At home, Zhang's mother looked at the black token on her hand, which was carved with exquisite patterns and a sign of the Western Chu State on the back. She couldn't let go of her love.

"The qualifications of poor families were obtained like this. From then on, our family was a third-class gentry and became the thirteenth poor family in Mengyin City." Zhang's mother was very excited. In Mengyin City, there were originally a total of twelve poor families, but now the Zhang He family is the thirteenth.

Although the poor family is the lowest class, it is also a privileged class. The most important thing is that after becoming a poor family, you can do many things.

Zhang He looked at his mother's happy look and smiled. He remembered the scene when he was awarded the bad family qualification in public by King Qu Xian in the square. It was supposed to be the city lord who presided over this qualification event, but King Qu Xian gave it to Zhang He himself instead of the city lord. Such glory made many people envious and jealous.

"King Qu Xian wants to win me over." Zhang He knew why King Qu Xian did this.

"After becoming a poor family, we are also a wealthy family. Although we have also obtained some fiefdoms, relying solely on fiefdoms is far from enough. We also need to own some of our own industries so that we can last for a long time." Zhang's mother suddenly said, "I think what do you think when the opportunity is right and reopen a chamber of commerce?"

When Zhang's mother talked to Zhang He, she no longer regarded her son as a child, but was in an equal position.

"Just just take good care of yourself at home. I'll do the things that make money by myself." Zhang He didn't want his mother to work hard. He held a chamber of commerce? It's really a joke. That thing is hard and hard, so it won't be exhausted!

"Silly child, as a wealthy family, it is absolutely impossible to have no property of their own." Zhang's mother said with a smile. She knew that her son was concerned about her and did not let her worry. However, her body has recovered now, how can she still be idle?

"There is no need to hold a chamber of meetings. If you get busy, won’t there be no one to take care of your little sister?" Zhang He played the little sister Zhang Yu’s family card.

"This..." Zhang's mother hesitated for sure. Her daughter is still young now, so she naturally cannot leave her. If she really runs a chamber of commerce, she will be very busy and will have no time to take care of her younger daughter. She once had it and then lost something, Zhang's mother knew what was important and precious to her.

"Mom, Nannan is hungry, when will she have dinner?" Zhang Yu suddenly pinched a dragonfly and ran in excitedly, with her little face flushed. These days, she has had a lot of fun in this big yard.

Behind, a girl about the same age as Zhang He followed in. Her name is Zixuan, and she is the original maid of the owner of the yard. She is skillful and the most important thing is that she can play with Zhang Yu. When she is not here, she can chat with her mother to relieve her boredom. It is precisely because of this reason that Zhang He kept her.

"Okay, please relax. Isn't it just to buy an industry? Just leave it to me. Look, my little sister is broken, so let's have a meal first." Zhang He quickly changed the topic.

"Okay, then let's have a meal first." Zhang's mother smiled when she knew Zhang He's intention.

...

On the dinner table, Zhang's mother gave Zhang He a bowl of old duck soup: "Come on, try how this soup tastes like, it was stewed by me by myself."

Now there is a chef at home. However, Zhang's mother still cooks and makes soup for her children.

Zhang He Meimei took a sip, and the delicious taste immediately spread in her mouth, which made people sad: "It's so delicious!"

When Zhang's mother heard her son say this, her face suddenly filled with smiles.

"Sister Zixuan, you should sit down and eat together." Zhang Yu looked at Zixuan leaving and immediately pouted. These days, Sister Zixuan played with her. In Zhang Yu's heart, she was her eldest sister, not a maid.

Zixuan smiled bitterly. She was a maid, so how could she have dinner with her master?

"Mom, don't let Sister Zixuan go." Zhang Yu's eyes were no different. She just wanted Sister Zixuan to stay and have dinner with her.

"Miss Zixuan, there are no rules outside here. The table is so big, so you can just have dinner with us." Zhang's mother smiled gently. If it were the past, she would have had the concept of status, but after great ups and downs, these rules have been ignored. Moreover, she also liked the little girl Zixuan very much.

"Sit, sit down." Zhang He had no airs. He personally placed a pair of tableware in front of Zixuan.

Zixuan felt strange in her heart. This family really had no airs. After the master said this, she came back obediently and sat down next to Zhang Yu, so that she could take care of Zhang Yu.

"Sister Zixuan, eat meat." Zhang Yu smiled and gave Zixuan a piece of meat.

"Come on, drink a bowl of soup. Old duck soup is very nourishing." Zhang's mother also smiled and served a bowl of soup and handed it to Zixuan.

Seeing Zhang's mother and Zhang Yu being so kind to her, Zixuan's nose felt sour and she had the urge to cry.

"Sister Zixuan, why are you crying?" Zhang Yu noticed Zixuan's strangeness and immediately said in surprise. She took out a flower handkerchief and handed it to Zixuan.

"Zixuan, what's wrong?" Zhang's mother couldn't help but be surprised. Why did she cry so hard?

