She was speechless at her past self. How could she have thought that Gu En, just like the rumors in the capital, was the most outstanding man in the capital after Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu?
Gentle and refined, a true gentleman?
Please take a look at the chatterboxes in China now!
Zheng Qiu felt that Gu En was becoming more and more like her uncle Gu. They really looked alike, not only in appearance but also in personality.
Upon hearing that his head was covered, Gu En immediately decided to go and see for himself.
Then he very attentively helped Zheng Qiu carry the water jug.
Zheng Qiu shook his head helplessly.
Before Du San Niang could speak, the other waiters started chatting amongst themselves.
When Gu En and Zheng Qiu appeared, everyone looked at them.
"Boss Du, have some hot water to calm down!" Zheng Qiu put down his cup, and Gu En naturally stepped forward to pour water, then put down the kettle and obediently stood next to Zheng Qiu.
Gu Xin couldn't bear to watch anymore. Wasn't this kid just vomiting a moment ago? How did he recover so quickly? Wasn't he always standing next to her, his third sister? How did he suddenly change?
Gu Xin probably doesn't know what Gu En is thinking. Gu En just wants to stick close to Zheng Qiu, hoping that Zheng Qiu will take him in later, otherwise he'll be scared tonight.
While Du San Niang was drinking water, Gu Xin told the others to stop talking: "Let Boss Du speak first, and everyone can add anything she hasn't mentioned."
The waiters all stopped.
After taking small sips of the rather hot water, Du Sanniang finally felt better.
"Thank you, Young Master Zheng, and thank you, Fourth Young Master Gu." She put down her cup and thanked the two of them.
“Qiangzi’s surname is Hu, and he’s eighteen this year. He’s a native of Qi’an Town, a hot-tempered but very clever and quick-witted young man. A few years ago, when I first came to Qi’an Town to take over the inn, he came to work as a waiter. He quit the year before last to learn how to fish. Since last year, our inn has had a long-term relationship with him, and he often sends us fresh fish and shrimp.” Du San Niang began to talk about the deceased.
She first explained how they met and what Hu Qiangzi does now.
"He lost his father at a young age and was raised by his mother, Zhong, from the age of six. The two of them had no relatives or clansmen in Qi'an Town. I once heard that Qiangzi's parents came to Qi'an Town together when they were young, and they must have come from the Jiangnan region. However, no family members appeared after Qiangzi's father passed away."
"After her husband died, Zhong made a living by selling embroidery. In recent years, since Qiangzi has been able to earn money, she rarely does embroidery at home anymore, and is busy arranging for Qiangzi to get married. However, I've heard that Qiangzi has a bad temper and often yells at Zhong. But in my opinion, Qiangzi just has a loud voice, and he is still a very reasonable person. Moreover, Zhong raised him with great difficulty, and he is a grateful person, which is completely different from what his neighbors say."
"I wouldn't dare draw this conclusion if I hadn't met him, but this kid has been working in my shop for three years, since he was thirteen. I've practically watched him grow up. In the last two years, he's been selling fish to our shop. From my interactions with him, he's not the kind of person with a bad temper. He and his mother definitely have arguments, but it's definitely not the kind of thing their neighbors say, that Qiangzi is unfilial and yells at his widowed mother who raised him. If I had to pinpoint a reason, it might be that Qiangzi is unhappy with the women that Zhong has been trying to find for him. Of course, this is just my personal guess."
