Chapter 229: Upbringing

Spring to summer, the weather gradually began to get hot, especially in Guangzhou, the air is slightly humid, the Lou family is new to the arrival, very unaccustomed, Xiaoru did not dare to let her mother-in-law eat too many cold drinks, so she had to send her old man to the Li family's summer resort, to a group of small animals to adapt quite well.

In the flower hall, there was a circle of unknown vines, two little monkeys jumped up and down in between, and the little fox and obediently nested quietly in the shadows to enjoy the coolness.

"How did you get this?" Xiao Ru took her eyes off the 'treasure map' on the stone table, glanced at Wang Yang in surprise, her lips twitched, and the corner of her eyes swept over the middle-aged man who was sitting on the other side and had nothing to do with him, but she just frowned, and without saying anything, she waved her hand and asked Xiaoyan to take him down to clean his face.

In fact, the child's hands were very beautiful, the fingers were slender and flexible, and the nails were extremely short and neatly trimmed, but the whole palm of the hand had a thick layer of calluses.

Sitting opposite Xiao Ru, a middle-aged man with dark skin and not gorgeously dressed but very clean and refreshing was carrying a wine jug comfortably, slowly drinking a little monkey wine left by Xiao Ru, humming an unknown minor tune in his mouth, looking relaxed. He raised his hand, knocked on the table, pointed to the girl who had been restless since he entered the Lou's house, like a timid girl, like a guinea pig, and said with a smile: "It's her, my 'proud apprentice', the grandma you found for your family Fu'er......"

Seeing that the little girl in front of her had rough skin, the cowardice in her eyes was obvious. For a moment, he shrank obviously, a gray and rustic clothes that obviously did not fit, a scorched face, and skinny, no matter from which angle he looked at, he could not meet the standard of Zheng Zhiyuan's so-called proud apprentice, but the color on Xiao Ru's face did not change at all, so that the most famous shipbuilder of the Guangzhou generation, who had been staring at him, sighed in disappointment, shrugged his shoulders lazily, and said weakly: "Don't worry, I have found more than 200 small workers in two years, Only this Nizi has been doing all the miscellaneous things by my side for two whole years, just with this, let alone being a grandmother for your little girl, even if you meet a demon king of the world, it's no problem......"

Xiaoru was speechless, and sighed in her heart, a few days ago, she considered that her Fu'er had grown up, and wanted to find her a nurturing grandmother, not only to teach her etiquette and other things, but more importantly, to be able to play a good and effective role in discipline...... Since Xiao Ruxian, her own Fu'er went out to play, and three out of five times she would clash with the delicate daughter of the Guangzhou prefect's family, she understood that Fu'er needed someone who would keep an eye on her full-time......

Also, not only Fu'er, Jiang Yi has also had a troublesome junior there recently, so that Jiang Yi doesn't even have time to do beauty maintenance, and writes letters to complain all day long, so that Xiaoru can hardly stand it, Xiaoru ponders, or put the girls together to see if her Fu'er can affect each other.

She didn't worry about Fu'er learning badly from the girl in Jiang Yi's family, Xiaoru was still full of confidence in her education level for nearly ten years, even if Fu'er occasionally made trouble, she would not make mistakes on matters of principle. Besides, Li Jing's child Xiaoru has seen it before, although the girl was only a little older at that time, but it is said that when she is three years old, she is not a bad child.

The little girl in front of her can get out of Zheng Zhiyuan's hands, so no matter what her appearance is, at least she must have the carefulness, patience and understanding of ordinary people. Maybe it's a good candidate - you know, in Xiaoru's impression, for five years, the longest record of the small workers around Zheng Zhiyuan is twelve days, and almost everyone, even the children with soft temperaments, have all been defeated in front of this harsh, stern, always only accusing and scolding, and extremely eccentric temperament. Not only the small workers around him, but even the group of apprentices that Xiaoru personally wrote to him, so far, only Wang Yang has survived alone, and the others either ran home crying and shouting, or were tossed and driven out of the door by Zheng Zhiyuan, Xiaoru was also helpless in this regard.

Zheng Zhiyuan saw that Xiao Ru didn't say anything more, and took away a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng from Xiao Ru's hand, half a catty of Tai Sui, and a bunch of miscellaneous medicinal materials, so he turned around and left with satisfaction, and didn't look at the girl who was thrown in front of Xiao Ru by him like this......

"I, we...... Where is this going? Li Can, following Xiao Ru, walked out of the gate. Meng Nier took out a light blue paper umbrella, opened it, and covered Xiaoru and the little girl named Li Can inside.

"Don't worry, I won't sell you." Xiaoru said with a smile, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are not at home today, so I don't fire at home, I go out to eat...... By the way, I'm going to buy you some clothes that fit. "The clothes at home, whether they are their own or Meng Nier Xiaoyan's, this little girl definitely can't wear them, and if they are ready-made, they are too slow.

