Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1149 still praised him.
They still praised it.

Only the family knows its own affairs.

Gu Wenxuan considered himself thick-skinned enough, but after hearing the praise from his father-in-law, he felt his face burning.

If his wife were truly as easily fooled by her brother-in-law as his father-in-law claimed, and handed over all her savings to him, then she wouldn't be his wife.

His wife, who has never changed her habit of being secretive about money since childhood, is the kind of person who would hand over the family fortune to her brothers.
Let alone her brothers, even her own sons can forget about inheriting all of her wealth. She always has to leave some money for retirement, which is in line with her character.

Look!

His wife shook her head and smiled shyly.

"Dad, my third sister already gave all her savings to my brother and me," Xiaohe said with a smile, looking at Gu Wenxuan. "Brother-in-law, don't you think so?"

You naughty child!
Gu Wenxuan chuckled and shook his head. "Don't ask me. I only know that the greatest contributor to our family is Dad. Without Dad, where would I find such a good wife?"

Come, Dad, I salute you. I hope you live a long life so that my husband and I can have more opportunities to be filial to you. Of course, I also need your help in the future.

"Leaving aside the distant future, for the upcoming summer harvest, you'd better make sure the couple is settled before they go to the capital, otherwise I'll be completely clueless and at a loss."

Thursday, Shun was already happy to lend a hand to his third daughter and her husband. Upon hearing this, if it weren't for the fact that he had to make a trip to Beijing, he would have personally overseen the harvest.

"Don't worry, although there has been less rain than in previous years since the beginning of spring, I've seen that our harvest is not bad. I'll have your Uncle Changqing keep an eye on things. It's not a big deal."

As for you, just focus on your studies. Whether you get first place or not, we won't force you. It would be amazing if you could even pass the provincial examination, you know? Let's go and see how the provincial examination works.

If we pass the imperial examination, we pass; if we don't, we'll just assume that God saw us consistently ranking first and wanted us to take a break.

"We'll go visit your grandmaster later, bringing Sanya and Yuan'er along, so your grandmaster and his uncles and aunts over there can see our Yuan'er."

What a wonderful father-in-law! He even thought of how Gu Wenxuan could make an excuse to run away with his wife and children if he failed the exam. Gu Wenxuan nodded in agreement without hesitation.

It has to be said that not all fathers-in-law are the same. If you give a father-in-law like this any amount of his own money, he'll be happy to do so, saying, "We'll go to Jiangnan together sometime."

“Alright, let’s go and see what’s different about Jiangnan compared to here. I’ve always heard people talk about how powerful and powerful the clans there are, so it would be good for us to go and take a look.”

"Of course, they make it sound like they have a lot of influence over there. I'm embarrassed to tell Uncle Changwu and the others that they're lucky their aunt was there to help them."

Zhou Shun agreed with her son-in-law's words, "Yes, what a great contribution. Well, let them say what they want. After all, they did help your husband earlier."

Saying too much will only lead to accusations of good fortune turning into misfortune or kindness turning into enmity. We should keep that to ourselves and not let your husband be seen as an ungrateful scoundrel.

They all only remember how they helped your aunt and your husband; they've all forgotten how your aunt treated them first, which is why they were ashamed to refuse.

This is true.

If we're really talking about who owes whom a favor, there's a lot to consider. Even the Eldest Princess owes a favor to the Princess of Fu'an County. No wonder Aunt Lan often feels indignant on behalf of her old mistress.

As Gu Wenxuan raised his wine cup to Zhou Sishun as a sign of respect, he couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, my husband has it tough too. When trouble comes knocking, he can't avoid it."

"Someone over there is meddling in things too?"

Finish the calf!
I almost forgot my wife was there.

Gu Wenxuan quickly shook his head and denied it, "It's not that someone over there is meddling, it's my fault for not making it clear. It's that a relative over there wants to see if you can speak with the Imperial Envoy."

Hard head!
Zhou Banxia: "Which branch of the family?" "I'm not really sure." Sigh, you still don't believe me! Gu Wenxuan had to prove his innocence by laughing, "The master didn't mention it to me, so I didn't tell you either."

Brother Qian mentioned to me which families are involved in this matter. I checked the marriage relationships with the Zhou family and it became very simple.

Even without you mentioning it to me, it's obvious you're over there. It would be strange if those families didn't try to plead with you and the Imperial Envoy through marriage.

Can you explain this away?

In front of her parents and younger brother, Zhou Banxia didn't want to dwell on the matter, so she could only pretend to believe it for now. After nodding, she took the initiative to change the subject and talked about not knowing when her uncle would return.

otherwise?

Putting everything else aside, her father alone is bound to start overthinking again.

"This?" Gu Wenxuan followed her words. "It will be soon. Now that you and your sister-in-law have both given birth, and your master's health is also good, even if you want to spend more time with your master, he will not keep you any longer."

“That makes sense. How can the head of the family stay away from home for so long?” Zhou Banxia said, only to see her mother looking at her expectantly. “Dajiang can’t. He’s gone to study and won’t be back until the end of the year at the earliest.”

"Don't worry about anything. With a bunch of kids together, do you think your son will suffer over there? Dajiang wrote in his family letters that he's not only very comfortable at the academy, but the whole clan adores him."

"Yes, Mother, look who my brother is with. Not to mention the academy and the clan, my brother also has my third brother and his brother-in-law by his side. Uncle Xu and relatives from the Qi family will not let my brother suffer any grievances over there."

Li sighed inwardly.

How could she not know that her Dajiang had plenty of people protecting him over there? If no one was protecting him, how could her Sanya feel at ease letting her younger brother stay there?

"Mother knows, Mother just hasn't seen your brother for a long time."

Missing my brother?

I think so too.

The little river opened its mouth and then closed it.

"How about I send you over there to keep your son company?" Zhou Sishun smiled at Li Shi. "What are you going to do? You don't know anything. You'll only embarrass the child in public."

"That's just how your mother is. She always wanted to go to the prefectural city with me before, but every time I was about to leave, she wouldn't go—"

"How can that be the same? I was too ashamed to face Sanya!"

Finally, it can talk!

Zhou Sishun was extremely pleased that his wife had blurted out these words in front of him.

Regardless of whether the child's mother truly values ​​her son over her daughter, the fact that she could blurt out "shameless" without a second thought shows she still has some conscience.

It's good that she has a conscience. Her daughter's filial piety wasn't wasted. It makes it difficult for her daughter to tell her husband that her own mother still cares about her.

"What are you saying, Mother? You're making it sound like you haven't even made me shoes, and you're worried I won't get any good food from home during the holidays, so you're making my father bring it to me—"

Li put down her chopsticks and waved her hand, "What does that matter? You are still my own flesh and blood, the child I carried for ten months. How could I not be afraid that you would be unable to protect yourself outside, just like your second sister?"

Your second sister is gone, and then, sigh, you gave birth to two daughters in a row. When you were pregnant, everyone said it was definitely a boy, but when you were born, it was another girl.

Not only did your grandma want to strangle you, but even your maternal grandmother advised me to send you away. I was also afraid that if I didn't send you away, I would have a daughter and cut off your father's family line. Keeping you is already enough to make me cherish you.
