Chapter 251 Looking for Someone

"And from what you see now, there must be a lot of people coming to visit, and it's not so convenient for you to move around every day. I want to find someone who can cook some simple meals for you, do the usual chores in the yard, and help take care of you."

Xu Qingmeng thought for a moment, "This is not a big deal. Even if you didn't tell me today, I was going to ask you. But should I call someone from home or find someone else?"

There are now three cooks in the Gu family's kitchen. However, when the hot pot restaurant is busy, they also need to take care of the preparation of the hot pot base, plus the usual cleaning and so on. Even Xinting is sometimes busy.

In addition, there are four children in the family now, so even Xu Qingmeng is not idle. Not only is the hot pot restaurant doing good business before the New Year, but the sales of red chili peppers in the workshop have also skyrocketed with the New Year. I think it is because of the people who were found before. Xu Qingmeng feels that they are almost not enough.

What Xu Qingmeng could think of, Gu Yunyi could naturally think of as well, and he planned to find a man for his master.

Gu Yunyi shook his head and said to Xu Qingmeng, "No, I plan to find a new one for you outside the industry, and it's better to be a man, so that he can take better care of you."

"Okay, but I don't trust the guy that Xiao Li used to be like now." Xu Qingmeng said.

Not to mention Xu Qingmeng, he didn't even believe what Gu Yunyi said. Besides, Mr. Shen would inevitably be visited by many officials in the future, so he couldn't be careless with this person.

The two of them agreed to go and see the rest of the gang tomorrow.

The next morning, the house was tidied up. After Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi had breakfast, they carried their lunch boxes to Mr. Shen's residence.

However, just as they arrived at the door, they saw two people following Lord Zhang and knocking on the door.

Lord Zhang is only thirty years old, still in his prime, with a serious face. To Xu Qingmeng, he seems like the type of person who doesn't talk much but is quite serious.

Seeing Gu Yunyi and Xu Qingmeng coming over, Zhang Hanzhe nodded slightly to them.

Gu Yunyi simply returned a scholar's greeting and did not approach him to talk enthusiastically.

Xu Qingmeng looked at the two people in front of her and always felt that the atmosphere was weird. Then she shook her head, thinking that she must be thinking too much!

Thinking that he would have to wait for a while, the door opened from the inside. Mr. Shen first glanced at Zhang Hanzhe and then at Gu Yunyi. He was still a little surprised that the two of them came together.

But he soon regained his composure, glanced at the people outside the door, and said, "Come in, don't stand at the door."

Zhang Hanzhe was at the door, so naturally he went in first, and then hurried to help Mr. Shen: “Okay, sir, go slower.”

Seeing this, Gu Yunyi did not move forward, but followed behind with the food box.

After entering the house, Xu Qingmeng helped set the breakfast, then found an excuse to go out and did not stay in the house.

Zhang Hanzhe looked at the rich breakfast on the table and said, "Sir, this yard is rather simple. Besides, you live alone and there is no one to take care of you. I am worried. Why don't you live with me?"

Mr. Shen shook his head and said, "No, I appreciate your kindness. It's good here. What's wrong with me living alone? It's been like this for so many years. Besides, Yun Yi and the others are taking care of us. It's good. Don't worry about it."

In fact, Zhang Hanzhe had mentioned it when he first met Mr. Li, but Mr. Li directly rejected it. Now he mentioned it again, just hoping that it would work out.

Zhang Hanzhe was still somewhat surprised at the trust that the gentleman had in Gu Yunyi. He also knew about the affairs of the gentleman's daughter, Shen Yunyi. In order to sever ties with the gentleman, he used Gu Yunyi as an excuse.

Although this cannot be blamed on Gu Yunyi, but still...

Zhang Hanzhe also shook his head helplessly and smiled faintly: "Alas, I was rejected by the master again. It's New Year's Day and my yard is deserted. I was thinking that when the master came, I could have a drink with him from time to time."

Mr. Shen looked at the spoiled student in front of him, and his expression eased a lot. He couldn't help but said, "Okay, there are still many things in this prefectural school that need you to sort out. Since you have got this job, you should pay more attention to it and don't delay it. Besides, I am in the prefectural city now. You can find me, and I can't run away."

Zhang Hanzhe smiled and said, "Yes, sir, that's right."

Seeing the teacher said so, he introduced himself to the teacher: "Sir, since you don't want to live with me, but it is a bit inconvenient for you to live here alone, and I am really worried about you. So I took the initiative to bring two servants to you today. I hope you will not refuse and must accept them."

Among the two people brought by Zhang Hanzhe, one was a little older, but only in his thirties, and the other was younger, probably not yet of marriageable age.

Mr. Shen glanced at the two of them calmly and said, "I like quietness, so just leave one."

Zhang Hanzhe also understood Mr. Li. Although he brought two people with him, he didn't think that both of them would be accepted. As long as he accepted one person, it would be fine.

In the end, the younger one was kept. His name was Xiaoyu. He was literate and had no problem doing simple daily cooking and cleaning. He also had no problem helping the teacher grind ink and other things on weekdays.

Seeing that the gentleman had accepted the person, Zhang Hanzhe left after not staying for long. He and Gu Yunyi were only acquaintances who nodded to each other when they first met, and they didn't say a word to each other afterwards.

Of course, Gu Yunyi didn't care, but Mr. Shen did notice it.

After Zhang Hanzhe left, he asked Xiaoyu to go to his room to clean up first. When he walked out the door, thinking about the attitudes of the two, he couldn't help but ask Gu Yunyi: "What's going on? Do you have any grudges with Zhang Hanzhe?"

Gu Yunyi was very surprised, then shook his head.

It was a bit strange that the two of them didn't celebrate the festival, and Mr. Shen fell into deep thought.

He knew Zhang Hanzhe, this student. He was always a very good person. Even if he really disliked Gu Yunyi or something, he would never be as cold as he is today.

Moreover, Gu Yunyi is just a scholar studying in the provincial school. It is impossible for him to have any conflicts with the academic official of the provincial school. Such a cold attitude is really strange.

Mr. Shen kept all these thoughts in his heart and sighed softly, but he had already made up his mind to find an opportunity to be alone and ask what was going on.
