Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 846: Playing Tricks Again
Hearing this, Gu Wenxuan held Zhou Banxia's chubby face with both hands, kissed her three times in a row, and praised her for being worthy of being his wife!

It's your wife who is smart, not me? Zhou Banxia couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, signaling him to let go, because he still had to entertain the guests.

"No rush, my big brother is there, everyone knows I have things to do when I come back from a day out, so it's still in time to go after they're halfway through their meal.

Anyway, whatever they want to know, I don't need them to ask, I know it all. Do you believe that they would rather talk nonsense with me than ask me for anything?"

You've become so good at being a person that everyone thinks you're hard to talk to, and you're still proud! Zhou Banxia suppressed her smile and nodded, "I believe it. Even if you put down your face, you're still very imposing."

"You don't understand. Why should I lose face? I'll just smile. They all know that I'm smarter than my brother. Only my brother thinks I'm stupid."

"Hahaha..." You jerk, you still have the nerve to say that? Zhou Banxia pulled his face, "You don't have a thick skin."

"You're kidding. I'm so young and tender." Gu Wenxuan said with a smile, moving closer to her face. "Touch her again and see if she's as smooth and tender as you are?"

"You are so frivolous." Zhou Banxia scolded with a smile, and then immediately changed the subject, "Do you think Madam Gao has figured out something now?"

"There is a saying that goes 'those involved are often confused, but those who are on the sidelines can see clearly. Besides, Gao Fu is not the only one in high position and power in Zhili, so she should not have expected that there would be a hidden hand reaching out.

Just like us, if we hadn't heard from the teacher that Gao Er was in danger, how could we have thought that Gao Er had been promoted to the Minister of Personnel, and the higher-ups still didn't trust him?"

Whispering is one thing, but you are such a frivolous person, why are you blowing air? Zhou Banxia didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly raised his hand to rub his ears.

Gu Wenxuan grabbed her hand mischievously, rubbed her ears and teased, "I haven't finished talking yet, you blocked your ears and don't want to listen?"

"Just be bad."

"Let's talk about it after we go to bed. It's not convenient now. Come on, mother, let's eat first. How many times did our daughter kick you today?"

This guy is using rhetoric again. Shouldn't our daughter kick you today? And she kicked you a few times! Zhou Banxia glared at him with amusement.

Gu Wenxuan raised his eyebrows.

"Relax, Aunt Chen just came to touch me every night at first, there is no other intention, if you feel uncomfortable, I will tell you.

You've made so many preparations, why should I hide it? Even if there are false labor pains before delivery during the day, I will definitely let Jiaxing go to find you."

"Very good!" I hope you really have this awareness, and it's okay to just endure it. Gu Wenxuan touched his wife's bulging belly lovingly.

"The child is very well behaved."

"It's her duty. Our daughter has the best mother in the world. She knows how to love you as her mother." Having said that, Gu Wenxuan quickly let go of her hand.

But he didn't dare to move too much and alarm his precious daughter. It's not that he thinks his child is extraordinarily smart, but it's different for his daughter who is still at her parents' home.

Ever since the baby started to move, whenever he, as a father, reached out and touched her more to interact with her, her daughter would always cooperate and kick wherever he put his hands.

The most interesting thing is that several times when he saw that the kick was very powerful, he said, "Baby, your mother will be hurt," and his daughter's strength was obviously much lighter. So smart!

This child must have come to repay her gratitude. Before she was even born, she knew how to love her mother. How could she not be precocious?!

"Have you roughly estimated how much money you have to pay?" Zhou Banxia was supported by Gu Wenxuan as he came out of the bathroom. He suddenly remembered that this matter had not been mentioned yet.

"Leaving aside the ones that my elder brother and his wife have their eyes on, we have six shops and five farms here, including your father's farm.

One of these five villages just fills the gap in the passage from the county town to Zhoujia Village. It also has an orchard and is three miles away from the nearby post station."

It's just a simple question, why are you beating around the bush? Zhou Banxia wanted to hear what he was going to say next.

"There is another farm, which is the big farm in the past of the teahouse outside the north of the city. This is also a hidden farm of the Huang family. There happens to be a big mill in it——"

"Wait a minute!" Zhou Banxia couldn't help interrupting, "Are you talking about the big manor near the dark teahouse when we first entered the city?"

"Right~"

As he spoke, Gu Wenxuan blinked - that's what you thought, the first time my husband and I went to buy beams, we had to run outside the city to pick up the goods late at night, and we almost couldn't get into the city!
Zhou Banxia couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand when he saw this: "You're still blinking. It's getting dark now. Aren't you afraid that the light won't be enough and I can't see clearly?" "Go on."

"What was I talking about when you interrupted me?" Seeing Zhou Banxia letting go and about to glare, Gu Wenxuan quickly recalled his memory, "Oh, that mill is quite big. It is said that it was sponsored by Mr. Fang. When the Fang family grain shop is too busy, they send the grain there for processing."

"Master Fang's mouth was pried open?"

"That's right. Master Fang didn't suffer that badly this time. He was fined nearly 80,000 taels of silver. He just didn't want to be beaten with 20 sticks. He still has to be locked up for ten days before he can be released."

"Is it a lenient punishment?"

"It can't be serious, and it can't be serious. Just like I speculated before, he doesn't need to be the main one with County Lieutenant Huang. As long as it doesn't involve human lives, it won't be a big problem."

Yes, what is being compared is still the background. It’s just like in Journey to the West, all the monsters with backgrounds were released, and only the monsters without backgrounds were killed!
"His brother-in-law is a treasure. It is said that the prefect is his brother-in-law's relative. Since both the principal and the accomplice are involved, it is not good to go too far. Senior Brother Qian did not pursue the matter."

Zhou Banxia couldn't help but frown. No matter how upright his words were, they could not erase the fact that all crows are evil. Qian Huaizhi was still too smooth and worldly.

"It's just that Senior Brother has done this favor for us two. Senior Brother also said that we two had passed on the message to Master Qian."

"..." Zhou Banxia was silent for a moment, "I would rather not have these favors. Even though I have delivered the message, if I don't say it, the result will still be the same."

"So when Master Chen asked us to choose first, I didn't show up until Senior Brother Qian said something at noon today. I only asked for these two farms."

Zhou Banxia knew that the "Lord Chen" that Gu Wenxuan was talking about was the Lord of the Thousand Households who came to assist Qian Huaizhi in taking office, and he was also a friend of her Uncle Master Qi.

It is impossible that the other party didn't know before she came that she not only had a huge dowry, but also a workshop with considerable profits. How could she be so greedy as to want everything?

Since he dared to let her and her husband choose first, he must have consulted Uncle Qi. Uncle Qi would not cheat them. But, "Aren't you worried that Qian Huaizhi would cheat you?"
