After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 295 Looking for a job

Mrs. Gu said doubtfully: "My dear, I heard someone say before that no one will fail in the imperial examination, but if you want to get a good ranking, you have to have someone behind you... I thought your father..."

Niu Niu didn't know where Mrs. Gu heard this from, but the little girl said seriously: "Grandma, the rankings in the exam are also determined by real materials! If you have a good relationship with the eldest princess, you can If you can get a good ranking, then why doesn’t the eldest princess let Brother Changfeng take the exam?”

"Brother Changfeng is the biological son of the eldest princess. If we really can arrange it, we will never miss him!"

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she immediately couldn't find a reason to refute.

Niu Niu said again: "My father said that the imperial examination is a test for the court to select talents. The court is fair and strict and does not allow anyone to play tricks in this world! It is nonsense. If the people in the court listen to it, I don't know whether to make a fuss or not." See the official!"

The little girl's crisp words suddenly made everyone around her excited.

Mrs. Gu quickly changed her words: "Yes, yes, what my dear baby said is right, don't talk nonsense about these things! You almost got into trouble, but luckily my dear baby saved you!"

Hearing what Mrs. Gu said, the old lady who had been tricked earlier laughed dryly and said, "Look at what you said, how could it be so serious? Who would pay attention to the nonsense of a group of old ladies?"

Niuniu tugged at the corner of her grandmother's clothes.

Mrs. Gu lowered her head, and Niuniu leaned into Grandma's ear and said, "Grandma, I don't like Grandma Liu..."

Grandma Liu is the old lady who was tricked earlier. This person usually flatters Old Lady Gu no matter what happens. Old Lady Gu actually likes to interact with her.

But nothing in the world can compare to my granddaughter’s dislike.

Mrs. Gu's expression changed instantly and she said to Grandma Liu, "You are the loudest! If anything happens later, I will be the first to blame you!"

Mrs. Gu suddenly lost her mood to show off to them, and forced a smile on her face and said to the others: "I still have something to do at home. When I go back to celebrate, I will treat you to a drink!"

After saying this, Mrs. Gu took her granddaughter's hand and returned to the yard.

Mrs. Gu didn't have much knowledge and knew that her second son would ultimately make the final decision on all major matters in the family, so she whispered what had just happened to her second son.

"Second brother, you know me. I've always been a loudmouthed person, and I like to talk everywhere... I didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but Niuniu doesn't like Mrs. Liu, and it suddenly started to stir in my heart..."

Gu Mingda looked at his mother's fearful look, patted the old lady's shoulder comfortingly, and said, "Mom, you did the right thing. If we notice something is wrong, we will stop immediately."

"Will it affect your No. 1 pick?" The old lady was very concerned about this matter.

Gu Mingda said: "It shouldn't have a big impact, but if someone with a heart hears it, it will inevitably cause twists and turns."

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she immediately looked regretful and hit her chest with her hand: "It's all my fault! It's my fault that I can't stop my mouth. What should we do now? How about asking the eldest princess?"

Gu Mingda said: "It's just a setback, it doesn't directly cancel my position as the number one scholar. Our family knows our own affairs. This number one scholar was won based on our true ability, and we did not rely on the eldest princess. The court knows better than anyone else. At most there are some rumors.”

Mrs. Gu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Mingda took the opportunity to say: "Mom, our family was just an ordinary family in Qingshui Village before. Now that we have arrived in the capital, we are about to elect officials. The lintel will be completely changed. There are certain things that we cannot say outside casually." Gu Mingda took the opportunity to say. The old lady listened to the advice, and the previous trouble happened again. When Gu Mingda said this, the old lady immediately nodded.

"Second brother, I will listen to you. I will never mention you outside again..." Mrs. Gu asked again about her work at Li Yaren's place: "Can I continue to work at Li Yaren's place?"

Gu Mingda frowned slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment. When he was electing people, no one was looking at the Gu family, and no one would find fault with the old lady Gu. Now that he is going to be an official, if the old lady continues to be here, When working there, I am afraid that old ladies from other official families will exclude my own mother.

Seeing her son's expression, Mrs. Gu's heart suddenly became heavy. She didn't wait for her son to speak, and took the initiative to say: "Then I won't do it. Your future must be the first priority in everything. As an old lady, I don't necessarily I have to work for others... From now on, I will be an old lady at home... Most people don't have such a good life..."

Seeing his mother's dejected expression, Gu Mingda naturally understood that her mother was reluctant to take this job.

The old man is old and has been busy all his life. He has never been able to take time off. Now that he is about to quit his job, the light in his eyes seems to have disappeared.

"Why does grandma want to work for others?" Niu Niu suddenly said.

Gu Mingda was stunned when he heard this.

Mrs. Gu said: "My dear, the Ya people are one of the lower classes. Without the identity cards issued to them by the government, they can't do this business. We don't want to become a lowly class, and we don't have the identity cards. Let's give Li Yaren’s work is just taking advantage of the loopholes, and there is no way to stand on their own.”

Niu Niu said: "Grandma just wants to find something to do, and she is not really short of money. There is no need to do the same work as Yaren."

Mrs. Gu thought that if there was no money to drive her, she would not be willing to work for free.

Niuniu continued: "Grandma can open a shop by herself..."

Mrs. Gu quickly waved her hand: "My dear, I won't open a store. What if I lose money? Are you going to waste your parents' savings?"

Niu Niu's belly was full: "I have money, and I can use my money to open a shop for grandma!"

Mrs. Gu was moved, but she still shook her head: "My little ancestor, you dare to give it, but grandma doesn't dare to ask for it!"

Niu Niu raised her face and said: "What about doing business that doesn't require capital? Grandma's mouth is very good, and no one can compare with her in bargaining. Grandma's ears are also very good, and she can always hear the latest excitement. Grandma can make money with her words before. , you can also try to make money with your ears now!”

Mrs. Gu shook her head and said with a smile: "Silly boy, you can make a lot of money if you can speak well. How can you make money with your long ears? There is no way!"

Niu Niu immediately grimaced.

But Gu Mingda said: "If your ears are stretched out long, they can play a big role at critical moments, and maybe you can make money."

Mrs. Gu and Niu Niu opened their eyes together and looked at Gu Mingda with the same curious expression.

Gu Mingda said: "People come and go in the capital, and my mother usually hangs out in the city. Maybe the words about the family's shortcomings in the east and west are involved in some big events, and she earns a lot of money."

Mrs. Gu became more energetic: "Can you really make money?"
