There is Room For the Poor Daughter

On the first day of class, Yan Yishuang cried and was sent back to the yard. After Aunt Lin found out, she found Yan Zhigao that day, saying that the new master was full of inferiority and inferiority, and looked down on Yan Yishuang, so she would change husband.

After Yan Zhigao heard this, he pondered for a moment, then raised his feet and walked towards the main courtyard.

The Yan family's foundation is too thin. If the family wants to grow and develop, the upbringing of the girls is very important, and he also attaches great importance to this.

Before, when Mrs. Li invited Master Shen, she had passed his temper with him. He also sent someone to inquire about Master Shen's reputation and knew that this was a very popular female master.

Therefore, instead of just listening to Concubine Lin's one-sided remarks, he wanted to go to the main courtyard to ask clearly.

main courtyard.

As the Dragon Boat Festival approached, the Li family's boxing ceremony arrived. Mrs. Li asked Daohua to stay to see how she distributed the gifts. When Yan Zhigao came over, the mother and daughter were discussing what gifts to return.

Yan Zhigao saw that Daohua was also there, but he didn't hide it, and directly asked what happened in today's class, especially what was going on in the words of Master Shen.

Mrs. Li first gave Yan Zhigao a cup of tea with a smile, and then she spoke out in detail what happened in the class, without adding any point of her own opinion.

"Because today is the first time for the girls to attend class, I was worried that they would not be used to it, so I sent someone to look after them there. If you still have doubts in your heart, you can ask them to come and ask."

The implication is that you don't believe what I said, you can ask other people.

Daohua saw Yan Zhigao's expression of silence, and asked with a smile, "Father, do you think Master Shen is wrong?"

Yan Zhigao raised his eyes to look at the eldest daughter with clear and bright eyes, thinking of her position and responsibilities, his heart moved slightly: "What do you think of Daohua?"

Daohua smiled and said: "I think it's right. Just like my father, my father was an official outside and protected us. Therefore, my father is the head of the family, and everyone listens to you. The greater the ability, the heavier the responsibility, and the natural enjoyment. There should be more. If you only have to pay, but no return, over time, people will be dissatisfied."

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao's heart trembled slightly, he was a man, or a jinshi, how could his knowledge be inferior to that of a yellow-mouthed child.

Over the years, although he has given his wife enough respect for matters in the backyard, because of his deep prejudice against businessmen and respect for scholars, most of the things he treats of Shuangxinyuan are biased.

Madam, I'm afraid this has long been dissatisfied, right?

Seeing Yan Zhigao looking at her, Mrs. Li thought she was asking her what she meant, and after thinking about it, she said, "Master, Yishuang's temperament has indeed become a little more delicate, Master Shen didn't say anything serious today, and All the words are addressed to everyone, not to any one individual."

"Yishuang was crying in class, which was undoubtedly hitting Master Shen in the face. For this reason, Master Shen was not angry, but only had her sent back to the yard. I don't know how Lin said it to the master, but we Since you have invited Master Shen, shouldn't you have the least respect for her?"

"Even if the master is dissatisfied, did he wait for a while to take a look? After all, today is only the first day of class."

Daohua interjected: "Father, it's not that I want to make a small report, but I think I should tell you that the third sister is too crying. At the last banquet, everyone didn't care about her, so she just stared at her. Hong, I don't know, I thought who bullied her, which made it very difficult for me at the time. If you have a chance, you have to talk about her. "

Yan Zhigao knew about this, but he listened to another version. Aunt Lin told her that Daohua deliberately did not bring Yan Yishuang, so that the young ladies isolated Yishuang, but he was busy after the banquet, so he put this Things are forgotten.

"You're the eldest sister. If there is something wrong with Yishuang, you can tell her."

Daohua burst into a smile, and the corner of her mouth was faintly mocking: "Father, I don't dare to say something about the third sister, if I say something serious and make her cry, who knows how Concubine Lin will tell you, when the time comes, you will Don't you have to trouble me?"

Hearing the eldest daughter's unceremonious accusations, Yan Zhigao looked a little uncomfortable.

Mrs. Li glared at Daohua: "Why are you talking to your father? Master is usually busy with official business, so it is inevitable that things in the backyard will be neglected. If you have anything to do, tell me carefully, Master can't listen to your explanation?"

Yan Zhigao nodded hurriedly, that is, if Concubine Lin can say it, can you explain it too? He is not someone who can't tell right from wrong, how can he not give people a chance to defend himself?

Daohua didn't know what to think, the corner of her mouth was slightly hooked, and she sneered: "I, I'm afraid that the stick will hit me before I can explain it."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Zhigao was really embarrassed.

At the beginning, because the girl of Zhu Jiaoyu's family was injured in Yan's backyard, he gave the eldest daughter a slap in the face. He almost forgot about this, but he didn't expect the eldest daughter to remember it.

Mrs. Li also remembered this, worried that the father and daughter would become stiffer as they talked, so she drove Daohua away directly: "Aren't you going to discuss with the old lady about making dumplings on the Dragon Boat Festival? Why don't you hurry up?"

Daohua blessed the two of them: "Father, mother, then I will go to my grandmother's yard first." After speaking, she took Wang Man'er and left.

After leaving the main courtyard, Wang Man'er said worriedly: "Girl, let's just leave, what if the master wants to vent his anger for the third girl and trouble Master Shen?"

Daohua smiled calmly: "No, my father, although many times when he encounters the matter of Shuangxinyuan, his IQ plummets, but about the Master, he will not make any decisions casually."

Wang Man'er looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Girl, I just secretly asked about Qi Ping next to the master, and he said that Aunt Lin wants the master to change it directly to the master."

Hearing this, Daohua sneered: "This Auntie Lin is really. She doesn't have any self-knowledge." At first, she didn't like Master Qin, and Mrs. Li couldn't directly replace it. Aunt Lin felt that she had more right to speak than Li. Is the lady still taller?

Wang Man'er nodded in agreement.

Daohua's expression was slightly restrained: "My father gave it to her." The reason why she was so satisfied with Master Shen, apart from being knowledgeable, was the extension from her seat to her responsibilities, which was really very agreeable to her.

The delusional concubine who paid nothing and the main room who brought a generous dowry, was in charge of the family director, and socialized were on an equal footing. Why didn't she go to heaven?

"Let's not talk about Shuangxinyuan, let's go to grandmother."

main courtyard.

After Daohua left, Mrs. Li was not talking to Yan Zhigao about Aunt Lin's mother and daughter, but about the exchanges between officials in Xingzhou.

"Master, the state city is not more complicated than the county seat. The interpersonal relationship here is complicated. Our family should pay more attention to some things, especially the etiquette and rules. The master's promotion of three levels in a row is already enviable, but it cannot be caught by others. The handle was laughed at."

Yan Zhigao nodded in agreement.

His work in Xingzhou City did not go as smoothly as he imagined. On the contrary, it was still somewhat difficult.

On the surface, the Tongzhi and the General Judgment under his command are all looking forward to him, but when it comes to dealing with government affairs, these two can delay as long as they can. .

The government affairs had already made him very upset, so after he knew what happened in the backyard, he didn't want to worry about it any more. Take care."

Mrs. Li smiled: "I am her mother, as it should be."

The next day, Yan Yishuang came to the class with a sullen look, and sat in the seat designated by Master Shen.
