The topic changed, and Zhou Banxia was startled. Just as he was about to mention what Madam Zhou had told her about choosing an auspicious day to return home with a coffin, Zhou Banxia heard Zhou Shun calling her from outside.

Gu Wenxuan quickly hugged her and stood up. After pulling her clothes up, he told Zhou Banxia to wait until the evening to talk, and recommended Zhou Banxia to go out of the inner room to see Zhou Shun first.

After he watched his wife leave, he frowned and couldn't help laughing when he thought that Zhou Banxia didn't directly ask Mrs. Zhou who the young cousin was.

"Where's my uncle?"

"Fell asleep."

Zhou Shushun had no doubts. Gu Wenxuan was very busy today, so Dajiang went back to his room to rest early. Worried about waking up his uncle, he pointed at the middle courtyard.

In the main room of the middle courtyard, when there were the most people before, Zhou Changping and Xiaobai didn't move in. Now that the imperial examination is over, Zhou Shushun asked Gu Erzhu to live there.

main hall.

Gu Erzhu, Zhou Changping, Gu Wenyu, Li Geer, and Xiaobai were either drinking tea or chatting softly, and mentioned when would be a good time to return.

Today's harvest is very rich.

Such as Gu Wenyu who went to Zhou Mansion to watch the ceremony.

Like Li Geer, he received a letter of recommendation for admission from Jingshan Academy. He did not have to wait for Jingshan Academy to enroll students every fall and could go to the academy at any time.

Of course, you have to take an exam if you want to be admitted to school, but it is definitely different from the admission exam that you have to pass in the autumn admissions. Admission is guaranteed.

Even he himself didn't expect to be treated like this after staying for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that there were only two months left before the college exam in June, and he still had to go home and go to the province in advance to prepare for the exam, he would have gone directly to Jingshan Academy.

"How about we wait until the third day of the trial trial at the earliest?"

Knowing that they were eager to return home, Zhou Banxia bowed and sat firmly, "My father will leave on that day at the earliest."

Everyone present knew that the father she meant must be Gu Erzhu.

Zhou Shun couldn't leave for a while, and he had to go back to Dingzhou Prefecture with Zhou Fu's coffin in the name of Master Sanya's second brother.

To the north of Dingzhou Prefecture is Baocheng Prefecture, and to the south is Zhending Prefecture.

Qingyang County, in the Song Dynasty, was under the jurisdiction of Zhongshan Prefecture on Hebei West Road, and in the Jin Dynasty it was under the jurisdiction of Dingzhou Prefecture on Hebei West Road. It can be seen that it is not very far from Dingzhou Prefecture.

At this time, there were no outsiders, so Xiaobai acted as the representative.

Did Mrs. Zhou mention choosing an auspicious day to return home with the coffin?
Even if they don't leave together, they still need to prepare a memorial ceremony to express their condolences and condolences.

Not to mention, Mrs. Zhou had discussed this matter with Zhou Banxia in private before, and Zhou Banxia also agreed to keep a low profile.

She planned to move to Zhuangzi the next day to avoid visitors, and would meet up with Mrs. Zhou and the others at the ancestral home of the Gao family to set off on the afternoon of the third day.

Then he will stay in Dingzhou Mansion for a while, and after finishing things, he will go home first, and then return to Dingzhou Mansion to meet up with Gu Wenxuan and Da Jiang who are preparing for the exam and go to Zhending Mansion.

It's just that the plan has changed and it's hard to mention the matter in front of Xiao Bai and others. Zhou Banxia first answers the questions raised by Xiao Bai.

Regarding the auspicious day chosen by the Zhou family to help the coffin return home, she thought that Zhou Huan still needed to make arrangements, and there was really no need for them to wait any longer to refuse.

Then the topic changed to the topic of sending people to Zhending Mansion in advance to make preparations in the near future. Zhou Changping asked Zhou Changping to count how many people would be staying there.

The implication is that when Gu Wenxuan and Da Jiang went to Zhending Mansion to take the college examination, they still had no intention of staying in an inn or staying in a relative's yard.

