With space in hand, who dares to mess with the villain's stepmother?

Chapter 20 020. Monopoly
And looking at the word "Minsheng" on the paper, Erbao's facial features were all wrinkled together, "Mother~ Do we have to learn? Do we all have to learn? Isn't it good as it is now!"

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Erbao and said, "Erbao, what do you want to be when you grow up? What kind of person do you want to be?"

Er Bao was stunned for a moment, "Uh... I haven't thought about it, it's too far away."

"Then start thinking now, think about it carefully, what kind of life do you want yourself to have?"

"..." Time fell silent, Er Bao frowned and thought about it.

What kind of person does he want to be?First of all, I have no worries about food and clothing, and now I have achieved it, and then I have many friends, eat meat with them, and I can practice boxing with my brothers, beat bad guys, the most important thing is freedom, and play as heartlessly as now, You can also ride a horse to the ends of the earth and practice martial arts to the best in the world!

So... who does he want to be?Open a martial arts gym?To be a martial artist?Or... General?right!He wants to be a great general, heroic, able to run freely on horseback, and fight bad guys with his friends. This is his most dreamy and passionate life!
"Mom! I want to be a great general!" His eyes were full of enthusiasm, as if he was going to put on armor and go to war now.

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled lightly, as expected, and then said: "To be a general, you need to be able to read and write, otherwise you can't understand the map, the military newspaper, how to arrange tactics? How to lead troops to fight? If you If you want to do it, you have to work hard towards that goal!"

Hearing this, Erbao had a bitter face again, "It's so troublesome to be a general~"

Gu Xiaoxiao added: "It's not that the general is in trouble, but any position in this world is like this. If you can't read and write, you can only farm here with the villagers. Would you like to?"

Erbao immediately shook his head.

farming?Then he would not be able to ride a horse to the end of the world. He lived in a small house, and with his personality, he might not even be able to eat meat.No, no, he never wants to do this!
"Mom! I'll learn! I'll work hard! I don't want to farm, I want to be a general!"

The corners of Gu Xiaoxiao's mouth curled up again, and she smiled with satisfaction.

This time, she will never let Zhou Zeyun go to the battlefield to fight for fame, nor will Zhou Zeyun pass on his position to Erbao after his death, so if Erbao wants to be a general, he must rely on his own ability, otherwise It just ended up like in the original book.

Zhou Zeyun looked at Gu Xiaoxiao from the side, admiring him very much in his heart, and the throbbing in his heart became more intense.

Sanbao didn't have any extra emotions, anyway, he would do whatever his mother said.

The same is true for Sibao, but he still hesitated, pouted, "Mother, we...can't write."

Erbao also realized at this time that he still needs to ask them to write their opinions, but they can't write!

"Yeah, mother, the few of us, except for the eldest brother who learned Braille from Dad, none of us know how to read."

Sanbao thought for a while and still didn't say a word. In fact, he knew a few words. When his elder brother was learning from his father, he secretly read them a few times, but he only knew a few words.

Gu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, what should I do!

"How about... I will write for them?" Zhou Zeyun said aloud from the side.

Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up immediately, "That's right! They tell you what to write, and you write for them. This is a good way!"

Dabao said at this time: "Father, you taught me, I can write by myself."

"Can you do it? You haven't learned much..." Zhou Zeyun worried.

"It's okay, I can do it!" He was firm.

Seeing this, Zhou Zeyun didn't say anything anymore.

Gu Xiaoxiao was also a little surprised by Dabao's performance. He seemed to attach great importance to it. He deserved to be the future Minister of Dali Temple with courage!
In this way, it was settled, Dabao wrote it himself, Zhou Zeyun ghostwritten the other three, and handed it over to Gu Xiaoxiao three days later, and she took it to Teacher Xu.

In the next three days, apart from eating, Gu Xiaoxiao watched Dabao seriously writing on the table with a pen and paper in his hands, feeling very immersed.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't bother him either. She knew that the child was high-minded and wanted a lot, so she was more willing to fight for it.As his mother, she will support him as long as he walks the right path.

