There is Room For the Poor Daughter

After the banquet, the Yan family's life in Xingzhou began to gradually get back on track.

Yan Wenxiu's boys were arranged by Yan Zhigao to study in the state school; Daohua's girls, because they had not invited their masters, could only review their previous books at home for the time being.

One day, Daohua practiced big characters for more than half an hour, and was about to take out the embroidery shed to practice female red, when she saw Ping Xiao smiling and entering the yard.

"Big girl, Madam is looking for you!"

Daohua quickly put down the embroidery shed and asked in doubt, "What are you doing to me at this time?"

Ping Xiao smiled and said: "It's a good thing. I heard that the third master is optimistic about Zhuangzi, and now he is telling the old lady and the lady about it."

Hearing this, Daohua immediately became interested and hurriedly walked towards Songheyuan.

Songheyuan.

Yan Zhiqiang handed the two land deeds to Mrs. Yan, and then said, "According to my sister-in-law's instructions, I bought a big Zhuangzi and a small Zhuangzi, and the two Zhuangzi are very close."

"Dazhuangzi has five hundred acres of land, including three hundred acres of paddy fields and two hundred acres of dry land. There are twenty-one tenants in Zhuangzi."

"Xiao Zhuangzi has 200 acres of land, including 100 acres of paddy fields and 100 acres of dry land, plus a barren mountain. There are ten tenants."

Mrs. Yan looked at Tian Qi carefully, and then handed it over to Mrs. Li who was beside her: "Eldest daughter-in-law, keep Tian Qi."

Seeing that the old lady was not reluctant, Mrs. Li took Tian Qi with a smile and looked at Yan Zhiqiang: "The two Zhuangzi, have the spring seeds been planted?"

Yan Zhiqiang nodded: "It's all planted. I took a closer look. Neither of the two tenants of Zhuangzi was a cheater.

Mrs. Li: "That's good. Before, I was worried that the newly bought Zhuangzi would miss the spring plowing. After this, the two Zhuangzi will trouble the third brother to watch more."

At this time, Daohua's voice came in.

"Grandmother, mother, has Zhuangzi bought it?"

Hearing the sound, several people in the room laughed.

Mrs. Yan squinted angrily at Daohua who stepped into the house quickly: "Look at you, this girl is in a hurry. If I say I buy it for you, I will buy it for you. How much less is there for you?"

Daohua said with a smile: "Isn't the granddaughter trying to grow something delicious for my grandmother?"

Mrs. Yan smiled and looked at Madam Li and Yan Zhiqiang: "Look at what she said, she obviously wants Zhuangzi herself, but she wants to say that it is for me. I have become a shield."

Daohua saw that Mrs. Li was holding two land deeds in her hand, and immediately came up.

Mrs. Li was overjoyed when she saw her eager expression: "I've never seen you so obsessed with money." After speaking, she handed her the land deed in her hand.

Daohua took the field deed carefully, then sat next to the old lady, read it several times, and then returned the land deed of the big Zhuangzi to Mrs. Li, and she took the land deed of the small Zhuangzi in her hands.

When Mrs. Li saw it, she burst out laughing: "You girl, are you afraid that your mother will rob you? Quickly, give Tian Qi to your mother, and your mother will keep it for you, and it will be your dowry in the future."

Daohua held Tian Qi and shook her head again and again: "No, I want to hold it by myself." I can feel at ease by holding my own things.

Mrs. Li: "You are still young. What if you lose Tian Qi? Don't worry, my mother is not greedy for you."

Daohua still shook his head: "I won't lose it."

Mrs. Li wanted to say something else, but then Mrs. Yan said, "Let Daohua hold it by herself. This girl doesn't know who to follow. She has known to protect her things since she was a child."

Daohua said as a matter of course: "Of course I have to protect my own things." After speaking, she looked at Mrs. Li with her bright eyes, "Mother, I want to go to Zhuangzi to see, isn't there a barren mountain, I'll go and see Can you plant something, but don't waste it empty?"

Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Yan and asked her for her opinion.

