Zhou Ruiyuan replied: "It's still early. I have passed the provincial examination this time. I will have to wait until March next year for the general examination."
Du Wanchun breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Ruiyuan hugged her tightly, "Don't worry, I will take you and the child with me wherever I go, because the place where you and the child are is home."
Du Wanchun's heart felt warm when he heard it, and he gently brushed his long black hair.
Zhou Ruiyuan took a piece of pastry from the table and handed it to her mouth, "Eat it quickly, or it will get cold later."
Du Wanchun took a bite and chewed the pastry slowly. He found that it was not only sweet in his mouth, but also sweet in his heart. ?.?????.???
The child in her belly seemed to feel her mother's joy, and kicked her little arms and legs.
After Du Wanchun felt it, he called out softly, "Oh."
Zhou Ruiyuan quickly let go of her, leaned close to his belly and said in a very stern tone: "Don't kick your mother. When you come out, be careful I spank you."
As soon as his words came out, Du Wanchun found that the child in his belly had really calmed down.
Zhou Ruiyuan smiled gently and said: "This child must be a girl if he is so obedient."
Du Wanchun gently put his hand on his belly and said with a smile: "Since my husband has given the child a big name, let me give the child a nickname."
Zhou Ruiyuan nodded lightly, "What do you think my wife would like to call me?"
Du Wanchun thought for a moment and said, "Let's call her Mianmian."
Zhou Ruiyuan asked doubtfully: "Mianmian?"
Du Wanchun explained to him: "Look, my name is Wanchun, which means spring, and your name is Ruiyuan, which means deep rain. Add Mianmian, which means spring rain."
"Mianmian..." Zhou Ruiyuan murmured in a low voice, and then smiled and said: "Okay, the spring rain will continue, the love will continue, you and I will last forever and never be separated."
Du Wanchun's cheeks turned red and he nodded heavily, "That's right."
Zhou Ruiyuan pulled her to sit on his lap and held her tightly in his arms.
At night, the third prince returned home early and helped Aunt Zhou cook a large table of dishes. Now the business in the shop is getting better and better, and life is much better than before.
I used to be reluctant to even eat minced meat, but now I eat meat every three days.
Zhou Zhao returned home carrying three large crucian carp, "Mom, there are more and more fish in our pond. Why don't we fish some out tomorrow and dry them in the sun?"
Aunt Zhou responded with a smile: "Okay, by the way, I will send it to your Aunt Wang and Aunt Du family when the time comes."
Zhou Zhao smiled brightly and said, "Okay, mother."
He put the fish in his hand into the basin in the yard, then washed his hands and went into the house.
The chickens and ducks in the yard were all asleep, and they heard some movement and clucked a little.
At this time, someone outside the house called: "Is shopkeeper Zhou at home?"
Du Wanchun stuck her head out and saw that it was the eldest brother of the Sun family. She was confused and quickly went into the room to tell Aunt Zhou about the matter.
Aunt Zhou asked in surprise: "What is he here for?"
Du Wanchun shook his head, "Mom, please tell my husband, third brother, and third prince not to go out. I'll go ask him."
Aunt Zhou frowned and said, "No, how can I let you go alone?"
Du Wanchun held her hand and said, "Mom, it's okay. I just went to ask him what he wanted to do."
As he said that, he glanced into the room and said, "But you and your husband, please don't come out. This Master Sun has been to the palace, and I don't know if he has seen you."
Aunt Zhou's face darkened when she heard this.
Du Wanchun took advantage of her being lost in thought, let go of her hand, and walked slowly outside.
"I am the shopkeeper of the Zhou family. What brings you to me?" Du Wanchun asked the eldest brother of the Sun family.
The eldest brother of the Sun family was dressed in maroon clothes and was accompanied by two servants. When he saw Du Wanchun, he said arrogantly: "Then you open the Zhou Family Incense Shop?"
Du Wanchun said slowly: "Yes, I drove it. I didn't know that you..."
Before she could finish speaking, the eldest brother of the Sun family snorted coldly: "I thought he was such a powerful person, but I didn't expect he was actually a woman!"
Du Wanchun's eyes revealed a cold look, "Master, what do you want from me?"
After looking around the yard, the eldest brother of the Sun family raised his eyebrows and said, "I will buy your two incense shops and your incense shop for one thousand taels of silver."
As he spoke, he pointed towards the incense shop in the yard.
Du Wanchun was a little surprised, "The master's family is also in the incense shop business?"
The eldest brother of the Sun family raised his chin and said: "Our family is in the rouge business. It is the largest rouge shop in the capital. But I heard that your incense shop is also good at business, so I want to give it a try."
Du Wanchun lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "Master, our incense shop does not sell it."
The eldest brother of the Sun family was stunned, "What? You won't sell it for a thousand taels of silver?"
Du Wanchun shook his head, "I won't sell it."
The eldest brother of the Sun family had some anger in his eyes and said sternly: "I'm just a peasant woman, but she doesn't even care about a thousand taels of silver. How much silver do you need to sell it for?!"
Du Wanchun raised his eyebrows and said slowly word by word: "No matter how much money we have, we won't sell it."
The eldest brother of the Sun family looked at Du Wanchun with wide eyes, "Hey, you little lady wants to make things difficult for our Sun family!"
Du Wanchun deliberately raised his tone and said: "Sun family? Which Sun family? I don't seem to have heard of any Sun family in Cheng'an County!"
