Chapter 210: Squeeze

Younger Brother Shen tried other dishes. He was young and his taste was similar to that of a child.

He had eaten all kinds of chicken, but this was the first time he had eaten fried chicken. He didn't know what condiments were wrapped around the whole chicken, but it was better than the countless kinds of chicken he had eaten in the past.

There were two plates of fried food on the table, one was fried chicken, and the other was a fried food platter, with fried mushrooms, fried meat, and fried tofu, and served with a unique sauce and a layer of steamed pancakes, which was quite novel.

The princess didn't touch the delicacies, but praised the sour beans and pork.

"This method is rare. It's simple when you think about it, but few people do it this way. The chef in your house is a thoughtful person." The princess praised.

When the food was served, it was novel again.

A large casserole was served, filled with braised pork, paired with refreshing and crisp pickles, and the golden rice crust at the bottom was also soaked in the fragrance of oil.

Every grain of rice was stained with the sauce of the braised pork. When I took a bite, I felt full of happiness.

The princess still maintained her good manners, but Brother Shen didn't look like a noble son at all. He almost buried his head in the bowl and kept saying "delicious".

"No wonder Niuniu didn't let me see the cook. It turns out she was afraid that I would poach him." Brother Shen complained casually.

After hearing this, the princess gave up the idea of ​​summoning the cook and only ordered people to prepare a reward for the cook.

The dinner was a great success. Brother Shen ate a lot and he even shouted, "I wish I could have three meals a day at your house."

The princess looked at him with a smile and said, "If you really want to, it's not a bad idea."

Brother Shen's eyes lit up and he said to his mother, "If that's the case, I'll move in today!"

The princess tapped him on the head gently and said, "Don't jump up and down in front of the master."

Brother Shen was puzzled.

The princess explained, "When the day is chosen, I will let you perform the formal ceremony of paying respect to your teacher."

Brother Shen looked at Gu Mingda, who nodded slightly at him.

"I'm paying respect to Uncle Gu, so I should be considered the senior brother of Niuniu and A Zhao?" Brother Shen said after realizing it.

Shen Ling smiled and said, "You are a newcomer, and you still want to be the senior brother?"

Brother Shen wailed.

Gu Zhao was so excited that he wanted to jump up: "Great, I'm a senior brother!"

Niuniu comforted: "Brother Shen, I still call you brother."

Brother Shen listened to the little girl's words and felt a little comforted, and then looked at Gu Zhao with expectant eyes.

Gu Zhao didn't care about these. He was jumping up and down at this time, and he was showing off to everyone he met: "I have a junior brother, and I will be Senior Brother Zhao in the future!"

Brother Shen:...

In the end, it was Gu Mingda who ended this farce. He grabbed Gu Zhao and said: "Liu Yue, you send the young master to the school and let him listen to the teacher's lectures carefully."

Hearing this, the honest and simple Liu Yue immediately ran over and took Gu Zhao's hand to go out.

Gu Zhao hadn't shown off enough, but when he saw his parents' faces gloomy, he didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore and went out honestly.

As soon as he entered the school, his classmate asked casually: "Gu Zhao, do you still remember what the teacher taught this morning?"

Gu Zhao's ears automatically filtered out what he didn't want to hear, and asked his deskmate: "How do you know I'm a senior brother?"

Classmate:?

Gu Zhao continued to straighten his body and show off: "My father just accepted a disciple today, who is ten years older than me, but he still calls me a senior brother."

The princess did not stay in the Gu family for long. After lunch, she took her daughter away and only kept Brother Shen.

Brother Shen forgot about his junior brother in the shortest time. He excitedly said to the Gu family: "It's agreed that I will accompany you to have a good stroll in the capital!"

When he said this, he looked at Gu Mingda with a guilty look. After all, this is his future master. He is afraid of being scolded by the teacher for not doing his job properly.

In the past, all his teachers could not stand the word "play". If he just mentioned it, they would scold him and make a big fuss about any mistake.

Over time, Brother Shen no longer liked to study and was even afraid to meet his teacher.

Gu Mingda was not angry, but bowed to him and said, "Young Master Shen, the spring exam is coming soon. I am afraid I can't accompany you. Please accompany them. Thank you for your hard work."

Although Brother Shen has a child's mind, he likes to be treated as an adult, especially Gu Mingda is his respected elder and future teacher.

At this time, he felt as if he had a heavy responsibility, and immediately patted his chest and promised: "Uncle Gu, don't worry, I will take good care of everyone."

Except for Gu Mingda and Gu Yan who had to stay at home to review their studies, all other members of the Gu family went out.

Brother Shen and his sister knew the capital very well. They took the Gu family to visit for most of the day and returned only after dark.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." Brother Shen's face was still red with excitement when they said goodbye.

He always felt that there was nothing fun in the capital, so he was a little stimulated and wanted to travel far away from the capital along the Jiuqu River.

Now he found that the capital is still the same capital, but it has become much more interesting with the change of people around him.

Although he was not a good man, he never lingered in the streets of red-light districts like other dandies. Instead, he was devoted to looking for delicious food. He could not meet close friends outside, and his father would constantly belittle him when he returned home. Although the first half of Brother Shen's life was splendid, it was full of frustration.

Although the Gu family was old and young, they were all good at providing emotional value.

Brother Shen took them to visit the capital, and they would be amazed and praise every place they went to.

"If it weren't for you, a native of the capital, taking me there, how would I know there are such fun places." The exclamation in the eyes of the old lady Gu was all real.

The object of her exclamation was just a storytelling teahouse in the capital.

The old lady was not polite at all, but a real sigh.

"Brother Shen, I have lived for so many years and have really broadened my horizons. Thank you." The old lady's eyes were full of pure gratitude.

At that moment, Brother Shen had a feeling that the old lady's words were not said to the son of the eldest princess, but purely to him.

Even Father Gu, who was a little confused, held Brother Shen's hand when they parted.

Niuniu stared at the whole way, even if she was sleepy and rubbed her eyes, she still insisted on seeing the new things. When she arrived at the door of her house, she fell asleep in Zhang Yunniang's arms.

Zhang Yunniang looked at Brother Shen with apology: "Ayan will take the exam for Baiyun Academy tomorrow, and the whole family will go with him."

Brother Shen was a little envious when he heard this.

The Gu family was not rich, but the closeness between family members was not available in the princess's mansion. His mother stayed in the palace most of the time, his sister was obsessed with studies, and his father was never seen, which made him look redundant.

"Baiyun Academy, I haven't been there yet, can I go with you tomorrow?" Brother Shen asked expectantly.

Zhang Yunniang said, "There's nothing wrong with going together, but we have to leave the city before dawn tomorrow, and I'm afraid the young master won't be able to get out of bed."

Shen Xiaoge lives in the inner city, so he has to get up earlier to leave the city.

Shen Xiaoge immediately said, "I won't go back tonight, I'll squeeze in with A Zhao, okay?"

He really wanted to stay with the Gu family and didn't want to go back to face the cold courtyard.
