Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

When Zhao Laoer heard his second son's reminder, he nodded hurriedly to show that he understood, for fear that his second son, who always had his own ideas, would not believe him and do something stupid again.

Among his children, the second son is the smartest and most cunning one, but because of his cleverness and cunningness, he always feels that he is at a disadvantage, unlike the eldest son who is obedient and sensible.

Every time he talked about something, as his father, if he nodded a little slowly, he would secretly do something to him later. This was what happened last time he went to the provincial capital.

He didn't even know when his son had agreed with his third brother's wife to go to the provincial capital to join his third brother. He just said, "Dad, I want to go back to the village for two days" and ran away.

If he had not happened to return to the village a few days later to attend a wedding, he would not have known that his son was not in the village at all. He was so scared that he almost thought that his son had been murdered for his money.

It was clever of him to collude with the housekeeper of the village and hide it from the whole family, but unfortunately he was not very smart.

A truly smart child would not have time to hide, so why would he run to the provincial capital to walk into the trap? He does not have time to hide, so why would he meddle in his third uncle's family affairs?

Everyone here knows that a nephew is not as close as a son. He still wants to borrow the ladder handed by his third aunt to seek refuge with his third uncle. This kid really underestimates his third uncle.

It's no use saying it. I've already told the child not to target your third uncle, but he didn't listen. Fortunately, I found a job for the child in the government.

I hope that while my eldest brother is still an official, the government will give him some face, so that the child can learn more about the ways of the world in the government.

In case his second son not only wanted him to keep an eye on the county magistrate at home, but also sent someone to keep an eye on him when his second son was not at home, Zhao Laoer replied crisply, "Okay, Dad won't forget."

But staring?

I guess it's of no use.

Some people love money, but some people love talent more. The county magistrate of Qingyang County does not value money very much, otherwise why would he give up doing a good job as a county magistrate and come here to be the county magistrate.

So far, there are only two or three families who can be invited by the county magistrate to visit. However, Erzhuzi's second son and Changshunzi's eldest son are quite favored by the county magistrate.

Instead of staring at what the county magistrate will do next, it would be better to ask the second son of Erzhuzi. It's a pity that Erzhuzi and Changshunzi haven't returned from the capital yet. Otherwise, it would be more appropriate to find their two relatives. But I don't know if they can get home before the government sells the confiscated items this time.

The weather in February was still very cold. It had snowed a few days before and the snow had melted into ice, making the roads difficult to travel on and the carriage difficult to travel. We finally arrived at the entrance of Gujiazhuang village around noon.

The carriage had to stop for a while before entering the gate of the manor. Zhao Sanlang, who had just taken a nap in the carriage, woke up naturally without being reminded by the coachman or Zhao Dalang.

Lift the car window curtain and take a look?
It’s so lively here. There are several mule carts and ox carts parked in the open space outside, and there are many men, young and old, moving things back and forth.

The carriage moved on.

"Do all the restaurants in Qingyang County use Gu's soybean oil and tofu? Wasteland is valuable, brother." While the carriage was moving and no one was approaching, Zhao Sanlang quickly whispered in Zhao Dalang's ear to remind him.

Whether it is soybean oil or tofu, soybeans are needed. Soybeans do not require very good fields to grow. Zhao Dalang patted his second brother to signal him to sit down, and then nodded in agreement.

"Growing beans can also fertilize the fields. In my opinion, our family should not open any more shops. Some people say that our Zhao family owns most of the good shops in the city."

Zhao Dalang nodded again, "It is eye-catching enough, but I don't know where the county lord comes from."

"It must be quite big."

Gu Wenxuan could guess that one of the brothers from the second branch of the Zhao family would definitely come today. Now that some things have been settled, he would no longer "just happen to be away from home and go out."

Just as Zhiming rushed back from the city and just finished talking about the "grand occasion" of the city gate from yesterday evening to this morning, the gatekeeper received a message from the guards that there were guests coming. At this time, his family had just prepared a table of lunch for the guests, so Gu Wenxuan simply went to the outer courtyard to welcome Zhao Dalang and his brother to have a meal together.

"Are you at home today?" The moment Zhao Dalang saw Gu Wenxuan approaching leisurely, he couldn't help but tease, "Why aren't you going out?"

"I've done everything I need to do." After saying that, seeing Zhao Sanlang rolling his eyes, Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but smile, "When you two come, I'll be at home."

"You are such a brother!"

"Where's your elder brother?"

"I went to the town clinic early in the morning."

"You two brothers are still the most stable ones." Zhao Dalang sighed. He didn't believe that the Gu family hadn't received any news from the city yet.

There was a commotion in the city yesterday afternoon, so there was no need to send anyone to inquire. The Gu family's gatehouse in the city might not have heard anything that happened in the Qian Mansion not far away.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dalang was about to ask Gu Wenxuan if he knew that the Qian Mansion was sealed by the government, but he saw Gu Wenxuan turn around and said, "Where are we going? We are not outsiders. We can just sit in any room here."

"It's just in front, not far." Even if it's not convenient to go to the backyard, he can't invite us to have tea and eat at the gate. As Gu Wenxuan said this, he pointed to the front hall.

I haven't been here for some time, and there are some rare but inexpensive ornaments in the front hall of Yuyuan, which add a unique sense of nobility to the solemn atmosphere.

As soon as I stepped into the hall, I could smell a refreshing fragrance. I could see white smoke rising from the incense burner. On the tea table, the servants had just placed tea sets, and the aroma of tea was wafting in the air.

Obviously, these were specially prepared for the arrival of the two brothers. After Zhao Dalang sat down and waited for the servant to pour tea and leave, he asked Gu Wenxuan with a smile, "Did you know that my two brothers would come?"

Gu Wenxuan didn't want to hide the fact that he had already learned what happened in the city this morning. He extended his hand to invite the two Zhao brothers to have tea and smiled, "You, I didn't guess. With such a big thing happening outside, you may not be able to come, but Third Brother will definitely come today if he is free. I know that."

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"You are the eldest son, Brother Zhao, how could being the eldest son be so easy? Look at my eldest brother, no matter what happens, he always comes forward.

Besides, the inside information that Third Brother knows in the government office must be more reliable than any rumors outside. When he has time, he can come and give me some advice, right, Third Brother?"

Zhao Sanlang really wanted to say that he just wanted to be a mute with ears. It was too tiring to talk to Gu Liulang. Every time they chatted, he would be trapped by Gu Liulang with just a few words.

Look, even the word "tip" was mentioned.

"Don't take advantage of me because you are one or two years younger than me. I will be at a great loss if I become your brother," Zhao Sanlang said with a smile and glared at Gu Wenxuan fiercely.

Gu Wenxuan immediately turned around and instigated Zhao Dalang, "Look, he's being mean to me again. You're the boss, and Xiao San'er is disobedient again. Why don't you help me scold him?"

Zhao Dalang laughed out loud.

"If anyone dares to praise you as a gentleman in front of me again, I will slap him in the face!" Zhao Sanlang couldn't kick Gu Wenxuan, so he grabbed a chestnut and threw it at him.

Gu Wenxuan reacted very quickly and reached out to grab the chestnut, jokingly saying, "Are you angry now? Uncle Sun has praised me a lot, do you want to take back what you said?" (End of this chapter)
