MTL - Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty-v2 Chapter 1717 Chenglong Kuaishou

  Chapter 1717 Riding the dragon and quickly son-in-law

  At this time, the Zhou family is very lively!

   "The Wu family has a daughter, she is a lady, and her age is suitable."

   "There is a widow in the Zheng family. The man died the year before last... and she has two sons for nothing. If she married, it would be amazing..."

   Zhou's mother was a little overwhelmed by what she heard, and her eyes were already dazzled.

   I really understood the sentence that today is different from the past. In the past, I was worried about my son marrying a wife, but now I find that it is difficult not to marry a wife, and it is even more difficult to choose a daughter-in-law.

  She was flushed.

These matchmakers are all sharp-tongued. In order to make a match, they really praised the old lady to the sky: "You are a lucky person, look at Zhou Yi, this is really a remarkable person, alone... worth Go to three or four men. That's all right, you can read and write, isn't this a scholar who has read?"

Another person said: "There are many friends. It's not like that ordinary person. His usual knowledge is only as short as a ruler. He knows things and has a lot of knowledge. He writes a book and attracts merchants and friends. He is still in the city. Tsk tsk... I I heard people say...he still has a notebook, which is full of... what is the color of the army robes? Yay, ah, these are all people with great abilities, and you can enjoy the blessings in the future."

It's not unreasonable for Zhou Yi to become a sweet pastry. He is a good farmer, and he can do a lot of things by himself. When a woman gets married, she will never be hungry. If she can read and write, no one can fool her. Unlike other people, she is always in a daze. I don't know how many stupid things I have done in my life. I have a lot of knowledge and a wide range of interpersonal relationships. I heard that they were born and died together. With so many friends, where is there no food?

In the countryside, the vast majority of people used to eat porridge, but now they can barely eat rice and buy a few clothes for their wives and children. For most people, there is such a person. , can be called a supernatural power.

   It is rare that someone is not the young master. If this is the young master, the woman married in the past, and the family is wrong. Nine times out of ten, she will be a young man, and she will be bullied when she goes there. But after marrying Zhou Yi, she is a legal wife.

   Such a husband-in-law is really impossible to find even with a lantern.

Several cousins ​​of the Zhou family, few of whom could marry a wife, squatted at the door of Zhou Yi's house, spitting haha, and the brothers communicated with each other. When they heard the matchmaker talking about this girl, they nodded: " Xiuhong is good, Xiuhong is good, I heard it when I was going to the market, she is a good girl, but she is beautiful, tsk tsk..."

After hearing another matchmaker's words, she said again: "Widow Zheng is also very good. I heard that when her husband died, she left three brick and tile houses, which are very valuable. The two dolls she brought with her are not too small. Don't worry, in a few years, they will be able to go to the ground."

Their eyes were shining, and while discussing, they kept thinking in their minds, if they were Zhou Yi, which one should they choose, their eyes were confused, and then they felt a little sour in their hearts. At that time, because his father died, he always felt pitiful, especially when he was skinny before. People in the village said that he must be worthless in the future, not a good material for work, and he will starve to death sooner or later in a disaster year .

But how could I have imagined... the object of sympathy at the beginning, in the blink of an eye, turned into a remarkable and capable person in four villages and eight miles. No matter how he stood, sat, wrote, or did farm work, everything gave people a kind of feeling. This guy has a sense of promise.

   "I knew it earlier, I joined the army too."

   "Yes, I am definitely better than the third child in the army."

  A group of cousins ​​suddenly felt blood rushing up in their chests. They lived like the third child, and died tomorrow better than they are now.

   Zhou Yi went in, but he seemed to have no interest in marriage for the time being, and declined all the offers from the matchmakers. Afterwards, the matchmakers had no choice but to leave resentfully.

At this time, a brother of the Zhou family suddenly rushed out, stopped one of the matchmakers and said, "Then Widow Zheng...I think...I think...I think I might be suitable for her. I heard that she is twenty-seven or eighty-eight. ...I'm in my late thirties, and I don't have a daughter-in-law..."

The matchmaker looked him up and down with a critical gaze, but his eyes were like wheat awns, extraordinarily sharp, and his heart was burning because he got bored at Zhou Yi's house, so he sneered and said, "You take a piss." Take care of yourself, are you worthy? Go away, good dogs don't get in the way!"

  …

   Uncles are reserved.

  They are not like those juniors who ran to watch as soon as they heard the movement.

  But what happened in the village fell into their eyes and ears.

  They regretted that Zhou Yi turned down so many good marriages, and on the other hand, they couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in their hearts.

