After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

"Oh, let me tell you, Hu Sanlang is good-looking, and most importantly, he's smart."

"The Hu family opened a kiln factory. Do you know how much money a kiln factory makes?"

"His family has five kilns. Each kiln can produce 5,000 bricks, and they can finish the production in five days. They can earn one or two taels of silver a day."

"There are three brothers in my family. Hu Sanlang is the youngest and also the smartest."

"Hu Sanlang is also a scholar. He is in charge of the family accounts and basically manages the family brick kiln."

"Your daughter won't have to suffer at all when she marries him. She will enjoy happiness."

The matchmaker spoke with great enthusiasm and saliva flying everywhere.

Zhang Hulan entered the room, and Wang waved and asked, "Dani, what do you think?"

Li also looked at Zhang Hulan, wanting to hear her opinion.

Zhang Hulan asked the matchmaker, "Is this the Hu family from the brick kiln in Baoping Village? And how old is Hu Sanlang?"

The matchmaker replied, "Yes, it's the Hu family from Baoping Village. Hu Sanlang is twenty-two this year."

"Why haven't you gotten married yet at 22?"

According to local customs, men usually get married and have children at the age of sixteen or seventeen, so twenty-two is considered an older young man.

The matchmaker said, "Hey~, it's because the Hu family is well-off, and Hu Sanlang himself is also well-off.

When I was studying in my early years, I wanted to pass the imperial examination. By the way, Hu Sanlang was a student, but he had not yet passed the examination to become a scholar.

But he is considered a good man in the surrounding villages. There are only a few Tongsheng in the nearby villages."

The matchmaker's saliva flew as she continued, "Hu Sanlang said he wants to continue studying and taking the imperial examinations. Anyway, his family is not short of money.

Hu Sanlang was also ambitious. He had previously said that he would not get married until he passed the imperial examination. But now that Hu Sanlang was old and his parents were urging him to get married, he agreed to get married first and then continue his studies.

Hu Sanlang has high standards and doesn't like girls from ordinary families.

"I heard your daughter is beautiful and virtuous, so the Hu family asked me to be a matchmaker. Anyway, I think this marriage is a good one!"

Zhang Hulan pulled Wang and Li outside and asked, "Mother, sister-in-law, do you want to get married?"

Wang said, "If it's the right one, it wouldn't be bad. Although Hu Sanlang is a bit older, he's not too old."

Li also said, "If the Hu family is really as the matchmaker said, it would be a good match."

Here, men usually get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, but some get married later, around the age of twenty-five.

So in the eyes of Wang and Li, twenty-two years old is not very old.

The main reason was that they heard that Hu Sanlang was a scholar, and scholars had a high status in the hearts of ordinary people.

Anyone who had studied, especially one who had passed the imperial examination, was considered superior to others, even if they had only passed the examination to become a student.

If what the matchmaker said is true, that Hu Sanlang was delayed because of his studies, then this is really a good marriage.

But Zhang Hulan still felt that Zhang Dahua was too young.

"Mom, sister-in-law, Dahua is only fifteen years old, she is not in a hurry to find one."

Wang said, "A good marriage is hard to come by. If you miss it, it will be hard to find it again."

Li said, "Fifteen is not young anymore. Many people get married at fifteen or sixteen."

Zhang Hulan understood Wang and Li's thoughts. If it was really a good marriage, it was indeed rare to come across one.

Most girls here get engaged at the age of fifteen or sixteen. In the eyes of Li and others, Zhang Dahua is already old enough to get engaged.

But in Zhang Hulan's opinion, fifteen years old is still too young.

But Zhang Dahua is not her daughter, she is just her aunt and can only give advice at most.

"Mom, you can't just listen to what the matchmaker says. You have to go and find out for yourself whether the Hu family and Hu Sanlang are a good match or not."

Wang said, "Of course, we must first find out what kind of people the Hu family is like.

Our family is not the kind of people who are only interested in profit. The first thing we look at is a person's character. If the family is well-off, that's naturally better.

Not all scholars are good, just like Chunhua's brother, he is not a good person."

Zhang Hulan felt relieved. She was afraid that Wang and Li would hear that the Hu family was well-off and Hu Sanlang was a scholar and would just settle the matter.

Wang added, "I meant that we should find time to go to Baoping Village to inquire, but the matchmaker wanted the two families to meet first."

Zhang Hulan said, "She's just a matchmaker. It's not her decision when to meet."

"Of course, it's not the matchmaker who makes the decision. It's the Hu family's. The matchmaker said that the Hu family plans to bring Hu Sanlang home this afternoon so that Dahua and Hu Sanlang can meet. The matchmaker just came to say hello."

"So urgent?" Zhang Hulan felt that something was wrong and that something was fishy.

Wang said, "The matchmaker said that Hu Sanlang will take the exam next year, so she wants to settle the matter as soon as possible and arrange the marriage by the end of the year so that Hu Sanlang can study hard and take the exam."

Wang went on to say, "Actually, I also think the Hu family is a bit too impatient. I've also heard of the Hu family in Baoping Village. The kiln factory has been open for many years, so their family must be well off. I just don't know them very well.

But the Hu family is coming over in the afternoon, and we don’t have time to go and ask about it.

We don't know her at all, so we can't just agree to it blindly. But if we reject her outright, we're afraid that Dahua will miss out on a good marriage opportunity."

If Zhang Hulan was the one making the decision, she would definitely have refused directly.

But Wang and Li were worried about missing out on a good marriage, and Zhang Hulan didn't know what to say.

If she says now that the marriage with the Hu family is not good, and Zhang Dahua's marriage is not good in the future, then people will have to blame her.

Now she could only help with the consultation and find out the situation of the Hu family.

Zhang Hulan said, "How about this. Mother and sister-in-law, you guys talk to the matchmaker first. I can go to Baoping Village and inquire..."

Zhang Hulan paused mid-sentence. She and Zhao Guoliang were going to buy bricks from the Hujia Kiln Factory in Baoping Village, so she might as well go and ask around...

Halfway through her thought, Zhang Hulan felt that this wasn't going to work. Since the Hu family knew about the Zhang family, they must have already inquired about their situation. They might even know her. It would be inappropriate for her to go and find out in person.

Zhang Hulan thought about it and decided to ask Luo Changqi or Yuan Gang to go to the Hu family to buy bricks for her, so as to see how the Hu family was doing. She would not show up herself, but go to the village to ask other villagers.

Wang asked, "Are you going now? Is it too late?"

"There's still time. The donkey cart will get there quickly. You can continue chatting with the matchmaker. If she wants to leave, it's up to her. I'm sure I can get there faster than she can."

Zhang Hulan left after she finished speaking, and Wang and Li went into the house to continue talking to the matchmaker.
