There was an uproar in the restaurant.

"Wow, I didn't expect that the accountant of this restaurant has a son who is a scholar, and his niece's son-in-law is a master of education. Gee, what kind of family is this!"

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that a single accounting office in our small Jihu town would have such a prominent background."

"Isn't that right? Moreover, I heard that Lu Juren is still in the top ten. If nothing unexpected happens, he will take the imperial examination next year. He will definitely be in high school!"

"..."

The restaurant owner's face turned red and white as he listened to everyone's discussion. He had never heard Gu Laoer mention that Lu Juren was a relative of his family before.

If he had known, he wouldn't have...kicked people out so rashly.

Gu Laoer felt very proud when he saw the shopkeeper's appearance.

It seems that the title of niece-in-law is really good. As soon as he said it, he immediately calmed the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper stood there for a long time, meditating quietly for a long time, took a deep breath, and looked up at Gu Laoer with a smile on his face.

"Second brother, it seems that you misunderstood the account book. I didn't believe you were such a person in the first place."

"So, you can continue to do the errands of the restaurant's accountant, right? You have been doing this for so many years, and you are very familiar with the restaurant's accountant. I don't trust the people around them either."

Gu Laoer was stunned. He didn't expect it to go so smoothly. The shopkeeper agreed to let him come back?

He couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. To be honest, he really wanted to go back here and continue working, but there was no guarantee that the shopkeeper wouldn't give him shoes to wear again.

Gu Laoer was not stupid. He sneered a few times and said, "Shopkeeper, I'm worried that if I come back again and accidentally make the wrong account book, I'll be slapped with a hat again."

"No, no, it's all a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding. Come back. How about an extra hundred cash per month in salary?"

The shopkeeper made a hasty promise, and he was thinking that if Gu Laoer came back to work, then their restaurant would be involved in a relationship with Lu Juren.

Such a good thing can't be bought for even one tael or ten taels of silver, let alone a hundred taels of silver.

He knew that Lu Juren was the most popular Juren master in the entire Jihu Town. He was young and promising and would definitely go to high school next year!

After that, he must become an official.

Scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, if they could have some connections with government officials, it would be of great help!

The shopkeeper's mind was spinning rapidly, and he caught sight of Gu Yunzhi behind Gu Lao Er. He enthusiastically stepped forward and took his hand: "Lao Er, this is your youngest son, he's so handsome!"

"This child is also studying in the town academy?" The shopkeeper saw that Gu Yunzhi was wearing the uniform of the academy and spoke to him with a loving look on his face.

"Son, your father and I have known each other for many years. Come on, you guys have dinner at the restaurant and then go back. My treat today is an apology for my previous misunderstanding of your father."

The shopkeeper took Gu Yunzhi's hand and walked in.

Gu Laoer didn't stop him, but felt a little relieved, thinking that this was something the shopkeeper owed them.

He didn't think much and followed him confidently.

After a full meal, under the friendly hospitality of the shopkeeper, Gu Lao Er was still as angry as when he came?

After eating and drinking enough, Gu Laoer and the shopkeeper became as good as brothers.

The shopkeeper smiled and walked Gu Laoer and his son to the door, who had eaten and drank enough. He watched them go home before turning back to the restaurant.

However, the moment the shopkeeper turned around, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

Gu Lao Er took his youngest son back to the village. Before he reached the door of his house, he saw Mrs. Gu and Wu waiting at the door from a distance.

"Mom! Milk!" Gu Yunzhi smiled and rushed towards Wu.

Mrs. Gu originally opened her arms and wanted to hug her little grandson, but now she felt extremely embarrassed.

Mrs. Wu felt proud that the son she gave birth to was indeed close to her.

However, on the surface, she still wanted to save some face for her mother-in-law.

"Yunzhi, go to your nurse, your nurse misses you." Mrs. Wu hugged her youngest son, then let go and asked him to go to Mrs. Gu.

Gu Yunzhi nodded. Although he was not familiar with Nai, he was still his own grandma and an elder.

When Mrs. Gu saw her grandson coming over, her original dislike for the Wu family dissipated a lot.

"My dear grandson, Nai, you must be hungry. Let's go. Nai has left some food for you. Come in and eat."

Mrs. Gu took Gu Yunzhi's hand and asked him to come into the house to eat.

However, Gu Yunzhi smiled and said a little sheepishly: "Nai, dad and I ate it in town."

Mrs. Gu looked at Mr. Gu with some doubts. She couldn't figure out what kind of meal Hao Duan was going to eat in town? How expensive!

Gu Laoer knew that his mother was trying to pick a fight, so he hurriedly explained: "Mom, the owner of the restaurant invited us to eat for free."

"What? That old man invited you to dinner?" Mrs. Gu still didn't know what Mr. Gu said to Mr. Gu.

What's more, he didn't know that Mr. Gu taught Mr. Gu to go to the restaurant to gain strength over Lu Jianchuan.

However, if she knew, she would just say hello.

After all, isn't Lu Jianchuan the second son's niece? Dear! No use, no use!

Gu Laoer smiled: "Mom, it's a long story. Let's go inside first."

The family entered the house, and in front of Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu told them what happened in the restaurant.

"Dad, it's just as you expected. When the restaurant owner found out that Lu Jianchuan was my niece's son-in-law, his attitude towards me immediately changed and he even asked me to continue working in the restaurant!"

Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Wu looked at each other, their eyes full of happiness.

Mr. Gu nodded and said with a smile: "Second brother, the shopkeeper is a bully and shy of the strong. Yunxi girl's shopkeeper is a talented person. Now he has passed the imperial examination. Next year, he may be able to become a high school Jinshi."

"If you become a Jinshi and get an official position, then you will be a real official. A small restaurant owner will of course want to curry favor with you."

Gu Laoer felt very happy when he heard what his father said. He didn't expect that his eldest niece, who had been neglected since she was a child, would help him so much invisibly.

Mr. Gu thought for a moment, then stroked his beard and said, "Second brother, you and your wife will go to the Lu family tomorrow. By the way, let your eldest brother go with you."

Gu Laoer and Wu were stunned. They had not been welcomed when they went to the Lu family before.

Mr. Gu knew what his son and daughter-in-law were thinking, so he continued to teach: "No matter what, Yunxi is the daughter of our Gu family, and the Lu family are our serious relatives. The relatives will not be unfamiliar if they move around more."

Gu Laoer and Wu had no choice but to nod and agree.

Yes, Lu Jianchuan has been elected, and such relatives should have more contacts!
