Chapter 1261 The whole family goes to the capital
"They have their own way. Where can you buy it? Why, chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, and fish can't feed you anymore, and you still want to eat delicacies from the mountains and the sea?"
This thing is not cheap, how can ordinary people afford it?
"That's not what I meant. I was thinking of buying some for my family to try during the Chinese New Year, but I couldn't find any."
Brothers Zhou Dacai and Zhou Dafu held wine glasses and toasted everyone. They changed into new clothes. Although they were a bit big, the material of the clothes was so rich that this little bit of ill-fitting could easily be overlooked and not noticed.
The two brothers spoke calmly, tenaciously and powerfully. It was obvious that they were part of the Zhou family. They looked very much like one another, and they looked completely different from when they came back yesterday. They even looked like the eldest master.
Someone sighed, "These two brothers have been out there for so many years, and no one knows what they are doing. When they come back and see how wealthy their family is, they don't seem to have much reaction. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do that."
"Hey, how do you know they didn't react? If my family was so rich, and my daughter and brothers were powerful, I would be able to hold my head high to the sky. Who would I be afraid of in this village? I can be more generous and calm than them!"
How these people envied the two brothers. After staying outside for so many years, they could live such a good life as soon as they came back. They did not experience any of the hardships that the Zhou family had experienced when they became rich.
Take Zhou Guo for example. She was so amazing. But in the first few years after she came to power, she was away from home all year round. They often saw her riding a horse out of the village in the cold winter when it was icy and snowy outside.
Year after year, I am busy outside and even when I come back, I can only stay for a few days.
How many men like them can endure such hardship, let alone their daughters?
After one round of feasting was over, people from other villages came.
These people were the old village head and his entourage. When they heard that the two brothers had returned, they got up early in the morning and rushed over here.
When the two sides met, they were filled with emotion.
The two brothers are very popular in the village and have many good friends. After not seeing each other for so many years, they naturally have a lot to talk about.
That night, many people did not go home and stayed at Zhou's house for the night.
This is a rare opportunity to curry favor with the Zhou family. Zhou Dacang is now a general, and Zhou Guo has also built up such a large business. Even if the Zhou family can give them a little bit of support, it will be enough for them to live on for the rest of their lives. They didn't have this opportunity in the past, so they must seize this opportunity.
The Zhou family was bustling for three days, and it was not until the fourth day that people from other villages began to return home one after another.
But the Zhou family could not rest in peace. With the return of the two brothers, the Zhou family had a man in charge, and it would be more convenient for villagers to visit them in the future.
Before, most of the people who came to the house were women in the village. Zhou Mai and her friends had to go to school, and Zhou Gu had to do business, so men would not come easily.
With these two brothers, the Zhou family's house has been busy all day long since the banquet was set up.
When they have nothing to do in winter, they are happy to come over to chat and listen to what the two brothers have experienced outside over the years.
Seeing that people kept coming, Li said, "When can you go and see the old headman? He is old and has been bedridden for many years. In the past two years, he doesn't even recognize people. He was counting on Guoguo and Dacang to take them to bring his parents back."
Buried in the wilderness, it will ultimately be a lonely grave.
The old headman couldn't even get out of bed, so when the Zhou brothers came back to set up the banquet, the old headman naturally couldn't come.
It is reasonable for both of them to go.
Zhou Dafu said, "Of course, we will go tomorrow. I think we should wait until the two children come back to discuss the matter of moving the grave. What do you think, second brother?"
This is a big deal. Both children have important status now. It would be best if they were the ones to make the connection.
Those who left also had light on their faces.
Zhou Dacai said, "Okay, but I don't know when they can come back. They probably won't be available for a while, and I'm afraid Lao Li Zheng can't wait that long."
They had been in the military camp for so many years and didn't know much about war, but when they left, even if they were fools, they knew something about the situation.
After all, this is a big deal and the two of them can't decide it.
They could only go find the old village head and ask Wang Fugui and others to go with them. They gathered together to discuss what to do about this matter and whether to wait or not.
When people from all the villages received the news, they went to the home of the old village chief in a mighty procession.
It was icy and snowy, and everyone had nothing to do, so they all gathered together at the old village head's house.
The house of the head of the village is considered big in their village, and so many people can sit together even if they squeeze together.
After all these years, this is the first time we are so neatly arranged.
Lao Lizheng was carried out and was sleeping on the kang. Although he could not speak, he could still hear. His cloudy eyes lit up a little when he saw the two brothers, and he opened his mouth, obviously recognizing them.
Zhou Dacai said, "Village head, we two brothers are back to see you. You have worked hard. You led the villagers to the north with great difficulty and finally escaped. You are a great hero. We brothers are grateful to you! Everyone should be grateful to you!"
Zhou Dafu said, "Village head, we are here today to discuss the relocation of the grave."
Upon hearing this, Lao Li Zheng's eyes brightened even more, and he kept on moaning. He raised his hand with difficulty, pointing at the two of them, not knowing what to say.
The eldest son of the village head was surprised and said, "Dad, you are fine now. Do you recognize people?"
Lao Lizheng didn't even look at him.
A group of people discussed it for a whole day. Every family had lost someone when the bandits were fought, and some families even had people die. Naturally, they knew that the money for relocating the graves was left behind that year and was in the hands of the old village head.
We have enough money, so we can set off as soon as spring comes.
But everyone still wanted to wait for Zhou Guo and Zhou Dacang to come back. Their identities were different now, especially Zhou Dacang, who was a general. With him around, the relocation of the graves would be much smoother. The general had such a powerful aura that not only the living but even the dead would respect and fear him.
After this discussion, everyone decided to wait for the two to come back.
No one cares whether the old village chief can still hold on.
Zhou Dacai looked towards Lao Lizheng, only to see that he had closed his eyes again. He didn't know whether he heard it or not.
The grandson of the old village head said, "Uncle, my grandfather likes Sister Guoguo the most, he is willing."
Zhou Dacai was stunned, then nodded and said, "It's decided then. I'll write to them later."
But before their letter could be sent out, a letter arrived in their hands via express horse from the capital.
As soon as the family received the letter, they began to prepare and packed up to go to the capital. Since Xu Xiushan had become the emperor, they could not delay and had to go even in the snow and ice.
The coronation ceremony in the capital is about to begin.
……
Zhou Guo was wearing a robe with a five-clawed dragon painted on it. The robe was wide and large, with layer upon layer. When he wore it, it was much heavier than his usual clothes.
Xu Sibei standing by was wearing a nine-feathered crown on his head. No one knew how much it weighed, but when he wore it on his head, the beads didn't shake at all.
The same is true for Xu Yubei.
She looked down at herself and asked curiously, "Why am I wearing the same clothes as you? Shouldn't the eldest princess wear princess clothes?"
