After hearing this, Madam Liu felt really embarrassed.

Going to the northwest is no joke. Once you go there, you can't come back. Nowadays, most people are unwilling to leave their hometowns just to get married.

Gu Yue was secretly delighted. These words really hit the nail on the head. If Madam Liu wanted to bring them together again, she would have to go back and ask.

"Thank you for your kindness. It's hard for me to make the trip today." Gu Yue took out two taels of silver from his pocket and put it in the hand of Chai Gui who was standing obediently aside.

Chai Gui was smart and immediately gave the silver to Madam Liu.

Madam Liu touched the silver and her expression softened. This family obviously didn't understand matchmaking etiquette, but overall they were knowledgeable and tactful, so she was willing to help put in some good words.

"In that case, it's my fault for coming here so abruptly." Madam Liu stood up with a smile.

"You have good intentions. The good marriages in this town cannot be achieved without your matchmaking." Gu Yue also said something nice and sent the person to the door.

"I'll take my leave now." said Madam Liu.

After the matchmaker left, Gu Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from his age, it was indeed time for Gu Xu to get married, but they had already met Yu Weishuang, and Gu Xu and her seemed to get along well. But they hadn't asked Gu Xu what he thought, so if he met someone he liked better, it wouldn't be a problem.

There is more than just one kind of emotion in the world. You can also be friends with Yu Weishuang.

Gu Xu was still in the room. Gu Yue returned to the room and saw Gu Xu's sullen face, so he laughed at him: "What's wrong? They are also kind enough to introduce you to someone, if you don't want to, just refuse. I think they are all good candidates."

Although matchmakers always hide their shortcomings, it sounds okay from the surface.

"Why, you want to marry? Who do you like?" Gu Xu's expression could no longer be maintained, "Is that a widow or a butcher's daughter?"

"Why are you asking this?" Gu Yue was still a little embarrassed. From what Madam Liu said, the butcher's daughter didn't know that the widow had fallen in love with him. She didn't say her age... I guess she was a few years older than him.

Of course, Gu Yue also knew that in this era, "like" does not necessarily mean love, but it means whether you can live together and be a good match. However, he had very few girls in his previous life, and in this life...

"Tell me! Do you want to find a godmother for me?" Gu Xu asked.

Everyone in the yard outside heard it, and He Gui had a look of pain on his face.

"What are they arguing about?" Shi Wu asked in a low voice.

"Don't ask or mention things that you shouldn't ask. Do you hear me?" He Gui warned.

"Oh oh." Shi Si and Shi Wu nodded repeatedly and continued to pound the meat into paste.

...inside the house.

"I didn't." Gu Yue whispered. He remembered the heroine and asked, "The girl that Madam Liu mentioned..."

"Girl?" Gu Xu raised his voice.

Gu Yue shrank back: "It's time for you to consider these things. I think Yu Weishuang is good, but if you don't like her, we can still look at someone else. I don't object to you marrying more than one person, but it's better to be single-minded in everything."

Gu Xu was almost pissed off by him.

"What am I thinking about? Getting married? What about you?" Gu Xu felt a lump in his chest.

What was that thing that day?

This guy has forgotten everything?!

"Me? I won't marry. Love will affect the speed at which I sell chicken chops." Gu Yue wanted to tell a joke to liven up the atmosphere.

"..." Gu Xu clenched his fists, his face gloomy, he stood up and walked out.

"Hey, where are you going?" Gu Yue was panicked.

"I'm out doing some work." Gu Xu replied coldly.

"Do you need me to go?" Gu Yue asked again.

The answer he got was the closed gate.

"What's going on?" Gu Yue muttered to himself.

It's just matchmaking, why get angry? Gu Yue scratched his face.

Could it be that he really liked Yu Weishuang? And wanted to marry more girls, so he was so angry about what he said?

Feeling inexplicably aggrieved, Gu Yue folded his hands, stroked his palms and pondered.

This male protagonist is always imagining things, doubting this and that, but he never says anything when he has any problem!

He is so arrogant! He is so hard to please!

Gu Yue pouted and went to fry the chicken fillet.

……

Gu Xu arrived at the martial arts hall.

He ignored the many secret guards who greeted him upon entering and headed straight for the martial arts training ground.

Wu Yan was teaching Wu Feng martial arts one-on-one. When he saw Gu Xu coming alone, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

Wu Feng jumped out of the venue with a grin on his face, and several people knelt down on one knee.

The master who is not by Gu Dashi's side is not so easy to talk to, so it is better to be more disciplined.

The hut behind the martial arts training ground was where the four of them usually rested, and where Gu Xu and they discussed matters. In addition, this place also received and compiled some letters and reports from the Wumen branches in various places. Gu Xu entered the house, calmed down his mood, and picked up the books to read.

The four people looked at each other.

"Why does the master look like he's in a bad mood today?" Wu Huo said in a low voice.

"I don't know. Oh... Wu Yan has passed by. He is never afraid of this." Wu Feng said quietly.

Gu Xu asked: "Any new developments?"

Wu Yan said, "The spies from Huaizhong Prefecture sent back a carrier pigeon saying that King Yin is indeed in the palace. About half a month ago, the government office of Huaizhong Prefecture sent a sedan chair to the palace, but the identity of the person is unknown."

"Have you found any clues about the traitor in Wumen?" Gu Xu asked again.

"Not yet. The false information we sent out against King Yin does not seem to have been passed on to King Yin. This person is either an important undercover agent or belongs to other forces. As long as he moves, we can catch him." Wu Yan said.

"I originally thought it was King Yin, but now it seems..." Gu Xu frowned tightly.

"Master, there is one more thing..." Wu Yan whispered.

……

Luoyang Dali Temple.

"Who are you?" Two guards blocked the main entrance.

"What do you mean? Mr. Wang has only been in office for a few months, and he has even replaced the eyes of the guards!" Lord Liu scolded.

The guard was stunned. The guard on the right looked again and again, and suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Lord Liu, why are you..."

"I have to go in and organize the files. The previous cases have not yet been recorded." Lord Liu said calmly.

"Yes, Sir Liu, please come in." The guard said quickly, "Just this person?"

"This is my book boy. What's the matter? Are you tired of being a guard and want to transfer him to grind ink for me?" Lord Liu looked up with his nose in the air.

"No, this is just a routine inquiry. Please come in, Lord Liu." The guard said with a smile.

Lord Liu brought his servant into the three-story building where the case files were stored.

There were a few people working in the building. Lord Liu walked around them, went straight up to the third floor, and stopped in front of a bookshelf.

He said respectfully to the "book boy": "Sir, all the important cases in Yunxi back then are here."

The book boy asked, "During this period, has anyone checked it?"

Lord Liu said, "About five or six years ago, someone holding a token from the palace came here. The next day, I found that the dust on this shelf had been wiped off. I guess..."
