Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

The Dragon Boat Festival was coming soon. Zhao Dongjia, Xu and Bao, Zhao and Bao Heng's family came to Xiaolan's house. Both families came with everything. Zhao Dongjia brought a basket of eggs, eight rice dumplings, two jars of white wine and a piece of pork. Bao's family brought rice dumplings, pork, two big fish, two jars of white wine, two catties of tea and twenty catties of rice.

This gift is extremely valuable in today's turbulent times, and it would be very impressive even in peacetime.

It was already past noon, and Xiaolan, Xiaoting, Xiaoyan, Xiaowen, and Xiaohu were all studying with Mr. Huang. Yes, since Mr. Huang moved in, every child in the family had taken the initiative to study with him. At first, Xiaoting and Xiaoyan were reluctant to study, but Xiaolan forced them to go.

The three sisters' education was unanimously approved by their family. Now that the family had the means, both boys and girls had to go to school. Even if they got married in the future, their in-laws would look up to them if they could read and write.

After a round of greetings, and seeing that everyone was living a good life, several people happily took their seats.

Zhang also called Xiaolan and Xiaoting over. She knew that Zhao Dongjia had a good relationship with Xiaolan and would talk to her every time he came home.

"Miss Xiaolan, has your family hired a teacher to give lectures? You all are going to study with him, that's amazing." Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile.

When they first entered Xiaolan's house, they heard the sound of reading in the yard, and they were all touched. It was a great thing that the children in the family could study in peace in such a chaotic world. The Sheng family already had a smart girl like Xiaolan. If there was another scholar in the family, their family would have to change their family lintel. Besides, with Xiaolan at home, how stupid could the other children in the family be?

"It's no big deal. Our family started from a low point. Other children, who are our age, can already read and write. We are far behind." Xiao Lan said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhao, how did you meet?" Xiao Lan wondered how Mr. Zhao and the Bao family met. Although Mr. Zhao was the eldest brother of the Zhao family, she was a married girl after all, and the two families did not live together. How could they get together? She did not believe that there would be such a coincidence.

"Hahaha, I begged my brother-in-law to come along. After all, my family has something to discuss, so I asked him to come along." Shopkeeper Bao said with a smile.

Zhang took Zhao to sit on the kang in the inner courtyard, and Xiaoting served them tea.

The two of them got along very well. As they were chatting and laughing, their eyes fell on Xiaoting at the same time. Then they exchanged glances. Zhao leaned close to Zhang's ear and whispered a few words, and they both started laughing.

Xiao Lan was entertaining guests in the front yard. It didn't take long for her to find out why these people got together. It turned out that Zhao Dongjia came to act as a matchmaker for Bao Heng, and the Bao family had taken a fancy to Xiao Ting.

This time, Xiaolan's family didn't care about their dinner. After they finished chatting, they planned to go out. Xiaoting blushed and handed a basket of vegetables to Zhao, and the other basket to Xiaolan, who was responsible for delivering it to Zhao Dong's family.

"These are vegetables grown in our garden. Don't be disgusted. Take them home and try them." Xiao Lan smiled and put a basket of vegetables on Zhao Dong's carriage.

After seeing off Mr. Zhao and Mr. Bao, the whole family sat on the kang and chatted, and naturally the Zhang family also came.

Zhang held Xiaoting's hand and said, "This time, Mr. Zhao came here to act as a matchmaker for you. I plan to arrange your marriage with Brother Heng."

"Xiaoting, do you have any ideas? Are you willing?" Although Zhang thought the Bao family was good, she still paid attention to the child's wishes.

Xiaoting's face turned red with shyness, she lowered her head and said nothing.

"Mom, you just said that you were planning to arrange the marriage between Brother Heng and my sister. Why are you asking my sister again? Aren't you contradicting yourself?" Xiao Lan deliberately picked on Zhang's loopholes.

Zhang glared at Xiao Lan when she heard her say that. In fact, Zhang knew that Zhao had a crush on Xiao Ting a long time ago. But Xiao Ting was young at that time, so the relationship had never been resolved. She had tested Xiao Ting's feelings at that time and knew that she was willing. Now that the Bao family had asked Zhao Dongjia to act as a matchmaker, and the marriage was about to be finalized, she needed to confirm it again.

"You and Brother Heng are both young and not in a hurry to get married. I can't bear to let you go out so early. I want to keep you at home for a few more years." Zhang smiled and said, "The Bao family also agreed to this, but they want to settle Xiaoting down as soon as possible so that they can rest assured."

Xiaoting just turned fifteen. She is good-looking, gentle, and has first-class housekeeping skills. Besides, Xiaolan's family will only get better and better in the future. Xiaolan's ability has been proven. The current situation is still turbulent. As long as the situation stabilizes, Xiaolan's family will surely be able to soar to the sky. Everyone knows this. Besides, Xiaowen had studied at Zhaodong's house for some time before. His teacher has a high opinion of Xiaowen. Given time, he will definitely be on the list. Zhaodong's family must have discussed these things with Bao's family. Marriage is a good relationship between two surnames. He and Bao are uncles. The Bao family and Xiaolan's family will be married, and the Zhao family will also be related to Xiaolan's family in the future. It will be easier to talk about business and trade in the future.

Nowadays, marriage is not only about marrying two families, but also about consolidating the business alliance between the two families. Although the Sheng family is marrying the Bao family, Manager Zhao still attaches great importance to it.

Of course, Xiaolan's family didn't think so much about it. The reason why Zhang was attracted to the Bao family was mainly because of Bao Heng. She didn't understand these business alliances. Compared with her daughter's happiness, these were not worth mentioning.

Xiaolan's family will only get better and better in the future. With Xiaolan, the god of wealth, there is no need to worry about the family's wealth. If Xiaowen passes the imperial examination and returns, the Sheng family will be completely different from what it is now. The Bao family is so eager to marry Xiaoting because they are worried that Xiaolan's family will become more and more powerful in the future and they will not be able to get close to her.

"Brother Heng is a good kid, a down-to-earth child. Why do I like the Bao family? It's because I can't bear to let Xiaoting marry far away. Now the Bao family lives in the provincial capital, and our family has also purchased a property in the provincial capital. No matter whether she lives in the provincial capital or the county town in the future, Xiaoting can be taken care of by us. What's more, our family is on good terms with the Zhao family. The Zhao family is Zhao's maiden family. Even if she doesn't want to give face to the monk, she has to give face to the Buddha. Xiaolan will definitely be taken care of if she marries into their family." Zhang said.

"That's right. The Bao family is small in number. After Xiaoting marries into the Bao family, she can just live her own life behind closed doors. She won't have many mothers-in-law to serve. Such a comfortable life is better than anything else." Xin said.

"That's right. Besides, the Bao family is very wealthy. Xiaoting doesn't have to work in the fields if she gets married. I think this marriage is a good one." Fu said, "If Xiaoyan can also find such a good marriage, I will wake up laughing in my dreams."

Xiao Lan nodded. She was indeed optimistic about the Bao family. Xiao Ting was gentle and simple-minded. She felt relieved to marry into such a family.
