Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"Yes, Mom, let me go and look after the kitchen..." Xiaoting also said.

Zhao smiled and said, "Alas, our family doesn't have so many old-fashioned rules. Besides, there aren't that many things to do. I'm familiar with them. Besides, we have enough manpower. I'll just give a few instructions and wait for people to come. You guys go first and wait for a while. I'll find time to come out. Then, I'll chat with you..."

Since Zhao said so, Zhang no longer refused. Xiaoting took Zhang and Xiaolan to the courtyard where she lived.

Zhang saw that the yard was clean and tidy, without even a speck of debris. Although she didn't say anything, it was clear from her expression that she was very satisfied with her daughter's living environment. From the small yard, it was clear that the daughter she had raised would be very capable even after getting married.

When the three of them entered the house, a warm breeze immediately rushed over them. Zhang and Xiaolan took off their outer coats and sat on the kang.

Zhang saw that the furnishings in the house were filled with bright red decorations and all kinds of furniture, all of which were luxurious and grand, and she couldn't help but feel satisfied.

Xiaoting was busy downstairs, asking the little maid to put a kang table on the kang, and brought up some fine fruits and snacks for Zhang and Xiaolan to eat together... After everything was arranged, she went up to the kang and sat next to Zhang.

"To live life, we must have two things in common. You respect me and I respect you, then we can live in harmony..." Zhang said with emotion.

Zhang and Xiaolan went out, and brought their maids Xiaoqing and Xiaolu with them. So after everything was arranged, Xiaoting asked the maid who served her to go out and see if she could help Zhao...

"Seeing that you are living a good life, I, as a mother, feel relieved..."

As the three mothers were talking, they heard footsteps outside. After a while, several people walked into the yard, talking and laughing.

The Bao family is hosting a dinner party today. At this time, the guests have arrived one after another, including Sheng Yugui's family. These people were able to bring Xiaoting here, so they must be familiar with the Sheng family.

"When is the date for your Jiaxing's wedding?" Zhao turned to ask Xin, and the topic turned to the marriage of Jiaxing and Xiaoyan.

Around noon, Zhao started to set up the table and prepare the banquet. Zhang, Xiaolan, Xin, Jiayu and others sat at the same table.

After dinner, the guests left one after another. Because Shengxuan and Xiaowen had to go to another place for a banquet, the whole family said goodbye and left first.

When they got home, Xiao Lan boiled a pot of hawthorn water, and the family sat around it, drinking tea and talking.

"Why is Xiaoting's stomach still not moving..." Zhang said worriedly.

"Mom, my eldest sister has only been married for a few days, how could it be so soon..." Xiao Lan held her forehead and said.

Then the topic turned to the banquet that Sheng Xuan and Xiao Wen were going to attend later. After drinking mountain tea, the family went back to their rooms to rest. The days during the Chinese New Year were much busier than usual. There were banquets every day, and Sheng Xuan was particularly tired. Sometimes he had to rush from one family to another...

The next day was the fifth day of the first lunar month, and dumplings were eaten. The family got up early, and Zhang prepared a meal of beef dumplings, and then Shengxuan took Xiaowen out for a banquet...

It was decided before the New Year that her family would hold a dinner party on the sixth day of the first lunar month. Zhang and Xiaolan planned to make good preparations today to avoid being in a hurry tomorrow.

In the afternoon, Liu brought Xiao Ye to help, because their family also invited Sheng Hao and his family to the banquet tomorrow.

"Xiao Ye, have you been to the old house these days?" Xiao Lan asked Xiao Ye. Xiao Lan wanted to know how the old man and old lady in the old house dealt with the rumors about Xiao Yin spread by Sheng Kai and Cui.

"We went there yesterday. Grandpa sent Brother Sheng Hong to call my dad over... Actually, Brother Sheng Hong came to your house first, but didn't your family go to a banquet?... Yesterday, Grandpa asked us if we knew which family you went to for the banquet... But we all said we didn't know, otherwise, we would have to call Third Uncle back... Grandpa and Grandma knew about the rumors and almost had a fight with Second Aunt's wife... Brother Sheng Hong asked my dad to go over and mediate..."

When Xiao Lan heard Xiao Ye say that someone came to the old house yesterday to look for Sheng Xuan, she couldn't help but hold her forehead... She thought, it was a good thing that the Bao family had a dinner party yesterday, and Sheng Xuan and Xiao Wen went out again in the afternoon, and Sheng Hao didn't know which family they went to visit or get married, otherwise, based on the nature of the Sheng family, the old man would really send someone to look for Sheng Xuan.

When did their family become so important in the eyes of the old house? Originally, their family was not valued. The old Sheng family had always looked down on them. Now, even the smallest matters were brought to them...

Even if Sheng Xuan and Xiao Wen were asked to go there, what would it do? The affairs of the old house were always decided by Grandpa Sheng...

"Has Fourth Uncle gone?" Xiao Lan asked.

"How can I not go?" Xiao Ye looked depressed. "My father didn't want to go. He also said at the time that there was nothing he could do and who could he persuade. No matter what he said, the people at the old house wouldn't listen... In the end, my grandfather and grandmother still sent people to call him, but my father had no choice but to go."

"I went with them too... I was really afraid that my dad would fall into their trap..." Xiao Ye had no good feelings towards the old house, so he was very wary of the place.

It's not her fault. Their family has been through a lot since the separation, and she has to learn from her mistakes.

"My father arrived there, but no one allowed him to speak...over there was our second uncle and grandfather arguing..." Xiao Ye recounted in great detail what had happened in the old house yesterday.

It turned out that it was the neighbors who revealed what the second brother's family said outside to the old man and Cui, but they were rather subtle... Old Man Sheng was very old and quite worldly-wise, and he heard something wrong at the time. That night, Old Man Sheng asked Sheng Kai about it, and Sheng Kai denied it at the time.
