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

Zhang Hulan felt a little comforted, knowing that she was still young.

Zhang Hulan said, "I will grant you a marriage first, and then you can get married when you reach the right age."

"Is that so? Okay then!" Zhang Xinyue nodded.

What else could Zhang Hulan say? She said nothing more, found the imperial edict that Emperor Yongxing had given her without her name on it, and went back into the palace.

She handed the imperial edict to Emperor Yongxing, "Your Majesty, please issue the edict."

Emperor Yongxing smiled and nodded, then asked, "When will you return to Changning County? Should I issue the decree now or wait until you return after the New Year?"

Zhang Hulan replied, "I will be leaving for my hometown in three days. Everything is up to the emperor!"

"To prevent Tianjun from worrying about it, I will issue an order tomorrow."

The next day, Emperor Yongxing issued an edict granting Daohe and Zhang Xinyue a marriage. All the civil and military officials in the court had a feeling that the most favored family now was not the Wang family or the Wu family, but Zhang Hulan who came from the countryside.

After Emperor Yongxing issued his decree in the morning, Ye Hongyun came running over in the afternoon. Then, she pestered Zhang Hulan and tried to arrange a marriage for Wu Yunyang and Zhang Xinyi.

Zhang Xinyi is fourteen this year, and will be fifteen after the New Year, which is also the age to get married.

Ye Hongyun likes Zhang Xinyao and Zhang Xinyi very much. In the past two years, the restaurant has been basically run by the two sisters, and they have managed the restaurant very well.

However, Zhang Xinyao is already engaged to Shanzi, and now Emperor Yongxing has granted a marriage between Daohe and Zhang Xinyue, so Ye Hongyun can't wait any longer. It would be a pity if Zhang Xinyi is also snatched away by someone else.

Zhang Hulan had no way to deal with Ye Hongyun, so she had to ask Zhang Xinyi for her opinion. However, Zhang Xinyi said she had no opinion and let Zhang Hulan make the decision.

Among the three sisters, Zhang Xinyao has a gentle personality, Zhang Xinyue has a lively personality, and Zhang Xinyi has a somewhat cold personality, as if she doesn't care much about matters between men and women.

Other girls of her age have already started to pay attention to those talented young men, but Zhang Xinyi stays in the restaurant every day to take care of business and check the accounts every day, as if she is only interested in doing business and making money.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Hulan agreed to Ye Hongyun because both the Wu family and Wu Yunyang himself were good choices.

Zhang Hulan and Ye Hongyun agreed to get engaged after they returned after the New Year.

After her three daughters' marriages were settled, Zhang Hulan suddenly didn't want to stay in Beijing anymore. She wanted to go back to Daping Village to live a good life.

Now she no longer has to worry about hybrid rice, and potatoes have also begun to be promoted. Next year, large quantities of hybrid rice seeds and potatoes will be distributed to various state capitals, and then the people will start planting them.

Zhang Hulan is no longer useful now, and she thinks she can go home and retire in a year or two.

……

The procession going home was very lively.

Duanmu Cong and his family also went back to Zhang Hulan's home to celebrate the New Year this year, and Zhang Hujun also brought Xie Xiaoman with him.

There is another person who will also go to Daping Village, Princess Xuanning.

Princess Xuanning's reason was that she wanted to play with Zhang Xinyue.

Zhang Xinyue has very few female friends, and the only one she can play with is Princess Xuanning.

Daohe also wanted to go back to Daping Village with them, but now he couldn't run around as freely as before. He had to behave like a prince.

After returning to Daping Village this year, Zhang Hulan did not let Dong Jianyong and Xu Hu go back to Beijing with her. She asked the five old friends to stay at home together to retire.

Dong Jianyong said to Zhang Hulan, "Niece, I'm still strong and healthy. It's no problem for me to drive the carriage for you."

Zhang Hulan bowed to the five men and said, "Five uncles, thank you for your hard work over the years. If it weren't for you five taking care of me, some things would definitely be much more troublesome for me.

