Chapter 1108: Secretly cleaning up
Qin Sanlang saw Gu Jinli grabbing his collar and pulling him down. His eyes lit up when he knew that she was going to kiss him. He was waiting happily. When he heard this, his face sank and he quit. He quickly lowered his head and kissed Gu Jinli.
"Well..." Gu Jinli was caught off guard and found it a little funny. He hurriedly pushed him and urged: "Hurry up, otherwise the matchmaker and the others are coming."
The rules of Da Chu are that the day before the engagement, the girls family must wait in the house until the engagement ceremony is completed before leaving the house.
The matchmaker is a well-known matchmaker, and those who work as matchmakers for officials and prominent families must understand this truth. Therefore, she should not have to spread a blanket and go out to the matchmaker, but the matchmaker should come to see her.
Gu Jinli's guess was correct. After a while, she heard a burst of voices, including the voices of Mrs. Cui, the third grandma, Mrs. Chen, and a strange voice, who she thought was the matchmaker.
Qin Sanlang also heard it and had to let go of her. He said with some reluctance: "I'll leave first and come to see you in the evening."
Gu Jinli pushed him and said, "Let's go, let's not come tonight. It's hard for you to come back. You have to prepare for the wedding ceremony tomorrow. It's important to seize the time and get more sleep."
"I'm not tired. I'm in good health. Two hours of sleep every day is enough." After Qin Sanlang said this, he didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly climbed out of the window and left.
After Gu Jinli tidied his clothes and hair, he opened the door and stood on the right side of the door waiting.
Not long after, I heard Chen's high-pitched voice: "Mrs. Zong, this is the courtyard where Xiaoyu and Sister Xiu live. She is sewing clothes for Sanlang now."
He then laughed and said, "But her craftsmanship is not good, and the things she embroiders are weird. The tiger head she embroiders looks like she is embroidering a pig head. It is chubby and does not have the majesty of a mountain king at all."
The matchmaker was in his fifties, but he looked to be in his early forties. He was wearing clean and decent clothes, with a simple bun on his head, only a jade hairpin, and a pair of jade earrings. He looked ordinary. It's clean and a bit noble.
In response to Chen's noisy words, the matchmaker just nodded slightly and said, "Miss Gu Er makes clothes for Sanlang of the Qin family. She is very virtuous."
After doing so many times, naturally no one dared to stare at her anymore.
Gu Jinxiu is like a transparent person. He almost never goes out. Even if he goes out, he always wears a curtain and hat and does not show his face. Not many people in Dafeng Village have seen Gu Jinxiu.
Zong's matchmaker looked at the Gu family with admiration and put it away completely out of repayment. Instead, he seriously told Gu Jinli what to do for the engagement ceremony tomorrow.
There are steps in the engagement ceremony. When should you get up to bathe and change clothes, when should you comb your hair and makeup, when should you worship heaven, earth and ancestors, when should you open the door to welcome the man for the engagement ceremony, and how to welcome him. All of them are particular.
Zong's matchmaker explained everything clearly to Gu Jinli, and thoughtfully took a booklet from the maid's hand, handed it to her and said, "This booklet contains what you need to do for the engagement ceremony tomorrow. If you don't Mark my words and read this booklet.
Gu Jinli took the booklet with both hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mrs. Zong. I will definitely take the time to read it and make sure I don't make any mistakes tomorrow."
Hearing this, Zongs matchmaker nodded with satisfaction: Call me Grandma Zong, my eldest granddaughter is one year older than you.
Gu Jinli followed the good example and called out: "Grandma Zong."
Zong's matchmaker was very happy, but his smile was still small, a standard smile. After saying a few words to Gu Jinli, he stood up and left.
"Xiaoyu, let's go see off the matchmaker. You stay in the house and make the robe for Sanlang. Xiaoji will bring you dinner." Cui turned around and told Gu Jinli, and quickly followed. Zong matchmaker them.
After Zong Matchmaker and the others left the yard, Xiao Ji's shoulders slumped and he felt relaxed: "Oh my God, I'm finally gone. This Zong Matchmaker's rules are really strict. He even keeps his back straight when he sits. Standing straight and keeping her head raised, isnt her neck sore?
Gu Jinli looked at Xiao Ji and said, "Xiao Ji, you are looking more and more like a noble aunt."
"What!" Xiao Ji was shocked, his face turned pale with fright, and he asked tremblingly: "Really, really?"
Gu Jinli nodded: "Well, you have been talking about God more and more recently. If you continue like this, you will become the second noble aunt."
