"Sister Jintang, you are so beautiful that even a prince's son would marry you."
"But I can't. If I don't marry cousin Ziqiu, my grandmother will probably make me marry someone else to fill the house for the sake of the family."
As he spoke, Gu Wan'er fell to his knees on the ground with a plop.
Ye Jintang was dumbfounded. What kind of trouble was this?
"Cousin, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
"As long as you promise not to marry cousin Ziqiu, I will get up."
Good guy, this is a threat.
"If you don't want to get up, then just kneel down."
Ye Jintang ignored Gu Wan'er, turned around and left.
Now it was Gu Wan'er's turn to be stunned. She thought that Ye Jintang was young and thin-skinned. If she knelt down like this, she would definitely agree to anything.
As a result, Ye Jintang didn't accept this trick at all.
"Cousin, don't leave."
When Gu Wan'er saw Ye Jintang leaving, he stopped kneeling and immediately stood up to follow him.
She didn't care whether Ye Jintang listened or not, he kept crying beside her.
"My father is incompetent. He can't study or do business. My grandmother has the final say in everything in the family."
"Grandma said I am smart, and the Gu family can only rely on me in the future."
"But I know that my grandmother loves my brother the most. She wants me to marry high so that I can support my brother in the future."
"Our Gu family is not a famous family. If you want to marry high, there is no chance of a good marriage. Now I just hope that cousin Ziqiu can marry me. He is my only way out."
Ye Jintang didn't answer Gu Wan'er's words, but after listening to her chattering for a long time, she came to her senses.
Gu Wan'er has been testing her from the beginning of their relationship.
When they met just now, she gave her a blow. If she had a weak personality, she would definitely be frightened.
She couldn't succeed, so she pretended to be pitiful.
She didn't like to cause trouble. They could just settle the matter between Gu Wan'er and Wen Ziqiu themselves. She didn't want to get involved in this muddy water.
Ye Jintang suddenly stopped and turned to look at Gu Wan'er.
"Don't follow me. I never thought about marrying cousin Ziqiu. I just told you on purpose to make you angry. I will go to the capital in a few days."
"ah?"
Seeing the surprise on Gu Wan'er's face, Ye Jintang suddenly felt that she was a little pitiful because she had to put so much thought into her marriage at such a young age.
Inexplicably, Ye Jintang thought of King Qin. She was very satisfied with this marriage. If King Qin died, she would be free from now on.
Ye Jintang didn't wait for Gu Wan'er to react and strode forward, not wanting to be entangled by her again.
Unfortunately, she didn't seem to know that Ye Jintang wanted to get rid of her, and she chased him directly to Ye Jintang's small courtyard after a while.
"My cousin made you laugh, please don't be angry."
With that said, Gu Wan'er stepped forward to give Ye Jintang a blessing ceremony.
Gu Wan'er, who was crying just now, now looks like a lady among everyone, and apologizes to Ye Jintang very gently.
A daughter of a scholar has such a thoughtful mind, Ye Jintang has some expectations for the people in the Danyang Marquis Mansion.
Those girls and ladies living in the inner courtyard of the back house don't know if each of them has eight hundred ideas.
"Cousin, please don't be angry with me. I had no choice but to do this."
"I'm a little curious, does cousin Ziqiu like you?"
Ye Jintang picked up the osmanthus tea on the table and took a sip. She had been with Wen Ziqiu for so long, but she had never heard him mention that he had a favorite woman.
"The marriage between the two families was decided by the matchmaker. It doesn't matter whether cousin Ziqiu likes me or not. I only want the position of Mrs. Wen."
Knowing that Ye Jintang would not marry Wen Ziqiu, Gu Wan'er was obviously not so hostile to Ye Jintang.
She sat opposite Ye Jintang and asked with some confusion, "Why doesn't my sister want to marry cousin Ziqiu? If you go back to Danyang Houfu, you may end up becoming a pawn for Danyang Houfu to win over others."
"My cousin sees things clearly."
"As you can guess, it is more difficult for a noble girl from a wealthy family who has no parents to pity her than for a girl from a small family like us."
"I have my own plans, but you can rest assured that I won't compete with you for cousin Ziqiu."
"Thanks."
Gu Wan'er sat at Ye Jintang's place for a while, and the nanny in the front yard came over to invite her.
Ye Jintang thought she was leaving, but he didn't expect that she would actually stay and live in the small courtyard next to hers.
"Let your cousin stay with you here, and you'll have company too."
Mr. Wen specially called Ye Jintang to his study to talk about this matter.
Ye Jintang, a little girl, could no longer be allowed to stay alone in the backyard all day long.
"Grandpa makes all the decisions."
"Wan'er is also a poor person, you should get closer to her more."
Mr. Wen knew that Ye Jintang had less trouble at home after his experience, so he took this opportunity to ask Gu Wan'er to tell her more about how to get along with girls at home.
"good."
Ye Jintang said yes, but in his heart he didn't like seeing her very much.
A little girl has so many scheming thoughts and it's too tiring to get along with her. She still likes stupid girls like Lv Zhu and Forsythia.
The weather is getting colder, and getting up early every day has become the most painful thing for Ye Jintang.
"Girl, we agreed yesterday that we would get up early to practice Baduanjin together today. I have already had breakfast. How can I not pay back the girl?"
Ye Jintang pulled the warm quilt and turned over, saying in a muffled voice, "I'm not awake yet, let me sleep a little longer."
"The day's plan begins in the morning. Girls can't waste the good time in the morning. Let's practice a section of Ba Duan Jin together to ensure that the girl feels refreshed."
Ye Jintang wanted to stay in bed, but Liuli's nagging didn't give her this chance at all.
In the end, Ye Jintang was confused and could only practice Baduanjin with her.
When Wen Ziqiu heard that Ye Jintang was exercising so diligently, he specially sent her a training suit.
After hearing about it, Gu Wan'er, who lived next door, also came over to practice Baduanjin with Ye Jintang.
She also grew up in the back house, and her body and bones were not much better than Ye Jintang's.
After two days in a row, she fell down from exhaustion.
Moreover, Wen Ziqiu didn't give her training clothes, which was even more depressing.
"Miss Gu worked too hard. In order to attract Mr. Wen's attention, she exhausted herself."
Liuli brought two medical books to Ye Jintang and couldn't help but gossip about Gu Wan'er.
"You can see what my cousin is thinking. How could someone as smart as cousin Ziqiu not know this? Why do you think my cousin didn't react at all?"
Taking the medical book from Liuli's hand, Ye Jintang began to read it slowly.
After seeing Liuli's amazing face-changing skills, Ye Jintang came up with the idea of studying medicine with her.
At this moment Liuli brought the medical books, just to teach Ye Jintang how to recognize medicinal materials.
"No way. If Mr. Wen doesn't like Miss Gu, then the two of them forcefully get together. That's not a marriage, it's a feud."
"Stop gossiping and help me quickly find out how to read and memorize these two medical books."
Ye Jintang was also a medical student back then, but he studied Western medicine and had nothing to do with Chinese medicine.
Looking at the names of various medicinal materials in the medical books, she was confused and didn't know where to start.
