Uncle Gu was unable to disturb Master Zhou and Grandma Xiao, but Master Zhou did not receive a pleasant look from Grandma Xiao either.
Lu Zheng advised Master Zhou to take it slow. "You've already made it to the crossroads, which is a significant step forward. Just come and visit often in the future."
Lu Zheng gradually got the hang of many of the Zhou family's businesses. His sister, Lu Xue, also sent a lot of capable people over under the guise of helping his maternal grandparents. In fact, Lu Zheng had Lu Xue find them, and they were all people that Lu Zheng had been used to in his previous life.
In his previous life, Lu Zheng had inherited all of Master Zhou's family business. He had trained each and every one of them, and they were all extremely loyal to him. All he had to do was sit back and collect the money.
Master Zhou told others that Lu Zheng was a junior member of the clan, but in fact he had no clan at all. Anyone who wanted to investigate would find that Zhou Yuan had no such person, and would also know that Master Zhou had no relatives.
All his businesses belong to Lu Zheng and Lu Xue, and he's happy to hand them over now.
His greatest wish for the rest of his life was not to make a lot of money, but to win back his wife and beg for her forgiveness.
Therefore, Mr. Zhou has plenty of time to come and have fun.
...
After Gu Ren's birthday, the Gu family took advantage of the last few days of the month to prepare everything for the wedding.
During this time, Gu Xin communicated with Xie Zhiyi several more times. Madam Xie's shop in Yuzhou Prefecture had already opened. Xie Zhiyi said that she would come with Madam Xie next month to have a proper discussion about business.
Gu Xin had a good impression of Xie Zhiyi, so they decided to talk business. However, she explained the reason in her reply to Xie Zhiyi after her fourth uncle's wedding.
Unexpectedly, on the day of Uncle Gu's wedding to Yang Xiaohuan, Madam Xie brought Xie Zhiyi as a guest, along with wedding gifts.
On the fifth day of the eleventh month, it was Uncle Gu's twentieth birthday, which was also the day he got married.
Yang Xiaohuan is a year older than Uncle Gu, and she was already twenty-one at the beginning of this year.
Her wedding dress was designed by Cai Xiaolian, and it was very beautiful after it was embroidered.
Although they lived in a village, both families were well-off, so the wedding banquet was quite grand.
There were a total of thirty tables. Gu Nian personally cooked, and the village aunties came to help out.
After this incident, no one doubted Gu Nian's skills anymore. Everyone praised her, saying that she was a hidden talent and that her previous embroidery skills were a waste.
The village has more than 40 households, totaling more than 200 people. Everyone except the Zhang family, who have a bad relationship with the Gu family, came.
The Gu family never expected that their little Xinxin could make friends with the wife of a prefect. Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian had a good impression of Madam Xie. Just the fact that she abandoned her spoiled son in the military camp and even gave him four large bundles of rope on the way earned them their favor.
Perfect timing, since Madam Li has no one to chat with right now, she can sit with Madam Xie.
The couple learned from Lu Zheng that Prefect Xie of Yuzhou was the nephew of the Duchess of Rongguo. In other words, Madam Li and Madam Xie were related. However, the couple did not mention this.
As for Xie Zhiyi, she was a bit arrogant, but she was silly enough that Huo Yanyu played with her as easily as she played with Gu Ren, which allowed Xie Zhiyi to quickly integrate into the group of children.
In the evening, Uncle Gu, dressed in his groom's clothes, drove an oxcart to the Yang family to fetch the bride.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, weddings were always held in the evening. After the ceremony, guests were invited to eat and drink before being led to the bridal chamber.
