There is Room For the Poor Daughter

After the seat-changing turmoil passed, Daohua and the four started their normal classes.

Unlike Master Qin who only knew how to follow the script, Master Shen paid great attention to the combination of knowledge and life, and often told stories from life to deepen the girls' understanding.

Therefore, her class is relaxed, and even the most active Yan Yile, speaking of class, is no longer as bitter and bitter as before.

In addition, under the guidance of Master Shen, Daohua's female celebrity progressed rapidly, and she calmed down to practice more, and now the small objects such as handkerchiefs and purses embroidered are no worse than the other three girls.

Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they didn't prick their fingers all over the place when they saw Daohua embroidery.

Mrs. Yan: "Let me just say, our Daohua is so smart, how could it be impossible to learn female red? It turns out that the master didn't teach it well."

Mrs. Li: "Isn't it? It's no wonder that all the wives are willing to let go of their identities in order to find a good teacher for their children. A good teacher is so important."

Before you know it, the Dragon Boat Festival is here.

The Yan family's first Dragon Boat Festival in Xingzhou was not so good. There was no other reason. Yan Zhigao was too busy. It was also at this time that Daohua knew that the government affairs of the cheap father in the prefectural government did not seem to be carried out. Not very well.

"Mother, why do I think my father has lost a lot of weight?"

Mrs. Li's eyebrows were a little worried: "Can I lose weight? I'm so busy every day, I get up early and get up late."

Daohua looked puzzled: "Dangzhizhou has more government affairs than Dangjian county, and we know that the state has more subordinates than the county magistrate. It stands to reason that my father shouldn't be so busy."

Mrs. Li sighed: "Xingzhou's officialdom is intertwined, and there are many major families. Either this one is connected by marriage or the other is close to each other. All of them are not good. Your father is new here, and he has no support behind him. Naturally Assign officials who don't do anything."

"Your father is a shameless person, especially when it involves the people's livelihood. As soon as he encounters it, he can't wait to solve it immediately. If others are lazy and don't want to do it, he has to do it himself."

Daohua frowned: "These officials are so arrogant, are they not afraid that their father will give them bad reviews when they are assessed at the end of the year?"

Mrs. Li: "One or two is naturally scary, but if the whole yamen is like this, would your father still dare? The officials under his command are all bad reviews, which indirectly reflects that your father's control is not strict. It's probably okay if it's related, your father can't eat the first one and walk away."

Daohua opened her mouth wide and said in surprise, "The whole yamen refuses to accept my father? Why? I heard Master Xiao say that my father is quite capable of doing things."

Mrs. Li looked helpless: "Silly girl, your father has been promoted three levels in a row, which makes people jealous. It has nothing to do with his ability to do things."

Daohua frowned: "Then what should I do, there are so many things in a state, can't all be on my father?"

Seeing Daohua's worried face, Mrs. Li smiled with relief. This girl is a bit of a knife-mouthed and tofu-hearted girl. Even though she is usually reluctant to get close to the master, when she hears that the master has been excluded from the prefecture, she can't help but care.

"Don't worry, your father will handle it. Similar things happened when you took over as county magistrate before. As time goes by, your father will handle it slowly."

Daohua: "That's too tiring."

Mrs. Li: "Then what can be done, our Yan family's foundation is really too thin."

At this moment, Wang Man'er came over with a smile and carrying a bamboo basket: "Girl, the Dragon Boat Festival gift from Miss Zhou's family."

Daohua was a little surprised, and took it curiously: "What is it?" Then she flipped through it.

There is a box of rice dumplings, and several delicate sachets.

It wasn't much and it wasn't expensive, but it was the first gift she had ever received alone.

Looking at the things, Daohua thought for a while, and asked Wang Man'er, "Has the person who sent the things from the Zhou family gone?"

Wang Man'er: "Let's go, but it shouldn't go far."

Daohua: "Come on, let the concierge stop people, and I will also bring something from Miss Zhou." Anyway, if someone brought something here, it was also a friendship, so she had to give her a gift.

Mrs. Li watched Daohua leave quickly, but did not stop her.

Although the Yan family also gave the Zhou family a boxing gift, it was given according to the usual practice, and it was just a matter of maintaining a relationship. It is really impossible to say how much friendship there is.

But Daohua and Miss Zhou's private exchange of gifts can bring the relationship between the two.

She was born in a businessman, and even though she is now a lady of Zhizhou, she can still detect the contempt in the eyes of some female relatives.

