There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Yan Zhigao and Yan Wenxiu left behind the eunuchs to announce the decree, while the others returned to Songheyuan with Madam Yan and Madam Li.

After entering the house, Madam Yan's tense mood relaxed. Although this was the second time their family received the imperial decree, she, a country old lady, could not stop being nervous.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, hurry up, let me take a look at your official order. I didn't look at it carefully just now."

Mrs. Li quickly took the official suit from Ping Tong and handed it to the old lady in person.

Mrs. Yan touched the official dress cautiously, her face and eyes were full of smiles: "I didn't expect the old lady to be given the official life on this day, good, good!"

Mrs. Li was also very happy, and said, "Daughter-in-law didn't expect it."

Over the years, because of her background as a businessman, she has always been lacking in confidence. Even though her husband is now the head of the family, every time she attends various banquets, she will suffer more or less slack and scorn.

Now that it's alright, the emperor personally named her as the official fourth-grade wife, and she can finally hold her head high and no longer care about her identity.

Seeing her grandmother and mother so happy, the loss in Daohua's heart disappeared completely, and she said with a smile, "Grandmother, mother, this official uniform is so beautiful, please put on your clothes and show us."

Mrs Sun smiled and said, "Yes, we, we haven't seen Mrs. Gao Ming before. Mother and sister-in-law quickly put them on so that we can get to know each other." Although there was a smile on his face, there was something in his tone that could not be concealed. Stayed sour.

Mrs. Yan looked at Mrs. Li with a moved face: "How about we put it on and see?"

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "It's all my mother's advice."

Mrs. Yan immediately smiled and said, "Then wear it, let's go, let's go to the back room."

After a while, the two got dressed and came out.

When everyone saw it, they immediately surrounded them, and said good things and good things without money.

Daohua smiled and stood by and watched, and suddenly felt that this was not bad. Although the credit did not go to her, but her grandmother and mother became Mrs. Ming, and they would not be looked down upon when they came into contact with other officials and relatives in the future.

Mrs. Yan walked around the house in her official uniform. After being congratulated by her children and grandchildren, she looked at the door from time to time: "Why haven't Zhi Gao and Wen Xiu come back? "

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "The maid just came to report, saying that an official came to congratulate him, and it is estimated that it will take a while to come back."

Mrs. Yan looked at the official uniform on her body and hesitated: "What should I do, take it off first, and then put it on for them to see when his grandfather comes back?"

Daohua smiled and took the old lady's arm: "Grandmother, don't worry about it, keep wearing it."

Mrs. Yan touched her clothes cherishly: "What if it gets dirty and damaged?"

Daohua said with a smile: "It's so easy to get dirty and damaged. By the way, just now, Mrs. Fang came in and said that the maids and wives in the family wanted to come to see the two madams, but I don't know if your old permission would not allow it?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Yan looked at Mrs. Li: "Let's meet then?"

Mrs. Li smiled and nodded: "Listen to my mother."

Mrs. Yan immediately smiled and looked at Sun's mother. Sun's mother got the signal and went out with a smile. Soon, the maids and mother-in-law in the house came over, and the whole yard was full of knees.

Listening to everyone's congratulations, the smile on the old lady's face never stopped.

Daohua leaned into the old lady's ear and whispered, "Grandmother, you are so happy today, don't you want to reward me?"

As soon as Mrs. Yan heard it, she immediately said proudly: "Everyone has more cases this month. Monthly cases for one month."

The maid and mother-in-law listened and were so happy to thank each other.

Mrs. Li watched from the side and glanced at her daughter with a smile.

Yan Zhigao and Yan Wenxiu didn't come back from the front yard until the maid and the old woman retreated.

After seeing the official uniform, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li went to the back room to change it.

After coming out, Mrs. Yan couldn't help but ask: "Okay, why did the emperor think about giving me and the eldest daughter-in-law an official life?"

