Chapter 1185 Yellow and White Things
A few hot-tempered young men were not convinced and wanted to say a few words. They had never been rejected since they were young, and now a small person who opened the door was going to bully them. Who could tolerate this?
Fortunately, there were still some sober people among them, and they quickly said, "Yes, we are too talkative. It's enough to see the master. I wonder when the master will be free. Our master wants to see the master."
Zhou Guo looked up at the sky and said, "I don't have much free time. If you have any business, please come to the county government office and I will receive you all."
"This……"
The two groups frowned, they didn't expect her not to come.
Zhou Guo looked at them and said, "Please go back and let them know. If you come, I will be waiting for you in the government office. If you don't come, I will be busy."
She really doesn't have much free time.
Several people looked at each other, gritted their teeth and nodded, "Okay, please wait for a while, I will ask someone to go home and invite the head of the family."
Several people ran back.
It is not a good time to act arrogantly. The Zhou family and the Yan family have already boarded Zhou Guo's boat. If they don't move quickly, they will be left behind. If they are left behind now, it will take many, many years and a lot of energy to catch up later, and it may not be possible.
Even if following Zhou Guo might not necessarily lead to any success, the other two companies had already gotten involved, so they couldn't fall behind.
Regardless of whether the bet is a win or a loss, they have to follow through. If they win, that's even better, but if they lose, that doesn't matter.
Zhou Guo turned around and went back to the county government office, and Wu Lazi followed him in.
Zhou Guo was surprised and asked, "Why are you following me instead of going outside the city?"
Wu Lazi said: "I will stay to protect you."
Zhou Guo waved his hand, "No need, food has already been distributed outside the city, go and maintain order, don't let anyone take advantage of the loopholes and break the rules."
Wu Lazi turned around and walked away, passing by these people with his two brothers in a heroic and arrogant manner, not even willing to glance at them.
It made a group of people very angry. They had never suffered such injustice before. They usually treat others like this.
The two heads of the family did not arrive very quickly. She had already drunk a cup of tea when they finally arrived.
Zhou Guo looked at the two family heads. They had white hair and wrinkled faces, but as long as they didn't speak, they still had an aura of high status and prestige.
"Sir, I am sorry to bother you. You know that my Liu family has many children and several acres of grain fields in Fengfei County. However, none of my descendants are capable and know nothing about books. I am afraid that they will not be able to pass the imperial examinations in this life.
Today I came here specially to ask you for help. I have two grandsons who are quite capable. I hope you can take them with you and teach them. I don’t have anything else to give you, but some gold and silver as a reward.”
Eight people came up with four black lacquered trays covered with red cloth. When the red cloth was removed, everyone present gasped.
There were neatly stacked gold bars on the tray, smaller than the ones Zhou Dacang gave her, but several times more in number.
Zhou Guo narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man.
The old man's face was not red and he was not out of breath. He stared at her with a pair of sharp eyes, neither retreating nor avoiding, with an ambiguous meaning.
Zhou Guo raised his eyebrows and asked, "I wonder what you want your two grandchildren to do?"
The old man lowered his eyelids and said, "I don't expect them to achieve much. As long as they can stay with the adults, it is their good fortune."
Zhou Guo shook his head and said, "Old Patriarch, I am not an official, I am just an ordinary citizen. If they follow me, they will have no future.
I think it would be better for me to gain some experience in the county government first. It just so happens that there is still work to do in this disaster relief work, so why not let the young masters help out first?"
Seeing that she didn't say it was a dead end, and that she still left room for maneuver, the old patriarch agreed, "Let's do as you say."
Zhou Guo was very satisfied and glanced at his two grandsons behind him, the two who had quarreled the loudest at the door before.
She looked at the other patriarch, and before she could say anything, that person said, "Sir, I also have two grandchildren, and I hope you can help teach them. If they can learn even one tenth of what you have learned, it will be their good fortune."
With a wave of his hand, five plates were brought up from behind.
Four plates of gold bars and one plate of jade jewellery, shining brightly and dazzling.
Judging from her experience of buying jewelry for her family over the years, these jewels are all good stuff, and a plate of them is no worse than a plate of gold bars.
The person on the other side was so angry that he was fuming. It was clearly agreed that the two families were treated the same, so why did they suddenly add so many codes?
Zhou Guo said: "The Patriarch gave these to you. Do you have a position you like?"
The old patriarch shook his head. "No, we don't have any ideas. It doesn't matter where you put them. As long as they can gain experience under your guidance, we will be satisfied."
Zhou Guo noticed from the corner of his eye that the Liu family members all had dark faces, and everyone looked unhappy.
She smiled and said, "Okay, in that case, let them follow me, and we'll go outside the city to help."
He also called out to the other side, "Of course, let's go together."
No matter what, the two families spent so much money and finally sent the person away. It was one and two, so they felt relieved.
This also gave them a message that Zhou Guo was not as honest as he seemed, and he could not take his eyes off gold.
In this world, money makes the world go round. It's the same no matter where you are or who you are with.
The personal soldiers stayed behind to collect the yellow and white things.
Chef Zhang and his apprentice watched from behind and shook their heads, "In a county like this, these people spend so many gold bars at once. It's hard to imagine how much money they have at home."
The young apprentice said, "This county is so poor, and the people are even poorer. I don't know where these people get their money from."
Zhou Guo took the four young men out of the city.
The young man was young after all, and seeing her accept the money without saying a word, he felt a little contemptuous of her.
So what if he’s an official?
So what if I work for the Xu family?
You are just bowing down to their money. Once you take their money, you will have to listen to them from now on.
As they walked, these people came in front of Zhou Guo, with the vague intention of taking the lead.
Dashu's eyes turned cold and he glanced at Zhou Guo.
Zhou Guo smiled and shook his head, then walked forward calmly.
When they got outside the city, everyone was surprised to see such a group of people coming together.
Especially the two people from the Zhou family and the Yan family, they stared at the four people in front of them with wide eyes, and then looked at Zhou Guo behind them, very puzzled.
Their two families only got one person each, so how come these two families each have two people?
There is one more person than them.
Faced with so many people's gazes, several people raised their chins even higher. In such a cold day, they still held up fans and waved them, feeling that the money was worth it. Look, so many people were looking at them, they must be envious.
