Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Gu Wenxuan subconsciously compared the brain and personality of Zhao Ergu, as his father had mentioned, with that of his mother, and wondered why his father had to marry only his mother if she could match him.

"Of course, your Third Aunt Zhao ignored me later. She felt that scholars were good, and the man she is with now is the one she chose."

What a turning point!

"Do you know why I brought this up?" Gu Erzhu asked without expecting his son to reply, "I went to the Zhao residence in the capital this time.

Let’s not talk about that trip for now. Let’s just say that later when I went out with your father-in-law, I happened to meet your Grandpa Zhao and your Fourth Uncle Zhao and they were all getting along well. At that time, they were invited to the restaurant’s private room.

Even your Grandpa Zhao nodded and smiled when your Fourth Uncle Zhao joked that I almost became his brother-in-law. Do you understand what this means?"

"You want to get close to me and marry me, and you're targeting my sister? No, you want to marry me, but the generations are not right. It's Xiaohe. Is the Zhao family targeting Xiaohe's marriage again?"

Gu Erzhu didn't know whether he should praise his son for being smart and even guessing all this. "What else? Besides this, what else?"

"You're still not giving up, and you want to take advantage of my father-in-law's presence to make him think that you're not only close to Uncle Zhao, but you're almost becoming Mr. Zhao's son-in-law?
Even if you don't agree, let my father-in-law tell my wife, hoping that my wife will agree so that he can get a share of the pancreas from Uncle Zhao?
Are you sick in the brain? Not to mention that you are not the son-in-law of the Zhao family, even if my grandfather asks me to do so, my wife will not listen to you and only listen to her father?

Why are you saying these things? My mother is still here. You are so bold. Do you want to upset my mother? Does my mother know about this? What does Zhao Laosi want to do? "

Gu Erzhu listened to his son's speechless speech and couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. "Hold on!"

"Dad, this is urgent." Gu Wenxuan moved closer to his father with an excited look on his face, "Isn't Aunt Zhao thinking you're good again?"

With a "slap", Gu Erzhu slapped his old son, "What nonsense are you talking about! What nonsense is that? Hahaha, do you think I've lost my mind!"

Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing. Didn't you say she was crazy and unladylike earlier? "Dad, are you worried that they have other intentions?"

Finally speaking a serious word, Gu Erzhu nodded heavily, "Logically speaking, no matter how foolish your Grandpa Zhao is, he would know that it is not a good deal.

Why did he keep dragging his old son into this? Could he really have angered your Third Uncle Zhao? Your Third Uncle Zhao is the money bag of the Wang family.

Maybe in the eyes of the Wang family, your Third Uncle Zhao is much more useful than your Great Uncle Zhao. They can't even protect your Third Uncle Zhao, so don't bother with it.

Your father-in-law and I were wondering if the Wang family was behind this and was planning something, but it didn't look like Madam Qian's son's intentions were related to the Wang family.

What is the Wang family planning behind this? It would be much easier to find Madam Qian's son. Isn't Madam Qian closer to you and your wife than the Zhao family?"

"That's right." Gu Wenxuan responded first, "It doesn't seem like the Wang family is behind this. Since Wang Daru resigned due to illness, the Wang family has not stepped forward.

Even if the Wang family is short of money, and my husband has retired to recuperate, the Wang family still dares to set their sights on my wife. Even without military honors, the censor cannot tolerate the Wang family's arrogance.

You and my father-in-law can rest assured. With the dowry as a protection, not only the Wang family but also the Rui Palace will not easily plot to murder me and my wife.

Unless I, your son, become an official with great power one day, I will be in dire straits. So I am not kidding when I say I will not pursue a career in government. With my wife's ability to make money, I can be a wealthy and idle person with a good reputation. I don't want to think about it and work hard to get involved in this mess, don't you think so?"

"..."That makes a lot of sense. A person's life is very long if you look at it, but it's only a few decades if you look at it at the shortest. With fine clothes and delicious food and a horde of servants, what else do you want?
Bah, you bastard! "Oh, you just want to live a happy life, where is your eldest daughter?" Gu Erzhu gave his eldest son a look of contempt.

"Hey, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Once she is married, she belongs to another family. Can I still control her for her whole life——"

"piss off!"

"Hahaha..." Gu Wenxuan laughed out loud and was slapped by his father as expected, "Be gentle."

Gu Erzhu slapped his son's arm again with such force that he felt even more amused and helpless, "You've become so successful that you're even teasing your father.

No matter what, you should be on guard against others. It's always better to be more careful. You don't need to say anything about your Uncle Zhao. Dad will talk to him later."

"Okay, he will probably be back by Dragon Boat Festival this time. Uncle Zhao and Mr. Tian have been talking about inviting you to meet my father-in-law."

Gu Erzhu was not surprised by this. It was something he had expected. "I see. Besides these five families, which other new families have emerged?"

"Cheng County Yu is the most glorious now, and the County Magistrate and the Chief Clerk dare not show up, but the two families behind the County Magistrate and the Chief Clerk, the three families of Zhao, Tian, ​​and Liao, still give them a lot of respect."

"Has the new county lieutenant not taken office yet?"

"Still on the way, almost there." Speaking of this, Gu Wenxuan subconsciously lowered his voice again, "Dad, do you still remember Mr. Fang?"

"The Mr. Fang who is at odds with the Hetian family?"

"The enemy is him. In addition to being fined tens of thousands of silver coins, he has to withdraw from our Qingyang County, but the new county lieutenant is related to him.

The only difference is that unlike the previous case where County Lieutenant Huang owed his father a favor, the upcoming new County Lieutenant was introduced by Mr. Fang’s brother-in-law.

Not many people know this nowadays. I heard this because Senior Brother Qian thought Mr. Fang owed me a favor, so he asked Mr. Fang's brother-in-law to introduce this person to the position. It was basically because Mr. Gao didn't want to have any grudges with Mr. Fang's brother-in-law's faction.

As for County Magistrate Huang, I actually didn't do anything. I just said some nice words out of consideration. After all, unless we can eradicate the root of the problem, who knows if we will be retaliated by his descendants. County Magistrate Huang also owes me a favor.

There is no way. All of them came to me one after another. Even if I keep finding excuses not to show up and go to see County Magistrate Cheng, sooner or later people will find out that the new county magistrate and I are brothers in the same school. Of course, it is impossible for me, your son, to help the evil.

The sentencing of those involved in the case this time will still be carried out according to the law. The thing is, it's not as simple as bringing down County Magistrate Huang. Not only did the Tian family make a big effort, the Liao family also got involved. Senior Brother Qian doesn't want my husband and I to offend anyone.

Next, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Fang will most likely come to our house before leaving. He won't make a big show when he comes. If I'm not at home, it's better for us to entertain him according to the old rules."

Gu Erzhu nodded slowly, "Dad knows this. If you want to be at home, it would be better to say that you are not at home. If so, not only the Gao family is involved, but at least three families are involved?" (End of this chapter)
