Master Yu, whose warehouse in front of him was being eroded bit by bit by the fire, was so anxious that he pounded the ground, "Our Yu family's rice is everywhere. If it is burned down, what will happen to the business of this rice shop!"
The housekeeper pulled him and said, "Master, if something is burned, it will be burned. If you rush in, you may not even be alive."
After hearing this, Mr. Yu gritted his teeth and gradually calmed down. He raised his head and could only watch the fire continue to burn his rice.
The fire burned all night, and the entire Yu family was reduced to ruins the next morning.
Master Yu sat at the door with a gray face, his eyes dull.
At this time, the servants who went to Changliu Village to set fire at night also came. ?.?????.???
They looked at the scene in front of them and were all surprised, "Master, what is going on?"
Master Yu slowly raised his head and looked at them, "The candle in my study accidentally ignited the bed curtain last night and caught fire."
The servants were all sighing, "What should we do?"
Master Yu stood up and asked them, "How was last night?"
The servants immediately came to their senses, lowered their heads and hesitated: "Master, we did not burn the Zhou family's fields last night."
"No?" Master Yu was shocked.
The servants bent over and retracted timidly: "Yesterday we went to the Zhou family's field, and when we were about to light the fire, we found a pack of wolves."
"A pack of wolves?" Master Yu asked in surprise.
The servants nodded one after another.
Master Yu was so angry that he vomited blood and did not light the other party's field. As a result, he accidentally lit his own house on fire.
He held on to the wall and fell directly to the ground.
Soon the news of the Yu family's fire spread to Changliu Village.
Aunt Zhou sighed: "I am a good rice merchant, but I am afraid it will be over now."
Du Wanchun held the child in his arms, walked to the door, and looked out, "Yes, I heard that there is no rice in the warehouse."
Aunt Zhou had an idea, "There is no food in the Yu family's rice shop in Qingzhou Prefecture. Why don't we go there and open a rice shop now, which can just fill the gap."
Du Wanchun listened and thought it was good, "That's okay. Ruiyuan and I will go to Qingzhou Mansion tomorrow. It happened that we liked a few shops yesterday."
Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to the rice warehouse and take another look to see how much rice is left."
Du Wanchun went with her.
There was more rice in the rice warehouse than they expected. They thought it wouldn't be enough to sell, but now they think about it, it should be just right.
Aunt Zhou let out a long sigh and said, "It would be great if Zhao'er was here. Maybe it won't be long before the rice in our fields can be harvested again."
Du Wanchun smiled and said: "Mom, don't worry, I will invite some long-term workers to come over in a few days and plant some more rice."
Aunt Zhou smiled and nodded.
The next day, Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan came to Qingzhou Mansion again and bought the two shops they had chosen yesterday.
When I was leaving, I happened to meet the down-and-out Master Yu.
Because the rice at home was gone, Master Yu not only couldn't do business, but also owed a lot of money to his family's long-term workers. For this money, he decided to go to the capital to find his cousin who was a dowager for help.
The two carriages happened to pass by each other.
Du Wanchun looked back and said, "Ms. sir, that's Master Yu's carriage."
Zhou Ruiyuan saw it and raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that he is preparing to go to the capital."
Du Wanchun replied: "I'm afraid I won't be able to save him even if I go to the capital."
Zhou Ruiyuan continued to drive the carriage and said slowly: "Wan Chun, do you want to go to the capital?"
Du Wanchun looked back at him, smiled and said, "I think so."
Zhou Ruiyuan looked ahead and said slowly: "I will take you to the capital for a test next month."
Du Wanchun's face was filled with joy, "What about Mianmian and the others?"
Zhou Ruiyuan held the reins in one hand, hugged her with the other and said, "My mother and Aunt Zhuang are here, so don't worry."
Du Wanchun leaned on his shoulder, with a smile on his face.
In the capital, Zhou Feng was about to get married to Miss Han.
The emperor became more and more interested in his adopted son. Not only did he help him arrange his wedding, he also opened several spice shops for him in the capital.
These were all unexpected by Zhou Feng.
But it didn't seem to do him any harm.
Zhou Feng stored all the money he earned during this period together, thinking that he would send the money to his family after a while.
Because of the emperor's care, many merchants in the capital were fawning over him, sending either paintings or jade every day.
Zhou Feng was not polite and collected them all, thinking of sending them home.
Seeing that the wedding day was coming, Zhou Feng received a letter from Zhou Ruiyuan.
Zhou Ruiyuan was going to bring Du Wanchun to attend his wedding ceremony, and he happened to be taking the college entrance examination next month.
Zhou Feng was slightly surprised. It seemed that his eldest brother was also ready to meet the emperor.
