The weather was very hot, but the weather was very hot.

Aunt Wang and her aunt had already steamed the ointment they were going to make today.

"Wanchun, you're awake." Du Damei walked to her side and said with a smile, "Your mother and father went to the fields, I made breakfast for you."

As she said this, she looked at the child on her back.

The child is already four or five months old, and her little face is chubby, and she looks a bit like her father.

Du Wanchun broke off a little of the bun in her hand and handed it to the little baby, then turned and went into the house.

The Zhou family's life didn't seem to change because the emperor came to Qingzhou Prefecture. On the contrary, their life was getting better and better.

Aunt Zhou used gardenia, jasmine, osmanthus, magnolia, chrysanthemum and camellia to make six kinds of ointments.

The ointments were packed in small porcelain bottles and sold in the shop. They were more popular than perfumed lotions.

Compared with perfumed lotions, ointments are smaller and more convenient to carry. The small porcelain bottles are about the size of an egg and can be applied anytime and anywhere.

At the same time, the fragrance is more lasting and can also moisturize the skin.

In addition, the price is very cheap. It only took half a month for almost everyone in Cheng'an County to have a bottle.

Seeing that the sales were good, Du Wanchun followed Aunt Zhou to make some more and found an escort agency to send some to Zhou Feng's shop in Beijing.

Not long after this batch of ointments arrived at the shop, Zhou Feng sold only the last box.

Within a month, it was hard to find a perfume.

As the business was getting better and better, Zhou Feng became more and more prestigious among the vendors in Beijing, and soon everyone knew this shopkeeper Zhou.

After hearing about this magical ointment in the palace, Concubine Wu specially asked the palace maids to buy some.

However, the ointment smelled better and better the more others applied it, but she smelled worse and worse, and finally she was so angry that she threw all the ointments away.

The palace maids thought the ointment was good, so they secretly picked it up and took it back to use.

Later, the ladies in the palace smelled good and asked their palace maids to buy it from Zhou's perfume shop.

Soon, all the concubines in the capital knew that Zhou's ointment was a good thing.

Seeing that there was more and more money on the family's account, Du Wanchun found Aunt Zhou and asked her, "Mother, how much money do you have?"

Aunt Zhou took the account book and looked at it, saying, "This money is enough for us to rebuild several large houses."

Du Wanchun replied, "This is just the account book of our Cheng'an County shop, and it does not include the money from my second brother's shop in Beijing."

Aunt Zhou thought for a while and said, "Wanchun, let's divide the money into two parts, one for my uncle to recruit soldiers and horses, and the other for Feng'er to continue his business and expand the incense shop!"

Du Wanchun nodded, "Okay, mother!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately wrote a letter to Zhou Feng, asking him to open another incense shop in Beijing.

The Zhou family was getting more and more prosperous here, but the emperor was worried. He stayed in Qingzhou Prefecture for a month and did not find any news about the queen.

The old eunuch advised: "Your Majesty, let's go back to Beijing, otherwise Concubine Wu will be suspicious."

The emperor took a big sip of wine and sighed, "I always feel that the queen is here, but why can't I find her?"

The old eunuch thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, didn't the fortune teller say that the prince will have twins, a boy and a girl? Why don't we wait a little longer and come here in a few months to check who has twins."

The emperor thought it made sense, "There are not many twins in our Xuanyue country, so it is indeed much easier to check this way."
