Mu Mansion Villa.
Mother Gu looked at Gu Zhengchen who had returned, looking back and forth. Mrs. Chen was also pointing and speaking in a low voice.
Gu Zhengchen asked, but the two of them said nothing.
In the backyard, when Wu Rong saw Gu Zhengchen coming back, he also looked at Gu Zhengchen with strange eyes. Gu Zhengchen was so depressed that he kicked twice but missed, and said angrily: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Wu Rong suddenly laughed, like a bastard holding up his hands to congratulate him. Before he could say a few nice words, Mu Chun rushed over, grabbed Gu Zhengchen's arm and shouted: "Master, are we going to have a master's wife?"
"Master's wife?"
Gu Zhengchen was stunned and looked at Wu Rong.
Wu Rong took two steps back and said quickly: "Not long ago, your sister came back and said that you gave Miss Zhang a token of love and asked your mother to find a matchmaker to find a match."
"Token of love, what token?"
Gu Zhengchen didn't know.
Wu Rong looked at Gu Zhengchen who refused to admit it, and said with a smile: "It is the right thing for men to get married when they are older, and it is better for girls to get married when they are older. There is nothing that cannot be said. It's just that you are so bold, directly bypassing both parents, and making a private appointment at Tianjie Temple. It's very rare to be in love."
"I came to see the scenery!"
Gu Zhengchen insisted.
Wu Rong nodded: "We are all men, who doesn't know that beautiful women are also scenery. I just said, I don't see you having a good impression of Buddha on weekdays, why did Laba go to Tianjie Temple..."
Gu Zhengchen vomited blood: "I really came to see the scenery!"
"What scenery are you looking at?"
"The trees are so thick, the clouds are so white, so many people..."
Mu Chun raised his head. It turns out that describing trees, people and clouds can be like this. I would have recited something like "jasper makes up a tree as tall as a tree, with thousands of green silk ribbons hanging down." "It's a lot of effort..."
Wu Rong looked at Gu Zhengchen with disdain. Yao Zhenke said that you personally put Buddhist beads on someone's head and even talked to him alone. As a result, he ran away shyly. She is a girl who has not left the court. You Why are you so bold? If the pedantic old Confucians find out about this, it would be strange if they don't block the door of your house and scold you...
"Yao Zhen said that?"
Gu Zhengchen knew who was talking nonsense. Even if his sister said a few words, she would not say anything about a token of love.
Wu Rong was shocked: "Did I just spill the beans?"
Gu Zhengchen found a stick and ran out. Yao Zhen, you kid is talking nonsense, don't run away...
Gu's mother bought gifts and went to Mu Mansion to find Feng.
Mrs. Feng was very happy for Mrs. Gu's arrival. She was a little unhappy when she saw that Gu's mother had prepared a gift: "Aunt Gu, what are you doing? The official is the husband of Chun'er and Sheng'er. When you come to the door, you are entering your own house. Why did you bring a gift and be so indifferent?"
Gu's mother smiled, exchanged a few words, and after sitting down, she said, "Mrs. Feng, I'm here to invite you today, so I've prepared a small gift."
Mrs. Feng asked someone to serve tea: "We are all members of the same family, whether we invite you or not. If we don't talk about the two families, just tell Aunt Gu if you want anything."
Gu's mother rubbed her cold hands: "It is said that marriages are based on the right time. Those who are early are likely to die young, and those who are late are prone to illness. Nowadays, the prime minister is a weak man. After New Year's Day, he will be one year older. It is also time to marry a matchmaker and start a family... …”
During the Ming Dynasty, men and women paid attention to "timing" when marrying, and it was not appropriate to marry too early or too late.
Men are between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five, and women are between the ages of fourteen and twenty. These are the "right times". Most people in the Ming Dynasty got married within this age group.
If it is below the above age group and too young, it is called "previous"; if it is beyond the above age group and too old, it is not called leftover men and women, it is called "outdated".
Neither the current time nor the past time can be communicated according to Yin and Yang in order to maintain the perfect harmony.
