Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 489 The Right Time

If it weren't for Gu Dahua's reminder, Gu Wenxuan almost forgot that the things he had ordered last night still needed Zhiming and Jiaxing to arrange quickly.

At this time, Zhiming should have arranged all matters after reuniting with Changqing and his wife in the workshop, and was about to return to the city after lunch.

Since he knew Zhou Banxia's whereabouts, Gu Wenxuan no longer went to the courtyard where his elder brother and sister-in-law lived to find a wife. It just so happened that he had some things to arrange for Gu Dahua.

Taking advantage of today's holiday, Gu Wenxuan first mentioned how Gu Dahua should entertain the head of the village and the manager from other places when they arrived.

Of course, this reception also involves some things that require Gu Dahua's attention and testing, so it is impossible for him to explain it to Gu Dahua in detail.

What he is best at is to motivate others and he is very good at controlling his subordinates.

Not to mention that the upcoming arrival of the village head and the steward under the name of Zhou Banxia's dowry made Gu Dahua doubly alert and vigilant, he even dared not neglect the matter of defending the Tian family.

Look, this steward who is over thirty years old and is highly valued by Zhou Banxia, ​​was whispering to Gu Wenxuan behind her back about what the people in the Gu family's eldest house had been doing in the past two days.

He was also quite skillful in reporting what the small group of old people who were still living in Qinghe Village, including Mr. Gu, had done in the past two days.

Afterwards, Gu Dahua mentioned the other people and what those who were still in the county were busy with. Finally, he mentioned Gu Yangwen.

"…The eldest master first returned to the village after dark last night. This morning, when the city gate opened, he entered the city with Mr. Tian and went directly to the shop.

The shop was still closed. They entered the shop through the back door, but they were still caught by the family on the spot, but no fight broke out.

The eldest master was very perceptive and said on the spot that he had invited his father-in-law to come just to settle the matter this morning, and he would not care if anyone dared to make trouble again. "

Gu Wenxuan nodded to show that he understood, and then reminded Gu Dahua not to let his wife know about these things for the time being, as nothing was more important than his wife's pregnancy.

If those people in the old courtyard would listen to his advice and not disturb his family's peace, they could settle the matter privately if they wanted. Otherwise, don't blame him for reporting it to the county government.

No one can disturb his wife from concentrating on pregnancy and giving birth to the baby smoothly, not even her own parents, let alone the eldest son of the family.

"...When the time is right, we can keep Gu Dalang and his wife busy for the next two days so that they don't have time to pay attention to the Tian family affairs and can distract their attention."

Gu Dahua was immediately happy, realizing that Gu Wenxuan wanted him to just go ahead and do his job. If he still wanted to get involved after a certain point, he didn't need to worry about the relationship between cousins.

He didn't even ask if he should just take this opportunity to not have to work as an accountant for the old man, and drive the annoying young couple back to the village.

After all, his master and his wife are not the cruel type who would kill anyone. If they were not really annoyed, no one would bother to deal with those petty calculations that cannot be made public.

After respectfully seeing Gu Wenxuan off back to the inner courtyard, Gu Dahua hesitated for a moment, but decided to send someone to call his wife out so that he could report to Zhou Banxia.

Gu Wenxuan, Chang Qing and Zhou Molan had made an agreement beforehand, and Zhou Banxia had also instructed them in advance that everything should be arranged by Gu Wenxuan, so he finally kept it a secret.

At this time, he was still thinking that at worst, after his master gave birth to the little master smoothly, he would take the blame and punish himself with fifty lashes.

Zhou Banxia didn't know that not only the Zhiming brothers were involved, but also Gu Dahua's matter. She was also very surprised that no one came to her house. That being said, even though she told Ma Shan that the Tian family aunt of Gu Lao Madam would never ask her, a granddaughter-in-law, to borrow money for her nephew?
However, don’t say that people’s hearts are hidden. Even as for Old Lady Gu, who knows if she would be easy to talk to and suddenly come to her.

The county town is some distance away from Qinghe Village, but the incident between Tian Ergou and the widow happened just in the south of the city. It would be strange to come to the county town.

It is said that not only was the widow beaten and locked up in the woodshed of her uncle's house, but even Tian Ergouzi had his legs broken and is still in a small clinic in the south of the city.

It is said that some wicked person came up with a bad idea and wanted her family to send the person to the town clinic and hand him over to her uncle.

It is said that the widow would either be thrown into a pig cage or sold far away by her husband's brother-in-law, but for some reason, Gu Yangwen has not been implicated yet.

However, after one or two days, and then the third and fourth days, there was still no mention from the concierge that someone from the Gu family had come to visit.

Even Ma Shan had never heard about the follow-up progress from her mother-in-law. Zhou Banxia gradually forgot to pay attention to this matter and started to get busy.

First, the village heads and managers from all over the country gathered in Zhoujia Village, bringing account books and New Year gifts from the village. Then the New Year gifts for each prefecture had to be prepared in advance.

She now has a lot of people under her, so she can be lazy and not do anything, but she still has to do some talking and managing the work.

For example, as the head of the village, she, as the master, needs to meet with each of them in person and use both kindness and severity, just as her uncle repeatedly reminded her in his letters.

Her uncle even asked her to remove the slavery of Aunt Lan and her eldest son's family in the second half of next year and to prepare the way for their grandson to attend Zhou's private school. How could she let her uncle down?

The sixth day of November.

According to her father-in-law's observation of the sky during the day and the weather at night, he concluded that there would be rain and snow in the next two days. Based on the actual situation, the family set out to return to the village.

Considering that it would be impossible for me to stay in the county town for some time before giving birth, the luggage I brought this time was large and small, so naturally there was a lot.

In fact, it was not just her luggage. Clothes for going out in winter are not as thin as those in summer. Even Xiao Baoya’s personal luggage was quite considerable.

So, before it snowed, a huge convoy with a horse-drawn carriage in front and a mule-drawn cart behind set out from the county town and arrived at Qinghe Village at noon.

When passing by the market at the intersection of Guan Road, she could hear the Gu family returning to the village. Zhou Banxia knew that her family would once again be at the top of Fangyuan Village's hot search list.

Nowadays, there is a saying about the Zhao family in the west of the town and the Gu family in the east of the town. It seems that the Gu family in the east of the town can be ranked first on the rich list together with the Zhao family in the west of the town.

Damn it, I don't know who gave her the number. It's obvious that not only is Gu Xiao Sanyuan far inferior to the former Zhao Xiao Sanyuan, but in terms of family background, she even wants to shrink her neck.

Yes, she and her husband opened a workshop in the village and bought land nearby, but compared with the Zhao family in Zhaojia Village, they were far inferior.

The Zhao family’s fields are not only located around Zhaojia Village in the west of the town, but also around the county town, including much more land in the east of the town.

Just the large farm outside the city that was bought by Mr. Zhao Sanye from the inheritance left by Mr. Wu was enough to cover all the land she had purchased around the village.

But people are so strange. They had already ranked her family before she revealed her true wealth, as if my east town can compete with your west town.
