Chapter 240 Dismissal
After Taoist Master Qingfeng got on the carriage and left, the banquet really started. They exchanged glasses of wine, drank wine, and drank wine until the end of the day.

Gu Wenxuan couldn't bear it anymore after sending away the guests.

Although everyone asked him to drink tea instead of wine because he had to take the college examination, socializing today was still particularly exhausting.

“Some asked if they could buy goods from us, some joked that we can’t just take care of our own village, and asked when it would be their turn to hire workers from neighboring villages.

Some people said that they knew someone, they were doing something, and they wanted to supply us with goods, such as greased paper for wrapping soap, and some people said that the old uncle was too busy.

In short, when I was caught, people asked me all kinds of questions. I was a customer when I came to my door, so it was hard to ignore him. People said that Rokuro was a good boy.

Originally, we were worried that the nephew of the Gu family would become a scholar and we would be out of reach. Well, now someone is calling our father’s name and respecting our father for his ability to educate his son.

It's hard to say enough to make our dad happy. If your dad and Uncle Ma hadn't been so quick, our dad would have praised you and your sister-in-law for how good they are.

Ahem, cough, cough, as for me, brothers all know what kind of virtue I have, but I am really not the father who knows how to teach my sons. My two sons cannot live without my two daughters-in-law!

Hahaha, when you get too drunk, Uncle Ma will interrupt you as hard as you can.

Your father then shouted, "Drink, drink, drink. Let's all drink and eat to our heart's content today."

I thought that I, Mr. Taishan, must have been in a panic at that time, otherwise I could let everyone eat and drink with ease, okay?

Tsk, tsk, tsk, my prodigal daughter! "

Zhou Banxia endured the pain in her stomach while laughing, and punched him with a fist.

Don't learn to talk, it's hard to get alone together and you still don't talk about business.

Gu Wenxuan immediately clasped his little fists with both hands and did not wait for Zhou Banxia to ask, "The old god didn't say anything strange. He just prayed for us and gave us the peace charm."

Zhou Banxia thought to himself that the same was true. If he had said "Now that he has come, let him be in peace" on the spot, he would have had the opportunity to return to the inner square to find him. How could he have waited until the banquet was over.

"Put (the amulet) on you first, then take it out when you get home." Thinking that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were still outside, Zhou Banxia asked Gu Wenxuan to rest for a while.

This is the courtyard where I live in the workshop, but I don’t have to worry about outsiders breaking in. It’s just the right place to relax, and it’s not too late to go home after dark.

Gu Wenxuan thought for a while, even if he went out together, the tables, chairs, dishes, and chopsticks would be sorted and cleaned, and the workshop would run as usual. It seemed that there was nothing he could do to help his wife.

As for those gifts?

It is estimated that his mother will not accept it, but now that Gu Dachang's wife is taking care of it, he can just sort it out and register it in the warehouse later. Gu Wenxuan simply cannot lie down.

"Let Zhi Ming stay outside. Except for my own family, everyone will say that I am asleep. Don't let outsiders come in. I just want to think about what else needs to be arranged before going out."

"Row."

She was not envious, the person lying down was still using his brain.

"Where is your Brother Liulang?" Mrs. Liu saw that only Zhou Banxia came out, "Did your father call you away?
Didn't I tell your father that whether they want to buy land as a village or as an individual, don't drag Rokuro to listen. "

"No, no." Seeing that her mother-in-law had misunderstood, Zhou Banxia quickly explained that it was not her father-in-law's fault, but that she did not want Gu Wenxuan to get involved.

"Fortunately, you are smart. It's not that I think it's troublesome, but there's no need to listen. It's up to the clan leader to make the final decision on this matter. Don't do it stupidly."

"That's right, whoever said that they want to buy but don't have the money to borrow it from Brother Liulang? Do you want to borrow it or not? 'To save someone in an emergency, not to help the poor'. What else can you say, mother?"

Mrs. Liu burst into laughter, and patted her old daughter-in-law in a state of confusion, "You're so embarrassed. The four brothers of the Zhao family all followed the gift. Did you hear that?"

Zhou Banxia nodded, "When Uncle Zhao and his two brothers came, they registered the gifts at the door, and Uncle Chang handed me a note. It was a great gift."

"Is it related to the fact that the Zhao family feels they owe you a favor and want to repay the favor, so they sent you a special gift?" "Probably not. To repay the favor, it is not necessary for all four brothers to follow the gift. It seems more like, I think all four of them have contact with our family."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu thought for a while, "If Mrs. Gaofu opens a workshop, considering that a large family in the city is very well-connected, is this gift from the Zhao family considered a generous gift?"

How should I answer this question? Zhou Banxia wanted to scratch his head, "The Zhao family should have left us as a courtesy based on their marriage relationship with Mrs. Qian.

If the Zhao family and the Gaofu family were the same family, it would be hard to say what the gifts would be. The Gaofu family would have to divide the return gifts into upper-class, upper-class, and middle-class according to the gift list.

The Gao Mansion and the Zhou Mansion are not like the Qian Mansion. One of their families was a founding military figure who became a civil servant, and the other was a founding counselor who was in charge of the Ministry of Accounts and later transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. "

Ms. Liu was suddenly startled. She knew that Gao Fu was a founding military figure, but the child's father didn't tell her that Zhou Fu was also a founding counselor.

Founding adviser?
Mr.Zhou?

Ministry of Internal Affairs?
How many years ago?

Something happened in Dingzhou Zhou?
Master Sanya’s natural surname is Shu.

hiss.

"Their family has a strong foundation. They all followed Taizu. From generation to generation, they have very strict rules.

However, when it comes to my uncle's generation, he is different from Mr. Gao. He said that his rules are the rules of the Zhou family and told me not to be afraid of offending anyone. "

After saying this, Zhou Banxia blinked at her mother-in-law and raised her chin in dismay.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help laughing when she saw this, and hesitated for a moment, "Your master--" From her father's side, "Does she have an aunt or a concubine?"

Zhou Banxia was shocked, "Mom, how did you know? My father didn't even know.

I still heard my aunt mention it accidentally. I even looked through the book and couldn't find any record of it. "

Alas, this fate.

Mrs. Liu looked at the window and the door to make sure that no one was approaching at this moment, not to mention that her eldest brother and the others had already gone back.

"mother?"

"Wait a moment."

Mrs. Liu worriedly ran to the window and took a look outside. Just as she was about to turn back, her old daughter-in-law followed, "Do you know why your grandpa escaped here?"

Zhou Banxia frowned, "Did you hear Brother Liulang mention that my great-grandpa offended someone, and my grandpa and grandma had to take you here to avoid it? Is it related to the noble concubine?"

"No." Ms. Liu sighed, "The person your great-grandfather was obsessed with was the brother-in-law of the brother-in-law of the imperial concubine's brother-in-law, the brother-in-law of the brother-in-law."

The relationship is complicated.

Zhou Banxia couldn't help but laugh softly, "I was wrong, mother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make fun of my great-grandfather, I just thought——"

"How do they connect, right?" Mrs. Liu was very funny when she thought about it, "You don't know that for your great-grandfather, the Lord of the Palace is already out of reach.

I also heard that the brother-in-law of the master of the palace and the concubine were Jinshi in the same year.

Your great-great-grandfather just listened to the Lord of the Palace and went bankrupt and wanted to become an imperial merchant..."
