The Strong Wife From Peasant Family Chapter 223 Vigor

The old man held Li Qingning in one hand and Liu Zhirou in the other, laughing merrily as he followed him in.

He sat on the chair, looked at Liu Zhimo, and patted his shoulder while feeling very gratified, "Good boy, you didn't disappoint grandfather." When he received Li Qingling's letter and heard about Liu Zhimo's results, he was so happy that he didn't sleep the entire night.

This time, as long as Liu Zhimo performed normally, he would definitely be able to pa.s.s the Elementary Scholar examination.

If others were to know that he had such a promising grandson-in-law, how much jealousy would they be towards him?

Especially in front of those old fellows, he had even more of a face.

Liu Zhimo laughed and said it modestly.

There was always someone better than him. He wouldn't let himself relax and study just because of his results.

He needed to learn a lot of things!

Seeing that Liu Zhimo did not have the slightest bit of arrogance, the old man nodded his head in satisfaction, "Prepare for the next two days. Grandfather will bring you to visit Mr. Luo." If not for the fact that he had treated Luo Sheng and had some relations.h.i.+p with him, it would be even harder to meet Mr. Luo than ascending to the heavens.

"Grandfather, are you talking about Luo Bin, Mr. Luo?" Liu Zhimo looked at the old man excitedly. Mr. Luo was famous throughout the country, even if he could not become his disciple, he could still gain a lot if he could give a few pointers.

The old man nodded and said, it was the famous Mr. Luo.

Seeing how excited Liu Zhimo was, the old man gave him a precautionary measure first, "Mr. Luo is very strict in accepting disciples. Many princes wanted to take him as their master, but they were all rejected by him immediately. Mr. Luo did not fear power at all. Even the Emperor would not be able to force him to accept anyone who did not meet his requirements.

I heard that if it wasn't for the crown prince's intelligence, Mr. Luo would not have accepted him as his disciple.

Liu Zhimo laughed calmly, saying that he knew, because he wanted to see Mr. Luo.

"Alright, I will post to Mr. Luo later to see if he's at home tomorrow?"

"Thank you, grandpa."

The old man waved his hand, "Why are you being polite with grandpa? "That's it?" When he saw Li Qingning holding her stomach, looking at him continuously with a bashful look, he loudly laughed, and then patted Li Qingning's head, "So it turns out that our Little Ning Ning is really hungry, blame Grandfather, for forgetting this matter, if you endure any longer, Grandfather would have people bring the food over."

Li Qingning blushed as she scratched her head. Then, she smirked at the old man.

He hadn't eaten anything today and was already hungry.

The old man called out to the butler and told him to get someone to bring the food over. His precious granddaughter was hungry.

"Xiao Ling, I told the butler to ask the odont to bring some people over tomorrow. Pick one of them. Previously, there were only him and Da He in the family. They did not want to buy so many servants to keep them at home and thought that it was a waste of money. Now that Li Qingling and the others were here, they could not save on this money.

No matter how much money he spent, he couldn't let his grandchildren suffer.

Li Qingling nodded his head and said that he had no objections.

As the saying goes, do as the common people do. No matter how unwilling she was to be served, she still had to slowly get used to it.

"Old man, please tell me about the matters concerning the capital. Let me get familiar with it. In two days, I will find a shop and prepare to open a shop."

In this capital that she was unfamiliar with, she had to scout first.

Hearing this, the old man asked her what kind of shop she wanted to open.

"I originally wanted to open a roast duck restaurant, but after coming here, I thought I should first do a market survey and then think it over. In the end, what kind of restaurant would I open?"

The capital city was more prosperous than she had imagined. She had no choice but to slow down and investigate.

The old man frowned and knocked on the table.

Seeing him like this, Li Qingling pursed his lips, "Old man, what's wrong? Is there something wrong? " Could it be that this store was restricted from opening?

The old man reached out and tied his beard, looking at Li Qingling, he cleared his throat a little embarra.s.sedly, "Actually … "Actually, I'm not really familiar with this aspect. After we finish eating, I'll get the housekeeper to tell you." As an imperial physician, he was either at the Imperial Hospital or he was helping people treat their illnesses. How could he have the time to understand the market conditions in the capital?

He could talk to her for three days and three nights if she asked him what gossip he had in Beijing.

Cough cough … This couldn't be blamed on him, he didn't want to hear all those gossips either, but when he went to her house to help her treat her, those gossips involuntarily drifted into his ears. There was nothing he could do about that.

He glanced at Li Qingling again, thinking if he should tell her something about the underworld and make her be more cautious when interacting with others.

"..." Li Qingling speechlessly twitched his mouth. He thought that this Old Man would already know about it, but who knew that he wouldn't?

