Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Do I not need to read Chapter 995 again?
You've uncovered every single secret of the Zhao family. Is there anything you don't know?
Gu Wenxuan almost burst out laughing at the teasing, but luckily he held back at the crucial moment, lest he disturb his son who was sleeping soundly and pouting.

"It will take at least another half an hour for him to wake up." Although the baby was only a few days old, Zhou Banxia had already roughly figured out how long her son slept each time.

If a child wets their diaper and is changed before going to sleep, and is also full, they can sleep until around 5 PM, "and might even sleep until dark."

As long as he's sound asleep, a few laughs won't wake him up. At noon, many elders chat and laugh here, so the child can just sleep.

She sleeps quite well. Occasionally, she'll be disturbed and move around as if she's about to wake up, but a gentle pat will send her right back to sleep. I wonder who she takes after in this respect.

Zhou Banxia withdrew her gaze from her son, and before she could turn her head, she saw Gu Wenxuan put the letter, which had somehow been folded back into its original shape, back into the envelope and hand it to her.

Don't you need to watch it again?
It seems there's really no need to read it again and ponder it carefully. In other words, it really is just an ordinary family letter. Oh well, if he doesn't want to talk about it, he'll definitely keep his mouth shut during this month of confinement.

only?

Instead of quickly rummaging through the other things in the bundle, why did you pick up that stack of gift lists? These copied gift lists are incomplete.

If you want to see the gift list, wouldn't it be clearer to look at the gift exchange register? Don't tell me there's only one register, which Aunt Lan already sent to your mother.

Oh right, there's also a register of social obligations that needs to be handed to her. Zhou Banxia suddenly realized that she still didn't know what kind of third-day celebration her father had prepared for his grandson.

Of course, she saw the clothes, shoes, bags, and other items for the child. Her mother had brought them in earlier but hadn't put them down for her to see before placing them in the north room.

However, the longevity locks, bracelets, and anklets made for the child were not made of silver as previously mentioned, and her mother wouldn't let her take a look at them, taking them to the north room to put them away.

She said that her father had instructed her before she came that the longevity lock, bracelet, anklet, clothes, shoes and bags she wore today should all be one of the sets carefully prepared by her aunt.

In addition, she has a lot of relatives, and after her mother finished speaking, gifts from her relatives kept coming in one after another throughout the morning.

The south room couldn't hold it all, so boxes were even placed in the hall. And that's how the gifts sent directly to her were only a part of the congratulatory gifts.

In that case, her father will probably have to grit his teeth and prepare a lot of gifts for his grandson's third-day celebration. "Why don't I see my father's gift list here?"

There's none?
Gu Wenxuan raised an eyebrow, thinking of the gift list in his hand. His wife must have looked at it beforehand, so he didn't need to flip through the rest of the gift list. "Maybe someone forgot to copy it down."

Or maybe your dad was worried that someone on our side would announce the gifts, so he deliberately put up a red paper instead of a gift list. All I know is that your dad prepared a generous gift.

When I went to the gate to greet your father, I heard someone outside say that your father had brought a whole oxcart full for our son's third-day celebration, and it took several people to carry it in.

She had heard about this, and she also knew why her father didn't use a mule cart to carry the gifts, but instead chose an ox cart, saying that using an ox was more auspicious and brought better omens.

As for why it wasn't a carriage, it's said that there wasn't enough room. That's what puzzled her the most. She had prepared something for her grandson's third-day celebration, but there wasn't even enough room for a carriage.

"No rush, it'll happen sooner or later. Once Mai Qing is done and comes back, you'll know what kind of gifts your father gave you. They were generous. Da Jiang can make up for it when he goes on his study tour."

Is that what I meant? If people overheard, they'd think I was so afraid my family would suffer, and that I deliberately brought it up before you to make you bring it up yourself. It's better not to say it.

It was just a trivial family matter, and there was no need to rush to know it. Even if Dad didn't prepare much for the third-day celebration, he still had to prepare more travel expenses for Dajiang's studies.

"Alright, I understand. Shouldn't you go out and have dinner with the guests? There's nothing else for me here, so you can go and do your work."

"Look, you're back to your old ways again!" Gu Wenxuan rolled his eyes at Zhou Banxia, ​​who was urging him to leave, and said irritably, "You scumbag woman!"

What's going on? Zhou Banxia couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and laughed, "I'm not worried that you're too busy. If we didn't have other customers, I'd love to stay with you—"

"Come on, after your second brother and the others leave, you'll say it's not good that I took so much leave, and you'll tell me to hurry up and show my face at the county school. Do you think I don't know who you are?"

As he spoke, Gu Wenxuan gave her a disdainful look. "Do you think I care about you? I don't want to go out because I care about my son, okay?"
I just wanted to wait for my son to wake up, not to cling to you. Your father already invited your second uncle and his family to his place for dinner tonight before he went back.”

If you hadn't added that superfluous sentence, I would have actually believed you had a son and didn't need a wife!

Zhou Banxia suppressed a laugh and cupped her hands in apology, "I'm sorry, it was my fault. Did Second Uncle and the others agree?"

Gu Wenxuan raised his chin and glanced at her sideways. "Of course, your father said it was a simple family dinner, how could they not go? It's just that I, Lord Taishan, am being a little biased this time."

He actually sent your brother-in-law instead of me, saying things like, "We have family to take care of." He has no idea how much his third daughter dislikes her son-in-law, and he wants him to stay home more to spend time with her.

"Alright, that's enough." His tone was sarcastic. "You think you're your grandfather? I'm your father, aren't I?" Even your father wouldn't tolerate him or pay him any attention. Oh, right, "Did you send someone to deliver a meal to the old man at noon?"

Gu Wenxuan nodded noncommittally. He really didn't want to mention that biased, muddle-headed, and incompetent old man who was only good at bullying his own family, but the old man was just lucky!

This is not!

"Your second uncle and your second brother also want to visit the old man tomorrow morning."

What follows?

"Grandpa didn't say that the old man twisted his ankle. He only said that the weather is still cold and warm. Although the old man was cold before and has recovered recently, he is still weak and tired and needs to rest for some time."

When your second uncle heard this, he said he wanted to visit the old man first thing the next morning. There weren't many people who heard this at the time, just my father, your father, and your second grandfather.

Before my great-grandfather said those things, he and my second great-grandfather invited your second uncle to their house for a visit. The atmosphere was just right, and your second uncle answered quickly, so I didn't have time to interrupt or stop them.

Zhou Banxia was quite surprised after hearing this. As long as her parents-in-law didn't break off relations with the old man and woman and were adopted out, her second uncle would still go to the old house since he knew that the old man couldn't attend today because he needed to rest.

This is a matter of etiquette.

The point is not whether we can see the old man in person. Even if the old man is recuperating and cannot receive guests, my second uncle and his family will still bring gifts to visit. It is not something that can be stopped by any means.
