There is Room For the Poor Daughter

The Dong family's banquet, apart from the fact that Young Master He punished An Xi, did not have any other accidents. After a day, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves.

After dinner, after Mrs. Dong sent the female family away, she helped Mrs. Dong back to the yard, and chatted about today's banquet.

Mrs. Dong sighed while drinking tea: "My daughter-in-law is becoming more and more useless now. After a banquet, I feel like my bones are about to fall apart."

Mrs. Dong smiled and glanced at her daughter-in-law: "You, hurry up and marry Yuan Xuan. With a daughter-in-law, you can relax."

Mrs. Dong put down the teacup: "There have been several banquets held at home. Does mother have a good candidate?"

The smile on Mrs. Dong's face faded a little, and she said with dissatisfaction: "The girls from this local official's family are all good in appearance and family education, but their family background is a little worse, and some of them are not worthy of our Yongjiahou Mansion. ."

Mrs. Dong: "Mother, the title of Hou's mansion will be inherited by the eldest brother in the future. It has nothing to do with our house. My daughter-in-law thinks that we can lower the conditions of the family a little bit."

Mrs. Dong immediately disapproved and said, "How can this be possible? It's because you can't inherit the title, so you have to find a noble family, and Yuanxuan will be able to help you in the future."

Mrs. Dong didn't particularly value family status, but she also felt that the old lady's words made sense. Marrying a daughter-in-law of a noble family would make her son a lot easier in the future.

Mrs. Dong was silent for a while: "Don't worry, if we don't have a good local election, we will go back to the capital to elect. Last year, I wrote back and asked your aunt to help you look at it."

Mrs. Dong nodded, and talked about He Gongzi's punishment of An Xi.

When Mrs. Dong heard it, she sneered: "The He family is really good at making trouble at other banquets. I really thought that if we were transferred to the capital, we could ignore our family? The He family is still a bit powerful in the local area. But when they get to the capital, what are they worth, I hope they won't beg us in the future."

Mrs. Dong said quickly: "Mother really doesn't need to be angry because of this kind of thing, let's just treat it as a joke." After speaking, she smiled, "It's that girl Yiyi, I really like it, if it weren't for her today With He Shiyu helping Yuanyao, there is no doubt that there will be a lot of commotion."

Mrs. Dong's expression softened: "The eldest lady of the Yan family is really good."

Mrs. Dong's eyes flashed, and she tentatively said, "Mother, if you tell Yuan Xuan about Yiyi, what do you think?"

Outside the door, Dong Yuanxuan, who came to look for his mother's business, was about to enter the door when he heard this, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

Mrs. Dong frowned and looked at her daughter-in-law: "Why do you have such thoughts?"

Mrs. Dong smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law really likes that girl, Yi Yi, she is refreshing, generous, and capable. She has been helping Mrs. Li as a housekeeper a few years ago, and she gets along well with Yuan Yao, and Yuan Xuan, too. I have known each other since I was a child, and I know the bottom line.”

Dong Yuanxuan, who was outside the door, listened to this, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and the joy on his face could not be suppressed, causing the little servant standing by the side to look at him several times.

However, the old lady Dong in the room interrupted Mrs. Dong.

"The Yan family's family background is too low. If you marry their family, let alone help Yuanxuan, maybe you have to rely on Yuanxuan to help them, no."

Outside the door, when Dong Yuanxuan heard Mrs. Dong's firm refusal, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but walk in.

Seeing Dong Yuanxuan, Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Dong were a little surprised.

Mrs. Dong asked, "All the guests in the front yard have been sent away?"

Dong Yuanxuan nodded. After entering the door, he calmed down and calmed down. He walked to the side with a smile and sat down: "I came to see my grandmother and mother. Today's banquet is so busy, are you tired?"

The grandson was filial, and Mrs. Dong immediately smiled and said, "What's the matter? As long as you can help you choose a daughter-in-law that suits your heart, no matter how tired you are, your mother and I will be happy."

Seeing the embarrassment on their son's face, both Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Dong laughed.

After the two laughed for a while, Dong Yuanxuan asked, "What were grandmother and mother talking about just now?"

Mrs. Dong glanced at Mrs. Dong and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just talked about Yiyi's relief for your sister today."

Hearing this, Dong Yuanxuan's eyes flashed, and he struggled a little. He knew that the little prince liked Sister Yan, but he still wanted to fight for himself.

After all, he can't be the master of the little prince's marriage, and it's impossible for Sister Yan to be his concubine, so he doesn't feel sorry for the little prince if he wants to marry Sister Yan.

After hesitating for a moment, Dong Yuanxuan said with a smile: "Sister Yan and my sister are on good terms, and the two have always been inseparable from Meng Meng." After speaking, he pretended to be casual.

"Speaking of which, the Yan family has grown up really fast over the years. When I first met the Yan family's brothers and sisters, Master Yan was only a county magistrate. Now only a few years have passed, and not only did Master Yan become the prefect, but also Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li are already appointed ladies."

"After Wen Xiu was in the middle, he also began to work with Master Xiao. Today, my father took Wen Xiu's examination and taught him, and he praised him several times, saying that he must be a good candidate for an official in the future."

Mrs. Dong glanced at her son with a surprised look on her face. Her son rarely talks to them about this kind of thing. What happened today?

Thinking of what she just talked about with her mother-in-law, Mrs. Dong's heart moved. Did her son hear their conversation, and he fell in love?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Dong smiled and said following her son's words: "The Yan family has indeed developed quite well in recent years."

Mrs. Dong was not very interested, but said: "If a family wants to go a long way, it has to see if the younger generation has any prospects. Just looking at the present can't tell anything."

Dong Yuanxuan said with a smile: "Grandmother, the Yan brothers are of course promising. Not to mention Wen Xiu, it is Wen Kai and Wen Tao. Now they are also working with the little prince, and they can't go wrong in the future."

Mrs. Dong shook her head: "After the little prince Ma side concubine straightened up, his own future is still unknown, let alone the people who follow him?"

Dong Yuanxuan frowned: "I can't, although the little prince is not very close to the Prince of Peace, the emperor is still very good to him. Besides, the little prince is the first wife and the direct son, even if Ma side concubine is righteous, it is only the successor, Xiao Ye. Is it possible that Chen can still compete with the little prince for the title of the palace?"

Mrs. Dong looked at her grandson in disapproval: "You, you are still too young, the interests of the royal family always come first, the emperor may have a little love for the little prince, but what is this love in the face of the balance of interests? ?"

"Also, don't underestimate the women in the backyard. Concubine Ma was able to force Princess Guo away back then, and make the little prince unable to live in the palace. Now, when people in the capital talk about the little prince, almost all of them are still in a bad place. In the impression, you can imagine how powerful her methods are."

"When there was no righting in the past, Ma Fangfei was so fiercely vying for it, not to mention that now the name is justified, wait and see, this Prince Ping's title is up for grabs."

Saying that, he shook his head.

"Now that the little prince is in Zhongzhou, he can still hide for some leisure time. If he returns to Beijing, heh, there will definitely be troubles."

"This person's energy is limited. He is entangled in miscellaneous things. How can you expect him to have a good future?"

Dong Yuanxuan was silent: "Grandmother, you don't know the little prince. If you really want to go back to Beijing, Concubine Ma Fang still wants to slander the little prince as she did when she was a child. I'm afraid it's impossible."

Mrs. Dong didn't care much: "Maybe, but the road ahead for the little prince is definitely not easy. Okay, let's leave other people's affairs alone."
