After hearing this, Li Yu also felt that this was the case. The people above thought that they did not think about the court and the people. The people who were forced to lose their way by this natural and man-made disaster had no choice but to take risks in the end.

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia and said with a smile: "So you should also learn more about farming. You will also be an official in the future! If you can't even distinguish wheat seedlings from leeks, how can you serve the people?"

"Yu'er, I'll be fine as long as I have you." Zhou Jia hugged Li Yu, pecked her red lips, and smiled like a cat stealing fish.

Li Yu nodded at Zhou Jia's forehead, bared his teeth and looked at his triumphant look, "Xiao Xi, you are just a pervert."

Zhou Jia hugged Li Yu and smiled proudly, "Xiao Yu'er, you are my wife. I am only lustful towards you and only willing to be lustful towards you."

Li Yu saw Zhou Jia's eyes shining, and quickly pushed him away, "It's getting late, and we have a banquet tomorrow morning. You should go back and rest."

Zhou Jia nodded reluctantly, "Yeah! You should have a rest too!"

Li Yu sent Zhou Jia to the door and watched him return home before closing the courtyard door and resting.

The next day, Zhu Zhencheng from the town, several squires and villagers came. Even old man Hu got the news from nowhere and came to the village with chickens and ducks to congratulate him.

When Old Man Hu saw the handsome and handsome Zhou Jia, he nodded secretly in his heart. He was worthy of being Miss Li's fiance. They were a match made in heaven.

The Zhou and Li families, as well as the villagers who helped, had been busy all day. The banquet was finally over. Zhou Jia saw off the last guests and sat in the yard with the villagers to chat.

The old village chief happily said to Zhou Jia: "Mr. Zhou, when will you leave for Kyoto to attend the Spring Festival?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Jia with hope, thinking that Fengming Village was about to produce a Jinshi master.

"I want to go to Kyoto after I am fully prepared. Besides, the world has not been very peaceful in the past two years, so I will wait until next spring before going!" Zhou Jia said to the old village chief.

"Is the drought over in Qingzhou not over yet?"

"Not yet!..." Zhou Jia picked up the news he heard in Tongzhou and told everyone what he could say.

After hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and thanked Li Yu and Zhou Jia, "Mr. Zhou, Xiaoyu, fortunately we came out with you two and led us to live a good life. Now our life is better than in Xishan Village." I don’t know how much better it is.”

The two smiled politely, "You can't say that, it's your decision."

After everyone was polite again, they said goodbye and went home to rest.

After Butcher He arrived home, he said to Mr. Huang: "Mr. Zhou is now the master of civil affairs. I think we can just agree to the marriage between Xiaoyu and Ruyi! There is no one in this world, and good people are not as good as the servants of the official family." .Besides, Xiaoyu and Mr. Zhou are kind people and will not treat our Xiaoyu badly. When Xiaoyu marries Ruyi, she will be the wife in charge."

Huang looked at Butcher He stubbornly, "But when I thought about Xiaoyu marrying a servant of that girl's family, Xiaoyu, I felt uncomfortable. At first...

Butcher He was so angry that he slammed the table, "Back then, you looked down on her! Look at her ability, even a man can't compare to it. Let me ask you, which one is more important, your face or the well-being of your children? It’s important, why are you so confused?”

Seeing that Butcher He was really angry, Mrs. Huang muttered, "Can you let me think about it carefully?"

Butcher He stood up and looked at Mrs. Huang, "Huh! I'll give you a few days, you'd better think it through, otherwise I'll just ask someone to propose marriage."

After the rapeseed and winter wheat were planted, the weather became colder and colder. Li Yu and Zhou Jia began to hire people to make woolen products.

After the shop added wholesale business, all the people in the village came on board. Even the men took over the work of making cloth shells and washing and pulling wool. The women in the village still couldn't keep up with the speed of rushing the goods.

Li Yu renovated the alley adjacent to the Zhou family to create a processing place, gathered all the women and girls in Hujia Village, and after unified training, he gave them simple fabrics such as woolen pants, scarves, and socks, and he Together with Zhaodi and others, I started trying to make some women's bags to sell.

Women and girls in Hujia Village cherish this opportunity to make money. The men in the village take over all the work at home, allowing their wives and daughters to work and earn money in the Li family without worry.

Shopkeeper Su's wool was delivered to Fengming Village every few days, and the goods were shipped in a steady stream. The business was so prosperous that it aroused the jealousy of many people. In addition, Zhou Jia was the newly minted Jie Yuanlang. He was handsome and tall, and he was a future Jinshi. There were more and more people who were interested in him, and the invitations were all sent to Fengming Village.

Before the Winter Solstice Festival, Zhou Jia received another invitation from Tongzhou. Zhou Jia took the invitation to the workshop and looked at the new bags made by Li Yuzheng. Some of the bags were like a semicircle, and some were just like a circle. Not much bigger than the palm of your hand, there are two thin cylindrical bags, and some have a rabbit that looks a bit like a puppy embroidered on it, with crooked eyes and a red scarf around it. No matter how you look at it, it is interesting.

Some of them were cut into the shape of flowers from cloth and sewn on the bag. Li Yu looked up and saw Zhou Jia standing in front of the chopping board with a smile, and said with a smile: "You are here! Did Jixiang buy the fabric I wanted?"

"I bought it," Zhou Jia pointed to the bag on the chopping board, "Is this the new bag you made? It looks so unique."

Li Yu picked up one and held it in his hand, "Does it look good?"

"They look good. The ladies and ladies will definitely like these bags."

Li Yu then said to Zhao Di: "Cousin, just follow the patterns I drew for you. Zhou Jia and I will go look at the fabrics."

Zhao Di glanced at the two of them, pursed her lips and smiled, "Cousin, you go ahead! I will do a good job."

Zhou Jia held Li Yu's hand and said with a smile: "Jixiang came back with a letter and said that he had signed a contract with the cloth merchant. From now on, these coarse cloths, fine cloths and jacquard fabrics, some of which can be sold for one or two hundred yuan cheaper."

"That can save a lot of money." Li Yu said with a smile.

The two of them arrived at the warehouse while talking. Li Yu saw the fabrics and was very satisfied with the colors. He sent a few pieces to the workshop and gave them to Zhao Di before returning home.

Zhou Jia took out an invitation and said, "This is an invitation from Governor Xia of Tongzhou Prefecture, inviting me to his home for a banquet to appreciate the chrysanthemums. Although the governor is only a ninth-grade official, the King of Hell has always been a troublemaker. If we don’t go, we’re afraid he’ll find trouble against us.”

Li Yu looked at him and smiled: "Isn't he trying to catch you as his son-in-law?"

Zhou Jia pulled Li Yu and said, "Yu'er, come with me! He can't rob me by force when he sees that I have a wife!"

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia's arrogant look and patted him, then smiled and said, "It won't work this time. It's going to snow. The wheat has to cover the soil and the workshop is busy. Let's go together later. You go Tongzhou will bring some winter clothes to Ah Qing and some gifts to Shen Wu. If something really happens, they will be well-informed."

Zhou Jia had no choice but to agree, "Okay, I'll go pack up and then set off. Don't be too tired at home, and don't go to the mountains as it's cold because it's not safe."

Li Yu saw Zhou Jia off. He looked at the sky and felt that the weather this year was even colder than last year, and he was secretly worried.
