After the letter was delivered, the owner of the house was very worried.

Mrs. Zhou told the Third Prince about the letter.

The Third Prince was shocked and regretful. He was melancholy for several days and kept wondering who had withheld his letter.

On the contrary, Mrs. Zhou was much calmer. Although she was also shocked, it had been so many years since the incident happened. Now, she had no other intention except to sigh.

But once the matter was made clear, the Third Prince became more active than usual. He not only put the Zhou family's land in order, but also made a whole water carrier with a bamboo raft.

The water carrier was connected to a well in the backyard and directly led the water to the water tank in the kitchen.

In this way, even if the Third Prince is not at home on weekdays, Aunt Zhou and Du Wanchun don't have to go to the backyard to fetch water.

Aunt Zhou looked at the water flowing into the water tank and said in surprise: "I didn't expect the prince to have such a skill."

Du Wanchun scooped out a bowl of water and smiled: "Mom, the prince is really amazing. We don't have to fetch water in the future."

Aunt Zhou wiped the sweat from her face with a handkerchief, her face full of smiles. When she turned around, she saw the cut vegetables on the stove.

Every morning before the Third Prince followed Zhou Zhao to the vegetable field, he would prepare breakfast and cut the vegetables for lunch.

If he came back late, it would be easier for Aunt Zhou and Zhou Ruiyuan to cook.

Aunt Zhou looked at the vegetables and felt a little touched in her heart, and at the same time, she felt a little emotional. They are obviously two brothers, why is there such a big difference?

The emperor is cruel and ruthless, but the Third Prince is kind.

Aunt Zhou shook her head, walked to the stove, and cooked today's rice.

At noon, the Third Prince almost ran back to cook for them.

But Aunt Zhou had expected him to do this, and cooked all the food in advance.

The Third Prince walked into the kitchen, muttering: "I told you to do it, I'll do it, how can you rush to do it?"

Aunt Zhou put the bowl of rice on the table, "How can I let you do it all the time, come and eat."

The Third Prince smiled happily when he heard her say this, and then washed his hands and came to eat.

"Where's Ruiyuan? He hasn't come yet?"

Zhou Ruiyuan has been helping Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou make incense in the incense room these days, so he has been in the incense room almost all day.

Du Wanchun smiled and said, "I'll go call him over now."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to call Zhou Ruiyuan.

Coincidentally, Zhou Ruiyuan came back at this time.

Seeing him, the Third Prince said hurriedly, "Ruiyuan, aren't you going to take the imperial examination? Stop working and read books."

Zhou Ruiyuan washed his hands and sat down, "No need, I've already memorized those books."

The Third Prince paused with his hand holding the dish, and found that what he said just now was indeed redundant. Zhou Ruiyuan had the best teacher since he was a child, and he had read all kinds of books. It would be easy for him to take part in this provincial examination.

He picked up a piece of fish from the bowl and put it in Aunt Zhou's bowl, "Zhou'er, eat more."

Aunt Zhou was often stuffed with food by the Third Prince these two days, so she gained a lot of weight.

Maybe someone took care of her, she not only gained weight, but also her skin became much whiter, and gradually she looked like before.

Du Wanchun watched from the side, no wonder they say women are like flowers, and flowers must be pampered to be fragrant.

At this time, there was also a piece of fish in her bowl.

It was still a piece of fish with fish bones removed.

Du Wanchun picked up the fragrant meat and ate it, then picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Zhou Ruiyuan's bowl.

Each of them had their own favorite dishes, which they had not noticed before when they were so poor that they had no rice.

Later, Du Wanchun found that Zhou Ruiyuan liked to eat meat, but he was reluctant to eat it every time, so he gave it to her.

Fortunately, since the arrival of the Third Prince, their food has also improved.

The Third Prince spent money like water, and went to the county every few days to buy meat, such as pork legs, pig trotters, and even mutton and beef.

In Changliu Village, only a few people eat beef, because most cattle are used for farming, and basically few people use them for eating.

The Third Prince knew that Aunt Zhou liked to eat beef, and ran several miles to buy a pound of beef.

Moreover, in order not to be discovered, he did not ask the servants to do this, but always did it himself.

After lunch, the Third Prince proposed to take their family to the market to buy things.

Aunt Zhou quickly refused, "No, we have enough at home."

The Third Prince stood up, "What do you mean by enough? They are all tattered. Come on, I'll take you to buy some good things!"

He always spoke

Loud voice.

Aunt Zhou wanted to refuse, but seeing the frown on the Third Prince's face, she was embarrassed to disappoint him, so she agreed.

Zhou Zhao was very happy after hearing this, "Great, it just so happens that we can go to the market to buy some more vegetable seeds."

The Third Prince frowned again when he heard him say this, "Zhao'er, don't always think about growing vegetables. I heard from your mother that you wanted to go to the military camp outside the pass."

Zhou Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, I have discussed it with my uncle, and he will take me with him when he returns to the military camp next month."

The Third Prince nodded slightly, "Okay, you can follow Lu Yan to win more connections in the military camp, which will be beneficial in the future."
