Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 616 Want to choke me to death?

Gu Wenxuan met his wife's gaze without any guilt. Look at my honest eyes, I really didn't lie to you. You can just endure it in the county school.

Zhou Banxia didn't quite believe it.

How could a well-known number one truant be so obedient that he could stay in the county school for half a month without even going back to his home which was less than a cup of tea away?

Is this still him, Gu Wenxuan?
There's nothing good about being a loner; those are all just excuses.

He really thought she didn't know that in the past half month, at least five members of the guard team were not training in the back mountain.

Zhou Banxia glanced at Gu Wenxuan with a half-smile, shaking the wooden box in his arms, "What's in this?"

"The household register is the household registration certificate, the household registration certificate of your mother's family."

No wonder this wooden box looked so familiar. It was the box her father used to store household certificates and land deeds. "My mother stole it for you so soon?"

"Where? I'm looking for Xiaohe." Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing. "The little guy is going to get beaten tonight. I asked Zhiming to bring a note over, and he believed it."

Hearing this, Zhou Banxia hurriedly called Mai Huang in and asked if her younger brother had come to visit her during her lunch break, or sent a servant to deliver a message?

Sure enough, it was the servant that Xiaohe had sent before, and it was Mai Huang who met the servant in person. It was also Mai Huang who confirmed in person that she had mentioned that she would need the household card in the near future.

That's what she said, the brother that Zhou Banxia had spent so much time teaching could be a little fool, and the big river is not as smart as the small river.

After Mai Huang left, Zhou Banxia raised his chin and smiled proudly at Gu Wenxuan, "Xiaohe, let alone anything else, you have memorized the Daliang Law by heart."

Gu Wenxuan laughed and thought, since you are already up, Mai Huang might as well have reported to you when I came back, or he could have waited until you summoned him before reporting to you.

What's more, the household registration certificate is quite important. It accurately records the place of origin, name of the household head, number of household members, male and female members, relationship with the household head, assets, etc.

For example, when transferring ownership of a shop, even if there is an acquaintance at the county government's household registration office and the owner does not need to be present in person, the household registration card will inevitably need to be updated and replaced.

Of course, this situation is not absolute. For example, if his wife inherited a considerable dowry from her master, there is no need for her to be present in person.

But also because there was an imperial decree, when the master took back the ancestral property, he directly transferred the dowry under the name of Master Zhou's mother to the name of his niece, his wife.

Later, when exchanging shops and farms for his wife, it was not appropriate for the official's wife to show up in public, so Chang Qing, who was appointed in advance as the dowry manager, just had to take her husband's business card.

This is why the master repeatedly reminded him, even during his trip to Zhoujia Village, to remember to report in advance once the indentures of Uncle Changqing's family were returned.

It has nothing to do with whether he is loyal or not. I am worried that if Uncle Chang Qing is not in charge of the dowry within the scope of the law, it would be inappropriate for him to buy the property on his own.

Therefore, he asked his husband to help change the candidate to Gu Dahua. After all, Gu Dahua would be going out more often in the future, and he was not afraid that Gu Dahua would abandon his wife and children and run away with the banknotes.

Thinking of this, Gu Wenxuan got back to the point, "Since Gu Dahua will be inspecting the manors in various places on your behalf next year, I asked you to help change it so that he can go to the government office to transfer the ownership."

Gu Wenxuan had mentioned this matter when he came back last time, so Zhou Banxia was not surprised. He nodded to show that he understood and subconsciously turned his head to glance at the window.

She listened carefully to the noise outside and made sure no one else could hear the couple's whisper. "His wife is also good at housekeeping. Gu Dachang's family, Jiaxing is already your servant, it's not good to have too much power, so Aunt Lan intends to slowly let Gu Dahua take over some of her work.

I think this is a good idea. This child—" Zhou Banxia touched her belly, "no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, we will assign Gu Dahua's children to take care of it.

It just so happened that their children were young. Firstly, they were easier to discipline, and secondly, in their eyes, being able to serve our children was a respectable job.

In addition to these two families, we need to pick two or three more families, preferably those who have sons serving in the guard corps.

Gu Dali's family is really small. Even if they get married at the end of the year, there will only be three of them. It will be too early to wait for his child to be born. I'll leave this issue to you."

Gu Wenxuan readily agreed, but after a moment of hesitation, he decided not to mention the several families that he had listed as candidates so far.

Nowadays, it is more important to let my wife give birth to the baby smoothly without any problems, or to let her work less and avoid it as much as possible.

It was time for afternoon tea, and he didn't want to bring it up anymore. At worst, he could wait until the baby was born to apologize. It would be better to just say something that didn't require her to think.

"As for your father, I have already discussed it with him. Even though he has not agreed, I have said everything I should say. It is better to transfer the shop to your father's name."

As he said that, Gu Wenxuan quickly stuffed a silver spoon into Zhou Banxia's hand and said, "If he asks you for the household register, just say you don't know. I will check the statement with Xiaohe.

These are small matters that won't take up much of my time. I'll arrange them. Ah, open your mouth and drink some soup first. I've also found out about the annual gift for the county school teacher.

Including classmates with whom I have personal connections, I have even prepared a gift list and handed it to Aunt Lan. She will review it with our mother. Your intervention would seem like you don't trust our mother's ability to handle the matter.

I took another bite of the bun and smelled the fragrance. Ah, open your mouth, my good wife, so obedient! Listen to me, I won’t interfere with the next New Year’s gift——"

You want to choke me?
Zhou Banxia suppressed her laughter and picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, "I know, the big New Year gift has been given out, and the rest can be done according to the prepared gift list.

Besides, I'm eager for my mother to take over, so why would I rush to intervene? If she can even take care of the return gift for me, it would be even better. I can just take care of the food and drink, which is much less of a worry."

"That's right!" Gu Wenxuan nodded incoherently and swallowed the food in his mouth, "Eat yours, it's not good if it gets cold. One, two... I will be at home for eight days at most this time.

I'd rather stay at home. You don't have to go to the county school before the New Year. I can stay at home with you at least until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year. If anything happens, there's always time for me to handle it at home.

Now, let's take good care of the child. Once it's born, we won't have any more children. No matter if it's a boy or a girl, we'll train him well. Once we have an heir, I won't take part in the imperial examinations."

Don't be so sure, you'll end up hitting yourself in the face! Zhou Banxia glanced at him with amusement and continued to drink her porridge and eat her dumplings.

But she had to admit that she felt a lot more relaxed with Gu Wenxuan at home.

When he was at home, at least a few maids would stay by her side all the time, and there would even be someone keeping watch outside at night.

Even the fact that her father would definitely come to her to ask for the household registration card back, as expected, was stopped by her father-in-law who found excuses in the front yard when night fell.

Her father thought she came so late at night for some unknown reason and said he wanted to go to bed early. Suddenly he heard her shouting, "Dad, come quickly, our house deeds and land deeds are missing."
