Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11565

It seemed that they were still some distance away from Zuojiazhuang where the business was being handled. Zuo Junmo was already waiting on the roadside with his men.

Luo Fengtang got off the horse, and Yang Ruoqing also got out of the carriage.

After the three children greeted Zuo Junmo, Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing came to Zuo Junmo. Luo Fengtang clasped his fists and said, "Brother Zuo, long time no see!"

Zuo Junmo also bowed in return, "Brother Fengtang, how are you?"

Yang Ruoqing waited for the two men to exchange a few pleasantries before stepping forward to greet Zuo Junmo.

"Brother Zuo, you sent Jinling to pick us up in Wanghai County, why did you bring someone else to pick us up? This is too grand. It makes us feel embarrassed, don't you think?"

Luo Fengtang nodded: "Qing'er is right, Brother Zuo, you are so grand, we are a little flattered!"

"Look at you two, what kind of foreign words are you talking about!" Zuo Junmo smiled at them, with a hint of kindness and familiarity in his tone of reproach.

"I haven't been here for many years. Not only Jinling and I, but my old mother has also been looking around and asking questions at home. She has sent several groups of people to the village entrance to look around."

"Our whole family is looking forward to you coming over to play!"

"Haha, it's the same for us. We haven't come here to play for many years. We've been missing it, but we've been delayed by a bunch of mundane things. Oh, how ashamed!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Zuo Junmo said: "It's a rare trip this time, I must play for a few more days!"

"That is required!"

"Dad, Aunt Qing'er and the others are busy on their way and haven't had lunch yet." Zuo Jinling walked over quickly and said to Zuo Junmo.

Zuo Junmo was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Yang Ruoqing and the others meant.

He raised his hand and patted Luo Fengtang on the shoulder: "Let's go home first, and then we can talk properly when we get home!"

"Feng Tang, please!"

"Brother Zuo, please!"

"Oh, you two grown men are too humble when you meet each other, aren't you? Since neither of you is willing to go first, let me go!"

Yang Ruoqing squeezed in among them with a smile and walked ahead.

Behind him, the two men made eye contact and smiled at each other kindly. Zuo Junmo made a gesture of invitation to Luo Fengtang. This time, Luo Fengtang nodded slightly and followed behind Yang Ruoqing.

Zuo Jinling and Luo Baobao, each holding a little baby, were surrounded by the servants and housekeepers of the Zuo family, talking and laughing as they headed towards the entrance of Zuojia Village.

When Zuo Junmo and his companions set out for Zuojiazhuang, the housekeeper had already sent the clever servants to Zuojiazhuang to report the news to Old Madam Zuo.

Soon, Yang Ruoqing and the others arrived at Zuojiazhuang.

I haven't been here for several years, and Zuojiazhuang today is very different from what it was a few years ago.

The roads and houses in the village have been clearly planned. Zuo Junmo has now officially become the owner of Zuojia Village. All the villagers in this village are tenants and farmhands of Zuo Junmo's family. The hundreds of acres of paddy fields, hillsides, woods, several ponds, orchards, and places for raising chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep surrounding Zuojia Village... are all Zuo Junmo's properties.

For Zuo Junmo and the Zuo family, these are just the tip of the iceberg of his industrial empire. In his own words, these things are just kept in the manor for his retirement, leisure and to kill time.

His real industries are all over Daqi, including restaurants, silk, medicinal materials, ceramics, mining... There is nothing he does not dabble in. At the same time, he is also a descendant of the Mohist school, proficient in various ingenious mechanisms, and has made friends from all walks of life in the world.

He also has extensive connections in the officialdom.

Yang Ruoqing sometimes talked about Zuo Junmo with Luo Fengtang, and even Luo Fengtang himself had to admit that if Zuo Junmo focused on one thing, he would definitely be a leader in that field.

Zuo Junmo is a man of both civil and military talents, and is full of knowledge. If he had joined the army, he would probably have become a cavalry general.

If you study literature, even if you cannot pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar in one go, the fact that you are the top scholar often depends on whether the emperor likes you.

However, if Zuo Junmo had pursued a career in literature and taken the imperial examination, it would have been easy for him to pass the two imperial examinations.

But Zuo Junmo was neither a writer nor a soldier, nor was he a real businessman. He was a free-spirited person who was interested in everything and wanted to get involved in everything, but always stopped at the right time.

No matter what, Zuo Junmo is definitely a person that both Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang admire, and he is also a very powerful person.

……

"Madam, you are still the same as before, and your spirits are getting better and better!"

In the Zuo family compound, Yang Ruoqing tightly held Madam Zuo's hand and gave her sincere praise.

It seemed like the first time I met Madam Zuo, she was in this state.

More than ten years have passed, Yang Ruoqing is already over thirty, but Old Madam Zuo is still the same Old Madam Zuo.

"Grandma Zuo, are you a great immortal who has the secret of maintaining youth?" Luo Baobao was also surprised, because she still remembered the scene when she came to Zuojiazhuang a few years ago and saw this kind-looking old lady.

A few years have passed, and he is still the same, with no more white hair, and his complexion is rosy and he speaks with full energy.

Old Madam Zuo was so happy with the continuous praise from Yang Ruoqing and Luo Baobao that she couldn't stop smiling. It was true that no matter what age a woman is, what she likes most is to hear others praise her for being young and not looking old.

"Once you guys come, I will be a few years younger!"

Old Madam Zuo let go of their hands and bent down to stroke Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan's little heads. "Wow, they are so delicate and beautiful, just like the dolls in New Year pictures. Keep them at my home. I will take them with me every day. These two beautiful babies are so precious..."

As soon as the two little ones saw Old Madam Zuo for the first time, they remembered what Yang Ruoqing had taught them on the road, and they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Old Madam Zuo to greet her, and spoke auspicious words in unison in their baby voices, which not only made Old Madam Zuo smile, but also won the hearts of a group of Zuo family servants nearby.

Who doesn’t like cute children?

At this time, hearing the loving words of Madam Zuo, Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "They just arrived, so they are still a little bit reserved. When they are cooked, they will be hardy. I am always annoyed by them at home."

Old Madam Zuo deliberately frowned at Yang Ruoqing: "You don't know how lucky you are. I am happy to have two precious babies at home. I am willing to look after them twelve hours a day!"

"Madam, you said that because you love them. You are really tough!"

"It's normal for boys to be tough. Boys should act like boys and be tough. I always tell my son Jinling not to be too boring. If he is too boring, he won't be able to get a girl in the future..."

"Ahem." Zuo Jinling blushed and subconsciously glanced at Luo Baobao out of the corner of his eye.

Silly girl Luo Baobao was totally unaware of the fluctuation in his eyes, and even when Old Madam Zuo teased him, she heartlessly winked at him.

This made Zuo Jinling even more embarrassed.

"Grandma, let's go inside and talk. Aunt Qing'er and the others are exhausted from the journey and haven't had lunch yet..."
