After being forced to marry by her stepmother, Koi's lovely wife prospers the whole family

Zhou Zhao picked up the small piece of gold on the ground, and looked at it

again with his eyes open, "Big brother, look at a piece of gold here!" Zhou

Ruiyuan picked up the grass in front of him, strode to his side, and saw a small piece of golden things in his hand, and asked in surprise: "Where did you come from?"

Zhou Zhao handed him the gold in his hand, "I picked it up on the ground just now, and I don't know if there is anything else." After

saying that, he squatted down again and searched the ground.

Peeling open a pile of dense grass, it was full of stones and black mud, and there was no trace of gold to be seen.

Zhou Zhao stood up straight and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It seems that there is no more."

Zhou Ruiyuan took the gold and looked at it, frowned, and interrupted him, "No, there is."

Zhou Zhao looked at his eldest brother suspiciously, "Big brother, I only see this one on the ground."

Zhou Ruiyuan shook his head, and then pointed to a small mark under the gold, "What do you see here?"

Zhou Zhao looked up carefully, and saw that there was a Lu character written under the gold, but because of the lack of gold, a corner was missing.

He was suddenly shocked, "This is the gold of my grandfather's family!"

Zhou Ruiyuan nodded, "Before my grandfather raided the house, Steward Sun ran away with a box of gold ingots, if you guessed correctly, this gold is very likely to be the batch that Steward Sun took away."

Zhou Zhao was stunned, looked at the gold again, and said in confusion: "It's just that this Steward Sun didn't run away, how could the gold he took away be in

the mountains?" Zhou Ruiyuan slowly put away the gold and looked into the distance, "Steward Sun's hometown is in Wanzhou Mansion, which is near Qingzhou Mansion, and if you want to go back to the village without being seen, you have to take this path in the mountains."

Zhou Zhao suddenly realized, "This Steward Sun, when the disaster came, he ran away with the gold, I think my grandfather will not let him go when he is a ghost!" Steward Sun is

an old man in the Lu Mansion, and he has always been loyal, who knew that when the disaster in the Lu Mansion was coming, he secretly left the capital with the gold left by the Lord Lu.

Zhou Ruiyuan frowned, raised his head and looked around, "The gold was originally packed in a wooden box, but now a piece suddenly fell out, seeing that he encountered something on the way back, we can look for it again, maybe he hid some of the gold here."

Zhou Zhao nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll look for it again."

Zhou Suiyuan took the hoe and followed to find it.

The brothers searched for more than half an hour, and finally only dug out a wooden box, although they did not find gold, but they verified Zhou Ruiyuan's statement.

Steward Sun did hide some of the gold in this mountain.

It's just somewhere in the mountains? You have to look for it slowly.

Although the mountain in Nagaru Village is not high, it is very wide, and it takes at least an hour to walk from west to east.

Zhou Zhaochang sighed, sat down and said, "Big brother, forget it today, we'll come back tomorrow."

Zhou Ruiyuan was also too tired, looked at the sandalwood trees around him, and nodded, "Okay, let's bring these trees down today, and then come tomorrow to find gold."

After hearing this, Zhou Zhao lay down on the ground, and it didn't take long for him to stand up again, pick up an axe and go to cut down the tree.

Zhou Ruiyuan got up, patted the mud on his body, and helped cut down the trees together.

Not long after, the two of them carried two fine sandalwood trees down the mountain.

When the two of them went down the mountain, they happened to pass by Cao's house.

Du Damei happened to see them, and hurriedly brought two glasses of water to the door and gave them two to drink.

When Zhou Ruiyuan and Zhou Zhao were drinking water, they also heard the call of the Cao family in the Cao family's house.

However, Du Damei didn't seem to ignore her call, she did whatever she wanted, and after Zhou Ruiyuan and them finished drinking water, she sent them to the front of the mountain with a smile.

After Zhou Ruiyuan and Zhou Zhao sent the sandalwood back, they went to the vegetable field again.

The two brothers fumbled and planted some more vegetables in the vegetable patch.

Seeing them go up the mountain, Du Bangchun boiled some tea at home, and then boiled some eggs and sent them to the vegetable field.

The family was busy until dusk before returning home.

Zhou Ruiyuan took advantage of the fact that when no one was there in the middle of the night, he took out the gold in his arms and told Du Bangchun about it.

Du Bangchun looked at the gold and said in surprise: "Xianggong, this piece of gold can be exchanged for at least one hundred taels of silver!"

Zhou Ruiyuan nodded, "Well, that's right."

After Du Bangchun took the gold and looked at it, he pondered, "In this way, with the gold, we can buy a new shop."

Zhou Ruiyuan sat down beside her, "Yes, we can indeed buy a new shop, but now is not the time." "

Why?" Du Wanchun asked.

Zhou Ruiyuan replied: "The entire Qingzhou Mansion is the territory of the Fang family, if we don't cooperate with them, they will definitely have a way to make our business impossible in Cheng'an County."

After hearing this, Du Bangchun hurriedly said: "Otherwise, Xianggong, since we can't do business in Cheng'an County, it is better to open the shop elsewhere, so that the Fang family can't manage us, and we can also have our own shop."

Zhou Ruiyuan nodded, "That's what I mean."

Du Bangchun asked: "Xianggong, where do you say it is good to open a new shop?"

Zhou Ruiyuan raised his eyes slightly and looked into the distance, and after pondering for a long time, he replied: "Beijing." "
