In the main room, Gu Nian looked at her grandparents and parents, sighed, and said, "Today I took a liking to a pretty good young man. I'm at the age where I can ask about marriage, right? I thought he was nice, so I asked him about his situation. Xin Xin heard that the young man's situation is somewhat similar to Aunt Huan's, and she got upset, worried that I'd suffer!"
"Young man? What do you do?" Cai Xiaolian asked curiously.
Someone who can catch her eye must be quite something!
Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, and Gu Shouxin all looked at Gu Nian with great curiosity.
Didn't this kid say last year he wanted to find the top scholar in the imperial examination? He found one so quickly? Wasn't the exam supposed to be next year?
“Su Yan’s cousin, Yan Mo, General Yan. The heir of the Marquis of Wu’an’s mansion, and the martial arts champion a few years ago. He’s a fine young man of twenty-three!” Gu Nian said calmly.
Grandpa and Grandma Gu were speechless. "You're just a fifteen-year-old girl, and you're calling a twenty-three-year-old 'young man'?"
Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian knew Gu Nian's soul age, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with her taking a liking to a 23-year-old. They would have found it strange if she had taken a liking to someone her own age.
“But Sister Su said that last year, a girl who was engaged to General Yan was on her way to pray to Buddha a month before the wedding when her horse got spooked and she fell off a cliff!” Gu Xin said from the side.
"This..." The four elders didn't know what to say.
"Xinxin, it hasn't even gotten to that point yet! You little worryer! Why don't you see if I'll be in trouble if I fall for him and he falls for me too? If I am, I'll do whatever you say without hesitation. If not, you have to listen to me, okay?" Gu Nian said.
She really wanted to say, "Little lucky charm, with you here, I'll follow you. What bad luck could I possibly have? Unless I run into someone as unlucky as Li Muyan, I'll never get dragged into this mess."
"Alright!" Gu Xin sighed and nodded maturely, but after a while, she laughed, "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, that General Yan is really amazing! Twenty soldiers couldn't beat him! He carried my sister for a long time without getting out of breath. He's also very tall, half a head taller than Yuanyuan! I just don't know if Yuanyuan can beat him!"
“Your brother Yuanyuan is still young and needs to grow taller!” Grandpa Gu laughed. “Since he is the martial arts champion, he must be very skilled in kung fu. I have also heard of General Yan’s reputation. It is said that he is very well received by the people in the north, and the northern Tartars would stay far away when they heard his name.”
“Niannian, when you’re judging a person, you can’t just look at his appearance and abilities; you also have to look at his heart. Marriage is a lifelong commitment, so you can’t do anything foolish before you’re sure of his heart,” Grandma Gu said earnestly. She couldn’t help but remind her of the original owner Gu Nian’s past behavior.
"Yes, I know, Grandma. Don't worry, I'm your granddaughter, and I'm very smart! Look, the grandpa you fell for was the one you knew for life at first sight!" Gu Nian said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, I believe in Niannian," Grandpa Gu nodded.
"Xin Xin said, fighting with the soldiers, carrying Niannian? Where did you go?" Gu Shouxin grasped the key point and asked.
The three sisters: Oh no!
Gu Nian and Gu Xin lowered their heads.
Gu Shouxin looked at Gu Si: "Sisi, tell your second uncle where you went to play?"
