Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

What did Chapter 822 say?
After talking about the people who would be visiting the Tian Mansion this afternoon, Shopkeeper Wang brought up the second matter without waiting for Zhou Banxia to ask the second question.

——The next day after he arrived in the city, he met Manager Hu at the Gu family farm outside the city. Manager Hu was under the order of Madam Qian to inquire at the farm whether anyone had returned to Qinghe Village.

Zhou Banxia knew about this. Aunt Mei had something to send to her, and she wanted to see if there was anything from the farm over there or the Zhou family village that could be transported here so that she could get a ride.

In the words of Aunt Mei in the letter, it was not a very expensive thing, just one or two small clothes and a pair of shoes and a hat for her unborn child.

Of course, these are kind words.

Even though both Mrs. Qian and Aunt Mei knew that she had no shortage of the finest cotton cloth, they still prepared two pieces for her child.

In addition, one can tell from the embroidery that the swaddling clothes, tiger-head hats, tiger-head shoes, small bellybands and other baby products were definitely embroidered by Aunt Mei herself.

She said she couldn't leave at the moment and didn't know when she would give birth, so she could only see if she could make it on the third day of her baby's birth. Now I'll bring clothes for the baby.

There was no need to hide the relationship with Madam Qian from Manager Wang and his wife, so Zhou Banxia told the truth as soon as Manager Wang finished speaking.

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Wang's wife praised Madam Qian and the others for their thoughtfulness, and also mentioned that her mother-in-law had gone to the temple in the first month of the year to buy a peace amulet for Zhou Banxia.

Since we are talking about amulets, Zhou Banxia saw that Shopkeeper Wang began to untie a small bundle nearby, took out a small wooden box from the top and handed it to her.

Just looking at this small bundle, although the four corners of the bundle are not all untied, you can still see that there is a wooden box inside that is twice as big as this small wooden box.

Could it be Tremella and donkey-hide gelatin again?
"…Take it out and give it to Sister Lan. She knows where to put it more appropriately. The remaining box doesn't contain anything rare, just some donkey glue."

as predicted.

It’s donkey-hide gelatin again.

Zhou Banxia could hardly count how many red dates, white fungus, and donkey-hide gelatin the shopkeeper Wang and his wife had given her since she returned to the village, especially since she became pregnant.

Just like this donkey-hide gelatin, she was told that she couldn't use it now because she was ill, and that she had to save it for her confinement period to recuperate. But it kept being sent to her before she had even finished her confinement period.

I couldn't refuse, either. It was because I had a good relationship with the master who made donkey-hide gelatin, or I just wanted to prepare some extra so that I could make donkey-hide gelatin to make solidified energies paste or something like that.

In fact, it's not just Aunt Mei who is thoughtful. Uncle Wang, oh, let's call him Grandpa Wang, and his wife are also very thoughtful. They never forget her when they come across good ingredients.

She had just thought about the ingredients and the fresh fruits and vegetables that Manager Wang had reserved for her last year using the Yunkelai supply channel when she heard the third thing mentioned.

"…Last year, we were still too late to prepare. We did harvest the crops in the greenhouse in the first month of the year, and the old lady (of the Gao Mansion) asked the chief steward to talk to me."

What did you say?
You stood up in the middle of your words and put your hand into your sleeve pocket. Zhou Banxia looked at Gu Wenxuan. The couple had a tacit understanding, and Gu Wenxuan happened to look at her.

The couple looked at each other and smiled.

At the side, Shopkeeper Wang's wife couldn't help but chuckle when she saw this. Before Shopkeeper Wang could take something out of his sleeve pocket, she said, "This is a gift from an elder, and I cannot refuse it."

Zhou Banxia knew that the shopkeeper Wang would say this, but she didn't know what kind of thank-you gift Madam Gao would give, so that Aunt Wang couldn't wait to shut her up. In fact, the greenhouse planting was not much different from the interest of the braised food recipe. The couple originally intended to give it to Madam Gao.

Firstly, the fact that Yuyuan built a greenhouse and grew fresh vegetables could not be hidden from the shopkeeper Wang, with whom she had close ties, and she and her husband had no intention of making money from it.

All in all, she and her husband have the technology to grow greenhouse vegetables, but the actual conditions do not allow them to further improve the technology and expand production.

In this case, why take the risk to make this money, so the couple simply gave the current crude greenhouse construction and planting method to the Qi family and Old Madam Gao.

But obviously, the facts proved that Mrs. Gao still valued this crude technology. She didn't give the silver note but gave it directly to Zhuangzi.

Zhou Banxia looked speechlessly at the deed handed over by Shopkeeper Wang. It was obviously the land deed of Zhuangzi. "Are you estranged from me, old lady? I don't need Zhuangzi anymore."

Shopkeeper Wang laughed in silence. Seeing that neither Zhou Banxia nor Gu Wenxuan took it, he just put it on the table.

"Keep it. The old lady will never be distant or distant from you no matter how estranged she is from anyone. I'm just an errand boy. Don't embarrass your uncle Wang, I know that, right?

According to your Grandpa Wang, the farm the old lady gave you is not enough. The old lady treats you as her own granddaughter, otherwise she would have given you a share.

Your dealings with the eldest young lady are one thing, and this business with Yun Laike is another. Don't get them mixed up. Thanks to you, I got a generous reward this time!"

Zhou Banxia understood the implication of Manager Wang's words.

Before Yunlaike was taken over by Madam Gao, it was still Madam Gao who had the final say, and rewards were given according to the rules set by her.

Giving her a manor this time was a reward based on her status as the daughter of the Gao family. The problem was that her "merit" was not enough to warrant a manor.

Although I have never seen the number of acres of upper, middle and lower fields marked on the land deed of the farm, could it be a small farm that Madam Gao would take action on?
"Besides, the old lady still remembers that you saved her that year. At that time, she had no choice but to let this manor belong to you. Now it can be considered as returning it to its original owner."

This is serious, not a joke?
If that’s the case, the manor will have to accept it even if it doesn’t want to. Zhou Banxia glanced at the expression of Manager Wang, then looked at Gu Wenxuan, only to see Gu Wenxuan nod slightly.

Whatever.

No matter what Madam Gao's thoughts were, she accepted the farm as the end of her so-called savior's favor, and then discussed the friendship between the Gao and Zhou families.

"The old lady treated me well, I will never forget it as long as I live..." Zhou Banxia said a few more polite words and then changed the subject, "Then I will shamelessly accept it."

Shopkeeper Wang smiled and shook his head without commenting, "It was originally yours, County Lady. There are some things about your master and the old lady that I still don't understand clearly.

But your grandfather Wang also asked me to persuade you to accept it this time. Your grandfather Wang said that you are too much like your master, and it may not be a good thing to calculate too clearly. Just listen to him for now."

What do you mean?
"I know you. I've watched you grow up from this age to--" Shopkeeper Wang stretched out his hand to gesture how tall she was when he first saw her.

As he made this gesture, Zhou Banxia recalled the scene when she first met Manager Wang. At that time, Uncle Wang, who was not yet the manager, sent her back to the sewing room and was scolded by her master!
And her?

At that time, I was still working in the sewing room and had not yet started working in the old lady's yard. Was I six or seven years old? I just felt so sorry for this kind uncle.
