Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1035 is nothing to worry about.

There's no need to worry. Your third son-in-law, that sixth brother, is the one who schemes against others, rarely the one being schemed against. It's good that he can't get out of this situation for a while.

He's such a nuisance at home; they even control whether he eats or drinks a little less. It's better to let him stay at the academy a little longer and bother other people.

In order to allow Gu Wenxuan to focus on his studies at Jingshan Academy, Zhou Banxia immediately had Mai Qing come in to grind ink after Zhou Sishun left.

She dictated a letter to her family, which Mai Qing wrote on her behalf. The next day, she packed it together with letters from her parents-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law and sent them to Gu Wenxuan.

With the letter sent away and her two parents back at home and outside, she rarely needed to intervene, so she could indeed focus on her postpartum recovery.

While patiently waiting for Gu Wenxuan's frequent letters, and watching the child grow like the wind, changing every day even with daily care, a full month soon arrived.

On the second day after the baby turned one month old, without her having to say anything, her understanding mother-in-law immediately gave the order that she could take the baby back to the main room.

Unfortunately, she was just small-framed; she didn't actually need to be very strong. Even though childbirth had taken a toll on her energy, she was already full of vitality thanks to the constant intake of tonics. It's just a pity that her mother-in-law doted on her too much; even showing off her muscles didn't work, and she still insisted that she stay in confinement for another month.

There was no room for negotiation; she had to stay in confinement for the full two months without any discussion. Fortunately, at least she could wash her hair and take a shower first.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to take a shower, Zhou Banxia couldn't wait to sneak into the villa's bathroom and give herself a thorough cleaning.

Aside from her hair, which was difficult to fake, even with a hairdryer, she couldn't fool Mai Dong and the others who would be serving her later, so she washed her hair thoroughly twice, from her neck to her toes.

After coming out, I washed my hair and then washed it from head to toe. The feeling of being refreshed after washing was like being reborn; it was incredibly comfortable.

On this day, the little Yuan Ge'er, who was a bit wrinkled when he was born, had already transformed into a chubby little dumpling and had also taken a bath.

The mother and son moved back to the main room comfortably. Although they still couldn't go out and get some fresh air, it was different from the previous month. The space was larger, and it was a completely different feeling.

That's why they say it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Unlike the three-room side rooms, the main room alone has five rooms, not counting the east and west side rooms.

First and foremost, the space is open and spacious.

The maids on night watch no longer needed to squeeze into a room with the children and wet nurses. Aside from the fact that the west wing was set up as a small study and was difficult to move, there were also inner and outer rooms in the east and west wings.

Secondly, staying in a superior room is undoubtedly more convenient.

Using a side room as a maternity ward for entertaining guests is somewhat inconvenient, unlike the main room where the hall is large and guests don't have to worry about making a little noise disturbing the baby.

After she and her son moved back to the main room, Zhou Banxia noticed that, not to mention Ma Shan, her older sister Zhou Daya also came more often, making the place much livelier.

In this atmosphere where tranquility and liveliness coexisted, time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, the day of Gu Wenxuan's return seemed to arrive very quickly.

"Honey, I'm back. Did you miss me?"

Don't say it!

Life goes on so fast, I almost forgot about you if you didn't send me messages every now and then!

Zhou Banxia couldn't help but chuckle and rub her forehead. "Do you even need to ask? Of course I miss you. I wonder if you've eaten, slept, or if you've run into anyone you don't get along with."

"Did you receive the letter I wrote to you? Were you out there ignoring my advice and burning the midnight oil again, studying? Your ears must be itching!" Mentioning the itchy ears made Gu Wenxuan instinctively scratch his right ear with his pinky finger. "It's alright. An itchy ear means you miss me."

"Not necessarily. There are plenty of people who are thinking about you. Have you seen your elder brother? I heard from your sister-in-law that he comes home every day and the first thing he says is, 'I wonder how Liu Lang is doing at the academy.'"

"That's right, my brother spent the whole day at home waiting for me to come back." Gu Wenxuan nodded, "I saw him, and I even saw your brother-in-law when I went to the city."

He also asked if the river had sent me any messages along its course. I told him the river was almost at Yangzhou Prefecture, and then he said, "Your elder sister heard the same thing from you."

understand.

"He's a very good brother-in-law. He not only cares about Dajiang, but also often goes to my dad whenever he has free time to see if there's anything he can do to help.

Besides that, he was worried that I would be bored at home alone, so he asked his in-laws to take care of my baby these days, so that my older sister could come over to keep me company and chat more.

I suggested that it would be great to bring Yue'er to our place, but my older sister said that her husband had told her to say that she was too far along in her pregnancy and that taking care of the baby was too tiring. She had even prepared an excuse for herself.

Actually, Yue'er is already so big, even if she comes with her older sister, how could she disturb me? She's incredibly thoughtful, even telling her older sister not to bring anyone from her family along.

A while ago, the workshop was hiring female workers, and my older sister's husband's sister-in-law and niece wanted to accompany her to see me, but my brother-in-law turned them down on her behalf.

Li Chunsheng is quite good! Gu Wenxuan nodded in agreement, "According to Senior Brother Qian, he learns quite quickly and is now no worse than Zhao Sanlang, a student of the first level."

“Well—” Zhou Banxia shook her head with a laugh, “I can only say that the clerk who took care of my brother-in-law was very dedicated, but my brother-in-law did work really hard.”

I heard from my sister-in-law that her older brother said that if her brother-in-law doesn't come home, he studies at night. People who don't know the situation might think that her brother-in-law is trying to pass the imperial examinations.

This shows that my brother-in-law really did learn diligently from them. That's good; if he can learn, making a living this way won't be a problem, and things will be easy once he gets the hang of it.

“Indeed, although we gave him a chance, the key is still his personal ability.” As he spoke, Gu Wenxuan couldn’t help but turn around and look around.

“Your son is still sleeping.” Zhou Banxia knew what he was looking for at a glance. “He’s a very good sleeper. This kid definitely won’t be a very diligent child when he grows up.”

Gu Wenxuan was thinking to himself, "I guessed that was the case, otherwise why hadn't the wet nurse brought the baby over for a while?" when he heard his wife say that their son was not diligent.

"How could that be? A child this young doesn't eat or sleep, he just eats and sleeps. How can he help you with chores? This is my son, you know he's smart, right?"
Only if the county princess eats and sleeps, and sleeps and eats, will it be better for her health. When she grows up, whether she looks like you or me, do you think our son will get up early to study?

This conclusion?

It’s really hard to say.

If I were like myself, I might not necessarily be a diligent child. If I weren't forced by reality, would I still not know that sleeping until I naturally wake up is the most comfortable?

Do not believe?

"Look at me now, when do I ever get up early? Only someone with water in their brain would get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs. Of course, I'm not implying anything about you."

"Even if you're talking about me, there's nothing I can do." Gu Wenxuan shook his head with a smile. "I'll be done soon too. After the provincial examination, even if you ask me to study, I won't."

"Don't speak so soon. I made up my mind eight hundred years ago not to marry or have children, and now I've contradicted myself! By the way, why did my grand-uncle let you come back?"
