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

The more Zhang Hulan thought about it, the better she felt. She planned to go back to Ye Hongyun in the evening and tell her about the newspaper.

Zhang Hulan looked at Xie Xiaoman at this time. This girl was quite good. She had good eyesight and didn't say things that she shouldn't say and didn't ask things that she shouldn't ask.

Zhang Hulan suddenly asked, "Xiaoman, you'll be fifteen next year. Has your family found anyone to date you?"

Xie Xiaoman was stunned, not knowing why Zhang Hulan suddenly asked her this.

Xie Xiaoman blushed and whispered back, "Someone came to propose marriage this year, but my father rejected them all."

"Oh? The family that came to propose marriage is not well-off?"

Xie Xiaoman shook his head and said, "That's not the case. The main reason is that I'm still young and there's no need to rush. Also, the families proposing marriages are so good, they're all sons of officials in the imperial court."

Zhang Hulan said, "You are indeed still young, but if you have any questions, you can arrange a marriage first and then get married in two years."

Xie Xiaoman blushed and said nothing. She didn't know how to answer.

Zhang Hulan asked again, "The people who came to propose marriage are all sons of officials in the imperial court. The conditions should be very good. If they get married, maybe your father's official position will also rise. Why doesn't your father agree?"

Xie Xiaoman replied, "My father said they are all high-ranking officials and our family is not worthy of them. The difference in status is too great. If I am wronged in my husband's family in the future, he won't be able to support me."

Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "That's true. It seems your father really loves you. If it were an ordinary family, the father would definitely hope that his daughter could marry into a wealthy and powerful family, and then rely on his daughter to soar to the sky."

Xie Xiaoman also smiled, "My parents really do love me very much."

"I haven't even asked you, do you have any brothers or sisters at home?"

"I have a brother."

"So what is your brother doing? Is he married?"

"My brother is three years older than me. He's still unmarried and studying. He took the college entrance examination this year, but failed."

Zhang Hulan nodded slightly. "Your brother is only seventeen this year, so he's still young. It's quite remarkable that he passed the Tongsheng exam at the age of sixteen or seventeen."

Xie Xiaoman said, "It still can't compare to those talented young men. Some of them passed the imperial examination at the age of fifteen or sixteen."

"That's pretty good. You have to know that there are always people who are better than you. If everyone is a child of destiny, what will happen? Tell your brother not to put so much pressure on himself."

Xie Xiaoman nodded. "Yes, that's what I advised my brother too. My parents didn't ask him to take any exams or get any honors at any time."

Zhang Hulan thinks that Xie Xiaoman's family environment is quite good. Many families want their children to be successful and pin their hopes on their children, which will bring great pressure to the children.

Zhang Hulan looked at Xie Xiaoman with a smile, coughed dryly and said, "Ahem... Xiaoman, I have a nephew who is sixteen years old and is currently studying at the Imperial College.

As you know, our family used to be from the countryside, farming at home.

My nephew is honest, hardworking, not chauvinistic, and has a decent appearance. Would you like to consider him?"

Xie Xiaoman looked at Zhang Hulan in astonishment.

Zhang Hulan said, "Don't be nervous. I don't mean to force you. I just think you're a good person and want to find a good marriage for my nephew. It doesn't matter if you don't want to."

Xie Xiaoman whispered, "I listen to my parents in everything."

Zhang Hulan said, "How about this, you take a look at my nephew first. If you like him, I will talk to your father.

When two people are together, it's mainly about the two of you living together.

If you both like each other, you will live a comfortable life in the future.

If you don't like my nephew, I won't mention it to your father. How about you just pretend I never mentioned it?"

Xie Xiaoman thought Zhang Hulan’s suggestion was very good. Of course, girls all hope to marry someone they like in the future.

She nodded and said softly, "Then, I'll do as you say, sir."

"Don't force yourself. If you don't want to, forget it."

Xie Xiaoman said, "I'm not forcing it. Lord Zhang is so kind, so I think his family should be good too."

Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take my nephew shopping on Hefang Street tonight, and you can come there too. Let's meet around twilight hour."

Xie Xiaoman nodded shyly, then covered her face with a book, not daring to look at Zhang Hulan.

After arriving at the lower yamen, Zhang Hulan hurried home. Before leaving, she reminded Xie Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, don't forget tonight!"

Xie Bangwen asked, "Master Zhang, do you have any errands for my daughter tonight?"

Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "No, no, I just wanted to go shopping with Xiaoman tonight. Don't worry, Master Xie, I won't kidnap Xiaoman and sell her off."

Xie Bangwen also laughed and said, "Master Zhang, you are joking. How could I not trust you, Master Zhang?"

When Zhang Hulan returned home, the three people who were studying had also returned.

During the meal, Zhang Hulan urged Zhang Xiaojun and the others, "Eat quickly, we'll go shopping later."

Zhang Xiaojun said, "Auntie, you guys go ahead. I won't go. I want to stay home and read."

Shanzi also said: "I won't go either. I will read at home."

Zhang Xiaobing didn't say anything. Of course he was happy to go out and play.

How could the protagonist not go? Zhang Hulan said, "Take a hundred steps after dinner, and you'll live to be ninety-nine. You guys just study all day, you need to move around more. Everyone will go soon."

Since Zhang Hulan said so, Zhang Xiaojun and Shanzi no longer refused to go.

After dinner, Zhang Hulan took Zhang Xiaojun and the other two out.

Zhang Xinyao and Zhang Xinyi were both eating at the restaurant. Zhang Xinyue had become unruly and was not at home every other day. Zhang Hulan didn't care about her.

When Zhang Hulan and her friends arrived at Hefang Street, Xie Xiaoman had already arrived.

She was accompanied by a little maid.

Xie Xiaoman was also a daughter of an official family, and had maids and servants serving her since she was a child.

Zhang Hulan looked surprised. "Hey, Xiaoman, you're here shopping too?"

Xie Xiaoman wanted to laugh when looking at Zhang Hulan's exaggerated expression, and thought that Zhang Hulan was quite funny sometimes.

Xie Xiaoman said with a somewhat evasive look, "Master Zhang, what a coincidence!"

Zhang Hulan then said, "These are my three nephews. If you don't mind, can we go together?"

Xie Xiaoman glanced at the three young men behind Zhang Hulan and thought that the oldest one should be the one she wanted to meet.

At first glance, he looked pretty good. Not too tall, but not short either. His skin was a bit dark, unlike those young men in the capital, whose skin was as white as a woman's. But it was that expression on his face, which made him look a bit silly.

Xie Xiaoman glanced at Zhang Xiaojun out of the corner of his eye, but Zhang Xiaobing was looking at Xie Xiaoman openly.

Xie Xiaoman noticed that Zhang Xiaojun's eyes were clear and pure, unlike those young masters who had a lustful look on their faces when they saw women.

Xie Xiaoman felt her heartbeat suddenly quicken. She was startled. Could it be that she was attracted to that black boy?
