Chapter 48 Matchmaking

Author: Emei Swordsman

Su Qi was too enthusiastic, which made Gu Yunqiao feel embarrassed for a moment. He didn't know how to react. He looked left and right and couldn't see his brother Gu Yunji, so he became more and more anxious, hoping that someone would come to rescue him immediately.

As she wished, Cheng Yan stood up quickly and grabbed Su Qi's sleeves and pulled him and Gu Yunqiao a few steps away: "Su Qi, you scared this girl."

Then he showed an apologetic smile to Gu Yunqiao and said politely: "Cheng Yan, this is Su Qi. We are both your brother's classmates at Luxi Academy. Just now, my friend got carried away and offended Gu.

Miss, I hope Miss Gu will forgive me."

The young man in front of him looked much gentler and more polite than the one just now. Gu Yunqiao calmed down, lowered his guard, and said softly: "It doesn't matter. Since he is my brother's friend, he is also a guest of our house, no matter what.

What's the offense?"

At this time, Su Qi also realized that he had been rude just now, and said with some embarrassment: "After I became a military commander, I was very nervous. My behavior just now was a bit out of line. Miss Gu, don't take it to heart."

It was not a big deal in the first place, so Gu Yunqiao naturally couldn't care less about it. He brushed off the topic in a few words and asked, "Have you two gentlemen seen where my brother has gone?"

Cheng Yan said: "Yunji and Mr. Gu are toasting in the front yard. Does Miss Gu have anything important to do with him?"

Gu Yunqiao shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that important. I just wanted to send him a few hangover pills in case he drinks too much and feels uncomfortable today."

Cheng Yan smiled and said, "I see. There are just so many guests in the front yard that Yun Ji won't be able to come over for a while. How about I hand it over to the lady?"

The guests in the front yard were changing glasses, and many of them were drunk at this moment. If Gu Yunqiao went to see Gu Yunji in person, he might have been bumped into by someone who was so drunk that he was confused. Thinking again of last year's grandfather's birthday party in Fucheng

The incident of being teased by a drunkard made her even more hesitant.

At this moment, Cheng Yan's proposal can be said to be the best of both worlds. Gu Yunqiao also thinks this is very appropriate. He can't help but feel good about this gentle, polite and considerate young man: "Then thank you two gentlemen." With that, he took the hangover pills.

Pass it to Cheng Yan.

Here, Gu Yunji was toasting with Gu Yunxiao. When he saw the groom, the guests were more or less teasing, and one or two of them wanted to pour wine into Gu Yunxiao. Gu Yunji tried to block him, but sometimes he still might not be able to push him away.

After taking it off, I could only raise my neck and drink the wine myself.

Gu Kaili was so happy that his face was red now, and his whole body was exuding a strong smell of alcohol. When he saw Gu Yunxiao and the others walking towards him, he proudly showed off to the guests at the same table: "Did you see this?

My eldest nephew! I was the one who facilitated their marriage from beginning to end!"

In fact, it is not that exaggerated. Gu Kaili just pulled the strings at the beginning. Gu Yunxiao was too lazy to explain his drunken words on this occasion. Seeing that Gu Kaili could not stand still, he quickly supported his shaky body:

"Uncle, please sit down quickly, don't fall."

Gu Kaili immediately poured his weight on Gu Yunxiao, leaning on his shoulder and said: "How could I fall if I stand so firmly? Yunxiao, today is your special day. No matter what, you must have a good drink. Come on, uncle.

!”

Gu Yunxiao couldn't refuse, so he had to pick up the wine glass and drink it all in one gulp. Gu Kaili was still not satisfied and wanted to add more wine to his glass: "One glass is not enough, two more!"

Upon seeing this, Gu Yunji quickly took Gu Kaili's arm, supported his body on his own, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you can't drink anymore. You see you are drunk. If you want to drink, my nephew will drink with you."

"I'm not drunk... Oh, Yunji!" Gu Kaili opened his blurry drunken eyes. After seeing clearly that the person in front of him was Gu Yunji, he immediately became excited and his mind became clearer.

"I heard that you became your teacher at Luxi Academy and were received by His Majesty. You are so young and you have achieved so much. You are truly an amazing young man!"

Perhaps because of the promotion of Gu Yunxiao's marriage, Gu Kaili became addicted to matchmaking. When he caught Gu Yunji, he started nagging: "Now that your eldest brother is getting married, has your own marriage been settled? Have your parents told you that they are married?"

Gu Yunji didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Uncle, I'm only fifteen years old, it's still too early to get married."

Gu Kaili waved his hand disapprovingly: "Fifteen is not too young. My uncle was already engaged when he was your age. Even if you are not in a hurry to get a wife, you can get engaged first. Let me tell you, I have a colleague's daughter...

…”

"Uncle!" Gu Yunxiao suddenly spoke up and quietly changed the subject, "I haven't seen cousin Mingxuan for a long time. How is he in the capital recently?"

Mentioning his most promising son, Gu Kaili couldn't hide his pride: "Xuan'er has just been appointed an official in the Ministry of Finance and now works in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Last month, he was engaged to the second daughter of Heping Yanghou."

