There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 198

[Chapter 198, strangled in the cradle]

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, the state government rested for a bath, and Yan Zhigao was invited by the Zhou family master to climb Wuhua Mountain to admire the chrysanthemums, but it happened to bring Daohua and Zhou Jingwan along.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Li got up and started to prepare.

She knows that literati like to recite poems on wine when they go out to enjoy the scenery. The chrysanthemum wine brewed by her daughter is suitable for drinking on a day like today.

The taste is good, the degree is not very high, and it is also in line with solar terms.

When she got everything ready and returned to the main room, she saw Yan Wenbin and Yan Yi standing in the room with their heads down, while the master had a headache.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li’s eyes flashed, and she walked in with a smile.

“Greetings to mother!”

Seeing Mrs. Li coming in, Yan Wenbin hurriedly pulled Yan Yi to salute.

Mrs. Li said with a smile: “Get up quickly, it’s hard for you to come here so early today to say goodbye. Have you had breakfast? If you haven’t eaten, you can eat some in my yard.”

Yan Zhigao waved his hand: “It’s better to go back Go eat at Shuangxin Courtyard, your aunt is pregnant, it’s time to think about it, and you are all resting today, so you should spend time with her.”

Hearing this, Yan Wenbin and Yan Yishuang showed their faces at the same time . Disappointed: “Yes, my son (daughter) is leaving.” After the

two left, Mrs. Li took the facecloth from the maid, handed it to Yan Zhigao, and asked with a smile: “Do they want to go out to play with the master?”

Yan Zhi Gao took the veil and nodded: “Wen Bin said that always shutting up in the room and reading dead books is not conducive to the growth of knowledge, so he wants to go out with me to see the world.”

Mrs. Li shook her head: “After all, I am still a child, I only want to I went out to have fun, and I didn’t even think about it, the master went out to enjoy the scenery today at the invitation of others, what’s the point of bringing a child?”

“Taking a step back, even if Master Zhou and the others don’t mind, a child and an adult can If you don’t talk about going together, even if you go along, you will feel awkward.”

Yan Zhigao’s complexion improved a bit: “It’s exactly what Madam said.”

Madam Li pursed her lips and smiled.

It’s not impossible for men to take their own children out to play and socialize, but if they want to take them, they also bring the main wife out, so what’s the point of bringing a bastard by their side? Those who don’t know think that they want to support the bastard to the top.

“Wen Bin wants to go out with the master to gain knowledge. It’s justifiable. What’s the matter with Yi Shuang?”

Yan Zhigao paused, and glanced at Mrs. Li: “Isn’t Daohua going to play at the racecourse? That girl I want to go too.”

“Hey!”

Mrs. Li shook her head and sighed.

Seeing her like this, Yan Zhigao immediately asked: “Ma’am, what’s wrong?”

Mrs. Li looked at Yan Zhigao, hesitated and said: “I have something to say, which may make the master unhappy.”

Yan Zhigao “Ma’am, but it’s okay.”

Madam Li then said: “Master, don’t you think that girl Yishuang loves to compare

herself with Daohua too much?” Learn from Daohua.”

Madam Li sneered inwardly.

Peeping at everything her daughter has, is this learning from her daughter? Thanks to the master who dared to say this.

“My lord, since ancient times, there have been differences between concubines and concubines. I have treated Lin and her children with the utmost benevolence and righteousness, and have not treated them harshly.”

Yan Zhigao quickly answered, “Madam has always been virtuous, and I know all of this.”

Li Madam continued: “Yi Shuang was raised by Mrs. Lin’s side since she was a child, so it is reasonable for me not to interfere with her upbringing.”

Yan Zhigao interrupted the conversation: “You are a aunt, discipline your children is justified, how can you not intervene? Mrs.

Li smiled and gave Yan Zhigao a sideways look, pointing out: “Isn’t it because I’m afraid that the discipline will be severe, and if someone cries, the master will feel distressed?”

Yan Zhigao’s face immediately became a little embarrassing.

Before he could open his mouth, Mrs. Li said again: “As for Yi Shuang, please rest assured, Master, I will not treat her badly. If I can bring her to the banquets in the back houses of various mansions, I will definitely bring her.”

Yan Zhigao Immediately nodded: “I know that.” The

last time Wang Tongpan’s family held a banquet, his wife also brought Yishuang to the banquet. After Yishuang came back, she pulled him and said that the poem she wrote at the banquet won the first prize.

Although his wife was born in a family of merchants, she was kind-hearted in her heart, and she did not suppress the children of concubines like other principal wives, and did not let them stand out.

Mrs. Li then changed her voice: “But Daohua’s communication is not something she can integrate into. The master is a man, and he may not know how to get along with women. The prostitutes from the main house are generally unwilling to be with the concubine. The girl played together.”

Yan Zhigao nodded.

How could he not know this, not only for girls, but also for boys.

“It’s that girl Yishuang who has lost her sense of proportion. I’ll talk about her later.”

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Li smiled and continued, “I don’t have to distinguish between concubine and concubine, it’s just that every family is like this. Even if Daohua took Yishuang with her, she would feel uncomfortable if others didn’t talk to her.”

“Also, there are two girls at home. Yishuang has gone, so do I have to take the other two with me? ” ? Otherwise, we will treat one more favorably than another.” At the

door, Dao Hua listened to Mrs. Li’s whisper, and couldn’t help silently giving a thumbs up in her heart.

She was afraid that the cheap father would lose his mind, so whenever she went out, he would let her take her humble younger sister with her.

Although she could refuse, but in this ancient time, always contradicting her father would hurt her reputation, and her grandmother would be unhappy watching from the sidelines.

Now that mother and cheap father have talked about it, it has relieved her worries.

When there was no sound in the room, Dao Huazai walked into the room: “Mom, I’m coming to eat.”

“You girl, why did you come here? I don’t know how to get up early if I want to go out!”

“Hey, why are you dressing up as a boy?”

“Didn’t I think that I might ride a horse? It’s convenient to wear men’s clothes!”

“You girl, it’s better not to ride a horse casually. What if you get hurt?”

“Mom Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.”

“Forget it, it’s useless to tell you, remember to take Xiaoliuzi with you when you go out, can’t he ride a horse, if you really want to try, let him lead You go around.”

“Got it, got it.”

After a while, the Zhou family’s carriage came over, and after everyone gathered, they drove towards the pier.

As soon as the cruise ship sailed into the port of Huayang Prefecture, Yan Zhigao saw that the eldest son and the eldest son of the Zhou family were already waiting there.

Seeing the two people whispering and laughing in harmony, Yan Zhigao showed satisfaction and relief, and then he turned his head to look at the eldest daughter and Miss Zhou who were holding hands and chattering non-stop on the deck.

The two little girls were talking excitedly, and when they got excited, they danced and behaved very intimately.

In this regard, he is happy to hear and see.

The Zhou family has a lot of influence in Zhongzhou, and they are well-informed. Since Master Zhou started to communicate with him in private, he has become more and more familiar with the affairs of Xingzhou, and he has become more and more comfortable in handling government affairs.

Now the relationship between the two is getting better and better, whether it is for him or for Wenxiu and the others, it is a good thing.

Although he is still a member of the court like Mr. Tuesday, if something happens to him, he can go to Zhou’s family and not talk too much, at least he can help to say a few words, which is better than he used to in the officialdom. It’s so much better to be alone.
