As dusk fell, Zhang Wuliang's family had a harmonious dinner in the candlelight, with bursts of children's voices and laughter.

At the side door of Zhang's house, the housekeeper Chutou, who had just finished handling affairs, was standing by.

Oh no, now he should be called the housekeeper Zhang Chengcheng. Zhang Cheng walked towards his small courtyard in Zhang's house in the afterglow of the setting sun, stepping on the familiar path.

Five years passed quickly, and the original Chutou.

Zhang Cheng is no longer the farmer who only knows how to farm. He is willing to learn to manage the mundane business dealings in the house that Zhang Wuliang is unwilling to take care of.

Two years ago, Hu Zi sent the silver bills, and he exchanged most of them for property under Zhang Wuliang's instruction. It was originally a very difficult thing, but everything became very simple when the imperial edict arrived at the Zhang family.

The shops that the town was unwilling to sell to him, the manors that the countryside stubbornly refused to sell, the "nobles" who used to be so arrogant...

Now under his management and under the guidance of Zhang Wuliang, there are dozens of manors and shops under the name of the Zhang family.

Not only Shuangwan Town, but also the surrounding areas, and in order for Zhang Zhenyong to have a place to stay before taking the exam, Zhang Wuliang asked him to buy properties at every exam site: Chengde County, the prefecture and the capital, as well as on the way to the exam site.

Every time the accounts are closed at the end of each quarter, it is Zhang Cheng's busiest time. He has to conduct a preliminary review of the accounts sent from various places and then send them to Zhang Wuliang for review. At that time, he can most intuitively feel what a powerful master he is following. Although he always looks harmless.

If there are any trivial matters, he will handle them. He will only report if he really needs Zhang Wuliang to make a decision.

Although a little tired, but...

Zhang Cheng looked up and saw the person standing at the gate of the courtyard. The smile on her face the moment she saw him made him feel that everything was worth it.

Zhang Cheng walked over quickly and hugged the person back, and quickly took him to the courtyard. His movements were extremely gentle, but he complained: "Didn't I tell you not to wait outside? The weather is not hot yet, and it is especially cold in the morning and evening. You are now a married woman, but you don't know to pay attention to this. What if you catch a cold? Don't you think about yourself, but also about me and..."

"Okay, okay." Seeing that her husband was about to turn into a nanny again, Erniu hurriedly stopped him: "Look, your hands are still hot. I'm paying attention. How can you catch a cold so easily?"

She put her hand on the back of his hand to prove that she was not lying.

Zhang Cheng felt the temperature from the back of his hand, and then he gave up and carefully helped her into the room: "Be careful..." Erniu was more than eight months pregnant, and her belly looked a little big.

Erniu was a little amused: "Why do you need to be so careful?"

Zhang Cheng pretended not to hear, and carefully helped her sit on the stool. When he looked up again, he saw that the washbasin on the shelf next to him was still steaming. His heart was warmed, and he went over to wash his hands, and then wrung a hot cloth and spread it on his face, and sighed with satisfaction.

Erniu sat aside, stroking her belly and looking at him with amusement: "Every time you come back to wash your hands and face, you look like this. People who don't know would think you took some magic medicine?"
