Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 430 You got it wrong
Gu Wenxuan found that just after he left for a cup of tea, his wife became disobedient again. She did not stay in the west wing and went to the kitchen.

If you want to eat something, just ask the cook to cook it.

Even if there are some ingredients you want to try, and the cook doesn't know what dish to make or what soup to stew, just ask the other person to come to the small hall and listen to your explanation.

At this moment, the kitchen was filled with smoke and all kinds of odors as they prepared dinner, but there was no need to worry about smelling any strange odor and suddenly getting morning sickness.

Zhou Banxia, ​​who was returning to the west wing with Gu Wenxuan, knew what he wanted to say as soon as she saw his disapproving expression. Before he could open his mouth, she spoke first.

"What did my parents say? You told them that your uncle and aunt gave the old man and old lady a gift as a return gift. Did they say how to deal with it?"

Could it be said that he was interrupted by his parents and forgot to mention this matter? Gu Wenxuan's mind raced, "The things are on the table. I think I'd better not ask."

Yes, that's what happened! "Dad and Mom were sitting at the table at the time, maybe they were discussing this matter, so I brought up the real matter."

The more the conversation went on, the more Gu Wenxuan quickly changed the topic to "business" and turned to what his parents said. Could his father-in-law be an ordinary father-in-law?

No matter how much you add, it’s worth it!
Then, he cleverly came out of the main room and did not look for his wife first. Instead, he directly told Zhiming to find Gu Dahua and quickly deliver the things to his father-in-law!

In this case, it is his idea to add more or less. As parents, how can they not be happy to see their daughter-in-law listen to their son? What do you think, your man is smart, right?

Zhou Banxia quickly raised her thumb, thinking that she didn't need to ask what she should ask. She was still curious whether her parents-in-law really ignored the old man.

"Watch the road." Gu Wenxuan quickly grabbed her hand, "Tell me, you're about to bump into the door when I'm next to you, how can you be at ease if I'm not at home?"

Door?

Zhou Banxia looked at the door which was at least five steps away and still open with only a curtain hanging on the threshold, and found himself speechless.

"If I hadn't warned you, you would have bumped into him." Gu Youli could see his wife's expression, "Have you read the letter?"

You changed the subject quickly! Zhou Banxia laughed and shook her head: "Not yet, I wanted to wait for you to watch it together, and when I saw you didn't come back, I turned to the kitchen."

Gu Wenxuan put his hands on Zhou Banxia's shoulders to signal her to move forward, and subconsciously took over the conversation and said, "It's my fault."

"What's wrong?" Zhou Banxia couldn't help but chuckle. "Okay, no more nonsense. Have you noticed that, if you calculate the time, Auntie should be in the capital today, right?"

Gu Wenxuan was stunned. He had just hurriedly read the letter dictated by Gu Dali, but did Gu Dali say that the master's wife went to the capital with him?
"The Master's Wife you mentioned should be in the capital?"

"correct."

"Wait, where's the letter? Let me take a closer look."

“Look, isn’t that it?” Zhou Banxia pointed to the crescent-shaped table against the wall in front of the couch. “I even put the subsequent lists on it.”

Gu Wenxuan took two quick steps, reached out to find the letter, unfolded the folded paper, turned to the sixth page, glanced at the contents, and immediately turned to the seventh page.

Look!
It was on this piece of paper. Gu Dali mentioned that his master asked him to select two people from the guard team to escort the festival gifts to various houses in the prefecture, and he led the team and the housekeepers to the capital.

How could the Master's wife be in the capital today?

"You are mistaken. Do you think they are escorting the Master's wife to the capital? This lady-in-law is not that lady-in-law. It is Mrs. Kong who is in Zhoujia Village.

I knew it was impossible. Even if she had listened to our coaxing and persuaded his wife not to come to our house first, how could she have returned to Beijing at this time?

As a lady in the inner house, it is not easy for her to travel back and forth quickly. She must accompany her husband to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and worship the ancestors before she can set off to return to Beijing."

Zhou Banxia waited for him to finish, frowning in confusion, "Are you talking about my eldest sister-in-law's mother, Madam Kong? Her daughter is pregnant, why would she not go to Zhoujia Village?

How did you know that the in-law that Dali was referring to was not his aunt, but Mrs. Kong? If we really want to talk about in-laws, then my second brother's future mother-in-law can be considered a in-law.

Could it be that since I’m pregnant, Uncle Changqing or Aunt Lan heard some news from my uncle and aunt and told you something first, fearing to alarm me—”

"Stop, stop, stop." Gu Wenxuan was frightened, "You always think of the worst when considering things. You need to be optimistic. You need to maintain an optimistic attitude, my wife.

Think about it, it's such a simple thing, your second brother has not married yet when he reaches the marriageable age? But there is a reason, why did his mother-in-law go to Zhoujia Village?

Are you not letting your second brother fulfill his filial duty, or are you afraid that your husband will regret the engagement, so you are urging your wife to bring her daughter home as soon as possible? You are kidding. If you really can't wait, you also asked a matchmaker to come and urge the marriage, right?
Let's go back to the topic. The third son has not yet been engaged. Think about it, the master has only three sons, so who else can be his wife? There is only Mrs. Kong left."

Zhou Banxia nodded heavily to give him face, "That makes sense. Then how do you determine that this in-law's wife is not that in-law's wife?"

"Pay attention, look here." Gu Wenxuan pointed at a line of words, "Da Li said that the master was first seen in the study that day, and then the master's wife who was entertaining guests in the inner courtyard came over."

"Hosting guests in the inner courtyard does not prove that Auntie is entertaining Madam Kong."

"Time. It was almost afternoon when Dali arrived. After taking a shower, it was almost time for lunch when he arrived at the master's place. Dali also saw the master in the study and he replied in detail.

Let's assume that it was almost dinner time, and the women from the village would not be so tactless as to have a free dinner before leaving. The aunt who allowed you to entertain guests in the inner courtyard only came to the study later. If I am not mistaken, this female guest should have stayed at Zhou's house that night.

If we calculate the approximate time required to travel from Zhoujia Village to the capital and back, it would be impossible for your aunt to return on August 15th if she sets out for the capital.

After connecting the dots, the most likely lady-in-law who was accompanying him was Mrs. Kong, followed by your aunt, sister-in-law, or one of your sisters.

It's just that it's impossible for Dali to call her his wife, not his cousin, because your aunt, sister-in-law and sister are not settled in the capital.

How can I use "escort my in-laws' wife back to Beijing"? Even if there is, it means going to Beijing, not returning to Beijing. Dali would not be unaware of this most basic concept. "

Zhou Banxia didn't know what to say for a moment after hearing this. Who reads a letter like this, looking for clues like solving a case...

"Of course, what I said are all my personal inferences. The correct answer--" Gu Wenxuan smiled and picked up the unopened handwritten letter from Zhou Huan and his wife on the table, "You can open it and look for it. Maybe you don't need to infer it. Isn't it fun? Do you really want to grab the beer bottle, haha..."
