There is Room For the Poor Daughter

"Wenhui, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Zhigao came to the Shuangxin Courtyard as usual, entered the courtyard, and found that his concubine did not greet him at the door as usual, so he quietly walked into the room, and as soon as he entered, he saw his concubine fascinated and motionless.

"Master is here!"

When Aunt Lin saw Yan Zhigao, she immediately put away her worried expression and greeted her with a smile.

Yan Zhigao took her hand and asked with concern, "What are you thinking, why didn't I find it when I came?"

Concubine Lin shook her head and said bitterly, "I didn't think about anything, I just thought, but I was thinking wildly."

Yan Zhigao asked again, "What happened?"

Aunt Lin hesitated.

Yan Zhigao sighed and patted Concubine Lin's hand: "I know, you have been wronged during this time, I will tell you about your mother, you are so knowledgeable, and after she understands your goodness, naturally will accept you."

"As for Daohua, this girl is so used to her mother that I will teach her well in the future. However, she is still young, so don't take it to heart if she says something unpleasant."

Hearing this, Concubine Lin's eyes immediately turned red: "I'm just a concubine, whether it's an old lady or a big girl, no matter what they do to me, I will suffer, and I should suffer."

"But. Yishuang and Wenbin are the flesh and blood of the Yan family, and they shouldn't be implicated by me."

Yan Zhigao heard that there was something in Concubine Lin's words and reassured him, "Didn't I say it, our family doesn't have the rules of the descendants of the big family, Wen Bin and Yishuang, in my heart, are the same as Wen Xiu, no It will embarrass them."

Aunt Lin's face was moved: "Master Quanquan loves his son, Wen Hui is very clear and knows that Master will treat him equally, but that's not what I'm worried about."

Yan Zhigao wondered: "Then what are you worried about?"

Aunt Lin looked at Yan Zhigao, and seemed to have mustered up her courage before she said, "Big girl, big girl seems to dislike Wenbin and Yishuang very much."

Yan Zhigao frowned: "What did Daohua do again?"

Aunt Lin hurriedly said: "It's nothing, just today, Wen Bin and Yishuang went to Zheguiyuan with the cakes brought by their younger brother, and invited a few girls from the family, the young master, and even the poem, and the eldest girl went, but she... As soon as I heard that the cakes were brought by Yishuang and the others, they just threw them away."

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao's face immediately showed anger.

Aunt Lin looked at his face and said cautiously: "After that, the eldest girl left the Zheguiyuan, went to the old lady, and then invited the young master of the family to eat wine lees, but Yishuang and Wenbin were not invited."

Speaking of this, Concubine Lin's tone became a little more eager: "I don't care about the big girl, but Yishuang and Wenbin treat the big girl as their sister. She treats her so clearly now, and I'm afraid it will affect their relationship in the future. brotherhood."

Yan Zhigao stood up abruptly and said angrily, "I'm going to the main courtyard. You can take Yishuang and Wenbin to dinner later."

Seeing Yan Zhigao leave angrily, Concubine Lin showed a triumphant smile on her face.

Yan Yiyi, you have made me lose so much face in front of the Yan family. This New Year, you will never have a better time!

"sister!"

Just then, Master Lin walked in.

Aunt Lin was surprised: "Little brother, why are you here?"

Master Lin: "You were bullied, can I not come and have a look?" The county office is so big. Although the front yard and the back yard are separated, you can always find out what happened.

Aunt Lin cuddled in her heart: "It's just a little girl, don't worry, your sister can handle it."

Master Lin did shake his head: "Although the eldest girl of the Yan family is not very old, she is very intelligent and has a very outgoing bearing. Sister, you must not be careless. Besides, there is a Bodhisattva, Madam Yan, behind her. "

Aunt Lin sneered: "What's wrong with being smart, with such a wild temper, it's hard to please others. You don't know, she not only mocked me that day, but even the master said something about Sang and scolding Huai, and the master's face was red with anger at that time. If this kind of thing happens a few more times, I guarantee that she will completely lose the master's heart."

"A daughter who is not valued by the master, even if the old lady is protecting her, what kind of waves can she find."

Master Lin knew that his sister was angry this time, and after thinking about it, he said, "Sister, if you really want the eldest girl to completely lose the master's heart, what you can do now is not enough."

"At home, as long as you don't go out, everything can be solved easily. Only if the eldest girl provokes people outside, the adult will punish the eldest girl severely in order to preserve her reputation."

