Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Gu Wenxuan was not very hungry. His life now was not as short of oil and water as when he first arrived. He would feel hungry before mealtime, especially at night.

But his wife was different, and she was pregnant with a baby. He didn't have time to say much. He asked Zhou Banxia to sit down, changed into casual clothes, and took his wife to eat first.

Compared with usual, his wife's appetite was obviously much better. She ate one and a half bowls of rice at noon. Of course, it was definitely not a big bowl of rice.

But it was pretty good. After all, when her appetite was the best at school, she would only eat two or three taels of rice. If she ate two more bites, she would feel bloated.

After the meal, Gu Wenxuan took a special look at Zhou Banxia's recently revised menu for the late pregnancy period to see if it was as stated in the letter, with fewer crosses on the menu.

In other words, she did eat 70 to 80 percent of the meals and midnight snacks prepared by the cook in the kitchen, so she really cared about her children.

After Zhou Banxia digested his food and fell asleep as if taking a nap, Gu Wenxuan was about to go out.

What he didn't say before was that although his mother was in a hurry to go out, she also made a long story short by saying that his uncle and his sons were helping to slaughter pigs and sheep in Hexi Village.

So, including his father-in-law and mother-in-law, his parents have been entertaining everyone there for lunch and dinner since yesterday, and the same was true for lunch today.

But from what his mother said, it seemed that even his aunt came this morning, so she was anxious to go there earlier than yesterday, and hurriedly asked him to go back to the west courtyard first.

After leaving the west courtyard, Gu Wenxuan first went to the outer courtyard to find Chang Qing.

This butler was not doing his job properly. He was devoted to training the guards. He usually went out early and came back late, either in the back mountain or in the workshop.

This afternoon, I was in the workshop as usual.

Walk straight out of the outer courtyard and pass through the back door of the workshop. Before reaching the canteen, Chang Qing and Zhou Molan are already waiting at the intersection, unafraid of the severe cold.

"Uncle."

Look, he’s even more anxious than him.

Gu Wenxuan knew that the couple were concerned about whether Zhou Banxia had known about his trip to Zhoujia Village, as well as the situation of the midwife and female doctor who had arrived in the past two days.

After the couple exchanged greetings, there was no way to stop them from being polite. They then went on to say that there is no order without rules, that there is a distinction between the superior and the inferior, and that etiquette cannot be abolished.

In terms of rules, the couple not only have very strict requirements on their servants, they also like to set an example themselves. Most of the time, they would never say anything without speaking.

Seeing this, Gu Wenxuan did not keep the person in suspense. While walking towards the accounting office in front, he briefly explained how helpful the guard team was on his trip to Zhoujia Village.

For example, when they were staying overnight, the guards had already gone ahead to scout and make arrangements without his instructions, which saved a lot of time.

In addition, the ten men who were escorting him were also very good riders. They rode at full speed all the way back and forth, and no one could fail to keep up. These ten men could be trusted with important tasks.

At the very least, next year when Gu Dahua inspects their respective estates on behalf of his wife, the guards who will accompany Gu Dahua can choose from them.

Originally, he and his wife wanted to let Gu Dali or Gu Youcheng each pick one or two people to accompany Gu Dahua on an outing next year. It seems that these ten people are also outstanding.

Especially Gu Youguang, who is the leader of the ten guards on this trip. He has very good overall abilities, and we can find an opportunity to let him officially serve as the captain of the fifth team.

Of course, since they accompanied him on a not-too-far journey, in addition to the job transfers of some individuals, everyone would definitely receive financial rewards.

There was no need for him to say more about this. With clear rules and regulations on rewards and punishments, Chang Qing, as the chief butler, would naturally make arrangements. After talking about the performance of these accompanying personnel, the next thing was the key points, which were also the things that Chang Qing and Zhou Molan wanted to know the most.

First, in Zhoujia Village, his master was living a very carefree life. On the day he arrived, there was a message from his master in the mansion: "It is a great pleasure to have friends come."

However, the master will not be able to stay idle for long. According to the old housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion, the last time Imperial Physician Xu came was before Laba Festival.

Imperial Physician Xu said frankly that the residual poison in the gentleman's body had been completely eliminated, and now his body had recovered and he could easily kill a big tiger.

Secondly, the master's wife would come back from the capital before the New Year's Eve, and even my eldest brother-in-law and his three brothers would return to Zhoujia Village to worship their ancestors on the 28th at the latest.

Finally, it’s about the female doctor and the midwife.

The female doctor who will arrive here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is Uncle Qi's junior sister. To be more precise, she is Uncle Qi's junior sister who studies medicine in the same school, and she is also the junior sister who is looking for a son-in-law.

It is said that Uncle Qi loves this little Junior Sister very much. He is also worried that although the capital is full of powerful people, they are not suitable matches for her, so he even arranges for her to live with his brother-in-law.

Especially because of her good medical skills, the woman could move around in the backyards of deep houses and became famous in the capital in the past few years. Uncle Qi was worried that his junior sister would be involved in trouble.

Therefore, this junior sister and her family were sent by Uncle Master Qi to settle in his hometown, Qingzhou Prefecture. The reason why they were invited this time was because of the master's face.

The midwife who came with her was not from the capital. She was one of the two midwives who were transferred from the master's wife's family in Yangzhou Prefecture at her request.

"…I heard that you are very familiar with these two, Aunt Lan. The midwife who came to our place is surnamed Li, Muzi Li, and her husband's surname is Chen, Erduo Chen.

Her mother, mother-in-law, and her eldest sister-in-law from her natal family and husband's family were all midwives. I heard that when her eldest brother and his two brothers were born, her aunt and sister-in-law were invited.

This time, the Master's wife also invited the two sisters-in-law. Because the dates of the weddings of my eldest sister-in-law and my wife were not far apart, the Master's wife asked her to come first.

As for the female doctor, her surname was Lin, and she brought Uncle Qi's daughter with her this time. Uncle Qi's daughter was originally in the capital, which was a coincidence.

I don't know where this little girl heard that her aunt was coming to our place, and Uncle Qi and his wife didn't try to stop her, so she set out from the capital with Midwife Chen.

So they will come to us after they meet up in Zhoujia Village. Aunt Lan, Uncle Qi's daughter is about the same age as Dajiang. "

Hear the string song and know its elegant meaning.

At this moment, not only Zhou Molan chuckled, Chang Qing also nodded and smiled, which was very rare, "The third branch of the Qi Mansion only has this daughter, and she is also the legitimate daughter."

"He is well behaved and not arrogant. I have heard that Madam Qi doesn't want to choose someone who dances with spears and sticks for her daughter."

As she spoke, Zhou Molan was afraid that Gu Wenxuan didn't know the background of the Third Madam of the Qi Mansion. "The Third Madam's family is a military family, and she is very favored by her family.

Originally, the Third Lady's family had plans to further their relationship, but not only was Third Master Qi unhappy about this, his wife also didn't want to let her only daughter marry back into her family.

It's almost like military generals are not as popular as civil officials. Her family had wanted to give up military service and pursue literature a long time ago, but there hasn't been a single Jinshi in these three generations.

There are people from scholarly families who come to ask for marriage, but although this girl is not arrogant, she is spoiled by Mr. Qi San, so she has a lot of ideas and is good at choosing people, otherwise she would have been engaged long ago." (End of this chapter)
