There is Room For the Poor Daughter

"Grandma, mother, I'm back!"

If you haven't seen him, hear his voice first.

Hearing this cheerful and energetic voice, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li, who were sitting together discussing Yan Wenxiu's marriage, instantly showed smiles on their faces, and they all looked towards the door.

The three sisters Sun, Wu, and Yan Yihuan in the room also looked over.

The door curtain was lifted, and Dao Hua in a blue cape walked in smilingly, followed by the three Yan Wenxiu brothers.

Mrs. Li quickly stood up: "You guys, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back?"

Daohua smiled and stepped forward to hold Mrs. Li's arm: "Look at what Mother said, do I need to pass the news first when my brothers and I go back to our own house?"

Mrs. Li nodded Daohua's forehead: "Is that what Mother meant? Mother said, so I can send someone to pick you up at the pier in advance."

Daohua said with a smile: "Isn't there a big brother and the others, why bother to go to the house again?"

Mrs. Li glanced at Daohua with a smile, and pushed her towards Mrs. Yan: "Don't hurry up and say hello to your grandmother, the old lady has been talking about you a lot these days."

Daohua let go of Mrs. Li, walked towards the old lady Yan who was sitting on the steps, blessed her, and then saluted Sun and Wu before sitting directly next to the old lady: "Grandmother, Daohua I miss you so much."

The corners of Mrs. Yan's mouth couldn't be restrained rising: "Miss me? I think you've gone crazy in the provincial capital!"

Daohua took the old lady's arm, leaned on the old lady's shoulder, and said with a smile: "No, I miss my grandmother every day, but it's my grandmother, do you miss me?"

Mrs. Yan hummed: "The old lady is busy, how can I miss you girl."

Hearing this, Daohua sighed: "Hey, I know that my grandmother has begun to dislike me."

Old Madam Yan squinted at her wicked granddaughter, and slapped her forehead angrily: "I don't think I will despise you!"

Below, the three Yan Yihuan coaxed their grandmother into a smile as soon as the eldest sister came back, and couldn't help lowering their eyes.

During the time when the eldest sister was away, they would come to accompany their grandmother every day. Although the grandmother was kind to them, she was far less close to the eldest sister.

At this time, the three of Yan Wenxiu came forward to salute.

Mrs. Yan let the three sit down with a smile, and then began to ask a few people about their time in the provincial capital.

A few people joked and laughed for a while, and Mr. Sun interjected: "It's just in time for you guys to come back. Just now we were talking about going to Wen Xiu."

Daohua looked stunned for a moment, looked at the eldest brother who was uncomfortable, and then looked at Mrs. Li: "Mother, have you kissed the eldest brother?"

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "It's just that I have this intention." She looked at the eldest son with a face of relief and pride.

It was really the right thing to let the eldest son follow the master into Beijing this time, but when he and the second master of the Zhou family went out to meet a guest once, he was instantly attracted by the uncle Han of the Earl Zhaode's house.

Mrs. Yan smiled and looked at her eldest grandson: "In a blink of an eye, Wen Xiu is eighteen, and it's time to say kiss."

Daohua hurriedly asked, "Whose lady?"

Mrs. Li: "It's all said, but it's just an intention, and the eight characters haven't been written yet."

Seeing that Mrs. Li didn't want to say more, Daohua didn't ask more, but her eyes fell on her eldest brother.

The other little ones did the same, snickering at Yan Wenxiu.

Although Yan Wenxiu felt that his face was thick enough, he could see that his younger brothers and sisters were staring at him, and he was still a little uncomfortable. He had to get up and said, "Grandma, mother, second aunt, third aunt, I'm going to clean up the yard."

Seeing that her son was embarrassed, Mrs. Li kindly let him go, and Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao also followed.

Mrs. Yan looked at Daohua: "Okay, you can also go and clean up your yard, and come over and talk at night."

Immediately, Mrs. Li took Daohua to the main courtyard.

The backyard of the government office was more than double the size of the backyard of the state office. It took a quarter of an hour to walk from the old lady's Songhe Courtyard to the main courtyard.

"Why is this backyard so big? Isn't it overstepping the rules?" Daohua looked surprised.

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "It's not overstepping the rules. The area under the jurisdiction of Ningmen House is relatively large. Accordingly, the House is naturally larger than other houses."

Daohua nodded: "Mother, where do I live?"

Ping Tong took over with a smile: "The eldest girl naturally lives in the most exquisite yard in the backyard."

The most splendid main courtyard is the residence of the lady and the master; the most comfortable courtyard is given to the old lady.

Because there are enough yards, several girls and young masters all got a yard alone. It's just that the uncle and the eldest girl are bigger and better positioned.

The only people in the family who share the same yard are Aunt Liu and Aunt Lin.

