The rice in this Wanzhou County restaurant is made from Zhou's rice, which is full and delicious, so the business is very good.

The restaurant owner saw that it was the Zhou family's owner who came, and immediately welcomed them, took them to the best box in the restaurant, and served them the most expensive dishes in the restaurant.

In order to avoid suspicion, Zhou Ruiyuan asked them to return all the dishes and replaced them with a few ordinary dishes.

Qu Wenzhi looked at him with great admiration. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he called him Brother Zhou, "It is a blessing for Cheng'an County to have a county magistrate like Brother Zhou. I should learn more from Brother Zhou in the future."

Zhou Ruiyuan replied, "I have just taken office, and I should learn more from Lord Qu."

The two flattered each other. In the afternoon, Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Wanchun set off to return to Cheng'an County.

Before leaving, Qu Wenzhi also mentioned that the person he admired happened to be in Changliu Village, and there would be many opportunities to meet again in the future.

Du Wanchun smiled and followed Zhou Ruiyuan in a carriage.

The next day.

Du Wanchun looked at the account books of the incense shop and the rice shop today. The total assets of their Zhou family, not including the accounts of Zhou Feng in the capital, amounted to 30,000 taels of gold, which was rare in the entire Qingzhou Prefecture.

Even the wealthy Fang family in the past took ten years to accumulate so much property.

The Zhou family has only been doing this for more than a year.

Not only that, Aunt Zhou and Du Wanchun have always been rich but not showing off their wealth. The family still lives in a small house with three entrances in Changliu Village.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have bought a large house with three entrances in Cheng'an County long ago.

Du Wanchun rarely wears gold and silver when she goes out. She wears a red hairpin that Zhou Ruiyuan gave her in the past. It looks good, but not eye-catching.

Because of this, people in the nearby villages don't know how rich the Zhou family is. They just think they are still small vendors in the past, which is why there is the incident of Chu Matchmaker.

But now it's good. No matter how rich the Zhou family is, now that the Zhou family has a county magistrate, no one dares to bully them anymore.

Even Aunt Wang, Zhang Qiuhe, Xu Niangzi, and Du Wanchun's eldest aunt, who usually follow the Zhou family, have benefited from it.

Recently, people who came to Aunt Wang's house to propose marriage almost broke their door.

This time, it was Liu Matchmaker who came to propose marriage to Aunt Wang's family.

This matchmaker Liu was the one who brought Du Wanchun into the Zhou family.

Before she went to find Aunt Wang, she first found Du Wanchun.

"Wanchun, you are now the wife of the county magistrate." She waved the fan in her hand with a smile on her face.

Du Wanchun poured her a cup of tea, "Thank you Aunt Liu for this."

Matchmaker Liu held the cup and smiled, "No need to thank me. I will feel at ease if you can live well."

As she spoke, her eyes rolled and she finally said, "Wanchun, I have a niece who is sixteen this year. She is the same age as Wang Qiu from your Aunt Wang's family."

Wang Qiu happened to be twenty years old, just the right age for marriage.

Du Wanchun heard her say this and probably guessed something, so she smiled and said, "Aunt Liu, you may need to ask Wang Qiu in person to see if he is willing."

Matchmaker Liu sighed and said, "I asked Wang Qiu, so I came to you, Wanchun."

Du Wanchun pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What did Wang Qiu say?"

Matchmaker Liu looked outside the door and whispered, "Wang Qiu said he has someone he likes. I saw that he has been getting close to Zhang Qiuhe recently. Maybe he has fallen in love with Zhang Qiuhe."
