There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Early the next morning, Yan Zhiyuan got up with a headache.

"Did I say something I shouldn't have said yesterday?"

Sun shi rolled his eyes at him: "Thank you for remembering, yesterday, you were so majestic, you actually patted the table in front of your mother and elder brother and elder sister-in-law. Wild girl."

"Listen to yourself, is this what you should say? In a word, it's scolding your mother, brother, and sister-in-law."

Yan Yile, who was sitting on the side waiting for breakfast, interjected, "Mother, I think Dad is right. Big sister yells at Dad, she just doesn't have any tutoring."

"Shut up for me, adults are talking, how can your child interrupt." Sun glared at the little daughter. Yesterday, the eldest brother and sister-in-law were all angry.

Now that Wen Jie hasn't grown up yet, their family still has to rely on the support of the elder brother, but they can't have a quarrel with the big room over some trivial matters.

Yan Zhiyuan frowned. He thought more clearly and far-reachingly than Mr. Sun, and immediately said, "My eldest brother probably hasn't gone to the yamen yet, so I'll apologize now."

Seeing that her father left quickly without even thinking about eating, Yan Yile pouted and looked a little dissatisfied: "Mother, why do we have to look at the faces of the eldest uncle and the others? Yesterday, the eldest sister was clearly right. Dad is disrespectful."

Sun shi was silent for a while, looked at the younger daughter who was dissatisfied, and the eldest daughter who was sitting on the side wondering what she was thinking about. After thinking about it, she said.

"Just because your eldest uncle is an official and your father is white, our second room has to be lower than the big room."

"As for your eldest sister. She even dares to contradict your eldest uncle, and is still afraid of your father?"

Yan Yile pouted: "Mother, I know that the reason why the big sister dares to do this is because she is close to the little prince? If the eldest uncle wants to be promoted, he has to rely on the little prince, so he will treat the big sister. so tolerant."

"But, mother, it's different now. In the past, the little prince only played with the big sister, but now, he is willing to play with me and the second sister, and we are not people without support."

Sun shi glanced at her little daughter in surprise, she didn't expect her to think so much at such a young age, and nodded her head with a smile: "Little lord just played with you once, what will happen next time? "

Yan Yile raised her head confidently: "The little prince will definitely still play with us, you don't know, he said a lot to us yesterday, and he always had a smile on his face."

"When we get to know the little prince a little more, I'll ask him to help Dad get an official. The little prince is so powerful, it's not something that can be easily captured."

Hearing this, Sun shi was shocked, but there was hope in his eyes.

Over the years, she has also made friends with many female family members of official families, and has heard them talk about buying an official, but buying an official requires a strong backstage.

Little Wang Ye. Maybe it can really help their family.

On the side, Yan Yihuan couldn't help but said: "Fourth sister, you are delusional. The reason why the little prince chatted with us is because you took the flowers raised by the big sister and went to find him."

This, she could see clearly beside her.

Moreover, the topics discussed between them and the little prince were all about the big sister.

"Also, such a big thing as buying an official is not something we should ask about.

Yan Yile looked disapproving: "Flowers are just a stepping stone. After that, the little prince is willing to chat with us, isn't it because we are interesting to talk and make the little prince happy?"

"As for buying an official, the big sister can let the little prince get the academy place for the big brother and the others. It is not a big deal to give the father an official position."

Yan Yihuan still thought about the theory, but Sun shi spoke.

"Okay, don't argue, no matter what, the two of you just need to remember one thing, that you must have a good relationship with the little prince in the future, and you can't offend the little prince like your big sister."

"Mother, don't worry, we won't be as stupid as Big Sister!"

main courtyard.

Seeing that Yan Zhiyuan came to apologize early in the morning, Yan Zhigao couldn't say anything else.

On Mrs. Li's side, although she was still angry in her heart, it was not easy to pursue further investigations in the eyes of the old lady and her master.

So, under everyone's conscious or unintentional neglect, what happened on the day of Laba Festival just passed.

Two days later, Zhou Jingwan brought a box of silk flowers to Daohua.

"Nicely done!"

Daohua happily looked at the silk flowers in the box, and took a plum blossom for Wang Man'er to put on her head, then looked at Zhou Jingwan: "Does it look good?"

