Chapter 8 love at first sight

Talking about Yichang Fengyue like this, I unknowingly arrived at Yiqingyuan.As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiangbang, aunt, and eldest sister gathered together, pointing and laughing in a low voice, as if they had encountered something mysterious and interesting, Hu Xueyan asked curiously: "What are you talking about?" "Master Hu, there is a guest inside, and he had a very intimate conversation with the second lady." "Guests!" Hu Xueyan was surprised, "Only official guests live in the hall, where do you come from?" He stood still as he said that, because even though there were no "curtains" in the hall, it was inconvenient to intrude.

"It doesn't matter! Mr. Hu, please go in and have a look, then you will know." Gu Yingchun was more curious than Hu Xueyan, when he heard the word "it doesn't matter", he walked in first, only to feel a bright light in front of his eyes, that guest was like a snow-capped mountain, making it hard to look at. This plump, white, radiant young woman is none other than Grandma Qigu.Seeing the strange man barging in, tall as a crane, full of heroic vigor, I didn't realize that my heart moved, my romantic partner for five hundred years, just met in a place where we shouldn't have met.

Partly because they didn’t know how to greet, and partly because they were dazzled and confused, just when they were stunned and speechless, and Yiqing’s second child also felt embarrassed, Hu Xueyan followed in, and was very surprised when he saw it: "Hey, Seventh Sister! It's you. " If someone speaks up, things will be easy to handle. Grandma Qigu always speaks in a rough voice, which is unbearable. At this time, I don't know if she was infected by the soft language of Wu Nong, Yiqing's second child, or because of Gu Yingchun, who was born at first sight. The strange male guest he likes is here, and he has scruples in his heart, so he actually shouted in a gentle manner: "Uncle, you didn't expect me to be here, did you?"

Unexpectedly, Hu Xueyan thought to himself, I have heard about brothers going out together, but it is big news.Then he nodded and said, "Which guest is it? I never thought it was you." "Please sit down, please sit down!" Yiqing's second child saw Gu Yingchun and Qigu's grandma looking at each other secretly, and then said, "Master Hu, come and introduce me!" So Hu Xueyan introduced Gu Yingchun and Qigu's grandma. With a smile on her face, she put her hands on her left waist, gave her a blessing, and clasped her fists together and said, "So it's Seventh Sister! A true husband and wife will not let anyone down."

Grandma Qigu understood what he said. Although it was a compliment, there was also a sense of surprise. Thinking about a woman from a good family who went to prostitutes alone, it was a bit unruly to say, so she was very shy and blushed. The face responded with a smile.Her smile is the sweetest, although it is an embarrassing smile, it is still charming.Gu Yingchun was thinking in his heart: I never expected that You Wu would have such a beautiful younger sister! When Yiqing's second child greeted her and sat down, Hu Xueyan naturally wanted to ask why she was here, and Grandma Qigu told her frankly that because You Wuyi had never returned home, and she still had a lot to ask him before returning to Songjiang, she was anxious, so she came to the door Come.

"You came alone?" "That's right!" Grandma Qigu smiled mischievously and triumphantly, "My sister didn't allow me to come, and Aaron refused to lead the way, so I had to slip out with an excuse and hire a sedan chair to come here. I have never met five Brother, we had a good talk with Second Miss." "Ah! Grandma Qigu," Yiqing's second child smiled uneasily, "I really don't dare to call you like that, just call me second child." "Or Xiao Wusao." Hu Xueyan asked jokingly, "Then, what about people?" This refers to You Wu, and Yiqing's second child replied: "A friend has an appointment. He said he will be back at eight o'clock, please wait for him, Mr. Hu and Gu Gu."

