372 Have You Heard of Grand Duke Jiang Fishing, Those Who Were Willing Would Take the Bait?

Gu Nuo’er’s voice was soft. “I want to sell sweet pastries. I want to sell a lot of them, so many that I can’t finish them by myself.”

After saying that, the child asked Old Jiang, “Grandpa Jiang, why are you selling the shop?”

Old Jiang held the teacup in his hand, looking up at the sunlight.

“I’m old and have no wife or children. Sooner or later, I’ll have to sell this shop. While my mind is still clear, I’ll let a reliable person take over the shop so that my parents’ efforts of leaving me such a shop wouldn’t be in vain.”

He smiled. “However, I still feel reluctant. I’ve been watching over this shop for more than 60 years. Many people came to ask for the selling price, but when they heard that it was 500 taels, they were scared off. You, on the other hand, agreed readily.”

Gu Nuo’er chuckled, her white teeth and red lips looking very cute.

“Perhaps it’s because we’ve known each other since a very long time ago!”

Old Jiang laughed out loud. “I’m 73 years old this year and you’re only five years old. We’ve never met before.”

Gu Nuo’er puffed up her cheeks and didn’t reply.

The reason she was willing to give so much money was that they were old acquaintances.

She wondered if Grandpa Jiang had heard of Great Grandfather Jiang fishing, those who were willing would take the bait.

In any case, back then, she had descended to the mortal world to play and played with that Grand Duke Jiang for a while.

Later on, Grand Duke Jiang was made a god.

When Gu Nuo’er heard of his news a long time later, she heard that a wisp of his spirit had descended to the mortal world to reincarnate and experience life.

Now that they were reunited, he couldn’t remember Gu Nuo’er, who was a small fish from the Jade Pool.

However, after being reincarnated for so long, it was natural for him to not remember.

Ye Siming returned very quickly. He rode Bai Yi’s horse and rushed over.

He handed the remaining banknotes to Old Master Jiang.

Old Jiang counted the money and only took 100 taels. He returned everything else.

“The reason I set this price is to look for someone sincere. Little girl, I’ll leave this shop to you in the future. Since I trust you, I won’t charge so much money. After all, I know how much this shop is worth.”

Gu Nuo’er looked up at the old man’s white beard and smiled kindly.

She waved her small hand. “Grandpa Jiang, you’ve misunderstood. I’m willing to fork out this money not only because I want to buy your shop!

“If Grandpa Jiang can live to at least 100 years old, then there are still… Oh, there are still a few decades left. As long as Grandpa doesn’t fall sick, you have to help me draw lanterns well!

“Therefore, this money of mine will buy you comfort for the rest of your life! 1,000 taels is actually not much!”

Old Jiang stroked his beard and laughed when he heard this.

“Little girl, you’re really smart.”

In this way, Old Jiang accepted the money.

Everyone knew very well that Gu Nuo’er wanted to take care of an old man like him who had no wife or children.

Not only was he allowed to stay and work, but he was also given so much money to let him live a carefree life for the rest of his life.

Under the setting sun, Gu Nuo’er and Ye Siming decided to go back.

The child said to Duan Hanping, “Uncle Duan, it’s been hard on you today. Here are ten silver taels. Arrange for a few people to help Grandpa Jiang clean up the shop first.

“When I go back, I’ll ask the amazing uncles to see how to change the structure of my sweet pastry shop.”

Duan Hanping refused repeatedly. “Princess has saved this commoner’s life. This commoner is already more than willing to work for you. How can I accept the money? Princess, quickly take it back.”

Gu Nuo’er’s fair and soft face was dyed pink like rouge.

“That won’t do. Uncle Duan, these are two separate matters. Don’t stand on ceremony with me. Accept it first. I’ll have to trouble you with many things in the future!”

Duan Hanping couldn’t refuse anymore and could only accept it.
