There is Room For the Poor Daughter

"Miss Zhou is here!"

Seeing Zhou Jingwan, the maid in Daohuaxuan immediately stepped forward to greet her with a smile.

Zhou Jingwan nodded: "Where's your girl?"

Li Xia smiled and said, "The girl is still crooked on the bed!"

Zhou Jingwan shook her head: "This lazy girl, watch me make a fuss about her." After speaking, she stepped into the door and walked straight towards the bedroom.

Seeing Daohua leaning against the head of the bed with the ermine demon, and lazily flipping through the book, Zhou Jingwan smiled suddenly: "Since Li's sister left, you have become more and more lazy. It's almost noon, Don't get up yet."

When Daohua saw it, she didn't sit up. She just put down the script in her hand, patted the edge of the bed, and motioned Zhou Jingwan to sit over there. Then she smiled and said, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, why do you still have time to run to my house?"

Zhou Jingwan's face turned pale: "Why, do you dislike me?"

Daohua picked up the book and covered her mouth with a smile: "Miss Zhou is here, and the small courtyard is full of brilliance."

After hearing this, Zhou Jingwan smiled, then took off her boots and sat on the bed.

Seeing this, Daohua hammered her, then quickly moved into the bed, and said as she moved, "You just came in from outside and you are still cold, so you can't get into my quilt."

Zhou Jingwan rolled her eyes at her: "Who is going to get into your bed!" After speaking, she also leaned against the pillow like Daohua.

Daohua asked someone to bring a blanket over and put it on Zhou Jingwan, and then went on again: "My father went to your house again?"

Zhou Jingwan nodded.

Daohua: "I've troubled Grandpa Zhou during this time."

As for this visit to Beijing to report his work, Daddy Cheyen attaches great importance to it. In recent days, whenever he has time, he will visit Mrs. Zhou at Zhou's house and listen to him explain the relationship between the families in the capital and the emperor's taboos.

After three years of getting along, now the Yan family and the Zhou family can be regarded as a good family.

Therefore, Grandpa Zhou did not hide his secrets, and carefully analyzed the strong relationship with Yan Zhigao in the capital.

Zhou Jingwan said casually, "Isn't that what we should be friends with?"

Daohua smiled: "I made a medicinal meal for my grandmother. When you go back later, you can bring some to Grandpa Zhou."

Zhou Jingwan nodded: "Okay, my grandfather likes to eat what you make." After speaking, she turned over and faced Daohua, "I heard from my mother, this time Uncle Yan will definitely be promoted, no matter if he is in Beijing. , or transfer to another place, we will be separated in the future."

Seeing Zhou Jingwan's disappointment, Daohua took her hand: "Don't be like this, we can communicate frequently in the future. If my father's transfer place is not far from Xingzhou, we can still hang out from time to time."

Zhou Jingwan sighed: "But, it's not as convenient as it is now."

Daohua nodded: "Yes!"

After being silent for a while, Zhou Jingwan suddenly said, "My brother's marriage has been decided. My mother said that when my brother's affairs are over, it will be my turn, Daohua. There will not be many opportunities for us to meet in the future."

Hearing this, Daohua also sighed: "I really don't want to grow up."

Zhou Jingwan looked melancholy: "Isn't it?"

On the same day, Zhou Jingwan had lunch at Yan's house and returned home after playing until the afternoon.

After sending Zhou Jingwan away, Daohua had just returned to her yard when she saw Wang Man'er, Gu Yu, and Li Xia talking: "Why are you talking so vigorously?"

Wang Man'er saw Daohua, and immediately opened the door curtain. After she entered the room, she followed her in, and said as she walked, "Just now, the master came back from the outside, and was blocked by the fifth master and the third girl."

Daohua raised her eyebrows: "Are they going to plead for Aunt Lin?"

Wang Man'er poured a cup of tea for Daohua and said with a smile, "I really can't hide anything from the girl."

Daohua picked up the teacup: "What did father say?"

Wang Man'er: "Master said that the fifth master and the third girl are filial piety and allow them to go to Shuangxinyuan to accompany Aunt Lin for dinner during the Chinese New Year."

Daohua: "Didn't you lift the ban for Concubine Lin?"

