Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 710: The Second Day of the Lunar New Year
After the second day of the first lunar month, most of the month passed quickly in visiting relatives and friends, eating and drinking, and in the blink of an eye it was the sixteenth day, when the county school opened.

During this period, a letter came from Zhoujia Village. Although the letter did not mention that Zhou Huan was no longer in Zhoujia Village, arrangements were made for Zhou Yujiang.

Before Zhou Banxia gives birth, let Zhou Yujiang and Qi Wenhui complete the small engagement, and then wait until spring comes to see if Zhou Yujiang wants to reunite with Zhou Yanfeng to study.

It was very simple to complete the small engagement based on the instructions in the letter. First, the man and woman had already exchanged tokens of love. Second, Mrs. Zhou, the man's aunt, could return to Beijing to take care of things.

All in all, the Qi family was very sincere about this marriage, and it was not necessary for Zhou Changshun and his wife to bring their son to the capital to propose marriage before Zhou Banxia gave birth.

It was also for this reason that Zhou Banxia didn't want to let Qi Wenhui down, so the couple discussed with their parents and Zhou Yujiang and quickly made a decision.

After Doctor Lin and Midwife Chen took Zhou Banxia's pulse and checked the fetus, they determined that the earliest due date would be early March, so the team going to the capital to place the order was expanded.

Not to mention the housekeeper and guards, besides Zhou Changshun and his wife and Zhou Yujiang who had to go, there were also Zhou Changping and his wife and Gu Erzhu and his wife.

Of course, Gu Erzhu and Liu must have been invited by Zhou Sishun and Li to go together. In Li's words, she was afraid that Liu had to accompany her.

As for Gu Erzhu?
Zhou Sishun didn't say much. He just asked if his good relative-in-law was his brother. At this critical moment, his elder brother Zhou Huan was not at home. If he didn't accompany him, who would?

Although Zhou Changping is now a scholar, he cannot be compared with Gu Erzhu in terms of intelligence, eloquence, posture and other on-the-spot reactions.

In this regard, not only did Zhou Changping admit to being inferior, he also insisted on dragging Gu Erzhu along, and even Zhou Xiucai personally invited Gu Erzhu to accompany his nephew and son on the trip.

Gu Erzhu couldn't refuse the kind offer, and considering that his eldest son and his young wife privately wanted him to take this opportunity to buy a property in Beijing, he gladly accepted.

So, on the 16th, when the county school opened, not only did Gu Wenxuan take a leave, but Zhou Yujiang also took a month's vacation, planning to return to the village in mid-February.

The eighteenth day of the first lunar month.

The team led by Chang Qing, the chief steward of the Gu family, set out early in the morning at an auspicious time. Gu Wenxuan also personally sent them to the south gate of the county town to meet up with the escort agency.

Although the purpose of the team's trip was not made public, except for a limited number of people from the Zhou and Gu families who knew about it, it was not concealed from the escort agency's chief, Uncle Yun.

As soon as Gu Wenxuan arrived at the meeting point outside the south of the city, he saw from afar Uncle Yun, who had almost retreated to the second line and no longer escorted the caravan in recent years, coming out in person.

Quite righteous.

With the other party's escort, safety is not a problem. Moreover, this is the capital area, and passing through Zhoujia Village, there are guards who escort Madam Zhou to the capital.

After seeing off the huge convoy with almost no pedestrians, Gu Wenxuan returned to Yu Garden and saw Zhou Banxia to report the news. Zhou Banxia immediately felt much more at ease.

Although some of Xiao Ding's gifts still need to be purchased in Beijing, the convoy took away a lot of things this time. With the old hands involved, the safety index will definitely soar.

With this old man and Chang Qing around, even if they go to the capital, no matter whether it is divided into the outer city or the inner city, it will be much easier for her father and her father-in-law to act.

It would be hard for her aunt to travel with so many people who had never been to the capital, but with her second and third brothers accompanying her, it didn't seem like a big problem.

"You're overthinking. We don't have to go to the inner city, we can go to the outskirts of Beijing. Even if your sister-in-law's family, the Kong Mansion, and Madam Gao don't send anyone to meet you, Uncle Qi will make arrangements. Besides, we have a house for your dowry in Beijing. Not to mention Gu Dali going there, there's also Uncle Chang Qing. He can take everyone there without knowing where.

Besides, your elder brother will definitely go to the outskirts of Beijing to wait for you no matter how busy he is. Relax, there will be no problems, otherwise how can I not go with you?"

Seeing Gu Wenxuan's relaxed expression and saying something without waiting for her to deny it, Zhou Banxia nodded with a smile, "That's true. I'm just too concerned."

Anyway, the reason why you don't want to make the trip is not because you don't trust the estimated delivery date drawn by Dr. Lin after taking your pulse and midwife Chen after feeling the fetal position.

After all, you are the kind of person who trusts others in everything and always leaves room for yourself, so the due date in early March should be more accurate.

Doctor Lin and Midwife Chen would never joke about this. After all, if we count from the last menstrual period, it would actually be around the middle of the month.

This was because they had already reserved about a week of preparation time in advance. Unless she accidentally fell during the next period...

"Pooh!"

Zhou Banxia was startled and couldn't help laughing. It turned out that she said it accidentally while thinking about it! But your "Pooh" sound really affects your image!
What's your image? Gu Wenxuan smiled with fear, "You are just a fool, and fools have good fortune!"

"Yes, I am a famous lucky star in this life. It is recognized that even now, anyone who asks me to play mahjong is giving me money. I am very lucky.

I wonder if I can still bet on the odds in August. If I can, how much should I bet by then? Too little seems unreasonable. "

Gu Wenxuan counted her fingers and said with a smile, "You have to go there in person. Can you calculate how many months old my daughter was at that time?"

"March, April... August!" Zhou Banxia calculated seriously, "It seems your wife has been snatched away by your daughter, so she can't accompany you to take the exam."

Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but scratch her nose and said, "Do you believe that if you don't go out with me by then, even my brother will be worried that I won't be able to stick to your good luck, and Jie Yuanyi will definitely run away?"

“This——” Zhou Banxia had a toothache, “You got first place based on your real ability.”

"Wrong, there is still the concept of luck." As he said that, Gu Wenxuan pulled Zhou Banxia up with both hands, allowing her to sit on the edge of the kang and then half lie on it.

As the pregnancy progressed, his wife didn't need to say it explicitly because she knew that sitting for a long time with a big belly was definitely more tiring than standing, and it was more comfortable to lie down half-way.

"I remember that ever since I met you when I was young, my luck suddenly improved. Everything I did went smoothly. Basically, I could do whatever I wanted.

Just like that year when I went to play the game, I think it was in the second year of junior high school. I'm not kidding you. I was supposed to sit in the car in front, but because you were a step slower and had to sit in the car behind, I changed seats.

You already know what happened afterwards without me having to tell you. Isn't it strange that the car in front had an accident half an hour after it drove out, and you still say that I was lucky.

Also, that afternoon, you said you didn’t know what was going on and you felt panicky. In fact, maybe you had a premonition that an earthquake was coming, and it was my carelessness—"

"stop!"
