Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

Little Youniang did not notice the subtle change in the old man's attitude. She just smiled innocently and nodded in agreement, then followed her brother to continue their visiting journey.

In less than the time it takes to finish a meal, most families in Literati Lane had left their footprints.

With her innocent and adorable little face, Xiao Youniang quickly got along well with her neighbors and established some preliminary friendships.

At the same time, good news came from Xu Liyun and Zhang Louxuan.

The Hu family was not unfamiliar with them. After several interactions before, the two sides had already established a good relationship.

Although Hu Bin and his son were away on caravan business this time, Mrs. Hu warmly received them.

Mrs. Hu, thinking of the friendship between the two families in which they had overcome difficulties together, and the transaction of the Tianxian Pill facilitated by Zhang Laoer, had a very good impression of the Zhang family.

Upon learning that Zhang Louxuan had won the county exam at such a young age, Mrs. Hu was happy for the Zhang family and secretly glad to have met such a family with unlimited potential.

As for assisting Zhang Louxuan to join the caravan and escorting him to Qingzhou Prefecture to take part in the provincial examination, it was just a piece of cake for the Hu family.

Mrs. Hu saw Zhang Louxuan's extraordinary talent for study and the profound knowledge he showed at such a young age. In the future, he would not only have a chance to pass the imperial examination, but might even become a Jinshi and achieve success in his career.

Mrs. Hu was a thoughtful person. She realized that it would undoubtedly be a wise choice for the Hu family to establish close ties with the Zhang family before Zhang Louxuan could spread his wings and take off.

If Zhang Louxuan really passes the imperial examination and enters the official career in the future, the Hu family can also take advantage of this opportunity and avoid many unnecessary twists and turns.

The experience of the Cheng family made the Hu family deeply realize that in this world, without a solid backer, even if the family is large and powerful, it is difficult to resist an order from the government.

Therefore, forming an alliance with a potential family like the Zhang family is undoubtedly to find a safe haven for oneself and prepare for future storms.

The Hu family had been in the business world for many years and had occasionally encountered setbacks. They inevitably felt aggrieved and began to think about how to find a stable support so that their business path would no longer be full of twists and turns.

This idea was like a seed that had just sprouted in spring. Although small, it was tenacious and gradually took root in the hearts of the Hu family.

However, the current situation is like a chess game, unpredictable. Finding a backer in Chengguan County who is both honest and reliable and able to lend a hand at a critical moment is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The magistrate was upright and incorruptible, and he avoided all forms of power-for-money transactions. Although this was admirable, it also shattered the Hu family's hopes.

As for the Cheng family, although they seem prosperous on the outside, the shady practices behind the scenes make the Hu family fearful and they dare not get involved easily.

So, the whole Hu family searched everywhere like bees collecting honey, but they still couldn't find the towering tree that could shelter them from the wind and rain and allow them to enjoy the blooming flowers together.

Since his own business was still progressing steadily and had not attracted too many people's covetousness, this matter was temporarily shelved, like a pot of unopened tea, waiting for the right time to boil.

The turning point of fate always comes so suddenly. Zhang Louxuan, the eldest son of the Zhang family, seemed to become as dazzling as a star overnight.

The Hu family seemed to have grasped the last straw, and secretly calculated in their hearts, quietly placing the bet of the future on this young talent.

However, all these thoughts were cleverly hidden in the daily courtesies and interactions. The Hu family still maintained a perfect harmony with the Zhang family. The occasional helping hand and assistance, like the spring breeze and rain, quietly and silently nourished the relationship between the two families. They would only wait for Zhang Louxuan to truly soar into the sky, and then they would do their best to lend him a helping hand.

The departure date was settled after a simple discussion between the two families, and Xu Liyun immediately gave Mrs. Hu a considerable sum of silver.

Mrs. Hu hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the gift. Although the money was not an astronomical figure for the Hu family, it was a token of warm friendship.

After Youniang and her brother visited the neighbors, Zhang Laoer, the second young master of the Zhang family, took his two younger brothers and Xiao Ting on a shopping trip.

They shuttled back and forth in the market, carefully selecting rice, flour, oil, and salt, these necessities of life, and filling their backpacks.

The cellar of the new house is spacious and dry, which is the best place to store these supplies. As the old saying goes, if you have food at home, you will not be worried.

Children are in the golden period of growth, and they are growing up like bamboo shoots after spring rain. New clothes naturally become an indispensable part.

Zhang Laoer was particularly attentive. He specially selected fabrics with excellent texture and unique patterns, and prepared to ask skilled tailors to tailor-make clothes for the children, especially for spring, autumn and summer, which not only took into account aesthetics but also comfort.

Zhang Siwa also took Xiao Ting to buy some rapeseed, planning to open a vegetable garden in a corner of their own yard, so that the green vitality could embellish this home that was about to usher in a new life.

As the sun sets, when they return with a full load, Xu Liyun and Zhang Louxuan have already returned. Taking advantage of the fine weather, the new bedding has been hung out to dry in the yard. The smell of the sun and the warmth of the quilts are intertwined, creating a cozy and beautiful atmosphere.

Holding the windmill that her elder brother bought for her on the way, You Niang was happily spinning it in the sunny yard. The little white dog was following her leisurely, barking occasionally, as if it was also sharing this simple happiness.

The breeze blew gently, and a few buds of flowers in the corner of the wall swayed gently, as if whispering. The earth, which had been silent for a winter, gradually woke up at the call of the spring breeze, and all things revived and were full of vitality.

The sky in April was exceptionally blue, and the Hu father and son finally returned to Chengguan County on the eve of Zhang Louxuan's caravan's departure.

The goods sent to the provincial capital this time were extremely popular, especially the longevity pills and beauty pills, which were sold out as soon as they were put on the market and were in short supply.

Several rouge and powder shops in the city have set their sights on these best-selling products, attempting to crack the formula and produce them on their own.

However, is it so easy to copy Zhang Laoer’s secret recipe for making medicine?

The reason why the Zhang family has been able to dominate Chengguan County for many years is precisely because of this unattainable unique skill.

With the help of Zhang Laoer, the Hu father and son became wealthy and took great care of Zhang Louxuan.

The journey from Chengguan County to the provincial capital is long, and it takes at least two or three days to go back and forth. The Zhang family is worried that something might happen to Zhang Louxuan if he goes out alone. After all, although he is smart, he is only a teenager with limited self-protection ability.

After a well-considered family meeting, it was finally decided that Zhang Laoer would accompany Zhang Louxuan on the road to the imperial examination.

Xiao Youniang originally wanted to go with them to experience the prosperity of the provincial capital, but considering the fatigue and unknowns of the journey, and the fact that the main purpose of this trip was Zhang Louxuan's imperial examination, she had to reluctantly give up and stay at home.

Although Xiao Youniang felt sorry for missing the opportunity to explore the city, she soon found new fun, made many new friends in the Literary Lane, and played there every day, never getting tired of it.