After arriving in Xingzhou, although I attended some banquets, most of these banquets were based on the fact that the master was invited by Zhizhou. During the period, the ladies were polite to her on the face, but the alienation was not too much. cover up.

Even Mrs. Tongzhi, who has the most contacts, is only a verbal compliment to her, and she is not close.

If she can't make friends with officials' female relatives, she can't often take her daughter to visit various houses, which is not good for her daughter's growth and experience.

Miss Zhou is from a family background, and if Daohua can befriend her, she will also have a boudoir sister.

Zhou family.

Mrs. Zhou glanced at the gift Daohua gave to Zhou Jingwan, and seeing that it was just some dumplings and two boxes of rouge paste, she signaled the maid to accept it.

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "After the Dragon Boat Festival, let's see how many gifts our family Jingwan has received?"

The grandmother next to her smiled and said, "The Zhou family is a member of the Xingzhou family, and the old man is the chief assistant of the previous cabinet. The students and officials are all over the world, so naturally each family should be good at cursing."

"If this gift was delivered to the Zhou family on the open, it would be too expensive, and it would be suspected of bribery; if it was too light, it would not be on the stage. No, the five girls in our family have become a springboard for some people."

Mrs. Zhou squinted at the old mama, and scolded with a smile: "You can understand."

Old mammy: "It's more than this old slave can see clearly, the five girls are smart and alert, and they have long known the attention of each family. No, isn't the distance from each family girl well maintained?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou smiled: "This person's heart is full of flesh, who is real and who is fake, if you see more, you will naturally be able to distinguish." After speaking, she sighed again.

"Jing Wan grew up in such an environment, I don't even know if this is good or bad for her?"

After he finished speaking, thinking of the flower basket still hanging in his daughter's room, he ordered, "When Jingwan and her little sisters come back from watching the dragon boat, you can hand over Miss Yan's gift to her."

The old lady hesitated for a moment: "I heard that Mrs. Yan didn't seem to have a good time in the prefecture. Does the fifth girl need to get close to Mrs. Yan?"

Mrs. Zhou: "Let's leave the men's business alone. It's rare that Jingwan likes a person, and it's okay to make her as close as possible."

"Yes."

cognizant home.

Qian Zhuo glanced at the dumplings sent by the Yan family, and sighed, "Take it." But Wang Tongjuan's rejection of Lord Yan was so obvious that he had to avoid suspicion.

Mrs. Qian hesitated: "Wang Tongjuan is not a rash person, how can you treat Mrs. Yan?"

Qian Zhuo's eyes were deep and deep: "Don't forget, Senator Du is standing behind Wang Tongjing. I heard a gossip that Mr. Yan once offended Senator Du. I don't know if it's true?"

Mrs. Qian: "Didn't they all say that there are noble people behind Yan's family? How dare Senator Du be so obvious?"

Qian Zhuo: "Why else? Maybe the noble person could not threaten Senator Du, or maybe the noble person forgot too much, and the Yan family had already been forgotten."

Mrs. Qian: "Since this is the case, let's stay away from the Yan family. Senator Du is not easy to mess with."

Qian Zhuo pondered for a while: "The connection between Bi Lan and the eldest girl of the Yan family should still be maintained." Who knows, will the so-called noble person appear again?

Judges.

Mrs. Wang did not look down on the simple rice dumplings sent by the Yan family, and directly rewarded them to the servants.

Wang Hexi saw it and said nothing.

Mrs. Wang: "If you want me to say, there is no noble person behind this Yan family. Otherwise, he can't move an inch in the prefecture, and he can't help but ask for help?"

Wang Hexi glanced at Madam Wang: "There must be, but the relationship between the Yan family and the nobles is not as deep as we imagined." He said with a sneer.

"Also, with the Yan family's family background, even if you are lucky enough to make friends with the nobles, I am afraid that you will not have the ability to maintain a good relationship with the nobles."

Madam Wang was a little worried: "Master, you are targeting Master Yan so much now, in case, I said, in case that noble person suddenly thinks of Master Yan, you can't do it"

Wang Hexi was very calm: "I don't care what? I am in the prefecture, but everything is done according to the rules. Even if Mr. Yan is dissatisfied, there is no fault."

I really thought that he had been an official in vain all these years, and that the exclusion of Lord Yan was ordered by Senator Du. If he wanted to climb up, he had to rely on Senator Du, so he had to do some things.

But this does not mean that he will block all roads.

Everything stays on the line, he still knows.
