Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Before Gu Wenxuan finished speaking, Zhou Banxia had already heard what he was going to say next, and she also knew the reason why he nodded and asked her to accept it.

The man in her family thought that the situation this time should be similar to the braised food recipe, because of the greenhouse.

It just so happened that the farm they owned in Fucheng now produced fermented tofu, soy products, preserved eggs, etc., which were supplied to the Yunkelai Restaurant in Fucheng, but it seemed too small.

So, maybe Mrs. Gao San or someone in charge reported the situation to Mrs. Gao, and that's why Mrs. Gao chose a nearby manor as a thank-you gift?

"This time, he must have heard that we were planning to move to a bigger farm in the city last year. What gift could be more to our liking than this? We don't even have to move.

Apart from this, I can't think of any other deeper meaning she might have. If it were a celebration for our child's third birthday, it would seem much more intimate, but that's just social interaction, isn't it?
Who doesn't know your character? If you don't want to return the property to its original owner, you will definitely return a gift of equal value to the Gao family without saying a word.

Comparing the two, whether returning the property to its original owner or rewarding you with a huge fortune from the Gao family, it is still more meaningful than giving it as a gift.

First, you should follow your usual practice of not accepting favors without doing anything in return. It would be better not to give any gifts, so as to avoid the burden of going back and forth.

How can it be compared to coming here from time to time to express your attitude that you are our Gaofu girl, which can make you pay more attention to me. I always think that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of gratitude..."

Good fellow, you always want me to understand what the word "connotation" means! Zhou Banxia suppressed her laughter and let her continue without interrupting.

"… Secondly, if the return gift is too expensive, does it mean alienation in the eyes of outsiders, widening the distance between you and Mr. Gao?"

He also said that I was just like my mother and started to talk nonsense. The truth is, I am me and my uncle is my uncle. How can I ask my uncle to repay the favor I owe to him?

At the status of my uncle and Mr. Gao, money is no longer the way to measure interests between them. If I don't distance myself from them, would I go so far as to make my uncle suffer for me?

Seeing that Zhou Banxia remained silent, Gu Wenxuan knew that he had touched her heart at this moment. Of course, he didn't want his wife to reply.

It was a rare opportunity for her to have an uncle who cared about her and worked for her benefit. Even if she was foolish enough to say that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring, she would definitely stand on her uncle's side.

It doesn't matter who is right or wrong.

Just like how she treats him, as long as he doesn't violate principles, she will always stand on his side, and she can even make unreasonable things out to be as it should be.

"Finally, the gift is too expensive. Would she be worried that you would misunderstand her as being pretentious and not wanting people to forget the origin of the dowry in your hand?
Some people and some things are only suitable for the parties concerned to remember, not to be publicized. This is true for you, sir, and I am afraid it is the same for that person as well."

The fact that the house in the imperial city is under your name actually indicates a lot of problems. It is understandable that the emperor did not give the house away as a reward, but what about the late emperor?

God knows the real reason why the late emperor ordered the confiscation of Duke Liang's mansion when he was alive, but kept the house and didn't even give it to his most favored princess.

It is said that the house is the private property left by the eldest daughter of the first generation of Duke Liang, and can only be inherited by the eldest daughter of Duke Liang. Who would believe it?

The Duke of Liang’s mansion was destroyed, not to mention that his wife is the Duke of Liang’s eldest daughter?

What a joke!
Even if the house was finally inherited by his wife's master, the granddaughter of Duke Liang, it should not be passed to his wife's name. How old is Zhou Yanqing now? Can't he give birth to a legitimate daughter to inherit the house?

But the thing is so strange, the Ministry of Rites was ordered to register it in the name of his wife.

Otherwise, his wife might be so scared that she would suspect that her master might be the illegitimate daughter of the late emperor. The late emperor loved her so much that he hated the ancestral precept that daughters of the Duke of Liang’s mansion could not enter the palace, so he took the opportunity to eliminate the thorn in his eyes.

Gu Wenxuan thought of Zhou Banxia's suspicion, which was so outrageous that he couldn't help but chuckle again, "Okay, forget it. That farm is worth at most three to five thousand taels of silver, which is much less than the benefit that the greenhouse has brought to Yun Laike. If she doesn't show her appreciation, how can she convince others?

Although the senior managers are loyal to her, it is based on the principle of reward for merit. In the minds of the senior managers, you are in the same group with them.

The so-called huge sum of money to buy a horse is just like this, not to mention that the two members accepted it. Gao Da's wife has not returned the gift yet. That woman is crazy!"

How come this petty-minded girl still doesn't see her suffer any loss? Zhou Banxia laughed, "Wasn't the annual gift at the end of last year very generous?"

"New Year gifts are a form of interpersonal communication, just like borrowing and returning. We have given many gifts in return." After saying that, Gu Wenxuan changed the subject and said, "Madam Gao, the eldest grandson's wife, is still narrow-minded. Isn't it said that she has a lot of red dowry? Why do you think she is a little petty in her conduct?
It's easy to imagine that with Mrs. Gao's cleverness, it's impossible for her not to give advice to her eldest grandson's wife when she found out that she had already accepted the dividends, right?
But look at her, it's been two or three months, and apart from thanking you in letters, she hasn't shown any sign of gratitude. She doesn't still think you're a maid in her house, does she?

You all know the saying "Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face", right? Even if she can't come herself for the sake of the master, she should send a housekeeper, a maid, to come."

"Maybe they wanted to send someone after the New Year, but Dajiang happened to go to the capital to propose marriage during the first month of the year, so it was delayed. She is still okay..."

exactly!
This diverts attention!
But we can't go back to the topic of the Luo family. God knows whether you will find out that the Jiangnan branch of the Luo family is indeed involved when you investigate the case this time.

If this is true, it's terrible. Lord Gao Er can still be saved, but no one can save the Jiangnan Luo family, and it is very likely that the Luo family in the capital will be brought into disaster.

If the situation is serious, it is not impossible that the Luo family in the capital will be stripped of their titles and exiled. Any corruption case involving a prince is no small matter.

The one who is wrong is not the prince, but the minister.

What's more, as a minister you have a family fortune passed down from your ancestors for hundreds of years, and the emperor is not as rich as you. How can you not feel frustrated!

"...Mrs. Gao carefully selected the eldest grandson's wife. Even if her reputation as a girl was not worthy of her reputation, she still had two mothers-in-law to teach her after she entered the family. She can still hold her own in public..."

very good!

Then said!

Seeing that Zhou Banxia was about to take a break from her talk, Gu Wenxuan immediately asked, "Really?" As he expected, his wife began to give examples to prove her point.

"…She just pretended not to know that the maid was pregnant, and she endured the humiliation, and even promoted the maid to be a concubine, which was to save the dignity of her husband's family.

Finally, it doesn't matter if the maid is pregnant and she doesn't want to punish her severely. If she doesn't do anything, her mother-in-law won't tolerate her son having a concubine's eldest son first, which will help her to gain a good reputation as a virtuous woman. " (End of this chapter)
