Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 264 Going to Dingzhou Mansion
Looking at his most proud student, Zhou Xiucai still remembered his eldest grandson's words in his mind. He had to admit that those who are close to Zhu are incompetent, and Brother Li also became more assertive.

Although Rokuro was a kid who was so independent-minded that he had to drop out of school halfway, what is most satisfying is his drive that will not give up until he achieves his goals.

"Don't be greedy for the reputation of the chief executive. You should put stability first. Become a student first, and then there will be the provincial examination. Getting the chief executive in the provincial examination is better than three yuan."

This was because he was worried that his writing style would favor the examiner's preferences and act too radically when writing thesis topics for the college examination. Gu Wenxuan understood Zhou Xiucai's intentions.

There are many people, so it's hard to talk too much, just like Zhou Xiucai whispered to him at this moment.

Gu Wenxuan immediately raised his arms to intervene, and with impeccable movements, he bowed respectfully towards Zhou Xiucai and bowed as a disciple.

Seeing him salute, all the students present, including Zhou Changping, followed him one by one to say goodbye. Zhou Xiucai smiled and waved his sleeves and left.

Watching him leave, everyone got into the carriage and it was time to set off.

Out of the village entrance.

Walked a while.

It was not even mid-morning in the early morning, and there were already a large area of ​​depressions and wasteland on both sides of the official road. At this time, many people were already busy working.

Thanks to the fact that several households in Qinghe Village finally participated in raising funds to purchase this piece of wasteland, the village in front also bought the wasteland near the village.

Now this area has become a market that is not yet a market. There are many people here who are busy building houses on the ground, and there are people setting up street stalls over there.

But it was still early, and after an hour, villagers from surrounding villages would also come to set up stalls carrying eggs, duck eggs, game and fish.

In addition, in the past two days, as Aunt Gu moved the butcher shop here, several shops in the town also sent people to set up stalls here.

It is conceivable that when the infrastructure here is completed one day when we come back, this area will only be more lively and prosperous.

Mrs. Li didn't like riding in a carriage with her Sanya anymore. She only answered questions and looked outside absent-mindedly, not knowing what to think about.

The carriage went all the way north to the south of the county seat.

The convoy formed by the Shunyi Escort Agency is already waiting.

While the two parties were getting ready to go, Li quickly went to sit in a carriage with Xiao Bai.

Making Gu Wenxuan secretly happy doesn't count as occupying his wife.

Even food and drink were stuffed into the carriage where Li and Xiaobai were sitting.

Ok?
Why is this little guy not playing with Brother Li? Here he comes in this carriage. What a terrible brother-in-law. "Come here, brother-in-law, I will test you."

The third brother-in-law also imitated the third sister badly and always liked to test him.

Xiao He wrinkled his face and said, "Okay, you can't test me this time and pass what's in the book."

Zhou Banxia glanced at Gu Wenxuan in a funny way, "Just take the nine-chapter arithmetic test. This is also very important. There will be nine chapters of arithmetic in Chunwei, do you know?"

Third sister, you are so bad. Xiaohe stared at Zhou Banxia with resentment, "Why don't you let your brother-in-law take the law test on me? I've already memorized the laws and regulations of Daliang."

Zhou Banxia couldn't help but laugh out loud. What a stupid brother. I don't want to make things easier for you, but I have to let your third brother-in-law torment you.

Gu Wenxuan was also very amused. The little guy's bun was well combed and it was difficult to rub his head, so he reached out and patted Xiaohe's forehead.

"I have forgotten what it means to not reveal one's cards. Your sister opened her mouth just after she finished speaking. Why don't you give me a legal test?"

"Isn't it in front of you and the third sister? If it were someone else, I would never have replied so stupidly." Xiaohe smiled flatteringly at Gu Wenxuan, "Brother-in-law, teach me how to play chess."

Gu Wenxuan glanced at the fixed kang table in the carriage, "Okay, this section of the road is easy to walk, but it will be difficult to play chess at noon. Black or white?" "It must be white."

Yes, I almost forgot that the modern rules of Go are that black moves first, and now white moves first. Gu Wenxuan nodded, "Do you want me to give you a few pieces?"

"No need!" Xiaohe waved his hand in an imposing manner, "I'm with Third Sister, you can let Third Sister have five sons. Third Sister, hurry up, you go first."

"……You are great."

Zhou Banxia laughed.

"Do you miss your big brother?"

"I don't want to." Xiaohe replied without hesitation, without moving his hands, "What are you thinking about when you see her? I'm not a child."

"Indeed, you are eight years old and an adult.

My dear, my brother-in-law has a question for you. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? "

“First there are chickens, then eggs. Not every egg can hatch a chick.

Hee hee, it’s not a problem for me, Third Sister asked me a long time ago..."

Not to mention, with such a fun brother-in-law by my side, traveling from Qingyang County to Zhoujia Village in Dingzhou Prefecture was not boring, it was very interesting.

Because of the correspondence with this place in advance, Gu Wenxuan already knew in the letter that the students from Jingshan Academy who were going to Zhending Mansion to take the college examination had already moved into Zhou Mansion in Zhoujia Village in the past two days.

He then heard that Zhou Changping and others were more inclined to stay in his home in Zhuangzi in Dingzhou Prefecture. Considering that Zhuangzi was not far from Zhoujia Village, he decided that the group would stay in Zhuangzi first when they arrived in Zhending Prefecture.

Compared with the small village of two or three hundred acres in Fucheng, the village in Dingzhou Prefecture is much larger, and the area of ​​the manor is twice as large.

When Zhou Banxia chose Zhuangzi, he considered that it could serve as a material transfer station.

Furthermore, as the number of workers in Qinghe Village’s workshops increases, it will be impossible to go out without escorts and servants.

It happened that Dazhuangzi was being transferred at that time, and her uncle Zhou Huan was there. She didn't worry about being blackmailed, so she simply bought a bigger one.

Now it seems that the idea at that time was correct.

Saying goodbye to the other caravans from the Shunyi Escort Bureau, the group of people, including horse-drawn carriages and mule-drawn carriages, marched into a village that covered an area no less than that of Gujiazhuang.

"Sister, this piece of land belongs to you?"

"No, have you seen it over there?" Zhou Banxia pointed out the car window while still some way away from the manor, "It belongs to Zhoujiacun's territory."

Xiao He took a closer look and said, "So it's very close to our uncle's house?"

"It's about four or five miles. It's four or five miles from the manor to my uncle's house. It's about three miles if I take a shortcut on a rainy day. It's not that far."

Four or five miles?

Xiaohe silently calculated the half way from his home to the town. It was almost the distance from his home to his eldest brother-in-law's village and a little further away. It wasn't too far.

The carriage runs very fast, but do you have to walk?
He looked down at his calves and said, "Oh, it's still not close."

Gu Wenxuan, who was paying attention to him from the side, immediately burst into laughter and narrowly raised one of his legs to touch Xiaohe's short leg.

Xiaohe was angry: "I'm only eight years old, I'm still growing taller, and you can still grow taller!

Third sister, my third brother-in-law is bullying me again. Do you care? "
