There is Room For the Poor Daughter

The emperor was unwilling to endure the Jiang family any longer, which disturbed the minds of many officials in the court. The party headed by the Jiang family has also become undercurrent.

Originally, Jiang Jinghui wanted to make a guilt and meritorious service by receiving the Xiliao embassy and re-run the errand, but officials from other parties participated in a book because the Western Suburb Post House lost the horses brought by the Xiliao people.

This time, Jiang Jinghui could only be forced to quit his job at home.

On the first day of August, Daohua's birthday.

This time is Daohua's last birthday at home. Mrs. Li wanted to do something big, but she thought that Jiang Wanying had just got married two days ago. She didn't want to stimulate the nerves of the queen mother and the Jiang family at this time, lest they do more crazy things. Come, just prepare the family to gather together.

"Mother."

The day before Daohua's birthday, Han Xinran came to Mrs. Li with a post from the Han family.

Mrs. Li has been very busy during this time. Wen Tao will get married next month, Wen Kai will get married next month, and her daughter will get married in December. She is busy almost every day.

"What's up?"

Mrs. Li faced the gift list without looking up.

Han Xinran: "Mother, isn't the eldest sister's birthday tomorrow? My mother-in-law's sister wanted to come over to congratulate her on her birthday, and sent me a post. Do you want to pick it up?"

Mrs. Li looked away from the gift list, looked up at the eldest daughter-in-law, and thought to herself, the eldest daughter-in-law finally stopped making her own decisions: "Everyone is relatives, and your mother's family has a heart, why don't we accept it?"

The last time my daughter lived in her mother's house, it would be better to let her have more contact with relatives on her mother's side, so as not to have children in the future.

Seeing the satisfied look on Mrs. Li's face, Han Xinran felt a little relieved, and finally understood how to get along with her mother-in-law in the future: "The daughter-in-law will go and reply."

After coming out of the main courtyard, Han Xinran walked slowly on the road, looking at the two new houses and courtyards that were being hurriedly arranged, her mood was slightly heavy.

In the past, there was only her daughter-in-law at home, and she didn't feel much. Now that the third and fourth siblings are going to enter the house one after another, she is gradually feeling some pressure.

Especially the four younger siblings, whose family background and personality are not inferior to her, and they are also the daughter-in-law of the big house, they will inevitably be compared in the future.

The four younger siblings and the eldest sister were friends because Yan’s elders watched them grow up. Naturally, she was more favored by the elders in the family than her. In addition, when she returned to Beijing this time, she failed to grasp the measure of getting along with her parents’ family, which angered her mother-in-law. Unhappy, this gave her a great sense of crisis.

She grew up in the uncle's mansion, and she knows too well that living under one roof, fighting and friction is unavoidable, and whoever has the elders' hearts toward who can live a more comfortable life.

Looking back, Han Xinran first went back to her yard to reply, and then went to the kitchen in person to check whether all the ingredients needed for tomorrow were purchased.

Early in the morning of the first day of August, Han Xinman brought the Han sisters and two girls from the Fang family to the Yan family.

When Han Xinran came to pick up someone, she saw her eldest sister, and she brought the Fang sisters over, her brows were slightly frowned: "Eldest sister, why didn't you tell me in advance when you were coming?"

Han Xinman took Han Xinran's arm affectionately, and asked with a smile, "You are not welcome when I come?"

Han Xinran looked at her: "If I take the girl from the Yan family and go to Uncle Yongqing's mansion without telling you, are you welcome?"

Han Xinman was stunned for a moment, and looked at her second younger sister in surprise. Now that she has her husband's family, her second younger sister is much tougher than when she was at home.

"Okay, okay, it's the eldest sister's fault. I'm blaming me for being lazy. I thought I had already posted a post at home and the time was too fast, so I didn't say hello to you. Are you really angry with your eldest sister?"

