Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Xiaobai was quite puzzled as to why Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Yujiang took out the letter to her father-in-law right now. It was impossible for her family to set off today.

Apart from anything else, the two of them would have to attend the children's banquet held by Lord Fu Zun with her brother Li tomorrow, and it's not like they wouldn't be able to meet him.

"These two children are saying that they do not forget that their first husband is our father. They give the letter first and then go to the Zhou Mansion. They are respecting their teachers and have no other intentions."

"Oh, that's it, I understand. I thought they wouldn't come back tonight, and it would be inconvenient to hand it over to Brother Li when they are out tomorrow. It's so polite."

But no, he even wrote a letter to his uncle (Bai Juren). Mr. Zhou and the second brother of the Gu family regard his father as Liu Lang's benefactor. It is not in vain that his father favors Liu Lang.

Zhou Changping, who was not good at words, smiled and nodded, "It would be great if Liulang got another court case leader. We also have a little Sanyuan from Qinghe Village."

Xiaobai was very happy when he heard this, "Rokuro said there is little chance, otherwise -" Well, I can't say anymore, "Our father can be regarded as teaching Xiao Sanyuan, right?"
Okay, no more nagging, Sanya is going to be very busy today, I'll go see if I can help. You read with Brother Li, and I can hear you if you call me. "

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Changping saw that his always gentle and quiet daughter-in-law had turned around and walked out of the room, acting more and more like Daya's niece.

Xiaobai found Zhou Banxia.

The two people murmured about how much they would lose this time and when they would send someone to the casino to cash it out.

When the odds were opened and Gu Wenxuan, the leader of the Qingyang County case, would lose five to one, Xiaobai bet ten taels of silver on his own accord.

Later, when she saw shopkeeper Hu betting thousands of taels of silver in private, she bet another fifty taels of silver.

Then she learned that Zhou Banxia had bet on another person to win. At that time, the odds were only 1 to 3, and she couldn't help but bet Gu Wenxuan and another person for twenty taels of silver.

The total amount was exactly one hundred taels of silver, which was a third of the money I brought with me.

Once settled now, it’s not a big profit.

She was even happier than Zhou Banxia, ​​who spent a lot of money on it. Before she got the money, she was already counting on her fingers what to buy and take home.

It makes Zhou Banxia happy.

understand.

These days, let alone women, it is not easy for men to visit Fucheng.

Not only do you have to worry about safety on the road, but you also have to pay a lot of money for travel, and you also need a road guide.

If there is no way to lead the way, and it is seen that the person with the waist card is not a person with a good reputation, he will be sent to the Yamen and slapped with ten big boards, and will be sent to his hometown after being imprisoned for investigation.

I also accompanied them on this trip to take part in the imperial examination. Generally speaking, it was rare for women to come all the way from the village to the capital city unless they had to.

So Zhou Banxia didn't care about Xiao Bai turning over and over again and repeatedly stating the name of the item, leaving her alone in the small hall, and went out first to quietly ask Gu Dachang to find shopkeeper Hu who was staying at Xiuzhuang today.

Compared with Xiao Bai, she deposited more principal back and forth.

Don't worry about letting outsiders know that you are participating in gambling. People from small families are afraid that they will take their lives but lose their lives. They can only leave it to Shopkeeper Hu to send someone to deliver the goods. It is very safe.

Gu Dachang quickly put the money bag containing a bunch of receipts away close to his body, and did not dare to delay taking the two people selected from the village out for a moment.

The two servants also had wives and children. Zhou Banxia was not worried that the three of them would dare to run away with the receipt, so he did not inform Gu Erzhu and Zhou Shun.

For one thing, because Gu Wenxuan and Da Jiang had been arranged by Zhou Huan in advance, they would be staying at Jingshan Academy tonight, and the family needed them to come out to socialize. Secondly, Zhou Banxia had already agreed with Mrs. Qian in advance to hand it over to Shopkeeper Hu, otherwise Shopkeeper Hu would have spent thousands of taels of money on the bet.

