Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

The sheep from Xiaolan’s ranch are selling very well this year. If some people want to buy them, they have to place an order in advance.

"I know that you, my daughter, are thinking about us. I came here just for this matter."

"How much do you want to buy?" Zhang asked.

"If you want to buy more," Zhao said, "you can buy the whole one."

"This is easy. We can ask the ranch people to kill the sheep and transport the meat here." Zhang said, "We did the same thing this year."

After chatting for a while, Yi Zhao lowered her voice and brought up another matter with Zhang.

Ever since Zhang came back from Hejian County with her two children, Zhao said that she would help their family keep an eye on what was going on over there.

Zhang heard Zhao's tone and lowered her voice to say to her, "Is everything okay for the old man and the old lady over there? And the eldest brother's family..."

"Speaking of which, there really is such a thing." Zhao said with a smile, "Now your eldest brother has real power in his hands. Your second branch has also benefited from it. I heard that the boy in the second branch will get married at the end of the year."

"Haven't you received any letters recently? If you haven't, then it will probably be soon..."

"Xiaoliang is getting married? Which family's daughter is she?" asked Xiao Zhang.

"It's Miss Wang San from the Heping Inn..." Zhao said with a smile.

"Oh, this is really a success!" Zhang said with a smile, and then told Zhao about their experience of having dinner at the Heping Inn when they went to Hejian County last time. At that time, Xiaoliang was also with them, and Zhang talked about how Miss Wang San entertained him.

"That Miss Wang San is suitable and capable, and she is also very bold. She is bold and careful, and she can control Xiao Liang..." Zhang said with a smile, "By the way, isn't Miss Wang San looking for a live-in son-in-law? Then is Xiao Liang marrying or marrying into the family?"

"Of course the Wang family is looking for a son-in-law." Zhao said.

"Ah...If we want to find a son-in-law, will Xiaoliang's grandfather and father agree?" Zhang said in surprise.

In this era, there is a lot of prejudice against marrying a son-in-law. Most families, no matter how poor, are unwilling to let their sons marry into other people's families. Mr. Sheng is an old man with traditional ideas. Based on Zhang's understanding of him, he would not agree to Xiaoliang marrying into the Wang family.

"Although your old man is unwilling, it is a generation later. As for your Xiaoliang, it is mainly up to you and your wife in the second house to decide." Zhao said, "Anyway, the second house has many sons, and the Wang family has no sons. This family only has this old girl. They are keeping her for retirement. In the future, the family business will definitely be inherited by his daughter and Xiaoliang..."

"I also heard that your second branch doesn't have to pay a penny for this marriage. All the things have been prepared by the Wang family. In addition, the Wang family also gave your second branch a large sum of money."

"But the Wang family is not stupid. They asked Xiaoliang to sign the document of marriage. From now on, Xiaoliang will be a member of the Wang family. However, Xiaoliang should be able to live a good life. I heard that Miss Wang San likes Xiaoliang very much, and Miss Wang San's parents are also anxious to have a grandchild, so this marriage is rushed and must be completed before the end of the year."

Zhang listened to the gossip with great interest, and finally asked, "How much money did the Wang family give to the second house?"

"I heard that too. I heard it was this number." Zhao stretched out her hand and drew a picture.

"How much more?"

"I heard that they gave your second wife a hundred taels of silver," Zhao continued, "and I also heard that they also made two new sets of clothes, shoes and socks for Xiaoliang's father and mother."

"These conditions were negotiated by your Second Branch in person."

If Xiaoliang wants to get married, he needs to pay a betrothal gift and hold a wedding banquet. All these things cost money. Of course, he also needs to prepare a house for him. Now that Xiaoliang has married into the family, Sheng Kai and Shen Shi don't have to spend a penny. Instead, they get so many things and a full 100 taels of silver.

One hundred taels of silver is not a small number.

Zhang was silent for a while, then said, "Putting all that aside, this is a good marriage. Xiaoliang has grown up, he's sensible, he's mature and good now. I think Miss Wang San is strong, has her own ideas, and is courageous. Xiaoliang is a bit soft-tempered, but if both of them have hard tempers, their life will definitely be noisy. I think it's good now, one is soft and the other is hard, it's just right. The Wang family lives a good life, and I'm sure Xiaoliang will be able to live a good life in the future..."

When Zhao heard what Zhang said, she immediately took over the conversation, "That's right, you don't know, there are so many people out there who are jealous of Xiaoliang's marriage. It's all because Xiaoliang is good-looking and caught Miss Wang San's eye, so he got such a good thing."

"When the child's father comes back, I have to discuss this matter with him." Zhang said, "It's almost the end of the year..."

"That's right. Your business is very big now, and the end of the year is the busiest time. Besides, it's freezing cold, so it's not easy to go out... When I get back, I'll ask you if anyone has gone to Hejian County these days. If you guys bring gifts, you can take this with you..."

"Mom, do you think Sister Xiu'e's family will go?" Xiao Lan said.

"Girl, you have a quick mind. Now that you mentioned it, I just remembered that there is also their family." Zhao laughed twice and continued, "I guess the old Pang family will go there. They are very close to Hejian County now. I thought they would not go there at the end of the year, but on second thought, the probability of them going there is really quite high."

Zhang had naturally heard the rumor that the old Pang family was very close to Hejian County, so she said, "They do have frequent contacts with Hejian County."

Last time when Chunhua got married, after adding boxes to Chunhua's box, after Zhang and her family came back, the old Pang family stayed in Hejian County for several days before returning. It is said that they brought back a lot of things in large and small bags. When asked about it, the old Pang family said that it was given by Pang Xiu'e.

It is said that after returning, Pang Xiu'e's father became active again, telling everyone that he was now working for the county magistrate. Later, he went to Hejian County again. It is said that he went to send a legal advisor to Sheng Nuo, because Sheng Nuo was in charge of the prison and he did not have anyone suitable, so Xiu'e's father arranged a legal advisor to send to him.
