The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny

"Yes, the youngest son of the landlord Wu in Wujia Village is only twenty years old, four years older than you. He is just right, don't you think?" The matchmaker spoke excitedly while gesticulating.

"The youngest son of Wujia Village? Is he from the same village as the wife of Mr. Liu's family?"

When Guo Ruozi took the initiative to come to Mr. Liu, he found out the lady's last name. When he heard it now, he realized that the two were from the same village. Could it be that the marriage was revealed by Mrs. Liu?

"Oh, you are worthy of being the daughter of the Guo family. You are so smart!" The matchmaker waved her hands exaggeratedly and said, "They are not only from the same village, but Mrs. Liu's cousin is Young Master Wu."

Guo Ruo looked embarrassed. Logically speaking, if she were to live in a poor family in the village at her age, she would have been married long ago. However, her family was much wealthier now, and she didn't want to get married so early.

"Miss Guo, what are you still worried about? Young Master Wu is not only a landlord, his family has many businesses in the county and the town. You will live a life of luxury if you marry him. If I were a few years younger and Young Master Wu liked me, I would have jumped on him a long time ago!"

If Guo Ruo didn't say anything, the person he could not afford to offend the most in the village was the matchmaker. If he rejected the matchmaker, it would be very difficult for him to get married in the future.

Just when I didn't know what to say to politely reject the matchmaker, Guo Xin happened to return home.

"Sister! I'm back. Let's go to the county town tomorrow. I haven't taken care of the tavern for a while." Guo Xin shouted before stepping into the threshold.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a woman in red and green sitting in front of the hall and asked in confusion, "Who is this?"

The woman looked at the little girl in front of her, and thinking of the rumors she had heard yesterday, she said enthusiastically: "You must be Guo Ruo's second sister Guo Xin, right? I am the matchmaker of Wujia Village, and everyone calls me Wu Dahua."

Matchmaker?

It looks like he's trying to find a marriage for my sister, but I don't know if she's willing.

He turned to look at Guo Ruo, and seeing that she looked embarrassed, he made up his mind.

"Aunt Wu, I am the one who makes the decisions in my family now. It's useless for you to ask her about my sister's marriage. You should ask me."

The woman was surprised, she knew that the little girl was the pillar of the Guo family and could earn a lot of money, but she was not the head of the family.

I had no choice but to ask, "Then I wonder what you think about your sister's marriage?"

Hearing the answer she wanted, Guo Xin smiled and shook her head, saying, "Of course not. My elder sister is gentle and virtuous, considerate and lovely, and her appearance is so stunning that it can make fish sink to the bottom of the water and geese fall, and the moon hide in shame. She is also very capable in managing affairs. Wouldn't it be a waste of her talents to marry someone else? My family only recruits sons-in-law!"

"What?! Son-in-law!" When the woman heard this, her eyes widened and her mouth opened.

"Exactly."

Guo Xin walked to the table nearby, picked up a teacup, and poured himself a glass of water. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy. It was great to have money. Now he didn't have to fight over a broken bowl to drink water.

The woman looked at the surroundings and thought that the conditions were not yet met for her to find a son-in-law. In the surrounding area, she had never heard of a woman who would not marry but would find a son-in-law.

The woman said with an unpleasant expression: "Are you joking, young lady?"

"How can you be joking?"

When the woman heard this, she felt so angry that she had to get up and say goodbye, and then she would tell all the matchmakers she was close to.

……

"Xiner, won't this really offend the matchmaker? If so, it will be a lot harder for us three sisters and Xier to find a partner." Guo Ruo said worriedly.

"Sister, don't worry. I have my own arrangements for our family's marriage. Just tell me what you think~" Guo Xin said coquettishly.

She has always been curious about Guo Ruo's thoughts on marriage. Although she has certain ideas about the marriages of the three, she is still not sure where Guo Ruo's heart lies.

"What idea? What idea do I have?"

Guo Ruo blushed. In the past, these things were always decided by her parents and matchmaker. She had no say in them. It was only when her parents encountered an unexpected accident that she had the chance to make the decision herself.

But when it comes to someone I like, there is indeed one.

The image of that day in the small town emerged in her mind: a tall and thin figure in a smart black suit, with a sword on his waist, standing in front of her.

Seeing Guo Ruo's face was as red as a hot pepper, Guo Xin couldn't help but want to tease him. She touched Guo Ruo's face and said, "Oh, why is your face so red and hot!"

As he spoke, he moved his hand to the base of his ear, put his head in front of Guo Ruo's face, and said playfully: "It's red here too, I wonder who you are thinking of?"

"No, really not." Guo Ruo said in a low voice.

Guo Xin couldn't help but come closer and tickle Guo Ruo, and the two of them played around for a while.

Guo Ruo couldn't resist Guo Xin's relentless pressure, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Okay, it's true."

Guo Xin looked smug: "I knew you had it, but you just refused to tell the truth."

Then he asked, "Who is it?"

After a pause, he said, "I promise not to tell anyone else!"

Guo Ruo's mind reappeared the heroic figure of that man. Thinking carefully, he felt that he was far from being able to reach the level of such a man. Although he had a narrow vision, he could see that the clothes and sword were not something that ordinary people could get by spending a few more silver coins.

She sighed, with confusion in her eyes, and said, "Pei Yuan."

Just as he finished speaking, he remembered the day when he introduced his name, his lips opened and closed, and he uttered those beautiful verses. But to this day, he still doesn't know what that verse means.

When Guo Xin heard the name, he also fell silent.

Pei Yuan, Pei family, a town official who would offend Zhang Wu, who has Pei family background, for him, is most likely a direct descendant of Pei family.

It is indeed heart-warming to see a hero saving a beautiful girl. Many women have lost their lives because of this, and my sister is no exception.

Although my family is now running a small business that is thriving, and our lives are getting better day by day, we have renovated the house, sent our younger brothers and sisters to school, built a workshop, and provided some good jobs for people in the village without having to leave home. People in the village envy our family when they see this.

But once compared with the aristocratic families, he is just a person not even worthy of carrying shoes.

Not to mention marrying into a family like that?

But it seems that it is not impossible. If I can become the richest businessman in the dynasty, it is very likely that I can marry into a noble family.

But if that day really comes, I don’t know how old my sister will be. She should be too old to get married.

"Sister, let's not think about him anymore. There will definitely be better men in the future. If you really can't meet the man you like, then he will stay at home and be our anchor and take care of the household affairs!"

"Good~"

Guo Ruo said slowly that she knew that her social status was far different from his and she did not dare to hope to marry him, but if she could see him again, she would be very satisfied.
