The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 752 The best friend of the reborn daughter of the Duke's Mansion (21)

Su Xiangran spoke a few more words to Zhou Tianyu before leaving with Qing'e.

Looking at the other person's departing back, Zhou Tianyu felt indescribably happy.

Great! Miss Su doesn't mind her dark skin!

The old butler happened to be accompanying his young master to check on the crops in the fields these days, so he saw the two people talking.

He couldn't help feeling worried.

If this Miss Su was an ordinary person, the old butler would still be very happy, but she is the third prince's fiancée!

The look of his young master who seemed to be in love for the first time was really unbearable for an "old man" like him.

If I had given the girl clothes before, it was just to comfort her.

But this man who is usually so sharp-tongued and never backs down even in front of the emperor, now actually has a shy expression. Who would believe him if he said he didn't have any thoughts?

This is a really difficult matter.

Advise the young master to give up! He has finally come to his senses after so many years; support the young master! She is the future consort of the third prince, this corner seems a bit...

The old butler sighed and decided to see the situation first.

After all, emotions are hard to control. Maybe the young master is just in a spur of the moment mood?

"Young Master, you haven't seen the land over there yet. Do you want to go over now?" The old butler reminded Zhou Tianyu when he saw that he hadn't looked away.

"Oh! Okay!" Zhou Tianyu came back to his senses, and then walked towards another experimental field with the old butler.

Seeing that the young master was in a good mood, the old butler couldn't help but "throw cold water" on him: "Young master, Miss Su is the third prince's fiancée. I think you should keep your distance from her."

"It's okay!" Zhou Tianyu said confidently while checking the crops in the field, "This marriage won't last long."

Hey! The old butler was stunned by this, so he asked tremblingly: "Young Master, are you planning to snatch someone from the Third Prince?"

"Zhao Jiaheng is very ambitious!" Zhou Tianyu recalled the first time he met Su Xiangran. "He should have found a new candidate for his wife. I will wait and see. As long as I grasp the opportunity well, I will naturally have a wife."

Is this still possible? The old butler felt relieved when he saw that his young master seemed to be confident.

"Oh, by the way, pass the order down and have our shop keep a close eye on it." Zhou Tianyu thought for a moment and said, "Keep an eye on places like rouge shops and restaurants. If the Third Prince appears with other women, be careful.

By the way, I have agreed with my cousin Baili Jin to have his men look after it for me, after all, his East Pavilion is a good place to please people."

Although the Zhou family had been agricultural officials for generations, they were not poor.

To be precise, it was Zhou Tianyu's father's generation that started to become wealthy, because Zhou Tianyu's mother came from the royal merchant family - the Baili family.

The most famous Dongge in the capital is the property of the Baili family.

Father Zhou was different from many previous generations of the Zhou family. He did not like farming and preferred doing business. It was at that time that he met Baili Yingying, the eldest daughter of the Baili family.

After the two got married, the Zhou family's business flourished.

This is probably the basic way of thinking of businessmen: if they have money, they want to be richer. This adventurous couple handed the six-year-old Zhou Wenyu over to Grandpa Zhou, and then they started to engage in ocean-going ship trade.

The first two times, the sea voyages went smoothly, and the imported goods brought back were in short supply, with profits of dozens of times.

When they went out to sea for the third time, the couple decided to go along.

One is to see the customs of different countries, and the other is to better understand the needs of the other party so that you can be more accurate when purchasing goods in the future.

But this time, the entire fleet, including several other ships, encountered unprecedented winds and waves, and no one survived.

Zhou Tianyu was only nine years old that year, and Grandpa Zhou had experienced the death of a young person.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a little grandson to raise, I'm afraid Mr. Zhou would have never recovered.

The Baili family was not much better off, because it was not only Baili Yingying who went out to sea this time. There were about a dozen people from both the direct and side branches who went.

The end result was that when they went there, they were in high spirits and every household thought they could make a lot of money.

A month later, news of the shipwreck spread, and the families there cried loudly, with white banners hanging all over their doorways.

There was a time when the Baili family’s business almost came to a halt, after all, so many of their leaders died at once.

Fortunately, the education of the Baili family was relatively successful. Many children aged thirteen or fourteen stood up at this moment. They took on the responsibilities of their parents and took over the Baili family's business.

Among them, the one with the most outstanding ability is the current head of the Baili family, Zhou Wenyu’s cousin, and the brother of the boss of Dongge, Baili Yong.

Their father is Zhou Wenyu's uncle, and he also went to sea with Baili Yingying back then.

This is also a rebellious Lord!

Of course, the Baili family could not arrange for both of them to go out to sea. It was Zhou Wenyu's uncle Baili Ao who secretly mixed in with the sailors and went with them.

If not for the discovery of his letter later, everyone would have thought that Baili Ao was missing rather than died in a shipwreck.
