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

Zhou bought gifts and went to the Jiang family in a formal manner. This time she came to ask Old Madam Jiang to be a matchmaker.

Old Madam Jiang refused. She was old and didn't have the energy to run back and forth.

Zhou found matchmaker Meng, who was the aunt of Sanlang's wife Meng Xuan. After the two families got married, they became very close, so she was the most suitable matchmaker.

Matchmaker Meng happily agreed. This was a matter for her niece's in-laws, and she would definitely do her best to handle it.

She had also dealt with the Ling family, and she was the matchmaker for a young master of the Ling family.

Ye Lao Da and Zhou did not go back. They stayed at Ye Da Lang's place and made plans while waiting for Meng the matchmaker to come back.

Matchmaker Meng went to the Ling family early in the morning. Ye Chenjing couldn't read at home and kept glancing at the door.

Wei Xin covered her mouth and laughed secretly. When she married into the Ye family, this brother-in-law was still a child, about the same age as Wei Xiu. She treated him like her own brother.

Mrs. Zhou also noticed that her son was acting strange. She didn't know about the incident at the pastry shop yesterday and thought he was just nervous. It was common to be nervous when proposing for the first time.

Boss Ye looked at his son like this and felt disgusted with him. He had passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, but he still had no self-control.

Zhou went out early in the morning. She was going to buy some fresh meat and vegetables. Meng the matchmaker would come over soon and they would invite them to have dinner.

Ye Chenjing is feeling very conflicted now. He wants Matchmaker Meng to come back soon, but he is also afraid that the Ling family will directly reject him.

Matchmaker Meng actually comes back quite quickly. Usually, as long as there is no explicit rejection the first time she goes, there is hope.

Matchmaker Meng walked in with a smile on her face. The family members felt relieved when they saw her smiling face.

"Mrs. Zhou, the Ling family is very polite. The head of their family is not at home. Come back in the evening to discuss it."

Zhou also smiled and said, "Sister, you have worked hard today. I will trouble you more in the future to help your nephew run more errands."

Matchmaker Meng readily agreed, and both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much.

Ye Chenjing drove personally to see Meng the matchmaker off, and put several bags of cakes in the car.

Matchmaker Meng was very happy as she touched the cakes. According to the normal procedure, gifts would only be given after the marriage was settled.

The Ye family was very open-minded and gave us six packs of pastries on the first trip.

She felt that she should go back to her parents' home tomorrow. She had told her niece about the good relationship with the Ye family, and her brother and sister-in-law should be grateful to her.

Matchmaker Meng was very diligent and would go to the Ling family early in the morning every day. If the woman wanted to agree, she would usually have to go four or five times before getting a definite answer.

The Ling family was willing to do so. The books compiled by Ye Chenjing were very useful and the children benefited a lot from reading them.

Especially for this set of mock papers, Mr. Ling found a room at home and separated it into a small room with wooden boards, and simulated the environment of a real exam.

The Ling family also took action and simulated the preparations at home before the exam.

After such a simulation, I actually found the problem.

There were several things missing from his exam preparation basket. Although it did not affect the exam, it did cause him psychological pressure.

After all this, the entire Ling family knew about Ye Chenjing and his companions.

Especially Ye Chenjing and Ye Chenyu, who are the youngest and have not yet married.

Later, several young masters of the Ling family participated in several literary gatherings and were impressed by Ye Chenjing's profound knowledge.

Mrs. Ling listened to her son praising Ye Chenjing every day, so she became interested and sent her servants to find out.

After asking around and understanding the Ye family's character, she also secretly went to see Ye Chenjing.

This young man looks handsome and scholarly. He passed the imperial examination at a young age and has a bright future ahead of him.

She told her family elders about her thoughts, and everyone in the family took it to heart.

After making inquiries from many sources, no shortcomings were reported.

The Ling family became concerned. She found out that Ye Chenyi's marriage was arranged by Old Madam Jiang. When Old Madam Jiang returned to the city, she took her daughter to visit the Jiang family.

The Ling family and the Jiang family are relatives, but their relationship is rather distant and they only visit each other during festivals.

Old Madam Jiang was indeed interested in the marriage, and a few days later the Ye family came to propose marriage.

The Ling family agreed after several attempts, and the two families held the engagement ceremony.

Ye Chenjing also invited his three brothers-in-law to visit his home. The Ling brothers were stunned by the Ye family's study. The Ye family had more books than theirs.

After Zhou arranged a marriage for her son, she felt relieved and helped Wei to arrange Ye Chenyi's marriage.

Ye Qing visited the place several times and helped decorate the new house.

They were going to get married from Wu'an City, so they had to leave a few days in advance.

Ye Chenyi took leave early and came back home as he still had a lot of work to do.

Old Man Ye personally took his children and grandchildren to invite the close relatives of the family. This time they were going to the provincial capital to pick up the bride, and quite a few people would be going with them.

Old Man Ye went to the headman's house first. He asked Ye Fang to be the manager, and the entire wedding procession listened to him.

Then they went to the homes of several brothers. Old Man Ye’s two brothers also had many children, so they agreed immediately.

As long as Old Man Ye and his people asked, everyone in the village was willing to go to welcome the bride.

Ye Qing suggested that his uncle should go with the people from Weiyuan Escort Agency as they were familiar with the business and could help with the itinerary.

Ye Laosan was happy that his son was going to get married, and they wanted to plan everything down to the smallest detail. After listening to Ye Qing, they went to the escort agency to place an order the next day.

The bride's family also had to go, usually sisters-in-law of the same generation. Meng Xuan was pregnant and couldn't go, so Wei Xin and Zheng Qin happily followed to the bride's reception.

The Zhao family was a reasonable family and they did not make things difficult for Ye Chenyi, allowing him to take the person away.

Not many people from the Zhao family went to see the bride off, only a few brothers, sisters-in-law and elders went.

They came back after the New Year, so it was only a little over a month at most.

Part of Zhao Ke's dowry was directly placed in the courtyard of the city, and only some clothes and bedding were taken to Kaoshan Village.

The Ye family took into consideration that Zhao Ke'er was marrying far away and was worried that she would feel unappreciated by her family, so they directly held a buffet.

The Zhao family was very satisfied with the Ye family's attitude. After the wedding, they played in Wu'an City for two days and then went back.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, everyone wants to go home early to celebrate the New Year.

The Ye family had a new baby this year, and the New Year was very lively.

Zhao Ke'er originally thought that she would not be able to adapt to the village, but she did not expect that Kaoshan Village was built so well. Except that it was not as lively as the capital city, everything else was not bad.

After the lively New Year celebrations, the children in the family all returned to the provincial capital.

After the New Year, Shen took Ye Chenze to pay New Year's greetings to Old Madam Jiang, and happened to meet Lord Yang and his family at the Jiang family.

Lord Yang tested Ye Chenze's knowledge and was very satisfied with him.

When Ye Chenze went to pay New Year's greetings to Old Madam Jiang, Madam Yang also saw Ye Chenze and was deeply impressed by this handsome young man.

Yang Rou talked with her elders in the house because she didn't need to avoid suspicion since they were present.

Wei Jia and Jiang Qiaoer were also at the Jiang family. This year, Jiang Qiaoer's parents were both at work and did not come back for the New Year, so she brought Wei Jia back to help entertain the guests.

Wei Jia knew the Ye family's plan and spoke well of him in front of Lord Yang.
