Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 921 Three Things

Zhou Molan came out faster than Liu had imagined. She had just stepped into the back door of the workshop and had not yet stepped into the side building when Zhou Molan came out to greet her.

It’s okay to come to greet her, but it’s not okay for this old sister to be polite. She always replies nicely, but she doesn’t change her ways next time. I have to give up on correcting her completely.

Chatting and laughing as they walked towards the side building, Liu knew that the head steward Chang Qing had not returned with the goods yet, and Zhou Banxia had shown signs of giving birth in the past two days, so Zhou Molan would be even busier, busy with everything, busy with managing and training the staff, and also busy rushing back to the west courtyard before dark.

Therefore, she did not say much nonsense. After entering one of the main rooms in the side building and the rest of the people left, Liu first mentioned that the child wanted to live in the north room of the east wing tomorrow night.

In this regard, as long as her little girl has not started giving birth, Zhou Molan would say that as long as her little girl is happy, she can live in any room she likes.

She is not worried about anything now, but is worried that her daughter will only report good news and not bad news. She is obviously nervous about the birth, but pretends to be calm and takes it all.

Now that the son-in-law wants to accompany her and live in the east wing or north room first, that's even better. It won't be too late to discuss taboos when the girl is about to give birth and moves to the south room.

No matter whether it is the wife or the wife of the in-laws, at this critical moment, who can make the girl feel at ease better than having the son-in-law by her side.

Zhou Molan felt that she was not in a position to say these words, but how could she not understand Liu's good intentions for her daughter-in-law? It would be inappropriate to ask her to thank her.

Therefore, after personally brewing tea for Liu, Zhou Molan picked up the teacup that had just been placed in front of Liu with both hands, and then handed it to Liu with both hands.

Seeing this, Liu took the teacup with a smile on her face. After taking a sip of tea, she went on to talk about the second thing, that it was very likely that the county magistrate would come the day after tomorrow.

In fact, Liu had already sent her butler Gu Dahua to find an opportunity to report this matter to Zhou Molan this morning. Zhou Molan also asked Gu Dahua to convey the message to Liu.

Bringing up this matter again at this time is equivalent to talking about the banquet held to entertain the new county magistrate Qian Huaizhi. There is no third person present, so we need to expand on it.

Liu admitted that she didn't know how to divide the profits properly, so she invited this nephew who was not only a close relative but also the county magistrate who was the parent official of the county.

After all, her Gu family is not like her in-laws, the Zhou family. Even if it is the first visit, the Zhou family can treat them as nephews who are close friends. Should her Gu family be more cautious in their etiquette?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Molan was not in a hurry to reply, or to give an accurate answer immediately. She first talked about her memory of Princess Yong'an like telling a story.

Since Princess Yong'an was a few years younger than her county lady, she had seen Princess Yong'an and her county lady interacting when she was young, until something unexpected happened in the Duke of Liang's Mansion.

Afterwards, her county lady hid her name until the Zhou family was cleared of the injustice. During this period, Princess Yong'an had no idea that her county lady had been in Gao's house.

However, Princess Yong'an's biological father, Prince Rui, is an insider. It is unknown whether Princess Yong'an blames Prince Rui or not, but she dislikes Madam Gao very much.

Because of the friendship between her county lady and Old Madam Gao when she was young, Princess Yong'an helped Old Madam Gao more for the sake of her county lady after learning the bad news.

Perhaps she blamed Madam Gao for hiding the truth from her, or perhaps she couldn't even see her county lady for the last time, so Princess Yong'an cut off all contact with Madam Gao. When her county lady's coffin was sent to the ancestral tomb for burial, Princess Yong'an sent her legitimate son to Zhoujia Village to pay respects and send off the funeral, but she also sent a letter to Madam Gao.

What was written in the letter was basically just reminiscing, bringing up old things, speaking up for her county lady, and scolding Old Madam Gao and so on.

In short, Princess Yong'an is a person who hates evil and hates evil. The reason why she follows Lord Qian to take up a permanent post and rarely returns to the capital is also related to the experience of her family's county master.

When her princess was young, she was favored by the emperor and was given the title Fu'an, which was given on the day of her third baptism. The current Princess Huian was given the title much later than her princess.

If her county lady had not had that incident, she would have been either the Crown Princess or the Prince's Consort. At that time, among her county lady's close friends, Old Madam Gao was not considered to have a prominent family background.

Sigh, I have strayed off topic, so I won’t mention it anymore. “…Although Princess Yong’an and my county lady separated when they were young, they were at their best when they were apart.

No matter how rich you are, Lord Qian and Lord Zhou of our family are fellow disciples and brothers. In my opinion, the relationship between the two families is still better than that of the Gao family.

The two families are more like close friends. When he arrives the day after tomorrow, Young Master Qian will go to Hexi first and then come to our place. Wouldn't it be more intimate to treat him as Second Master's brother-in-law?"

After listening to this, Liu thought about it and felt that this was the most appropriate thing to do. If it was too grand, since he was after all a senior official, it would inevitably give the impression of currying favor with him. In the public eye, she had to be cautious about what to avoid.

"Thank goodness for you, Sister Lan, otherwise I would be at a loss again." Since the second matter had already been decided, Liu sighed and talked about the last matter while the iron was hot, "Also, can you help me calculate the bed-making?"

What's there to discuss? Haven't we already prepared how to invite the fetal god? Zhou Molan asked in confusion, "Do you want to change to a perfect person?"

"No, I'm going to go to the child's great grandfather's house after I get out of here and ask him to pick an auspicious time. I'll also say hello to the child's aunt and ask her to come over tomorrow morning. I want you to help me figure out what I've forgotten."

this?

Zhou Molan knew what Liu wanted her to check as soon as she heard it. Although Zhoujia Village was not far from here compared to the capital, the local customs were different in each village. "Wait a minute, I'll go get the book."

Just as Zhou Molan understood the meaning of the words, Liu also knew that Zhou Molan had stood up to look for some book. There was no need for her to wait for Zhou Molan to find the book and open it. She knew without thinking twice that it was the book that Zhou Molan recorded the customs of Qinghe Village.

I have to say there is one interesting thing. No matter whether it is her or the child's Aunt Lan, both of them are not locals, but when it comes to the various local customs of Qinghe Village, there are really few people who know them better than them.

After careful inquiry, I found out that in just a small village like Qinghe, some customs are different for the Gu and Zhou families. So there are so many local customs, so fragmented and messy. Fortunately, "a good memory is not as good as a bad pen."

Look, Aunt Lan has filled up a thick notebook with notes. Yes, it is a notebook that is almost as thick as the Book of Rites, one of the Four Books and Five Classics. Aunt Lan even wrote down what offerings should be prepared for each ceremony.
