How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

The mother and daughter were intimate for a while, and then Dong Xiaohuan gave her a few instructions and went back to her room.

I wanted to talk to Wang Yong, but he was already sleeping like a pig. When she got closer, she could smell the alcohol. Dong Xiaohuan pushed him away in disgust before lying down. She closed her eyes, still a little confused. They had known each other for so long. How could these two suddenly fall in love? But it was okay. It was better than being stubborn and refusing to get married.

It's not that they have to get married, but most people would take this step. If Xia Chu doesn't want to, what happens after she and Wang Yong leave? Wouldn't her daughter have to face all those rumors alone?

It's fine now that you're young, but what about when you're old? Young couples grow old together, but when they're old, alone and childless, will Xiaochu regret it? By then, it might be too late to regret.

Dong Xiaohuan opened her eyes at this thought and looked at Wang Yong. So it was better to get married sooner rather than later, have a few children while still young, and have someone to rely on when she got older. Just like her and Brother Yong, her life had been mostly smooth sailing, except for a difficult childhood.

She reached out and hugged her husband's arm. She was very lucky to have a husband who loved her and filial and lovely children in this life.

Wang Yong opened his eyes slightly and saw his wife leaning against him. He drowsily hugged her in his arms and patted her gently. As if thinking his wife had a nightmare, he muttered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Dong Xiaohuan smiled, no longer bothered by the smell of alcohol on him. She snuggled into his arms again, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

Zhao Huazhang was very happy today. He felt that he had found a clear path and might be able to prepare for his wedding soon.

Qingsong looked at his young master, who was drunk and smiling brightly, which was rare in normal times, and guessed that it was related to Miss Wang.

Thinking of the old lady calling him over for questioning again this afternoon, his face wrinkled again. He dared not tell the truth, nor did he dare to make up a lie. It was too difficult. He just hoped the young master would hurry up, otherwise he would not be able to live like this.

As soon as Mrs. Zhao woke up in the morning, she asked when Zhao Huazhang would come back. Aunt Zhan had expected this and had sent someone to ask early in the morning.

Zhao Huazhang got up in the morning and practiced shooting for a while before cleaning up and going to have breakfast with Old Madam Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao was old and her appetite wasn't very good. After drinking two mouthfuls of porridge and eating two snacks, she looked at her grandson. Seeing that he had almost finished eating, she tentatively asked, "Zhang'er, where did you go yesterday?"

"I went out to meet a friend." Zhao Huazhang swallowed the food in his mouth and replied.

"Oh, which friend is it? Does grandma know him?" Mrs. Zhao continued.

Zhao Huazhang rinsed his mouth, thinking that the Wang family already knew about it, so there was no need to hide it from Grandma. He then told her the truth: "No, Grandma has seen her. It's Miss Wang from Yin Ge Garden."

Is this an admission? Is there going to be a happy event? Old Madam Zhao's eyes lit up, and she looked back at Aunt Zhan with joy. Aunt Zhan smiled and nodded.

Zhao Huazhang's marriage plans had been a headache for years, and she had prepared herself for the possibility of never meeting a grandson's wife. Unexpectedly, a silver lining emerged, and she found someone she liked. As she grew older, half her body was buried in the ground, and she didn't know when she would die. The only thing she worried about was Zhao Huazhang.

Now, no one cared about whether the family background was right or not. As long as she was a daughter from a decent family, it would be fine. Old Madam Zhao had even planned what betrothal gifts to prepare and asked anxiously, "So, when will Grandma go to meet the Wang family's parents? Have you told your father?"

If the marriage had been arranged sooner, and if her health had been better, she might have been able to see her great-grandson. Then her life would have been complete and without regrets.

"No, there's no rush." Zhao Huazhang paused, "Miss Wang hasn't given in yet."

"Oh, it's been so long, why haven't you given in yet?" Old Madam Zhao said anxiously, "Are you not good at talking? You should learn from your elder brother."

Zhao Huazhang pursed his lips. He was indeed not as good at speaking as his elder brother. He had already written several letters to inquire about it and had done as he was told. Thinking of this, Zhao Huazhang felt a little disappointed, not knowing where he had gone wrong.

Nanny Zhan noticed that the second young master was in a low mood and gently touched the old lady's arm.

Madam Zhao realized she was too impatient and relaxed her expression. "No rush, no rush. Otherwise, find a date for me to meet with the Wang family. Grandma, can you ask them about their opinions? After all, marriage is a serious matter, and it's decided by parents and matchmakers. Maybe the girl is just shy and doesn't want to say more."

Zhao Huazhang had spent a lot of time with the Wang family and knew that Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang were very respectful to their children. He was afraid that this matter still depended on Xia Chu's attitude. He shook his head and said, "Let's wait a while."

Madam Zhao frowned and was about to say something, but Nanny Zhan touched her arm again. She swallowed her words and said, "Okay, if you need grandma's help, just tell me."

"I understand." Zhao Huazhang nodded.

Dong Xiaohuan thought about it and decided to tell Jia Qingwu about this. Taking advantage of the fact that the shop was not busy, she went to Jia Qingwu's shop and found Jia Qingwu there.

Jia Qingwu wasn't surprised to hear this. She'd noticed something was going on before, but Xia Chu hadn't seemed to notice, so she'd suppressed the thought. Now that it was brought up, she felt it was within her expectations. Zhao Huazhang was of superior appearance and family background. Xia Chu's thoughts, however, surprised her. "Sister, are you saying that Xiaochu wants to get to know him better before deciding whether to get married?"

"That's what I mean." Dong Xiaohuan nodded. "Ordinary people tend to inquire about the other family's ways of doing things. I've never heard of two young people getting to know each other... What are these three views? I don't even know what they are. Do you know?"

Jia Qingwu had never heard of this before. The marriage of the younger generation was usually decided by the elders. By asking about the family tradition and reputation of the man's family, the man's character could be basically determined. This was only done when the daughter was favored. Some families only looked at the other party's family background and whether the person's character and temperament were too extreme. However, Xia Chu was willing to give in, which was better than the previous direct rejection. "Let's wait and see. If she wants to make the decision herself, then she can make it. Xiaochu has a lot of ideas, and her ideas. It sounds novel, but if you think about it carefully, it's not wrong."

"That's what I thought, too." Dong Xiaohuan smiled helplessly. "This girl has always been determined, and it's hard to persuade her to change her mind. I'm just worried that the man will look down on her after he finds out."

Jia Qingwu frowned slightly. "What did Zhao Huazhang say? Did he mean to look down on me?"

"I asked him yesterday, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and he seemed to accept it well." Dong Xiaohuan recalled, "The two of them must have discussed this matter."

"As long as he doesn't look down on me, that's fine. As for his family, we'll have to take care of it when the time comes." Jia Qingwu's eyes were firm. If the marriage was really settled, they would have to meet the elders of the other family. If the other party really had any objections, then the marriage would be cancelled.
