Chapter 823 The purpose of the visit
Thinking about it now, it was more like the master was covering up for her since she was young and ignorant, fearing that Uncle Wang would spread the news that she was having an affair with that young cousin.

Actually, it was only because she got lost in the outer courtyard and met that young cousin for the first time. It seemed that it was from then on that her master taught her how to avoid outsiders.

“…You have the rules etched into your bones, and you don’t fight or argue. I have told your father many times to just relax and not be punished no matter who is punished.

Besides, even though I wasn't at home later, I still heard that the old lady treated you differently, and even the eldest lady treated you as a lucky star."

Zhou Banxia couldn't say it out loud, but now that she thought about it, she was indeed a lucky star for the Gao family.

First, by chance, Madam Gao escaped the disaster, Lord Gao and Lord Gao II avoided the mourning period, and then the cousin looked at her differently.

If she didn't have an uncle who was an official in the court, even her master might not be able to protect her. She would have been either someone's maid or someone's concubine.

"Ha, we've gone off topic again." Shopkeeper Wang was feeling sad about how worried Zhou Changshun was about his daughter's life in danger at home, and at the same time he saw his wife beating her waist.

Such ungentlemanly behavior should not be too obvious to remind him to get back to the point, which made him happy, "Let's get down to business, let's get down to business."

At this moment, even Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but laugh.

"Let me tell you something. Before your Master Wang came back, the housekeeper beside the Third Madam told him that the eldest young lady of the Tian residence was her niece."

clear!

Uncle Wang and you will not consider the monk's face, but the Buddha's. We will appropriately deepen our relationship with the Tian family. Zhou Banxia nodded in understanding, "As I should. Here--"

"You can continue as usual." Shopkeeper Wang interrupted Zhou Banxia's unspoken words, "The Tian family is not good enough for you two young men to treat them well, but now it's time for you to give them some face."

Zhou Banxia held his forehead with his hand, "My dear uncle, how could you teach me like this? Only you elders who favor me think I am spoiled. I am not myself anymore!"

Shopkeeper Wang laughed out loud, "Your uncle Wang thinks that even if you are not our daughter of the Gao family, you are still the daughter of the Zhou family. You should be superior to others and you are not allowed to lower your status."

"Shame on you!" Seeing that Shopkeeper Wang was about to open his mouth to refute, Zhou Banxia immediately changed the subject, "How are Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang?"

"Kid, I know you're thinking about them. They're fine. Before I came back, your grandfather Wang used his cane to hit me. He's really strong."

Gu Wenxuan took over the conversation and said jokingly, "Uncle, what did you do to make the old man angry and beat you? Are you hiding the old man's good wine again?"

"Well, our Liu Lang guessed it right again. This is all your father's fault. Didn't your father bring my jar of wine home in the first month of the lunar year? I had no choice but to go to the old man to get it again."

"Yes?"

"You little brat, you're still arguing with me. If you don't take your own father's things, how can you steal them? No wonder the old man favors you and asked me to bring two jars to you."

He couldn't stay any longer when Shopkeeper Wang started talking to Gu Wenxuan. It was just that he had said all the important things that needed to be said, so he stood up and winked at Gu Wenxuan.

After the two of them left, Wang's wife did not sit for long, waiting for Zhou Banxia to reply that she had been eating well and sleeping well recently. Zhou Molan came. Chen Wenpo also came with Zhou Molan. Under Wang's expectation, Chen Wenpo touched Zhou Banxia's belly and found that it was fine as she expected.

If the mother is good and the baby in her belly is also good, there is a 99% chance that the baby will be born full-term. It will come to fruition naturally and it is really cause for celebration!

Shopkeeper Wang clasped her hands together and smiled, and quickly asked Zhou Banxia to have a good rest. She took Zhou Molan's arm and left the upper room of the west courtyard with Chen Wenpo first.

After walking out of the upper room, which was a bit far from the upper room, and when Chen Wenpo went to the kitchen first, she couldn't help but quietly ask Zhou Molan where Doctor Lin was?
Zhou Molan gently patted the hand of Shopkeeper Wang's wife who was holding her arm, "She has checked my daughter's pulse this morning. She and her husband will be back from Dong's house soon."

That's good.

Sister Chen's skill is inherited from her ancestors. It is said that she has been delivering babies for wives of wealthy families for many years without any mistakes. I think she is much more reliable than ordinary midwives.

But no matter what, it would be more appropriate to have Dr. Lin by her side to check on Miss Banxia's safety. "The girl is a child with great fortune in the future."

Zhou Molan understood what he said even though it didn't make sense. She smiled and nodded, "It will be fine. My master will bless the child if he is still alive."

If she hadn't mentioned her master in time, Shopkeeper Wang would have almost forgotten something, "The wife of the eldest young master of the Zhou Mansion was pregnant a month earlier than the young lady, right?"

"Almost." Zhou Molan thought that it would be inappropriate for her to announce the good news she had just heard from Zhiming tonight before her brother-in-law spoke.

Firstly, this good news was not learned from the family's own home, but Lord Wen asked Zhiming to inform her brother-in-law as soon as he received the news from the capital.

Secondly, even though her daughter couldn't hear anything in the room at that moment, she was very smart and would notice any strange look on the maid's or the old woman's face.

If her daughter had guessed that the eldest young lady had given birth to a son the day before yesterday, she would never have gone to sleep peacefully tonight, thinking that a gift had been prepared in advance.

Rather than caring about whether the baby she was carrying was a boy or a girl, her daughter actually wanted the eldest young lady to give birth to a nephew as her first child.

Tonight her daughter will find out that her eldest nephew has finally arrived. Her uncle and aunt have a legitimate grandson. She will be so happy that she will open the storehouse for the nephew overnight.

It is better to let her daughter have a good night's sleep first. When she wakes up tomorrow morning, even if she doesn't say anything, her husband will tell her the good news.

At that time, you can open the warehouse in broad daylight to do something, or write a long letter or something, or send someone to the capital as soon as possible, etc., all of which are possible.

"Then the baby will be born in the next few days." After hearing Zhou Molan's reply that it was almost time, Wang calculated the date and said, "The baby is full-term.

Full-term is good. If the baby is well, the mother will be relieved. Your Zhou family, this is a good omen. There will be three happy events at the beginning of this year."

Yes, good times will come after bad times, God has woken up, Zhou Molan nodded with a smile, "Gao Mansion is also good, I heard that the fifth master is going to be promoted soon?"

Shopkeeper Wang was startled when he heard this, and at the same time he paused and looked at Zhou Molan who was walking side by side with him, "You have heard about this too?
It was only after my wife came back from the provincial capital that I learned about this happy event. I’m afraid the eldest master will have to avoid suspicion, and the fifth master may not be able to become the prefect.

Even if he could be appointed as prefect, the Fifth Master would not still be there. My wife said that in all likelihood, he would be transferred to a remote state capital to be the prefect."
