There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Back at Yan's house, Daohua first went to see Mrs. Yan and left some lychees. Wang Man'er sent the rest to the main courtyard to be distributed by Mrs. Li to others, while she went back to her own courtyard and put the seeds planted in space.

"Bi Shi, go and find me a porcelain basin. By the way, ask Gu Yu to clean up a room and come out."

The growth environment of the pith grass is harsh, she can't do nothing, and then come out with the good pit grass for no reason, and she still has to do it if necessary.

After the house was tidied up, Daohua asked Yan Shouhou to go to the mountains, forests, and some fertile places to collect some soil, and then took out some soil from the space, and then mixed the various soils together. into the china basin.

After that, put ice cubes in the room to adjust the indoor temperature.

After doing this, I was busy for several days.

However, Daohua is quite satisfied. With these foundations, she also has something to say when someone asks how she grows meridian.

In view of the rarity and preciousness of the pith grass, Daohua also took a notebook to record how many times of watering, how much ice, and the time of sun exposure and ventilation every day.

Since Mrs. Guo and her daughter came, Governor Guo has returned to Ningmen Mansion more often. In mid-July, Xiao Yeyang learned that Governor Guo was in the mansion. Meet me with a basket of lychees.

When Mrs. Guo saw that Xiao Yeyang brought so many lychees, the smile on her face increased. She and her daughter both love to eat lychees. In previous years, it was difficult for them to eat them in the capital.

"Xue Ming, quickly serve your cousin Yeyang tea." Mrs. Guo motioned her daughter to take the initiative, and then smiled at Xiao Yeyang, "I haven't seen you for a few years, Yeyang is more and more promising now, so rare You can get so much fruit."

Xiao Yeyang smiled lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that when we transported Liuli to the south, I brought some back."

Mrs. Guo smiled and said, "You are already in charge of a Liuli Factory at your age, which is already very powerful. Unlike your two cousins, there are still no serious errands."

Hearing this, Governor Guo on the side was unhappy: "Why are Jing Hua and Jing Yi not working on their errands? Didn't the two of them do a good job in the Wucheng Military and Horse Command Division?"

Mrs. Guo snorted: "What kind of errand is that, one is from the sixth grade and the other is from the seventh grade, I am too embarrassed to say it."

Governor Guo was silent: "The five-city military command department is responsible for the safety of the capital, and the responsibility is heavy. How can it be measured at a single level?"

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Mrs. Guo and Governor Guo, and knew in his heart that Duke Dingguo's prestige in the army was too high, and the royal uncle would not allow the Guo family to stay in high positions all the time.

When the Guo family reaches the generation of uncle, they should gradually retire. Like their cousins, their future official positions should not exceed the third rank.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang playing with the teacup, Guo Xueming asked with a smile, "Cousin Yeyang, what are you usually busy with?"

Xiao Yeyang said casually: "It's nothing, just running around."

Mrs. Guo glanced at her daughter and took over: "Since you are not very busy, you should come to sit at home more often. You have been away from Beijing for many years, and it happens that Xueming will eat a lot of food in Beijing, so I asked her to give it to her. You do it." Saying that, he quickly glanced at Governor Guo and motioned for him to help.

Governor Guo received the signal and hurriedly said with a smile: "Yes, come to the house for a walk in the future."

Xiao Yeyang got up and saluted: "Although I usually deal with some trivial matters, but these matters are inseparable from me. I hope my uncle and aunt will forgive me."

Seeing Xiao Yeyang's rejection, the smile on Mrs. Guo's face was a little stiff, and Guo Xueming was also a little disappointed.

Governor Guo didn't care. He knew that his nephew's job was not just to manage a Liulichang, and he immediately smiled: "It's important to do business, but you should come to see your aunt and cousin more when you are free."

Xiao Yeyang just nodded casually and did not answer.

After that, the four chatted about something else.

Halfway through, Mrs. Guo found an excuse to pull Governor Guo away, leaving only Xiao Yeyang and Guo Xueming in the living room.

Guo Xueming thought of the news he got not long ago and asked, "Cousin Yeyang, Ma's son is getting married next month, do you know this?"

Xiao Yeyang frowned slightly, and said "Oh" indifferently.

Guo Xueming was silent for a while, then said tentatively, "Cousin Yeyang, I know you are angry with Ma Shi and Xiao Yechen, but I think you should write a letter back to congratulate you."

