Chapter 297 Not an Outsider
The carriage at the back did not belong to the third prince's house, and I don't know which house it was invited to, or which house it was going to to announce the good news.
Such a large group of carriages and horses entering the village naturally attracted many villagers to watch. Even the village chief was alerted and came to inquire.
So many people suddenly came to the village, and as the village chief, he naturally wanted to know the reason.
When they met the current housekeeper Shu, they realized that the owner of the new house was here, a certain prince from Beijing.
Goodbye, the third prince came out in person to talk to the village chief. Only then did everyone realize that he was a certain nobleman who came to Gu Chao's house for some time last year.
The villagers never expected that they had already met and talked to the royal relatives.
It was only then that I realized that the emperor's relatives, Fengzi, Longsun, were actually so approachable and did not look down on ordinary people like them.
Not only that, the wages given to them by the Third Prince were high, allowing them to live a good year, and with the following six months, the wages they earned were equal to what they had earned in the previous year.
In the eyes of the villagers of Gujiacun, this third prince is their nobleman.
This is where the Third Prince is smart. Before people come to live there, he must first leave a good impression on the villagers.
Hehe, things between her and Liu Lan will definitely go much smoother in the future.
As the saying goes, those who eat people are soft-mouthed and their hands are short, so what can they say that is so unpleasant?
These were all things the Third Prince had considered long ago.
It's not like she didn't feel Liu Lan's attitude towards her changed drastically when she came to Gu's house last time. Once she returned to the village where everyone was familiar with her, he worried too much.
Fortunately, she thought of this in advance.
How could the people in the Gu family not know that the third prince entered the village with such great fanfare?
Gu Chao also went to sit next door in person, and invited the third prince, mother and daughter, to her home in the evening, saying that he wanted to cleanse them of their troubles.
As soon as she left the house, the matchmaker entered Gu's house.
Widow Gu had gone out with Wuchen a long time ago. Although he also saw a carriage belonging to someone's house in the village, this time he did not go to see the excitement. Instead, he hid behind the crowd, fearing that his companions would see it.
Therefore, he really hasn't been looked at by anyone.
When the third prince saw so many people in the village, he thought that Liu Lan must be there too. He was a lively person. How could he be missing in a place with many people?
In addition, Gu Chao also talked. Her father usually just chatted with the people in the village and went out every day if he had nothing to do.
So, she specifically searched for it in the crowd, but unfortunately she couldn't find it.
She didn't know that someone was deliberately hiding from her and didn't want her to find out.
Widow Gu was in the village, so he didn't know that guests were visiting his house.
The father-in-law and the wife had both gone out, so when guests came, Ning Su and Han Yu would naturally receive them.
This is not the first time that a matchmaker has come to the door. There are some who come for the wife and the father-in-law. I don’t know who it is for this time.
This time, the two of them didn't panic at all. The wife made it clear to them last night that the wife would not want anyone else.
Otherwise, the wife may not even be jealous, hahaha...
They didn't dare to say this to their wife, so they just kept it in their hearts and enjoyed it.
The two of them came to the front hall and saw an angry matchmaker sitting and drinking tea. He was not the one who was beaten out by his father-in-law last time, nor was he the one who was scolded by his father-in-law the year before.
Those two probably won't come back again. After all, no one would be shameless enough to come back after being treated like that by their father-in-law.
As soon as the matchmaker saw the host arriving, he immediately put down the tea cup in his hand and stood up, with his signature smile on his face and said, "I would like to pay my respects to you two gentlemen. You two gentlemen will be polite."
"Uncle, you are very polite. Please get up quickly and sit down to talk.
The wife's wife is not at home, so she asks her uncle not to blame him for neglect. "
"I wonder what your uncle is called? Why are you here?"
It's obvious why he came here, it's just to see who he proposes marriage to.
"You two gentlemen are polite and don't interfere with anything. I told you two gentlemen that this is the same.
My surname is Ji, you can just call me Matchmaker Ji.
I am here to say congratulations to these two noble gentlemen. Congratulations. "
After saying so much, they still didn't get to the point, but the two of them were not in a hurry and waited patiently for Matchmaker Ji's next words.
The matchmaker was used to seeing all kinds of people, so why didn't he know what the two Gu family members meant? He also sighed inwardly at how calm these two people were.