Han Xinran was silent: "Big sister, my sisters don't understand, but you and I are both daughters-in-law. It's okay for us to do whatever we want at home, but when we arrive at our in-laws' homes, we should still obey the rules of etiquette, what do you think?"

Han Xinran's persistent pursuit made Han Xinman very unhappy. Is it a trivial matter?

Nowadays, anyone in the capital who is well-informed doesn't know that the Yan family offended the Jiang family to death, and I really don't know what's so attractive about her second sister.

This time, if her father-in-law hadn't spoken in person, she wouldn't have bothered to bring the two younger sisters from the uncle's residence to the Yan's house.

"My good second sister, it's the eldest sister who didn't think carefully this time, so please forgive me this time, okay? It's the first time I've entered your in-law's house, and you still have to stop me from letting me in. Can't it?"

Han Xinran glanced at her eldest sister. The eldest sister always sought the favor of her elders when she was at home. Sometimes it was her fault, but after she said that, it seemed that others were wrong.

The people had already arrived. Although Han Xinran felt very uncomfortable, she still led the Han and Fang sisters to Madam Yan's yard.

Before the Han sisters came, Yan Siyu brought Yang Xiujun and the Yang sisters here. Now, she is joking with Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Wu, and the four Daohua sisters.

Seeing Han Xinman, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li were surprised. Thinking of the behavior of the Han family, the smiles on their faces faded.

In fact, you can see the attitude of others towards you in the little things you get along with every day.

Han Xinman brought the girl from the Fang family over without saying hello, so why didn't he take the Yan family seriously.

If she were asked to treat other powerful families like this, she probably wouldn't and wouldn't dare.

Han Xinran saw the unhappiness of the old lady and mother-in-law at a glance, and she felt bitter and had to step forward to explain.

Daohua sat on the side and watched this scene, didn't say much, just smiled and looked at Yang Xiuyun: "I heard that cousin Xiuyun and the third son of Shaoqing's family in Taichang Temple are engaged?"

Yang Xiuyun nodded shyly.

Daohua looked at Yan Yihuan with a smile: "That's such a coincidence, Yihuan has also decided, you two can get together to discuss how to embroider the wedding dress."

Yang Xiujun immediately looked at Yan Yihuan: "Really? Which family is Yihuan's cousin looking for?"

Yan Yihuan looked a little embarrassed, and was too embarrassed to speak.

Daohua said with a smile: "It's the eldest son of the family member Wai Langyou, who has just reached the crown."

Yang Xiujun immediately smiled and congratulated Yan Yihuan. The foreign member of the household department was a fifth-rank official, which was enough to match Yihuan's cousin, who was still white.

"Second uncle and second aunt do they all know?"

Daohua nodded: "Yihuan's marriage is naturally to be told to the second uncle and second aunt. Now the second brother and the second sister-in-law have left for Beijing. As long as they come to see the You family, they can make a decision."

Yang Xiujun smiled and looked at Yan Yihuan: "The family that the eldest uncle and aunt are looking for must be good." She was able to marry the youngest son of the Shaoqing family in the fourth-grade Taichang Temple, which was also in the Yan family's light.

The eldest uncle is the servant of the household, the eldest cousin is Hanlin, the third and fourth cousins ​​are Jin Lingwei, and the cousin Yiyi in front of her is about to marry into the royal family. You can't get this kind of marriage.

The last time I was in Zhongzhou, because of my grandmother's preference, we all lived together again. She had a very general relationship with several cousins. Now we are all living as relatives, and there is no entanglement of interests. .

Every time she came to Yan Mansion, several cousins ​​were very welcome.

Yan Yihuan nodded, showing gratitude: "I know, uncle and aunt worry a lot about me."

"What are you talking about?"

Han Xinran smiled and brought the Han and Fang sisters over.

Daohua smiled and said, "I'm saying that the weather is really hot today."

Yan Yihuan and Yang Xiujun nodded quickly.

Han Xinran looked at Daohua: "Big sister, please help me receive it. I'll go and see the kitchen."

