There is Room For the Poor Daughter

main courtyard.

"Second brother, what are you laughing at?"

Mrs. Li looked at Li Xingnian, who had never stopped smiling since she came out of the old lady's yard.

Li Xingnian accepted the smile on his face: "I was thinking, why is that girl Daohua so powerful!" When he thought of his brother-in-law's embarrassed and uncomfortable face just now, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

The concubine used the things at home to make up for her mother's family, and it was fine if she didn't talk about it. She said it, especially in front of his tight uncle's house, but she was a little embarrassed.

Daohua is also able to do it, and she should be more euphemistic, and she will leave a fig leaf for her father.

Hearing this, Mrs. Li was also a little funny, but soon, she sighed again: "I don't know whether this girl's temperament is good or bad."

Li Xingnian's face turned positive: "Of course it's good, Daohua won't be bullied like this. It's all about the concubine, your second uncle, just because he is an elder, put up a profile of an elder, you I haven't even spoken to my brother-in-law yet, and he's just pointing fingers there, which is really annoying."

"It's clear that the three children have done good things for the family, and they have added helpers. When they come to his mouth, it's a disaster. If Daohua didn't distinguish between her and her two brothers, it would be very injustice."

Mrs. Li was also angry with Yan Zhiyuan, and said slightly dissatisfied: "The second brother used to be measured, but since the three Wen Xiu went to Wangyue Academy, he felt unhappy and always asked Daohua for trouble."

"Huh?" Li Xingnian frowned, "You didn't mention much about the academy in your letter. What's going on?"

Mrs. Li told the academy's quota one by one, and then said angrily: "The quota is given by the little prince. What is the matter with Daohua? Why does he blame my Daohua?"

Li Xingnian's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak, he picked up the tea on the table and drank it.

Is it troublesome for the little prince to let Wen Jie from the second room and Wen Bin, a concubine, go to Wangyue Academy to study?

According to him, not really.

If Daohua really wants to ask, she will definitely get it.

I am afraid that his brother-in-law also knows this.

Mrs. Li continued: "Since the three Wen Xiu went to Wangyue Academy, and they often followed the little prince, not to mention, this attitude is really different from before. After returning home, he stood with Wen Jie and Wen Bin. , the difference is immediately apparent.”

"In the past, everyone was about the same, but now, seeing that the three Wen Xiu are getting better and better, but Wen Jie is still standing still, the second brother is naturally unhappy."

Li Xingnian snorted coldly: "A drink and a peck is not a pre-determination, what did his second room do for Daohua, why should Daohua treat Wenjie equally?"

After speaking, he paused, "My brother-in-law can see this very clearly." Daohua didn't ask Daohua for a place for his son-in-law.

Wen Jie didn't go to Chengwangyue Academy, he didn't know if Daohua did it on purpose, but Wenbin didn't go to Chengwang, it was definitely the girl's intention.

It is estimated that my brother-in-law also saw this and did not speak.

Mrs. Li smiled and said nothing.

Li Xingnian looked at Mrs. Li and saw that her complexion was ruddy and her eyebrows were stretched. Unlike when she came to visit her before, there was a touch of melancholy in her eyes, and she knew that she had been very comfortable recently.

"If you are like this, my elder brother and I can be completely at ease."

Mrs. Li smiled: "The children are getting older, and they know that the second brother and the eldest brother are protecting me, so you can worry less about me."

After that, Li Xingnian stayed at Yan's house for a few days, and left after re-buying Zhuangzi and the shop.

When Daohua sold wine recipes and the Li family gave Daohua a shop in three villages, Mrs. Li only talked to Mrs. Yan and Yan Zhigao in private.

"That girl Daohua is still young, you should pay more attention." The old lady instructed.

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "I'm afraid that girl will have to watch you all the time. I can't subdue her. Besides, she only listens to her mother."

The old lady liked to hear this, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about it with a smile.

As for Yan Zhigao, although he was shocked by the generosity of the Li family, he didn't think about participating in anything, and it just passed.

