The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1168 - 991, The Right Decision

Daozi is not shy around strangers, and seems to rather like Xiao Moreng.

After Xiao Moreng paid a visit to Gu Jian and during breakfast, Daozi was especially enthusiastic towards him, making Xiao Moreng feel a bit embarrassed.

"Fourth brother, try this bean curd skin bun, it’s really delicious."

"And this Bijing porridge, it’s so fragrant."

"Have a tea egg as well, you can’t get these outside."

"Right, have some milk too, you need to nourish your body well. Look at me, I’ve grown so strong and sturdy, our ancestor really likes me."

Daozi patted his chest, his eyes sparkling brightly, looking at Gu Jian with a hopeful face, waiting for his praise.

Gu Jian smiled warmly and nodded, using the serving chopsticks to pick up a shrimp dumpling for Xiao Moreng: "Daozi is right, a boy should have a strong body."

Xiao Moreng has quite an appetite, but this morning he truly felt stuffed. Watching his little cousin constantly putting more food into his bowl, he was somewhat overwhelmed.

Thankfully, his aunt came to his rescue.

Seeing her son busily buzzing around Xiao Moreng like a diligent little bee, she couldn’t help but intervene: "Enough, eat yours. Your fourth brother will stay with us for quite some time; there will be plenty of opportunities for you to introduce him to delicious foods."

Daozi then restrained himself, but he continued to size up Xiao Moreng while eating and occasionally let out stealthy giggles.

The adults found his behavior amusing.

As Gu Jian put food into Daozi’s bowl, he asked with a laugh, "Do you really like your fourth brother that much?"

Daozi: "Of course, fourth brother said he’ll watch over me in the future. Even Niudan brags about having three older brothers, strutting around Daoxiang Village like a crab, walking sideways everywhere. Now that I have a brother too, naturally, I am happy."

Daohua chuckled and shook her head, looking at Xiao Moreng: "Daozi can be quite the handful. If he ever bothers you, just come and tell me, and I’ll set him straight."

Xiao Moreng smiled and said: "Younger cousin is very lively, I think that’s quite good."

This sentiment was no mere courtesy. Having met with the Duke this morning and finding him to be very kindly, Xiao Moreng completely set his mind at ease.

After all, the residence of the fourth Prince has no designs on the Duke’s title, and so he doesn’t feel any pressure. All he has to do is to fulfill his own duties.

After breakfast, Xiao Yeyang went to the Governor’s Office, and Daohua also had matters to attend within the Prince Residence. Soon enough, Nanshan Hall was left with only Gu Jian, Daozi, and Xiao Moreng.

"Come on, fourth brother, let’s take a stroll with our ancestor," said Daozi.

Gu Jian stood up with a smile. Although neither Yeyang nor Daohua had said much, he was very clear about their intentions; these Princes were eyeing his title!

As for the title, he did not really care much about it, but he placed great importance on the Gu Family’s legacy.

How could he possibly casually adopt someone with ulterior motives?

The fourth Prince had sent his legitimate eldest son, who did not covet his title. For this reason, he felt a great deal of fondness for the residence of the fourth Prince.

Because of this, his attitude towards Xiao Moreng became much more affectionate.

Daozi held Gu Jian’s hand, walking briskly through the residence, and knowing Gu Jian was of advanced age and had only just recovered his health, he also thoughtfully slowed down.

"Fourth brother, isn’t our home nice? Even the officials under my father’s command get envious when they visit us," Daozi said.

Gu Jian couldn’t help but laugh: "Okay, no need to show off. Your fourth brother’s home is much more imposing than this place."

Daozi widened his eyes and looked at Xiao Moreng for confirmation: "Really?"

Xiao Moreng chuckled, "Beijing is bustling and, after all, it’s right at the Emperor’s doorstep, so the buildings naturally have to be a bit better." Seeing Daozi pouting, he added, "Although it’s a bit less here, the Prince Residence of Prince Ping is much better than my home."

Daozi’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Really? The servants in the residence say I am the Crown Prince of Prince Ping’s Residence, that the Prince Residence is mine, then don’t I have a home that’s even better than my own?"

Gu Jian and Xiao Moreng were both amused by Daozi’s childlike babble.

Gu Jian ruffled Daozi’s hair: "Yes, you are indeed a rich man, with an entire Prince Residence waiting for you to inherit."

Daozi became excited and asked Xiao Moreng, "Fourth Brother, do you have one too?"

Gu Jian laughed, "Naturally, your Fourth Brother has one as well."

"Fourth Brother, later I’ll take you to see my amusement park, but we can’t play this morning. After our walk, I still have to go to Grandpa Chu to learn and train in martial arts," Daozi said.

Hearing that Daozi started martial arts training at such a young age, Xiao Moreng was somewhat surprised.

It was clear that everyone in the Prince Residence doted on Daozi greatly. Martial arts training is hard work, and to think that his aunt and the others would allow it.

"Fourth Brother, do you want to join me? Let me tell you, my Grandpa Chu is really powerful, ’swoosh swoosh swoosh,’ he can fly right up the wall and stride over water," Daozi said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Moreng’s eyes lit up, "Can I join too?"

Although Uncle Wang said that if he had any issues with martial arts he could ask him, he knew that Uncle Wang was usually very busy, so he couldn’t be so tactless as to keep bothering him.

Daozi confidently declared, "Of course you can, I’m the one taking you, and Grandpa Chu likes me so much, he will definitely agree."

Xiao Moreng looked at Gu Jian, and seeing that he had no objections, he immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.

The King had also hired two masters for him, both skilled in their own right, but neither had the ability to run across rooftops or glide over water.

Half an hour later, Daozi and Xiao Moreng took Gu Jian back to Nanshan Hall and then went to find Chu Lang.

On the way, Daozi wanted to ride his scooter, but in the end, he held back.

Xiao Moreng thought of the scooter and immediately looked at the ground.

The ground at Prince Wei Yuan’s Residence was indeed smooth and clean. He knew it was built with a kind of cement material. Previously, Uncle Wang had sent a batch to Beijing, but it was a pity there wasn’t much. After the Great Ancestor Emperor renovated the Imperial Palace, there was hardly any left.

Daozi could skillfully ride the scooter precisely because it was a cement road. If it were on other roads, not only would he not be able to pick up speed, but he might also trip and fall.

Uncle Wang is truly amazing. Before coming here, the King and the Queen Mother had warned me of the poverty in Xiliang, but since arriving, I haven’t felt any discomfort.

In Beijing, only the Imperial Palace could afford cement, but here, the streets and alleys of Liangdu City are all cement roads.

Not just Liangdu, but the official roads too are made with cement. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

This time coming here, because several of my younger cousins are young and we traveled slowly, even so, it only took us a little over a month to arrive at Liangdu.

All of this, it’s because the cement roads are easy to travel on.

Uncle Wei Yuan is really formidable, managing to turn a land of bitter cold into something like this, his capabilities truly exceptional.

And then there’s my aunt; who would’ve thought that the methods for knitting sweaters and pants, items that the ladies in Beijing want but can’t buy, were actually taught by my aunt.

Thinking about how there are people who always like to demean Uncle Wang in Beijing, Xiao Moreng couldn’t help but snicker.

My father once told me that sending Uncle Wang and my aunt to Xiliang was the most correct decision the Great Ancestor Emperor ever made.

I didn’t feel much about it before, but at this moment, I strongly agree.