Yan Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mother, why don't you ask, it must be the eldest brother's outstanding political achievements."

Yan Zhigao smiled, did not refute, just glanced at the eldest daughter who was snuggling beside the old lady.

The eunuch who just announced the decree revealed that this time, the emperor awarded a total of two awards, one is their family and the other is Jiang's family.

Jiang Shenzheng's daughter was named the county magistrate.

His intuition in power for many years told him that his mother and wife were given official appointments, not because of his outstanding political achievements, but probably because of the gold mine.

Thinking of the eldest daughter and Wen Tao and Wen Kai looking for a gold mine not long ago, and the reaction of the eldest daughter when she learned that it was the Jiang family who found the gold mine, there was a faint guess in her heart.

The appointment of the mother and wife may be the compensation given by the emperor to their family.

Yan Zhigao once again glanced at the eldest daughter who was sitting beside her old mother and smiled and said Yan Yan, and felt quite emotional in her heart.

He failed to call for his mother and wife, but the eldest daughter did.

Compared with the joyousness of the Yan family, the atmosphere of the provincial capital Jiang's political family was not so warm.

Jiang Zhengyuan didn't have much joy on his face with the imperial decree: "I thought that because of the credit for finding gold mines, the emperor would give me the right to mine gold mines, but I didn't expect a county owner to send us away."

The Jiang family is a double queen, even if the Jiang family girl does not have the identity of the county owner, looking at the entire summer, she is also a first-class honor.

Mrs. Jiang ignored the outside affairs, her daughter became the county head, she was very happy: "In the past, only Wanyu from the big house was the county head, now it's better, our Wanying is also the county head, and no one compares Who is bad."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhengyuan shook his head. The woman's family has long hair and short knowledge, and only cares about the competition for the one-acre and three-point land in the backyard: "I don't know who the emperor will send to take charge of the gold mine?"

Mrs. Jiang: "Is there any need to ask? It must be the emperor's confidant."

On the eighth day of November, the Yan family received a letter from the Yang family.

"What did you say, your sister is coming back?"

Madam Yan looked at Yan Zhigao excitedly.

Yan Zhigao smiled and nodded: "Yes, my brother-in-law said that on your birthday this year, my sister will bring two children to congratulate you in person. Now that counts the days, I'm afraid it's already on the way."

Mrs. Yan's eyes suddenly turned red. She couldn't remember how many years she hadn't seen her daughter.

Daohua quickly stepped forward and comforted: "Grandma, aunt is coming back, you should be happy, why are you crying?"

Mrs. Yan wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "I just miss your aunt." She said, looking at Daohua with a smile, "You, I haven't seen your cousin or cousin yet, but I can finally meet you this time."

Daohua smiled and said, "I've long wanted to meet my aunt and cousin."

The smile on Yan Zhigao's face was a little light. He knew that the reason why the Yang family asked his sister to come over to celebrate his birthday was because he saw that the Yan family was getting better and better and more profitable.

However, seeing my mother so happy, she didn't express her thoughts.

Everyone was talking and laughing when Butler Sun suddenly came over in a hurry.

Seeing this, Yan Zhigao immediately walked out, standing under the porch and frowning listening to Butler Sun's report.

Daohua wanted to go back to the yard to get something, and when she stepped out of the door, she just heard a sentence.

"Mrs. Jiang was assassinated while going out to incense"

Yan Zhigao saw the eldest daughter look over and waved to her.

Butler Sun glanced at the eldest girl who came over, and then said, "I heard that Mrs. Jiang was stabbed in the arm and bled a lot. Miss Jiang was overly frightened and her old illness relapsed. Ten of the Jiang family's servants died."

Hearing this, Daohua's face turned pale, and her heart couldn't stop beating wildly.

After Butler Sun finished speaking, Yan Zhigao waved him away, and then said to Daohua, "Don't talk about your search for gold mines again."

Daohua nodded again and again.
