Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 316 Don’t mention it
"It doesn't matter. Your Uncle Qi will be back tonight, but your Uncle Cheng and the others won't be back tonight. They will have to come over tomorrow afternoon, and the luggage is still there."

Mrs. Zhou said, pointing the paper fan in her hand at the fruit plate on the small round table, "Take it yourself. How about leaving the day after tomorrow at the earliest?"

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are not auspicious days to go out. The best time to travel these days is the day after tomorrow. You have to wait half a month after that. This time your uncle won't let me keep you for a few more days. "

"Then you and uncle will accompany me back -"

"Eat your watermelon." Mrs. Zhou pretended to glare, "You are so filial. You still want to torment your uncle and me in such a hot weather. Let's wait until the weather cools down."

"I said before that we'll wait until the weather gets warmer, and now I'm saying that we'll wait until the weather gets cooler. Who knows if I'll give my second brother a betrothal gift then?"

"What are you muttering about? Louder."

"Hehe~" Zhou Banxia innocently picked up a small piece of watermelon and put it to Mrs. Zhou's mouth, "Auntie, why is my second brother coming back in such a hot day?"

"You can't wait any longer." Mrs. Zhou took a small bite of the watermelon, shook her head and swallowed, "How long has your second brother been in Yangzhou Mansion?"

"Where's the third brother?"

"It's even worse for your third brother. He's afraid that your uncle is not used to being here. If you don't push him, he can stay in the capital until two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival and then come back. If you push him, don't worry, it's not far from the capital, and the road is better. a few days.”

It's strange to say.

What a good uncle he is, the eldest is studying in the Imperial College, but the second and third are actually studying next to me who rarely has time to spare.

"You, Brother Rokuro, and Ojiang did well in the exam this time. I will wait for you to get home as soon as possible. You go back first, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will see if I can go there."

Zhou Banxia still didn't know that even after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mrs. Zhou's prerequisite for going to Qinghe Village was that she was pregnant. Even when she returned to Zhuangzi, Gu Wenxuan didn't mention it at all.

Not only did Gu Wenxuan not mention it himself, but he also told Da Jiang not to reveal it, so as not to cause psychological pressure to Zhou Banxia.

It is not easy to get a single person to let go of his worries and agree to his proposal.

If he mentions the birth of a child again, his wife will probably suffer from depression.

If his wife is not mentally prepared to have a child, it would be better not to mention it and let nature take its course. When she figures it out, it will fall into place naturally.

It's time again when the moon rises and the tops of the willow trees rise.

Return to Zhuangzi.

Xiaohe has already fallen asleep.

The little guy is very busy today.

In the morning, he memorized books and practiced calligraphy. After lunch break, he woke up and rode his pony to "practice his riding skills." As the sun set and it got dark, he went to Zhou Mansion for dinner, and it was only at this time that he came back.

He carried Xiao He back to the east wing and wiped his face without waking him up.

As for Dajiang, like Gu Wenxuan, he first sorted out his notes after class today and then practiced five large characters.

The next morning.

Zhou Banxia didn't hold back this time and told Gu Wenxuan exactly what her aunt, Mrs. Zhou, told her last night and what the two of them did.

"...Last night after dinner, my aunt and I went to visit the elders here. Who would have thought that they would prepare gifts for you and Dajiang? It's better not to go."

Gu Wenxuan knew that Zhou Banxia felt that it was natural to visit the elders with gifts, but instead he felt embarrassed to come to the door to ask for gifts.

"But, then again, it's impossible not to come to the door, otherwise I wouldn't want to go to the study to ask my uncle about what souvenirs should be brought."

"No wonder I heard that you came to the study and went to the backyard before. I asked you what you were doing. Even if your wife is not able to make the decision, she will definitely give you a perfect answer if you ask me how good the old housekeeper is." "It's different. In order, I As for uncle, aunt, and then the old housekeeper, there is no reason not to ask the aunt first but the old housekeeper.

No, I went back to the backyard to ask my aunt, and my aunt asked the old housekeeper what gifts my aunt brought back to her hometown for the elders in the clan.

Then, I didn’t have to worry about anything. I just listened to my aunt and went with her. In this case, my aunt must be more surprised that I am obedient and obedient? "

Good on you Zhou Banxia, ​​you still said you didn’t want to be mean!
Looking at Zhou Banxia with disheveled hair and winking, Gu Wenxuan suddenly laughed out loud, "I just didn't expect to cost my elders."

"No, that's too polite. What's interesting is that when I got back, my aunt told me that I had taken back the favor." Zhou Banxia laughed.

"It's a shame she doesn't have a daughter."

"No. She doesn't even know how much my master has subsidized them in private. Logically speaking, when I was here last time, they should have made up for the lack of compensation for me in the name of you, the head of the case in the central government.

It doesn't matter whether the courtesy is light or not. Since my uncle has brought me back, I represent my master. My master should treat me more favorably, no matter how much he has sacrificed for his people.

My aunt felt that regardless of the master's contribution, when they came back, my uncle gave them most of the ancestral property returned by the court. They shouldn't take me seriously. "

Gu Wenxuan shook his head and smiled, "Is there something that should or shouldn't be done? Maybe they thought that the family was ruined because of the direct lineage. Now that my husband has resigned and returned to his hometown, he can no longer support the clan members."

"That's why I wanted to go to my uncle first to discuss what kind of gift would be appropriate. I just wanted to see how my uncle now thinks about the importance of the elders in the clan.

After all, uncle and aunt are different. Uncle values ​​family and heirs, but aunt has no sense of belonging to Zhoujia Village. "

Human nature.

No matter who you change, your husband's family will suddenly be different. There are still a lot of people in your husband's family. No matter who you change, no one will be able to come to Zhoujia Village at once and become as close as one family to your husband's family.

She couldn't become an official's wife, and she didn't even wait for the capital. She followed her husband to the countryside, and happily spent money and people, and tried hard to integrate into it. The master's wife was no longer an ordinary virtuous person.

Not to mention.

"Master's wife regards you as her daughter. She doesn't like her children not being taken seriously. She is very similar to my mother in this regard."

Indeed, it is one thing to take a fancy to someone who is not her daughter-in-law. Her mother-in-law is more annoyed than herself when she is wronged, and she has a charming temperament.

"My sister-in-law just came in before. Because she had a large dowry, my eldest uncle whispered behind her back that a girl from a good family would cheat on her. My mother gave me a severe lesson."

"A fight?"

"There was no fight. When my mother grabbed her hair and slapped her, I went to invite Uncle Ma, and even the old lady didn't say a word."

"How old were you then?"

"Zhang Suo is three or four years old. I was almost fourteen at that time."

"Did you drop out of school then?"

"almost."

"What do you mean it's almost the same?" Zhou Banxia couldn't help but chuckle, "No wonder my sister-in-law said you were being plotted by the eldest brother. In fact, she already knew it in her heart. She didn't want to say it out loud because she was worried about her parents quarreling."

"How should I put this?" Gu Wenxuan shook his head, "I almost made a mistake. When I just looked through my memory, I thought that uncle was trying to get some face.

Wait until you meet him in person and observe his words and actions, then it’s better not to mention it.

With all those silly things to do, you have no idea how much I celebrated that I was my parents’ son. "

"Then let's leave tomorrow?"
