Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 770: Sour to Death

Gu Wenxuan would never admit that he was jealous because he was not his wife's only childhood sweetheart. His wife was already pregnant with his baby, so there was no need to be jealous.

He was simply worried that the dishonest and sickly "cousin" might suddenly lose his mind and lose his good life, and come up to him and cause unnecessary trouble.

Not to mention that there is a Third Prince above the Ninth Prince who has the same father and mother. The Ninth Prince has absolutely no intention of usurping the throne, and he is not a real sickly person.

They are all the same, the sons and grandsons of the dragon. Even if his brothers with the same father and mother ascend the throne, what does it matter if he, as a younger brother, is conferred the title of iron-hat prince? He is still a head shorter than them.

Of course, there are also princes who have no intention of competing for the throne, but they are very rare. If they are not physically disabled and have already been deprived of the right of inheritance, they will accumulate strength to protect themselves even in order to avoid being caught up in the vortex.

As princes, none of them are honest people. An honest person cannot survive. Even though they have a "cousin" relationship with the Gao family, this relationship is still little known to people.

"Who cares?" Zhou Banxia shook his head. "Anyway, my father is timid and your father is smart. Once he arrived in the capital and lived in the Zhou Mansion, he bought a shop without hesitation.

In addition, it had been a long time since my uncle's family was cleared of their grievances and rehabilitated, and now the marriage proposal to the Qi family has come. Those smart people would not act rashly at this critical juncture.

The smarter the people, the more they think about it. Maybe they think that the only thing missing from this marriage is the emperor's direct marriage granting, and whoever is bold enough dares to show his claws first. "

No matter how mediocre the crown prince is, he has a large group of crown princes' gangs behind him. Now that the emperor is in good health, no matter how ambitious the prince is, he dares not come openly.

Besides, there's no need for her two fathers to go to the capital to find out what she is doing. If the Ninth Prince wants to inquire about her situation, wouldn't it be better for him to ask Madam Gao directly?

Zhou Banxia blinked at Gu Wenxuan. Seeing that he seemed to understand, she had something difficult to say, so she immediately raised her chin towards the desk.

Gu Wenxuan really understood what she meant this time, so she asked him to sort out the half-written document on the desk about the three newly acquired farms along the way.

These three farms are easy to deal with. For two of them, we only need to renovate the cellars and granaries, and the remaining farm, which is built on the mountain and has a tea garden, can be left alone for now.

Before the spring plowing, regardless of whether the dental broker can still find a farm along the way to Zhoujia Village, sending personnel to make adjustments can avoid wasting resources.

Gu Wenxuan, who was too lazy to use the brush, simply drew a few circles on the paper and marked a line of small words. After putting the brush down, he turned around and was not surprised that someone had not read the letter yet.

Since the group of people who went to the capital to get engaged left, there seemed to be only four or five letters brought back, but each letter often contained a thick stack of papers.

Inside this thick stack of papers, there are letters from different people folded into pieces. Some of the letters even describe in great detail what they eat.

I have to finish reading all of them, and I still have time to read the letters. Fortunately, except for the somewhat troublesome issue of the betrothal gift, everything else mentioned in the letters is very interesting.

Look, his wife was smiling happily while reading the letters, but in the end, she saw the letter that he had intentionally put at the bottom and frowned.

"By the way, my dear, I have asked Zhiming to deliver the letter your father and Uncle Changping wrote to your great grandfather."

Zhou Banxia was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded his head, "I know, Uncle Changping probably also mentioned that Uncle Qi wants to give all the betrothal gifts.

In addition, my father should have asked Dajiang to write the same thing as in this letter, to confirm whether Great Grandfather has announced to the clan that Dajiang is engaged. It may be that the previous letter has not been received yet, and my father is worried that we have ordered the wedding cakes and sent them out, so he wants to wait for them to come back to send the wedding cakes. "

Did your father mention wedding cakes? If he hadn't read the letter himself, Gu Wenxuan would have suspected that he had read a fake family letter, "Did you two exchange secret codes?"

Even though Zhou Banxia was worried that her aunt would not listen to her and would give extra generous money to help pay for her eldest brother's betrothal gift, she couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

What secret code is there?
It's just that I'm used to the implied meaning behind what my father says, and I also understand the meaning of the words used by Dajiang and Xiaohe when he wrote down what my father said.

Recovering his thoughts, Zhou Banxia shook one of the papers and said, "Have you seen this betrothal gift list? If I remember correctly, it's the same as my second and third brothers'.

Auntie even said that the secret code contained a gift from Master Qi to my father for the warm house in the inner city. My father asked Dajiang to mention it in the letter.

"Uncle Qi is a good father?"

"That's right!" Zhou Banxia almost couldn't help but snap his fingers and gave him an admiring look, "It was these few words that my father was reminding me.

Generally speaking, my father would not ask Dajiang to write that Uncle Qi is a good father for no apparent reason, unless someone did something that touched him.

Maybe it was not convenient to write this betrothal proposal in the letter, so Uncle Qi gave some money to Dajiang privately under the pretext of moving into the house to warm the house, but Huijie had to accept it.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

I know my father too well. If what my aunt hinted at was true, my father would definitely not accept the things from Master Qi on the betrothal gift list as housewarming gifts.

Unless Master Qi tells my father in private that he wants to secretly transfer these things to Sister Hui, my father will let Aunt put these things in the betrothal gift."

Gu Wenxuan nodded hurriedly, thinking that whatever you said was right, as long as you didn't misunderstand that your father was looked down upon and humiliated by Uncle Qi.

"As for Dajiang, he should not only report good news but also bad news. If the plan suddenly changed and he wanted to propose marriage all of a sudden, which would make my father feel wronged, he would not have written such detailed information."

At this point, Zhou Banxia quickly found one of the papers Zhou Yujiang had written, "Take a look, it contains the details of the proposal for marriage that day at the Qi residence.

This kid must know that we are worried about whether other people in the Qi Mansion think that our family is marrying up to them and are being disrespectful or something like that. "

"That's you. I'm not worried at all that other people in the Qi Mansion would be disrespectful. The wife of the Minister of Personnel, a lady of the highest rank, has come to act as a matchmaker, and the Qi Mansion is still not satisfied?"

"..." Zhou Banxia was silent for a moment, "I found myself speechless. You win!"

Gu Wenxuan laughed out loud and helped Zhou Banxia, ​​who had been standing for some time, to sit on her "throne", a chair that was obviously much higher than an ordinary armchair.

He moved a round stool and sat next to her, trying not to laugh as he explained, "About this matter, it's not that you can't argue with me, it's that you're too concerned. Who has the most power in the Qi Mansion now?
That's Uncle Master Qi. The Qi family itself had lost its title a long time ago. If Uncle Master Qi hadn't risen to prominence, they would have been squeezed out of the circle of powerful people in the capital long ago.

This is the reality. To put it nicely, it is a family of marquisates, but in fact, it is not as good as the Wang family behind Boss Zhao. No matter how powerful the Wang family is, how can they become important officials in the court without direct descendants? "
