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

After Ye Hongyun returned, he wrote a letter to Ye Hongling.

Wang Xingren also wrote a letter and took it back.

When Wang Xingren's elder sister Wang Yaqin heard that Wang Xingren's marriage was basically settled, she immediately came to visit the Zhang family.

Wang Xingren did not come empty-handed this time. He brought some wine for Zhang Hujun and Old Man Zhang, as well as some snacks and food.

We are not engaged yet, so it is not appropriate to buy anything too expensive.

Wang Yaqin was also quite satisfied after meeting Zhang Dahahua. Although the Zhang family was just an ordinary farming family, the Wang family itself was prominent enough and did not need any relatives from aristocratic families.

Wang Yaqin also gave Zhang Dahahua a jade bracelet as a gift.

Beijing.

After receiving the letter from Ye Hongyun and Wang Xingren, Ye Hongling immediately went to find Lord Wang.

There was no other way. Marquis Jing'an was usually in the army, so if there was anything, Ye Hongling would consult Marquis Wang.

"Dad, Xingren has fallen in love with a girl. My daughter-in-law's cousin is over there, so Xingren asked her aunt to go and see her.

My daughter-in-law's cousin thinks that girl is pretty good. She's the niece of the woman who did business with Xingren. She's even been to the capital..."

"I remember that Li He was jealous at that time, right?"

Ye Hongling nodded, "Yes."

Lord Wang asked, "What does the other party think?"

Ye Hongling said: "I disagreed at first because I felt that the two families were too different.

After my daughter-in-law and cousin explained, the other girl disagreed again, all because of Li He..."

Ye Hongyun wrote down the whole story in the letter, and Ye Hongling told it to Lord Wang one by one.

After hearing this, Lord Wang said, "It seems Xingren really likes that girl."

Ye Hongling smiled and said, "That should be it."

Lord Wang nodded, "Since Xingren likes it, then let him do it.

It's better to settle things. Xingren is not young anymore, it's time for him to get married."

Ye Hongling asked hesitantly, "What about mother and Xiaorong?"

Lord Wang waved his hand, "Don't worry about them. Once things are settled, it's useless for them to have any opinions. This just stops them from thinking about it."

"My husband probably can't leave, so my daughter-in-law will go there in the next two days."

Lord Wang said, "I'll go. Although they are just an ordinary family, we should not lose our manners.

It just so happens that I want to go out for a walk. I haven't left the capital for over twenty years. It's time to go out for a walk."

"Ah? You're going?" Ye Hongling still wanted to go and see her future daughter-in-law.

Lord Wang said, “You stay at home, you still have to take care of Xingyao.

Besides, it’s not good for you to leave for so long, so don’t let her know now, otherwise she will make a fuss again.

I'll just say I'm going out to see old friends, and I'll be gone for a month or so without any problem."

Since her father-in-law had said so, what could Ye Hongling say? She could only let Marquis Wang go.

Ye Hongling then asked, "What should we prepare for the betrothal gifts?"

Lord Wang said, "Keep it simple. If the betrothal gift is too high, others will think we are pressuring them with money.

It's simple, but it has everything you need. You can prepare it in the next two days, and I'll set off when you're ready."

If a family like the Wang family were to give a normal betrothal gift, it would include pearls, gems, gold and silver utensils, porcelain, silks, real estate deeds, etc., and the quantity would not be small.

But ordinary families in the countryside usually give a pair of wild geese, as well as rice, flour, grain, and wine.

Some parents of the girl will also ask for money directly.

Those with better conditions also have cloth and gold and silver jewelry.

Ye Hongling spent two days preparing the betrothal gifts.

However, these betrothal gifts are not necessarily given once they are prepared. After Lord Wang arrives, he will have to meet with the Zhang family first. Finally, the marriage will only be considered finalized after Lord Wang approves it.

Old Lord Wang was an impatient person, so Ye Hongling set off for Changning County as soon as she got everything ready.

……

Changning County Government Office.

When Ye Hongyun saw Lord Wang, he was indeed surprised. "Uncle Wang, why are you here?"

Lord Wang smiled and said, "I'm coming to see Miss Yun, is that okay?"

"Okay, okay, of course!"

Ye Hongyun immediately sent someone to notify Wu Deyong.

Wu Deyong will have some free time this year, so he can just go to the countryside to inspect occasionally.

At this moment, he was drinking tea and chatting with Xiong Zhubu and others. When he heard that Lord Wang was coming, he immediately went back to the backyard.

As soon as he entered the room, Wu Deyong bowed and said, "Old Marquis, you are such a rare guest. Did you come all the way here specifically for Xingren's matter?"

Lord Wang said, "It's because of Xingren's matter, and I also wanted to go out for a walk.

"Xiao Wu, why do you look thinner again? Don't work too hard. You'll only be here for three years at most, and then your father will definitely transfer you back."

Wu Deyong said with a smile, "Alas, I also want to be lazy, but when I think of the emperor and the people here, I really don't dare to be lazy."

Lord Wang said, "You have been a popular child since childhood. Of all the people in your generation in the capital, you are the most honest and down-to-earth."

Ye Hongyun glanced at Wu Deyong and found that this guy was lying so well that even she almost believed him.

Lord Wang then asked, "Is Xingren not here with you?"

Ye Hongyun said: "At Yaqin's place, I will send someone to inform him that you are here."

Lord Wang nodded, then said, "Girl Yun, tell me in detail about this Zhang family."

"How about you take a rest first? You must be exhausted from the long journey. There's no rush anyway. Once you've rested, I'll talk to you slowly."

"Okay, then I'll rest first. I'm getting old, and my health isn't what it used to be."

Ye Hongyun immediately went to clean up the room himself so that Lord Wang could rest.

……

Wang Xingren came to Ye Hongyun's place that night, and Wang Yaqin and her husband Xu Chu were also there.

The three of them bowed to Old Marquis Wang. Wang Yaqin stepped forward, hugged Old Marquis Wang's arm, and said, "Grandfather, you really love your eldest grandson. You even came here in person to propose marriage to him."

Lord Wang smiled and said, "Why do I smell jealous? Don't I love you?"

Wang Yaqin said coquettishly: "You love me, but you are not so concerned about my marriage."

Lord Wang smiled and said, "You had your parents to worry about you at that time, so there was no need for an old man like me to step in.

Xu Chu's family is in the capital, and they all know each other well. Besides, there's no need to travel so far, so why should you worry about it?"

"I don't care. You are biased anyway."

Lord Wang was annoyed, "Look at you, you are so old and still acting like a spoiled child?

You're already a mother, why are you still acting like a child?"

Wang Yaqin said: "No matter how old I am, I am still my grandfather's granddaughter. Let alone I am a mother, even if I am a grandmother, I will still act like a spoiled child with you."
