Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

Zhao Yuanzhen reacted after hearing this.

Houses in the capital have always been expensive, and my sister-in-law's family is indeed suffering.

After thinking about it, I decided to help myself.

"Sister-in-law, I think Zihu is a good kid. He is so ambitious at such a young age. I will pick out a house for him as a reward for his success on the list. When the list is announced, I, your second grandmother, will not be at home, so I will treat it as a late compensation gift."

Wu Erping's eyes lit up when she heard this!

She had deliberately said this in front of Zhao Yuanzhen just now. In fact, she just wanted to borrow money. She didn't expect Zhao Yuanzhen to directly say that she would give them a house.

This is really a great thing.

"No, the second one's, yours..."

After hearing this, Sun Zhang immediately refused.

"Thank you very much, sister-in-law. Zihu, thank your second grandmother quickly."

Wu Erping was afraid that Sun Zhang would refuse, so she interrupted and spoke louder than her voice.

Zhang Zihu didn't listen to his mother. He frowned and felt that this was inappropriate.

But what the Second Mistress said was right. If I were really appointed as an official, it would be much more convenient to have a house in the capital.

Seeing that Zhang Zihu hadn't spoken for a long time, Wu Erping called him.

"Zihu, thank your Second Grandma! Don't just stand there like an idiot!"

Zhang Zihu hesitated, thinking about what his uncle had just talked to him about.

He made up his mind and walked up to Zhao Yuanzhen.

Seeing him like this, Sun Zhang wanted to call him, but she opened her mouth again and again and finally stopped.

How can you not love your own grandson?

"Second Madam, first of all, thank you for your kindness. I really need this house, but I won't let you spend money for nothing. This money is a loan from me. I will return it to you when I have money in the future. I will remember your kindness in my heart."

It's not that Zhang Zihu doesn't remember what happened in his childhood. At that time in the village, his grandmother often bullied his second grandmother's family. So later, even though his second grandmother's family was extremely wealthy, he never thought of taking the initiative to ask for help. After all, it was his family that was wrong.

Now that his second grandmother's family is willing to help him regardless of past grudges, he should be grateful and not feel complacent and enjoy himself.

Zhao Yuanzhen nodded with satisfaction. Yes, he is a good child and has not been led astray by Wu Erping.

"Good boy, you don't have to be embarrassed. You will have a bright future. This house is Second Mistress's investment in you. You should make a name for yourself in this world. This will be your way of thanking me."

It's just a little money, as long as the child is thoughtful.

We can't let him carry debt every day.

After a long time, the child will get tired.

"Second Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely work hard."

Although Second Madam said so, I still had to save the money secretly and return it to her.

"Well, good boy, I'm optimistic about you."

Wu Erping breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the issue with the house had been resolved.

This eldest grandson is not like me at all. Even at a young age, he has his own temper and set of theories.

Sometimes even I can't get rid of him.

Zhao Yuanzhen chatted for a while longer and then said goodbye and left.

Zhang Xinshu also followed Zhao Yuanzhen back to the village house.

The house is taken care of by servants. Every summer, Qian Xiaohui and Li Zhijuan will come back to stay for a while to escape the heat.

Because Zhang Xinshu wanted to go back to see his teacher, they stayed in the village for one night and then went back.

Zhao Yuanzhen brought a bunch of miscellaneous new gadgets and specialties to the general's mansion.

Go and see Zhao Yuanlan and Yue Hongmian.

"Little sister, there is something I need to ask for your opinion."

Yue Hongmian recalled that a lady had asked her something a while ago.

"What's the matter? Sister-in-law, tell me."

"That's right. A while ago, I went to a party with those ladies. One of them asked me to ask you if Xin Shu was going to get married. From what she said, it seemed like she wanted to find a wife for Xin Shu, but she didn't know which family the girl was from. I know that lady, and she doesn't have a girl of the right age at home."

She didn't know what her younger sister was thinking, so she could only shirk the responsibility and say that she had to ask.

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't expect this to happen. She thought that Zhang Xinshu was already 22 years old, and it was indeed time for her to get married. Even if she didn't get married right away, she had to get engaged.

When Zhang Xinbai was 22 years old, Zhang Zijin was 5 years old.

"Sister-in-law, I have to go back and ask Xin Shu for his opinion on this matter, and then look at the marriage proposal. I'll give you news later."

She is relatively democratic and respects her son's opinion.

"Okay, go ahead and ask. There's no rush. I can answer you anytime."

"Okay, sister-in-law."

"I guess if Xin Shu spreads the word that he's going on a blind date, the threshold of your house will be trampled down."

Yue Hongmian joked.

But Zhang Xinshu is really excellent.

The 15-year-old third place winner, according to Zhao Yuanlan, would have been the first place winner if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Xinshu was too young and the old tutor's intention to suppress his young mentality.

He is handsome and has reached the second rank at a young age.

Deeply favored by His Majesty.

This really has unlimited prospects!

No wonder these ladies are staring at him.

