First break up the relationship, then get rich, I can choose any handsome man in the world

"Xianchun!" Yu Xiuying looked at her daughter with a look of heartache and worry. Ever since Xianchun came back, she found that her daughter was worried. She had tried to test her daughter, but she refused to say anything.

Now that her daughter has said so bluntly that she doesn't want to get married, she feels even more worried.

Li Xiulan thought it was because her daughter was embarrassed, and instead promised Yu Xiuying: "Big sister, leave this matter to me, I guarantee that you will be satisfied."

Ye Shian's attention was also on Ye Xianchun. Ye Xianchun seemed to be particularly sleepy these two days.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Ye Xianchun made an excuse to go back.

Yu Xiuying also noticed that something was wrong with her daughter: "Xianchun, are you feeling unwell?"

"Maybe I ate something bad and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable."

Yu Xiuying told her: "Then let the village doctor take a look at it for you later."

Ye Xianchun nodded: "Okay."

When Ye Xianchun looked up, she saw Liu staring at her, which made her feel guilty for no reason and she turned her head to look away.

After dinner, Li Xiulan got on the carriage with her food and luggage. Liu wanted to go with her, but Li Xiulan insisted that she stay.

Dabao didn’t have enough fun and refused to go back no matter what.

Li Xiulan naturally agreed. Both the food and accommodation here were much better than those at home.

Yu Xiuying wanted to ask Yu Paner to stay for two days as well, but Li Xiulan did not agree. If this girl stayed, there would be no one to do the housework.

After everyone left, Liu finally had time to talk to Yu Xiuying in private.

"Xiuying, you said Xianchun worked as a maid for several years, so how did she come back?"

"What a coincidence, I met Shi'an on the road. Xianchun knew that there was a flood in his hometown, so he followed the refugees all the way north, and met Shi'an by chance." Yu Xiuying did not doubt him and was very emotional.

"Then Xianchun never told you anything?"

"That girl has had her own ideas since she was young. I asked her but she refused to tell me. I know her character. No matter what happened when she was a maid, she is still my daughter."

Liu sighed and said nothing more.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so as an old woman, she should not say too much.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of a small alley. Li Xiulan got off the carriage empty-handed, while Pan'er behind her was covered with bags. As for Yu Huaiying, he got off the carriage halfway to buy meat.

Several women in the alley were sitting at the door talking. When they saw her get off the carriage, they all asked curiously.

"Dabao's mother, where are you going? And why are you taking a carriage?" The person who asked this question was none other than Qian Cheng, the scholar's mother. The neighbors liked to call her the scholar's mother, and she was willing to be called that, after all, not everyone could pass the imperial examination and become a scholar.

"Hey, this is my eldest sister-in-law. Her aunt is worried about the child and insisted on sending him away."

"Aunt, isn't Bu Huaiying an only child in your family? When did he have an aunt?"

"It's a long story. My aunt has been separated from her family since she was young. She just found her relatives and took my mother-in-law to live in their mansion."

After that, he walked over to one of the women and whispered, "Scholar's wife, I have something to tell you."

"What's so mysterious?"

"Hey, let's go to your house and talk."

The scholar's wife was dragged into the house by her and asked: "Why are you being so mysterious? What's the matter?"

"Hey, let's put things aside for now. Take this money first."

The scholar's wife looked at the silver in her hand and asked: "Where did you get so much silver?"

"Isn't this my aunt? When she heard that we have suffered a lot of famine in recent years, she gave me twenty taels of silver without saying a word, and told me to spend it first and ask for more if it's not enough."

"Oh, are you just going to get these twenty taels of silver?"

Li Xiulan nodded proudly: "Don't look at them living in the village, the house is very good, and half of the people in the village work for them to farm."

"Oh, really? You're a big landlord."

"How can I lie to you? Count the silver and see if it's enough."

The scholar's wife was grinning from ear to ear. Qian Cheng needed money for his betrothal. Although five taels was not a lot, it could do a lot of things.

"By the way, what's the happy event you're talking about?"

"My aunt has a daughter who is just eighteen this year. She is very beautiful. She was previously a maid in a wealthy family and was delayed. Now she has returned home but has not found a suitable one. When I saw her appearance, I thought she would be a perfect match for your family's future."

"Oh, this..."

The scholar's wife was in a dilemma: "Oh, this is unfortunate. To be honest, my son Cheng has already found a girl he likes and plans to propose to her in the next two days."

Li Xiulan patted the scholar's mother's hand and said, "Oh, the engagement hasn't been made yet. Let me tell you, my eldest niece is so pretty that if you don't know her, you might think she's the daughter of a rich family."

"Is it really that good?" The scholar's wife was moved by what Li Xiulan said: "Mother Dabao, you are not kidding me, are you? Such a good girl hasn't been found yet at the age of eighteen?"

"Look, look, I've already told you that my eldest niece is a maid in a wealthy family, that's why she's been delayed. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see her later, and you'll know if what I said is true."

The scholar's wife waved her hands quickly and said, "I think we should just forget about it. After all, we have already made an agreement with the girl's family. If we go back on our word, it will only hurt the girl."

"Oh my, my dear scholar, you really make me anxious. You have only agreed to the marriage but have not yet proposed. Besides, I just want you to have a look. Maybe you two will fall in love with each other."

Li Xiulan has the best relationship with the scholar's mother, otherwise the scholar's mother would not have lent money to Li Xiulan.

"Think about it, your Qian Cheng will pursue a career in government. It's not easy to pursue a career in government. There are so many places to spend money. If Qian Cheng marries my niece, you won't have to worry about money. If your family's future is successful with my niece, you can expect a good life in the future."

Seeing that the scholar's mother was still hesitant, Li Xiulan simply used her trump card: "How about this, I will take you two to have a look from a distance, and then we can talk about it after we have seen it."

"Is this...appropriate?"

"Oh, that's perfect! It's settled then."

Qiancheng is the only scholar Li Xiulan knows, and he is also the best-looking young man she knows.

Everything has been going so smoothly recently, and Ye Shian suddenly had the idea to make a barbecue.

She told Xu Zhenniang about the ingredients she needed to prepare. Xu Zhenniang was now the cook of the Ye family. She was in charge of everything, whether cooking for the Ye family or for the workers.

Xu Zhenniang was curious when she heard what Ye Shian said: "I know how to grill meat and put it on skewers, but I didn't know that vegetables can also be grilled?"

Ye Shian smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when it's done."

Xu Zhenniang learned many dishes from Ye Shian and her cooking skills improved a lot. Seeing that Ye Shian was going to prepare new food, she also became motivated.

Under the pavilion in the small garden, Cheng Kuan had already set up the barbecue grill.

Ye Shian lit the charcoal skillfully, while Yinzhu helped him.
