Chapter 896 I've never been so tired at home
She opened her mouth, wanting to say that she succeeded through her own efforts, not through any connection with Buddha.
But after thinking about it, it was a very mysterious thing that she could come out of her mother's womb with the memories of her past life. It was better not to be too sure about some things, so she kept silent.
As they were talking, a maid came in and said that the guests had arrived and the mistress wanted to carry the young master out to show him.
After all, it was a full moon banquet. It would be unacceptable if the protagonist didn't attend.
Zhou Guo carried the baby all the way, and when they reached the flower hall, he gave the baby back to Zhou Xing and asked her to hold the baby by herself.
There were a lot of people gathered in the flower hall at this time, all of whom were people who had close contacts with the Zhao family. Old Mrs. Zhao was sitting at the top, her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.
Several members of the Li family were also there.
Seeing the few people coming over, many people stood up to look, "Let me see, he is really good-looking, as handsome as his brother."
"Madam, you are so lucky. Your granddaughter-in-law has given you two great-grandchildren. The couple is still young now, and who knows, they will give you even more in the future!"
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
The old lady also laughed out loud. That’s right. The only problem of the Zhao family was the small number of people. Now this common problem is gone. The major issue that has weighed on their minds for decades is gone. They feel so relaxed physically and mentally. They have never been so happy!
Before Zhou Guo sat down in the flower hall, someone came in hurriedly and said that the old man asked her to go to the front yard to entertain guests.
Zhou Guo had no choice but to go.
Unlike the first two years after Zhou Xing got married, now she has already met almost all the powerful families in the north, big and small.
She also knows all the people who came today.
When the old man saw Zhou Guo coming, he stood up and waved with a smile, "Come on, come on. You said you've been here all morning, but you didn't even come to see me."
He said to the crowd, "This is my in-law's granddaughter. You have seen her, right? She is very capable. She knows everyone in Yunzhou now. I have never spoken a word to those big shots in my life. Although she is still young, everyone is eager to invite her to dinner. Come and meet her."
Everyone bowed to Zhou Guo, "Hey, Master Zhou, we have met before, do you still remember me?"
Although Zhou Guo was a girl, when she dealt with the shopkeepers like Yang, she was called "Young Master". After so many years, everyone in the north who dealt with her began to call her Young Master Zhou.
Last year, Master Liu called her "Miss Zhou", and she thought it was a very nice thing to hear. Miss Zhou sounded much nicer than "Mr. Zhou"!
"Mr. Zhou, long time no see. Do you remember what I said last time? I want eighty cows. Do you think you can spare some?"
Zhou Guo said, "Mr. Li, right? I'm so sorry. I told you last time that the cattle I have now are not big enough. I don't even have enough to use myself, let alone sell. Why haven't you bought that many cattle yet?"
She owns so many farms, and now she has added so much land. Every spring she has to plow the land, transport fertilizer and collect nightshades, and in autumn she has to harvest grain and escort the animals. Although she has a lot of livestock and buys more every year, there are indeed many places to use them.
If it weren't for the fact that there have been calves and donkeys born every year in recent years, she would have been really worried.
Everyone else started talking, either about the new grain seeds or whether the fertilizer could be distributed more evenly.
Zhou Guo patiently responded one by one.
The old man watched with a smile on his face, feeling particularly proud.
Master Zhao looked at him and said, "Dad, is it really that serious? Why are you laughing like this?"
The old man gave him a sidelong look and said, "What do you know? You don't know anything. Fortunately, your son worked hard and gave birth to two sons. With them around, even if our Zhao family can't move up a level, it will still be no problem to protect the capital. Even if I die one day, you will not have to live a hard life with the support of the Zhou family."
The old man had a clear plan. Mr. Zhao could only maintain his family business. Anyway, Brother Yang was grown up now and had two children. It would be better to hand it over to his grandson. The young couple had their own ideas.
The most important thing is that the young couple has a closer relationship with Zhou Guo than with his son and his wife, and they are of the same generation, so naturally they get more care.
Mr. Zhao nodded. He didn't have much objection to the old man giving him power. The main reason was that he didn't have much in his hands, so it would be better to give it to his son. He was impatient with these things anyway.
There are so many people from the Zhao family coming today!
Zhou Guo never stopped talking throughout the day. No one was more aware of the fact that the Zhao family had so many guests than her.
Her lips were almost stiff from smiling. She had never been so tired even at home. If it wasn't for Zhou Xing's sake, she would have left long ago.
The old man was not very happy. He said to the idle and happy old man rudely: "This is your Zhao family, right? Her surname is Zhou, right? She has never worked so hard in her own family. Normally, these people would never see her. It's been a long time. You have earned enough glory for your old face, right? How long do you want her to work so hard?"
The old man's mouth froze, and he said awkwardly: "I just thought that it was not easy for everyone to see her, and we are not strangers..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man said coldly: "Your Zhao family has been a single-line family for three generations. These are not outsiders. Which relatives are they? Which of them has the surname Zhao?"
The old man was furious. "You, you, you, can't you just talk about it nicely? Besides, my family is not a single-line family anymore! Yuan Ge'er already has a younger brother, how can you still say that?"
He looked at Zhou Guo and touched his son, "Go, replace Zhou Guo."
Zhou Guo looked at Master Zhao who came in, his eyes lit up, "Everyone, stop talking about me. Don't forget that today is the Zhao family's full moon banquet. Uncle Zhao has a new grandson, and the family is finally no longer a single-line inheritance for generations. This is a great thing, don't you think?"
"Yes, yes, Brother Zhao, congratulations!"
Everyone congratulated him. After Zhou Guo's reminder, they remembered why they came here today. It was really not right not to greet the host.
Zhou Guo took the opportunity to withdraw from the crowd.
She asked the servant for three cups of tea in one breath and went out. She didn't want to stay in this place for a moment. It was horrible.
He turned left and right in Zhao's house and went to the garden. He found a large flat rock, lay on it and sighed.
I listened quietly and attentively to the opera singing coming from the front. A breeze blew by, and I fell asleep in a short while.
She was awakened by Zhou Su.
I heard a faint voice in my ears, "Sister, sister, wake up..."
She opened her eyes and saw Zhou Su, then sat up and asked, "What's wrong? Are you leaving?"
Zhou Su said, "We have a meal in the front yard, but they couldn't find you. Mother asked me to look for you. Mother said we would go back after dinner."
"No." Zhou Guo lay down again when he heard about the meal. "You go and eat. The food at Zhao's house is not delicious. I'd better go back and eat."
