Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Like the Gao family, the more they are a wealthy family whose ancestors had titles, and who are not doing too badly now that they have lost them.

The men, young and old, don't say anything, but the girls are disciplined very strictly.

No matter how favored a girl is, unless someone deliberately flatters her, she will have to learn this and that from a young age. If she doesn't learn well, she will be spanked, forced to copy or kneel.

Although they are the daughters of wealthy families, their lives are actually not much better than the maids around their elders. After all, they are the best tools for marriage arrangement.

It would be better if the head of the family had a bottom line in his actions. Even the most unfavored concubine's daughter would not be randomly betrothed for the benefit of the family.

But, Uncle Qi’s daughter?
If she remembered correctly, Uncle Qi seemed to have only one daughter, a legitimate daughter, who was thirteen or fourteen this year?

She didn't come earlier or later, but just happened to come over when her master's aunt and her family of three came to visit her, so she followed him here. It's the end of the year, what are the rules of the Qi Mansion?
If it is purely for the purpose of continuing the friendship of the previous generation and deepening the relationship between the younger generations of the two families, when can the little girl be the representative? It is not like Master Qi has no son.

Even if you don't have a son, you still have a nephew.

Could it be that Uncle Master Qi's daughter is a special case, being spoiled so much that she can do whatever she wants?
impossible!
When my aunt praised her in the first half of this year, she also mentioned that Uncle Qi's daughter was also well-educated. No matter who my aunt was, she would never deceive her, not even in private.

Zhou Banxia’s brain was working rapidly, and suddenly something came to his mind.

Think about it.

impossible.

This girl is the legitimate daughter of a father whose status is no less than that of Lord Zhao.

Her younger brother, Dajiang, is very outstanding.

He has good looks and talent, but he is still far from passing the imperial examination.

Not to mention the imperial examinations or the provincial examinations, Dajiang has no plans to try the waters next year.

Even if you take part in the provincial examination right away next year and get on the list, there is still the metropolitan examination, which you cannot pass in one go.

This means at least five years in total.

Five years would be enough for Dajiang's talent and luck to reach their peak. By then, the girl would be eighteen or nineteen years old. How could Uncle Qi be willing to let his only daughter marry to Qinghe Village?

For a moment, Zhou Banxia seemed to have thought a lot, but it was only two blinks of an eye.

While Liu picked up the teacup, she asked quickly.

"Mother, do you know how many guards and maids they brought with them?"

I originally wanted to ask my mother-in-law if she knew how old the daughter of Doctor Lin, a female doctor, was this year.

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but Zhou Banxia changed his words and explained.

"I'm not worried that you're not prepared, I just want to see from the number of people how much they value their trip."

Liu glanced at her sideways and said, "You are overthinking, mother, don't you know that I am the one you trust the most?

This, maybe even you, Brother Liulang, are not very clear about.

Before he left today, he talked to me and your father about ten people.

It was in the afternoon, around 3 p.m., that your brother Liu Lang asked Zhiming to come back.

It is said that if we call together 20 to 30 people, we can reach the next nearest post station to rest before dark today."

This guy is awesome!

Zhou Banxia really wanted to complain, your old son didn't even let Zhiming come back to report this to me...

"Yes, when Zhiming came back to tell me and your father about this in the afternoon, he slapped his head and said that he forgot to report it to you. It's not that your brother Liu Lang wanted to hide it from you." Zhou Banxia looked at Liu with resentment, "You still say that you are close to me, but I am your daughter. Why are you partial to your brother-in-law again? He just hid it from me, okay?"

Liu laughed and quickly put the teacup back to its place to prevent the tea from spilling.

"Mother, tell me, between me and Brother Liu Lang, who do you love the most?"

"Haha... do you even need to ask? Mother definitely loves you the most." Liu managed to hold back her laughter and immediately repeated very solemnly, "You are the one that mother loves the most."

Zhou Banxia patted her chest, pretending to be relieved, and said, "I knew it, I am your eldest daughter and Baoya is your oldest daughter, there is no doubt about it.

Your brother-in-law is so mean. I, your eldest daughter, will no longer pay attention to him.

Let's continue talking about my grandma's house. I want to invite my grandparents to stay with me for a while before the New Year—"

Now that the pigs and sheep have been slaughtered, Zhou Banxia simply took advantage of the fact that only her mother-in-law was at home and started to inquire about when to invite her grandparents to stay with her for a while and bring the New Year gifts over.

Liu knew that her eldest son had made an appointment with his grandparents to pick them up to stay at home for a few days after Laba Festival, but her eldest son was very busy.

I didn't go home this Laba Festival, and I was busy for two days when I came back this time, so I didn't hear about it. I guess I forgot about it, but I didn't expect that my daughter-in-law remembered it.

But she also knew very well that, not to mention that there were going to be guests at home recently, it was impossible for her parents to come and stay for a while.

Grandson and grandson, as long as the word "wai" is included, they are not descendants of the Liu family.

Especially her father?
Before, she, the second daughter, was treated like a treasure, especially after the eldest daughter committed suicide because she could not bear the humiliation, she, the second daughter, obviously became very important in the child's grandfather's heart.

but!

When they took refuge here and decided to settle down, no matter how much the child's grandfather hated the old man for selling his daughter for fame and fortune, he still gave up her for his children and grandchildren.

Since ancient times, no respectable family would accept a bride price without giving the girl something as a dowry to take to her husband's home.

Being down and out is not an excuse; one or two ounces of silver is a valuable asset.

Isn't it giving up on this girl?
How could her parents not imagine that a second daughter who didn't know the ways of the world would not be protected by a mere good husband after she married into the husband's family as a second daughter-in-law.

She was young and ignorant, but she had so many parents and sisters, so how could she not know that the most difficult relationship in the world was that between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and between sisters-in-law.

And the fact is that it is true. With no family to rely on, no dowry or skills, and with a niece of her mother-in-law as the eldest daughter-in-law, how can she live!

She is not afraid of being poor.

Since she had fallen in love with the child's father at that time, she naturally thought that she would face life in an unfamiliar farm family. She was exhausted and almost despaired many times.

For many things, it is impossible to make up for the harm the child has suffered by the grandfather simply by saying that he has regretted it for a long time or that he is willing to support her now.

The child's grandparents must know this, so how could they come to live with their grandson for a while?

The only decency her parents had left was self-respect and self-love. Even if her son-in-law personally came to invite them to stay for a while, they would not come.

Not to mention her parents, her eldest brother is no longer the third young master of the Liu family who didn't understand the ways of the world. He would definitely not agree to let her parents live in her sister's house for a while. Doesn't he think it's embarrassing for her to be caught in the middle?

Of course, she couldn't tell these thoughts to her daughter-in-law.

Liu just nodded, accepting the good intentions of her old daughter-in-law, and also said that she would pass it on to the two elders.

As for whether the two elders will come?

It's another story.

After all, her child did invite her sincerely. If one of them was still studying in the county school and the other was a twin, the couple would definitely come to pick her up in person. (End of this chapter)