And because Zhou Zeyun was ghostwriting for the children, Gu Xiaoxiao could see his writing clearly. The strokes of small block letters came into view. The writing was strong and square, and it also had Zhou Zeyun's unique characteristics. It can be seen that The person who writes has a grand spirit, and the atmosphere is also retractable at the same time. The children's views are put on paper in a hurry.

Gu Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "Zhou Zeyun, write down your views too."

He was slightly taken aback, turned his head to look at Gu Xiaoxiao, with surging eyes hidden in his eyes, and asked softly, "Can I... also?"

"Why not? If you study hard now, you will be able to take the imperial examination right away, which is much faster than these bastards. Wouldn't investing in you pay off faster!" She raised her eyebrows and teased.

Zhou Zeyun blushed, still hesitating, "But I'm not sure...and I can't let you earn money to support the family by yourself. I'd better find a job and learn this...Let's leave it to the children."

He pursed his lips lightly after speaking.He also thought about taking the imperial examination before, but his parents disagreed, saying that it was a waste of money, and it was more suitable for him to go out to work.Now that he is in good health, but if he can't bear the responsibility of being a man and still points at a woman to support him, then it's really inappropriate!

Although he also wants to try it, he also has his ambitions, but he can't be so selfish!

Gu Xiaoxiao patted him on the shoulder and said with firm eyes, "You can do it, I believe in you!" Just like Zhou Zeyun gave her trust before.

After a pause, he said again: "You don't have to worry about the money, there is a share from Shiweixuan, and it's still affordable for you to study! And... I just let you write an article for a try, in case the teacher doesn't like you , even if I want you to read it, I can't help it~" She pouted, pretending not to care, and said that she didn't want to put so much pressure on Zhou Zeyun.

But she could also see that Zhou Zeyun really wanted to take the imperial examination route, but in the original book, he went to the battlefield and used his flesh and blood to spell out the title of general, and ended up being separated from his body and head.Now she will take him for a walk in another way, to try out the love in his heart!If not, she will carry it around!

"And if you succeed in being a scholar, it will be a great contribution to our family! I will be exempted from tax when I start a business in the future!" She encouraged him in a different way, her big eyes were shining, revealing clarity and purity.

Looking into Zhou Zeyun's eyes made him feel relieved for no reason, and thought about her words carefully.If this is the case, then he will definitely work hard to get fame, and he will also do something for her!
He finally made up his mind.Gu Xiaoxiao also smiled with satisfaction.

Three days passed quickly, and when it was time to reply, Gu Xiaoxiao just woke up early in the morning, and when she went out, she saw Zhou Zeyun and Dabao holding the article in their hands nervously, standing neatly waiting for her.

She raised her eyebrows, stepped forward, and looked at the paper in their hands.

Dabao held a thin sheet in his hand, holding it carefully. It was obviously written by him with his own heart, and it still had wrinkles from many frictions. However, the writing style was slightly rusty and the handwriting was a bit crooked, but it also had his own Petite, but pretty.

In Zhou Zeyun's hand, there were four, presumably they belonged to him and the other three children, the pages were smooth, the writing was even, and they looked like everyone else.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't say much, but put away their articles together and handed them over to Teacher Xu today.

After lunch, under the nervous and expectant eyes of Zhou Zeyun and the children, she walked out of the house with a basket on her back and walked to the town.

Going back and forth this time will take some time on the road, so buy a car when you have more money in the future!

But now I can only keep this idea, at most think about it.

She didn't delay when she reached the town, and went directly to Shiweixuan, she was still looking forward to how much silver taels she could get this time!
And Xu Jiaoxi had been waiting there long ago.Gu Xiaoxiao was a little suspicious that he might be counting on him to give him a meal in such an earnest way!
She curled her lips and went to Xu Jiaoxi, who had already seen Gu Xiaoxiao's figure and greeted him with a smile.