Li Can's face turned red and he lowered his head in embarrassment, but when he heard that Xiaoru was going out to eat, he hurriedly said, "I brought dry food...... No, you don't have to go outside, here, the food here is so expensive...... It's not like the countryside......"

"It's a restaurant owned by my friend, don't worry, I won't ask for your money." Xiao Ru sighed, Zheng Zhiyuan was too mean, he didn't even let this child eat...... She suddenly felt that this person, this person, is really a different fate, now the Great Xia Dynasty has not completely recovered from the influence of the war, there are many places that are very poor, children are not well fed, not warmly clothed, let alone studying, maybe in a year there will be a famine, they will starve all over the place, and some people, obviously their father and mother have created the best conditions for him, but they are sad all day long, looking for death and life, and do not know how to cherish it.

Take Yun Leshan, the niece of Jiang Yi's family, the baby daughter of Senior Brother Li Jing, a little girl who is only thirteen years old, but she ran to elope with a little white face who looks so disgusting, and was deceived by someone, making her own people not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, and she is known to the world, and her reputation is ruined, her mother fainted on the spot, Xiaoru personally went to the diagnosis and treatment for two days, and then she woke up after tossing people, it is estimated that she will have to stay in bed for at least two months, and now the whole city of Guangzhou is watching the girl's jokes, if it weren't for the Li family's power, Li Jing pressed it down, and she didn't know what scandal was going on.

Li Jing and his brothers are usually very busy with business, they are all rough people, besides, a few big men will not take care of the children, and the women of the Li family, except for Jiang Yi...... Ahem, then don't mention it, they are all very small families, Xiaoru still doesn't understand why the Li family, a big family that was quite wealthy in the previous dynasty, would not choose a daughter-in-law, and the women in the family, except for Jiang Yi, are all obedient people who don't have a sense of existence......

Xiaoru thought about it, maybe it would be appropriate to introduce Li Can to Leshan as a teacher, let her teach Leshan, and let Leshan see what those poor children are like, how they came out to make money at a young age, and how happy they are compared to them. You must know that even in Guangzhou, women who show up have to be talked about, Xiaoru can imagine how much pressure Li Can, a girl, insists on working with Zheng Zhiyuan.

"Li Can, the two girls you are going to teach this time are teaching, but in fact, as long as you accompany them and don't let them get into trouble...... One is my goddaughter, named Fu'er, whom you just met. The other is the daughter of my friend's eldest brother, named Yun Leshan,...... Needless to say, Fu'er has a lively temperament, so it shouldn't be difficult to bring, but there's another one...... Belch...... That child is not bad by nature, and people are also smart, but recently because of some trivial things, he made himself a little wrong, I believe you are a smart girl, you will understand when you see people, persuade and persuade her, you are about the same age, you should be able to play together, but, if she is disobedient and dares to give you anger, you must be tougher, don't let that little guy be bullied, you know? ”

Xiao Ru thought about it and decided to give a few words, although Xiao Leshan did not have the bad habit of bullying people, but it could not be ruled out that Nizi was in a bad mood and found someone to vent her anger.

"Well, don't worry, when I was at home, my two younger sisters were raised by me."

Xiaoru smiled bitterly, can the children in the countryside compare with these baby bumps? That little girl went out with seven people to serve, and the food and clothing were a little unsatisfactory, and she was about to make trouble......

"This, this, here?" Li Can was stunned to look at the Yunxiang Restaurant, which is located in the most prosperous area of Guangzhou City, full of elegant rhyme, and there was a big jade plaque hanging next to it, and there was only one word on the jade plaque - Li, even if she had never seen the market again, she knew that this was definitely not for ordinary people to enter, and she also knew that this was the Li family's restaurant.

Xiaoru raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Okay, shut your mouth, the little insects are going to fly in, isn't it just a small restaurant?" "This is the Li family's smallest business in Guangzhou City, it is said that it was to settle the famous chefs from all walks of life who were recruited by Jiang Yi to go home and get tired of eating for a while, Li Jing funded them to open a restaurant, but he never thought that Jiang Yi's food ** is really deep, more and more chefs are collected, and the Li family's restaurants are opening more and more, and now they are about to spread all over Guangzhou City.

Meng Nier and Xiaoyan had already gone in first, Xiao Ru pulled Li Can, who had stiff legs, and walked in, the shopkeeper at the door led the way respectfully, and opened the door of the innermost private room for her, Xiao Ru saw his look, and knew that this person obviously knew himself, but this is not surprising, the kitchen was not cleaned up a few days ago, and the things that came out were too rough, Xiao Ru and Lou Yi were not very good at the entrance, and they usually ran to the Li family's restaurant to eat white food.

Xiao Ru smiled, shook her head and said, "Get a screen, don't go inside." "Actually, sometimes it's fun to listen to other guests chatting in the lobby.

Pulling Li Can, Xiao Ru found a place surrounded by flowers and trees in the lobby and sat down, and several shopkeepers immediately sent a set of eight-sided landscape screens with great eyesight.
