There is Room For the Poor Daughter

The Han family came to see their relatives, the second master of the Han family and the eldest son of the Han family, and the three met Han Xinran and Yan Wenxiu, who had returned from three dynasties, in the inn under the package.

Seeing that the second uncle and the elder brother had taken away the second brother-in-law, the eldest grandmother of the Han family hurriedly dragged Han Xinran into private conversation: "How is it, how is the brother-in-law treating you?"

Thinking of Xianggong's thoughtfulness and tenderness, Han Xinran lowered her head in shame.

When Grandma Han saw her like this, there was nothing she didn't understand. She immediately joked a few words, and then asked, "What about the Yan family, how do they get along? Especially your mother-in-law."

Han Xinran quickly explained the situation of the Yan family: "Mother-in-law is easy to get along with, she didn't set rules for me, and she didn't use words to pressure me; the old lady was also very kind and treated me well; although father-in-law was a little stern, but It's right and wrong. As for the people in the second and third rooms, it's not bad."

Hearing this, Grandma Han was relieved and said with a smile: "So it seems that the Yan family is a well-rounded family, although our family intended to marry the Yan family, but you are a girl from the Earl's House. The Yan family is getting married, so if they want to pinch you, it's a bit unreasonable."

"Before going out, my mother was very worried, worried that the Yan family did not understand the rules and would bully you who were married far away. You must know that Mrs. Yan used to be a village woman, and your mother-in-law came from a family of merchants. They can understand something. what."

"But now, it seems that we are worrying in vain. Your father-in-law can climb to the current position, and the back house must have contributed. It's good to know the rules. People who don't have rules will be a cloud of smoke."

Han Xinran nodded. In fact, when she got engaged, she was very worried. Most of the merchants' homes had no rules, and she was worried that she would meet a mother-in-law who was rambunctious.

Grandma Han added: "Second sister, although you are married, you can't disrespect your elders because of this. Old Madam Yan and your mother-in-law have shown kindness to you now, so you must know how to be grateful. Don’t be arrogant and arrogant, it’s absolutely essential to greet each other every day.”

Han Xinran nodded again and again: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I know all this."

Seeing that she had listened to her own words, Grandma Han's eyebrows could not help stretching: "By the way, there are a few girls in the Yan family, how are they?"

Thinking of Daohua and Yan Yihuan, Han Xinran immediately smiled and said, "The girls in the Yan family are all good, especially the younger sister of the husband, who looks and looks first-class, not inferior to the noble girls in the capital."

"In the past two days, Xianggong also told me about the situation of a few younger sisters. They have been studying with the female master, and the content of learning is no less than that of our girls."

Grandma Han raised her eyebrows: "Is that so? The Yan family has made so much effort to nurture their daughters that they want to use it for marriage. But think about it, the Yan family was born in a poor family, and the foundation is too weak. Marriage is the fastest way to enhance the family heritage. The means, of course, will not be spared.”

Han Xinran didn't answer. She knew too little about the Yan family's situation, so she couldn't make any decisions.

After that, the two talked about other things. After lunch, when Han Xinran was going to follow Yan Wenxiu back to Yan's house, Grandma Han said reluctantly: "Tomorrow we are leaving for Beijing, you are here alone, but Take good care of yourself. If you are wronged, don't hold back. Now that the title of our family is still there, and my father is still an uncle, I can always stand up for you."

She was very sympathetic to this younger sister who married far away. If it weren't for the fact that the Earl's Mansion had become worse and worse over the years, how would a girl from the Han family need to marry so far.

Han Xinran nodded with red eyes: "Sister-in-law and eldest brother be careful along the way."

Grandma Han clapped her hand, and in order to ease her sadness, she said with a smile, "Maybe we will meet soon. Your father-in-law has a good record, and it is not impossible for you to be transferred to Beijing."

Hearing this, Han Xinran looked more hopeful: "I hope so."

After sister-in-law Han Xinran returned to the door three times, Daohua was ready to return to Taohua Village.

Mrs. Li helped to pack her things without showing any signs. She understood that her daughter had filial piety on her body, so it was not good to stay at home more: "Your second brother gets married in July, come back early then."

Daohua smiled and nodded: "Our family has so many happy events this year."

Mrs. Li said helplessly: "Isn't it? Fortunately, your fourth brother went to Northern Xinjiang. Otherwise, the marriage of your three brothers and sisters might have been arranged this year."