Now that I'm in Beijing, basically nothing will go wrong. You guys should enjoy your life.

Don't worry about the things on the farm. My elder brother and the others will take care of it.

From now on, you and my dad will bask in the sun and go fishing together every day. I will come back in a few years and I will accompany you to bask in the sun too."

There is really no need for Luo Changqi and the others to worry about anything at the manor now. Zhang Hujun has taken good care of it, so they just wander around the manor when they have nothing to do.

Luo Changqi said, "Since my niece has made arrangements, we will accept your kindness. We will rely on you for support from now on."

"Uncle Luo, what are you talking about? You have helped me so much, now it's time for me to repay you..."

……

In the past few days since Zhang Hulan came back, people still come to her house every day.

Zhang Hulan was still the same as before, chatting and laughing with the ladies in the village, without any airs at all.

Zhang Xiaobing, Zhang Xinyue and others have fun every day.

Princess Xuanning wanted to watch the fishing again, so Zhang Xinyue asked Zhang Hujun for a fishing net, and then they pulled the net to catch fish themselves.

Zhang Hulan discovered one thing: Princess Xuanning seemed to like calling Zhang Xiaobing very much, and would look for Zhang Xiaobing whenever she had something to do.

She lived in Zhang Hulan's house, and Zhang Xiaobing naturally lived in his own house when he returned home. Princess Xuanning would go to find Zhang Xiaobing every morning when she woke up.

Zhang Hulan didn't ask anything. If this kid could abduct the princess, it would be a great achievement for him.

Zhang Hulan still remembered that Zhang Hubing had asked Zhang Xiaobing to study hard so that he could enjoy his blessings. Zhang Xiaobing wanted his father to study and enjoy his blessings. This kid was born to be a lazy person.

During the New Year's Eve vigil, Zhang Hulan asked Shanzi, "Shanzi, you'll be eighteen next year, and it's time to prepare for your wedding to Xinyao. Do you want to hold your wedding in Beijing or back in the village?"

Shanzi and Zhang Xinyao blushed when they heard Zhang Hulan's question. Fortunately, it was dark at night and no one saw them.

Everyone in the Zhang family looked at Shanzi and Zhang Xinyao with a smile. Wang said, "Yes, you are not young anymore. It's time to get married."

Zhang Xinyue said, "Brother Shanzi, you can give me a big red envelope when the time comes, otherwise I won't call you brother-in-law!"

Shanzi said in embarrassment: "I will definitely pay for it!"

Zhang Xiaobing followed suit, "Good for me!"

After being laughed at by Zhang Xiaobing and the others for a while, Shanzi finally replied, "Auntie, I want to go back to the village to hold it."

Zhang Hulan nodded. "Okay, then I'll pick a date and come back to the village to hold your wedding."

Then Zhang Hulan asked, "Do you want to renovate your old house as your wedding room, or do you want to stay at our house?"

"Let's not renovate the house. Xinyao and I will live with Auntie in the future anyway, so it will be empty even if we renovate it."

Shanzi paused for a moment, then asked Zhang Hulan, "Auntie, you're going back to the village, right?"

Zhang Hulan nodded and said, "Yes, I still like life in the countryside."

"Okay, then Xinyao and I will both go back to the village," Shanzi said. "I'll be back in the village as a teacher at the school, teaching the children and helping Xinyao manage the farm. You don't have to worry about anything anymore. Just have fun every day. We'll take care of you from now on."

Zhang Hulan asked, "Don't you want to take the imperial examination?"

Shanzi replied: "If you want to take an exam to get a degree, then the scholar exam is enough. I guess I can only take the scholar exam.

If you want to achieve a higher academic title, it will probably take a long time.

Even if I could pass the exam to get a higher rank, I wouldn't want to. If I did pass and become an official, I wouldn't know where I'd be assigned to work, and I wouldn't be able to take care of my aunt.
