Chapter 17 Ask Your Father-in-Law for Help
Xiao Baoer is 16 years old this year, 13 years have passed since Xiao Yuniang and Lu Shun reconciled.

After the reconciliation, Lu Shun married the widow.

During these 13 years, Lu Shun turned the tavern into a big restaurant, and the Lu family moved to the county town.

There are a total of thirteen towns in Qinghe County, five of which have Lu's restaurants, plus the largest one in the county seat, there are six in total.

Lu Shun was very kind to Xiao Bao'er, and often asked the housekeeper to bring things to Xiao Bao'er.

Therefore, Xiao Baoer's life has been quite good, and she also has a very contradictory attitude towards Lu Shun in her heart.

She felt that she should hate Lu Shun, but Xiao Dayong and Xiao Yuniang never spoke ill of Lu Shun, nor stopped their father and daughter from getting along.

Lu Shun was indeed very kind to Xiao Baoer.

For Xiao Baoer’s dowry this time, there were a lot of gold and silver jewelry on the surface. In private, Lu Shun not only gave Xiao Baoer 500 taels of money under the box, but also gave Xiao Baoer a lease. 200 taels of rental income.

Moreover, Lu Shun treated Xiao Mier and Xiao Lin well, although it was not as good as his own, but when he asked the housekeeper to give something to Xiao Baoer, he would also give something to Xiao Mier and Xiao Lin at the same time.

Xiao Baoer was thinking about the Xiao family, and Zhou Zhoulang had already told the truth about the family situation here, and he had confessed to Grandpa Xiao and Xiao Yuniang, and let Xiao Baoer stay at home alone after the wedding.

"Your second brother seems to me to be ignorant. That is, Dashan can't be ruthless, and your mother is worried that they are not his own. If you want me to say, this rotten gambler should cut off one of his fingers. Let him remember the lesson forever!" Xiao Dayong said angrily after listening.

"Shiro, your second brother is usually diligent! Why do you like to gamble?" Xiao Yuniang also frowned.

Zhou Zhoulang was ashamed, he didn't know why his second brother went to the casino.

"You said you went to the county to find a way? This will cost more than 300 taels, how can you do it? Don't do bad things!" Xiao Yuniang said again.

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, my son-in-law won't. My son-in-law is actually planning to go back to the academy to clean up his calligraphy and paintings. There will be a painting and calligraphy meeting in Qinghe Academy in two days. At that time, students from all the academies in Linjiang Mansion will come. Buying and selling are allowed at the painting and calligraphy meeting." Zhou Shiro said.

"Painting and calligraphy?" Xiao Yuniang rolled her eyes and glanced at Xiao Bao'er.

Xiao Bao'er was taken aback.

Zhou Zhoulang felt that her mother-in-law looked very similar to Xiao Bao'er, she deserved to be a mother and daughter!
"Shiro, I heard people say that Bao'er's father has been interested in calligraphy and painting in the past two years. You may as well go to Bao'er's father to help you when you go back to the academy," Xiao Yuniang said.

"That's right! In the past two years, Shunzi didn't spend much time in the kitchen except for the secret dishes in the store. He learned to be arty from the gentlemen in the city! Shiro, you just go, he doesn't know anything. , you are his son-in-law, he will definitely help you find a way!" Xiao Dayong said with a smile.

It's just that the tone is a little disgusting.

A good cook who doesn't know anything, but wants to learn how to appreciate calligraphy and painting?
He can guarantee that his apprentice Chen Shimei can't even read the words now, and even learned how to comment on calligraphy and painting, haha...

"Okay, grandpa, mother-in-law, and son-in-law remember!" Zhou Zhoulang nodded, indicating that he knew.

As for whether he should go to his father-in-law for help, no one knows.
