Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1031 Wanting to squander money again

After much anticipation, Zhou Sishun finally saw Gu Wenxuan. Before he could even secretly rejoice that his third son-in-law was indeed his third son-in-law, he was always thinking about his third daughter.

As soon as he arrived at the village, he went out and drew a map as he went, so that he could take it back to Sanya as soon as possible, so that Sanya would know what the north side of the big village was like.

Then he heard his third son-in-law suddenly change the subject, saying that if large ships wanted to land directly on the north side of the manor, they would need to build a proper dock.

It's dying.

They're thinking of squandering money again.

That's why they say their daughter and son-in-law are a match made in heaven. They're both spendthrifts, yet their uncle-in-law immediately applauded their child.

Is it really good?
"It's not a bad idea. Zhoujia Village isn't much more convenient than this place. First of all, it's farther from the river, so traveling by water isn't as convenient as it is here..."

No, you don't know that the child's junior brother previously acquired large shops and estates for this child in the Dingzhou Prefecture wharf area, so how could there be any inconvenience in traveling by water?

Thursday, Shun silently complained. He first welcomed his son, Uncle Cheng, onto the carriage and waited for Uncle Cheng to finish speaking. To be honest, he made a lot of sense. What should he do?
Nod.

That said, how much silver do the young couple, Sanya and her husband, actually have? How long have they owned the estate and shop, and how much silver have they accumulated?

It shouldn't be this fast. When Dajiang went out, his third son-in-law told him to carry silver notes totaling about ten thousand taels of silver with him.

This doesn't even include the fact that Sanya and her husband must have sent Gu Dahua and the others with silver notes to Jiangnan for what? Even if Sanya didn't say, he could guess.

Given Sanya's personality, even knowing that her uncle was in Jiangnan, she was too lazy to send someone down to Jiangnan to find her Aunt Lan's son and investigate whether those village heads were dishonest.

Unless the original plan was for Dahua and the others to go south of the Yangtze River to buy something, and this was just a convenient way to get something for themselves, and also let Dahua and the others check out those estates.

But if they do that, wouldn't Da Hua and the others be carrying silver notes when they go out? They'd need to have a lot of silver left for the Third Son-in-law to ask to build a proper dock.
The third son-in-law's brain is no less sharp than Sanya's; he knows that building a proper dock is necessary, and even a small dock will cost a lot of money.

Are those workshops really that good at making money? Is Zhao Laosan not joking, and his Sanya's workshops are really making a fortune every day?

impossible!
His daughter Sanya isn't a greedy child. If she can earn money steadily at home, she won't raise prices too high, and the tofu she makes will be very cheap.

Unless Sanya is coaxed by her third son-in-law, and he is the one in charge, he might raise the price once he learns that Zhao Laosan has already doubled his money.

With the third son-in-law's brains and his excellent mastery of the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art, the price of the earliest scented soaps couldn't be raised any further, and the price of the new scented soaps that followed couldn't be raised any further either.
The brat who can so easily win over his third daughter might seem like a quiet fellow to those who don't know his true nature, but he's actually incredibly good at sweet-talking...

Gu, the brat, noticed that for some reason, his father-in-law, despite having already agreed to build the dock, kept glancing at him every now and then, making him feel a chill down his spine.

To be honest, although his father-in-law usually tried to stretch every penny in half, he was quite generous when it came to spending money on important matters.

At least she was heartbroken inside, but outwardly she could still keep a straight face. Besides, since he, as her son-in-law, had already said it, she was even less likely to look at him more than once because of it.

Given his father-in-law's character, even if he secretly disapproved of building the dock, he would never reveal his true thoughts to his son-in-law. At most, he would talk to his daughter about it when they got home.

But then she kept glancing at her son-in-law, could it be that she only just realized how outstanding her third son-in-law was?
Maybe that's really the case. I must have misunderstood my father-in-law's look. And since I was wearing so little clothing, it's no wonder I felt a chill down my spine. Yes, that's exactly it.

I understand. No matter how close I am to Uncle Cheng, Uncle Cheng is not as close as you. Don't be jealous, okay? Let me handle Uncle Cheng first.

"You brat, why are you blinking all of a sudden? What are you up to now?" Zhou Shun had just turned his head when he saw his third son-in-law secretly winking at him.

This startled him, and he almost forgot what he was going to say next. "...Sit still and wait for me and your senior uncle to finish talking."

"..." Your son-in-law will overthink things if you act like this. Gu Wenxuan nodded silently and gestured for Zhou Sishun to continue. Hmm? Did we forget where we were?
Don't say that, don't say that, I really forgot.

Haha, I had to stop.

Were you just about to say that the nickname my dad picked for your grandson just happens to come together with the nickname of your great-nephew to form the word "reunion"?
"This child, always interrupting." Zhou Sishun reacted quickly, laughing and scolding before changing the subject to the child, Uncle Cheng's eldest grandson.

It's not that I forgot what I was going to say next, it's not like I forgot what we were just chatting about. We were just talking about the birth of the eldest grandson of the eldest brother, and the fact that the eldest brother wasn't home or anything like that.

Then, praising the child's grandson, the eldest grandson of his master, is a sure way to go. No one doesn't cherish their own grandson; it's not just Old Man Gu who favors his grandson.

Besides, it wasn't that he intentionally flattered his child's senior brother; a child who could be praised by his elder brother as "knowing a thousand colors at three and reciting a hundred poems at five" couldn't be anything less than excellent.

However, the child's uncle and his elder brother were both close to forty years old when they had their eldest grandsons, and neither of them had an early eldest grandson.

If he had been born earlier, not to mention what would have happened to his elder brother's eldest grandson, the child, as the eldest grandson of his uncle, might have even been able to take the imperial examination and obtain official rank.

Ignoring the fact that the eldest grandson of the second brother of the child's grand-uncle, who is now following the child's grand-uncle, is not even a few years older than his own son, Da Jiang, and is already a scholar who has passed the imperial examination.

It truly proves the saying that like father, like son. They are so good at studying. Won't the Cheng family produce another scholar in a few years?

Many families would be overjoyed if they produced a scholar, but the Cheng family is different. Passing the imperial examination is as easy as playing in the mud for them. Every single one of them is a successful candidate, and as long as they take the exam, they are all successful candidates, even if they don't become a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examination).

I can’t envy you.

"My little He?" Zhou Shun was lost in thought on Thursday when he heard his son, Uncle Cheng, mention his son, He Ge'er, saying, "He's still young, we can't tell how he's doing in school yet."

"What are your thoughts on the marriage?"

I knew you'd bring this up sooner or later, but while your family's offspring are good, your daughter and niece really aren't suitable.

Either the age difference is too large, or the age difference is too small.

Another question is, how many children do I have?
He keeps saying he wants to marry a virtuous wife, but goodness, Sister Hui is just too good-looking.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sishun couldn't help but smile. He shook his head and said, "I still want to wait a few more years until he's older and more sensible before we talk about marriage."

These days, when it comes to marriage proposals, not only are the girls young and it's hard to tell what they'll look like when they grow up, but my son Xiaohe is still undecided. Marriage is supposed to be a good thing, but it might end up as a bitter feud.