After hearing this, Ms. Feng's face was filled with joy. She quickly stood up and asked, "Aunt Gu, are you saying that you are going to be a matchmaker for the official? This is a good thing. Does he have a girl he likes? If not, I will ask someone to find out, and we will come to propose marriage. .”
Gu's mother stood up and walked towards Feng: "I heard from Qingqing that Zhengchen and Miss Zhang of Zhang Mansion are quite destined. Even Elder Ruqi of Tianjie Temple said that the two of them are deeply blessed and destined."
"Zhang Mansion?"
"The daughter of Zhang, a bachelor of Hongwen Hall, and the Zhang family."
"Oh, it turns out to be his family. Since Zhengchen has someone he likes, let's find a matchmaker to find a match."
Feng was very happy.
You must know that Gu Zhengchen and Mu Ying are close friends, and they have a close relationship. Moreover, Gu Zhengchen is also the master of Mu Chun and Mu Sheng, so the two families are tied together.
In addition to the nine clans, adding a teacher-student clan can make up the ten clans. This will help with the relationships within the ten clans.
Gu's mother took Feng's hand and said, "What I'm worried about is hiring a matchmaker. I haven't been in Jinling for a long time, and I don't know much about the matchmakers here. It would be a sin for the mother if it delays the life of an official. "
Feng nodded.
Parents to enrich people.
Matchmakers are indispensable, but the reputation of matchmakers is really disturbing.
When storytellers talk about matchmakers, they always sing: "This side brings good luck, that side congratulates you, the sugar tastes as sweet as honey, walking along the streets and alleys like flying, without even touching the ground. The pretty ones are praising the ugly ones and hiding their ambiguity... …The east family is resentful, the west family is regretful…”
Many matchmakers are similar to the Dharma mirrors used in Tianjie Temple, and they are all greedy for money.
If you don't have enough money, a girl who is obviously beautiful turns out to be ugly, so you have to look for someone else. Later, when you hear that she is beautiful, you regret it. He is obviously ugly, but he must be dignified and delicate. When he passed the door and lifted the red hijab, he immediately wanted to lift his skull.
Without giving enough money, it is not impossible to break up a good couple.
Gu's mother knew this, so she didn't dare to be careless and asked Feng to discuss it.
Knowing the importance of this matter, Mrs. Feng rejected Gu's mother's idea of choosing a good matchmaker in Jinling City: "Don't look for a matchmaker in the market. I ordered someone to find an official matchmaker. For the sake of Mu Mansion, he will definitely do the job carefully." .”
The official matchmaker is a woman specially appointed by the imperial court to manage matchmaking affairs. It has appeared as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty. The so-called "matchmaker controls the judgment of all people". This is Jinling, and there are many official media outlets, including Aunt Wei, who is quite reputable.
After Mu Ying finished handling the matters in the Governor's Mansion, she returned home and heard from Feng that something good was coming for Gu Zhengchen. She was so happy that she immediately went to the Mu Mansion.
Gu Zhengchen was lying on the deck chair in the backyard, watching the white clouds and dogs in trance.
Didn't he just go shopping once, didn't he just meet a woman he liked very much, didn't he just exchange a few words, and why did he become a matchmaker?
This change of fate was really fast, so fast that Gu Zhengchen felt a little unrealistic.
Mu Ying bent down, blocking Gu Zhengchen's sight, and smiled heartily: "I heard that you even beat Yao Zhen because he said you gave him a token of love. Haha, what does this mean? I thought I married Feng back then. I also gave her a token of love before, which is a good story, but every time I mention it, Mrs. Feng is still shy, like a little girl beating me."
Gu Zhengchen rolled his eyes: "What token of love did you give me?"
"The skirt!"
Mu Ying was shameless.
Gu Zhengchen opened his mouth wide and pointed at Mu Ying.
The skirt is also underwear.
Your Muying is still not a human being. She has never broken through the secular world like you did. She is just acting like a hooligan!
