After Xiao Fubao's Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital Chapter 234

Chapter 234: A little kid but a big kid

Shopkeeper Luo's young man was very good at doing things. He squatted in the yard with Niu Niu, and after a while, he made two grasshoppers for Niu Niu out of slender weeds.

"Once upon a time there was a little grasshopper. He worked very, very hard..."

The boy even told a little story with a straw grasshopper.

Niu Niu listened with great interest. When shopkeeper Luo and Liu Xiaoru came out of the house, Niu Niu was still not satisfied.

"My dear, do you want to eat noodles for lunch?" Liu Xiaoru asked with a smile.

Niu Niu's eyes lit up, then she looked at Shopkeeper Luo and asked, "Uncle Luo, have you reconciled?"

"Niuniu knows that I'm having trouble with your Aunt Liu?" Shopkeeper Luo asked with a smile.

Niuniu straightened her body proudly and said, "Of course, I have sharp eyes, and I can tell at a glance that something is wrong between you two!"

"You are a little kid!" Liu Xiaoru stretched out her hand and gently tapped Niu Niu's forehead.

Niu Niu covered her head and said with a smile: "You still want to thank me! If there is any awkwardness, just let it go. We will always be good friends!"

Liu Xiaoru turned her head and glanced at Shopkeeper Luo, who happened to be looking at her at the same time. She was so frightened that she quickly turned her head back.

Shopkeeper Luo looked at her cute appearance and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

We had lunch at Xianyuelou. Niuniu once again had the pickled pork noodles with pickles that she had longed for, and also had a lot of fresh food.

"How long have you been in the capital and you have discovered so many good cooks?" Liu Xiaoru asked.

Shopkeeper Luo didn't hide anything from her, and said: "Some cooks are brought from other places, and there are not many local cooks in the capital."

"A person from other places is willing to leave his hometown with you?" Liu Xiaoru was puzzled.

"The salary was sufficient, and I also provided accommodation. I also promised that if they stayed here for five years, they would be given a house so that they could bring their families over."

Hearing such a generous gesture, Liu Xiaoru was dumbfounded and said, "You are too willing to give up."

Shopkeeper Luo said: "With enough money, their lives have improved, and they work extra hard."

Liu Xiaoru thought that whether it was a restaurant in Guang'an County or a restaurant in the capital, it seemed that the waiters at Shopkeeper Luo's place were particularly hardworking and smiled sincerely, unlike other restaurants where they always wore fake smiles.

Liu Xiaoru was just thinking about whether to mention the wages of her own small workshop, but shopkeeper Luo brought up the old matter again.

"Your workshop is different from a restaurant. It all depends on the formula to make money. Therefore, the formula is the most important thing. It is better to have a trustworthy person to check it. It is best to hire a few people to firmly bind you." In your hands." Shopkeeper Luo suggested.

Liu Xiaoru did not fight with him this time, but said to Niu Niu: "I will ask Niu Niu to accompany me to Ren Ya Zi and buy two suitable people."

Liu Xiaoru's idea is very simple. Buy two people and each get half of the formula, so that she can feel at ease.

Niu Niu has good intuition and can help eliminate those inappropriate people.

"Let's go after dinner. After choosing the people, I still want to meet your sister." Shopkeeper Luo said.

"Why are you meeting my sister?" Liu Xiaoru was puzzled.

"I have things to say about you and me, but there are also other things to say."

With Niuniu's help, the selection went quickly, and she waited until she returned to Gu's house.

Shopkeeper Luo mentioned other things first.

"Ms. Gu, I heard news from elsewhere earlier that something happened at the gate of Gongyuan. Several Juzi were injured, and some even died on the spot. But don't worry, Gu Juren should be fine."

When Zhang Yuniang heard this, her face turned pale with shock. "The Juren who got into trouble are now being taken care of by the imperial court. If something happens to Juren Gu, officers will definitely come and notify them." Shopkeeper Luo explained in detail.

Zhang Yuniang said: "I also sent people out to inquire, but there was no result. I wanted to ask Niuniu's godfather to inquire, but I found out this morning that he has been ill these past few days and has not gone to court."

Shopkeeper Luo explained: "Such a major event happened in Gongyuan, and the imperial court also deliberately blocked the news, so not many people knew about it. The news I received was that there was a scholar who failed in exams many times. Because of his poor life, he was determined to die. , so he went to make trouble at the gate of Gongyuan, hoping to drag down some promising candidates. "

Zhang Yuniang was very surprised when she heard this and said, "Aren't he afraid of involving his family by doing this?"

Shopkeeper Luo said: "It is said that this scholar's relatives have died and he is alone."

When everyone present heard this, they were all filled with fear. Such a person, when he doesn't get what he wants, will drag others into trouble, but he pretends to be just like ordinary people. It is simply impossible to guard against him.

After everyone sighed for a while, Zhang Yunniang stood up and saluted: "Shopkeeper Luo, thank you for this. If you hadn't come to tell me, I would never be able to feel at ease."

Shopkeeper Luo smiled and said, "Ms. Gu, you don't have to be polite. This is what I should do."

Just when Zhang Yunniang was about to refuse, Liu Xiaoru said: "Sister, there is no need to be polite to him."

Zhang Yuniang didn't know what happened to these two people, so she looked at Liu Xiaoru angrily.

Shopkeeper Luo whispered: "Mrs. Gu, I will probably call you sister in the future. She has already agreed to my request to marry Xiaoru."

Zhang Yuniang never expected that she would hear a thunder in the plains.

Her first thought was to worry about her sister: "Have your parents agreed to this?"

"After a while, my parents will come to Beijing and propose marriage." Shopkeeper Luo said.

Seeing that his attitude was sincere, Zhang Yuniang also proposed to marry him seriously. The most important thing was that Liu Xiaoru also agreed, so naturally she would not say any objection.

"Although my sister is remarried, I don't want you to be disrespectful in any way. Everything must be done according to the rules of a first marriage." Zhang Yuniang rarely had a tough attitude.

Shopkeeper Luo nodded and said, "This is natural. I am lucky to be able to marry Xiaoru. I will cherish her and love her."

Zhang Yuniang was also very happy for Liu Xiaoru when she heard this.

Niu Niu listened for a while and asked, "Are Aunt Liu going to be a bride?"

Zhang Yunniang responded with a smile, and then said: "This matter has not been decided yet, so I can't tell others for the time being, you know?"

Niu Niu nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, my mouth is tight."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

In the blink of an eye, the first exam was over, and a large family was waiting outside the Gongyuan early in the afternoon.

The gate of Gongyuan opened, and a group of people came out carrying examination baskets. The candidates had different expressions on their faces.

Gu Mingda walked among the crowd while supporting someone.

Qi Dashan hurriedly greeted him: "Master, isn't this... isn't this the prince?"

At this time, Qi Dashan also saw clearly that the person being supported by Gu Mingda was none other than Qin Jing, the eldest son of Duke Xian.

Qin Jing's face was pale and she looked sickly.

"I have someone at home. Thank you Uncle Gu for your help." Even though Qin Jing could hardly stand still, she still insisted on bowing to Gu Mingda to thank her.
