Who Told You to Study Clothes Here?

The trees swayed slightly and said, "It's no trouble at all, serving Wanwan."

They don't need anyone's command; they'll move everything back home.

Thousands of trees came today. Besides moving these treasures, the trees that had nothing else to do started moving the Zhao Family's house.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Zhao Family's house and said, "Isn't it inappropriate for us to demolish the Zhao Family's house and take it back?"

As they dismantled the trees, they said:

"What's wrong with it? I think the Zhao Family's house is quite nice, much nicer than the houses of the surrounding families."

Moreover, all of this wood is of the finest quality; it contains the remains of my brothers, and we absolutely cannot leave them here."

"This piece of wood is actually Phoebe zhennan wood!"

"All the wood in this ancestral hall is top-quality Phoebe zhennan wood, priceless."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the pieces of wood and said:

"Hey! Actually, I think this ancestral hall is pretty good; it's warm in winter and cool in summer."

Wouldn't it be wonderful to build a school for the children in our city?

The trees nodded and said:

"Great idea! I also feel that the children of Yanmen Pass are somewhat stifled. It would be great if we could build a large academy."

"By the way, the Zhao Family has a huge collection of books; we can make use of that."

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said:

"It's great to have a large collection of books! What Yanmen Pass lacks is books."

Many of the books were urgently transferred from various other bookstores. Also, aren't we about to open an academy?

I think the Zhao Family's house is quite nice; let's just use it as our academy at Yanmen Pass!

Let's call it Yan Mountain Academy. It sounds wonderful, it's just so beautiful.

The name has been chosen, the Old Scholar Tree nodded and said:

"You know what, this house is really perfect as a study."

That area has all been converted into student dormitories, this area will become a library, that area will be classrooms, and this area will be a cafeteria.

That's fantastic, absolutely perfect.

The Old Ancestor said, "I'll write an inscription for him tomorrow. My calligraphy is worth a fortune now; even a simple inscription will enhance his reputation."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "That's great!"

Zhou Wanwan discussed things with the Old Scholar Tree and her Old Ancestor for a while before going home to sleep.

The next morning, all the neighbors woke up.

"Oh dear! What happened? Wasn't there a big house here yesterday? How come it's all empty today?"

What's wrong with the Zhao Family? Are they worried about revenge from their enemies? Did they move away overnight?

"This is really not right! I was just saying hello to their family yesterday! They all moved out overnight?"

The Zhao Family then slowly climbed out of the rubble.

The neighbors were trembling with fear. "Oh no! A zombie has come back to life! What on earth is going on?"

When Zhao Mingzhu woke up, she was dumbfounded. "Where's my house? Where did our house go?"

Old Master Zhao Family woke up, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Am I dreaming? My family used to have hundreds of houses! How could they be gone?"

The Zhao Family were all awake at this moment. "Oh no! Our house is gone! Quick, let's go check if the storeroom is okay!"

Old Master Zhao rushed into the ancestral hall, saw that it was empty, and fainted.

The eldest son of the Zhao Family shouted, "Where is the royal physician? The royal physician, come quickly! My father has fainted!"

The second son of the Zhao Family roared, "Men! Surround this area and quickly summon the magistrate!"

The third son of the Zhao Family, quite drunk, got out of bed and said, "What's all the noise about? I was drinking until midnight last night, what's all this noise about so early in the morning? Can't a person get some sleep?"

He lifted the curtain and came out, saying:

"What happened? Good heavens! Where's my house? Where's my storeroom?"

I still have so much gold, silver, and jewels in my storeroom! It's all gone, all gone.

The entire Zhao Family was shrouded in gloom and filled with wails.

Zhou Wanwan was sleeping soundly in the stone house when she was woken up by the Third Princess and the Seventh Princess.

The third princess looked at her and said, "My lady, you are really quite composed. Why are you still sleeping?"

Zhou Wanwan stretched and asked, "Have you had breakfast? What's for breakfast today?"

The Seventh Princess chuckled, "Master, I'm afraid there won't be any breakfast today. The entire Zhao Family has been emptied out."

Zhou Wanwan got up, and the Third Princess helped her change her clothes. She saw that there were more than a dozen sets of clothes piled up in the room.

The Third Princess's lips twitched as she said:

Wow, you have so many clothes! And every single one of them is really nice!

This one is made of Yun brocade, this one is made of Shu brocade, this one is made of silk, this one is made of gauze...

Your family owns a cloth shop, right?

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:

"There are fabric shops, but all my clothes are custom-made."

I prefer understated patterns, so it looks rather plain.

The Third Princess looked at the clothes and said, "They are indeed quite understated. Each one costs several hundred taels of silver. What would you like to wear today?"

Zhou Wanwan casually pointed to a piece of clothing and said, "I think this green one is nice."

The third princess's lips twitched slightly as she said, "I think this pink one is quite pretty."

Zhou Wanwan shook her head. "Is pink pretty? It's too childish, too childish."

The Seventh Princess nodded and said, "Don't you think this light purple dress is absolutely gorgeous?"

The three nodded simultaneously, and then Zhao Mingzhu rushed in and said:

"Great! Zhou Wanwan, you guys still have time to research clothes?"

Zhou Wanwan blinked and said:

"If we don't study clothes, what do we study?"

Are you suggesting we study the Zhao family mansion? We can't figure that out either!

Zhou Wanwan glared at her and said, "Get out now, I need to change my clothes."

Zhao Mingzhu was furious. "Everything else is gone, so why is this stone chamber unaffected?"

Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes and said:

"Then you should ask who moved your Zhao residence? Why didn't they move this stone chamber?"

I doubt people would even consider this stone chamber worthy of their attention; it's too simple.

She closed the door, quickly changed her clothes, and went out.

She noticed that everyone in the Zhao household was staring at her.

Zhou Wanwan looked at her clothes and said, "Why are you all staring at me? Don't I look good in this?"

The third princess quickly said, "It looks beautiful, it looks beautiful! I think this is the best outfit the mistress wears, and her hair looks beautiful too."

The Seventh Princess nodded and said, "This hairstyle was designed by me, so of course it looks good."

The second princess walked over and said, "Zhou Wanwan, you seem perfectly fine here. Why wasn't your stone chamber moved?"

Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes and said:

"Second Princess, I don't know about these things either. I only found out about them after I opened my eyes."

Shouldn't you investigate this yourselves? Asking me? What would I possibly know?

The Crown Prince looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Only you have such ability. Who else could it be?"
