There is Room For the Poor Daughter

After Laba, the Yan family began to prepare for the New Year.

The big room is the busiest, Yan Zhigao has to go to the yamen, and Mrs. Li has to take care of the household chores and prepare for the New Year's ceremony of each family. It is difficult to have free time all day long.

The second house also has its own private property. In addition to Sun's dowry, the rice fields and shops have seen a lot of income in recent years, and some fields and shops have been added one after another. By the end of the year, Sun will also check the accounts.

It is the third house with the thinnest family. Because Yan Wentao has received dividends from Liulichang this year, he will take money from the house every month, and the third house has also added some fields and shops.

Seeing that the eldest son is becoming more and more promising, the current Wu family is also learning how to manage the shop.

For the second and third rooms, whether it is Yan Zhigao or Mrs. Li, they turn a blind eye.

Now that the old lady is still alive, coupled with the brotherhood that has depended on each other since he lost his father since childhood, Yan Zhigao will not leave his two younger brothers alone. But the tree has big branches, and this family will be divided in the future.

At that time, although he will not lose the two younger brothers, if the two younger brothers have their own property, the big house can be easier, and it is also beneficial to them.

In mid-December, only Yan Siyu and her daughter were the only ones who were really at leisure in the entire Yan residence, and the old lady was also busy counting the gifts sent by all parties.

One morning, Yan Siyu brought Yang Xiujun over to greet Mrs. Yan, and when she entered the room, she saw a lot of things on the kang by the window.

"Mother, is this?"

Mrs. Yan said with a smile: "Nazi Daohua sent it here last night, saying that it will be the end of the year soon, and there will be guests from time to time at home, so I can use it as a reward."

Saying that, he opened a box with a foot length.

More than half of the box contained silver nudes, and a small half contained gold nudes.

Mrs. Yan waved to Yang Xiujun, and when she came to her, she grabbed a large amount of naked silver and put it in her purse, and then handed it to her.

Yang Xiuyun quickly looked at her mother: "Grandma."

Madam Yan didn't wait for Yan Siyu to speak, she smiled and said, "Good boy, it's getting ready soon. It's the end of the year, either you can use it yourself, or it's cheaper to reward others." Then, she took a small box the size of a slap, Filled the box with gold and silver nudes and handed it to Yan Siyu.

Yan Siyu quickly pushed back: "Mother, I can't want this."

Mrs. Yan pretended to be angry: "If you don't accept it, I'm going to be angry. You also watched it. I have a lot of young and old here, and that's enough."

"Mother is supposed to be a daughter to honor you!" Yan Siyu's eyes were a little red, with embarrassment and guilt on her face.

Mrs. Yan sighed and took her daughter's hand: "In the past, the family was sad and couldn't help you. Now that our family is up, we will naturally not leave you behind."

Yan Siyu said with a nasal voice: "Mother~"

Mrs. Yan: "Okay, take it. Now our family is no longer than before. There are more people coming and going at the end of the year. If you want to bring a child, it's not good for you to give nothing."

This gold and silver nude is cast into the shape of peanuts, gold ingots, zodiac signs, etc. It is good-looking and has meanings, and it is suitable for rewarding people.

When she thought of coming home, her mother-in-law gave her five hundred taels of silver, and Yan Siyu's ears were a little red. At this moment, the silver in her hand was less than two hundred taels.

Mrs. Yan knew her daughter well and didn't talk to her any more, she just put the box into her hand, and then pulled Yang Xiuyun to look at the others.

"This piece of sheepskin is still in good condition. It can be used to make a pair of boots, which can be worn just in time for the Chinese New Year."

"And this big red feather satin, also used to make clothes."

Seeing that the old lady kept stuffing things into her hands, Yang Xiujun didn't follow suit, neither did she refuse, she could only look to her mother for help.

Yan Siyu hurriedly said, "Mother, Xiuyun has clothes to wear. Leave these to Yiyi."

Mrs. Yan said with a smile: "You don't need to keep it for her, that girl doesn't lack these things."

Yan Siyu: "Then give Yihuan a few."

Mrs. Yan pulled her face down: "I will give my things to whoever I want." Then, she put a pink silk satin in Yang Xiuyun's hands, "Good boy, don't listen to your mother, take it back and make a few. new clothes."

