There is Room For the Poor Daughter

After the Dong family left, Daohua was in a low mood for a few days. After that, she followed Mrs. Li every day, checking the accounts, and preparing for the end of the year.

After reconciling the accounts, looking at the increasing wealth of the Yan family, the smile on Mrs. Li's face became deeper and deeper: "Before, I learned that your father took over as the prefect of Ningmen House, and your mother is still the boss. I do."

"Ningmen House is vast and sparsely populated. Most of the counties under its jurisdiction are barren, and the people are poor and difficult to manage. But thinking about it now, coming here is the most suitable for our family."

With a vast land and few people, they can buy more villages and fields.

It may not be cost-effective to buy from other people, but their families have high-yielding grains and buy fields, almost all of which are guaranteed to make a profit.

Thinking of the origin of grain seeds, Mrs. Li looked at the rice flowers lovingly. The old lady said it right, her daughter is from a prosperous family.

Seeing Mrs. Li staring at her, Daohua smiled and asked, "Mother, why are you looking at your daughter like this?"

Mrs. Li smiled and patted the ledger on the table: "With the current family business, my mother can also prepare a decent dowry for you."

The smile on Daohua's face stagnated.

Having witnessed with her own eyes that the third brother and Jingwan were forced to separate, and then saw Yuan Yao and Sun Changze eloping, she deeply realized that in this ancient times with strict etiquette, free love was not allowed in the world.

Obviously it is their own lifelong event, but they can't do anything.

Xiao Yeyang. The shackles on him are more and heavier. Can she and him have a future?

The busyness of each day makes time pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it will be New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, the Yan family gathered in Mrs. Yan's yard for breakfast.

Just after breakfast, when everyone was chatting happily, Wang Man'er suddenly hurried to Daohua's side and said to her in a low voice, "Girl, Dongli is here."

Hearing this, Daohua was stunned for a moment, why did Dongli come to her at this time? Worried that something would happen to my master and mother-in-law, I told Mrs. Li and quickly left the house.

Soon, I saw Dongli at the Chuihuamen.

As soon as he saw Daohua, Dongli said eagerly, "Girl, the old lady's old disease has relapsed again."

Daohua's face sank: "What's the matter? My mother-in-law was obviously fine when I went to give the New Year's gift two days ago."

Dong Li hesitated and said, "Just the day before yesterday, the little prince came to Taohua Temple to pick up the old man, and then the old lady fell ill."

Daohua looked surprised: "Master and Xiao Yeyang left? Where did they go?"

Dong Li lowered his head and said nothing.

Daohua frowned: "Master has left, who is taking care of the mother-in-law now?"

Dong Li said quickly, "Chrysanthemum is taking care of me."

Daohua pondered for a while: "You wait here, I'll talk to my family, and then go to Taohua Village with you."

I heard that Granny Gu was ill, and Gu Jian went out again. Mrs. Li did not stop Daohua and asked her to rush over to take care of the people.

Taohua Temple.

When Daohua came over, Granny Gu was lying on the bed with a high fever. Picking chrysanthemum was so anxious that she almost cried. Seeing Daohua was like seeing a savior.

"Mother-in-law!"

Daohua lay beside the bed and whispered softly, but Granny Gu was already burnt out, and she mumbled something indistinctly.

Seeing Daohua, she hurriedly cooled her down and prescribed a fever-reducing prescription, and asked Caiju to boil the medicine.

After working for a long time, Granny Gu's fever subsided.

Daohua breathed a sigh of relief, and went to the pharmacy again to find out the prescription Gu Jian had previously given to Granny Gu to treat her old illness, and boiled the medicine according to the prescription.

After Granny Gu drank the medicine, she fell asleep smoothly.

At this time, it was already on the branches.

Daohua asked Wang Maner to guard Granny Gu in the room, and then went to the main room to meet Caiju and Dongli.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Caiju and Dongli looked at each other, and finally Caiju said, "Girl, we really don't know, the little prince came in a hurry the day before yesterday, and we didn't hear what he said to the old master."

Dao Hua frowned at the two of them for a long time, but couldn't see anything from their faces, and finally asked: "Since Xiao Yeyang took away the master, then there should be nothing wrong. , how could my mother-in-law have a recurrence of her old illness? Is she so sick all of a sudden?"

