After Qiuqiu led Chen Taifu into the house, three heads peeked out from a corner of the courtyard.
Qi Junlin: "Why did Qiuqiu bring Grand Tutor Chen home?"
Qi Junxian: "Grand Tutor Chen is my idol. I'll go say hello to him right now."
Qi Junlin stopped Qi Junxian, who was about to run over.
Qi Junlin: "Have you forgotten that you're presented as a fool to the outside world? Do you want Grand Tutor Chen to see you acting crazy? Or is our secret about to be exposed?"
Qi Junxian had no choice but to obediently return.
Qi Junzhou remained motionless, grinning foolishly, and looked in the direction of Grand Tutor Chen.
Qi Junzhou: "Second brother, don't worry, maybe Grand Tutor Chen will be our father in the future!"
Qi Junlin slapped Qi Junzhou on the head and said, "You brat! What nonsense are you talking about?"
Qi Junzhou pointed to the courtyard and said, "If you don't believe me, look!"
Qi Junlin and Qi Junxian looked in the direction Qi Junzhou pointed, and what they saw shocked them.
Chen Taifu's shoulder was partially exposed, and his mother was carefully applying medicine to him.
Meanwhile, Grand Tutor Chen was gazing tenderly at their mother.
Their sister, just like them, was watching the two of them with a grin.
After applying the medicine and helping Chen Taifu put on his clothes, Xu Ruyun lowered her head shyly.
Xu Ruyun: "The medicine is applied. Here, take this medicine and remember to apply it on time when you get home."
Grand Tutor Chen: "But it's inconvenient for me to apply it myself! How about this, I'll come here every two days and you can help me apply the medicine."
Xu Ruyun was about to refuse.
When Grand Tutor Chen turned around, he saw three small heads.
The three heads immediately shrank back.
Grand Tutor Chen smiled and said, "I heard that the three young masters have fallen behind in their studies recently, so I've come here to give them some extra tutoring."
Qi Junzhou could no longer control himself and ran out, excitedly saying, "I do, I do!"
Xu Ruyun glared at Qi Junzhou.
Qi Junzhou quickly said, "No! Not only am I willing, but my eldest brother and my second brother are also willing! We all like you very much, Grand Tutor Chen!"
Grand Tutor Chen nodded happily and said, "Alright! Then it's settled!"
Qi Junzhou hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes. It's a deal!"
Chirp chirped happily to the side.
【Very good! 】
There's another important matter. It seems like Mother alone can't handle stockpiling grain; we need to get Grand Tutor Chen involved. His help would be invaluable.
Chiu Chiu, standing to the side, tugged at Chen Taifu's hand and said, "Grain, grain—"
Grand Tutor Chen thought that Qiuqiu was slurring her words and calling for her mother, so he said, "Your mother is over there. Go, go find your mother!"
But Qiuqiu kept holding Chen Taifu's hand and said.
Xu Ruyun: "Now that you mention it, there's something I need Grand Tutor Chen's help with."
Grand Tutor Chen feigned anger: "If you call me that again, I won't help you with this!"
Xu Ruyun: "Jiahang—"
Grand Tutor Chen: That's more like it. If there's anything you need, just say the word.
Xu Ruyun: "I want to stock up on some grain, but I don't know where I can find it at a cheaper price."
Grand Tutor Chen: "Don't you have enough to eat? I have plenty at my residence; eat as much as you want. Come, let's go get it! No! I'll send someone over in a bit!"
Xu Ruyun shook her head and said, "No, that's not what I meant. The food we need isn't for us to eat."
Grand Tutor Chen: "What are they for? How many do you need?"
Xu Ruyun: "The more the better."
Grand Tutor Chen: "Very well! Although I don't know or understand it, I support whatever decision you make!"
Xu Ruyun nodded in satisfaction.
The largest grain merchant in the capital was controlled by the Second Prince's men.
They frequently inflated grain prices, causing widespread resentment among the people.
The Crown Prince had long wanted to deal with them.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Grand Tutor Chen discussed the matter with the Crown Prince, who also decided to take a gamble.
First, the crown prince instructed other grain merchants to lower grain prices.
People flocked to low-priced grain merchants to buy grain.
The Second Prince's men got anxious, thinking that grain prices would drop this year, so they had no choice but to start lowering prices as well.
When they lowered the price to the lowest possible level, the Crown Prince, Grand Tutor Chen, and Xu Ruyun bought up all their grain.
The new crop of wheat is about to be harvested, and grain merchants who sold the old wheat are also...
The second prince was still smugly pleased with himself, thinking he had made a fortune in business, unaware of what the future held.
