Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Qian Huaizhi arrived even faster than Zhou Banxia had imagined. Before noon that day, Qian Huaizhi sent his attendant to deliver visiting cards to the Zhou and Gu families with the courtesy of a nephew.

The county lord's attendant first went to the Zhou family, and then to the Gu family. When Zhou Banxia learned that there was a visiting card at home, she didn't know that another visiting card had already arrived at her parents' home.

At this time, her father was still planning to build a brick kiln factory on the farm. He had sent someone to report half an hour ago that there was no problem with the clay for making bricks.

But her father had clearly stated that he had to be home before dark, which meant that he had a lot of preparations to do today and would not be back until dark.

The same goes for her father-in-law.

Some villages need to be visited. Even if you just visit several local villages in a hurry, it will take more than one or two days to finish the tour, but you won't get home before dark.

Fortunately, this man in her family is not like her who has amnesia now. He has mentioned to his father and father-in-law that maybe, possibly, his senior brother Qian will arrive in the near future.

Secondly, perhaps Qian Huaizhi also took into consideration that her father, father-in-law and others had been away for some time and had just returned home, so there were inevitably chores that needed to be taken care of and arranged when they first got home.

Therefore, the content of the visiting card does not specify the date and time of the visit, and you need to reply to confirm, but there is no need to rush to reply immediately to make an appointment for a meeting.

Moreover, according to the time calculated by her family member, it would be the day after tomorrow. Not only would the two fathers have some free time, but even his Senior Brother Qian and County Magistrate Cheng would not have to go to the yamen.

Even if you need to reply immediately?
No problem.

Not to mention that her parents-in-law on her husband's side must have already made arrangements after hearing what their eldest son said, even on her mother's side, her father forgot to make arrangements for a moment, and there is also a housekeeper.

The housekeeper her uncle chose for her father was very good. There hadn't been any problems with his treatment of people so far. She didn't need to wait for the housekeeper to report to her to know that there was no problem.

After listening to the report passed down by Mai Huang about a visiting card arriving and Gu Wenxuan going to the front yard in person, Zhou Banxia nodded to show that he understood and then recalled another matter.

As she had been staying at home all day recently, even though she had gone to the intersection to greet them before, she couldn't see how much of the snow on the back mountain had melted at the intersection.

The sun has been out these two days and the sky has been clear. Last night, I could still hear the sound of snow dripping from the eaves outside. It would be better for Brother Qian to come earlier.

It would be better to arrive a day earlier and take a stroll so that we can deal with it a day earlier. Otherwise, when the river starts to thaw, it will be impossible to match Xuanzi's arrangements when we go up the back mountain.

Gu Wenxuan, who went to the front yard, did not make Zhou Banxia wait long. In less than half an hour, he came back from the outer yard, and it was time for lunch when he returned to the main room in the west courtyard.

After Maixiang and her maids had set the table, the automatic clock in the hall began to ring. It couldn't have been more coincidental, it was exactly twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

Gu Wenxuan had just washed his hands and quickly walked around a screen to Zhou Banxia, ​​who was already seated at the dining table in the side hall, waiting for him to start eating.

After the maids and old women left, Zhou Banxia was just about to ask him that if they chose to hold the banquet the day after tomorrow, should some places in the back mountain be renovated depending on the degree of snow melting?
Gu Wenxuan didn't give her a chance to speak. He handed her the chopsticks and then continued to scoop soup from the soup bowl. He also mentioned that Dajiang had met Qian Huaizhi in the morning.

"... like me, I entered Senior Brother Qian's courtyard from the back of the county government office, but I had to go to the county school afterwards, so Dajiang didn't stay with Senior Brother Qian for long.

Almost immediately after Dajiang left, Senior Brother Qian sent someone to deliver a visiting card to us. In addition, he bought the Qian Mansion. His wife, Baili Hongzhuang, was about to arrive, so he bought the house and was about to move in with his family after his wife arrived.

According to his long-time attendant, the original Qian Mansion has been repaired and is almost complete, just in time for his wife to move in once she arrives."

That will arrive soon.

Zhou Banxia nodded to show that she heard it. Seeing that Gu Wenxuan seemed to be about to say something else, she simply did not interrupt him and waited quietly while eating.

"I don't know if it's my illusion, but after listening to what the visitor said, Senior Brother Qian's wife seems to be very spoiled and not good at socializing."

Zhou Banxia thought for a moment, swallowed the food in his mouth, and seeing that he didn't speak, he gestured for him to eat by himself and replied, "Are you being squeamish?

With today's parenting style, as long as the family has a little bit of wealth, it is inevitable that the daughter of a wealthy family will be pampered with fine clothes and delicious food.

What's more, her parents' family is wealthy and her husband's family is powerful. Just having a princess mother-in-law should make her very popular among the officials' wives in Jiangnan.

Not to mention being spoiled, it wouldn't be surprising if she was arrogant. As for not being good at socializing, Senior Brother Qian is not a bastard, and it's even less likely that he is in love.

It is impossible for children of wealthy families like them who have been carefully nurtured to put love first. Unless the woman they like happens to be of equal status, no matter how favored she is, a wife is not a concubine after all."

Gu Wenxuan thought that this was right. It was undeniable that Senior Brother Qian was very similar to your eldest brother. In their concepts, there was no such thing as love being supreme. Even if they were attracted to each other, they would take concubines and beauties. Wives were to be respected.

"His wife is the eldest daughter of a fifth-rank general. Even if she is married to a lower-ranking general, she is still the eldest daughter of a powerful family. How precious is the eldest daughter of a powerful and wealthy family.

Not to mention the eldest legitimate daughter, even a concubine's daughter, a concubine's daughter from a respectable family, could not have failed to learn how to socialize with others. This is an indispensable and compulsory course.

If his parents came from a poor family, it could be said that they had a poor background and could not hire a good female teacher or a good nanny, but a family like his wife would not be unable to hire one.

Besides, the man would definitely investigate the woman's character before proposing marriage. A fifth-rank general would not take the risk of deceiving Prince Rui's own grandson just to marry someone of higher status.

The other person should just be relatively introverted, talk less, and look more calm. When choosing someone as a daughter-in-law, you should consider the balance.

Although I have only met this county magistrate once, he has a rather volatile personality. Generally speaking, parents would choose a more stable daughter-in-law for their son with such a temperament.

Is this true? Uncle Qian only has a few sons. It is unrealistic for this daughter-in-law to have no merits. She must have some merits that we don't know about.

Otherwise, it's impossible that she was chosen just for the big dowry. Forget it, let's not talk about her. When I meet her in person, I will pay more attention to her, and then I will naturally understand how to get along with her.

Now, the people haven't arrived yet. Even if they did, with my big belly, if they came to visit us, they wouldn't be so stupid as to ask me to talk for a long time when we meet.

There are very few young ladies from noble families who are as simple as Madam Zhao. You can tell from my eldest sister-in-law's behavior that she is the mainstream. So far, I have heard that the only young lady from a noble family who is so easy to deceive is Madam Zhao." (End of this chapter)
