I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

Pei Yuan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Although Xuanyuan Ke looked calm, his hands under the table tightened a bit.

If things were really as Rong Xiuyun and Zhu Qiuqi said, then he would like to open this rouge shop by himself.

Zhang Siyuan came back from the kitchen and sat next to Zhu Qiuqi, separating Zhu Qiuqi and Rong Xiuyun.

"Qiu Qi, do you want to open a shop by yourself?"

Zhu Qiuqi shook his head, "I asked Chenchuan and Zeyang before. If they want to take the imperial examination in the future, we can no longer open a shop."

Zhang Siyuan was stunned, they really had such a rule in Dazhou.

Businessmen proton cannot take the imperial examination.

They had never asked the children about this before, but now they were going to the capital, and Zhu Qiuqi wanted to take the children with them.

Since they have chosen to go to school, there is no harm in letting a few children try the imperial examination.

Even if they don't want to become officials in the court in the future, they can still do other things.

Zhang Siyuan was naturally happy when he heard that Zhu Qiuqi said that several children in his family wanted to take the imperial examination.

But suddenly thinking of Zhang Siwang and Zhou Meixue's shop, Zhang Siyuan became worried again.

"Brother and sister-in-law..."

Zhu Qiuqi knew what he wanted to ask. Zhou Meixue and Zhang Siwang still had a braised pork shop.

In the past, none of them asked the children what they thought, but now that they know that they are going to take the imperial examination, it may be a little difficult for the eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Zhang Siyuan thought there was a way for his nephew to take the imperial examination, but now that the great cause has not been accomplished, those in the court are still watching secretly.

Your Highness cannot make any mistakes now. It would be bad if someone gets caught.

Zhu Qiuqi looked at his expression and knew what he was worried about.

"Don't worry, my eldest brother and sister-in-law's shop is cooperating with Zhenxiuge. With the Li family in the way, no one will keep an eye on my eldest brother and sister-in-law."

"And our pharmacy, doesn't it also have Jishitang?"

Zhang Siyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Xuanyuan Ke on the side sighed, he knew what Zhang Siyuan was worried about.

This was because he was worried that his leverage would fall into the hands of those people. Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Ke looked at Zhang Siyuan with a little more caution.

As a prince, it is a great blessing to have a loyal person by your side.

But if this person is a close friend, that is the second blessing.

"Siyuan, don't worry. Just look at the dignitaries and aristocratic families in the capital. Who doesn't have a few shops under their name? Even their servants probably have more than one shop."

Pei Yuan nodded. His stepmother's personal maid had several shops under her name.

It is self-evident where the money for this shop comes from.

Thinking of this, Pei Yuan's expression couldn't help but become a little colder.

If one day His Highness succeeds in his great career, he will get back every bit of his mother's dowry.

"Then this rouge and gouache shop..."

If opening a shop was nothing, he would rather let Zhu Qiuqi open a shop by herself.

Although she didn't know what Zhu Qiuqi was thinking, she could tell that Zhu Qiuqi was still very interested in the store.

When Zhu Qiuqi heard this, she couldn't help but glance at him.

Why is this person so stubborn?

"Did you choose not to hear what I just said?"

Zhang Siyuan remained silent.

Seeing Zhang Siyuan being trained, Xuanyuan Ke and Pei Yuan felt relieved.

Just now when the two of them were frustrated at Zhu Qiuqi's place, Zhang Siyuan escaped.

Now that Zhang Siyuan is back, if they don't have a taste of this, their hearts will be really unbalanced.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiuqi couldn't help but sigh.

"Miss Han wants to open a shop, but she doesn't just want to open a shop."

Everyone looked at Zhu Qiuqi again, wondering what other reasons there were for simply opening a shop.

Thinking of the situation of the Han family, Zhu Qiuqi couldn't help but shook her head.

Magistrate Han is a magistrate who serves the people, but without the backing of his ancestors and an honest official who can serve the people without taking bribes, his family life is destined to not be very good.

"We all know that Magistrate Han is an honest official, and he has never taken bribes or corruption."

Pei Yuan raised his eyebrows, "How do you know, sister-in-law, that Magistrate Han is not corrupt or bribery?"

Zhu Qiuqi was helpless, "If County Magistrate Han is really a person who knows how to collect bribes, how can his home be as shabby as it is now?"

Pei Yuan touched his nose and said nothing.

Although he didn't go to the Han family many times, he still saw the situation of the Han family.

A county magistrate's mansion was left behind by the previous county magistrate, and there were not a single servant in the mansion to serve him.

Pei Yuan couldn't help but be speechless when he saw that situation.

If an uninformed person saw this, no one would associate the Han Mansion with the County Magistrate's Mansion.

Looking at Pei Yuan's expression, Zhu Qiuqi shook her head helplessly.

"Magistrate Han is an upright official and a parent official to the people. But his monthly salary cannot support a large family."

"Mr. Han is afraid that he will have to take the imperial examination in the future and he will not be able to do business. If Miss Han has such thoughts, I should help her."

"Magistrate Han is our savior in Qingshui County. I will never forget this friendship."

Zhu Qiuqi has never forgotten that when she encountered those people who made things difficult for her in the village, Magistrate Han helped her.

She still can't forget that Magistrate Han was determined to punish Zhu's family.

In the Zhou Dynasty, where filial piety was paramount, Magistrate Han could make the decision for her, which was indeed rare.

If it were another official, I'm afraid they wouldn't be involved in this matter.

After all, the crime of 'unfilial piety' is not easy to punish. If it arouses public anger, I'm afraid it will leave a bad reputation.

But Magistrate Han insisted on getting justice for her. Just for this matter, Zhu Qiuqi felt that she should also help Miss Han.

Not only that, during the drought, if Magistrate Han hadn't come forward, their water tanker in Xiaozhangzhuang would have been snatched away by Sunjiazhuang.

Looking at the situation at that time, I was afraid that the whole village would suffer.

However, County Magistrate Han asked Master Xu to come over, and this was how the conflict between Xiao Zhangzhuang and Sunjiazhuang was resolved.

Not only that, when their business brought a lot of benefits to the Yamen, Magistrate Han not only did not commit corruption, but actually sent people to the severely affected places in Qingshui County for disaster relief.

Zhu Qiuqi herself came here from disaster relief, so she naturally knew what it was like to go there again.

At that time, Zhu Qiuqi understood that officials like County Magistrate Han were their real parent officials.

When several people heard Zhu Qiuqi's words, they fell silent for a while.

Yes, Magistrate Han is indeed indispensable for Qingshui County to become what it is today.

Xuanyuan Ke couldn't imagine it if it were those corrupt officials.

"Mrs. Zhu is right, I am too narrow-minded."
