Buying people's hearts

In the evening, in the room of the Zhou family and the old man, the husband and wife sat on the bed, one was smoking, and the other was sewing insoles.

"Old man, what do you say the eldest and third are doing in the capital now? How long will it take to come back? "Zhou is old, her eyes are a little bad, and it's night, she only starts when she sees it, otherwise she will poke her hand.

The old man took two more sipes, "I don't know, there are still some days when I come back, not so fast." I wonder how many grandchildren are studying at the academy? ”

In the old man's heart, the reading of his grandchildren is the most worrying thing in his heart, and he always keeps it in his heart.

"Hey, it's also that the two of us are old, otherwise we can go to the capital with us, and by the way, we can also see our granddaughter. This granddaughter has been married for a few months, and I don't know if she is used to it in the capital. If you don't eat well, you can't live a good life. Is the prince good to her? Zhou chattered, she thought about her granddaughter very much, although her granddaughter's letter was good, but she was also afraid that her granddaughter would report good news and not bad news.

The old man sighed, he also missed his granddaughter, but he couldn't see it, and it was in vain to think about it.

"Okay, the two of us are not too old to walk, and if we have the opportunity in the future, we can still go to the capital to see our granddaughter." The old man said.

"That's just as well. By the way, you can manage the workshop, I see you busy every day, and you still have back pain at night. Would you like to ask a doctor to take a look? Zhou thought that the old man had asked her to press her waist in the past few nights, saying that her waist was uncomfortable.

"No need, I don't have a big deal here, I just haven't done anything before, I'm very busy all of a sudden, this body is not suitable and a little unbearable, just get used to it in a few days." The workshop is very busy. Now I'm helping with my second child, and I'm barely busy. The old man sighed, he has enjoyed some days of happiness, and if he starts to do things again, his body will not be able to do it, and it seems that he will not be able to continue to enjoy such happiness in the future.

"Sleep, I'll have to wake up early tomorrow. Tomorrow there are a few cooperative merchants on the workshop side who are going to come to get spices, so I have to go and watch early. ”

The old man finished his cigarette and was ready to rest, and there will be more things tomorrow. Zhou didn't delay, put down the work in his hand, the old husband and wife, said a few more words, blew the lamp and went to bed.

After a while, the old man fell asleep because he was old and too busy, and there was a lot of snoring. And the old lady Zhou did not fall asleep. When she mentioned her granddaughter before, she thought about it tightly. Now lying in bed, I miss my granddaughter all the time, and the old lady can't sleep with the snoring in her ears.

Zhou Ziya didn't know that the old lady in her hometown was thinking about her and thinking about her, she was accompanying her parents to start shopping in the capital these days.

"Dad, mother, let's go to the restaurant for dinner in a while. After eating, I'll take you to the play. The opera sung in this theater in the capital is very good and very popular. You're going to love it. "She doesn't like it herself, she goes once and then doesn't go anymore, she is a modern person, she has a different level of appreciation, and she has no interest in watching dramas.

"Watching the play, this is good." Zhou Yanliang expressed great interest.

"Oh, girl, you can watch a play at any time in this capital, it's really good. It's like we're in the countryside, and it's not easy to watch a play. "Xiao Zhou's eyes have been really opened to the eyes of his daughter to visit the capital in the past two days, and he is happy every day, as if he has picked up a lot of silver.

Zhou Ziya knows the situation in the countryside and wants to watch a play, unless she invites the troupe to come to the village to act like the Zhou family did before, but if you invite the troupe, where will you invite it, so people who are dozens of years old may not be able to watch two plays in their lives. But I am very persistent in watching the play, I think it is lively, and I like it very much.

Situ Chen didn't come with him today, and was called to the palace by the emperor, because he was with him two days ago, and he delayed things, and the emperor didn't know what to do with him, so he was invited into the palace early this morning. It's just that Zhou Ziya came out, the maids and guards in this area, under Situ Chen's stern warning, are absolutely indispensable. Not to mention the Secret Guard in the shadows.

"Yes, Dad, Mother, there are a few theaters in this capital. There is a troupe, and they will act every day. When you want to go to see it, as long as you pay some money to buy a movie ticket, it is very easy to see. It's not the same as in the countryside, which is inconvenient. Zhou Ziya replied. It's just that a few brothers went to school again, and there were a few fewer people, but there was less fun.

"That's good, it's convenient. This capital is good. It's okay to do anything. Like in our village, you must invite a troupe to watch a play. There are also a lot of things to buy in this capital. It's like when you're in the village, where can you eat something from the sea? Although the price of this capital is a little expensive, it is really good to be able to eat things from the sea. Xiao Zhou said that in the past few days, she has been living in the palace, and Zhou Ziya naturally makes the kitchen ready to eat every day, and she can be regarded as eating and opening her eyes. I was so happy to eat every day. I think this capital is really good, and the longer I stay, the more I don't want to go back to the countryside.

"Mother, if you like it, bring some back when you go back this time. Although the things in the sea are best eaten fresh, the conditions at home are not good, and some of the things in the sea can be stored for a lot of time after being dried. The taste is a little worse, but it's pretty good. When the time comes, when you go back, I will ask you to prepare more. Go back and eat it yourself, and by the way, give some to the elders in the family, such as the village chief, the patriarch and so on. I'm married far away, and it's rare to go back, so you should take it as a letter from me to the village. "She is now a princess after all, this identity is different, but she is still from Shanshui Village. Naturally, I also think about the people in the village, whether it is for my own reputation or for the relationship of the Zhou family, it is also very important to get along well with the village. These things are neither too expensive, nor too cheap, and they are scarce, and they are brought back from afar, and the people in the village will definitely feel this thought alone.

Zhou Yanliang is obviously not stupid, and when he heard his daughter say this, he also felt that it made sense, so he agreed.

Zhou Ziya was very happy to see that her father understood her so well. Talking to his father about the family's business, Zhou Yanliang said that the family's soy sauce workshop and spice workshop are doing very good business. It's still a little too busy.

"Dad, this soy sauce and spice workshop, you see, let's expand it somewhat. When you go back, you build some more workshops and expand it directly. There were quite a few people in the village, and the workshop expanded. Naturally, there are more people to recruit. When the time comes, we will recruit people in the village. It can be regarded as a better relationship with the village. It's also good for business, killing two birds with one stone. Moreover, now that there is the help of the prince, my father doesn't have to worry, this thing can't be sold, or someone is bullying or something. ”

This is definitely a good opportunity to buy hearts and minds and kill a few birds with one stone.

Although the people of the Zhou family now have a good reputation in Shanshui Village, they still haven't completely reined in most of the people, and this time they can take the opportunity to buy the hearts of the people in the village, which is definitely a good thing.
