There is a kind of person who, once he gets serious about doing something, is quite a bit sleepy and forgets to eat and sleep. Once he starts writing, he cannot stop writing.
Zhou Banxia returned to the west wing, thought about it and chose to stay in the study.
Yes, she was saving money on candles, certainly not to keep company with nerds.
Letting Mai Huang go and rest early, Zhou Banxia quietly entered the west wing, glanced at Gu Wenxuan, who was buried in front of the case, and then turned to the side of the Kang table.
Then she quietly took off her embroidered shoes and got on the kang. She also looked at a roll of design drawings about the layout of Xinzhuangzi that Gu Wenxuan had specially pressed down with a paperweight.
Gu Wenxuan very carefully placed the first drawing after adding a few modifications, which was evident from Zhou Banxia's need to interrupt him to review the book.
Starting from the first one, she flipped through several drawings. She basically understood Gu Wenxuan's thoughts after modifying the drawings, and picked up the brush.
When Mai Huang carried the fruit plate from the kitchen and returned to the west wing, she discovered that her young lady was working as hard as her uncle.
Her young lady was writing and drawing, and she didn't even know she had entered the room. She put the fruit plate aside, but her young lady looked up, smiled, and got busy again.
Seeing that Zhou Banxia was not doing any physical work, Mai Huang remembered Zhou Molan's instructions and asked her daughter to write, and then reminded her daughter to take a rest when the time was up.
Zhou Banxia didn't know that Mai Huang wanted to play a trick on her tonight. Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't be surprised.
Not to mention that the little girl may be grateful that she valued her and her family so that they could have enough food and clothing, but her Aunt Lan treated her like a jewel, for fear that she would be wronged in her husband's family.
Without a certain level of loyalty to her, her Aunt Lan would never be able to be sent to her side during her pregnancy. Nothing was as important as her mood.
Prenatal education is not something that comes only in later generations. The aristocratic family's mood for the happy daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law is not much behind that of later generations. The research on whether it will affect the fetus is not far behind that of later generations.
The ancients believed that during pregnancy, mother and child are one, and the mother's psychological and physical conditions will directly affect the health of the fetus.
Therefore, to ensure the mother's emotional stability, pregnant women must have no distracting thoughts and a peaceful mind, and must be "moderately hungry and full."
Similar to later generations, they also believe that being too full will increase the burden on the stomach and compress the growth of the fetus, while being too hungry will cause malnutrition in the fetus.
In addition, she does not eat food with bad taste, that is, she does not eat taboo foods that are overly irritating, such as spicy, sour, bitter, spicy, etc. Now she can no longer eat chili peppers.
For example, "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions for Pregnancy" specifically mentions "living in a simple and quiet place". Since ancient times, pregnant women from aristocratic families have had musicians play music for them.
These should be the origins of the concept of prenatal education music in later generations. Now her Aunt Lan can't wait to train her a maid who is good at playing the piano.
If she hadn't insisted on not having a goblin around who could sing and dance, and promised that she would start picking up sheet music after the fetus was three months old, haha.
She was a farm girl, and she had been a maid. If she hadn't been self-aware, she would have been led astray by Aunt Lan, and she would have thought of herself as a girl from an aristocratic family.
The most valuable thing about people is self-awareness.
As Mrs. Qian said, her daughter's family is not afraid of stupidity or stupidity, but they are afraid of being too smart, having too much heart, reaching too far, and losing their original intention.
It's not that her uncle and aunt said she was the eldest lady of the Zhou family or a noble girl. In essence, she was Zhou Banxia who came from Shangougou.
Zhou Banxia rolled up two of the plans for the papermaking mill, tied them with red satin and put them aside to be sent to Gu Dachang for handling tomorrow.
Then, she spread out the planning map of Gujiazhuang Village, too lazy to use an abacus. Zhou Banxia began to calculate how to adopt Gu Wenxuan's suggestion. If it is difficult to build a tofu mill and an oil-pressing mill with blue brick tile houses at the entrance of the village, the approximate cost would be to use adobe tile houses.
Calculate an approximate cost, and then recalculate the approximate expenses required for the breeding farm located between Hexi and Xiangbei Village in Qinghe Village.
Basically, it was as Gu Wenxuan envisioned, and if she followed her father's suggestion, she had a solid idea in her mind about the pros and cons between the two.
Then, with the help of the ink that had not yet dried in the inkstone, Zhou Banxia began to choose a writing brush and began to write a plan in fine hairpin characters.
For a moment, the study became even quieter. Apart from the occasional sound of the couple turning over papers, there was only the sound of breathing.
The east wing opposite.
Aunt Ma saw that her two eldest grandsons had fallen asleep, and the late-night snacks brought in by her mother-in-law were served to her daughter according to the confinement meal plan without any neglect.
Later, Xu was worried that her tiger girl's food would be tasteless, so her mother-in-law brought her supper and specially placed it on the table in the small hall.
I have to say that the Gu family's food is more thoughtful than hers. Whether it is food for pregnancy, postpartum period, or food for guests, there is really no duplicate.
But before going to bed, Aunt Ma wanted to see if her mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu, who never came back, was so generous that she left everything to her servants, and then she went back to her room and slept peacefully.
After her daughter had finished her supper, her uncle also lay down with her in the north room opposite her. Since it was difficult for her daughter to open the window during confinement, Aunt Ma left the south room and went to the small hall.
He glanced at the upper room.
The upper room was still lit by candlelight.
Looking at the in-laws, it doesn't look like they just went to bed right away, and it doesn't look like the mother-in-law didn't come to take a look at her daughter-in-law and grandson to say hello before going to bed.
Then there's the west wing opposite.
The south room is dark, but the light is still on in the north room. The person sitting behind the window seems to be Rokuro. The child is still studying. What about Rokuro's wife?
"I'm sure I'm still with Liulang in the north room." Seeing Aunt Ma turn back to the room to ask for explanation, Ma Shan said with certainty, "If the lights are on in the south room, Sanya might have gone back to the room to rest.
People say that Rokuro's winning of Xiao Sanyuan was all due to Sanya. In fact, that's not wrong at all. Sanya had been waiting for Rokuro and Oe Onshu whenever they arrived earlier.
My mother-in-law repeatedly asked her to rest early, and she promised to do so, but every time she would wait alone in the south room after returning home. ”
In the main room of the house, Ms. Liu didn't know that her mother-in-law was wondering whether she would pay attention to her eldest daughter-in-law and grandson before going to bed. She was busy.
It was related to the annual fur trade. She and her husband also wanted to save some money for their children, but they couldn't let the old son and the younger couple suffer in everything.
Sanya is filial and kind-hearted, but it's okay in the short term, but over time, Erlang and Huniu will take it for granted.
This was not impossible, nor did she suddenly realize that she still had a small family, and she could not let her child's father support a large family without any bottom line.
Simply, before Gu Erzhu left for a long journey, Mrs. Liu asked the old girl to make the calculation. She herself wrote down the amount reported by the old girl. (End of chapter)
