Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Uncle Cai on the shaft of the car threw a whip and shouted: "Drive!"

The big black horse pulling the cart kicked off its hooves and began to trot smoothly.

The two mules at the back pulled the freshly baked carriage. Not willing to lag behind, they followed happily after they came out of the city gate, but after all, it was getting late.

Those who hurried and hurried slowly found that although there was no snow during the day, there was a lot of snow on the road, which was more or less difficult for travel. It was already dark by the time we arrived at Qinghe Village.

Thinking that the Zhou family had a son studying and would not go to bed early, Gu Erzhu and Liu changed to one of the mule carts at the entrance of the village and went directly to the Zhou family in Hexi.

Just as the mule cart was delivered, I told my in-laws that my son had bought a shop, and also how they got along with Brother Wang in the past.

There are some things that Sanya just can't bring up with Liulang. She would definitely have reminded her father a few things earlier, so she just took the opportunity to chat with her in-laws tonight.

Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Banxia were not surprised that Gu Erzhu and his wife, like Gu Wenxuan, were almost at home and went their separate ways to find their in-laws.

He knew that his parents were doing his best and would give an explanation to his father-in-law. It was impossible for his daughter-in-law to buy a shop without even mentioning it to her in-laws.

At most, it would be consistent with his couple's statement, saying that he had saved some private money, and with the help of his couple's gifts in return, they purchased the property and shop.

Others, like the water thrown out by a married girl, she will become a member of her husband's family when she enters the door. When she gets married, she will obey her husband, and her in-laws will no longer be able to control her, and so on.

His parents wouldn't have it.

Unless the parents-in-law of the two daughters-in-law were greedy and refused to change despite repeated admonitions, which seriously hindered the two brothers, then that would be different.

After walking outside for most of the day, the cold wind howled and it was really cold.

When they got home, Gu Erlang had already returned from the town hospital early, and together with Uncle Cai's family of five, they unloaded the truck while the iron was hot and moved things into the house.

After dinner, I was returning to the west wing when Dajiang Xiaohe came.

"Who sent you here?"

Xiaohe chuckled, "I listened to you. Brother Dagen next door to our house sent us here. At first, my brother and I asked Brother Dagen to come in with us, but he ran away.

It's not that we brothers are rude, he is older than us and ran away before the gate. My third sister also thought that my brother and I were being too little and worried about us going out in the dark. "

The last words were explained to Gu Wenxuan, and Gu Wenxuan, who had almost guessed the truth, couldn't help laughing anymore.

"Third brother-in-law." Dajiang was defeated by his younger brother and raised the book bag he was carrying toward Gu Wenxuan, "Xiaohe and I will not leave tonight. We will go to school with you tomorrow morning."

"I was about to say that I couldn't catch you while I was away during the day, it's a pity. Let's go, the kang in the study is very warm, and the brazier and foot stove are all ready.

You can read or practice calligraphy as you want. The place is very big, with desks, desks, and tables. I don’t want to read and practice calligraphy anymore. Did you see that cabinet? There are Go games there.

Will the river flow? If you don't want to play, you can go to your sister Lao Lao or Bao Ya to play. It's okay to relax for a night or two now and then, and your third sister will definitely not scold you. "

Xiaohe was tempted. He paused with his little feet, turned his head and looked at Dajiang again. Seeing that he had followed the third brother-in-law to the bookcase, his little feet immediately turned around.

He took off his short legs and ran out. When he reached the small hall, he saw Zhou Banxia waving with a half-smile, "Sister, third sister, I am a guest and I don't want to be beaten."

Zhou Banxia was amused and reached out to touch his little brother's head, "The food is all in that cabinet and that cage. Just talk after you finish eating on the table."

"Okay, I know that the third sister loves me the most."

Xiaohe took hold of Zhou Banxia's hand that was holding the box, "I won't eat it now. If you want to eat it, I can take it myself."

"Okay." Zhou Banxia didn't force it, and saw him looking curiously at a wooden box on the ground, which was the wooden box that Mrs. Gao brought from the capital through the inn. It’s not convenient to open it during the day. I have a lot of things to pack when I get home and there are people having dinner, so I haven’t opened it yet.

I gave the return gift and the dowry, and now I just happened to open it to see what was inside. In the middle of my mind, Xia Laxiaohe walked to the wooden box.

Just like the ones she brought back earlier that were framed with wooden slats on the outside for easy transportation, this one just arrived home and was also framed with wooden slats on the outside.

It had been dismantled at this time, and the box still smelled of camphor wood, with a seal affixed to each side of the seal.

He tore off the seal and took out an ancient long lock from the box containing the letters.

Unlock and lift the lid, and there is a gift list in front of you.

"Sister, there is a big red post here."

"This is called a gift list. Generally speaking, wealthy families will put a gift list written on red paper with their gifts.

Because the wives and young ladies of wealthy families have nannies in charge or personal maids, this gift list is for the gift-giver so that the recipient of the gift can see at first glance what good things have been given. "

"I understand. I was afraid that there would be too few gifts, so I wrote them all on red paper. Yes, they were written on the gift list. See if you dare to eat and steal. Is that what you mean?"

Zhou Banxia couldn't help but chuckle, "That's right. Besides this, there is another meaning."

"What is it?"

"If you are a lazy kid who doesn't want to take a look, you can just follow this gift list and ask your housekeeper to prepare a gift in return, okay?" Zhou Banxia picked up a brocade box.

Xiaohe was about to say that he was not a lazy boy, when he saw Zhou Banxia frowning and looking at the box in his hand, "Sister?"

"It's okay, I just can't figure out why I still have the boss jewelry."

Logically speaking, there should be no more jewelry, it was already included in the dowry before.

There were also two wild ginsengs in the box. She was selling medical equipment, but it was obvious that these two ginsengs were at least fifty or sixty years old.

Two as a gift?

And these bird's nests, the quality looks very good. In the past, only the old lady, a few serious ladies and the legitimate ladies could enjoy them, so why did they send them to her?

This move seems to be inconsistent with the rules of the high house. It is normal to give white fungus as a gift. Why did the young lady also prepare a bird's nest for an eldest maid?

Could it be because the New Year gift she prepared earlier contained bear paws?

No, she didn't prepare bear paws for the young lady at all.

At most, after the old lady comes to Yaxing and has it stewed in the small kitchen and served on the table, I can have one or two bites, and the granddaughter-in-law can still compete with the old lady to eat.

What's more, it is very possible that even if the old lady deliberately mentioned such an honest child in front of her children and grandchildren, she would stew it and give it to her great eldest son and great eldest grandson.

Zhou Banxia put down the brocade box and picked up the gift list to look at it.

Remember correctly.

It's true that I didn't write it clearly.

Although the gift list contains the specific items, quantity, or weight, this one is a little unusual and does not include the words "treasure" in front of it like in the past.

Why is this family so strange, especially Mrs. Gao, who specifically hinted in her letter that she could keep Aunt Zhou’s adopted brother who suddenly appeared as a disciple...

"What is this, Third Sister?"
