Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Fortunately, it didn't rain in the evening. When returning to Qinghe Village from the county seat, Gu Wenxuan directly chose to go to the workshop from the Gujiazhuang intersection.

When he arrived, Zhou Banxia was still here as he expected. He saw her sitting under an old osmanthus tree in the inner square, burying her head in front of a desk and writing.

There are teapots and cups on the stone table beside it, as well as a set of fruit plates from the Qingfeng Lotus series, which contain attractive red watermelons and several pastries.

Gu Wenxuan sat on the stone bench beside him and poured his own tea.

Zhou Banxia heard the sound and looked up to see it was him. He couldn't help but smile brightly, "The cold red date cake and cheese pumpkin cake are very good, try them."

Not to mention, Gu Wenxuan really didn't notice that there were red date cakes and pumpkin cakes among them. No wonder he glanced at them just now and thought that several pastries were colorful.

"Just made it today?"

"Yes."

"Are there any pumpkins now?"

"Last year, my eldest sister went back to her husband's house and found it in the cellar. Aunt Fang said she had nothing to do, so she made the pumpkin into cheese pumpkin pie."

Fortunately, I almost thought it was taken from the vegetable patch in the backyard of the villa. Gu Wenxuan shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, "Do you want me to help you?"

"No, it's all figured out. Just copy it once and save it. It'll be done soon." Zhou Banxia asked him without raising his head whether he had finished all the things for today?
"The paperwork has been settled. The county school can just wait until August 15th. Even the banquet for the return invitation is scheduled for the day after tomorrow and comes directly to Yunke.

Before I came back, Uncle Chang Qing also made an agreement with Dachang Dahua and the others to send someone to send out invitations. Later, Dajiang and I would just accompany our two fathers to Yunke. "

It’s great, you don’t have to be busy at home!
Zhou Banxia put down the last stroke, and the secret passage was finally over. He decisively threw the small brush in his hand into the brush washer and asked which families were on the list?
"Yes, invitations will be sent to your door before tonight. I also asked Dajiang to go back and tell your father first. Dajiang and I came back later than Uncle Changping and the others."

"Understood, where is your father?"

"It's too late to go back later." Gu Wenxuan raised his head and glanced at the sky, "Is Jiaxing still over there? Is there anything I don't understand about you?"

"No, but I went there once. The sun didn't come out today, so I didn't put them outside to dry. They were put in the drying room, so I couldn't go in.

I heard that Jiaxing came back and forth in the morning and afternoon to report that he was still debugging. He probably wanted to see if you were back, and if so, could he go and see for himself. "

Gu Wenxuan also had this intention.

It was a hot day, and the drying room was almost full of men with their arms exposed and no shirts on. It was not easy for his wife to get in and out, so he definitely had to check on her before going home.

"There is still a hole to be dug. I mentioned it to Uncle Chang Gen this morning. It is better to dig it on the other side of the ditch. It is best to be as far away from where you live, otherwise it will stink."

"Haven't dug yet?"

"Yes, when you say you have to pick a day, you also pick the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, leave it to me. I'm just on my way, I'm going to see which one is suitable." Gu Wenxuan stood up, "Don't move around.

As you guessed, Shopkeeper Wang handed over a letter today. I haven't had time to open it yet. You go over there and read it and wait for me. I'll be back soon. "

"I know, I can't run away. I'll wait for you in the accounting room in front of me and go back together." Watching Gu Wenxuan leave, Zhou Banxia didn't bother to tidy up the things on the table.

Just as she was about to stand up and look for help from some wife-in-law, she saw her Aunt Lan bringing someone with a food box. She didn't even need to say a word, and several people moved and lifted it in twos and threes.

"Where's my uncle?"

"We're going to the paper mill." "Why don't you go before you eat." Zhou Molan was worried about handing the food box to the maid, but she was relieved to give it to Gu Dahua's family.

Put the food box on the stone table and divide it into two layers. Give one layer to Gu Dahua's family and hand it over to Gu Wenxuan personally. Put the other one out for Zhou Banxia to eat first.

full?

It’s not something that’s filling to begin with.

Fast food.

After eating and walking around, I happened to go back for dinner with my uncle later.

In this life, even a silver spoon was stuffed into her hands. She was such a diligent person in the past, how could she not fall into depravity when being cared for so carefully.

The outside room of the accounting room.

It was exactly the same as when she went out before. There were no wooden boxes or wooden boxes. However, when she walked into the inner room, Zhou Banxia saw a wicker book box on the couch.

In addition, there is a pair of square wicker baskets with lids at the foot of the wall. They look like handicrafts and not at all like the wicker baskets used by farmers.

When I opened it, it was as expected.

Mrs. Gao couldn't just write letters.

This time, the square wicker basket was stuffed with various books and article examples wrapped in black oil paper. It must have been sent by Mrs. Gao along with letters.

As for why there is no need to change the wooden box?
hen.

Maybe it was shipped together with the goods sent to Yunlaike here. If it is buried in it, there is no need to worry about it being crushed on the road or getting wet by the rain.

Zhou Banxia roughly tore open the black oil paper, flipped through it, and found that it was really good stuff. Several sample articles were exactly the same as those that the eldest brother of the Zhou family had taken out from the Imperial College.

She deliberately put these sample articles aside so that Gu Wenxuan could see them immediately to see whether the two heroes had the same views.

If so, it would be interesting. Regardless of the title, in terms of article content, the same several sample articles have been selected. Does this mean that the concepts are the same?

As a result, the eldest brother and a certain young master from the Gaofu family will meet on a narrow road next spring. It will be even harder to win a membership in one fell swoop.

I don’t know what my uncle was thinking, but he insisted on suppressing his eldest brother to prevent him from participating in the Spring Festival three years earlier.

Zhou Banxia thought so. When she found Mrs. Gao's letter and came out of the inner room, she also asked Zhou Molan, "Is the eldest brother afraid of his uncle so he didn't dare to participate in the last Spring Festival?"

Zhou Molan really knows how to solve this question.

She only heard her reply: "The eldest young master had just finished the provincial examination not long ago. Not only did the master disapprove, but even Master Kong asked the eldest young master to get married first.

Mr. Kong is the eldest young master’s apprentice and the eldest young mistress’s direct second uncle. According to him, the eldest young master is just going to try out. If he is not careful in the imperial examination, he may be ranked outside the top 200. "

In other words, it is very likely that she will be admitted to the same school. It seems that her uncle did not underestimate her elder brother, but she underestimated the difficulty of the scientific examination. The ninth place in the provincial examination is actually at risk of being admitted to the same school.

"Also, the grievances have not been cleared up at that time. I must have wanted the eldest young master to postpone the exam for three years. In addition, the eldest young mistress and the eldest young master are the same age.

It doesn't hurt that the eldest young master is getting married two years late, but the eldest mistress can't wait any longer. Her grandfather is seriously ill and if she observes mourning for three years, the eldest mistress will get married in her late twenties. "(End of chapter)
