The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

Chapter 723 Severe Reprimand

Niu Li responded, "Okay, I also found today's discussion with you very pleasant and beneficial. I will definitely visit you another day to learn more from you."

Ni'er and Niu Li stood aside, watching Mr. Xu Nuo and Mr. Hu walk out of the door together. The two looked at each other and laughed happily with their hands covering their mouths.

Ni'er lowered her voice and said to Niu Li: "You are good, kid~"

Niu Li scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Hehe, this is all thanks to you, sister. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have such an opportunity today."

Ni'er said lightly: "You are the only one who is sweet-mouthed and good at talking."

However, Xu Nuo had only taken a few steps when his face suddenly darkened. He turned around abruptly and scolded with a stern look: "Don't think I don't know what you're doing behind my back."

"You went to such great lengths to get me and Niu Li acquainted. What benefits did they give you?"

When Runsheng heard the teacher's question, his face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a frown, "Teacher, although Mr. Niu is young, he has already passed the imperial examination. He is truly a rare talent."

"My conversation with him just now further proves that he is indeed a man of real talent and learning. Otherwise, how could you, Master, praise him so highly and even invite him to your house for tea?"

"I am worried that such a talented person would be left without guidance. If he had more mentors like you, he would naturally have more confidence."

"As a former student myself, I know how difficult it is, so I can empathize with their situation."

Runsheng paused, then continued, "I have never accepted any benefits. This help is completely voluntary."

After saying that, he straightened up and looked at the teacher calmly.

Xu Nuo stood with his hands behind his back, pacing a few steps in front of Mr. Hu and said, "Oh? I heard that many students have approached you, hoping to get to know me through you."

"But you refused every one of them before. Why are you making an exception today?"

Master Hu replied respectfully, "Master Niu's sister has been very kind to me! Back then, I was destitute and could barely afford to eat. It was she who saved me from such a difficult situation."

"It can be said that if it weren't for her, I would definitely not be who I am today. I have always wanted to find my benefactor and repay her for saving my life."

"Maybe it was God's blessing, just a few days ago, I actually met my benefactor by chance!"

"It's only natural that a benefactor so generous and kind would have such an outstanding brother."

After hearing what Mr. Hu said, Xu Nuo couldn't help but feel moved.

He had never expected that there was such a connection between Niu Li and his beloved disciple.

And it was indeed natural for Runsheng to bring them to meet him.

After all, a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring, let alone a life-saving grace.

Xu Nuo thought to himself that he had always valued talented young people, and Niu Li's speech just now had deeply touched his heart.

In addition, Niu Li passed the imperial examination at a young age, so such talents are indeed worth cultivating with care.

However, Runsheng mentioned earlier that when he was so hungry that he could hardly eat, it was that benefactor who came to his aid, which means that they should come from the same place.

When I thought of this, I couldn't help but feel disgusted.

After all, those who come from remote areas often have an unbearable rusticity and vulgarity.

If it weren't for the fact that Runsheng really had real talent and was kind-hearted, I probably wouldn't have accepted him as my apprentice.

Thinking this way, everything becomes clear.

Niu Li just wanted to find some security for himself.

Thinking of this, Xu Nuo decided to point it out directly, so he looked at Runsheng and asked, "Do you know why I dislike students from remote areas so much?"

Hu Gongzi humbly bent down, clasped his hands together, and gave Xu Nuo a standard bow. Then he said, "I am a simple student, but I hope you will teach me."

Seeing this, Xu Nuo sighed helplessly and said slowly, "You don't know, most people who come from poor places are stingy and have no idea about the ways of the world."

"You helped them out of kindness, and the most they did was a few words of thanks."

"At first, I was just like you. I felt like helping whenever I could, and I didn't expect anything in return."

"However, over time, these people will gradually feel that they can easily get what they want by just saying a few nice words."

"You know, in the officialdom, everyone can say nice things. But just saying nice things is not enough; that's the worst!"

"Who would have thought that my initial good intention to help would actually harm them."

When Runsheng heard this, a huge stone in his heart fell to the ground.

He secretly sighed that it was a blessing for Niu Li to have such an outstanding sister.

Although Niu Li may not be as good as others in some aspects, having such a good sister is undoubtedly a great help in his life.

As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." Even though Niu Li himself didn't quite understand those things, under the influence of his sister, he could learn a little bit by observing and hearing.

Runsheng continued, "I understand what you mean, but Niu Li and his sister are not the kind of people you describe."

"Niu Li's sister, Niu Xiaoni'er, is still young, not even coming of age, but she has already opened a restaurant in the capital, called Yunlai Restaurant. This is no easy feat!"

Runsheng couldn't help but admire Niu Xiaoni's abilities.

A girl who has not even reached the age of marriage is actually able to run a restaurant of this scale on her own.

This requires not only an outstanding business acumen, but also insight and ability to handle human relationships far beyond ordinary people.

After hearing this, Xu Nuo was completely stunned, as if time had frozen at that moment. It took him several seconds to come back to his senses.

Yunlai Restaurant is a famous place in the whole capital!

Even the beggars on the street know its name.

Xu Nuo had also heard that the prices of the dishes there were not affordable for ordinary people, they were simply sky-high!

However, Xu Nuo once had the opportunity to taste the dishes of Yunlai Restaurant at someone else's home.

That taste is still unforgettable to him. Whenever he thinks of it, he feels the sweet taste lingering in his mouth and the aftertaste is endless.

Moreover, he also learned from others that the owner of Yunlai Restaurant was not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also had an extremely kind heart.

I heard that many dignitaries were attracted by her and were very happy to make friends with her.

Even the princess is her good friend!
