Chapter 874 Boasting Again
According to Mrs. Liu, her eldest son is still under her nose and he loves his daughter-in-law, so it would be a good thing if she is praised too much.

He will be in trouble when he grows wings in the future. Now he is just a candidate for the imperial examination. If he dares to get carried away, he will be handed over to his teacher to deal with him.

"Fortunately, I found a good wife for our Liu Lang. You can see everything now. Anyone who is praised will inevitably show off, but San Ya won't do that."

Boasting again.

Liu then thought about how her man had been praised so highly in public for the past half month that he couldn't show off, but instead acted smugly in front of her, and she was secretly delighted.

"I was right before. This child's greatest strength is not her intelligence, but her character. I wonder how her master taught her."

As soon as she heard the words "her master", Liu immediately remembered that she still had to prepare for the worship, asking the child's master in heaven to bless the child and ensure a smooth delivery.

She no longer had time to give any more advice, no, to comfort the child's father. She patted Gu Erzhu who had just finished bathing, said she would talk to him later and left the bathroom first.

Gu Erzhu also remembered that he had to visit the Zhou clan elders as soon as possible. You know, the Zhou family here really treated his eldest son as a legitimate son-in-law.

Not to mention the interpersonal relationships, even Zhuangzi has taken good care of us. This is a real relative. Since we are here, we have to pay a visit.

As for whether it would be impolite to visit when it’s almost dark, I can’t worry about it anymore. I have to leave for home as early as possible tomorrow. I think everyone will understand.

Liu didn't think as much as he did. When she arrived at the manor, she instructed the housekeeper Gu Dahua to send someone to deliver the visiting card first and then send the gifts used today back to the main courtyard.

Yes, the main courtyard.

The in-laws were too particular. Even though it was clearly Sanya's dowry, and even if it wasn't Sanya's dowry, the farm was purchased by Sanya with her own money, they still insisted on giving priority to her and her husband.

Anyone who is praised highly will inevitably show off. Regardless of whether Sanya will be like this or not, Sanya’s biological father is indeed rare and precious.

And Sanya’s mother?

He is a person who loves to show off, but this time, I don’t know whether it was because San Ya’s father repeatedly warned him against it, or because he was intimidated by the ladies in Beijing, but he was unusually calm.

Liu was not surprised to hear the report from Gu Dahua's family that his father-in-law and father-in-law had already fled to Zhoujia Village.

After all, Madam Zhou and the two young masters of the Zhou family were originally planning to go to Qinghe Village together, but she repeatedly used the excuse that the child had just been born and the mother and daughter still needed her, as a grandmother, to take care of them at home, and also joked that they were afraid that she, as a mother-in-law, would mistreat her daughter-in-law. Only then did Madam Zhou and the others give up the idea and go to Qinghe Village together first. But after agreeing on a date to meet again, it seemed that they had something else to tell Dajiang to do so when he returned to the house from Zhoujia Village.

However, if she did so, she would not be able to go to Zhoujia Village with the child's father to pay a visit to the Zhou clan elders. Instead, she could go to visit her mother-in-law and Changping's family.

After Gu Erzhu and Zhou Changping got on the carriage and left, Liu went to the cross-courtyard to take a look at the three little girls who came back together, including her own Baoya.

Seeing that they had settled in and did not go back to their rooms to rest early due to the long journey, and were chatting and laughing in good spirits, she left with peace of mind to look for her mother-in-law.

Coincidentally, when she arrived, Xiao Bai had already arrived at the courtyard where Zhou Sishun and Li lived. "I was just about to look for you. Have you asked the doctor to take your pulse?"

Xiao Bai nodded hurriedly and pointed at the armchair beside her across a coffee table, "I'm not tired, I'm just too lazy to get up." "It should be so. We are not outsiders. Do we have to go back and forth to greet each other?" Liu smiled, waved her hand, sat on the chair beside her and looked at Li.

"Just went to change clothes."

It was called changing clothes, but in fact it was just going to the bathroom to relieve oneself. Liu immediately understood, and after many days in Beijing, she still couldn't change her excuse.

"No wonder I only heard her voice but didn't see her come out. I wonder what she was doing in the house. Are you going to go to Li Ge'er next, or go home first?
Before I came here, I heard from the child's father that not only will the escort agency have a convoy heading to the city tomorrow, but Dali will also be accompanying Zhiming to the farm there the day after tomorrow."

Xiao Bai shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'm not worried about the insecurity on the road, but Li Ge'er's father said that Li Ge'er will definitely come home during the Qingming Festival.

But in my heart, I know that the child has nothing to do in the academy, but now that I have come this far, I always want to go there, and I have to see if Li Ge'er's father is going."

Liu understood.

Xiao Bai wanted to go to Jingshan Academy with her husband to see their son, but why did they have to go together? Wouldn't it be better for one person to go with his maids and servants?
Thinking about it, she still didn't ask. Maybe there was something else that the couple had to go to together. It wasn't impossible. "That's good. Qingming Festival is coming soon."

"Yes, think about it. It's not a big deal to go there, and the child can rest for a day after being released from the academy. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's wait for Li Ge'er's father to come back and see what he says.

If he wants to go home first, I will go with him and wait for the child to come home. Did you let the horse rest for a while? I heard that the men went out in a carriage at first.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu thought that she would definitely not be able to hide the fact that her eldest son and his wife had purchased the farm and shop that had been sealed and confiscated by the county government from Mrs. Bai.

Even if Mr. Zhou was wholeheartedly staying in the village and didn't know about this, it was impossible for Mr. Bai not to have heard about it until now. When Mrs. Bai got home, she would naturally find out.

Furthermore, even if the Bai family was not among the six families that drew lots, just because he was a juren, he would still have the opportunity to buy a farm or a shop.

Unless Mr. Bai doesn't want it, but that's possible. As for any farm, no one can buy it without power and influence. This is the case in the capital, and the situation in the county is almost the same.

Therefore, it is not surprising that her Liu Lang and his wife bought several farms at once. As long as the Huang Party is still in power, where else can they buy farms in Qingyang?

"They just bought two farms. Zhiming and his friends are coming on horseback. They can harness the carriages and have two carriages. It won't delay their trip tomorrow."

At this time, Xiao Bai didn't know that Liu's words already contained a foreshadowing. When she heard "the young couple", she knew it referred to Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Banxia.

When she heard that this young woman had bought another farm, she didn't take it seriously at all and didn't think much about it. Outsiders didn't know, but she knew that San Ya was the one who lacked the most money right now.

Not to mention the valuable personal items randomly placed in the imperial mansion that Sanya's master left for her, even the scented soaps made in the workshop are extremely valuable.

I saw it in Zhao's shop in the capital city before, but I didn't think it was selling very well. But when I went to a rouge and fragrance shop in the capital, I could see that the more expensive it was, the better it sold.

She had been in the shop for less than a cup of tea, and the business was booming. People were crowded in, one after another, and none of them left without buying some soap.

Even if the bulk of the profits were taken away by several families of the Zhao family, and then distributed as dividends to the wives of the partners, San Ya could still make a net profit of at least tens of thousands of silver coins a year.