"Hey! Girl! How's it going! Old man, let me keep my word! I've been waiting for you here for a long time!"

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, handed the article she received in the morning to Xu Jiaoxi from her sleeve, and said slowly: "Look first, I still have something to do, I will come to you later."

As she said that, she raised her foot to find shopkeeper Wang. Although learning is very important, her money is even more important!I feel uncomfortable if I don’t get it in my hand!

Seeing that she was about to leave without stopping, Xu Jiaoxi hurriedly stopped her, smiled, touched her stomach and said: "Girl, girl! I came to wait for you this early in the morning, and my stomach is empty at this time! I’m hungry, so I get dizzy easily, and I can’t see what’s written on this paper!” After speaking, he pretended to be weak and held his head.

Seeing the appearance of this old child, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing, how could there be such an unscrupulous teaching!
It was also in her expectation, and she didn't care about this meal. After all, if she passed the test, Xu Jiaoxi would have to eat and live at her house in the future, and it would not be just this meal.

Then he asked Xiaoer to order him the two dishes she taught, plus a bowl of rice.

"Is it alright now?"

"It's fine, it's fine. If you have something to do, go to work. I'll eat and watch while you're here. Don't worry, I'll wait for something to eat!" He smiled until his eyes narrowed.

"Cannibalism has a short mouth, you have to give it to me, admit it! Really! Look!" Gu Xiaoxiao raised his eyebrows lightly, with warning eyes.

Xu Jiaoxi was shocked by what he said, and hurriedly nodded in response: "Look at what you said, that's for sure! I promised you, I will keep my word! Go, go, go." !"

Seeing him like this, Gu Xiaoxiao was amused, and didn't say anything, followed his push and pushed away to find shopkeeper Wang.

Shopkeeper Wang also seemed to be waiting for her, and when he saw her appear, he immediately greeted her respectfully, "Oh! Lady Gu is here!"

Originally, the people in the restaurant wanted to call her the second owner, but because it was Gu Xiaoxiao who revived Shiweixuan, everyone from Shopkeeper Wang to Aunt Sansao admired her.But she felt that calling her that was too high-profile, so she asked them to call her Mrs. Gu as before.

At this time, the shopkeeper Wang greeted Gu Xiaoxiao and bowed slightly.

"It's the end of the month, I'll get the money!" She said lightly.

"It's been prepared for you a long time ago! This way please!" Shopkeeper Wang made a "please" gesture, and then stepped forward to lead the way, and Gu Xiaoxiao also followed his direction.

It's just that shopkeeper Wang didn't take her to the accounting room, but went to the wing room on the second floor, where she met Xiao Mu for the first time.

Gu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, because she also thought that Shopkeeper Wang brought her here because of the favor of the person inside.

At this time, Xiao Mu must be in this room.

Shopkeeper Wang still stepped forward and knocked on the mahogany door like last time, but there was still a sound of "enter" from inside.

It's just that the voice this time is different from last time. Gu Xiaoxiao thought of Xiao Mu's new servant. Anyway, it does look quite dull, no wonder Xiao Mu can complain like that!
As the door slowly opened, Gu Xiaoxiao saw Xiao Mu who was still sitting in the main seat.

"Miss Gu, what's the matter, didn't expect it to be me?" Xiao Mu teased with a smile.He thought his appearance was a surprise, at least it could surprise Gu Xiaoxiao a little bit.

But Gu Xiaoxiao didn't do what he wanted, she walked in and sat directly opposite him, put her hands on the table, her face was calm, and she looked at him like she was looking at a fool.

The round table between the two is still the same as last time.

Xiao Mu was a little embarrassed. How could this scene be so familiar? He thought of the first time he and Gu Xiaoxiao were at war.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so she asked directly: "What's the point of bringing me here? Tell me!"

