Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 719 The worst plan

Thinking of using these words to make Gu Dachang give in would be too much of an underestimation of her and his wife's position as second butler. If Gu Dachang wasn't really capable, could he have become second butler?
The couple's housekeeper was from Gu Dachang's family, and Jiaxing was Xuanzi's servant. She had no reason to worry that even if Gu Dahua would one day take over Uncle Changqing's position as the head housekeeper, it would still be too much power for Gu Dachang.

Only this person is available and can be used. He managed the workshop in perfect order last year. How can such a person be led by an old man like you?
Let alone a mere old man, even her father-in-law, the legitimate master, Gu Dachang would never betray her and her husband, especially her as his master.

"Uncle Chang smiled and said that the old master praised him too much. He was a servant and was loyal to his master. It was not his place to have any say in the master's family affairs."

Zhou Banxia knew that Gu Dachang would say this, but she didn't know whether the old man understood the implication of Gu Dachang's words. He almost said that you, an old man, are not the master!

"Then Uncle Chang talked about the eldest master of my father-in-law (Zhou Huan), who had been writing to me since the beginning of winter last year, asking my second wife not to disturb my second master from studying with her housework.

Speaking of how hard the Second Master works every day, I understood from Uncle Chang's words that the old man and the others can no longer help the Second Master, so don't even think about disturbing him.

It's Second Grandma's case. Our family is not without rules. Second Grandma is the granddaughter-in-law and niece-in-law, not to mention that Second Master is not at home today.

Uncle Chang also talked about the rules of a respectable family. Even if the Second Madam was not seriously ill and had finally rested today, he would not have informed the inner courtyard to invite her to the outer courtyard.

Uncle Chang said that even though he was a servant, he knew what to avoid and should evade. He praised the master as a scholar who knew etiquette best, and asked the old master to forgive him for any negligence he had shown.

The eldest master remained silent when Uncle Chang praised him, but when Uncle Chang apologized to the old man, he could no longer sit still. "

While reporting back, Mai Huang tried his best to show that Gu Yangwen's face was flushed, then dark gray, then pale blue, and then red to purple.

Unfortunately, she could only make her face flushed, probably red, but she didn’t know if it turned purple, “Without waiting for the old man to speak.

The eldest master let out a long sigh and then said that since the second master was not at home, he would come back in two days.

You are such a clever little performer! Zhou Banxia secretly complained, glanced at Mai Huang, then glanced at Gu Wenxuan, signaling Mai Huang to stop making trouble.

Mai Huang shrank his neck and quickly retracted his facial expression, but he didn't dare to say anything more: "When the old man saw the eldest master get up, he also got up.

At that time, Uncle Chang was escorting them out of the side hall while asking someone to prepare a carriage. The old man seemed to be annoyed all of a sudden and said that he was not lucky enough to ride in a carriage.

At this time, Zhiming suddenly appeared from nowhere and immediately told Uncle Chang that the carriage that left the house to pick up the master in the town had not returned yet, so would a mule carriage be okay?

What an evil slave!
Zhou Banxia covered her face.

Gu Wenxuan laughed.

Still laughing?

It’s unfair. I just let Zhiming perform on the spot, but I didn’t let Zhiming do this. But Zhiming was wrong?

We only had this one carriage left, as the rest had all gone to the capital. There was no need to look for a carriage anywhere at the last minute, and it was very difficult to get a mule cart to send them back.

This mule cart was reserved in case the workshop needed to carry goods, not for sending people back. Doesn't it mean our mule is not working hard?

After Mai Huang left, Gu Wenxuan started to quibble with a shameless face. Anyway, he refused to admit that he was the one who "gave instructions in person" in front of Zhi Ming.

Gu Dachang was right about one thing. Zhou Banxia had given up all the matters that could be handled by the maids and servants, and she had recently been preparing for a normal birth. At the same time, as her parents and parents-in-law were away, she also made the worst-case scenario in her mind and began to prepare for the child left behind in case of a difficult birth.

She didn't know what choice Gu Wenxuan would make if she unfortunately passed away, but since she had brought the child into this world and she couldn't raise him personally, she had to give the child some extra chips in advance.

People's hearts are unpredictable.

She didn't know whether those who loved her would vent their anger on her children after she passed away, and she didn't know how much of the love they felt was more important than money.

While Gu Wenxuan had to go to the study to review every day, Zhou Banxia took her two old books and secretly led Mai Huang and Mai Qing to do the sugar-making experiment.

With this "open place" as a foreshadowing, once she, or even Gu Wenxuan, vents his anger on the child, Mai Huang and Mai Xiang can find Zhou Molan to formally entrust the child to.

Even if the uncle is not in a good position among the descendants of the Gu family who have biological grandparents and a father, he can take the child away to raise him, and the child's life will not be in danger in the short term.

When the child grows up, even if she can't protect the current family wealth, she believes that with these "secret recipes" in the Zhou Mansion and the death of her uncle due to old age, the child's five uncles will ensure that the child will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Even if the five uncles each married and had children, and their love for their children faded, when things and people changed one day, there would always be the father's family, the Gu family, to restrain the uncle's family.

Mai Huang had never known why her daughter bought up beets last year and hoarded a lot of them and didn't let anyone use them. Now she seemed to understand a little.

Looking at the vegetable juice that was extracted with a stone mill, filtered, clarified, and now cooked in the pot, she thoughtfully added some firewood into the stove and ran to the door.

She asked the maid who was guarding outside to make sure no one got close to the spare "kitchen" in the backyard, and she hurried in to continue watching the fire.

Zhou Banxia thought that this was not the case, but he still turned a blind eye and let them "do as they please", and continued to let Mai Xiang stir the vegetable juice without stopping.

Mai Xiang would be happy as long as her daughter didn't do anything and let her stir it continuously for ten days or half a month. She quickly responded and asked Zhou Banxia to sit down and relax.

"It doesn't matter. It's easier for me to give birth standing up than sitting down."

Zhou Banxia held her big belly and focused on the pot of vegetable juice while speaking. Only then did she realize that she had said this several times today.

It wasn't an illusion. She herself found that she was becoming more and more talkative. Fortunately, the vegetable juice in the nest had started to boil, and the smell was very familiar.

Although a lot of time wasted in this experiment in the three processes of juicing, filtering and clarifying, there is no doubt that this familiarity is very close to half the success.

After two more "tries", the process of boiling and concentrating the wine would almost succeed even if she didn't mess up, with her golden tongue that was extremely sensitive to the aroma of malt.

Even if there are still some flaws, it's no big deal. If it is successfully boiled, it won't become mushy. There are still several more steps to make it into sugar cubes, and it's still a long way to go before it becomes white sugar.

Take it slow, step by step. Until you successfully make brown sugar blocks and white sugar, you still need to further modify the tools and go through multiple experiments to improve them.

It's not even February yet, and there are still two months before the due date. Wouldn't a month be enough time for her to plan and work out the sugar-making recipe first, and then have some extra time?

This November has been weird. Things happened one after another. I just came back from a trip out of town and I have to go to the hospital again. I have to take another week off. I am deeply sorry. I am sorry to everyone. I love your braised tofu and leave a message.
