There is Room For the Poor Daughter

"Don't tell me what you just saw!"

Back at Zhou Mansion, Daohua couldn't help but exhorted Zhou Jingwan.

Zhou Jingwan nodded: "Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter."

The two first went to the main courtyard to meet Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Li.

Because tomorrow is the day when Zhou Chengye gets married, some of the people who are friends with the Zhou family have arrived early, and the wives and girls of each family gathered together, which was very lively.

After meeting the etiquette with the ladies and girls, and chatting for a while, Daohua thought about what she had just seen on the street, said to Zhou Jingwan, and then took the time to come out.

Not long after returning to Zhou Jingwan's courtyard, Wang Man'er came back.

"How is it, did you hear that?" Daohua asked anxiously.

Wang Man'er nodded: "The slave followed the carriage all the way to the gate of Wangyue Academy. Only after looking for the gatekeeper, I found out that the girl is the daughter of Master Lu of the academy."

Daohua frowned: "Master Lu?" After pondering for a while, she said uncertainly, "I remember that the master who taught the elder brother's strategy seems to be named Lu, right?"

Wang Man'er nodded: "It seems to be true. I remember one time when the master was taking an examination for teaching, he praised Master Lu who taught him his novel ideas."

Daohua fell silent.

Wang Man'er asked, "Girl, do you want to tell Madam about this?"

Daohua shook his head decisively: "No, since eldest brother didn't say anything, let's pretend we don't know. Maybe there's nothing at all, we think too much."

At the same time, the first restaurant in Xingzhou City.

Looking at Yan Wenxiu who kept pouring alcohol into his mouth, Zhou Chengye had a headache, he stretched out his hand and forcibly snatched the jug away: "Don't drink any more, you have to go home full of alcohol, how do you explain to Auntie."

Yan Wenxiu held his head in despair and said nothing.

Zhou Chengye sighed: "If you want me to tell you, if you really like Miss Lu, then go and tell your uncle and aunt. Because of their love for you, they may not agree."

Yan Wenxiu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm not the same as you, you can choose the girl you like, you don't have to care about the family, but I can't."

"Our family was born out of Gengshu, relying on my father to go around in the officialdom alone, and we got where we are today. If I want the Yan family to go further, I have to marry a wife who can help the Yan family. ."

Hearing this, Zhou Chengye fell silent. He could understand Yan Wenxiu's mood very well, because he was also the eldest son in the family, and as the eldest son, he had to take responsibility for the prosperity of the family.

"Hey, why don't you take Miss Lu as your concubine?"

Yan Wenxiu shook his head: "Let's not say whether Master Lu will agree or not. Even if he agrees, I can't bear to be so wronged by Lu Ran." After speaking, he was silent for a while.

"My eldest sister once said that after marrying a wife, she has to be responsible to her. I can't enjoy the benefits brought by the Yue family, and at the same time go to wrong people's daughters, it's too bad."

Zhou Chengye looked disapproving: "Why is this? It is a matter of course for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Even if it is not Miss Lu, you will have other concubines in the future."

Yan Wenxiu remained silent. After a while, he picked up the jug and poured himself another glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and placed the glass heavily on the table: "Lu Ran deserves better, and she will be married to a matchmaker in the future. , presided over the central feeder, husband and child, and I need to take my responsibility."

Seeing him like this, it was inconvenient for Zhou Chengye to say more.

Yan Wenxiu stood up: "Let's go, go back, you are going to be the bridegroom tomorrow, but you have to go back and get ready."

Zhou House.

After lunch, Mrs. Li saw that Mrs. Zhou was busy, so she took Yan Yihuan and Yan Yishuang back to the guest house to rest.

Because Zhou Jingwan was busy, Daohua came to Mrs. Li's side.

"mother!"

Mrs. Li pulled her daughter to sit down beside her: "Why does it look like there is no energy?"

Daohua leaned on Mrs. Li's shoulder: "I'm a little tired."

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Since you are tired, stay in the room and don't run around."

Then, Mrs. Li and Daohua talked about the ladies and ladies she saw today, talking about Zhou Jingwan's future visit to Beijing.

"Before the guests arrived this morning, Mrs. Zhou and I were gossiping, saying that they came to Beijing this time to kiss Jing Wan."

Daohua was severely hit by this, and looked at Mrs. Li eagerly: "Mother, what did you just say? What did Jingwan go to the capital for?"

Seeing her daughter's confused reaction, Mrs. Li found it a little funny: "Look at you, what's so surprising, Jingwan is a little older than you, and she is about to get married, your aunt Zhou started to tell her about kissing her. , isn't this normal?"

Said, with a sighed expression on his face.

"In a blink of an eye, you little girls have reached the age to get married."

Daohua reconfirmed: "Mother, Jing Wan clearly said that she just went to the capital to visit Master Tuesday and the others. Isn't Mrs. Zhou joking?"

Mrs. Li glanced at Daohua: "How can a mother joke about her daughter's marriage? Jingwan doesn't know that Mrs. Zhou didn't tell her." After speaking, she paused, "I am quite envious of the Zhou family. They still have connections in the capital, so they can choose a good one for Jingwan, and our family will be gone."

Daohua rubbed her throbbing temples, she didn't hear what Mrs. Li was saying, and said in her heart that today was not a good day.

First, he knocked down the girl from the eldest brother's private meeting with the master, and now there is such a surprising news.

Seeing that her daughter's face was not very good, Mrs. Li asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Daohua shook her head, was silent for a while, and looked at Mrs. Li with some hesitation.

Seeing Mrs. Li, she wondered a little: "I came out from the west side today? Why did you become unhappy and unhappy?"

Daohua took a deep breath and said tentatively, "Mother, tell me. Is it possible for our family to marry the Zhou family?"

Mrs. Li instantly raised her eyes and looked at Daohua, thinking that her younger son had told her about her marriage before, her brows jumped: "Make it clear!"

Daohua: "The third brother, the third brother seems to like Jingwan."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li suddenly had a headache. She knew that a few children played well, but one or two had secret affairs, which made her very annoyed.

If this kind of thing spreads out, how will others view the Yan family?

Suddenly, Mrs. Li grabbed Daohua: "Yiyi, tell your mother honestly, you didn't learn from your two brothers, did you?"

Daohua's heart bulged, her eyes turned to other places with some dodging, and her voice was a little erratic: "No."

Mrs. Li looked at Daohua with her eyebrows fixed, and said with a serious face: "Yiyi, our women's reputation is greater than the sky. You can't do anything that is unethical and unethical."

Daohua frowned: "Mother, what did you say, of course my daughter knows."

Mrs. Li also knew that her daughter was measured, so she breathed a sigh of relief, but still said: "Don't blame your mother for being unpleasant, it's a matter of private life, a man does it, and if it is spread, it will be said that he is young and romantic; But if the girl did it, it would be fatal."

Daohua was a little blocked in her heart, and she lowered her head and did not speak.

Mrs. Li looked at Daohua and didn't say more, but she carefully recalled the foreign men her daughter had been in contact with.

The most are the little prince, Dong Yuanxuan and Su Hongxin.

Fortunately, these three people don't go to their house often now. It seems that she will have to restrain her daughter in the future, and she can't let her go out casually.
