There is Room For the Poor Daughter

The old lady in charge led Madam Zhu, Madam Zhu Fourth, and Zhu Qiyun directly to the main courtyard.

Mrs. Zhu knew that in her current status, she was no longer qualified to let Mrs. Li come out to greet her, so she was only slightly disappointed and not too surprised when she didn't see Mrs. Li in front of the gate.

But now that the old lady of the Yan family is still there, and there are guests coming to the door, she didn't even say that she would take them to see them first. She immediately understood in her heart that this time, Mrs. Li was only trying to save both sides, and the smile on her face couldn't help but turn a little bit. Far-fetched.

Mrs. Zhu glanced at the Fourth Madam Zhu. If she couldn't go to see Mrs. Yan, it meant that she couldn't see the people from the second house of the Yan family. Then their purpose of coming this time would be in vain.

Fourth Madam Zhu also realized this, and her heart sank a little, but her face was not obvious, and she still showed a decent smile.

Zhu Qiyun silently followed behind her elders, neither looking around nor being overly apprehensive. At this moment, she could only do her best to obey the destiny. At this moment, her words and deeds showed the bearing and calmness of an aristocratic daughter.

Soon, the main courtyard arrived.

Mrs. Li didn't take the air. When the maid said that the guests had arrived, she came out of the room with a smile and received Mrs. Zhu and the three in the courtyard.

After a few words of courtesy, Mrs. Li led the three into the room.

"This is my niece, thanks to the help of the eldest girl on the Dragon Boat Festival." Mrs. Zhu pushed Zhu Qiyun out with a smile.

Zhu Qiyun stepped forward calmly, and gave Mrs. Li a proper salute: "Qiyun greets Mrs.

Mrs. Li looked at Zhu Qiyun with a smile, and then quickly motioned her to get up. She smiled and said to Mrs. Zhu and Fourth Mrs. Zhu, "What a gentle and lovely girl."

Seeing that Mrs. Li had a good opinion of her daughter, Fourth Madam Zhu felt a little relieved, and took over the words with a smile: "This girl in my family is far inferior to Miss Yan, she is really a person of Zhong Lingyuxiu. I watched it in Guankoulou that day. To the big girl, it really surprised me for a while."

Some people praised their daughters. Mothers are always happy. Mrs. Li was a little more entertaining. She talked about her own children with Mrs. Zhu and Fourth Mrs. Zhu, and the atmosphere was not bad.

Zhu Qiyun smiled and sat aside, although her face was calm, her heart had already fallen to the bottom of the valley.

Although Mrs. Li was warm and thoughtful, she had no plans to take them to see the old lady of the Yan family, nor did she send anyone to call the girls in the mansion to come out to meet the guests. It can be seen that they did not pay much attention to their arrival.

Just when Zhu Qiyun was worried, a maid came to report, "Madam, the eldest girl is here."

Hearing this, the smile on Mrs. Li's face immediately became real, and she said with a smile, "I just asked that girl to tidy up the warehouse, and I couldn't greet you, so don't blame me."

Mrs. Zhu said happily: "What did Mrs. say, we took the liberty to visit the door, it was we who disturbed it."

Mrs. Li smiled and shook her head, thinking to herself, this Fourth Mrs. Zhu can speak better than Mrs. Zhu, and is much easier to get along with.

Soon, the door curtain was lifted, and Dao Hua in a pale green dress walked in smilingly.

Seeing Mrs. Zhu and Fourth Mrs. Zhu sitting in the room, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings to the two ladies, Yiyi is late, and I also ask the ladies to forgive me."

Fourth Madam Zhu hurriedly smiled and said, "Mrs. please get up."

Daohua smiled and let the maid behind her bring the chilled watermelon, and then walked to Zhu Qiyun and sat down with a smile: "After the Dragon Boat Festival farewell, how is Miss Zhu?"

Zhu Qiyun smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, I am all right, just call me Qiyun by Miss Yan."

Daohua said: "Okay, then don't call me Miss Yan, call me Yiyi."

