Chapter 664 Looking for her?
As soon as the word "ke" fell, Mai Huang came, still walking outside with heavy footsteps and approaching the west room window, not forgetting to make a sound.
"Strange, strange thing, why did Zhiming come to see the second young master again..."
Gu Wenxuan laughed out loud.
Zhou Banxia supports the forehead.
"I went out in the morning and did some morning exercises at the martial arts training ground with Doctor Song, Qi San and the others, but after your father came, I didn't go out with them again.
After that, a group of them went to Dr. Dong's place, and I asked Zhiming to accompany them there. I thought they must be back, so Zhiming came to let me know. ”
He came back earlier than he expected. In all likelihood, he didn't sit at Dr. Dong's place for long before someone came to ask Dr. Dong for a visit.
Gu Wenxuan shook his head regretfully. The guests had to go to the outer courtyard when they came back, so he had to hug his wife and said that they couldn't have lunch together.
Even if you stay, we can't have lunch together, okay? Zhou Banxia laughed hard and pushed Gu Wenxuan, signaling him to go to the outer courtyard to entertain the guests.
After Gu Wenxuan left, Zhou Banxia asked Mai Huang to ask her Aunt Lan to come first, while he began to draft a road map from Qinghe Village to Zhoujia Village.
In less than a cup of tea, the villages, towns, counties along the way, and the location of the inn were all vividly displayed on the paper, which showed that she had already made a plan.
Then I drew a few circles on the paper, with a limit of fifty miles, and circled the approximate locations of Zhuangzi that can be purchased on this route.
The purpose is self-evident.
She and her husband had joked before that it was very convenient to have their own Zhuangzi wherever they went. It was impossible to travel in a large area, but this section of the journey was still achievable.
Firstly, it is convenient for traveling to and from Zhoujiacun, as there is no need to find a place to stay halfway due to factors such as weather and climate on the way; secondly, it is also for the convenience of freight.
Nowadays, some of the raw materials needed for the workshop, such as spices, are purchased from the south of Zhoujia Village and must be transferred to Zhoujia Village before being transported back.
Furthermore, in addition to the favor exchanges in Fucheng, basically every house in other places also sent gifts and reciprocal gifts directly to Zhoujia Village.
In a sense, Zhuangzi in Zhoujiacun is regarded as the second home of her couple by various governments. They are not afraid that things will be delivered and her couple will not be informed in time.
handwashing.
Taking the handkerchief from Mai Dong, Zhou Banxia silently calculated the rough budget again and determined that there was no conflict with the property purchase planned by the couple. He was too lazy to wait for Gu Wenxuan to come back in the afternoon to make a decision, but why didn't Mai Huang come back? , maybe Aunt Lan is not at home.
Zhou Molan is very busy.
At the invitation of Zhou Shun and Li, Chang Qing and I just came back this morning after arranging tomorrow's practice banquet with Zhou's family and housekeeper Zhou. We were invited by my in-laws.
This in-law's wife is not Li's, but Ma Shan's mother, Ma Qin's, Aunt Ma. She came to Liu's courtyard before six o'clock in the morning (nine o'clock) to return the invitation.
Mrs. Liu knew that Doctor Lin and others probably did not want to go to Ma's house for a banquet in the past two days, especially the two young guests from Qi's house. They were in a hurry to leave the day after tomorrow, and they had not considered this aspect.
There are too many people invited.
Yesterday, not only Zhou Xiucai's family, but also the Zhao family repeatedly asked them to take time to sit at home, which scared them so much that they didn't even want to go to the city for a walk today.
But just like the warm invitation from the Zhao family, it was definitely not easy for her to tell her mother-in-law directly. For the third son of the Zhou family and the two young guests of the Qi family, their relationship with the Ma family was far away.
Looking past the past two days, the three girls, including the little girl from Wen's husband's family, have never left the second door of her house. How could they still go to Ma's house for the banquet. what to do?
It can only be said that before they set off the day after tomorrow, they had promised to go to Zhou's house tomorrow. Even if they and the others were having a barbecue this afternoon, they really couldn't go.
It's not that Dr. Lin and the others don't like the simple meal, it's such a coincidence that the steward who came to pick them up and set off back home has already arrived in the county today.
When Zhou Molan came in, she heard Madam Ma talking about what night she was talking about, but she didn't listen carefully. She knew that it was either tonight or tomorrow night.
After Mrs. Liu finally managed to deal with Mrs. Ma Qin, she agreed to go to Dr. Lin to see if she could make time to sit out at Ma's house tonight. Mai Huang came.
Her girl is looking for her?
Why don't you go see Dr. Lin?
"Slow down, Aunt Lan, walk slowly. The girl is fine. She was still in the study before the slave came out, and Ophiopogon japonicus was guarding the girl.
This morning, when my uncle came back from the outer courtyard, he had the morning meal with the girl. He and the girl went into the study together, chatting and laughing. He didn't go to the outer courtyard until Zhi Ming came looking for her.
When I entered the study, I heard the girl say that she didn’t go back to the room just because she learned that the Third Young Master and the others were leaving the day after tomorrow, and the girl wanted to chat with you..."
Zhou Molan felt at ease after hearing this. She walked quietly and waited for Mai Huang, a talkative boy, to finish, and then she said, "There is nothing trivial about the master."
"Yes, I dare not be careless."
West Road Courtyard.
Along the way, Zhou Molan deliberately paid attention to the rules of the maid and mother-in-law. Seeing that they were fine, she still beat them when she entered the main courtyard of the West Road Courtyard.
Everyone was afraid of Aunt Lan, as if they were afraid of something. As soon as Aunt Lan arrived, the courtyard suddenly became as quiet as late at night, and Zhou Banxia was secretly happy.
It's a pity that she just wanted to step out of the study room to greet Aunt Lan, but she forgot that there was an Ophiopogon japonicus beside her that she didn't need to knock, and she wished she could wrap her up with a quilt so that she could see the wind.
"Your girl is not in confinement, why are you nervous?" Zhou Banxia stretched out his hand and gave Maidong a headache, "Why don't you go and invite Aunt Lan in!"
Maidong smiled stupidly and nodded hurriedly.
"Go." Really, are you afraid that she will slip out in a short time? Zhou Banxia laughed and shook his head, pointing to the Arhat chair behind him, "Go quickly."
Seeing this, Maidong felt relieved. After bending his knees and saluting, he took two steps back, turned around and glanced at the little maid waiting outside the door.
What a silly girl.
If she wants to go out, can the little maid stop her? Zhou Banxia thought to himself and walked to the desk and picked up the paper of the route map.
A moment.
The voices of Zhou Molan and Maidong reached Zhou Banxia's ears from far to near.
Zhou Banxia silently counted one, two, three... Suddenly, she rolled her eyes, faced the window, and raised her voice narrowly, "Ha, it's so hot!"
Seeing that Zhou Molan was about to walk past the window to the door of Xi'er's room, she was almost frightened and couldn't help but smile. "You are not allowed to open the window."
"Yes, I knew you were back, but you didn't take a step out. Aunt Lan, were you very busy this morning, or did you just come back after going to Hexi?"
Zhou Molan was not surprised at all how her girl heard and knew she had arrived. Even though she repeatedly told her not to disturb the girl, her girl was already extremely smart.
