Chapter 5503 Childhood Sweetheart's Cousin
With Jin Ye opening the way, Zhao told Yang Ruoqing and Ping'er everything about the Gu family, just like pouring beans through a bamboo tube.
“I have been a matchmaker for most of my life, and almost everything is successful. This sign is well-known in Wanghai County, but I worked as a matchmaker for the Gu family three times in a row, and I almost failed. My sign was smashed, and I get angry when I mention the Gu family!" Mrs. Zhao put away the gold leaves properly and said angrily.
Ping'er asked: "Have you done it three times? When did you start doing it? Why didn't it work? But Gu Juren's vision is too high?"
Matchmaker Zhao shook his head: "It's not his vision. Gao, although he is a civil servant, his parents used to work as a small boy in the county town. In this business, he is not the only one in our county who has a good family background, good character, and has a good reputation. Why is he so high-minded? It failed three times because the woman was not happy. One time, the only daughter of Hu Yuan's family agreed. This marriage is about to happen, and it’s almost three days before the wedding!”
Ping'er frowned: "Why is this? Does it mean that Gu Juren has a hidden disease?"
Matchmaker Zhao shook her head again: "I don't know if Gu Juren has a hidden disease. I can't take off his clothes to see. Right? However, the woman broke off the engagement three times, all because Gu Juren was romantic!
"Does he like to flirt with women and go to brothels? Or does he have a lot of intercourse girls in the house before he is married?" Ping'er asked again.
As the eldest maid next to the mistress who came from the Yang family in Yuncheng, Ping'er is well versed in the inside stories of those families with slightly larger families.
Young masters have just grown up, and they are surrounded by maids to wait on them. At such a young age, they yearn for everything. When they live together in the same house, they will inevitably do things that make them distant.
Matchmaker Zhao shook her head for the third time: "Before I became a matchmaker, I also inquired about Gu Juren's character. He was talented, ambitious, and very righteous. He occasionally went to a restaurant with his classmates to drink, recite poems and compose poems, but never When I go to a brothel, there are no unclear maids in the house.”
“It’s just that. He has one of his best cousins, a young widow. I heard that she is from his aunt's house and has been living in his house temporarily for the past few years. "
"Three marriages have been broken up. The reason has nothing to do with that cousin!"
Ping'er was shocked when she heard what Zhao said.
She looked at Yang Ruoqing and said, "When we first discussed the marriage, we asked him how many people were in his family. They only said that he had two sisters, both of whom were married in the county, but they did not mention the cousin who lives at home temporarily!"
Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment, then asked the matchmaker: "The cousin doesn't have any Her mother's family? Why should she stay with the Gu family? Besides, she is a widow, so it is very inconvenient to live with her relatives. She played with her younger brother. Her own mother was gone long ago. Her father married her stepmother. "I have already taken care of the Gu family."
Yang Ruoqing said again: "If this is the case, then the cousin is the owner. Why does the host want to destroy it? She is in love with Gu Juren? Do the Gu family's parents know about this? "
Zhao said: "A widow was kicked out by her husband's family. Her childhood sweetheart's cousin passed the imperial examination. It was the time when she was so romantic. She must have been heartbroken. Besides, she couldn't get anything good if she remarried. You might as well hold on to the life-saving straw of your cousin!”
"As for the fact that she ruined the marriage, the Gu family's parents knew about it, because when the third marriage failed, I kicked him out and scolded them. At that time, the Gu family's parents were extremely angry. Mr. Gu wanted to kill the little widow. After being kicked out, the little widow was crying and looking for life and death. Mrs. Gu couldn't bear it. Gu Juren also relented. I felt so bored when I saw it. I swore that I would never hold a red line for him from the Gu family. I asked others to hold a red line for him. First of all, you have to clean your butt. Look, because I don’t care about the Gu family. He offended three women in a row!" Ping'er frowned and her face turned cold.
Yang Ruoqing also looked calm. Apparently, the Gu family deliberately concealed something while proposing marriage to Huahua.
In view of the fact that the Gu family has repeatedly brought forward the wedding date and is so impatient, it was originally suspicious, but now it becomes more and more certain that there must be something fishy involved.
"If that's the case, then why don't the Gu family just let their son marry his cousin?" Yang Ruoqing asked again with a stern face.
Mrs. Zhao snorted, "Sister, you are really kind-hearted. The second elder of the Gu family has been running a small business all his life and managed to support his son to pass the exam. He also gained respect and was called "Master". From then on, his son still To continue When it comes to fame, isn’t it too bad to marry that cousin? Not to mention marrying someone who is beneficial to your career, at least you can’t marry a widow and be laughed at, right?”
Yang Ruoqing nodded, “Then? Now ? Is that cousin still living in the Gu family?"
Zhao thought for a moment: "She was there last month, but she didn't seem to be seen this month, and I didn't pay any attention to her."
Yang Ruoqing. After inviting Mrs. Zhao to come over, "You do something for me, and I will thank you very much after the job is done..."
After sending Ms. Zhao away, Yang Ruoqing turned around and found Ping'er's whole body. He slowly squatted down against the cold and damp wall of the alley.
"Qing'er, what should I do? The Gu family sounds like a pool of sewage. Do I really want to marry Huahua to such a family?"
Ping'er hugged her knees with both hands, lowered her head and shed tears, hesitant. Helpless, out of ideas.
Yang Ruoqing returned to Ping'er and knelt down, "Isn't it still five or six days before Huahua gets married? Don't worry, Matchmaker Zhao is just telling the story, and we can't believe it. Next, we will do it ourselves. Everyone is watching every move of the Gu family to see what's going on!"
Ping'er raised her head and said, "If Gu Juren becomes successful in the future, he will definitely take a concubine, and I will do that! have Be mentally prepared, after all, I come from a wealthy family."
"As long as Huahua secures her position as wife and gives birth to a legitimate child, I will be relieved, but she is not yet married like Gu Juren. Recently, a widowed cousin got married three times in a row, so we need to be careful. Maybe Huahua’s first cousin will also come in as a concubine. This kind of concubine is not easy to control.”
Yang Ruoqing thought about it and agreed with Ping'er's words: "Yes, it can be seen from the Gu family's previous attitude towards the cousin. Gu's mother, Huahua's mother-in-law, is close to the cousin, and Gu Juren and her cousin are childhood sweethearts. Because of his official career, he cannot marry his cousin as his official wife. He has not married anyone else in the past few years, which shows that he plans to stay in the Gu family for a long time. "
"Then if my cousin becomes a concubine, Huahua, the official wife, will be at home. You may be in a dilemma, struggling to move forward, and become an outsider!”
“Ping’er, let me tell you, let’s go directly to Gu’s house later to ask about the situation. What do you think?”
Ping'er thought about it carefully and gritted her teeth: "For the sake of Huahua's life, I don't care so much anymore. Let's go now. I want to ask the question face to face!"
