Dressed as a mother-in-law, she leads the whole family to turn over.

Chapter 431 Departure
"Yes, yes, yes!" Pan Xiuniang echoed from the side, "Although my Xiao Qiao has not officially worshipped Lady Wan as her teacher, Lady Wan has taught her a lot. The child knows how to be grateful. She comes to chat with Lady Wan every now and then. With us here, you don't have to worry."

Yang Xiaoya thanked Pan Xiuniang solemnly and gave her an extra hundred taels.

Pan Xiuniang was so frightened that she kept refusing, "What are you doing? What are you doing giving me the banknotes for? Take them back immediately!"

Yang Xiaoya said sincerely, "Auntie, please keep this money for me. Occasionally, you can buy something for the gentleman. If the gentleman needs medical treatment or medicine, you can help him. If it is not enough, you can go to Rongshu Village to ask my housekeeper for money."

"Then you don't need so much!" Pan Xiuniang was a little hesitant to take it.

One hundred taels of silver, I'm afraid Miss Wan won't be able to spend it all until she dies.

Yang Xiaoya smiled and said, "It's okay! Just keep it!"

Pan Xiuniang had no choice but to accept the banknote.

Only then did Yang Xiaoya feel relieved to go back.

When she returned to the village, she found Xu Nuoyan was not there. After asking, she found out that she and Li had taken the matchmaker to Yang Han's house to propose marriage.

Yang Han went into the mountains early in the morning and came back in the evening.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he saw several women gathered outside his door.

The matchmaker spotted him and immediately shouted at the top of her voice, "Hey! This must be Master Yang Han!"

The word "Master" made Yang Han's body stiffen for a moment. After he recovered, he walked forward inconspicuously, his eyes fell on the familiar Li, and as if he sensed something, he pushed open the gate and invited them in.

Yang Han's house was still the same as before. He was a bachelor living in a small place. It looked spacious, but a little messy. There was dust in the corners. No! It should be said that except for the kitchen and the main room, other places were too dirty to look at.

Fortunately, no one dislikes it.

The matchmaker muttered, "It's really not good for this family to be without a mistress! Master Yang Han, I happen to know a few widows with good conditions. Would you like to consider them?"

Li glared at the matchmaker fiercely, dissatisfied, "Hey! Don't forget what you are here for!"

The matchmaker laughed twice and slapped herself on the lips, "I'm used to it, I'm used to it! Don't be angry, old lady."

She said to Yang Han warmly, "Master Yang Han, I am a famous matchmaker in Dashan Town. My last name is Chen, you can just call me Matchmaker Chen. I'm sure you have guessed why we are here.

I'm not exaggerating. Looking at the entire Quzhou Prefecture, which family can compare to the wealth of our Guangen Marquis Mansion? Not to mention that the third son of Yang is a newly-minted Jinshi! With these conditions, even marrying a princess is enough."

Li couldn't bear to listen any longer and kicked the matchmaker, "Get to the point!"

Matchmaker Chen was in pain, but dared not speak. She pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "Young Master Yang Changsong is attracted to your daughter. Marquis Guangen is interested in marrying your family. We have brought the betrothal gifts. Is Master Yang Han willing?"

Yang Han breathed a sigh of relief and ignored Matchmaker Chen. Instead, he looked at Li. "The Marquis has already told me in advance, and Xiaohua has sent someone to send a letter back. Since the children are willing, and Santie was raised by me, I naturally won't object. Let's do it this way!"

"Okay, okay!" Matchmaker Chen stood up happily, and quickly took out the betrothal gift list. She cleared her throat and was about to read it when Yang Han interrupted her, "Don't say anything, I know everything. Is there anything else you want me to do?"

Matchmaker Chen choked for a moment, as if it was the first time she saw a family marrying off their daughter so unconcerned about the betrothal gift. It took her a while to recover and she murmured, "The next step is to exchange engagement letters and ask someone to pick an auspicious day for the wedding. However, the third young master Yang has been appointed by the emperor to stay in the capital, so I'm afraid he won't be able to come back to get married. This..." This was the focus of their visit today.

Xu Nuoyan had not spoken a word just now, but now he asked politely: "Uncle Han, can you go to the capital?"

Yang Han shook his head without much thought, "I can't go."

Li stared in surprise, "Why can't you go? Yang Han! This is Xiaohua's lifelong event. It's not that Santie doesn't want to come back and get married, but he really can't leave. We can't keep putting it off, right?
If you are worried about the money, it is easy to deal with. After all, it is our family who invited you to the capital, so we will naturally bear all the expenses of your long journey. Moreover, we have a guard team. If we go together, there will be no danger. "

The corners of Yang Han's mouth twitched slightly, but he still had a paralyzed face, "Aunt, that's not what I meant. I have things to do in the mountains and can't leave. Besides, the capital is too far away and I don't want to bother.

But the children are not young anymore, and we really can’t delay any more. In this case, I will write to my old friend and ask him for help. Then Xiaohua will marry from my old friend’s family, and it will be the same with their help.”

"You still have old friends in the capital?" Li was shocked.

Xu Nuoyan and Matchmaker Chen also looked over.

Yang Han was very helpless, "Aunt, I also served in the army before. I have been in the barracks for so many years, and I always have some brothers who are willing to die for me. We are all from different places, and our family backgrounds are different. The capital is under the feet of the emperor. Isn't it normal for me to have an old friend there?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Li slapped her forehead in annoyance, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten all these things! Now it makes sense."

The brother who had a life-and-death friendship with Yang Han must be a good person, so she doesn't have to worry about any complications in this marriage.

Matchmaker Chen didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. The marriage was settled before the cup of tea had even cooled down.

As soon as she was happy, she started talking about nonsense again. Li quickly dragged her out and said goodbye.

Yang Han closed the gate, let out a long sigh, and felt relaxed all over.

After this matter was done, Xu Nuoyan had completed all her tasks when she returned to the village. That night, she had dinner with Old Man Yang of the Li family and others. Before dawn the next day, she left the village with Yang Xiaoya and the children.

First go to the town to pick up Madam Zhou, and then set off for the capital together.

It's scorching hot in Beijing in July. Adults don't want to move on such days, but children are full of energy and always want to run outside.

Jiang Ning couldn't deceive her, so he simply took the maids and old women to the kitchen to make some cool desserts.

In this dynasty, ice was a luxury in summer. The most common dessert for dignitaries to cool down in summer was ice and snow cold yuanzi, which was made of ice, sweet glutinous rice and milk. It tasted similar to modern smoothie syrup, but ordinary people could not afford it.

Their family did have the conditions, but Jiang Ning thought it was a waste and eating smoothies in the hot summer was not good for the body, so he never did it.

The common way for people to cool down in the summer heat is to cook lotus seed soup or herbal tea and cool it in the well. It tastes sweet and refreshing, and a bowl of it will cool your whole body down.

As she has children at home, she plans to use Elsholtzia ciliata and brown sugar rice milk to cook a pot of Elsholtzia ciliata jelly, and then cook some sweet red bean paste, pea yellow, and sugar water, put them together in the well to cool down the water, and then take them out when they are almost cool. When eating, add a little of each and then pour the sugar water on it. It has a unique taste.
