Chapter 126: The Mysterious Giver
It was a great surprise that the Kou family was able to send a congratulatory gift, and when he heard that someone else was coming, Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment.
Speaking of which, he is just a country boy, where is there any fame, and there are not many people who have come to know him, and those who may have come to give congratulatory gifts have already come, but it is impossible to give congratulatory gifts have come to a few, and it seems that there are no more people who can come in my impression.
Zhou Zhi hurriedly greeted the door.
Daddy Zhou Tie was already smiling at this time, he couldn't imagine that his son had such extensive contacts in this short period of time, and it seemed that these people Zhou Zhi befriended were either rich or expensive, and the Zhou family was going to change the rhythm of the courtyard and glorify the lintel.
Especially the magistrate can have a congratulatory gift, what a great honor and what a great honor! Let's ask, in this Baiyue Village, who will alarm the county with a happy event? Even the Yue family and the Chen family can't. Zhou Tie's originally straight waist pole has been a lot straighter.
There are also these two boxes of congratulatory gifts sent by the Kou family in Tang County just now, as if all the dowries have been prepared for Zhou Luyun's wedding. One hundred taels of silver for white flowers, that's not a small amount.
So when he heard that there was another visitor, Zhou Tie had a black face and was happy like a blooming flower, and followed Zhou Zhi out of the house.
In the courtyard there were already six people dressed as servants, led by an old man, the old man had a ruddy face, not tall, but in good spirits, and looked very shrewd and capable.
Zhou Zhi looked at everyone carefully, and he didn't know any of them, so he couldn't help but wonder even more. But he still smiled and arched his hand towards the old man, "Old man, this is a happy event for the Zhou family in Baiyue Village, the old man should have gone to the wrong place, right?" ”
The old man didn't care, and said with a smile, "Isn't this little brother called Zhou Zhi?" ”
"The kid is called Zhou Zhi, this is my sister who wants to get married!" Zhou Zhidao.
"Huh! That's right, the old man is here to give you a congratulatory gift. The old man spoke, then waved his hand at the five servants behind him, and said, "Carry it in!" ”
The five servants, carrying two wooden boxes, ignored Zhou Zhi at all, and walked directly towards the house.
Zhou Zhi was even more puzzled, and asked, "Dare to ask the old man who gave this congratulatory gift?" ”
The old man was slightly silent for a moment, and said, "Hehe! This one...... This, forgive the old man for not being able to tell him. Brother Zhou Zhi only needs to know that my master has received the life-saving grace of Brother Zhou Zhi, and it is not enough to worry about the small courtesy! ”
The five servants carried the two wooden boxes into the house and came out of the house, and the old man immediately bowed his hand to Zhou Zhiyi and said, "Brother Zhou Zhi, my master said, let us leave when the gift is delivered!" Hehe! I'm waiting to say goodbye! ”
As if worried that Zhou Zhi would refuse to accept their gifts, or that Zhou Zhi would ask more questions and show his horse's feet, the old man led the five servants out of the courtyard gate, got into the carriage, and left immediately.
They came and went in a hurry, and they didn't even drink a bowl of water, and Zhou Zhi was even more confused.
He said that their master had received my life-saving grace. Why can't I remember? Who the hell are they?
Uncle Wang, the "mystery boy" on the side, said with a smile, "Zhou Zhi boy is really amazing, he has made so many friends, hehe!" I'm going to have a big man in Baiyue Village!
Although the old man said that he was a servant just now, he acted neatly and in a good manner, and he was obviously from a large family. Especially the old servant, although he was a servant, but he had a majesty, and he was not a person nearby. According to the old man, they should at least come from the house. ”
Although Uncle Wang is only a poor farmer, he always prides himself on being well-informed, and I don't know how he can see that the old man is different and that he is from the house. However, when he said this, Zhou Zhi was even more puzzled.
I'm a kid in the countryside, and now the farthest place is to go to Qingdu County, where have I been to Baoding Mansion?
It's really inexplicable, and I can't figure it out.
Zhou Zhi secretly thought that in the future, he must hurry up to find out their origins.
I talked to Uncle Wang a few more words, and Uncle Wang kept nagging Zhou Zhi about how great he was, and that Baiyue Village was going to leave with a big man or something, and Zhou Zhi went back to the house.
Daddy Zhou Tie had already returned to the house and opened the two boxes, at this time he was stunned, looking at the contents of the two wooden boxes with straight eyes, and was silent for a long time.
Zhou Zhi was also very surprised when he saw the contents of the wooden box.
If the congratulatory gifts sent by the Kou family in Tang County are very valuable, they are nothing compared to the contents of these two wooden boxes.
A wooden box was full of silver ingots, and they were neatly arranged, shining brightly in the dim room, and they were three hundred taels in size.
In another wooden box were gold and silver jewelry, all of which were packed in delicate boxes, and there were as many as seventeen or eighteen pieces. In addition, there are fine tea leaves and silk satin, which are dazzling.
Mother-in-law Zhou He and sister Zhou Luyun also looked sluggish at this time.
After a long time, Zhou Tie and the others came back to their senses, looked at Zhou Zhi, and said, "Xiaozhi, what kind of family have you met?" This ceremony...... That's a lot of money! ”
Zhou Zhi shook his head blankly, but finally said with a smile, "Since someone sent it, I just accepted it, so it's okay, my Zhou family's life will be even better in the future!" ”
said this, but in his heart, he was thinking that the person who gave the gift was obviously not simply giving a congratulatory gift for his sister's marriage, they were obviously using the reason for his sister's wedding to help the Zhou family. This kindness must be kept in mind, and when the details are learned later, it must be reciprocated.
Approaching Zhou Luyun's marriage, the Zhou family accepted so many congratulatory gifts, Zhou Tie, Zhou He and Zhou Luyun naturally had a good life, these congratulatory gifts had to be supplemented to Zhou Luyun's dowry, and the rest were all handed over to Zhou He's for safekeeping.
In this family, although Zhou He is an ordinary woman, she is a good hand at running a family. No matter how poor she is, she can live it, and no matter how rich she is, she can live it.
On the second day, Zhou Luyun got married, the Hu family in Gaochang Town came early to welcome his relatives, and the small courtyard of the Zhou family was lively again, and Zhou Luyun married out in a beautiful manner.
The news that Zhou Zhi received a lot of valuable congratulatory gifts had already spread in Baiyue Village, and for a while, the people were even more impressed by Zhou Zhi.
Of course, there are also many people who are envious, jealous and hateful of the Zhou family, especially the Chen family and the Yue family.
After her sister Zhou Luyun got married, the next few days were the autumn harvest.
Although there was too much rain this year, the rice harvest in the four acres of fields was not too bad, and Zhou Zhi and his father Zhou Tie harvested the rice in a few days, and then plowed the fields and planted wheat.
It is worth mentioning that last year's cultivation was all by manpower, but this year it is very different, my father Zhou Tie hired two ploughing cows, and the fields were sorted out and planted in just two days.
Seeing that the potatoes were about to be harvested, Zhou Zhi began to prepare equipment such as making vermicelli in his spare time of reading and writing.
