There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 147

[Chapter 147, Stationery Distribution]

Xingzhou, Yan Mansion.

As the end of the year was getting closer, Mrs. Li was so busy that she had to prepare for the annual ceremony, attend the banquets held by various prefectures, and calculate the income of the farm shop. She was so busy that she directly carried the rice flowers out.

“This year your father was promoted to Zhizhou, and this year’s gift exchanges are several times more than last year.” Mrs. Li was looking at the annual gift list sent by each family, while talking to her daughter who was settling accounts.

Daohua didn’t even raise her head: “As the official is big, there will naturally be more people who fawn on you.”

Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter and scolded with a smile: “This is not allowed to be messed up outside.”

Daohua raised her head and stuck out her tongue, and said playfully: ” My daughter is not stupid.”

Mrs. Li said angrily, “Yes, you are the best.” As she spoke, the corners of her mouth curled up, this year is really thanks to her daughter, otherwise, at this time, she doesn’t know how annoying she would be .

The more New Year’s gifts come and go, the more expenses will naturally increase. If the watermelons on the Zhuangzi hadn’t made a fortune, this year’s New Year’s ceremony would probably look shabby again.

Thinking of the return gifts from her family to each family, Mrs. Li showed a smug expression on her face, and said to her daughter in a cheerful tone: “This year, in our family’s return gifts, there are vegetables and flowers you grew. It can be said that Xingzhou City It ’s worth a portion.”

Rare things are more expensive, and there are few vegetables and flowers in winter, so it’s hard to buy even if you have money.

Although some other families also have greenhouses, the vegetables they grow and the flowers they raise are not as good as their own.

The Zhou family’s family is rich enough, but in order to eat their own food, don’t they ask their girls to join their daughter every day?

As proud as Mrs. Li, there is Yan Zhigao in the yamen.

This year’s family’s New Year’s gift made him lose face in the state government. Every day, people thanked him, not saying that the vegetables they sent were delicious, or that the potted plants were beautiful, and he and the officials under him Pulled into a lot of distance.

Especially in the yamen, those old fritters who respect the rules and accept death, but have a good relationship behind them, because of the New Year gift and kindness, they are less obstructive and picky about his work at the end of the year, which makes him relax a lot.

At this moment, Yan Zhigao was sitting in the study in the outer courtyard in a good mood, admiring the calligraphy and painting sent by the subordinates.

Suddenly, Steward Sun walked in with a big box in his arms: “Master, this is an annual gift from Wang Tongpan.”

Yan Zhigao raised his eyebrows: “Bring it here for me to have a look?” Du Shen discussed this matter, and Qian Tongzhi had secretly told him about it before.

Wang Tong judged that this person has good working ability, and he has done well in the things he ordered. As long as he doesn’t stumble behind his back, he won’t make it too difficult for him.

Of course, there will be no reuse.

Butler Sun gently placed the box on the table and opened it carefully.

It is a complete set of stationery utensils.

Brushes, inks, inkstones, brush washers, brush licks, inkstone drops, rulers, arm rests, etc. are all available.

Yan Zhigao picked up the brush and looked at it, he saw a good Xuan brush, and then he looked at the inkstone, it turned out to be a Duan inkstone: “Wang Tong is willing to judge this.”

Not to mention the value of this whole set of tools, if you want to get it , It is estimated that a lot of effort will have to be wasted.

Yan Zhigao looked at the stationery set on his desk, and found that they were all newly purchased, but the newly acquired set would not be needed for the time being.

“Father!”

At this moment, Yan Wenbin walked in.

Yan Zhigao put down the Xuan pen in his hand, and asked with a smile, “Why are you here?”

Yan Wenbin’s eyes lit up when he saw the stationery on the table, he still lacked a good set of stationery, This set is just right.

If in the past, Yan Zhigao would have offered to ask him to take it when he saw his beloved youngest son looking eager, but this time, he didn’t say anything.

Seeing this, Butler Sun, who was standing aside, felt his heart skip a beat.

He has served the master by his side since before the imperial examination. Over the years, he has also seen how much he loves Lin’s son and daughter.

