"I haven't told you who you're talking about yet."

The moment he heard Shi Lei's words, Shi Xiaohan's heart throbbed involuntarily for a moment.

"Yes...... Could it be him? She thought silently, Gu Xu's familiar face appeared in her mind, and her cheeks inadvertently flushed slightly.

The appearance of her daughter was obviously expected by Shi Lei.

Although this girl doesn't admit it on weekdays, and she also twists and pinchs when she mentions Gu Xu in the letter, Shi Lei knows that her soul has long been taken away by Gu Xu's kid. The shyness that couldn't be hidden in her eyes had already betrayed her innermost thoughts.

"It's the guy you have in mind."

Shi Lei looked at his daughter with a complicated smile on his face. Now that my daughter has grown up, she is about to leave this home and live her own life. In this regard, Shi Lei was naturally quite reluctant.

Shi Xiaohan stood in place, motionless.

Her lips lifted slightly, and her breathing paused for a moment.

At this moment, Gu Xu's figure appeared in her mind again - he changed into a red wedding dress and was standing on the edge of the sedan chair, smiling at her.

"I ...... I wasn't thinking about that guy Gu Xu......" she turned her head and stammered. However, in her heart, there was a villain cheering.

"Hmph, I'm still hard-mouthed."

Shi Lei shook his head helplessly, reached out to touch her head, and straightened her hair that was blown by the wind, but Shi Xiaohan immediately avoided it.

He paused, and then said, "Sensei said something else." You just tell me if you want to or not. ”

Hearing this, Shi Xiaohan was silent for a long time, then pursed his lips, nodded subconsciously, and said "um" softly.

Her cheeks flushed even redder unconsciously.

Marriage is never something that is wishful thinking.

In the Great Qi Dynasty, a couple had a total of six steps from marriage proposal to marriage, namely: "Nacai", "Asking for Name", "Naji", "Nazheng", "Asking for Period", and "Greeting".

It is also known as the "Six Rites".

Among them, "Nacai" means that men and women send matchmakers to each other's homes to discuss family affairs - "matchmaker" refers to the man's matchmaker, and "concubine" refers to the woman's matchmaker. If both parties are interested, the man will officially send a matchmaker to the woman's home to propose marriage and bring certain gifts.

As the old saying goes:

"I am scared, and there is no good matchmaker." （1）

"How's Vaco? Bandit axe is not restrained. How about taking a wife? Bandits are not allowed. ”（2）

Although the Great Qi Dynasty did not have strict defenses for men and women like Gu Xu's previous life in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it still followed the tradition of "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker" in the matter of marriage.

Even if the two are already in love, they need to complete the whole process of kissing, proposing, and dating through matchmaking, in order to be considered a complete marriage.

So two days later, when Gu Xu was practicing in his mansion, a hunchbacked old woman surnamed Liu suddenly came to visit, claiming to be a matchmaker.

Gu Xu frowned slightly, and wanted to decline politely.

Recently, due to Gu Xu's fame in Luojing, countless people who sent matchmakers to his mansion were all driven away by Gu Xu on the grounds that "it is close to the Luoshui Conference and needs to focus on cultivation".

However, Granny Liu's words dispelled Gu Xu's thoughts.

I only heard her smile on her face and said, "It was Shi Qianhu from Laizhou Mansion who asked me to come." ”

"Shi Qianhu of Laizhou Mansion......" Gu Xu silently repeated the name in his heart.

As we all know, Shi Lei has only one daughter. He scolded the matchmaker to come to the door, and the conversation would naturally be about Shi Xiaohan's marriage.

Although Gu Xu is young, after all, he has lived two lives and experienced a lot of things - he has climbed the Jinluan Palace, climbed to the top of Laoshan Mountain, and confronted the fierce god face to face. This allows him to be basically unfazed when faced with a variety of different situations.

But at this moment, he was a little overwhelmed.

His heart was as still as water.

But at this moment, a stone fell into it, causing ripples on the calm water.

"Lord Gu, Lord Shi had long expected that you would have some concerns in your heart," after seeing Gu Xu's expression, Granny Liu said with a smile as she handed an envelope to Gu Xu's hand, "So he specially asked me to hand over this thing to you."

"Lord Shi's daughter is now in her prime, and she is so beautiful that there are countless people who want to go to the Shi family's mansion to discuss their relatives.

"I can guess, Master Gu, a young talent like you may have in mind 'start a business first, and then start a family'. But you have to understand that other girls won't stay with you forever. ”

Gu Xu did not respond immediately.

Granny Liu's words made his gaze a little more solemn.

PS: Sorry for the short chapter. Recently, I've been dizzy, my thinking is very confused, and I can't find my state (I often can't squeeze out a line for a few hours, and it doesn't feel right to write it out qaq), I hope you can give me a little time to adjust.
