A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Instead of feeling sorry for herself because of the death of her parents, she lived a positive and hard-working life.

The more Zhang's mother looked at it, the more she liked it.

Zhu, who was standing by, saw Zhang's mother staring at Miss Shen in front of her with a satisfied expression. She guessed some of Zhang's mother's thoughts, but there were too many people here.

Besides, the girl is in front of him, and it is not convenient to discuss it with Zhang's mother. He can only keep it to himself for now and ask her after returning home.

Zhang Yunyue: "Miss Shen, do you come here to set up a stall every day?"

Shen Luo nodded: "Yes, my brother and I come here early every morning, and we usually sell until the afternoon before leaving, so you can come anytime you want to eat in the future."

"Hmm? Do you live in town? Otherwise, why would you two be selling until the afternoon?"

"No, I live outside the town, but it doesn't take long to get to the town, and there are only two of us at home, so I just sell bean paste cakes in the town for a while, and then go back slowly in the afternoon."

"I see. That's good. I can make more money this way."

"Yeah, you think the same as I do." After saying that, Shen Luo smiled at Zhang Yunyue.

"Aunts, the twenty bean paste cakes you ordered are ready."

Shen Ming handed the prepared bean paste pancake to Zhu.

Knowing the price, Zhang's mother handed a penny to Shen Ming.

Shen Ming took the money and greeted happily: "Auntie, it's delicious. Come back next time. We will always set up a stall here."

"Okay, your bean paste cakes are delicious. We will definitely come again next time."

After buying the bean paste cakes, they left the town.

Found Zhang's father waiting by the official road at the city gate.

"Dad, we're back."

"Have you bought everything?"

"Yeah, I've bought everything."

"Okay, let's all get in the carriage."

Father Zhang took the backpack from Mother Zhang's back, put it in the carriage, and asked everyone else to get on the carriage.

Only then did he sit in the front seat of the carriage and drive back.

----

"Grandpa, grandma, second uncle, we are back."

Zhang Yunyue walked in carrying the red bean paste cakes she bought in town.

Grandpa Zhang and Zhang Cheng were both weaving bamboo in the yard. Although the family is not short of money now, Grandpa Zhang and his family will still weave by themselves when they have nothing to do.

The woven winnowing baskets will be taken directly to the workshop for use.

Zhang Yunyue placed the bean paste cake on the table in the yard. Although it was cold now, it didn't taste bad because the weather was hot.

Zhang Yunyue first gave one to each person.

"Grandpa, Second Uncle, I bought a lot. You guys have finished eating. Here's some left."

Zhang Yunyue and the others didn’t have anything to eat in town, so she took one and started eating.

Zhu thought of her conjecture in the town just now, moved the stool next to Zhang's mother, and whispered in her ear.

"Sister-in-law, you just asked Miss Shen if she had any ideas?" After a pause, she thought of Xiaoyun and smiled, "Is it about Xiaoyun's marriage?"

Mother Zhang smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, you have discovered it. Do you think that girl and Xiaoyun are a good match? I think they are a good match."

Zhu also laughed: "Sister-in-law, I saw you chatting with that girl in town, and I vaguely guessed that you wanted to match her with Xiaoyun. But that girl is really good, and she looks a lot like our Yueyue."

"Yeah, yeah, after listening to what the girl said, I felt sorry for her. Besides, the girl seemed to have a good personality, and her brother also had a good personality. He was always there to help and was cheerful to everyone."

"Sister-in-law, Xiaoyun and the others should be back soon. Then we can take Xiaoyun to the town to buy the bean paste cake and let Xiaoyun go and have a look for herself."

"Oh, second sister-in-law, your idea is good. I will do as you say when the time comes. However, the girl must have reached the age of marriage. I still need to find out first to see if she is engaged."

"Well, that's right. Let's go to the town again in a couple of days, and then we can ask around while we chat."

"Okay, let's do it."

"By the way, sister-in-law, do you mind that they don't have both parents? And they have a younger brother, who is only about fourteen or fifteen years old. He will definitely rely on his sister to get married in the future."

“Hey, what’s there to mind? Both parents have passed away, and it’s not their intention. As long as the girl has a good personality, nothing else matters.

Besides, Ming seems to be a grateful person, and our family is not what it used to be. If Xiaoyun and she are really destined to be together, so what if she helps out, second sister-in-law, don’t you think so? "

"That's right. As the saying goes, a virtuous wife brings wealth to three generations."

"Yes, that's the truth."

Zhang Yunyue saw Zhang's mother and Zhu whispering to each other and looked puzzled: "Mother, Second Aunt, what are you two whispering about?"

Zhang's mother and Zhu looked at each other and laughed.

Mother Zhang: "I'll tell you in a few days after I confirm with your second aunt."

"Okay, mother, second aunt, do you still want to eat bean paste cakes?"

"No, I'm not very hungry right now."

Zhu also shook her head: "I don't need it either. This cake is enough for me."

Because he was afraid that the time was too close, he went to Shen Luo's stall in the town to buy bean paste cakes and asked some questions at the same time, so as to make the girl feel uncomfortable.

So Zhang's mother and Zhu stayed for three days before going back to town.

In this way, the two learned that Shen Luo's home was located in Shanglin Village, the nearest village outside the town. Shen Luo was currently seventeen years old and unmarried, and his younger brother Shen Ming was fourteen years old.

After hearing this, the two became more anxious.

Zhang's mother and Zhu stayed there for a while, and found that some women who went to buy bean paste cakes also liked Shen Luo. However, they were worried that Shen Luo's family had no parents, and they were afraid that her sister and brother would be unlucky. They also felt that if they married Shen Luo, they would have to take care of Shen Ming and be responsible for Shen Ming's marriage, which was not cost-effective.

However, this just played into Zhang's mother's hands. After all, Zhang Xingyun was not at home and was still outside.

After returning home, Zhang's mother and Zhu were looking forward to Zhang Xingyun coming back early so that they could go to the town to see Shen Luo with her.

After Zhang Xingyun and his team delivered all the pre-ordered items, they were afraid of delaying Yueyue's proposal banquet, so they bought some dried chilies locally and hurried back to Zhangjia Village.

After unloading and weighing the dried chilies in the workshop and distributing the money earned from selling the chilies to the guards, they were allowed to go home.

After Zhang Xingyun and Zhang Xinghao had arranged everything for everyone, they also went home.

Zhang Yunxue, who was playing at the door, looked at her eldest and second brothers who had returned.

"Big brother, second brother, you are back."
