Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Gu Wenxuan looked in the direction Gu Erlang was looking, and there stood their father, his hands behind his back, coming towards them to catch his son.

"What a father who can't be separated from his son for a moment! Like father, like son. I knew it! I always worry about my son when he's not under my nose!"

So it turns out it was our dad's fault after all?
Gu Erlang laughed heartily.

"What are you laughing about?" Gu Erzhu approached and saw his eldest son still grinning foolishly. "The two brothers are still chatting over here. Hurry up, Tiger Girl and Sanya are here."

The implication was that they were about to set off, which Gu Wenxuan naturally understood. "When my elder brother heard that I would have maids to serve him on his way to Zhen Ding Prefecture, he was overjoyed."

This time, Gu Erzhu burst into laughter. "Good lad, you even say that your elder brother has maids serving him. Aren't you afraid that your sister-in-law will hear this and fight you to the death?"
"Nonsense!" Gu Erlang pulled his father with one hand and his brother with the other, walking back. "Liu Lang said he's just like you in every way, and he was showing off to me."

"Your mother will be unhappy if she hears this."

"It's alright, I'll just follow my mother's lead."

"Look how wronged you look. Don't think that just because you're going out today, your mother will beat you up." Gu Wenxuan said with a smile, then changed the subject, "Dad, be careful out there."

"Don't worry, just go to Tianjin, it's not far. If things go smoothly, your father will be back in a month or two, and he will send you messages from time to time."

If your Uncle Tian wants to talk to you about collecting grain or something, just decline it for now. If there's anything you can't decide, discuss it with Sanya. If it's something you can't decline, just say you'll wait for Dad to come back.”

"Ok."

"Also, your father and your eldest brother aren't home. Your mother can take care of your grandparents. You can just focus on studying at home. The provincial examination is coming up soon."

The days when Dad isn't home are really upsetting. Don't bother with them. Your mother and I have already agreed that she will take you to Taozhuang to stay for a while.

That place is quiet and close to the county town. If you want to go to the county school, you can take a horse-drawn carriage, which won't take much time. Just leave early.

If it's difficult to get back from the county school, tell your mother, and she will take you to the city for a few days. In short, don't confront them directly.

Your grandma is easy to appease as long as your dad isn't home, and your mom can keep her in check. Dad isn't worried about your grandma making things difficult for you and your husband, but getting her to stand up for your grandpa is a different story.

Dad is afraid that your grandma will turn a blind eye to your grandpa's nonsense while Dad is not home. Your uncle is your grandma's eldest son, after all, and your grandma will not dislike him.

If it weren't for your uncle's blatant wrongdoing, your grandma might have wanted to kill him. That's right, even now, we still have to appease your grandma, understand?

"I understand." After saying that, Gu Wenxuan saw that his father still didn't turn to look at him, as if he was afraid that he would fight with the other side, so he nodded emphatically again.

"Do you really understand?"

Hey, even you don't believe it anymore?

Without a doubt, it was his older brother who asked those questions, and he was the first to stop walking, which almost made Gu Wenxuan burst out laughing.

"Don't you see how long it's been since I last threw a punch—"

"This morning, you didn't even have a chance to throw a punch."

Seeing that the topic was about to be steered off course by his eldest son, Gu Erzhu slapped his son's arm and said, "It's already dawn. Let your brother finish speaking, we still have to go out."

With you all like this, I'm about to forget what I was going to say next.

Gu Wenxuan nodded with a smile, "I understand, I really understand. If Grandpa wants to do something, I'll take Grandma away. Separating the two of them, and since you're not home, Grandpa can't cause trouble. I won't confront Grandpa directly. If he sides with Dalang, I'll make Grandma side with me."

"If our master wasn't looking for you for Dalang, but for your uncle, what if he were? For example, since your uncle is currently unemployed at home, he would let you choose any workshop to be his accountant?"

This time, Gu Erzhu did not stop his eldest son. He waited quietly for his eldest son to finish speaking, and then stared at his youngest son with great curiosity about how he would respond.

Gu Wenxuan rubbed his forehead, then looked down and touched his own head. "He did mention things like before that the workshop ultimately wasn't mine, but belonged to my wife."

I was just short of telling him outright that my uncle could be my accountant and help me look after the house. I told him frankly that I would rather my wife move all the family's assets back to her parents' home than let them benefit from it.

I've already said it out loud, my uncle must know. Even if he tries to persuade my grandfather to scheme against me while you're not home, he wouldn't be stupid enough to bring it up again.

His next plan was to see if he could pass the imperial examination at the Dalang Mansion, or if he wanted Sanlang to set up a vermicelli workshop like his uncle.

As for the former, needless to say, his eldest son has no chance of getting into Jingshan Academy with his aptitude. What can I do to help with the prefectural exam? I'm busy preparing for the provincial exam myself.

The remaining plan is to have Sanlang help his eldest son's family set up a vermicelli workshop. But what about the capital? The uncle has his aunt's dowry as a foundation, so what does his eldest son's family have left?
This is not something I can get involved in; let him go find his uncle. If he wants Sanlang to do something different from his uncle, what else can he do? I don't understand.

"It's no use arguing. What could I possibly know? You're just making things difficult for me. Who knows if we'll lose money? Besides, Sanlang is doing just fine with Uncle."

"Absolutely right!" Gu Erlang clapped his hands. "If you think about it this way, you can't be wrong. What could a scholar like you know? Ha, we've come to the right person!"
You are you, and your wife is your wife. If our boss wants to talk to you about this, just let him go talk to your wife and see how he opens his mouth!
Even if he has the nerve to speak up for your uncle, your wife will handle it. It's best if you stay out of that mess and let your wife handle it.

Neither our grandfather nor our eldest uncle are a match for your wife, you know? Your wife doesn't need to say a single harsh word to them; she can handle it all, understand?

Do not understand!

Only you understand!
Gu Wenxuan nodded, both amused and exasperated, then pointed and said, "My wife's here! Look, she's right there! Brother, tell me about my wife—"

"What utter nonsense!" Gu Erzhu laughed and scolded, patting his two sons on the shoulder. "They're getting more and more absurd. Just stay away from them."

With your mother and me here, there's no need for you to confront us. Alright, your mother has already come out to greet you, hurry up. The carriage is ready, child's mother?

Yes, it's true. Didn't you say we had to leave before dawn? Your luggage has already been put into the carriage outside, just waiting for the three of you to come back.

Liu nodded, "Sixth Brother, do you still want to meet up with your father, your brother, and your Uncle Yun before coming back? Okay, then we'll accompany the three of them to the front gate."

What she said next was addressed to her two daughters-in-law, and naturally, Zhou Banxia and Ma Shan, including Gu Baoya, immediately followed suit.

main entrance.

It was impossible for Gu Erzhu to sneak out without alerting anyone. He was early, but others were even earlier, and he was eventually caught at the gate by his two in-laws.

Fine, but do I still have to accompany him to the south of the city?
"Alright!" Ma Dazhuang waved his hand. "I happen to be going into town today."

"how about you?"

Zhou Shun glared at her, "I'm going to the city, what are you going to do about it!"

"Hahaha, alright, the three of us brothers, get in the carriage!" (End of Chapter)
