There is Room For the Poor Daughter

The Zhou family's boat took the Grand Canal, and the journey was relatively fast. In less than ten days, the Yan family's New Year's ceremony entered the capital.

Yang House.

Mrs. Yang had just returned from a banquet with her family and was gathering in the room to talk.

Near the end of the year, there are more banquets in each family. Although the eldest man in the family is only a fourth-rank official, he has received a lot of posts.

"Grandmother, Miss Yuan's hood looks really good, and they want one too."

"Grandma, I want too."

The daughters of the Yang family's eldest, second, and third rooms are sitting around the old lady at the moment, acting coquettishly to curry favor, and by the way, try to get some benefits for themselves.

The eldest lady of the Yang family, the second lady, and the third lady just smiled and watched without stopping.

Mrs. Yang didn't really want to agree, but she, who has always been strong, thought that the dresses and jewelry of the young ladies at the banquet were much better than her own. In addition, several granddaughters were cute and cute, so she agreed as soon as she gritted her teeth.

"Okay, grandma will buy it for you, one set per person."

Below, the fourth lady Yan Siyu felt sad when she saw that the old lady did not mention her daughter Xiuyun.

She is a daughter-in-law and is not welcomed by her mother-in-law, she understands, but her daughter is also the granddaughter of the old lady, why is the old lady so partial?

"mother!"

Yang Xiuyun felt that her mother was in a wrong mood, and immediately reached out and shook her hand.

She has long been used to her grandmother's partiality and disregard over the years. She would be surprised if her grandmother suddenly treated her well one day.

Yan Siyu smiled bitterly and shook her daughter's hand back.

It's all her fault for being a mother. If she could be tougher, she wouldn't let her daughter suffer with her.

Fortunately, her son Hong Rui is a good student, and his uncle values ​​her. Otherwise, she would really have no place to stand in the Yang family.

"old lady!"

Suddenly, the old lady in charge next to Mrs. Yang came in, glanced at the fourth lady, then quickly walked over to the old lady and whispered a few words in her ear.

After listening to her mother-in-law's words, Mrs. Yang raised her eyes to look at her little daughter-in-law, with a bit of surprise on her face: "Fourth daughter-in-law, is your Yan family related to the Zhou family?"

Yan Siyu didn't expect her mother-in-law to ask herself, and was stunned: "Zhou's family? Which Zhou's family?"

Mrs. Yang: "Officer of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhou's family."

As soon as these words came out, not only Yan Siyu was stunned, but also the three ladies of the Yang family were stunned.

The Zhou family, the servant of the Ministry of Personnel, is one of the most powerful and powerful families in the capital, and is highly regarded by the emperor.

The Yang family is the highest rank one or four, and if they want to make friends with the Zhou family, they don't even have the chance.

Madam Yang family: "Mother, you are right, how could the family of the fourth siblings know the Zhou family?"

The old lady Yang ignored the eldest lady, and frowned when she saw the young daughter-in-law with a blank face, and confirmed to the old woman beside her, "Are you sure it's the Zhou family?"

The steward nodded: "Yes, the old slave has asked several times, it is the former first assistant Zhou's family."

Mrs. Yang's heart trembled, the younger daughter-in-law's eldest brother was indeed an official in Zhou Shoufu's hometown of Zhongzhou Province. Could it be that the Yan family came to run and climbed up the Zhou family?

The shock returned to shock, and Mrs. Yang recovered quickly and looked at her young daughter-in-law: "Fourth daughter-in-law, the Yan family's New Year's ceremony is here."

Yan Siyu immediately stood up happily.

If the younger daughter-in-law is not calm, Mrs. Yang will definitely scold, but this time, she didn't say anything: "It was said that they came on the Zhou family's boat, and the Yan family also came this time. Man, go see me."

"Yes!"

Yan Siyu was a little excited. She didn't expect that her family would send someone over this time. She saluted the old lady, and hurriedly pulled her daughter and left.

Seeing that they couldn't wait, both the second lady and the third lady sneered.

"It's just a little New Year's Eve, look how happy my younger brother and sister are."

"Second sister-in-law, the fourth brother and sister don't have much dowry, so naturally they value the New Year's ceremony."

