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

Chapter 255 Storytelling

Shen Changfeng was also very happy to see her happy, and said proudly: "It was me who reminded you of this! Otherwise, I wouldn't have singled you out!"

Niuniu's eyes lit up when she heard this. She tilted her head slightly and smiled sweetly at Shen Changfeng: "Thank you, Brother Changfeng! Brother Changfeng is the best!"

Shen Changfeng felt as if his heart was hit by something. He covered his chest and asked, "Although you already have a godfather and godmother, do you want to find another godfather? I feel that I may not be able to give birth to a daughter as cute as you in the future..."

Before he could finish his words, Gu Mingda beside him flicked his forehead: "She recognized you as her godfather, so what do you call me?"

Shen Changfeng stupidly retracted his hand and apologized honestly: "Master, I spoke without thinking."

Gu Mingda did not continue to say anything to him, but said: "Yesterday I taught you how to observe people's expressions. Today I will teach you how to roughly judge what a person has just done..."

What Gu Mingda teaches are mostly experiences he has summarized from his past life.

"When something is done, it will usually leave traces. For example, look at my shoes. Are they wet?"

Niu Niu and Shen Changfeng both listened carefully and nodded at the same time.

Niuniu asked: "Daddy's shoes are wet, is it because he accidentally splashed water on them when he was drinking?"

"Did you accidentally step into a puddle?" Shen Changfeng asked.

The two children gave two different answers.

Gu Mingda shook his head and made a gesture of drinking water.

"When drinking water, it is easier to get water on the chest than on the shoes. Can you see if there is any water on Daddy's chest?"

Niu Niu shook her head in disappointment.

Gu Mingda lifted up his entire foot and asked Shen Changfeng: "When your shoes fall into a puddle, which part gets wet first?"

Shen Changfeng glanced at Gu Mingda's dry soles and said, "Master's soles are not wet, so he didn't step into a puddle."

But in this way, the two children didn’t know where Gu Mingda got wet.

Gu Mingda continued to ask: "Don't you know what is happening in the front yard now?"

Shen Changfeng looked up at the sky and recalled the scene he saw when he entered the door: "Washing clothes! Someone is washing clothes!"

Gu Mingda nodded: "When I came here just now, I passed by the well and Madam Qi accidentally dropped some water on my shoes."

"If it were just water drops, I wouldn't be able to tell. I passed by the person washing clothes. There is a crabapple tree by the well. It is now blooming with pink and white flowers. Look."

As Gu Mingda spoke, he plucked a petal from his hair and showed it to the two children.

The two of them suddenly realized.

The whole morning passed quickly in the teaching. Shen Changfeng learned a lot of reasoning and couldn't help but sigh: "If the people who solve cases in the government office are as smart as Master, I'm afraid there won't be so many unjust, false and wrong cases in the world."

Gu Mingda shook his head and said, "Not everything in this world will leave traces, and humans are not omniscient and omnipotent. There will always be places that are beyond human reach."

Gu Mingda used to think the same as Shen Changfeng, but after adopting his daughter and witnessing the various magical qualities of Niu Niu, he realized the wonders of the world.

At this time, Niuniu threw herself into her father's arms and said, "Tell me some specific stories about solving cases."

When Gu Mingda was in the county government, he often helped to sort out the files. He had read a lot of cases, and when he talked about them now, he couldn't help but add a lot of details. He was a good storyteller, and in just a few words, he painted a story with ups and downs.

Shen Changfeng and Niu Niu were both fascinated by what they heard.

After listening to it, Niuniu said with emotion: "It seems like I have also been a judge with my father."

Shen Changfeng nodded vigorously. He was not as good at describing as Niu Niu, but the feelings in his heart were exactly the same as Niu Niu.

Gu Mingda said: "You little one, your mouth is so sweet every day."

Niuniu smiled shyly and wanted to ask, "Daddy, why doesn't you write stories like godmother? The stories written by Daddy might be sent to the theater and sung by people!"

Gu Mingda said, "I was always busy in the past, so I didn't think about this for a while. However, these stories about solving cases were all obtained from the government office. If I write them down, I'm afraid someone will copy them."

Niuniu asked, "Daddy, are you afraid that someone will read the story you wrote and do bad things after learning it?"

Gu Mingda nodded.

Only then did Shen Changfeng realize that this kind of story actually posed such a risk. His thoughts always seemed to be a step slower than others.

But Niuniu sighed and said, "But whether they have read Daddy's stories or not, bad people will do bad things."

Gu Mingda was stunned when he heard this.

Niu Niu continued, "Dad's story may also serve as a warning to those who have been harmed by the same method. Maybe someone has killed someone in the same way, and their family members can find out the real culprit by reading Dad's story."

Niu Niu's words reminded Gu Mingda.

Gu Mingda sighed deeply and said, "Niuniu is right. Dad is too narrow-minded."

"Everything has two sides. The same story can hurt people or save people. Stories are just stories. In the end, it all depends on people's hearts."

Niuniu said, "If the bad guys in the stories Daddy wrote had a very bad ending, would those who were determined to do bad things be scared after reading them? Maybe they would stop doing bad things."

Although Niu Niu's words are naive, they are also a solution.

Gu Mingda nodded and said, "In that case, these stories are actually trying to persuade people to do good."

Niu Niu nodded vigorously and straightened her little body proudly. Niu Niu felt that she had done another great thing.

Soon the day of the flower-viewing banquet at the princess's mansion arrived.

In previous years, the princess's mansion held the flower-viewing banquet in a garden outside the city, but this year it was held in the princess's mansion in the city.

The post from the Princess Mansion invited everyone from the Gu family, even Liu Xiaoru.

Old Mrs. Gu had said long ago that she would not go. Her apparent reason was that she wanted to stay at home to take care of Old Man Gu, but in reality, everyone in the family knew that the old lady was really timid.

She was unwilling to go, and her family did not force her. After all, that place was the princess's residence, with countless dignitaries. If someone offended the old lady, given the Gu family's current status, they would most likely have to suffer in silence.

Before going out, Liu Xiaoru wanted to fill Niuniu's head with jewelries.

"There are many people in the princess's mansion today. The young ladies who are about the same age as Niu Niu are probably all wearing gold and silver. Our Niu Niu can't be outdone." Liu Xiaoru was afraid that Niu Niu would be neglected.
