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

Now her hands are covered with greasy dirt. In ancient times, there was no detergent, and everyone used plant ash to wash dishes.

So her hands were oily and black, and they smelled like lard.

"There are indeed more people paying New Year's greetings this year than last year, but it may be because his third uncle is going to Chunwei soon. After two days, our family will have a sister-in-law coming. You haven't seen this sister-in-law yet. Bar."

Because Yin can earn money, he can speak more fluently now than before.

Sister-in-law?
Su Xiaomu had never heard of such a number one person in the Gu family.

"Didn't father and mother only have three sons? How come there are daughters? When I came here before, mother never said that usually..."

Su Xiaomu searched all the memories about the Gu family in his mind to make sure that he remembered correctly.

Sister-in-law... Is it my sister?
"Didn't I say that this little girl is the youngest daughter of my father and mother. She married out a long time ago and hasn't been back for the past two years. I have been to Gu's house for so long, and I saw her in the first two years when I first entered the house."

When Yin shi said this, she lowered her voice and looked around. She didn't see Li shi and Mr. Gu, so she felt relieved to gossip with Su Xiaomu.

"Although this sister-in-law is the only daughter in the family, her parents don't seem to like her very much. She is not very smart. She did a lot of stupid things when she was at home, including her current husband."

Yin Shi seemed to think of some not-so-good memories, and shook her head.

"Her husband's family conditions are much worse than ours, and he messes around and gambles. He can be regarded as a rotten person from all over the world, and she can only look up to him, otherwise that person may not be able to get a wife in his life. No, when he was married back then, although his parents looked down on him, they thought he was the only girl in the family, so he paid a lot of dowry, but he didn't receive a single cent of the dowry."

There was a bit of a burst, Su Xiaomu almost lost the bowl in his hand when he heard such gossip.

Could it be that this sister-in-law who has never met is still a love brain?
Su Xiaomu has developed a lot of interest in her, and really wants to see if this ancient love brain is the same as the modern one?
Since he wanted to watch other people's excitement, Su Xiaomu asked Yin Shi politely: "Then what is the name of this sister-in-law?"

"Gu Shui." Yin returned to Su Xiaomu without raising her head, "Otherwise, how can father and mother choose names? This child is either Shui or Feng, and he is only Third Uncle. It sounds like he is educated. These peasants are different."

Yin's last sentence was very interesting, and Su Xiaomu felt that she didn't mean to allude to Gu Jingcheng, but she simply said something without thinking, and it was a bit ambiguous.

Actually got gossip, Su Xiaomu finally found something for himself in the Gu family.

When returning to the room at night, Su Xiaomu moved a chair and sat in front of Gu Jingcheng without hesitation, and inserted a few topics in the gap between his reading.

"Today I heard from my sister-in-law that you still have a younger sister, and you will come to pay New Year's greetings in two days. Why don't you tell me about your younger sister?"

Su Xiaomu poked his arm with his finger, expressing that he was very interested in this Gu family named Gu Shui.

"And I'm also quite curious, why have you never told me that there is such a number one person in your family?"

Sister, Mrs. Li and Mr. Gu seem to have had four children in total.

Three sons and one daughter, this is a very high match in ordinary rural areas.

After all, this is an era in which sons must be born, and Li Shi still has some skills to be able to have three children in a row.

"Sister-in-law told you?" Gu Jingcheng put down the book in his hand, turned around and looked at Su Xiaomu with raised eyebrows, "Since she told you this, she should have told you that my uncle doesn't like it."

Gu Jingcheng knew that Su Xiaomu loved to gossip, but listening to her gossip and telling her about his family's gossip were really two different things.

What's more, he didn't understand what that younger sister did back then.

Gu Jingcheng's scrutinizing eyes turned on Su Xiaomu's face.

Seeing that her eyes were full of curiosity, staring at him without moving, Gu Jingcheng couldn't help curling his lips: "You really want to know that much?"

"If I don't want to know, I don't have to bother to ask you!"

Su Xiaomu moved the book he had just put down to the side again, this time tugging at a little of his sleeve and shaking it.

"Didn't I think that I might see your younger sister in a few days? It would be embarrassing if I didn't know her when we met. If you know her in advance, you should introduce me to your family."

"Actually, I don't know much."

Gu Jingcheng couldn't resist her, so he told her everything he knew: "I have been studying outside, and my relationship with my brothers and sisters at home is not as good as that of ordinary people. Although she is about my age, she has always been with my second brother Brother has a good relationship, as for that uncle..."

Gu Jingcheng frowned, showing the same expression as Yin's tonight.

It also brings back unpleasant memories.

"That uncle seems to be proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. His family used to have some money, but he squandered it early. Before he knew his sister, he was already penniless. I don't know how the two of them met. Yes, I just know that one time I happened to be taking a rest, and when I came back, I saw my sister kneeling in front of my parents, saying that she was going to marry that uncle."

The disgusted expression on Gu Jingcheng's face was undisguised, and Su Xiaomu could probably guess that he hated that brother-in-law very much.

Then continue to listen carefully to what he said.

"My younger sister must marry, and even told my parents that if my parents don't agree with her marrying that person, she will go directly to his house and become a concubine. Of course, my parents don't want her to do such a humiliating thing." , but at that time, I think they were thinking more about me, after all, studying is important for reputation, and I don't want to block my official career because of my sister."

Gu Jingcheng's tone was heavy, and he seemed to be thinking deeply.

"Their marriage was very simple. They didn't even invite a few tables of guests, and there were few people in the village. Except for a few families close to us, no one knew who my sister was marrying."

Gu Jingcheng never had much affection for his family members.

But after all, she is the younger sister who grew up with him, and now he can't help but feel a little embarrassed when he thinks of marrying such a bastard in the end.

But after Su Xiaomu listened to all the stories from him, he didn't quite understand why they, who are elder brothers and parents, would follow that sister-in-law's wishes, and on the premise that they knew that person was a pit of fire, they would still How about letting my sister-in-law marry?
Su Xiaomu's face was full of doubts, and he really couldn't figure this out in his heart.
