There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 146

[Chapter 146, good days are to come]

“What did you say, the eldest brother of the fourth daughter-in-law was promoted to the magistrate of Xingzhou at the beginning of this year?” Mrs. Yang asked in shock.

The lady in charge nodded: “Yes, the lady in charge from the Yan family told the fourth lady herself.” The second lady Yang muttered, “Why didn’t the Yan family tell us about such a big   matter

?”

Madam Yang’s complexion changed, thinking of the letter her daughter accidentally dropped into the water in March, her heart skipped a beat.

Mrs. Yang was also wondering, the Yan family was still good to the fourth daughter-in-law, it was impossible not to respond to this kind of thing, and suddenly, she saw the eldest daughter-in-law whose complexion changed slightly, and she immediately understood.

This guy who succeeds more than fails!

The woman in charge thought for a while and asked: “Old lady, do you think you want to prepare a house for the servants from the Yan family? The old slave watched carefully, and the servants of the Zhou family were very polite to that lady Fang. The relationship between the family should be good.”

“When the fourth lady called her away, the servants of the Zhou family took the initiative to mention the time to go back, saying that they would go back together.”

Mrs. Yang thought for a while: “You go to prepare, This is the first time people from the Yan family have come to Beijing since we

went to Beijing, so don’t lose your courtesy.” “This is wine, made by the eldest girl herself. I was lucky enough to drink it once, and it was delicious. The fourth girl kept it for herself. Drink it, or give it away, it’s all fine.”

The two jars of wine sent over were packed in large jars, which can be poured into small jars to make many servings.

“This is fermented rice, and it’s also made by the eldest girl. It’s the most nourishing soup to make in winter.”

“These are vegetables grown by the old lady in the greenhouse. I sent a big car, but unfortunately, the road was frozen a lot.”

“These pots of red plums and winter chrysanthemums were raised by the old lady and the eldest girl, and they were said to be for the girl, the young master, and the young lady to enjoy. .”

Afterwards, Mrs. Li prepared other clothes for use. Mrs. Fang introduced them one by one, then looked at the people in the room, and carefully took out a jewelry box.

As soon as the jewelry box was opened, Yang Xiuyun, who was always calm, couldn’t help but her eyes lit up.

There are only four flowers in the box, one plum, one orchid, one chrysanthemum, and one peach, all of which are made of strings of pearls of different colors, lifelike and exquisite.

“This is a gift from Miss Biao.”

Yan Siyu: “It’s too precious, I should keep the rice flower for myself.”

Lady Fang smiled: “Young lady still has it.” He took out a whole set of good pens, inks, papers and inkstones, “This is for Master Biao.”

Finally, Mrs. Fang gave Yan Siyu a long box: “This is from the old lady, what is it, slaves don’t care about it.” I know.”

Yan Siyu touched the box, opened it and saw that it was a century-old ginseng.

In an instant, Yan Siyu couldn’t help crying again.

Niang. Niang is still thinking about the fact that she hurt her body after giving birth, so she sent her ginseng from thousands of miles to make her healthy!

“Girl, don’t worry, good days are ahead! Maybe one day, the Yan family will come to Beijing.” Mrs. Fang said suddenly.

Hearing this, Yan Siyu’s mother and daughter looked at Lady Fang at the same time.

Yan Siyu’s tone was a little urgent: “Really, Sister Fang, you didn’t lie to me, did you?”

Mrs. Fang: “Of course, our uncle was already a scholar a few years ago, and now he is studying at Wangyue Academy. It ‘s just around the corner.”

“The third master and the fourth master are also practicing martial arts at Wangyue Academy. Their bodies are as strong as calves, and they are preparing for the martial arts examination in the future.”

“Our Yan family will get better and better. Although the master’s official position is only from the fifth-rank magistrate, but the master is an upright official and he is still young, who can guarantee that he can’t go up one more rank?”

“Girl, listen to the servant girl. If the Yang family or the uncle make things difficult for you in the future, don’t bear it. When you came, Madam said that the Yan family can support the girl now.”

Listening to these words, Yang Xiuyun was also very excited. If her grandfather’s family really came to Beijing, then mother and they would have something to rely on.

Afterwards, Yan Siyu dragged Mrs. Fang to talk for a while, until the people around the old lady came and said that the room was ready, and then asked them to leave and go to rest.

After the people left, Yan Siyu discovered that there were several hundred-denomination banknotes hidden in the ginseng box, and immediately felt mixed feelings, and lay down on the table and began to sob.

In the evening of that day, the entire Yang family knew about the arrival of the Yan family and Yan Zhigao’s promotion to magistrate at the beginning of the year.

Eldest Yang: “Fourth brother, go and ask the fourth sibling how to return the annual ceremony? Discuss with her, draw up a list, and hand it to your sister-in-law.”

Now Yang Boyi, who has been from the fifth-rank official, ordered nod.

He didn’t expect that his classmate could stand up, and now he has the same official position as him.

When Yang Boyi returned to the main courtyard of the fourth house, Yan Siyu was taking Yang Xiuyun to distribute annual gifts to each house.

Seeing his wife’s eyes were red and swollen, Yang Boyi’s eyes flickered, he was silent for a while, and then walked in with a smile: “What are you doing?”

Seeing her husband, the smile on Yan Siyu’s face immediately faded, and she said lightly : “The New Year gift from elder brother and sister-in-law is about to be sent to each house.”

Yang Boyi glanced at the things in the room, his face slightly surprised.

This time, the Yan family’s New Year’s gift was rich enough.

Not to mention the pots of red plums and winter chrysanthemums in full bloom, and the altar of wine that the wife and daughter are sharing, and the aroma of wine can be smelled from afar, all of which are rare.

“It seems that my brother’s family is really prosperous, and they can even get wine.” You know, he has only heard of this thing, but he hasn’t tasted it yet.

Yan Siyu glanced at Yang Boyi: “These are all made by the family.”

Hearing this, Yang Boyi was really surprised: “Your Yan family still has this skill?”

Yan Siyu: “I haven’t contacted my family for a long time, so I don’t know.”

Yang Boyi’s complexion changed slightly, and then he said with a smile: “It’s also my fault. I’m usually too busy, so I neglect to communicate with your mother. I will communicate more with my elder brother in the future.”

That night, Yan Siyu delivered the presents distributed to all parties.

Each room has a small jar of wine, a small jar of fermented rice, and two baskets of vegetables.

As for the potted plants, apart from a pot of red plums that was sent to Mrs. Yang, Yan Siyu kept two pots in her house, and all the others were given to the couple to decorate the house.

These years, she has really treated her son and daughter badly. She doesn’t want to give the things sent by her mother’s family to the other three families at all, and she wants to use them on her children.

At dinner, all the rooms expressed their thanks.

This time, the Yan family’s annual gift was really good. Although the quantity was a little smaller, they were all good things that couldn’t be bought in the market.

“Hey, fifth sister, are the flowers on your head made of pearls?” The third girl in the big room saw the new pearl flowers on Yang Xiuyun’s head at a glance.

Yang Xiuyun stroked her bun with a smile, and nodded reservedly: “My cousin gave it to me, doesn’t the third sister look good?” She wore the bead flower on purpose.

In the past, every New Year’s day, the other three households would intentionally or unintentionally dislike her mother and her shabbiness. Today, she also wants to show off in front of them and tell these people that she also has a grandfather’s family.
