Chapter 88 - After the first to seven
After the first to seven
The matchmaker said tirelessly for nearly half an hour, and finally Tao still distressed the tea in Fuzhong, so she was invited to leave after all.
However, although she left, the echoes stayed for a long time, endlessly.
Tao Mo clutched his forehead and asked old Tao in a pitiful way: “Do you know who Miss Xu is?” Miss Xu initially asked the matchmaker to come to the house to raise relatives. He was just a coincidence, not taken seriously, and let Old Tao pass away. Unexpectedly, this Miss Xu really seemed to have recognized him, retired one after another, and asked again and again, and again and again, much more frustrated and courageous, it really made him puzzled.
“Miss Xu is the eldest lady of the prosperous satin village.” Master Jin suddenly appeared with a smile on his face. “I heard that although he was born as a merchant, he knew the truth and was beautiful, and he was a rare beauty.”
Tao Mo dumbfounded: “Why did she look at me?”
Master Jin said with a smile: “Why is the East family arrogant? You are also the Qipin county magistrate of the imperial court. He is in charge of the government of a county and has no wife in the hall and no name outside. This is a rare good son-in-law.”
Tao Mo cold sweat began to take off again.
“A beautiful lady with a good son-in-law. In my opinion, this marriage is simply a talented woman, and it is a match made in heaven. It will be passed out in the future, and it is also a piece of story. Why should the Dong family blindly refuse to be a thousand miles away, and be incomprehensible?”
If Master Jin is not a man, Tao Mo almost doubts that he is the fourth matchmaker. He looked at Lao Tao for help.
Old Tao slowly said: “Master, you know the mind of the master.”
Tao Mo’s heart sank.
Old Tao said: “My mind, you also know.”
Tao Mo shrank.
“But it’s about your lifelong happiness, you should make your own idea.” Lao Tao sighed and walked out.
Master Jin was stunned. He thought that the other party was in such good conditions that Lao Tao would be unable to wait for the match, not wanting to let him decide.
Before leaving, Tao Tao suddenly turned to Master Jin and said, “Master Jin is familiar with the Xu family?”
“Of course,” Master Jin whispered suddenly after he blurted out, and laughed a few times, “community.”
Old Tao smiled, and walked out the door with his hand, and turned towards his room.
It was still dawn, but the doors and windows of his room were tightly closed.
He pushed the door into the house, and a young man in common clothes was waiting behind the door. Seeing him come in and salute: “Elder Lu.”
Lao Tao nodded and said, “You have done a good job.”
The young man smiled subtly: “I’m just following orders.”
Tao Tao said: “I didn’t expect you to ask Master Jin to speak.”
Youth said: “Master Jin was not asked by me, but by Mr. Xu. He said that since it is a play, it must be realistic.”
Only a smile appeared on Lao Tao’s face, “It seems that your future father-in-law is very enlightened.”
“If I hadn’t taught me to help each other in crisis, there wouldn’t be a day for Master Xu. He remembered it, and he didn’t dare or forget it.”
Tao Tao said: “Wait for this matter, I will ask the young master to marry the two.”
The youth was embarrassed.
Old Tao smiled and said: “Nature still has me.”
The young man was grateful: “Thank you Elder Lu.” For them, a county official’s marriage is not a big deal. It is decent to prove the marriage to the elders.
Old Tao said: “But before that, it will be a few days to grieve Miss Xu.”
The young man hesitated and said: “There are words that the subordinate does not know and should not speak properly.”
“speak.”
“Why did Master Tao really fancy whom? Why should we try this way? In fact, it is common for men and women to marry women, and adults can send matchmakers to come to the house to raise relatives.” What he wondered in his heart was why a stately man like Tao Mo did not Dare to come to the house to raise relatives, but instead asked his fiancee to sacrifice his girlfriend to complete him.
Old Tao patted his shoulder.
The young man hurriedly lowered his head and said, “The subordinates are talkative.”
Lao Tao hinted indistinctly: “If there’s nothing to do, contact more with help.” Especially the two characters who teach and teach.
“…Yes.” Obviously, Lao Tao’s hint was too vague and tortuous, and the youth did not feel it.
One hour to practice Chinese characters and one hour to play chess.
Tao Mobing was defeated because she still thought about Miss Xu.
Gu She’s siege to the city was not easy, and just a few incense sticks, the mountains and rivers were set.
Tao Mo wobbled black spots on the chessboard for a long while and gave up: “I lost.”
