After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

In fact, I was curious about what kind of article a seven-year-old child could write, but Gongsun Wen didn't show it to me, so I had to endure it.

At this moment, a servant came to report that Matchmaker Wang had arrived.

Gongsun Wen's cold face was full of confusion. He was a bachelor and even the emperor didn't dare to force him to get married. Today, a matchmaker who was so reckless as to come to his house to propose marriage was really strange.

The servant couldn't help but remind him, "My Lord, ever since Concubine Yu got into trouble in our house, His Majesty said that your house was too lonely and unlucky, and that we needed to get new people and new things to ward off evil. Your Lordship didn't object at the time, so I'm afraid it was the matchmaker sent by His Majesty who arranged a marriage for you."

Gongsun Wen's face darkened and he said, "It's fine if you dig up the trees in my house, but you also want to put people in my house?"

The servant was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly said, "My lord, be careful with your words. If you disobey my order, you will be executed along with your entire clan."

Gongsun Wen's chest was heaving, apparently because he was angry.

I am very interested in matchmaking in ancient times, and I want to know what kind of woman the matchmaker would introduce to Gongsun Wen.

I excitedly pulled Jinping up from the ground and said, "Come on, let's go take a look."

I was about to walk away when Gongsun Wen grabbed my collar and said gloomily, "You're so eager to propose marriage to me."

I quickly turned around and took Gongsun Wen's arm, and advised him earnestly, "Well, we won't lose anything if we go and take a look. If you drive away matchmaker Wang this time, you might send matchmaker Li or Zhao next time. The girls they introduce to you this time might all be good girls, but later on, all the good girls will be engaged, so how can you get a chance? Then you'll be single for the rest of your life."

"You!" Gongsun Wen gritted his teeth in anger. He realized belatedly that I was holding his arm. His whole body stiffened and he pushed me away, saying angrily, "Just take a look."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and strode out.

I quickly pulled Jinping along and followed.

We rushed to the outside of the main hall and saw Gongsun Wen already sitting in the main seat. To his lower left sat a woman with a pearl hairpin on her head, pearl earrings on her ears, her hair was shiny and she was wearing bright red and green clothes. She was talking excitedly.

Seeing Gongsun Wen's look of disgust, but not knowing how to drive the person away, and his expression as if he had eaten shit, I couldn't help but laugh.

Jinping was a little scared and pulled me aside, saying, "We shouldn't get involved in this kind of situation."

I said, "We won't get involved. We'll just go in and take a look."

As she was talking, matchmaker Wang took out a bunch of scrolls from a cloth bag and placed them in front of Gongsun Wen. Then she deftly opened a scroll and handed it to Gongsun Wen, saying with a smile, "Master Gongsun, look, this is Miss Song Qing, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an. She has fine eyebrows and dark eyes, a graceful figure, and is now sixteen years old. She is proficient in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, housekeeping, and needlework. She is the perfect match for you, Master."

Gongsun Wen said nothing and didn't even glance at the scroll.

Matchmaker Wang was a little embarrassed. She had talked about so many marriage proposals, but had never seen one who was so aloof and didn't say a word the whole time.

Matchmaker Wang had no choice but to change another scroll and handed it to Gongsun Wen, introducing it with great joy: "Sir, this is Jiang Zixi, the second daughter of the eldest wife of the Wenxin Marquis's mansion. She is fifteen years old and has just had her wedding ceremony. Miss Jiang is good at writing and dancing. It is said that she once danced in her own yard, and the butterflies in the sky came to cheer her up."

Seeing that Matchmaker Wang had introduced two people, I hurriedly walked in, and Jinping couldn't stop me.

I walked up to Matchmaker Wang and took the scroll. I saw the woman in the scroll had a slender waist, a nice hip, and flowing black hair. She was dancing gracefully, like a fairy descending to earth. She was so beautiful beyond words.

I couldn't help but admire her and said, "You are so blind that you don't even like such a beautiful woman."

Gongsun Wen's face darkened, and before he could say anything, Matchmaker Wang looked at me in surprise and said, "Oh, who are you, young master? What's your intention in stealing my scroll?"

I looked at Gongsun Wen, whose face was so black that ink seemed to be dripping off it, and I felt secretly happy. I deliberately dragged out the words and said, "I am the nephew of Master Gongsun."

Matchmaker Wang smiled and bowed, saying, "It's you, young master. I'm honored to meet you."

I quickly waved my hands and said, "No need to be polite. My cousin is shy, so I'll help him take a good look at these beauties to see if they're suitable."

Matchmaker Wang was worried that Gongsun Wen would be as cold as ice and would not respond to anything she said. Now someone came to help her make the decision. She smiled so much that her mouth almost broke into a smile and said, "That's great. Please come in, young master."

I put down Jiang Zixi's scroll and picked up another portrait to look at it. As Matchmaker Wang introduced the paintings, I quickly finished looking at the ten or so scrolls.

Matchmaker Wang saw me flipping through the pages quickly but didn't comment. She couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Young Master, do you have anyone you like?"

I shook my head and said, "The ones you introduced are all from small and medium-sized families. No wonder my cousin doesn't like them."

Matchmaker Wang was a little anxious, and said with her neck stiff, "I spent a lot of money to buy these scrolls. The girls from these dozen families are all from wealthy families and are very popular in the capital. Lord Gongsun doesn't like them, so maybe once I make this move, these girls will be taken away by other families."

Gongsun Wen remained silent throughout the whole process, with a gloomy face, as if others owed him millions.

I shook my head and said, "It is said that Yang Chuchu from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhou Wenji from the Shangshu Mansion, and Zhao Fangping from the General's Mansion are rare and beautiful women in the world. Why is the scroll not in it? Do you think my cousin is not worthy of them?"

Matchmaker Wang's face changed. She didn't expect to meet such a tough guy today. He actually knew the women in the capital so thoroughly!

Matchmaker Wang panicked and stammered, "No, it's not that I don't want to bring these three young ladies' paintings, but these three young ladies are said to be the most popular candidates for the Crown Princess, and I really can't get them."

It was thanks to Zhao Fangping that I knew the names of Yang Chuchu and Zhou Wenjie.

In the TV series, Zhao Fangping has always regarded these two daughters of wealthy families as his rivals, fighting each other to death secretly and openly. In terms of character, beauty and knowledge, these three are equally matched, but in terms of scheming, ten Yang Chuchu and Zhou Wenji are no match for Zhao Fangping. No wonder Zhao Fangping can become the crown princess, it's all because of her strength.

After hearing what matchmaker Wang said, I pushed the picture scroll in front of her and said, "In terms of knowledge and character, my cousin is one of the best men in the capital. The pictures you brought today are only for the girls from the Hou Mansion, but the others are just for show. Don't even mention my cousin. I don't like them. You should come back next time if you can find a better girl."

"This, this, this." Matchmaker Wang looked at me, then at Gongsun Ning, with a dark face. She picked up the scroll and left angrily.

Seeing that Matchmaker Wang had gone far away, Gongsun Wen stood up and said to me with a half-smile: "You did a good job. Next time there is a matchmaker coming to our house, you will be the one to deal with it."
