Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1045 All you do is flatter people!
Unsurprisingly, he was about to be kicked out again. Before running away, Gu Wenxuan mischievously hugged Cheng Xianyu, and sure enough, the old man blushed.

You naughty boy!
Brat!
Bastard!
All you do is try to sweet-talk people!
After being scolded, Gu Wenxuan laughed and left. He then greeted the other teachers and his classmates before packing his bags and running away.

How long is half a month? It felt longer than when I was at Jingshan Academy. It seemed like I was very close to home, but even riding at full speed, it would only take me a few hours to get back.

Leaving the county school, they passed by the county government office. It was almost time for the office to close. Qian Huaizhi was not busy at this time. They chatted for a while and he was able to get home before dark.

It's not far from home, really. Once you leave the city gate, you can let your mount run at full speed, and the twenty-mile journey takes only a quarter of an hour.

However, the prerequisite is being able to leave the county school; otherwise, let alone a twenty-mile journey, even if it's right next to your doorstep, it's all in vain.

As the sun sets and we ride south at a brisk pace, we can see wildflowers blooming all over the mountains. Late April is the perfect time to take my wife and children on a spring outing.

The main courtyard of Yuyuan Garden.

After Zhou Banxia finished her two-month postpartum confinement, she cleverly packed herself and her son and moved to her in-laws' courtyard, occupying the west wing room all day long.

The more people there are, the more lively it is. Seeing this, Ma Shan followed suit. She would never take her youngest son back to the East Courtyard until it got dark or until Gu Erlang returned home from the town clinic.

At this moment, apart from Zhou Banxia, ​​who had once again wandered off somewhere while her mother-in-law was at home, the women were sitting in the courtyard, some chatting and laughing, others playing with the children.

Ms. Li, who was present at the event, was overjoyed to receive another letter from her son recently, even though her third daughter had not returned for a long time.

However, words should be spoken face to face. Her husband instructed her not to think that just because her mother-in-law is easy to talk to, she can treat her daughter as if she were just running around aimlessly.

You still have to scold her when necessary, even if your daughter is running off to do something important. In front of your mother-in-law, it's better to scold than praise her. If you want to praise her, you can only let outsiders do it.

really.

Just as the head of the household said, whenever someone said anything bad about her Sanya, not only her mother-in-law, but even Tiger Girl's mother would praise her Sanya every time.

Absolutely! Her Sanya is the most filial daughter imaginable. Her Sanya is so capable and virtuous; she even takes care of things herself so as not to interfere with her son-in-law's studies...

"Second Master has returned to the manor."

What?
While thinking about two things at once, Li seemed to hear Gu Dahua's wife and her in-laws whispering that her third son-in-law had returned. She was somewhat incredulous and a little flustered.

You know, it's almost dark for her Sanya now, oops, it's still early, but where is her Sanya right now? Her husband has already arrived home.

You can't even keep thinking about this person in your heart. Damn it, I was wondering when my third son-in-law would come back this time, and he just came back like this. It would have been better if he had come back later.

The men are all home, but the wife isn't staying home and hasn't shown up yet. What if her husband finds out that Sanya has run off somewhere?
Zhou Banxia had no idea what her mother was thinking again. Seeing that it was getting late, she knew she wouldn't linger outside and had already left the oil press.

As we approached Yuyuan, by sheer coincidence, we could see someone galloping towards us from afar, seemingly charging ahead. Who could that person be?
No one should dare to act recklessly on their own turf. Even if the sky were to fall, guards on urgent missions would not act so rashly.

"young married woman!……"

Zhou Banxia waved to show that she had heard him, and was about to take a few steps forward to greet him when she saw Gu Wenxuan arrive quickly and in the blink of an eye.

"Come up?"

It is my wish, but I dare not ask. If it weren't for her father's repeated strict orders not to do anything reckless before her son-in-law returned, she could have been living a carefree life, riding a horse through the martial world, leaning on her sword and singing songs.

"Where's my son?"

"Why are you back today?"

As soon as Zhou Banxia mounted her horse, she saw Gu Wenxuan turn around to take her for a ride. Before she could even open her mouth, she heard a question from Gu Wenxuan that was different from what she was actually doing.

"Of course your son is at home. Don't worry, I haven't left the village. My mother and sister-in-law are at home looking after him, and the wet nurse and the others are keeping an eye on things. Nothing will go wrong."

Gu Wenxuan already knew that Zhou Banxia left her son in the main courtyard during the day, so he wasn't worried about his son's safety. Otherwise, he would have gone home first before coming out.

His main concern was that his wife would have to travel too far after giving birth. Given the current road conditions, not only would she have suffered a lot, but his son would also have to endure not seeing his mother all day, which was too pitiful.

Since we haven't left the village, the furthest we'll go is to the village west of the river, which is acceptable. But, "Why didn't you let the carriage follow?"

"It's more comfortable to walk just a few steps. The child is still young, and I don't feel at ease if we go too far. I'll only walk to the paper mill and then come back."

I only went to the paper mill twice in total, and then it became inconvenient to go there again because there were too many people working there with their chests and backs exposed.

I'd be worried about their work if I went there, but since Dad's there supervising, it doesn't really matter whether I go or not. I'd rather just wander around here."

very good!

It seems that feudal ethics in this day and age are not all bad. This is why you are taking the initiative to avoid it. Gu Wenxuan was secretly pleased and quickly changed the subject.

Such a sensitive topic could not be discussed any further, so he decisively addressed the question he hadn't had time to bring up yet: why he was able to return safely today.

To make a long story short, before he returned, he had already arranged with Qian Huaizhi to visit him when Qian Huaizhi was not busy with official duties to ask for his advice. Then he mentioned that he planned to start his final systematic review.

Zhou Banxia had no objection to Gu Wenxuan's plan to start his final systematic review before the provincial examination; everyone has their own study plan that suits them best.

If he had followed the usual academic examination process and studied in a conventional manner, he would not have been able to achieve the top three scores in a short period of time. He thought it was enough.

However, "In that case, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to travel back and forth if we moved to the house in the county town first?"

Given your attachment to home, if the children and I don't go to the county town to be with you, you'll inevitably have to travel back and forth frequently.

Gu Wenxuan was well aware of her unspoken meaning. Of course, it was indeed a good idea for the family to move to the county town for a while, but the problem was that the county town was not as convenient as Yuyuan.

Considering that many people would visit him after moving into a house in the county town, he could use the excuse of preparing for the provincial examination to close the door to guests, but what about his wife?
Originally, there were already many invitations from women in the city to come over for a visit. Now that she has finished her postpartum confinement, and given that the county magistrate's wife is also his sister-in-law, will she ever have any peace and quiet once she moves into the city?

Living in the city is different from living in the village. If the Tian and Liao families have a happy occasion and invite you, you can say that it is inconvenient to travel back and forth and send Gu Dachang's family instead. But in the city, you can't avoid showing your face.

"Let me think about it first." With that, Gu Wenxuan pulled on the whip and turned the horse around. One lap was about enough. "It's getting late. I'll take you for a couple more laps tomorrow."

"Okay, that's not a big problem. Besides, we should hear what our parents have to say before we move to the city. It's getting late, dinner is almost ready."
