There is Room For the Poor Daughter

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the days returned to the same as before. Daohua should take classes and practice the whip. Every day is as busy and full as ever.

In a blink of an eye, it was September.

After entering September, the weather is not so hot, and the exchanges between various families have begun to increase. Mrs. Li has received a lot of posts, all of which are invited as guests to enjoy flowers and tea.

For these, Daohua is not very interested, and she has nothing to say with a group of little girls who have been influenced by three and four virtues since childhood.

Like Zhou Jingwan, it was because she was favored at home that she was not too severely bound by the rules and etiquette, and could still joke and play around together.

If she were to meet other young ladies, if she laughed a little louder, made a fuss, and behaved a little differently, she would be really afraid of scaring people.

"Yesterday, the Wang family held a chrysanthemum banquet, why didn't you go?"

The day before the Double Ninth Festival, Zhou Jingwan came over to look for Daohua, saw her standing under the porch and teasing parrots, and smiled and leaned over.

"Miss Zhou is here!"

Seeing Zhou Jingwan, the parrot immediately said something.

Zhou Jingwan smiled: "Yo, this little thing finally remembered me."

Daohua said with a smile: "You run here every three days, it won't even remember it!"

The parrot has been raised here for a period of time, and has been able to recognize the frequent visitors.

Putting the nuts in her hand on the food tray, Daohua took Zhou Jingwan into the house and said as she walked, "I can't talk to those girls."

Zhou Jingwan: "You didn't go. Yesterday, the little sister who was born in your family made a lot of limelight."

Daohua became interested: "Oh? How did she get the limelight?"

Zhou Jingwan: "It's not yet a girl from the Wang family. She proposed to write a poem on chrysanthemums, and she also took the poems of the girls to comment on the ladies of each family. In the end, your concubine sister won the first name."

Daohua smiled and didn't pay much attention: "The third sister is indeed quite talented in poetry."

Zhou Jingwan took a careful look at Daohua, saw that there was no dissatisfaction on her face, and shook her head: "You are really big, aren't you afraid that your concubine will increase your limelight?"

Daohua: "What do I have to grab the limelight? As I said, the feet are short, and the inches are strong. The third sister has what she is good at, and I also have what I am good at. Each of them shines in their own areas of expertise. There's nothing wrong with it."

Zhou Jingwan sighed: "Hey, I'm not as generous as you. If my concubine sister in my family is stronger than me, I will be unhappy."

Daohua smiled, she liked Zhou Jingwan's character, what she said, her likes and dislikes were completely revealed, so she didn't need to guess her mind.

"You, you haven't found what you like to do, so you care so much about these irrelevant people and things. If you are too busy every day, where will you have time to pay attention to your sisters and sisters? ?"

Zhou Jingwan dragged her cheeks and looked at Daohua: "Then do you know what you like to do?"

Daohua nodded and smiled and said, "Of course I know. I like to save money to buy Zhuangzi and open shops. I want to grow all kinds of grains, vegetables, melons and fruits in Zhuangzi, and I can eat whatever I want."

"The rest can also be sold in the shop by the way. First, you can earn money, and second, you can share the food that I think is delicious with others."

"By the way, do you still remember sunflower seeds? I have already started selling them in my shop. At first, not many people knew about them, so I asked the guys to go to the tea house and theater to sell them. Now the business is getting better."

"I have to attend classes again every day, and I have to take care of Zhuangzi's shop, and I have to find time to practice needlework, and I have to get up early in the morning to practice whipping. How can I pay attention to Shumei."

Zhou Jingwan was amazed: "You do so many things every day?"

Rice Flower nodded.

Zhou Jingwan: "I heard Aunt Yan say at other banquets several times that you can't come at home if you have something to do. I just thought she was looking for a reason to shirk you. I didn't realize that you are really so busy."

Daohua said seriously: "People, only when you are busy will you feel fulfilled. Otherwise, you have to be like you, thinking about nothing."

"I have time to fight with my concubine to be jealous. It's better to take care of the shop and make more money."

Zhou Jingwan exclaimed, "Why do you like saving money so much?"

Daohua asked back, "You don't like it?"

Zhou Jingwan was silent for a while: "I can't say whether I like it or not, anyway, I have to pay my mother to get it."

Daohua tapped her on the head: "As soon as I heard what you said, I knew that you have never suffered from lack of money."

"Let me tell you this, money is only interesting if you spend what you earn. Your parents will always be yours, they can only get it if you give it to you. If you don't give it, you will have no money to spend. Besides, every time you ask When they ask for money, do they have to explain the reason?"

Zhou Jingwan nodded: "Indeed, every time I want to buy jewelry or something, my mother will give me money, but it takes a long time to grind."

Daohua: "Yeah, it's inconvenient to spend other people's money, even if it's your parents' money. It's better to have it yourself. You can spend it how you want, and you're comfortable and confident."

Zhou Jingwan nodded while listening, "I think what you said is quite reasonable. After I go back, I will also think about it carefully to see if I can open a shop or something like you, so that I won't have any money to spend in the future."

Daohua smiled: "Okay, you are going to open a shop, and we can also exchange business experience with each other."

Later, Zhou Jingwan told Daohua some interesting things at other banquets.

Not long after, Ping Xiao walked in with a letter and said, "Miss, this is the letter from the fourth master to you."

Daohua was surprised: "Fourth brother wrote me a letter?" Big brother Yan Wenxiu was always in charge of the correspondence between the academy and the family.

Ping Xiao smiled and said, "The uncle's Mrs. Xin is watching. This is what the fourth master said to you. You can see that the envelope still has your name written on it."

Daohua took the letter, looked at the words 'Yan Yi's personal opening' written on it, and smiled: "The fourth brother must be greedy. He wants to get me something to eat." After speaking, she quickly opened the letter and read it. .

After a while, Daohua stood up and said happily to Zhou Jingwan: "Jingwan, my fourth brother said that tomorrow they are going to the horse farm in Wuhuashan, and asked if we should go?"

"Really?!" Zhou Jingwan also stood up excitedly, stretching her neck excitedly to read the letter in Daohua's hand.

It's just a common letter, there is nothing invisible, Daohua directly handed the letter to Zhou Jingwan: "Your brother's letter should have arrived at your house by now."

After Zhou Jingwan read the letter, she returned the letter to Daohua, then pulled her and said excitedly, "Are you going?"

Daohua: "Nonsense, of course I'm going, going out to enjoy the wind and riding a horse is much more interesting than going to the back house to enjoy flowers and drink tea. Why, you don't go?"

"Go, go, definitely go!" Zhou Jingwan nodded her head straight, "I tell you, every time I see my brother riding a horse, I get envious. That's great, we can ride tomorrow too."
