The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

After Qian tried many times, she saw that Zhou Yue was determined not to remarry and she was completely relieved.

Her idea was that if Zhou Yue wanted to remarry, she would give her a generous dowry and marry her off.

Or they could marry someone in and they would watch under their noses.

As long as Zhou Yue continues to be so good to the children, they will treat them as having another daughter.

In fact, this daughter-in-law is a hundred times better than his ungrateful daughter.

A thousand times better than that even more ungrateful son.

It’s better not to have those two things.

It would be nice to just live with these grandchildren in the future.

It is said that Zhao Shouzhong arrived at Liangcang Town and asked around for Cui Lao.

A few days passed, but there was no news.

During the time when Master Cui came to the town, everyone thought he was a weird old man at first.

Later, gradually, everyone knew that he was knowledgeable and a big shot.

Someone tried to ask him to name a child who was about to start learning.

Or ask him to write a word for a newly opened store.

He readily agreed to everything without any airs.

The reward was just a handful of vegetables and a bowl of noodles.

Mr. Cui was a generous and approachable person, and he soon gained the love of the town's residents.

Before they left, they gave some instructions.

They said that if anyone was looking for them, they would just say they knew nothing.

Therefore, the second son of the Zhao family, who was not good at finding people, came to the town and saw that they were dressed in luxurious clothes and had many servants.

The young man who was taking the lead was indescribably elegant and graceful in his every move.

He knew that these people should be the ones that Master Cui mentioned were coming to see him.

So everyone kept their mouths shut.

Zhao Shouzhong had no choice but to order the guards to continue searching in the nearby villages and towns.

He took a few personal guards and ran back to Yi County, where he stayed in an inn close to the Ning family's shop.

He didn't want to stay at the post station because there were too many people there and it was inconvenient for him to go in and out.

He changed out of his finery and put on the green Taoist robe commonly worn by scholars.

He took off the jade crown and put on a black futou without any decoration.

He suddenly transformed himself into a most common young student.

Zhao Shouzhong was very satisfied with his new image and went to the Ning family shop every day to sit and chat.

At the cloth and garment shop, most of the customers were young wives and young ladies, and he was not easy to treat them well.

He hung out between the liquor store and the grocery store, and was occasionally invited to sit in the backyard.

When the shop was not busy, he might be invited to stay for dinner.

This was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

The food at Aunt Zhou’s house is the best.

Even though the ingredients are simple, Auntie can always cook them deliciously.

She is able to maintain the original flavor of the ingredients while making them look, smell and taste good.

Zhao Shouzhong had two selfish motives behind his actions.

The first one is not something that can be told to outsiders.

The second one is not easy to explain, that is, he wants to invite Aunt Zhou to Beijing to open a restaurant with him.

To be precise, he was in partnership with his mother.

His mother loves to eat and likes to cook.

But how can I describe the food? I can’t say it’s delicious, I can only say it’s extremely unpalatable.

His father and brothers and sisters were all afraid of his mother cooking by herself.

Whenever they heard that their mother had a sudden urge to cook, or had created some new dish, they would find an excuse to go out.

He refused to go home for dinner once he left the house.

Only his father couldn't escape, because according to the rules, his father couldn't leave the house.

I think his parents are also very pitiful.

In that year's battle for the throne, my father, as the eldest son of the late emperor, lost.

His mother was from an aristocratic family, her family was the Duke of Weiguo, and she was married into the eldest prince's mansion just to take advantage of the situation.

Seeing that he could not only fail to benefit from the favor but also be implicated, Duke Weiguo quickly distanced himself from the matter.

When Daddy was imprisoned, they submitted a memorial exposing some of Daddy's past deeds.

In exchange for this, you will be less implicated.

Daddy is very open-minded about these things, but mom is very sad.

My mother was depressed for several years because of this, and after giving birth to my younger sister, she had no more children.

Although half-brothers were born one after another, mother didn't care at all and was heartbroken.

Fortunately, my mother was born with a love for food, and when my younger sister grew up, she became like her.

Led by my younger sister, my mother slowly started to eat various delicacies.

My mood gradually improved.

This time my little sister got lost and was found again, and my mother almost went crazy.

Aunt Zhou is truly his family’s savior.

He is the lucky star of his family.

So, if Aunt Zhou could bring her cooking skills to the extreme.

I'm going to Beijing to open a restaurant and form a partnership with my mother. Then she'll have something to do and won't have to worry about troubles all day long.

Secondly, my mother can taste Aunt Zhou’s cooking, and she will definitely be in a good mood.

The two of them could definitely become good friends.

It is said that "entertaining parents with colorful clothes" is filial piety. The way he plans for his mother is also a kind of filial piety.

To achieve this goal, we must first get closer to Aunt Zhou's family.

After finding out more about Aunt Zhou's background, no, her strengths, he could go back and tell his parents about the benefits of Zhou's dishes.

So that they would agree to put up the money and form a partnership with Aunt Zhou.

Zhao Shouzhong was making plans, but Zhou Yue was unaware of it.

All we know is that this young man has nothing to do every day and just hangs around his own shop.

Slowly, he walked into the backyard and started working for Yang Mo.

When Yang Mo returned to the village to discuss an item with Grandpa Ning, Zhao Shouzhong picked him out and volunteered to be the flower protector.

With these skilled guards following him, Zhou Yue felt much more at ease when the children were traveling between the county and the village.

Ren Pingsheng, who now knows martial arts, is living a life of drunkenness and debauchery in the mountains, while Jun Mo follows Master Cui and Master Ren, learning like a madman.

Brother Dao followed Jun Mo closely, no matter how Zhou Yue tried to lure him to come to the county to help look after the house.

It always refuses to do so.

In the mountains, it can guard its master and hunt wild animals every day, so it is unwilling to go to the county.

Zhou Yue has been thinking about whether he can find a few people who know some martial arts to protect his family business.

Although Wang Jin was frightened by Zhao Shouzhong's momentum, other minor officials did not dare to act rashly.

But I am afraid that there might be some short-sighted thugs and other merchants who are jealous of the good business of these stores and would try to trip them up or cause sabotage.

As the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.

Our future business must be expanded.

To provide support for Xuanmo and Junmo in their future imperial examinations and official careers.

It is also for the girls in the family, so that they can have the confidence to live a good life even if they don't get married in the future, and they will have choices and fallbacks if they get married.

When the business gets big, it is inevitable that some people will covet it.

From the small story, there are guards to protect against villain attacks.

Generally speaking, we must cling to the protection of authority.

From a short-term perspective, with big trees like Prince Ning's Mansion and Master Cui, they can be used from time to time to scare people with tiger skins.

From a distance, if a boy in the family can become an official, he will do so.

Since ancient times, aristocratic families have not distinguished between scholars, farmers, and merchants.

At the beginning, he might be a farmer, but gradually he became a wealthy man, had extra money, and started a business.

The family must provide for the education of promising children. If there are no direct descendants who are good at studying, they will look for ones from the side branches.

Then the children of officials would in turn protect their family’s land and business.

The same was true for the next generation, and as the years passed, a large and powerful family was formed.

It has been like this since ancient times and no one is exempt from it.