Xiao Mu coughed lightly, recovered her senses, and said seriously: "Miss Gu, I came here to discuss with you, and now Shiweixuan has become more famous and profitable because of your dishes, so I want to strike while the iron is hot and spread the taste of food. The restaurant is opened to other states, which is what you said in the past, help me open the Shiweixuan to the north and south of the river!"

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, expressing her understanding, and then said puzzledly: "I have already helped you, my food is the promise to help you spread the world, I have already provided one dish every month, if you want to open a branch Just decide for yourself, why did you call me here?"

"Didn't I let you know, and I also want to hear your suggestion."

She looked at Xiao Mu, her expression was still flat, "Where's my money?"

Want her advice?Want to be a white wolf with empty gloves?Think beautiful!Give her [-]% of the profit first!
Xiao Mu was also too excited about opening a new store, so he forgot about paying the money, and he even asked the accountant to transfer Mrs. Gu's share to him, and he handed it over to Gu Xiaoxiao, and immediately responded: "Oh Oh oh! That's right! Ah Cai!" He turned his head and gave the servant beside him a look.

Ah Cai who was beside him took a step forward at this moment, and put the bank note that he had been holding all along on the table in front of Gu Xiaoxiao.

Following Ah Cai's actions, Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes also fell on the bank notes on the table.

Good guy!For such a long time, her money has been held in other people's hands!If she doesn't mention it, she doesn't plan to give it to her, right?

Immediately, he raised his hand and picked up the bank note, which was a full 800 taels!In fact, she didn't expect there to be so many. It seems that her dishes are quite suitable for the appetite of the people here!
At this time, she was still calm on the surface, but she was extremely comfortable in her heart.

rich!She can implement her ideas again!It is enough to buy a mountain, and there will even be 300 taels left.

She thought of her family's dilapidated house, and with the remaining money, she should rebuild the house. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and winter will be over in March and April. She doesn't think that thatched house can survive the wind and snow.

So it is still very urgent, and the teacher will go to their house by then!

After collecting the banknotes, she continued to look at Xiao Mu. Seeing that he was good to her husband, she continued to talk nonsense with him.

She pursed her lips lightly, thought for a moment and said, "I also agree that you want to open branches in other state cities. I don't have any suggestions in this regard, but I can still raise a little bit about other things." She paused After a moment, he glanced at Xiao Mu's attitude.

Xiao Mu listened carefully, seeing that Gu Xiaoxiao had paused, she said eagerly: "Please speak! Please speak!"

Seeing that he has a good attitude and is willing to listen to opinions, Gu Xiaoxiao continued: "Now you only work in restaurants, have you ever thought about...expanding in other directions, such as...monopolizing the food industry in the entire Han Kingdom! Your Xiao family has become the largest food merchant in the world!"

Although Xiao Mu didn't understand some words, but he understood the general meaning, and he was shocked when he heard Gu Xiaoxiao's thoughts.

Now he just wants to expand the Shiweixuan to other states. Although he also wants to have the opportunity to spread the Shiweixuan to the entire Han Kingdom in the future, he did not expect that Gu Xiaoxiao's ambition is much bigger than his. many!
"I know all the food recipes, it's up to you now, do you want to do it?" Speaking of this, Gu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of tea, lightly pecked and tasted it, giving Xiao Mu time to think about it think.

If he wants to make the Xiao family last for a long time, he must achieve the leading position, let alone in business, which businessman does not want his industry to spread all over the world!She was just giving him a chance for the sake of her little husband-in-law. If he was timid, she didn't mind doing it by herself in the future. Anyway, she was very confident in her ability, but it would be more troublesome in the future.

Hmm... This tea is not bad, she will buy some later and drink it at home!

After a long time, when Gu Xiaoxiao slowly drank three cups of tea and couldn't wait any longer, Xiao Mu finally said, "Okay! I promise you! Then... what do you want to do?"

Gu Xiaoxiao paused with the hand holding the teacup, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.This Xiao Mu did not disappoint her!
