Zhang Hulan was relieved about this. Li He had to observe mourning for three years. In three years, Zhang Dahua's children would probably be running around everywhere.

As for Li He's desire to move in with Old Madam Yang, Zhang Hulan didn't care. After all, Zhang Dahua would go to Changning County after getting married and would rarely be in the capital.

Wang Xingren has been out for a long time and is never at home, so it is difficult for him to cause trouble.

Zhang Hulan couldn't figure out who killed Wang Xiaorong. She felt like that person was helping her.

There were many guests at the wedding of Wang Xingren and Zhang Dahua.

Most of the officials in the court came openly and without any concealment, which actually made the emperor feel more at ease.

On the Zhang family's side, Zhang Hulan and Zhang Hubing took a few children to see the bride off.

After returning from Wang's house in the afternoon, Daochen came to find Zhang Hulan and said that Daohe and Daoxu were also going to study in the Imperial College, and they would be with Zhang Xiaojun at that time.

Daochen had not told Dao and Daoxu that they were going to stay in the capital until now.

Zhang Xinyue asked, "Does that mean Dao and Daoxu can't play with me anymore?"

Dao Chen said, "They have to go to the Imperial College to study during the day, and you have to study too. We can still play together at night."

Zhang Hulan asked, "Master, will you stay in the capital for a long time?"

Daochen nodded, "Yes. Madam Zhang can rest assured during her time back in Changning County. I will keep an eye on them."

"Thank you very much, Taoist Priest!"

With Daochen watching over her, Zhang Hulan was indeed much more relieved. She was mainly afraid of any accidents.

On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Hulan sent Zhang Xiaojun to the Imperial College.

Dao and Daoxu also went together.

Then Ye Hongyun helped find a college for Shanzi and Zhang Xiaobing.

The powder grinding machine made by the Ministry of Industry is also ready and can be taken away from the Ministry of Industry at any time.

……

Three days later, Wang Xingren brought Zhang Dahua back home.

When the whole family was joking around Zhang Dahua, Zhang Hulan took out five pieces of paper.

She gave a piece of paper to Zhang Dahahua, and then gave two copies each to Zhang Hubing and Zhang Hujun of the remaining four.

Zhang Dahua took it and took a look. It was a share transfer agreement for the braised meat business.

Zhang Dahua looked at Zhang Hulan in confusion and asked, "Auntie, what are you doing?"

Zhang Hulan said, "Dahua, this is the dowry my aunt gave you."

Zhang Dahua was stunned for a moment, then quickly returned the agreement to Zhang Hulan, "Auntie, I can't accept this."

Zhang Hulan took Zhang Dahua's hand and said, "Dahua, listen to me."

Zhang Hulan then looked at the rest of the family and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, Hu Bing, my 50% share will be given to Xiao Jun and Xiao Bing, 10% each.

I had originally planned to give it to them when they got married, but it doesn’t matter if I give it earlier or later, so I just divided it all up today.

This is my intention as an aunt. This is all I can do to help them. They will have to rely on themselves in the future.

Xinyao and Xinyi are growing up day by day, and I have to prepare for their future as well."

Zhang Hujun returned the agreement to Zhang Hulan. "Sister, we don't want this. You've helped us enough. Why would we want your business?"

Zhang Hubing also said, "Sister, Chunhua and I do like money, but we are not heartless. We all remember your kindness to us, and we are already satisfied. We don't want this braised meat business."

Zhang Hulan gave the entire braised meat business to Zhang Hujun and Zhang Hubing after careful consideration.

She has two farms, a stable income, and now she has an official position, so she has to leave some property for the two branches of the Zhang family.

Zhuangzi couldn't possibly give it to them, so the braised meat business was the most suitable.

She will brew some wine and make some soap in the future, and leave these businesses to her daughter.

Although she could earn a lot more money by dividing the braised meat business to Zhang Hujun and Zhang Hubing in a few years, who knows what will happen to the braised meat business in the future.

Give it to them early so that they can save some money. And let Zhang Hujun and Zhang Hubing help her manage other businesses in the future.

Zhang Hulan said, "Brother, Hu Bing, I'll give it to you, just keep it. This little bit of business is nothing to me.

I will have other businesses in the future, but I can't be at the farm, so you guys have to help me take care of them."

Zhang Hujun and Zhang Hubing opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.

Wang said, "Dani'er, do you really have other businesses in the future?"

Zhang Hulan nodded and said, "Yes, I started making wine after I got back.

This wine business won't be bad, it's probably more profitable than the braised meat business."

Zhang Hulan then continued, "Dad, Mom, I've given this braised meat business to my eldest brother and Hu Bing. It will be part of the Zhang family's fortune from now on. I'm relieved to have Xingren and Dahua take care of it."

In the end, Zhang Hujun and Zhang Hubing both took over the braised meat business, but they both felt heavy in their hearts.

Each family gets a 20% share, which translates to several thousand taels of income a year. This gift is too heavy.

Normally, they would think that spending one hundred or eighty taels of silver on them was not a big deal.

Zhang Hulan is rich, so they will do their best to help Zhang Hulan manage his business and make more money.

But this will go directly to the business, and there will be so much income every year in the future, which really makes Zhang Hujun and Zhang Hubing feel that Zhang Hulan's love for them is too heavy.

Li and Zhang Dahahua both hugged Zhang Hulan. Neither of them said anything, but both of them held Zhang Hulan tightly with their arms.

Wang Xingren was also very moved. Zhang Hulan treated everyone in the family the same and treated the children from both branches of the Zhang family as her own.

Such a big deal, he gave it away without hesitation. The main thing is that he didn't keep any of it. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to do that.

"Relax a little, I can't breathe. You guys are trying to kill me for money..."

Li and Zhang Dahahua quickly let go of Zhang Hulan, crying and then laughing.

Zhang Hulan said, "Alright, alright. I've said it before. We're a family. Money doesn't mean anything. The best thing is for us all to be happy."

Then Zhang Hulan asked Wang Xingren, "Xingren, you will stay in the capital for a while, right?"

Wang Xingren nodded, "Yes, I guess I won't leave until the end of the month."

"Then I'll go back to Changning County first. I'll take you and your aunt and Ruinian back then."

"Auntie is going back now?"

Zhang Hulan nodded, "Yes, there are still many things to do when we get back."

Old Man Zhang said, "We'll all go back, and let your mother stay to take care of Chunhua."

Zhang Hulan nodded. "That's what I thought. Big brother, big sister-in-law, and Hu Bing should all go back together. Mother and Chunhua can go back later."

Wang Xingren said, "Then I'll arrange for some people to take you back."

"No need, Lord Wu will also go with us, and nothing will happen on the way."

When Wang Xingren heard that Wu Deyong would go with Zhang Hulan and the others, he did not force him.

So in the afternoon, Zhang Hulan took people to the Ministry of Industry to pull back the powder grinding machine, and then left the capital with Wu Deyong early the next morning.
