Chapter 168

When Du Bangchun heard the sound outside the house, he hurriedly turned around and looked out, only to see that it was Zhou Ruiyuan who came back.

"Xianggong, how about today's list?" Du Bangchun strode up to him and asked with a smile.

Zhou Ruiyuan stepped forward to help her, and replied with a smile: "I won the first list."

Du Bangchun listened to a joy, "That's really good."

After speaking, she called to Aunt Zhou and the third prince in the room: "Mother, third uncle, Ruiyuan is in high school!"

After hearing this, Aunt Zhou and the third prince suddenly had a face full of joy, and turned around and walked towards Zhou Ruiyuan.

"Great, this time, next time I will go to the capital to participate in the examination. Aunt Zhou said with a smile.

After hearing this, the third prince said with slightly calm eyes: "It's a good thing to move in the middle of the palace, but it is inevitable that you will see the emperor during the palace examination......."

Aunt Zhou slowly smiled after hearing this, "Sooner or later, Ruiyuan discussed it with us, and when the time comes, the emperor may not be able to recognize it." The

third prince looked at Zhou Ruiyuan, pondered for a moment, and said, "Don't worry, with me at that time, there will be no problem."

Zhou Ruiyuan nodded, "Thank you, third uncle." The

third prince smiled: "You don't have to be so polite with me."

After he finished speaking, he took out a lot of books from a box behind him, as well as some fine pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.

"Ruiyuan, you use these first, if it's not enough, tell me later.

Zhou Ruiyuan took it in his hand and thanked him again: "The third uncle has broken the bill." The

third prince smiled and said: "Don't break the bank, these are all taken from my palace, and they don't cost much silver."

Aunt Zhou got up and cleaned up her things, and said, "Okay, you two are hungry, I made some tofu today, make tofu soup, come and taste it." The

third prince's eyes were stunned when he heard this

, "Made tofu?" Aunt Zhou nodded, "Sister Wang has a stone mill at home, and she grinds some beans in her house and makes a big pot of tofu."

As she spoke, she turned to the stove room to prepare to bring out the tofu.

The third prince hurriedly chased after him, "I'll come, let me come, you go and rest." "

Aunt Zhou just stepped into the stove room and was pushed out by the third prince.

The third prince rolled up his sleeves, changed the appearance of the squire, and bent over to work.

After the family had eaten, Du Bangchun took out a drawing and said, "Mother, third uncle, I took a look, there is a small mound of dirt behind our house, why don't you buy this land and build a new house." "

Aunt Zhou has long wanted to build a new house, but her land is too small.

Aunt Zhou and the third prince came over and took a look, "Okay, it's just that this piece of land seems to belong to the Zhu family, and I don't know if they sell it or not."

Du Bangchun smiled: "Let's go ask tomorrow."

Aunt Zhou nodded and replied: "It's okay, let's ask first, if it is sold, we will buy it, so that we can build a big house."

Du Bangchun nodded.

This Zhu family used to be the neighbors of the Chen family, and a small hill behind them was their land.

It's just that the son of the Zhu family was admitted to Xiucai later, so the family moved to Cheng'an County, leaving only the vacant land.

This township test happened to be attended by the son of the Zhu family.

Aunt Zhou seemed to think of something, and asked him: "Ruiyuan, how did the second son of the Zhu family do in the exam this time?"

Zhou Ruiyuan thought for a while and replied: "I remember that his name was not on the list.

Aunt Zhou's face sank, "It seems that she has fallen

off the list!" Zhou Ruiyuan nodded lightly, "I saw the second son of the Zhu family once when I was in the examination room, and I am proud of myself, and it is normal to fall off the list."

Aunt Zhou nodded lightly, "We must be careful when we go to Zhu's house tomorrow."

Du Bangchun said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, it'll be fine."

Aunt Zhou's face gradually improved, "I'm not afraid that the Zhu family will not sell the land."

Du Bangchun comforted her and said: "Don't worry, even if they don't sell, we have other ways."

"That's fine. Aunt Zhou responded thoughtfully.

The next day, after lunch, Aunt Zhou and Du Bangchun came to Cheng'an County in a carriage.

The Zhu family lives in a small alley.

Du Bangchun and Mrs. Zhou parked the carriage at the door of the alley, and then walked into the alley and came to the door of Zhu's house.

Aunt Zhou knocked on the door, "Aunt Zhu, are you at home?"

There was silence in Zhu's house.

Aunt Zhou knocked on the door again, "Aunt Zhu, are you at home?"

Du Bangchun also knocked on the door with help.

It wasn't long before the door opened, and out came a man in a gray robe.

Du Bangchun looked at it, guessing in his heart that it should be the son of the family.

When Zhu Lao Er saw the visitor, he asked impatiently, "Who are you looking for?"

Zhou Auntie smiled: "You are the second child, I am from the Zhou family in Changliu Village, and I used to live next door to your house."

As soon as Zhu Lao Er heard that it was the Zhou family, his face immediately sank, "What are you looking for me?"

Aunt Zhou glanced at the house and said, "I want to find your father and mother to see if your family's land in Changliu Village is sold."

Zhu Lao Er didn't think about it, frowned and said, "Don't sell it, you guys go quickly."

Seeing him like this, Aunt Zhou thought that he was afraid that he would not have enough money, so she hurriedly said, "Let's buy it for thirty taels." "

Thirty taels is already a lot of money for ordinary people.

Knowing that Zhu Lao Er was even more angry, he scolded them: "Don't you understand people's words?

Seeing that he was so emotional, Du Bangchun probably guessed what was going on, and said in a soothing voice: "Second son Zhu, whether this land is sold or not, it is best to tell your father and mother first."

Zhu Lao Er snorted coldly and said, "Look at what you said, can't I be the master of my family's land?"
