Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1025 I Really Can't Do It

Perhaps he was simply not good at social niceties. Even his father had tried his best to persuade him to go to Zhoujia Village first, rest for a night, and then go to the prefectural city.

He felt gratitude and respect for Master Cheng; after all, no one is without feelings. However, he genuinely couldn't bring himself to be as clingy as his third sister's husband.

Even though she knew very well that the reason why Master Cheng treated her third brother-in-law with such kindness was not only because he appreciated and cherished talent, but also because her third brother-in-law did not treat Master Cheng as an outsider.

If he could act like his third brother-in-law, acting as a nephew, and chat and joke freely with Master Cheng without any restraint, he would have to be able to say that.

Even if one could bring oneself to say it, how could one possibly control the degree of inappropriateness? Look at how Master Cheng even tried to coax his third brother-in-law to listen to him before he left.

In my father's words, my third brother-in-law is a master of tricks, but how easy is it to get him to learn more of his skills? Look, he's complaining about being thirsty, but where's the cup?

Zhou Sishun, with a wry smile, took the teacup from his son and passed it to his son-in-law, took a sip, and said, "Hmm, tea that has passed through my son-in-law's hands is much sweeter."

"Of course, I just secretly added some sugar. No, my dear father-in-law, I was just being polite for a moment, and I was hoping you would let me drink first. Why did you gulp it down?"

Zhou Yujiang laughed, thinking to himself, "You're such a good brother-in-law. If you hadn't already reached out to pour water, even I would have believed in your sincerity in putting elders first."

Zhou Sishun found it quite amusing; with fewer outsiders around, his third son-in-law was becoming more and more childlike, and of course, he was also getting closer to him.

It's not that he likes sweet-talking children; it's just that some children are so well-behaved on the surface that you wouldn't even notice the difference. It's the in-laws who are really good at disciplining children.

As the old saying goes, "Thirty years ago, people respected their sons because of their fathers; thirty years later, people respect their fathers because of their sons." Well, it hasn't even been thirty years yet, and this son is already a source of pride for his family.

It not only makes his parents proud, but it also makes his father-in-law proud. Who wouldn't envy his two sons-in-law for being so filial? They are truly good children.

If such a good son can cherish his wife as much as he does now for the rest of his life and never have any ulterior motives to hurt his daughter, then he, as her father-in-law, would ask for nothing more.

But could he really voice these thoughts? Look at how respectful Erlang is to Brother Ma, but not affectionate enough. Unlike Liulang, who is so devoted to his father-in-law.

A son-in-law can't always be nagging and intimidating. Even sons don't always listen to their fathers, let alone sons-in-law. Who hasn't been a son-in-law? It's no wonder that you feel uncomfortable being constantly nagged by your father-in-law.

If the in-laws hear this too often, they won't feel annoyed that they don't trust his son's character. Even the son-in-law might take it to heart. We can't let the son-in-law develop any resentment.

What to do? Just coax him a bit more. He doesn't believe he can't coax his son-in-law. His daughter is the best. If anyone dares to let his daughter down, it would be a huge loss for his daughter.

Take his daughter Sanya for example, "Sanya is definitely worried about where the three of us are right now, wondering if you've been reading in the car against my advice..."

Yes, I told her not to worry about it, and she nodded repeatedly. I'm just afraid that she'll be even more disobedient while she's at home recovering from childbirth and I'm not around.

Next time we go out, I absolutely have to take her with me, otherwise, given her personality of always relying on herself, she might even end up taking care of our son by herself at night.

Her son is important, but if she doesn't take care of her health first, wouldn't that be a greater loss? Only when she is healthy can she live a long life and spend more time with her son. She probably forgot this long-term perspective.

As Zhou Sishun was talking, he saw his third son-in-law turn his head to look out the window. Without a doubt, the direction he was looking was towards Qinghe Village.

He was satisfied.

He was secretly delighted.

I forget who once told him that if you want your child to want to come home for a family reunion, talk to them more about things at home, and they will take it to heart.

That's the same principle.
Instead of following Brother Ma's example and warning his son-in-law not to get into any trouble outside, it's better to let him think more about his wife and son at home. The son-in-law is now paying attention. The convoy continued moving forward; Zhoujia Village was very close, and even closer, of course, was Zhou Banxia's estate adjacent to Zhoujia Village. In the blink of an eye, the convoy turned right from the main road.

The next intersection.

The head of the village was already there to greet them.

As before.

He bowed and greeted her.

Get on the carriage and sit properly.

Gu Wenxuan then heard the head of the estate report one by one.

In fact, not only Gu Wenxuan heard it, but Zhou Sishun and Dajiang, who were riding in the same carriage, also heard it.

They reported who was currently residing in the manor and waiting for their arrival, as well as when Zhou Yanhai had stayed in Zhoujia Village for a few days after returning from Qinghe Village, and when he had returned to the capital.

Furthermore, Madam Zhou and Zhou Yanqing, who were originally supposed to rush back to sweep the tombs and pay respects to their ancestors during the Qingming Festival, only returned a few days ago. Now, for some reason, Zhou Yanqing has failed to come to this estate.

Even without adding their own opinions, the head of the manor here took quite a while to report everything. Before Gu Wenxuan could ask anything, the carriage arrived at the manor gate.

Unlike Zhou Banxia, ​​who has never left Qingyang County since becoming pregnant, not to mention Zhou Shun and Da Jiang who just returned to Qinghe Village from Zhoujia Village, Gu Wenxuan also rushed over before the New Year.

Outside the gate, a row of familiar faces stood.

After Gu Wenxuan and the other familiar faces, along with Da Jiang, bowed and greeted him, he waved for them to leave. Finally, he had a chance to ask the headman where the guests staying there were.

It wasn't that the head of the manor was stupid and didn't know what was important, so he just gave a random report without any sense of priority. The main problem was that although the distance from the crossroads to the manor was not short, the carriage was too fast.

Unlike before, when it was the off-season for farming, the tenants were incredibly enthusiastic when they learned that their landlord was coming. Even in the dead of winter, everyone would run to the crossroads to welcome their landlord.

It was afternoon, and apart from a few people working in the small workshops of the estate, almost everyone else was busy in the fields. When they learned that the owner had arrived, the carriages were about to enter the estate.

In this way, the journey would be much smoother, and Jiaxing wanted the coachman to arrive at the manor as soon as possible so that his master could have a hot meal first, so the carriage could run faster.

Therefore, Gu Wenxuan did not blame the head of the estate. What he was curious about was why, knowing that his father-in-law was arriving today, neither of his cousins, Qi Junyan and Qi Junyan, who were staying with him, showed up.

No matter what, his father-in-law is an elder, and he is the father-in-law of Qi Junyan's cousin/sister. If he had no other choice, why wouldn't he have come out to greet him early?

really!

Like Zhou Yanqing and his brother, they were summoned to the city by Uncle Wen early this morning and have not returned yet. It is unclear why Uncle Wen is looking for them instead of staying at home to observe mourning.

The answer was soon revealed.

Who?
Is Junior Uncle at the Wen residence?

Junior Uncle is not in the capital, so why did he come to Dingzhou Prefecture? Could it be that he has finished his business here and can take a boat back to Jiangnan with Dajiang and the others?

Gu Dahua, who had gone to Zhoujia Village to report their arrival earlier, returned and said that even the young master of the Xu family had been invited to the Wen family early in the morning. Gu Wenxuan was truly shocked. Had the sky fallen?
