Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

If Zhou Banxia hadn't said it, Gu Wenxuan would not have known that he was as magnanimous as his second grandfather's eldest daughter-in-law, and the remaining aunts actually had opinions about the eldest sister-in-law.

You have to know that his great-grandfather had a son and three wives, and only the eldest daughter-in-law of his grandfather's family was not decent, while the other two daughters-in-law were impeccable in their behavior.

Putting aside the fact that his great grandfather's eldest daughter-in-law and Wen Yu's mother were chosen based on the standards of clan wives, his second grandfather's eldest daughter-in-law was a girl from the Zhou family in the same village.

Ever since he could remember, this lady had been very polite to her own sisters-in-law because of the intertwined marriage relationship between the Zhou and Gu families. She was also very polite to the sisters-in-law from other families.

For example, if the wife and children of someone in the village come to the city, they just have to go to the inn. Even if they don't have the best food and fish to treat them, at least they can return to the village with a full stomach.

What's more, if you stay overnight, she usually won't charge you any coins. If you are particular and insist on paying for accommodation, she will also give you a cake or something.

All in all, the inn almost became Qinghe Village's place of residence in the county town, not to mention that when her second wife's brothers-in-law and their families came to the city, it was impossible not to entertain them well.

For this reason, after his second grandfather divided the property among his sons and handed the inn over to his eldest son and his wife to run, he forbade the remaining daughters-in-law to bring their children to live in the inn for no reason.

But even so, the boundary of "nothing to do" is too broad. Over the years, the second, third, fourth and other branches of the eldest wife's family are still keen on going to the city to discuss even the smallest matters with the eldest brother and his wife.

Moreover, every time they take their children there, they don't stay in the inn, but in the backyard separated from the inn by a wall, and they stay there for at least one night.

This was also the reason why his father and his father-in-law would never stay in an inn when they came to the city for no reason. No family running an inn could afford to be extorted every now and then.

He was so kind, but people actually said privately that she and her husband were having a lot of free time in the city and not taking care of their parents-in-law. It was really unfair.

"People's hearts are lacking."

“The most important thing is probably that compared with their daughters-in-law, the daughters-in-law my aunt found had good dowries and the other was filial and obedient.

Take Brother Can’s wife, who just got married, for example. She refused to move into the dowry house in the city and instead lived happily in the village.

What's more, she is the niece of Aunt Zhao Er. This condition is too attractive. This is the Zhao family. In the eyes of those people, it would be a great honor to marry into the Zhao family.

So my aunt made them jealous. They were obviously the same daughter-in-law of my second grandfather, and the same children and grandchildren of my second grandfather. Why did all the good daughters-in-law go to her family?"

Gu Wenxuan's mouth twitched. "According to what you said, isn't our mother more enviable? But why don't Xiao Tian and Third Aunt dare to provoke our mother now?"

What a good question! Zhou Banxia couldn't help but pursed her lips, "Why don't you just say it directly if I want you to praise you?" "That's because mother has two good sons!

Especially you, you are already a third-rate scholar. Even if they are ignorant, they still have Lord Zhao to think about. No matter how jealous they are, how dare they offend you!
Don’t be fooled by the fact that they all think that I have a large dowry and can make money. They seem to be afraid of me and want to please me. In fact, you are behind me!
Offending me and my mother is a small matter, it's an internal conflict, right? But if they offend you, oh my god, they want to distract the family's glory and hope?
Oh, these sinful women of my Gu family, the old men in the clan can beat our old man flat, let alone these women, um, right? "

Gu Wenxuan was so delighted that he almost couldn't help laughing out loud, "Wrong, you underestimate yourself too much. Xiaotian and the others are afraid that you won't live in the village anymore and will move away.

"We are still living in the village. Even if you have a little money, it will be enough for them to have food and clothing. If you make our mother angry, we will move away and not look for you, a little fool!"

"..." Zhou Banxia stretched out her hand and tried to pinch him. "I'm Little Fool, what are you? If you don't explain clearly, you'll get itchy. Tell me, what are you?"

"Big fool, isn't this a perfect match?" Gu Wenxuan laughed as he grabbed her hand. What about the second line?
fool!

Standing up with the help of Gu Wenxuan, Zhou Banxia glanced at him with amusement, "I think we can plant more chestnut trees on the mountain.

Whether it is the back mountain here or on the Hexi side, or the back mountain of the newly acquired manor, except for the manor with tea trees, it would be better to plant more chestnuts.

First, like planting chestnuts on the back mountain here, chestnut trees have strong wind resistance and soil-fixing properties, which can effectively prevent soil erosion without affecting the growth of medicinal materials.

Secondly, the growth cycle is long and can provide long-term and stable returns. Chestnuts can not only fill the stomach, but also be used in cooking and making pastries.

The most important thing is that there is no need to improve the chestnut variety through technology. The chestnut tree is highly resistant to diseases and insect pests, and does not require too much manpower to take care of it. "

Gu Wenxuan laughed dumbly when he heard this. I was worried about you, but I just wanted to plant more chestnuts. "Don't worry, since I promised you, I must have given the order."

"What about the land where you plan to build the paper mill?"

"Watch the road, be careful of the door frame." Gu Wenxuan reminded her, and then glanced at the ground ahead to see if there were any small objects or other obstacles. He retracted his gaze and held her hand tightly, "This is not a big problem. The paper mill can be moved to the west of the river. You can plant flowers and grass here later if you want."

"We are also going to expand the pig pens on the west side of the river. Aside from the good farmland and some of the lower fields that are going to be used to grow sweet potatoes, all the wasteland is going to be planted with alfalfa. There is also vacant land to build a paper mill?"

"Of course there is. Since you want it, if I don't have it, I can make it appear." After saying that, Gu Wenxuan didn't bother to say more and hurriedly supported his wife and walked towards the bathroom.

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

Compared to this big belly, those are just trivial matters. "If you are still worried, how about I take you there to choose a piece of land after you give birth?"

It doesn't matter. She still has to stay in confinement after giving birth. It would be strange if she was allowed to go out during that period. After she's out of confinement, even if she doesn't do a double confinement period, it will be the early spring farming and planting season.

Zhou Banxia thought for a moment, "There seems to be no wasteland near the river there. If the paper mill is moved there, do we need to dig new ditches?"

"Anyway, we'll expand the water diversion when the weather gets warmer, so the impact won't be big. But do you want to release the water now?" Gu Wenxuan said with a smile, raising his chin forward.

"You're asking even though you already know the answer, aren't you?" Zhou Banxia tilted her head and glared at him in reproach. "Am I really useless now? I can't even take care of myself—"

"Bah, can you speak?"

"Hahaha……"

"Still laughing?"

"You are impatient, you gave me a look~"

"Silly, it's not like you to be unreasonable, and it's even less like you to act like a spoiled child."

"Wait, I just, not just now, I wanted to say something to you before, but I suddenly forgot it. What serious matter was I going to talk to you about?" (End of this chapter)
