Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 526: Some Abnormality
Drink some wine and feel sleepy now, drunk? Gu Wenxuan did not forget to observe the surrounding situation while walking and chatting. When he heard this, he subconsciously took a good look.

His elder brother's face was still normally rosy, not the flush from being drunk, but his eyes, haha, in less than a quarter of an hour, they were blurry.

"What are you looking at?"

“How many fingers are these?”

"I'm not drunk, I'm just sleepy."

No wonder he was complaining and grumbling abnormally today. Gu Wenxuan laughed secretly and quickly turned back to look for someone. Fortunately, Huiming was still following him.

After watching Huiming accompany Gu Erlang to the East Courtyard, he looked in the direction of the Main Courtyard, thought about it and decided to do the same as Gu Erlang, and turned back to his own West Courtyard.

The West Courtyard has a considerable area and, like the East Courtyard, has a main courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, there is a side hall in the front and a meeting hall for the board of directors and guests. After passing through the hanging flower gate, the corridor in the courtyard is connected to the real private residence.

The main house has five main rooms and two side rooms, three side rooms on the east and west sides, a flower hall, an embroidery room, and a row of back rooms that are temporarily used as laboratories and warehouses.

With sufficient funds and enough manpower, the new yard has already been tidied up. In addition, Mai Huang led people to clean the yard this morning, making it even cleaner and more elegant.

Living in a big house is comfortable, but what makes Gu Wenxuan most satisfied is this courtyard within a courtyard that truly belongs to him and his wife.

Entering through the gate of the courtyard, he learned from the gatekeeper that Zhou Banxia had returned a quarter of an hour ago.

At this time period, his wife could not be in the front meeting room, or the flower hall in the back, let alone in the west wing room which served as the inner study.

Walk through the front yard, pass the hanging flower gate, and go to the main house from the side corridor.

Opposite the entrance of the main house is the main hall, on the left are the green gauze cabinet and the canopy bed, and on the right is the suite warm room.

Gu Wenxuan thought that there was no need to call his wife at this time so that he could identify the sound and find the right direction. At this time of year and this season, he just needed to go to the right and find the fireplace.

Zhou Banxia was half leaning on the thickly cushioned platform in front of the fireplace, reading in one hand and chewing a pear in the other, looking indescribably lazy and leisurely.

"came back?"

"You should at least look up at me." Gu Wenxuan walked quickly to the fireplace. "What kind of book is this that can make you forget about your man?"

Zhou Banxia showed the front of the simply bound thread-bound book in his hand, "It's Dajiang's notes. I want to flip through them while waiting for you to come back. I'm only halfway through it."

"It's still cold after just coming in from outside. Wait a minute. You can stop wasting time and read the Four Books and Five Classics instead of flipping through miscellaneous books. Do you want to take the imperial examination?"

Zhou Banxia pointed in the direction of the west wing and said, "I just saw Dajiang brought the notes you placed on the table. I just wanted to see what was written on them."

"Dajiang is thoughtful. I flipped through it before and took very detailed notes."

"It should be, it's also beneficial to him. Everything has been done. Could your grandfather have run away because of something the old man said?" Zhou Banxia looked at Gu Wenxuan and waited for an answer.

"No, the old man is no match for him. That's it. He caught up with him before we even reached Lijia Village." Gu Wenxuan felt that his body should be warm.

He quickly threw off his slippers and went up to the platform. “I originally wanted to pick you up at the main courtyard before I came back, but I heard from my eldest brother that the old lady hadn’t returned yet, so I guessed you must have come back.”

"It's not because the old lady is here, it's because of my fourth cousin. She always wants to talk to me, but my eldest sister-in-law is afraid that I will be interrupted by her tricks. It's so awkward, so I quickly slipped away." Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, "Why are you embarrassed? Isn't Silang's wife about to give birth? Why did she go out? Is the old lady on good terms with her now?"

"Very good?" Zhou Banxia laughed and shook his head, "Just okay. The third cousin's child peed and pooped, so she left tactfully, so the fourth cousin is the only one left.

Look, Dalang’s wife didn’t come today for some reason, and Wulang’s wife is pregnant, but it seems like it’s not even three months yet so it’s not convenient to congratulate her, so who are the rest?

Even the eldest aunt had a rare trip to the city, so she asked her son and daughter-in-law to bring gifts. If the old lady doesn’t watch over the fourth cousin’s wife together with her, who else can do it?”

In this way, the feeling is different from that of the eldest brother. It's not that the old lady is ignorant and doesn't care, but that Silang's wife is fooling around and looking through the gift list.

Gu Wenxuan thought about it and was too lazy to analyze this issue. Instead, he asked about the gift list, "You left the gift list with our mother. Didn't she ask you to bring it back?"

"Yes, I'll coax mom and wait until tomorrow. I need to have a good sleep first. Haha, mom is even scarier. I quickly asked my sister-in-law to come back with me to rest."

"Great! No wonder you run so fast."

"I just want to say that my mother knows everything, and she cooperates with me, so I can sneak out." Zhou Banxia nodded and smiled, "That's what I meant.

But what was more surprising was that Wan Niang was a clever girl. She took advantage of the gifts given by her great grandfather and second grandfather's families to pull the old lady over and want to see the book of favors.

At that time, the gift list and the favor registration book were on the table. She was somewhat resentful that her man couldn't even borrow a single word from you, and wanted to let the old lady see how stingy we are.

She is much smarter than her mother-in-law. If our family gives more of the gifts we receive to the old lady, she will not suffer any loss and will also be able to please the old lady.

I ignored her, but my sister-in-law immediately asked her with a smile, why do you know so much? The gifts they gave were not more than yours.

Last time when Liu Lang got the first case in the hospital and held a buffet, your mother-in-law asked San Ya for a gift, and she only gave a 20-cent red envelope. You must know about this, right? "

Hearing Zhou Banxia imitating Ma Shan's tone, Gu Wenxuan laughed, "What's the old lady's reaction?"

"My mother was talking to her at the time, but the old lady must have heard what my sister-in-law said, but she didn't react.

After all, twenty cents is not a small amount. When I offered tea the next day after I came home, my aunt-in-law gave me a red envelope with twenty cents on it, the same as before.

It's a give-and-take relationship among people. No matter how the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law give me gifts, I just need to reciprocate. Who can say that I am stingy?

Like when her family bought a shop before, they wanted to accept favors even if they didn't treat us to a meal. So I just followed the example of the opening of the workshop and asked their eldest son to give whatever gift he wanted and I would return the favor.

Look at what the old lady said. She didn’t even mention the fact that my aunt-in-law was talking nonsense to others. She was afraid that I would tell her about the gift she gave before.”

"If she dares to talk nonsense, let her change the money. She said she would pay us at least 20 taels of silver by the end of the year. Did you ask Silang's wife about this today?"

Zhou Banxia couldn't help but laugh out loud at the teasing. "How could it be possible? I'm scared to death here. I'm just afraid that she will quarrel with my sister-in-law. It's not that I'm afraid of losing the quarrel, but what if she has a premature birth?"

"Smart, my wife is really smart," Gu Wenxuan laughed. "So she scared you, who is really smart, and quickly took my sister-in-law away?"

"Yes, we lost this round. After we came out, my sister-in-law and I were worried about mother, so we had to wait for Dahua's family to go in before we went back to our respective courtyards."

"So, they hadn't returned before you came back?" Gu Wenxuan frowned unhappily, "What is the old lady doing? She is making things difficult for Dad again."
