After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 249: Digging out the heart and lungs
Zhang Yunniang could tolerate other things but not her daughter's praise.

The little girl spoke so softly and tenderly that Zhang Yunniang couldn't help but get excited and wanted to continue doing this.

Li also advised: "Staying at home all day will inevitably lead to being out of touch with the news. Going out more often will make you more active, and you will learn more and broaden your horizons."

Niuniu kept nodding, grabbing Zhang Yunniang and continuing to act coquettishly: "Yes, yes, mother, you are so bored staying at home all day, you can get to know more aunts if you go out."

Zhang Yunniang’s considerations were different from theirs. She thought of her second son.

If he could really make friends with these dignitaries, maybe one day they would be able to help his second son.

"Okay, since you all think this is feasible, I'll continue."

Li smiled and said, "That's right. After I came to the capital, I realized a truth. Only when we girls go out can we see the vastness of the world. If we stay trapped in the inner house all day, we will be lambs to be slaughtered."

Li was also speaking from her heart. During those years, she was trapped in the large courtyard of her hometown, and she was in the dark and could only allow her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law to bully her.

After returning to the Gu family's house, she told Gu Mingda about this.

Gu Mingda agreed very much, not for the sake of his second son. Gu Mingda just felt that although Zhang Yunniang said that she was afraid of being involved in the secrets of the inner house, the light in her eyes could not deceive anyone.

Zhang Yunniang looked very high-spirited, and it was obvious that she was very proud of what she had done, and she felt recognized for it.

Niuniu pulled Gu Mingda's sleeve and whispered in her father's ear, "Mom seems to be more beautiful now."

Gu Mingda couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"What are you two, father and daughter, whispering behind my back?" Zhang Yunniang scolded.

Niuniu rolled her eyes and said cunningly, "I won't tell Mom, this is a little secret between Daddy and me!"

Gu Mingda nodded vigorously.

Zhang Yunniang pretended to be jealous: "Great, Niuniu has the best relationship with your father now."

When Niu Niu heard this, she immediately became anxious and rushed into her mother's arms, saying, "No, no, mom and I are always the best. We are the best!"

Zhang Yunniang couldn't help laughing, tapped Niuniu's little forehead, and then hugged the little girl with a sweet smell in her arms.

"Yunniang, if you really want to help those women, you can actually ask Doctor Yan for advice. He has been practicing medicine for many years and must have a lot of experience. You can also learn a thing or two." Gu Mingda said.

Zhang Yunniang listened to the suggestion and said, "I'll go and ask him for advice when I have time."

Gu Mingda helped his wife come up with a goal: "When you have experienced more things in the future, maybe you can compile them into a book."

Zhang Yunniang was not as confident as him and said, "I am just a woman, how can I have such ability?"

Neither Gu Mingda nor Niu Niu would allow her to belittle herself.

Niuniu said: "Mom is the most powerful person!"

Gu Mingda also said, "So what if she's a woman? Aren't men and women all human beings? I never think that there are things that men can do that women can't do. Yunniang, I always think that you are just a pity to be a girl. If you go to school like me, you might be able to pass the imperial examination faster than me."

Zhang Yunniang smiled and said, "I am not that great. It's because you are partial to me that you think so highly of me. I am just an ordinary woman."

Niuniu retorted loudly: "Mom is not an ordinary person! Mom can take care of us and do business. Everyone likes Mom. Mom is the best!"

Gu Mingda nodded and said, "Yes, your mother is so capable. Unlike your father, he was too busy studying to take care of you." Niuniu put her little face against Zhang Yunniang's face and said, "I want to be as capable as mother when I grow up."

Gu Mingda added, "There are many things in the inner house that cannot be said openly. You did a good job today. You used your words to hint and guide them to think for themselves. You said more words of comfort. Illness is mostly caused by emotions. If you can help them relieve their mood, it won't be in vain."

Zhang Yunniang was originally a little nervous, but she gradually calmed down with the consolation of the father and daughter.

However, Gu Mingda was still thinking about Shuying. Even though he heard Zhang Yuniang mention that Shuying was very loyal to Niuniu, he could never completely let go of this crazy girl unless he saw her.

When Shuying saw Gu Mingda and Niu Niu coming together, she could still only see Niu Niu in her eyes.

"Miss San, look at the soap I made for you. Use this to wash your hands and take a bath. It's quick and clean."

Shuying held a piece of pale yellow paste cut into squares in front of Niuniu like she was presenting a treasure.

Niu Niu's hands were dirty, so Shuying took her hand and demonstrated to her how to wash hands in the basin beside her.

Seeing a lot of foam being produced by her hands, Niu Niu felt extremely curious.

"I only made ordinary soap this time. Then I'll pick some flowers and make floral-scented soap. Our Third Miss will always smell good." Shuying said happily.

Gu Mingda was originally on guard, but when he saw Shuying touching Niu Niu with such cautiousness, as if she was touching a fairy, Gu Mingda suddenly felt that his own guard was a little ridiculous.

But when he listened to Shuying's words and saw the effects of the soap with his own eyes, he immediately realized that there was a huge business opportunity here.

Lard is not a cheap item for ordinary people, and soap made with lard is destined not to enter ordinary people's homes.

But as long as the purpose of cleanliness can be achieved, price has never been a problem for the rich and powerful.

If we really add floral scents into it as Shuying said, we won’t have any trouble selling it.

Gu Mingda had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he looked down at Niu Niu and Shuying. The two were having a lot of fun together at this time. Shuying went along with Niu Niu in everything and put Niu Niu's wishes first.

Gu Mingda suddenly felt that his ideas about making money were extremely despicable.

Shuying took out another jar of white sugar.

"Miss San, this is the white sugar I made. Please have a taste."

Shuying scooped a spoonful for Niu Niu.

Niu Niu took the food in one gulp and soon her eyes lit up.

"It's delicious, so delicious, so sweet! I want more!"

Niu Niu is only six years old, and no child can resist the temptation of sweets.

Shuying rarely obeyed her this time, but said hesitantly: "If you eat too much, your teeth will hurt. You can't eat too much."

Niu Niu sighed heavily and lowered her head with a look of disappointment.

When Shuying saw the little girl like this, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and said, "Is there anything else you want to eat? I'll make it for you right away. Do you want pork jerky? Or something else? Should I fry chicken legs for you? Make crispy pork?"

The way she looked at this moment, she really wanted to give her heart to Niu Niu.