In this way, Yan Siyu had no choice but to nod at Yang Xiuyun.

Yang Xiujun held something and blessed the old lady: "Thank you grandmother for the reward."

Mrs. Yan hurriedly pulled the person up and said with a smile, "That's right, put it away with peace of mind. Seeing you all dressed up beautifully makes me happy."

Knowing that the old lady was going to pack up and take stock, Yan Si's mother and daughter didn't stay any longer, and left after sitting for a while.

On the way back, Yang Xiuyun's face was gloomy.

After Yan Siyu noticed it, he asked, "Why, don't you like the things your grandmother gave you?"

Yang Xiujun said in frustration, "I don't dislike it, it's just that Cousin Yiyi is only a few months older than me, but she is so much better than me. My daughter feels that she is useless."

Yan Siyu touched her daughter's hair and sighed, "Yiyi has hers, you have yours, and people are different."

Yang Xiuyun shook her head and said a little excitedly: "Mother, do you know, yesterday I went to Daohuaxuan and saw Yiyi's cousin checking the books. The account books are all the villages, fields, and shops under her own name."

"Mother, didn't you see that there are several stacks of account books alone, and each of them is very thick. The abacus that Cousin Yiyi uses to settle accounts is made of white jade."

"Not only that, but I went to Yihuan and the others and found out that they are also reconciling accounts, and they all have their own shops under their names."

"Mother, how can the cousins ​​of the Yan family live so recklessly?"

Yan Siyu hurriedly pulled her daughter, patted her hand comfortingly, and sighed, "I heard your second aunt mention this, the Yan family was the same as our family, but Yiyi made trouble later. In order to open a shop and buy a village, the Yan family made this opening."

"In the beginning, your uncle and the others were not optimistic either. Who would have thought that Yiyi's girl had some skills. Not only did the grain harvest in the fields be good, but the items in the store were also sold well."

"There are many brothers and sisters in the family, and comparisons are indispensable. Seeing that Yiyi is so well-off, Yihuan also borrowed money from his parents and learned Yiyi."

"Yiyi is also very ambitious. The sisters came to ask for advice on how to run a shop. She knows everything and can't stop talking about it. The three Yihuan are also smart, and they really managed the shop."

"I really haven't asked about the specific situation of the store, is it good?"

Yang Xiujun nodded: "Cousin Yiyi won't talk about it, you look at the things she gave to her grandmother, such a big box of gold and silver nudes, just to build a lot of silver, you can imagine how rich she is. "

"The shops in Yihuan's hands are also very profitable. When I went there yesterday, I happened to see Yishuang's cousin delivering something to Auntie Lin. Among them was a bag of silver, which was bulging, at least one hundred taels."

Seeing the envy in her daughter's eyes, Yan Siyu sighed: "Girl, a situation like your uncle's house is rare in everyone's backyard. Most girls are the same as you."

The girl's family owned its own assets before marriage, and even if a wealthy family doted on their daughter, there were few like her parents' family.

Yang Xiujun nodded sullenly: "I know, that's why I feel that although cousin Yishuang is a concubine, she is happier than the direct daughters of many other families because she was born in the Yan family." It will be much, much better.

Mother and daughter were immersed in their own thoughts, but they didn't notice Yan Yishuang at the corner.

Seeing the two of them walking by, Yan Yi's eyes flashed, and she couldn't help thinking of the envious glances that girls from other concubines cast at her every time at a banquet, and then thinking of what her aunt and cousin Xiuyun said today, her expression was a little dazed.

It turned out that in the eyes of others, she was so happy.

Maybe she really should be content.

"Let's go, go back."

"Girl, we're not going to Shuangxinyuan anymore?"

"I won't go. My aunt is still under ground control. Although my mother agrees with me to visit, we should not go too often."

Yan Yishuang was walking back to the yard, her thoughts were erratic.

In the past, with her aunt by her side, what she heard the most was to seize her father's favor. For the past two years, her aunt was grounded, and without her help, she found that she was happier than before, at least now she can do There are many things that I like, so I don't need to think about inviting pets from time to time.
