Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

There is a type of person who, once they are serious about doing something, will be so dedicated that they will forget to eat and sleep. Once they start writing, they cannot stop.

Zhou Banxia returned to the west wing and after thinking for a while, he decided to stay in the study.

Yes, she was saving money for candles, and it was definitely not to accompany the nerd.

Letting Mai Huang go to rest early, Zhou Banxia tiptoed into the west wing, glanced at Gu Wenxuan who was buried in his work, and turned to the side of the kang table.

Then she quietly took off her embroidered shoes, got on the kang, and began to look at a roll of design drawings for the layout of the new village that Gu Wenxuan had specially weighed down with a paperweight.

Gu Wenxuan very carefully placed the first drawing after adding a few modifications on the first sheet, and Zhou Banxia could see it without interrupting him from reviewing.

Starting from the first one, she flipped through several drawings. She basically understood Gu Wenxuan's ideas after he modified the drawings, and she also picked up the brush.

When Mai Huang was carrying the fruit plate from the kitchen back to the west wing, she found that her young lady was working as hard as her brother-in-law.

Her young lady was writing or drawing, and didn't even notice she came into the room. She put the fruit plate aside, and her young lady looked up, smiled, and went back to her work.

Seeing that Zhou Banxia was not doing any physical work, Mai Huang kept Zhou Molan's instructions in mind and asked her young lady to start writing. He estimated the time and then reminded her young lady to rest.

Zhou Banxia had no idea that Mai Huang was going to pretend to obey her but actually disobey her tonight. Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't be surprised.

Not to mention that the little girl might be grateful that her aunt Lan favored her and allowed her family to have no worries about food and clothing, so her aunt Lan treated her like a treasure, fearing that she would be wronged in her husband's family.

If someone is not loyal to her to a certain degree, there is no way her Aunt Lan would send anyone to be by her side during her pregnancy. Nothing is more important than her mood.

Prenatal education is not something that only came into being in later generations. The research on whether aristocratic families feel good about their pregnant daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law and whether it will affect the fetus is not much behind that of later generations.

The ancients believed that during pregnancy, the mother and child are one, and the mother's mental and physical conditions will directly affect the health of the fetus.

Therefore, in order to ensure the mother's emotional stability, the pregnant woman must have no distracting thoughts and a calm mind, and also achieve "moderate hunger and fullness."

Similar to later generations, the ancients also believed that overeating would increase the burden on the stomach and put pressure on the growth of the fetus, while being too hungry would cause fetal malnutrition.

In addition, she does not eat strange flavors, that is, she does not eat overly irritating foods such as spicy, sour, bitter, and spicy foods. Now she cannot eat chili peppers.

For example, "Qian Jin Fang·Nourishing the Fetus" specifically mentions "living in a simple and quiet place". Since ancient times, pregnant women from noble families have had musicians play music for them.

These should be the origins of the concept of prenatal music education in later generations. Her aunt Lan is now eager to train a maid who is good at playing the piano for her.

If she hadn't insisted on not having a singing and dancing little elf around her, and promised that she would start picking up music after the fetus was three months old, haha.

She was a peasant girl, and a peasant girl who had worked as a maid. If she had not known her own limitations, she would have been led astray by Aunt Lan and thought of herself as a girl from a wealthy family.

People are more valuable in having self-knowledge.

Just like what Mrs. Qian said, girls are not to be feared for being dumb or stupid, but they are to be feared for being too smart, having too big a heart, stretching their hands too far, and losing their original intentions.

It’s not that her uncle and aunt said that she was the eldest daughter of the Zhou family and a noble lady. In essence, she was Zhou Banxia who came from a mountain village.

Zhou Banxia rolled up two of the paper mill's plans, tied them up with red satin and put them aside, waiting to send them to Gu Dachang tomorrow.

Then, she spread out the planning map of Gujiazhuang Village. Too lazy to use an abacus, Zhou Banxia began to calculate the approximate cost of adopting Gu Wenxuan's suggestion. If it was not easy to use blue brick and tile houses to build tofu shops and oil presses at the entrance of the village, it would be better to use adobe houses.

After calculating a rough cost, we also recalculated the approximate expenses required for the breeding farm located between Hexi Village in Qinghe Village and Wangbei Village.

She had basically achieved what Gu Wenxuan had envisioned, and if she followed what her father had suggested, she had a clear idea of ​​the pros and cons of both.

Afterwards, using the ink that had not yet dried in the inkstone, Zhou Banxia selected a brush and began to write the plan in small, hairpin-shaped characters.

For a moment, the study became even quieter, except for the occasional sound of the couple flipping papers and their breathing.

Opposite the east wing.

Seeing that her two older grandsons had fallen asleep, Aunt Ma did not neglect her daughter at all and served her daughter the midnight snack brought in by the maid, which was also a confinement meal.

Afterwards, perhaps because she was worried that her daughter Hu Niu would not enjoy the food, the maid brought her a midnight snack and placed it on the table in the small hall.

I have to say that the food at the Gu family is more attentive than hers. No matter whether it is food for pregnant women, food for postpartum women, or food for guests, there is really no repetition.

But before going to bed, Aunt Ma wanted to check on her mother-in-law Liu, who had gone and never returned, to see if she had the heart to leave everything to the servants and go back to her room to sleep peacefully.

After the girl had finished her midnight snack, even the son-in-law went to bed with her in the north room opposite. As the girl was in confinement and it was not convenient to open the window, Aunt Ma left the south room and went to the small hall.

Glancing upstairs.

There was still a candlelight in the upper room.

It doesn't look like the couple will go to bed right after taking a shower, and it doesn't look like the mother-in-law will not come to take a look at her daughter-in-law and grandson or say hello to her before going to bed.

Then there is the west wing opposite.

The south room was dark, but the light was on in the north room. It seemed that the person sitting behind the window was Liu Lang, who was still studying hard. What about Liu Lang's wife?

"She must still be in the north room with Liu Lang." Seeing Ma Shan come back to her room to ask for help, Ma Shan said with certainty, "If the light is on in the south room, San Ya might have gone back to her room to rest.

People said that it was Sanya's credit that Liulang won the top three honors. In fact, they were not wrong at all. Sanya had been waiting for Liulang and Dajiang to review their lessons.

My mother-in-law repeatedly asked her to go to bed early, and she said yes, but every time she went back home, she would wait alone in the south room. "

In the main room, Liu was busy, not knowing whether her mother-in-law would check on her eldest daughter-in-law and grandson before going to bed.

Since it concerns the annual fur trade, she and her husband also want to save some money for their children. They can't let their son and his wife suffer losses in everything.

San Ya is filial and generous, but that's okay in the short term. As time goes by, Erlang and Huniu will take it for granted.

This is not impossible. She didn't suddenly realize that she still has her own family and can't let the father of her child support the whole family without any bottom line.

So, before Gu Erzhu left for a long trip, Liu asked her daughter to do the calculations, and she took a pen to write down the amount her daughter reported. (End of this chapter)
