In the stove room, two iron pots, one large and one small, are on the same page, and they have to cook the car noodles, and they are hot wine to prepare for the snacks, and the three of the Liu family are in full swing.

As soon as Zhou Banxia entered, she heard Liu shout to Xiaobaoya to get up and let her sit in front of the stove to warm up, and she "sneaked" to look at Ma Shan.

"Why, I'm afraid I'll eat it. Baoya, don't get up, take a look at our mother's eccentric eyes-" Before the words were finished, Ma Shan couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Changsuo saw that everyone was laughing, he also giggled, and the little meat he was chewing in his mouth fell off, and he was so shocked that he hurriedly covered his mouth, causing another burst of laughter.

Liu didn't expect the youngest son and daughter-in-law to come back tonight, so that the noodles hadn't been cooked yet, and when she saw the little daughter-in-law carrying a burden and putting it on the table to untie it, she didn't care about saying much, and the eldest daughter-in-law took the handle to cook the noodles, so she took a tray that already contained the appetizers and walked out.

"Mother, I'll come."

"No, just this idea, you help your sister-in-law light the fire first, and your mother will come when she goes." At first, she watched it, and it sounded that one of them was known by the child's father, but in the end, it was either the child's uncle and uncle, or the child's father and grandfather were there, and it was naturally better for the two daughters-in-law not to fall behind.

Zhou Banxia said yes in response, and quickly lifted the cotton curtain of the stove room, and saw that Gu Erzhu and Gu Wenxuan, father and son, had not succeeded in letting the two coachmen into the hall.

I can't keep it.

said that the family must have learned that they arrived today, it was too late, the family was worried, and it was even more difficult to hurry when it was late.

Gu Wenxuan had no choice but to wait for them to leave in the car, and mentioned that there were two small bags in the carriage for the two of them, lest they still think that the two of them had left a big bag of things that were covered by those old quilts and didn't pay attention, and they sent them back to make a misunderstanding.

It is said that this trip is thanks to the care of the Zhao family, and the food, drink and accommodation along the way are quite well prepared, and even the coachman has found a person from Zhaojia Village, and a person from a neighboring village to send him back to the village.

"Is it Zhao Laosan?"

Gu Erzhu guessed halfway, it was indeed not arranged by Zhao Laoer, but this arrangement was indispensable to the command of the housekeeper sent by Zhao's third daughter-in-law.

"Zhao Laosan is not in Fucheng." Seeing the two carriages leave, Gu Wenxuan followed his father back to the back door and explained softly, "Before I came back, Zhao Laosan's family gave me a post, we found an excuse not to give the post back, and she politely booked a table and sent it."

On the day I came back, I also asked a housekeeper lady to accompany me, that is, when I went to the county seat today, the housekeeper lady and Steward Zhao also wanted me to go to Zhao's house with them for one night.

Look at what they mean, if I want to guess wrong, not only Zhao Laoer, but even Zhao Laosan wants to treat our two families as a good family, and it's time to give New Year's gifts in the past two days. ”

Gu Erzhu understood.

The third member of his family was estimated to be very favored by the old lady of Gaofu before, and Zhao Laosan inquired. Also, "The governor of the Gao Mansion has been transferred to the capital for promotion?" ”

Not counted liters.

The governor is from the second grade, and the left servant of the official department is from the third grade, but the eldest man of the Gao Mansion is counted as a fictitious rank, or from the second grade.

It's flat, but it's more powerful.

used to be the governor of a province in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Ministry of Officials is the official office in charge of officials in the world, and he is now equivalent to the second in the Ministry of Officials.

The boss of the Ministry of Officials is old, and there are no women in the palace in the Gao Mansion, nor women in the backyard of the prince.

"Then Boss Zhao, is that Zhengwupin under the control of this old man?"

His father has a really good memory, and he mentioned that Boss Zhao is the fifth product of the Ministry of Industry two days before he went out. Gu Wenxuan nodded, "So to speak." ”

"I'm really eyeing Sanya." Gu Erzhu's head was flying, "'The prime minister's front of the three officials', no wonder Sanya has been studying for his two younger brothers early." ”

His father knows a lot.

"Well, don't show your mouth. Even if anyone in the Zhao family can't keep their mouths open, we can't admit it.

As for the favor owed by the Zhao family, Boss Zhao is an official again, and he didn't owe his father a favor earlier, so he should be the friendship between his father and the Zhao family's brothers. ”

Yes?

Gu Wenxuan was surprised.

It seems that not only did you give Zhao Lao Er two white-flour steamed buns, but also helped Zhao Laodi? What else did his father do, and why did anyone owe favors everywhere?

Just like the coachman just now, when he praised him, he didn't forget to mention that thanks to his father's help back then, good people have good rewards.

"Originally, I wanted to keep this favor, and I would find a hand with the Zhao family when I had to do it one day. Now, Dad Ming'er and your mother came to visit Zhao Lao and Er, and they confirmed this friendship.

About Sanya, it's still the same statement to the outside world. Sanya was a maid who served the old lady of a rich and noble family before, and she didn't have any credit for protecting the lord, and yes, she was also an outsider. ”

Gu Wenxuan nodded hurriedly.

"Silly boy!" Gu Erzhu patted his son's head, "It's really a stupid person who has a stupid fortune, and I know that it's not too stupid to pass by your father-in-law's house when I come back."

If your two brothers-in-law confess, you don't have to be a person, you are a talent in the light, do you believe that Sanya has a way to stuff her brother into the yamen as a petty official? ”

No!

Why is it not him, but he has to be optimistic about his two brothers-in-law? Gu Wenxuan felt the need to remind, "This time it's not only Gaofu, but even Aunt Mei's owner has returned the favor." ”

"It's the same lady who is a cousin of Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law." Gu Erzhu said that he had not forgotten this matter, "It's not surprising, looking at the New Year's gift prepared by Sanya before, the bear's paw alone has alarmed your Uncle Ma, and my father thought to himself that you and her have people to visit in Fucheng——"

"Dad, mother, I'm back."

"Yo, your brother is back," was interrupted by his eldest son in the middle of the conversation, and Gu Erzhu immediately shouted, "I heard it, your brother and I are right behind." ”

Horse?

Bought a horse?

Gu Wenxuan was about to borrow Mrs. Qian to return the gift, and when he mentioned that he had brought back a lot of books this time, he saw Gu Erlang coming back in a carriage, and his attention was also diverted.

"Brother, I'm back, come in."

"No wonder there is a carriage out of the village, I said whose guest is coming back so late, co-author is you back. What about siblings? ”

"Up ahead."

"No, I'll do it myself." Gu Erlang hurriedly motioned for his younger brother to pull his father aside, "Why don't you and your father stay in the back and not enter the house, isn't it cold?" ”

"I guess you're almost back, and your brother will be waiting for you here." Gu Erzhu, who was let aside by his two sons and was idle, shook his head happily.

Seeing that the two sons drove the carriage into the cowshed to carry things, he just didn't mention that the old son muttered with him as soon as he entered the house, and he was secretly happy.

"Yes, I don't need to ask you if you've been wronged outside." Gu Erlang looked at his happy father amusedly, "Let's go, it's cold outside." ”