From the contact so far, Zhou Changping has a relatively good understanding of his niece's behavior.

Seeing Gu Erzhu smiling and nodding, he knew that Zhou Banxia must have discussed it with Gu Erzhu in advance, so there was no need to worry about his niece not respecting her father-in-law, so she would kill her first and then report her.

In his view, as a scholar, since Zhou Banxia, ​​the niece, is married, she is naturally led by her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and husband. Therefore, he did not hesitate to report how many candidates, including himself, were going to take the college examination, as well as the number of people accompanying him, so that Zhou Banxia could calculate as soon as possible how much yard he would rent.

As for food, accommodation and other expenses, there were fewer people coming to Fucheng for the hospital examination than this time. Gu Erzhu, the father-in-law, had already determined not to accept even half of it, so he didn't even mention it.

On the contrary, he immediately waited for the government trial case to start back to the village. Whether he should go with Zhaojiacun and Liuli and the others still needed to be decided by the second brother of the Gu family.

In this regard, Gu Erzhu's suggestion is that since we come together, it is best to go back together, but he has not met Zhao Laosan in the past two or three days.

But it is conceivable that as long as he proposes it, Zhao Laosan will definitely agree.

Apart from anything else, this guy has made a lot of money through his pastry workshop.

The child's mother's recent letter mentioned that while he was away from home, Zhao Lao's second daughter-in-law couldn't wait to stay at his house, thinking that she could take away more goods.

This is why he went back to the village first.

Always arrive home three o'clock early and arrange all the pre-prepared tasks.

Immediately move Sanya to the workshop as soon as she arrives, otherwise the weather will get hotter day by day, and even if everyone has bought the goods, they will have to move to their own backyard, and the output will be reduced, which will lead to a huge loss.

Fortunately, Zhou Huan, an in-law, is not a pedantic scholar, and does not think Sanya's opening of a soap workshop is a disgrace to his status, and he is reasonable enough to ask him to protect the child more.

You are worthy of being a high-ranking official, but you are good at talking.

Although the child is smart, he has no scheming intentions. If he is lucky enough to enter his family, he and his wife are open-minded and can be loved and cared for by him and his wife, and they do not worry about the child being wronged.

Not only can he talk, but he can also be a good person.

Not only did he not need to personally propose that he want his old son and Dajiang to become apprentices, he also considered not accepting Wenyu and Li Geer, so he arranged in advance a letter of recommendation for admission to Jingshan Academy.

Even when waiting for the government to issue a trial case, no matter whether the child is on the list or not, invitations will inevitably come to the door, and arrangements have been made in advance for the child to decline in a reasonable way.

Gu Erzhu was relieved to leave his old son and young couple to such in-laws, so he met with Zhao Laosan the next day before the trial case was launched in Houtian Mansion.

If you ask Zhao Laosan who he envies the most now, there is no doubt that it is Gu Erzhu.

Liulang of the Gu family has gained his talent and learning, and there is no shortage of money to support him in studying for the imperial examination. Now he is attached to the big ship of Lord Zhou Huanzhou.

As long as such a person does not make too many mistakes, it is certain that he will pass the Jinshi examination and become an official in the court.

Moreover, Liulang of the Gu family is less than twenty. He is so young and has a teacher like Mr. Zhou and a master like the headmaster of Jingshan Academy. As long as he is willing to work hard, his future future will not be inferior to that of his elder brother.

If you have a child like this, why worry about it?

To the teahouse.

The two met.

Zhao Laosan was still amused when he thought that Gu Erzhu worked hard to support his eldest brother and nephew in studying for the imperial examination, but the father and son achieved nothing, and instead his own son became a man.

"Did you find a treasure?"

"I'm reminded of the stupid things you did before."

"piss off."

"Where is your in-law Mr. Zhou? You two are like 'Meng Bu Li Jiao, Jiao Bu Li Meng'. Why don't you see him here today? Are you afraid that I won't let him treat you?"

"As expected of you, Mr. Zhao, you are well-informed."