After Li Xingnian left, Yan Wenxiu, Yan Wenkai, and Yan Wentao also went to report to the academy, and Daohua and Yan Yishuang also started their classes. Master Shen returned from their hometown a few days ago.

On the 29th of the first month, Qin Wu brought Qin Xiaoliu and other eight people to Xingzhou.

They didn't dare to let the host's house wait too long, and after resting at home for a night, they set off for the journey.

Looking at the majestic state government office, the group was a little timid.

"Fifth brother, are we going to do things here in the future?" Qin Xiaoliu pointed at the state government and asked.

Qin Wu shook his head: "This is the yamen, and we should be in charge of the backyard. Let's go and take a look around the backstreet."

main courtyard.

Just as Daohua was about to go to class, she heard Ping Tong come in and say that Qin Wu and others were coming, and immediately sat down and didn't leave, and invited Wang Man'er to ask her to take a leave with Master Shen.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Li was not annoyed, she just smiled: "It came quite fast." Then, looking at Pingtong, "Let Butler Sun take the person to the front to show the master first, if the master says yes, Bring people here."

Pingtong immediately turned and left.

After more than half an hour, Ping Tong and Butler Sun brought Qin Wu and others to the main courtyard.

"You wait in the yard, I'll report back to Madam and the eldest girl."

Qin Wu and the others stood silently in the yard with their heads lowered, and did not dare to look around.

Soon, everyone heard the sound of the door curtain being lifted, and then a maid moved out of the table and chairs, and then, Daohua came out with Mrs. Li.

"What did the lord say there?"

Mrs. Li sat down and looked at Steward Sun.

Butler Sun smiled and said, "Master took a test on their martial arts in the front yard and said it was good."

Mrs. Li nodded, looked back at Pingtong, and Pingtong immediately put the eight body deeds on the table.

Seeing this, Daohua on the side suddenly widened her eyes.

Mrs. Li glanced at Daohua, motioned her not to speak, and then looked at Qin Wuba and said, "Your uncle has already told me and your master, and the purpose of our hiring you should be clear to you, right? "

Qin Wu nodded: "Reporting Madam, we all know."

Mrs. Li: "That's good. When you work in our house, you need to sign a body contract, especially since you are also responsible for protecting the safety of Yan's residence, which is even more indispensable." She said, indicating that Pingtong will be ready. The body deed was handed to Qin Wuba.

Qin Wu and others were a little surprised when they heard that they were going to sign the body deed. They hadn't said this before, and they didn't respond when they took the body deed.

Seeing them like this, Mrs. Li smiled: "This is the first time the uncle is hiring someone outside. It is inevitable that he has neglected some places. As for our family, we don't want to force you to sign a body contract. If you don't want to, we will definitely not force it."

"It's just that when you redeemed you from the government office, you have to pay back the thousand taels of silver that you spent."

Qin Wu raised his head to look at Mrs. Li, who was graceful and dignified, with kind brows, and then looked at the rice flowers who looked at them with wide eyes. After a little thought, he said without hesitation, "Madam, let's sign."

Doing things for the official's family, even if it is to sign a body deed, is a great deed for ordinary people like them.

Hearing this, Mrs. Li smiled and motioned to Pingtong to hand over the pen: "Don't worry, we don't want to keep you in the Yan family forever, the contract is only 20 years, and in 20 years, you can go wherever you want. Can."

"Of course, if you think the Yan family is not bad, you can continue to stay in the Yan family."

Hearing this, Qin Wu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Li continued: "Qin Wu, after today, you will be the chief guard of the Yan family. The monthly rate is 10 taels per month, and the others are five taels per month. I hope you can take good care of the safety of the Yan family."

Seeing that Yue Ru was so high, Qin Wu and others were very excited.

Immediately, everyone heard Mrs. Li say: "As for the 1,000 taels of silver to redeem you, I will deduct half of it from your monthly bill to offset it until it is repaid. You have no objection to this, right?"

Qin Wu-eight shook their heads in unison.

Mrs. Li: "That's good, Steward Sun, take Qin escort and the others down to rest."