Gu Yunji next to him looked very surprised: "Really? It's a good thing that my cousin didn't get married so early, otherwise how could we have such a good marriage?"

Gu Kaili was very satisfied with his reaction and became more and more excited: "That's not true! Last year I was worried about Xuan'er's marriage. Who would have thought that later he was attracted by Pingyang Hou and betrothed his daughter to him, and now he is about to

He is the son-in-law of the Marquis, and he really doesn’t worry us at all."

"What the uncle said is that no one can predict what will happen in the future." Gu Yunji said as he walked out, "Then I don't have to worry about my nephew's marriage." After that, before Gu Kaili could react, he pulled Gu Kaili.

Yunxiao left and soon went to the next table to toast.

After a round of toasts, Gu Yunji himself drank a lot. His head was dizzy, and his stomach felt uncomfortable. After leaving Gu Yunxiao, he was about to find some tea when he saw Cheng Yan.

He Su Qi walked towards him.

Cheng Yan handed him the hangover pills and said, "Your sister gave you the hangover pills. She came to the table to look for you, but she didn't see you, so she went back by herself."

Gu Yunji thanked him, took the pill and swallowed it with water. The power of the medicine slowly spread in his stomach, relieving the feeling of swelling, and he immediately felt much better.

Su Qi asked: "We see that you are toasting, so don't bother us. You have been waiting here for a long time. Logically speaking, it won't take long to finish the toast. Why did you delay for so long?"

Gu Yunji smiled bitterly: "My uncle was drunk. He dragged me and insisted on being a matchmaker for me. He also introduced the daughter of some of his colleagues. I couldn't shirk it for a while, so I was delayed."

Su Qi seemed to have remembered something, glanced at him with a half-smile, and said meaningfully: "It's a good thing you refused, otherwise you would have missed a marriage that is thousands of times better than this."

Gu Yunji looked puzzled: "Marriage? How can I have a thousand times better marriage?"

Su Qi punched him and said, "You don't know, right? Everyone said that the reason why Chief Xu Shanchang chose his disciples among this year's freshmen was because he wanted to choose a son-in-law. His daughter

He is only fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same age as you. The mountain chief values ​​you so much and treats you as his own son, don't you notice at all?"

Gu Yunji looked strange and said in a rather unbelievable tone: "It's impossible, right? Although the teacher is very kind to me, it's because I'm his disciple. Isn't that what it should be? Besides, he never told me

Where did you hear about this?"

"Can this kind of thing be explained clearly? Isn't it natural?" Su Qi seemed to know this well. "In a few years, you will pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, Jinshi, and get along so well with Miss Xu.

The feelings that have been accumulated over a long period of time will all come naturally, and there is no need for the mountain chief to do anything on his own."

Cheng Yan also said: "You know Fang Zigui, right? He wanted to be Shanchang Xu's disciple so much, and it was also because of this incident. In terms of the time spent with Miss Xu and the respect of Shanchang, it is difficult for the son of a good friend to surpass his personal relationship.

A disciple taught by each other."

Seeing that Gu Yunji still couldn't believe it, Cheng Yan patted him on the shoulder: "I'm afraid you are the only one who doesn't know about this relationship now, but you don't have to think too much, no one will tell this kind of thing. Like Su Qi

As I said, let everything take its course. If you have that fate, it will be good. If you don't, you won't lose anything."

Hearing what they said, Gu Yunji was caught off guard and his mind was confused for a moment.

He might...become the teacher's son-in-law? It's hard for Gu Yunji to imagine. Although he thinks Xu Shuhua is a very good woman, she is beautiful and full of talents, she is smart, studious and generous, which left a good impression on him, but he really

Never thought about it in this direction.

If he must marry a wife in the future, if the wife is Xu Shuhua, it seems to be not bad... Forget it, it's too far-fetched. Gu Yunji put aside the messy thoughts in his mind and said to the two of them: "You guys will take care of this from now on."

Don't say any more, I'm not afraid of anything, don't ruin the girl's reputation."

"Okay, okay, we won't say anything, as long as you treat him normally." Cheng Yan said with a smile, and then put the matter down.

The wedding banquet lasted until dusk, and the guests dispersed one after another. The Gu Mansion, which was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, gradually became quiet. After bidding farewell to Cheng Yan and settling down with Su Qi, Gu Yunji went back to his room to rest early, feeling exhausted.

The servants were cleaning and cleaning in the afterglow of the setting sun. At this time, there was no one else to disturb them. With the expectation of the newlywed wife, the groom entered the bridal chamber with anxiety.

The candlelight flickered, the figures faced each other, and the whispers of the newlyweds in the wedding room were inaudible. Gu Kaizhen and Mrs. Wang settled a major matter in their hearts, and the warm smiles may remain on their faces for several days. It was a busy day.

It was finally over, and Gu Yunxiao's wedding came to an end amidst the blessings of everyone.

The aroma of rice dumplings wafting from outside the alley slowly faded away, and the mugwort hanging outside the door gradually withered. The short Dragon Boat Festival passed in a blink of an eye in the lively atmosphere of the festival. It was late at night, and people took a rest, preparing for the sun to rise.

Keep doing what you should do.
