After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, she became the favorite of the Beijing group

After the Gu family's rented carriage left Qingshui Village, Old Lady Gu muttered softly, "It's so undignified to have to fight for a meal."

Zhang Yunniang smiled awkwardly when she heard this. She didn't mention that Old Lady Gu was also a member of the food-grabbing group. Instead, she said, "Mom, didn't you say you wanted to stay in the village for a while?"

Old Lady Gu did have this idea before returning to the village, but after staying in the village for half a day, she felt uncomfortable everywhere. She was also thinking about the braised food shop, fearing that no one would help her and she would be too busy at home.

"There are so many things in the shop, how can I feel at ease." Old Lady Gu replied casually.

She was also paid for helping in the shop. This time, she used the money to buy a lot of snacks for several children at home. They surrounded her and called her good grandmother, and she felt comfortable in her heart.

Although it's not like before, when one person managed the money of the whole family, now she earns money and spends it herself, but she doesn't have to be frugal.

"The third brother's wife is a good one. The shoes she made for Niu Niu have fine stitches and look like she put a lot of effort into it." Old Lady Gu said again.

Zheng Cui'er gave everyone in the family a pair of shoes. The shoes for Niu Niu and Gu Xiaoya were the most delicate, with delicate patterns embroidered on them.

Niu Niu raised her feet on the spot to show her family members when she heard this.

Zhang Yunniang said softly, "The third brother has finally gotten his wish after all the hardship."

Old Lady Gu said, "I just hope that the third brother won't be like those people who are superficial and mean to others because they think they are ugly."

Although Old Third Gu said that he didn't care about the beauty of his new wife, he actually felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Although Liu Erni had all kinds of problems, she was not bad-looking, and her two children also had good looks like her.

It was only when the candles were lit in the room at night, under the dim light, when Old Third Gu turned around, he saw Zheng Cui'er looking at him gently.

At this moment, the birthmarks on the woman's face seemed to be covered with a layer of light golden light.

Gu Laosan suddenly felt that her former fiancé had a problem with his eyes. He was obviously beautiful, so why would he break off the engagement because of a birthmark?

The days passed by faster and faster, and it was June in a blink of an eye.

The Gu family packed their bags again, and this time they had a lot of things to pack.

This year is the year of the provincial examination, and Gu Mingda must arrive in Jiangzhou Prefecture before August.

The provincial examination is a major examination, and the examination site is not set up in the prefecture this year. This time, all the scholars from the four nearby prefectures will gather in Jiangzhou Prefecture to take the exam.

"You can't stay at home for the Mid-Autumn Festival when you go, otherwise you can leave Niuniu behind and keep us company." Old Lady Gu held Niuniu tightly.

After a long journey, Zhang Yunniang didn't want to take the children with her, but Gu Mingda wanted to take the children back. The reason was that he was afraid that the old man would be exhausted and the children would get lost again; the second reason was that the scenery in Jiangzhou Prefecture was different from other places, and he also wanted to take the children to broaden their horizons.

Just as the Gu family had packed their bags, someone came to the door.

"Brother Gu, I haven't congratulated you on getting the first place yet!"

After not seeing each other for several months, Sun Jiaxing's face was now rosy and he looked very high-spirited.

Gu Mingda was also surprised to see him, and said with a bow: "The news that Brother Sun got the second place in the examination has spread all over the city. I should congratulate Brother Sun."

Sun Jiaxing smiled heartily and said: "It was just luck. It was all thanks to Niuniu. If she hadn't reminded me, I don't know if I would have survived to come back."

The Gu family was surprised when they heard this.

"When I arrived in Beijing, other fellow townspeople invited me to stay at Zhaoyue Guesthouse, thinking it was cheaper than other hotels. I was about to move in, but suddenly I remembered Niuniu's advice and changed to another hotel. Although I spent more money, I escaped a disaster. Unfortunately, my fellow townsman was greedy and refused to change with me. After the New Year, there was a fire in Zhaoyue Guesthouse, and many candidates were burned."

"If many people were unable to take the exam, I'm afraid it would not be so easy for me to pass the exam."

"The adults in Beijing also joked that the Jinshi of our class might be the worst batch."

Although Sun Jiaxing said so, he looked like he was not affected by these words at all.

Gu Mingda said, "Brother Sun is too modest. Even if the inn caught fire, only dozens of candidates from the inn could not take the exam. How could it be so widespread?"

Sun Jiaxing sighed and said, "Before the incident, the owner of Zhaoyue Inn bought all the houses on that street and connected them to become the first inn in Beijing. When the fire broke out, there were 300 candidates living in his inn. Burning a few houses was not a big deal. So many candidates got together to sue the inn for being careless and made a fuss in Jingzhao Prefecture for several days..."

This fire was indeed the fault of the inn. Jingzhao Prefecture also sentenced the inn to pay compensation to the candidates. The compensation ranged from thousands of taels to hundreds of taels, which ruined their future. The former wealthy merchants in Beijing collapsed overnight and sold many properties to settle the lawsuit.

"The fire was so big that it took two days to put it out. My fellow villager was lucky and only burned his hands. The unlucky one was burned to the bone." Sun Jiaxing was very scared when he mentioned this.

Sun Jiaxing sent many gifts to the Gu family this time, but the most precious one was a heavy gold collar.

Sun Jiaxing ignored Gu Mingda's obstruction and insisted on putting the gold collar on Niuniu's neck.

Niuniu felt her neck sink and her head didn't seem to be her own. She said, "It's so heavy... I can't stand anymore..."

Sun Jiaxing laughed and said, "This is just the beginning. When you get married, I will make you a big golden headpiece!"

"Brother Sun, this is too expensive. It's just a casual remark from a child. You don't have to give such a generous gift." Gu Mingda helped Niu Niu take off the gold collar.

But Sun Jiaxing insisted on giving it to her, saying, "Although it was just a casual remark from Niu Niu, it saved my life and my future. Niu Niu is my little benefactor, and I should give her a valuable gift."

Niu Niu held the gold collar in front of Sun Jiaxing and said, "Uncle Sun, thank you for giving me the gold collar. I want to give it to your baby as a gift."

Sun Jiaxing couldn't help laughing again and said, "What a pity. I made a pair of these collars, and I left one for Changshou at home."

"Changshou?" Niu Niu looked surprised.

Sun Jiaxing smiled and explained, "Your aunt gave birth to a son ten days ago. His nickname is Changshou."

Gu Mingda congratulated him repeatedly.

Sun Jiaxing and his wife had been married for ten years without a child, but now they are content with a child. When talking about the child, Sun Jiaxing couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Changshou's eyes are like Niu Niu, big. Changshou's nose is also like Niu Niu, small and delicate..."

If someone who didn't know what Sun Jiaxing said heard it, they might think Changshou was Niu Niu's younger brother.

At this point, Sun Jiaxing showed his true intention and said, "Brother Gu, my wife and I like Niu Niu very much. If possible, can you be our daughter?"
