Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 267 A little panicked

The first meal after arriving in Zhuangzi is that we should have dinner together, and since the small stove has not been turned on in the courtyard here, it is not appropriate to ask the big kitchen to send food boxes.

Therefore, while on the way to the main courtyard for dinner, Gu Wenxuan had a good talk with Xiao He about why he did not respect his teacher's orders and asked to go to the Zhou Mansion early after dinner.

This little guy is very smart. There is no need to worry about the knowledge in books, but it is not that he dislikes his mother-in-law because of his worldliness, but that his mother-in-law herself is half-informed.

It is a word of etiquette that is considered as the current trend.

When dealing with serious people or people with a certain social status, it is rare to come to the door rashly.

Before going, you must send a greeting note and agree on a time to visit. You can only go according to the agreed time after the other party replies.

There are also certain things to pay attention to when sending greetings. Whether you send a servant or go there in person depends on how you and the other person are doing.

For example, if someone like him, who is his disciple, comes back to visit his teacher, he must deliver the stickers in person in order to be considered as a complete etiquette and not to be laughed at by outsiders.

But this also involves the fact that although the father-in-law is the second brother recognized by the husband, and his wife is still the niece, the mother-in-law is here for the first time, so she will not come directly to the door.

If the master's wife and the mother-in-law are sisters-in-law, the master's wife is the eldest. In order to be more formal, the mother-in-law did not go directly to the Zhou Mansion today, so she could post the post after editing and wait for a reply.

According to the current etiquette, this was how they interacted, but then again, his father-in-law and Da Jiang lived in the Zhou Mansion and had a special cross-yard. The Zhou Mansion made it clear that they were members of their own family.

In this case, it was reasonable and reasonable for him and his wife to send greeting cards to the door first, and it would be most appropriate for the father-in-law and mother-in-law to come to the door tomorrow after waiting for them to repair themselves overnight.

This is what it means to have many rituals and people are not to blame.

In addition to doing enough etiquette to show to the other Zhou family members in Zhoujiacun, Zhou Changping and Xiaobai who are coming with them today are also top priority.

When it comes to visiting tomorrow, it is impossible for only his father-in-law and mother-in-law to visit. Zhou Changping and Xiaobai, who are real brothers from the same house, will naturally be included in the visit.

In the greeting card, it would be written that Zhou Changping came to visit with his wife and children, and he would even mention the group of people living in the manor when he met his husband.

Here are the seniors from the village school, as well as family members who accompanied them to participate in the college examination. For example, Gu Wenyu was personally accompanied by his uncle this time.

First, the college examination is very important. If you win, you will become a scholar, and you will come with the exam. Second, and most importantly, you will come to express your gratitude in person for the Jingshan Academy recommendation letter.

If it weren't for Zhou Xiucai and his great grandfather to go out, these two letters of recommendation from Jingshan Academy alone would have made them come to express their gratitude in person.

At this point, Gu Wenxuan had to educate his brother-in-law about the status of Jingshan Academy in the scholarly circle and the value of the recommendation books.

While Gu Wenxuan was quietly instructing his brother-in-law, Mrs. Li, who had no longer thought about getting along with Mrs. Zhou since entering the manor, was still a little panicked.

"Dad, how much money do you think Sanya has? Did she make a lot of money from her soap business? Otherwise, where would she have the money to buy this place?
Take a look, not counting the fields outside, this big yard alone can't even be found in our village, and the Zhao family's yard in the county can't even compare. "

Hearing what Li said, Zhou Shun was not surprised.

This village courtyard is also built in the form of a quadrangle, but it is different from the ordinary quadrangle. It is in the shape of "Hui", and the main hall is surrounded by multiple quadrangles.

There are many stables, kitchens, main halls, and inner courtyards. It is also a village for officials, and it also has a small garden, rockery, and other rocks.

When his Sanya bought this village before, he had been invited to take a look. He was also shocked by his Sanya's generosity.

Thinking again that his daughter-in-law didn't know that her Sanya had bought a house and a village in Zhending Mansion and made him happy, Mrs. Li was so angry that she slapped him on the arm. "You tell me."

Anyway, we were just wandering around this garden as a couple. Zhou Shun thought about it, "If you make a profit, you will definitely make a profit. If you don't make a profit, why are we buying so many people?"

But she doesn't have much cash on hand. This child bought this place to be close to her uncle. With her uncle supporting her, she shouldn't say this out loud. "

"It's not like I have no brains." Mrs. Li subconsciously replied, glancing around, "Then Yizi, didn't our Sanya earn at least five thousand taels of silver?"

"What are you doing sneaking around? Just stand up straight." Zhou Shun glared at his wife, "Just know what's going on.

No matter who asks, it is the dowry given to Sanya by Sanya's uncle. If you dare to say that Sanya bought it by herself, I will sew your mouth shut. "

Who are you trying to scare? Mrs. Li covered her mouth and muttered unwillingly, "You really think I can't keep my mouth shut. This time, whoever asked me if the land outside the village was bought by Sanya, I shook my head and smiled. Even though he died, I still didn’t say anything.”

Zhou Shushun rolled his eyes at his wife speechlessly, and it was funny to think about it, "There are many things that outsiders can guess, but we parents can't tell the truth.

If you ask the in-laws, they will all say that they make a bit of money, but my uncle also spends a lot of money to study and can't save much money.

Our third uncle has been together for a long time, and he is not an incompetent child.

My parents-in-law are still complaining about my uncle’s study. Do you know what this means? "

"I'm afraid people will come to borrow money."

Zhou Shun did not deny that this was the reason. It is more likely that his Sanya was so good at making money that the two in-laws used their old son's education as an excuse.

Also, outsiders don't know, how could he, the father, not know that his Sanya doesn't like to take advantage of others, but it would be difficult for anyone to take advantage of her for no reason.

The so-called partnership actually meant that Yizi sent 20% of his shares to the Gaofu family. There was no third family at all. The in-laws were all helping the children to play tricks on them.

However, these words really cannot be told honestly to the mother-in-law.

Money is something that can make people obsessed with things if they are too much and over time. He cannot guarantee that his mother will not lose her conscience, not for her mother's family but for her son's sake.

Sanya, Sanya is worthy enough...

"father!"

Zhou Banxia didn't expect to meet her father and mother on the way to the main courtyard, admiring the scenery at the garden pavilion, "Mom, dad, aren't you tired?"

When asked this time, Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, let go of Xiaohe's little hand, and bowed in salute.

"Why are you tired? We don't have to walk." Zhou Shun waved to his uncle, "There is no need to be polite to outsiders from now on. Are you hungry? Let's go, dinner is ready."

"Fortunately, I ate some cakes on the way. Sanya was worried that you and my mother-in-law would be involved in a long trip. After all, it's not like going from the village to the city. The journey is short..."

Zhou Banxia was a step behind, leading Zhou Shun and the four of them in front, holding Li's arm, "Your uncle is worried that you are tired, please be filial, right?"

"More filial than you." Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter. She made a lot of money without telling her mother, just telling your father, "Your grandpa asked me to help your cousin find a job, but I turned him down."