"Of course we have to wait." Hu Xueyan asked Grandma Qigu, "You haven't eaten yet, should we go to a restaurant or just eat here?" "Of course we eat here." Yiqing's second child hastily said, "I'll treat Grandma Qigu to a light meal, and you two will be my companions." "Due to accompany." Gu Yingchun agreed, what else can Hu Xueyan say?Grandma Qigu was an outsider, she beckoned him aside, and asked quietly: "Uncle, I don't understand the rules here. Look, should I eat this meal?" "It's all here, what rules are there?"

Grandma Qigu blushed, "There were no such rules in the first place, I dared to run amok. I'm afraid it will make people laugh!" Said, Qiao Lingling glanced over. Hu Xueyan followed her gaze and suddenly realized, no wonder "female Zhang Fei" is so refined!At that time, there was only one thought, to be beautiful as an adult.So he said softly: "Seventh sister, please come here, I have something to say." The "big room" in the Yiqing Courtyard was very large, separated from the west by a "treasure tree". He led her inside and sat down on the mahogany chair under the window. Baomai, I saw that Gu Yingchun and Yiqing's second child were also talking about working hard, so they wouldn't pay attention to their conversation, so Hu Xueyan spoke out to persuade them.

"Seventh sister," he said in a very earnest voice like a brother and sister, "if you don't speak up, you are respecting Guanyin. If you speak up, to be honest, others will eat you up! Today is a rare day, and I saved face for Fifth Brother. Turn back If you do it yourself, people won’t laugh at you.” On weekdays, Grandma Qigu would definitely be disobedient to his words, but now she nodded with an embarrassed smile and said, "I see. Is that the sentence?" "That's the sentence." Hu Xueyan said, "You are Linglong Qiqiao, you know what you want, why do you need me to say more?"

There was an implication in these words, Grandma Qigu wanted to ask something more, but she was too embarrassed to say it, she just smiled charmingly and thanked: "Thank you, little grandpa!" The two walked outside, and Yiqing's second child greeted her and said, "The old man's words are right, it's too noisy here, please come to my 'little house' to eat!" The place where the girl and the benefactor live together without worrying about human interference is called "Little House".Yiqing's second child's small house is at the end of this alley, and You Wu pays for it every month, but You Wu has many friends and it is more convenient to meet guests in Yiqing Courtyard, so it is difficult to get to the small house.Unexpectedly, it came in handy at this time.Hu Xueyan naturally agreed, and turned to Grandma Qigu and said, "That's where the second child lives, it's relatively quiet, let's go!"

So Yiqing's second child took care of her and helped her. Whenever there was a "bureau ticket", she only said that she was sick and couldn't go on "official missions". This reminded Grandma Qigu, she still called Hu Xueyan aside, and said quietly: "I slipped out. People who don't see me will get anxious." This refers to Ah Zhu and Chen Shilong, "That's easy!" He said, "Just ask someone to notify you." At that time, I wrote a note, saying that Grandma Qigu was with You Wu, and she would return by herself, so there was no need to worry.Hu Xueyan took out a silver coin as money, called the helper of Yiqingyuan, and immediately handed it over to Chen Shilong. After finishing all this, we walked to the small house of Yiqing's second child. It was a Shikumen house with the first floor and the ground floor. The downstairs was another house. She lived upstairs. It was well-decorated and looked very comfortable. place. Just after sitting down, the food and drinks made by myself in Yiqing Courtyard have been delivered.Both Yiqing's second child and Gu Yingchun wanted to push Grandma Qigu to take the seat, but she would definitely not, and it turned out that Gu Yingchun took the first place, she and Hu Xueyan were opposite each other, and the host took the last place, each occupying one side. The hospitality is red wine, foreign wine sent by Gu Yingchun.It is said that it nourishes blood, and even the palace often drinks it.Yiqing's second child regards it as very precious and persuades her earnestly.Grandma Qigu's drinking capacity is not bad, but she only remembers Hu Xueyan's advice, and insists on not drinking or talking