Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1113 What's the Point?

Today is another beautiful day with clear skies. Even though it's not yet late afternoon, the sun is shining brightly but it's not hot, just as you, my little dumpling, wished.

Zhou Banxia patted the little bottom of the energetic child in her arms, warned him not to move around, and then stopped rushing to take the shortcut back to the west courtyard.

From the back garden on the main courtyard side, I walked along, introducing the flowers, trees, rockeries, and pavilions to the child in my arms, and also took the opportunity to watch and appreciate the birds.

She didn't even know what some of the birds flying in the sky or perched in the trees were called, but she was grateful to her husband for finding the parrots and mynas.

Perhaps because she was walking slowly, and because the child couldn't stay quietly in her arms the whole time, by the time they reached the small garden behind the west courtyard, her arms were almost worn out from her chubby little boy.

Considering Zhou Banxia's current physical strength, her power level is truly outstanding. She can easily lift a hundred pounds, and she almost couldn't even carry a mere baby.

What a sturdy little dumpling!

Of course, these words could not be said aloud.

Putting aside the fact that if the child's father finds out, he might say she doesn't love her son and that she's being treated like a stepmother, there are too many taboos when raising a child.

You can't praise someone for being handsome, you can't praise someone for being fat, you can't even say that they eat or sleep well, or anyone who says it will suffer. The child's maternal grandmother was annoyed by this before. Her old friend said that her grandson was easy to take care of.

Just like today, it was because of a careless remark from my old friend that your son-in-law should have apologized to the Gu family before he went to the city today.

The child's maternal grandmother had previously said that her old friends were comparing her son-in-law to her son-in-law, but really, it all boiled down to her being upset about the so-called "right to".

What does it mean to be obligatory?
In the eyes of the child's maternal grandmother, her third son-in-law was a remarkable person. The fact that he didn't hold a grudge and even came to congratulate her in person the day before yesterday was enough to give the eldest branch of the family face.

The county school exams are starting today. Wouldn't that ruin her third son-in-law's future? And she still wants him to condescend to visit their Gu family's old house.

This "reasonableness" will inevitably lead the child's maternal grandmother to mistakenly believe that her old friend is deliberately trying to annoy her because she can't see her. This is nothing in itself, but it will ruin the reputation of her third son-in-law.

The last point is the key to what angered the child's maternal grandmother. It's the same thing my old friend said before, that her grandson was born and ate someone else's milk, and that her daughter didn't have to take care of the child and that was so much easier.

The child's maternal grandmother was annoyed that her old friend said it didn't matter whether her grandson had her daughter as a mother or not, her grandson was still well-fed and healthy, and ate and slept well.

She didn't realize it at the time, but after the person left, she felt increasingly uneasy. No matter how she tried to persuade her, it was no use. Two or three days later, she took the opportunity to make a fuss, just like today.

Just like a child.

They argue, then it's over; they argue again, I don't know what they're trying to achieve.

It doesn't matter whether they won or not, let alone hold a grudge. It seems that they feel relieved both verbally and mentally.

It's truly incomprehensible. Many times, after venting, you may feel relieved, but aren't you also offending people?

My child, you mustn't learn this from your grandmother. You'd better inherit your father's less-than-honest genes.

Just like before, it's obvious without even thinking that no matter how hearty your Grandma Ma's laughter was, she would get angry when your maternal grandmother bluntly confronted her and even compared your father and your uncle.

You can't be like your grandmother, so naive and guileless. You should learn from your father, who is thick-skinned and ruthless, never taking action lightly, but when he does, he eliminates all future troubles. This is the best way to protect yourself and avoid making countless enemies.

"...Your grandmother's way of speaking makes it easy for her to hurt others with her words, and even those who are listening in feel uncomfortable. In severe cases, it can cause people around her to dislike and reject her. It's not a smart thing to do, do you understand?"

Ahead was the main courtyard of the west wing, just a short walk through a corridor. Seeing that the child showed no signs of drowsiness, Zhou Banxia decided to take the child and sit in the nearby pavilion for a while, so that her arms could rest.

As they sat there, they noticed that only they and their son were in the pavilion. Even Mai Xiang, who had just served tea and snacks, had left and kept a distance from them. She must still be deeply influenced by her husband, as she was teaching him whatever came to mind.

Interestingly, her son Yuan seemed to understand, and just like his father, he was good at playing the straight man.

She would say a sentence and then pause. When she was speaking, her son Yuan would look at her with his big, dark eyes and remain silent. But as soon as she stopped, her son Yuan would not just say "ah ah ah" but would also babble back.

It won't be restless and want to turn its head, nor will it be waving its arms and legs as if it wants to do something.

If your father and mother hadn't repeatedly confirmed that you weren't some strange child from another time, given your small size, your performance would have been more than enough to justify your father's constant praise of your precocious intelligence.

"Okay, Mommy understands. Regardless of whether our Yuan-ge'er understands why Mommy doesn't let you learn anything from your maternal grandmother, our Yuan-ge'er will still be most like your father, right?"

"……&&……"

Got it!
I've praised you for nothing.

I want to carry you around again, like a mother.

"You naughty kid!" As soon as he stood up, he was laughing so hard that he drooled. Zhou Banxia was both amused and exasperated, and used one hand to wipe the corner of her son's mouth. "You like to move around so much. Who do you think you are like again?"

"Mother? No, Mother loves to stay inside and doesn't go anywhere. Your father, on the other hand, always wants to go out."

Gu Wenxuan was unaware that his good wife had a huge burden on him to bear.

At this moment, with his outstanding performance, he once again undoubtedly topped the red list of the archery and horsemanship assessment competition held by the county school today.

He is skilled in both literary and martial arts, and has received widespread praise.

Want to go?

how is this possible.

Gu Wenxuan was very envious of Qian Huaizhi, who only needed to save face and say a few polite words to leave early today. Unlike him, who couldn't leave even after the red list was posted.

Even though he could finally escape from the county school, the county magistrate still had orders for him to go to the county government office before returning to his village. He wasn't even spared after the court session and was required to go directly to the county government office.

Why are you in such a hurry to find him?

His wife said they were best buddies; they would exchange letters every day, or at least keep in touch every other day.

Yesterday's letter didn't mention anything important that required his presence.

Is it that the article he is reviewing requires his personal guidance?
Not like.

Yes, during the day, as a county magistrate, he simply doesn't have time to help him review documents, and even after the court session ended yesterday, he had no free time.

What is that?

Once you leave the county school, even without taking a carriage, the distance between the county school and the county government office is not far.

Furthermore, since it was not yet time for the end of the official business, Gu Wenxuan abandoned the carriage and walked, asking Jiaxing, who was waiting outside the county school, to make a trip to the post station and Qilizhuang Village.

Whether he was overthinking it or not, he had a premonition that Qian Huaizhi's eagerness to meet him today was definitely related to the Gao family.

Judging from the time Mr. Qian arrived in Jiangnan, it seems that his senior brother Qian, with his amazing background, should also know whether the Jiangnan case involves the second year of high school.

It would be good for Ling Jiaxing to make a trip to the post station and Qilizhuang Village first, as both are located north of the city. He could also check along the way to see if there was any letter from Madam Gao today.
