Chapter 63: matchmaker
Chapter 63 Matchmaker
On the first day of setting off to Jingbian for disaster relief, a major event happened in the capital.
Granny Jiang, who has not been a matchmaker for five years, suddenly resumed her old job.
Speaking of Granny Jiang, she can be said to be the most famous matchmaker in the capital. Forty years ago, she suddenly appeared in the capital and started a job as a matchmaker. It stands to reason that as a foreigner with no relatives and no friends, he should not be popular as a matchmaker. But there will always be a few people who invite her out of curiosity.
Then... What is amazing is that everything she introduces is harmonious and full of love. And this Granny Jiang is different from other matchmakers. For other matchmakers, as long as they are courteous, no matter what kind of person they are, they will take over. Black can also be called white. Granny Jiang, however, was honest and honest, and she had to personally understand the family background and character of both men and women before she came to the door. Only when she felt that it was really suitable would she continue.
How to marry a wife, bandit matchmakers are not allowed. A man and a woman know their names through a matchmaker, and they will not make friends without a matchmaker; a man without a matchmaker cannot get a wife, and a woman without a matchmaker is old and will not marry.
Even Gu Changan, the chief assistant who is well-known in the government and the public, needs a matchmaker as a middleman if he wants to marry a wife.
And Gu Changan was looking for this Granny Jiang.
Grandma Jiang also responded directly.
So, whether it's Granny Jiang returning to her old job, or Gu Shoufu, who seems cold and resigned, wants to get married, this is a shocking event.
However, what is even more shocking... is that the person Gu Shoufu wants to marry is actually the delicate and frail young lady in General Ruan's residence, Ruan Youqing.
So, the person who got the first-hand gossip immediately went to wait at the gate of Ruan Mansion.
They're going to see if it's true.
Then…
They waited from Mao to noon, and finally saw a delicate sedan chair stopped at the gate of Ruan Mansion.
Afterwards, an old woman in her sixties or seventies came out of the sedan chair. Her top was a purple blouse, and her slightly plump waist and hips were wrapped in a black brocade skirt. The hair mixed with white silk was neatly tied into a round bun, with two burnt blue hairpins on the front of the bun, and a silk cloth inlaid with amber stones around the forehead to wipe the forehead.
I didn’t know, I thought she was the old lady of a big family.
And those who knew, covered their mouths excitedly and said, "Look! This...is Granny Jiang!"
Unknowingly surprised: "It's just a matchmaker, why do you get so excited?"
"The matchmakers who have been arranged by her are all so affectionate and loving. What's more, she can't be invited by anyone."
"So what if you are so affectionate to Baishou? Let's talk about a matchmaker, why do you have to hire someone with such a big air?"
「Do you know her real identity?」
"real identity?"
"She is from Baiyun Temple."
…
"White Cloud Temple?" Ruan Youqing was sitting in front of the mirror at this time, letting Fan Er dress her up.
At this time, Fan Er happened to be talking about that Granny Jiang with Ruan Youqing.
What surprised Ruan Youqing was that this Granny Jiang... even had no memory of the Baiyun Temple that Faner mentioned in her previous life.
Fan'er saw that his young lady was curious, so he continued: "Yes, Miss, then Granny Jiang is from the Baiyun Temple. The slaves have just heard about the reputation of this Baiyun Temple. It is rumored that the owner of the Baiyun Temple can know the destiny. Think Those who want to go to their Guanzhu to calculate a divination, I am afraid that they will have to wait in line for five years."
"...If this temple master is really capable, then the incense they have there should be good. Why did this Mrs. Jiang come to the capital on purpose to be this...matchmaker?" Ruan Youqing raised her eyebrows slightly, a little puzzled.
Since she was reborn, she has hardly heard of this Baiyun Temple.
If there is a chance, she will definitely go there in person. Whether it is as magical as in the rumors, she will know if she tries it herself.
Fan'er lowered his voice and whispered in Ruan Youqing's ear: "I heard that the temple master and this Granny Jiang are half brothers and sisters, but between the two... some thoughts that should not exist have arisen. , Granny Jiang stopped her losses in time and left Baiyun Temple. Some people also said that the master of the temple and Granny Jiang were originally a pair of Taoist couples, but because of a conflict, the woman left in a fit of anger. ten years."
Hearing what the little girl was saying, Ruan Youqing reached out and hooked the tip of her nose helplessly, and said in a stern tone: "No matter what the facts are, just listen to this kind of thing, don't take it seriously, and don't talk about it in front of others. Go ask."
Fan'er stuck out her tongue and nodded in response.
After that, both of them stopped talking, and Fan only concentrated on dressing her.
After calming down, Ruan Youqing finally noticed himself in the mirror. Because today is a special day, she chose a long skirt with blue and emerald patterns, and because she was already long, her ink-like long hair was fanned into a bun with a simple bun. Emerald inlaid flower hairpin.
This color, on the contrary, gave her some energy, making Ruan Youqing look more lively than usual.
As for the makeup, because Ruan Youqing has a pair of peach blossom eyes, the curvature of the eyes makes people feel pity. Fan'er boldly applied some rouge under her eyes, making Ruan Youqing look even more pitiful.
"Faner...Is it inappropriate for me to be like this?" Ruan Youqing stretched out his slender fingers to pick at the table with some embarrassment. Two days ago, after my mother said that Gu Changan wanted to marry her, it didn't take long for Gu Changan to send a letter to them, saying that they would invite a matchmaker to come over today.
This is to seriously start putting marriage on the agenda.
Although Ruan Youqing has decades of memories, when facing Gu Changan, he really looks like a sixteen-year-old girl.
She...is going to marry Gu Changan?
Although after being reborn, she did plan to treat him well and slowly atone for his sins. But if marrying him is redemption...
Hmm...It's not that I can't...
Just in time, she now wants to slowly figure out the relationship between her and Gu Changan in the previous life...
marry him...
It's...inexplicably suitable...
Because she didn't have the slightest bit of resistance in her heart.
"Miss, you look like this, Mr. Gu likes you even more after seeing the appointment!"
"What do you like or not...and... Mr. Gu probably won't come today." Ruan Youqing blushed instantly.
Does Gu Changan like her...
Thinking of this, her heart was already pounding.
「Little girl, are you ready? The matchmaker has arrived!」
Ruan Youqing hurriedly responded, and then walked out of the room with the support of Fan'er.
…
At this time, Ruan Chong was talking to the rumored Granny Jiang.
Although Granny Jiang works as a matchmaker, she seems a little difficult to get along with. After sitting down in the front hall of the Ruan Mansion, a maid served tea for her, and after she thanked her, she didn't take the initiative to say a word.
It wasn't until Ruan Chong asked, that she couldn't see any simple responses with any emotion.
Such a gesture naturally made Ruan Chong a little unhappy.
Because of dissatisfaction, this Ruan Chong no longer had nothing to say to find out his discomfort, but seeing that Grandma Jiang had calmed down, she sat there comfortably. Even in the end, he closed his eyes, like an eminent monk in meditation.
It wasn't until Mu Fei walked in with Ruan Youqing and Ruan Youning that he pulled Ruan Chong out of the strange atmosphere of silence.
Before they could speak, Granny Jiang suddenly opened her eyes.
The eyes that were already a little cloudy suddenly looked at Ruan Youqing with clarity.
