50, matchmaker family
The two of them were talking, when the boulevard came to an end, Gu Qianxue was amazed again—it really was an ancestral house with rich heritage, it was different from the mansion of the nouveau riche in the city.
The pure black house looks ordinary, but in fact, every corner detail is extremely exquisite, whether it is the tiles or beams on the house, whether it is the wall or the column, there are exquisite carvings.
However, even with carvings and shapes, everything is still black and gray, low-key and luxurious.
This house is just like the family of a genius doctor. Although they are admired by thousands of people, they have not forgotten their roots, and they still do everything a genius doctor should do, vowing not to disgrace their lives.
While Gu Qianxue was admiring the century-old mansion, a woman walked out from the gate of the mansion. The woman was about forty years old, black and thin, wearing dark purple muslin clothes. The hair is very black but a little short, and there is an ordinary bun on the top of the head, with gold hairpins inserted obliquely on it, matching the gold earrings.
Generally speaking, although the dress is not considered fashionable, it is not shabby either.
The woman has a high nose bridge, eyes downcast lazily, revealing a kind of laziness and leisure all over her body.
She grabbed a handful of melon seeds with her left hand, and licked them as she walked, and threw the melon seed skins on the ground with her right hand. When he saw Zhou Rongqiu, he just glanced at him lightly, chewing melon seeds with relish, while responding casually, "Yo, the young master is back?"
Although he called him young master, in fact, he didn't have the respect he deserved at all.
Not to mention that Gu Qianxue was a little confused, even Yulian and Yucui were very confused.
Zhou Rongqiu was already used to this scene, so he greeted him naturally, "Hello, Aunt Zhong." His tone was much more polite than that of a woman.
The woman cast a glance at Zhou Rongqiu, then walked across the boulevard while eating melon seeds, and walked to the back of the house.
But just after taking two steps, she stopped suddenly, didn't even eat the melon seeds, hurried back, stood two feet away from Gu Qianxue, and stared blankly.
Gu Qianxue was puzzled.
Suddenly, the woman's complexion turned red, as if she saw some happy event, her leisurely face was gradually replaced by surprise, and then the surprise slowly turned into ecstasy.
When the ecstasy rose to the boiling point, the woman threw the melon seeds in her hand, turned around and ran into the house, shouting as she ran, "Old man Zha, come out and have a look, young master, he has finally enlightened, he brought the girl back , it seems that she is still a lady from the official family, the old man should come out and have a look!"
"..." Gu Qianxue, Yulian, Yucui.
Zhou Rongqiu hurried forward to explain, "No, Aunt Zhong, listen to me..."
Aunt Zhong ignored him at all, "Don't fix those broken medicines, old man, come out and have a look, hurry up!"
Under the urging of Aunt Zhong, after a while, a person came out of the house. He was a middle-aged man, about the same age as Aunt Zhong, with a thin body, but his face was full of loyalty.
When Uncle Zhong came out and saw Gu Qianxue, he trembled with excitement, and then he bowed his head to the west, "My lord, my lord, your spirits in the sky can rest in peace, the young master is finally enlightened to find a girl, I believe you will get married soon, Soon there will be a baby, if you give birth to a boy, someone will inherit the Zhou family business, if you give birth to a girl, you can give birth to a boy, if you keep giving birth to girls... Then find a son-in-law to inherit the family business."
"..." Gu Qianxue was stunned, what is this all about? Why do you think Zhou Rongqiu's family is so weird? In contrast, Zhou Rongqiu seemed to be normal.
Before she revealed her identity, the loyal uncle started rambling, feeling that the two would get married and have children soon.
Yulian was terrified, "Don't talk nonsense, uncle, my young lady and Mr. Zhou are innocent, this may ruin my young lady's reputation!"
Yu Cui also had a pale face and kept nodding.
In comparison, Gu Qianxue was much calmer. After all, she was not influenced by ancient women's rings, so she didn't care much about reputation or anything. Just clear up the misunderstanding.
Zhou Rongqiu was also very embarrassed, "Uncle Zhong, Aunt Zhong, you misunderstood, Miss Gu came to my house just to watch me practice martial arts."
Aunt Zhong rushed over, raised her triangular eyes, pinched her waist, "Master, are you stupid? Can't you take good care of such a pretty girl?"
Zhou Rongqiu hurriedly said, "Don't make trouble, Aunt Zhong, do you know who she is? She is the eldest daughter of Gu Shangshu, the Ministry of Rites, and her grandfather is Marshal Zhenyuan."
Aunt Zhong was even more excited, "This girl has a good family background, and the young master should take good care of it." As she spoke, she walked around Gu Qianxue, looking up and down, "Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of a lady from an official family. , the smell is good."
"..." Gu Qianxue was a little embarrassed, and looked at Zhou Rongqiu with her eyes, asking for help.
Uncle Zhong ran over and asked, "Are you afraid that Gu Shangshu will disagree? It's okay, we can ask the emperor to marry you. Young master, did you forget that our family has a death-proof token bestowed by the founding emperor?"
"That's not the problem." Zhou Rongqiu explained, "She has a fiancé, and her fiancé is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Gu Qianxue glanced at Zhou Rongqiu—yo, now I think of the prince, why didn't I think about this identity when I was desperately trying to match her and Su Lingxiao just now
Aunt Zhong snorted coldly, "What's the matter with the prince? When our Zhou family was kind to the founding emperor of the Nanyue Kingdom, let alone the prince, the prince and his grandma didn't even have a shadow. Besides, let's not talk about the founding emperor, just talk about the history of the Nanyue Kingdom. Emperor, which generation didn't ask our Zhou family? The current emperor has repeatedly sent people to invite the young master to become an official in the court, but our old couple blocked it. Let alone robbing the prince's fiancée, he just married a princess. The emperor's old son has to agree!"
Zhou Rongqiu shook his hands anxiously with a look of horror on his face, "It's not all about identity, it's... Today is the first time Miss Gu and I have met, and we have no relationship at all."
Gu Qianxue didn't want to refute or speak for Zhou Rongqiu at all, but just looked at him with a sneer.
This feeling can be described in one sentence—it’s not that I don’t want to report, the time has not yet come! How Zhou Rongqiu matched her and Su Lingxiao just now is about to be matched now.
But having said that, the Zhou family doesn't look like a family of genius doctors at all, but rather a family of matchmakers.
"Ah?" Aunt Zhong was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly she had another excuse, "The length of time we have known each other is not important, the first time I met my old man was in the bridal chamber, and it has been a lifetime, and we have given birth to three sons. "
"But... I don't like Miss Gu." Zhou Rongqiu had the word "sorrow" written all over his face.
Aunt Zhong was taken aback again, "Master, are you blind?"
"Not blind, eyes are very good." Zhou Rongqiu replied.
Aunt Zhong lowered her head and looked at Zhou Rongqiu's waist, "Could it be...Young Master, you have a problem?"
When Yulian and Yucui heard this, they immediately understood, Qiqi turned around, her face was as red as a lantern, she covered her face, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to get in.
Gu Qianxue was about to laugh out loud, relieved, so relieved!
