Chapter 81: Family Gathering
But since Mr. Gongyang refused to explain in detail, he probably felt a little embarrassed. After all, this old man who was well-read at that time had just fled from Wanbei to Luyang, and I think he was a little embarrassed at that time.
It's strange. If it were the past, Mr. Zhou would have said something when he heard someone praise his son-in-law. But this time he rarely refuted Mr. Gongyang, but just stroked his beard and said lightly: "Hmph, he is only kind, otherwise how could I tolerate marrying my daughter..."
Obviously, the ‘he’ he mentioned refers to his son-in-law, the Marquis of Luyang Township.
Hearing the word "marrying" in the old man's mouth, the corner of Luyang Township Hou couldn't help but twitched slightly.
My Zhao family is also a village marquis who has two thousand households... to marry?
He muttered.
And at this moment, he suddenly felt a little excited, and his mother-in-law Zhou Zhang, who was so shocked that she was talking to him, asked in confusion: "Gongyu, what's wrong?"
From the side, Zhou also smiled and said with concern: "Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at the gentle Zhou family, the Hou of Luyang Township lowered his head and glanced at his waist, shook his head slightly.
As if he had noticed something, Zhou Zhang glanced at his daughter and blamed him: "Son, don't bully Gongyu honestly... Are you watching the child?"
Zhou turned his head and looked at her, and then he found the quiet girl sitting next to her, and was curiously aiming at her hand.
"laugh."
Perhaps in front of both parents, even though he already has two ten-year-old sons, Zhou seems to be still a little woman in character.
Here the mother-in-law was chatting with her son-in-law and daughter, while over there, the old man continued to chat with Mr. Gongyang, and to put it bluntly, he just wanted to know Mr. Gongyang's evaluation of his two sons.
When evaluating Zhao Yin, Mr. Yang's face couldn't hide his satisfaction. Until he talked about his second son Zhao Yu, the old man hesitated a little.
I have to say that although Mr. Gongyang still teaches the eldest son Zhao Yin as usual these days, he has heard of the second son Zhao Yu, including the recent Marquis of Luyang Township who took his second son Zhao Yu out to do business many times.
Not to mention Cao An, Zhang Ji, and Ma Cheng, they would occasionally tell the other servants and guards of Zhao Yu's "great achievements" these days in a show-off tone. Over time, Mr. Gongyang naturally heard about some of the major things Zhao Yu did.
I won’t mention the past events of offering labor-for-relief. What surprised Mr. Gongyang the most was that Zhao Yu used military farming and the two military market strategies to convince Wang Shangde, which made the latter change his idea of collecting money and grain in Luyang County. Even Mr. Gongyang couldn’t help but say that the military farming and military farming and the two military farming strategies were the two military farming strategies.
It is these things that have greatly changed Mr. Yang's impression of the second son Zhao Yu, and his evaluation in his heart has gradually improved. He even felt a little worried about the eldest son Zhao Yin.
After all, he also admitted that although the eldest son Zhao Yin was also smart, he seemed to be inferior to his brother Zhao Yu.
Thinking of this, he carefully evaluated Zhao Yu and said: "The second young master nowadays is smart and mature, and it is really hard for people of his age to reach. He will definitely be able to make a name for himself in the future and shine on the Zhao family."
Hearing this, Zhao Yu was a little surprised that Mr. Gongyang gave him such a high evaluation, and Mr. Zhou was even more happy.
For people of the old man’s age, money and other things are just external things, and family affection is what he values.
Seeing this, the Hou of Luyang Township hurriedly said, "Since that's the case, the son-in-law will ask Zhang Chun to arrange this matter tomorrow..."
Hearing this, Zhou asked in confusion: "Let Zhang Chun arrange it? My husband won't go?"
"I... I have something to do." The Marquis of Luyang Township winked at Zhou: "That's the matter, have you forgotten?"
"oh oh."
Under the hint of her husband's eyes, Zhou nodded suddenly: "That thing...wasn't that thing cancelled?"
She blinked at her husband.
Looking at the stunned look of the Hou in Luyang Township, Zhao Yu couldn't help but want to laugh.
"It seems that I, the son, are the only ones who can help you out..."
Shaking his head, Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Dad, when are you planning to invite merchants from Luyang and Ye County? I think you can't delay this matter any longer."
Hearing his son's words, the Luyang Township Hou, who was already almost desperate, suddenly felt refreshed.
