After talking about the old lady from the Zhou family, I also said that Gu Dalang’s family of four had vacated the house a few months ago and now moved back to the backyard of their big grocery store.
There are Gu Yangwen, Gu Erniu, and Gu Silang who often stays in the city due to wind and snow. Maybe the place is not spacious, and Gu Dalang's wife is bringing her children back.
According to Mrs. Oda, the grocery store was very busy, but they were short of money to purchase goods. A few days ago, she asked Gu Laosi and his wife to borrow fifty taels of silver.
He said that he wanted to repay Zhou Banxia's 20 taels of silver first, and use the extra 30 taels to purchase goods at this new year's end, so that the shop would not have nothing to sell and miss out on the first month's sales.
But before Gu Laosi could refuse, Fang pushed it.
Afterwards, Mrs. Oda went back and complained to Mr. Gu, saying that Mrs. Fang was in charge of the family. She also mentioned that her Sanlang was working in the fourth house and she was afraid of death.
For this matter, according to Gu Sanlang's wife, if Mrs. Gu hadn't stopped him last night, Mr. Gu would have wanted to ask Gu Qilang to visit his old son overnight.
"...Their big house is still a mess. It will be even more lively when the elder man's wife comes back. If someone comes to see you and your mother is not at home, do you know what to do?
Just let Mai Huang tell you that you just lay down in the house. No matter who it is, including your third aunt and old aunt, it's best not to see them these days.
It’s not like mothers judge a gentleman’s heart with a villain’s heart. No matter who comes to you, they will definitely mention that your aunt wants to borrow money from your uncle and his wife to pay you back.
What are you going to say when the time comes? If you say you won't wait to use it, the shameless guy might even ask you to borrow money to make a living. It's very annoying, and you don't want to be alone with anyone when you see him.
We met in my mother's yard. Your sister-in-law and Bao Ya are not with you. Remember not to be alone. It's best to bring a maid with you.
Just like the last time we were in the city, the elder man's wife was just making up random things outside. Who knows what she had in mind when she came back this time? ”
"Mom, I told you, I'm not a good person."
Mrs. Liu wanted to laugh when she heard this. She believed that the child could come back clean from the backyard of the deep house, and naturally there was some scheming involved, but this was the case at the same time.
She still doesn't know that this child has more worries now. If this person has concerns, he will inevitably be restrained, especially if he is from the husband's family.
Like her.
When she first entered the family, she would never have thought that once she got married, she would often have to worry about the dignity of her child's father, and she had to endure it even if she couldn't bear it.
Zhou Banxia learned a lot from this night's heart-to-heart talk, and Mrs. Liu was also very satisfied. If the night watch hadn't been louder, she would have wanted to chat more with her old daughter-in-law.
After seeing the hair growth oil (hair oil) and fragrant lotion freshly baked in the workshop, and then touching the kang bed to warm it, I told my old daughter-in-law that there was no need to get up early tomorrow, and she was going back.
If he doesn't come back, the child's father will be anxious.
"What are you doing out here? It's windy outside."
After leaving the Nuan Pavilion, Ms. Liu was served by Gu Dahua's family and put on her cloak. When she turned around, she saw Zhou Banxia sneaking into the hall without knowing when.
Zhou Banxia laughed sarcastically, "I won't step out of the threshold, mother. Not only does the wind seem to be getting strong outside, but it's also snowing. Don't forget to put on your hand warmers."
"There is snow, but it is very small now." Even if Mrs. Liu didn't have to take two steps and waited for the maid to open the curtain and take a look outside, she was confident that the snowflakes would not be too big at this time. There are heavy snowflakes, Gu Dahua will mention it at first, but the wind whistles louder, "Don't be afraid, mother will pass through the hand-chaoshou veranda.
At the beginning, when he saw you two renovating everything, your father still disliked you for wasting money. Now that the benefits have come, he praises you for your thoughtful thinking.
Okay, mother is going back first. There's less than half an hour before midnight snack, so remember to take a rest early. You know, if you can't sleep, just lie down and close your eyes to rest your mind? ”
"Okay, I got it." Zhou Banxia said as her mother-in-law glared at her and quickly moved a step to the side of the cotton curtain. Sure enough, she was satisfied and smiled again.
In fact, she just waited for the maid who was opening the curtain outside to lift the entire cotton curtain. There was a corridor outside the door. In such a short period of time, she would not be frozen by the cold wind.
Watching Mrs. Liu leave, she took a shortcut from the corridor to the backyard and went straight back to the main courtyard. Before Mrs. Liu's back disappeared, someone else urged Zhou Banxia to go back to her room.
If you don’t want to take a look at the night view, you can’t even take a look at the courtyard.
Returning to Nuangeer, Zhou Banxia leaned on the couch, thinking about what her mother-in-law said tonight, and then reviewed whether there was anything inappropriate in what she said.
After sitting for a while, she felt relieved, stood up slowly, rang the bell to call Maidong in, and was supported by Maihuang to go to the clean room and start washing up.
After changing into a middle coat and trousers, and then putting on a long bijia, it was strange that He Maihuang and others from Gu Dachang's family had not come back from sending her mother-in-law to the main courtyard.
After returning to her room and sitting in front of the dressing table, while Maidong braided her hair into two braids so that she could fall asleep, Zhou Banxia subconsciously listened to what was going on outside.
Thinking of the dark night when the wind and snow were raging outside, the others were still standing outside, a little worried that the mother-in-law and maids could not bear it, Zhou Banxia announced that they were going to bed.
She said she was going to bed, but actually she had to have a midnight snack before getting on the kang bed. But she didn't say she wanted to go to bed, and even the maid who wasn't on duty tonight wouldn't go back to her room to rest.
No, after almost a cup of tea, you could hear He Maihuang and others from Gu Dachang's family returning from sending her mother-in-law to the main courtyard. You could also hear many people guarding her outside.
No matter how small the movement was, her ears were so good that they couldn't hide it from her. She also heard Gu Dachang's family asking in a low voice, can the girl have supper?
He Maihuang from Gu Dachang's family was shaking off the snowflakes on his body outside the main hall. He was afraid of bringing the coldness to Zhou Banxia, so he didn't dare to enter rashly.
"Maixiang, tell them to come in quickly. I'm in the back room. By the time they come in, the cold is gone. It's also cold tonight. Let everyone drink a bowl of ginger tea to avoid catching the cold."
< br>
After answering, Mai Xiang gave a salute, took two steps back lightly, turned around, and quickly left the inner room. Following Zhou Banxia's instructions, he let He Maihuang from Gu Dachang's family in first.
Mai Huang, who was mainly from Gu Dachang's family, followed her into the inner room of the Nuan Pavilion one step behind, and saw that the girl in her family was writing something at night.
"You're back. What are you carrying in your arms?" Zhou Banxia turned around and looked curious, "Did you just bring it back from the main courtyard?"
"Back to the Second Young Mistress, yes." Gu Dachang's family put the things on the armchair aside, "It's the two baggages that the eldest aunt dragged the master back to give you.
The eldest aunt and wife originally wanted to ask the eldest young master to bring it back, but he happened to go to town in the afternoon, so the eldest aunt and wife gave it to the master, saying that it was a worthless gadget.
My wife was afraid that we would be late when we came back and delay your rest, so she asked us to bring it back first, saying that if you open it and take a look, you will know what is inside. In all likelihood, it will be a return gift. "(End of Chapter)
