Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1105 The Flower Hall Not Far Away

Amidst their laughter and conversation, Zhou Banxia saw Ma Shan emerge from the flower hall not far ahead. Without descending the steps, she turned and hurriedly walked to the right from the corridor.

It doesn't look like they're looking for her. What's wrong? There were no screams or panicked noises coming from inside. It looks like she's been burned by fire.
Going to the toilet?

Stomach upset?
"Greetings, Second Master and Second Madam."

Given Ma Shan's rapid pace, the presence of guests in the flower hall, and the need for maids to greet her, Zhou Banxia had no choice but to suppress her questions for the time being.

However, after Gu Wenxuan "escorted" her here and finally left with peace of mind, before she could even step into the flower hall, the answer was immediately revealed.

Just now, I accidentally wet my dress with urine from the little one in my arms, so I rushed to the east courtyard to change.

As for why he didn't just change in the east wing of the main courtyard, he must have been too busy and forgot to prepare a set of clothes for going out and put them in the east wing.

"Sanya?"

"Is that Sanya outside?"

"Yes, yes, Mother, it's me, I'm coming right now."

Just as Zhou Banxia instructed Mai Dong to send a maid to Ma Shan in the east courtyard to let her know that she had arrived and to tell Ma Shan to take her time, she heard a call coming from inside.

Just then, the two women who had spoken were her mothers. She called out "Mother!" and both women responded loudly. In fact, one of them even ran out.

Have you seen the son-in-law?

Seeing that she almost bumped into her mother at the door, Zhou Banxia quickly grabbed her and smiled, "Yes, yes, I did see your third son-in-law."

Li laughed heartily, "It's good to see her. Da Hua's family said that Hu Niu got up early this morning to accompany your mother-in-law. Hurry up and go inside to call your mother and greet the elders first."

Who said her own mother wasn't cunning? She was laughing and whispering, giving a very thoughtful reminder, "Okay. You go ahead. When did you arrive? Why didn't anyone tell me you were here?"

"I just arrived. Even your mother-in-law wanted to send someone to tell you and your husband that I had arrived, but I stopped her. The most important thing is for your son-in-law to go to the county school."

"Hurry up, your mother-in-law is holding Yuan-ge'er right now." As Li Shi spoke, she gestured with her chin toward the screen blocking the way, put her hand on her arm, shook her head, and pouted.

Understand!
Behind the screen, my mother-in-law is holding one grandson after another, making sure not to miss any of them. Now she can barely lift her arms.

I need to hurry around the screen and go inside to say hello and save my mother-in-law, lest she hold Yuan Ge'er for too long and Aunt Ma gets jealous again.

You old sisters are really putting on quite a show! My goodness, how could you look down on Aunt Ma? Don't you also want your mother-in-law to hold your grandson more?
My mother-in-law is so lucky to have in-laws like you.

Zhou Banxia was secretly pleased and nodded hurriedly to show that she understood. She then followed Li Shi, whose pace had obviously quickened, and smiled as she walked behind her around the screen.

really.

The room was full of elders.

The number of attendees far exceeded that of the day Da Niu got married.

Perhaps it's the right time of year for older people to visit relatives, or perhaps the elderly folks who consider an elder a treasure want to personally ascertain the extent of their father-in-law's determination by taking advantage of Gu Yangwen's daughter's marriage.

After all, everyone had witnessed her father-in-law's "deep love" for her elder brother, and most people probably still wouldn't believe that her father-in-law was truly heartbroken and that there would never be a day when "old feelings rekindled".

Those of lower seniority present, such as her mother-in-law and Aunt Ma, couldn't get chairs and had to sit on round stools; there were at least a dozen or twenty of them.

But these dozen or twenty people were all heads of their respective households, plus the old ladies and young ladies present—it was as if everyone who could make decisions at home was here. Luckily, the main hall of the courtyard was large enough to accommodate so many spare round stools; otherwise, even someone of my mother-in-law's generation wouldn't have gotten a seat. No wonder my third aunt and the others left so early.

She went on and on, calling out to her great-grandmother, great-aunt, great-aunt, and then to her cousins, aunts, and other aunts and uncles.

With so many elders, each with a number in their name, Zhou Banxia had to secretly be thankful that her memory was decent and that she had memorized the names of the elders she had met before, otherwise she would have been completely bewildered.

Of course, if you address someone without using numbers before their name, but simply use a general term, and your attitude is respectful, the elders won't blame you for not knowing numbers, since you don't see each other often.

but!

When a junior calls out a name correctly and doesn't call out the wrong name, and can even mention how long it's been since they last saw each other and how much they miss each other, the reward is naturally immense.

Sure enough, after going through all the titles, her status immediately jumped from "the wife of Liu Lang's son, the little Liu Lang's wife" to "our child".

Having appeased these lovely old ladies and little old women, Zhou Banxia was overjoyed. She could even sit on a round stool, though it wasn't a fixed one.

Hey!

Zhou Banxia could find a spot on any of the round stools in the room, as long as they were next to the chairs of the elderly or young women. She was so engrossed in that she couldn't help but sit down.

Sure enough, no matter which generation she's in, she's always been popular with older people.

It is said that people who are popular with the elderly are blessed throughout their lives. If they suffered natural disasters or accidents in their past lives, that doesn't count, and they will definitely have a smooth life in this life.

After chatting with the elders for a while, Ma Shan returned to the east courtyard to change clothes, smiling broadly.

The two sisters-in-law worked together very well, one going in and the other going out, never leaving the mother-in-law alone, so that she would not have any daughters-in-law by her side.

Aunt Ma felt like she had raised her daughter for nothing. As for Li Shi standing to the side?

Her understanding wasn't as profound, but her reaction was quick. Seeing her daughter leave with her grandson, she happily followed.

After leaving the main hall, she endured it all until she finally entered the west wing. Before the maids and wet nurses could leave, she burst out laughing.

Zhou Banxia heard her mother's very seductive laughter, which made her laugh along with her mother, even though she didn't know why she suddenly burst into laughter.

A moment.

Take it easy.

"Do you know what color dress Tiger Girl wore before you came here—" As Li was speaking, she saw her beloved grandson grinning, and she couldn't help but laugh again.

This little rascal, no wonder she was born to her third daughter and her third son-in-law, she's so clever, acting like she understands everything, staring at whoever is talking and laughing to herself.

Back then? Zhou Banxia recalled that when Ma Shan left the flower hall, she was wearing a light blue embroidered silk robe and a grass-green silk skirt.

The color scheme is very nice and suitable for wearing when going out to visit someone in late spring or early summer. There's nothing wrong with it, so what's so funny?
Fortunately, her mother rarely kept things a secret. "Your Aunt Ma probably thought Tiger Girl wasn't dressed festively enough, so she insisted that her grandson dress her up as her daughter."

It turned out to be the case.

That outfit wasn't as festive as the crescent moon and red color scheme that Ma Shan had just changed into, but the previous one was also nice and more pleasing to the eye.

It's not surprising that Aunt Ma had this idea; elders often have this mindset, and there's bound to be a generation gap between their thoughts and perspectives and those of younger people.

“My daughter looks festive in anything she wears. Look how well your mother gave birth to you. You're still so beautiful after having a baby. People would believe you're not married yet.”
