Upon hearing this, Du Sanniang was somewhat tempted.
When she was still a young lady in her boudoir, she didn't have two close female friends. Her personality was different from other gentle and refined ladies from Jiangnan. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to resolutely divorce her husband when he took a concubine, even though his entire family was on her side.
She only had two girls she could talk to when she was young. One of them was already married and stayed at home taking care of her husband and children. The two of them would exchange letters a few times a year, but they almost never met in person.
Another one is Shu Yan. Shu Yan has a gentler personality, which is different from Du San Niang, but Du San Niang can accept it. In the past, when attending banquets, she could chat with Shu Yan.
When the news of Shu Yan's accident came, she was heartbroken for a long time. But ten years have passed, and she no longer thinks about him much. Occasionally, when she sees a group of young girls chatting happily, she will think of Shu Yan.
So when she heard that it was Shu Yan, she really wanted to see her.
Du Sanniang thought for a moment and asked, "Is the villa where Yan Yan and the others live far away?"
Gu Xin replied, "It's alright. If the carriage is fast, it will take half an hour; if it's slow, it will take an hour. We're not in the city; we've already left the city."
The man in white held Du Sanniang's hand and said, "How about I go with you now, and we come back later?"
They had both expressed their feelings for each other, and Du Sanniang had accepted Bai Yi. They were even choosing a date to hold their wedding banquet.
Although Du Sanniang was remarried, her parents and brothers were still alive, so she still had to get through this ordeal.
This hurdle should be easy to overcome, since Bai Yi now holds a legitimate position in the court and has as much money as Du San Niang (he has followed Lu Zheng in many battles, his position is high, and he has won a lot of spoils of war, and Lu Zheng will not mistreat him in terms of money). He has never been married and has never had a woman entangled with him.
He's the only child in the family. If I marry him, I won't have to worry about problems between my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, or other relatives.
Most importantly, he treated Du Sanniang well; he revealed all his wealth and gave it all to her.
That alone is something very few people can do.
Therefore, the two were no different from an engaged couple.
Du San Niang felt no embarrassment when the man in white held her hand. After thinking for a moment, she decided to go and take a look.
The two then got up to say goodbye. Apart from the Gu family, only Zheng Qiu was left in the room.
Uncle Gu and Gu Si chatted with Gu Xin about what had happened at home and in the capital during the few days she was away.
Finally, Uncle Gu suddenly asked Fatty Wang, "Xinxin, what are Fatty Wang's plans for the future? Will he still stay with you?"
Gu Xin shook her head: "I don't know either, it's up to him. No matter what he chooses, he's still my friend!"
Uncle Gu then asked, "So, do you think he might be interested in farming?"
Everyone looked at Uncle Gu in surprise.
This is not hard to understand. Uncle Gu wanted to bring people to farm, but this was the first time he had such an idea—to bring someone he had only known for a short time to his land.
You should know that apart from relatives and like-minded people, Uncle Gu is very disdainful of others coming to his land. He only brings the group of people who came with him from Kunzhou, and then teaches another group of people. Only those who have passed his approval are allowed. He looks down on young masters like Fatty Wang.
