Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

When Gu Erzhu and his son Gu Erlang walked into the main courtyard one after another, there was laughter in the main hall. His old son/good brother was teaching the child to do bad things.

As expected, Gu Wenxuan was beaten by the third person again. He was so scared that he quickly sent someone to invite Zhou Yujiang to dinner, otherwise someone else would want to beat him up.

Dajiang arrived very quickly, and while the family was chatting and laughing, poor Dajiang was also affected by Lianchi's teasing, and the dinner was quite lively.

After meal.

It was already time to light the lamps, and since Gu Erzhu knew that his eldest son and Dajiang had to review their lessons, he did not invite them to the after-dinner discussion.

There were scholars, twins, and babies in swaddling clothes, all of whom were driven back to the backyard by him and Liu before it got colder late at night.

Gu Wenxuan did not refuse his parents' kindness. He took his wife's cloak and brought his wife's brother-in-law back to the courtyard where he and his wife lived.

Habit is second nature.

Logically speaking, for reviewing, it would be quieter in the courtyard where Zhou Yujiang lives, and it wouldn't disturb Zhou Banxia's rest. But the interesting thing is that it seems that everyone has forgotten one thing.

As usual, the three of them entered the hall, took off their cloaks, or their thick outer clothes, and then walked into the study room on the side in tacit understanding.

Inside the study, Mai Huang had already brought people to prepare tea, and waited for the brother-in-law and uncle to sit down and drink tea. Zhou Banxia looked around and saw that nothing was missing, so he left the study and went to the inner room.

Her leaving the study was like a secret signal. Her husband and uncle stopped sitting and drinking tea. One of them stood up with the teacup, and the other went to the desk.

One of the two people occupied the writing desk, and the other occupied the painting desk. The one who put the teacup called out "brother-in-law", and when he asked him to grind the ink first, he started to get busy.

After putting the books and notes on the table, some people were grinding ink, while others took paper from the paper box, went to the drawing table, put down the cut rice paper, and picked up the stack of paper on the table.

At this moment when Gu Wenxuan and his uncle Zhou Yujiang began to officially start reviewing, in the inner room, Zhou Banxia also started flipping through a book after drinking some clean water.

Of course, the books she was reading were not the Four Books and Five Classics, but the books she copied out and placed in the bookcase in the inner room, which Gu Wenxuan jokingly called "secret books".

Considering that tomorrow is the first day of November, Zhou Banxia completely finished the book copying that had been suspended for nearly two days, and would resume it only after moving into the manor.

At this time, she was doing the final check, and after making sure everything was correct, she wrapped it in oil paper. Two days later, after leaving the county, she asked Mai Huang and his men to put it in a wooden box and take it back.

Fortunately, I haven't been living here for a long time. Besides, I'm pregnant, so I'm not as energetic as usual. Therefore, I haven't copied many books recently.

It didn't take her much time to check and pack up the dozen books of varying thickness.

I took the opportunity to secretly take out the books that I had copied down and put away in the study in the villa, and spent a lot of time sorting them out.

After she went to the bathroom to wash her hands and use the toilet, she slipped into the master bathroom to take care of her defecation and urination, and took a shower at the same time. Before she knew it, it was time for a midnight snack again.

Compared to the time when Gu Wenxuan and Dajiang had supper, Zhou Banxia had to eat much earlier because she was pregnant. It was the hour of Xu, which meant she had to have a meal at eight o'clock in the evening.

If you get up early every day, you can have breakfast at 6 o'clock, snack at 9 o'clock, and lunch at noon.

In the afternoon, have a snack at 3 o'clock, have dinner at 5 o'clock, and have a midnight snack at 10 o'clock, which is exactly six meals a day.

The policy of eating more meals and less food was implemented thoroughly. Objections were futile. Zhou Banxia resolutely lay down and faced the "forced eating" of the human alarm clock Mai Huang. This girl now had the support of everyone and was very bold. If she dared not to eat on time, she would either go and report to the second young master or go to the wife to tell on him.

"…Not much. Aunt Lan went over the menu for the next three days with Aunt Fang before she went back today. Everything she ate won't make her gain weight."

You little girl liar, you learned bad things from Aunt Lan! Zhou Banxia glanced at Mai Huang, and couldn't help but laugh and shook his head as he took the fish maw porridge from her hands.

It’s not fishy at all.

Aunt Fang is very talented in cooking. It is all thanks to Aunt Fang that she doesn't feel nauseous when she smells the fishy smell. The fish balls made by others make her want to vomit.

It was a small bowl of fish maw porridge, not a big portion, but this crystal steamed dumpling, "Yes, did you make some more for the master, mistress, and eldest master?"

"Yes." Mai Huang replied hurriedly, "Mai Xiang had people deliver it to each courtyard a long time ago, and it was Mai Xiang who personally delivered it to the master and mistress.

Mai Xiang saw me serving you here at first, and then she went back to the kitchen to watch the second young master and Jiang young master's midnight snack. Do you want me to let Mai Xiang come in and answer your question?"

"No need, just send it over."

Zhou Banxia believed that she was destined to be poor, and she was not used to listening to the constant calls of a servant, so she would never want to have a little girl join in the fun.

Hurry up, she said, and then she gave the order that after Gu Wenxuan and Dajiang had their midnight snack, the four maids would not have to take turns to keep watch, and they could just go to sleep.

After all, judging from the way Xuanzi and Dajiang are studying tonight, they will not stop until late at night, and there is a high probability that Dajiang will go straight to the study tonight.

There is also a kang in the study here, which is bigger than the kang in the study in the west wing of the village house. It has all the same bedding, but it is inconvenient to take a bath.

However, she had observed before that when Dajiang returned to the cross-courtyard, he must have taken a bath, but unfortunately he was disobedient and did not take a proper medicinal bath.

The child has grown up and has his own ideas. It is not good to keep a close eye on him or privately instruct his servants. He can only pretend not to know.

Otherwise, if she controls everything, not to mention that she is the elder sister, she is the mother. The child will get tired of her sooner or later. We can only wait and see if there is a chance to let the child take a good bath tomorrow.

Otherwise, with this frail body, which has been hard to maintain the same physique as children of the same age, if he continues to stay up late and not get enough rest, it will not be worth it.

After having a midnight snack, when Zhou Banxia was digesting the food before going to bed, she could hear Gu Wenxuan's lecture without having to tiptoe to the study door.

It goes without saying that the two scholars inside were still listening to a lecture, one giving a lecture and the other listening to a lecture. By the time the lecture and the listening session were over, it was almost time for supper.

After eating, it was around ten o'clock. At that time, it was impossible for either Gu Wenxuan or Dajiang to go to bed and rest immediately.

Plus, tomorrow is a day off and I don't have to rush to the county school, so I will continue studying until three o'clock in the morning. Oh, it's getting late now, I should go to bed quickly.

Zhou Banxia was too lazy to interrupt them as they were talking, so he picked up a pen and wrote big "sleep" characters on a piece of rice paper and pasted it in the most conspicuous place.
