After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

"How come you have time to come here, little sister? Your eldest brother was saying this morning that he hadn't seen you for a few days."

Matchmaker Meng picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Why don't you see my brother?"

"He's gone to deliver wood to a customer. Master Hu ordered two trucks. He'll be back soon. You need him for something."

"Nothing, where's Sister Xuan? Why can't I see her?"

"She went next door to embroider with her sisters. I asked someone to call her back." Tong thought her sister-in-law missed her daughter.

"No need to call her, let her play. I came here this time because a family asked me to propose marriage, and I think Xuan Jieer is suitable."

Tong stood up and sat a little closer, and asked anxiously, "Sister, whose child is this?"

"He is from Kaoshan Village under Wu'an City. He is sixteen years old this year and a good young man."

Tong lost interest. "Sister, it's not that I dislike them because they are from the village. You are willing to let Sister Xuan marry so far away."

Matchmaker Meng was not angry and continued to talk about Ye Chencong's conditions.

When Tong heard that Ye Chencong was Master Hu's apprentice, her eyes became more eager.

His family is in the timber business, and it would be great if he could have some connection with Master Hu.

"The child is good, but Sister Xuan may not be used to living in the village." Tong was still a little hesitant.

Matchmaker Meng's voice became louder. "She's definitely not used to it. She's my niece. How can I bear to let her farm?"

"Marry into the wife's family. There are four boys in the family, so it's not appropriate for her to marry into the wife's family. Your brother and I can help a little, but there are still four children waiting for money, and the family business is barely enough to make ends meet."

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Matchmaker Meng quickly explained the situation of Ye Laoer's family.

When I heard that my family had bought a yard in the city for the young couple, I felt a little happier.

I also heard that a younger sister was married to the young master of Queran Tower, who had a younger brother who was studying and was very talented, so I agreed immediately.

"Sister, you still love Xuan Jie'er. From this point of view, they are indeed a good family. It's okay for you to come back to the village and stay for a few days from time to time."

Matchmaker Meng was very proud. Among all her nephews and nieces from her mother's family, she liked Xuan Jie the most.

In the future, when young couples live alone in the city, they will act as their elders to help out.

Once I have children and am established on my own, I can live with my parents-in-law when they get old, and they won't bully my niece.

"Sister, find an opportunity for the two families to meet. If successful, let Xuan Jieer be filial to you." Tong praised Meng the matchmaker and spoke.

Tong got along well with her sister-in-law. As a matchmaker, she knew a thing or two about every family.

She was the one who chose the wives for the children in the family, and all of them were virtuous and gentle.

Matchmaker Meng did not stay long and took her son to Kaoshan Village.

The two sides agreed that three days later, they would go to Yaowang Pavilion, the most popular temple in the city, to pray for health.

Ye Qing loves to be in the crowd, so she goes with Shen and Ye Chencong. She is young, and with her company, the two young people can still meet each other.

Ye Qing wore new clothes, followed Shen, and rode into the city in a ox cart.

They left home early, before daybreak.

They are the men, so they should arrive earlier to appear sincere.

Although it was early, Ye Qing was not sleepy at all and looked at Ye Chencong with great interest.

"Third brother, your clothes are newly made."

"It's newly made and I haven't worn it yet." Ye Chencong was a little nervous.

"Third brother, you changed into new clothes, why didn't you change into a new pair of shoes?"

Shen laughed beside him, "The new shoes are ready. I'm worried that they'll get dirty on the way, so I put them in the car. I'll change them after we get into the city."

Ye Qing didn't expect this to happen. He looked at the dust on the road and the mud on his shoes, and felt that his third brother was very thoughtful.

"I don't know whose girl Meng the matchmaker is talking about, but she must find one with a good temper." Shen was worried about her daughter-in-law with a strong personality and that they would not be able to get along.

Ye Qing said, "I want to find a good-looking third sister-in-law."

Ye Chencong was driving the car in front without saying a word, but the tips of his ears were red.

It was still early when they entered the city, so the three of them did not dare to delay and went straight to the Medicine King Pavilion.

Arriving at Yaowang Pavilion, Ye Chencong found a place, parked the ox cart, paid the money for watching the cart, changed his shoes, and went to have breakfast.

There was still half an hour left before their agreed time, so there was still time for breakfast.

Ye Chencong didn't order anything to drink, but asked for a few pancakes. He chose the tasteless ones and ate them carefully.

Ye Qing chose the same thing as him. They were going out today to do something important, so they had to pay attention to their image.

After breakfast, it was still early, Shen and Ye Chencong were waiting at the door of Yaowang Pavilion.

Ye Qing was getting bored waiting, so he went in for a walk first, and then found a suitable place to go shopping together, and then came out to wait for Matchmaker Meng.

The sun rose, and the sunlight was warm. Ye Chencong was watching the master craftsman making sugar paintings at the stall next to him.

Shen was chatting animatedly with a middle-aged woman next to her. In a short while, more than a dozen people from Wu'an City came out of their chatter unharmed.

Ye Qing looked at a stall nearby that was selling kites. She looked at them carefully one by one, preparing to pick two to go back and play with her sisters.

The street in front of Yaowang Pavilion is full of food stalls. It is a popular place with many people coming here and buying food.

Ye Qing contentedly chose two kites, one with a landscape painting on it, and the other with two majestic dogs painted on it, which were somewhat similar to Wangcai and Heizi at home.

Pay a deposit of ten cents first, and then come back to pick it up when they leave.

Ye Qing and Ye Chencong walked back to Shen's side. Shen saw Matchmaker Meng coming over in a ox cart.

There was also a little girl in the car. She was wearing a pink embroidered dress and had long black hair tied up with a wooden hairpin. She tilted her head to listen to the conversation between the two women in the car.

Ye Chenjing watched the ox cart approaching from a distance, and his heart felt like a little rabbit was beating wildly.

When the ox cart came closer, Ye Chencong took two steps forward and pulled the ox rope.

Shen stepped forward to say hello, and several people in the car got out to say hello.

The little girl greeted Shen shyly, then followed Tong without saying a word.

Ye Chencong rubbed the corner of his clothes unconsciously, his throat seemed to be blocked by cotton, and the cleverness that usually helped to negotiate business in the store was not visible at all now.

Ye Qing pushed Ye Chencong from behind, and he quickly loosened the corner of his clothes and walked in front to lead the way.

After entering the Medicine King Pavilion, he first asked for incense and then distributed it to everyone.

Ye Qing bowed devoutly. She was very grateful to come to this world and meet her family and villagers who loved her.

After the two families finished their greetings, they agreed to go to the backyard to bring some spring water back.

There is a mountain spring behind the Yaowang Pavilion. Everyone who comes here will take some back, and drinking it can keep their family healthy and safe.

Tong looked at the tall young man and felt satisfied.

Ye Qing thought about her mission and spoke.

"Second Aunt, I want to go shopping. I haven't been here yet."

Matchmaker Meng also spoke up, "Xuan Jie'er, accompany your sister to go shopping and tell her the stories here."