Daohua smiled and nodded: "It's hard work, sister-in-law."

Han Xinran smiled and shook his head, turned and left.

The third girl of the Han family smiled and said, "Is it hot? I don't think so. I just passed the flower gallery in the yard, and I think it's very cool there." As she spoke, she looked at Daohua.

"Sister Yan, otherwise, let's sit and talk over there, you can enjoy the coolness and enjoy the flowers, killing two birds with one stone."

Daohua glanced at the third girl of the Han family, picked up the teacup and pretended not to hear what she said.

As a guest, the most basic guest and host don't even know it. It's not without reason that this Han family's uncle's mansion can quickly fall due to such and such requirements.

Seeing that Daohua didn't give face like this, the third girl of the Han family was a little confused, and the sisters of the Fang family were slightly stunned.

It is really rare to see the host family that does not give face to the guests.

Yan Yihuan didn't want the atmosphere to be too embarrassing, so she smiled and parted ways.

Daohua didn't hold on to it, but in the chat that followed, she ignored the Han sisters intentionally or unintentionally.

After a few contacts, she can be considered to understand the temperament of the Han sisters. Because she is a girl from the Earl's House, she is a little high and likes to be arrogant. If you want to give them a good face, you will only pamper them. more and more.

When it was almost noon, Ping Tong walked into the house with a smile on his face, and after saluted Mrs. Yan and others, he smiled and said, "Old lady, ma'am, Prince Ping's mansion is here to send a birthday present to the eldest girl."

Mrs. Li said quickly, "Quickly invite someone in."

The person who came this time was Wynn. Wynn first greeted Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li, and then saluted Daohua and handed her a half-meter-long golden silk nanmu box: "I congratulate the servant. The county owner Fangling will follow forever, and Junhua will never leave."

Daohua took the box with a smile: "What is this?" After speaking, she opened the box, and immediately, a light green jade Ruyi came into everyone's eyes.

"My lord is looking forward to the county owner's eternal satisfaction!" Wynn said at the right time.

The smile on Daohua's face became even wider. Although Prince Ping gave her such an expensive gift, most of the reason was to make up for her previous guilt, but she was still very happy.

"Thank you to the lord for me, I like this gift very much."

"The county owner likes it, the prince must be very happy, and the slave will go back to the manor to answer."

Wynn saluted Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li again, and then sent them out by Bi Shi.

Prince Ping personally sent someone over to give gifts, so that no one present thought of it.

After Wynn left, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li looked happy. The more satisfied Prince Ping was with the granddaughter (daughter), the better the life of the granddaughter (daughter) in the future.

Others, on the other hand, looked slightly moved and said in their hearts that the rumors were really unbelievable. Everyone used to say that Prince Ping did not want Yan Yiyi to be a daughter-in-law, but looking at it today, Prince Ping is obviously very satisfied with this marriage.

"Sister Yan, the prince really values ​​you. This jade ruyi is transparent in texture and bright in color. It is not ordinary at first glance. When you marry into the palace in the future, my sister will wait and enjoy it."

Han Xinman smiled and complimented, she now understands what her father-in-law meant, and with the backing of Prince Ping's mansion, even if the Yan family offends the Jiang family, it won't be a big deal, and it is still worth meeting.

Daohua smiled and didn't answer. She just handed Yu Ruyi to Gu Yu, ready to let her take it back to the yard and put it away. At this moment, Ping Tong walked in again.

"Old lady, madam, someone from the Dingguo government has arrived."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Although everyone was surprised that Prince Ping's mansion sent people, it wasn't too much.

But the Dingguo government sent people, and everyone was really surprised.

Mrs. Li glanced at Daohua: "Quickly invite someone in."

Soon, Mei Xue, who was beside Guo Ruomei, walked in.

"It's you!"

Daohua looked at Mei Xue in surprise, she knew this person, the maid next to Xiao Yeyang's mother.

