Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Xiao Lan was woken up and no longer wanted to sleep, so she opened the window and looked out.

Wang was wearing thin clothes and was brushing the toilet. Xiao Lan understood instantly that this was Cui's revenge on her. Wang had set a trap to make Chunhua marry an old man, so Cui would make sure Wang could never sleep next to Shengnuo in the future. And judging from the trend today, I'm afraid Cui would torture Wang in the middle of the night in the future.

"Why did she do that?" Zhang sighed. "When she did that, didn't she think about today? She has ruined Chunhua's life. Didn't she think that the old lady would be so angry that she would kill her?"

The third daughter did not sleep well that night, and got up early the next morning. Breakfast was arranged in the upper room, but Wang did not come to the table, and there were obvious dark circles under her eyes.

Zhang and the other two sat at the table, pretended to eat a few mouthfuls of food, and then left the table. Then Zhang said she was leaving.

Cui took advantage of her face and said nothing. Lanhua smiled and asked Zhang's mother and her two children to stay for a few more days, and then go with her. But Zhang refused.

"We have been out for a few days, and we have a lot of things to do at home. Besides, we still have to travel for half a month. We have to go back now." Zhang said, "It's all settled. A carriage will come to pick us up soon."

"If you want to leave, go ahead. I won't keep you here any longer." Mr. Sheng put down his chopsticks and said, "Farmers can't leave their families without people."

"Hurry up and take out the things prepared for the third brother's family." Grandpa Sheng said to Cui.

Cui frowned and reluctantly took out a small bundle and pushed it to Zhang.

"It's not easy to come here from so far away. These things are for the children." said Grandpa Sheng.

Zhang didn't take it and pushed the bundle back. "We don't need anything at home. We appreciate your kindness," said Zhang.

The three of them bowed to Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Cui, then stood up and walked out.

Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xu, Lanhua and Yinsuo were all sent out.

"When you go back, say hello to all the villagers," said Mr. Sheng, "tell them that we are all doing well."

All three of Zhang's mother nodded.

"If someone asks..." Old Master Sheng spoke again, but he paused halfway through the sentence.

"Master, we have people coming to Hejian County as well. Sister Xiu'e's family will also be going back in a couple of days. It would be bad if we talk differently by then..." Xiao Lan said.

"A married girl is like spilled water. Your aunt is married here and is a member of the Zheng family. If people ask about this when you go back... this matter is not worth discussing in detail..."

The three mothers understood what Grandpa Sheng meant. If no one asked, they would not say a word. If someone asked, they would not say anything if they could. If they really had to say something, they would just say it in one sentence.

"It's actually good for Grandpa to go back to his hometown and farm." Xiao Lan thought about it, and then whispered to Grandpa Sheng, "If you grow a few acres of land and raise a few pigs, you won't be hungry or cold. After all, Uncle has been an official. It's not difficult for him to run a restaurant or find another job... It's not a big deal for an ordinary farmer to live like this."

"Yes, Grandpa, my second sister is right." Xiao Wen also said.

When Mr. Sheng heard this, he was shocked. After a while, he replied, "It has come to this... When you go back, live a good life. I will stay here and take good care of them..."

As they were talking, Lu Wu's carriage arrived. Zhang's mother and daughter said goodbye again and then got on the carriage.

When the carriage passed through the busy streets, Xiao Lan took out some money and bought some food. Then she joined the returning team. After leaving Hejian County, she set out on the road home.

When they returned to Shengjia Village, it was already noon. From a distance, the three of them saw Sheng Xuan waiting at the entrance of the village, looking in their direction.

"Dad is here to pick us up." Xiao Lan said with a smile.

Zhang and Xiaowen just stuck their heads out and saw it early.

"It's cold outside, don't get off the carriage, go home directly." When Sheng Xuan saw the carriage approaching, he jumped onto the shaft and sat down.

When the carriage stopped in the yard of the house, Shen and her children gathered around.

"Why did you buy so many old things?" Sheng Xuan said as he looked at the large and small bags unloaded from the carriage.

"They were all bought by my mother." Xiao Lan said with a smile.

Sheng Xuan just hummed and said nothing more.

Shen took Xiaoyan, Xiaoting and Zhang's mother back, talking and laughing.

Xiaolan had been away from home for more than a month and missed everything at home. She was very happy to be back. Of course, Zhang and Xiaowen were also like this.

"Knowing that you guys would be back today, Brother Xuan went to the village entrance early in the morning to wait for you..." Shen said with a smile, "I told him that you guys wouldn't arrive so early, but he didn't listen."

Xiaoting served hot tea to everyone.

"Is Hejian County fun? Is it different from our place?" Xiaoyan asked.

"It's okay." Xiao Wen said.

"Come and see what I brought you." Xiao Lan said.

All those big and small packages were placed in the living room, and everyone opened them together.

"Why did you buy so much old cotton?" Shen asked.

"We need to start making Xiaoting's bedding gradually, so that we won't be too busy later." Zhang said, "Besides, we also need to make two new quilts at home. The cotton there is cheaper than here, so I bought more."

"What is this and why is it so heavy?" Sheng Xuan asked, pointing at a bag of corn.

"Dad, this is corn. Let's plant some corn this year." Xiao Lan said.

"What is corn?" Sheng Xuan asked. As an old farmer, he had never heard of this crop before.

When he heard what Xiao Lan said, he hesitated and said, "We have never grown this crop before. Can we grow it?"

"Dad, wheat has never been grown before, but we grew it and even got a reward from the emperor. You are an agricultural official now, so of course you have the responsibility to experiment with new crops. If it succeeds, it can allow more people to have enough food, which is also a great merit," Xiao Wen said.
