Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Chapter 106 Matchmaker

"No, no, no, if my mother knew, she would scold me." Bai Zhi said, "Why are you always looking at me? Come and eat. After eating, I will take you to the store and ask Zhou Shensi to find you an easy job."

Chu Yunchuan looked at her without saying anything. Bai Zhi asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want to work? Are all those words you said about your empathy for the people's sufferings just made up?"

"How about you promise me something?"

"what's up?"

"I don't know anyone here, please stay with me in the store for a while."

Bai Zhi scratched her head: "It's not impossible..." It's just that she has run the store for a while, and has been a hands-off manager for so long, it's really hard to go from extravagant to frugal.

Chu Yunchuan: "That's settled then."

Never mind, Bai Zhi thought, just consider it as a contribution to the administration of Qing County.

After dinner, Bai Zhi took Chu Yunchuan to the store first. Zhou Shensi was forcing a fake smile to greet people, but when he saw Bai Zhi, he turned back to his bitter expression: "Boss, this morning. Eh? Why is this pretty boy..."

Bai Zhi quickly covered Zhou Shensi's mouth: "Well, Shensi, this is Yunchuan. He will start working in the store today. My salary will be paid from my dividends. Find him a job that requires less effort." She whispered in his ear, "Ancestor, please be kind to him. I owe you a favor."

Zhou Shensi stretched out a hand with his palm facing up.

Bai Zhi: "...30 taels, deducted directly from the account."

Zhou Shensi's face suddenly changed into a smile, and she went to greet the cash cow while holding up her skirt: "Brother Yunchuan, right? You see, the hard work in the store is already done by someone else. Why don't you stand at the door and welcome customers? Look at your handsome appearance. It would be a pity if you don't welcome customers. Peng Wu, come and get a stool for Brother Yunchuan."

Chu Yunchuan was pushed away by Zhou Shensi with a confused look on his face. Bai Zhi followed him out and personally pushed him onto a stool, saying, "Work hard. I'm going to go out for a while and will be back to accompany you later."

Chu Yunchuan asked alertly: "Are you going on a blind date?"

"No, don't worry."

Bai Zhi really didn't plan to go to those young masters' houses again. She bought some gifts and brought them to Matchmaker Lu's house. Matchmaker Lu was flipping through the marriage book and was a little surprised to see Bai Zhi coming: "Boss Bai, we made an appointment at noon."

Bai Zhi placed the apology gift on the table and said apologetically, "Grandma, this happened suddenly. Can you please push the last few families away?"

"Rejected?" Matchmaker Lu frowned, "Why?"

Bai Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Someone is here."

"Someone? Could it be the Young Master Yang from yesterday? Didn't you think he wasn't handsome enough?"

"No, grandma, it's someone else." Bai Zhi said, "Please take the trouble to turn down the others, so that they won't have to work in vain."

Matchmaker Lu was a little unhappy: "Boss Bai, why didn't you tell me that you had someone earlier? Isn't this destroying my reputation?"

"Please forgive me, I just got it last night." Bai Zhi took out a silver ingot from her bosom and put it into Lu Matchmaker's hand. She weighed it and it was about ten taels.

Although Lu Po didn't believe what Bai Zhi said, after all, Bai Zhi was the adopted daughter of the county magistrate and had good relationships with people in the county. Since she had lowered her attitude so much, Lu the matchmaker could only take advantage of the situation and said, "Well, I'll go and explain it to them."

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Thank you very much, grandma."

Matchmaker Lu couldn't help but ask, "Manager Bai, you said there's someone, who is this person? How can he be more handsome than Mr. Yang?"

Bai Zhi: "I'm not from Qing County. I came here to work."

"A worker?" Matchmaker Lu muttered, "Boss Bai, don't blame me for being a nagging old woman. Even if you want to marry someone, you shouldn't marry a worker. No matter how pretty he is, it will be useless when he gets older. When it comes to getting married and living together, you first look at the family background, then the fate, then the character, and finally the appearance. That doesn't count. Boss Bai, you have a big family and a big business, don't let anyone take all your money away."

Bai Zhi joked, "This is different from what is said in the storybook. They still say that love can satisfy your hunger."

"Oh, my great shopkeeper Bai, how old are you and you still believe in stories? In this world, all men and women just find a suitable person to live with. I have been a matchmaker for many years, and I have seen infatuated men and resentful women. I say this, I have never seen a happy ending. Why? Human hearts are the most unreliable. Today they make vows of eternal love, but tomorrow they may become disgusted with each other. If you bet on human hearts, you will lose everything. Instead of taking a gamble, it is better to find a person who is well-matched. As long as the person has good character, ah, it is enough to look pleasing to the eye. You will not gain or lose, but at least you will have a companion to live with, right?"

Bai Zhi thought for a while, then said seriously, "Grandma, tell me, if I have concerns but insist on having a long-term relationship, what will happen in the end?"

"You young men are unreliable. If you have the guts, just go for it and give it a try. I can't persuade you. You'll understand once you hit your head against the wall twice." Matchmaker Lu snorted, "Don't come crying to me later."

Bai Zhi bowed her head and pondered. Matchmaker Lu thought for a moment and then said, "Manager Bai, I'm not saying this for my matchmaking business. You better keep your eyes open. If the man beside you changes his mind one day, just kick him out and come to me. I'll help you find a first-class man in our county."

"Don't worry, grandma." Bai Zhi said goodbye to Lu the matchmaker, and turned back before leaving, "I think you may not be able to do my business anymore."

Matchmaker Lu slapped her thigh at Bai Zhi's back and said angrily, "You can call him the shopkeeper, but he is still a child."

Chu Yunchuan brought quite booming business to Wenxianglou.

When had such a handsome man ever appeared in a small town in the mountains of Qing County? He stood at the door, and within three days, half of the unmarried girls in Qing County came to Wenxianglou for dinner. The dinner was fake, but seeing Chu Yunchuan a few times and hearing him say "Sir, please sit inside" was real.

There was a line of girls outside, all the way to the corner of the street, blocking the entire street. The shop was so busy that even Bai Zhi was pulled out from the cashier counter by Zhou Shensi to help serve the dishes.

Regret. Bai Zhi, who was now busy and dizzy, had only these two words in her mind. She regretted that she should not have let Chu Yunchuan stand at the door to attract attention. But it was too late to drag him away now. Those girls with green eyes outside might eat her alive.

Then they could only close the store early under the pretext that the food was sold out. Bai Zhi was about to greet Zhou Shensi, but Zhou Shensi took her aside first. The green light in his eyes was even brighter than that of the girls outside: "Boss! We are going to get rich! How about letting Yunchuan go and have a drink with the girls for five cents per table? Is that too much? Or three cents?"
