That is why it is said that his father-in-law is not comparable to the one in his previous life. Gu Wenxuan decided to be an obedient son-in-law and agreed decisively.

As soon as his father-in-law and brother-in-law turned around and left, Gu Wenxuan hurriedly pulled his father away.

If you don’t leave now, your great grandfather will come out and you won’t be able to leave again.

After handing over the position of clan leader to his eldest son, the old man became confused and would always talk to his nephew about how to be a clan elder whenever he caught him.

Is it easy to be a clan elder?
There were only four clan elders who took office.

All of them are chosen from respected elders, or heads of families with wealthy families who can help their brothers and are kind and generous to their clansmen.

The clan elders fell into the trap as soon as they were tricked, and the eldest family even suspended their studies and left. If there is trouble, even if you, as the clan elder, ignore it, the clan leader will let you handle it.

"Are you afraid of your great grandfather?"

"I'm not afraid of that. You are still young, don't be a clan elder. My great grandfather's lineage already has a clan leader, and my second grandfather is also a clan elder.

You go up, and the three of you have the final say on everything. It would be bad if Second Grandfather doesn't step down, so it would be more appropriate to hand it over to Second Grandfather's sons."

Since ancient times, imperial power has never extended to the countryside, and the say of local clan leaders and elders has been greater than that of officials in the yamen.

If it were before, Gu Erzhu would be tempted, but his Liulang is now a quasi-juren, after all, and who in the surrounding area would dare to bully his children?

He definitely doesn't want to be the clan elder anymore. Is he stupid? Everyone knows that his San Ya has a rich family background, and they just want him to be the boss and pay more money.

Gu Wenxuan saw that his father walked very fast before he could finish his words. He was so happy that he quickly caught up with his father and asked him what to do with his son who was still left in the village.

What’s the use of a son? His mother is the most important.

The father and son chatted and laughed and returned to the village house first. As expected, Liu was still there, but Ma Shan had already taken the child back to the manor.

She will come here in the morning tomorrow, New Year's Eve, and will have to stay for at least two or three nights. While waiting for the child's father, she looked around the house again.

Especially the east and west wing rooms.

One is that my grandson is not even a hundred days old, and the other is that my daughter-in-law is still pregnant and cannot stand the cold. I don’t know if they can survive the sudden absence of Earth Dragon.

"mother,--"

"Liu Lang is back. Mother has thought about it and decided that you guys should stay here for a night tomorrow night and go back to sleep. This will also allow your father and I to have some peace and quiet for a few days."

What does that mean? Gu Wenxuan almost didn't react. "We'll talk about it later. I agree. My wife won't agree to leave you and my father behind."

Liu looked at Gu Erzhu.

Gu Erzhu, who was ignored by his wife, turned his head away quickly, "Why didn't you look at me just now? Now you find me to stand on your side."

Liu laughed.

"Listen to Liu Lang. We can't just leave Doctor Song and the midwife alone. There's no room for too many people here. Let's talk about it later."

When Liu heard this, she thought so too and said with a smile, "It's no use slacking off for a few days. Let's go back first. Do you want to take a look in your room before going back?"

Gu Wenxuan shook his head decisively, "You have arranged everything, why should I worry about my son? What else should I look forward to? That is, mother, we have people at home, just give the order, don't let yourself get tired."

"I know. Why are you tired?"

Having said that, the mother still enjoys her eldest son's filial piety. Walking between the two father and son, the smile on her face looks so familiar.

coming.

This makes the man not want a wife, but a son.

He looked at her, then turned to look at his son and chatted with him. Gu Erzhu looked at Liu, who insisted on not getting on the carriage and wanted her eldest son to walk with her back, and said, "Listen, your eldest son is here. Can you handle it?"

As it turned out, Liu was really busy enough to just walk between her two sons, looking at the eldest son on the left and the oldest son on the right, which was just right.

Gu Erlang and Gu Wenxuan were chatting with their mother. The two brothers did not neglect their father who was walking in front of them, and they talked and laughed along the way.

West Road Courtyard.

Light the lamps early.

Zhou Banxia stayed in the boardroom in the front yard, too lazy to go back to her room. She said she would wait for the second young master to come back before going back together, but in fact, after reading the letter, she had been counting money.

This year is definitely a bumper year.

Today is the 29th day of the lunar year. Except for the tofu shop which needs to work for two or three days before the fifth day of the first lunar month due to demand, all other workshops have been closed.

In other words, as of today, all accounts have been cleared and the funds in the accounts have been gathered together, so we can actually determine how much profit we can earn this year.

It is not the paper money registered before, but real silver notes and real gold and silver. The income at the end of the month and a half is more than expected.

How can it not make people happy.

Apart from this, Dajiang's marriage has basically been settled. It will only take until after the New Year and the engagement ceremony. This marriage will be inevitable and it will be another great happy event.

To add to the good news, my aunt also mentioned in the letter that my eldest sister-in-law (Mrs. Zhou)'s pulse showed that the baby was a boy, so my uncle would have his eldest grandson by February next year at the latest.

When Gu Wenxuan came back and heard the concierge report that the Second Young Madam was in the side hall in the front yard, he was not surprised.

Because of his wife's obsessive-compulsive disorder, she was not sure that everything was arranged properly and that she could go home and celebrate the New Year. She couldn't even enjoy the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve.

Furthermore, besides the piles of letters, the gentlemen must have asked Dajiang to bring back something for his wife, which should still be placed in the boardroom.

His wife, a love-deprived child, must want to show him how much her uncle and aunt love her.

After making sure that Zhou Banxia had returned to her room mid-afternoon, Gu Wenxuan stretched out his long legs and walked quickly towards the side hall in the front yard.

really!

Before he even got close, he heard a familiar melody - it was his wife, who was in a good mood and humming a tune with a cheerful and festive rhythm.

"I'm back. Does your wrist hurt?"

"Fortunately, I pulled Brother Wen Yu over."

“Is the ancestral hall very lively?”

"Don't move, sit still, I'll be in right away." Gu Wenxuan walked to the door but hadn't gone in yet. When he heard the noise, he knew that his wife, who was behind the screen on one side of the boardroom, was in a hurry to come out.

"I heard from mother that you will have lunch at the ancestral hall today and asked me not to send the food over, so I sent someone to deliver snacks this afternoon. Did you have any?"

Gu Wenxuan untied the ribbon of his cloak and hung it on the rack. He turned around and saw Zhou Banxia walking out from behind the screen, still without making any sound.

She was holding her big belly and walking on tiptoe without worrying about losing balance. He was so scared that he didn't care whether he was cold or not and rushed over in a hurry.

Impulsively, he took a step forward, stretched out his arms, and held them with both hands, "Ancestor, stretch out your hands, I'll pull your arms, not your hands, but your arms, my hands are still cold."

"Hahaha... I counted. I only walked five steps. If it was more than that, I would have stood still. Where's the hand warmer? Didn't I ask you to bring one?"

Why would a grown man use a hand warmer? Gu Wenxuan shook his head, "I gave it to my mother. Stop changing the subject. Why are you alone? Where are Maidong and the others?" (End of this chapter)
