After spending so many days together, Gu Nian's cooking skills are recognized by the whole family as excellent!
This threat is effective.
Gu Shouxin immediately changed his tune: "That brat, how could he be worthy of my Niannian!"
Cai Xiaolian nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, my Niannian can chop vegetables and cook with a kitchen knife, and she can also wield it to fight monsters. That brat can't do that!"
Gu Xin looked at her father, then at her mother, and finally at Gu Nian, hesitatingly saying, "But sister, I think Young Master Zhou is quite handsome, and his kung fu is pretty good too. Sister, you'll be..."
"Gu Xin!" Gu Nian interrupted before anyone could finish speaking, "Are you not used to me not bullying you lately? If you say that again, I'll make sure you don't eat anymore and send you to eat with your grandparents and aunt!"
Gu Xin obediently shut her mouth and shook her head.
"That's a good girl!" Gu Nian immediately smiled again, then touched Gu Xin's little tuft of hair and said, "Xin Xin, let me tell you, your future brother-in-law must be handsome and talented, at least a top scholar!"
Gu Nian felt that even though she had earned a doctorate in modern times and hadn't graduated yet, she couldn't lower her standards for a partner.
When it comes to marriage, it's important to be well-matched in terms of social standing and education. In her case, "well-matched in terms of social standing and education" doesn't refer to wealth and status, but rather to education and knowledge.
Even though women in this world cannot participate in the imperial examinations, it does not prevent them from finding a cultured man.
She is not against marriage at all.
If you meet the right person at the right age, you can get married naturally.
In her view, one could get married at fifteen, but her idea was that it had to be after twenty, at least eighteen, no lower.
“Yes, yes, I believe in you, sister. You’ll definitely find a top scholar as your husband! Sister, isn’t a top scholar the best student?” Gu Xin nodded sincerely and then asked.
"Pretty much! And Xin Xin, stop listening to those gossipy women in the village, they're corrupting you. How old are you? And they're already playing matchmaker!" Gu Nian nodded and then gave her some instructions.
Gu Xin pursed her lips, somewhat disagreeing with Gu Nian's words: "Sister, I'll be eleven years old this year, I'm not little anymore, I'm going to grow from a little girl into a big girl!"
“Yes, yes, our Xinxin is going to grow up! But a young lady can’t listen to gossip! She can’t imitate what they say, understand?” Gu Nian said.
“From now on, I’ll follow you, sister! Wherever you go, I’ll go; whatever you listen to, I’ll listen to!” Gu Xin hugged Gu Nian’s arm and leaned on her shoulder.
She is a very obedient child, but her family didn't take care of her before.
Her family doesn't interfere with her studies, but her grandparents still reason with her, so she hasn't learned anything bad yet.
When the family returned home and opened the door, Gu Nian ran to the well and, while washing her hands, threw a jade bead into the well.
Their family is starting a business and needs chili peppers, so they need to make the chili peppers grow quickly.
She had already thought it through: from now on, she would throw in one more jade bead every day. That way, if it took three days to harvest, wouldn't it become a two-day harvest?
"Xinxin, are we going to your grandparents' place?" Gu Shouxin asked after he had brought all the things in.
"Go! Dad, wait for me!" Gu Xin quickly wiped her hands and followed.
Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian were at home preparing dinner.
"Second brother, Mother was just about to send me over to call you! Someone in the village just saw you come back." As soon as he stepped outside, he ran into Gu Laosi.