Soon, the mother and daughter came to the main courtyard.

"What are these things?"

Looking at the many objects placed in the yard, Mrs. Li was a little surprised.

Daohua explained: "Some are gifts prepared by aunts and uncles, and some are gifts for our family's relocation given by Xiao Yeyang."

Mrs. Li first looked at the gifts prepared by the Li family, smiled and asked Pingtong to move it to the warehouse, and then began to look at Xiao Yeyang's gifts.

When I saw the full-length mirror and dressing table inlaid with carved red sandalwood, my complexion suddenly changed: "This is too precious!"

"Mother, don't worry about it!"

Yan Wenxiu and Yan Wenkai walked in with a smile.

Seeing her two sons, Mrs. Li looked overjoyed: "Is the yard cleaned up?"

Yan Wenxiu smiled and said, "Mother has everything ready, we don't have anything to clean up."

Yan Wenkai followed suit and said, "Mother has worked hard."

The smile on Mrs. Li's face grew more and more: "What's the hard work, I will clean up the yard for you, my mother is happy." After speaking, she turned her eyes to the full-length mirror and dresser.

Now that the eldest son said that he can keep it at ease, she no longer has to worry about it, and directly invited the rough woman: "Move this full-length mirror and dressing table to the big girl's courtyard."

Daohua hurriedly stopped: "Mother, it's enough for me to have a dressing table. The mirror inlaid on it is big enough. You can keep the full-length mirror."

Mrs. Li glanced at Daohua: "It's good if you have a bronze mirror, you don't need a full-length mirror."

Daohua shook her head: "How can there be a full-length mirror in the bronze mirror, and my mother is going out as a guest, and she has to receive visiting female relatives from time to time, so she must be well-dressed."

"Yeah, mother, this is a piece of filial piety from my sister, you can keep it." Yan Wenxiu interjected at the right time.

Yan Wenkai also nodded: "That's right, one piece per person, just right."

Seeing that all three of her children said this, Mrs. Li responded with a smile on her face: "Okay, my mother accepts your wishes."

"What material is this? It's so pretty!"

Ping Xiao opened a box, which contained five pieces of material different from other silk and satin.

Mrs. Li took a deep breath: "This is Kesi!"

The fan that the emperor gave was made of kesi, so she recognized the material.

Mrs. Li picked up a lotus-colored lotus kesi with a hesitant and embarrassed expression on her face: "Little Wangye's relocation ceremony is really too precious." As she spoke, she looked at her daughter again.

"And the house last time, you said it was only three or four thousand taels of silver, but when your father went to the capital to inquire about it, it would cost at least twenty or thirty thousand to buy it."

Daohua's eyes suddenly widened: "So expensive?!"

Yan Wenxiu took over: "The price of the capital is naturally higher than elsewhere, and the house is next to the inner city, and the location is very good."

Daohua was stunned for a moment, then patted her chest: "It's okay, I gave him the Liuli recipe. As long as he can find someone to make Liuli, we don't owe him anything."

owe?

Hearing this word, Yan Wenxiu raised his eyes to look at his sister, and saw that she was worried that he owed the little prince's favor, and his heart was suddenly relieved.

The little prince was obviously too attentive to his sister, and he was really worried that the two would develop some kind of relationship.

The status of the little prince is too precious, and their family can't afford it.

Now that he saw that his sister didn't mean that to the little prince, he was a little relieved.

"What Liuli Fangzi?" Mrs. Li keenly captured the key point of her daughter's words.

Yan Wenkai replied first: "It's the recipe for making Liuli that my sister saw in the book."

Mrs. Li looked suspicious: "Isn't that recipe fake?"

How expensive are the glazed utensils, who will write the recipes in the book.

Of course, Daohua didn't dare to talk too much, and said with a vague smile: "It doesn't matter if he is real or not, let Xiao Yeyang test it out, it's real, it's not his benefit."

Mrs. Li was speechless.

Yan Wenkai also curled his lips and said, "Big sister, you're not being kind. I saw you say it so firmly before. I thought Liuli was really good at it. Are you perfunctory for the little prince?"

Daohua immediately retorted: "How can I be perfunctory, everything in this world has to go through repeated tests."

Yan Wenkai: "What if the little prince didn't test it out?"

Daohua was silent: "That's because the production master he's looking for can't work, so let's try it out."

Mrs. Li smiled to stop the two children from arguing, and looked at the five pieces of Kesi in the box, three of which were only for little girls, and the other two were darker in color.

"These pink, sky blue, and tender green ones will be taken to the eldest girl's yard, and the golden brown ones will be used to make clothes for the old lady. I will keep this royal blue one."

After distributing the things, Mrs. Li took her three children into the house.
