Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1008 What a huge blunder!

Those two sons walking ahead are whispering to each other, while your father-in-law and Uncle Ma are waiting for you two brothers.

Fortunately, his son is not blind; he looked up and quickly came over, taking three steps at a time, and didn't forget to greet him on the way.

Ma Dazhuang reached out and patted Gu Wenxuan on the shoulder. He was very satisfied that Gu Wenxuan could withstand the pat, and laughed, saying that he was not a weak scholar.

Gu Wenxuan said frankly that it was all thanks to the good foundation that you laid for me, and then mischievously stretched out his leg, as if to attack Ma Erhu, who was just smiling and not saying a word.

Upon seeing this, Ma Erhu immediately dodged. "You little brat, Liu Lang, what did I do to deserve this? You just kicked me right away. Second Uncle, aren't you going to beat up your naughty boy?"

"Your dad taught you some really good fighting skills, I can't handle my son," Gu Erzhu joked. "He kicked you, why didn't you punch him?"

"My brother-in-law grabbed me." Ma Erhu decisively shifted the blame to Gu Erlang, who had just walked up to him. "You've got your hand and foot skills back, so you haven't fallen behind on your books, have you?"

He was asking Gu Wenxuan that question.

Gu Wenxuan slowed his pace so that his father and Uncle Ma could walk ahead, and nodded with a smile to Ma Erhu, "Why didn't I see Third Brother and the others with you?"

As for Ma Dahu?
He knows.

Unlike his brother-in-law Li Chunsheng, who had a three-day leave, Ma Dahu had to work today, so he escorted Qian Huaizhi back to the county government yesterday evening.

But Ma Sanhu and Ma Sihu, the four of them, were traveling together before, planning to return to Majia'ao to prepare for the Qingming Festival ancestral worship. Now they've disappeared.

“Someone has to stay home. Not only will lambs be delivered later, but we also need to send someone to deliver goods into the city. I didn’t want to go at first, because I was afraid my dad would get drunk.”

Ma Erhu spoke very softly afterward, whispering close to Gu Wenxuan, which amused Gu Wenxuan. "The old man heard him."

impossible!
My dad and your dad were having a great chat and were walking fast, so how could he hear what the person behind us was saying!

Despite his thoughts, Ma Erhu quickly looked ahead.

瞅！
They've gone far away from us again!
That's why they say scholars are the most cunning and treacherous. Even with his father leading the way, this scholar still managed to deceive people. It's a shame he thought this kid was honest before.

Ma Erhu rolled his eyes at Gu Wenxuan in annoyance, then turned his head to the side and saw Gu Erlang walking beside him.

Got it!
My brother-in-law is no honest man either; he's incredibly cunning. He's got all the Gu family's secrets on him. Oh, right, "When is Doctor Song leaving?"

ask me?

Gu Erlang was somewhat surprised. It would be more reliable to ask Liulang. "I'm not very clear. I estimate that Uncle Song will have to wait until the baby is a month old before he can go back."

"The same goes for midwives?"

"Is this question meant to imply that they're trying to hire someone as a midwife?" Gu Erlang and Gu Wenxuan exchanged a glance and immediately shook their heads. "They'll definitely be leaving soon."

She's been gone for almost half a year now, I'm afraid even if we wanted to keep her, we couldn't. Your sister-in-law said that Aunt Chen entrusted Aunt Lin with everything your wife ate during her postpartum period a long time ago?

Gu Wenxuan nodded and continued, "That's right. Just the day before yesterday, Aunt Chen said that they would only stay for another ten days or half a month before going back. Now it seems that even half a month is unlikely. It just so happens that Madam Xu is going back. We won't be leaving together tomorrow, but we will meet up with Madam Xu in Zhoujia Village in a few days."

Yes, that's true. His brother wasn't lying. It's not just Madam Xu who's going to be going; Da Jiang is also going down to the south of the Yangtze River, and Aunt Chen and the others will naturally be going with them.

But what about Dajiang's plan to travel south to study?
Gu Erlang didn't know if his in-laws already knew, so he simply didn't say anything more to prove that his brother's words were true, but he still nodded to Ma Erhu.

"So, Dr. Song will be staying for at least another month or so. Will your master be coaxed away by Dr. Song, and will you be going out with your master?"

What do you mean?
Upon hearing this, Gu Erlang realized he had misunderstood. It turned out that his brother-in-law wasn't trying to help anyone find a midwife, but was worried that he would abandon his wife and children and run away with his master.

"You can't coax him away. My master won't be going out for at least another year or two. If he does go out, it will be after the weather warms up next year, then he might go back for a visit."

"Didn't they say that your master's eldest son wrote to Doctor Song, asking him to persuade your master to take you back so you could offer incense to your grandmaster or something?"

Gu Erlang was taken aback upon hearing this. "Is that so? How come I didn't know?" Looking at Ma Erhu's expression, it didn't seem like he was deliberately testing him. "Who told you this?"

"Huh? You didn't know your master's eldest son sent a letter?" Ma Erhu was even more surprised than him, so much so that he forgot he could continue walking and talking and stopped in his tracks.

"I know about the letter."

More than one letter arrived.

When Uncle Song mentioned the first letter, his master gave his son a good scolding, and not only the eldest son, but all of his children were also scolded.

Strangely, Gu Erlang asked again, puzzled, "You asked me to offer incense to my master's ancestor, but I haven't heard Uncle Song mention it at all. Who told you that?"

Ma Erhu was dumbfounded. "Then who did my sister hear this from?"

It was definitely my sister-in-law's doing!
Gu Wenxuan tried his best to suppress a laugh and nodded, "Aunt Lin?"

“That’s right. It’s most likely that Dr. Lin told Tiger Girl. I misheard and thought Dr. Song told you, and then you told Tiger Girl, so Tiger Girl found out.”

What a huge blunder!
"It must be because my sister-in-law has been so busy these past two days that she didn't hear what Aunt Lin was saying clearly. When the words got to you, Erhu, they had a completely different meaning. That's why even when we're face to face, we can still get things wrong."

A few days ago, I told you face-to-face that I'd wait for you at the East Gate. But after you told Dad, did he think I'd wait for you at the East Side Gate? I've been so confused! Why haven't you and Dad come over yet?

That's about it, brother. If it wasn't Dr. Lin who said it, then it was Dr. Lin who said it. Otherwise, how would your sister-in-law have found out about this? You should speak up now.

If you don't say anything, there will be a big misunderstanding. Your second brother-in-law might mistakenly think that you think his sister talks too much and that you're unhappy because you suddenly stop talking!

"What are you three dawdling for? Hurry up!"

Hey, your father-in-law is calling you!
"I heard you, we're coming right now." Gu Erlang shouted quickly, and his right hand swiftly grabbed Ma Erhu's arm and continued walking forward. "I was wondering if Uncle Song has received another letter from that side these past two days."

If the letter arrives in the next couple of days, it will make sense. I haven't been to my master's house with Uncle Song in the last couple of days. My master did come here yesterday, but there were so many people that we didn't have time to say anything.

Perhaps Aunt Lin brought this up with Tiger Girl in the heat of the moment, wanting to inform Tiger Girl first, so that my husband and I could discuss whether or not to accompany Master back, and then persuade him to go back as well.”
