Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 879 Very dissatisfied
Qinghe Village is located by the mountains and rivers, with rolling mountains behind it. A river flows through the village, and there are fields on both sides of the river.

Although there are not many fields on both sides, they and the river clearly separate Qinghe Village into Gu on the east side of the river and Zhou on the west side of the river.

Riding in a horse-drawn carriage has its advantages. Although Mr. Zhou and Zhou Sishun took the lead, Zhou Changping, Dajiang and others were not slow either.

However, the village roads in Hexi are not as well planned as those in Hedong. Hedong has two main roads from the entrance to the end of the village that can accommodate ox-horse carts.

One of the main roads is a bluestone road like the one in Hexi, but the remaining main road is not a winding dirt road, but a gravel-paved road.

The village roads on the west side of the river, especially those closer to the center of the village, have more dirt roads, and one often has to pass in front of one house and go around to the back door of another.

But this is also a road. The carriage that Dajiang accompanied Zhou Changping and others took was on this road. Unexpectedly, he arrived home earlier than his great-grandfather and his father.

The horse-drawn and mule-drawn carriages entered the backyard. When Zhou Daya was about to get off the carriage with the help of Dajiang, she heard Xiaohe running towards her on his short legs, shouting "Brother".

What about me, your elder sister? Don’t you want me anymore?
"Brother, where are our parents?" He ran along the river and looked for them. When he glanced behind him, he grinned, turned around and rushed back, "Mom~"

"I'm so happy now. I've been acting like little adults during the time you weren't at home." Zhou Daya hurried to explain, fearing that her elder brother would lecture her again.

Dajiang thought so too. When he saw Xiaohe rushing towards her mother and then bowing to her uncle and aunt after she stood firm, he smiled and nodded and let go of the hands that were supporting his eldest sister.

Zhou Daya heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, thinking that she was finally not treated as San Ya anymore. She was able to get off the carriage by herself, and even if she had her hands and feet reborn, they would be nimble now.

"I'm here, you go to the front first." As she said that, she pushed Dajiang and walked towards the back quickly, no, just with slightly bigger steps.

There was no way. She was so fragile now. If she walked a little faster, it would be known to Aunt Lan. She had to sit and lean on someone, and couldn't go out for most of the day.

Dajiang didn't bother to be polite with his elder sister. He had just arrived home and had a lot of things to do. Seeing that she was not walking in a hurry as usual, he pulled his uncle Changping to go ahead first.

In the main courtyard in front, there was no need for Dabai to worry, as the housekeeper had already told the maids to prepare hot water on time, and they only had to wait for Zhou Sishun and Dajiang to take a bath before setting off firecrackers and distributing wedding cakes.

Just like the Zhou family, the group from Yuyuan came back exhausted. Hot water had been prepared in each courtyard, and even meals were delivered to each courtyard.

Only the East Courtyard was not cooking tonight. Even Zhou Banxia was sent back to the West Courtyard to rest because she was about to give birth. Who would want her to chat with the elders at this time?

As soon as Gu Wenxuan waited for his parents to go to the main courtyard, he said goodbye and accompanied his wife back to the west courtyard without his elder brother having to take the initiative to play the bad guy.

The main hall of the outer courtyard.

Old Master Gu was very dissatisfied that his second son did not invite him to rest in the main courtyard at first. It was not like he had been to the main courtyard before. It was very big.

It's just a wipe. If he hadn't heard the old woman say that the bathing room behind the upper room was as big as half the living room in the house, how could there not be room for him in the upper room?

But it's hard to say this out loud. The thief son has grown wings. If he dares to say it, he will be so shameless as to confront him. He doesn't know that his daughter-in-law is washing and changing clothes behind him.

Alas, the son is not like a son, the grandson is not like a grandson, no matter how promising they are, what's the use? I have been away for so many days and I haven't asked him if he is doing well at home. "I'm not sure, but I heard my father say on the way back from the capital to Zhuolu Posthouse, and if we go straight along the road from Baigou Posthouse, we will reach Jintai Posthouse in the capital."

When Gu Laosi asked his sister-in-law whether she had a dowry farm where she could rest on the way to Beijing, Gu Erlang was vague, neither saying yes nor no.

"I didn't stop at the manor in the city when I arrived at Jintai Posthouse. I went to Zhou's village that day and stayed there for one night. Then I returned with the escort team."

"Then did your father mention Lord Zhao? Did he see Uncle Zhao and his wife?"

This is an easy answer. He doesn’t need to hear his father talk about it on the road. His father has mentioned it in a letter before, “Yes, Mr. Zhao is now the Minister of Works.

I heard from my father that the Zhao Mansion is very big, and the stone lions in front of the gate are this tall." Gu Erlang gestured with his hands, describing it in an exaggerated way.

Not only Gu Laosi was envious, but also Old Man Gu praised Old Man Zhao for his good fortune. On the contrary, Gu Laosan smiled and shook his head. After his nephew finished speaking, he smiled and said, "How old is our Liulang?"

The implication was that his nephew was not much worse than Boss Zhao, and might even be more promising. Gu Erlang really liked the fact that his third uncle was optimistic about his younger brother.

What he couldn't say was how could Lord Zhao be compared with his brother. The fact that his brother truly loved his sister-in-law and his original intention was not to marry a noble lady was a hundred times better.

You have to know that Lord Zhao is different from Dajiang. Although Dajiang's marriage seems to be high-class, Dajiang's current wealth is not bad. He is recognized as one of the four young masters in the Zhou family.

Besides, not to mention that Dajiang's father-in-law is Mr. Zhou's actual junior brother, Dajiang also has a good third sister, whether in terms of money or connections?
Apart from the title of the only legitimate daughter of the Zhou family, she has the Gao family, the Qian family, and a group of senior masters behind her, and there is no ordinary person among them.

Zhou Sanya is more cunning than a devil. She uses favors plus favors, money plus money to bind the three families, no, now it’s five families, tightly.

Having such a third sister, who was the one who supported the family from a very young age, Dajiang had already become a popular man and a perfect son-in-law in everyone's eyes based on this fact alone.

Just as Gu Laosi was about to take over the conversation, he saw Gu Erlang stretching out his hand and pushing the fruit plate in front of Gu Sanzhu, which made him laugh before he could say anything.

It's interesting to say.

I don’t know if it’s because his second brother’s two sons are extremely smart, but intelligent children are particularly fond of honest men, so his third brother has taken advantage of them a lot.

They were just taking advantage of small things. Before the family split up, the second brother favored the third brother, and after the split up, even the two children favored their third uncle.

"It's hard to say about people. The eldest son of the Zhao family has been obedient since he was young. He doesn't talk much but he is very polite. When you meet him in town, you always call him Uncle Gu."

"Dad, drink tea."

Gu Laosi didn't expect that his father would become confused again while he was distracted. What could he not say? Saying that the other person "is not talkative but polite" is no different from scolding Liu Lang.

Old Master Gu was interrupted in the middle of his words. Seeing his old son hurriedly handing him the teacup in front of him, he rolled his eyes at his old son in annoyance and said, "You are no match for Zhao Lao Si!"

"..." Gu Laosi laughed angrily, "You are my father, you can say whatever you want." Otherwise, would I still be asking you now why you stopped supporting me in my studies halfway?
They were too embarrassed to stay any longer after the quarrel. "It's my son, isn't it? It's my son who didn't let you get ahead of Mr. Zhao. Mom, how about we come back tomorrow?"
