Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 688 Some People Don’t Care
Some people were not careful. When Mai Huang stepped forward to lend a hand, he was reporting to Gu Wenxuan what he was busy with this morning. Before he could finish, someone arrived.

Mai Huang discovered that their son-in-law walked very slowly every time he went out, but walked very fast when he came back, almost as fast as running.

I have to remind Mai Dong and the other three about this later, so as not to offend the Second Young Master, who would look down on them and look down on them for being in the way.

It's good to have a son-in-law who treats their daughter like the apple of his eye, but he always feels that it's not good that the four of them snatched the girl away!

"I'm back. Why didn't you ask Maidong and the others to wake me up earlier? It's already past the hour of Mao. My parents will think I don't want to go back to live here."

"Not really. If you didn't come to see me, I would still be at home." Gu Wenxuan really wanted to wave away the maid, but his wife seemed to prefer Maidong to serve her.

Seeing that Maidong returned his wife to him with great tact, he stepped aside to organize the clothes and accessories his wife was going to wear, and had to give up.

As for Mai Huang, it must be said that among the four maids around his wife, Mai Huang was the most discerning. She slipped away early and went to the bathroom to get hot water.

"Besides, mother has already said that you and sister-in-law can still make it in time at noon. Everything that needs to be prepared is ready, and brother and sister-in-law are still in the East Courtyard right now."

Hearing that Ma Shan was still staying in the East Courtyard, Zhou Banxia felt relieved. Then when Mai Huang came out to say that the hot water was ready, he asked Gu Wenxuan to take a shower and change clothes first.

Today, all the family members, young and old, were required to wear neat clothes, but unlike him, his wife could go later as he still had to bathe and change clothes before going to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors.

In fact, he had already washed his hair and took a bath in there last night, but only his wife knew about this clearly.

Gu Wenxuan didn't procrastinate.

He asked Mai Huang and Mai Dong, who had just come out of the bathroom, to look after their Second Young Madam, and then he took his undershirt, trousers and a long robe and hurried to the bathroom.

When I came out again, breakfast was already served.

"Don't wait for me, eat first."

"There's enough time."

"I know it's not too late, but today we have to worship our ancestors, which is different from the past. Great grandfather and his family must be in the ancestral hall by now. It would be disrespectful to be late too late.

You go meet up with Dad and the old man first. I still need to dress up. Don't worry, I will be full and go back to the village with my sister-in-law in the carriage."

It’s not early, but there’s no need to rush. The clan leaders and elders will arrive at the ancestral hall very early, but don’t they have to wait for all households to arrive and place offerings?
After the offerings are arranged and the incense and candles are lit, people from outside start to enter. It is around nine o'clock before they go in, kowtow three times and bow nine times, burn incense and paper money.

By the time the firecrackers go off, it will be noon and everyone can go back to their homes. In other words, it doesn't matter whether his wife can arrive before noon.

Especially since you are a double-sister, if you want to go outside the ancestral hall to watch the fun, you won't be allowed to get close today, just like when he went to the grave yesterday, his parents didn't let him mention it in front of his wife.

According to custom, whether it is the Qingming Festival or the New Year's Eve, pregnant women, infants, and frail and elderly people must all avoid it.

Look, the eldest brother said early in the morning that the eldest sister-in-law would take Xiao Suocheng and his wife to the village house later, but his mother accompanied his father to the village early in the morning.

You two unfilial sons, you still think you are right!
Zhou Banxia burst out laughing and didn't bother to say more. He followed his wishes and ate together quickly, while thinking about what arrangements had been made in the past two days that had not yet been given.

After the meal, while asking Gu Dachang's family to keep the house safe before leaving, Zhou Banxia reiterated that they should entertain Chen Wenpo well.

Doctor Lin and Doctor Song had agreed to accompany Doctor Dong to celebrate the New Year, but Chen Wenpo was determined to stay and celebrate the New Year with Aunt Lan and her husband. In addition to entertaining Chen Wenpo, she also had to take good care of Aunt Lan and Uncle Chang Qing. The two of them were the ones who really helped her keep the house safe.

If it weren't for the need to take better care of her and help her train more people, the couple could have had their children and grandchildren around them on a day like today.

But also for the sake of her dowry and the shops she had outside, her two sons now help her keep an eye on them, one in the south and one in the north, and prevent her sons from taking control.

To be honest, there is really no need to be so cautious. If you wanted to take advantage, you should have done it earlier. Why wait until she took over the shop and farm from the dowry to start being so ambitious?

With her uncle around, it doesn't matter whose name these farms and shops are in. It's even less likely that the indentures will be in her name. There's also the possibility of waiting until they are old and unable to control their children and grandchildren.

But then again, what they did was also for the sake of their children and grandchildren. They should give the Buddha another face. With the friendship they have today, how could she be so heartless?

I just don't know whether their son and daughter-in-law can understand the painstaking efforts of Aunt Lan and her husband. From what my uncle said, the son takes after his father and his character is still good.

"Why not transfer Aunt Lan's eldest son back next year? It doesn't matter much whether their family is in the capital or not now—"

Zhou Banxia couldn't continue speaking and laughed at himself, "Look at me, I want to do something stupid again, forgetting that just because I think it's good, others may not think so."

"No, it's you who can't stand someone being sincere to you. You always want to repay them. If you don't repay them right away, you'll feel a lump in your throat the moment you think about it."

It's like borrowing money. Everyone has had a time when they are short of money and need to make some money. But you are very interesting. Except for student loans and mortgages, you never borrow money from others.

Ask you.

Owe someone a favor.

You were born stubborn and were beaten by the society. You have become smooth and versatile on the surface, but you are still the original you, my wife!

“Don’t move!” Seeing Gu Wenxuan reaching out to touch her head, Zhou Banxia was frightened. “I worked so hard to style my hair. Let’s not talk about it anymore. Are we going out now?”

"I'm not patting your head, it's because your place is about to disperse." Gu Wenxuan found a way out for himself, and without giving her a chance to refute, he turned around and walked out.

Zhou Banxia blinked in confusion.

Why did you leave her alone? Shouldn’t you help her out?
Since the offerings were prepared yesterday, even a set of daily necessities such as bedding and new clothes were placed in the house in the village, there was no need to bring much with me when I went out.

Of course, this is relative. Zhou Banxia and Xiao Suocheng still have a lot of things. Xiao Suocheng's urine has formed a big bag.

When Zhou Banxia saw this, she wanted to ask Ma Shan if she was planning to go back and live there for a month, but seeing that she had a lot of miscellaneous things, she decisively swallowed her words.

There is no way.

If she tried to stop them, her good husband would just take this one and that one. If she tried to stop him again, her uncle would get impatient and rush over to fight her.

"San Ya, listen to what our mother said. She told me that you and Liu Lang can only stay for one night at most. You have to come back tomorrow to fire the cannon. And the housekeeper will come to pay his respects to you and your wife, right?"

"What about you?"

"As for me, hahahaha...I can stay as long as I want!"
