Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Listening to Zhou Banxia's efforts to change the subject in order to avoid the sudden loss of desire to taste the stinky pickles, Gu Wenxuan listened with a smile and accompanied her into the study.

In the study, the desk remained as it was, but the kang and the kang table were in a mess.

There were piles of booklets scattered around, an abacus and several paperweights weighing down the crooked papers, and a bunch of brushes stuffed in the pen washer.

He was so anxious to leave that he even mixed black ink into the cinnabar ink.

"What are you looking at? I heard my sister-in-law come back and call me, so I naturally got off the bed and went to the window to answer her. Then I saw that mother and the others had also come back together—"

"I mistakenly thought that the old lady was here too, so I had to go out and pay my respects to her." Gu Wenxuan took over the conversation, "Is my reason sufficient?"

"That's the truth. Besides, I just want to show you how busy I am. Otherwise, why would I just sit there and let Mai Huang clean it up?"

"Yes, it's not easy for you." Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, "Let me do it, be obedient, just sit on the chair and wait."

Zhou Banxia spread his hands, took a step back and sat sideways on the armchair in front of the kang. While watching Gu Wenxuan tidying up, he reminded him which things could not be put away yet.

There are a lot of things on the kang, but it’s quick to clean them up.

Gu Wenxuan placed the last brush that had not been cleaned yet on the brush holder on the drawing table parallel to the head of the kang when he heard movement outside.

Outside in the yard, Wang, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Fang and others were saying goodbye and leaving, chatting and laughing that the snow had stopped and that God knew not to keep any guests, so they told everyone to quickly return home.

Gu Wenxuan saw that his wife could not sit still anymore. Without warning, she slipped to the window, calling "Aunt San" and "Auntie" in a coquettish voice.

——Why don’t you wait for her to leave again?

You've been idle forever. Now you're not picky about food anymore. You want to eat all kinds of melons. You'll go wherever there are melons. You're definitely a small version of Mr. Xiao Tian.

His great aunt, Ms. Oda, was like this. She would go wherever there was fun. At first, she had ears but no mouth, but later on, she just had a mouth.

Zhou Banxia burst out laughing.

What are you talking about? It is understandable to say that she took after her mother, but you have to use Oda as an example. There are still essential differences between her and Oda.

No matter how picky she is about food, the melons she eats are not as sweet as those of a fool. However, the melons from Oda's own home have all been sold to other people's homes. They look sweet, but inside they are worse than those of a fool.

"That all show is rotten inside, that's what your uncle is talking about. A grown man, he couldn't even win a fight. He was dragged out of his own house."

"It's not dragging, it's pulling, it's pulling by the hair." Gu Wenxuan corrected the wording seriously, "The key is that he is still a filial son.

A gentleman can be humiliated, but he cannot have a hair cut off. 'The hair on your body is from your parents.' This is why he lost, and you cannot wrongly accuse him."

"Does he need to be wrongly accused?" Zhou Banxia glanced at Gu Wenxuan, feeling uneasy. He listened carefully to the noise around him, and fortunately, there was no one around.

No, there are still people there.

Judging from the noise, her mother-in-law and eldest daughter-in-law were whispering almost in front of the corridor of the main courtyard.

It was just some distance away from the study, so she could hear it because of her sharp hearing, but when it came to her and her mother-in-law, they definitely couldn't hear what the couple were laughing at in the room.

Just now, Ma Shan asked her mother-in-law in a very low voice what she and her husband were laughing about in the study. Her mother-in-law answered that they must have seen your third aunt and her family go back. Liu Lang told San Ya about what he heard outside about your grandfather helping your uncle fight, and the young couple laughed like crazy.

Zhou Banxia and Gu Wenxuan looked at each other and couldn't help laughing again, "Mom was talking about the old man taking sides. According to what Third Aunt said before, everyone saw it.

I guess this is one of the reasons why the neighbors didn’t step forward to pull them apart. I heard that until the crowd at the old hospital dispersed, no one mentioned asking Doctor Dong to take a look.”

Gu Wenxuan had never heard of this, and even his father had never mentioned that the old man was biased. Hearing this, he was a little surprised, but not surprised.

Given the old man's character, he is capable of doing it.

If Sanlang and Silang were not at home, and the remaining three sons were not present at the time, it would not be impossible for the old man to prevent his sons and grandsons from taking action together.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you are a scholar, the old man must know that you have been at home these two days, why didn't he send someone to the workshop to call you to take charge?

That's impossible. They probably wouldn't think of you when they were doing good things. How could they not think of you when they were contributing money and effort? Did they send someone to look for you before, and you avoided them on purpose?"

Gu Wenxuan shook his head, "If Gu Yangwen was here, he wouldn't look for me. If he did, he would ask the old lady to look for you, but you have a double body now and it's different.

Not only was the old man warned by my great grandfather, but even my great uncle called his nephew to come and warn him when my father was away from home.

They say the old man is causing great harm to us young couple. Even if our father does not adopt us, he is the old man's uncle and has every right to teach him a lesson.

If our father still spoiled the old man as before, he would not be afraid of my uncle, but he can see from our father's current attitude.

What's more, the elders in the tribe are all on our side. They are waiting for me to pass the imperial examination and for you to benefit the tribe. They will not let him hold us back.

In this way, unless Gu Dalang's development surpasses mine one day, the old man will not easily look for me again, because he knows that he and I don't have a deep relationship.

To him, I am like a good knife that needs to be used on the blade. He won't ask me for help unless he really can't handle the problem.

It has nothing to do with his eldest son. For example, this time, will his eldest son tell him that he and the widow had an affair? If I am not mistaken about the person, what is my role? "

Why keep it a secret?

"In his mind, I am now there to save his life. Not to save anyone else, but to save his own old age. Only I can help him enjoy his old age."

Zhou Banxia opened his mouth.

"I know what you want to say." Gu Wenxuan raised his right hand, "At this point, I don't believe he still can't see that his eldest grandson is not very filial.

Among the dozen or so grandchildren, it can be said that we two are the best off. We have money and connections, but we also have a fatal weakness.

As long as we cherish our reputation, we dare not be unfilial. If we loosen our grip a little, it will be enough for him to enjoy his old age. We will become the last resort he wants to keep. "

Zhou Banxia had to admit that Gu Wenxuan's guess was extremely accurate. The question was, "Are you overestimating the old man? Does he have such a far-sighted vision?"

"Three cobblers can be better than one Zhuge Liang. The old lady next to him will persuade him, and his great grandfather and second grandfather will also remind him from time to time.

Maybe he would not listen to it before, but now is a different time. What is the situation now? The separation agreement is there. What can he get according to the separation agreement?
With this year's welfare difference, people like him, even if no one around him reminds him repeatedly, he will not worry about how to maximize his benefits..." (End of this chapter)
