Chapter 128 I wanted to give her all the good things.
Zhou Zhao is a prince. If he can win over the hearts of the people in the military camp, what can those old fogies in the court say when he goes to the capital in the future?
However, Zhou Zhao's expression gradually darkened. "It's just that after I left, there was no one to take care of the land at home."
There's an emotional connection to growing these vegetables; watching the seedlings you plant grow is like caring for your own children.
It's really hard to say goodbye.
The Third Prince patted him on the shoulder and said, "What's the big deal? With me here, your vegetables and rice won't die."
Zhou Zhao was slightly taken aback. Seeing the Third Prince's cheerful face, he was filled with gratitude. Perhaps due to his excitement, he smiled and said, "Yes, with Father here, there's no rush."
This call of "Father" put the Third Prince in a very good mood, and he had more energy to work tomorrow.
Aunt Zhou quickly said, "Zhao'er, what are you saying?"
Zhou Zhao pretended to be stupid and said, "Mother, didn't you say that from now on, when Third Uncle lives here, we have to call him Father, otherwise the villagers will be suspicious."
Aunt Zhou didn't know how to refute it for a moment, but she felt that this was not right.
The Third Prince quickly interrupted, "It doesn't matter what you call me, it's fine."
Seeing that he didn't mind, Aunt Zhou didn't say anything more.
Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan exchanged a glance and secretly smiled.
After the family finished lunch, they boarded a horse-drawn carriage and went to the county.
These past few days, the market in Cheng'an County has been busier than ever, with vendors lining the streets.
There were vendors selling hair ornaments, rouge, and porcelain.
All sorts of things, you name it.
Although Aunt Zhou and Du Wanchun had visited a few times, they always bought only the things their families needed most.
For example, cotton, cloth, salt, etc.
The Third Prince was different. He got off the carriage, went straight to a cosmetics shop, took out some silver and bought a bunch of rouge and face powder.
He carried the rouge and face powder onto the carriage, and handed them to Aunt Zhou with a smile, saying, "Zhou'er, this is for you and Wanchun."
Aunt Zhou was shocked. "Buying so much must have cost a lot of money!"
The Third Prince piled the rouge box in his hand into her arms, saying, "It won't cost much money. See if you like it. The rouge from this small place is probably not as good as the one in the capital."
Aunt Zhou looked down at the large pile of rouge in her arms, and was momentarily dazzled.
She was about to speak,
The Third Prince got off the carriage again.
He strode to a pastry shop and said to the shop assistant inside, "Osmanthus cake, chestnut cake, lotus flower pastry, poria cocos cake, and crabapple cake, give me some of each."
The waiter was overjoyed. "Alright, sir, please wait a moment."
At this moment, Zhou Ruiyuan also came over, saying, "And some peanut brittle, please."
The Third Prince turned his head to look at him.
Zhou Ruiyuan said slowly, "Wanchun loves to eat."
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince turned to the shop assistant and said, "Give me five catties of peanut brittle."
The waiter quickly replied, "Okay!"
The Third Prince then added, "Pack five catties of that Poria cocos cake as well."
Zhou Ruiyuan turned his head and looked at him in surprise.
The Third Prince looked ahead, slightly raised his chin, and said, "Your mother loves to eat this."
Zhou Ruiyuan was taken aback.
A moment later, the waiter handed them the packaged pastries.
The two men, both tall and strong, strode towards the carriage, carrying large and small bags of pastries in their hands.
When Aunt Zhou and Du Wanchun saw them come in, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"Buying so many pastries?" the two asked in unison.
Zhou Ruiyuan placed the peanut brittle in Du Wanchun's arms, saying, "There's not much, you can eat this first, and we'll buy more if you need it."
The Third Prince then placed the Poria cocos cake in his hand into Aunt Zhou's hand, saying, "Yes, not much. What's the big deal? Here, eat."
Aunt Zhou and Du Wanchun looked down at the things in their hands, their faces showing helpless smiles.
This is more than enough; it's enough for the two of them to eat for ten days to half a month.
The carriage continued on its way, and before the Third Prince could react, he got off the carriage and arrived at a jewelry store.
This shop sells all kinds of hairpins and ornaments.
