From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 754

Yellow flowers, green trees, green grass, green vines, dark stones, and red soil, the beautiful scenery on the mountain flourishes in this season of transition from spring to summer.

Bees, butterflies, squirrels, hares, flying birds, insects, the living life gallops across this revived land.

The sky is clear, white clouds are floating, and the strands are melted by the warm sun. From the top of the mountain, you can see the winding Xiangshui River emitting brilliant waves, each wave of light is like a flame, and the fusion of water and fire makes this river full of the charm of movement.

"Why are there fewer leaves here!"

"Because this side is in the shade and has less sunlight."

"Why is the Xiangshui River curved!"

"Because of the inertial dynamic impact of the water flow and the Coriolis force."

Xiaoying blinked hard, obviously not understanding, but nodded and said, "Brother is right, then why does brother know so much?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Because I stand on the shoulders of countless giants, they selflessly support every life."

Xiaoying said, "Where are the giants? Why can't I see them?"

Zhou Yuan rubbed her little butt and said, "They don't need to be seen, they are for us to see more things."

Xiaoying thought about it, and then said, "I don't understand, but it seems to make sense."

She had countless questions and continued to ask, "Is brother a giant?"

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, and this question was a bit difficult for him to answer.

But he still said generously: "Everyone is a giant, but we always underestimate ourselves and are not good at discovering ourselves."

"Wow! Then Xiaoying can also be a giant!"

She jumped excitedly on Zhou Yuan's back.

Zhou Yuan laughed and said: "You are already a giant!"

Xiaoying said: "No, I am useless."

Zhou Yuan walked down the mountain road and whispered: "Being able to bring happiness to others is the greatest power, the biggest giant."

Xiaoying was obviously stunned for a moment.

She opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say at all. Her nose was sour and she wanted to cry.

She whispered, "Will brother be happy with Xiaoying?"

"Of course!"

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but mention her and smiled, "I have been tired for a long time. There are always many things waiting for me to deal with. I always have a lot of pressure in my heart."

"But when I am with you, I can't think of those troubles at all. I am only happy in my heart."

"The flowers in the mountains are blooming, and the mist in the forest has become the most beautiful scenery."

Xiaoying hugged his neck, her cheek against his back, and gently wiped her tears with his clothes, like a child, nudging her father with her head.

"No..."

She thought to herself that she didn't want to be like Qingyuan and call him dad.

"What?"

Zhou Yuan's voice came: "What don't you want?"

Xiaoying chuckled and said: "Nothing, I just remembered something happy. Brother, if the war is over one day, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Yuan thought for a while, and then said: "Play."

"Take Jianjia, Ningyue and Qu Ling to see the most beautiful scenery in the world. I have been busy with the secular world for many years, and I have been away from them for a long time. I feel quite guilty."

"After I am busy with the world, I should take care of the housework and spend more time with them."

Xiaoying said: "Then... will brother take me with me?"

For some reason, Zhou Yuan suddenly remembered the short grave.

His words also blurted out: "Of course, I promised your grandmother to take good care of you."

Xiaoying didn't say anything. She just looked at the person in front of her quietly, feeling his broad and thick back, opened her mouth, and tears flowed down her eyes.

She suppressed it, she endured it very hard, and she didn't cry out in the end.

She just quietly wiped away her tears, showed the most beautiful and sweet smile, and said: "Then you must take good care of it, and be careful that my grandma will come to find you!"

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing: "Haha! Xiaoying can also joke!"

Xiaoying looked at him and smiled: "Actually, I know everything."

Zhou Yuan said: "Then why do you say that the karst landforms here are so beautiful?"

Xiaoying of course didn't understand, she giggled: "Brother, do you know?"

Zhou Yuan said: "This is... Mother Earth has experienced countless billions of years of collisions and tearing, constantly carving and repairing herself, and carefully prepared a gift for us."

"So, all this is so beautiful."

"Xiaoying, you said living in such a beautiful world, how can we not be happy?"

Xiaoying blinked her eyes, she looked at Zhou Yuan, and found that he didn't look back, so she smiled: "Of course we have to be happy! Always worry-free!"…

After crossing the mountains and ridges, the way back seemed easier to walk. Xiaoying and I had a lot of fun, and we always had endless things to talk about, and we were in a very relaxed mood.

Zhou Yuan rarely had such a relaxing time, so he slept very soundly every night, and the long-accumulated fatigue and tension completely disappeared.

With the most full spirit and the most relaxed mentality, he finally returned to Xiangshui Village.

This was the eleventh day since he and Xiaoying left, and it was already April 27th.

As if knowing that Zhou Yuan had something to do, Xiaoying made an excuse to go to the county to buy osmanthus cake and quietly slipped away.

And Zhou Yuan finally saw a full nine floats.

"Sir, a total of 26 craftsmen came to Xiangshui Village with countless tools to make a float for us."

"This is definitely the best, most luxurious and most beautiful float in the world!"

Looking at the young man in front of him, Zhou Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well done! Young people are motivated! I will say hello to Guan Lu and ask him to take special care of you. As long as you are capable, you can keep getting promoted."

"By the way, how much silver did you spend this time?"

The young man said, "Five hundred taels."

Zhou Yuan asked in confusion, "Only five hundred taels?"

The young man lowered his head and smiled, "They gave me five hundred taels."

"I promised to help them develop the market in Shuixi, including most areas of Qiandongnan and Guizhou, and promised the minimum total order price for next year. It took a lot of effort."

Zhou Yuan took a deep look at him. Damn, this is a talent.

"What's your name?"

The young man said quickly, "My surname is Gou, my given name is Yun, I'm nineteen this year, I come from a poor family, and I don't even have a courtesy name."

Zhou Yuan was silent for a moment before saying, "Yunshan."

"From today on, your courtesy name is Yunshan."

Gou Yun knelt down quickly and said loudly, "Thank you, sir, thank you for giving me a courtesy name, I'm very grateful."

He knew that he had seized the only chance in his life.

Zhou Yuan said: "You are smart enough, have enough execution, and have a certain degree of foresight and courage. The two words "Yunshan" are meant to make you not focus on small fame and fortune, but to be able to accommodate the clouds in the sky and the mountains on the ground, and to raise your mind and pattern."

"Only with a broad mind and a big heart can you achieve real success."

"Go to Fuzhou Baochuan Factory to learn, and then I will come to find you there."

Gou Yun's face was solemn, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I thank you for the name and teachings, and I will remember it in my heart and dare not forget it."

Look, this is a smart person.

In the last second, he was given a little pattern, and in the next second he changed from "small" to "subordinate". This kind of person is born with food and has that understanding.
