Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Seeing the child's father happy, the old man is not a problem anymore? Liu heard Gu Erzhu's hearty laughter from a distance, which relaxed her anxious mood.

"Hey, your mother has come out to wait for us." Gu Erzhu said with a smile and reminded his son softly, "She must be thinking about what your grandfather said."

Gu Erlang nodded in understanding, first shouted "Mom" loudly, then muttered "Dad, my mother is afraid that you will be wronged", while he took the lead and walked quickly towards Liu.

What's the rush?

Looking at the mother and son in front of him who were so excited that they seemed to have not seen each other for eight lifetimes, Gu Erzhu couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, "Why aren't you waiting in the house?"

"It's only a few steps away." Liu didn't mention that she couldn't stay inside any longer. "Where's Sanya's father? Did he go back with Dajiang first?"

"Yes, as soon as the carriage in front left, someone invited them to go back. Don't worry, the scholar is here at the Zhou family, so he won't be able to handle it."

I'm not worried that Sanya's father can't deal with the old man from the Zhou family. Sanya's father is not you. If anyone dares to say anything bad about old man Zhou, Sanya's father will immediately get angry.

You are not as good as San Ya's father in letting go of things, Liu said silently as she walked half a step behind Gu Erzhu, "San Ya's father is a wise man."

"Yes, 'Do not be happy with things, do not be sad with yourself.' I see that he is keeping this in mind more and more now. Maybe he will recite it silently before doing anything."

"Daughter Xiao's father."

Liu agreed with her eldest son's statement. Of course, this "girl" was San Ya, not Daya. Daya had not yet learned to hide her emotions and keep her thoughts secret from others.

Unlike San Ya, if the midwife didn't ask or tell her, God knows how San Ya felt with a big belly. Her personality of only reporting good news and not bad news made Liu Lang very worried.

Now that things have come to this, Liu no longer has time to pay attention to what Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu did before the father and son came back, or how the old people in the Gu family reacted.

She quickly told Chen Wenpo the conclusion of "maybe, possible", and then emphasized that now everyone including Doctor Lin was guarding the West Courtyard.

Hearing this, Gu Erzhu was not surprised. He said that San Ya had also started it in the past two days, but her pace was much faster.

"Has anyone been sent to inform Uncle Zhou San and his wife?" Gu Erlang followed closely and turned to look at his mother.

"Not yet. Your brother was afraid that the noise would be too loud and alarm San Ya. When mother came out, San Ya didn't even know that your Aunt Chen and the others were still in her front yard."

"..." This is something his brother would do! Gu Erlang's steps suddenly stopped, "Then I won't go back with you, I'll go to my master."

If the eldest son hadn’t said anything, Gu Erzhu would have almost forgotten that he should have invited Doctor Dong to come over earlier, “Let’s go and tell your Uncle Zhou San what your Aunt Chen said.

Needless to say, your uncle Zhou San can already think of a way to prevent your aunt Zhou San from making too much noise. If you want to find him, you don't have to go to his father, just wait at the scholar's house."

Seeing Gu Erzhu taking big strides forward as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Erlang originally wanted to ask whether he should also tell the old lady, but seeing this, he had to quickly respond with "I know."

It was really not that he forgot that the old lady had repeatedly warned him that if San Ya was about to give birth, she must send someone to tell her. It was just that Aunt Chen speculated that the baby had not started yet.

exactly!
It's not that he didn't inform the old lady first, it's just that the time is not yet right, and it's still a long way from "tonight". At most, it's almost dark now.

Over there, Zhou Sishun and Dajiang, father and son, were different from Gu Erzhu and his son who were "invited" to the Gu clan leader's house and faced a room full of elders. There were obviously fewer elderly people sitting in the main hall of the Zhou clan leader's house. If Zhou Banxia was there, she would see that there were not as many elderly people sitting there as the night before.

The night before, all the clan leaders and elders were present in the main hall of her house. Now, there were only three old men in the main hall of Clan Leader Zhou's house.

These three old men are Patriarch Zhou, Scholar Zhou, and Zhou Taiye, who is Zhou Banxia’s third grandfather, Master Taishan of Gu Yangqing.

In addition to these three elderly men, also present were the eldest son of the old patriarch Zhou, who was about to take over as patriarch of the Zhou clan, as well as Zhou Chang'an from the second branch of the Zhou clan, and Zhou Changzhi from the third branch of the Zhou clan.

Then there is Zhou Changhan from the fourth house and Zhou Changgen from the fifth house. It can be said that the next patriarch and elder of the Qinghe Zhou family has already surfaced at this time.

These eight people, including the old patriarch Zhou who always liked to smooth things over, saw Zhou Sishun and Dajiang come in, and waited until everyone was seated before praising the younger generation.

His style this time was very similar to that of old patriarch Gu. He directly handed the field over to Grandpa Zhou San, who then asked Zhou Sishun and Dajiang father and son.

I have to say, this is a smart move.

Whether it is Mr. Zhou who was adopted since childhood, or Zhou Sishun who was adopted away, in terms of blood relationship, Mr. Zhou San is naturally the closest to the two of them.

Furthermore, Zhou Sishun's third uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou San, have done him a great favor, and Zhou Sishun would give them some face no matter how hard he tries.

So, whenever this person asked a question, Zhou Sishun would give a respectful reply as long as he could answer it. If there were questions that were difficult to answer frankly, he would try his best to give reasons why he didn't know.

Similarly, people are close to each other, and it is impossible for Mr. Zhou San to make things difficult for his nephew. After helping his old brothers to find out the puzzlement, he stopped talking.

He was a man of few words, which made the old patriarch Zhou sigh inwardly that he was worthy of being an old brother born by his father and mother. He didn't know how to take over the conversation.

Fortunately, his eldest son was very capable and had a clever way of speaking. He immediately made his two older brothers and nephews laugh and joke, and even the kid Dajiang started to laugh.

This is what a family is. How can they always care about their brother-in-law and not help their own family? Be it Gu Jialiu Lang, San Ya's contribution is limitless.

Nowadays, who wouldn’t envy the Zhou family for having such a promising girl like San Ya? But now that the young man from the Li family has been promoted, how can they still forget their own family?

It's not that he is old and thick-skinned. San Ya has helped a lot here, and he is even thinking about asking Dajiang to find a job for the clan.

The Gu family in Hedong and the Li family in front both have people working in the yamen, so they can't have no one there. If they tell others about it, both the Gu and Li families will be in trouble.

"...If there is a way to not hinder your future, it doesn't have to be a very good job. Once you find it, you can choose who to give it to. Just let me know when you get back."

Patriarch Zhou was secretly thinking about how to say the words quickly without offending anyone, but he didn't expect that someone would bring it up when he was distracted.

This man is his good eldest son.

"We can't be impatient about this matter." After taking over the conversation, Mr. Zhou picked up the teacup slowly, "especially at this critical moment.

Although the outside world still doesn't know that the county master is coming today, it will be known sooner or later. Let's wait and see. It will be more appropriate to discuss it after Liu Lang's autumn examination." (End of this chapter)
