Chapter 266 Fine Cotton Cloth

The princess looked at her daughter's expectant expression and nodded: "Since Mr. Gu doesn't mind the trouble, I won't be the bad guy either. I just need to put safety first. Remember?"

Shen Ling cheered on the spot. She could finally do interesting things like her brother!

"The Gu family is easy to talk to. Don't say that the eldest lady has a bad temper and delay their work, okay?" The princess reminded again.

Shen Ling said: "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of ignorant person! Niuniu also invited me to her house for breakfast, saying that she had made fresh dishes and must let me taste them!"

When the princess heard this, she immediately recalled the meal at the Gu family. The chef's heat was not perfect, but the dishes were really novel. Later, she asked the chef of the princess's house to make similar dishes, but she felt that they were not as authentic as the chef of the Gu family.

"Please ask for me later to see if the chef of the Gu family is willing to come to the princess's house, or if he can accept an apprentice or something like that." The princess said.

Shen Ling also had this idea, but Niu Niu rejected it several times, saying, "It won't work. Gu's cook seems to have some unspeakable secrets and won't see outsiders."

Although the princess felt it was a pity, she didn't mean to poach the cook. She gave up when she heard it wouldn't work.

In this way, Gu Mingda thought the princess agreed, and the princess thought it was Gu Mingda's suggestion, so the matter was done. They didn't know that from beginning to end, it was just Shen Ling's private request to Niu Niu.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Mrs. Gu went out to work.

The old lady had never felt that the burden on her was so heavy. The night before she left, she lay on the bed and turned around like a pancake.

The old lady forced Father Gu to hold the quilt and go into Gu Yan's room to make do for the night.

Shen Ling came very early.

The crazy girl also attached great importance to Niu Niu's affairs. When she heard Niu Niu said that a friend came to have breakfast, she immediately used all her skills.

In this way, Shen Ling had a rich and appetizing breakfast at Gu's house.

When they were about to leave, Shen Ling pulled Niu Niu and asked, "Is the place we are going to far? Can we come back before lunch?"

Shen Ling wanted to have another lunch at Gu's house.

Niu Niu shook her head and said, "The place we are going to is close to Xianyue Tower, and we will have lunch there at noon!"

Shen Ling said, "Xianyue Tower, Xianyue Tower has a great reputation in Beijing recently. I heard that there is a courtyard there that only welcomes female guests. I have always wanted to go and see it, but I have no time. Today is a coincidence. However, I heard that it is difficult to book a private room there, and the queue has to be several days."

Niu Niu nodded and said, "The owner of Xianyue Tower is Aunt Liu's fiancé. If you want to book a private room next time, just let me know!"

Shen Ling naturally knew that as long as she brought up the name of the Princess's Mansion, these restaurants would not dare to neglect her, but relying on her mother's power and her friends' face, it was obviously different.

"That's great. I will definitely help take care of the business."

Shen Ling made special preparations for today. She wore what she thought was a very simple dress, but before leaving, Zhang Yunniang tactfully persuaded her to change her clothes.

Although Shen Ling was only fourteen years old, she was about the same height as Zhang Yunniang. Zhang Yunniang took a set of clothes she had not worn yet and gave it to Shen Ling.

Zhang Yunniang was prepared for Shen Ling to be unhappy, but she didn't expect Shen Ling's reaction to be different from that of ordinary people.

"Although the color of this fabric is not good-looking, it feels very soft when worn on the body."

What Shen Ling praised so much was not some brocade clothes, but the most ordinary fine cotton clothes.

Shen Ling was obviously not worldly. She even asked Niuniu, "Do ordinary people wear this kind of clothes?"

Niuniu was young, but she had experienced hard times. She shook her head and said, "When life was hard at home, I couldn't even wear coarse cloth clothes. Now that my family is not short of money, I can afford to wear such fine cotton cloth."

Shen Ling asked, "What does coarse cloth clothes look like?"

Old Lady Gu immediately waved her hand, and Madam Qi came over.

Shen Ling touched Madam Qi's clothes, which were so hard that they pricked her hand.

"How can you wear such uncomfortable clothes? How uncomfortable!" Shen Ling couldn't help but sighed.

Others couldn't help laughing when they heard these naive words.

"Miss Shen, for ordinary people, it is already very decent to have a set of unpatched coarse cloth clothes. How dare you ask for more?" Zhang Yunniang said.

Shen Ling suddenly thought of what Niu Niu had just said, and asked again: "You said before that it was not your turn to wear coarse cloth clothes, so what did you wear?"

"Wear rags and patched clothes!" Niu Niu said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Shen Ling did not dare to imagine what kind of life that was. She wanted to continue asking, but Shen Changfeng pulled his sister aside and lowered his voice to tell Niu Niu's original origin.

It was the first time that Shen Ling knew that Niu Niu was not Gu's biological child, but an adopted girl.

She looked at Niu Niu with a little more heartache.

But Niu Niu never felt that her life was miserable, and smiled and said to Shen Ling: "Sister Ling, you don't have to look at me like this. Niu Niu is not a pitiful child, Niu Niu is the most favorite child in the family!"

Shen Ling paused after hearing this.

Those details that she had noticed before but didn't think about in detail came to her mind again.

Old Lady Gu's eyes have been on Niu Niu. Shen Ling only thought that this old lady was not like other old people who favored boys over girls. Now that he heard Niu Niu say this, Shen Ling was sure that the Gu family really spoiled Niu Niu as their own child.

Gu Mingda was not like an ordinary father who didn't care about his daughter's education. Instead, he had a serious plan, fearing that his daughter would go astray.

Shen Ling looked at Niu Niu's innocent and romantic look, and couldn't help but think of the mess in his family. He couldn't help thinking that his life might not be as happy as Niu Niu's!

Li Yaren and Old Lady Gu made an appointment at Hongye Lane. He only knew that Old Lady Gu was going to bring her younger generation over. When he really saw Shen Ling and Shen Changfeng, he didn't think much about it. He just sighed in his heart that the brother and sister were really good-looking, with delicate skin and tender flesh, and didn't look like they were from a small family.

"Old lady, the house we are selling this time is a two-story house. We already have a buyer, but this buyer is different from ordinary people. It's not easy to talk to her. Please coax her." Li Yaren said so.

Old lady Gu didn't think much about it and nodded casually.

But when she really met the person, Old lady Gu realized how troublesome it was.

"My husband likes quietness. The neighbors have too many children, and the tree in front blocks the light. You go and ask the neighbors to restrain their children and have them cut down the tree on the corner, and I will buy this house!"
