The fire raged in front of Master Yu, and his storehouse was gradually eroded by the fire. He was so anxious that he kept pounding the ground, "There is rice from our Yu family everywhere. If it is burned, how can the rice shop business be done!"

The housekeeper pulled him and said, "Master, the things are burned. If you rush in, I'm afraid you will lose your life."

After hearing this, Master Yu gritted his teeth and gradually calmed down. He raised his head and could only watch the fire continue to burn his rice.

The fire burned all night, and the whole Yu family became a ruin the next morning.

Master Yu sat at the door with a gray face and a dull look.

At this time, the servants who went to Changliu Village to set fire at night also came.

They looked at the scene in front of them and were all surprised, "Master, what's going on?"

Master Yu slowly raised his head and looked at them, "Last night, the candle in my study accidentally ignited the bed curtain and caught fire."

The servants sighed, "What should we do!"

Master Yu stood up and asked them, "What happened last night?"

The servants immediately came to their senses, lowered their heads and stammered, "Master, we didn't burn the Zhou family's fields last night."

"No?" Master Yu was shocked.

The servants bent over and shrank back, "Yesterday we went to the Zhou family's fields, and just when we were about to light a fire, we found a group of wolves."

"A group of wolves?" Master Yu asked in surprise.

The servants nodded one after another.

Master Yu was so angry that he vomited blood. He didn't set the other party's fields on fire, but he accidentally set his own house on fire.

He held the wall and fell directly to the ground.

Soon, the news of the fire at the Yu family spread to Changliu Village.

Aunt Zhou sighed, "A good rice merchant is probably finished now."

Du Wanchun held the child, walked to the door, and looked out, "Yes, I heard that all the rice in the warehouse is gone."

Aunt Zhou had an idea, "There is no grain in the Yu family rice shop in Qingzhou Prefecture. Why don't we open a rice shop there now, just in time to fill the gap."

Du Wanchun listened and thought it was a good idea, "Okay, Ruiyuan and I will go to Qingzhou Prefecture again tomorrow. It just so happens that we saw a few shops yesterday."

Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to the rice warehouse to see how much rice is left."

Du Wanchun followed her.

The rice in the rice warehouse was more than they thought. They thought it would not be enough to sell, but now they think it should be just right.

Aunt Zhou sighed and said, "If Zhao'er were here, maybe we could harvest the rice in our fields soon."

Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry. I'll hire some farmhands in a few days and plant some more rice."

Aunt Zhou nodded with a smile.

The next day, Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan came to Qingzhou Prefecture again and bought the two shops they had chosen yesterday.

When they left, they happened to meet the down-and-out Mr. Yu.

Because the rice at home was gone, Mr. Yu not only couldn't do business, but also owed a lot of money to the farmhands at home. For this money, he decided to go to the capital to ask his cousin, who was a concubine, for help.

The carriages of the two happened to pass by.

Du Wanchun looked back and said, "Sir, that's Mr. Yu's carriage."

Zhou Ruiyuan saw it and raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that he is going to the capital."

Du Wanchun replied, "I'm afraid he can't be saved if he goes to the capital."

Zhou Ruiyuan continued to drive the carriage and said slowly, "Wanchun, do you want to go to the capital?"

Du Wanchun looked back at him and said with a smile, "Yes."

Zhou Ruiyuan looked ahead and said slowly, "I will take you to the capital for the imperial examination next month."

Du Wanchun's face was immediately full of joy, "What about Mianmian and the others?"

Zhou Ruiyuan held the reins in one hand and hugged her with the other hand and said, "My mother and Madam Zhuang are here, you can rest assured."

Du Wanchun leaned on his shoulder with a smile on her face.

In the capital, Zhou Feng was about to marry Miss Han.

The emperor was more and more fond of his adopted son. Not only did he help him arrange the wedding, but he also opened several spice shops for him in the capital.

These were all unexpected by Zhou Feng.

But it didn't seem to do him any harm.

Zhou Feng put all the money he earned during this period together, thinking that he would send the money home after a while.

Because of the emperor's care, many merchants in the capital were trying to curry favor with him, and every day they either sent him paintings or jade.

Zhou Feng was not polite and collected them all, thinking that

Send them all home.

As the wedding day was approaching, Zhou Feng received a letter from Zhou Ruiyuan.

Zhou Ruiyuan was going to bring Du Wanchun to attend his wedding ceremony, and it happened to be the examination next month.

Zhou Feng was a little surprised. It seemed that his elder brother was also ready to meet the emperor.
