The second young lady was more than ten years older than Yi Mu, and when Yi Mu was young, she acted as both his older sister and his mother.
Of the whole family, she had the deepest affection for Yimu.
"Xiao Mu, you too, your older brother is clumsy with words (and also sarcastic), so be more accommodating to him."
Yi Mu gave a perfunctory "uh-huh".
The eldest brother gasped. He hadn't heard his second sister speak up for him in ages; it was like the sun had risen in the west.
The second young lady said this, then sat down and began to inquire about Yi Mu's well-being.
The eldest brother, watching from the side with envy, simply made an excuse to go check if the food in the kitchen was ready, and left the main room wrapped in his coat.
"I have several girls around your age here, all of whom are from top-notch families and are very good-looking."
Come to your second sister's husband's house another day, and I'll introduce you to him.
Yi Mu didn't respond. He seemed to have thought of something, glancing over with a hint of interest in his phoenix eyes.
"Sister, do you know a young lady named Gu Lanjun?"
The second young lady frowned: "Why are you asking her?"
This young lady is not a good match.
Yi Mu handed the peeled melon seeds in his hand to the second young lady, and said ingratiatingly, "Sister, tell me about her. I've heard that this Miss Gu is quite interesting."
Speaking of this second young lady, there's quite a story to tell.
This Miss Gu is the daughter of Gu Cheng, a famous warlord in Beiping.
When Miss Gu was young, she was a well-known talented woman in school. She was not only knowledgeable but also a skilled oil painter.
I heard that Marshal Gu is waiting for his daughter to graduate so he can send her abroad for further studies.
Unexpectedly, during a sketching trip, Miss Gu was kidnapped by that despicable bandit.
Marshal Gu was on the battlefield at the time and had no idea that his beloved daughter was in trouble.
The Gu family was small; Commander Gu had only one daughter and no brothers or sisters.
My cousins were either killed or wounded on the battlefield in their early years, and the women were helpless. For a time, no one dared to go to the bandit's den to rescue them.
The police dared not provoke those reckless bandits, and so Miss Gu stayed in the bandits' den for a full five days.
I don't know how they escaped later.
After that, Miss Gu stopped using paintbrushes and instead used her delicate arms to carry a gun.
Every day, I trained with a group of soldiers in the military camp, ate communal meals together, and even entered the camp where the men slept.
Although it has been seven or eight years since the Republic of China was established, women's thinking is much more open now than it was at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
But the thought of a woman spending all her time with a group of hot-blooded men is enough to make one frown.
Miss Gu has a bad reputation, and matchmakers always skip this outrageous young lady when trying to arrange a marriage.
Yi Mu didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
This Miss Gu is unconventional and has the demeanor of a modern woman.
He dropped a bombshell on his sister: "I'm going to pursue Miss Gu."
Second Miss: "..." This little rascal!
Even when Yi Mu asked Gu Lanjun, she had already guessed that he was going to do something troublesome again.
The Gu family now controls most of the Beiping government's power and is riding high. If they want to find a son-in-law, they will look for someone of the same rank.
Although the Yi family has a large family background, it is still a step behind the Gu family.
Gu Cheng wouldn't be interested in someone like Yi Mu.
Miss Gu Lanjun, with her exceptionally high standards, would never have looked down on a playboy like Yi Mu.
Once the second young lady thought about it that way, she felt relieved.
Let Yi Mu go after him. Once he hits a wall, he'll know to back down and settle down.
A man in his twenties can't keep playing around like this after settling down and starting a family.