too much.At the banquet, only Gu Yingchun was talking about Hu Xueyan's visit to a foreign tavern, Qigu's grandma and Yiqing's second child just laughed. Gu Yingchun was in a good mood that day, talking and laughing happily, talking non-stop, until You Wu appeared, the conversation was interrupted. When brothers and sisters meet each other, they all have unnatural expressions. You Wu's displeasure can be imagined, but Hu Xueyan is a little surprised by Grandma Qigu's slight fear. In his impression, Grandma Qigu acts willfully and never knows What is fear.Usually, You Wu is a little afraid of her, why is she afraid of You Wu now? That's why Gu Yingchun was here.Hu Xueyan quickly figured it out, she was afraid that her brother would scold her a few words, and she would not be able to step down in front of Gu Yingchun.That being the case, he should be careful to protect her. Therefore, he first explained to her why he had to come.Then he talked about the meeting with Hudson, which made You Wu forget about his displeasure with Grandma Qigu. From then on, there was no time to talk and joke. There were many business matters to be discussed, and there were many threads. If one thing was not done well, the second one was involved.It was not yet arranged until midnight. "What should I do? I have to go back to Hangzhou early." Hu Xueyan was a little anxious, "I always feel that there are not enough people, and now I feel that I can't be manipulated." Grandma Qigu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke up: "There's nothing you can't do! Uncle, you can leave tomorrow. If there is no one to see you off on the way, I will see you off. I will guarantee you to Jiaxing, and then I will go back to Songjiang." "That's a way!" You Wu nodded, "Fortunately, Ah Qi knew each other well along the way. That's it! When you arrive in Hangzhou, quickly send Shilong to Songjiang to pick up foreign guns." The conversation between their siblings made Gu Yingchun very surprised, "It turns out that Seventh Sister is so capable!" He felt ashamed and worried about her, "This road is very difficult these days, so be careful !" "Thank you!" She responded with a reserved smile, "It's okay." "It really doesn't matter!" By this time, You Wu finally found a chance to say something to her, "Our aunt is used to running around alone." "It's not like trespassing." Grandma Qigu felt that she had to argue, "I dare to go where I'm sure, and I don't dare to trespass where I can't figure out the way. Like here, I know it's okay." "That's right!" Yiqing's second child said, "If you don't mind, please come here often, this place is like your own home." "Did you hear that, fifth brother!" Grandma Qigu said proudly, "It's just like my own home!" "Only one thing," Gu Yingchun also jokingly said, "Go back and hide it from Fifth Sister-in-law." "It's not a problem. My fifth sister-in-law is the most virtuous, so I don't care about his account." "Okay, okay!" You Wu looked at the clock and said, "It's time to go." So Gu Yingchun left first, but quietly gave Hu Xueyan a hand.Knowing that he had something to say, he followed Gu Yingchun downstairs and went out, stood firm and said with a smile: "You want to ask me about someone?" "Huh!" Gu Yingchun was surprised, "How do you know?" "Don't worry about it! Tell me, but you want to ask Grandma Qigu?" "Yes." Gu Yingchun said, "I heard from my second child that she seems to have been a widow for many years. Is there such a thing?" "Yes. But it's not many years." "Can you hold on?" This refers to why Grandma Qigu kept the festival. Hu Xueyan thought his question was funny and it was difficult to answer, so he answered half-jokingly: "Why don't you ask her yourself?" Gu Yingchun also realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he had no choice but to smile wryly.At this time, seeing the fifth brother and sister You and Yiqing's second child had already come downstairs, Gu Yingchun thought to himself, Hu Xueyan will be leaving tomorrow, and it will be a long time since he left, and he has something on his mind that he must follow He couldn't discuss it, so he said to You Wu: "Fifth brother, please go first. Hu Xueyan and I still have something to discuss." Before You Wu could speak, Yiqing's second child said, "Why don't you come to my place and talk?" This is Hu Xueyan's vigilance. Before Gu Yingchun could open his mouth, he