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

The old man was very happy.

Mrs. Wu bent down and picked up Wei Xun's jade pendant and handed it to Mrs. Zhao, "Grandma, take another look at this. Is it really from the Northern Di Kingdom?"

Mrs. Zhao took it in her hand, squinted her eyes and looked at it again and again, "Yes, it is this carving. My son went to the Northern Di once before. He said that he saw the royal relatives wearing such jade pendants on the road, and the purer the color of the jade pendant, the higher the status of the person."

After that, she held the jade pendant against the light.

"The jade pendant looks quite pure, without any flaws."

Du Wanchun and Mrs. Wu looked up at the same time, and both of them looked down.

Madam Wu quickly took the jade pendant from Mrs. Zhao and said with a smile: "This jade pendant seems to be picked up by my husband. It is probably the belongings of some nobleman."

Mrs. Zhao really believed it and said with a smile: "Your husband is so lucky to see such a valuable thing. It is estimated that it can be sold for a lot of money."

Mrs. Wu stuffed the jade pendant back into Wei Xun's hand and said with a smile: "I don't know. Maybe no one will buy it."

Mrs. Zhao pointed to the market outside the village and said, "Go to Chang'an County. There should be people who buy it."

Mrs. Wu looked up and smiled and agreed, "Next time I will go with Wanchun to try."

Mrs. Zhao smiled and nodded, then turned and left the Zhou family.

Waiting for Mrs. Zhao to leave, Madam Wu excitedly pulled Du Wanchun and said: "Wanchun, this jade pendant has always been worn by my husband. Could it be that he..."

She looked at Wei Xun as she spoke.

Wei Xun touched the back of his head, still a little confused, "Then I am from Beidi?"

Mrs. Wu frowned, bit her lip, and was at a loss.

Du Wanchun comforted them and said, "Don't worry, we can check slowly, maybe Brother Wei will remember it in a few days."

Mrs. Wu lowered her head, her face full of worry, "I'm just afraid that his status is too high for me to marry."

When Wei Xun heard this, he quickly pulled Mrs. Wu to him and said, "Don't worry, no matter what my status is, you are my wife, and I am your husband. There is no such thing as marrying high or not marrying high. As long as you have me in your heart, we are a perfect match made in heaven."

Mrs. Wu was very moved when she heard this, her eyes were slightly tearful, and she hugged Wei Xun tightly.

Du Wanchun watched from the side, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

In addition, Xiao Mianmian and Xiao Qing'er in the room waved their hands and smiled.

Wei Xun helped Mrs. Wu into the house.

After Du Wanchun bought the two plots of land from the Zhao family, he bought three or four more plots of land.

Wei Xun said he didn't want to eat free meals at the Zhou family, so he helped to farm.

Now Zhou Ruiyuan and the third prince are both in the capital, so Wei Xun is the only male in the family.

Wei Xun is quite smart. He listened to Du Wanchun, took some silver and found several young men in the village to farm those plots of land together.

Seeing how capable he was, Du Wanchun gave him and Wu Niangzi more silver.

The two of them could build their own house with the silver.

However, Du Wanchun still kept them, "Sister Wu, Xiao Mianmian can't bear to leave Qing'er, you should continue to live here."

Now Xiao Mianmian is half a year old and still needs to be fed. Wu Niangzi softened her heart and decided to continue to live in Zhou's house with her family.

The new house of the Zhou family is a small courtyard with three entrances, with a total of five or six guest rooms. Wu Niangzi, Xu Xiaomei and Zhuang Mama live here without taking up space, but make the house lively.

Days passed one by one, and Zhou Ruiyuan's imperial examination was about to begin.

Du Wanchun prayed silently at home.

Soon the imperial examination began, and Zhou Ruiyuan won the first place as expected.

In the palace, the emperor saw the list of candidates for this imperial examination and was a little surprised when he saw Zhou Ruiyuan's name.

Zhou Ruiyuan changed his name since he participated in the provincial examination, and the emperor had always seen his pseudonym.

He was quite happy to see that the top of the list was his adopted son's brother, and said with a smile: "This Zhou family is indeed extraordinary, and there are so many talented people in the family."

The old eunuch next to him smiled and said: "Yes, this Zhou family's eldest brother also looks talented, Your Majesty, you can promote him well."

After hearing this, the emperor sighed and said: "If my sons were still alive, they would probably be like them, full of vigor and talent."

"I wouldn't have a headache about choosing a crown prince."

Recently, Concubine Duan has been urging him to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible.

He doesn't have many children in the harem, there are a few princes, but they are not very capable.

Among them is a man named Liangquan

The fifth prince was timid and cowardly, but very obedient, and Concubine Duan intended to promote him.

Concubine Duan originally wanted to give birth to another child and then pretend that he was born by a concubine in the harem to be the crown prince, but she has been ill recently and her health is not good.

So, Concubine Duan summoned the emperor to her palace again, "Your Majesty, what do you think? Although Prince Wu is timid and afraid of things, he is still not bad compared to your other unlearned children. As long as the ministers in the court take good care of him, the country will not be destroyed."

The emperor frowned, he knew that Concubine Duan also wanted to control the next emperor, so he was hesitant.

Concubine Duan coughed violently, "Your Majesty, you must quickly determine the candidate for the crown prince, otherwise after I leave, and then after you leave, who will manage this great Xuanyue Kingdom!"
