Gu Nian only reminded Cai Xiaolian and Gu Xin once. The three women weren't interested in the matter. Anyway, they had already encountered that old man, so they just wouldn't fall for his tricks.
They simply couldn't believe that anyone could kidnap them from the village in broad daylight.
...
The county examinations were held on the sixth day of the month, presided over by the respective county magistrates.
Lord Cheng glanced at Gu Shouxin with a complicated expression, feeling extremely resentful.
Why are things so strict this year?
Why would the prefectural city send an education commissioner to inspect?
How is he supposed to get rid of this arrogant country bumpkin?
Gu Shouxin noticed Lord Cheng's gaze and looked over defiantly.
Lord Cheng clenched his fists. As long as the education commissioner doesn't come to Taoyuan County, you peasant are prepared to be a peasant for the rest of your life!
Thinking about it this way, Lord Cheng calmed down and became the same upright and gentle Lord Cheng he always was.
Gu Shouxin's lips curled up slightly, but he didn't look at it again.
...
The three members of the Gu family did not encounter Old Man Qin at their door, but on the ninth day, they did meet Madam Li's son.
Madam Li brought the shampoo bottle that Cai Xiaolian had previously been involved with. Li Muyan finally wanted to see his mother's long-lost half-sister.
"Yan'er, come here quickly and greet everyone. This is your Aunt Cai, this is your Sister Huihui, this is your Niannian, Xinxin, and Sisi!" Madam Li introduced the group to Li Muyan.
Li Muyan had never been interested in women, so he didn't steal glances at the girls. He politely bowed to Cai Xiaolian first, and then greeted the girls one by one.
“Sister Huihui, Nian…is that you?” Li Muyan recognized Gu Nian at a glance.
Gu Nian: ...
That can't be that unlucky!
This guy chasing after a woman is actually Mrs. Li's son?
"Does Young Master Li recognize my daughter?" Cai Xiaolian was a little annoyed by the young man's sudden interest in Gu Nian, and asked.
“Aunt Cai, just call me by my name. Aunt Cai, did you go to the city to see the lanterns during the Lantern Festival?” Li Muyan turned to look at Cai Xiaolian.
"Why are you asking about my mother? It's me! So what? I'm the unlucky one who got into the water because of you and almost got bitten by a dog! What are you going to do about it?" After Gu Nian finished speaking, she looked at Madam Li, "Aunt Luo, tell me the truth, did you find out about our family from my aunt because you deliberately looked for us during the Lantern Festival?"
"Niannian, why are you angry?" Madam Li stood up, walked to Gu Nian's side, and tried to soothe her. "My dear girl, when I came here, I really just wanted to see you, but who knew your mother was more interesting than you! I was attracted to your mother, how could I have time to see you? Don't worry, I absolutely didn't mean anything by it. Really, I promise!"
After so much time, Madam Li had already inquired about the relationship between the Gu and Cheng families from the servants of the Cheng family. She had grown to respect the Gu family more and more, so she hadn't thought about what her son had mentioned before.
She figured her son still had almost two more years before his bad luck ended, and bringing it up now would only hurt the girl. So, she decided not to bring it up.
Since Li Muyan hadn't mentioned it, she assumed he had forgotten.
So, when Li Muyan came out this morning, he said he wanted to meet Aunt Cai, who was involved in the bottle cap pressing process, so she brought her people over.
"Mother! How could you not tell me earlier?" Li Muyan was furious. His mother had gone too far. She had already found a girl without telling him, making him think that the girl wasn't from Qingzhou and that she would be married off by the time he left home in two years.