started talking: "I really have some personal matters to ask Brother Yingchun, let's talk about it here. Please come over first, we will be there soon." "Then, come quickly." Yiqing's second child said, "I'll wait for you to come and have a midnight snack." When they were far away, Hu Xueyan asked, "Brother Ying Chun, should we talk here or sit somewhere? I think what you want to talk about cannot be explained clearly in a few words." "You probably guessed it." Gu Yingchun said, "Grandma Qigu's appearance and demeanor are very good for me. I entrust you to be a matchmaker." Hu Xueyan didn't expect him to say it so straight to the point, but he couldn't answer for a while, and stood there in silence for a long time. "How is it?" Gu Yingchun asked with concern, "Is there any difficulty?" "I don't know if there are any difficulties." Hu Xueyan said, "You always tell me about your situation first." "Yes, yes! This is my negligence." Gu Yingchun talked about his family, his parents were both in Guangdong, and they were married, but his wife had passed away, and he had a daughter, sixteen years old, living with her grandparents in the village, that's all. "That's good, it's nothing trivial." Hu Xueyan said, "Grandma Qigu only returned to her mother's house because she didn't get along with her mother-in-law. According to the situation in your family, if she doesn't go back to Guangdong, she probably wants to." "Then—" Gu Yingchun hesitated instead, "It's impossible not to go back to Guangdong. No matter what, I have to go back and see my father and mother." "That's natural. I mean that you won't go back to live in the countryside of Guangdong, and you and your wife will set up your own family in Shanghai. This is all for the future." Hu Xueyan said in a deep voice, "It seems that Grandma Qigu is quite satisfied with you. However, I There is something that must be said first.” "Yes, yes. Say it! I always try to do it." "It's not asking you to 'do it'! It's asking you to be patient. Do you know that Grandma Qigu has a nickname, 'Female Zhang Fei'!" "Does that mean she has a bad temper?" Gu Yingchun shook her head, "I don't think she looks like a 'female Zhang Fei'!" Half of this is "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", and the other half is Qigu's grandma deliberately restraining herself. It seems like a good thing, but I would rather speak more deeply first and persuade him to be cautious. "Brother Ying Chun," he said, "it's too young to know each other very well. Fortunately, we will meet each other in the future. Why don't you take a look and talk about it?" According to the tone of voice, Grandma Qigu has shortcomings that are inconvenient to explain. Of course, it is best to see for yourself.But Gu Yingchun had been widowed for ten years, and suddenly his heart was moved, like the waves of an ancient well, his heart was turbulent, and he was eager to ask for clarification, so he said next: "Look at it, listen to it! Tell me more some." Hu Xueyan didn't know what to tell him.He had seen and heard a lot about Grandma Qigu's situation, but he couldn't just say good things, let alone bad things.If it is an ordinary woman with decent looks, he will definitely say good things and make good things happen, because it can be concluded that she will never become a bitter spouse.But Grandma Qigu is different, she has a heavy responsibility to be a matchmaker, it seems that a word can make a country prosperous or ruin a country, anyone who can stand her temper must be a good wife, otherwise, the relationship will be very bad, and the matchmaker will be scolded For a lifetime, how can I be at ease? "To tell you the truth, you all fell in love at first sight. You can't hide it from me. I don't need you to tell me. I already want to be a matchmaker. Brother Ying Chun," Hu Xueyan said very earnestly, "You know me, I have always been in a hurry. But this matter, there is really no rush! Why? Grandma Qigu has advantages that others don’t have, and her ridiculous temper is also something that others don’t have, so if you want me to say it, I really don’t like it. I want you See for yourself, anyway, I will definitely help you and be your counselor. Let me give you another message, Grandma Qigu will keep her wish or not, her brother and sister-in-law can't be her masters, and now she seems to like you too Then please rest assured that good things