Mrs. Yang glanced at the two of them and said nothing.

Backyard hanging flower gate.

Mrs. Fang, who was sent by Mrs. Li to give the New Year's gift, was pulling the Yang family's servants to inquire about Yan Siyu's situation in the Yang family.

When she learned that there were several concubines in Yang Boyi's room, and several sons were born, Mrs. Fang was instantly furious.

At this time, Yan Siyu brought Yang Xiuyun over.

"The slave and maid greet the fourth girl, the fourth girl is well!"

Madam Fang immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Get up." Yan Siyu hurriedly stepped forward, helped Mrs. Fang up in person, and then looked at Mrs. Fang, "Are you. Sun Ma's daughter-in-law, Sister Fang?"

Sun Bo and Sun's mother's family sold themselves to the Yan family when Yan Siyu was very young. Their sons got married, and she was not married yet, so she had seen Fang.

"It's me, Four Girls!" Fang Shi was also excited. Since the Yang family moved to the capital, they have not seen Yan Siyu for six or seven years.

Thinking of her relatives in the distance, Yan Siyu looked a little choked up: "Is the family okay, and how is your mother?"

Fang Shi immediately smiled and said, "Okay, last year, the master took the old lady to take care of her. The family is together, and the old lady is not unhappy."

"This year, the master was promoted to Xingzhou Zhizhou again, and the uncle, third master, and fourth master went to Wangyue Academy to study again, and the old lady felt even more happy."

"Now, every day with the eldest girl, raising flowers, playing boxing, and living in Zhuangzi for a few days, not to mention how beautiful my life is."

"It's just that the old lady has the girl in her heart. She always says that if the girl is by her side, the family will be reunited."

Yan Siyu was stunned by the information from Mrs. Fang. After a while, she asked excitedly, "What did you say? Big brother was promoted to the prefecture?"

Seeing Yan Siyu like this, Mrs. Fang was stunned: "Don't you know the fourth girl? The letter of good news to you was written by the lady herself in front of the old lady. Didn't you receive it?"

Hearing this, Yan Siyu couldn't help crying.

Yang Xiujun didn't understand why her mother cried when she was so happy, but she immediately stepped forward to comfort her: "Mother, many people are watching. If you let your grandmother know, she doesn't know how sad she will be."

Yan Siyu sobbed a few times, wiped away the tears on her face, and looked at Mrs. Fang embarrassedly: "Sister laughed, I'm just too happy."

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Fang only felt that her heart was blocked and uncomfortable.

Although Madam had guessed that the Fourth Young Lady had a difficult time in the Yang family, she did not expect it to be so difficult that she could not even receive a letter from the family.

Mrs. Fang forced a smile: "Fourth girls, this time, because it's cheap to take the Zhou family's boat, the old lady asked me to bring a lot of things."

"There are all kinds of vegetables she grows herself, potted plants she raises, and fruit wine she makes. Anyway, she thinks it's good, so she brought you a copy, and she said she wants to let you taste it."

Hearing this, Yan Siyu couldn't help shedding tears.

Yang Xiujun hurriedly comforted.

"Is this Miss Biao?" Mrs. Fang looked at Yang Xiujun with a smile, "This appearance follows the four girls, and she is really beautiful."

Yan Siyu wiped her tears and said, "Sister Fang, please stop praising this girl. Carefully, her tail is up."

Seeing more and more people around, Yang Xiujun smiled and said, "Mother, let's go back to the house and talk about it."

Yan Siyu nodded repeatedly.

In the past, when her mother's family gave New Year's gifts, no one came, only letters from the family.

Madam Fang had nothing to do, she was two and a half steps behind her mother and daughter, and she said as she walked, "This time, besides the old lady, the eldest girl also has something to give to Young Master Biao and Miss Biao."

Yan Siyu paused and said, "You're talking about the eldest brother's eldest daughter, right?"

Mrs. Fang nodded: "That's right, Fourth Girl, you don't often stay at home. I don't know that the eldest girl in our family is really a pistachio. The old lady is happy every day when she is with her."

Yang Xiujun listened silently, listening to the daily life of her grandmother and cousin, her face couldn't help showing a hint of envy and yearning.

How great would it be if her grandmother did the same?
