There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 443

[Chapter 443, Aunt]

‘s 29th of November is the fifty-fifth birthday of Mrs. Yan. Although it was a casual birth, many people came to celebrate her birthday because the emperor suddenly ordered the old lady and Mrs. Li to celebrate her birthday. Before mid-November, Mrs. Li got busy with her two sisters-in-law.

Daohua, who was in charge of the kitchen, was naturally taken out, and Mrs. Li intentionally taught her about housekeeping, which made her busy like a spinning top every day.

main courtyard.

While looking at the shopping list, Mrs. Li asked Daohua lying on the pillow, “Is everything packed in the guest house? Your aunt, cousin, and cousin are probably going to arrive in a day or two.”

Daohua Weakly said: “It’s been cleaned up a long time ago, but according to my grandmother, she probably wants my aunt to live with her.”

Mrs. Li smiled lightly: “It’s okay to stay for a few days, but it’s not good after a long time.

Daohua raised her head and turned to look at Mrs. Li: “Auntie and the others are going to stay for a long time?” Mrs.

Li put down the shopping list and said with a smile, “Your aunt rarely visits Guining. The New Year is approaching, so she will not leave until the New Year is over. .I heard from your father that the Yang family entrusted the relationship, and your cousin Hongrui will go to Wangyue Academy to study in the next year, and I am afraid that he will live with us in the next few years.”

Daohua said ‘oh’, and lay down again go back.

Mrs. Li said again: “Although I have to be busy receiving your aunt and preparing for the old lady’s birthday, but Yunxi and Yunyan, don’t be negligent.”

Daohua nodded: “Mother, you just Don’t worry, I often stay with them these days.”

Mrs. Li glared at her daughter angrily: “Of course mother knows, you called them over to help you do things.”

Daohua sat up with a embarrassed face: “Look at what my mother said, I asked them to help me. They can help me and learn some housekeeping skills. It’s a win-win situation.”

Mrs. Li smiled and shook her head: “This is not the way to treat guests, but Yunxi and Yunyan are willing to learn, so that’s all. By the way, you handed over the sewing room to Yihuan and the three?”

Daohua Nodded: “Just let them take care of people and things, and I will keep the books.”

Mrs. Li snorted, “You will sneak away.” Daohua

smiled and sat next to Mrs. Li: “Mom, my name is Let’s do our best. There are so many things in our family every day. If we really want to do everything by ourselves, we will be exhausted. Anyway, I’m holding on to the important ones, and they won’t be able to make big waves.”

Mrs. Li: “It’s good that you know it in your heart, but, Don’t underestimate others, you know, ants can also kill elephants.”

Daohua nodded with a smile: “I know.”

At noon that day, the whole Yan family was having dinner at Songhe Courtyard. I found it.

Mrs. Li put down her chopsticks and asked, “But grandma’s boat has arrived?”

Steward Sun nodded, “Returning to Madam, the Yang family’s boat has indeed arrived, but those who came with the Yang family include the Han family from the Earl of Zhaode’s mansion.” .”

Hearing this, everyone at the dinner table fell silent.

Mrs. Yan and the people in the first room knew about the Han family, but the people in the second room and the third room really didn’t know anything. When they heard that someone from the Earl’s Mansion had come, they were all stunned.

On the table, Daohua quickly looked at her elder brother, seeing him, she smiled and winked at him.

Yan Wenxiu felt a little uncomfortable about his younger sister’s teasing, so he turned his eyes away and didn’t look at her again.

Mrs. Li became anxious: “The Han family is here too? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?” The Han family may be the future Yue family of the eldest son, so we can’t neglect it.

Yan Zhigao suddenly raised his head and patted his head: “Look at my memory, I received a letter from the Han family a few days ago. It happened that there were many things in the yamen, so I forgot to mention it.”

Mrs. Li stood up: “There is nothing wrong with this.” I’m not ready, I have to hurry to clean up the place for others.”

Daohua quickly grabbed Mrs. Li: “Mother, just in case, when I was preparing my aunt’s yard, I cleaned up all the guest yards of our house. Even if there are more families, there will still be places to live. Yes .”

Mrs. Li suddenly became less anxious: “What about the waiters?”

Daohua said calmly: “I asked Mrs. Fang to dispatch a group of people from various places to deal with emergencies. Let’s distribute it from the people there.”

Madam Li nodded, and said: “The Han family is the earl’s house, and the things used should not be too sloppy.”

Dao Hua still said calmly: “Of course, the hospitality must not be neglected. No matter how noble the Han family is, it cannot be more expensive than Xiao Yeyang.”

Mrs. Li thought for a while, seeing that there was nothing to ask, she sat down again Next, she glanced at Daohua with relief, she is blessed after all, to have a daughter to help her share her worries.

Everyone in the Yan family also looked at Daohua.

Sun said with a smile: “Our family Daohua is really a good housekeeper, everything has been arranged properly in advance.”

Yan Yi smiled and took the words: “No wonder the big sister asked the sewing room to rush to make a batch of new sheets, When the sheets came out, I was wondering why at the time, but now I know that they are used to decorate the guest house.”

Sun said to Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile: “In the future, you have to learn from your big sister.” Saying, Looking at Daohua again, “Daohua, you are an elder sister, you can teach your younger sisters more.”

Mrs. Li didn’t wait for Daohua’s response, and directly diverted the conversation: “Second brother and sister, don’t praise this girl, she How do you know what?” As he spoke, he brought the topic back to his sister-in-law who was about to go home.

My daughter is tired enough to study housekeeping, how can I have time to teach others.

And this is a thankless job. If you teach it well, you will get a few words. If you don’t teach it well, you will say that you are not dedicated.

Neither Yan Zhigao nor Yan Zhiyuan intervened in the matter of the backyard, but they all knew about Daohua letting Yihuan, Yile, and Yishuang manage the sewing room, and they were both satisfied with it.

Yan Zhigao glanced at the eldest daughter, feeling relieved in his heart, the eldest daughter has a stronger personality, but she is also generous, knowing how to help her younger sister, she has the demeanor of an elder sister.

Immediately, everyone had a quick meal, and then went back to their rooms to tidy up and change their clothes, ready to welcome Yan Siyu and the Han family, even Yan Zhigao waited at home and did not go to the yamen.

In the carriage sent by the Yan family to pick them up, Yang Xiuyun held her mother’s hand excitedly and nervously.

Yan Siyu helped her daughter tidy up her hair, and said with a smile, “Don’t be nervous, your grandmother, uncle, and aunt are all very kind people.”

Yang Xiuyun nodded, “My daughter knows.” He hesitated for a while, Asked, “Mother, grandma’s birthday, why did the second master Han bring the eldest son of the Han family here?”

Yan Siyu pondered for a moment: “I’m afraid your eldest uncle intends to marry the Han family.”

Yang Xiuyun was stunned: ” Is it cousin Wenxiu?”

Yan Siyu said ‘hmm’: “Your cousin won the exam when he was less than 20, and now your uncle has a strong family, and the future is boundless.” He said , sighed, “It would be great if you were born two or three years earlier.”

Hearing this, Yang Xiuyun blushed, lowered her head and said coquettishly, “Mother, what are you talking about?”

Yan Siyu smiled: “Okay, okay Mother, don’t talk about it.” This is just her wishful thinking, and with the current official position of the elder brother, I am afraid that he will look down on the Yang family.

Not long after, the carriage stopped.

Yan Siyu took Yang Xiuyun out of the carriage, and saw the three elder brothers and sisters-in-law who were standing in front of the gate to personally greet her, tears filled her eyes, and hurried over.

Mrs. Li also hurriedly brought Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wu to meet her.
