Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Gaofu is a huge house, covering a large area, with pavilions, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings. Although it is not extremely luxurious, it is full of exquisiteness.

When the carriage arrived at Gaofu, Zhou Banxia originally wanted to enter through a corner door in his memory, but he never thought that there was a concierge guarding the side door.

I have been away from the house for almost three months, and the rules have not changed much.

When guests come to the house, the steward will still lead the boy to guide the male guests to the front yard, while the female guests will be accompanied by the nanny and the maid into the inner courtyard.

Hearing that the fifth young master was already in the front yard, Gu Wenxuan separated from Zhou Banxia despite dozens of pairs of curious eyes, and led the way to meet the fifth young master of the Gaofu family.

Everything was as his wife guessed. Although the invitation was sent by Mrs. Gao San, it was impossible for Mr. Gao San to entertain him in person.

Sure enough, it was the eldest son of the senior high school wife who came forward, but the treatment was not low.

Although the third master Gao is the concubine of Mrs. Gao, the fifth young master is the eldest son of the third master Gao. I just don't know what the purpose of waiting for him is because he doesn't go to school.

It's impossible for someone to come up and covet his wife with all the heart and courage, and wait unwillingly to see what kind of husband his wife has found.

Zhou Banxia didn't know that someone had upset the jealousy again, otherwise he would have died laughing.

The little girl is hiding in the old lady's study and never leaves the house. I guess the fifth young master doesn't even know whether she is flat or round, so he still covets her?

When the strict rules of the high house are just for show, no one dares to think of the lucky star next to the old lady as a concubine or a grandson born from a concubine.

In such a large mansion, there is no courtyard where there is less blood.

"Miss Banxia/Sister Banxia."

When they arrived at the courtyard of Mrs. Gao San, there were maids and ladies who greeted her with salutes. Zhou Banxia maintained Xiao Banxia's usual attitude and returned the gifts with a smile.

After all, it was different. Even though the old lady and the eldest lady had left, the popularity of the third lady in charge of the middle school suddenly increased.

"It counts."

There was a little maid opening the curtain. When Zhou Banxia stepped into the Nuan Pavilion, he first heard the third lady's words, and then there were several kinds of laughter. From the screen blocking the way, it was vaguely visible that there were many people sitting inside.

"I'm just saying that the old lady is not in the house. If you don't send out the invitation, this silly girl will definitely be afraid of causing trouble to you and won't want to go back to the house. Come in quickly and let us take a good look at the bride."

This voice called her a silly girl?
  When did the fifth lady return to the house? It was not because she took office with the fifth master.

Zhou Banxia was surprised. When he walked around the screen, he saw that there were many people.

In addition to the third lady and the two ladies from the third lady, not to mention the fifth lady, there were actually several wives and young ladies from the side branch who were also present.

"This child is worthy of being trained by the old lady." Mrs. Gaowu pulled Zhou Banxia to salute, "Sit here quickly. He's okay, his face is rosy."

Zhou Banxia didn't dare to sit at the top.

Even if you leave the house, it is not in line with etiquette.

She moved her embroidery back slightly and dealt with these seemingly harmless ladies of the house with a smile. When she encountered questions that were difficult to answer, she smiled shyly as before.

"... My sister-in-law said at that time that I would give the girl my winnings if I lost. Listen, my sister-in-law was afraid that this girl's dowry would be too small, so she supported this girl."

Mrs. Gaowu's mouth is even worse than her mother's. It happened that her mother meant what she said, so this person said things that went against her will with a straightforward face. After going back and forth for a few times, Zhou Banxia finally understood that even the Third Madam was afraid of being left out. She had just gotten married and was sending New Year's gifts. When the news reached the ears of the old lady, she felt unhappy.

Secondly, several ladies made bets in front of the old lady about which family she would find as husband after she left the house and returned to the village. The first lady won because she would find a scholar who had no common room with the scholar's family.

The most important thing is that the old lady had promised her not to give her a dowry, but she was further away from the capital. If she asked shopkeeper Wang to send her a New Year gift, she would need to inquire about the possibility of getting married.

According to the old lady's wishes, once she gets married in her hometown, she will most likely not let Shopkeeper Wang announce the good news before entering her husband's house.

"The old lady was right about Miss Banxia's character, and she even let her say that Miss Banxia is pure and kind. It's worthy of the fact that the old lady loves you like a treasure."

Listening to the compliments from one of the side branch ladies, Zhou Banxia's scalp went numb. She would not accept these words. "It's the master who promotes love."

"You are a good boy." Mrs. Senior High School clapped her palms and took Zhou Banxia's hand. "The old lady and sister-in-law wrote to you not long ago asking if you have been bullied by outsiders."

Zhou Banxia pursed her lips and smiled, "Thanks to the masters, Shopkeeper Wang is very attentive, and life is going well. I just miss the old lady."

"The old lady is also thinking about you. My sister-in-law wrote a letter saying that the old lady often forgets that you are not around. She only remembers you when she calls you. She is also worried that you will not get used to it at home."

"No, don't talk about the old lady. My sister-in-law also treats you as her legitimate daughter. Silly girl, a family like ours doesn't use power to bully others outside, but we can't be bullied either."

You fifth lady, you are really good at talking nonsense! Zhou Banxia avoided the topic of Madam Gao and took the initiative to ask Madam Gaowu when she would return to the house.

Unlike Zhou Banxia's awkward chat in the backyard, Gu Wenxuan was trying to find out in the front yard that Gao Wu didn't seem to be coveting his wife, and soon the two of them chatted very well.

Naturally, he also saw it.

It is impossible to say that a young master from a wealthy family does not have the arrogance to think he is superior to others, but whether he is a high five, or a high six or high nine who joined later, his cultivation is indeed good.

These three people are not brothers from the same father and mother, but the fifth and sixth graders are still cousins. However, the legitimate son and the concubine can protect each other intentionally or unintentionally through their words and deeds.

With such an atmosphere of getting along, it is no wonder that Mr. Gao and his younger brother were able to develop into the post of magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture. Even Mr. Gao Wu, who had the worst luck, was the magistrate of the same county.

"Thanks to the old lady."

Returning to the inn after lunch, Zhou Banxia rubbed her temples tiredly as she looked at the two boxes and cages that Mrs. Gao San said were 'given by the elders and cannot be dismissed'.

"It is said that in the early years when General Gao was still alive, all the sons born to the aunts, no matter how favored they were, were brought to the old lady's yard. After they were five years old, they were moved to the front yard for enlightenment, and when they were a little older, they went directly to the clan school. This is also The reason why the high five and high six students are still staying in Fucheng is that even if they get married, they won't be able to go to the capital until the day they pass the imperial examination. Unless they are favored by a great scholar like the first and third grade students, then an exception can be made."

"If you are not your legitimate son or grandson, can you make an exception?"

"No, the senior high school student is the legitimate son of the second master. The second master's literary talent is not inferior to that of the eldest master. The old lady did not suppress him. After spring, she even asked her mother-in-law to negotiate for the second master to marry the legitimate second daughter of the boss of the Ministry of Etiquette.

No, that great scholar is the uncle of the second wife. If nothing unexpected happens, the first and third graders are still the leaders of the next generation of the Gao family. "

Gu Wenxuan was convinced, "This method is a shrewd old lady."

"That's right! People are not in the mansion, and all of them are still cowardly. Even a maid like me, who left the mansion to get married, has benefited." Zhou Banxia shook his head happily.

"I'm afraid you'll snitch."

"I'm still suing him."
