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

Zhang Hulan laughed and said, "Silly child, I'm still so young! There's still plenty of time until I can no longer take care of myself."

Shanzi said, "Xinyi and Xinyue will both be in Beijing from now on. We can't leave you alone in your hometown and only be able to come home to see you once during the Chinese New Year.

Besides, I prefer the countryside. I don't have any lofty ambitions. I just want to live a simple life with Xinyao and be filial to you."

Zhang Hulan was very happy. Isn’t this son-in-law better than some of her sons?

Some sons, after growing up, forget their mothers even if they get married. They only care about their own happiness and would not care about so many things.

Shanzi then scratched his head and said, "Of course, if Auntie wants me to study and take the imperial examination, then I will listen to you."

Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "Just follow your own ideas. Live the life you want. Don't live according to other people's will. I don't ask anything else from you, just treat Xinyao well in the future!"

"Don't worry, auntie. I will treat Xinyao well in the future. I will be filial to you, my grandparents, and all the elders in the family."

"Good, good, what a good boy!" Wang smiled. Hearing Shanzi's promise, the Zhang family was very happy.

Happy times are always short. After staying at home for a few days, Zhang Hulan and his party set off back to the capital.

After returning to the capital, Ye Hongyun began to arrange the engagement of Wu Yunyang and Zhang Xinyi.

Zhang Hulan's family was married into the family of the Minister of Revenue. All the officials in the capital had only one thought: this Zhang family must not be offended in the future.

After Wu Yunyang and Zhang Xinyi's marriage was settled, Zhang Hulan asked Daochen to choose an auspicious wedding date for Shanzi and Zhang Xinyao.

The time was set for August, so Zhang Hulan took Shanzi and Zhang Xinyao back to Daping Village in mid-July, and the rest of the Zhang family also followed.

On the eve of the wedding, Wu Deyong, Ye Hongyun, and Ye Hongling, the wife of Duke Wei, all came.

Daohe also brought Xuanning to congratulate Zhang Hulan.

When my sister-in-law gets married, my future brother-in-law should come and give her a gift.

On the wedding day, everyone in the village came to help.

Shanzi was unable to spend the wedding night because Zhang Xiaobing, Daohe and the others got him drunk to the point of being unconscious.

The next morning, Shanzi and Zhang Xinyao held up teacups in both hands to offer tea.

"Mom, please have some tea!"

Zhang Hulan drank up the tea for both of them with a smile, and then gave each of them a big red envelope.

After offering tea, Shanzi took Zhang Xinyao to pay homage to Mrs. He.

Shanzi knelt in front of He's grave without saying anything, with a smile on his face.

Shanzi knew that if grandma knew that he was married, and that he married Aunt Zhang's daughter, she would be very happy, and she would definitely bless him and Xinyao in heaven.

After Shanzi and Zhang Xinyao’s wedding, Zhang Hulan and others returned to the capital together.

Time flies and another year has passed. A lot of things have happened this year.

Wu Yunyang and Zhang Xinyi also got married, Xie Xiaoman became pregnant, and Zhang Xiaojun was transferred to the Eastern Palace to serve as the prince's personal guard.

Zhang Xiaobing shamelessly asked Daohe to go to the Eastern Palace with him to serve as his personal guard, not to protect the prince, but to make it easier for him to meet Xuan Ning.

Emperor Yongxing and Empress Ye also noticed the two people's little actions, but neither of them said anything.

Emperor Yongxing also talked to Zhang Hulan and said that he would arrange a marriage between Xuan Ning and Zhang Xiaobing in the future and let Zhang Xiaobing become the son-in-law.

Zhang Hulan really admires Zhang Xiaobing, who is destined to be a gigolo.

The older children in the family have their own homes and their own paths to follow.

Zhang Hulan felt that she could let go and no longer need to treat them like flowers in a greenhouse. They would have to walk their own path in the future.

So at the end of this year, Zhang Hulan submitted his resignation to Emperor Yongxing.

Emperor Yongxing asked, "Do you really have to resign?"

Zhang Hulan said, "Your Majesty, my parents are old, and I want to go home to show my filial piety.

I am a citizen of the Yongning Kingdom, and it makes no difference whether I am an official or not.

As long as the emperor needs it, I will do my best to help him."

Emperor Yongxing had long known that Zhang Hulan was planning to resign, so he did not try to keep him.

"Since you have made up your mind to leave, I will not force you. I remember all your contributions, and you can rest assured that I will take care of your children."

Zhang Hulan bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help!"

Before leaving the capital, Zhang Hulan invited Ye Hongyun, the Wang family, the Wu family, Duke Wei and his wife, and Qin Bingrong to a meal, and asked them to take better care of the children in the future.

Ye Hongyun was very reluctant to leave. She held Zhang Hulan's hand tightly and said, "Do you really have to go back? You can bring your parents, elder brother and younger brothers to Beijing!"

It just so happens that several of your children are also in Beijing. Wouldn’t it be nice for the whole family to be in Beijing from now on?"

Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "My parents have lived in the countryside all their lives and are not used to city life.

I came here several times before, but I always said I wasn’t used to it. I also prefer life in the countryside.

Don't act like we're going to be apart forever. It's not like we won't see each other again in the future. My Xinyi is still at your house.

Let me tell you, if my Xinyi gets wronged, I will come to your house and make trouble!"

Ye Hongyun chuckled and said, "That's perfect. If I miss you, I'll bully Xinyi and make her write to you to complain!"

Qin Bingrong also went when Zhang Hulan hosted a dinner.

Then, when no one was around, Qin Bingrong asked Zhang Hulan, "When I retire and return home, I'll go to Daping Village and build two small houses. Then I'll ask you to keep me company, okay?"

Zhang Hulan looked at Qin Bingrong with a smile. This guy was the same. He was in his forties and still hadn't found a wife.

Zhang Hulan didn't hate Qin Bingrong. Instead, she felt that Qin Bingrong was a good person in every aspect.

It's just that she was afraid of trouble and was too lazy to deal with it.

However, after knowing Qin Bingrong for so many years, I feel that he is emotionally stable. I have never seen him angry, and he always speaks slowly and steadily.

Zhang Hulan suddenly thought that her children had grown up and she was only 36 years old. It wasn't too late for her to fall in love, right?

How about finding something to do?

Otherwise, wouldn’t the rest of my life be too boring?

Ever since he confessed his feelings to Zhang Hulan and was rejected last time, he never mentioned that matter to Zhang Hulan again.

Now that Zhang Hulan was leaving, Qin Bingrong thought that since they couldn't be husband and wife, it would be nice for them to be old friends and companions when they were old, so he asked this question.

Zhang Hulan looked at Qin Bingrong with a smile, threw him a coquettish glance, and said, "Okay! Then you better come early!"

Qin Bingrong felt like he was electrocuted and his heart beat faster.

"You, are you telling the truth?"

Zhang Hulan blinked. "Whether it's true or not, you'll know when you go there..."

Qin Bingrong's breathing became a little faster. After saying goodbye to Zhang Hulan, Qin Bingrong entered the palace overnight.

Then the roar of Emperor Yongxing came from his imperial study:

"Qin Bingrong, you came here so late at night that I thought something terrible had happened. Are you going to abandon me for a woman?

I tell you, unless you can train a prime minister for me, don’t even think about it…”