Aunt Lin's eyes lit up: "Is there anything you can do?"

Master Lin: "I'll handle this matter. Sister, don't do anything, lest the old lady have any opinion on you again."

Aunt Lin sighed and rubbed her forehead: "I don't know how to please the old lady?"

Master Lin smiled: "Sister, what about you and me? It's up to you, the old lady will fall in love with you. Haven't the front and back yards of the county government been complimenting you all these years?"

Aunt Lin also laughed, and then snorted coldly: "Since the eldest girl came, I have not been happy. I really hope this trouble can be solved next year."

"Will do."

main courtyard.

Yan Zhigao came over angrily, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Mrs. Li checking the ledger with an indescribably tired look on her brows, and she was surprised when she saw him.

"Why did the master think about coming here?"

Yan Zhigao glanced at the thick ledger on the table, and there was a rare trace of guilt in his heart.

He was tired of working in the county office, but his wife was also tired of taking care of the housework.

That's all, for the sake of his wife, he doesn't care about his eldest daughter for the time being.

He knew in his heart that at that time, his wife was very reluctant to keep the eldest daughter in her hometown, but for the sake of filial piety and to take care of the backyard for him, she still endured tears and agreed.

He is also responsible for the eldest daughter who has grown into her current temperament.

Now that the eldest daughter has just returned to his wife's side, she has to be pampered, and it will probably take a long time to pull the eldest daughter's temperament back.

Yan Zhigao sat down with a serious face: "Why, I can't come back?"

Mrs. Li put down the ledger in her hand and smiled: "The Yan family belongs to the master, and the master can go wherever he wants." After saying that, she glanced at the sky outside and found that it was already a little dark.

"It's already evening. After counting the accounts, time flies by quickly." He said, put away the account books, and looked at Yan Zhigao, "Master is eating in the main courtyard tonight?"

Yan Zhigao nodded expressionlessly.

Mrs. Li smiled, and her tone seemed to be a little brisk: "Then I'll have someone serve the food right away."

During the meal, Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li were the only ones.

Yan Zhigao: "What about Wen Xiu and the others?"

Mrs. Li: "The old lady asked her to eat in her courtyard."

A quarter of an hour ago, Mrs. Yan knew that the eldest son had taken the initiative to return to the main courtyard. She was worried that her grandchildren would disturb the couple who had just reconciled, so she left them behind.

Yan Zhigao nodded: "Wenxiu and the others don't have classes now, so it's time to accompany their mother more. By the way, today it was said that Daohua brought wine lees to everyone?"

Mrs. Li glanced at Yan Zhigao, her expression lightened a bit, and she shook her head and said, "Nothing, I don't do much for the sake lees and rice flowers. She said that she would save it for the Chinese New Year. But today, the old lady saw her grandchildren going to greet her. I was happy, so I gave them a drink."

Originally, the old lady didn't plan to drink it for everyone's grandchildren, but Yan Wenxiu had just brought the bowl, and Yan Wenjie had just arrived.

As for Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin, they didn't drink it, that's because Mrs. Yan clearly expressed her dislike for Concubine Lin. .

Yan Zhigao looked surprised, obviously not expecting his mother to be involved.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Li's face paled.

She said, how could the young master come to the main courtyard on his own initiative at this time, who had never been arrogant to her?

Mrs. Li felt a little cold in her heart, and said in a low voice, "I heard that the wine lees tastes very good, but unfortunately, I couldn't get a bowl to drink as a mother. After all, if I didn't keep it by my side, my feelings were not deep."

Hearing this, Ping Xiao, who was waiting at the table, quickly glanced at the inner room. At this moment, a small white porcelain jar just happened to be placed there.

The jar was full of mouth-watering distiller's grains.

There is something in the lady's words, and the last sentence is satirizing the master!

Sure enough, Yan Zhigao's face became a little unnatural.

Pingxiao can understand even a girl, but his client knows it better. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he can only bow his head to eat.

Mrs. Li: "Master, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I have to hurry up and read the ledger. You can go to Shuangxinyuan in the evening. Aunt Lin is the concubine. At this time, she should play her role as a servant."

"Snapped!"

The sound of chopsticks hitting the ground sounded.

Yan Zhigao stared at his docile wife in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe she would say such a thing.

The role of a waiter? !!!

Madam, this is to treat Wenhui as a family, raised.

Mrs. Li ate her meal calmly without looking back.