Seeing that her daughter and the eldest girl of the Yan family had a good conversation, Fourth Madam Zhu was relieved again, and smiled and asked the maid to take out the prepared gift.

Seeing the gift brought by Fourth Madam Zhu, Madam Li's eyelids couldn't help but jump, and even Madam Zhu's eyes flashed with surprise.

So precious!

Fourth Madam Zhu said gratefully: "My family Qiyun wore the clothes of a big girl that day, and now it's not easy to come back. This is my little care, and I hope Madam will accept it with a smile."

Mrs. Li recovered from the shock, shook her head and said, "It's too precious, we can't accept it."

The Fourth Madam Zhu hurriedly said that it was not a valuable thing, and then looked at Madam Zhu again, hoping that she would help to speak.

Mrs. Zhu looked at the three-day orphan, and felt a little annoyed. There was such a good thing in the fourth room, and she didn't even reveal it before.

Angered in his heart, he ignored Fourth Madam Zhu's cry for help.

Fourth Madam Zhu had to persuade Madam Li to accept it.

Daohua glanced at the gifts with the labels written on them, even the people in the second and third rooms, her eyes flashed, and she turned to look at Zhu Qiyun, seeing her hands together, thinking of her current situation, and again. Thinking that the second brother was talking about kissing everywhere, after a little thought, I understood why the Fourth Madam Zhu gave such an expensive gift.

Seeing the nervousness in Zhu Qiyun's eyes, Daohua sighed in her heart and said to Mrs. Li with a smile, "Mother, grandma should take a nap."

Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter in surprise, she didn't plan to take the Zhu family to see the old lady, but her daughter brought it up, she didn't want to lose face, and smiled: "If you two don't dislike the trouble, just follow me. Go see the old lady."

Fourth Madam Zhu said happily: "What did Madam say? We are juniors, so we should go to see the old lady."

Looking at the happy fourth lady Zhu, Mrs. Li seemed to understand the purpose of their visit this time, and her eyes quickly turned to Zhu Qiyun.

This girl looks pretty good, but the second brother and the second sibling may not like it.

As her thoughts turned, Mrs. Li had already stood up with a smile and took Mrs. Zhu and Fourth Mrs. Zhu out the door.

Daohua quickly pulled up Zhu Qiyun to follow.

On the way, Zhu Qiyun looked at Daohua hesitantly, but finally said nothing.

Daohua didn't say anything. She was very sympathetic to Zhu Qiyun's experience, but she wouldn't interfere with the second house because of it. Now it's just giving her a chance. Whether she can make her second uncle and second aunt take a fancy to her depends on it. her own.

Soon, the group came to the old lady's yard.

The old lady met Mrs. Zhu and the three of them very enthusiastically, and she praised the dignified and decent Zhu Qiyun generously.

Knowing that the old lady had guests here, Mrs Sun and Mrs Wu arrived shortly after.

Seeing the Sun, Fourth Madam Zhu immediately cheered up, even Zhu Qiyun also straightened her back secretly.

Seeing the mother and daughter like this, Mrs. Li became more and more sure of her guess.

However, she didn't know much about the situation of the Zhu family, so she didn't speak out.

Fourth Madam Zhu is also a capable person. When everyone was chatting, she quietly shifted the topic to the Zhu family, focusing on the situation of their room.

"My master passed away four years ago, and Qiyun stayed at home to keep filial piety, so I hardly ever came out to attend a banquet or anything in these years."

"My master was the vice president of Wangyue Academy before his death, and he devoted his life to teaching students. My son who was incompetent was admitted to Tongsheng at the age of ten, but unfortunately his heart was sad because of his father's death, and his health has been a little bad for the past two years. , so I can't continue to refer to it."

"My master is a man who loves his children. He prepared a generous dowry for Qiyun early on. He taught throughout his life and accumulated tens of thousands of books and calligraphy and paintings. He said that when his daughter gets married, he will use half of it as a dowry."

Hearing these words, Sun's eyes lit up, and from the moment Fourth Madam Zhu turned the topic to Zhu Qiyun, she knew in her heart that this person was interested in her son.