Xiao Yeyang's face suddenly sank, his voice was a little cold, and he sneered: "Cousin asked me to congratulate Xiao Yechen?"

Seeing that Xiao Yeyang's face changed directly, Guo Xueming was stunned for a moment, but quickly calmed down: "I didn't want you to congratulate Xiao Yechen, I just think you should act like a prince and let Prince Ping and the world see, so as not to be caught. Take the excuse and say that you are ignorant of etiquette."

It stands to reason that the eldest brother married cousin Ye Yang should return to Beijing, but this may be a bit difficult.

Seeing that Xiao Yeyang's face was getting more and more ugly, Guo Xueming felt that he was doing it for his own good, and the advice was disgusting, so he continued:

"Cousin Yeyang, I know you may not like to hear what I say, but I really do it for your own good. You are far away from the capital, and you are already estranged from the Prince of Peace. If you don't keep in touch, how can the relationship between your father and son be possible? Repair?"

"This time Xiao Yechen's marriage is a good opportunity. If you write a letter to congratulate and greet Prince Ping by the way, I think Prince Ping will be very happy, and let everyone in the capital see your bearing, and wait for you in the future. Back in Beijing, Prince Ping will not be too biased towards Xiao Yechen when it comes to the succession of the royal title."

The more Xiao Yeyang listened, the more angry he became, and he didn't bother to care about Guo Xueming's face, so he stood up with a snort, and sneered: "It turns out that my cousin likes to worry about other people's affairs so much, but how can I talk to me? The father and the Ma's mother and son get along, so I won't bother you."

After speaking, he ignored Guo Xueming, who was stunned, and turned around and walked out of the living room.

Mrs. Guo and Governor Guo heard the maid say that Xiao Yeyang and Guo Xueming had quarreled for some reason, so they hurried over, just in time to see Xiao Yeyang who was striding out.

"Yeyang, I asked the servants to prepare lunch. Let's have a few drinks at noon today." Governor Guo stopped Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang turned around, bowed his body and said, "Uncle, I still have something to do. Next time, I will prepare food and drink and go to the military camp to find you."

Seeing that Xiao Yeyang had decided to leave, Governor Guo did not force him to stay, but said, "Your cousin is used to being spoiled by your two cousins. If she offends you in any way, for the sake of uncle, don't take it to heart. ."

Xiao Yeyang's expression improved: "Uncle is serious, then I'll go first."

After watching Xiao Yeyang leave, Governor Guo turned around and entered the living room. Then he saw his daughter who was shaking her handkerchief and blushing with shame. , I see that his face is really bad?"

Guo Xueming blushed. She had never been so faceless when she was so old. She never thought that cousin Ye Yang would turn his face when he said he would turn his face. He really didn't give her any face.

After a long silence, Guo Xueming said a little aggrieved: "Daughter didn't say anything, just mentioned Xiao Yechen's marriage, and wanted him to write back to congratulate him, and by the way, greet Prince Ping."

Upon hearing this, Governor Guo slapped his thigh abruptly: "I said why Ye Yang's face is so ugly." After speaking, he looked at Guo Xueming, "You kid, tell him what to do with this. You don't know how much Ye Yang hates Ma's mother and son, asking him to congratulate Xiao Yechen, isn't this inserting a knife into his heart?"

Mrs. Guo was not happy anymore: "My daughter is also for Ye Yang, why should Prince Ping be so stiff all the time? Now that Prince Ping has two direct sons, if Ye Yang doesn't bow his head first, he will not have a title in the palace in the future. portion."

Governor Guo sighed: "How can Ye Yang's heart knot for Prince Ping be solved by explaining it?"

Mrs. Guo snorted: "Even so, Ye Yang shouldn't let Xueming be so shameless. He really has no manners at all. It's a good thing I thought he was a good person before."

Governor Guo looked at his daughter: "Today you are a little rash."

Guo Xueming looked at Governor Guo in surprise.

Governor Guo explained: "Although you and Ye Yang are cousins, they don't have much affection between them. Ye Yang's temperament is inherently rebellious. If you persuade him as soon as you come up, he will naturally not give you a good face."

Guo Xueming lowered his head: "It's my daughter's fault."

Seeing that his daughter had heard it, Governor Guo nodded.

However, Mrs. Guo said, "I think it's because Yeyang has no elders in charge over the years that he has developed his temperament to get angry when he is persuaded by others. If he doesn't know how to restrain himself, what will happen to him when he returns to Beijing in the future?"