Cai Ju and Dong Li immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "It's the young lady who didn't take good care of the old lady, please punish the girl."

Looking at the two people who were kowtowing with 'bang bang bang' and looking guilty and remorseful, Daohua's eyes narrowed, she always felt that the two were hiding something from her, but they both gritted their teeth, and she couldn't, only I can go back to my room to take care of Granny Gu.

The next morning, the first day of the new year, Daohua asked Wang Man'er to go back to Ningmen Mansion to inquire about the situation.

In the evening, Wang Man'er came back.

"Girl, on your birthday, you said that the little prince has returned to Beijing. For the rest, no matter what the servants ask, he didn't say a word."

Daohua frowned: "Return to Beijing?" She also brought her master with her.

The only thing Master can help Xiao Yeyang is his medical skills. Could it be that he was brought to Beijing to treat people?

But if this is the case, the mother-in-law should not be anxious to relapse.

Obviously, the mother-in-law's illness this time is because of too much thinking and urgency.

Knowing too little information, Daohua can't figure it out, so she can only take care of Granny Gu with all her heart.

However, Granny Gu's illness was repeated, and no matter how Daohua comforted her, she couldn't let her go, but in just half a month, she lost a lot of weight.

Seeing the grumpy old granny Gu, Daohua was also anxious. She was afraid that she would continue like this. Before the master came back, Granny Gu would not be able to support it any longer.

"Man'er, you go back to Ningmen Mansion again, and let Deshou send a letter to Xiao Yeyang, telling Xiao Yeyang's mother-in-law that she is ill, and ask him to bring Master back quickly."

Wang Man'er hurried away.

When Caiju and Dongli met, they silently went about their own business and said nothing. In fact, they sent a message to the capital as early as the first time Granny Gu fell ill.

It has been half a month, and the old master and the little prince have not come back. It must be that the emperor's situation is more critical.

This time, Wang Man'er returned to Ningmen Mansion and brought back some exciting news to Daohua.

"The eight kings conspired against him, and when the emperor went to the emperor's tomb to worship his ancestors, he sent assassins to assassinate the emperor."

Daohua was shocked, and asked eagerly: "Is the emperor okay? Also, what about the eight kings, has the eight kings been caught?"

Wang Man'er: "The eight kings escaped, and the emperor seems to be injured."

Daohua frowned in thought.

Xiao Yeyang hurriedly left and took his master back to Beijing, apparently to save the emperor.

Thinking of this, Daohua's brows furrowed even tighter. The time to save the emperor must not be short, so the master would not be able to come back in a short time.

"Little Five."

When Daohua went to give medicine to Granny Gu, she heard her muffled low voice again.

But this time she finally heard clearly.

Little five?

Fifth Master?

Is the mother-in-law worried about the fifth master?

"Cough cough~"

Granny Gu coughed violently.

Daohua quickly patted her on the back, smooth.

"Pfft~"

Suddenly, Granny Gu coughed out a mouthful of blood.

When Caiju saw it, the medicine bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a 'bangdang'.

Daohua was also startled by Granny Gu's vomiting blood, and while wiping her blood, she thought quickly, and between the sparks of calcium carbide, she quickly made up a lie: "Mother-in-law, Xiao Yeyang just wrote to me, saying that Fifth Master is fine, Master and him will be back in a few days."

Sure enough, when she heard this, Granny Gu's turbid eyes suddenly lit up, her breathing was not so severe, and her dry hands clung to the rice flowers: "Really?"

Seeing the eagerness and hope in Granny Gu's eyes, Daohua swallowed her saliva, and then nodded affirmatively: "Really." After saying that, she supported her on her shoulder and asked Wang Man'er to bring water to rinse her mouth first. , and then quickly scooped a spoonful of medicine and handed it to her mouth.

"Mother-in-law, master will be back soon, but you can't let him see that you are sick, or he will definitely worry again, let's drink the medicine."

Granny Gu pulled out a smile and nodded.

After listening to Daohua's lies, Granny Gu felt much better, but she coughed violently every night, and every time she coughed, she vomited blood.

This scene made Daohua, picking chrysanthemums, and Dongli extremely heavy.