will happen sooner or later." These words are a reassurance to Gu Yingchun, and they have inspired a lot. Generally speaking, Grandma Qigu is a woman with a strong personality, and she dares to deal with things.For a person with such a strong personality, it depends on whether he can control her. If he can control her, the hardened steel will turn into soft fingers, and he will still have the joy of thrushes in the boudoir; Prisoner under the skirt. "Thank you, thank you! Just a few words from you have benefited me a lot. Let's go!" The two of them went back to Yiqing Courtyard together, only to see Grandma Qigu and Yiqing's second child sitting by the bed, whispering softly, as affectionate as sisters.You Wu was obviously relieved by this, and sat aside with a smile on his face, appearing very peaceful. "Here we come, here we come!" He stood up, excitedly, "Someone gave me a basket of crabs, I just forgot to take it there to eat, try it!" So Yiqing's second child hurriedly stood up to say hello, Grandma Qigu also wanted to help, the host must not allow her to do anything, this is the hall, Grandma Qigu is a guest, and she became the host by helping out, that's outrageous, but She couldn't think of this, and in the end it was Hu Xueyan who gave her a wink, which made her feel better. This made Gu Yingchun get a deep impression again, he felt that she was just enthusiastic about everything, so she seemed a little reckless.Fortunately, she is also willing to listen to people's teachings, and she is definitely not the kind of unreasonable shrew who refuses to admit her mistakes.This is not scary anymore. After setting the table, the aunt brought out two steaming plates of Yangcheng Lake crabs steamed with perilla. This is the most famous thing in the world in the writings of literati, and Yangcheng Lake is especially famous.The characteristic is "golden hair and purple back", usually eight taels per crab, two per catty, so it is called "pair crab".Grandma Qigu is addicted to crabs like her life, but at this time she is very gentle, she first picks out a navel and sends it to You Wu. "Respect the guests first!" You Wu was like an older brother teaching younger siblings. There were two guests, and in terms of politeness, it should be Gu Yingchun. Unknowingly, Grandma Qigu was a little anxious, so she brought the crab to Hu Xueyan. "Seventh Sister, we're on our own. I'll do it myself!" Hu Xueyan was a little nervous, not only was her words so crowded that she had to give the crab to Gu Yingchun, but she also pushed her hands to thank him. "Then you come!" Grandma Qigu was forced to the point where her "momentum" came, she said to Gu Yingchun openly, and pushed a small bowl of ginger vinegar in front of him. "Thank you!" Gu Yingchun said with a smile, while taking a deep look at her. Grandma Qigu pretended not to see her, and only held a crab in her hand. Seeing that Hu Xueyan had already done it herself, she held it in front of her brother, then took one herself, and at the same time turned to look at Yiqing's second child. Yiqing's second child just brought out a pair of crab eaters, made of sterling silver, with small pliers and a small hammer, it looks very delicate.Grandma Qigu thought it was fun, so she took a small hammer and hit the crab claws with one blow.She felt that she hadn't used any force, but the crab sting had been smashed to pieces, and it was a mess. Everyone laughed, and Grandma Qigu also laughed, "I don't use this thing." She said, "It's better to use your hands." Her hand seems to have been born for peeling crabs, and her technique is extraordinary. With the help of a tooth chopsticks, she ate up a crab in a short time, including the crab claws, crab legs and the "cover". Putting it together, it still looks like a crab. "This really needs some skill." Gu Yingchun was quite surprised, "It's the first time I've seen it!" Gu Yingchun, a Cantonese, naturally does not eat crabs like those in Su, Xi, Jia, and Hu areas. The people who come out of the crabs are expert, don't distinguish between the outside and the inside, chew nonchalantly, and spit out a table of dregs. Grandma Qigu has a straight temper. If he didn't go over, he joked, "You really are Zhu Bajie who eats ginseng fruit. Watch me!" She took a crab, still using only one chopstick, quickly peeled off a cover of crab meat, yellow and white mixed, poured ginger