Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

On New Year's Eve, since many children from the village came to Cheng Wan's house to play, there has been a constant stream of villagers visiting Cheng Wan's house to chat and watch the fun.

In fact, most families in Pingnan Village have long wanted to find an opportunity to visit Cheng Wan's home. After all, there is an official in the village, and their family members work for him and earn wages. Moreover, they live so close to each other, so whether it is for affection or personal reasons, it always does good to visit each other more often.

They had made sufficient mental preparations for this, choosing the sweetest and most capable person in their family, and also found partners for the visit in private, but who would have thought that a distinguished guest would suddenly come to Cheng Wan's house.

They were naturally extremely curious about the purpose of the distinguished guest coming to Cheng Wan's house, but they really didn't have the courage to go to Cheng Wan's house to join in the fun at this time.

Ever since Gu Yan's carriage entered the village, the villagers had been secretly watching what was happening at Cheng Wan's house, thinking that they would visit Cheng Wan's house after the distinguished guest left.

But no matter how long we waited, the distinguished guest refused to leave.

Although the first day of the Lunar New Year is relatively free, the villagers can go to the Cheng family to pay New Year's greetings when they greet each other in the village on that day, but going more often is always better than going less, and the family will be closer.

Just when the villagers accepted with great regret that they could not visit Cheng Wan's home before the New Year, the children who went to Cheng Wan's home to play brightened the villagers' eyes.

The children were making so much noise that almost the entire village could hear the boisterous laughter coming from Cheng Wan's yard.

Many villagers thought that since these naughty kids made such a big noise and no one cared about them or drove them out, the noble man must have a good temper.

And with the noise made by the children around, they can feel more comfortable when visiting and chatting.

As a result, many smart villagers took a moment to think about it, called their friends and went to visit Cheng Wan's home.

The fact was just as they expected, the noble man had a good temper and could even be said to be easy to get along with.

This caused many villagers who had seen Gu Yan at Cheng Wan's house to murmur: "I always feel that something is wrong. The nobleman doesn't seem to be a guest, but seems to be at home. And... why does the nobleman always stare at Master Cheng?"

Among them, a few villagers who were brave, careful and daring to think figured out something, but they only dared to think about it in their hearts and did not dare to ask openly.

He was also afraid that he would think in the wrong way, which would be bad for Cheng Wan's reputation and offend Cheng's family and nobles.

As the sky gradually darkened, the villagers who had come to visit Cheng Wan's home left in twos and threes, and the children also went back to their own homes. When they left, the pockets of their clothes were filled with snacks given to them by Old Lady Lin and others.

However, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Song stayed a little longer than the others because they had something to ask Mrs. Lin.

In Old Lady Lin's room, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Song opened their eyes and mouths wide, with disbelief written all over their wrinkled faces.

Old Lady Lin looked at the expressions of the two old sisters and said with a click of the tongue, "What are those expressions on your faces? Aren't you the two going to ask me? But you two don't believe me when I tell you."

"No...no, sister, please let me take it slow. I...my brain is still a little slow to react." Mrs. Zhang covered her chest and murmured.

Mrs. Song swallowed her saliva, grabbed Mrs. Lin's arm, and said with a tremor in her voice, "Ah Wan and Mr. Gu..." Mrs. Song licked her lips, "Is it true?"

"Oh, it's true. It couldn't be more true." Old Mrs. Lin nodded calmly.

She was past the stage of shock and disbelief.

She is now the one who has been formally called milk by Master Gu.

"Oh my god!" Mrs. Zhang slapped her thigh fiercely. "I was wondering why I felt something was wrong with those two. Mr. Gu's eyes are glued to A-Wan!"

Mrs. Song also slapped her thighs and said in a low voice with extremely unstable emotions: "Isn't it! I see him going wherever A Wan goes. To put it bluntly, he is like A Wan's follower!"

The two old ladies wanted to say something to express their feelings, but unfortunately they didn't have enough words when they needed them, and all they said were "Oh my God!", "Oh my God!", "Ouch!"...

After a long while, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Song finally recovered from their shock and were able to think about other things.

“Old sister, are you so sure to let Mr. Gu come to visit?” Mrs. Zhang frowned, a worried look on her face, “Old sister, no matter how powerful and capable our Ah Wan is, she is still a girl after all. What if in the future…”

Mrs. Zhang didn't finish her words, but Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Song both understood what she meant.

This was also what the Cheng family was worried about before. They were afraid that Cheng Wan and Gu Yan would not be able to be together in the future, and that someone would gossip about Cheng Wan behind her back, thinking that Cheng Wan was an unwanted girl...

"Yes, elder sister, this is not a trivial matter. Mr. Gu is a very good man, but our A Wan is not bad either. If we let him come to our house like this, he will look down on our A Wan in his heart. If something happens in the future, it will not have any impact on him, but the bad reputation will be borne by our A Wan." Mrs. Song imitated Mrs. Lin, sitting cross-legged on the kang with a worried look on her face.

Old Mrs. Lin felt warm in her heart as she listened to what Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Song said.

These two old sisters are sincerely worried about their eldest granddaughter.

"Well, my eldest daughter-in-law and I have thought about what you said before, and we have also carefully considered how this matter will develop in the future.

As for the matter between Awan and Mr. Gu, the worst case scenario is that Mr. Gu doesn't like Awan and doesn't want to be with her anymore.

If that day really comes, it would be a life-threatening event for most girls, but for Ah Wan, it’s no big deal! "

At this point, Old Lady Lin raised her chin with great pride and continued:

"What is the status of my granddaughter Ah Wan? She is the first female official in the world! She is someone who can go out and discuss things seriously with those men!

Besides being a female official, Ah Wan can also make money! Suiyi Building and the two workshops in the village are all golden eggs that can make money for Ah Wan!

Let me be honest, who in this village doesn’t want to talk to Awan and get closer to him?

So what are those people doing here who came to visit me today? Don’t you know it clearly? "

As Old Lady Lin spoke, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Song kept nodding.

What Mrs. Lin said was true.

“So, my granddaughter A-Wan is not an ordinary girl, and we can no longer look at A-Wan with the eyes of an ordinary girl.

Take the matter between her and Mr. Gu for example. If it can work out, that would be the best. If it doesn't, that's really no big deal.

I tell you, I see it very clearly now. As long as Ah Wan can continue to be capable in the future, she will never have trouble finding a husband. Not only Master Gu, but also Master Li and Master Wang..."

Old Lady Lin stuffed a peanut into her mouth and spoke more and more excitedly, "I even thought that if Ah Wan and Master Gu can't be together in the future, why not just find a son-in-law for Ah Wan? Anyway, with Ah Wan's looks and abilities, it shouldn't be difficult to find a son-in-law, and the child born this way can also have the surname Cheng!"

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Song were stunned by what they heard. They looked at Mrs. Lin who was talking so eloquently and felt that their previous thinking was too narrow-minded.

Yes, Ah Wan’s ability is no worse than that of men. No, she is better than many men. So what’s wrong with dating a man first?

It's not like we're getting married.
