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

Zhang Hulan patted Li's hand, telling her not to worry, and then said to Wang Xingren, "Mr. Wang, please stay by yourself for a while, we still have classes to go to soon.

But we don't have classes this afternoon, so I'll talk to Wang Xingren then."

After saying this, Zhang Hulan stared at Wang Xingren's face.

Wang Xingren's face showed no sign of displeasure. He said, "Madam Zhang, don't worry about me. Studying is more important. I just came to visit and brought you a few pots of flowers that I bought in other places."

After Wang Xingren finished speaking, he went to move the flower pots from the carriage.

Together with his attendants, he brought a pot of flowers and placed it in front of Zhang Hulan. He said, "These peonies are blooming brightly. I think Madam Zhang will like them."

"I like it, thank you very much, Master Wang!"

"You're welcome, madam."

Wang Xingren then went to the carriage and moved two pots of flowers down. This time, he moved the two pots of orchids by himself, holding one pot in each hand.

Wang Xingren brought the flowers to Zhang Dahua and said, "Miss Zhang, these two pots are for you."

Zhang Dahua's ears turned red. She lowered her head, not knowing whether to accept Zhang Hulan. Suddenly, she said, "Oh, this orchid is so beautiful. I like it too. Can you give me a pot?"

Wang Xingren obviously didn't expect Zhang Hulan to ask him for orchids. He was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly, "Mrs. Zhang, how about I bring you some next time?"

Zhang Hulan smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Forget it, forget it. I won't take what's good from others."

Wang Xingren also realized that Zhang Hulan did it on purpose, and his face turned slightly red.

Seeing that Zhang Dahua didn't answer, Wang Xingren placed two pots of orchids at Zhang Dahua's feet, then said goodbye and left.

"Mrs. Zhang, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll come visit you another day."

After Wang Xingren left, Li said, "Big sister..."

Zhang Hulan shook her head, "Sister-in-law, let's talk about it later."

Li stopped talking, the break was over, and everyone went back into the classroom to start class.

……

After school at noon, Li pulled Zhang Hulan into the house to talk.

Without waiting for Li to speak, Zhang Hulan said, "Sister-in-law, I know what you want to ask and what you are worried about.

Mr. Wang is a good person, but there is a big gap in the status of his two families.

I'll go to the county town this afternoon and ask the county magistrate's wife about the situation."

With Zhang Hulan helping to check, Li felt much more at ease.

After the morning classes, neither Zhang Hulan nor the other children from the village came to school in the afternoon, so there were only about 20 children in the village.

Zhang Hulan went to the county town after lunch.

As soon as Ye Hongyun saw Zhang Hulan, she took her hand and said with a smile, "You came at the perfect time. I was planning to go to Daping Village to look for you."

Zhang Hulan already had a guess in her mind that Ye Hongyun went to see her most likely because of Wang Xingren.

Ye Hongyun asked: "What brings you here today?"

"Nothing, I just haven't seen Madam for a while, so I came to see her and brought her some bacon."

Zhang Hulan immediately asked, "Madam, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Ye Hongyun pulled Zhang Hulan to sit down, and without beating around the bush, she said, "Sister, we are not strangers. I will speak directly."

Zhang Hulan smiled and nodded, "Madam, just speak frankly."

Ye Hongyun said: "Xingren asked me to ask if your niece is engaged. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhang Hulan looked puzzled, "Why is Mr. Wang asking this?"

Ye Hongyun scolded: "Are you pretending to be stupid with me?"

Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "Madam, I understand what Master Wang meant by asking this, but I don't understand why he asked this.

Mr. Wang is eighteen years old, right? He’s not engaged yet?

Moreover, Mr. Wang’s family background is similar to my eldest brother’s family…”

"Let me tell you about Xingren's family situation." Ye Hongyun said, "Xingren hasn't gotten engaged yet. He's the eldest son in the family, so he has a lot of thoughts.

His grandparents and parents are all at home, and his mother is my cousin, so there is no need to explain the relationship between our two families.

Xingren has an older sister who lives in Hekou County, and his brother-in-law is the county magistrate of Hekou County.

He also has a younger brother who is sixteen years old. The brothers have a good relationship and there is no situation like other families where brothers fight over the family property.

As for family background, it is indeed a bit big..."

Ye Hongyun paused for a moment before speaking again, "To be honest, Xingren's grandfather was the old Marquis of Jing'an, who fought with the late emperor and made great contributions.

Now the old marquis has retired, and Xingren's father has inherited the title.

Xingren is the eldest son of the family and will inherit the title in the future."

Zhang Hulan was shocked. Although she knew Wang Xingren's family background was not ordinary, she had never expected it to be so prominent. "Marquis, that's a noble, a noble."

After a while, she came back to her senses and said to Ye Hongyun: "Madam, I really didn't expect what you said. My eldest brother's family is just an ordinary farmer. The gap is really too big."

Ye Hongyun took Zhang Hulan's hand and said with a smile, "I know what you're worried about. Xingren is a very righteous boy. If he's interested, he must have thought it through. Besides, we're not the kind of family that values ​​family background. As long as the girl is good, nothing else matters."

Zhang Hulan frowned and said, "But my elder brother and sister-in-law just want Dahua to live a peaceful and happy life. If she enters the Marquis' Mansion, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

Ye Hongyun nodded and said, "This is also human nature, but we can guarantee that we will not let the girl suffer any injustice. Xingren has been kind-hearted since he was a child and is not the kind of playboy.

As I said earlier, the relationship between the brothers is good, and there won't be any fighting between brothers like in some other families."

Ye Hongyun continued, "Also, Xingren and the others may move out of the capital in the future. I won't tell you too much about the reasons.

Anyway, Xingren will not marry a noble family in the future. He will only marry a girl from an ordinary family.

He told me that if the two families could get married, he planned to buy land here and move his family here in the future.

You guys have business together, so this will be more convenient.

I also like Dahua. I stayed here for a while last time. She is very shy but also very capable.

Zhang Hulan fell into deep thought. After a long moment, she said to Ye Hongyun, "Madam, this is a serious matter. I need to go back and discuss it with my parents, my eldest brother, and his wife."

Ye Hongyun expressed his understanding, "Of course, such a big thing must be discussed with the family.

It all depends on your family's willingness. Xingren won't force you. A forced melon won't be sweet, and we're not the kind of people who force things.

If your family agrees, I will be the matchmaker. I will write to my cousins ​​and ask them to come and propose marriage in person."

To be honest, Zhang Hulan was a little worried.

Zhang Dahua is just too shy and very honest. If it were an ordinary family, Zhang Hulan would still be able to help support her niece.

But they belong to the Marquis' Mansion, and if they bully Zhang Dahua in the future, she will have no way to stop them.