vinegar, but instead of enjoying it herself, she pushed it in front of Gu Yingchun. Gu Yingchun was really flattered by this, but he also knew whether it was appropriate to show his feelings, so he just said twice in succession: "Thank you, thank you!" Coincidentally, Yiqing's second child also used small pliers and a small hammer to beat, beat, and peeled with his mouth and hands. He also made a cover of crab meat and gave it to You Wu.So Hu Xueyan smiled and said: "You all have someone to do it for you, but I don't have this blessing!" Gu Yingchun knew that he was teasing Grandma Qigu, and was afraid that she would not be able to get off her face, and deliberately took the matter of "beautiful beauty" as nothing, so he pushed the crab cover over and said, "Come here, come here!" "Are you willing?" Hu Xueyan grasped the topic and wanted to joke more and more. It is difficult to answer this question. If you want to say "willing", you will immediately provoke Grandma Qigu to scold in her heart: no conscience!After thinking about it for a while, he replied: "Of course I don't want to part with others, but your brother is another matter." "Thank you so much. However, I'm afraid that if you are willing to part with it, others will not." Hu Xueyan said, "He has worked so hard to peel the food for you to eat, and if I eat it, it will definitely hurt my heart!" Before the words were finished, Grandma Qigu became anxious, "Uncle!" She covered up her embarrassment with a smile, "Punishment! Your words are really irritating." "Yes!" Yiqing's second child chimed in and calmed her down, "Master Hu has bones in his words, he should be punished with alcohol." "Okay, okay!" Hu Xueyan was originally testing for Gu Yingchun, seeing that Qigu's grandma was embarrassed but not angry, she felt that the result of the testing was quite satisfactory, so she happily drank the cup and drank it down. You Wu, who had been sitting there silently, realized at this moment that he wanted to be an older brother. He felt that Qi Gu's grandma was a bit unrestrained, and he felt uncomfortable.Hu Xueyan judged by his appearance and saw that the wind direction was not right, so he diverted the topic away with great interest, and at the same time refused to linger any longer, so he found an opportunity and suggested that the banquet be dismissed. It was nearly midnight, but the alley where the Yiqing Courtyard was located was still very lively, with vendors selling cooked food coming and going, shouting non-stop.There are many small sedan chairs parked in the alley, with tasseled sedan chair curtains and small glass windows, which are very delicate, and they specialize in the business of looking for tired guests late at night. Only this day is carrying a guest—Grandma Qigu. Back at Yuji Silk Inn, she was the first to get out of the sedan chair, and went straight back. As soon as she got up the stairs, she opened her throat and shouted: "Sister Zhang, are you asleep?" Ah Zhu hadn't gone to bed yet, first she was worried about Grandma Qigu and wanted to wait for her, and later she had snacks and chatted with Chen Shilong, and the conversation became so lively that she forgot about the person waiting for her.At this time, Fang Shi was startled when he heard the shout downstairs, and quickly got up to greet him. The two met at the top of the stairs, and saw Qigu's grandma's cheeks glowing like rosy clouds, her eyes glowing like spring, and she asked loudly, "Where are you? You came back so drunk from eating?" "Look, I brought you something good to eat!" Grandma Qigu handed over a thin bamboo basket. At this time, Hu Xueyan and You Wu had also gone upstairs, together with Aaron and Lao Zhang who got up after hearing the sound, the room was packed, but only Grandma Qigu was heard, talking about spending time in the Yiqing Courtyard The passage of the night. It was an unheard of miracle among Lao Zhang's father and daughter, and even Chen Shilong felt that this Qigu grandma was astonishingly bold. "You eat it!" Finally she lifted the lid of the basket, and there were six Yangcheng Lake crabs inside.She is very thoughtful, even the ginger vinegar is ready-made. One thing is irresistible, and the crab is really attractive. Lao Zhang, his daughter and Chen Shilong peeled the crab while listening to Grandma Qigu talk about the scenery of Yiqingyuan.But You Wu winked at Hu Xueyan, and the two