Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

When children grow up, whether they are rich or poor, talking about marriage becomes the top priority. Zhou Sishun is not in a hurry for his eldest son's marriage but he can't help but want to hear his son's opinion.

The manor was indeed very close to the Zhou family. No matter how hard the driver drove, he had to drive slowly and steadily. In less than an incense stick of time, the car stopped outside the gate of the Zhou family.

home.

Zhou Sishun returned to his room and took off his big fur cloak with the help of Li. After drinking the ginger soup served by the maid, he went to the east wing where Dajiang lived first.

Dajiang is on vacation at home, so Xiaohe must stay with his brother. Last night, he was checked to see if he had slacked off in his studies recently, so he feels much more relaxed tonight.

When we arrived on Thursday, the brothers Dajiang and Xiaohe were in the study in the east wing, one grinding ink while the other chatted with a list of books.

Hearing the servant calling "Master", the two brothers hurriedly stopped and planned to go out to greet their father, but they heard Zhou Sishun telling them not to come out.

Unlike the big river that has to grind ink and put the grinding bar in place, the small river that holds the list of books has an absolute advantage.

——She yelled at him, "Brother, slow down!" and she had already run out of the study room with her short legs. She then rushed over and called him "Daddy" in a very sweet voice.

If it weren't for the fact that the eldest son acted like a little adult in front of outsiders, Zhou Sishun always had the illusion that this was the eldest daughter, just like now.

The marriage of this little girl can be put on hold for a while. After five or eight years, we can think about who to marry for her. It’s not too late to find a girl from any family.

"Did your brother tell you how long you have to review tonight? He has to go out early tomorrow morning before dawn. Please help dad keep an eye on your brother and don't let him stay up late, okay?"

"I know, Daddy. My brother said that he would go to bed tonight before the third watch. Daddy, do you know who my third sister has asked to be the night watchman?"

Zhou Sishun was stunned. "Aren't there guards patrolling at night? Who are you listening to? Why didn't Dad hear your third sister mention it? Did someone ask your third sister for a job?"

"No." Xiao He shook the hand that was holding Zhou Sishun's right hand, and walked towards the study, saying, "My third sister told me this during the day.

The old men from the Zhou and Gu families who are guarding the ancestral hall have been secretly taking turns patrolling at night with the guards recently. At first, the guards thought they couldn't sleep and wanted to find someone to chat with.

After hearing each of them say that their hands and feet were fine, and seeing that they were still in good health and dressed warmly, the guards did not take it seriously.

But for four or five nights in a row, there were old people taking turns to patrol at night. Gu Dali checked and found out who reported it to Uncle Chang Qing, and Uncle Chang Qing asked Aunt Lan to tell the third sister.

My third sister thought it would not be a good idea to let them go to the village entrance of Gujiazhuang to patrol at night. If they were drunk, they would be on our territory. So she wanted them to keep watch around the ancestral hall.

In this way, the ancestral halls on both sides will not be worried about someone walking away at night and causing trouble, and the guards will have to make fewer circles around the village every night and can even wander around the outskirts.

It just so happens that the New Year is approaching, and from what my third sister said about the oil paper processing workshop, it seems that they will set aside 10% of the profits at the end of the year to subsidize the elders in the village.

The third sister wanted to take out the monthly night watch wages from this to repay their kindness and also to set an example so that people would feel that hard work will be rewarded.

It’s not that Third Sister doesn’t want to discuss this with you and Uncle Gu, it’s that Third Sister’s husband is coming back soon. The woman is in charge of the home and the man is in charge of the outside world. Third Sister doesn’t want people to think that she has the final say on everything.

My third sister quietly told me that if you want to be strong, you must first know when to do it. For something like this involving two families, it is not easy for her to stand in front of her third brother-in-law. It is better to pretend that she doesn't know and wait for her third brother-in-law to come back and let him come forward. Even the eldest brother of the Gu family and his wife will subconsciously think that the guards listen to her third brother-in-law.

The third sister said that people are close to each other in different ways. No matter how good she is, she is the daughter-in-law and the sister-in-law of the third sister-in-law. The third sister-in-law can be willful and make mistakes. She doesn't need to show off in everything.

In addition, now there are more than a few daughters-in-law in the Ma family who are not satisfied with letting them collect some of the fat, and even Aunt Ma comes to visit her daughter more often.

Although she lived close to the two families here and there, unlike in the village where there were so many people and gossips, Aunt Ma still worked hard for the interests of her sons.

The third sister said, "Birds die for food, and people die for money." She is now like a big piece of fat meat. If anyone can't take a bite, they will want to take some of the fat back.

So letting the third brother-in-law be the head of the family can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. First of all, the second uncle and second aunt of the Gu family will definitely stand on the side of their eldest son..."

There was no need for the eldest son to explain this point, as Zhou Sishun also understood his daughter's intention. But he still listened to his eldest son's words very seriously and nodded heavily.

Xiaohe was so happy that she didn't even bother to take the cup handed to her by Dajiang and drink a sip of warm water. She opened her little mouth and immediately took out a handful of reassuring pills.

"Just take care of yourself and relax. Third sister is very capable. She taught me a lot every day and I understood it all. How could she not understand it herself?
As for you, my third sister is always worried about you. Now she is not worried about your studies, but your marriage. She thinks no one is worthy of you. "

Dajiang: “…”

Zhou Sishun laughed loudly and stroked his oldest son's head, "You can't escape it either. When you grow up, your third sister will also think that no one is worthy of you.

There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. You should marry a wife who will accompany you for the rest of your life. If you have a girl you like, don’t be embarrassed to say it out loud.”

Dajiang, whose face was red even under the candlelight, shook his head hastily, "No. Now it's not like going to school in the village. I live and eat in the county school and rarely go out.

Even if she was going to school in the county, a decent girl would not deliberately fall down in front of me on the road, let alone one who was about to fall down and there was a servant boy blocking my way.

Sometimes a classmate would invite me to his house to sit for a while, but I would not go alone. Besides, we were all scholars, so we would know the difference between men and women, and we would not embarrass ourselves in front of our classmates. "

I see. Zhou Sishun pondered for a moment, "What about the teachers? Did the teachers in the county school ask you to visit their homes? When you visited the teacher's wife, which young lady did you meet?"

Da Jiang laughed all of a sudden, "Dad, did you hear my third brother-in-law say that he and I went to County Cheng's mansion a few days ago and met Madam Cheng and his daughter?

No, it wasn't. My brother-in-law and Cheng Xianyu had just left for a while, and the girl didn't know I was still in the study room, so she rushed in to look for Cheng Xianyu. I was scared by her.

There is no such thing as liking or not liking anything. If I liked something, I would have told you when I came back yesterday. You and Third Sister don't think that I must marry a daughter of a wealthy family.

Besides, Cheng Xianyu's family is not low-class, but I don't like girls who are reckless. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, if she doesn't even have this ability to read people's expressions, she is not a good match.

I am looking for the eldest daughter-in-law in our family. She can be average-looking, but she must be smart. Even if she is not as smart as my third sister, at least 50% or 60%." (End of this chapter)
