Chapter 126 127 Banquet

   After hearing this, Li Yu also felt that this was the case. The people above all thought that they did not care about the court and the people, and the people who were forced to live by this natural disaster and man-made disaster had no choice but to take risks in the end.

  Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia and smiled: "So you have to learn more about farming, and you will also be an official in the future! If you can't even tell the difference between wheat seedlings and leeks, how can you do things for the people?"

   "Yu'er, I only need you." Zhou Jia hugged Li Yu, pecked her red lips lightly, and smiled like a cat stealing fish to eat.

  Li Yu tapped Zhou Jia's forehead, grinned at his smug look, "Xiao Xi, you're a jerk."

   Zhou Jia hugged Li Yu and smiled proudly, "Xiaoyu'er, you are my daughter-in-law, I am only interested in you and I am only willing to be jealous of you."

  Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia's glowing eyes, and quickly pushed him away, "It's getting late, and there is a banquet tomorrow morning, so you should go back and rest."

   Zhou Jia nodded reluctantly, "Yeah! You should rest too!"

  Li Yu sent Zhou Jia to the door and watched him go home, before closing the courtyard door and resting.

   The next day, Zhu Zhencheng from the town, several squires, and people from the village all came. Even the old man Hu didn't know where he got the news, and he also brought chickens and ducks to the village to congratulate him.

  Old man Hu saw Zhou Jia, who was handsome and handsome, and nodded secretly in his heart. As expected of Miss Li's fiance and husband-in-law, the two were a match made in heaven.

   Zhou, the Li family, and the villagers who helped in the village, the banquet was finally over after a busy day. Zhou Jia sent off the last guests and the villagers sat in the yard gossiping.

  The old village chief happily said to Zhou Jia: "Mr. Zhou, when are you going to Kyoto to participate in the spring festival?"

   Everyone looked at Zhou Jia with hope, thinking that Fengming Village was about to have a jinshi master.

   "I want to go to Kyoto after I have prepared enough. Besides, the world has not been very peaceful in the past two years, so I will wait until the next spring!" Zhou Jia said to the old village chief.

   "Isn't the drought in Qingzhou over yet?"

   "Not yet!..." Zhou Jia picked up the news he heard in Tongzhou and told everyone what he could say.

Everyone was very fortunate after hearing this, and they all thanked Li Yu and Zhou Jia, "Mr. Zhou, Xiaoyu, fortunately we came out with you two, and led us to live a good life, now it's better than in Xishan Village. I don't know how much better."

   The two smiled politely, "You can't say that, it's your decision."

   Everyone politely said goodbye and went home to rest.

When Butcher He got home, he said to the Huang family: "Mr. Zhou is now a master of Juren. I think we will agree to the marriage of Xiaoyu and Ruyi! There is no one in this world, and the good people are not as good as the servants of the official family. Besides, Xiaoyu and Mr. Zhou are kind people and will not treat us Xiaoyu badly, and Xiaoyu's marriage to Ruyi is a lady in charge."

  Huang looked at Butcher He stubbornly, "But when I think of Xiaoyu marrying the servant of that girl's family, I feel awkward. Back then...

Butcher He was so angry that he slapped the table, "In the beginning, you didn't look down on others! Look at their abilities, even a man can't compare. Let me ask you, is it your face or your child's good life? It's important, why are you so confused?"

   Seeing that Butcher He was really angry, Mrs. Huang murmured, "Will you allow me to think about it?"

   Butcher He stood up and looked at the Huang family, "Humph! I'll give you a few days, you'd better think about it, or I'll just ask someone to propose a marriage."

  The weather became cooler after **** and winter wheat were planted, so Li Yu and Zhou Jia were busy hiring people to make woolen products.

  After the wholesale business was added to the shop, all the people in the village came on stage, and even the men took over the work of making cloth shells and washing wool, but the women in the village still couldn’t keep up with the speed of rushing goods.

Li Yu renovated the lane adjacent to Zhou's house into a processing place, gathered all the women and girls from Hujia Village, and gave them wool pants, scarves, socks and other simple fabrics after unified training. With a couple of Zhao Di, I started to try to make some women's bags to sell.

  The women and girls of Hujia Village cherished this opportunity to make money. The men in the village took care of all the work at home, so that the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law could work at Li's house to earn money with confidence.

Shopkeeper Su's wool is delivered to Fengming Village every few days, and the goods are continuously shipped away. The business is booming and a lot of people are jealous. In addition, Zhou Jia is the hot new Jie Yuanlang. He was handsome, tall and straight, and he was a future jinshi, and more and more people were excited. All invitations were sent to Fengming Village.

Before the Winter Solstice Festival, Zhou Jia received an invitation from Tongzhou again. Zhou Jia took the invitation to the workshop and looked at the new bags that Li Yuzheng brought people to make. Not much bigger than the palm of your hand, there are two thin cylindrical bags, and some are embroidered with a rabbit that looks a bit like a puppy, with curved eyes and a red turban around it. How to look at it is interesting.

  Some of them were cut from cloth in the shape of flowers and sewed on the bag. Li Yu looked up and saw Zhou Jia smilingly standing in front of the chopping board. He smiled and said, "You're here! Have you bought the fabric I want?"

   "I bought it," Zhou Jia pointed to the bag on the chopping board, "Is this your new bag? It looks so unique."

  Li Yu picked up one and held it in his hand, "Does it look good?"

   "It looks good, the ladies and Mrs. must like these bags."

  Li Yu then said to Zhao Di: "Cousin, just follow the patterns I drew for you. Zhou Jia and I will go look at the fabric."

  Zhao Di glanced at the two of them, pursed her lips and smiled, "Cousin, let's go! I'll do it well."

   Zhou Jia held Li Yu's hand and said with a smile: "Jiangxiang brought a letter back saying that he has signed a contract with the cloth dealer. In the future, these coarse and fine cloths and jacquard fabrics, some of which can be cheaper by one or two hundred cents."

   "That can save a lot of money." Li Yu said with a smile.

  The two went to the warehouse after talking. Li Yu saw the fabric and was very satisfied with the colors. He sent a few horses to the workshop and handed them over to Zhao Di before returning home.

Zhou Jia took out an invitation card, "This is an invitation card sent by Governor Xia of Tongzhou Prefecture, inviting me to go to his house for a banquet to admire chrysanthemums, although the governor is only a ninth-rank petty official, but since ancient times, the king of **** has been good at seeing little devils. If we don’t go, I’m afraid he will find fault with us.”

  Li Yu looked at him and smiled and said, "Isn't he trying to catch you as a son-in-law?"

   Zhou Jia pulled Li Yu, "Yu'er, why don't you go with me! When he sees that I have a daughter-in-law, he can't forcefully rob me!"

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia's arrogant look and patted him, then smiled, "Not this time, it's going to snow, the wheat has to cover the soil, and the workshop is busy. Let's go together later. You go. Tongzhou will bring a few winter coats to Ah Qing, and by the way, bring some gifts to Shen Wu, if there is really anything, they will be well-informed."

   Zhou Jia had to answer, "Okay, I'll pack up and set off. Don't be too tired at home, and it's not safe to go to the mountains a little less. It's cold."

   Li Yu sent Zhou Jia away. Looking at the sky, he felt that the weather this year was colder than last year, and he was secretly worried.
