Chapter 826 1 The whole family is here
The secret that Zhou Guo from the Zhou family is the general's daughter is only known by the heads of the family. The children under them are not qualified to know such things. If everyone knew about it, disaster would befall them.
When the people present saw her outfit, their reactions varied.
Those who thought they knew the truth thought to themselves, "Don't you see who his father is? Can't he get a piece of fabric?" There must be a lot of such fabric in the general's mansion. How can they compare?
This dress seemed to make her identity even more clear. Everyone almost believed that she was the general's daughter. Otherwise, how could she have the material that they could not get?
Moreover, they didn't think that a peasant would be willing to spend so much money to buy expensive materials and make a set of clothes.
This child looks more like a wealthy family than those wealthy families. To be able to dress so elegantly, she can only be from a wealthy family herself and must have been influenced by her family since childhood.
……
The Zhou family has a separate shed, which is just to the left of the Yang family, and to the right of the Yang family is the Wang family.
Her eyebrows jumped. Can she be on the same level as the Wang family?
Is this a bit too much praise for her?
She casually glanced around, feeling the ambiguous looks coming from all directions, and was startled. Then she remembered that she had an invisible identity. She had to look at the face of the Buddha instead of the monk.
But why is she the only one in such a big shed?
Where was the old man invited to?
Just as I was thinking about it, Zhou Xing came with Yuan Ge'er.
She was surprised and asked, "Sister, you are here too?"
Yuan Ge'er obediently called her "Auntie". She smiled and took Yuan Ge'er's hand and said to Zhou Xing, "I was just about to ask, why am I the only one in our Zhou family's shed? And you just happened to come. Are you two here?"
Zhou Xing smiled and said, "Not only that, our family is here. They invited you here, and your family didn't forget about it. They are very thoughtful."
Sure enough, not long after, Li came with Wu Ya, Zhou Mai and others, and the Zhao family also followed them, so the two families came together.
Zhou Guo said: "Sure enough, they thought it through very comprehensively, and they really didn't leave out any of our family members."
In fact, small landlords like the Zhao family were not qualified to attend such an occasion, but because of the Zhou family's face, they were still invited. Naturally, there was a tent, but it was far away and at the end.
Old Master Zhao understood clearly and said cheerfully, "We don't have many family members anyway, so we can just squeeze in here. It will be more lively with more people."
The Zhou family was eager to do so.
Especially the old man in the next room, he really had no one to talk to here. When he saw Mr. Zhao coming and the Zhou family members coming, he was overjoyed.
The men are in the compartment next to it, and the women are in this compartment.
Zhou Guo greeted the elders of the Zhao family with a smile, then went next door to chat with Mr. Zhao and others for a few minutes before returning.
Madam Zhao looked at her outfit and said, "This outfit is really beautiful. I'll make one for our Yuan brother and his father later."
Old Mrs. Zhao squinted her eyes and took a look. "This material is different. I'm afraid it's precious."
Li explained, "This material is hard to come by. Our family only got one piece, and we used it all to make clothes for her. You know this child, she is always outside in the cold winter and hot summer. I will try my best to make her more comfortable. We can't let the child bear all the hardships alone, while we, a family, hide behind and enjoy a good life, right?"
The old lady nodded with deep feeling, "You are right. When the child's father was young, he had to go out even in the cold winter and hot sun. I can only cook and feed him the best food at home. Guo is a girl, so her health is even more important. You have to take good care of her. I still have two pieces of good fabric, which were saved by our old man when he was young. It happens that she and Yuan Ge'er each have one piece, which is also very suitable for wearing at this time."
Li declined hurriedly, "Madam, please keep it for yourself. How can we use your things? She has a lot of clothes. She has the most clothes in the family. If we need anything, we won't need hers."
The old lady said, "How can they be the same? What I gave her was not given to you."
Looking at Zhou Guo's upright back, he sighed, "This child has a hard time. She is so young but she is more manly than any other child."
Changing the subject, "But I envy her. I have been trapped in the backyard all my life, on a small piece of land, and have never seen what the outside world looks like. This child is amazing, she lives more like a man than a man. If Yuan Ge'er has a sister in the future, let her learn more from her aunt and let her go out and see the world, instead of being like us, hanging around in the backyard all day."
Li's open mouth closed again.
In fact, she didn't really understand why the woman was trapped in the backyard and couldn't get out?
In their family and village, as long as the women have the ability, they can go out. Some women in the village sell pine mushrooms better than their men. Later, gradually, women became the head of the family.
Mrs. Zhao said to Li, "I have some good fox furs. I'll find them later and you can make a cape for Guo."
In fact, their family has benefited a lot from the Zhou family in recent years.
After all, as in-laws, they share weal and woe. They also hope that Zhou Guo will do better and better. Only when Zhou Guo is doing well can they do well too.
Li said, "No need. We still have leather at home. The child is more particular about clothes than food."
Old Madam Zhao made the decision and said, "It's settled. We gave it to her, and you, as her mother, should be happy."
Li had no choice but to smile and thank him.
Zhou Guo, Wu Ya, Zhou Xing and others were sitting aside watching the show, which was almost about to begin.
Wu Ya had seen children in the village play Cuju before. There would be a game every few days in the wheat field, but this was the first time she had seen it played on horseback.
Ask Zhou Guo: "What is this called? Why is it different from what we play?"
Before Zhou Guo could say anything, Zhou Xing said, "Sister-in-law, this is called playing polo, which is quite different from Cuju. I have seen it once, and it was quite interesting."
There were also banquets at the homes of various landlords, and I had seen polo games like this several times.
Wu Ya nodded and looked at Zhou Guo, "Guo Guo, you can go and give it a try. You ride the horse so well."
Zhou Guo said, "I won't go. It's so hot. I'll die of heat if I go to play polo. I'd rather sit comfortably in the shed and eat ice cream while watching them."
There was an ice basin in the shed, but it was of little use in such hot weather.
Zhou Xing shouted, "It's about to start, it's about to start, look."
Today's game is divided into two games.
One for adults and one for children.
The first group to take the stage was the adults.
Wu Ya and Zhou Gu from the Zhou family are of the right age, but unfortunately neither of them knows how to do it.
Zhao Yang from the Zhao family came on the court. Although he was not an expert, he had fought in a few games and was much better than those who couldn't.
As soon as the game started, the scene became lively.
