There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 144
[Chapter 144, wishful thinking]
The next morning, Yan Zhiyuan woke up with a headache.
“Did I say something I shouldn’t have said yesterday?”
Mrs. Sun rolled his eyes at him, “Fortunately, you still remember that you were so majestic yesterday that you actually slapped the table in front of your mother and eldest brother and sister-in-law. Forget it, he also said loudly that Daohua is a wild girl with no tutor.”
“Listen yourself, is this what you should say? In a word, it scolded mother, elder brother, and elder sister-in-law. ”
Yan Yile, who was sitting on the sidelines waiting for breakfast, interjected, “Mother, I think what Dad said is right. The big sister yelled at Dad, but she has no tutor.”
“Shut up, When adults talk, there is no place for your children to interrupt.” Mrs. Sun glared at her little daughter, yesterday, her eldest brother and sister-in-law were all angry.
Now that Wen Jie has not grown up yet, their family still has to rely on the support of their eldest brother, so they can’t start a quarrel with the eldest brother over some trivial matters.
Yan Zhiyuan frowned, he thought more clearly and farther than Sun’s, and immediately said: “Brother shouldn’t be in the yamen now, so I’m going to apologize right now.”
Seeing his father leaving quickly without even caring about his meal, Yan Yile curled her lips, her expression a little dissatisfied: “Mother, why do we have to look at the faces of uncles and others in everything? Yesterday, the eldest sister was obviously disrespectful to father.”
Sun was silent for a while, and looked at The youngest daughter with a dissatisfied face, and the eldest daughter who was sitting aside wondering what to think, said after thinking about it.
“Just because your uncle is an official and your father is white, our second room has to be lower than the first room.”
“As for your eldest sister, she dares to contradict your uncle, and is afraid of your father?”
Yan Yi Le curled her lips: “Mother, I know, the reason why big sister dared to do this is because she is close to the young prince? If the uncle wants to be promoted, he has to rely on the young prince, that’s why he tolerates the big sister so much.” .”
“But, mother, it’s different now. In the past, the young prince only played with the eldest sister, but now, he is willing to play with me and the second sister, and we are not without support.”
Sun looked at it in surprise Glancing at the little daughter, she didn’t expect her to think so much at such a young age, she nodded her head with a smile: “The little prince just played with you once, and I don’t know what will happen next time?”
Yan Yile was confident He raised his head: “The little prince will definitely play with us, you don’t know, he talked to us a lot yesterday, and he always had a smile on his face.”
“When we get to know the little prince better, I will Let him help to find an official for father. The little prince is so powerful, this is not something that can be easily obtained.”
Hearing this, Sun was shocked, but his eyes showed anticipation.
Over the years, she has also made friends with many official family members, and heard them talk about buying an official. However, buying an official requires a strong background.
Little prince. Maybe he can really help their family. On the side
, Yan Yihuan couldn’t help but said: “Fourth sister, you are delusional. The reason why the little prince chatted with us is because you took the flowers raised by the eldest sister to find him.”
very clear.
Moreover, the topics of discussion between them and the little prince were all around the big sister.
“Also, buying an official is not something we should ask about.
Yan Yile disagreed: “Flowers are just a stepping stone. Afterwards, the little prince is willing to chat with us because we are interesting and can make the little prince happy.” ? ”
“As for buying an official, the eldest sister can let the young prince get a place in the academy for the elder brother and the others, so it’s not a big deal to give father an official position.” ”
Yan Yihuan still wanted to argue, but Mrs. Sun spoke up.
“Okay, don’t argue, no matter what, you two just need to remember one thing, that is, you must have a good relationship with the little prince in the future, and you can’t be like your big sister. The little prince was offended. ”
“Mother, don’t worry, we won’t be as stupid as big sister!”
Zheng Yuan said.
Seeing that Yan Zhiyuan came to apologize early in the morning, Yan Zhigao couldn’t say anything more.
On Mrs. Li’s side, although she was still angry in her heart, it was not good for the old lady and her master to continue to pursue the matter.
So, under everyone’s intentional or unintentional neglect, what happened on the day of the Laba Festival just passed away.
Two days later, Zhou Jingwan sent Daohua a box of silk flowers.
“It’s so exquisite!”
