Chapter 778 Absolutely
In the short term, the monitoring team will consist of just seven people! Gu Wenxuan decisively ignored the second half of Zhou Banxia's sentence. What do you mean by easy communication?

The establishment of this supervisory group was due to concerns that Gu Dahua had too much power, and that he alone was not able to control the steward of Yangzhou Prefecture.

If Gu Dahua still has difficulty communicating with the members of the monitoring team who he works with day and night, how can he expect to take over the position of Uncle Chang Qing's chief steward in the future?
It’s better to step down early and let the capable ones take over!

"That's right, Xuanzi, there is one thing. If Zhiming is not with you, you should first pick someone with better skills from the guard team to fill Zhiming's vacancy.

By the way, you also need to pick two younger ones from the reserve team, about eleven or twelve years old, just right to serve as your servants and run errands.

As for you, observe them and take the time to take good care of them for three or two years to see if you can train a steward who can be a confidant and backup for our children."

Gu Wenxuan nodded silently in agreement, thinking that when he was eleven or twelve years old, when he was able to take charge on his own, he would be just the right person to take over the responsibilities of the “big” generation.

Together with the ten manager seeds sown before, we can always pick out two or three people for the children to choose as future candidates, which is enough to resist the possibility that the "big" generation will bully the master one day.

"Besides, we are not suitable to buy anyone from this side anymore. Auntie Lan needs a little maid with sharp hands and feet, and I want to pick two to take good care of them——"

Gu Wenxuan didn't have time to follow his wife's thoughts and think carefully about it, nor did he have time to think about whether he should pick some young men from the Jiangnan farm to bring here for proper training.

Hearing this, he quickly interrupted and said, "Don't worry about it. Aunt Lan and her husband are more worried about our child than you are. It's impossible for her not to help the child and have available manpower.

Besides, I'm not trying to undermine your confidence, but when it comes to training little maids, you can't compare to Auntie Lan, she's more experienced, that's why the master sent her to help you."

Who do you look down on?
Zhou Banxia was speechless. She glared at him and didn't want to bother with this stinky man who trapped her in the backyard and couldn't even let her find something to do!

"Slow down, slow down, let me do it." Gu Wenxuan quickly took over the job of rolling up the paper from his wife, "Wife, my dear, are you angry?"

If you keep yelling, I’ll beat you! Zhou Banxia couldn’t help but reach out and pinch him after letting go, “Wait until I give birth to the baby, and you don’t let me go out again—”

"Absolutely impossible!" Gu Wenxuan took over the conversation with a very sure tone, "If it weren't for the fact that you just gave birth to a child and it's not easy to travel far, I would have wanted to take you to Jiangnan for a tour."

"Haha~"

"Haha~" How rare, he actually started to have a little temper. It shows that he was really bored at home. Well, plus he was a homebody in the past few years.

"I will definitely not lie to you this time. The next day after you finish your confinement, wherever you want to go, I will definitely cover for you and go out with you for a good walk."

Zhou Banxia heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, "That's not necessary, I'm not a child, I just suddenly felt that I had no freedom, forget it, I was just being pretentious.

It is not easy for many people to rest when they are pregnant. I have everything I need, and you don’t even go to the county school. You stay at home to accompany me and comfort me. This is such a blessing.

You should cherish your blessings, Zhou Banxia. If you do that again, you will be an idiot. Think about how hard you work and how tired you are. Don’t be so ungrateful...”

Gu Wenxuan felt sad and amused when hearing these words. He swore to have this child in his life, otherwise his wife would be under too much pressure!

"...You don't have to do anything just by lying down, but you're still not satisfied. What else do you want to do? Ha, you still want to do it yourself. Are you stupid? Brother Liulang, I want to go to the toilet." Zhou Banxia muttered to adjust her mentality. She was too lazy to wait for Gu Wenxuan to roll up the paper. She immediately reached out to touch it, and then reached out to ask him to accompany her to the toilet.

Gu Wenxuan wished that, with him here, why would he need to call the maid to come in and serve, “In fact, it would be better if you could lose your temper more often, there’s no need to set too high standards for yourself.

Everyone is a baby, don't be too competitive, things are different now, there's no need to keep yourself tense, if you're really bored, how about finding someone to play cards with?"

It doesn't matter. Playing big is gambling, and playing small is a waste of time. You might as well use this time to read a few pages of a book, draw a picture, and make some preventive preparations.

Following Gu Wenxuan's strength to support her, Zhou Banxia subconsciously hugged her belly and shook her head as she turned around, "Playing cards is too noisy.

It’s not exciting, and I get tired after sitting for too long. It’s more interesting to bet on who can get the top three in the science exam. I wonder if those odds for the autumn exam will still be open this year…”

Gu Wenxuan's mouth twitched. He supported Zhou Banxia and walked slowly towards the bathroom. He smiled and waited for her to finish. Then he asked with a smile, "Does your father know that you are such a big gambler?"

"I have a rough idea now." Zhou Banxia laughed himself out loud, "Last time I bet on the odds, my dad said I would definitely bet more than that.

My father said that among his five children, I am the only one like him. When he is timid, he is afraid of everything, but when he is bold, he dares to do anything. Fortunately, I know what is the limit.

My father said that I was the one he trusted the most and also the one he worried about the most. My father disliked the fact that I always assumed everyone I looked at was a good person at first sight, which made me suffer losses too easily.

My dad said that I was just lucky and that the people I met outside were not cruel and vicious. I was just a fool with good luck, but what is luck?
As my father said, a person's fortune has been arranged by God. A person is destined to have a certain amount of fortune, and I won't always meet good people.

He just looked at me. People say that there is bitterness before sweetness. How long can my sweetness last? He was afraid that one day I would be deceived by someone and go to extremes and kill someone with a knife.

My father still remembers the time when I used a kitchen knife to chop people when I was a child. He knows better than my mother and the others that I am not a gentle child by nature.

It is also because of this that my father still feels that even with my master protecting me, I still suffered a lot of grievances during those years in the Gao Mansion and my temper was softened.

Everyone says I am blessed, but my father doesn’t think so.”

"Miss your dad?"

"Yes, the capital is not the capital city, and the Gao family is the only one in power. My father is not as smart as your father, and he is also the second brother recognized by my uncle. It is not a good thing to stay in the capital for too long."

It's a pity that engagement is a very time-consuming matter. From bringing a matchmaker to propose marriage to offering betrothal gifts, one has to choose an auspicious day, not to mention the time for going back and forth.

"If I'm not mistaken, my father wouldn't leave the house unless it was something serious. Plus, it's my aunt who's offering the betrothal gift, so I wonder how sad he must be.

If I could, who would not want to use my own abilities to get my children married in a grand manner? I seem to have been stupid and shouldn’t have agreed to this marriage—"

"Stop!" If it weren't for his wife feeling sorry for herself, Gu Wenxuan would have wanted to hit her head hard, "Stop having these nonsense thoughts!
I don't want Dajiang to marry a girl whose family is not as well off as yours and who can't even read, let alone Dajiang. Do you think your brother is a wooden man?"
