Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 615: It’s Not Easy to Say
If it wasn't for the girl's reputation being involved, after hearing what Gu Erzhu said, Chang Qing really wanted to share the deep meaning behind Master Qi's allowing his daughter to come here.

——The Qi family is interested in forming a marriage.

However, this matter really could not come out of the couple's mouths. It was another matter for the son-in-law to report it to his parents. In short, there was a difference between master and servant, so he should not say too much.

"Sit down, why are you standing up?" Seeing Chang Qing was about to stand up to reply, Gu Erzhu stopped him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "I won't tease you anymore. If it's hard to say, then don't say it."

I still want to say this to him. Chang Qing sat back on the stool with amusement, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that the Qi family is very considerate in etiquette.

Not only did the young master of the mansion personally deliver their New Year gifts to Zhoujia Village this year, but they also wanted to personally send a return gift to our mansion so that they could get together with their son-in-law.

Not only Mr. Qi Sanye, the Qi family also intends to let their young masters and young ladies get to know the princes and young ladies. This time it is very likely that the eldest young master of the Qi family will come.

However, the young master of the Qi family will arrive a little later, and he has to wait in Beijing for the third young master to set off back to Zhoujia Village, and then come here to pick up the young lady of the Qi family and bring her back to Beijing.

The son-in-law knew all of this. He had mentioned before that they would not stay long, at most two nights, in the guest house in the outer courtyard.

As for where to place the young lady of the Qi Mansion, it is up to you and the Madam to decide. As for the young lady, the son-in-law does not want her to know in advance, so he has not mentioned it to her yet."

Does that mean his old son knows everything? Gu Erzhu nodded slowly. It seems that Mr. Zhou has more power than his old son told him privately.

Look, at this critical moment when the government office is sealed, not only did they run to Zhoujia Village, but they also wanted to come here. It must not be because of their fellow apprentices.

Hearing that Liu and Zhou Molan had already started discussing where the distinguished guest should stay, he and Chang Qing had nothing to do here anymore.

Gu Erzhu gave Chang Qing a wink, and the two of them first left the east room of the upper house on this side of the farm. His eldest son finally showed up, and even his in-laws did not slip away.

Although there were no outsiders in the upper room because of slaughtering pigs and sheep, and if there were any, they were guarded by the maids and old women, but it was no longer appropriate to talk about "family matters" outside the upper room's east room.

Gu Erzhu was not in a hurry to find his eldest son to solve the puzzle. He glanced at his eldest son meaningfully and accepted the invitation from his in-laws to go and watch the slaughtering of pigs and sheep together.

At this point, the New Year pig had been slaughtered and only one was left.

Out of concern that the eldest uncle of the Gu family would be too tired and also not wanting to affect his butcher shop business, they hired experienced people from the Ma family's breeding farm to buy the sheep.

In two places, you do your thing and he does his thing. It seems that the distance between them is only one or two hundred meters. There are many people running back and forth, making it very lively.

Before, a few kids around seven or eight years old, I don’t know if it’s true or not, said that the village school had meat for lunch, so they took the opportunity to see if there was anything they could help with before the afternoon class.

At this time, all the obedient ones were gone, but the younger children who were stumbling and running, or those who were not held by their parents knew that their name was Gu Wenxuan.

Especially the little kids with the surname Zhou, they called him sweetly, regardless of whether they were within the fifth degree of mourning, and they all shouted that he was either brother-in-law or uncle-in-law. They even stopped calling him third brother-in-law or third uncle-in-law.

Zhou Sishun saw that his third uncle was very happy. If he hadn't interrupted him from time to time, his third uncle would have been so happy that he would have given away a pig.

This damn child is becoming more and more like San Ya. Neither of the young couple is stingy with money. How much money do they have to earn to save up 30,000 taels of silver in three to five years!

So worried.

"Pig's trotters are perfect for postpartum confinement."

Gu Wenxuan said he understood. He would not give anything as a gift. Even if his wife needed something, she would not be without pig's trotters for the confinement period in February or March next year. And pig's blood could be used to make blood sausage, which his wife loved to eat.

There are also some offal and pig heads. His wife has a secret recipe. They should be braised so that they are not too fragrant. It would be a good snack for the two fathers.

It's cold today, so it's like a natural refrigerator. You can keep food fresh by freezing it outside. You don't have to worry about it going bad if you have too much.

Seeing that the small intestine had been washed and prepared, Gu Wenxuan knew that his wife had given instructions to make not only some bacon and cured meat, but also sausages.

His wife particularly likes the sweet Cantonese sausages, so she specially learned how to make them, and the taste is simply amazing.

Of course, he likes salty and spicy sausages. He puts some salty and spicy sausages in rice and steams them together. The steamed rice is salty, fragrant, soft and sticky, which is very delicious.

Are ten pigs too many?
Not much at all.

Today's pigs are not like the white pigs of later generations. The fattest ones weigh less than 200 pounds. Apart from the ones given as gifts and distributed as welfare during the New Year, there are actually not many left.

Fortunately, even though the pigs in his own farm have not grown up yet, he can still buy some fresh pork from Ma's farm and his uncle's farm 365 days a year.

From the place where the New Year pig was slaughtered to the place where the sheep were slaughtered, Gu Wenxuan took a look and had an idea in mind. After leaving Hexi, he sent Jiaxing to the county town on the way.

The villagers who came to watch the fun followed one another. The old ox that was about to die suddenly simply asked the other party to pack it up and take it back to the village, just like Yun Kelai did.

"Come back so early?"

Zhou Banxia woke up from a nap and saw that it was still dark. Gu Wenxuan came out of the bathroom, still damp, and asked curiously.

"Both my parents wouldn't let me stay for long, and I chatted with my uncle and his family for a while, but they were busy, so I came back first.

I've seen that the village has arranged everything in an orderly manner. It doesn't matter whether we are there or not. No need. It's better for you to sit there peacefully."

Gu Wenxuan quickly stopped Zhou Banxia from trying to help him wring out his long hair, and said, "It's just the ends of your hair that are wet. Don't worry, your man won't be frozen."

"Who's worried about you?" Zhou Banxia glared at him coquettishly, knowing that it was not appropriate to enter the villa during the day.

When it was time to go to bed after dark, Gu Wenxuan would still go in to take a bath and wash his hair. Only after he dried his long hair with a hair dryer would he feel completely clean.

At the same time, seeing that Gu Wenxuan's long hair was indeed as he said, with not many wet places, she smiled and said, "It doesn't stink, it smells very good."

"You really smelled it?" Gu Wenxuan pulled out a drawer from the dressing table and handed a flat wooden box to Zhou Banxia, ​​"Everything is fine, but this hair is annoying.

Many people in the county school don’t take a shower for half a month and just wipe their hair. I can’t wash my hair every few days. Sometimes I can even smell how bad I am.”

Looking at the wooden box that seemed very familiar to him, Zhou Banxia asked after listening to his complaints, "Can't you go back to your house to wash during dinner time?"

"It's not possible during this period. The more after-school time there is, the more classmates come to talk to me, especially at mealtime, and there are always classmates around to ask questions.

On weekdays, we don’t have regular classes at the county school. During this period, most students are studying at the county school. It’s not good to be unsociable. Fortunately, I can bear it and it will pass. "
