Chapter 615 - Wedding
The wedding ceremony was grand and novel, and nothing was out of the ordinary. Everything was carried out according to the ancient traditions. Before the groom, Third Young Master Zhou, went to escort the bride to the wedding, he saw Xiaocao and her party and hastily came to greet them. After that, he would be very busy. Even after he completed all the procedures of the wedding, he still needed to come out to toast and entertain the guests.
Royal Prince Yang's arrival had caught the Zhou Family by surprise. They had no connection with Royal Prince Yang, and thus there was no way that they could invite him. Why did the prince deign to come here? But the Zhou Family members instantly understood when they saw the young maiden beside him who he was carefully protecting.
In addition to Lady Fang's status of a noble-titled madam, Xiaocao had a position as an official and was personally bestowed the title of 'royal princess' by the emperor. Thus, they were invited to sit at the main table, which was surrounded by the most respected members of the Zhou Family. The group of old men were afraid that Xiaocao, a young girl, had no one to talk to, so they specially got Third Young Master Zhou's mother, Second Madam Zhou, who was originally unqualified to sit at the main table, to accompany and talk with Xiaocao. After all, when they were at Tanggu Town, Xiaocao often visited the second branch of the Zhou Family and the two had a decent relationship.
When the groom came over to toast the table, Xiacoao watched as he, who was dressed completely in red, drank several cups of wine and his handsome face flushed with a healthy glow. There seemed to be a strong sense of happiness in his smile. She joked, "As the saying goes: 'People are in high spirits when involved in happy events.' Third Young Master indeed looks radiant today ah!"
The elders of the family all knew about Yu Xiaocao's relationship with the Zhou Family, or to be exact, Third Young Master Zhou. It could be said that if he hadn't met Yu Xiaocao, the current young head of the household might still be the third young master of the second branch who had great ambition but lacked opportunities to display them.
People often said that Third Young Master Zhou was a business genius, but without Xiaocao's recipes and methods of making vermicelli, seasonings, and century eggs, his Zhenxiu Restaurant would probably just be an inconspicuous restaurant in Tanggu Town. It would just struggle under the exclusion of the long-established Fulin Restaurant.
With his abilities, he might still be able to become successful. However, there would be a lot of hardships and obstacles in the process, making his road to success even longer. By that time, the position of the head of the Zhou Family might have already fallen into the hands of his 'eldest uncle'. There wasn't anyone who was amazingly talented among the legitimate descendants of the first branch, so, perhaps, the Zhou Family would have slowly disappeared in the business industry after struggling to stay afloat for several generations.
With the success of the young head of the household, the Zhou Family had a resurgence that was closely related to the delicate and weak-looking Royal Princess Jinan in front of them. Who would have thought that an inconspicuous girl from a fisherman's family would become acquainted with the third young master of the Zhou Family because of selling seafood. Furthermore, she used her ability to help Zhou Zixu, who wasn't successful at the beginning, to succeed step by step, allowing the Zhou Family to regain its glory.
This young girl looked unassuming, but no one would have thought that, with her own abilities, she first gained the trust of Royal Prince Yang and boldly attempted to grow high-yielding corn kernels brought back from the western hemisphere. The output had shocked the imperial court.
After that, she cultivated the high-yielding winter wheat, which caused the emperor to make an exception to promote her to become the first female official in history. She also repeatedly made great achievements, such as greenhouses for vegetables and fruits, delicious canned fruits, nourishing fruit wines, and amazingly effective medicinal pills...
