“That’s right, Sister Xin, you’ve forgotten Aunt Xiaohuan!” Gu Si patted Gu Xin.
Gu Xin frowned. It seemed so, but she was worried about her sister!
"Su Yan, is your cousin's family situation complicated? For example, does your uncle have any concubines? What's your aunt like?" Gu Nian asked again.
"Niannian, you really have your eye on General Yan? Why are you asking so clearly?" Li Han asked in surprise.
Moreover, she admires Gu Nian's approach: if she likes someone, she should just say so, ask directly, and then go after them herself.
Unlike her sisters in the Li family, who had to listen to their mother in everything.
The Gu family also has four sisters, and the Li family also has four sisters, so why are they different?
Oh, the Gu sisters have a good father, but they don't.
Li Han was envious.
"Speaking of my uncle and aunt, they were definitely the best choice for in-laws. My uncle was a kind man, holding a minor post in the imperial court, whose hobbies were gardening, raising birds, and fishing. My aunt used to be a peasant girl. When my uncle was young, she rescued him when he went into the mountains to find rare herbs. During his recovery, the two developed feelings for each other. Then my uncle returned to the capital, was beaten by my maternal grandfather, and locked in the Buddhist hall by my maternal grandmother for a few days, but he still insisted on marrying my aunt. In the end, we had no choice but to let him marry her."
“My maternal grandfather was also a soldier. He only had two children, my uncle and my mother. After my uncle married my aunt, she gave birth to three sons in a row, and life became a little better. Although there was a wicked mother-in-law, my sister-in-law was not wicked. My mother and my aunt had a very good relationship. My eldest cousin was raised and taught by my maternal grandfather from a young age, so he has a lot of skills.”
"My second cousin is twenty-one and already married. He passed the imperial examination last year and got married too. My third cousin is nineteen and was sent by my cousin to guard the border city of Da Zhou. My fourth cousin is sixteen and is in poor health, needing to take medicine all year round. My youngest cousin is only ten years old and is still in school. My uncle's family has no concubines. My maternal grandfather passed away when my cousin was thirteen due to a long-standing illness, and my maternal grandmother passed away the year after my cousin went to the battlefield. So, their family is very simple, similar to our family. There are no shady dealings in the inner quarters."
Su Yan briefly explained Yan Mo's family situation to Gu Nian.
Yes, very good! No old lady, no wicked mother-in-law, no sister-in-law, and the father-in-law is still a carefree, devoted lover—this is hereditary. Perfect!
Gu Nian was very satisfied with this.
"Gu Nian, are you really planning to go for it? Well, I've already told my mom and aunt that there's another girl who doesn't believe in superstitions, and she's really pretty and capable, and she's fallen for my cousin!" Su Yan looked at Gu Nian and asked with a smile.
"Don't tell your elders yet, wait until you've won them over," Gu Nian said, shaking her head.
"Okay, I won't say anything! Go Gu Nian! You must win my cousin over!" Su Yan made a handshake gesture.
"Go for it, Niannian! I believe in you!" Li Han also said.
“Sister Niannian, I support you!” Gu Si also said.
Gu Xin: None of the girls who are going to marry that general are good. What if they don't want to support my sister?
...
The girls changed their clothes on the bus, and after returning to the city, they went to a restaurant. After eating and drinking their fill, they went home.
"Hey, where did you all go today? Xinxin looks unhappy." Grandpa Gu asked with a smile when he saw the sisters.
"Grandpa, my sister is going to be kidnapped!" Gu Xin said aggrievedly.
