Gu Nian: "!"
Xiao Xinxin, if you went to study at Modern University, you would definitely choose humanities!
After hearing Gu Xin's explanation, Gu Hui understood the parts she didn't understand before. She could only read and write, and no one had taught her poetry until recently when she started learning with Gu Xin and Gu Si.
Gu Si tilted her head, also pondering Gu Xin's explanation.
Cai Xiaolian smiled with satisfaction: "My darlings, you're amazing! That's probably what the poet was trying to express. So, my four little darlings, you must remember that we women don't have to depend on men to survive. We must strive to be good women, improve our own abilities, and only when our beloved appears will we be qualified to stand with them in this world, weathering the storms and enjoying the sunshine after the rain. When we can stand tall and straight, those shorter than us won't have the right to share the storms and sunshine with us. Do you understand what I mean?"
The four sisters nodded in unison.
Gu Shouxin, who was driving outside, smiled slightly. After listening to the poem, he understood its meaning.
His love for Xiaolian is precisely because Xiaolian is just like the one described in the poem.
Some men may prefer a girl who is petite and needs him to protect her from the wind and rain.
But he just liked Xiaolian's kind of spiritedness, which was unique and beautiful.
Yes, his future sons-in-law and nephews-in-law must do this, otherwise they can forget about marrying his Gu family's daughter!
...
On the way home, I visited the newly purchased estate again.
Four sixteen-year-old maids were chosen to go home with the sisters. The sisters planned to train these girls slowly, so that they would be in charge of managing the perfumes and other perfumes on the estate and teaching others.
For convenience, we gave them names with the first character in their names: Yi Ping, Yi An, Yi Xi, and Yi Le.
The four maids, whose names begin with "first," were flattered when Gu Nian explained what they would be doing in the future. They had thought that after being sold, they would be serving others, but they never expected that they would be taught things.
All four of them signed a life-or-death contract. From the moment their parents pressed their fingerprints on the contract and received the money, they no longer had a home of their own.
Dahuang and Xiaolv almost exclusively chose servants with fixed contracts. They didn't want any with flexible contracts. The Gu family was in business, and they even had recipes. Who would dare to take servants with flexible contracts?
The carriage turned a corner from Zhoujia Town and went to the village behind the mountain to drop off the four people. It then asked Madam Meng to arrange their accommodations, and they would come to work from the back mountain every day thereafter.
This daily round trip takes a lot of time, but it's also good exercise. The Gu family doesn't need maids yet; they'll need to use the jade beads to grow things after Empress Dowager Jiang returns to the capital.
They had no intention of letting anyone in the old house know about the existence of the jade beads, let alone the maids.
Gu Shouxin ran into Lu Zheng at the Zhou family's door in town. Lu Zheng was talking to Master Zhou at the door. When Gu Shouxin saw this, he stopped the car. If he didn't stop, his daughter would call out to him soon. It was better to stop so that Lu Zheng wouldn't think that his daughter only had eyes for him.
"Uncle Zhou." Gu Shouxin got out of the car and greeted the person.
"Second son! Where have you been?" the round-faced Master Zhou asked with a smile.
“I went to the prefectural city. I saw A-Yuan there, so I stopped to ask him if he wanted to go back,” Gu Shouxin said.
"Second Uncle, you've come at just the right time! I was just worried about having to walk back! Hehe." Lu Zheng laughed.
“Then Yuanyuan, you should go back with your second uncle! Remember to tell your Grandpa Gu that the flowers I asked someone to buy from Jiangnan have arrived, but it's inconvenient for me to go there. Tell him to come and pick them up when he has time!” said Master Zhou.