Gu Shedao said: “It is also a good thing to lose the game to win the beauties.”
Tao Mo shook his hand, and black chess fell on the chessboard, disturbing the layout, and also disturbing the spring water that was not calm. “Have you heard?”
Gu She leaned back in his chair and sipped tea slowly.
Tao Mo whispered: “I don’t know what to do.”
“I don’t know how to hire?” Gu Shedao said.
Tao Mo hurriedly waved his hand and said: “Naturally not. I, how can I marry her.” He was born with a broken sleeve, and marrying a woman hurt her.
Gu She said: “What’s the problem? Reject it.”
“But she is a woman, this kind of thing will damage the reputation of the girl.” It is difficult for the woman to come to the door to mention her parents, not to mention being rejected one after another.
Gu She looked at him silently.
Tao Modao: “Compare your heart, if I were her, I would be sad.”
Gu She looked at the tea leaves sinking at the bottom of the cup, shook the teacup, watched the water ripples, and put it down again, “You haven’t seen her before, so she thought she loved you deeply, shouldn’t you marry him? ?”
Tao Mo embarrassedly said: “I didn’t mean that.”
“Have you ever heard a word. Nothing is attentive, or stolen.”
Tao Mo frowned unconsciously, “can’t say that.”
Gu She froze.
Tao Mo stubbornly said: “It’s okay for you to say that I am, but she is a woman, this sentence is too harsh.” The words behind him became lighter and lighter, but they still passed into Gu She’s ears.
“Meek?” He pursed his lips.
Tao Mo waved his hands hurriedly, “I don’t mean that. I just thought that this sentence was a bit, a bit, and inappropriate.”
Gu She looked at him for a long while and got up and walked out. After recuperating for so many days, the injury was so good, although sometimes it was a little bit itchy, but it usually doesn’t matter if you walk slowly.
As soon as he stood up, Tao Mo followed him up.
Gu She lifted his foot across the threshold and walked without turning back.
Tao Mo chased to the threshold and stopped, looking at his figure farther and farther, feeling uncomfortable over the river. He didn’t regret the refusal just now, but regretted that he hadn’t read the book. His words were not tactful enough. He knew that Gu She was good for him, but he made him angry.
He didn’t know exactly how he came back from the Yamen, he just lay in the bed and didn’t want to move. In the evening Hao Guoguo brought dinner, he curled up and hid under the quilt.
Hao Guoguo asked a few times to no avail, and changed the old pottery again.
Lao Tao didn’t enter the door, just looked at him silently at the door. He planned this game just to cut the mess. A thing in love is not harmful, it will only sink deeper and deeper. Rather than waiting for Tao Mo to face these kinds of hardships in the future, it is better to make everything clear now. If Gu She also has a heart, then he has nothing to say, and they are the one to complete them. If not, even with a golden sword and a silver sword, he will cut off both of them!
Moonlight is graceful, the courtyard is full of sparse shadows, and the ground is clear and bright.
Gu She sat alone on a soft seat cushioned with several layers of cotton, next to which was a jug of sake, drinking and pouring.
“Gu Gongzi is so elegant.” Lao Tao jumped from the eaves. “Toast alone to invite Mingyue.”
Gu Shedao said: “Mr. Tao is also in the middle of the night to find the fragrance, but it seems to find the wrong place.”
Lao Tao coughed and said, “I’m here to seek my son.”
Gu She drank the wine from the glass.
“I want to ask Gu Gongzi to do a favor.” Lao Tao said, “Recently, a Miss Xu asked the matchmaker to match her with the young master. I have asked someone to find out. This Miss Xu is young and beautiful. It’s a rare good marriage. It’s just that my young master is shy and never considered men and women. It is inevitable that he will be swaying. I want to ask Gu Gongzi to meet with the young master and persuade him.”
Gu She put down the cup, “You didn’t come to ask me to talk about it.”
Old Tao was stunned.
Gu She slowly said: “If you really want Tao Mo to agree to this marriage, you won’t come to me.”
Lao Tao didn’t change his face: “Why do you see it?”
Gu She said: “You know, I will never agree.”
Old Tao innocent said: “I don’t know.”
Gu She said indifferently: “Then you know now.”
Tao Tao said: “Can I ask why?”
“No,” Gu shot.
Old Tao looked at him, his eyes full of inquiry.
Gu She looked at her with ease, and after a while said: “Because I haven’t figured it out yet.”
