Chapter 265 Ning Bao isn't fat at all, Ning Bao just has baby fat.

Gu Xiang was originally a servant in the Gu family, and he was about the same age as Gu Fu, the steward of the current prefect's mansion. You could say they were brothers who grew up together.

Although they were not blood brothers, they both took their master's surname, Gu.

Gu Fu was overjoyed to see Gu Xiang and rushed towards him.

"Gu Xiang, did you come back with Miss? Why didn't you go into the city?"

Gu Xiang glanced angrily at the guards and the man lying on the ground groaning.

"I was just about to enter the city, but even after paying the ten-coin entrance fee, they still wouldn't let me in."

Moreover, upon hearing that I was going to the prefect's residence, they actually summoned a group of thugs to attack me.

I was just worried something had happened at the prefect's residence, but seeing you puts my mind at ease.

"Not allowed in?" Gu Fu looked at the guard in confusion.

"Why won't you let us in? Do you know who this is?"

This is the most capable housekeeper of my eldest daughter, the Gu family's young lady. My young lady is the prefect's own sister, and one of the people the prefect values ​​more than his own life.

Gu Fu paused for a moment,

"Wait a minute, when did Yunlu City start charging an entrance fee?"

"Gu Xiang, come with me to the prefect and discuss this matter."

As Gu Fu spoke, he pulled Gu Xiang along, preparing to enter the city.

Suddenly he looked up and saw the little girl in Gu Xiang's arms, her eyes blinking and staring at him.

"Wow! What an adorable chubby baby!"

Cute? Ningbao was very happy; she has always considered herself very cute.

But is he fat?

Is she fat?

Ning Bao silently shook her head.

"Hello, grandpa. My name is Su Wanning, nickname Ningbao. I am a friend of the housekeeper."

I agree with half of what you just said, and disagree with the other half.

Gu Fu: "…………"

Ningbao confidently tilted her little face up and continued speaking to herself.

"You just said Ningbao is a cute chubby baby. Ningbao is definitely cute, but Ningbao isn't fat."

"Ningbao's just baby fat. My senior brother said it's just baby fat, and it will disappear as Ningbao grows taller."

Looking at Ningbao's stubborn little face, I smiled indulgently.

"Yes, yes, our Ningbao isn't fat, not fat at all!"

"By the way, Gu Fu, our young lady is waiting over there. Can we go into the city now?"

Gu Xiang pointed in the direction where the villagers of Shanglin Village were located.

Gu Fu was overjoyed to hear that his young mistress had already arrived outside the city.

"Miss and the others arrived by themselves? Then please take me there quickly. They must be tired from their long journey."

As he spoke, Gu Fu pulled Gu Xiang in the direction Gu Xiang had just pointed. As for the guards at the city gate and the toll collection, he turned around and instructed the other servants to report to the prefect's office.

The servant who went to deliver the message also took the group of troublemakers with him on the way.

Seeing that Gu Fu was anxious, Gu Xiang didn't delay and immediately explained the situation in Shanglin Village. Gu Fu was overjoyed to hear this.

"Don't worry, the master started making arrangements as soon as he received the young lady's letter. I'll arrange accommodations first, and we can discuss the rest later."

Gu Xiang frowned.

"Actually, there's no need to go to so much trouble. Along the way, Miss and I discussed it with their village chief. They are from the countryside and haven't thought about living in the city yet."

All they wanted was to have a piece of land in the countryside to build their own house, have a legitimate identity, and live a peaceful and stable life with their family.

I've been with them for a while now, and I've found them to be good, hardworking, and willing to work hard. I believe that if given the opportunity, they will definitely make their lives better and better.

By the way, our young lady said she'll only stay in Yunlu City for a short while; she intends to stay at the manor in Qingyun Town for an extended period.

The young lady and young master are getting along very well with the people of Shanglin Village. If possible, the young lady hopes that the people of Shanglin Village can be settled in Qingyun Town.

"The closer we are to the young lady's estate, the better. The young master practices martial arts with Ningbao and the others every day. By the way, Ningbao is a child from Shanglin Village. Don't underestimate her just because she's young; she's very skilled."

Hearing herself praised, Ning Bao, who was being held by Gu Xiang, patted her little chest proudly without any hesitation.

"Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!"

Ning Bao is amazing! Grandpa Gu Fu, you seem to be having some bad luck lately.

However, I'm not sure exactly where this bad luck came from yet. Ningbao can take a good look at it for you when she has time.

Ningbao was just a little child, and Gu Fu didn't take what Ningbao said to heart. Instead, he laughed and joked.

"Ningbao knows how to read faces?"

I've never really believed in these things, but if Ningbao is interested, could you take a look for me?
