Chapter 74: The Exposed (V)
These three girls, one is beautiful, one is strong, and one is virtuous. Each has her own advantages and strengths.
The daughter of the head of the village, the daughter of the butcher and the daughter of the scholar stood behind the matchmaker. They were all the best potential matchmakers in the village. However, this time they were all willing to put aside their pride, just because Master Gu Yue was so outstanding.
He was like a handsome man who had walked out of an ink painting, with eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, and a graceful figure like an orchid. Every detail of his body was so perfect that it was breathtaking... and he was also very well-read.
You know, in a remote and poor place, having money can make capable people live comfortably, but having knowledge can make people respected.
The status of scholars has always been respected in all dynasties. He is the only intellectual in Taohua Village and he has not yet married. Isn't he a popular figure that everyone is thinking about?
"My name is Gu Yue Jia Rong, nice to meet you ladies."
Gu Yuejia stood up and bowed.
The three women immediately straightened their postures and bowed in return.
"Master Gu Yue, there is no need to be polite. My name is Li Yue'e. My father has asked you for advice on many agricultural and sericulture problems, as well as household registration. Yue'e is grateful for your kindness and would like to thank you here."
She has long eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, her pretty oval face is blushed, and her eyes are half-closed shyly... If you like the simplicity and beauty of the country style, you can't go wrong by choosing her.
"Master, my daughter Funan, I was the one who bought the pig offal for you yesterday. As long as our marriage is successful, I will stew meat every day and keep you fat and plump. Oh, and our mother as well."
Funan had majestic features, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. She was taller than the average woman. If she wore men's clothes, she would have a kind of androgynous charm... She stared straight at Gu Yuejiarong with admiration and love in her eyes.
If you like a woman who can go out to the mountains to suppress bandits, settle down at home and keep the house safe, and who is honest and straightforward, you can't go wrong with her.
The last one was neither impatient nor anxious. She waited until everyone had introduced themselves before she made her grand entrance.
She has a delicate appearance, but is good at dressing up. She wears a long skirt that is as white as a lotus in a pond, her body is soft and gentle, and there is a faint fragrance in the air. She is heading towards that station. Although she is not extremely beautiful, she has a kind of "I bloom and all other flowers die".
She smiled and said, "Master Gu Yue, I am your daughter Shan Shan. I have just met you, but I admire you a lot. I am also your soulmate. I wish to be the southwest wind and live in your arms forever."
What is she saying?!
Except for Funan, who had never been to school and was completely confused, everyone else understood what Shanshan meant.
After being introduced as a "well-educated and well-mannered" scholar, he expressed his feelings to Gu Yue Jiarong with such passionate emotions when they met for the first time, which undoubtedly cut off his retreat route.
She was "surrendering" to him, and she would be hanging on this tree for the rest of her life.
Sure enough, ordinary greetings and harmless promises are no match for a powerful blow.
Gu Yuejia Rong was stunned for a moment before she said in a gentle voice, "Miss Shanshan has great literary talent, but her intention is a little off. Poems that are too radical always lack some artistic conception."
His words were euphemistic. He was apparently talking about poetry, but in reality he was saying that she was too radical.
Not to mention, Gu Yue Jiarong is the legendary slow-tempered person, because what he pursues is "feeling", and falling in love at first sight will never happen to him, so he cannot accept the confession of a bold suitor right away.
Shanshan obviously didn't expect this kind of reaction from him. She thought that even if a man in the world didn't like a woman, he would treat her differently if he knew that she secretly admired him and that the woman was good-looking, knowledgeable and had a good family background.
But obviously, Gu Yuejiarong didn't buy it.
"Master, now that the three girls have introduced themselves, what do you think?" the matchmaker asked him with a smile. Gu Yue Jia Rong said, "All three girls are excellent candidates, but Jia Rong is the only one, so I hope that matchmaker Wang can allow me to think about it more carefully."
The matchmaker didn't want to let this lucrative business go to waste, so she stepped up her pace and tried her best to promote Gu Yue Jiarong: "In fact, if you are choosing a wife not for love but for attraction, then you can temporarily treat her as a companion and support each other all the way in the future. Naturally, you should choose someone who is determined and will never betray you."
These words didn't sound like they were referring to anyone in particular, but if you think about it carefully, the matchmaker obviously felt that the third Shanshan was more suitable for Gu Yue Jiarong.
Gu Yuejiarong thought for a while and said, "This makes sense, but in addition to supporting each other, we also need to be in harmony with each other..."
He had never thought about this before, but now he was forced to get married, and the situation was urgent, so he had to think hard about what kind of partner he needed for his future.
Matchmaker Wang didn't mind sorting things out for him: "Of course that's the case. Then why don't you ask a question and see who can relate to you?"
"Ask a question?" He thought about it and thought this was also an idea: "Okay."
"please."
Matchmaker Wang stepped aside and let Gu Yue Jiarong have a good conversation with the three girls. Although other people on blind dates talked about their interests and hobbies, family matters, and imagined their future married life, he wanted to find the strange "feeling" of stepping into the grave of marriage.
Gu Yuejia lived in a simple and plain room, with a breeze blowing through the eaves and the bright moon shining under the pines. He was like a bright pearl, with a natural, innocent and righteous aura.
"May I ask the three ladies, if Jia Rong is impotent, would you dare to marry her?"
Silence, deathly silence.
He never stops talking and never stops saying shocking things. I never thought he would be such a teacher!
Matchmaker Wang had been through many battles, so she was not affected much. She smiled and reminded, "Three girls, please answer."
Li Yue'e held her face in shame and stammered, "I, I don't mind. Master, whatever you say, Yue'e agrees."
Funan was also a little embarrassed. She hesitated and said, "If it is a disease, even if I spend all my family wealth, I am willing to take you to find a doctor and medicine."
Shan Shan asked curiously, "Why is that...but Master looks so vigorous, as if he had given birth to three babies. I don't believe it...unless we try it after we get married."
Gu Yue Jia Rong remained calm in the face of such a bold statement: "I'm afraid that Miss Shan Shan is talking about someone else. Jia Rong has been weak for more than 20 years and has never had anything to do with the sayings of dragons and tigers."
cough--
Matchmaker Wang was getting a little impatient. She had seen people who were modest, but this was the first time she saw someone who belittled himself. First he called himself "impotent" and then "weak and timid". Did he want to weld himself onto the "roll of shame"?
"Master Gu Yue, which of these three girls' answers do you like the most?" She asked, and then pretended to sigh: "I'm not rushing you, but you can wait, I can wait, but your mother..."
Honestly, it doesn't matter which of the three you choose.
Faced with such fierce questions, they not only did not get angry, but one stayed with the other, one gave her all, and one cunningly turned the tables.
Not to mention the men, even she, a matchmaker, felt that it was full of sincerity and genuineness.
However, after careful consideration, Gu Yue Jiarong turned his head and his gaze fell on a person like a gentle breeze: "If you have to choose one person, then... Matchmaker Wang."
