Three years later.
A fire made all the people in Sujia Village disappear from the public eye, but at the same time, a caravan emerged from the Western Regions. This group of people was very united and everyone had their own duties. No matter whether they were young and middle-aged people or women, children or the elderly, everyone had their own things to do and performed their own duties.
In just three years, they quickly built countless industries, and had countless chambers of commerce and businesses under their names, all across the country.
At this time, in the most prosperous Jiangnan, in a magnificent small courtyard.
"Mother, look at my brother, he split my account book with one sword!!" A pretty girl with two buns on her back pouted, tears flashed in her big, bright eyes. She stretched out her lotus-root-like little arms and waved them to hug the woman who was sitting at the top and drinking tea leisurely.
On the other side, the little boy in brown clothes holding a short sword in his hand looked at his sister hesitantly. He wanted to pull his sister with his little hand, but he didn't dare. He just bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "Mother, I didn't mean to do it. Zhezhi was checking the accounts in the pavilion just now, and I accidentally-"
"Ruan Ruan, are you judging another case?"
At this time, the auntie came in. Seeing these two cute little kids, she immediately put on a kind expression, "Hey, Zheye Zhezhi, what's wrong with you? Come here and let me take a look."
Su Zhiruan put down the teacup, picked up a soft and sticky milk dumpling in one hand, looked around, and came to a conclusion, "So, Zheye accidentally split the account book that Zhezhi was checking when he was dancing with the sword, is that right?"
The two little kids nodded their heads rapidly, looked at each other, and then turned their heads away pretending to be angry.
"Well, Zhe Ye will apologize to my sister, and then have someone fix the account book. Then you and my sister can check the accounts together." Su Zhiruan looked at the two children and added, "After you make peace, mother can give you a gift."
As soon as the two children heard that there would be a gift for reconciliation, they immediately held hands.
"I'm sorry, Zhezhi, I broke the account book. Let's fix it together. Will you blame me?" Brother Su Zheye hugged his sister.
"It's okay, you will still be my good brother once you fix it." Zhezhi also tried to stretch out his little hand.
Looking at these two cute little balls, Su Zhiruan smiled helplessly.
"Hey, Ruan Ruan, these two children are actually..." The aunt sighed as she watched the brother and sister walk out hand in hand, then looked at Su Zhi Ruan, "Actually, they are that one's."
"Yeah," Su Zhiruan knew what she wanted to say.
Most of the villagers in Sujia Village who came out with her knew the true identities of the two children. The royal bloodline had been spread among the people, and this could not be spread to outsiders.
Nowadays, the more than one hundred people in Sujia Village are of one mind and are united in purpose. Naturally, no one would risk their life to act as a loudspeaker and speak nonsense.
"Zhe Ye Zhe Zhi are children from our Sujia Village. Ruan Ruan, don't worry, we will definitely not tell anyone." The aunt assured again and again.
Su Zhiruan nodded and took another sip of tea.
When the aunt saw how calm and composed she was now, her thoughts went back to three years ago.
At that time, everyone was worried about being hunted down and silenced, so more than a hundred people in the village, regardless of gender, age, women, children, the sick and the disabled, followed her out.
At first, many people secretly regretted it. After all, they had cut off all their escape routes and were following a woman like Su Zhiruan to make a living, with an uncertain future.
But soon, the methods displayed by Su Zhiruan impressed more than one hundred people in Sujia Village. After seeing it, they were so convinced and full of admiration.
She bought a store, set up a chamber of commerce, gave everyone a makeover, and then, under the identity of someone from the Western Regions, began to quickly build a name for herself in the state capital.
She arranges young and middle-aged people to follow her to manage stores, receive training, and open stores. Women who want to learn how to open stores can also follow her to learn. Those who don’t want to learn and cannot read can stay and take care of the children.
Schools were arranged for children of appropriate age, and teachers were hired to teach them. The children made progress in their studies, and some of them, who had a good foundation, even passed the examination and became scholars.
She has dabbled in clothing stores, restaurants, chambers of commerce, pawn shops, jewelry stores, etc. Some of her sales methods even shocked the old hands.
If an ordinary person got 5,000 taels of gold, he would probably buy a house immediately, spend the money like water, and enjoy life in the moment.
But what the Su family saw was that she used the money to build a big family. Later, every one of the people from Sujia Village who followed her out felt proud from the bottom of their hearts. Su Zhiruan's reputation became more and more famous, especially in the Jiangnan area.
As for Zhezhizheye, she gave birth to them safely after ten months of pregnancy.
Everyone in Sujia Village knew who the two children belonged to, but everyone kept their mouths shut and did not reveal any information.
The family was born with a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, which brought good luck to both of them. The older brother was born first, and the younger sister was born later. At that time, Su Zhiruan was reading a book of poetry and saw a line in it, "Breaking branches and leaves to find the willows together", so he named the older brother Su Zheye and the younger sister Su Zhezhi.
The aunts and grandmas, or the young wives next door all rushed to take care of the folding branches and leaves.
The two babies have been well-behaved and sensible since birth. They are smarter than other children and can speak much earlier than ordinary children.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
When they were very young, they each showed amazing talents. Zheye possessed an extraordinary talent in learning martial arts and was spotted by a hermit master at a very young age. This hermit master was even willing to give up his own free and easy life and teach Su Zheye martial arts.
Su Zhiruan also invited a world-famous teacher to teach his two children.
But her younger sister Su Zhezhi was even more different. Since she was in her cradle, she had been watching Su Zhiruan checking accounts and counting money with her eyes blinking. She even took the initiative to grab a golden abacus during the "Zhuazhou" ceremony.
After learning to talk and walk, Xiao Zhezhi was able to participate in the reconciliation of Su Zhiruan's business.
The brother and sister are only three years old this year, but they have already become famous and well-known child prodigies.
The folks in Sujia Village felt sorry for her for giving birth to a child alone, but were also grateful to her for leading them in the business and making it bigger and stronger. Now the Su family has become a new family with considerable fame.
Everyone in the entire Sujia Village respects her.
Even Erya, who used to dislike Su Zhiruan, no longer resented or envied her after witnessing her abilities with her own eyes. She obeyed Su Zhiruan's orders wholeheartedly and was willing to take care of the two children, Zhezhi and Zheye.
The attitude of the entire Sujia Village towards Su Zhiruan and her two children can almost be described as unconditional indulgence.
Su Zhiruan is the group's favorite and no one is allowed to say bad things about her. As for Su Zhezhi and Su Zheye, everyone knows that they are the children of Fu Huaichu and Su Zhiruan, and they are treated with unconditional love.
Su Zhiruan was well versed in business in his previous life. The business warfare tactics used in modern times would naturally be victorious in ancient times. Except for some difficulties at the beginning, the rest of his life could be described as comfortable.
"Ruan Ruan, this is the account book that Erdan reported today. There was a problem with Uncle Sanyou, so I would like to ask you to go over and take a look," the aunt told Su Zhiruan everything she needed to do today.
