The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house
Chapter 191 Daily Life
"Well, forget it, if you don't want to talk back, then don't talk back."
"Ah."
"However, the head of the household must remember to help Wang Dalang choose a wife who can handle things."
"How to say?"
"You know the Wang family's situation without me having to tell you. Wang Dalang and his brother are both good kids. You have to help Wang Dalang find someone who can manage the household, someone who has his own ideas and can speak fluently. You can't find someone who can't even say a word even if you beat him with three sticks."
"Wife, don't worry, it's hard to find someone like that in our area."
"That's fine."
The next day, Zhang Xiaoqi got up early and rode to the Hundred Households Office.
Along the way, they met several familiar faces: Luo Mengzi from the 12th Banner, Sun Yanfeng from the 10th Small Banner, Xiong Fei from the 8th Small Banner, and Shang Jin from the 7th Small Banner.
When these people saw Zhang Xiaoqi, they all rushed forward to greet him.
"Lao Zhang~"
"Brother Zhang."
"Old Zhang!"
"Hey, hey, are you guys going to the Hundred Households Office as well?"
"Yeah. But now that I see you, you can help us solve it."
"What can I help you with?"
"It's those sweet potato seedlings and potato seeds. Can you give us some more?"
"Do all four of you flags want these two things?"
"Yes!"
Luo Mengzi saw that there was a way out and quickly reined in his horse. "Let's sit on the side of the road and talk."
The other three certainly had no objection. Zhang Xiaoqi thought that he couldn't escape, so he just listened to what they said.
The five men dismounted and sat down on the side of the road. Luo Mengzi, believing he had the closest relationship with Zhang Xiaoqi, spoke first.
"Old Zhang, you know it's not easy for us Twelve Banners. We don't dare to think of anything else. We just want you Thirteen Banners to give us some sweet potato seedlings. Potatoes are also fine.
"Yeah, a truckload is never too much, and a handful is never too little."
"Yes, yes, yes, any amount is fine, as long as it can be given to us."
"Yeah, we're not greedy."
Zhang Xiaoqi thought to himself: General Ming also said that he was not greedy at that time, but he ended up taking away an entire carriage in one breath.
That was a horse-drawn carriage. Zhang Xiaoqi wanted to bite someone when he thought about it.
Sun Yanfeng was a careful person. Seeing that Lao Zhang looked unhappy, he winked at the three buddies, meaning: "Stop talking for now."
Xiong Fei was a rough man who didn't know how to beat around the bush. Just as he was about to continue, he heard Sun Yanfeng ask, "Brother Zhang, what are you doing at the Hundred Households Office?"
Zhang Xiaoqi didn't hide anything when Sun Yanfeng asked him about it. He didn't want to hide his children's marriages, so he spoke frankly. "My wife said it's time for our eldest son to find a boyfriend. It just so happens that there are a few boys in our banner who are about the same age as our eldest son, so I thought about asking the centurion office if there are any girls of similar age."
When Sun Yanfeng heard Old Zhang mention his son's marriage, his eyes lit up. "Brother Zhang, how old is your eldest son this year?"
"Fourteen. Our little flag boys are all around that age."
When Sun Yanfeng heard Zhang Xiaoqi say that the boys were all fourteen years old, he immediately had an idea.
"Brother Zhang, I have a niece who is also fourteen years old this year. Do you think we can become in-laws?"
Xiong Fei was feeling awkward, but after hearing what Sun Yanfeng said, his guts twisted. "Old Zhang, my eldest daughter is twelve years old this year, and this is the perfect age for an engagement."
"My daughter is thirteen this year, and Old Zhang should also consider it." Shang Jin, he can't be left out of this matter. If his daughter can really marry into the Thirteenth Banner, it will be her good fortune.
Luo Mengzi: He doesn't have a daughter. But he can look among his relatives to see if there are any girls of the right age.
Zhang Xiaoqi was a bit confused and a bit smug. As soon as he mentioned the children, these guys rushed to mention three girls of similar age, all of whom were their relatives.
Oh, should he be happy or not?
Seeing Zhang Xiaoqi didn't respond, the other brothers became anxious. Especially Sun Yanfeng: "Brother Zhang?"
"How about this, you bring the girl to our Thirteenth Banner tomorrow and let my wife see her. Also, if your relatives have girls of similar age, bring them along too. We have quite a few young men in our banner."
"Row."
"Then I'll go back first. You just need to arrive before noon tomorrow." After Zhang Xiaoqi finished speaking, he got up, mounted his horse and went back.
The remaining four people looked at each other, and finally Xiong Fei asked, "Are we still going to the Hundred Households Office?"
"Let's not go. Let's go to the Thirteenth Banner tomorrow and visit Madam Jiang to see if she can help us."
"Well, this idea is more reliable than asking the centurion."
"Then I'll go back first." Sun Yanfeng got on his horse and went back. When he got back, he told his wife that he wanted to marry his niece to Zhang Xiaoqi's eldest son.
As a result, he was scolded by his wife as soon as he started to speak.
"Sun Lao Er, are you stupid? You have a daughter yourself, why did you mention your niece first?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to raise two more children? They're almost bankrupting the family. I was thinking of marrying Dani off, and maybe bringing Xiaobao along too. That way there would be two fewer people to feed, and you wouldn't have to be so sullen every day, acting like someone owed you eight hundred dollars."
"You, Sun Lao Er, do you have any conscience? Am I afraid of eating? It's because our family doesn't have the means. Your brother is gone, and your sister-in-law got married, leaving two children for us to raise. What did I say?"
"Wife, please stop yelling. I told Brother Zhang about Dani today for the sake of our family."
"What for home?"
"Dani is fourteen years old, and it's time for her to find a husband. The conditions of the Thirteenth Banner are the best among our Xishan Hundred Households. If Dani can really marry there, it will be a blessing for her."
"But…."
"The Zhang family has three sons. At worst, we can take all the girls with us."
"Zhang Xiaoqi has three sons? You're not lying to me, are you?"
"When have I ever lied to you? But Xiong Fei and Shang Jin have the same idea as me. They want to marry their daughter to the eldest son of Brother Zhang's family."
"What should we do? Will our Dani be left behind?"
"It doesn't matter. It's just that the eldest son of Brother Zhang's family didn't like our Dani. There are others."
"What's going on?"
"Brother Zhang said that there are several children looking for marriage this time, and they are all the same age as his eldest son. Our eldest daughter is not bad looking and is also a good worker. As for those young men, our eldest daughter will definitely be able to marry one of them."
"If that's the case, our Dani still has a chance."
"Nowadays, I wonder how many girls want to marry into the Thirteen Banners."
"The Thirteen Banners had a bumper harvest last year, and every family had enough to eat. For this reason alone, all the girls in the Xishan Hundred Households wanted to marry into the Thirteen Banners."
"Of course. I was the first to speak to Brother Zhang, and then Xiong Fei and Shang Jin quickly spoke up for their daughter."
