There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Rice Garden.

Zhou Jingwan sat leisurely under the flower shed, enjoying tea while admiring the flowers in full bloom in the courtyard.

"Daohua, your family's dim sum is really delicious, where did you buy it?" After getting to know each other, Zhou Jingwan directly called Daohua by her nickname.

The two girls are about the same age, without the names of sisters and sisters.

Wang Man'er smiled and replied, "My girl made the desserts herself. I knew that the girl was coming and prepared them in advance."

Hearing this, Zhou Jingwan looked at Daohua in surprise: "Really?"

Daohua smiled: "My grandmother loves soft and glutinous desserts. Whenever I have time, I will make some."

Zhou Jingwan said with admiration: "Daohua, you are really amazing, there is no one else in this cooking skill."

Daohua: "That's so exaggerated, but it's just practice makes perfect." Her cooking skills are really nothing, the main thing is that the ingredients are good in space.

Zhou Jingwan quickly finished the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand, wiped her mouth, and then pointed to the rest on the table and asked, "Daohua, are these all for me to eat?"

Rice Flower nodded.

Zhou Jingwan looked overjoyed: "Then I won't eat it now. When I leave later, I will pack the rest and take it away. I'll take it back and give it to my mother. She also likes sweets."

Daohua smiled and gave Zhou Jingwan a blank look: "You're welcome."

Zhou Jingwan returned a wink: "Who are we and who are we?"

Seeing this, Daohua couldn't help laughing.

Compared with the little girl who didn't say anything, or hid several meanings in one sentence, waiting for people to guess, Zhou Jingwan's straightforward nature, she really liked it.

"Eat it!" Daohua pushed the dessert on the table to Zhou Jingwan's side, "How can you eat the rest of the food for your aunt."

Wang Man'er smiled and said, "My girl has already prepared another dessert for her to take home, and there are also specially made moon cakes."

Hearing this, Zhou Jingwan's eyes were also bent and her mouth was opened, without being polite at all, she continued to eat happily.

Seeing that she was happy to eat, Daohua also started to eat, eating and eating, thinking of the three brothers who were coming back tomorrow, and asked, "My brother and the others are going home tomorrow, is your brother coming back?"

Zhou Jingwan shook her head: "Don't come back, the newly appointed Governor Guo invited Zhongzhou provincial officials to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my grandfather will also go. On such occasions, my eldest brother, as the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, usually has to accompany him." , suddenly paused, tilted his head and asked, "Is Uncle Yan not going?"

Daohua was stunned for a moment. She also knew a little about the officials in Daxia. She knew that the governor was a high-ranking second-rank official. He was even higher than the governor who was in charge of the civil affairs of a province. People who could be governors were usually emperors. confidant.

"My father is just a person who knows the state from the fifth rank, the Governor-General's banquet. Shouldn't he be able to go?"

Hearing this, Zhou Jingwan nodded: "That's right, I heard from my mother that this time all the officials who went there were high-ranking officials in Zhongzhou Province, so my eldest brother was brought to gain insight, but."

Zhou Jingwan looked at Daohua with some hesitation.

Daohua smiled: "Why, is there anything I can't say here?"

Zhou Jingwan put down the dessert in her hand: "It's not that I can't say it, but I think it's strange. Isn't your family familiar with the little prince? With this relationship, it stands to reason that Uncle Yan should be invited!"

"Our family and the little prince are not very familiar with each other." Daohua explained first, and then asked: "Why do you get invited when you know the little prince?"

Zhou Jingwan: "Governor Guo is the uncle of the little prince! Don't you know this?"

Daohua shook his head.

At this moment, the background of the big family is revealed. Their news is too well-informed, and few things can be concealed from them.

It was the first time she had heard of Governor Guo, and maybe even the cheap dad didn't know.

Seeing that she really didn't know anything, Zhou Jingwan continued: "I heard from my grandfather that when Prince Rui returned to Beijing to resume his life, the little prince would also go back, but then Governor Guo was appointed as the governor, and the little prince would go back with him. Stay in Wangyue Academy to study."

Daohua listened attentively, such high-level news, the Yan family with weak foundations and limited connections had no way of knowing it.

However, Zhou Jingwan didn't know much, and most of them were just some gossip news. Also, even if the big family paid more attention to the cultivation of their children, they would not tell them about big things.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Jingwan left with the return gift prepared by Daohua.

After sending her away, Daohua went to the old lady's yard. After entering the house, she found that the cheap father had left the office ahead of schedule, but her face didn't seem to be very good.

Mrs. Li smiled and asked, "Miss Zhou's gone?"

Rice Flower nodded.

Because Yan Zhigao's face was not good, everyone ate the dinner in silence, and it was over hastily.

On the way back to the main courtyard with Mrs. Li, Daohua couldn't help but ask, "Mother, what happened to my father?"

There was a wry smile on the corner of Mrs. Li's mouth: "After listening to a few gossip, I feel unhappy."

Daohua: "Is it because the Governor-General entertained Zhongzhou officials?"

Mrs. Li looked surprised: "You know?"

Daohua nodded: "Zhou Jingwan told me just now, but what's so unpleasant about this? The Governor has such a high official position, isn't it normal not to invite your father?"

Mrs. Li moved her lips and finally took a long sigh: "This person, you can't have too high expectations. Once it's over, it's easy to have a gap. If there is a gap, you will naturally be unhappy."

Daohua rolled her eyes: "Don't my father think that our family knows Xiao Yeyang, so the Governor should invite him?"

Mrs. Li patted the back of Daohua's hand: "Everyone has some unrealistic expectations, and your father is no exception."

Daohua frowned.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li smiled: "Don't worry, your father is a self-aware person. He just heard a few gossips and felt a little lost. He will adjust it soon."

If the master has a bad mentality and has been suppressed by the county magistrate for so long, he will not be able to survive.

Daohua thought for a while and said, "Mother, there is too much gap between Xiao Yeyang and ours. In my opinion, he has already paid off the life-saving grace."

"So, unless he finds us, we are not qualified to find him. I expect him to continue to help us and take care of us. It's best not to have such thoughts."

For him, the Yan family is not that important.

Mrs. Li smiled and tapped Daohua's forehead: "Mother still can't you understand? Your father also knows it, so after the little prince stayed at our house, he did not punish the people in the prefecture. ."

"In the end, people stand in the world and rely on their own abilities."
