Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 775 Where else can I see you?

Where else could she see a similar map? When her uncle mentioned where his house in the capital was, he wanted to let her see the map, but she changed the subject.

After all, it sounds like it's in the capital, in the imperial city, and it's the eldest daughter of the eldest princess who married into the Duke of Liang's mansion, and it's the residence of some princess or county lady.

The identities of the successive owners of that house were truly terrifying. How could she, a peasant girl with no blood relationship to the royal family, have the nerve to live in that mansion?

Even now, her uncle loves her and always gives her all the good things in the name of the master's last words, but isn't there a saying like that?

——No reward without merit!

Zhou Banxia shook his head as he thought about it, and continued to recall whether he had seen a similar map of the capital in Gao's mansion. "No, I can be sure that I have never seen it in Madam Gao's study."

The maps of that time and modern maps are completely different things. Anyone can buy modern maps and download electronic maps, but what about maps of that time?

Or a map of the capital?

What a joke.

How big is the difference between it and the Nine-Border Map and the Border Defense Map?

No matter how stubborn Madam Gao was, as a woman she would not casually place such a map in her study, let alone let her see it.

"I didn't see any maps, including in the old lady's inner room bookcase." To show that his memory would never appear, Zhou Banxia reiterated it.

Gu Wenxuan nodded with amusement and stroked her frowning brows with his fingers. "I just said it casually, but you took it so seriously, didn't you?"

"You're making me happy?" Zhou Banxia glared at him in reproach. "Childish! Don't you think you're asking me what I haven't even asked you about what you saw at your uncle's place?"

That’s too much!
As the teacher's most proud disciple, the teacher would show him any map he had or explain to him so that he could have some understanding of the territory of Daliang State.

Gu Wenxuan smiled proudly, "What do you think? The master basically tells me everything he knows about his disciple. I haven't seen what other good things he has.

Yes, I'm afraid there are only some heirlooms left from your Zhou family, like martial arts skills, and if there are, the master has basically passed them on to me, so I can practice on my own."

Zhou Banxia couldn't help but laugh when she heard that and stretched out her hand to pull his earlobe, "Yes, you are the best, you are the most favored, do you want to marry another wife and see if your uncle and aunt will prepare a betrothal gift for you?"

"Hiss, how dare you say that!" Gu Wenxuan was shocked, "Take me as Dajiang? If I had this idea, sir would break our legs so that we can't even crawl!
The gentleman is different from Uncle Ma. Uncle Ma openly used examples in front of our parents to warn our eldest brother not to be treacherous and ungrateful.

By the way, did my sister-in-law tell you today that her father bought the wasteland in Dongkou Village? My goodness, she was afraid that we would rob it, and there was no news at all.

He said he wanted to buy that piece of wasteland in the first half of last year, but not only my husband and I, but even my parents hadn't heard about it. It was only after he went to the government office to sign the deed the day before yesterday that he made it public today.

I went out during the day, and before I came back I just wanted to stop by to see what the village entrance next to Ma's house looked like now. What a coincidence!"

Zhou Banxia listened quietly, but there was no further news. She knew that her man wanted her to take over the conversation. She turned around and asked in a flattering manner, "Who did you meet from the Ma family?" "Brother Dahu."

"Maybe Uncle Ma has begun to let his eldest son, Brother Dahu, take care of the affairs, instead of Uncle Ma and his wife intentionally not telling our family about it.

Uncle Ma is a nice guy. Besides, he might not be afraid that we would take over the wasteland. After all, Dongkou Village is still there, so why would we buy it?

The Ma family should be planning to build another breeding farm on that wasteland, and connect that end with the fields in Dongkou Village and this end for easier management.

After all, if they want to expand their territory, they can only find land on the east side, which is closer to the foot of Majiaao Mountain. To the south is Lijia Village, and there should be no wasteland for them to build a breeding farm.

If we go out here, the largest wasteland to the south is under my father's name, and it is also under the name of our village. The remaining wasteland in Lijia Village will not be transferred."

That's true. The market there has now grown to a considerable scale. Who would be stupid? Everyone in Lijia Village is eager to drive out the non-local residents living near the market.

Otherwise, my sister-in-law's yard and fields would not be a market place now, and the original family would not have been able to sell them and move to Dongkou Village. Even if the grandson wanted to buy a residential plot when he grew up, he would not have a share.

In fact, this is already a disguised form of "expulsion". The Ma family was right to choose to look for land to the east to expand their territory. Dongkou Village, where people of various surnames gathered, is a good place to live for a long time.

"As for Majiaao, from what I heard from my eldest sister-in-law, it seems that not only her family wants to move down, but now there are almost several families with children who want to move down the mountain and settle down."

At this point, Zhou Banxia thought for a moment and brought up one thing, "Auntie Ma joked with my mother during the first month of the year, saying that if they had known that Gujiazhuang was a Feng Shui treasure land, my sister-in-law and her uncles would have pooled their money to buy a few acres of land and moved down to live together.

My mother also asked me whether we owed Aunt Ma's family a favor for buying this land.

I said no, I was just joking. When we bought this place, my father already had dozens of acres of prime land here, and it was Uncle Ma who first thought of exchanging land with my father.

Besides, we didn’t take advantage of the Ma family when we exchanged land with them twice, and some of the land was bought from Dongkou Village in exchange with the Ma family.”

"That's right!" Gu Wenxuan responded subconsciously, and after thinking for a while, "It's not good to have relatives living close by. Since you mentioned a Feng Shui treasure land, you must have some ideas.

It’s not that Aunt Ma is short-sighted. She just spent all her life savings and felt a little unstable for a while.

In addition, the land and shop purchased with the savings are not in the name of her and her husband as before, so she is probably worried about the filial piety of her son and daughter-in-law.

On the one hand, they are worried that if they divide the family assets among their sons, they will no longer have the final say on everything. On the other hand, they are afraid that if they divide the family assets among their sons, they will get less and will not be able to help him much.

She was worried about everything, and seeing that we were the only wealthy relatives, she couldn't help but think about what favors we owed her and Uncle Ma, so she could use them as a trump card.

For example, their breeding farm was divided among his sons, but Uncle Ma still has the job of purchasing oil for you, and Uncle Ma has already said that he will not divide the business among his sons.

I guess even Aunt Ma was thinking that as long as she and her husband could keep this job purchasing oil and fat, they could earn money, and they wouldn't have to worry about their sons and daughters-in-law being unfilial even when they got older.

In addition, we remember that I stayed at her house before, and we also gave you this Feng Shui treasure land. My elder brother and his wife are still their daughter and son-in-law, which is enough to support them. "