Mrs. Yan thought for a while, then nodded and said, "The weather is just right now, so I'll go out for a walk too."

Daohua immediately said: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, just tomorrow!"

Mrs. Yan rolled her eyes at Daohua and said with a smile, "I see that you are in a hurry. I know you are a restless person, so let's do it tomorrow."

Mrs. Li: "Mother, tomorrow my daughter-in-law will meet with Ya's wife to discuss buying a servant."

Mrs. Yan didn't care much: "You are busy with you, I and Daohua will go to Zhuangzi, and it's not very far." Seeing that Mrs. Li seemed a little worried, she pointed to Yan Zhiqiang and said, "If Zhiqiang is here, what else do you have? Are you worried?"

Seeing this, Mrs. Li didn't say anything else.

On that day, all the houses in the Yan family knew that there was a new Zhuangzi in the family, and at the same time, they also knew that Daohua had a small Zhuangzi alone.

Second room.

Yan Yile pouted and said, "Grandmother is eccentric, saying that the money to buy Zhuangzi is the eldest sister's own, but the eldest sister is only one or two years older than us, how could she have saved so much money, it must be the grandmother who took her own body I bought it for her with my own money."

Yan Zhiyuan and Mrs Sun didn't really believe that Daohua, who was only 9 years old, could save thousands of taels of silver, but they really couldn't say anything about it.

After all, Daohua has been raised by the old lady since she was a child, and even if the silver was taken out by the old lady, they have no reason to object.

Yan Wenjie's face was also a little unpleasant, and he muttered, "Old ladies from other families are all trying to save money for their children and grandchildren. Why does our family only think about subsidizing the granddaughter who will marry out sooner or later?"

Hearing the complaining meaning in Yan Wenjie's tone, Yan Zhiyuan immediately sank his face: "Shut up, the old lady is also something you can arrange as a junior? Have all your books been read in the belly of a dog all these years?"

Seeing that Yan Zhiyuan was angry, Mrs Sun immediately patted Yan Wenjie on the shoulder: "You don't have a good mouth, you dare to say anything, the old lady is the ancestor of our family, what she wants to do, don't say anything. You, even your father, can’t say a word. If you listen to your nonsense again in the future, I will beat you carefully.”

Yan Wenjie was very discerning, and when he saw his parents were angry, he immediately apologized: "Father, mother, it's the son's fault, I also heard that the eldest sister and a daughter have private property, but my grandson still has nothing. , I'm not convinced, that's why I'm talking nonsense, don't be angry."

Yan Zhiyuan glared at his son, his face still a little unhappy: "The old lady is your grandmother, you can only respect and respect in your heart." After speaking, he walked out of the room with his hands behind his back.

Mrs. Sun looked at the three daughters who were frightened by her husband's anger, and sighed, "It's not easy for the old lady to raise your fathers, and I won't dare to be disrespectful to the old lady in the future."

Yan Wenjie nodded sullenly.

Three rooms, calm and peaceful.

They know the money that Daohua earns, and it will only be more than the one who buys Zhuangzi. No one can object to her using it to buy Zhuangzi.

Shuangxinyuan.

Yan Yishuang said enviously: "Big sister is really happy, not only does she have a wealthy grandfather's family, but also good things like jade bracelets and brocades are given to her from time to time; even her grandmother is also subsidizing her, she is only 9 years old I have my own village."

Aunt Lin was very sad when she heard this.

Her daughter is no worse than anyone else, but the treatment at home is very different from that of the eldest girl. She is also the daughter of the master. Why does the eldest girl want anything and her daughter has nothing?

Seeing her daughter's dark face, Aunt Lin felt very resentful in her heart. She immediately called a maid and asked her to go to the front yard to find Yan Zhigao, but when she thought that Yan Zhigao had been busy during this time, she was afraid that she was not in the mood to listen to her. , After thinking about it, she reluctantly asked the maid to retreat.

That's all, after waiting for a while, when the master has settled down in the prefecture, she is slowly planning for her children.