Daohua stopped talking when she saw that she was also taken in.

Mrs. Li: "Okay, mother won't let you anymore, go out early, your master is old, and it's uneasy to live alone."

Immediately, Daohua followed Mrs. Li to say goodbye to Mrs. Yan, and then went out, but when she boarded the carriage at the door, she saw Steward Sun who was in a hurry.

"Butler Sun!"

Because of the urgent matter, Butler Sun didn't want to pay attention to it, but seeing that it was Daohua, he had to stop: "Eldest girl."

Daohua looked at Steward Sun with a smile: "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Butler Sun didn't hide it: "The Jiang family came to report the case, saying that they had caught a few of the Eight Kings' henchmen, and the little one is rushing to tell the master."

When Daohua heard that it was serious business, she quickly said, "Then go find your father."

Butler Sun nodded and left quickly.

Daohua pondered for a while, but did not rush to leave, and called Yan Ying to inquire about the situation.

Soon, Yan Ying came back.

"There was another assassin who touched Jiang's house last night. It may be that the fighting was too loud, which alerted the surrounding residents and Guo's house. The Jiang's house was guarded by experts from the inner family, and the assassins were all killed soon after."

"The reason why the Jiang family came to report the case was because an assassin shouted "Jiang Zhengyuan took things from the Eight Kings" before he died.

Seeing Daohua frowning, Yan Ying said again: "Don't worry, girl, when your subordinates came back, the adults have already sent someone to the provincial government to report to the governor. If you want to come soon, someone will come to take over."

Hearing this, Daohua's brows stretched. Jiang's direct supervisor was the political envoy. When something happened, it was not her father's turn to take care of her. Knowing that her family would not be implicated, she ordered the carriage to leave.

After exiting the city gate, Daohua called Yan Ying again: "Take Gou Xiaoer and Gou Xiaosan to the place where the Eight Kings Party Yu was killed." After speaking, she paused for a moment.

"Assassins found Jiang's family again and again, it must be that the two people left something valuable before, otherwise they would not be so eager to chase."

Yan Ying said, "Deshou has already sent someone to look for the place where the two were killed, but nothing was found."

Daohua: ". Let's look for it again. It's best if you have it. It doesn't cost much if you don't have it."

Yan Ying didn't say much, and left quickly with the two hounds.

Daohua didn't wait for him, and when he arrived at the pier, he took a boat directly to Taohua Village.

Taohua Temple.

As soon as Daohua and Gu Jian had lunch, Yan Ying came back with two hunting dogs.

"Girl, I really found a burden." Yan Ying was a little excited. He found that the seven hunting dogs raised by the girl were very good at finding things.

Daohua came to the spirit: "What is it? Come and let me see."

Yan Ying handed over the burden.

Daohua quickly opened the burden, and soon, the Jasper Dragon New Seal, which had been smashed into two halves, appeared in her sight.

Gu Jian saw it, his face changed immediately, and he took the jasper dragon new seal and looked at it: "Where did you find this?"

Yan Ying quickly explained the matter again.

Daohua glanced at Gu Jian's face and asked, "Master, do you know this seal?"

Gu Jian nodded: "This is the jasper dragon seal that the late emperor specially asked someone to carve for the Eight Kings." He said with a sarcastic smile.

"The first emperor really doted on this son. He knew that only the emperor could use the dragon-shaped pattern, but he gave the eight kings such a seal. Since then, this jasper dragon seal has become a symbol of the eight kings' status."

Gu Jian glanced at the seal and sneered: "Unfortunately, this jade dragon seal has been broken in half."

Daohua didn't expect the seal to be so big: "It's no wonder that the Eight Kings are holding on to the Jiang family. However, the Eight Kings have given such important things to outsiders for safekeeping. He is also big-hearted."

Gu Jian snorted coldly, "Otherwise, how could the ancients have the anger to talk about it? The Eight Kings' anger is exhausted."

Daohua looked at the Jasper Dragon New Seal and asked, "Does this need to be handed in?"

Gu Jian snorted: "No need. To the Eight Kings, this thing is a status symbol. To the emperor, it is just a piece of broken jade, and it has no effect."

Daohua showed regret, she thought she could make a contribution.

Gu Jian then sarcastically said: "The Jiang family is really able to bend and stretch. They have such a big blood and sweat feud with the Wan family, but they can still mix it together. I don't know if the queen mother in the palace knows, will she be mad."