When Wu Ye entered the room and his eyes fell on the stationery, he thought that this set of stationery might be taken away by Wu Ye, but judging from the current state of the master, he is not going to give the stationery to Wu Ye!

This is the first time ever!

Do you want to keep it for the uncle?

That’s right, the uncle is the eldest son after all, even if the old man prefers the younger son, he will not ignore the old man.

Seeing that his father didn’t say he would give him stationery, Yan Wenbin felt a little disappointed: “Father, my son doesn’t understand some of the content in the textbook, so I would like to ask you to guide him.”

Yan Zhigao was very happy to see that his youngest son knows how to work hard. : “Show me.”

After that, Yan Zhigao explained to Yan Wenbin what he didn’t understand in detail.

The drawn question has been answered, but Yan Wenbin hesitated and left immediately.

Yan Zhigao: “Why, there is still a problem?”

Yan Wenbin moved his lips, wanting to ask for that set of stationery, but after thinking about it, he decided to go back and tell his aunt to ask his father for it.

As long as my aunt asked, my father would almost never refuse.

After Yan Wenbin came out of the study, he went straight to Shuangxinyuan and told Aunt Lin about the stationery.

Seeing her son’s anxious face, Aunt Lin thought it was something. After hearing what he said, she immediately smiled and said, “Isn’t it just a set of stationery? I’ll help you get it. I’m worried about you.

” Embarrassed: “My son really likes that set of stationery.”

Aunt Lin smiled: “Okay, okay, when your father comes to Shuangxinyuan, no, when your father comes back from the outer courtyard, mother will go to him and promise to help you.” Get the stationery here.”

Yan Wenbin was a little worried: “Mom, will daddy give it to me? In the past, daddy would take the initiative to ask for anything my son liked, but this time, my son stayed in the study for so long, but daddy didn’t say anything .”

Aunt Lin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: “The end of the year is approaching, your father is busy with business, maybe he didn’t expect it.” After finishing speaking, she pondered for a while, and called a maid, “Go to the Chuhuamen to watch, and when you see the master coming back from the front yard, you will Come and tell me.”

Outer study room.

After Yan Wenbin left, Yan Zhigao looked down at the stationery on the table, thinking that he had never given anything to his eldest daughter before, so he called Butler Sun: “Go, send this set of stationery to Daohua, the girl said It’s well written, and it just comes in handy.”

Hearing this, Butler Sun looked surprised.

Don’t blame him for being like this. Of the five children in the eldest house, the uncle is the number one in terms of importance;

The eldest girl and fourth master in the middle, um, are actually a little embarrassed.

At least, in the past, when the master had good things in his hands, he rarely thought of these two.

Although Steward Sun was surprised, he didn’t show it on his face. He smiled and covered the stationery, then carefully took it and walked towards the main courtyard.

main courtyard.

Daohua had just calculated the income and expenditure of Mrs. Li’s dowry shop for a year, and was about to take a stroll in the yard when she saw Butler Sun coming in with a box in his arms.

“Ma’am, this is the stationery that the master gave to the eldest girl.”

Butler Sun saluted the two of them, then put the stationery on the table with a smile.

Daohua was a little shocked: “Give it to me? You didn’t make a mistake, did you?” Daddy would think of her?

Seeing the disbelief on the eldest girl’s face, Steward Sun twitched the corners of his mouth, lo and behold, even the eldest girl herself didn’t believe it, so it was normal for him to be surprised before.

“That’s right, the master said that the eldest girl’s handwriting is good, which is suitable for this set of stationery.”

Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter and urged her: “Open it and have a look.”

Daohua let go of her doubts, opened the box, and seeing all the stationery inside, she couldn’t help but feel happy: “I was telling my grandmother before that I didn’t have a ruler or an arm rest yet. Now there is no need to buy it.”

Mrs. Li saw that all the stationery materials were of high quality, and said with a smile, “Then you have to thank your father.”

Dao Hua looked at the stationery and said nothing.

Shuangxin Courtyard.

Steward Sun went to the main courtyard with the stationery, and Aunt Lin knew it immediately.

She couldn’t believe it either.

Why did you give it to the big girl?

Even if it’s not for Wen Bin, it should be for the uncle.

The eldest girl often contradicts the master, doesn’t the master dislike this daughter very much?
