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

Chapter 266 Muslin

The princess looked at her daughter's expectant expression and nodded in the end: "Since Mr. Gu doesn't mind the trouble, I won't be the bad guy. But safety should be the most important thing in everything. Remember?"

Shen Ling cheered on the spot. She could finally do interesting things like her brother!

"The Gu family is easy to talk to, so don't say that the eldest lady has a bad temper and delay their work, okay?" The eldest princess warned again.

Shen Ling said, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't understand things! Niuniu even invited me to her house for breakfast, saying that she had made some fresh dishes and she wanted me to try them!"

When the princess heard this, she immediately recalled the meal she had at the Gu family. The chef's cooking was not perfect, but the dishes were indeed novel. She later asked the chef in the princess mansion to make similar dishes, but no matter how she tasted them, she felt that they were not as authentic as those made by the Gu family's chef.

"Please ask for me later whether the chef of the Gu family is willing to come to the princess's mansion, or whether he can accept an apprentice or something like that." said the eldest princess.

Shen Ling also had this idea, but Niuniu explicitly rejected it several times, saying, "This won't work. The Gu family's chef seems to have some unspeakable secrets and won't see outsiders."

Although the princess felt it was a pity, she did not have the intention to hire the cook. When she heard that it was impossible, she gave up.

Just like that, Gu Mingda thought the princess agreed, and the princess thought it was Gu Mingda's suggestion, so the matter was done. They had no idea that from beginning to end, it was just Shen Ling's private request to Niu Niu.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Grandma Gu went out to work.

The old lady had never felt the burden on her shoulders so heavy. The night before she left, she tossed and turned in bed like a pancake.

The old lady forced Father Gu to carry a quilt into Gu Yan's room and spend the night there.

Shen Ling arrived very early.

The crazy girl also took Niu Niu's affairs very seriously. When she heard Niu Niu say that her friends were coming to have breakfast, she immediately used all her skills.

In this way, Shen Ling had a rich and appetizing breakfast at Gu's house.

When they were about to go out, Shen Ling pulled Niuniu aside and asked, "Is the place we are going far? Can we get back before lunch?"

Shen Ling wanted to have another lunch at Gu's house.

Niuniu shook her head and said, "The place we are going to is close to Xianyue Tower. We will have lunch there at noon!"

Shen Ling said, "Xianyue Tower, which is very famous in the capital these days. I heard that there is a courtyard there that only welcomes female guests. I have always wanted to go and take a look, but I have never been able to find time. Today is a coincidence. However, I heard that it is very difficult to book a private room there, and the queue has to be several days."

Niuniu nodded and said, "The owner of Xianyue Tower is Aunt Liu's fiancé. If you want to book a private room next time, just let me know!"

Shen Ling was naturally aware that as long as she mentioned the name of the Princess's Mansion, these restaurants would not dare to neglect her. However, relying on her mother's power and her friends' face, it was obviously a different matter.

"That's great, I will definitely help take care of the business."

Shen Ling had made some special preparations for today. She wore what she thought was an extremely simple outfit, but before leaving the house, Zhang Yuniang tactfully advised her to change her clothes.

Although Shen Ling was only fourteen years old, he was about the same height as Zhang Yuniang. Zhang Yuniang took out some clothes that she hadn't worn yet and gave them to Shen Ling.

Zhang Yunniang was prepared for Shen Ling to be unhappy, but she didn't expect Shen Ling's reaction to be so different from ordinary people.

"Although the color of this fabric is not nice, it feels very soft when worn." What Shen Ling praised so highly was not some fancy clothes, but just the most ordinary fine cotton clothes.

Shen Ling was obviously not worldly-wise. She even asked Niuniu, "Do ordinary people wear this kind of clothes?"

Although Niuniu is young, she has experienced hard times. She shook her head and said, "When life was tough at home, I couldn't even wear coarse cloth clothes. Now that my family is not short of money, I can afford to wear fine cotton clothes like this."

Shen Ling asked: "What does coarse cloth clothing look like?"

Old Mrs. Gu immediately waved her hand and Madam Qi came over.

Shen Ling touched the clothes on Madam Qi and found them so hard that they pricked his hands.

"How can I wear such uncomfortable clothes? It's so uncomfortable!" Shen Ling couldn't help but sigh.

The others couldn't help laughing when they heard these innocent words.

"Miss Shen, for ordinary people, having a set of unpatched coarse cloth clothes is already extremely decent. How can you dare to ask for more?" Zhang Yunniang said.

Shen Ling suddenly thought of what Niuniu had just said, and asked again: "You said before that it's not your turn to wear coarse cloth clothes, so what are you going to wear?"

"Wearing tattered, patched clothes!" Niu Niu said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Shen Ling didn't dare to imagine what kind of day that was. She wanted to continue asking, but Shen Changfeng pulled his sister aside and lowered his voice to tell her about Niu Niu's original origins.

It was the first time that Shen Ling knew that Niu Niu was not the biological child of the Gu family, but an adopted girl.

There was a bit more pity in her eyes when she looked at Niu Niu.

But Niu Niu never felt that her life was miserable. She smiled and said to Shen Ling: "Sister Ling, you don't have to look at me like that. Niu Niu is not a pitiful child. Niu Niu is the most beloved child in the family!"

Shen Ling paused after hearing this.

Details that she had noticed before but hadn't thought about came back to her mind.

Old Mrs. Gu's eyes were always on Niu Niu. Shen Ling had previously thought that this old lady was not as patriarchal as other elderly people. But now, after hearing what Niu Niu said, Shen Ling was convinced that the Gu family really doted on Niu Niu as their own child.

Gu Mingda is not like ordinary fathers who don't care about his daughter's education. Instead, he has made serious plans for it, fearing that his daughter will go astray.

Looking at Niu Niu's innocent and romantic appearance, Shen Ling couldn't help but think of the mess at home. He couldn't help but think that his life might not be as happy as Niu Niu's!
Li Yaren and Old Lady Gu made an appointment at Hongye Lane. He only knew that Old Lady Gu was going to bring her younger generations over. When he really saw Shen Ling and Shen Changfeng, he didn't think much about it. He just sighed in his heart that the brother and sister were really good-looking, with delicate skin and tender flesh, and they didn't look like they were from a poor family.

"Old lady, the house we are going to sell this time is a two-story courtyard. Now we have a buyer, but this buyer is different from ordinary people and is not easy to talk to. Please coax her." Li Yaren said.

Old Mrs. Gu didn't think much about it and nodded casually.

It was only when she actually met the person that Mrs. Gu realized how troublesome it was.

"My husband likes quietness. The family next door has too many children, and the tree in front blocks the light. If you ask the family next door to control their children and have the tree on the corner cut down, I will buy this house!"