hid inside to have a heart-to-heart talk. "Uncle," You Wu frowned and said, "You see, my girl is getting worse and worse, what's wrong?" "Don't say that!" Hu Xueyan replied with a smile, "Fifth Brother, I want to drink some wedding wine. You know what Old Gu said to me? He wants to ask me to be a matchmaker!" You Wu was very surprised, he was stunned for a while before asking: "Do you want to marry us Ah Qi?" "Yes! This is called love at first sight. Marriage, marriage, really is fate." "What fate?" You Wu's brows frowned even deeper, "Speaking of meeting each other in the hall, how ugly that is!" This answer was beyond Hu Xueyan's expectation, and he didn't know how to explain it to him and Grandma Qigu.I stood there in a daze, unable to make a sound for a long time. "I don't understand. How does Old Gu know that Ah Qi is living in her mother's house at the moment?" You Wu asked again, "Does he think Ah Qi or the young lady?" "No! He knows about Seventh Sister's widow. It was the second child who told him, no! It was he who inquired about it with the second child." Then, Hu Xueyan described the situation at Gu Yingchun's family. "So, little grandfather, how did you answer him?" "I said, let him see for himself. I see——they are destined, and this glass of wedding wine was a success." You Wu disapproved, and shook his head: "Forget it, I don't think it will hurt anyone!" "You don't have to belittle our aunt too much!" Hu Xueyan said in an unfair tone, "For a talent like her, marrying Lao Gu is still aggrieved in my opinion. As for her bad temper, that's okay." Having said that, a woman's mind is the strangest, as long as she is willing, she will naturally change. Looking at the way she looks today, she is gentle and generous, so it can be seen that she is already changing!" Although the words are beautiful, there is no conclusion. In fact, it is impossible to have any conclusions on the important matter of marriage. We can only talk about it and take care of the departure the next day. Disembarkation was at noon, Hu Xueyan's "junior brother", Lao Zhang's father and daughter, and Qigu's grandma, a total of five people, except for Lao Zhang, each had something on their minds that they could only talk to each other in secret and not publicly reveal. Be careful, even a talkative person like Grandma Qigu usually keeps silent. The next day is coming to Songjiang, Hu Xueyan should make a decision, should Grandma Qigu be sent to Jiaxing?If you don't think it's necessary, leave her in Songjiang, sail away, anchor for half a day at most, and load the luggage that he and A Zhu left at You's house on board, otherwise, you have to stop in Songjiang for at least one day, and let Grandma Qigu inquire about the news first. , Or take someone who can run around with you. "Uncle!" As soon as Hu Xueyan mentioned it, Qigu's grandmother rushed to say, "Whether I send you or not, stay with us for a day before leaving." "Hangzhou is very anxious to wait." "If you're not in a hurry, one day, my fifth sister-in-law has something to tell you." This is strange, what will Mrs. You Wu say?There is something to say, how could grandma Qigu know?Whenever encountering difficulties, Hu Xueyan always thinks through the front and back, and asks questions when he can't figure it out. He has a very quick mind, he can discern words and feelings, and he thinks there is only one possibility, "Seventh Sister," he asked, "Do you have something to say yourself, so you want to ask Fifth Sister-in-law to ask me?" Grandma Qigu smiled, a little naughty and a little coy, "Uncle," she said, "you are very smart." "In that case, why don't you just tell me?" "Let's wait for Fifth Sister-in-Law to ask you." These words seem to be about You Wu and his wife, Hu Xueyan is a little confused, think about it carefully, could it be about Yiqing's second child?Maybe Qigu's grandma was busy and wanted to "inform" her sister-in-law, so Mrs. You would have something to ask.Or Grandma Qigu was kind enough to hit it off with Yiqing's second child, and she made a speech in front of her sister-in-law, persuading her to take a concubine for her husband, so Fifth Sister-in-law You would have something to ask. The same is asking, there is something to say, and there is something not to say.What kind of question is it?You have to figure out the direction first, so that you won't be embarrassed when things happen.So