Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

As she walked and looked around, Zhou Banxia subconsciously compared the layout of the blueprints that Gu Wenxuan had provided her with with the actual situation on the ground.

Whenever she arrives in an unfamiliar place, she makes it a habit to first learn about the geographical location and the distribution of surrounding buildings, especially after experiencing a natural disaster.

She observes and remembers everything, from major roads to minor alleys, even the location of manhole covers.

The old problem came with me.

"how?"

"You get what you pay for. Putting aside the layout of the front courtyard, the artificial hill alone, no, the craftsmanship of this garden landscape, is something that Yuyuan Garden can't compare to."

Gu Wenxuan nodded in agreement, but would he admit defeat? No, "This place has been repaired and expanded by several owners. How long has it been since Yuyuan was built?"

"We don't need to wait for our great-grandson to expand it; we can wait until our grandson grows up. After all, Yuyuan is our true root. Even without three generations, Yuyuan will never be inferior to this place."

You're thinking really far ahead.

How old is your son?
They've even got grandchildren and great-grandchildren now!

Zhou Banxia chuckled, “Being your son must be so stressful. He’s only a few months old, and you, as his father, are already planning for him to have children.”

Gu Wenxuan didn't realize it when he said it, but after hearing her say it, he realized it and immediately laughed, "Don't say that, in this respect, I'm not as good as Dad."

If it were his father, he would never care about his grandchildren or great-grandchildren, let alone that they would surpass him. He always said that people should be content and cherish their blessings.

As for me, it hasn't been that long, and without realizing it, I've stopped simply wishing for my son's peaceful and smooth life; instead, I want him to surpass me.

“That’s normal.” Zhou Banxia shook his head and smiled. “A peaceful and smooth life is based on having power and influence. Otherwise, what would be the point of class distinctions?”

"That's what I say, but ultimately my mindset is different. Before the child came, I just wanted to have a healthy child and that would be an immense honor."

Once you get pregnant, to be honest, I'll not only be concerned about the baby's health, but I'll also inevitably want to make the baby smarter through prenatal education.

Now, it's even more incredible. Our son seems to react much faster than other kids, and my expectations are even higher now.

Zhou Banxia smiled without saying a word and glanced at him, not worried at all, silently thinking that he could be bold and remove the word "seems".

She said that her husband, ever since the day their child was born, has often treated their son as a genius.

"It seems I need to change this, otherwise I'll be putting pressure on my son without even realizing it. Luckily, he's still young. Remember to remind me if I go too far in the future."

Zhou Banxia immediately nodded in agreement.

"Good wife! That's why they say a virtuous wife brings less trouble to her husband. Have you noticed that no matter what I do, I need your support to achieve good results?"
It's always been like this. If you hadn't supported me hanging out with the senior students, how would I have gotten my initial investment and started my fortune? Saying you're lucky for me is no exaggeration at all..."

She's putting honey on her lips again!

Zhou Banxia stopped, amused, and listened intently.

"...You are like this artificial mountain. With you protecting it, as long as I know that no one can pry this artificial mountain away from me, I become bolder in everything I do."

Because I know anyone can betray me, anyone can sell me out, anyone can trample on me, but you will never. Even if I'm inferior and ultimately suffer a crushing defeat, I'll still have you behind me. You'll definitely take me in. I have nothing to fear; I'd rather rise again.

“That’s right, that’s how I spoiled you. I treated you like a brother, but you were determined not to agree.” As she spoke, Zhou Banxia couldn’t help but glare at her.

Gu Wenxuan burst out laughing, dumbfounded. "Even the closest brothers have a saying: 'Even close brothers should keep clear accounts.' How can that compare to winning the heart of a beauty?"

"I'll take everything, pot and pan, you'll all be mine, and no one else can have a chance with you. That's true winning every time, understand?"

“I don’t really understand. I only remember someone saying something like, ‘What’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is still yours.’ And he actually did it.”

“That’s right. A man’s word is his bond. If I dare to say something, I’ll definitely do it.” Gu Wenxuan proudly raised his chin. “Shall we go over there first?”

As they spoke, the artificial hill was already quite close behind them, but the blooming peach blossoms were still everywhere, and the rich fragrance of peach blossoms lingered in their breath for a long time.

Zhou Banxia looked in the direction Gu Wenxuan was pointing, and unsurprisingly, all she could see was a peach grove. "Is it separated by another peach grove?"

"The enemy."

Further ahead, you'll find the fork between the main courtyard and the guest courtyard, separated by peach groves and bluestone paths of varying density and openness.

"This is insane. I thought the elm trees in Gujiazhuang were plentiful, but compared to the peach trees here, it's nothing." Zhou Banxia shook her head in amazement.

"That's right. Logically speaking, peaches, apricots, and plums belong to the same family, right? At the very least, peaches and apricots are related. Where there are peaches, there must be apricots. But Peach Village doesn't have a single apricot tree."

According to statistics, only a few dozen pomegranate trees and some jujube trees were mixed in with the fruit trees in the entire Taozhuang village; other than that, there were no other fruit trees at all.

It truly lives up to its name, Peach Village. How ridiculous! Are pomegranate and jujube trees blacklisted because they have negative connotations?
"This is also the reason why the peaches here are the most expensive and popular, since many of the orchards in the surrounding three counties have peach orchards."

One is its uniqueness; there are many varieties of peaches, almost every type of peach from the north can be found here, and the early and late peaches taste excellent.

Secondly, the scenery here isn't just limited to the peach blossoms blooming at this time of year; the streams at the foot of the mountain and the springs on the mountain are also a unique sight.

Hearing this, Zhou Banxia understood why Gu Wenxuan asked her if she wanted to go to the direction of the guest house first; the so-called stream at the foot of the mountain was in that direction.

Amused, she quickly grabbed Gu Wenxuan and said, "Let's not go to the guest quarters for now."

Although Mai Dong and her husband are certainly not as fast as riding horses in a carriage, how slow can they be? At the current leisurely pace, they should be arriving at the main courtyard soon.

Besides, there's no need to wait for Mai Dong and the others to arrive at the main courtyard and make arrangements; the head of the estate will have already given instructions to clean it up in preparation for the arrival of the host family.

After all, the current head of the manor is not the same person who used to manage Peach Manor and made a fortune. The newly appointed head of the manor always has to make a good impression first.

Furthermore, the newly built wooden houses and thatched huts, although located in the direction of the guest courtyard, are actually much further away, almost on the hillside and halfway up the mountain.

Going around in circles is too troublesome. It's better to keep going forward, enter the main courtyard, and then go into the mountains from the back of the main courtyard to reach Taoyuanju. From there, you can also overlook the entire Taozhuang.

To be honest, compared to the newly built wooden cabin and thatched hut, or the so-called mountain stream, "I still want to go and see Peach Blossom Spring first." (End of Chapter)
