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

At the hour of Chen, the bustling village returned to silence, and people who stayed up all night returned to their homes for a nap after paying New Year's greetings.

Uncle Liu and his family, who had come to Guo Xin's house at midnight, also returned home. Guo Xin and his three friends had breakfast and then returned to their respective rooms to sleep.

Guo Zhi lay in bed, sleeping and waking up, waking up and sleeping again, and her sleep was uneasy. At noon, she got out of bed, quietly walked to Guo Ruo's room, and knocked on the door gently, for fear of waking up Guo Xin and Guo Xi.

Fortunately, Guo Ruo was not very sensitive. After hearing the sound that sounded like a knock on the door, he slowly got up and opened the door. Seeing that Guo Zhi's eyes were dark, he quickly let her in.

"What's wrong with you?" Guo Ruo asked with concern.

"Sister, I can't sleep."

Guo Ruo and Guo Zhi were lying on the bed, looking at the empty ceiling.

"Sister, I want to talk to you about some private matters."

Guo Ruo smiled slightly, turned around, and said gently: "You talk, sister is listening."

Guo Zhi also turned around and met Guo Ruo's eyes.

Looking at the eldest sister in front of her, she felt very close to her. She thought about it for a long time on her bed before coming here, not knowing whether she should talk to her second sister or her eldest sister.

The second sister's personality has changed since she received the guidance of the immortal. She is no longer as open to her as before, but she can lead the family to a better life and can go to school herself. She is very smart and far-sighted.

Normally, although the second sister was very gentle to them and loved her very much, there was always a sense of alienation in her gentleness, and a sense of love that made people feel as if they were seeing another person through her, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

So after much thought, I decided to talk to my eldest sister, who has always been very gentle, rather than my second sister, with whom I used to talk about everything.

"Sister, I was also inexplicably targeted in the academy. My embroidery, which I had been working on for a long time, was cut into a big hole by a classmate."

Before she finished her words, Guo Ruo shook Guo Zhi's hand in panic and asked anxiously, "Are you injured? Have you told the teachers in the academy?"

"I told my husband, but he never found those people, so I had to give up. My husband told me to be more careful in the future. If I can't handle it, I can go look for her again."

Guo Ru nodded with confidence and said, "Then why can't you sleep? Hasn't this matter been resolved?"

Guo Zhi hesitated for a long time and whispered, "Sister, do you know what it feels like to like someone?"

Guo Ruo blinked and looked at Guo Zhi. It seemed like she had met someone she liked?

"Maybe?"

"Sister, I seem to have fallen in love with a man recently."

"Do I recognize him?"

Guo Zhi bit her lip, hesitating whether to tell Guo Ruo who this person was.

After a while, he said, "I know him. It's Brother Tiezhu."

"Tiezhu!?" Guo Ruo always knew that Liu Tiezhu and Guo Zhi were very close, but he seemed to be always nice to others, so he just thought that Tiezhu was a kind person and had no other thoughts.

I just never thought that Guo Zhi would have such thoughts about Tie Zhu, but I still have to ask clearly, "Why do you think you like him?"

"Well... I'm very happy to see him. I think of him when I'm studying in the academy. Sometimes I think of him when I'm eating or have nothing to do. I read in the storybook that this is what love is."

"Puchi, my Zhi'er also has someone she likes~"

Guo Ruo felt that he really liked what he said, but she herself didn't know what true love was. After all, it seemed that the only person who made her heart beat seemed to be Pei Yuan, and he was an unattainable nobleman, and she didn't know where her future marriage would be...

If it really doesn't work, it would be nice to just be the head of the family and not get married, or Xiner's idea of ​​marrying a son-in-law is also feasible.

"Sister, please don't make fun of me. I'm serious. If I really like Tiezhu, can I be with him in the future?"

"After all, our lives are gradually becoming more affluent, and I am also educated. Guo Xi may even pass the imperial examinations in the future. Can I really marry Tie Zhu?"

Guo Zhi also has her own thoughts.

As the time spent studying in the academy increased, and as I learned more and more knowledge, most of the friends I made were daughters of high-ranking officials or slightly wealthier girls, and my family also gradually became wealthier.

Although Tiezhu's family's life has gradually become less difficult with the help of his second sister, there is still a big difference between this and becoming wealthy.

If this is the case, do he and I still have a future?

"The future? What do you think constitutes the future? A good match? A family marriage?" Guo Ruo chuckled.

He added: "Perhaps you won't be together in the future, but now you are childhood sweethearts, helping each other and sharing your hearts from time to time. Your concepts are not much different, right?"

Guo Ruo looked at the little sister in front of him and sighed deeply: if even Zhier was unwilling to marry someone she knew and accompanied because of the gap in social status, then is there really any marriage across social status gaps in this world?

What's more, Zhier's current status is not much different from that of Uncle Liu's family. It's just that her family is rich now, and there are no royal merchants or officials in the clan.

Guo Zhi responded softly, maybe she should be more open-minded. Brother Tiezhu had talked to her a lot last night. It's not that she has not made any progress. She is also growing and learning knowledge.

She didn't have to worry about her family looking down on Tiezhu's family. After all, her second sister had always been very open-minded and loved her very much. If she had any requests, her second sister would be able to do it for her.

My elder sister also supports me, so I don’t need to worry so much about the future.

……

At 3 p.m., Guo Xin was about to call Guo Zhi and others to get up. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw that Guo Zhi's door was already open. He was a little surprised. When did Guo Zhi become so diligent?

Just as he was about to wake everyone up, he saw Guo Zhi and Guo Ruo coming out of a room and asked, "Why are you sleeping together?"

"It's nothing. Zhier just wanted to talk to me, so she came to my room to chat for a while." Guo Ruo said.

Guo Xin felt a little jealous when she heard this. She loved Guo Zhi so much, but she didn't talk to her but went to talk to her elder sister instead. She was really heartless. But she was not very angry. After all, she was her elder sister, so it was nothing.

But he still said jokingly: "Oh~ You forgot about your second sister. I love you so much."

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the kitchen pretending to be angry.

Seeing this, Guo Zhi hurriedly chased after him and said, "Sister, I didn't mean to avoid chatting with you. It's just that I haven't slept with you for a long time, and I suddenly missed you."

Guo Xi, who was watching the fun from the side, didn't mind making things worse, and chimed in: "Even if Second Sister doesn't like me that much, I will always tell her my true feelings. You actually didn't tell Second Sister, you really are~"

Seeing that Guo Xin was not really angry, Guo Zhi turned around and started arguing with Guo Xi, which was quite lively.
