The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law
Chapter 382 - 392: Won Four Games

Chapter 382: Chapter 392: Won Four Games

The clothes were so flowing that they seemed like celestial garments; mortal clothes could never achieve such an effect.

Gu Youyou stood calmly to the side, fully understanding the shock in their eyes.

Why the shock? One only needed to look at the wall paintings to understand.

Ancient people did not paint beauties the way she did.

They looked realistic, yet so beautiful they did not seem real.

As for the clothes, well, there was no need to mention that her education in fashion design was not for naught.

"This... Doctor Gu, which immortal are you painting here?" asked the elderly madam, now thoroughly convinced of Gu Youyou’s talent. She had shifted from addressing her informally to respectfully, a true sign of her admiration.

Gu Youyou responded with a smile, "The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady."

Of course, she was making it up.

However, the marchioness furrowed her brow, asking, "Why does the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady have such long ears?"

Uh... Gu Youyou had given the beauty elf-like ears; silver hair naturally complemented elf ears better, of course.

Gu Youyou kept her composure and said, "The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady resides above the ninth heaven, and she needs long ears to hear the suffering of the world below, hence she was born with a pair of long ears." She was becoming more and more impressed with her own ability to bluff.

The elderly madam marveled, simply saying, "Ah, only such artistic skill is worthy of painting the celestial elegance of the Mysterious Lady. The Goddess pictures we have at home pale in comparison to this Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Picture. Doctor Gu, might you bestow this picture upon me?"

Gu Youyou looked surprised; she had not expected the elderly madam to outright ask for the painting.

She said, "If the madam does not disdain it, it is my fortune, and the painting’s fortune as well."

And so, the madam happily took the painting away, and the result of the final contest was sheerly predictable.

The taste of being slapped in the face by a country girl was unpleasant.

The faces of the young misses were surprisingly ugly. Losing to one of their own sisters would have been one thing, but they had all been defeated by an outsider, and one whom they had colluded to deal with, at that.

Yue Ruxue’s face was filled with anger, her gaze towards Gu Youyou full of spite.

The victorious Gu Youyou, on the other hand, did not look happy, but rather stood on the side with a worried frown.

Madam, would you not just happily embrace the painting—have you not forgotten something?

Of course, it would be impolite for her to remind the lady.

As the bells for the New Year rang, another year passed.

It was too late, Jin Zijin and Gu Youyou did not return to Jisheng Hall, but were instead led by a maid to the same quarters they had stayed in before.

The maid was not the previous Xiaotao, but another girl much older than Xiaotao, named Xiaoying.

Being a long-time servant of the household, she even recognized Jin Zijin and mentioned that when he used to visit the Marquis Residence in the past, he would always stay in these rooms. Even when he wasn’t there, the Marquess would have someone clean them regularly, and no one else had stayed in them.

So, it turned out that these rooms were not just any guest rooms—they were specially prepared for Jin Zijin.

After closing the door, Gu Youyou finally asked the question that she had been holding in all night.

"You have a pet name, Ayan?"

When she heard Marquess calling him Ayan, she felt quite annoyed; her husband, and she hadn’t even known his pet name.

Jin Zijin touched his nose, seeming somewhat embarrassed.

He said, "I forgot to tell you, my full name is Jin Yan, and Zijin is my courtesy name."

Gu Youyou: "..."

On the first day of the New Year, she didn’t hesitate to throw a punch at him.

So much for Jin Yan—after being married for over a year, she had just found out his name. How were outsiders supposed to think when he introduced her as his wife?

Jin Zijin laughed and caught her fist, saying, "Youyou, I didn’t intentionally keep it from you; it’s just that... not many people use it, and I somehow forgot to bring it up."
