After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 214 Gossip
If we say that Gu Ruotong was like an inconspicuous little flower and grass in the past, hiding all her light.

In just a few months, the flowers had fully bloomed, and she was no longer as silent as before, and she was already able to let others quickly discover her beauty.

Fifteen or sixteen years old is the most beautiful age of the so-called ancient women.

"I heard that you are going to be engaged. Do you have anything to say about this matter?"

Su Xiaomu quietly walked to her side, and after glancing at Gu Ruonan, he pulled Gu Ruotong out.

The two went to the corridor, Su Xiaomu held her hand, looked at Gu Ruotong's dazed expression, and asked with concern: "I have already asked my sister-in-law about this matter, and she said you know it too, and she plans to meet that scholar during the Chinese New Year." is it?"

"Yes." Gu Ruotong was a little embarrassed when she heard Su Xiaomu tell her about this, she twisted the handkerchief in her hand, "If everything goes well, the marriage should be completed after the Chinese New Year."

"But are you sincere? Do you really want to marry out so early, marry someone you don't like at all, and you haven't even met a few times?"

It's not that Su Xiaomu has to take care of other people's feelings, it's because she discovered that she really doesn't want Gu Ruotong to spend the rest of her life in a daze.

Especially when she saw her, she would think of the way Gu Ruotong told her to learn to settle accounts a few months ago.

"But isn't everyone like this? Parents' orders, matchmaker's words, whether we have met each other... My mother said that she would find a chance to take me to see him, isn't that already good?"

Gu Ruotong's whole head is now thinking together, but he doesn't understand why Su Xiaomu would ask her this question?
Everyone came here like this, including her mother who was with his father at the time, and someone in the village introduced the two to get married.

As for whether you are really not sincere, it doesn't matter, right?
A husband and wife don't necessarily have to like each other to live a life, perhaps more importantly, as long as the other party is willing to treat you well.

Su Xiaomu looked at Gu Ruotong, the little girl's round eyes revealed confusion.

Hey... She also sighed in her heart again.

I think she really asked this question too much.

Even if Gu Ruotong is fifteen or sixteen years old, he is just a child who doesn't understand anything in this era.

Even if you have reached the stage of getting married, you just regard what your parents say as the golden rule, so how can you have any thoughts of your own?
In line with the life philosophy of being a good person to the end and sending Buddha to the west, Su Xiaomu patiently told her the skills of looking at men.

Although she doesn't have any practical experience in these things, can she never watch a pig run if she hasn't eaten pork?
These are the classic knowledge summed up by modern women.

"I don't know how to tell you anything else. If your parents take you to see that man in the next year, you must remember to see if he puts his mother's words first in everything and whether he solves the problem. Think about solving it with strength first, you have to pay attention to how he gets along with you, and you must remember that when you get along with a husband and wife, you must respect and love each other, you are his wife, not his servant, understand?"

Su Xiaomu told Gu Ruotong many ways to get along with each other continuously, but Su Xiaomu told Gu Ruotong everything she could think of now.

Although they are all theories, she has not practiced them herself, but she still hopes to have some effect.

"I know what the third aunt said later. Of course, husband and wife should respect each other, so..." Gu Ruotong pulled Su Xiaomu's sleeves curiously, and asked Su Xiaomu with glowing eyes, "So the third aunt and third uncle are also like this. ? When you were with third uncle, did you think about him like this? "

Gu Ruotong is very envious of Su Xiaomu in her heart. She has a face that makes people feel very comfortable just by looking at her. When she talks to others, she is also very friendly and forceful, as if no problem is a problem in front of her.

Gu Ruotong hid her envious eyes, and she said, "Third Uncle seems to have changed a bit when I came back this time. Although I just met him at the door just now, I always feel that he has a lot of fireworks. Not as indifferent as before."

"Your third uncle?" Su Xiaomu didn't expect that the topic would turn to herself later, so she laughed awkwardly.

"Maybe I learned it from his wife in Fucheng. In fact, if there is a chance, you should go to Fucheng with us to stay. That place is very good. No one will ask you whether you are married anytime and anywhere. They just concentrate on staying in Fucheng. Do your own thing."

Su Xiaomu admitted that she was suspected of fabricating, but she really felt that Gu Ruotong should not have married so early in her heart.

If that man couldn't make her think of not marrying, maybe the temptation outside?
Since Gu Ruotong wanted to learn account books before, there was no reason why he didn't want to go to Fucheng to see the world.

"Go to Fucheng..." Gu Ruotong suddenly suppressed the smile on her face, she lowered her eyes, and bit her lips with her white teeth.

"It's great to be able to go to Fucheng...but not everyone can go to Fucheng casually, right? Third Aunt and Third Uncle are going to study and do business. I'll go...I can't cause you any trouble."

"Ruotong..." Su Xiaomu still didn't give up, "Maybe it's just for fun..."

"I know Third Aunt is doing it for my own good, but I really can't just cause trouble for you. In the next year... even if Ruotong doesn't marry a scholar, she will marry someone else, and a scholar is already the best choice." .”

"Ok."

Seeing that she already had an idea in her heart, Su Xiaomu couldn't keep persuading her, so she stood silently with Gu Ruotong under the eaves.

-

The New Year's Eve is the most flavorful day of the year, and it is also the most cherished day for all the Gu family.

Everyone got up early, and Mrs. Li and her two sister-in-laws put the sesame straws prepared in advance on the door frame and window sill, and everyone stood behind the door frame and window sill, chanting together "Hidden ghost straws are not allowed to come out".

After reading, the sesame stalks were removed from the door frame and window sill, and scattered from the entrance of the hall to the entrance of the gate, and the whole family trampled on it back and forth, which is called "stepping on the year".

"It's our custom here to step on the new year. This is the first time for Xiaomu to celebrate the New Year with us. Some things may not be well understood, but it doesn't matter. After this year is over, and it will be like this every year, you will gradually know it."

Mrs. Li pulled Su Xiaomu to talk non-stop, her face was full of joy.

"it is good!"

Su Xiaomu nodded. Looking at the sesame straws all over the floor, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Is this the taste of the year?

Is it the taste of the New Year that modern people have not felt for a long, long time?

If so, it's a really hard to describe...happy feeling.
