Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1101 There's nothing necessary or unnecessary.
There's no question of whether it's necessary or not. Since we've already promised the old lady and given her a gift, and it's not far, we should still go to the old house.

Zhou Banxia knew what Gu Wenxuan was worried about: he was worried that his son would be taken to the old people's home, and he was also worried that if his son stayed at home, she wouldn't be able to come back soon.

The question is, how is that possible?

No matter how many relatives and friends gather at the old courtyard today, it's not the same as marrying off a daughter. Once the bride is carried away on the flower bridge, everyone disperses.

At most, we'll stay until then. Besides, Aunt Lan and Gu Dachang's family arranged the shifts well in advance for this day. No one will be wronged, but your son will be wronged.

"Alright, you can go into the city now. This is my child, my child, understand?" Zhou Banxia chuckled and patted Gu Wenxuan's arm, who was holding the child, to indicate that he could leave.

Gu Wenxuan knew he was talking nonsense. Even if he was impatient with taking care of the child, he still cared about the child he had carried for ten months, not to mention how good-looking his son was.

This is by no means an exaggeration.

His son, Yuan, is so handsome.

Pink and tender, chubby and fair, and always smiling.

When the little one smiles, her big eyes curve into crescents, sparkling with intelligence, and she makes lively, babbling sounds, brimming with charm.

Anyone who sees it will be completely captivated.

He's practically my dream guy!

"Good son, come on, Daddy will take you outside." Gu Wenxuan said, gesturing with his chin toward Zhou Banxia, ​​"Follow me, the mother who gave birth to Yuan Ge'er."

You're not losing out at all!
Zhou Banxia chuckled, "Is Zhi'an still able to keep up with Jiaxing? Should we take Jiaxing with us when we go into town today?"

"Yes, I need to go to the county school today, and Jiaxing also needs to go to the county government office to find Senior Brother Qian. Zhi'an is alright, but he hasn't been with me for very long."

That means you have the ability, but you haven't met many people yet, and you still need to practice more.

This is normal.

After all, unlike Zhiming and Jiaxing who are by your side, they have met many people outside and naturally developed their skills.

"Of the three new people transferred to my side, Zhi'an is the most suitable candidate to replace Zhiming. As for the remaining two who are younger, Jiaxing will have to make the decision for now."

Zhou Banxia had no objection to this.

Whether it's being chosen by her Uncle Changqing to be her servant or a page, the candidate wouldn't be too bad.

Furthermore, Zhiming will definitely come back, especially since he has Gu Dahua above him.

No rush. As long as the replacement doesn't betray the master, we can train them slowly.

The reason for selecting two younger children was partly to better prepare for choosing future close confidants and attendants for the children.

No one can keep their children under their watchful eye forever. It's not uncommon for servants to become powerful and bully their masters. Only trusted confidants from one's own inner circle are easier to control.

"You can now appropriately reassign the positions of their parents or family members. Don't rush to assign them to manage their households, not even junior ones."

"Understood." Upon exiting the inner room, not only the head maid but also the wet nurse were waiting outside. Zhou Banxia responded decisively, "I will arrange everything properly."

For example, in the case of Zhi'an's family, her mother could be reassigned to a position in the inner quarters first, and then the next step could be decided after Mai Huang's mother has met with her.

How simple.

“I know all this even if you don’t tell me. Oh, right, I almost forgot something. When you see Magistrate Cheng today, please remember to thank his wife for me.”

Gu Wenxuan trusted Zhou Banxia to make the arrangements, and knew that some things were not suitable for discussion at this time. However, he did not expect her to suddenly mention Madam Cheng. What was there to be ashamed of? Even if the servants heard it, so what? Why should you, as the master, force a conversation to change the subject?

"Remember to make one point clear: I originally wanted to visit you in person to express my gratitude, but my child is not even 100 days old yet, so it's really inconvenient for me to go into the city."

Then I chatted with Magistrate Cheng about how several ladies in the city had invited me, and how it wouldn't be appropriate for me to miss any of them once I went to his residence.

The Cheng couple naturally understood why I didn't personally visit to express my gratitude. It's never wrong to be polite, and it would make people think that my wife and I were ungrateful.

Magistrate Cheng values ​​you highly. As for Madam Cheng, it's hard to say. I haven't had much contact with her. Besides, as she gets older, she'll want to be respected more.

She only sent the fabric because I sent her the honey and other skincare products, and she felt that I was showing respect to her as an elder.

Either I have no contact with her at all, or it's my mother and your mother who have the most contact with her. Who would be the elder to suddenly send someone to deliver clothing to a junior they have no contact with?

Having been the wife of a county magistrate, she couldn't possibly be unaware of who my master was. Even if she were a junior member of a close family, the gift she gave was far too casual.

Look at the Zhao family, they have quite a connection with our father, right? Once my master's identity is exposed, the fourth branch of the Zhao family will immediately raise their social status several levels.

Sometimes it's just that realistic. If you're from a different social class, or unless you're a close relative, you shouldn't give gifts as a favor, otherwise you'll incur the resentment of the person receiving the gift.

This is one of the reasons why I wanted you to thank Magistrate Cheng on my behalf when we met today. Your words mean that I didn't take it seriously at all.

Otherwise, I still have my cousin-in-law in the city. If she finds out, she'll definitely think Madam Cheng humiliated me, and it would be awkward if her stewardess were to point it out.”

so serious?

Gu Wenxuan admitted that he hadn't really thought much about it.

This explains why Uncle Qing seemingly unintentionally pointed out a few days ago that the Cheng County Magistrate's family was destined for a bad official career.

He actually misunderstood that Uncle Changqing was standing up for Uncle Cheng and his son, so even Uncle Changqing felt that Madam Cheng had disrespected his daughter in this matter?
Don't tell me, it's really possible.

His wife was highly regarded by Uncle Changqing and Aunt Lan; her status was only on par with that of the Crown Princess and the Eldest Princess.

The couple understood this, though they didn't say it aloud. No matter how well they disguised it, it was still evident in their personnel arrangements.

Whether it was a will from the Lady of Fu'an County or an arrangement by her husband, placing the couple next to his wife was indeed a good choice, matching her personality.

His wife still hasn't clearly realized that she represents far more than just the face of her master and uncle.

There are so many different versions of the story about Madam Cheng sending someone to deliver the fabric. He can now be certain that it wasn't his wife who came up with the idea first, but rather that a wise person had given him guidance.

This remarkable person could only be Aunt Lan.

That's why his wife suddenly mentioned last night that he should remember to thank Magistrate Cheng on her behalf when he sees him.

It's highly likely that Uncle Changqing noticed he didn't understand a few days ago, so Aunt Lan took over. Then his wife thought and thought until she was almost asleep last night, which led to this solution.

He said he couldn't gain weight, and it turns out he was just overthinking it.

Why didn't you just tell me what you were capable of? In the end, you still had to be honest and confess.

What are you looking at?

"You look even more beautiful."

"Come on, I'm naturally beautiful and can't hide it. Listen to your son getting anxious, his speech is getting faster and faster. If you don't go out soon, your son is going to give you a lecture."
