Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

When Xiaoting got engaged, her grandparents didn't give her anything. Whenever Zhang thought about this, she got angry.

"Why don't we just send a ruler to the child's aunt?" Zhang suggested.

"Third sister-in-law, what kind of ruler do you plan to give as a gift?" Liu asked, "I will follow you in giving it as well."

"No, she's such a damn aunt. How about this, we'll follow you to send it. Take a look, what do you want to send?" Zhang thought for a while and asked.

"How about I go and get some floral cloth?" Liu said.

"Okay, then we'll just give the same thing." Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow we'll buy some floral fabric from the plane, and each family can buy three feet of it, and that'll be enough."

"Okay, that's settled then." Liu nodded.

"This floral cloth is easy to buy, but who should give it as a gift?" Zhang said worriedly.

The final result of the discussion was that no one would attend the engagement this time, and would wait until the wedding to take place.

Xiao Lan had been sitting next to Xin, concentrating on her work. She was not good at sewing, making clothes, etc., and no one in the family wanted her. Now she just did odd jobs for her grandmother and honed her sewing skills.

Xin was good at her work. In addition to her own clothes, she did all the sewing for Zhang Shanfeng and several granddaughters and grandchildren.

Because it is winter, Xiaolan's life has been very regular recently. In addition to taking inventory and keeping accounts every day, she follows Xin to learn needlework. Needless to say, she has made great progress recently, which has greatly ignited her enthusiasm for learning. Zhang also asked her to learn before, but she just did it perfunctorily and never put her heart into it. However, this time, following Xin, she has made a lot of progress.

It's no wonder that Xiaolan studied hard and learned very quickly. For the daughters and daughters-in-law of farmers, learning needlework is usually passed down by word of mouth. Xiaolan can read and make shoes, so when Xin taught her to do the work this time, she took notes. This made Xiaoting and Xiaoyan laugh a lot, but seeing her learning speed, it really made her two sisters envious.

The weather was getting colder, the leaves had all fallen, and Xiao Lan was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket. Xin and Zhang worked together to make new clothes for the whole family, saying that they were afraid that they would not have time to make them until the end of the year.

That day, the family had just finished lunch when the workers from Tianxianglou in the town came to Xiaolan's house.

"......This letter was sent by someone from the county, saying it's an urgent letter......" The waiter handed a letter to Sheng Xuan.

Mr. Sheng knew that Xiaolan's family had good relations with the owner and boss of Tianxianglou, so he asked someone to deliver the letter to Tianxianglou, and then let the people of Tianxianglou forward it. When Manager Xu heard that this was an urgent letter, he did not dare to delay. After receiving the letter, he sent the restaurant's staff to deliver the letter.

The last letter was received just a few days ago, and this is an urgent letter. We are thousands of miles apart. Is there something urgent about this?

"Could something happen to the child's grandfather or grandmother?" Sheng Xuan guessed.

At this time Xiaowen had already gone to the private school, so Shengxuan simply handed the letter to Xiaolan and asked his daughter to open the letter and read it to him.

After Sheng Xuan finished listening to the letter, he heaved a long sigh of relief. It turned out that the old man and Cui were not in trouble. On the contrary, they were living well. This letter was just to save them from having to go alone for Chunhua's engagement.

The letter said that when the spring comes next year and Chunhua gets married, Sheng Xuan and Zhang will be asked to go and see Chunhua off. All their families should go, and of course Sheng Hao's family should also go.

"Which family was Chunhua betrothed to? What does her family do? Did they mention it in the letter?" Zhang asked.

"Neither letter said what they were doing." Xiao Lan shook her head. Old Master Sheng only said the date of engagement and marriage in his mind. As for Chunhua's poor family, he only said that they were from an official family, which seemed to be a wealthy family.

"I guess your grandfather was in such a hurry to announce the good news that he forgot to write down the details." Sheng Xuan said.

Xiao Lan agreed with Sheng Xuan's words. He was in a hurry. These two letters were written only a few days apart. You know, Shengjia Village is not close to Hejian County, so these two letters can be said to be written next to each other.

"Chunhua's engagement and marriage are too close together. It is said that children of officials are very particular about this. However, we farmers don't really understand this matter either," said Zhang.

"The rules in Hejian County may be different from ours." Sheng Xuan said, "Besides, Chunhua is old enough, and there are no fixed rules for engagement and marriage. Some are quick, some are slow. Our parents have always been anxious about Chunhua's marriage."

"You're right. As long as the person is chosen, everything else will be quick." Zhang nodded in agreement. "Besides, Chunhua's dowry has been prepared by her grandmother for many years, so everything is ready. Besides, the letter said that the other party is the son of an official. His family is well-off, so he will definitely be quick to prepare the betrothal gifts."

"It seems that my grandparents were right to take Aunt Chunhua to Hejian County for work," Xiao Lan was also happy for Chunhua. "Let's not talk about anything else. Just talking about my aunt's marriage, it has only been a short time and she has already found her husband, and she married into an official family. If they had always lived in Shengjia Village, there would be no such good thing."

In the afternoon, Sheng Hao came to find Sheng Xuan.

The two brothers are Chunhua's biological brothers. Their younger sister is getting married, and the old man asked everyone to go in the letter, so after work, Sheng Hao's family gathered at Xiaolan's house to discuss it.

Want to go?

Definitely.

"It's just not convenient. It's so far away..." Sheng Hao said worriedly.

The two brothers were spared for Sheng Chunhua's engagement. If the two families didn't go to her wedding, would Mr. Sheng and Cui be willing? Would they let the two brothers go?

Xiao Lan could almost imagine how Cui would curse and scold them fiercely.

However, according to common sense, when a sister gets married, her brother's family should be visited. Of course, this only applies to families with good relations.

"It's unrealistic for everyone to go. We can't leave our family without someone, so let's just go with two people from our family and express our wishes." Sheng Xuan said.

Sheng Hao nodded in agreement.

Zhang said nothing and naturally followed her husband's lead.

Then who should go?

The two families looked at each other and saw rejection on their faces. They all knew it was clear to each other that no one wanted to go.

In fact, Xiaolan wanted to say that Chunhua would have to wait until after next year to get married, so she could think about it slowly and there was no need to rush.

But she had little influence, and it was not appropriate for her to speak in this occasion, so she chose to keep silent.
