Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 251 Looking for someone
"Moreover, judging from your current situation, there must be quite a few people coming to visit, and it's not very convenient for you to move around every day. I was thinking of finding someone who can cook some simple meals, do the usual chores in this yard, and also help take care of you."

Xu Qing thought for a moment, "It's not a big deal. Even if you hadn't brought it up today, I was planning to ask you anyway. It's just a matter of whether we should transfer someone from home or find someone else?"

The Gu family currently has three cooks in the kitchen, but when the hot pot restaurant is busy, they also need to take care of the hot pot broth preparation, plus the usual cleaning and other tasks, so even Xinting is sometimes busy.

With four children at home, Xu Qingmeng was not idle. Before the Lunar New Year, not only was the hot pot restaurant doing well, but the workshop also saw a surge in sales of chili oil. It seemed that the number of people she had hired was almost insufficient.

What Xu Qingmeng could imagine, Gu Yunyi could naturally also imagine, and he planned to find a man for his teacher.

Gu Yunyi shook his head and said to Xu Qingmeng, "No, I plan to find someone else for you outside the profession, preferably a man, so that he can take better care of you."

“Alright, but I don’t trust the guy Xiao Li was before,” Xu Qingmeng said.

Let alone Xu Qingmeng, he didn't believe Gu Yunyi either. Besides, Mr. Shen would inevitably have many officials visiting him in the future, so he couldn't be taken lightly.

The two of them decided to visit the other children's shops the next day.

The next morning, after everything was tidied up, Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi had breakfast and then took the food box to Mr. Shen's residence.

However, just as the two arrived at the door, they saw that Lord Zhang had two other people following behind him, knocking on the door.

Lord Zhang was only thirty years old, in the prime of his youth. His serious expression gave Xu Qingmeng the impression that he was the kind of person who spoke little but was quite serious.

Seeing Gu Yunyi and Xu Qingmeng arrive, Zhang Hanzhe nodded slightly to them.

Gu Yunyi simply returned a scholar's greeting without warmly approaching him to strike up a conversation.

Xu Qingmeng looked at the two people in front of her and felt that the atmosphere was strange. Then she shook her head, thinking that she must be overthinking it!
Thinking he would have to wait a little longer, the door opened from the inside. Mr. Shen first glanced at Zhang Hanzhe, then looked at Gu Yunyi, still somewhat surprised that the two of them had come together.

But he quickly regained his composure, glanced at the people outside the door, and said, "Come in, all of you, don't just stand there."

Zhang Hanzhe was at the door, so he naturally went in first, and then hurriedly went to help Mr. Shen: "Okay, sir, please take it easy."

Seeing this, Gu Yunyi did not go forward again, but followed behind with the food box.

After entering the house, Xu Qingmeng helped set out breakfast and then made an excuse to leave, not staying inside.

Zhang Hanzhe looked at the rather abundant breakfast on the table, but said, "Sir, this courtyard is rather simple, and besides, you live alone without anyone to take care of you. I'm not comfortable with that. Why don't you stay at my place instead?"

Mr. Shen shook his head and said, "No, I appreciate your filial piety. It's fine here. What's wrong with me living alone? It's been like this all these years, hasn't it? Besides, Yunyi and the others are taking care of me. It's fine, so don't worry about it." Actually, Zhang Hanzhe had mentioned it when he first met Mr. Shen, but Mr. Shen had refused outright. Now he was bringing it up again, just hoping that it might work out.

Zhang Hanzhe was still somewhat surprised by the trust his master placed in Gu Yunyi. He also knew about his master's daughter, Shen Yunyi, and that Gu Yunyi was used as an excuse to sever ties with his master.

While it's not entirely Gu Yunyi's fault, it's still...
Zhang Hanzhe shook his head helplessly and smiled faintly: "Sigh, I've been rejected by you again. It's the New Year, and my courtyard is so deserted. I was hoping that when you came, we could have a drink and chat from time to time."

Mr. Shen looked at the student who was acting coquettishly in front of him, and his expression softened a lot. He couldn't help but say, "Alright, there are still many things in the prefectural school that need your attention. Since you have taken on this job, you should pay more attention to it and not delay things. Besides, I am in the prefectural city right now. You can find me, and I can't run away."

Zhang Hanzhe smiled and said, "Yes, sir, you are right."

Seeing that the teacher had said this, he introduced him to the master, saying, "Sir, since you do not wish to stay at my place, it is not very convenient for you to live here alone right now, and I am really worried about you. So today I have taken the liberty of bringing two servants for you. I hope you will not refuse and will accept them."

The two people Zhang Hanzhe brought were a bit older, but only in their thirties, and the other was younger, presumably not yet of marriageable age.

Mr. Shen glanced at the two of them indifferently and said, "I prefer quiet, so one of them will suffice."

Zhang Hanzhe also understands Mr. [Name]. Although he brought two people with him, he didn't think that both of them would be accepted. He only needed to accept one person.

In the end, the younger one was kept. His name was Xiaoyu. He was literate and could handle simple daily tasks such as cooking and cleaning. He could also help the teacher grind ink.

Seeing that the gentleman had accepted the man, Zhang Hanzhe left after a short while. He and Gu Yunyi only exchanged a nod when they first met, and didn't exchange another word after that.

Of course, Gu Yunyi didn't care, but Mr. Shen did notice it.

After Zhang Hanzhe left, he told Xiaoyu to go to his room to tidy up. As he walked out the door, thinking about the two of them, he couldn't help but ask Gu Yunyi, "What happened? Do you have some kind of grudge against Zhang Hanzhe?"

Gu Yunyi was quite surprised, then shook his head.

It was rather strange that the two had no prior conflict, and Mr. Shen fell into deep thought.

He knew Zhang Hanzhe well; he was always very good at interpersonal relationships. Even if he really disliked Gu Yunyi, or whatever, he would never be so cold as he was today.

Moreover, Gu Yunyi is currently just a scholar studying at the prefectural school, and there is no way he could have any conflict with the school's education officials. This indifferent attitude is even more puzzling.

Mr. Shen kept all these thoughts to himself, and with a soft sigh, he decided to find a private opportunity to ask him what exactly happened.
