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

Qin Bingrong also looked at Zhang Hulan, "Sister Zhang, just tell me what you think.

I know it's a bit abrupt to bring this up today, but since my uncle and aunt are here, I'll just bring it up."

Zhang Hulan said expressionlessly, "Master Qin, we are not suitable."

"If there's anything inappropriate, tell me and I'll see if I can change it."

"I'm a divorced woman with three daughters, and you haven't even started a family yet."

"That's not a problem. I don't care. I know all your three daughters. They are very well-behaved and sensible. I will treat them as my own from now on."

"I won't stay in Beijing. I'll go back to my hometown in three to five years at most."

"You're resigning?" Qin Bingrong was a little surprised. "Isn't it good to stay in the capital? With your abilities, the emperor admires and trusts you very much. You will definitely be promoted in the future."

Zhang Hulan said: "I know my own worth best. I only know how to farm, and I don't know anything else.

Besides, my parents are old, and I want to go home to take care of them.

I don’t want to end up like Mr. Qin, who regrets it when his parents are gone.”

Qin Bingrong bowed to Zhang Hulan and said, "This is what I admire about Sister Zhang.

If other people were valued and trusted by the emperor like Sister Zhang, they would definitely find ways to climb up and become higher officials.

But Zhang Meizi was thinking about serving her parents, and her filial piety made Qin feel ashamed.

If Qin had had the same awareness as Zhang Meizi earlier, he wouldn't have been unable to see his parents for the last time.

What Zhang Meizi said is not a problem. I will accompany Zhang Meizi back to her hometown in the future. Your parents will be our playful parents, and we will serve them together.

But it may be a little later. I have to help the emperor deal with state affairs, and then I can leave after someone takes over."

Zhang Hulan was speechless.

"I'm ugly."

"Sister Zhang, don't underestimate yourself. Although her looks may not be stunning, she is still quite pretty. Besides, I don't really care about appearance."

Zhang Hulan gritted her teeth and said, "I think you're ugly."

Qin Bingrong wasn't angry at all. He touched his face, stretched out his arms, and turned in front of Zhang Hulan, saying, "Sister Zhang, there's no need to deliberately insult me. I'm not particularly handsome, but I'm still presentable. I won't lose face if I take him out."

Zhang Hulan didn't recognize the Qin Bingrong in front of her. He was completely different from the Qin Bingrong of the past. She wondered what was wrong with this guy today.

However, considering Qin Bingrong's conditions, he would definitely be a rich bachelor in later generations. If a man like him is still single, I wonder how many women would rush to throw themselves at him.

But this has no appeal to Zhang Hulan.

She didn't know how comfortable and free her life was now.

How desperate was she to catch a louse and put it on her own head?

She had already made her refusal very clear. Zhang Hulan didn't know whether Qin Bingrong really didn't understand or was just pretending to be stupid. It seemed better to be more direct.

"Master Qin, I'm sorry, I have no plans to remarry. You are so well-off, you should find someone else."

Wang sighed in her heart. For now, she was still very satisfied with Qin Bingrong.

She also hopes that her daughter can remarry so that she can feel more at ease with someone who understands her.

But she knew Zhang Hulan's character, and no one could force her to do something she didn't want to do.

Qin Bingrong asked, "Is there something I didn't do well enough? If so, please tell me and I'll try my best to correct it."

Zhang Hulan was about to go berserk. "Master Qin, I told you I don't want to get married again."

Zhang Hulan felt that she had to find a way to stop all men from thinking about her, otherwise someone might come to her in the future.

Zhang Hulan took a deep breath and said, "To tell you the truth, I don't like men now. I like women."

Zhang Hulan's words struck the Zhang family like a bolt from the blue. Wang quickly said, "Ni'er, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Old man Zhang glared at him and said, "What are you doing? If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. Why are you talking about yourself like that?"

Li and Xiang Chunhua also looked at Zhang Hulan in surprise, not knowing what to say.

Zhang Hulan said, "I'm not talking nonsense. I have no interest in men at all right now."

Zhang Hulan then said to Qin Bingrong, "Master Qin, please go back. Don't mention this matter again, or we won't even be friends anymore."

Qin Bingrong left Zhang Hulan's house somewhat frustrated and returned to the Wang family. Duke Wei quickly approached him and asked, "How is it? Did the method I taught you work?

To pursue a woman, you need to be thick-skinned and persistent."

Qin Bingrong sighed and said, "It doesn't work. It didn't work."

"What? It didn't work out?" Duke Wei asked in surprise, "Does Zhang's niece have such high standards? Even you don't like her?"

Emperor Yongxing and Lord Wang were also surprised that Zhang Hulan didn't like Qin Bingrong.

Emperor Yongxing asked, "What's the reason?"

Qin Bingrong replied: "She said she doesn't like men, she likes women."

This sentence shocked everyone present.

Wang Xingren exclaimed, "What? Auntie likes women?"

Zhang Dahua's eyes widened. "Master Qin, please stop talking nonsense and tarnish my aunt's reputation."

Although this reputation is not a bad reputation, it is not a good reputation. If it gets out, I will definitely be looked at strangely by others in the future.

Qin Bingrong said, "I'm not talking nonsense. It was Zhang Tunjian who said it himself."

Queen Ye covered her mouth and laughed. She didn't believe what he said. She was sure that Zhang Hulan said this on purpose in order to reject Qin Bingrong.

Queen Ye said, "If that's the case, forget it. Don't force it."

Emperor Yongxing also said, "My dear Qin, since they are unwilling, don't force it. How about I introduce a few to you?"

Qin Bingrong hurriedly bowed, "Let's just forget it."

Emperor Yongxing did not force it, and the matter was left at that.

Everyone was watching Qin Bingrong for fun, and at the same time they all felt sorry for him for three seconds.

I'm in my thirties now, and I finally have someone I'm interested in, but she's not interested.

Time flies and it’s already the New Year.

Emperor Yongxing, Duke of Wei, and Marquis Wang left on the eighth day of the first lunar month with some guards.

They want to go and see other places. It is impossible for them to just come here to celebrate the New Year and then go back.

Zhang Hulan and her companions, along with Empress Ye and her companions, also set out for the capital on the eighth day of the first lunar month.

The main reason was that Qin Bingrong had to go back. Emperor Yongxing was away, and many things in the court had to be handled by Qin Bingrong.

Old Man Zhang and Mrs. Wang also went to the capital together. Zhang Hulan also told Zhang Hujun and Zhang Hubing that they might have to stay in the capital for a while, and she would personally send them back when the time comes.
