Gou Becomes a Boss in the Fairy World

Chapter 1463: Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (VII)

It was near the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Wang Chen had just finished his morning class with his students when the innkeeper came to the academy excitedly.

He announced the good news as soon as he met him: "Mr. Wang, there is good news!"

Wang Chen invited the other party to sit in the study, and asked Chen Yijian to prepare tea, and then asked: "What good news?"

Look how excited he was.

The innkeeper didn't even bother to wipe his sweat, and hurriedly told him the good news in detail.

Last time, the innkeeper patted his chest and promised to find a good match for Wang Chen.

In the past period of time, he has also been asking for news in the county town, and through his connections, he has been looking for news and finding out if there are any ladies suitable for Wang Chen.

Qing'an County has a population of tens of thousands, and there are many women of the right age, but it is hard to say whether they are suitable for Wang Chen.

Although Wang Chen only asked for "gentleness and virtue", the innkeeper who took on this matchmaking job took the initiative to raise the conditions for him.

Therefore, it was not until now that he met a suitable one.

According to the innkeeper, this young lady is only 29 years old, and has reached the age of marriage, but she is still waiting to be married.

She is actually quite good, gentle, virtuous, beautiful and charming, but her identity is a bit embarrassing.

This young lady is the illegitimate daughter of Ye Xiangming, the county magistrate of Qing'an County, and has been living in the latter's outer house.

Miss Ye's mother has passed away for many years. County magistrate Ye originally wanted to bring his daughter home, but the eldest wife firmly opposed it, so she could only be taken care of by the old servants in the outer house.

The problem is that Miss Ye is getting older and can't be an old maid, so County magistrate Ye secretly asked someone to find a suitable son-in-law.

But it's quite difficult.

Although Miss Ye's own conditions are good, she is well-educated, beautiful and intelligent, but her identity is not recognized. It is not easy for her to marry into the gentry family in the county as a wife.

But she can marry a bastard's son or a concubine of a legitimate son, but Miss Ye herself is unwilling.

If she wants to be a wife, she can only look for someone else.

Then County magistrate Ye is unwilling again.

Therefore, this situation has been put off until now, otherwise they should have been matched up at the age of 28.

After the innkeeper knew about this, he felt that she was very suitable for Wang Chen, so he passed on the situation here.

Then he got a response that Miss Ye was willing to meet Wang Chen, Mr. Wang.

That means a blind date.

The innkeeper was dry-mouthed, picked up the teacup and took a big sip, then said: "Mr. Wang, I have inquired carefully, and this Miss Ye has a really good character and is really suitable for you."

Wang Chen smiled and said: "Then let's meet, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's not hard."

The innkeeper smiled immediately: "If we can achieve a golden marriage, it will be my blessing!"

This is the first time he has been a matchmaker, and of course he hopes it will be successful.

Next, it was about the meeting, and the other party arranged it at the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival is a Mid-Autumn Festival activity that has been passed down for hundreds of years in Qing'an County. Every year on August 15th, the banks of the Fangxia River in the county are decorated with lanterns, and men, women, old and young carry lanterns to celebrate the arrival of the festival.

It is very lively.

The Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival is also a day for many lovers to meet, which has a special auspicious and festive meaning.

The other party put the blind date at the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, which undoubtedly has considerable expectations.

Wang Chen had no objection to this, so it was finalized.

"Teacher..."

?????55.?????

As soon as the innkeeper left, Chen Yijian appeared next to Wang Chen and whispered: "Do you want me to help you find out about this Miss Ye?"

He had been eavesdropping outside just now, worried that his teacher was fooled by the innkeeper.

Especially when it comes to Wang Chen's lifelong event!

Of course, Chen Yijian also had a little selfishness in this, fearing that Wang Chen would find a fierce woman as his wife, and then the lives of many school disciples including him would be difficult.

"No need."

Wang Chen patted Chen Yijian's head, knowing his thoughts well: "Study hard and don't meddle in other people's business."

This guy can't be given too much sunshine, otherwise it's easy to go crazy.

Chen Yijian was shocked and lowered his head and said: "Yes."

He heard the meaning of Wang Chen's knocking, and he couldn't help but feel panic, and no longer had any extra thoughts.

He also knew that his teacher looked easy to talk to, but in fact he was scheming and firm in his position, and he couldn't be easily manipulated.

On the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wang Chen changed into a clean and tidy scholar's scarf and re-combed his hair. Then, holding a book in one hand and a lantern in the other, he left home for Fangxia River.

Fangxia River is a tributary of Qingshui River, running through most of the county, and it can be regarded as the mother river of this city.

There are many shops on both sides of the river. It is the most prosperous and lively area in the county, with restaurants, restaurants, pavilions and houses everywhere.

When night falls, painted lanterns are lit up, and pleasure boats cruise along the river. The sound of singing and dancing reaches the shore, attracting countless people to stop and look.

In the streets, men and women holding lanterns, young and old, come and go, mixed with all kinds of peddlers and hawkers, and the atmosphere of the world is endless.

According to the agreement between the two parties, Wang Chen came to the Xinhe Bridge with a lantern.

Xinhe Bridge is a stone bridge connecting the two sides of Fangxia River. It has a long history. Many people come here to enjoy the lanterns tonight.

Wang Chen's eyes searched among the crowd and soon locked on the target.

It was a graceful girl in a plain long dress. Although her face was covered with a veil and her true appearance could not be seen, her fair and smooth forehead and lively eyes were enough to make people have endless reverie.

And beside this girl was a pretty and lovely maid. The lanterns in their hands were a pair of lotus flowers for Pisces, which was the secret code agreed in advance.

Interestingly, when Wang Chen's eyes fell on the other person, the girl seemed to have a feeling and turned her head to look in his direction.

The eyes of the two met in the air, and a layer of shyness suddenly appeared in the girl's eyes.

The maid next to her noticed the strangeness of her lady and looked at Wang Chen.

She blinked, then whispered something in the girl's ear, causing the latter to roll her eyes.

Wang Chen smiled slightly, holding the lantern through the crowd, and walked towards the other party unhurriedly.

The two met at the Xinhe Bridge.

Wang Chen saluted first: "I am Wang Chen, meet you young lady."

The girl timidly replied: "I am Ye Dai, meet you Mr. Wang."

The two looked at each other again.

Bang~ Bang!

At this moment, a bunch of fireworks exploded over the Xinhe Bridge, scattering thousands of beautiful fireworks.

The light and dark firelight illuminated the men and women on the riverside, as if time would stop at this moment forever.

This was the first meeting between Wang Chen and Ye Dai, and it was also an eternal memory for the two!
