By mid-month, more and more people were buying New Year's goods.
People are coming home later and later every day.
On the 18th, Gu Hui and Gu Nian made two trips to the county town. On their way back, Gu Nian suddenly thought of Li Muyan.
It seems like this guy hasn't written in three days. What is he doing?
So she started talking to Gu Hui: "Sister Huihui, didn't you say your intuition is pretty accurate? You were quite right when you talked about Cheng Rui before. What do you think of Li Muyan? What do you think of him?"
Gu Hui: "He's a good guy, but..."
Gu Nian playfully slapped Gu Hui: "Sister Huihui, do you know what people fear and love the most?"
Gu Hui shook her head.
Gu Nian said, "What people fear and love most is 'but.' When the first part is a good thing, 'but' makes people afraid. When the first part is a bad thing, 'but' makes people like it."
Gu Hui smiled and said, "That sounds familiar. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."
Gu Nian: "Of course, that's what your dad, my uncle, said. I'm learning from Xin Xin to keep his words in mind!"
Gu Hui smiled and shook her head, then said seriously, "Before, when it was just Aunt Luo and Li Muyan, I thought he was a good person, and you two were a good match. He was simple, optimistic, and positive, and would be a good husband. But now that his maternal grandparents have appeared, I don't think they are such simple people."
Gu Nian's smile faded, she pursed her lips, and asked, "His maternal grandparents are the Duke and Duchess, they probably wouldn't look down on someone from a humble family like mine, right? But..."
Gu Hui raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Nian, wanting to hear the truth behind these bad words.
Gu Nian smiled: "However, if Li Muyan can continue to be the same as before, I won't care so much. Actually, I don't think he's a mama's boy at all."
"A mama's boy?" Gu Hui was taken aback.
Gu Nian explained, "It's the kind of child who listens to their mother in everything, who still acts like their mother's little baby no matter how old they are, who has no opinions of their own, and who thinks everything their mother says is right."
Gu Hui nodded: "That's not him, Aunt Luo is very nice."
Gu Nian: "Yes, Aunt Luo is very nice."
Gu Hui thought for a moment and then said, "Didn't Grandma Jiang say before that her brother's family only had one son and one daughter? The son died, so only the daughter is left. If the Duke and Duchess of Rongguo take Aunt Luo and Li Muyan back, then Li Muyan will inherit the title, and the son will probably have to change his surname to Jiang. If you marry him, you'll probably be constantly pressured to have a son!"
Gu Hui sneered, "Tch, what's the point of having a son if they don't have a throne to inherit?"
Gu Nian laughed: "Hahaha, Sister Huihui, I like you so much. Yeah, Zheng Na is just an ordinary family, and there's no throne to inherit, so what's the point of having a son?"
Gu Hui's words really reminded Gu Nian that Li Muyan's problem was quite serious!
However, since she had already agreed to give it a try with Li Muyan, she wouldn't back down because of this.
Judging from the gadgets Li Muyan invented himself, his thinking should not be limited!
Next time you make a request, mention this to him. These things should always be discussed before marriage.
The reason why Li Muyan hadn't replied to Gu Nian's letter for several days was because of the letter Gu Nian had written to Li Muyan last time.
In that letter, Gu Nian asked about the gloves. She thought that since it was almost Chinese New Year, she should ask Li Muyan first. The material of those gloves looked like something that couldn't be easily obtained. She couldn't wait until summer to ask, so she wanted to ask early and have them made for her sisters as soon as possible.