But at this time, Zhou Yi came to the door and said: "There are many bad fields in our village, and nothing can grow in these fields. We should grow some sweet potatoes. I checked, and these fields are the most suitable for planting. It’s sweet potatoes, but there are many kinds of sweet potatoes. There are seven or eight kinds of sweet potatoes at Tuntianwei. I’ve read the books carefully, and the quality of our soil... we need to go to Fucheng to buy a batch of sweet potato seedlings.”

   "Growing sweet potatoes?" Zhou Kang looked at Zhou Yi, but frowned and said, "Sweet potatoes are also good, but... they are not easy to store. Now everyone has rice to eat."

Since he deliberately came to talk about this matter, Zhou Yi had thought it over a long time ago, and said: "Potato leaves and sweet potatoes can be fed to pigs, you can eat them yourself, you can feed them to pigs, and you can buy some piglets. During festivals, butchering can lead to a good year, and it can also be refined into oil, which can be made into cured meat.”

Zhou Kang's eyes became brighter. He looked at Zhou Yi seriously, and said without hesitation: "I don't believe what other people say, but I believe what you say. Let's do it this way. Let's pool money together. You can buy it. Don’t let anyone in our village who is willing to breed be left behind.”

   Zhou Yi is always the busiest person in Murakami.

  Even when he was threshing, everyone liked to get closer to him and listen to him talk about military affairs.

   Zhou Yi has a lot of knowledge after all. Even if he wasn’t in the army, he was in the camp back then, because there were people from all over the world, and the customs and customs of each place are different, so he communicated with each other and knew too much in his stomach.

  Why there is a big lake in Jiangxi, called Poyang Lake. The water of the lake is really like the sea, endless. There are crabs in it. After autumn, the belly of the crab is full of fat.

  There is Wannian County in Xi'an, where the loess is all, and the Yellow River flows down from there.

  For all these insights, for ordinary people who are only tens of miles away, these messages are enough for them to listen with gusto.

   In addition, they also know that the army really has meat to eat, and there is a lot of meat.

  I know better... It turns out that the taste of beef is better than pork, more tender and refreshing.

   Mutton is more stinky, but...if it is covered with pepper, garlic, and thirteen spices, it will be delicious in the world.

  Everyone was drooling while listening, and suddenly felt that the big white rice they were proud of had become dull.

   There is still time for practice, get up early in the morning and march, rush for ten miles, or cross the river, tie each other with ropes, and swim with planks.

   There are also evening classes in the military, and the gentlemen invited are all from Xishan Academy.

   There is also Xishan Academy. Here, there are real hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Anyone who comes out at random may be smarter than the learned people in Fucheng.

   These countless messages crazily got into the minds of these strong men.

   Even the people in the neighboring villages, after finishing their farm work, a large group of young men ran to look for Zhou Yi.

  Countless messages have been passed on through word of mouth, even the women who are waiting in the boudoir know all about it.

  This Zhou Yi is nothing more than a bomb thrown into this remote village.

  Zhou Yi would occasionally go to Fucheng and bring back many books, some of which raised pigs and some grew crops.

He is a man of insight. Even if he is farming, he is not constrained by his cousins. He lives in a muddle by relying on the experience of his ancestors. Even if it is farming, it is different from others. .

   It won't be long before there will be more catchphrases in the village, what Zhou Yi said, what Zhou Yi said, and whether Zhou Yi thinks this matter can be done.

  Even if there is an occasional business trip to the countryside, this trip is willing to go to Zhou Yi's house.

  After all... Tolerance is also experienced in the world, negotiating with the villagers, and he doesn't want to spend too much time talking with a group of people who don't know what to do. Zhou Yi is different. He can immediately understand what he says, which saves a lot of effort.

As for many things in the government, Zhou Yi quickly understood by heart, and whenever the villagers went to the government to do something, he would often come forward, or if there was any news about benefiting farmers, he could also screen them out. , Determine who can benefit from the people in the village.

  For ordinary people who are closed, this is not just capable, but a real benefit.

  The more this happened, the more people came to the door to be matchmakers, but...the widows and ordinary yellow-haired girls disappeared, and the door began to become higher and higher, and even the daughter of the county official...was interested.

  The official Liu in that county valued Zhou Yi very much. After meeting Zhou Yi a few times, he nodded more and more in his heart, and found someone to talk to him secretly.

  Of course, officials are people who want face, so they are not like ordinary people. They talk about marriage directly.

  …

   "What... Liu Sili!"

   Zhou Yi's uncle, Zhou Kang's gray beard, began to tremble violently again, his lips were trembling, and his face was surprised.

  Liu Sili is in charge of the household houses, and all the imperial food in the county is held in his hands. This is a person who stomps his feet and the ground trembles in the county town.

   Don't look at it as an official, but for a small man like Zhou Kang, this is his status, it is really a sky and an earth.

  Several sons stood aside, and each of them began to swear again.
