Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

After talking about the old lady of the Zhou family, he went on to talk about how Gu Dalang's family of four had given up their house a month ago and now moved back to the backyard of their grocery store.

There are Gu Yangwen, Gu Erniu, and Gu Silang who often stays in the city on snowy days. Perhaps because the place they live in is not spacious enough, Gu Dalang's wife wants to bring her children back.

According to Ms. Oda, the grocery store was very busy, but they were short of money to purchase goods and make it available for turnover. She even went to borrow fifty taels of silver from Mr. and Mrs. Gu a few days ago.

He said that he wanted to pay Zhou Banxia back twenty taels of silver first, and use the extra thirty taels to purchase goods before the end of the year, so that the shop would not have nothing to sell and miss the first month of the year.

But before Gu Laosi could refuse, Fang declined.

Afterwards, Oda went back and complained to Mr. Gu, saying that Fang was in charge of the family. She also mentioned that her third son was working in the fourth room and was afraid of death.

Regarding this matter, according to Gu Sanlang's wife, if Old Lady Gu had not stopped him last night, Old Man Gu would have wanted to send Gu Qilang to go find his eldest son that night.

"…Their first room is still a mess. It will be even more chaotic when Dalang's wife comes back. If someone comes to look for you and your mother is not at home, you know what to do, right?
Just let Mai Huang tell someone that you just lay down in the room. No matter who it is, including your third aunt and old aunt, it is best not to see them for a few days.

It's not that I'm judging others by my own standards, but no matter who comes to you, they will definitely mention that your aunt wants to borrow money from your uncle and his wife to pay you back.

What will you say when the time comes? If they say they don’t need the money, they may even be shameless and ask you to borrow more money for cash flow. It’s very annoying. And don’t be alone with anyone when you see them.

We met in mother's yard. Your sister-in-law and Bao Ya are not with you, so remember not to be alone. It is best to bring the maid with you.

Just like last time in the city, Dalang's wife was making up stories outside, who knows what she is thinking this time when she comes back, she can't stand seeing too many people doing well."

"Mom, I told you, I'm not a good person."

Liu wanted to laugh when she heard this. She believed that for the child to come back from the deep house with a clean conscience, it would naturally require some scheming and trickery, but this was a different time.

How could she not know that the child has more concerns now? As a person, he will inevitably be restrained by his concerns, especially by his husband's family.

Like her.

When she first got married, she never thought that once she got married, she would often have to consider the reputation of the child's father, and she had to endure it even if she didn't want to.

Zhou Banxia learned a lot from this night's heart-to-heart talk, and Liu was also very satisfied. If it weren't for the loud noise, she would have liked to chat more with her old daughter-in-law.

After seeing the hair growth oil (head oil) and perfume fresh from the workshop, and touching the warm kang bed, she told her daughter-in-law not to get up early the next day and then she went back.

If you don’t come back, your child’s father will be anxious.

"What are you doing outside? It's windy outside."

After leaving the warm room, Liu was helped to put on a cloak by Gu Dahua's servants. When she turned around, she saw Zhou Banxia sneaking into the hall again without her knowing.

Zhou Banxia laughed awkwardly, "I won't step out of the door, mother. It seems that not only the wind is getting stronger outside, but it's also snowing. Don't forget to put on your hand warmers."

"It's snowing, but it's very light now." Liu didn't even need to take two steps. When the maid opened the curtain and looked out, she was confident that the snowflakes wouldn't be too big at this time. If the snowflakes were big, Gu Dahua would mention it first. But the wind was whistling and the sound was loud, "Don't worry, mother will go through the corridor.

When he first saw that you two had set up hot pot stalls everywhere, your father complained that you were wasteful. But now that the benefits have come, he praises you two for being thoughtful.

"Okay, I'm going to go home first. There's less than half an hour left for supper, so remember to go to bed early. If you can't sleep, just lie down and close your eyes to rest, okay?"

"Okay, got it." Zhou Banxia said this and saw her mother-in-law glaring at her. She quickly moved a step to the side of the cotton curtain. As expected, she was satisfied and smiled again.

In fact, she just needed to wait for the maid who was opening the curtain outside the door to lift up the cotton curtain completely. There was a corridor outside the door, so she would not be frozen by the cold wind in such a short time.

After watching Liu leave, he took a shortcut from the corridor to the backyard and went directly back to the main courtyard. Before Liu's back disappeared, someone urged Zhou Banxia to go back to her room.

If you don't want to see the night view, you can't even take a look at the courtyard.

Back in the warm room, Zhou Banxia leaned on the couch, thinking about what her mother-in-law had said tonight, and reviewing what she had said to see if there was anything inappropriate.

After sitting for a while, she felt at ease. She stood up slowly, rang the bell to call Maidong in, and with the help of Maihuang, she went to the bathroom to wash up.

After changing into a middle-length shirt and trousers and then putting on a long vest, she was surprised to see that Gu Dachang's family, Mai Huang and others had not come back from sending her mother-in-law to the main courtyard.

After returning to her room and sitting in front of the dressing table, Zhou Banxia had Maidong braid her hair into two braids so that she could fall asleep. At the same time, she subconsciously listened to the noise outside.

Thinking about the dark night when snow and wind were raging outside, and the others were still standing outside, Zhou Banxia was a little worried that the maids and servants could not bear it, so he announced that they were going to bed.

She said she was going to bed, but in fact she had to have a midnight snack before going to bed. But until she said she was going to bed, even the maids who were not on duty tonight would not go back to their rooms to rest.

Just then, after about a cup of tea, she could hear Gu Dachang's family, Mai Huang and others sending her mother-in-law back from the main courtyard, and she could also hear a number of people guarding outside.

Even though the noise was small, her hearing was very good and they could not hide it from her. She also heard Gu Dachang's man quietly asking the girl if she wanted a midnight snack.
He Maihuang from Gu Dachang's family was shaking off the snow outside the main hall with snowflakes all over their bodies. They were afraid of bringing the cold to Zhou Banxia, ​​so they didn't dare to rush into the house.

"Mai Xiang, let them come in quickly. I'm in the inner room. By the time they come in, they won't be cold anymore. Also, it's cold tonight. Let everyone drink a bowl of ginger tea. Don't catch a cold."

After Mai Xiang responded, he bowed, took two steps back lightly, turned around and quickly left the inner room. According to Zhou Banxia's instructions, he let Gu Dachang's family and Mai Huang in first.

Mai Huang followed Gu Dachang's family and followed her into the warm room. He saw her daughter writing something late at night.

"You're back. What are you holding?" Zhou Banxia turned around and took a look, curious. "Did you just bring it back from the main courtyard?"

"Yes, Madam Second Young Master." Gu Dachang's wife put the things on the armchair beside her, "These are the two bags that the eldest aunt asked the master to bring back for you.

The eldest aunt originally wanted to ask the eldest young master to bring it back, but it happened that the master went to town in the afternoon, so the eldest aunt gave it to the master, saying that it was a worthless trinket.

Madam was afraid that we would be late and disturb your rest, so she asked us to bring it back first, saying that you would know what was inside after you opened it, and it was most likely a return gift." (End of this chapter)
