Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Xiaowen's future is limitless. Although Xiaowen always said that he was lucky and knew all the content in the exam, Sheng Lanhua questioned this statement. It is said that Xiaowen worshipped a Juren as his teacher, and this Juren will also take the exam this year. If he passes the exam, it will be difficult for Xiaowen's official career to go wrong in the future.

You have to know that officials who pass the imperial examination are different from those of Shengnuo. The county magistrate of Shengnuo was not selected through the imperial examination, but was recruited by the imperial court because they needed people. To put it bluntly, such an official will only be a county magistrate for his whole life, with no possibility of promotion. However, those who pass the imperial examination have the support of teachers and the connections of classmates, and their future prospects are limitless.

Sheng Lanhua looked at Xiaoyin coming back with Xiaolan and Xiaoyan, and said with a smile, "Look how good these sisters are."

Because Xiaoyan and Xiaolan had to go to the kitchen to help, Xiaoyin, a pampered girl who had never done housework, did not go with them. Even though Sheng Lanhua kept winking at her until her eyes were almost twitching, it was of no use.

"Okay, let your eldest daughter talk to us, isn't that good?" Zhao laughed.

After lunch, everyone sat on the kang and started chatting and laughing. Xiaolan and Xiaoting took Xiaoyin and Xiaoyan to their room to play.

Zhao and Xiaolan's eldest and second aunts were all talkative. They surrounded Zhang and chatted and laughed, ignoring Sheng Lanhua intentionally or unintentionally. Sheng Lanhua wanted to speak several times, but Zhao interrupted her and didn't give her a chance to speak. Sheng Lanhua felt a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't show it.

Time passed by little by little, and the people on the kang were chatting enthusiastically, with no intention of stopping. Two of these people were Zhang's sisters-in-law, and one was Zhang's prospective relative. They were all very close to Zhang. On the other hand, she had a very tense relationship with Zhang not long after she married into the old Sheng family. At that time, she didn't know that the third child would be able to make a fortune.

Although Lanhua secretly regretted it, she didn't show it on her face. She looked outside the yard, thinking that maybe she could see Sheng Xuan and talk to him, but Sheng Xuan only greeted her once when she first came, and they never met again.

This is the disadvantage of large mansions and courtyards. Although the space is large, unless there is a special person to pass the message, the probability of running into someone you want to meet is very small.

Lanhua originally planned to find a chance to chat with Shengxuan after dinner, but the third brother stayed in the study to entertain guests, so the female family members only greeted Zhang.

Alas, the third family is not good nowadays, and their behavior is almost the same as that of the big and powerful families. Unlike their family, male and female guests eat at the same table.

But looking at the current industry of the Third Brother's family, although she felt sour and jealous, she had to admit that the Third Brother's family was really on the rise.

This was also the reason why she had the audacity to come here with her family. Lanhua turned her head towards the people who were talking happily. Why did she feel that Zhao, Fu and Liu were deliberately not letting her have a chance to talk to Zhang? Did they see what she was here for? Or did Zhang know her intention and deliberately let them interrupt her?

Lanhua's heart skipped a beat and her heart sank.

Zhao's family had already decided on Xiaoting, and the child of the old Zhang family was quite big. Could it be that they were planning to marry Xiaoting? Now the old Zhang family lived with the third family, and the third family was on the rise again. If they said that there was no help from the old Zhang family, no one would believe it. After all, the three men of the old Zhang family were in charge of the tofu workshop, weaving workshop, and soap workshop. I'm afraid they also planned to make the relationship closer.

In this era, it was OK for a woman to be older than a man, after all, it was easier to bear children. A woman three years older than a man was considered a treasure to be a farmer. Some landlords and wealthy families even arranged for their sons to have child brides.

Sheng Lanhua secretly regretted that she had planned it too late. If she had planned it earlier, there would be nothing for others to do. When she thought of Xiao Jin and Xiao Ting's matching age, she bit her gums with anger until they bled.

Fortunately, Xiaolan and Xiaowen were not engaged yet, so her children Xiaojin and Xiaoyin still had a chance. She had to seize the opportunity this time, otherwise she would miss it forever.

She looked up at the people who were talking to Zhang. She was afraid that what she was going to say next would be interrupted by these people's jokes. It would be better if these people could just leave.

"Oh, look at my aunt's complexion. She's getting better and better." Lanhua chatted with Shen.

Shen smiled and said, "I feel relaxed and comfortable here. I don't have to worry about anything. I am enjoying the blessing of my daughter and her husband."

Before Lanhua could speak, Fu spoke first, "That's right. Not only do you enjoy the blessings of your daughter and her husband, you also enjoy the blessings of your granddaughter. From now on, you can enjoy the blessings of your grandson as well."

"Mom, you can't say that. In our family, you are the one who takes care of and helps with all the chores, big and small. In my opinion, I'm lucky to have you at home. If I were alone, I would be too busy to handle it all." Zhang said with a smile.

Zhao smiled and said, "That's right. An old lady in the family is like a treasure. Even if the old lady does nothing and just stays at home, it will still make people feel at ease."

Seeing that the topic she had started was going off topic, Lanhua interrupted with a smile, "I see your Xiaoyan is getting more and more beautiful. Has the marriage been decided?"

"She's just an average talent, but she's quite efficient at work." Fu said with a smile. As long as the relationship between her family and Sheng Yugui's family was not broken, it couldn't be said that it was settled, so Fu laughed it off. Close relatives knew the intentions of both parties, but for Lanhua, who was not related at all, there was no need to explain too much.

Lanhua started talking a few more times, always trying to get back to what she wanted to say, but was interrupted every time by several people making jokes.

He saw that everyone was talking excitedly, but the topic was far from what he wanted to talk about.

"Speaking of engagement, I think Xiaolan and Xiaowen are old enough, it's almost time to get engaged." Instead of beating around the bush, she decided to just get straight to the point.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone fell silent, looking at her with disapproval. You know, Xiaolan is just thirteen years old this year, and Xiaowen is just eleven years old. In ancient times, no matter how precocious people were, they were still just children.