He didn't say who he was proposing to marry, but they were not in a hurry. Aren't they afraid that he was proposing to their wife's wife?
Or are they so confident that they know they are not here for Grandma Gu, or that they are not afraid.
Could it be that the Gu family is the one who calls the shots? Is it possible for Grandma Gu to listen to them?
Otherwise, how could they be so calm?
"I'm here this time because I have a happy event to congratulate your house.
The Qi family in the county next door to us invited me to propose marriage to your master. This Qi family is also a kind family and has a strong family background.
Besides, this grandma of the Qi family is now in the prime of life. Her husband passed away two years ago, leaving behind two children.
There is a daughter and a son, both of whom have grown up. They are about the same age as the grandma in your house. They are all married, so there is nothing to worry about.
The grandma of the Qi family said that as long as the master of your house gets married, the master of the house will make the decision, and they will live separately from Miss Qi, without any interference.
As for the betrothal gift, Gu Man can rest assured that the Qi family is also a sensible family, and everything will happen as it was the first time.
If the Gu family has any requests, just ask them. Grandma Qi has said that she will try her best to meet the Gu family's requirements. "
Mr. Ji Media explained everything clearly without any reservation. Was it also to let the Gu family see the sincerity of the Qi family?
After he finished speaking, he looked at the two of them, waiting for their reactions.
Although he held a tea cup in his hand, he could not drink tea with peace of mind.
He had also inquired before coming here. There was a man who came to the Gu family to propose marriage to Mr. Gu, but was beaten out by the Mr. Gu family.
Therefore, he was very worried, fearing that he would also be beaten out.
Not only was it embarrassing, but it also damaged his reputation, which would also have some impact on his future matchmaking.
If it weren't for the thank you gift given by the Qi family, and if this matchmaking was successful, it would be equivalent to a big step forward for him in the matchmaking industry.
Anyone who comes to him for matchmaking in the future will definitely be different.
Just this matchmaking business is enough for him to support a large family, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't open the business for a year or two.
Just now he heard the two gentlemen say that Mr. Gu was not here. In fact, he was secretly relieved. It seemed that he would not be beaten out today. Fortunately, he was lucky.
When the two of them heard that they were here to propose marriage to their father-in-law, they felt a little more relaxed, but they were confused for another reason.
Just now, the third prince had arrived. If the third prince knew that a matchmaker came to propose marriage to his father-in-law, I don’t know what his reaction would be.
I don’t know if the grandma of the Qi family will be wearing small shoes or something else.
After all, the person I have been staring at for so long, and I still managed to get started, is now being taken care of by others. This is unacceptable to anyone, right?
The two of them looked at each other and then said: "It's unlucky for Matchmaker Ji to come today, as my wife and father-in-law are not at home.
We, as the younger generation, cannot make the final decision regarding the elders’ affairs. We have to wait until the wife and father-in-law come back.
If Mr. Ji is not in a hurry, how about waiting for a while and asking someone to invite the wife back? "
The wife's wife is next door, and that person is also there, but I can ask Manager Xu to say it, just to see that person's reaction.
"This is a good relationship. I have only one thing to do today, so I have a lot of time.
I bothered Zhengjun to go out with someone, so I shamelessly bothered you in your house for a while. "
It seems that there is a way to do this, otherwise the two masters would have refused directly, without saying anything about asking Grandma Gu to come back.
Now that she had agreed, Ning Su called Manager Xu and asked her to personally go to the third prince's house next door to ask the wife to come back.
As for whether the wife will tell the Third Prince when the time comes, it is up to the wife to decide.
They felt that the wife would not hide it from the third prince, because they could see that the wife actually had a supportive attitude towards the third prince and the father-in-law.
It has been half a year since the third prince returned to the capital. In the past six months, the things sent to his home from the capital have never been broken, and they all see it.
Although I didn’t say it, I knew it in my heart.
Manager Xu was waiting outside, and she heard everything said outside.
As soon as Zhengjun gave the order, Manager Xu quickly went to the third prince's house.
Gu Chaozheng was talking to the third prince. When he saw his steward coming, he knew something must be wrong. Otherwise, why would she come to look for her just after she came out?
