There is Room For the Poor Daughter

The 29th of November is the fifty-fifth birthday of Mrs. Yan. Although it is a scattered birth, many people came to celebrate her birthday because the emperor suddenly sealed the old lady and Mrs. Li. Therefore, it is not yet eleven. In the middle of the month, Mrs. Li was busy with her two sisters-in-law.

Daohua, who was in charge of the kitchen, was naturally pulled out. In addition, Mrs. Li wanted to teach her about housekeeping, which made her busy every day like a top.

main courtyard.

While looking at the purchase list, Mrs. Li asked Daohua lying on the slumped pillow, "Has the guest house been cleaned up? Your aunt, cousin, and cousin are expected to arrive in a day or two."

Daohua said weakly: "I have already cleaned up, but I see the appearance of my grandmother, she should want her aunt to live with her."

Mrs. Li smiled lightly: "It's okay to stay for a few days, but it won't work after a long time."

Daohua raised her head and turned her head to look at Mrs. Li: "Auntie, are they going to live for a long time?"

Mrs. Li put down the shopping list and said with a smile: "It's rare for your aunt to go back to Ningning. It's approaching the end of the year, so you have to leave after the new year. I heard from your father that the Yang family has entrusted the relationship, and your cousin Hongrui will also be in the next year. When I go to Wangyue Academy to study, I am afraid that I will live in our house in recent years."

Daohua let out an 'oh' and lay down again.

Mrs. Li added: "Although you are busy receiving your aunt and preparing for the old lady's birthday, but Yunxi and Yunyan, don't be neglectful."

Daohua nodded: "Mother, don't worry, I often stay with them these days."

Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter angrily: "Of course mother knows, you called them over to help you."

Daohua looked embarrassed and sat up: "Look what Mother said, I asked them to help me. It can not only help me, but also learn some housekeeping, and win-win."

Mrs. Li smiled and shook her head: "This is the way to treat guests, but Yunxi and Yunyan are willing to learn, that's all. By the way, did you leave the sewing room to the three of Yihuan?"

Daohua nodded: "I just let them manage people and affairs. I still hold the ledger."

Mrs. Li hummed, "You're going to take a break."

Daohua smiled and sat next to Mrs. Li: "Mother, I'm trying to make the best of my talents. There are so many things in our family every day. If we really want to do everything by ourselves, we'll be exhausted. Anyway, I'm holding on to the most important things, and I can't count them. Big waves are coming."

Mrs. Li: "It's good that you know what you have in mind, but don't look down on others. You know, ants can also kill elephants."

Daohua smiled and nodded: "I know."

At noon that day, the Yan family was eating in Songheyuan, and before the meal was finished, Butler Sun came over.

Mrs. Li put down her chopsticks and asked, "But grandma's boat has arrived?"

Butler Sun nodded: "Back to Madam, the Yang family's boat has indeed arrived, but with the Yang family, there are also the Han family from Earl Zhaode's mansion."

Hearing this, everyone at the dinner table was silent.

Mrs. Yan and the people in the big room knew about the Han family, but the people in the second and third rooms really didn't know anything. When they heard that people from the Earl's House came, they were all stunned.

On the table, Daohua quickly looked at her eldest brother, and when she saw him, she smiled and winked at him.

Yan Wenxiu felt a little uncomfortable about his sister's jokes, and looked away from her again.

Mrs. Li became anxious: "The Han family is here too? Why didn't you say it in advance?" The Han family might be the eldest son's future Yue family, but she couldn't be neglected.

Yan Zhigao suddenly raised his head and patted his head: "Look at my memory, I received a letter from the Han family a few days ago. It happened that there were a lot of things in the government office, so I forgot to mention it."

Mrs. Li stood up: "I haven't prepared anything yet. I have to hurry up and clean up the place for people."

Daohua quickly grabbed Mrs. Li: "Mother, just in case, when I was preparing my aunt's yard, I cleaned up our guest yard. Even if there are a few more families, there will still be a place to live. of."

Mrs. Li suddenly became less anxious: "What about the person serving?"

Daohua said calmly: "I asked Mrs. Fang to dispatch a group of people from various places before, especially to deal with emergencies, so let's assign them from the people there."

Mrs. Li nodded and said, "The Han family is the earl's family, and the things they use should not be too sloppy."

Daohua was still in a hurry: "Of course, you can't lose the face of the Yan family when you entertain guests. I have arranged them according to the specifications of the guest house where Xiao Yeyang lives. No matter how noble the Han family is, it is no more expensive than Xiao Yeyang."

Mrs. Li thought for a while, and seeing that she had nothing to ask, she sat down again, and then glanced at Daohua with relief. She was lucky to have a daughter to help her share her worries.

The Yan family also looked at Daohua.

Sun shi smiled and said, "Our Daohua is really a good housekeeper, everything is arranged properly in advance."

Yan Yi took over with a smile: "No wonder the big sister asked the sewing room to rush out a batch of new sheets and sheets. I was thinking about it at the time, and now I know that it is used to decorate the living room."

Mrs Sun said to Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile, "In the future, you have to follow your elder sister to learn." After speaking, she looked at Daohua again, "Daohua, you are an elder sister, you can teach your younger sisters more. "

Mrs. Li didn't wait for Daohua to respond, and directly changed her words: "Second brother and sister, don't praise this girl, she doesn't know anything." Then she brought the topic back to the sister-in-law who was about to go home.

My daughter is tired enough to study housekeeping, and she has no time to teach others.

And this is a thankless job. If you teach it well, you will get a few sentences. If you don't teach it well, you will also say that you are not doing your best.

Neither Yan Zhigao nor Yan Zhiyuan intervened in the matter of the backyard, but they all knew that Daohua let Yihuan, Yile, and Yishuang manage the sewing room, and they were both satisfied.

Yan Zhigao glanced at the eldest daughter, and felt relieved. The eldest daughter had a stronger personality, but she was also personable. She knew how to help the younger sister under her, and she had the demeanor of the eldest sister.

Immediately, everyone hurriedly ate dinner, and then went back to their rooms to arrange and change their clothes, ready to meet Yan Siyu and the Han family, even Yan Zhigao, who also waited at home and did not go to the yamen.

In the carriage sent by the Yan family to pick up the person, Yang Xiujun held her mother's hand a little excitedly and a little nervously.

Yan Siyu helped her daughter straighten her hair and smiled, "Don't be nervous, your grandmother, uncles, and aunts are all very kind people."

Yang Xiujun nodded: "My daughter knows." After speaking, he hesitated for a while and asked, "Mother, grandmother is celebrating her birthday, why did Master Han bring the eldest son of the Han family here?"

Yan Siyu pondered for a while: "I'm afraid your uncle is intending to kiss the Han family."

Yang Xiujun was stunned: "Is that the cousin Wen Xiu?"

Yan Siyu gave an 'um': "Your eldest cousin won the election when he was less than twenty, and now your eldest uncle has a strong family, and the future is boundless." After speaking, he sighed, "If you It would be good to have two or three years earlier."

Hearing this, Yang Xiujun's face turned red, and she lowered her head and said coquettishly, "Mother, what did you say?"

Yan Siyu smiled: "Okay, okay, mother won't talk about it." This is just her wishful thinking. With the current official position of the eldest brother, I am afraid that he will not look down on the Yang family.

After a while, the carriage stopped.

Yan Siyu took Yang Xiuyun out of the carriage, and saw the three brothers and sisters-in-law who were standing in front of the gate to greet her in person. She burst into tears and walked over quickly.

Mrs. Li also hurriedly brought Sun and Wu to greet them.
