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

The gold was picked up, and the gold was picked up.

Zhou Zhao picked up the small piece of gold on the ground, looked at it again and again with wide eyes, "Brother, look, there is a piece of gold here!"

Zhou Ruiyuan pulled aside the grass in front of him, strode to his side, saw a small piece of golden thing in his hand, and asked in surprise: "Where did you get this?"

Zhou Zhao handed the gold in his hand to him, "I just picked it up on the ground, I don't know if there is any more."

After saying that, he squatted down and looked on the ground.

After pulling aside a pile of dense grass, it was all stones and black mud, and there was no trace of gold.

Zhou Zhao stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It seems there is no more."

Zhou Ruiyuan held the gold and looked at it, frowned, and interrupted him, "No, there is more."

Zhou Zhao looked at his elder brother in confusion, "Brother, I see there is only this piece on the ground."

Zhou Ruiyuan shook his head, then pointed to a small mark under the gold, "Look what this is?"

Zhou Zhao looked up and looked carefully, only to see a word "Lu" written under the gold, but because of the missing gold, a corner was missing.

He was suddenly startled, "This is the gold from my grandfather's house!"

Zhou Ruiyuan nodded, "Before my grandfather confiscated the house, housekeeper Sun ran away with a box of gold ingots. If I guessed correctly, this gold is most likely the batch that housekeeper Sun took away."

Zhou Zhao was stunned and looked at the gold again and again, confused and said: "But, didn't housekeeper Sun run away? How could the gold he took away be in the mountains?"

Zhou Ruiyuan slowly put away the gold and looked into the distance, "Housekeeper Sun's hometown is in Wanzhou Prefecture near Qingzhou Prefecture. If you want to go back to the village without being noticed, you have to take this path in the mountains."

Zhou Zhao suddenly realized, "This housekeeper Sun, when a disaster is imminent, he ran away with the gold. I think my grandfather will not let him go even if he becomes a ghost!"

Housekeeper Sun is considered an old man in the Lu Mansion. He has always been loyal. Who knew that he secretly left the capital with the gold left by Master Lu when the Lu Mansion was in great trouble.

Zhou Ruiyuan frowned and looked around. "The gold was originally packed in a wooden box. Now a piece of it suddenly fell out. Since he encountered some problems on the way back, we can look for it again. Maybe he hid some of the gold here."

Zhou Zhao nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll look for it again."

Zhou Suiyuan took a hoe and followed to find it.

The two brothers searched for more than half an hour, and finally only dug out a wooden box. Although they didn't find the gold, they verified Zhou Ruiyuan's statement.

Butler Sun did hide some of the gold in this mountain.

But where in the mountain? We have to look for it slowly.

Although the mountain in Changliu Village is not high, it is very wide. It takes at least one hour to walk from west to east.

Zhou Zhao sighed, sat down and said, "Brother, let's forget about it today. We'll come back tomorrow to look for gold."

Zhou Ruiyuan was also very tired. He looked at the sandalwood trees around him and nodded, "Okay, let's take these trees down today and come back to look for gold tomorrow."

After hearing this, Zhou Zhao lay down on the ground. Not long after, he stood up again and picked up an axe to chop trees.

Zhou Ruiyuan also stood up, patted the mud on his body, and helped to chop trees.

Not long after, the two of them carried two fine sandalwoods down the mountain.

When they were going down the mountain, they happened to pass by the Cao family.

Du Damei happened to see them and quickly brought two glasses of water to the door for them to drink.

When Zhou Ruiyuan and Zhou Zhao were drinking water, they heard Cao's voice calling from the Cao family's house.

However, Du Damei seemed to ignore her call and did what she had to do. After Zhou Ruiyuan and the others finished drinking water, she smiled and sent them to the front of the mountain.

After Zhou Ruiyuan and Zhou Zhao returned the sandalwood, they went back to the vegetable garden.

The two brothers fumbled and planted some vegetables in the vegetable garden.

Du Wanchun saw them go up the mountain, and made some tea at home, and then boiled some eggs and sent them to the vegetable garden.

The family was busy until dusk before returning home.

Zhou Ruiyuan took out the gold in his arms and told Du Wanchun about it when no one was around late at night.

Du Wanchun looked at the gold and said in surprise: "Sir, this piece of gold can be exchanged for at least one hundred taels of silver!"

Zhou Ruiyuan nodded, "Yes, that's right."

After taking the gold and looking at it, Du Wanchun pondered, "So, with the gold, we can buy a new shop."

Zhou Ruiyuan sat next to her, "Yes, we can indeed

We can buy a new shop, but now is not the time."

"Why?" Du Wanchun asked.

Zhou Ruiyuan replied: "The entire Qingzhou Prefecture is the territory of the Fang family. If we don't cooperate with them, they will definitely find a way to prevent us from doing business in Cheng'an County."

After hearing this, Du Wanchun hurriedly said: "How about this, husband, since we can't do business in Cheng'an County, it's better to open a shop somewhere else. In this way, the Fang family can't control us, and we can have our own shop."

Zhou Ruiyuan nodded, "That's what I mean."

Du Wanchun asked: "Husband, where do you think we should open a new shop?"

Zhou Ruiyuan raised his eyes slightly and looked into the distance. After thinking for a long time, he replied: "Beijing."
