I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 808 Weird
Compared to the calmness and restraint of Patriarch Zhou, the Zhou clan members outside were emotional. Although they could not enter the yard, they did not leave, but gathered in twos and threes to discuss.

The clan members are not all good, but they dare not touch the clan's anger because they are bound by the clan rules. Once they are abandoned by the clan, it will be difficult for them to move forward.

But they can't help but imagine that they are relatives of the Duke, and no one in Huizhou will dare to mess with the Zhou family in the future.

There are too many people coming to Zhoujia Village these days, including officials and families from Huizhou, as well as wealthy households such as nearby landlords.Except for the officials who wanted to seek the Zhou family to take the lead in supporting the government office, the other families who wanted to please were rejected by the patriarch.

For this reason, the patriarch and the elders specially opened the ancestral hall, and asked everyone to recite the family rules. Anyone who tarnishes the reputation of the Zhou clan, or who discredits the Duke, will be expelled from the clan.

Only then did they suppress a lot of wrong thoughts. This time the princess came back together, they were shocked by the huge escort team again, and they couldn't help but feel anxious.

It's a pity that the family rules have extinguished their minds. Those with crooked minds know how much they are. Now that the Zhou family has a big backer to develop rapidly, the family has a sacrifice field, and a school has been built. The benefits are real.

Once you leave the family, there is no such a good life.

Yang Xi and his wife chatted with the patriarch Zhou for a while, and the patriarch Zhou left. Zhou Yu felt a little disappointed, "I haven't been so respectful when I came back last time. Everything has changed after I changed my identity."

He has become the aloof existence of the Zhou clan, and everyone will only respect him.

Yang Xi pointed at himself, "I look even more out of place, and the patriarch doesn't dare to say a few words to me."

Zhou Yu compared with his wife, "You are worse than me."

Yang Xi was in a good mood, she had expected this would be the case, not to mention the Zhou clan, whom they had never been in contact with, they had been friends for a long time, since the two were sealed again, everyone had reservations about them.

The husband and wife are both in such a situation, not to mention Yang Xixuan, who has become the emperor, is extremely cold at the top, so Yang Xixuan cherishes the sincerity of their husband and wife.

The maid rearranged the house and replaced the supplies with the ones the two were used to. After a while, the house looked brand new.

In the evening, Patriarch Zhou invited the couple to dinner, and the couple didn't refuse, so they went to Patriarch Zhou's house.

The patriarch Zhou's house has been re-expanded. The house made of blue bricks is spacious and bright, and the dining room is not crowded at all. The patriarch Zhou carefully prepared a table of wine and dishes. More than a dozen dishes are all famous hometown dishes in Huizhou.

Yang Xi looked at her all the time, come on, waited for her to move her chopsticks first, and she didn't hesitate to pick up the chopsticks to taste the dishes. When she was in Shanghe Town, she had eaten Huizhou dishes made by Zhou Zheng's wife, and they tasted good. Today, she tasted Authentic Huizhou cuisine, the eyes can't help but light up.

Zhou Yu tasted it and said, "You asked the restaurant chef to make it?"

Patriarch Zhou nodded, "Our family doesn't have the skills of a chef."

The people live a hard life, and they save salt for daily use. How can they cook good food? Except for a few women who are gifted by God, most of the food cooked by women can only be eaten.

Zhou Yu took the initiative to mention Zhou Zheng, "He has already applied to return to the North, and next year is his assessment period. If he passes, he can come back."

Patriarch Zhou. "His family letter didn't mention it."

"I must have wanted to surprise you."

Patriarch Zhou was indeed pleasantly surprised and hesitated, "Will it affect his career?"

Does he know that his son's official career in the south is going well, so don't influence his official career just to return to the north.

Zhou Yu explained, "Northern states need competent officials, not only will it not affect Zhou Zheng, but the successful application this time will help his official career."

However, officials in the northern states are caught in the middle of involution. Officials in each state want to make achievements, and only those with outstanding achievements will be promoted exceptionally.

Patriarch Zhou hopes that his son will return to Huizhou to build his hometown, but unfortunately he can only think about it. It is impossible for his son to return to Huizhou. "Recently, the prefect of Huizhou came to visit me."

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows, "Why did he come here?"

Patriarch Zhou glanced at Zhou Yu, and the meaning was obvious, "The first is to confirm whether you will return to your ancestral home, and the second is to invite the Zhou family to take the lead."

Many families in Huizhou have survived, and their strength has been preserved. The government wants all the families to contribute, but it is a pity that the families that can survive the troubled times, they obediently handed over Yintian, and now the slippery ones are not willing to contribute.

Yang Xi asked, "Is there any project in Huizhou that needs to be contributed?"

Patriarch Zhou was also a little worried, "Huizhou has a good relationship with Yizhou, and Yizhou has trade with the grassland. The grassland needs fruits and vegetables that are easy to store. The magistrate wants to develop this area, so the government pays money to buy fruit trees and herbal medicines. We The family donates money and contributes to planting."

To put it simply, it is a waste of time, and the output of the fruit tree in the day has nothing to do with you.

Yang Xi and his wife looked at each other, Huizhou is also short of manpower, so the magistrate put his idea on the families.

The patriarch paused and continued: "Some families want to buy fruit seedlings and herbs from the government office, but the government office has not responded."

Zhou Yuxin said that the government office would not sell it to the families, but would sell it to the common people.

The prefect of Huizhou wants to have orchards, which shows that the prefect of Huizhou wants to open canned and preserved fruit workshops. These things are very popular in the winter on the grassland.

Tsk tsk, this means that Huizhou has Yizhou as its support, and the two states are close to each other, which saves transportation costs and ensures healthy profit development. Bozhou does not have this convenience.

After Yang Xi and his wife went back to rest, they had already thought about how to help their ancestral home, and Huizhou really took advantage of too much.

Clan head Zhou got Zhou Yu's letter of approval, and he began to select people from the clan. Not everyone in the clan can enter the school, and those who are old have already given up their minds about the imperial examination.

Therefore, there is a lot of labor in the family, and the family has no shortage of cattle and donkeys. The farming in Zhoujia Village has long since ended, and now the cattle can also be taken out to transport fruit seedlings and herbal medicines for planting.

The next day, Yang Xi and his wife got up at Chen Shi, they washed up and left the village. They wanted to see the conditions of the fields in the village.

The fields in Zhoujia Village are well cultivated, which shows that Zhou Zheng and others often send things to the family.

Yang Xi wiped her muddy hands with a handkerchief. She came to the side of the ditch. The water flow in the ditch was not strong. "It's not easy to dig this ditch."

Zhou Yu handed the washed handkerchief to his daughter-in-law, "Well, only Zhoujia Village has dug a canal nearby."

Yang Xi, "There are many strangers in the clan."

Zhou Yu said in a low voice: "Clan chief Zhou wants to turn the Zhou family village into a town."

"I can't blame the patriarch for having this idea. A village is indeed too small."

The village also needs a foreign household registration, otherwise the whole village will have the same surname, and it will be troublesome to marry in the future.

The two of them walked to the entrance of the village. Yang Xi felt that someone was watching them secretly. This time, he found someone watching her. Two young couples were standing in the distance.

A woman shrank behind her husband in embarrassment. Yang Xi didn't recognize the two young men, but Zhou Yu had the impression, "The grandson of the three clans' hometown, I was single last time when I came back. This is a marriage and a wife."

Yang Xi couldn't help but take another look, the little daughter-in-law still lowered her head, are they so scary?She always feels a little weird!
