After being forced to marry by her stepmother, the Koi wife brings prosperity to the whole family

The two of them were very happy.

Du Wanchun heard the sound outside the house and turned around to look outside. It was Zhou Ruiyuan who came back.

"Sir, how was the result of the exam today?" Du Wanchun walked up to him and asked with a smile.

Zhou Ruiyuan came forward to support her and replied with a smile: "I got the first place."

Du Wanchun was delighted to hear that, "That's great."

After that, she called out to Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince in the house: "Mother, Uncle, Ruiyuan got the exam!"

Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince were delighted and turned to Zhou Ruiyuan.

"That's great. I got the exam this time. Next time I'll go to the capital to take the exam." Aunt Zhou said with a smile.

After hearing this, the Third Prince said with a slightly gloomy look: "It's a good thing to pass the imperial examination, but it's inevitable to meet the emperor during the palace examination..."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhou slowly stopped smiling, "We will meet sooner or later. Ruiyuan has discussed with us that when the time comes, we will disguise ourselves to participate in the palace examination. The emperor may not recognize us."

The Third Prince looked at Zhou Ruiyuan, pondered for a moment, and said: "Don't worry, I will be there by then, there will be absolutely no problem."

Zhou Ruiyuan nodded slightly, "Thank you, Third Uncle."

The Third Prince smiled and said: "Don't be so polite with me."

After he finished speaking, he took out a lot of books and some fine pens, ink, paper and inkstone from a box behind him.

"Ruiyuan, use these first. If they are not enough, tell me."

Zhou Ruiyuan took them in his hand and thanked him again, "Third uncle, thank you for the expense."

The Third Prince smiled and said, "No, these are all from my palace. It doesn't cost much money."

Mrs. Zhou got up and packed up her things while saying, "Okay, you two must be hungry. I made some tofu today and tofu soup. Come and try it."

The Third Prince was stunned after hearing this, "Made tofu?"

Mrs. Zhou nodded, "Sister Wang has a stone mill at home. I ground some beans at her home and made a big pot of tofu."

As she said that, she turned around and went to the kitchen to bring out the tofu.

The Third Prince hurriedly chased after her, "Let me do it, let me do it, you go and rest."

Mrs. Zhou had just stepped into the kitchen when she was pushed out by the Third Prince.

The Third Prince rolled up his sleeves, changed his appearance as a country gentleman just now, and bent over to work.

After the family had finished their meal, Du Wanchun took out a blueprint and said, "Mom, Uncle San, I saw that there is a small mound behind our house. Why don't we buy this land and build a new house?"

Mrs. Zhou had wanted to build a new house for a long time, but her land was too small.

Mrs. Zhou and Prince San came over to take a look and said, "Okay, but this land seems to belong to the Zhu family. I don't know if they will sell it."

Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Let's go ask tomorrow."

Mrs. Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, let's ask first. If they sell it, we will buy it, so that we can build a big house."

Du Wanchun nodded slightly.

The Zhu family used to be a neighbor of the Chen family, and the small mound behind them was their land.

But later, the son of the Zhu family passed the examination and became a scholar, so the family moved to Cheng'an County, leaving only the empty land.

It happened that the son of the Zhu family also participated in the provincial examination this time.

Aunt Zhou seemed to have thought of something and asked him, "Ruiyuan, how did the second son of the Zhu family do in the exam this time?"

Zhou Ruiyuan thought for a while and replied, "I remember that his name was not on the list."

Aunt Zhou's face darkened, "It seems that he failed the exam!"

Zhou Ruiyuan nodded slightly, "I saw the second son of the Zhu family once in the exam room. He is self-righteous, so it is normal for him to fail the exam."

Aunt Zhou nodded slightly, "We must be careful when we go to the Zhu family tomorrow."

Du Wanchun understood her meaning and said with a smile, "Mom, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Aunt Zhou's face gradually improved, "I am not afraid that the Zhu family will not sell the land."

Du Wanchun comforted her, "Don't worry, even if they don't sell it, we have other ways."

"That's fine." Aunt Zhou responded thoughtfully.

The next day, after lunch, Aunt Zhou and Du Wanchun took a carriage to Cheng'an County.

The Zhu family lived in a small alley.

Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou parked the carriage at the entrance of the alley, then walked into the alley and came to the door of Zhu's house.

Aunt Zhou knocked on the door, "Aunt Zhu, are you home?"

Zhu's house was quiet.

Aunt Zhou knocked on the door again, "Aunt Zhu, are you home?"

Du Wanchun also helped knock on the door.

Not long after, the door opened and someone came out.

A man in a grey gown.

Du Wanchun looked at him and guessed that he should be the son of this family.

When Zhu Laoer saw the person coming, he asked impatiently: "Who are you looking for?"

Aunt Zhou smiled and said: "You must be Laoer. I am from the Zhou family in Changliu Village. I used to live next door to your house."

When Zhu Laoer heard that it was a member of the Zhou family, his face immediately darkened, "Why are you looking for me?"

Aunt Zhou glanced into the house and said: "I want to find your parents to see if your family's land in Changliu Village is for sale."

Zhu Laoer didn't even think about it, frowned and said sternly: "If you don't sell it, leave quickly."

Aunt Zhou saw his expression and thought that he was afraid that he didn't have enough silver, so she hurriedly said: "We will pay thirty taels to buy it."

Thirty taels is already a large sum for ordinary people.

Knowing that Zhu Laoer was even more angry, he shouted at them, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? I won't sell it if I say so."

Du Wanchun saw that he was so emotional, and probably guessed what was going on, so she softened her voice and said, "Second Master Zhu, whether to sell this land or not, it's better to tell your parents first."

Zhu Laoer snorted coldly, "Look at what you said, can't I make the decision on my family's land?"
