Chapter 338 A lot of busy things
What did Sanlang's wife say?
Recently, Sanlang's daughter-in-law seems to have pointed out to Wulang's daughter-in-law that her mother-in-law doesn't like her family.
What's the fuss about?
It's not such a good way to start a family separation. Her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law had a falling out. How could she, a niece-in-law, seek help from her uncle and aunt?
Ms. Liu originally guessed that her eldest daughter-in-law might have heard something from her third sibling, Ms. Wang, but it was a little different from what she thought.
"Sister-in-law is about to give birth soon, right?" Zhou Banxia couldn't remember the exact month when Gu Sanlang's wife was pregnant with the baby. "Is it two months or three months old?"
"Almost two months."
Zhou Banxia silently calculated the other party's due date.
When we got into a fight in early November, we learned that we were expecting. Two months later, we were pregnant in September, and the due date was June. Hey, June? It’s July now!
"I'm about to give birth, almost at the end of this month."
Zhou Banxia was worried about how her new daughter-in-law could calculate the due date, so she couldn't directly ask why she hadn't given birth to a baby yet, so she heard Ma Shan give her the answer.
That means she is not pregnant in September. Since she has several younger brothers and sisters, the due date she calculated will definitely not be wrong.
It seems that when the elder man's wife and the third man's wife quarreled, the third man's wife was at a disadvantage because she couldn't even remember her little days, otherwise she would have been missing a month.
If she is less than two months pregnant and is tripped by the husband's wife, she can still lie down and rest for a few more days.
She probably didn't react at all at the time. Later, the more she thought about it, the angrier and more regretful she became, so the good little daughter-in-law turned evil.
During that period, the mother-in-law might not even be able to hold a bowl of water, but she treated the eldest daughter-in-law favorably and was harsh on the second daughter-in-law. As the second daughter-in-law, Sanlang's wife became angry.
Only then did she mention to her sister-in-law that her mother-in-law had gone home early, which was definitely the case...
"There is no need to worry. A little daughter-in-law like her who is expecting a baby at the end of the month has said that even if she has a stomachache today and is about to give birth, she will not be allowed to go near the ancestral hall."
Zhou Banxia was startled, then nodded immediately when he realized what he was doing.
It's a pity that it's hard to say that I'm not worried about this at all.
Not to mention the fact that the whole clan was in the ancestral hall before, if they really wanted to avoid any taboo customs, my mother-in-law would be the first to refuse.
"Sanlang's wife will not understand these customs." Mrs. Liu was not worried at all that her nephew's daughter-in-law, Sanlang's family, would get into trouble today, which was a little bit.
This niece-in-law may be really anxious to separate the family. If she acts too hastily, her two children will be implicated.
Looking at Ma Shan and Zhou Banxia, Liu reminded her sternly, "You know people but don't know their hearts. No matter what they say, just ignore them, lest you be wronged and stir up trouble one day -"
"She dares!" When Ma Shan said the words, she realized that she had not waited for her mother-in-law to finish speaking, and she smiled sarcastically, "Mom, don't worry about me, teach Sanya quickly."
"..." Mr. Liu laughed dumbly, thinking that you might as well worry about yourself. How could your younger siblings not know these superficial truths when they grow up looking at people's eyes.
But no matter how easy it is to say it out loud, let's just let the two sisters-in-law get along well on their own.
"Stop talking, why don't you get home quickly so you can eat and take a rest?"
Mrs. Liu said this to Zhou Banxia, who nodded knowingly, "I still have to wait at home for Brother Liulang to come back. The workshop is not in a hurry for a while."
Mrs. Liu secretly said, "There are a lot of things going on today. After the banquet, we have to discuss how to repair the ancestral hall. The earliest Liu Lang will come back is at least Shenshi."
Arrive home.
After lunch, Mrs. Liu felt more at ease when she saw her two daughters-in-law, especially the old daughter-in-law, who took her sister-in-law back to the west wing and did not come out for almost a quarter of an hour.
She originally thought that if the old daughter-in-law was not sleepy yet, she would have people move the gifts she received this morning to the small hall of the west wing and let the old daughter-in-law sort them out. She would naturally feel sleepy by then.
Now, let's put the congratulatory gifts first so as not to disturb the two sisters' enjoyment.
Zhou Banxia was ashamed. I don't know who coaxed whom, but accidentally, in broad daylight, her sister-in-law actually coaxed her to fall asleep while she was leaning against her, and she slept on the couch for more than an hour.
And what about her eight-year-old sister-in-law?
Awesome.
The little girl was holding a brush in her hand, sitting upright and copying the copybooks. There were several sheets of paper on which the little girl copied the copybooks hanging on the chair next to her.
"Not bad. You didn't sleep?"
"Yes." Gu Baoya looked up and smiled, "As usual, I woke up about an hour after going to bed. I didn't dare to go back to sleep when I woke up. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night."
Zhou Banxia gave her an approving look, went to the bathroom to wash her face and came back. Gu Wenxuan hadn't come back yet, so she simply pointed Gu Baoya to copy the copybook.
Most of the time, Xuanzi really didn't brag. His sister had a very good talent for learning, but unfortunately she was limited to reading and literacy. She just couldn't use an embroidery needle.
The most interesting thing is that you can’t see it at all at first.
After all, if you are patient and smart, Luozi will do well.
Then something strange happened.
But everything I embroidered was inexplicably messed up.
She almost thought that the little girl had some burden in her heart, such as teaching the apprentice to starve the master to death, and she did not dare to learn embroidery from her and was deliberately causing trouble.
It's a pity that it's not that it's not difficult to learn. Even if my fingers are pricked, I still haven't mastered the most basic skills of embroidery.
Fortunately, in calligraphy and painting, I am definitely very talented. In less than half a year, I can't say that my paintings are good, but my calligraphy has some shape.
With this talent, if he practices diligently for three to five years, Xuanzi might not be as good as his little sister in calligraphy and painting.
It’s girls. Girls in ancient times nowadays, no matter how good they are at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, they can’t do it if they’re not good at female celebrities.
In addition to being traditionally regarded as a tool for literati to cultivate their moral character, chess, calligraphy and painting also have an unsophisticated aspect.
Those talented girls in Chulou are good at it, and they judge the oiran based on it.
Therefore, unless the little girl never gets married in the future, she still needs to learn more or less how to be a female concubine.
At least you need to be able to make underwear. It doesn’t need to be exquisite, just passable.
Considering that it was basically impossible for Xiao Baoya to marry into an ordinary farmer's family in the future, Zhou Banxia simply continued to teach her sister-in-law how to copy copybooks and practice calligraphy more rationally.
As for the female celebrity, she can't teach her. If she really loses control of her temper and gives her sister-in-law a few slaps, it will be great fun.
Instead of causing trouble one day, it would be better to find a suitable time to hire a master to teach the sister-in-law. After all, there is no need to learn too much about female celebrities.
"Daughter-in-law?"
"Second brother is back, second sister-in-law." Gu Baoya covered her mouth and secretly laughed. Her second brother was the most interesting. The old wife and the old wife shouted without being shy.
"Daughter-in-law, please help me." Seeing that the window in the north room of the west wing was open, Gu Wenxuan took the thing from Zhiming's hand and walked quickly to the window to hand it over.
"Baoya, come quickly."
Is my little sister here?
Gu Wenxuan stretched out his head and couldn't help but be happy, "Oh, whose little girl is this? Why does she look so like my little sister?
Eyes like me, nose like me——"
"It's not dark yet."
"You said, your husband is unparalleled in the world."
