Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1068 It's a coincidence

As luck would have it, the Ma family had a distinguished guest visiting today. For some reason, Ma Shan's aunt brought her family to visit the Ma family early in the morning.

Upon hearing Mai Huang's report that Ma Shan needed to have dinner at her parents' house before the family of four returned, Zhou Banxia nodded to show that she understood and then gave Mai Huang a few instructions.

To this day, her in-laws have not sent anyone back to inform her. Including her parents, the four of them will definitely not stay out overnight and will come back no matter how late it is.

But Bao Ya, and Xiao He, especially Xiao He, absolutely cannot be allowed to come home from school hungry and wait for his parents to arrive before they can eat.

The only way to prevent him from waiting foolishly at home is to send someone to fetch Xiaohe. Otherwise, what good will eating pastries do? It will only hurt his stomach.

Of course, the maid's family steward would not skip dinner, but the steward also respected the rules and would at most advise, but would not force the young master to eat on time.

Furthermore, as children grow older, even if they are obedient, they have their own opinions. Look, here they come, and even when there are no outsiders present, they still formally bow and greet the children first.

"You've become distant with your third sister?" Zhou Banxia patted Xiaohe's tender shoulder with amusement. "Not bad, you've grown taller again."

Xiaohe was delighted to hear this. It wasn't like they hadn't seen each other for months; they had just met a couple of days ago. How could he have grown taller in just two days? His third sister was just teasing him again.

"Here, your brother wrote a letter. Dad hasn't come home yet. Take a look first." Zhou Banxia knew the little guy was eager to grow up, so she wouldn't stop him from pretending to be a little adult.

To be honest, her younger brother in her previous life was not comparable to her two younger brothers now, and it wasn't a matter of intelligence or emotional intelligence.

It's about character, the character of a great river and a small stream shouldn't be more than 108,000 miles apart. No matter how biased she is, true gold isn't afraid of being tested by fire.

"Third sister, what does it mean when brother says that Zhiming and the others spent a lot of money? Is he reminding you and your husband or something? Where is my brother-in-law?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Gu Wenxuan came out carrying his son, arriving at the perfect moment to overhear. "What do you want? What did you learn in class today?"

“There are many, and some parts I only half understand. Brother-in-law, I’ve written them down and put them in my notebook.” Xiaohe said, standing on tiptoe and craning her neck to clap her hands at her nephew.

“You can’t carry him.” Gu Wenxuan said, but he still put his son in his brother-in-law’s arms and wouldn’t let go. “The problem still lies in the interpretation of the classics?”

"Indeed, my great-grandfather and uncle think too highly of me. I haven't even mastered the Four Books yet, and today they gave me a question on the classics. I did the question, but I don't know how well I answered it."

My great-grandfather and uncle said I wrote well, but it seemed like they thought I was too young and shouldn't be given more praise for what I'd written.

Finished.

He's becoming more and more like a bookworm.

Zhou Banxia noticed that when the two brothers-in-law, one big and one small, started talking about their studies, her well-behaved and sensible younger brother even forgot about her, his third sister.

She had originally wanted to talk to Xiaohe about what Dajiang meant by mentioning Zhiming and the others in his letter, but seeing this, she thought it would be better to let her husband explain it to Xiaohe.

To be fair, her brother-in-law is indeed a very good one. No wonder Xiaohe and Dajiang both like to ask him for advice on everything.

And so, once they started chatting, it never stopped. They had just finished discussing academic issues and decided to wait until after dinner to go back to the study to talk about it again, but then they brought up the old topic again, mentioning Zhiming.

"...What your brother means is that Zhiming and the others have spent a lot of money and have almost finished their business. He asked your third sister and me if we wanted them to come back. If we're not in a hurry for Zhiming and the others to come back, your brother is worried that the silver notes they brought won't be enough, so he reminded your third sister and me."

Look at the back, didn't your brother write again that he doesn't need to worry about being short of money? He's just undecided about whether to give the banknotes he has to Zhiming.

Xiaohe listened and nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice. "I understand, brother-in-law. My brother wants to give the silver notes he has to Zhiming, but he's worried that it might cause trouble for you and Third Sister."

Absolutely right!
That's exactly what I mean!
Gu Wenxuan affectionately rubbed his brother-in-law's head. "Also, did you see your brother mention again that your junior sister really liked the gifts your third sister prepared?"

This means that your third sister sent Zhiming and the others there, and if anything happens, they can ask Junior Uncle for help. Junior Aunt won't stop them.

Think about it again. Leaving aside your junior sister-in-law and the others, why did even Aunt Zhou over there keep sending your brother things after he arrived for half a month?

"Uncle is over there—" Xiaohe immediately covered her mouth with her hand as soon as she said it. She was wrong. Her third brother-in-law said that her brother delivered it half a month after he arrived!

"It was my third sister. It was my third sister who returned the gift and made sure they didn't suffer any loss. They were originally thinking that my eldest uncle might not really like my third sister from the bottom of his heart."

When my brother arrived, my eldest uncle from the other side also arrived home. Half a month later, they finally found out what kind of return gift my third sister gave to my eldest uncle from the other side.

Then, they all tried to befriend my third sister, but she wasn't there, so they all went to my brother to try and get close to her.

"..." That doesn't seem wrong, Gu Wenxuan nodded with a smile, and stood up while holding his babbling son. "That's pretty much the idea."

The key is that your third sister is very good at interpersonal relationships. She never lets the other party suffer a loss when it comes to favors. Of course, let's not talk about what excuse the other party will use to return the favor with generous gifts.

Many things, no matter how good the rumors sound, still don't work. Your third sister, however, used her honest, uncompromising attitude to build a good reputation for us.

Zhou Banxia silently took her son, who said he knew nothing, that it was getting dark, and that he wasn't hungry.
Gu Wenxuan raised his chin towards Zhou Banxia, ​​"Your third sister is shy, sorry. Your third sister is good in every way, except for this one thing."

Don't be shy or anything. If she weren't good, would your uncle even care about having her as his niece? You should learn from your third sister's strengths, but don't try to emulate this one.

"Miss (Gu Baoya) hasn't arrived yet?" Zhou Banxia carried her son and walked towards the hall door. Before she even got close, Maixiang was already lifting the curtain.

In the blink of an eye, a bright and spirited little girl emerged from the front yard through the passageway, just as the curtain was lifted. "You're here! Let's eat!"

Mai Xiang couldn't wait for dinner to start. Upon hearing the order, she smiled happily, quickly bowed, stepped back, and hurried towards the kitchen.

Zhou Banxia: This silly girl, why did she have to make the trip herself? Wasn't there a maid running errands for her?

"Second Sister-in-law—"

"Hey, I heard you. Are you starving? Teacher, get out of class is over? Is it tiring? How about we reschedule? Let's skip class after 3 PM?"

Gu Baoya hurriedly shook her head, lifted her skirt, and walked closer, "Many wealthy families would like to pay a lot of money to hire such a good female tutor but they can't. Only you, Second Sister-in-law, are so kind to me."

"Our mother wasn't home today, so I stayed a little longer when I escorted Mr. Lu Xun back to his courtyard. I only came out after he had started eating. I'm hungry, Second Sister-in-law."