Even though Zhang Xinshu has not been in the capital in recent years, there has been news about him.

Being secretly thought of.

"Sister-in-law, you are joking. There are many good men in the capital."

In a place like the capital where only the rich and powerful are present, there are numerous outstanding young men.

Needless to say, princes, nobles and royal family.

There are countless of these aristocratic families and official families.

Her family's Zhang Xinshu is indeed outstanding, but their Zhang family is still in the stage of gradual rise and cannot be compared with the real big clans.

"Little sister, if you still don't believe me, then just wait and see when I turn around and say I want to get married."

She was a girl from an official family and had spent a long time in the capital, so she naturally knew what those ladies were thinking.

Zhang Xinshu is young and has a bright future. The Zhang family is relatively easy to marry into, and their investment vision has always been sharp.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a thing as catching a son-in-law from the list.

"Hahaha, then I'll see if it's true as my sister-in-law said."

At noon, I had lunch with Yue Hongmian and Zhao Yuanlan at the General’s Mansion.

I went back in the afternoon.

When I returned to Chengyuan, Zhang Xinshuo had already returned.

Zhao Yuanzhen called him over and asked about this matter.

"Xin Shu, mother told you about your marriage before. At that time, you said you were still young and wanted to wait for two years. Have you thought about it now? Do you want mother to bring this up?"

Zhao Yuanzhen asked very tactfully, with no intention of forcing marriage at all.

In her previous life, she saw many young people on the Internet who were against being forced into marriage by their parents. Now that she was someone's mother and grandmother, she naturally couldn't do that kind of thing.

Come to think of it, it has been more than ten years since I traveled through time, and it seems that I have completely adapted to the identity of this old woman. I have no regrets at all about the love that I have never had.

Being able to have a bunch of descendants without getting married and having children is like winning the lottery.

"Mom, well... you decide."

Zhang Xinshu didn't expect that Zhao Yuanzhen would come to him to talk about this matter.

Somewhat embarrassed.

But I thought that I was already 22 years old and it was time for me to get married.

He understood that the development of the family was inseparable from the prosperity of the population, and he had to shoulder his own responsibilities.

Now that my career is relatively stable, it’s time to think about marriage. I can’t let my mother worry about me all the time.

"So you agree? Do you have a girl you like?"

As long as you agree, I can also help to check and find a good one.

"Mom, I'm busy every day, how can I have time to meet a girl!"

Yes, I used to be in Yangzhou Prefecture and hang out in the government office every day.

I finally returned to the capital, but I never attended any gatherings or poetry gatherings, so naturally I had no chance to meet the girl.

"Then what kind do you like?"

What kind do you like?

Zhang Xinshu has not been tested on this question, but it is always a good question to ask.

"Mom, you decide. As long as they are good-natured and easy to get along with, I'm fine with them."

Marry a virtuous woman with a good temper, who can get along well with her elder and younger sisters-in-law, and who can be filial to her mother.

As for family background, there is no need to care about it at all. I am a peasant myself, so why should I be so worldly?

"Okay, then I'll talk to your sister-in-law and your aunt, and I'll definitely help you choose a girl with a good personality."

"Then I'll have to trouble mother, sisters-in-law and aunt."

Zhang Xinshu thanked him embarrassedly.

"No trouble, okay, go ahead and do your work."

"Yes, mother, I will go back to the yard then."

"Well, let's go."

Since you want to go on a blind date, you naturally have to look for the right person carefully.

"Lan Ying, go and call the two young ladies over."

"Yes, ma'am."

Bai Wei and Zhang Yu have been in Beijing recently, so Lan Ying has been reunited with her parents.

Zhang Yu doesn't need to go to Yanshan in the second half of the year. He can spend more time with his wife and daughter.

Lan Ying has been very happy these days, being with her parents.

After a while, Qian Xiaohui and Li Zhijuan came over.

"Mom, you're looking for us!"

The two of them sat down with Zhao Yuanzhen.

"Well, I just asked Xin Shu for his opinion. He is interested in getting married. Do you think there is anyone suitable?"

I have only been in the capital for a short time, but my two daughters-in-law have been here for several years. They have attended many banquets, parties, and weddings every year, and have met many people. Maybe there is a good girl among them.

"Mom, my third brother is planning to get married, that's a good thing. You don't know, many ladies have approached me before, openly or secretly, and I politely rejected them all."

Many people mentioned it tactfully at the gathering, but they didn't know what the third brother meant at that time, and didn't dare to say anything. They just said that the third brother was still young and there was no need to rush. Besides, the matter was still under the supervision of the mother-in-law.

Now that the third brother is getting married, they, as sisters-in-law, are naturally happy.

"Are there any particularly good girls?"

"Mom, you know that gatherings like that are usually held at banquets. These noble ladies from aristocratic families are always well behaved at banquets, and their temperaments and personalities are gentle and virtuous. The details depend on what happens in private."

The young ladies in those mansions all looked like they were cast from the same mold and they all looked the same at the banquet.
