The old man was very happy.

"The county magistrate of Wanzhou County..." Du Wanchun muttered to herself, and replied with a smile: "Okay, I'll go to Wanzhou County in a few days."

The waiter bent over and smiled and replied: "Okay, this is the post. County magistrate Qu said that you can take the post to the county magistrate's mansion to find him, and someone will take you to the mansion."

Du Wanchun took the post and took a closer look. The county magistrate's surname was Qu and his name was Qu Wenzhi. The name looked quite gentle, and she didn't know who he was.

After she got the post, she returned to her own mansion and told Zhou Ruiyuan about it.

Zhou Ruiyuan took her hand and said, "I'll go with you tomorrow."

Du Wanchun nodded, "Well, husband, I see that the mansion is still short of two servants, how about inviting you two to come?"

Zhou Ruiyuan shook his head, "No, I usually only come here during the day, it's okay to be poor."

"Okay." Du Wanchun replied with a smile.

After the two returned to Changliu Village at night, they went to Wanzhou County early the next morning.

Wanzhou County is relatively close to Cheng'an County, and it only takes about half a day's journey.

They set off in the morning and arrived at Qu Mansion at noon.

Du Wanchun handed the post in his hand to the servant at the door.

Not long after, two servants came out of the mansion to welcome them in.

Du Wanchun followed them through the front yard to the hall.

A man in white was painting in the hall. When he saw them coming, he quickly put down his brush and looked up at them, thinking: "Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, you are here."

Du Wanchun was surprised to see the man in front of him. Mr. Qu was very young and handsome.

Qu Wenzhi welcomed them in and asked the maids in the mansion to pour them each a cup of hot tea.

Du Wanchun picked up the teacup and said bluntly: "Master Qu, I heard from the servants at home that you want us to open a shop in Wanzhou County."

Qu Wenzhi took out a plate of cakes and placed it in front of her, "Yes, there was a rice shop in Wanzhou County before, but the shopkeeper died of illness some time ago, and the family property and shop were divided among several sons, and the rice shop was no longer open."

"Now if the people of Wanzhou County want to buy rice, they have to take a horse carriage for most of the day to buy rice in your Chang'an County."

Zhou Ruiyuan nodded lightly and said: "You are right. It takes half a day to take a horse carriage from our Cheng'an County to your Wanzhou County. If you walk, it may take a whole day. Ordinary people will only waste time and effort."

Qu Wenzhi nodded and said, "Just as Lord Zhou said, that's why I want Madam Zhou to open a rice shop in Wanzhou County. Madam Zhou, don't worry about the shop. I will rent a better shop for you."

Du Wanchun pondered for a moment and replied, "If we open a rice shop in Wanzhou County, we need to send someone to deliver rice every month, and we also need to send a reliable shopkeeper to look after the shop."

Qu Wenzhi poured them a cup of tea, "As for the shopkeeper, Madam Zhou can send someone you like. As for the others, I'm here. No one dares to do anything to your rice shop."

Du Wanchun wanted to hear his words. If their shop had him, the county magistrate, to protect it, their business would naturally be smooth sailing.

She curved her eyebrows and smiled slowly, "Okay, my mother and I will go back to make some preparations."

Qu Wenzhi stood up and bowed to her politely, "Thank you, Madam."

Du Wanchun quickly stood up and bowed to him, "It should be our Mr. Xie."

Qu Wenzhi thought that the wife of the Zhou family looked like a cunning businessman, but he didn't expect her to be so generous and gentle, and the stone in his heart fell.

Then Du Wanchun followed Qu Wenzhi to see the shop.

It was indeed a good location, in the most prosperous place in Wanzhou County.

After seeing the shop, Qu Wenzhi invited Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan to have lunch at the most famous restaurant in Wanzhou County.
