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

When Ye Hongyun looked for a shop, she didn't look to see if there were any for rent or sale. If she found one she liked and thought the location and size were right, she would contact Queen Ye and buy it outright.

No matter what the shop was doing before or whether the business was good or not, if the queen wants to buy the shop, who would dare not sell it?

Queen Ye did not let anyone down and offered a price that was 30% higher than normal.

Zhang Hulan is not in charge of the restaurant's affairs. In addition to checking various account books at the Ministry of Revenue, she is also responsible for the breeding of hybrid rice next year.

The best hybrid rice varieties developed last year were selected for large-scale cultivation.

She plans to distribute hybrid rice seeds to all the people next year.

Western border.

The Duke of Wei's army had already reached the border, but they stopped outside the border.

The Duke of Wei went to the Tibetan envoy to ask for silver and food again, as the previous silver had been spent.

Moreover, a hundred miles ahead, it was already covered with ice and snow. The Duke of Wei asked the Tibetan envoy to write a letter to the Tibetan king to ask for silver and food, and told the Tibetan king that it was difficult to march in the heavy snow, and they would have to wait until after the New Year to enter the Tibetan territory.

The Tibetan envoy had lost his temper, and he could not force the army to leave, so he had no choice but to write a letter to the Tibetan king to report the situation.

This time, the Tubo King only sent tens of thousands of taels of silver, saying that the heavy snow made it difficult to transport food and fodder, and he would make up for it after the New Year.

Duke Wei did not expect that the King of Tubo would also use this trick, which left him speechless.

However, the Tubo King still sent tens of thousands of taels of silver, just to keep him hanging.

It is the twelfth lunar month again. This year has passed so quickly, and Zhang Hulan is going home to celebrate the New Year again.

This year, Daohe Daoxu did not go back to Zhang Hulan's home, so Zhang Hulan took her own children back to Changning County.

There have been great changes in the village this year, and many families have built new houses.

After Shanzi returned home, he bought incense, candles, and paper money to visit He's grave and clear the weeds on the grave.

It has been more than three years since He's death, and Shanzi is no longer the young boy he was back then.

Although Shanzi is still very handsome now, he is already a little taller than Zhang Hulan.

Zhang Hulan felt that Ye Gai and Shanzi had mentioned the matter between him and Zhang Xinyao. After the Chinese New Year, Shanzi would be fifteen years old. In Zhang Hulan's eyes, he was still a child, but to the people here, they had already started talking about marriage.

Zhang Xinyao will be fourteen years old after the New Year. If the two of them are not interested in that, Zhang Hulan can find a new husband for Zhang Xinyao.

Zhang Hulan found an opportunity to ask Zhang Xinyao privately: "Xinyao, what do you think of Shanzi as your husband?"

Zhang Hulan asked directly about her own daughter.

Zhang Xinyao's cheeks flushed, and she said shyly, "Mom, why are you asking this..."

Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "Why are you shy in front of mother? To tell you the truth, mother took Shanzi in because she wanted him to be your husband.

If you're willing, I'll tell Shanzi. If you're not willing, I'll find someone else for you. You can also find someone on your own. If you find someone you like, tell me."

"Mom..." Zhang Xinyao's cheeks were burning hot, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Zhang Hulan.

"Girl, how can you be so thin-skinned? Look at your third sister, she probably doesn't even know what shame is!"

Zhang Xinyao burst out laughing, "Yueyue has that kind of personality. I can't imitate her."

"Okay, just tell me if Shanzi is okay or not. If not, just nod or shake your head."

Zhang Xinyao nodded slightly, then whispered, "Brother Shanzi is a good guy, an honest person."

Zhang Hulan also smiled and said, "That's right, Shanzi is honest and won't bully you in the future. With your temper, if it were someone else, I would really be worried."

Zhang Hulan stroked Zhang Xinyue's face with both hands and said softly, "My daughter has grown up. I will ask Shanzi what he means. If he is willing, I will arrange your marriage, but we have to wait a few years."

Zhang Xinyao hugged Zhang Hulan and buried her head in her shoulder. "Thank you, Mom! You've worked so hard over the years!"

"Silly child, why don't you tell your mother thank you?"

Zhang Hulan turned around and looked for Shanzi.

As soon as Zhang Hulan explained the situation, Shanzi immediately agreed, "Auntie, I do!"

Seeing Shanzi's eagerness to agree, Zhang Hulan smiled and asked, "Shanzi, have you liked my Xinyao for a long time?"

Shanzi scratched his head and smiled foolishly, then asked a little embarrassedly: "Auntie, if my sister Xinyao and I have children in the future, can we let one of them have the surname Zhou?"

Zhang Hulan poked Shanzi's forehead and said, "How old are you? You're already thinking about having children? I can arrange a marriage for you now, but we have to wait a few more years. At least until Xinyao is seventeen years old.

I don’t care about the child’s surname in the future. I’m not asking you to be a live-in son-in-law.”

Shanzi asked in surprise, "Didn't Aunt ask me to be a live-in son-in-law?"

"Why? You want to be a live-in son-in-law?"

Shanzi said, "If I go to someone else's house, I definitely won't want to. But I am willing to be your son-in-law."

Zhang Hulan smiled and touched Shanzi's head, "Alright, I won't let you be my son-in-law.

But let me be clear, even if you don't become my son-in-law, you will still have to support me in my old age."

Shanzi said hurriedly, "Don't worry, auntie, I will definitely treat you like my own mother in the future.

In fact, in my heart, I have long regarded my aunt as my mother.

In this world, besides my grandma, my aunt is the best person to me.

Even those biological mothers and children don’t treat their children as well as my aunt treats me.

I will remember all the kindness Auntie has shown me. I will definitely be filial to Auntie and treat Sister Xinyao well in the future."

Zhang Hulan nodded in satisfaction. "Well, then I'll be waiting to enjoy your blessing from now on."

Zhang Hulan then told Old Man Zhang and Mrs. Wang about Shanzi and Zhang Xinyao, and planned to choose a date in the first month of the lunar year to arrange their engagement.

Wang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, this marriage is fine.

We watched Shanzi grow up, and we are familiar with his parents, who are both honest and decent people.

His grandparents are good people and have good roots, so a child like this will not be bad.

You raised him for a few more years, and with this friendship, Shanzi will definitely treat Xinyao well in the future."

Old man Zhang asked, "Are you planning to let Shanzi come over, or marry Xinyao off?"

Zhang Hulan said: "I'm not marrying her off, but I also don't want Shanzi to be a live-in son-in-law.

After they got married, they still lived with me, but their children took Shanzi's surname.

When all three sisters get married, I can live with whichever one I want."

Zhang Hulan knew that she would most likely stay with Shanzi and Zhang Xinyao. Ye Hongyun was planning to take advantage of Zhang Xinyi, and if that succeeded, Zhang Xinyi would definitely stay in Beijing.

As for Zhang Xinyue, she will basically stay in Beijing in the future.
