Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 277 Socializing

Zhou Banxia didn't bother to ask what was going on with the two candidates. When Gu Wenxuan changed into the casual clothes he wore at home, he quickly told him to eat quickly.

"Actually, Manager Zhao took me away."

After saying that, Gu Wenxuan could see that Zhou Banxia's face softened, "It was me who said that the food was prepared at home and it would go bad if you don't eat it when the weather is hot. That's why he let me and the others come back.

When I came back, I heard that you were at home. I asked Dajiang and the others to eat first, so it was late. "

"You still have to eat on time. Don't forget how much effort you put into trying to get better when you had a bad stomach. Later, you still couldn't drink cold drinks and your stomach ached when you ate."

You seem to be talking about yourself. Gu Wenxuan smiled and nodded, swallowing the food in his mouth, "I always forgot to ask you if you heard any noise before going to bed last night and couldn't sleep?"

Not talking about this problem, Zhou Banxia almost forgot that after her physical condition improved significantly last night, her physical strength, memory, and responsiveness were greatly improved.

In fact, the wind blew the leaves at night, the frogs chirped, and the cicadas chirped endlessly.

These noisy sounds can be heard every night, but last night it was especially clear and loud.

It's just that I'm used to it, and my brain will subconsciously block out those noises.

"Fortunately, I fell asleep if I didn't listen." Zhou Banxia took a small spoonful of soup and handed the soup bowl to him, "What about you, will it be noisy when you study?"

"I don't have time to pay attention, my mind is on the book. When I want to sleep, I feel relieved when I see you, and I will fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow."

You are really good at coaxing people. What does it mean to feel at ease when you see me?

Zhou Banxia glanced at Gu Wenxuan, who was taking a sip of soup from the soup bowl, with a rather amused look, "I'm going to take Xiaohe to the Lin Mansion later."

Gu Wenxuan nodded, not wanting her sister and brother to go together when he and Dajiang went to the Lin Mansion tomorrow. His wife would never be rude to others.

Since we made an appointment to go there this afternoon, I couldn’t help but go there, “There’s no need to stay too long, Mrs. Lin is old, just sit down for a while.

When you come back, you will accompany me to Yun Ke Lai and take away all the people who should leave. Then you can rest in peace. "

"Ok."

Lin Mansion is very close to Jiying Lane. Jiying Lane is in the east and west of the city, and Lin Mansion is in the west of the city.

Because he wanted to enter the Lin Mansion's inner courtyard, when Zhou Banxia took Xiaohe to visit, he asked Gu Youhua's daughter-in-law to accompany him. At the same time, he considered the candidate for the female steward around him.

Not to show off.

Many times, if a maid is sent to deliver gifts, it means that the other party is not taken seriously.

Fortunately for the wet nurse, she was born as a maid, just like a maid. It is understandable that she does not have one by her side, but a wife in charge is really indispensable.

You can't do everything yourself, no matter how big or small. When you don't want to show up, you can just ask your personal steward wife to come over.

In addition, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law can also train the maids, manage chores, and assist in the workshop.

Just to prevent one person from bullying the master in the future, it is necessary to select at least two wives in charge to maintain balance.

While thinking, the carriage quickly arrived at Lin Mansion.

The Lin family now has five generations living under one roof.

Uncle Lin is the second son, and he was awarded Jinshi by Ding You. He has been teaching at Jingshan Academy since then. He is a literary young man with great personality.

His eldest brother, the eldest son of the Lin family, is also a good scholar. The two brothers became Jinshi in the past three years and are currently serving as the magistrate of Yingtian Mansion.

The remaining third child is a concubine, and the fourth child is also a legitimate son. The aunts and grandmothers, regardless of the legitimate concubines, are naturally married long ago.

Currently, the third child, who is a concubine, is staying with his brother in Yingtian Mansion, and the fourth child, the legitimate son, is staying at home with my mother.

It is said that Mrs. Lin has passed away for more than ten years, but Mrs. Lin still insists on not separating the family for some reason.

Zhou Banxia said that it was absolutely impossible for this old lady to favor the third child who was born by a common concubine. Otherwise, Mrs. Lin would have many concubines and there would not be only one third child born by a common concubine.

There are a lot of nasty things going on in the inner house.

I heard that Mrs. Lin is not yet sixty this year, but she looks like she is sixty or seventy years old. I wonder if it is because she has not taken good care of her, or because she has too many things to worry about. The first impression she gave Zhou Banxia was really not as good as Mrs. Gao's.

Mrs. Gao is already fifty-eight this year. Regardless of temperament, if two people want to stand together, one is a mother and the other is a daughter.

Then look at the fact that the four ladies of the Lin family are also present. Mrs. Lin is not as sensible as Mrs. Gao. If her son is not at home, why should she leave her daughter-in-law at home?

Mrs. Gao couldn't let her concubine accompany her son as a housekeeper and entertain the women's family, and instead she was a dignified wife serving her mother-in-law at home.

This is a selfish and overbearing old lady, and she is also an old lady who is reluctant to let go of her power. No wonder she is still not willing to separate the family in the name of filial piety.

However, this is also an old lady who is good at talking.

Main hall.

Wealth is compelling.

The whole hall was filled with female relatives, from old to young, all of them had precious stones and red gold heads and faces, and even the female doll in her arms was dressed like a little golden man.

"Isn't that enthusiastic?"

Gu Wenxuan saw that Zhou Banxia and Xiaohe didn't come back until it was almost dark.

When he came out of the study, he saw Zhou Banxia rubbing his cheeks with his hands.

"Your face is frozen with laughter? Does the old lady have a crush on Dajiang and intends to get married?"

Zhou Banxia laughed hoarsely, "How can we marry someone from the wrong family or from the wrong household?"

In other words, today the question of whether Dajiang is engaged was brought up again.

"A legitimate daughter cannot reach a high level; a concubine is somewhat out of proportion.

I don’t know that the legitimate concubine has another concubine. No matter how favored she is, she is not as good as the arrogant legitimate daughter. She is too high-spirited and is not a good match. "

I understand, but I don’t like it.

Zhou Banxia shook his head with emotion, "This man has nothing to say. He doesn't like having a bastard, but when it's his son's turn, he would be happy for his son to have more wives."

"Have you met Mrs. Lin?"

"Even the concubine with a big butt was let out by the nanny, I must have seen it.

Fortunately, I brought a lot of greeting gifts, otherwise it would have been a joke. "

How should I put this? Gu Wenxuan thought that maybe Mrs. Lin felt that she couldn't stay in the big river with your uncle around, so she could just fish in the small river.

"As you said, Mrs. Lin is an unsociable person, but this is not the reason why she was left at home. It is impossible for my aunt to entertain anyone's concubines."

"Is Princess Bin not a concubine?"

"It doesn't make sense if you say that."

"Then what more can you expect from an ignorant old lady?"

Seeing Zhou Banxia's glare, Gu Wenxuan quickly changed the subject, "Uncle Lin is still very measured. I didn't take the second bedroom with me when I was in Fucheng before, including this time when I returned home.

With such a mother, he is already very good. "

"Haha~"

"Don't laugh like that, it makes me feel scared." Gu Wenxuan quickly picked up the person and sat on the couch, "He is him, I am me, but they are different."

"Don't study anymore?"

"I'm tired. Let's take a rest."

Look, this excuse works every time. If you stop making trouble, you have to stand up.

Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, "Daughter-in-law, did you go and place your bets this morning?"