"Old man, you have been in the capital for so long. Are you wasting your time?"

"I'm very busy. How would I have time to ask about these things?" The old man pretended to be dissatisfied as he glared at Li Qingling, he really couldn't believe that he could hear such nice words from this girl's mouth, "Who allowed you to suddenly ask me this, if you had told me before, I would have asked around."

However, this was all part of his plan.

"Fine, fine, fine. I was wrong. I was wrong. I didn't tell you earlier."

"Hmph …" That's more like it. "

Li Qingling: "..."

At this moment, the butler led the servants and stood outside the door with food in hand. He called out respectfully, "Master, the food is here."

The old man waved his sleeves and instantly retracted his arrogant expression. He calmly said, "Bring it in."

Looking at the old man's changed expression, Li Qingling speechlessly moved the corner of his mouth. He felt that this old man really knew how to pretend.

If the butler and the rest saw the childish look on the old man's face, they would be so scared that their jaws would drop.

After placing the 10 dishes and the soup down, the butler left the room and let the servants stand by the side, ready to serve Li Qingling and the others a meal.

The old man was afraid that Li Qingling and the others might not get used to it, so he waved his hands and let the servants down.

After the servant left, Li Qingling took a fancy to the old man and teased, "Old man, I didn't expect you to be so extravagant." How many of them are there? How could he finish all ten dishes and one soup?

The old man knew that Li Qingling and the rest were afraid of wasting it, so he explained with a smile, "Normally it would not be like that. Normally, he would only eat two dishes and that would be enough. He would not let anyone cook more, "What do you want to eat in the future? Just tell the kitchen to do it, you know? "

Upon hearing this, warmth flowed through Li Qingling's heart, he shrugged his shoulders at the old man, "Then, I'll have to thank the old man." She picked up dishes with the old man, "There are so many dishes, the old man should eat more. Don't waste it."

Seeing that a small mountain of bowls had been piled up all of a sudden, the old man looked at Li Qingling connivantly, and laughed loudly: "Alright, alright, Grandfather eat a bit more. You guys also don't have to be courteous with Grandfather, eat as much as you want with your stomach." With that, he buried his head in his food.

If he did not let Li Qingling and the others see his reddened eyes, he thought that he would die of loneliness in this life. He did not expect that he would meet Li Qingling and the others, and let him enjoy the blessings of a child when he was old.

The heavens had not treated him badly.

Seeing the old man eat so delicious, Li Qingling and the others also lowered their heads and started to eat.

Li Qingling and the others were really hungry, and all of the dishes and soup were taken care of by them.

When the servants came to clean up the dishes, they were startled for a moment. They never would have thought that the new Eldest Miss had such a good appet.i.te and ate so much food.

Isn't this too scary?

The old man slumped back in his chair, touching his protruding belly. He exhaled lightly. He was full.

When he was with the children, he was overjoyed.

He looked around, only to see that Li Qingling and the rest were all slumped on chairs, smiling in front of him. It was not just him who was full, even the children were full.

"Let's go, I'm going to lie paralyzed on a chair. Let's go out for a walk to eat."

The old man stood up, then pulled Li Qingning and Liu Zhirou who was by his side up, and brought them to the door.

When Li Qingling and the others saw this, they immediately stood up and followed behind, going for a stroll in the flower garden to get some food.

"Ah Yan, tell First Miss about the matters concerning the capital." The old man went outside and waved to the butler when he saw him.

The butler replied and walked behind Li Qingling respectfully. He asked Li Qingling which aspect of the city he wanted to understand.

Li Qingling did not bother with formalities with the butler and directly asked her about what she wanted to know.

As expected of the butler, he could clearly speak of all the things that Li Qingling asked.

After strolling around the garden for two rounds, Li Qingling had a rough understanding of the capital.

She smiled and thanked the butler.

The butler bowed slightly and said, "Eldest Miss, what else do you want to know? "No matter what, this old servant will tell the truth to Eldest Miss." From his conversation with Li Qingling, he realized that Li Qingling did not seem like a village girl from the same village.

Moreover, the old grandpa truly valued this young miss. Just based on this point alone, he could not have any contempt for this young miss.

"Alright, thank you, butler uncle." Li Qingling could keenly feel that the butler was even more respectful towards her. She smiled and thought, if he wanted to quickly stand firm, he had to reveal the appropriate amount of strength.

Otherwise, others would think that you were easy to bully!

The butler said he didn't dare to accept the honor and bowed before leaving.

Li Qingling nodded his head, and decided to bring Zeng Tietou out for a stroll tomorrow morning.

What she knew from others was different from what she knew. If she did not find out personally, she would not be able to open this shop.
