The emperor stayed in Zhou Ruiyuan's mansion for half a month.
Du Wanchun and Mianmian were also at the county government office, but they never saw Mrs. Yue again since the last time.
The little eunuch who was accompanying the emperor heard that the emperor sent someone to take Mrs. Yue back to the capital.
However, Du Wanchun did not see the carriage going to the capital. He probably sent someone to dump it in an unknown corner.
Seeing that the accommodation was almost the same, the emperor stayed in a few more and continued southward.
Seeing that he was leaving in a few days, Zhou Ruiyuan was in a happy mood and asked the chef to add two more dishes at noon.
The emperor was accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas on weekdays. Occasionally, he tasted the simple food of the small county government and found it very delicious.
After he finished eating, he looked around the room, "Mr. Zhou, why haven't I seen your daughter today?" ?.?????.???
Zhou Ruiyuan poured him a cup of tea, "She followed her mother to the nearby Zhuangzi."
"Do you have Zhuangzi?" the emperor asked doubtfully.
Zhou Ruiyuan nodded, "Yes, it was arranged by my wife."
The emperor touched the beard on his chin and said, "Master Zhou's wife is really capable. Not only does she open a rice shop, incense shop and rouge shop, but she also has her own village."
Zhou Ruiyuan said politely: "Thanks to the emperor's care, otherwise our Zhou family would not be so smooth."
These words were very useful to the emperor. He squinted his eyes and smiled, "You Zhou family are really smart."
As he spoke, he suddenly thought of Zhou Feng, "The same goes for your brother. I heard that he recently bought more than ten shops in the north of the capital."
Zhou Ruiyuan was not surprised. Zhou Feng had just received a letter some time ago.
Ever since Du Wanchun opened the rice shop, the shop in Beijing and Du Wanchun's shop were separate.
Now Zhou Feng not only runs the previous incense shop, but also opened his own medicine shop. With the money he had previously, he bought more than ten shops.
He did not use these shops for business, but for collecting rent.
Now he can collect a lot of money every month just by collecting rent.
Speaking of which, this was the method Du Wanchun taught him.
Let him keep the money earned from the shop there and use it to buy the shop and the village.
Zhou Feng also listened to this sister-in-law's words very much and followed them seriously.
The emperor being so close to the Zhou family is not really just looking at them and looking friendly, mainly because of their Zhou family's money.
In the past, the wealthy businessmen in the capital included the Fang family and several other well-established families.
However, their foundation was too deep for the emperor to do anything. This did not occur to the Zhou family who had just made a fortune.
I thought that after they became prosperous, I would pinch them so that I could get some money to put into the treasury.
Du Wanchun knew this, so she scattered all the money at home instead of putting it in one basket.
Even if the emperor can control Zhou Feng in the future, he cannot control her.
Du Wanchun was in Zhuangzi with Xiao Mianmian.
It's early summer now, and the weather is slightly muggy in the afternoon.
But it was very cool in Zhuangzi. Du Wanchun made some cool pastries for Xiao Mianmian here. Mother and daughter sat in front of the door and took a nap in the cool breeze.
Behind Zhuangzi lived three women and two servants, all carefully selected by Aunt Zhou to look after Zhuangzi.
On weekdays, whenever Du Wanchun comes here, they will stay in the backyard and not disturb them.
It was quiet here, but it was noisy again in Changliu Village.
At home, she followed Aunt Zhou, Yi'er and Yu'er to secretly board Wei Xun's carriage to Cheng'an County, and followed him to the county seat.
These two young men can now walk, and once they learn to walk they will be like flying centipedes.
Aunt Zhou searched around the house for anyone who had not seen them, and she roughly knew where they had gone.
Madam Wu came out and said, "Aunt Zhou, don't worry, my husband will take them with him, and nothing will happen to them."
Aunt Zhou was anxious to go to Cheng'an County to look for them, but she was stopped by the third prince. "Ms. Wu is right. We are waiting at home now. Maybe Xiao Wei will bring the children back later."
After hearing this, Aunt Zhou nodded, "I'm not afraid that they will get lost, I'm just afraid that they will meet that person when they go to the county government office."
The Third Prince smiled slowly and said, "There's no need to rush. Don't worry, he won't recognize the two of them even if they stand in front of him."
Aunt Zhou thought about it carefully and felt that it was right.
