Quick Wear: True and False Life

Along the way, the atmosphere of the village wedding was not as strong as before, as if mocking this unblessed marriage. The bride should be back by now, and the two sisters of the Gu family took Gu Nan to Shanzi's house to drink wedding wine, and then find a chance to see the bride, why Shanzi was so fascinated by her that he had to marry her regardless of his parents' wishes.

When they arrived, the wedding ceremony had already been completed, so they followed the other female relatives to the outside of the bridal chamber, waiting to see what the bride looked like after the lyrics were finished.

Due to the special nature of this marriage, people were so curious that the house was crowded with people, so crowded that Gu Nan even wanted to retreat.

"Danzhu, Danmu, there are too many people here! Why don't we come back later?"

"Yeah, we can't even squeeze in. Sister, let's go find mom first."

So after the three of them left, Gu Nan went to hang the gift money first, while the Gu sisters went to find Aunt Gu, and then they went their separate ways. Gu Nan found the place in the yard where the gift money was hung, and planned to hang it for the master.

"Uncle Gu, I'll hang the gift money for Master."

"Same as usual, eighteen cents. Is your master going away again?" Village Chief Gu reminded Gu Nan, fearing that Taoist Chang Le had not given detailed instructions.

"The master said he went to visit a friend in the provincial capital." Gu Nan answered as he took out eighteen coins from his cloth bag and handed them to the village chief.

After registering everything, the village chief told Gu Nan to follow Aunt Gu and the others to sit at the table and not to run around, because there were so many people around today and he was afraid she might get lost.

"Go and play!" After giving her the instructions, he grabbed four maltose candies from the wooden plate in front of him and gave them to her.

"Thank you, Uncle Gu." Gu Nan happily took it and left. Gu Nan has always been patient with people who are kind to him. In life, one can see good and evil, encounter them, and make progress. Only by letting go of them can one live long.

After the feast, the three of them heard Aunt Gu was going to deliver food to the bride, so they begged her to take them to see the bride. Aunt Gu thought that the bride would feel more comfortable with young people around, so she handed the tray to Gu Danzhu and asked them to go.

In this way, Gu Danzhu carried the tray and led the two of them to the new house. After arriving, Gu Danzhu knocked on the door.

"Sister-in-law, can I come in?"

"Please come in, the door is not closed." A soft voice came from the room.

The three people outside the door looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally Gu Danmu opened the door and motioned Gu Danzhu to come in with the tray. After the three of them entered, the first thing they saw was a beautiful face, very charming, and coupled with her voice, the first reaction was that she was a vixen. If such a person married into a peasant family, she would be unstoppable with just one word, so it was no wonder that the host family paid money to marry her off.

"Sister-in-law, you must be hungry! Eat something first." Gu Danzhu put down the tray and said as she set the table.

"Thank you! I will eat it." The bride said coquettishly while sitting on the wedding bed.

"Okay, sister-in-law, we'll go out first." Gu Danzhu put away the tray and said casually after hearing the implication of the bride's words.

So the three of them went out, closed the door, and walked out of the yard, all the way in silence. They returned the tray to the makeshift kitchen, said hello to Aunt Gu, and left Shanzi's house.

"Danzhu, did you see it?"

"I can see that," Gu Danzhu said dejectedly.

"Sister, what are you talking about?"

"Danzhu, it's getting late. I'm going back to the Taoist temple." Gu Nan said, not wanting to continue the discussion.

"Stay at my house for one night! The road will be hard to walk on after dark." said Gu Danzhu.

"No." Gu Nan dodged and flew away with her Qinggong. After leaving the village, she slowed down and walked forward leisurely. Although she was in a bad mood, she thought about her own things that had not been done yet, and finally tried to cheer up.

"Sister, what did Chuchu say to you just now? You looked so serious and it seemed like Chuchu was unhappy." Gu Danmu pulled her sister's sleeve.

"Let's go back! It's not convenient to talk outside." The two of them walked home together. Although Gu Danmu was usually careless, he was still smart enough. Since the three of them came back from seeing the bride, Chuchu and her sister didn't talk. It should be because the newly married sister-in-law was very inappropriate. She felt very depressed along the way.

After returning home, Gu Danzhu and Gu Danmu went to the kitchen to boil water. It wasn't long before their parents came back, so they could wash up. Not long after the water boiled, they heard the sound of people walking outside the kitchen.

"Dad, Mom, Yaowu is coming back so soon? That's pretty fast."

"Alas, your brother Shanzi's situation is really worrying! He can't even protect your sister-in-law after she marries in."

"Mom, let's go inside and talk! Be careful not to let others hear us." Gu Danmu walked closer and took her mother's arm.

"Dan Mu is right. Let's go inside and sit down to talk. It's not good to have people coming and going outside."

The Gu family returned to the house, closed the door and sat down somewhere.

"Mother, when we were going to pick up the bride, I heard people say that my sister-in-law was released because the mistress of the house was afraid of getting married. She didn't want to get married, but she couldn't do anything about it! He forced her onto the ox cart like that. I think he must be crazy."

"But his parents never kissed him during this marriage. Poor parents are so worried about him. How unfilial!"

"Mother, the more serious thing is that Chuchu and I found out that this woman is pregnant! I wonder if Shanzi knows about this. But now that she's married, it's fine if she keeps quiet. If she doesn't, it'll cause unrest in the family. If she knows, then she should be content. It's not good for outsiders to interfere."

"Head of the family, what should we do? Shanzi is not a human being and has dragged his parents down... I'm afraid Shanzi's parents will suffer!"

"We can't talk about this now. If things go wrong, something bad might happen. I'm afraid someone will die! The niece-in-law who just married into the family will be the first one to suffer, and Shanzi will die as well."

"Is it that serious?" Gu Yaowu was shocked. He thought that he had to listen to his parents when marrying a wife, so Shanzi suffered a great loss!

"Yes, it's normal that you don't know much about things you haven't seen. Your father and I encountered a lot of things when we were escorting people in our early years. There were some cases where marriages failed and then became enemies, some were even life-and-death feuds, and many people even had their clans exterminated because of this."

"Your father is right. Marriage is a union between two Jins. It is not a matter between two people but between two families, or even two clans. If your brother Shanzi's matter is made public, the first person the mistress will not let go is your newly married sister-in-law. No one wants to have another accident to annoy them."

"Then I'll find time to secretly talk to Uncle Gu tomorrow and tell him the situation! Let's keep it a secret first. The woman won't let Shanzi get close to her because she's pregnant. I'll use their daily interactions to wear down Shanzi's feelings for her, and then find a good time to let them divorce."

After listening to this, the three of them began to think about it, and they all felt that if they listened to their parents, they would at least avoid taking detours in their marriage in the future.

Meanwhile, Gu Nan was standing outside the Quan residence, thinking about how to find the boy named Wang Haojing. After they separated, he was busy practicing martial arts and had put off the matter until now. He might not even remember her. It was impossible to go to his house directly, and there were many unexpected situations if she went out to look for opportunities to meet him. Now the only way left was to sneak into the Quan residence and look for him.
