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

At daybreak, several of Uncle Liu's sons were already waiting at the door of Guo Xin's house.

As soon as they saw Guo Xin and Guo Ruo coming out, they stepped forward to greet them and said, "Let us drive the carriage today. You just sit inside and don't have to bother with these trivial matters."

Before coming here, mother told them that it was thanks to their ancestors that they had this opportunity, and now that they have this opportunity, they must take good care of the Guo Ru sisters and not let them feel uncomfortable in the slightest.

However, the carriage in front of them was not big, and it seemed that it only needed two people to drive it. It was impossible for the four brothers to drive for Guo Ruo and his partner. Brother Liu said, "How about I drive for you, and the three of them can take the ox cart to the city?"

Guo Xin looked at the Liu brothers who were obviously taller than the carriage. She wanted to ask two of them to get into the carriage with them, but she stopped talking and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Liu. We are going directly to Suining City. Do you know the way?"

Guo Xin looked at the four brothers of the Liu family, and when they nodded, he and Guo Ruo got into the carriage.

As for the affairs of the workshop in the village, they were temporarily handed over to Aunt Guo to help take care of. Although she didn't know how to do the accounting, she could still simply maintain the original order and records. Therefore, Guo Ruo safely handed over the workshop to her.

The carriage slowly moved forward towards the direction of Suining City. Brother Liu started the conversation by saying, "Xin'er, I heard that you changed the name of your fourth brother some time ago. Can you change one for me as well?"

Guo Xin said with a smile: "Brother Liu, you already have a wife and a baby, why are you still changing the name at the last minute?"

Brother Liu said embarrassedly: "I think I will be the manager of the workshop in the future, so it's not good to call myself this."

"Your name is Liu Zuo, how about that? Liu You's pronunciation is the same as "you", and you are just the opposite, which means that you two brothers support each other."

When Brother Liu heard this, he was so happy that he whipped the horse harder. The horse ran faster in pain. He said, "What a good name! I will be called Liu Zuo from now on."

……

As soon as Guo Xin arrived in Suining City, he asked Liu You and Liu Zuo to live in the wing of the hot pot restaurant, while he took his eldest sister back to the newly bought house in the city.

The house is located next to the downtown area, in a quiet alley in the bustling city. Surrounding it are the residences of the gentlemen of the academy, who are very kind. As soon as you enter the alley, you will see bamboos planted on both sides, which are tough and upright.

The alley was very narrow and the carriage could not enter, so Guo Xin's carriage could only be parked in the hot pot restaurant.

An old lady saw Guo Xin and Guo Ruo coming in and greeted them, "Young lady, I made some cakes today. They smell delicious. Come and get some when you are done!"

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he continued, "Yesterday when you were not here, a noble-looking young man came with a guard and a servant to knock on your door. However, he did not see you come out for a long time, so he waited at the door."

"It's already dark, and he's still waiting there, so I took the initiative to tell him that you haven't been home recently, and asked him to come back in a few days. But I didn't see the young master today, so I wonder if he will come to see you again?"

Guo Xin turned around and thanked him, "Thank you, grandma. Let's ignore that young master for now. If he has something important to do, he will come to visit again. I have always been craving the cakes you make."

After that, he introduced: "This is my elder sister. She will live here with me in the future."

Listening to the introduction of the neighbor grandma, she didn't know who she was. Since her hot pot restaurant became a unique one in Suining City, different people would visit every few days. As a result, she also got to know many dignitaries. If she wanted to open a new store in the future, it would be a great help.

The old woman smiled and said, "So it's your elder sister. No wonder she is so pretty, fair-skinned and beautiful. It can be said that this is the first time in my life that I have seen such a pretty young lady. The young lady of the official family may be slightly inferior to your elder sister."

Looking at Guo Ruo, he hesitated and said, "I wonder if your sister is still married. If not, my grandson is not bad. He just passed the examination and became a scholar~"

Guo Ruo blushed and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No need. I have to take care of my brothers and sisters at home first. It's not easy to find one first."

The old lady looked at Guo Ruo's appearance and thought that such a girl would be easy to marry at any time, but her grandson couldn't wait any longer, so she said with a look of regret, "Then...if you want to find someone, come find me anytime."

Guo Ruo pulled Guo Xin into the courtyard, initially just to avoid being asked questions by the old lady, but as soon as they came in, they were a little scared by the scene in front of them.

When she walked into the alley, she saw that it was so narrow, so she thought the yard would also be small.

As soon as you enter the yard, what catches your eye is a large screen wall with a circular stone wall in the middle, on which are carved lifelike geese.

Go around the screen wall, walk into the yard, and go to the right, there is a row of back houses. The rightmost half is the servants' residence. However, there are not many people in this yard now, and there are not many people who need to serve and clean, so there are only four women living here, who all help with cleaning.

The leftmost half is used for entertaining guests. There is a large wooden table with two chairs next to it. Going down further, there are three stools neatly placed on each side.

After passing through the hanging flower gate, you will see where the owner lives.

Opposite the hanging flower gate is the main house, where Guo Ruo and Guo Xin live. It should have been occupied by their elders, but they had no elders, so they separated two small rooms in the main house and connected the side rooms, giving each of them half.

There are corridors on both sides of the hanging flower gate, connecting the east and west wing rooms, so there is no need to worry even in rainy or snowy weather.

The residence in the east wing is occupied by Guo Xi, and the residence in the west wing is occupied by Guo Zhi. This continues the direction of the village to avoid the two of them fighting over this.

A large open space in the middle is also planted with a lot of flowers and plants, making the whole courtyard full of vitality.

Guo Ruo was stunned when she saw the yard. This was Suining City, not a village. She didn't know how much money it would cost to have such a large and exquisite two-story courtyard. But now she knew that her second sister had made a lot of money, so she didn't need to care so much.

Seeing that Guo Ruo hadn't said anything, Guo Xin asked, "Sister, what do you think of this? Is it good?"

She had spent a long time choosing this yard. The price, location and size were all very suitable. However, due to time constraints, she had never brought them to see it.

Guo Ruo hugged Guo Xin and said in a daze, "Second sister, you have worked so hard. We now have such a big mansion in Suining City. It is really because of your parents' blessing that you suddenly have so many talents. You must offer more incense to your parents in the future so that they can live well over there."
