Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 537 Take the initiative
There are many people protecting Zhou Banxia. Even if Gu Wenxuan doesn't answer the question, there are still Gu Erzhu and Liu. The most amazing thing is that there are Old Lady Gu and Gu Yuling, mother and daughter.

"Of course."

As soon as Zhou Banxia finished her words, Gu Yuling, who was laughing so hard that her body was shaking, reached out to cover her mouth, and Old Mrs. Gu also laughed and hit her old son.

"San Ya, please ask your grandma to stop. Your grandma is going to beat your uncle up." Gu Lao Si said with a smile, "Now I, your son, am no longer your mother's precious baby."

"It's time to give up the throne." Gu Erzhu shook his head and smiled, "Jiulang is more likable than you. As the second scholar in our family, it should depend on who will take the imperial examination first, Balang or Jiulang.

Jiulang is much more stable than you were when you were a child. His sixth brother asked him a few days ago, and he answered very well. Even though I didn't understand, I could tell that he studied very hard."

Upon hearing this, Gu Laosi turned to look at his nephew.

Gu Wenxuan nodded, "Yes, it's very good. He can answer any question. He has worked hard. When he starts to study the Four Books and Five Classics formally, he won't be far behind."

Gu Laosi turned around and looked at his niece's wife again.

Zhou Banxia was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, "Uncle, you want to know how Ninth Brother compares to Xiaohe. You are worried about asking Brother Liulang. I have an idea, right?"

"No, if you were a hard-to-talk, fussy kid, I wouldn't even joke with you. I believe what you say more than Liu Lang."

Gu Erzhu looked up at the sky in silence.

"It's really hard to compare. Xiao He started to learn very early, so his reading progress was also much earlier. Xiao He has now started to learn the Four Books.

As for my ninth brother, it’s not that he is not smart. Studying is like building a house. You have to lay a good foundation first. My ninth brother is now just like laying the foundation.

Once he has laid a solid foundation, it will be easier for him to learn the Four Books and Five Classics. We can't be impatient at this time. With Ninth Brother's qualifications, he can formally learn the Four Books in two years at most.

When he officially starts to study the Four Books and Five Classics, his reading progress may not be slower than Xiaohe's. Some students have strong comprehension abilities and can understand things quickly.

Similarly, some students only know how to study hard, and no matter how much the teacher teaches, they still cannot understand. But my ninth brother doesn't know that, but he has a very useful little brain.

If you're worried, wait until your ninth brother and my great grandfather study the Four Books and Five Classics, and then we'll see. If there's not much progress, we can think of another way.

Even if Brother Liulang is busy reviewing his lessons and cannot teach Brother Jiu, as long as you are willing to let him not be around, my husband and I will do our best to find a good academy for him.

I just want them to grow up in a bad way. I would rather have a child with average talent, but as long as they are diligent, they are good children. If they have bad character, no matter how great our reputation is, it will be useless.”

This silly child is not that stupid, he even knows not to grow crooked! Gu Erzhu kicked the smiling Gu Laosi with a helpless look.

Got my wish!
"Uncle San, the same goes for my eighth brother. Brother Liu has already said that he will not stand idly by. 'A single flower does not make spring, but a hundred flowers in full bloom make the whole garden full of spring.'

Whether a family can be strong or not cannot be achieved by relying on Brother Liu alone. A single tree cannot make a forest. No matter how strong an individual's ability is, it is limited in the end."

Gu Sanzhu was extremely excited.

Although he couldn't understand some of the words, San Ya was a righteous child like his second brother. She remembered Jiulang and had not forgotten Balang.

"I, I, Sanya——"

Zhou Banxia quickly smiled at the stuttering Gu Sanzhu to comfort him, "I know, Uncle San, you don't need to tell me, I can guess what you want to say.

We are one family, not two families. If we split up, we are no longer one family. My father only has you brothers and sisters. Who is closer than us?" "Well said, San Ya, let's have a bowl of soup!" Gu Lao Si shouted and was beaten. Several fists came down at once, and he was so scared that he covered his head and ran away desperately.

"It's unfair. No matter how unreasonable I am, I won't let Sanya drink alcohol. Isn't there honey water that can replace alcohol? Sanya, don't you think so?"

"Yes, I heard you say to drink a bowl, not a cup. Just drink a big bowl of white wine--" Zhou Banxia couldn't help laughing.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very good.

Gu Wenxuan could see that his wife had a good sleep in the morning and was in good spirits. She had no intention of taking a nap since she took the first step out of the West Courtyard.

Fortunately, the snowflakes outside were no longer small, but began to fall in large flakes. The old lady could not stay any longer and offered to go back.

"Why leave? It's especially hard to leave when the snow is so heavy. The pigsty at home might collapse in the middle of the night. I'll send someone to reinforce it. I'm not going back, grandma.

If you are worried about my grandfather, I will send a carriage to pick him up. If he is worried about the old house, how about we trick him to come here first?"

Alas, the old man can’t act recklessly anymore. The second son has become estranged from him, and he can’t push Liu Lang away anymore. When he can’t walk anymore, only San Ya, his granddaughter-in-law, can he rely on.

Old Lady Gu patted Zhou Banxia's hand with emotion and said, "Your grandfather hasn't woken up yet, wait until he regrets it from the bottom of his heart.

By then, I would have put everything aside, and I couldn't be driven away. Now even I have to be partial to them, because there are a lot of things to do at home, not just the pigpen.

Just like your father said, your aunt wants me to take care of you for two more years. If I don't go back today, the snow is heavy and won't stop until dark, and the family will be in chaos.

Your aunt-in-law is not a person who plans things for herself. If I don't keep an eye on her, Sanlang's wife will have to raise two children alone, and Silang's wife is about to give birth.

And your grandfather has a lot of things to do. He needs help everywhere right now. I, with my old bones, have to help at this critical moment.

You should listen to your mother at home and stay at home if you can. Have fun with Hu Niu. I will come and chat with you in a few days when I am free."

"Then you should slow down too. You can still leave in time when the carriage arrives. Mom, hurry up. My grandma ran away. Haha, she's making me anxious!

Mom, it will be the same if we send her there later. Please go slower. My sister-in-law ran out. My grandmother is being held by my sister-in-law. She can’t run away now.”

There was no need for Ma Shan to run over and grab Old Lady Gu. Even if Zhou Banxia grabbed Old Lady Gu by himself, Old Lady Gu would be worried that the pulling would hurt Zhou Banxia's stomach.

Gu Erzhu and his sister Gu Yuling did not say anything either. They just watched the fun happily from the sidelines. They felt uneasy when they saw Gu Wenxuan circling around Zhou Banxia and standing anywhere.

Especially when Ma Shan ran out and approached, Gu Wenxuan finally found the right position, but had to move to the right to avoid bumping into the uncle and the sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, our mother's place."

Ma Shan understood and quickly turned around and ran towards the warm room, only to see her mother-in-law carrying a bundle and about to leave the warm room. "Is this it, mother?"

Liu nodded with a smile, and also shrunk her neck like her eldest daughter-in-law, and whispered softly, "Yes, that's it. It's hot inside, and the food is still outside."

"San Ya asked to send it over later. I guess she forgot what Dad said. My grandma said a few nice words and she wanted to move everything over again."

"Don't be afraid, mother turned around and frowned, she doesn't dare to do it anymore."

"Hahaha……"
