Translator: 549690339
At this moment, Lord Cheng and his eldest son, Cheng Rui, pushed the door open and entered.
Gu shouxin sized up the official of Taoyuan County without leaving a trace. He looked like an honest official without a doubt. From his face, he could also see that this Lord Cheng was the kind of upright and outspoken person.
It was no wonder. The Yue family was the Minister of Personnel’s residence, but he was actually sent to a small county so far away from the capital.
It seemed that this Lord was not so smooth in the officialdom, but he should be devoted to the common people.
Gu shouxin admired the character of such people, but he looked down on the way they handled things.
When the water was clear, there would be no fish. In the officialdom, the places that needed to be smooth had to be smooth. This way, the power would be greater and the things that could be done for the people would be more.
While he was observing Lord Cheng, he did not forget eldest young master Cheng.
Master Cheng and Madam Cheng had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Cheng Rui, was 17 years old this year and looked like a graceful young master. However, Gu shouxin’s intuition told him that Cheng Rui was an ambitious person, completely different from his father.
Moreover, he had heard from Cai Xiaolian that the Cheng couple had high expectations for their eldest son. At such a young age, he had already taken the Imperial scholar’s examination and was currently in the ranks of students preparing for the exam.
Gu shouxin could take the same exam as Cheng Rui in this year.
After the father and son of the Cheng family sat down, they didn’t put on any airs at all. Gu shouxin himself was also a talented person, and the three men could also chat.
Lord Cheng had heard of Gu shouxin. He was very impressed by such a knowledgeable person who could turn over a new leaf.
He couldn’t help but use his status to persuade Gu shouxin to develop in a good direction.
On Mrs. Cheng’s side, she once again asked about the toiletries cooperation, and the men stopped talking and listened.
“Sister sun, I won’t hide it from you. These things were all figured out by niannian. You know our family will consider our children’s wishes. Why don’t you let niannian talk to you?” Cai Xiaolian laughed.
“Oh? It was actually made by lady Gu.” Lord Cheng asked in surprise.
Cheng Rui, who was standing beside her, also looked at Gu Nian.
He didn’t look at it carefully just now, but now that he looked over, he realized that it was a little different from what he had imagined.
The eldest daughter of the Gu family had a delicate appearance, but she was very generous. Her sitting posture was not like the ordinary village girls he usually saw. She was like a lady from a big family, but she had a bearing that a lady from a big family did not have.
father, sister Nian Nian is amazing. She can also cook delicious food. Xiao Yu loves to eat the food she makes! Cheng huaijin was in awe of Gu Nian. When he heard his father’s question, he rushed to answer.
“Lord Cheng, I did it. One day, I suddenly felt that my mouth was still uncomfortable after rinsing it with the Willow and green salt, so I made it myself.” Gu Nian replied generously.
He wasn’t afraid just because the person in front of him was the county Magistrate. He spoke as if he was talking to an elder.
Cheng Rui could not help but look at Gu Nian again.
Of course, Gu Nian had noticed Cheng Rui’s gaze. However, she did not care. In her opinion, Cheng Rui was just like her unlucky nephew at his age. She was not interested in young men of his age.
“Auntie sun, it’s not impossible to open a shop together. However, if we are to work together on this, the conditions can not be the same as the drunken River Restaurant.” Gu Nian looked at Mrs. Cheng and said with a smile.