Finally, Zhou Banxia was afraid of scaring Gu Erzhu and Zhou Shun, so he planned to kill them first and then wait until shopkeeper Hu exchanged the banknotes and handed them over to Qian Gui.

After arranging this matter, the day after tomorrow, he would cancel the lease and move to Zhuangzi outside the city. Zhou Banxia left as soon as possible and then started to pack his luggage.

Speaking of tidying up, my personal belongings were basically sorted, so I just ordered the servants to do things. She was responsible for coming up with ideas and talking, so she basically had nothing to do.

At noon, Zhang Dazhuang and his wife came.

What's interesting is that the owner of the house here returned the rent without charging a penny and even prepared a congratulatory gift.

If Zhang Dazhuang hadn't said that there was indeed a candidate who was the first in the case, the owner of the inn where he stayed and the yard he rented would usually refund the rent in order to seek a good omen, and Zhou Banxia would not dare to accept it.

Not to mention, there are actually gifts.

Although the gift was not something expensive, it was not bad, and it was worth a tael of silver anyway. Zhou Banxia almost made a joke when he was preparing to return the gift.

In Zhang Dazhuang's words, the landlord of the house has made a lot of money. He doesn't have to wait for the next government examination. The rent has doubled now, and most people are rushing to rent it.

There was no need to prepare a generous gift in return. From the beginning, his girl did not bully others into insisting on buying the house. It was already a kindness of his girl to return a large amount of rent.

What he said made sense, and Zhou Banxia almost had the illusion that he was getting better.

As expected, it is not advisable to stay here for too long. If you stay for a long time, you will have to forget who you are.

In that room, shopkeeper Hu and Qian Gui saw Gu Dachang and the others arriving, so Qian Gui sent someone to the casino to secretly exchange the banknotes, and she herself went into the Qian Mansion to see Mrs. Qian.

Returning to Xiuzhuang, Qian Gui and the others also came back, leaving behind her own share and that of her young lady, Mrs. Qian. Shopkeeper Hu came with her husband Qian Gui after all.

When I heard that shopkeeper Hu was here, Zhou Banxia still didn't believe it.

When Xiaoliuzi brought things yesterday, she also said that there was a batch of silk threads and other items from the south, some of which were soaked by the rain and needed to be processed by her Aunt Mei in the embroidery shop.

"Have you found out the reason? Auntie, is the loss big? Madam (Qian) didn't blame you, right? Don't be afraid to say that I have money for your niece."

It was inconvenient for Qian Gui to go into the backyard. He was in the main courtyard with Gu Erzhu, Zhou Shushun and others. When he and shopkeeper Hu entered the backyard, Zhou Banxia asked worriedly.

Shopkeeper Hu felt warm in his heart and said with a smile, "I'm worried again. I didn't ask Xiao Liuzi to tell you that it's okay. I can't find out. It was wet by the rain on the way to delivery."

There were too many goods, and when they were moved to the warehouse, it was dark, and the old warehouse owner was not paying attention, so he accidentally got passed by, and all the people who deserved to be punished were punished.

Nothing could go wrong, only the outside and the bottom layer got wet. Everything inside was fine, so the loss was not big. "

That has nothing to do with Xiuzhuang, fortunately.

"It's such a mess inside, where is Liulang? I haven't had time to congratulate him. He is not at home right now and has gone to the Zhou Mansion? Have you gone to the Zhou Mansion to say thank you to your aunt?"

Zhou Banxia nodded and served the tea cup first, waiting for shopkeeper Hu to take over, "He and Dajiang went, but I didn't go. My aunt sent someone here this morning to keep me busy first, and we'll meet up the day after tomorrow."

"That's fine." Shopkeeper Hu guessed that Mrs. Zhou heard the good news this morning and left the city for Gaojiazhuang with peace of mind. "Here, count quickly to see how many are in there."
