Chapter 53 The Prince’s Weak Concubine (25)
As autumn turned to winter, Gu Zhen's embroidery shop gradually got back on track.
His fame also grew through word of mouth among ladies and girls.
Gu Zhen adds a lot of ingenuity to her embroidery work.
Incorporating some modern elements, such as purses embroidered with cartoon characters, will be very popular among young ladies and gentlemen.
Gu Zhen can now earn three to five taels of silver a month, sometimes at best.
Xiao Chen’s debt was paid off last month.
Xiao Chen held the ten taels of silver and remained silent for a long time.
In the past few months, he also realized that Gu Zhen had no interest in him at all.
No matter how Xiao Chen tried to please her, Gu Zhen always refused.
He couldn't even wait to return the ten taels of silver to him.
In terms of his position in Gu Zhen's heart, Xiao Chen felt that he might not even be as high as Shen Huaizhi.
This guy goes there every day, either chopping wood or fetching water, or he works as a doorman to guard the gate for other people.
Such a noble young man ended up living like a servant.
Who in the capital doesn't laugh at Shen Huaizhi?
But she enjoys it very much.
Xiao Chen also gritted his teeth at this sinister guy.
Shen Huaizhi went from being warm and cold to Gu Zhen occasionally giving him a look now. It can be said that he has put a lot of effort into it.
Xiao Chen felt that he couldn't do it.
A prince cannot bring himself to do such things that lower his status.
Gu Zhen was also very distressed.
She hired two security guards, but they couldn't stop Shen Huaizhi at all.
Just stop wasting the money.
That night, Gu Zhen pretended to be asleep, waiting for Shen Huaizhi to touch the head of her bed, and she immediately opened her eyes.
Shen Huaizhi was not surprised at all, as if he knew that she was not asleep.
Gu Zhen questioned Shen Huaizhi whether he wanted to break the contract, as he had seriously disturbed Gu Zhen's peaceful life.
Shen Huaizhi smiled and said that he only had more time at night, and if he wanted to pursue the girl, he had to visit her boudoir at night.
Scoundrel! What a scoundrel!
After a long time, Gu Zhen couldn't do anything about him, and Shen Huaizhi never dared to do anything else, so he had to let him be.
But now that Gu Zhen has paid off his debts and has a stable income, he has decided to put the matter of marrying a son-in-law on the agenda.
No matter how shameless Shen Huaizhi is, he can't wait until she gets married before coming here!
After the decision was made, Gu Zhen asked Luoluo to invite Li, the matchmaker with the best reputation in Qingshui Lane.
Gu Zhen has three requirements for her future husband.
First, good temper and personality.
Second, you can’t look too bad.
Third, the family relationships are simple, and it is best if the child has no father or mother.
Matchmaker Li listened quietly and looked at Gu Zhen for a few times.
She thought that she had heard of such a beautiful girl and thought that she was called here today to get married, but she didn't expect that she was actually invited to marry a son-in-law!
"Miss Gu, let me be frank with you. There are not many good young men who can be sons-in-law these days."
Gu Zhen knew that he was either ugly, poor or had some problem.
"Of course I understand the difficulty of this matter, so I asked you to come here, Aunt Li. Thank you for your concern."
Gu Zhen pushed the purse over, Matchmaker Li weighed it, and took it with a smile on her face.
Just because of his generosity, she accepted it!
"Don't worry, girl. I'll look for more. The world is so big, there will always be someone suitable!"
"Thank you for your hard work. If it works, I will definitely give you a big red envelope!"
Gu Zhen saw off the overjoyed Matchmaker Li, closed the door, and sighed heavily.
If it wasn't for completing the mission, why would she give up her life and find a man to be a nuisance?
But since he had to take this path, Gu Zhen quickly accepted it.
A few days later, the news that the owner of Gu's embroidery shop at the east end of Qingshui Lane was looking for a son-in-law quickly spread throughout the neighborhood.
Before Matchmaker Li brought anyone over, Mrs. Zhang from the grocery store next door came to the door with her son.
Mrs. Zhang was kind and amiable. She often helped Gu Zhen and was also a frequent customer of the embroidery shop.
"Miss Gu, I heard you're looking for a husband? I'm a rough man, so I won't beat around the bush with you. What do you think of my son?"
Gu Zhen smiled awkwardly and was about to refuse when Young Master Zhang suddenly stood up.
"Mom!" Young Master Zhang blushed and turned away in embarrassment.
Gu Zhen's face was disheveled in the wind, but she still said calmly that Young Master Zhang was only fifteen years old, younger than her, so it was inappropriate.
What's more, she just wanted to marry a son-in-law to comfort her father's spirit in heaven.
Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to go back reluctantly.
That night, when Gu Zhen finally fell asleep, someone came into the room again.
Shen Huaizhi sat there for a long time with a dark face.
A few days later, I heard that Master Zhang was engaged to the daughter of the drug store.
The girl has an apple-shaped face and always smiles at everyone she sees. She is a blessed person.
After hearing this, Gu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer embarrassed.
When the neighbors heard about this, they all knew Gu Zhen's determination to marry a son-in-law, and no one wanted to target her anymore.
Although Miss Gu is beautiful and knowledgeable, their son cannot be a live-in son-in-law.
Besides, with such a beautiful girl, the family must be restless.
Haven't you seen that the embroidery shop often has some distinguished guests? Who knows, maybe it's Miss Gu's lover!
Taking in a son-in-law is also to make it easier for them to conceal their future actions!
Gu Zhen didn't care about the rumors and waited patiently for Matchmaker Li to come.
After waiting for a few days, Matchmaker Li came to ask her with a picture album.
Gu Zhen didn't like any of them because they were either too short or too ugly.
Or maybe there are many brothers in the family, and seeing that Gu Zhen is rich, they want to take advantage of him.
After choosing and choosing, there are only one or two suitable ones.
Gu Zhen decided to get to know each other first.
One of them was a poor scholar who had studied for a few years, but his family suffered a major change and he could only make a living by copying books for others.
I'm older, already twenty-five.
Gu Zhen made an appointment with him to appreciate the plum blossoms.
The scholar seemed to be very resistant to the identity of a son-in-law, and he actually started to blame Gu Zhen during the conversation.
She said she must not have read The Women's Rings carefully.
Gu Zhen rolled her eyes and ignored him, but came back and complained to Luoluo all night.
I was still talking in my sleep: "Read the damn women's ring!"
A few days later, I heard from Matchmaker Li that the poor scholar had received a big order to copy 500 copies of "Nu Jie" for someone!
Gu Zhen thought, how could it be such a coincidence?
But her second date arrived, and Gu Zhen didn't think about anything else.
The man I met this time had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked handsome, but a little clumsy.
When he saw Gu Zhen, he didn't even dare to raise his head.
He is an orphan who grew up eating at other people's homes and making a living as a bricklayer.
Although Gu Zhen was somewhat dissatisfied with the mud in his fingernails, it was not important and he could slowly correct it in the future.
There's nothing wrong with him otherwise, and he seems like a good candidate to be a live-in son-in-law.
Gu Zhen came back and hesitated for a long time, unable to make up his mind.
I always feel a little unwilling, but other people are not as good as this honest and hardworking bricklayer.
Forget it, forget it, I can’t be picky anymore.
If there is no other option, just use this. Anyway, she will leave immediately after completing the task!
"It's him!" Gu Zhen shouted, clenching his fists in the dark to encourage himself.
Suddenly, she heard a voice coming from the darkness.
A strong smell of vinegar, and also a hint of uncontrollable anger.
"Him? What him?"