Mei Xue smiled and saluted Daohua: "This servant has seen the county owner." After saying that, she greeted Madam Yan and Madam Li again, and then looked at Daohua again.

"Today is the birthday of the county lord. Madam can't come over in person. She specially ordered the slaves to send some jewelry for the county lord to enjoy."

Said, smiled and let the four maids behind him hand over the jewelry box in their hands.

Daohua looked at the jewelry box held in the maid's hand, and smiled: "Madame is really nice, thank you madam for me."

Hearing Daohua's answer, Mei Xue immediately smiled and said, "It's good that the county owner likes it."

Daohua asked Gu Yu to take the jewelry box and exchanged a few words with Mei Xue, and then Mei Xue left.

"Sister Yan, take a look at what gifts Dingguo Gongfu gave you?" Miss Han San couldn't help saying.

Daohua was also curious, so Gu Yu opened the box.

A box of various colored gemstones, a box of thumb-sized Nanhai Dongzhu, a set of emerald heads and a set of phoenix hairpins.

Well, it's practical and luxurious.

Daohua secretly thought that Xiao Yeyang's parents were more arrogant than the other.

"Put the things away for your girl."

Seeing the envy in the eyes of everyone, Mrs. Li called out to Gu Yu to collect the things.

Gu Yu nodded, and Li Xia quickly took the box and left.

"Prince Dingguo also values ​​Big Sister Yan very much." Han Xinman smiled again, but the smile on her face was a little stiff.

When she came to Yan's residence this time, it was beyond her expectations.

Both Prince Ping's mansion and Duke Dingguo's mansion valued Yan Yiyi so much, and the birthday gifts they gave were good things that she rarely saw.

Han Xinman glanced at Han Xinran, who was waiting by Mrs. Li's side. This second sister is really lucky. Looking at the current situation of the Yan family, it is really as her mother said, and it is more nourishing than her life in Uncle Yongqing.

Xiao Yeyang arrived with Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai at the end of noon, along with the three of them, as well as Wu Dingbo.

While Yan Wenkai was introducing Wu Dingbai to everyone, Daohua walked up to Xiao Yeyang: "Why is he here? Our family is not dealing with the Jiang family now, and the Wu family is not far from us."

Xiao Yeyang said with a low smile: "The Governor Wu is shrewd. He is an old fox. He wants his son to be friends with your two brothers. Naturally, he sees that the royal uncle is not willing to tolerate the Jiang family any longer."

Daohua smiled and said, "The emperor was very rude to the Jiang family this time."

Xiao Yeyang smiled: "Let's talk outside the house."

Daohua nodded, and went out of the house with Xiao Yeyang, standing under the flower shed in the yard and talking.

Xiao Yeyang: "The emperor's succession to the throne is indeed due to the favor of the Jiang family. In the past, he tolerated the Jiang family, but he didn't want to lose the reputation of avenging his revenge."

"This time, it was the Jiang family who committed such a scandal in the palace, and the queen mother also ended up in person. This is considered to be handing the knife to the uncle of the emperor."

"Using this opportunity, the uncle of the emperor expressed his dissatisfaction with the Jiang family. At this time, everyone will not think about the uncle of the emperor. They will only think that the empress dowager and the Jiang family are too much."

"There are many officials in the DPRK who hate the people of Xiliao. When the empress dowager of the court colluded with the people of Xiliao, this really stirred the nerves of many people. Wait, without the protection of the royal uncle, there are many aristocratic families. Xungui is waiting to take a bite of the Jiang family's fatty meat."

Knowing that the Jiang family is going to be unlucky, Daohua is relieved.

"I heard that you received a lot of good things today?" Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua with a smile.

Daohua stretched out her hand in front of Xiao Yeyang: "Where's my birthday present?"

Xiao Yeyang grabbed the jade hand, lowered his head and gently pecked at the palm of his hand: "How about giving me to you?"

Daohua quickly retracted her hand, looked left and right, saw no one around, and then stared at Xiao Yeyang.
