Chapter 991 Chapter 991, the right decision
Daozi is not shy and seems to like Xiao Morong very much.
After Xiao Morong met Gu Jian, Daozi was particularly enthusiastic towards him during breakfast, which made Xiao Morong feel a little embarrassed.
"Fourth brother, try this tofu skin bun, it's delicious."
"And this green glutinous rice porridge is so delicious."
"Have a tea egg. You can't get this outside."
"Oh, and another glass of milk. You need to nourish yourself. Look at me, I've grown so strong. My ancestors like me so much."
Daozi patted his chest, looked at Gu Jian with sparkling eyes and expectant expression, waiting for him to praise him.
Gu Jian nodded with a smile and used his serving chopsticks to pick up a shrimp dumpling for Xiao Morong: "Daozi is right, a boy must have a strong body."
Xiao Morong has a big appetite, but he was really full this morning. Seeing his little cousin constantly putting food into his bowl, he felt a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, his aunt rescued him.
Seeing her son swarming around Xiao Morong like a hardworking little bee, Daohua had no choice but to stop him: "Alright, eat your food quickly. Your fourth brother still has a long time to stay with us. You'll have time to introduce him to delicious food."
Daozi finally calmed down a bit, but he kept looking at Xiao Morong while eating, and even smiled from time to time.
The adults found it a little funny to see him like this.
Gu Jian was helping Daozi with food and asked with a smile, "Do you like your fourth brother so much?"
Daozi: "Of course, fourth brother said that he would protect me in the future. Niu Dan is like a crab in Daoxiang Village because he has three brothers. He walks sideways everywhere."
"I have a brother now. Next time I'll go fight Niu Dan one-on-one, and then let my fourth brother deal with his younger brother."
Xiao Morong was stunned. He didn't expect that Daozi would assign him a task right away.
Daohua smiled and shook her head, looking at Xiao Morong: "Daozi is a troublemaker. If he bothers you in the future, just tell me and I will deal with him."
Xiao Morong smiled and said, "Xidi is very lively, I think that's great."
This was not a compliment, he really liked this lively and clever little cousin.
After meeting the Duke of Fuguo this morning and seeing that he was very kind to him, he felt completely relieved.
Anyway, the Fourth Prince's Mansion has no ambitions for the title of Duke of Fuguo, so he doesn't feel any pressure. He just needs to do his job well.
After breakfast, Xiao Yeyang went to the yamen, and Daohua also had to deal with matters in the mansion. Soon, only Gu Jian, Daozi and Xiao Moleng were left in Nanshan Hall.
"Come on, Fourth Brother, let's go for a walk with our ancestor."
Gu Jian stood up with a smile. This time, several princes sent their sons to see him. Although Ye Yang and Dao Hua didn't say much else, he knew it very well in his heart.
These people are eyeing his title!
He actually doesn't care much about the title, but he attaches great importance to the inheritance of the Gu family.
How could he casually adopt some people with ulterior motives?
The Fourth Prince sent his eldest son and had no intention of taking his title into consideration. As a result, he actually had a much better impression of the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
Because of this, his attitude towards Xiao Morong became much kinder.
Daozi held Gu Jian's hand and walked happily in the mansion. Knowing that Gu Jian was old and had just recovered, she was very considerate and slowed down her pace.
"Fourth brother, our family is pretty good, isn't it? The children of the officials under my father will envy me when they come to my house."
Gu Jian laughed unhappily and said, "Alright, stop showing off. Your fourth brother's house is much more magnificent than this one."
Daozi stared and looked at Xiao Morong for confirmation: "Really?" He thought his family was the best.
Xiao Moleng smiled and said, "The capital is prosperous and it's under the emperor's feet, so the buildings are naturally better." Seeing Daozi pout, he added, "Although this place is a little worse, Prince Ping's Mansion is much better than my home."
When Daozi heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? The servants in the palace said that I am the prince of Prince Ping's palace. The palace is mine. Doesn't that mean I have a home that is better than mine?"
Gu Jian and Xiao Morong were both amused by Daozi's childish words.
Gu Jian rubbed Daozi's head and said, "Yes, you are a wealthy man. There is an entire palace waiting for you to inherit."
Daozi was delighted and asked Xiao Morong again, "Fourth brother, do you have any?"
Gu Jian smiled and said, "Your fourth brother naturally has some too."
Daozi continued, "Fourth brother, I'll take you to see my amusement park later, but you can't play there in the morning. After my walk, I have to go to Grandpa Chu to learn martial arts."
Xiao Morong was a little surprised to hear that Daozi had started practicing martial arts at such a young age.
It can be seen that everyone in the palace dotes on Daozi very much. Practicing martial arts is hard work, but I didn't expect that my aunt and others would be willing to do it.
"Fourth brother, do you want to come with me? Let me tell you, my Grandpa Chu is amazing. He can fly directly on the wall with a 'whoosh whoosh' and even fly on the water."
Hearing this, Xiao Morong's eyes lit up: "Can I come with you?"
Although Uncle Wang said that he could ask him for advice if he had any questions about martial arts, he knew that Uncle Wang was very busy and he couldn't be so tactless as to bother him.
Daozi patted his chest and said, "Of course you can. I brought you there. Grandpa Chu likes me so much, he will definitely agree."
Xiao Morong looked at Gu Jian and seeing that he had no objection, he immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.
His father also hired two skilled masters for him, but neither of them had the ability to climb walls or float on water.
Half an hour later, Daozi and Xiao Morong sent Gu Jian back to Nanshan Hall and went to find Chu Lang.
On the way, Daozi wanted to ride a scooter, but finally held back.
Xiao Morong thought of the scooter and immediately looked at the ground.
The floor of the Weiyuan Palace was really smooth and clean. He knew that it was built with a kind of cement material. His uncle had someone send a batch of it to the capital before, but unfortunately the quantity was small. After the emperor's grandfather renovated the palace, there were not many left.
The reason why Daozi can ride the scooter smoothly is because this is a cement road. If it were on any other road, it would not only be slow but it might even trip.
Uncle Wang is really amazing. Before he came, his father and mother told him a lot about the poverty of Xiliang, but after he came, he didn't feel any discomfort.
In the capital, only the imperial palace can afford cement, but here in Liangdu City, all the streets and alleys are paved with cement.
Not only Liangdu, but also the official roads were made of cement.
This time, because my cousins were young, they walked very slowly along the way, but even so, they reached Liangdu in just over a month.
All this is because cement roads are easy to walk on.
Uncle Wang's ability is truly outstanding as he was able to manage such a cold and bitter place into this state.
By the way, there is also my aunt. Who would have thought that the sweaters and trousers that the women in the capital wanted to buy but couldn’t were knitted by my aunt.
Thinking that there were still people in the capital who always liked to speak ill of Uncle Wang, Xiao Morong couldn't help but sneer.
His father once told him that sending his uncle and aunt to Xiliang was the most correct decision his grandfather had ever made.
He didn't feel anything about this before, but now he deeply agrees with it.