Although Manager Xu also saw some of the thoughts of the third prince towards her master, the masters did not say it explicitly, so even if she knew, she could only keep it in her heart.
Therefore, now in front of the third prince, she was a little hesitant to say it directly.
But then I thought, since Zhengjun asked her to come here to spread this message, there should be no need to avoid the third prince.
After thinking about this, Manager Xu quickly took two steps forward and saluted the Third Prince.
"This slave has met the Third Prince. He is very lucky."
"Guanshi Xu" use more courtesy and get up.
Is there something wrong with Manager Xu? "
The third prince was more patient and tolerant towards the Gu family.
After all, in her opinion, her family is a family sooner or later, and it must be different from outsiders.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I really have something to do when I come here.
A guest came to the house. He was a matchmaker from the next county, who came to propose marriage to the master of the house.
In the absence of the master, the two gentlemen could not take charge, so they sent their servants to invite grandma back. "
Manager Xu said this very clearly. Sure enough, after saying this, the expression of the third prince changed immediately.
The expressions on his face kept changing, and he even looked at his grandma.
On the other hand, my grandma looked calm, and the expression on her face did not change. Moreover, when the third prince looked over, he looked back with a smile on his face and raised his eyebrows.
The third prince was anxious and wanted to go to Gu's house immediately to drive the matchmaker out.
Then tell him that Mr. Gu is hers and the one she likes, Zhao He.
Those other bullshit things are not what they should worry about if they don't come here to make decisions.
However, she was an outsider, and no matter how anxious she was, she couldn't go.
She also knew that if she really went today, Liu Lan would probably ignore her even more.
What happened between her and Liu Lan
, you have to do it slowly and calmly, don't be in a hurry.
So for this matter, we still have to count on Gu Chao, and we still have to see what Gu Chao's thoughts are.
Facing the third prince's eyes, Gu Chao fully understood what she wanted to say but didn't say.
Just as Ning Su and the others thought, Gu Chao had a good impression of the third prince, especially in the past six months, he had seen his thoughts and attitude towards his cheap father.
Gu Chao felt that the third prince's character was really suitable for his father.
And her feelings for her father were genuine, and Gu Chao also understood.
In the past, Gu Chao thought that if they were allowed to develop on their own, they would be together if they were destined.
But now, Gu Chao has the idea to help them and can match them up.
"Your Majesty, if something happens to Gu's family, I won't pay too much. I'll go back now.
I also asked the prince to come over with the prince in the evening. I won’t come here to invite you anymore, I will just come over by myself when the time comes.
Our family is not an outsider, so don’t talk to me. "
As soon as he heard what Gu Chao said, the third prince's originally worried heart immediately stopped.
Not an outsider, not a stranger, isn't this just what he said to her?
Gu Chao has made it so clear, what else doesn't she understand?
So the third prince immediately agreed, "Okay, you can go and do your work first. Things at home are important, so I won't keep you any longer.
Lin'er and I will definitely be there in the evening. There is no need for anyone to invite us. We will go by ourselves when the time comes. "
The third prince said these words quickly and softly, with a bright smile on his face.
"If you don't want to send it off, I'll go over first."
Gu Chao walked out while talking. The third prince was really not polite to her, nor did he say whether to see her off or not.
"Okay, go ahead and get busy."
Butler Xu followed his grandma with his head lowered, his eyes and nose looking at his heart, and he just walked his own way without looking too much.
Now, he was certain that his family would probably have more contact with the Third Prince in the future.
Didn't you hear what your grandma said?
There is also the change in the expression of the third prince just now. Is there anything unclear about this?
When he was approaching the door of his house, Gu Chao suddenly asked, "Does the master know about this?"
She also suddenly remembered the last time a matchmaker came to her door, and was afraid that her father would be as ruthless as last time and beat him out.
"In reply to grandma, Zhengjun only asked the old slave to come over to invite grandma, so the old slave didn't send anyone to invite the master back.
How about I ask the master to come back now? "
Gu Chao waved his hand, "No need."
It's better not to let him know about this for now, otherwise according to his bullshit character, he will definitely get angry again, scold people and kick them out.
Although the matchmaker has a purpose for coming to the door, he doesn't treat her like this. It's better not to do things like this.
