Chapter 213
Chapter 213
Within half a month, the Zhou family opened in the rice shop of Qingzhou Mansion, and there was an endless stream of guests coming and going that day, Du Bangchun and Zhou Damiang watched from the side, with smiles on their faces.
When the villagers passing by saw it, they strode up and said, "Old Zhou's family, did you open this rice shop?"
Du Bangchun looked at it intently, isn't this Mrs
. Hu from Changliu Village? Mrs. Hu lives in the south of Changliu Village, and she has seen Du Bangchun several times in the past when she first got married.
Every time this Aunt Hu passed by the Zhou family, she would look inside, and said: "It's better to be a man in my family, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing to raise my three sons." The
words were full of disdain for Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou knew that she didn't like herself, so the two rarely interacted with each other.
No, the eldest son of Mrs. Hu's family works in a large family in Qingzhou Mansion, and she moved here as early as half a year ago in order to take care of her grandson.
Du Bangchun said with a smile: "That's right, this is the rice shop opened by our Zhou family."
Aunt Hu's face sank slightly when she heard this, and she frowned in disbelief: "Your Zhou family can still afford to open a rice shop, how did you find a good man to marry and get silver?"
Because she was not in Changliu Village during this time, she didn't know about the third prince, and thought that Aunt Zhou was a widow.
Aunt Zhou looked at her and said coldly: "Old Hu's family, if you don't buy rice, get out of the way, and the guests behind will buy it."
Aunt Hu's face turned green, especially when she saw the hairpin on Aunt Zhou's head, her eyes were full of jealousy.
She made way for the guests behind, walked to Aunt Zhou's side, looked at her headdress, and said, "Is the Zhu Hai on your head real or fake?"
Du Bangchun was also polite, "Naturally, it's real, and we won't buy the fake yet."
Aunt Hu's eyes obviously had a hint of anger, "Your Zhou family's life is getting better and better now, and you can actually afford to wear a pearl hairpin made of gold."
Du Bangchun was still unwelcome, "That's natural, our Zhou family now has several incense shops and rice shops, and we can still afford to wear a Zhu hairpin, but unlike Aunt Hu, who is now rooted in Qingzhou Mansion, unlike us who still live in the house in Changliu Village."
Aunt Hu was angry, but under Du Bangchun's words, she couldn't get angry, so she had to follow her words and said: "I also have the blessing of my son to be able to live in a big house in Qingzhou Mansion."
After she finished speaking, she raised her tone slightly, and continued to say: "Old Zhou's family, how are your three sons? Are they still farming at home?"
Aunt Zhou replied with a smile: "The eldest was admitted to the lifting of people, the second went to the capital to do business, and the third went to the border to find a position."
She spoke in a calm tone, speaking slowly, it was a very common sentence, but Aunt Hu's face was blue when she heard it, although her sons were all in Qingzhou Mansion, but they were all doing small jobs for large families, where could they compare to one of them, one opened a shop to do business, and one had an official position.
Aunt Hu was no longer willing to be convinced, she bought two buckets of rice and walked away.
Aunt Zhou saw her back and said to Du Bangchun: "If you see this kind of person next time, you won't sell rice to her."
Du Bangchun replied with a smile: "Okay, mother, but I guess she won't dare to come again next time." "
This is a loss of face, and if you dare to come again, you are asking for hardship.
Aunt Zhou pulled her around and went into the house, "You are tired after a busy day today, go into the house to rest."
Du Bangchun followed her into the house, and at this time saw Zhou Ruiyuan coming over with a big box.
She walked over suspiciously and asked, "Xianggong, what is this?"
Zhou Ruiyuan slowly opened the box, "Take a look."
Du Bangchun looked inside and saw a phoenix crown inside.
She looked up at Zhou Ruiyuan in surprise,
"This?" Zhou Ruiyuan replied softly: "This is the phoenix crown I built myself."
Du Bangchun looked down at the surprise phoenix crown carefully, and his heart was still full of doubts, "Xianggong, what are you doing with this phoenix crown?"
At this time, Aunt Zhou came over and said: "Bangchun, you forgot, today is your birthday." "
My birthday?!" Du Bangchun was shocked, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that today was really his birthday, but he didn't expect Zhou Ruiyuan and Aunt Zhou to remember it.
Aunt Zhou stretched out her hand and gently brushed away the broken hair on her forehead and said: "Bang Chun, you have been married into our Zhou family for more than a year, and you have suffered a lot with us for more than a year.
Du Bangchun looked up at Aunt Zhou and looked at Zhou Ruiyuan, seeing the gentle smile on the faces of the two of them, she was very moved, she took the phoenix crown and smiled: "Thank you, thank you."
Then Zhou Ruiyuan continued: "Come, I'll take you to a place."
Du Bangchun asked suspiciously, "Where is it?"
