Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 114 A Happy Family

Gu Wenxuan also guessed that the fact that he picked up a book again had been on the hot search list. In just one morning, even the old man with poor hearing had heard about it.

From far away, he yelled at the top of his lungs - is the second son of the Erzhu family going to school? The shouting could be heard in the whole village from Hedong to Hexi.

If he hadn't used the excuse that his father-in-law and his family were waiting for him to have lunch and then rush to school afterward, he would hardly be able to leave.

It's just that his father-in-law's eyes looked strange. There should be no ink on his face, otherwise his old aunt would have reminded him.

It was cold, but Gu Wenxuan, her uncle, was here. Mrs. Li originally wanted to take the food to the main room, but Gu Wenxuan stopped her, so the family simply ate directly in the kitchen.

The dishes are still very rich.

There are salted elbow scallops and hand-caught lamb chops brought back from Fucheng, as well as old hens stewed with mushrooms, a scrambled egg and two fried home-cooked dishes, almost all of which are hard vegetables.

As for the old hens stewed with mushrooms, scrambled eggs and home-cooked dishes, Zhou Banxia originally didn't want to expose her mother for fear of using too much oil and would not let her get close even if she wanted to light a fire.

It's a pity that Mrs. Li brought it upon herself. She talked about her Sanya's cooking method, pouring oil heavily and sprinkling sugar vigorously, which made the whole family laugh.

Gu Wenxuan had to go to school in the afternoon, but Gu Erzhu didn't let him drink. He treated him like Da Jiang Xiaohe and gave him chicken soup as wine.

There are no separate tables for men and women in the family.

I was sipping wine and soup, eating vegetables, chatting about household chores, chatting and laughing, and suddenly there was a loud voice calling my parents and banging on the door from outside.

Zhou Banxia had talked with Li and others about Zhou Daya before, but she didn't expect that Gu Erzhu guessed it - I didn't get the letter. If your eldest sister doesn't come today, she will come tomorrow.

No, he was here now. He was still locked out of the courtyard door when he arrived. Gu Erzhu said that it was he who had bolted the courtyard door, which made Zhou Banxia happy.

She quickly held down Xiaohe and opened the door herself.

"What's going on? It's closed in broad daylight? I almost thought our parents weren't at home. If it weren't for the smoke coming from the chimney, I would have gone back."

"Staying indoors even when it's cold." Zhou Banxia glanced outside the courtyard door and pulled Zhou Daya in. "Brother-in-law and my nephew didn't come with you?"

"What are you doing here in the cold weather?" Zhou Daya grabbed Zhou Banxia with her backhand and walked quickly inside, "When did you come? I was just wondering to see if you were being bullied by your in-laws."

"Your brother-in-law is here too."

She was also afraid of Gu Liulang, her brother-in-law! Zhou Daya rolled his eyes at the girl and quickly went to lift the curtain and push the door into the kitchen. A wave of hot air with a strong fragrance came to him.

"Dad, you are so partial. My child's father didn't even see how you entertained me. It would be great if my brother-in-law is here. Brother-in-law, our father is stingy. You have to come over a few times to help me vent my anger."

Yelling nonsense again!

Zhou Shun rolled his eyes at his eldest daughter, and stretched out his hand to hold down the third uncle who was drinking soup with him, "They are all members of the family, there is no need to be polite."

"That's true!" Zhou Daya waved her hand towards Gu Wenxuan, who wanted to stand up and bow, "I'm joking, your brother-in-law is here, why don't our parents entertain him well?"

Gu Wenxuan could only smile.

His sister-in-law was very frightening and furious. Without waiting for anyone to reply, she had already crowded around her mother-in-law, but she slapped Xiaohe.

Okay, Xiaohe was eating soup and almost choked.

With another "snap" sound, his mother-in-law quickly hit back and landed a loud slap on the eldest daughter's back.

At the same time, there was a cheer from the father-in-law who cheered "Well done". This family is very festive. When eating a meal, not only do you have to be careful about accidentally choking when drinking the soup, but you also have to be careful about whether your sister-in-law will take pictures of your brother-in-law.

After the meal, Gu Wenxuan sat with Gu Erzhu and chatted for a while. Then Gu Erzhu rushed him to the study room in the east wing to rest for a while and recharge himself to go to school.

Gu Wenxuan was not too polite, and Da Jiang was present, so he simply went to the study with Da Jiang and waited quietly for Zhou Banxia to join him in the study.

Zhou Shushun didn't know if he was affected by his Sanya's words. With his third uncle gone, he felt more and more that Gu Laoer was not simple.

After all, he was able to give birth to such a son and train him well. This shows that Gu Lao Er's hob meat is really deep and he is actually more powerful than Zhou Lao Si!

Zhou Banxia once again made her laugh out loud at her father's words. She made her father a pot of tea so that he could taste the three taels of silver and one tael of tea while he was recovering from his hangover.

Of course, she didn't dare to tell her father now. He drank almost fifty cents in one sip. After all, her father could immediately think of taking the tea leaves to the county town and exchange them for money.

Leaving Gu Erzhu to drink tea, Zhou Banxia went to the study room in the east wing. I don't know where Dajiang Xiaohe went, but he saw Gu Wenxuan packing his book bag alone.

"It seems that you are going to the hall. Just now your eldest sister called Xiaohe, and Dajiang followed him uneasily." After answering Zhou Banxia's answer, Gu Wenxuan did not waste time. He knew that his wife was worried about whether he could adapt to the school in the morning and wanted to know about it in the morning. What classes did you attend?

"In general, it's not bad. There are four classes every day, two in the morning and two in the afternoon. This morning I taught about classics and meaning, and I heard that in the afternoon they mainly teach crafts."

"How did it go?"

"good."

At present, he has memorized the four books together with their annotations. The only thing left is to continue to study and memorize the annotations and notes of each master. As for the Five Classics, he chose "Spring and Autumn" as the main classic.

It is Zhou Xiucai's classic, and it contains the most information about the Five Classics. It also has the largest number of words, making it relatively more difficult to memorize, but not many people chose it.

Zhou Banxia understood.

There is also lunch break. To be precise, there is only half an hour at your disposal, but most students will still arrive at school early.

He planned to stop memorizing during his lunch break and practice calligraphy while sorting out his notes. For example, the pavilion style used in scientific examinations can take up this part of the time.

After studying at home in the afternoon, I would sort out my notes for the afternoon, do my homework, and study the recitation collections. Arrange a period of time like this to catch up first and then talk about other things.

Row!

Zhou Banxia heard that he had made up his mind and didn't ask any more questions. When there was no third person present, he took a peek at the time on the alarm clock. Unknowingly, it was almost half past twelve.

There is class in the late afternoon. It is said to be late in the afternoon. In fact, it is almost one o'clock in the afternoon when I arrive at the school. The Master's lecture will start at one thirty, and it is time to set off.

"how about you?"

"I'll stay until two or three o'clock before going back. It won't be too late. Our parents will get home around three or four o'clock. It's just right for me to go back early and prepare dinner with my sister-in-law."

Gu Wenxuan touched her hand. Fortunately, it was not cold. "It seems that it is better to buy a house early, otherwise time will be wasted on housework."

This is true.

It took almost an hour to clear the snow this morning, and the father and son were busy working together. Also, the concierge must be guarded by servants.

But there was no need to distract him from these trivial matters, she would take care of them. Zhou Banxia nodded and went to call Dajiang Xiaohe that it was time to go to school.
