Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Chapter 203 Please drink

There was a buzz of discussion all around.

Mrs. Zhou Er said loudly: "Everyone knows that this child is An An, the eldest child of our Zhou, Qin, and Zhao families!

"From today on, An An is the eldest granddaughter of the Zhou family's eldest branch!

"When the ancestral hall is opened in the future, her name will be recorded in the family tree!"

Zhou Yu had already told her in advance that this was the prerequisite for Zhou Qin to get married, and he had to have Qin Ying, and he had also decided on An An as his daughter.

After Mrs. Zhou Er confirmed it again and again, she told him that if anything went wrong with the old man, she would be the one to persuade him.

Mrs. Zhou Er was already feeling very worried. There is no one in a higher position who doesn't have a lot of tricks in his mind. Although the current Crown Prince was protected and escaped from the siege by his own family, the rift between the monarch and his subjects would eventually appear and gradually widen.

It is not enough for the second branch to just stay at the border, the first branch must also be able to live safely in the capital.

Wen Ruo's action seems to be caused by love, but this child has been extremely intelligent since childhood, so he must have weighed the pros and cons before making this decision.

It's also good to give the prince the impression that Wen Ruoni is deeply in love.

Besides, An An is a really lovely child. In just the past few days since she came, my whole family has been fascinated by her. If I don’t touch her little face and see her smile every day, I always feel empty in my heart.

This small mountain village seems to have its own spirit. Since I came here, I have felt refreshed and all my hidden ailments have improved a lot.

He also got along very well with the Zhao family. Although Aunt Zhao was not very literate, she was kind and her children were very outstanding, which was very rare.

Besides, Qin Ying, a child born into a scholarly family, followed her mother through life and death to this remote village, but she did not completely abandon her studies.

It would have been fine if she could just read, but the key point was that she could do everything from needlework that a lady from a noble family could do, to farm work that a country woman could do.

What is even more rare is that he is smart and dares to try. When I first saw the things Zhou Yu described in his letters, I always thought it was because of his "beauty in the eyes of a lover". But when I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that it was just realistic.

A woman like this is a good wife for Wen Ruo. No, calling her a "good wife" is an understatement. This is because the world is so prejudiced against women. Otherwise, this child's future achievements would be no less than Wen Ruo's.

The sound of firecrackers brought Mrs. Zhou Er back to her senses. She personally picked up An An and turned to go into the inner hall.

Zhou Yu's parents are no longer around, and her grandfather and uncle cannot come, so she, as their aunt, has to exercise the power of their parents on their behalf.

However, she still placed the spirit tablets of her brother and sister-in-law in the main seat, and she just sat on the side.

The master of ceremonies was just directing the newlyweds to pay their respects to their parents when they heard the rapid sound of horse hooves outside, followed by someone shouting, "The Crown Prince's handwritten order has arrived!"

The hall was suddenly so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Mrs. Zhou Er frowned slightly, waved to the steward and whispered a few instructions.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Zhou Yu's face. He turned to look at Zhang Jinzhi. Zhang Jinzhi nodded at him, turned around and left quickly. Xu Xia also followed him.

The person who came to deliver the imperial edict was a Hanlin from the Imperial Academy, an old acquaintance of Zhang Jinzhi. Zhang Jinzhi smiled and said, "It's Brother Huiping! You must have come all this way, you must have worked hard. Someone, please help Lord Liu off his horse!"

Liu Song, Liu Huiping, was a fellow Jinshi as Zhang Jinzhi. He was a year older and a frail scholar. He had been traveling all the way and his old bones were about to fall apart. He couldn't get down even with the support of others.

Xu Xia stepped forward and asked someone to help him get off the horse. His bodyguards were then arranged by the Zhou family's housekeeper to rest and drink.

Zhang Jinzhi personally stepped forward and took Liu Song's arm, smiling brightly and saying, "Brother Huiping, you've come at the right time. Today is a good day for our Lord Zhou. You should have a couple of drinks!"

"Brother Zhang Nian, I came to..." Liu Song stroked the bag slung over his shoulder and wanted to speak, but his tongue was a little stiff from being frozen for so long.

"You've had a hard time along the way. Let's go inside and talk about it first. It's not something urgent." Zhang Jinzhi smiled and led him into a small courtyard and straight into the house. As soon as he entered the door, hot air hit his face and the aroma of dishes overbearingly hit him.

The Black Mountain area was very cold in October. The area had just experienced a drought and had not yet recovered. There was nothing good to eat along the way, and Liu Song was already stiff and hungry.

Zhang Jinzhi helped him sit down and ordered someone to get hot water for him to wash his hands. He had already poured a cup of warm wine and handed it to his lips: "Brother Huiping, drink a cup first to warm yourself up."

Liu Song couldn't refuse the kindness, so he drank the whole cup. After the warm wine went down his throat, the coldness in his body was much relieved.

The Zhou family's servants had already brought warm water to help wash their hands.

Zhang Jinzhi handed over the second glass of wine. Liu Song's hands were busy and he was in a hurry to drive away the cold, so he thanked him and drank from Zhang Jinzhi's hand.

Zhang Jinzhi calmly poured another glass and gave it to him before he could wipe his hands.

The servants brought hand and foot warmers, and helped Liu Song change his shoes.

Liu Song sighed comfortably, feeling alive again. He said with emotion, "Brother Zhangnian, this mountain is really... It's hard for Prince Zhou and you to stay here for several years!"

"Brother Huiping, you've worked hard. Come, come, have another drink," Zhang Jinzhi poured him another glass of wine. "It's windy and cold in the mountains, and the mountain roads are difficult to walk on. Brother Huiping, it's really hard for you!"

Liu Song felt better and drank another cup. His stomach had warmed up and he let the servant come and help him change into outer clothes.

Zhang Jinzhi thanked him for his hard work and toasted him calmly. Liu Song accepted all the toasts because he felt comfortable after drinking.

But in just a quarter of an hour, he had already drunk a pot of wine and hadn't eaten a single bite of food.

Zhang Jinzhi said with a smile: "Brother Huiping, drinking dry will make you drunk easily. Eat some vegetables. Although these vegetables are wild game from the mountains, they are very delicious if cooked properly."

Liu Song was about to eat when he heard a call from outside: "Mrs. Zhou Er has arrived."

The door curtain was lifted, and Mrs. Zhou Er came in with a group of people following behind her.

Liu Song hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Mrs. Zhou Er's face was full of smiles, and she said gently, "Master Liu has worked hard on the journey. Today happened to coincide with our family's wedding, and the banquet was vulgar. I am sorry for neglecting it.

"I have nothing to offer you, but I offer a toast to Master Liu!"

Without giving Liu Song a chance to speak, he picked up the wine glass filled by the old woman and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Liu Song did not dare to be negligent and drank the wine in his glass. Zhang Jinzhi immediately filled it up.

Madam Zhou Er turned aside, pulled Aunt Zhao behind her, and introduced her, "This is my Wen Ruo's mother-in-law. My mother-in-law knows that Master Liu is a distinguished person from the capital, so she came to offer him a glass of wine."

Liu Song glanced up and down at Aunt Zhao. Although she was also wearing gold and silver, the wrinkles on her face showed that she was not from a high family. He didn't want to give her this face, but because Mrs. Zhou was present, he had to drink the cup.

Mrs. Zhou Er praised, "Master Liu has a good alcohol tolerance! Come on, Huzi, your brother-in-law is busy, so you can toast Master Liu on his behalf!"

Whether he is the brother-in-law or not is not a big deal, but how could Liu Song not give Zhou Yu face?
