Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1012 Parting and Reunion Always Happen

Everything in the world has its time; gatherings and separations are inevitable. After a lively and bustling gathering, the convoy that arrived without a beginning or end has set off again without a beginning or end.

After seeing off her "family," Zhou Banxia didn't have time to feel sad. Her good sister-in-law immediately sent her a "band" to her.

There were opera singers, folk singers, storytellers, and of course, musicians playing the zither and pipa. They were all incredibly beautiful female performers.

They said they'd let her rest and relax during her postpartum period first, and after she finished her double postpartum confinement, they'd send her to the capital to entertain Princess Rui. Luckily, it wasn't to entertain Prince Rui.

As expected of the direct granddaughter-in-law of Prince Rui's mansion, and the fact that several granddaughters-in-law jointly purchased the actress, she is incredibly filial. Fortunately, she was given a clear indication to let her take a look first, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to "steal" her away.

This life is truly decadent. It's so good to have power and influence. No wonder her Mr. Gu is even more motivated now and has started studying all night again.

Sure enough, every time I asked, it was the right answer. It was almost four in the morning, and Second Master was either in the main study or still buried in his desk in the small study, working hard.

Why aren't you asleep yet?

Oh, so you know to go back to your room to take a picture before it's time, so you can see if I find out you've been up all night when I wake up in the middle of the night? "You don't have to go to the county school tomorrow morning?"

"Oh no, I'm about to go to sleep." Gu Wenxuan would never admit that he was a night owl. "I've just been back at the county school a few days ago and I've been a bit too busy."

So you mean you have a lot of homework since you just got back to school? Do you really think I had no idea how much homework your uncle assigned you? Zhou Banxia nodded, suppressing a laugh, "Then shall we get on the kang now?"

"I'm going to take a bath. You go to sleep first. You won't be able to sleep when our son wakes up tomorrow morning. Fortunately, I have a day off the day after tomorrow, so I can spend time with you and the baby."

Hearing Gu Wenxuan's tired expression, Zhou Banxia didn't bother to mention that the day after tomorrow was the Qingming Festival, a day for ancestor worship, and that she wanted to spend time with Gu Wenxuan and his mother. It would be strange if she didn't have enough time.

She nodded quickly again, still looking confused, then lay down and mumbled, "Then come back and sleep with me," before immediately closing her eyes.

It's too difficult to be stuck with a man who always thinks she needs him to take care of her every step of the way. If she doesn't pretend to be asleep immediately, he won't feel at ease.

I'm either overthinking and worrying that she'll be having trouble sleeping tonight because she's thinking about Dajiang going out in a couple of days, or I'm wondering if she has something else on her mind that's keeping her awake.

Gu Wenxuan really did take a bath and go to sleep, but when he came back, his wife, who had been pretending to be asleep, was actually fast asleep.

Perhaps she was dreaming of something wonderful, but her baby face, which had somehow shrunk again, was now adorned with a pair of prominent dimples and a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth.

In the rare quiet of the night, with his son being looked after by a wet nurse and maid in the next room and undisturbed, he quickly and quietly climbed onto the kang (heated brick bed), pulled his wife into his arms, and closed his eyes to sleep.

When I woke up again, there was still an oil lamp lit in the room for getting up at night, which showed that it was still dark outside, at most the beginning of the hour of Mao (5-7 AM), or even before that.

Generally speaking, my son wakes up once a day between the beginning and end of the Mao hour (5-7 AM), gets a dry diaper, is fed, and then sleeps until the Chen hour (7-9 AM).

Although I don't share a room with my son at night, we are only separated by a side room and a main room, so I can still hear the slightest noise. It seems that it's almost dawn.

With that in mind, Gu Wenxuan was no longer in a hurry to get up. He quickly took another look at Zhou Banxia, ​​who had been complaining about the smell on her body and head, and was now nestled in his arms.

With the same quality of sleep I'm getting right now as well as my son, I dare say that giving birth this time didn't take a toll on my energy. I used to be so energetic and vibrant.

Not to mention when I was twenty in my past life, even when I was almost forty, I was still full of energy, like I was made of iron. I could stay awake for two nights and still be full of vigor.

listen!
My son cried!

I was even startled awake!
"What time is it? Bring Yuan-ge'er over here—" Alright!
You heard a "whoosh" from him?
Gu Wenxuan chuckled and pressed his wife down. "It's me. Our son stopped crying as soon as he started. The wet nurse must have picked him up immediately. You can go back to sleep. I'm here."

Zhou Banxia rubbed her sleepy eyes with both hands. Upon hearing this, she reached out her right hand to pat him and let go of her, but Gu Wenxuan was one step ahead of her, letting go and jumping off the kang.

Listening closely, there was no sound of a child crying. Instead, Mai Huang was whispering to the wet nurse, so it seemed that she didn't need to get up to comfort the child again.

However, she couldn't sleep either. The baby's crying made her chest feel tight. "I put on my robe, but it's a bit chilly at night. Is it raining?"

"It seems so. Don't worry, I won't get wet in the carriage." Hearing that his son was being well taken care of, Gu Wenxuan didn't rush out and put his outer robe back on.

"It should rain frequently by Qingming Festival. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but it seems like it hasn't rained much since the beginning of the first lunar month this year."

"Don't worry, you can't hide anything from your dad, even if the weather is unusual. He was busy at the brickyard the other day, but he still remembered the work in the fields."

That's right.

Her father was a true veteran farmer, but unfortunately, these days we still depend on the weather for our livelihood; whether the crops are good or not depends on the weather.

"Why are you up?" Gu Wenxuan teased her, worried that I would go to the opposite room alone and be seduced by a mere wet nurse.

What a look!
Zhou Banxia chuckled and widened her eyes. "I need to use the restroom, Second Master! If it's going to rain today, there's no need to rush back tonight. No, we still have to pay respects to our ancestors tomorrow."

"You finally remembered. It seems you really don't want to see me anymore. Never mind, I'll go find my son instead. Do you want me to get you a chamber pot?"

"No need, it's not like I'm heavily pregnant."

Even with a big belly, she didn't use a chamber pot, right?
Yes!

There was no mistake in my memory!

Zhou Banxia decisively waved her right hand, signaling him to go ahead and do his thing. She quickly put on her clothes to avoid dawdling any longer, as he would have to abandon the carriage at the village entrance and instead ride a fast horse into the city.

"You really don't need it?"

Zhou Banxia gave him a disdainful look.

"Then I'll go find my son?"

Sigh, she has to be the one to say it!

Zhou Banxia chuckled, "Go ahead, after you've seen your son, you still need to have breakfast before leaving, right? I'll have someone bring you breakfast as soon as I'm done here, and we can have breakfast together. We can chat when you get back tonight."

That's more like it! How could you want your man to go far away from you from the very beginning!

Gu Wenxuan smiled broadly with satisfaction. As he turned to leave, he took advantage of Zhou Banxia's lowered head to fasten her buttons and unexpectedly reached out to cup her face with both hands, giving her a big peck.

Zhou Banxia: "..." This man is getting more and more childish. "I haven't even washed my face—"

"I haven't brushed my teeth yet, don't worry, I don't mind." After saying that, Gu Wenxuan suppressed a laugh and quickly went out. After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around, and sure enough, as he expected, his wife really did clench her fist and wave it at him.

another beautiful day.