"You look good, you look good in anything you wear!"

Zhou Jingwan was very happy when she saw that Daohua liked the things she gave: "I tell you, this is the most fashionable silk flower in the capital, and my second uncle brought it back to me specially, saying it was a fun time to go out during the New Year. ."

Daohua was surprised: "Your second uncle is back?"

Zhou Jingwan shook her head: "He's busy, how could he come back at this time, it was the servants in the house who came back with the New Year's gift and brought it to me by the way."

Daohua: "Your second uncle's New Year's gift is really early. There are still twenty days before the New Year."

Zhou Jingwan shook her head: "It's getting late, in our family, since my grandfather came back, it was my second uncle who delivered the New Year's gift first, and my mother was preparing to return the gift. Send it back early, lest our return gift can't be delivered before the New Year. delivered."

Daohua's expression changed: "Have you given your family's New Year's gift?"

Zhou Jingwan: "Not yet, my second uncle's only arrived yesterday, my mother still has to check and check it, not so fast."

Daohua: "Is your family's New Year's gift going by water? Then, can our family give you a New Year's gift with you?"

After entering December, Mrs. Li began to prepare for the New Year's ceremony.

Among them, what she heard the most was giving New Year's gifts to the fourth aunt.

The fourth aunt is in the capital, and the distance is relatively far, so she has to find a way in advance and send someone to send it.

She knew that her grandmother had been thinking about her distantly married daughter all these years, so she had been thinking about this matter all the time.

Zhou Jingwan looked surprised: "Do you also have relatives and friends in the capital?"

Daohua nodded: "Well, my aunt."

Zhou Jingwan said immediately: "I have to go back and ask my mother first, and then give you a reply immediately."

Daohua replied with a smile.

That day, not long after Zhou Jingwan returned, she sent someone to tell Daohua that her mother agreed.

When the Zhou family gave New Year gifts, they all used their own boats to take along with the Yan family, but it was a matter of a small effort.

After getting the exact news, Daohua immediately ran to find the old lady and Mrs. Li.

Hearing that the New Year's gift could be sent to Beijing with the Zhou family, Mrs. Li was also very happy: "Then the relationship is good, I don't have to go to other ships specially."

Daohua sat beside the somewhat silent grandmother: "Grandmother, this year my father was promoted to the prefecture, we have to prepare a New Year's gift for the fourth aunt."

Thinking of her daughter whom she hadn't seen for many years, Mrs. Yan's eyes were a little wet: "Good boy, it's hard for you to still think of your fourth aunt."

Daohua smiled: "Of course I think about it, I not only miss my fourth aunt, but also my cousin and cousin. Oh, I haven't given them a present yet, grandma, you have to help me choose well, so as not to I lost face in front of my cousin and cousin."

Hearing this, Mrs. Yan had some smiles on her face: "Okay, my grandmother will help you to check and make sure you don't lose face as a girl."

Daohua: "Since it's a waterway, I think it will take a few days to get to the capital. The vegetables you planted in the conservatory are already ripe. We will also send some to the fourth aunt, so that she can also be far away in the capital. Eat the vegetables grown by your mother."

Old Madam Yan choked up a little and nodded with red eyes.

After her daughter got married, she never ate the food she cooked or cooked.

Although I can't cook her a meal myself now, it's good to let her eat the vegetables she grows.

"Also, there are still several jars of wine I brewed, and I also sent two jars to the fourth aunt. Whether it's drinking it by myself or giving it to others, it will save face."

"And wine and potted plants."

"Grandmother, what kind of flowers the fourth aunt likes, only you know, you have to choose."

"."

On the side, Mrs. Li felt relieved when she saw the grandparents and grandchildren discussing the New Year's ceremony with such enthusiasm.

Over the years, because of the deliberate alienation of the Yang family, the old man's official position has not been promoted, and they did not dare to mention the little sister-in-law in front of the old lady.

Well now, this year the master has been promoted, and the family has made some money from selling watermelons, so he can also prepare a rich New Year's gift for his sister-in-law.

Thinking about it, the Yang family didn't dare to treat the sister-in-law lightly.
