Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 555: This, I like to hear
Seeing that his eldest son understood what his father was worried about, Gu Erzhu put the teacup in his hand on the coffee table beside him.

He listened again and heard that it seemed that the second mule cart carrying things had returned. After standing up, he thought about it and whispered a few words to remind his eldest son.

"Now even your eldest brother's corvée labor has been exempted. Your eldest brother and his wife are neither rich nor poor, so you don't have to worry about your eldest brother and his wife being short of money.

Also, before you go to the county school, remember to visit your father-in-law's house and talk to him nicely. Ask him and his mother-in-law to come to your house more often. Do you understand?"

"Understand."

Gone?

Seeing his old son who had suddenly become less talkative, Gu Erzhu couldn't help but laugh and patted his son on the shoulder, "Maybe your father-in-law is already at the entrance of the village."

"almost."

"What?"

"He won't come if you're here, but he won't feel at ease if he doesn't take a look. My son understands all these principles, so don't worry."

"Silly boy. Let's go, it's time to go out and take a look. Don't be pedantic like those scholars. San Ya is a twin now, so she can help and keep an eye on it.

Our family is not a scholarly family, so it is better for us to live a down-to-earth life, without stealing or robbing to make money. There is no point in bringing shame to scholars for such things.

It’s not Dad who said that Sanya’s great-grandfather is good in everything except this one thing. A few days ago, he caught Sanya and told her not to distract you or anything like that.

My son is still studying hard. If he can pass the imperial examination, he will pass it. If he can't, he will still live the same life. When the child is born, raising him well and educating him well is a hundred times better than anything else.

Children are the most important thing. Look how good it is for Dad to have you three. Dad can't even read a single word. There's nothing to worry about. Just wait to enjoy the happiness."

Not worried yet?

Gu Wenxuan burst out laughing, picked up the cloak and helped his father put it on, saying "OK" and jokingly saying that his father was not illiterate and could recite the Thousand Character Classic by heart.

Gu Erzhu likes to hear this.

If a father could give birth to a son who is the third best in the imperial examination, how bad could he be? He would have no chance to go to school, otherwise there would be no chance for Boss Zhao to come into being.

"I'm not exaggerating. It's just that I didn't have much experience in my early years and didn't realize that I actually have a talent for studying. Otherwise, you would have become the son of a first-rank minister long ago."

Gu Wenxuan laughed.

Got beaten.

At the workshop at the entrance of the village, even though Zhou Sishun no longer wanted to be misunderstood as a father interfering in his married daughter's business, his feet still refused to obey his orders.

He got up early in the morning and looked at the snow in the yard. After the housekeeper took people to clear the snow, he went to the fields in the west first. He saw that the wheat seedlings were not crushed by the snow, and the pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese were well taken care of by the village head and were not frozen. After returning home and having lunch, his feet started to itch again.

Nap?

What is that? It's just a joke. A man from a poor family doesn't need to take a nap. He has nothing to do anyway, so he might as well go out for a walk.

With this turn, he arrived at the market at the intersection.

Seeing that the accumulated snow yesterday did not crush his rows of shops, just as the housekeeper said, he turned to the entrance of Gujiazhuang village.

There are quite a few people at the entrance of the village.

Perhaps all the people who had come to watch the fun in the morning had finished watching, and only the servants from his San Ya's family were left busying around here. They were very respectful when they saw him coming.

As his daughter San Ya said, it was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so he could only go in and take a look. This prodigal daughter was not good at saving money, but she was good at managing people. One by one, without his daughter San Ya being present or the son-in-law personally watching, the servants worked very hard, even sweeping the snow on the road clean.

The two workshops were also kept clean and tidy. No one needed to shout when anything was moved in. Everything was put in place.

Oh, the in-laws and son-in-law are here.

When Zhou Sishun saw Gu Erzhu and his son arriving, he didn't even bother to look at the middle gate to see what rules the guards followed to decide whether to let people into the village.

The son-in-law can be put aside, and the brothers-in-law should be welcomed. Whether his daughter San Ya can live happily in her husband's family depends on her parents-in-law.

Mother-in-law, it's not easy for a grown man like him to get close to old women. His third daughter's father-in-law is still capable, but the eldest brother of the Ma family will sooner or later come behind him.

Any relative would be like him. No matter how successful his daughter is, he has to lower his attitude as a father. Even in front of old man Li, he, as a relative, dare not say that his eldest daughter married down.

"Second brother, why are you out in such a cold weather? No one can be as good a father as you are. Don't blame my third daughter for always treating you as her real father. You are unwilling to take away half of me."

Gu Erzhu laughed and stretched out his hand to hook Zhou Sishun's neck, "Why are you trying to trick me like that? Didn't I say Liu Lang is your son? Look how generous I am!"

"No, what's the use of a son? He will forget his mother after getting married. He can't be as caring as a daughter." Zhou Sishun said with a smile and waved to his son-in-law who was bowing.

Gu Wenxuan: ...

"Brother, I've seen that the business of these two workshops is not too bad. Not counting Manager Wang, they are making a lot of money just from the people who come to the market to buy--"

"Stop, don't tell me about making money. These two kids are too capable. I'm worried about them. There's a paper mill behind us. A big tree attracts the wind."

"Don't worry, Zhao Laosan has such a rich family, so why should we worry? My brother-in-law is a quasi-juren, so how can he not use his brain?

We old brothers don’t care anymore, let the children deal with it. With my brother-in-law around, I have nothing to worry about. Now I just hope that San Ya will give birth to a boy.

With their brains, the child won't be that bad. You and my second sister-in-law can just wait for your children and grandchildren to flourish and make them proud."

"Why don't you give birth to a son——"

"I'm going to get mad!"

"Why are you upset? A granddaughter is not a granddaughter. You are my biological father, but you are not as good as me. I tell you, my granddaughter will be ranked according to the generation, and the word "Ming" must be in the middle."

"Yes, have you chosen a name for the child?"

"Not yet. We have to wait until the baby is born. San Ya really likes the nickname Suozhu and said she wants to call her daughter Suozhu too."

"Hiss, the girl's nickname is Suozhu? It's better to call her Huaer or something like that. It's almost five months. Has our Erlang found out that the baby is pregnant?"

"A son is no longer under the control of his father. Brother, our Erlang wouldn't even let me ask, saying that since there are two brothers and they don't want to find the younger one, any child they have will be a treasure."

"This kid is very pleasing to the ear. Why don't we ask Doctor Dong about this? Doctor Dong is a half-god and has a worse temper than an old god. I'm afraid of him."

"Do you think I'm not afraid of him? The old immortal is still very reasonable. Unlike him, he would prick people with a long needle at any time when he disagrees with others, and he said it was for our own good."

"That's right. You weren't home a few days ago, and I didn't have anyone to talk to. So I went to find him and threatened to keep talking to me, making me mute. It was so scary."

"You didn't say you were still the second master of the Zhou Mansion?"

"You want me to be stabbed to death by him?"