he asked: "Seventh Sister, do you know if Fifth Sister-in-law wants to ask me, is it a good thing or something?" "Nature is a good thing." Now Hu Xueyan felt relieved.The boat arrived at Songjiang, went ashore to You's house, and had a rest.He took advantage of the time to visit the "grandfather", had dinner with him, and then went to You's house. After talking about three or five words, Mrs. You got up and said, "Uncle, I have something to ask you." Hu Xueyan was asked to be a matchmaker, but it was not for Youwu to marry Yiqing's second child, but to facilitate a good relationship for Grandma Qigu.Mrs. You Wu told him that when he was talking about Gu Yingchun with You Wumi at Yujisi Inn, Grandma Qigu was quietly "listening to the wall" in the outhouse while Lao Zhang's father and daughter and Chen Shilong were eating crabs vigorously. She already knew what Yingchun meant, and she said that she would not marry unless she was Gu Yingchun.Because You Wu seemed to disapprove of this marriage, so I came here to talk to my sister-in-law. After hearing the story, Hu Xueyan laughed.Laughing that I misunderstood Grandma Qigu's tone and was fooled by myself. If I was doing a business with someone with a huge discrepancy, if I was like this, I was guessing and self-righteous, then I would suffer a lot. "Uncle," You Wusao asked, "How did Ah Qi know that surnamed Gu? It seems like we met for the first time. Where is it?" This question is not easy to answer, especially for her.It is true that as You Wu said, meeting in the hall, it is difficult to say this.Ask further: How did she run to such a place?That would involve Yiqing's second child.For a person like You Wu who walks in Huajie and Liuxiang, Wusao You will naturally not interfere, but if it is said that the benefactor of Yiqing's second child has built a "small house" outside, it is difficult to guarantee that Mrs. You will not be jealous. So he said: "In Yuji Silk Store. Lao Gu is now partnering with five brothers and me. This marriage is a logical thing to say. If Lang is interested in sister, what else can I say? As for matchmaking , not only is it obligatory, but the so-called none other than me. However, Fifth Sister-in-law, we have such an idea, let’s see it, right!" "Your words are not wrong, little grandpa, you say." "We in Hangzhou say that the matchmaker 'eats thirteen and a half chickens', which means that the matchmaker must spread the word over and over again, and things are extremely slow. Other marriages are too slow, but this one is too fast. I think it's better to slow down." "I understand what little grandpa means, but I'm afraid that it will be too fast, and we won't be able to see each other clearly, and we will regret it in the future?" "That's right, that's what it means." "The meaning is good. But, you know, our aunt is short-tempered." "It's up to you to persuade her." Hu Xueyan lowered her voice and said, "There's another level. From Seventh Sister's point of view, it seems that I'm a bit angry with Fifth Brother. You don't agree with it, but I want to marry him. Marriage is a big deal, anger It's not right." Wusao You thought for a while, then nodded deeply: "Uncle, your words are good. I didn't think of it." Hu Xueyan looked around and found out that Qigu's grandma was not "listening to the wall", so she said to Mrs. You Wu: "She is impatient, you can't follow her, the matter will be delayed, and we will discuss it after Brother Wu comes back. You just Let's put it this way, as a matchmaker, you have to follow the rules, and you have to go on a blind date first. This has dragged on for half a month." "I understand, I understand! I will find a way to procrastinate. However, let me ask my uncle one more question: What kind of person is that surnamed Gu?" "You'd better see for yourself." Hu Xueyan answered like this, not like a matchmaker, but he did have regrets.Grandma Qigu was too impatient and angry, and You Wu had another opinion, which vaguely made him feel that there would be disputes about this matter in the future.The enthusiasm suddenly cooled down. Because of this, he wanted to avoid Grandma Qigu, so he refused her kindness to send him to Jiaxing.The next day we got on a boat and sailed down the canal. Finally, the journey went smoothly and we entered Zhejiang Province in a calm manner. From now on, we will not be in any danger when we arrive in Hangzhou.
