"Sigh, this kid is so stupid, what will happen when he takes the imperial examination?" Gu Hui sighed.
"Big sister, don't worry about his exams. He's actually quite good at that. Even if he's a bit slow, his thinking is definitely clear when he's writing. The exam questions in our Great Zhou Dynasty aren't going to be about writing a passage and then having the candidates analyze whether the character is male or female," Gu Nian said with a smile.
Gu Hui shook her head helplessly.
"Isn't Fourth Brother's behavior going to scare Fourth Sister-in-law away? How can we entrust our lives to someone so foolish?" Gu Si said worriedly.
“Yes, Xin Xin, do you think Xiao Qiu is interested in that?” Gu Hui asked.
"Not yet! Xiao Qiu is still thinking about her family! But who knows in the future? At least Xiao Qiu doesn't turn her back on Enzi. At first, she thought Enzi was like the rumors in the capital, one of the best men in our Great Zhou! Now her impression has been ruined, she thinks Enzi is just a handsome fool." Gu Xin continued with a smile, "You don't know, Enzi even insisted on making a promise with Xiao Qiu that he would come to Xiao Qiu's house for dinner, to have a long talk with Xiao Qiu by candlelight, and to make noodles for Xiao Qiu, using his dough-making skills. He was so eager, he never did that with Yingying before."
"Good heavens! Fourth Brother treats other people like this? He used to refuse when I asked him to knead dough and make me a bowl of noodles, and he would complain that I was lazy and that I would never get married! Now he treats a handsome man like this..." Gu Si was a little depressed.
They are siblings, close in age, and grew up together. How could she be inferior to men outside?
Gu Si strongly suspected that her brother simply liked good-looking boys.
"Don't do that! You'll only scare your fourth sister-in-law away!" Gu Hui glanced at Gu Si and reminded her, then added, "However, Enzi's behavior is really outrageous. We know Xiao Qiu is a girl, but he doesn't know that himself! If Xiao Qiu were really a man, would he really be planning to make a scene at home and stay with a man forever?"
"Big sister, big sister, don't be angry. Let me tell you, there's a magnetic field between men and women. You see, when Enzi was little, he liked the fair-skinned Yingying, so you can tell he likes girls. He's such a straightforward person, how could he possibly like men! Besides, how could he win a fight with his family?" Gu Nian comforted her.
“Yes, yes, don’t be angry, big sister. I’m just telling you gossip, not to make you angry. I have another plan that I need your cooperation on!” Gu Xin added.
"What plan?" Gu Hui asked, then added, "By the way, when you have time, invite Xiao Qiu out for a meal so we can properly assess her. We can overlook everything about Renren and the others' partners, as long as they love each other. But we can't do that with Enzi's partner; we have to investigate her carefully."
As the eldest daughter of the first wife, Gu Hui had quite a few worries.
After Grandpa and Grandma Gu pass away, the Gu family will definitely split up. At that time, Gu En will be in charge of external affairs, and Gu En's wife will be in charge of internal affairs. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a good one.
She didn't expect anything from her parents; in any case, Enzi's wife had to pass her test as the eldest sister.
Gu Hui didn't think that just because she was a married daughter, she couldn't care about her parents' affairs. Even after getting married, she was still a member of the Gu family, and her parents' affairs were her affairs. She couldn't just say that she didn't care about anything after getting married.
