His brother-in-law, Hochul, actively organized craftsmen to build textile workshops, and at the same time traveled around looking for weavers and purchasing raw materials.

Fortunately, there were many weavers in Gaoyang County, and Hochul only went a few times, and hired about thirty skilled and young and strong people. As for the five craftsmen who repaired the loom of the Sun family, Ho Zhe naturally hired them without any effort.

It is worth mentioning that Ho Chul also hired a bookkeeper surnamed Wang from Gaochang Town. Hu Zhe knew very well in his heart that although he was in charge of this textile workshop, in the final analysis, Zhou Zhi was the final shopkeeper.

Although he is the son-in-law of the Zhou family, he can be regarded as a member of the Zhou family, and he also knows that the Zhou family will not settle accounts with him, let alone treat him badly. But Hochul is a person who understands and understands the truth of his brother's accounting. The management of the accounts of this textile workshop must still be clear.

Sister Zhou Luyun understands Hu Zhe's mind even more, and after discussing with her father Zhou Tie and her mother Zhou He, she asked her younger brother Zhou Shaocheng to follow Mr. Wang in Gaochang Town to learn bookkeeping or something.

Anyway, now anyone in the family can see that Zhou Shaocheng doesn't have Zhou Zhi's ability, he is not the material for reading, and he will not be famous at all when he reads. However, Zhou Shaocheng is particularly sensitive to numbers, and has the ability that ordinary people can't reach, so it is most suitable to be a bookkeeper in the future.

Although Zhou Zhi felt that his sister's arrangement was not very appropriate, he saw that his sister and brother-in-law were busy all day long, as if they were devoting themselves to the workshop, so he simply let it go.

Zhou Zhi won 8,000 taels of silver from Liu Long, 4,800 taels to buy a loom from Gao Yangsun's family, almost 7,800 taels to build a textile workshop, and then the rest was more than 2,000 taels.

More than 2,000 taels of silver were used to buy raw materials, as well as the wages of weavers, so that when calculated, it seemed to be a little insufficient. Therefore, after discussing the sixty looms, Ho Zhe and Zhou Zhi decided to use half of them first, observe and observe the market, and then gradually develop.

Zhou Zhi naturally has no more mood to pay attention to the textile workshop now, and he is very relieved to hand it over to his brother-in-law.

Seeing that it is about to be August 15, the rest of the days are not only reading, but also preparing for the wedding. The wedding must be grand, which is not only a reflection of his own status, but also a kind of respect for Xiao Nizi Kou Peihan.

Yes, how many weddings can you have in your life? This is extremely important to both Zhou Zhi and Kou Peihan, and it will be their good memories in the future.

Those who should be invited should write out invitations and ask Qi Yanwu to send them out. All kinds of items that should be prepared should naturally be carefully selected and procured everywhere.

It was July 29, the sky was gray, and the weather was unusually hot, as if it was holding back a heavy rain.

Speaking of which, this year's rain is much sparse compared to previous years. In June and July of previous years, there was a rain every once in a while, so that the seedlings in the fields could be well watered and bring hope for a bumper harvest to the people.

But this year, since the start of summer, it seems that there has only been one drizzle, and the ground does not seem to be wet. At this time, it is the time when corn and rice are raised, but there is no rain, the fields are almost cracking, and the leaves of the seedlings are even more shriveled.

Zhou Zhi originally wanted to go to Qingdu County to buy some supplies today, but seeing that the weather was not good, he didn't go out, and simply picked up a book in the study to read.

Not long after he sat down, Qi Yanwu suddenly broke in and said with surprise on his face, "Brother Zhou Zhi, the female head catcher is here!" ”

Qi Yanwu once fought with the female head catcher Tie Feihua once, and he didn't know each other, especially when he saw that Zhou Zhi respected the female head catcher Tie Feihua very much, he also revered Tie Feihua very much.

Sister Tie Feihua came suddenly, Zhou Zhideng was overjoyed, but he hadn't seen her for some days, and Zhou Zhi hurriedly came out of the study.

The door of the Zhou family was open, and Tie Feihua was leading a dark horse to stand in the courtyard. Her wonderful eyes looked around the courtyard. Zhou Zhi hurriedly stepped forward and said happily, "I didn't expect my sister to come today, I really don't know what kind of fragrant wind blew my sister to our Zhou family." ”

Tie Feihua was dressed in green, her appearance was still so handsome and attractive, she exuded a heroic spirit, smiled at Zhou Zhi, and said, "Little brother Zhou Zhi, you are getting better and better at talking, this is not the same if you pass the exam!" ”

Qi Yanwu stepped forward and hurriedly took the horse away from Tie Feihua's hand and went to the stable to drink and feed.

Zhou Zhi smiled and welcomed Tie Feihua into the living room.

When Zhou He, the mother-in-law, saw a guest arrive, came out to see Tie Feihua, and then went to boil water and make tea.

Tie Feihua sat down in the living room, still with a smile on her face, and said, "Speaking of which, the slave family secretly came to your Zhou family a few days ago to see it, but the Zhou family is a poor family and dilapidated!" It's only been two months, and there has been such a change, which really makes the slave family envious! ”

A few days ago, Zhou Zhi went to Baoding Mansion to participate in the Taoist test, because he was worried that his family would be harmed by Yang Jinshan and Xie Dingtian, he begged Tie Feihua to keep an eye on Yang Tong in Qingdu County. Tie Feihua restrained Yang Tong, and the Zhou family was relatively much safer.

But Zhou Zhi didn't expect Tie Feihua to be so attentive, and he actually came to his house to secretly protect him, and he couldn't help but be grateful to Tie Feihua in an instant. Zhou Zhi hurriedly stood up and respectfully bowed to Tie Feihua to thank him.

Tie Feihua's face sank slightly, and she feigned anger and said, "The slave family has already told you that since you are friends with the slave family, the slave family will definitely help you with all their might.

If you are always like this, the slave family will leave immediately! ”

It is not easy to be a confidant in life, Zhou Zhi and Tie Feihua are just gentlemen's friends, in fact, they have not had much contact, but Tie Feihua cares for herself so much, which makes Zhou Zhi even more moved.

But as Tie Feihua said just now, since they are friends, there is no need to be polite. So Zhou Zhi laughed awkwardly a few times and didn't say more.

However, Tie Feihua must keep this kindness to himself in his heart, and find a way to repay it in the future.

Tie Feihua smiled again, "You won the little three yuan, I can't say that my sister will take advantage of your light in the future!" Cluck!

Besides, my sister heard that you are going to get married on August 15, and the girl is the daughter of the Kou family in Tang County, and my sister is even more happy to hear it, and my sister congratulates you! ”

For such a hearty and sincere blessing, Zhou Zhi gladly accepted.

Tie Feihua paused slightly, and then her face suddenly became serious, and she glanced at Zhou Zhi a few times before continuing, "Brother Zhou Zhi, have you ever heard the rumors about you and Li Yuanyuan, a geisha in Gaochang Town?" ”

Zhou Zhi nodded slightly.

The rumors of Zhou Zhi and Li Yuanyuan seem to have passed for a while, and not many people have actually mentioned them these days. After all, rumors have been around for a while. However, Zhou Zhi has been paying close attention to the people who spread rumors behind him and ruined his reputation.

The person behind it is too hateful, and Zhou Zhi will not swallow this mouthful of breath easily. However, after secretly investigating for so many days, I found nothing. I only know that the rumor started in the Shili Piaoxiang Restaurant in Gaochang Town, but I don't know who did it.

Sure enough, Tie Feihua asked, "Brother Zhou Zhi, do you know who came up with this rumor?" ”
