Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1085 This is possible

That's a good idea. Gu Wenxuan never mentioned that someone had been secretly practicing yoga since finishing her postpartum confinement, and even the treadmill couldn't do anything about it.

Why not spend more time together? No, the morning air is really nice, and it gives her a legitimate reason to use her fists and kicks.

wonderful!
good idea!
"It just so happens that you can now practice your swordsmanship openly. Once you've mastered it, you can challenge your sister-in-law to a duel."

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Things will only seem abrupt if they happen naturally. Otherwise, if you don't control yourself properly one day, you'll be in big trouble.

Zhou Banxia quickly gave Gu Wenxuan an approving look, then continued to scan her surroundings while walking, and whispered with a smile, "Sister-in-law is no match for me."

Wow, so confident!
"I noticed she lacked power in her punches several times, which might be related to the fact that she hasn't gone hunting in the mountains for a long time. She wasn't exactly out of breath, but her punches were weak."

His advantage lies in his speed, quick reaction, and stable lower body, making him a watchable opponent, unlike Big Tiger, who is truly ruthless and decisive in his attacks.

That's right!
Gu Wenxuan nodded in agreement.

"The reason why Brother Da Hu was able to get a job in the county government was not only because of our influence, but more importantly because he was the one who inherited the martial arts mantle of the Ma family."

Besides being the eldest son, he's said to be the most talented, far surpassing his brothers like Erhu. As for the rest, his sister-in-law is, after all, a daughter, a daughter about to be married.

Don't be fooled by how much Grandpa Ma loves his daughter; he would never let her take his family's secret martial arts techniques, passed down only to sons, to her husband's family.

Even if his sister-in-law were to marry and only teach Changsuo, he would never agree to it. Unless she had no children, there was still the possibility of passing the child down within the family but not outside.

Of course, if Grandpa Ma really had no sons, he would have found a son-in-law for his daughter long ago, which would be a different story. So it's normal for Grandpa Ma to train his sister-in-law at such a fast pace.

Their actual combat almost always involves hunting deep in the mountains. If they're not fast enough, and they encounter a wild beast, the situation will be dire; they won't even be able to escape, right?

Zhou Banxia nodded with amusement, not wanting to continue the conversation on this topic. Someone had already come out to greet them with a lantern. "It's Gu Dachang's family."

“It’s definitely our two fathers and Uncle Changqing.” Gu Wenxuan also saw who was leading people out to greet us. “They came to report that we’ve returned.”

What's the cause and effect of this? Your father must have had something to say to the head steward before he left. It's normal for Uncle Changqing to be there. Why would she need to report this now?
Don't say it!

It’s evil!
You guessed right!
Zhou Banxia didn't have time to think too much. After listening to what Gu Dachang's wife said, she nodded to show that she understood and told Gu Dachang's wife to just go about her business.

The west wing of the main building in the west courtyard.

The child is still sleeping.

They said the young master woke up half an hour ago to change his diaper, and before he could be put down properly after being fed, he immediately fell asleep again.

Very normal.

Which child this age doesn't just eat and sleep, sleep and eat? Only the child's father, who always goes to sleep after dark, deeply feels that his son is different from others.

"...It's not that I'm bragging about how good my son is, but let's not talk about anything else, just look at Suocheng, who's not much older than our son. When he was this age?"

It's so heartbreaking.

Not content with feeling that her son is different, she even used her own nephew as an example. Is this how an uncle should act? Does she expect me, as her aunt, to be on the same boat as her? "I remember several times when Suocheng didn't sleep at night and slept during the day, his days and nights were reversed. Wasn't it you who said that Suocheng shouldn't sleep during the day?"

I think I'll stick with my mom!
Mai Dong was too naive; she was scared away by just one glance from her man. Otherwise, what a great opportunity she would have had to witness the two-faced nature of their second master.

“Even now, just two days ago, I heard my older brother say that Xiao Suocheng doesn’t close his eyes during the day and doesn’t go to bed until it gets dark.”

How normal!
Children develop their own thoughts as they grow up.

If you adults don't sit with the children on the kang (a heated brick bed) to lull them to sleep, how can the children not be afraid that the adults will run away? Anyway, it's not like they're asleep and no one will hold them if they don't sit on the kang.

"It's the same. Our child is still young. Even if he has a wet nurse to accompany him when he gets older, he will still come to us. It's only these few months that he is easy to coax."

That's true. No matter how precocious a child is, he's still a child. In a child's heart, no one can replace their parents, not even their grandfather who loves them dearly.

Gu Wenxuan recalled his dependence on his parents since he was a child. Even after his parents passed away, it was still different with his grandfather.

Even now, no one can replace one's parents. His son, naturally, is the same as him: "It's alright, I'm happy to coax my own son."

I was asking whether someone is willing to pamper their own child. Zhou Banxia shook her head with amusement, pointed to the bed curtains, and gestured for Gu Wenxuan to lower the outer layer of the bed curtains.

Besides, her husband knows how to enjoy life. He likes to order around servants whenever he can avoid lifting a finger. However, when they are together indoors, the maids can't stand for more than a moment.

If only they hadn't been in such a hurry to dismiss Mai Dong and the maid, they could have simply taken off their shoes and gotten on the kang (heated brick bed). They would have even turned off the outer bed curtains and left the lamp on before leaving.

Oh right, it's getting hotter and hotter, so it's time to change the bed curtains for the season. "I forgot if I ordered the curtains in both the village and the city to be changed."

Gu Wenxuan was taken aback upon hearing this, and for a moment he almost couldn't understand what his wife meant. "Do I need your instructions? What use is the steward?"
Lie down quickly. I'll turn off the lamp and get on the kang (heated brick bed). Lie a little further inside so I can have some space. You don't need to tell me; Mom won't forget.

Leaving aside the houses in the city, even the courtyard in the village—although we rarely go there, our parents still go there often—must have been replaced long ago.

And then there's my sister-in-law. That courtyard in the village will practically be hers from now on. She's even more invested in it than we are. I heard my brother say during the day that she asked him when construction would start there.

Speaking of this, Zhou Banxia had to say a few words on behalf of Ma Shan, "My sister-in-law also asked me about it. It's not that she thinks that the courtyard is practically hers."

She was just worried that her parents weren't financially well-off, so I didn't discuss with her the idea of ​​using my own money to expand the facilities.

Isn't that the same principle?
If you pay too much, how can she have the nerve to keep it all?
She wanted to follow the family tradition of the eldest son inheriting the old house, but her eldest brother would not agree. So she first inquired about when construction would start and how the expansion would be carried out.

Of course, he doesn't deny that he tends to think the worst of people, but who is his sister-in-law's biological mother?
His sister-in-law didn't have that intention; Aunt Ma would always help her daughter fight for profit.

Seeing that the couple was unstoppable, even managing to get close to her Ma family, earning money and getting jobs in the county government, Ma's mother didn't want to offend them.

Otherwise, with only his wife's dowry when she first entered the family, and given that he couldn't pass the imperial examination, would Aunt Ma be wary of the couple as if they were thieves to protect her daughter?

The dowry her daughter had was only brought out after her wife entered the family, and everyone who saw it couldn't understand its meaning.

"It's possible that your sister-in-law could come up with some money, just as you said, but Aunt Ma might not."