Wang Man'er smiled and shook his head: "No."

Daohua smiled, blew the tea foam in the tea cup, and took a slow sip: "I hope my father can stay sober all the time."

In the Spring Festival of the 19th year of Yongxing, because Yan Zhigao was preparing to go to Beijing to report his work, there were too many things to do, so the Yan family was not too lively.

Worrying about delays on the road, Yan Zhigao left with Yan Wenxiu, Master Xiao, and Qin Wu after the third day of junior high.

As soon as they left, the Yan family was a little deserted.

Daohua was having a good time. Maybe it was because they were going to be separated. Zhou Jingwan came to play with her almost every day. The two either stayed in the yard and talked about running the shop, or they went out to walk the horses together. comfortable.

Yan Zhigao and his party arrived in Beijing the day before the Lantern Festival.

As soon as they arrived at the city gate, the servants of the Yan family who had been waiting here for a long time greeted them, with the servants of the Yang family beside them.

Yan Zhigao glanced at the servants of the Yang family with a cold expression.

When his luck was bad, the Yang family's behavior was too ugly. If it wasn't for the thought that his sister was the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, he really didn't want to communicate with such relatives at all.

"We've been on the road for more than ten days. We have to go home to wash up and make some repairs. Let's visit at the door another day."

The servants of the Yang family immediately bent down.

For the eldest brother of the Fourth Madam, the Yang family will not rush to Canada, even if the eldest of his family is still above him.

Before going out, the eldest master specially explained that he should serve carefully and not offend anyone.

"Lead the way!"

Yan Zhigao said to his servant, and then got back into the carriage.

Everyone in the Yan family thought that the house was relatively remote. When they stood in front of the gate of the house, they realized that the house was only a few blocks away from the palace.

Yan Zhigao was silent for a while before turning to look at Yan Wenxiu: "Your sister said, how much money does this house cost?"

Yan Wenxiu smiled bitterly: "Two thousand taels!"

Yan Zhigao suddenly didn't know what to say: "After you go back, ask your mother to make up the money for the little prince."

Yan Wenxiu shook his head: "The little prince will not accept it." Seeing Yan Zhigao frowning, he said with a smile, "The relationship between our family and the little prince is not for this day or two, and it's just a matter of returning it slowly in the future."

Yan Zhigao nodded, seeing someone looking at him nearby, without saying much, he led someone into the door.

The house steward led the way and introduced the surrounding situation with a smile: "Most of the surrounding houses are similar, and the residents are the upstarts in recent years."

Yan Wenxiu sighed inwardly while listening.

The little prince's gift from this house was so sweet, and it was in line with their current identities, so it wouldn't be too eye-catching.

Yang House.

Seeing that Yan Zhigao didn't come, Mrs. Yang looked a little unsightly, and glanced at the little daughter-in-law who lowered her head and said nothing: "Your brother, this is a separation from our family, and when you come to the capital, you don't want to live in our house. ."

Yan Siyu thought to herself, how did the Yang family treat her mother's family all these years? Does the old lady have any points in her heart?

Seeing that the fourth siblings didn't speak, Mrs. Yang had to laugh at her husband's previous instructions to make good friends with the Yan family, "Mother, the Yan family has a house in the capital, so I'm embarrassed to bother us."

"I know that you are always in a hurry to see your in-laws. This person has already entered Beijing, and you are not in a hurry for one or two days."

Madam Yang's expression improved, and she asked, "Where is the Yan family's house?"

Yan Siyu replied, "Dongjiao Street."

Hearing this, everyone in the room was shocked.

Dongjiao Street, which is next to the inner city, is much closer to the palace than their home.

After a long silence, Mrs. Yang looked at Yang Siyu: "Where did your parents buy a house?"

The closer you are to the inner city, the more expensive the house is, and it is also very difficult to buy. There is no way out.

Yan Siyu was also surprised when she knew the location of the house, and said, "My daughter-in-law hasn't had much contact with the family these years, so I don't know."

After hearing this, Mrs. Yang and the other three daughters-in-law of the Yang family didn't ask any more questions.

Over the years, their family has really neglected to communicate with the Yan family.
