Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 664: Looking for her?

As soon as the word "ke" was uttered, Mai Huang came, still walking towards the window of the west ear room with heavy footsteps outside, not forgetting to make noises.

"Strange, strange, why did Zhiming come to see the Second Young Master again..."

Gu Wenxuan laughed muffledly.

Zhou Banxia held his forehead with his hand.

"I went out in the morning to do morning exercises with Dr. Song, Qi San and others at the martial arts training ground, but since your father came, I no longer went out with them.

Afterwards, they all went to Doctor Dong, and I asked Zhiming to accompany them. I thought they should have returned, so Zhiming came to inform me. "

He came back earlier than he expected. In all likelihood, he didn't stay with Doctor Dong for long. Someone came to ask Doctor Dong to see a patient.

Gu Wenxuan shook his head with regret. He had to go to the outer courtyard when the guests came back, so he had to hug his wife and said that they could not have lunch together again.

Even if you stay, we can't have lunch together, okay? Zhou Banxia wanted to laugh and pushed Gu Wenxuan, signaling him to go to the outer courtyard to entertain the guests.

After Gu Wenxuan left, Zhou Banxia asked Mai Huang to ask her Aunt Lan to come first, while she began to draft a route map from Qinghe Village to Zhoujia Village.

In less than a cup of tea, the locations of the villages, towns, nearby counties, and post stations along the way appeared on the paper, which showed that she had already made up her mind.

Then he drew circles on the paper several times, with a limit of fifty miles, to indicate the approximate locations of farms that could be built along this route.

The purpose is self-evident.

Before, she and her husband joked that having their own farm would make traveling wherever they went very convenient. It might not be possible on a large scale, but for this section of the journey, it is still possible.

Firstly, it is convenient to travel back and forth to Zhoujia Village without having to find a place to stay halfway due to weather and other factors; secondly, it is also for the convenience of freight transportation.

Nowadays, some of the raw materials needed for the workshop, such as spices, have to be purchased from the south of Zhoujia Village and then transported back to Zhoujia Village.

In addition, apart from the personal connections in the provincial capital, basically every household in other places also sent gifts and return gifts directly to the Zhou family village.

In a sense, the manor in Zhoujia Village was regarded as the second home of the couple by every household and mansion, so they were not afraid that once something was delivered, the couple would not be able to know about it in time.

handwashing.

After taking the towel handed over by Mai Dong, Zhou Banxia silently calculated the rough budget again and made sure that this matter did not conflict with his and his wife's plan to purchase property. He was too lazy to wait for Gu Wenxuan to come back in the afternoon to make a decision, but why didn't Mai Huang come back yet? Could it be that Aunt Lan was not at home?

Zhou Molan is very busy.

At the invitation of Zhou Sishun and Li, I just came back this morning after Chang Qing and Butler Zhou arranged a farewell banquet for tomorrow at the Zhou family, and heard that my in-laws’ wife had an invitation.

The lady-in-law was not Li, but Ma Shan's mother, Ma Qinshi Ma. She came to Liu's courtyard before 9 o'clock in the morning to return the invitation.

Liu knew that Doctor Lin and others probably didn't want to go to the Ma family for the banquet in the next two days, especially the two young guests from the Qi Mansion. They were anxious to leave the day after tomorrow, and they might have taken this into consideration.

There are too many people invited.

Yesterday, not only Mr. Zhou's family, but also the Zhao family kept asking them to take time to visit their homes. They were so scared that they didn't even want to go into the city for a stroll today.

But as the Zhao family’s invitation was so cordial, she certainly couldn’t tell her mother-in-law directly that to the third son of the Zhou family and the two young guests from the Qi family, their relationship with the Ma family was distant.

If we don’t look at the past two days, including the midwife’s daughter, the three girls have never stepped out of her house, so how could they attend the banquet at the Ma family? What should I do?
All they can say is that they had agreed to go to Zhou's house tomorrow before they set off the day after tomorrow. Even though they were going to have a barbecue this afternoon, they really couldn't go.

It’s not that Doctor Lin and his companions dislike the simple food and drink, it’s just such a coincidence that the steward who came to pick them up to return home has already arrived in the county town today.

When Zhou Molan came in, she heard Aunt Ma talking about something in the evening. She didn't listen carefully, as she knew that it would be either tonight or tomorrow night.

After finally dealing with Ma Qinshi at Liu's place and promising her to go find Doctor Lin to see if he could spare some time to come to the Ma family's house tonight, Mai Huang arrived.

Her girl is looking for her?

Why go and see Doctor Lin?

"Slow down, Aunt Lan, please walk slowly. The young lady is fine. Before I came out, she was still in the study, and Maidong was guarding her.

This morning, the son-in-law came back from the outer courtyard and had breakfast with the girl. They talked and laughed and went into the study together. It was not until Zhiming came to find him that the son-in-law went to the outer courtyard.

When I entered the study, I heard the girl say that she didn’t go back to her room because she knew that the Third Young Master and his men were leaving the day after tomorrow, and she wanted to talk to you…”

Zhou Molan felt relieved after hearing this. She walked and waited for the chatterbox Mai Huang to finish speaking before she said, "There is nothing trivial around the master."

"Yes, I dare not be careless."

West Road Courtyard.

Along the way, Zhou Molan paid careful attention to the rules of the maids and servants. Seeing that they were all right, she still knocked on the door when she stepped into the main courtyard of the west wing.

Everyone was extremely afraid of Aunt Lan. As soon as Aunt Lan arrived, the courtyard suddenly became as quiet as late night. Zhou Banxia was secretly delighted.

It was a pity that just when she was about to step out of the study to greet Aunt Lan, she forgot that there was a Maidong beside her that didn't need to be knocked, and she wished she could wrap her up with a quilt so that she could see the wind.

"Your daughter is still in confinement after childbirth, why are you so nervous?" Zhou Banxia reached out and slapped Mai Dong on the head, "Why don't you go and ask Aunt Lan to come in!"

Maidong smiled foolishly and nodded quickly.

"Go ahead." Really, are you afraid that she will slip away in such a short time? Zhou Banxia laughed and shook her head, pointing to the Luohan chair behind her, "Go quickly."

Maidong felt relieved after seeing this. He bowed with his knees bent, took two steps back, turned around and gave a look to the maid waiting outside the door.

What a silly girl.

If she wanted to go out, could the little maid stop her? Zhou Banxia secretly thought to herself as she walked to the desk and picked up the paper with the route map drawn on it.

A moment.

The voices of Zhou Molan and Maidong came from far away and reached Zhou Banxia's ears.

Zhou Banxia silently counted one, two, three... Suddenly, she rolled her eyes, turned toward the window, and said mischievously, "Ha, it's so hot!"

Zhou Molan was about to walk past the window to the door of the west ear room. She was almost frightened and couldn't help laughing. "Don't open the window."

"I know. I knew you were back, but I didn't take a step outside. Aunt Lan, were you very busy this morning, or did you just come back from Hexi?"

Zhou Molan was not surprised at all how her daughter knew she had arrived, even though she had repeatedly told her not to disturb the girl, but her daughter was extremely intelligent.
