Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

The question is, does the old lady have ten taels of silver? That's impossible. Just add up the annual pension money for each family as written in the family book.

Seeing Gu Wenxuan making the three and four gestures and then making a scissors sign, Zhou Banxia couldn't help laughing and asked, "How do you know that Dad gave it to you?"

Gu Wenxuan gave a thumbs up again.

"Is it the eldest aunt and the old aunt?"

Gu Wenxuan slapped his thigh with a "pa" sound, "She is worthy of being my wife, she is so smart! My father won't give it to me, the old lady has five taels of silver in her private savings.

It doesn't have to be much, just save a hundred coins a year, and that would be one tael of silver in ten years. She has been in charge for many years, and she can only catch a frog and squeeze its piss out of it, so five taels of silver would be too little.

Only the old man's coffin has been completely taken away by his eldest son and grandson. The old lady is fine. If our father doesn't give her anything, there are still my third uncle and eldest aunt who are the victims.

The third uncle is the most interesting. Wulang told me that he now dares to give his father small change but not copper coins, so his father's purse is very strange.

No matter how small the silver coins are, I can never lose them, but I lose copper coins every now and then. The strange thing is that every time I lose a certain amount, it is exactly no more than ten copper coins."

“Hahaha…” That was the time when Uncle San, a real man, was able to do something. He couldn’t tell his son about giving change to the old lady, so he had to throw away the copper coins.

But he was honest enough. He would not even spend ten or eight copper coins to buy a bowl of mutton soup and a steamed bun at the market at the intersection of the official road, and he would insist that it was lost.

It would have been fine if he didn't want to eat mutton soup with steamed buns, but when he thought about it, he felt a little hungry. Zhou Banxia subconsciously turned his head to look at the sky outside the window.

His wife had momentarily forgotten that they had a clock at home, but it was almost time for dinner, so Gu Wenxuan stood up with a smile, "Shall we eat first?"

Well, the world is big, but eating is the most important thing.

It was a coincidence that she had just stood up with Xuanzi's help and walked out of the inner room, but before she reached the living room, the clock started to ring.

No wonder Mai Xiang just came in with her maids and old women carrying food boxes. It was much more convenient to have a self-ringing clock in the hall. It was not like before when she could only roughly estimate the time.

Sometimes, when I eat and drink six meals a day, it always feels like the interval between many meals is less than an hour. I am full here, but I want to eat again.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but these past two days, when I heard the clock ringing at the top of the hour, I felt like I kept eating.

Tonight's mutton offal soup was handled very well.

Although vermicelli and tofu are added as usual and there is no fishy smell, it seems to be more flavorful. With just a slight breath, the fragrance rushes straight into the nose.

Paired with golden sesame cakes, take a sip of the fragrant mutton soup, wow, it's so delicious, she said that mutton offal soup must have mutton offal to be tasty!

If it weren’t for the fact that we have to eat everything in moderation nowadays to avoid gaining weight which would be detrimental to childbirth, Zhou Banxia would just want to have another bowl of this real mutton soup. Unfortunately, her life was more important.

Seeing Gu Wenxuan drinking the mutton offal soup with a lot of spicy flavor in big gulps, she was envious. After giving birth to the child, she also wanted to eat spicy food to her heart's content!
Now, for the sake of the child, I have to reluctantly give up the foods that easily cause inflammation. Just treat it as if I'm borrowing the mouth of this person in her family and eat to my heart's content.

"I've gained weight."

Gu Wenxuan was sweating profusely while eating, and felt that all the pores on his body were open. Seeing where Zhou Banxia's eyes were lingering, he decisively started with "fat". It's not that he was reluctant to let his wife eat more, how much money can mutton offal soup be worth? If it was a few months ago, he would have wished that she could eat more, but now she really couldn't eat more.

"Nonsense." It's all muscle, how can it be fat! Zhou Banxia immediately turned his head away and glanced at Gu Wenxuan's abdomen, "Why hasn't Zhiming come back yet?"

This changes the subject. Does your man have a good body? Anyway, the maid is not serving him in the room, so do you want to touch your man's abdominal muscles?
Gu Wenxuan grabbed her hand and placed it on his stomach, and replied while suppressing his laughter: "He will leave the city before the city gate closes, and I asked him to go find Manager Wang after he finishes his business.

Manager Wang has been out for a few days. If I'm not mistaken, he will definitely come back before the city gates close today. When he comes back, he will definitely want to chat with us.

So I asked Zhiming to go to Wang's house when he came back, to see if he was at Yunkelai, or if he was invited to someone's house by the Zhao family for a drink as soon as he showed up.

If I don't send Zhiming to his house, he might still think that I'm going into the city tomorrow. Besides, I want to find out how many families are close to the Zhao family.

Either someone who has been in contact with them on a daily basis is approaching them, or at this critical moment, before the true identity of Senior Brother is exposed, let's see who is getting together with the Zhao family."

Understand!
You want to know who were the first people to approach the Zhao family to share the spoils today, so that you can analyze who is still optimistic about the Zhao family now that County Magistrate Huang's faction has fallen.

Zhou Banxia nodded quickly to show that he understood. He glanced in the direction of the door, then retracted his gaze and said in a low voice, "Manager Wang is going to stand on the side of the Tian family."

Gu Wenxuan raised his eyebrows.

"Why else do you think the Third Lady of the Gao family would interfere? The Tian family is the husband's family of her niece's cousin. The relationship between these two families should be too distant. I have never heard of it.

She is not a good person. If she were a good person, how could she be in charge of the household affairs at the Gao Mansion in the provincial capital? To put it bluntly, her words as a mistress of the house are not as effective as those of the manager.

Not to mention Old Madam Gao, even Madam Gao would not allow any sister-in-law to be in power alone. Before the Third Lady of the Gao family wanted to intervene in this matter, she had to at least get Madam Gao's consent.

In other words, even if Mrs. Gao did not intervene in the case of County Magistrate Huang, she was an insider, and her lack of objection meant her acquiescence, and Shopkeeper Wang was her man.

Manager Wang seemed to be away from home these days, but in fact he was going to the provincial capital to find senior officials to report the situation and to seek advice from his father.

His father, Mr. Wang, was Madam Gao's chamberlain. Even though he was almost betrayed by Madam Gao due to an unjustifiable crime, he was still very loyal.

You see, I have helped his family so much, but before my uncle found me, Mr. Wang never reminded me of anything.

Even if my uncle found me, he would only talk about how good Madam Gao was and not mention anything else. Oh, that's off topic. As long as Madam Gao acquiesces, Manager Wang will stand on the side of the Tian family.

Think about it again, did your parents mention in the letter that the eldest lady of the Gao family came with a grain store as a dowry, which mainly sold coarse grains and at affordable prices?

Madam Gao and her three generations are beginning to pave the way for Mr. Gao to enter the cabinet. As long as the Tian family does not engage in corruption and pervert the law and serve as their grain merchants, they will have a strong backing.

In addition, the Gao family is wealthy enough not to be so greedy, and they also care about a good reputation. The Tian family is going to expand their territory next, and Qingyang County alone cannot hold them back. "

Gu Wenxuan looked puzzled at his wife and said, "It seems that we should eat more walnuts. The effect will come out!" (End of this chapter)
