Chapter 1331 First Encounter
After Zhuang Sisi took the silver, she kept wiping her tears. Her eldest girl left after all, which made her feel sad. Liu Dashan also felt uncomfortable. Liu Shangen grabbed his mother's clothes. He knew that he would not be able to see his sister anytime and anywhere in the future.
Some are happy and some are sad. Lianyi, as the protagonist of the event, is in a good mood at this time, because Gu Die'er is the person who should be stricken by Xin Yuan in this life. To put it bluntly, she is the destined lover of Xin Yuan's grandson.
When Lianyi saw the other person for the first time, the red rope on her wrist flashed, as if reminding her that her destined person had appeared.
In order to ensure that Xin Yuan Tiansun can successfully meet his destined lover, Lianyi decided to stay by Gu Dieer's side, so that when the two meet, she can help.
Time flies, and eight years have passed in a flash. Lianyi lives like a fish in water in the Gu Mansion. It is mainly because of her arrival that the health of the precious Gu Dieer is getting better and better, and her temperament is becoming more cheerful. Therefore, Mrs. Gu is even kinder to her.
At Lianyi's request, she also learned medical skills on her own, under the pretext of protecting Gu Dieer so that if anyone tried to poison the young lady, she would be able to discover it in time.
Mrs. Gu felt that what Lianyi said made sense. She believed that protecting her daughter required more than just strength, so she allowed Lianyi to learn some medical and toxicology theories from the court physician. Lianyi also showed her amazing talent for learning. It took her only five years to become a master, causing the court physician to call her a genius.
Lianyi then used what she had learned to help Madam Gu diagnose her pregnancy and actively helped her take care of her body, allowing her to give birth to her son, Gu Minglang, as she wished.
This made Lian Yi even more proud in front of Madam Gu. Lian Yi then secretly gave Madam Gu some advice, making Zuo Anci, the son-in-law, impotent and a complete decoration, so that he could only live with his tail between his legs, and let Madam Gu live a more relaxed and comfortable life.
And the little girl Gu Die'er, under Lianyi's care and deliberate cultivation, is developing into a black sesame-filled glutinous rice dumpling. She is smart and knowledgeable, and will not be deceived by a man for some small favors.
In order to desensitize Gu Dieer to the so-called love, Lianyi specially collected some storybooks, telling stories of unfaithful men and the tricks used by men in the world to deceive women in different ways, in order to firmly establish the correct view of love in Gu Dieer.
From time to time, she would drag Gu Die'er to watch live versions of the battle between men and women, which made her deeply understand that so-called love is only one aspect of life and not all of it, and that women must guard their own hearts.
So when Gu Die'er met Xin Yuan because of her frightened horse, she thought for a moment that the other party had deliberately frightened her horse, and then performed such a heroic act to save the beauty, just to leave a good impression on herself.
The story begins before Gu Dieer's coming-of-age ceremony.
Because Gu Die'er was going to hold her coming-of-age ceremony, she was detained in the mansion by Madam Gu to learn the ritual procedures, which made Gu Die'er miserable. Lianyi was only responsible for cheering her on, preparing the medicinal bath in the evening, letting Gu Die'er take a bath, and making sure she was full of energy the next day.
"Lianyi (Mrs. Gu thought Daya didn't sound nice, so she changed her name later), I don't want to take a medicinal bath anymore."
Gu Dier started to act like a rogue.
Lian Yi didn't buy her tricks and said with a raised eyebrow:
"Then don't yell at me when you feel pain all over your body tomorrow."
"Good Ripple, you know I don't want to learn the rules, it's too boring."
Gu Die'er began to act coquettishly while holding Lianyi's arm. The two grew up together. Although they were master and servant, they were as close as sisters.
And because Liu Shangen was very hardworking and just passed the examination for a student this year, Liu Dashan's family took the first step in changing their status and became a family of farmers and scholars.
After receiving the news, Mrs. Gu immediately asked her servants to prepare gifts and send them to the Liu family to congratulate them. She also invalidated the contract signed with Liu Daya and simply invited Lianyi to stay in the Gu Mansion for a while so that she could accompany her eldest daughter.
Lianyi naturally took the opportunity to regain her freedom and lived in the Gu Mansion as Mrs. Gu's adopted daughter, so she spoke much more casually with Gu Die'er after that.
"If you don't want to be tormented, learn it quickly. Once you learn it, Nanny will stop caring about you. If you can't learn it, you and the Gu family will be embarrassed at the coming-of-age ceremony. You'd better think about it.
Besides, after the coming-of-age ceremony, you will have to discuss marriage, so you can’t make any mistakes, as this will affect the rest of your life.”
Lianyi always speaks straight to the point.
"What's the big deal? I can also learn from my mother and find a live-in son-in-law."
"When you thought about this, why didn't you go see your scumbag father?"
Ripple asked, raising an eyebrow.
As soon as she mentioned Gu Die'er's father, she fell silent. In fact, her father was just a idler waiting to die, and she didn't know why her mother fell in love with him in the first place.
"Gu Die'er, you have to remember that you have a younger brother. He can inherit the Gu family. You don't need to find a son-in-law to continue the family line."
Lian Yi added.
"Okay, I'll study hard tomorrow and try to pass Mammy's test, then we can go out and play."
"Okay, I'll tell my wife then and go out with you."
With this agreement, Gu Dieer put a lot of effort into studying the next day. She barely passed the test in the afternoon, and then took Lianyi to find Mrs. Gu and told her that she wanted to go out of town for fun.
Mrs. Gu also knew that her daughter had been detained too much in the past two days, so she nodded and agreed, but asked the two of them to bring more guards and not go too far, just walk around the outskirts of the city. Gu Die'er immediately nodded in agreement.
After breakfast the next day, the two set off in a carriage.
"I heard there's a peach blossom forest on the outskirts of the city. The scenery is very nice. The ladies and wives in the city like to go there. Let's go and join in the fun."
Gu Dier got in the car and started chattering.
"The pretentious young men in the city also like to go there and meet the ladies from various families. You'd better be careful."
Lianyi reminded bluntly.
Gu Dieer immediately said:
"Don't worry, I can still tell whether it's true or false."
When the carriage was out of the city gate and there were fewer people on the road, the driver waved the whip to make the horse go faster.
As a result, halfway through the journey, the horse got frightened for some reason and ran faster and faster, and the driver could not hold the reins.
Lianyi sensed something was wrong and was about to stop the carriage by force, but a dark figure suddenly leaped onto the back of the horse pulling the carriage and pulled the reins to force the horse to stop.
Lian Yi only saw the back and knew that it was Xin Yuan Tiansun. She secretly thought it was bad luck, but she still returned to the carriage and said to Gu Die'er:
"Someone has come to the rescue and has already controlled the frightened horse. You just need to sit still."
"A man?"
"What else?"
"He didn't do it on purpose, did he? Could it be that he scared my horse and took the opportunity to show off in front of us?"
Lianyi felt that her teaching was quite successful. Previously, it was to prevent Gu Dieer from being too naive and being deceived by others before meeting Xin Yuan. Now it seems that because her teaching was too successful, it increased the difficulty for Xin Yuan to pursue his wife.
Gu Die'er saw Lian Yi's strange expression and immediately asked:
"Did I guess right?"
