Chapter 1225 Slap in the face
Having food in hand makes people feel much more at ease than having money in hand.
Although the Zhou family felt sorry for the impending loss of Feizhuang, Zhou Guo's worries were also justified. Such a huge gold mountain was beyond their ability to control. Even if this generation could protect it, what about the next generation and the next generation after that?
Moreover, if I have too many things in my hands, I am afraid that even the next generation will not be able to keep them. It is not easy to be the richest man in the world.
Li said, "You are right. Our family has so many things that can make money now, and we don't need this one. Since it is of no benefit to our family to hold it in your hands, just give it away."
Everyone nodded, but in fact they only felt uncomfortable for a while.
The next day, everyone was as normal as before and continued to do what they were doing.
Zhou Guo observed carefully and found that they were really not feeling uncomfortable. It seemed that they just felt sorry for what happened yesterday night. This was a fertile farm that earned tens of millions of dan of grain every year.
She couldn't figure it out, so she went to find the old man.
The old man said, "Do you think everyone is like you, knowing everything and having handled everything? You forgot that you built this Feizhuang by yourself. From top to bottom of the family, only Zhou Gu took over some things, but he only stayed in the north and only went to Yunzhou this year.
To you, it was a lucrative farm that could earn tens of millions of dan of grain every year. You handled those bags of grain, but your mother and the others never saw it from beginning to end. In their minds, tens of millions of dan is still a lot of dan, and it doesn't make a big difference. It's just a number that's given away, and it's okay to feel uncomfortable for a while, but can you still lose your appetite and sleep?"
The Zhou family is now one of the most prominent families in the north. Even without Fei Zhuang, they can still make a lot of money every year with the remaining things at home, so everyone is optimistic.
Zhou Guo suddenly realized, "Well, it's better this way. I haven't had it before, so I will be more calm when I lose it."
Li sighed privately and said to Zhou Mai and the others, "Don't show any emotion in front of her. Feizhuang was built by her own hands. She worked so hard in the past few years and forgot to eat and sleep to finally make it so big. In the blink of an eye, it will become someone else's property.
Although she said nice things, she must be more upset than any of us. You must not say anything you shouldn't say in front of her, remember?"
Everyone nodded, "Mom, we get it. If we give this thing away, Guoguo will feel worse than us. This was made by her."
After saying this, Zhou Guo breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn't go anywhere in the following days and just stayed at home.
The messages from outside kept floating towards her home like snowflakes, but she didn't answer any of them. She finally came back, but would have to leave again soon. She just wanted to be with her family.
The old man asked, "Is it appropriate for you not to go to any of these houses?"
Zhou Guo was holding a cup of tea in the corridor, admiring the orchid he had dug from the mountain. It was in full bloom at this time, and the fragrance was refreshing. Hearing this, he said without turning his head, "What's inappropriate? Do I have to entertain them with my current status? If I want to, I have to go. They are not qualified."
Apart from anything else, she was at least a fourth-rank general with a military position, and she still had some freedom in the north.
As a result, he was slapped in the face the next day.
She looked at the note in her hand, changed her clothes obediently, packed up, and fished out several large baskets of crabs from the pond. She collected some of the delicious food at home, loaded half a horse carriage, and was ready to go to Yunzhou.
The old man laughed at her, "I don't know which big shot needs a big shot like you to come forward. Didn't you say that these people in Yunzhou are not qualified?"
Li asked worriedly, "Who are you going to meet? It looks like that person is more powerful than you. You should be careful with your words and don't say anything you shouldn't."
Zhou Guo was silent. Of course he was more powerful than her. After the world was settled, he would be the master of the East Palace and would be the next ruler of the world. Of course, she had to curry favor with him.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I know what to say."
Pointing at the half-carriage of delicious food, he said, "Look at this carriage of delicious food, I brought them all for him. When have you ever seen me treat outsiders like this except for my family? Okay, I'm leaving now and will be back in two days."
The old man didn't go with them. He felt that his energy and spirit were not as good as before in recent years. He didn't have the energy to keep running around with them. It would be better for him to stop traveling and stay at home.
Li looked at their backs and said to the old man in confusion, "What the child said is true. Look at that half-horse carriage, and he also got two jars of your daughter's red wine. The person he met must be very important. I think it's either one of these high-ranking officials or the Xu family. Well, most likely it's the Xu family. Both families have recognized each other as relatives. Why doesn't this child take us to meet him?"
The old man swallowed the tea in his mouth with difficulty and hurried to his room.
When Li saw this, she hurried into the house.
After entering the house, he counted and found that there were indeed two jars of daughter's red wine missing. He slapped his thigh in anger and said, "This damn girl, she stole the wine from me. It would be fine if you could move one jar, but how could you bring yourself to move two jars? I only have a few jars!"
Zhou Mai and the others listened to the noise coming from the room, and a smile appeared on their faces. The gentleman was full of energy.
Zhou Guo happily took the half-carriage full of things and headed towards Yunzhou.
……
Xu Xiaobei stood at the gate of the general's mansion, watching Zhou Guo's carriage slowly approaching, followed by a group of personal soldiers, more than a hundred people, all of which were given to her by Xu Sibei.
He probably knew what this kid had experienced in the south, so it would be wise to take these people with him wherever he went. The Xu family had offended so many people and made so many enemies at this moment, so it would be impossible for them to act alone.
Zhou Guo opened the curtain, looked at the tall and graceful Xu Xiaobei, and waved his hand excitedly, "Brother, I'm here!"
Xu Xiaobei smiled.
Zhou Guo jumped down before the carriage had even stabilized. Xu Xiaobei said, "Be careful. Why are you so reckless?"
Zhou Guo said indifferently: "It's okay, big brother, come and see, I brought you half a car of delicious food, all made and grown at home."
The most important thing is that she also brought a big bag of chili peppers. She originally planned to stir-fry some ingredients and make a simmered hot pot at home in the evening. Now that Xu Xiaobei is here, she might as well bring them here to eat.
The curtain was opened, and there really was half a carriage of stuff. Xu Xiaobei's mouth corners lifted unconsciously, and he looked at Zhou Guo and smiled: "Thank you for remembering your big brother, I also prepared something for you."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Thank you very much. Thank you for preparing a gift for me despite your busy schedule."
She didn't ask what it was. She was happy with anything. In fact, she had lacked nothing these years. She could buy whatever she wanted, and she liked anything others gave her.
