There is Room For the Poor Daughter

"Wenxiu, you guys have a good rest today, tomorrow Second Uncle will come and take you to Fucheng for a good stroll!"

After the yard was moved, officials came to visit Yan Zhigao one after another. Li Xingchang and Li Xingnian didn't want to stay longer. After talking for a while, they were about to leave.

Yan Zhigao wanted to receive other officials, so it fell to Yan Wenxiu, the eldest son.

Yan Wenxiu knew that his younger siblings were active, so he wanted to visit the palace for a long time, so he smiled and thanked: "Then there is Uncle Lao."

Li Xingnian patted Yan Wenxiu on the shoulder: "What are you talking about, you, you have been so polite since you were a child, who are we, your uncle, shouldn't you do something for you?"

Saying that, he sighed.

"You, don't push yourself too hard, and don't put too much pressure on yourself. Studying is important, but you have to play. Now everything at home is handled by your father, so you don't need to worry about it. "

Hearing such caring words, Yan Wenxiu said in his heart that he was not moved, but it was a lie, but the introverted nature he developed since childhood made him not know how to express it, so he just nodded silently.

Li Xingchang smiled and said, "I came here this time to take you home to live, but looking at the current situation, I'm afraid you won't be able to go."

Yan Wenxiu smiled: "Father said he would come to visit when he was done."

Li Xingnian shook his head: "You guys probably don't have time this time, you can only wait until the next time."

Li Xingchang: "Go back, I just took a look, there are a lot of officials here, don't care what purpose they all have, just follow your father to see more, this will see more people, it's good to do academics, and to behave in the world. Either way, it’s all very beneficial.”

Yan Wenxiu listened attentively. Although the eldest uncle and the second uncle were businessmen, he still respected them very much, and he would keep everything they said in his heart.

The two sides said goodbye at the entrance of the inn. Yan Wenxiu wanted to wait for Li Xingchang and Li Xingnian to get on the carriage before leaving, but the two refused and let him go first.

It was not until Yan Wenxiu's back could be seen that Brother Li Xingchang walked towards his carriage.

In Fucheng, a lot of news spread very quickly, and there were a lot of pedestrians at the entrance of the station. No, it was soon known that the Li brothers and the Yan family were in-laws.

The moment the two got into the carriage, they were greeted by many people.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that the grand master of Wanjin Building would take the initiative to greet us?" Li Xingnian laughed playfully as he got on the carriage.

The Li family's business in Fucheng is not very big, and there is no strong relationship behind it. It can only be regarded as a third-rate businessman. However, the Sun family behind Wanjinlou is one of the top merchants in Zhongzhou.

In normal times, the Li family came to ask for a meeting, and I was afraid that even the shadow of the grand master Sun would not be seen.

Li Xingchang lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked at the liveliness at the entrance of the station with a serious expression: "This time, for the Yan family, I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse?"

Li Xingnian understands his elder brother's concern. The owner of the unicorn jade pendant is too high. The Yan family is a poor family with no foundation, and if he is not careful, he may become a victim of the power struggle.

However, thinking of his niece's nimble and cunning eyes, he smiled and said, "It's not a disaster. I think that Daohua girl is very smart. If the jade pendant is hot, she won't take it."

Hearing this, Li Xingchang also smiled: "That girl looks like a younger sister. In recent years, my younger sister has not had a good time at Yan's family. However, I heard that Daohua was very angry for her sister after she went to Linyi County."

The smiles on Li Xingnian's face increased: "That tough temper is like me."

Li Xingchang glanced at his eldest second brother: "Daohua is a girl. If she is really like you, my sister should have a headache."

Li Xingnian disagreed: "I think it's good. I'm tough and I won't be bullied. My sister is just too virtuous, and she will be trampled on by a concubine all these years."

"Hey" Li Xingchang sighed, "She is also for our Li family, and it's not that you don't know about Gao's attitude towards businessmen."

Li Xingnian snorted coldly: "Pedantism! Without our merchants, how would things be circulated and traded everywhere? I think some people are stupid!"

"The world is so popular, you don't have to say a few words."

In the next few days, Yan Zhigao was either in the mansion or invited by other officials as guests; and Daohua and the others, accompanied by Li Xingnian, wandered around the mansion.

During this period, Li Xingnian was responsive to the little ones, but he bought them everything they liked. Even Yan Wentao also got a lot of gifts, which made him very embarrassed.

Eating people with short mouths and short hands makes Daohua a little uncomfortable, so he can only say good things: "Second uncle, you are so kind, originally I also brought gifts to my uncles, aunts, cousins ​​and cousins ​​this time. Yes, who knew it was damaged by someone."

Li Xingnian knew about this. If it wasn't for the purpose of retrieving the potted plants that were to be given to them, Daohua would not be able to match up with the young master of Fanzhou.

"Next time, you can't be so reckless. Fucheng is no better than Linyi County, nor your hometown in the countryside. There are more noble people here, and you have no idea who you will meet."

"You are lucky this time, and you met a noble person. Otherwise, if you offend the son of Zhizhou, even your father will follow him."

Daohua sighed: "Second uncle, don't worry, I will clamp my tail and be a man in the future."

Seeing her acting weird, Li Xingnian nodded her head. After a few days of contact, he knew that this niece was small, but he was already very measured, so he didn't say anything more.

At the same time, the Chief Commissioner of Zhongzhou City.

This debriefing was the smoothest for Yan Zhigao.

In the past, every time he came here, he would be made difficult by a lot, but this time, let alone making things difficult, even his immediate superiors were kind to him.

He knew that these were all because of the noble son whom the eldest daughter had saved.

Over the past few days, he has inquired a lot, although he did not get the exact information, but he also knew that the young master was with King Rui at the moment.

Prince?

Or the son of King Rui?

Yan Zhigao didn't dare to think too much. At this moment, his mood was extremely unstable, and he had a hunch that this time, he was afraid that he would really go up.

The main hall of Si Ya.

Political envoy Dong Jiancheng is looking at Yan Zhigao's political achievements over the years.

The eldest son informed him of what happened at the inn that day.

Although he still didn't know what the relationship between the little prince and the young master of the Yan family was, after that, Prince Rui had personally instructed him that if Yan Zhigao was a practical man, he should be mentioned.

The prince has spoken, and it is definitely necessary to mention it, but how to mention it, and how much to mention it, makes it a little difficult for him.

"This Yan Zhigao's political achievements are good, why hasn't he improved?" Dong Jiancheng was a little puzzled.

The official next to him smiled and said, "Your Excellency may not know that this Yan Zhigao is an arrogant and ignorant person. When he was transferred to Zhongzhou Province back then, he offended Senator Du."

After that, the official did not say anything, and Dong Jiancheng also knew it.

Dong Jiancheng didn't say anything. He was sent to Zhongzhou Province, and he would return to Beijing when his term expired. He didn't want to get involved in the fight between local officials at all. He just asked, "Where do you think he should be mentioned? ?"

The official smiled: "Of course, where it is beneficial to adults, it will be transferred to where it is."

Dong Jiancheng smiled with satisfaction, but the smile on his face soon disappeared: "Little Wang Ye doesn't want to go back to Beijing, and is now arguing with Rui Wang. Yan Zhigao's promotion cannot be too high or too low."

"In this way, let's be promoted to Zhizhou from the fifth rank. If you go up to the third level, it can also be considered to be the face of the prince and the love of the young prince. Look where there are vacancies in the Zhizhou, choose the one that is neither superior nor inferior to Yan Zhi. high."

"Subordinate to obey!"
