Chapter 102: Discussing Xu Wei'an's Marriage in Wangcheng

Although Xu Nian and his crew were carrying goods, it only took them four days to get back to Wansheng County.

County Government Shousong Hall

Wang was extremely happy to learn that her granddaughter and second daughter-in-law had returned home. She stood up and was about to go out to greet them. Aunt Zhang held Wang's arm and advised, "Madam, you'd better sit here and wait for the eldest daughter and the second wife. Otherwise, the eldest daughter will be angry again when she sees that you are tired."

Wang was a little scared when she thought of her granddaughter's angry look, "Then I'd better wait here", and then she muttered to Aunt Zhang, "The eldest girl is good in every way, but she has such a bad temper. I don't know who she takes after. When she looks stern, she looks more stern than her father."

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "The eldest lady is also worried about your and the old lady's health. Have you forgotten that you almost fell in the yard last time?"

Wang looked embarrassed. She didn't realize how fast she ran. She almost fell flat on her face.

Aunt Zhang heard the noise in the yard and said with a smile, "It must be the eldest lady coming over." Wang stood up and ran to the door, and sure enough, she saw a group of people walking over, talking and laughing.

"Grandma, I missed you so much. Do you miss your granddaughter?" Wang looked at the girl who ran into her arms, laughed and slapped the girl twice.

"You naughty monkey, you actually used sweet words to deceive me, an old woman."

Xu Nian helped Wang sit on the chair, and said coquettishly beside Wang's hand: "What my granddaughter said is true. If you don't believe me, ask your aunt."

Zheng also came forward to greet her and said, "How are you, mother-in-law? I have to testify for Nian'er, who has been talking about you all the way."

Wang saw that Zheng's eyes were full of joy and knew that this time she went to look for a relative, she was sure that they would be successful.

"Don't talk about Nian'er anymore. I also want to ask you, have you found your in-laws?"

Zheng happily told everyone what happened after arriving in Tiandong County. When everyone heard that Xu Nian had booked an entire teahouse to set up the stage, they were both surprised and impressed.

"It seems like it was a good idea to let Nian'er go with me this time, otherwise it would be hard to find a place in such a big county."

Zheng agreed with what Xiao Wang said, and then Zheng recounted the experiences of her family on the way to escape. When the Xu family heard about the hardships that Zheng's family had endured on the way to escape, they were so sad that they shed tears.

"It's not easy for the in-laws, second brother. Why did you come back so soon? It took a lot of effort to find them. You should stay a few more days to accompany your in-laws."

Xu Nian then told the family that he was about to go to the royal city. Everyone in the Xu family was surprised to hear the news.

"How can this be possible? You are a little girl going to the royal city by yourself. What if something happens there and you don't even have anyone to discuss it with? No, no, I don't agree with you going."

Xu Nian knew that Tian would object, so he did not hide it from his family.

"I went to the royal city this time to build a sugar factory."

"Build a sugar mill?"

Xu Nian nodded and said seriously, "I found beets in Yakou Village, and I remember that the book said that this kind of beets is the raw material for making white sugar, so I have to take a batch of beets to the royal city."

After hearing what Xu Nian said, Tian was at a loss for a moment. Although she didn't understand political affairs, she knew that this was a big deal.

Xu Nian knew that her family was against it because they were worried about her safety, so she comforted them, "Don't worry, mother. Luo Jin'an sent a letter to Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang and his guards will escort me to the royal city this time."

Wang knew that she did not know much about such a big matter, but she knew that she would be poor if she went out, so she asked Aunt Zhang to bring her money box.

"Here, big girl, this is all of grandma's private money, take it for emergency use."

"Grandma, how can I ask you for money? Besides, I have the income from the medicine shop and the teahouse, so I really don't need money."

Wang's face turned fierce and she said sternly, "What you have is yours, and this is given to me by an old woman, how can they be the same?"

In the end, Xu Nian had no choice but to accept it after trying to refuse, but she was determined to buy a big farm for her grandmother when she returned from the royal city.

In the evening, the Xu family gathered in Shousongyuan for a reunion dinner. Now everyone in the Xu family is busy with their own things, and it is not easy to get everyone together.

Xu Yaozu and others also knew that Xu Nian would leave for the royal city tomorrow.

"Nian'er, sugar production is a matter of great importance. When you get there, listen more and talk less. If you are unsure, ask the prince..." Xu Yaozu gave some worried instructions.

"Don't worry, Dad. I know my limits."

"That's right, big brother, don't worry too much, but it's a pity, if it weren't for the matter of the medicine shop, I would have been able to go with Nian'er."

Zheng rolled her eyes at Xu Fugui. Don't think she doesn't know that he wants to visit the royal city and even said he wants to accompany Nian'er.

"During this period of time, the medicine shop will trouble Second Uncle and Third Uncle. By the way, I promised Mr. Su from Tiandong County that I would provide him with a batch of medicinal materials for free every year. Third Uncle, remember to save some."

"Don't worry, I will contact him in the next two days."

When Zheng heard this from Mr. Su, she remembered that there was one thing she had forgotten to do.

"Mom, weren't you worried about my marriage before? I have a candidate here."

Xu Weian, who was eating rice, paused. Wasn't they talking about Nian'er going to the royal city? Why were they talking about him for no reason?

Wang immediately became interested after hearing this. Her youngest son's marriage had become a major concern for her. She had no idea what he was busy with every day and she couldn't even catch a glimpse of him, let alone meet him.

"Mother, Nian'er has also seen the girl I'm talking about. She is the only daughter of Master Su. Not only is she good-looking and kind, but most importantly, she comes from a good family."

Seeing everyone looking at him inquiringly, Xu Nian nodded and said, "She is indeed a good person, but I don't know if my uncle and Miss Su will be compatible."

When Wang heard her granddaughter praising the girl, she was very moved and wanted to take her youngest son to Tiandong County to meet her immediately.

Xu Weian's hair stood on end, and he said anxiously, "Mom, the autumn harvest is coming soon. This is the first year of planting new crops, and I still have a lot of things to do."

Wang raised her eyebrows, "Your elder brother, the county magistrate, is not as busy as you are, why are you, a petty official, busying yourself?"

Xu Weian had a worried look on his face because he had to run around so hard just because he was a minor official.

Xu Yaozu glanced at his youngest brother and suggested, "Mother, I am not trying to shirk my responsibility. I am really too busy at the government office to leave. Why don't you ask my second brother's wife to write a letter to Madam Su. If the Su family is interested, you can ask them to come to Wansheng County.

Coincidentally, didn't Nian'er just say that she had left a batch of medicinal herbs for the Su family? This is also a reason. Even if the marriage fails in the end, it will not affect Miss Su's reputation. "

Wang thought this was a good idea, so she handed the matter over to Zheng.

Xu Weian looked at his mother who had calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief. He had dodged his mother's "speedy legs" again today. Hehe...