Daohua looked happily at the silk flowers in the box, and directly took a plum blossom for Wang Man’er to wear on her head, and then looked at Zhou Jingwan: “Does it look good?
” Everything is beautiful!”
Seeing that Daohua likes the things she gave, Zhou Jingwan was also very happy: “Let me tell you, this is the most fashionable silk flower in Beijing, and my second uncle brought it back for me specially, saying it was when I went out during the Chinese New Year. , so I can take it with me for fun. ” Daohua was
surprised: “Your second uncle is back?”
Zhou Jingwan shook her head: “He is busy, how could he come back at this time, it was a New Year’s gift from the servants of the mansion, and brought it to me by the way. Daohua: ”
Your second uncle’s New Year’s gift was really early, and there are still twenty days before the New Year.”
Zhou Jingwan shook her head: “It’s not too early, our family, since my grandfather came back, is my second uncle .” After Uncle delivered the New Year gift first, my mother is preparing to return the gift. Send it back early, so that our return gift cannot be delivered before the New Year. ” Daohua’s expression changed
: “Have you delivered the New Year gift from your family?”
Zhou Jingwan : “Not yet, my second uncle’s arrived yesterday, and my mother has to check and check, it’s not so fast.”
Daohua: “Is your family’s annual ceremony going by water? Then can our family come with you?” Would you like to send a New Year’s gift with your partner?”
After entering December, Mrs. Li began to prepare for the New Year’s gift.
Among them, the one she heard the most was giving New Year gifts to the Fourth Aunt.
The fourth aunt is in the capital, and the distance is relatively far, so she has to find a way in advance before sending someone to see her off.
She knew that her grandmother had been thinking about her daughter who married far away all these years, so she kept thinking about this matter in her heart.
Zhou Jingwan looked surprised: “Your family also has relatives and friends in the capital?” Daohua nodded
: “Yes, my aunt.”
Zhou Jingwan immediately said: “I have to go back and ask my mother first, and then I will reply to you immediately .”
Daohua Smiled and agreed.
On the same day, not long after Zhou Jingwan went back, she sent someone to tell Daohua, and her mother agreed.
The Zhou family used their own boats to send New Year’s gifts to the Yan family, but it was a matter of little effort.
After getting the exact news, Daohua immediately ran to find the old lady and Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li was also very happy to hear that the New Year gift could be sent to Beijing with the Zhou family: “The relationship is good, and I don’t have to find another boat.”
Daohua sat beside the somewhat silent grandmother: “Grandma, this year Father was promoted to Zhizhou, so we have to prepare an annual gift for Fourth Aunt.”
Thinking of her daughter whom she hadn’t seen for many years, Mrs. Yan’s eyes were a little moist: “Good boy, it’s hard for you to miss your Fourth Aunt.”
Daohua smiled Smile: “Of course I think about it. I not only miss my fourth aunt, but also my cousin and cousin. Oh, I haven’t given them any gifts yet. Grandma, you have to help me choose carefully so that I don’t miss my cousin. I lost face in front of my cousin.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Yan had a smile on her face: “Okay, grandma will help you, and I promise not to let you lose face.”
Daohua: “Since it is going by water, I want to use it. We will arrive in the capital in a few days, and the vegetables you planted in the greenhouse are already ripe, and we will send some to the fourth aunt, so that she can eat the vegetables grown by her mother when she is far away in the capital.”
Yan Lao The wife choked up a little, nodded with red eyes.
After her daughter got married, she never ate or cooked food cooked by her.
Although I can’t cook a meal for her myself now, it’s good to let her eat some vegetables grown by myself.
“Also, there are still several jars of wine I brew, and I will send two jars to Fourth Aunt. Whether you drink it yourself or give it away, it will save face.”
“There are also wine and potted plants.”
“Grandma, Fourth Aunt likes it .” What kind of flower, only you know, it’s up to you to choose.”
“.” On the
side, Mrs. Li felt relieved when she saw that the grandparents and grandson were discussing the New Year’s ceremony so enthusiastically.
These years, because of the Yang family’s deliberate estrangement, the master’s official position has not been promoted, and they dare not mention sister-in-law in front of the old lady.
Now it’s all right, the master has been promoted this year, and the family has earned some money from selling watermelons, so we can prepare a rich New Year’s gift for my sister-in-law.
Thinking about it, the Yang family didn’t dare to treat sister-in-law lightly.
