Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Xiao Lan said, "Although you are not our servants, since you have come to our house, you must be loyal to our Sheng family on this day. Don't let me know that you will betray your master." Xiao Lan said these words with a smile, and the teacup did not even make a sound when it was placed on the table. However, Da Jiang and Xiao He had seen Xiao Lan's methods along the way, and their hearts could not help but tremble. They hurriedly expressed their loyalty and said, "Miss, don't worry, we have recognized you and will never dare to betray the Sheng family."

Xiao Lan nodded and said, "Just remember it. Okay, get up."

These are the words that neither Shengxuan nor Zhang would say. After all, they are honest farmers and they behave themselves. It is natural for Xiaolan to say these words to criticize them, because she is the one who brought the people here.

After the two brothers went back, Xiao Lan continued to chat with her family. It was as if the majestic look just now had never existed. "Mom, we bought a lot of furs this time. You and grandma will pack them tomorrow. We will also wear fur coats during the New Year."

Ever since Xiaolan returned home, Zhang has kept her at home to recuperate. She said that her body was in great shape due to her absence, so she had to make sure she had some good rest.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Lan could not go out, so she would just hang out in the rabbit shed every day, or read books with Mr. Huang. These days were indeed very leisurely and comfortable.

Shen Liu watched He Mingyu take out more than 30,000 taels of silver. Even though he had thought that he would make a lot of money this time in Dajin, he never expected to make so much.

He Mingyu sighed, "But we didn't buy any horses, so this trip to Xingyuan Prefecture can only be considered as completing half of the mission."

"I heard that the little God of Wealth made a lot of money from the live sheep he brought back this time. It's a pity that none of us can herd sheep. Compared with the little girl, we seem so immature." After a while, He Mingyu also thought it through. "But even if we can sell sheep back, the market in the capital is so small that the sheep are already saturated. Even if we bring back too many, they may not sell well or even not sell at a high price. We might as well do the little God of Wealth a favor and not compete with her for the sheep business."

Shen Liu nodded.

After dinner that night, Shen Liu told the concubines to go to their own courtyards to eat, so the beauties who had already entered the hall led their maids away.

He Mingyu sat in his seat, smiling, but his heart was already in turmoil. What happened to Shen Liu in less than two months? After all, when he went to Xingyuan Mansion, Shen Liu was still single. How come he had a concubine by his side when he came back this time?

But it seems that Shen Liu didn't take these women seriously. It's a pity that after the women were brought in, none of them would allow you to let them come, or leave them obediently. He Mingyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Sure enough, Shen Liu took He Mingyu into the hall to eat. Less than an incense stick of time later, the aunt's maid came to report that she was not feeling well and had a high fever and was having difficulty breathing.

He Ming and Wu Xin listened to what the maid said. After all, this was Shen Liu's family affair. Even as his counselor, there were some things he could not do. He lowered his eyes, picked up the food and chewed it slowly, as still as a mountain, but in his heart he was thinking that after dinner, he must ask Shen Liu's servants what happened to his master in less than two months.

After receiving the news, Shen Liu was silent for a while, then got up and left.

This was just a little trick of the aunts. Not long after, Shen Liu came back and continued to eat with chopsticks, but his face was gloomy.

It turned out that in the short period of less than two months, Madam Shen had been looking for a lady with a family background that matched Shen Liu's. But Shen Liu was not very satisfied. After all, marrying a wife was different from taking a concubine. Marrying a wife meant taking charge of the inner house, and the position of the mistress of the Shen family was something that could not be taken lightly.

Although the candidate for the mistress of the house has not been decided yet, Shen Liu will be 21 after the Chinese New Year, and how can the old lady Shen let him continue to be single? You know, in ancient times, young men of this age would have a lot of children. The old lady gave Shen Liu a concubine without any explanation, which is the grand scene that He Mingyu saw when he came back.

He Mingyu looked at Shen Liu's darkening face and kept his mouth shut. The general's family affairs were not something that a counselor like him could interfere in. He should think more about how to make money and open a horse farm.

The sheep that Xiao Lan brought back from Quanshui Town last time were still being raised well at home. This time, she brought back four more. Looking at the sheep in the fence eating grass leisurely, Xiao Lan remembered the deliciousness of the pot. Winter is a good time to nourish the body. As the saying goes, food is worse than medicine. In winter, the body's resistance is poor, and mutton is an excellent nourishing ingredient.

Farmers usually don't buy meat, but they raise one or two pigs and kill them during the Spring Festival. Most of the meat is sold for money to supplement the family or buy things needed for the Spring Festival. Most people sell live pigs, which are whole live pigs. Many farmers will sell the whole live pig to the butcher after weighing it, so that they can get more money, but the owner can't keep the pork.

This year, the people of Shengjia Village did not have to worry about whether to sell hairy pigs or pork. After all, the Hu people were defeated, and after they returned from the capital, every household was penniless. Even those who had raised pigs before were unable to take their animals away because the Hu soldiers came so suddenly. After returning this time, there was no hair left.

But this is understandable. At that time, some people in the village did not escape because they were reluctant to leave their belongings. Not only did they lose their belongings, but they were also massacred by the Hu people.

"Mom, I want to eat mutton." Xiao Lan came back from checking the rabbit shed outside, breathing on her hands and rubbing them while saying to Zhang.

Ever since Xiaolan came back from Xingyuan Prefecture, Zhang had been preparing delicious meals for her in different ways every day just to replenish her depleted body.

Xiaolan was still a girl at that age. This time, she took Hu Yidao and the two brothers Dajiang and Xiaohe to Xingyuan Prefecture to do business. Not to mention the hardships they had to endure on the road, there must have been many bandits and robbers along the way. Although the girl didn't say it, Zhang knew it in her heart.
