Chapter 125: Immortal Arts
"Zhang'er, I have taken care of you for so many years. Is the love between us not as good as that of a little girl I just met?" Nanny Wang asked crying.
Even at this point, the wet nurse showed no intention of apologizing.
Luo Zhang did not look back at Niuniu, but said: "Feelings are feelings, and reason is reason. Niuniu did nothing wrong, and she should not be accused of this."
After Luo Zhang said this, he suddenly felt relieved and couldn't help but look at Fang Yuan.
But these words failed to move Nanny Wang. After hearing these words, she became more certain of what she was thinking. She turned around and scolded Niuniu fiercely: "At such a young age, you act like a foxy woman. You have caused the young master and I to become alienated..."
But before she could finish her words, Mr. Luo waved his hand, and people immediately came forward, covered the wet nurse's mouth and dragged her out. It was obvious that he was not going to give her even the last bit of decent money.
Such a big thing happened, even the most heartless child lost interest in eating. Gu Yun even thought about whether to take his younger brother and sister home.
Old Master Luo, however, still looked calm and composed. He had lived for most of his life and had even witnessed the succession of the throne several times. Naturally, this little scene would not affect his mood.
"Come on, come on. No matter how big the problem is, it is not as important as eating. This is the gingerbread that Niu Niu likes to eat. I even asked your grandma how this dish is made." Grandpa Luo smiled and picked up a piece of gingerbread with chopsticks and put it into Niu Niu's bowl.
Niu Niu glanced at Luo Zhang, then at her brothers, and before picking up her chopsticks, she asked Grandpa Luo in a crisp voice.
"Grandpa Luo, don't you think Niu Niu is a good child?" Niu Niu asked.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Luo put down his chopsticks, looked at Niuniu seriously, and replied: "I think Niuniu is the best girl. She is smart, clever, and studious. I have never seen a girl more likable than you."
Niuniu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that, and then asked, "Will you be unhappy because I'm studying at your house and eating for free? I'm already studying here, so shouldn't I eat here?"
The nanny's words left a deep impression on Niu Niu. She didn't want to be a little girl who couldn't understand the expressions on others' faces.
But what the little girl didn't understand was that actively asking questions like she was doing now was actually a sign of tactlessness.
Grandpa Luo smiled and said, "Why do you think so? Grandpa Luo begged Niuniu to study and eat here. If Grandpa Luo hadn't discussed it with your grandma several times, you wouldn't be allowed to stay here for dinner today."
Niuniu didn't understand and asked, "Why? Grandpa Luo, don't you think we are wasting food?"
In Niu Niu’s eyes, eating is a big deal. When she was at the Zhang family in the past, if she ate one more bite, it would cause a big storm.
A trace of sadness flashed across Mr. Luo's cloudy eyes, and he said, "Grandpa Luo has a lot of food, but grandpa is old and can't eat."
"With you company and listening to you talk, grandpa can eat a few more mouthfuls of food. You have helped grandpa so much, so eating a little food is nothing."
What Grandpa Luo said was not false. He had few children and in his heart he envied the happiness of having children and grandchildren around him. However, Luo Zhang was calm and steady in front of his elders and did not like to joke around. Fang Yuan was very reserved in front of him.
Looking around, only Niu Niu and Gu Zhao looked like normal children. They ate when they were supposed to and drank when they were supposed to. Especially Niu Niu, her eating manners were extremely appetizing. Grandpa Luo's appetite improved when he saw the little girls eating.
Niuniu was relieved when she heard this and said, "That's great. I was afraid I would cause you trouble."
Grandpa Luo joked, "Niuniu, Grandpa Luo, I see that your appetite has improved when I see you eating. Do you know any magic?"
When Niuniu heard this, she tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Maybe I really do know some magic."
Mr. Luo looked surprised.
Gu Yan quickly reminded: "Niuniu, be careful with your words, don't speak nonsense casually."
After Gu Yan finished speaking, he gave Gu Yun a meaningful look.
Gu Yun was so anxious that he almost jumped up on the spot: "Ayan, what's with that look in your eyes? Niuniu didn't learn bragging from me. I always say what I mean..."
Gu Yun spoke, his voice getting lower and lower.
Niuniu retorted: "Brother, I didn't brag."
"Every time I go to eat in front of the shop, the business will be very good. Aunt Liu always says that my magic is working."
Gu Yan opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment. He also didn't expect that Niuniu took Liu Xiaoru's joke seriously.
He instinctively thought that the good business in the shop was because Niu Niu was cute and had good eating manners, and it probably had nothing to do with any magic. He hesitated, not knowing how to explain it to Niu Niu.
But Mr. Luo was very supportive and said, "It turns out that our Niuniu is actually a little fairy! You are only five years old, and you can help with the family business."
Niuniu was so happy that her tail was about to rise to the sky when she heard this. She said to Gu Yan, "Look, big brother, Grandpa Luo has admitted that I know magic. I didn't brag!"
Gu Yan didn't expect that a highly respected person like Mr. Luo would say such a thing. He was confused for a moment, not knowing whether he should believe in Niu Niu's magic.
But after this joke, the atmosphere at the table was not as tense as it was at the beginning.
Niu Niu is optimistic by nature. When she has something delicious to eat, she doesn’t remember the grievances she had suffered. She buries her little face in the piled-up bowl of rice, which is full of dishes that Grandpa Luo picked for her.
Looking at the little girl's cheeks bulging with food like a hamster, Mr. Luo suddenly felt an inexplicable joy, as if he could see Niu Niu's future healthy growth through feeding her.
As Grandpa Luo watched Niu Niu eat, he felt that all the food on the table in front of him became delicious.
But when he turned around, he saw his precious grandson holding the bowl and slowly picking out the food he didn't want to eat.
Don’t eat ginger, garlic, onions, fatty meat, or food cooked at the wrong temperature…
There are indeed many things that Luo Zhang avoids eating. There are only two dishes on the entire table that do not contain any of his food avoidances.
Mr. Luo took a closer look and felt that the dishes on the table were covered with a layer of gray fog. He instantly lost his appetite.
The old man is old and doesn’t like to torture himself, so he turned around and stared at Niu Niu eating.
It's really magical. Looking at Niu Niu eating, Mr. Luo instantly felt his appetite return.
An idea suddenly occurred to Grandpa Luo, and he whispered to his grandson, "Zhang'er, take a closer look at Niuniu."