"Seeing the wife and her family are happy, the maid can't help but think of her relatives, so..." Zixuan sobbed softly.

Zhang's mother understood immediately, and it turned out that she was thinking of her relatives.

"Zixuan, then...whether of your relatives?" Zhang He couldn't help asking.

"The little maid's family is not here. When I was young, there was a lot of flood at home. In order to save the little maid, my parents were washed away by the water. They left their grandfather and the little maid to rely on each other. In desperation, they left their hometown and fled here. Later, they got separated from their grandfather. Fortunately, the previous master was kind and saw that the little maid was pitiful, so they put the little maid in the mansion and gave him a bite of food."

After hearing Zixuan's past, Zhang He couldn't help but sigh. Zixuan turned out to be a miserable person.

"Come on, Zixuan, don't be sad. From now on, treat this place as your own home. Eat first and drink the soup while it's hot, and it tastes fresh." Zhang's mother advised.

Zixuan thanked Zhang's mother gratefully and drank the soup in small sips. Looking at Zixuan's quiet appearance as if she was a lady from a family. A thought suddenly flashed through Zhang He's mind. Zixuan's every move was very well-educated. It seemed that her family should have been considered a wealthy family in the past.

Da da da da da.

The sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came. The doorman ran in in a hurry: "Madam, there are many people visiting outside."

"Many people come to visit?" Zhang He was stunned. There were not many people who knew where he lived.

"It's probably your friend, who came here to congratulate you. Don't be stunned, Uncle Wang, go and invite people in." Zhang's mother said with a smile.

...

"Mr. Zhang, it's indeed a young hero. Look at your eyes, just like the stars in the sky. Tsk tsk, people say that eyes are the windows of the soul. Through your eyes, I can see your heart with connotation! Mr. Zhang, I heard that you are not married yet, and I have a daughter in my family. Although she is not as beautiful as the country, she is a fair-skinned and beautiful beauty. Look..."

A middle-aged fat man wearing silk clothes gives people a sense of wealth. At this moment, he smiled and pulled Zhang He, very intimate.

"Du, Lao Qin, isn't your daughter rumored to be engaged to the Sun family? It is said that you have received all the betrothal gifts." A middle-aged woman next to her couldn't bear it anymore and pretended to be surprised.

"Just just rumors, how can the children of the Sun family be worthy of my baby daughter!" The middle-aged fat man said righteously, "Those who spread rumors deserve to die. How can they slander my daughter like this!"

...

"Brother Zhang He, look, this is the girl-red girl made by my daughter. Isn't it very exquisite? She is a skillful woman. If you marry her, you will be a good wife who is good at managing the family."

"Be a female girl? Do you think marrying a woman is a quilt? If you want to get married, you will naturally marry a woman who can get into the hall and the kitchen. Zhang He, this is a poem written by my daughter. Look, are you very talented? The fortune teller said that her horoscope is very compatible with yours, and she is very good at husbands!"

...

After a group of people came in, they immediately surrounded Zhang He, selling their daughter as if they were selling goods.

"Damn, how did these people find this place!" Zhang He's head was so big that he never expected that these people were actually coming to the door to talk to the media.

"Everyone, I'm really embarrassed. I'm still young, and men should put their career first. There is no intention to marry yet." Zhang He immediately said decisively. Those who didn't know where they came out must refuse decisively.

However, those people were able to give up their faces and come to the door directly. Of course, they would not let Zhang He pass it away in a few words. Even if Zhang He finally issued the order to expel the guest, they still insisted on leaving something for Zhang He to consider it carefully. Among the things left behind, the most are portrait scrolls.

...

"It's so crazy. Unexpectedly, I've become a hot commodity now." Zhang He wiped his cold sweat and invited those people away, and the house was in a mess. The martial arts boy assessment had just ended in the morning, and someone immediately came to the door to talk about the matchmaking at noon. This speed was surprising!

"Uncle Wang, immediately hang a sign on the gate and refuse to speak out for the match!" Zhang He remembered that there might be others, so he continued to give orders.

"Haha, don't forget that you are the youngest poor family head in Mengyin City. Today, King Qu Xian personally gave you a gift, which shows that you have a bright future in the future. Of course, they should start as soon as possible." Zhang's mother smiled. The happiest thing to see her son is of course her.

"Young Master, someone is visiting you outside." Not long after Wang Bo left, he came back panting.

"Tell those who are in the matchmaker, just say I'm out and not here!" Zhang He said angrily.

"It's not about being a matchmaker, it's your friend. One is called Fatty Tang and the other is called Dae Chui..." Wang Bo hesitated.

"So they are. Then I'll go and have a look." Zhang He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not a matchmaker at home, otherwise, Zhang He would have to find a place to avoid the limelight first.

"Strange, they are not eating at home, so why are they coming here to do so anxiously?" Zhang He couldn't help but wonder.
