There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 51

[Chapter 51, Wives and Concubines]

“Wenhui, what’s wrong with you?”

Yan Zhigao came to Shuangxin Yuan as usual, entered the courtyard, and found that his concubine did not greet him at the door as usual, so he quietly walked into the room , as soon as he entered, he saw his concubine motionless in a trance.

“Master is here!”

Seeing Yan Zhigao, Aunt Lin immediately put away her preoccupied expression and greeted him with a smile.

Yan Zhigao took her hand, and asked with concern: “What are you thinking, why didn’t you notice that I’m here?”

Aunt Lin shook her head, and said with a bitter face: “I didn’t think about anything, I just thought, It’s also thinking wildly.”

Yan Zhigao asked again: “What’s the matter?”

Aunt Lin hesitated to speak.

Yan Zhigao sighed, and patted Aunt Lin’s hand: “I know, you have been wronged during this period of time, I will tell you about your mother, you are so knowledgeable, after she understands how you are, naturally I will accept you.”

“As for Daohua, this girl is spoiled by mother, I will teach her well in the future. However, she is still young, so don’t take it to heart if she said something unpleasant. ”

Hearing this, Aunt Lin’s eyes immediately turned red: “I am just a concubine, no matter if it is an old lady or a big girl, no matter what they do to me, I will accept it, and I should accept it.”

“But Yi Shuang He and Wenbin are the flesh and blood of the Yan family, so they shouldn’t be affected by me.”

Yan Zhigao heard something in Aunt Lin’s words, and comforted him: “Didn’t I say that our family doesn’t have the rules of a big family, and Wenbin He Yishuang, in my heart, they are the same as Wenxiu, and I will not wrong them.”

Aunt Lin was moved: “The master loves his son, Wen Hui knows it well, and knows that the master will treat everyone equally, but I am worried It’s not this.”

Yan Zhigao was puzzled: “Then what are you worried about?”

Aunt Lin looked at Yan Zhigao, and seemed to muster up her courage before she said: “The eldest girl seems to dislike Wen Bin and Yi Shuang very much.”

Yan Zhigao frowned: “What did Daohua do again?”

Aunt Lin hurried Said: “It’s nothing, just today, Wenbin and Yishuang went to Zheguiyuan with the cakes brought by their younger brother, and invited a few girls and young masters in the family to Lianshi, and the eldest girl also went, but when she heard the cakes It was Yi Shuang and the others who brought it there, so they just threw it away.”

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao immediately showed an angry look on his face.

Aunt Lin looked at his face, and said cautiously: “Afterwards, the eldest girl left Zheguiyuan, went to the old lady’s place, and then invited the young lady and the young master to eat the distiller’s grains, but Yishuang and Wenbin I was not invited.”

At this point, Aunt Lin’s tone was a little anxious: “I’m not thinking about the big girl’s things, but both Yishuang and Wenbin treat the big girl as their older sister. She is treated so obviously differently now, and I’m afraid that she will be treated differently in the future. It will affect the brotherhood between them.”

Yan Zhigao stood up abruptly, and said angrily, “I’m going to the main courtyard, and later you can bring Yishuang and Wenbin to dinner by yourself.”

See Seeing Yan Zhigao leaving angrily, Aunt Lin showed a triumphant smile on her face.

Yan Yiyi, you made me lose so much face in front of the Yan family, this new year, don’t expect it to be easy!

“Sister!”

At this moment, Master Lin walked in.

Aunt Lin was surprised: “Little brother, why are you here?”

Master Lin: “You have been bullied, can I not come and see?” , can always inquire about some.

Aunt Lin cuddled in her heart: “It’s just a little girl’s film, don’t worry, your sister can handle it.”

Master Lin shook his head indeed: “Although the eldest girl of the Yan family is young, she is extremely intelligent, and her appearance is even more demeanor. She is very outstanding, sister must not be careless. Besides, there is a Bodhisattva, Mrs. Yan, behind her.”

Aunt Lin sneered: “What’s so clever about it? With such a wild temper, it’s hard to please others. You don’t know, she not only satirized me that day, even the master pointed at Sang Huai, and the master’s face turned red at that time. If this kind of thing happens a few more times, I guarantee that she will completely lose the master’s heart.”

“A daughter who is not valued by the master, even if the old lady is protecting her, what trouble can she make?”

Lin The master knew that his sister was angry this time, so after thinking about it, he said, “Sister, if you really want the eldest girl to completely lose the master’s heart, what you have done now is not enough.”

“Family matters, as long as you don’t go out , It’s all easy to solve. Only when the big girl provokes outsiders, the adults will severely punish the big girl in order to preserve their reputation.”

Aunt Lin’s eyes lit up: “What can you do?”

Master Lin: “This matter I’ll take care of it, sister, don’t do anything else, lest the old lady will have another opinion on you.” Aunt

Lin sighed and rubbed her forehead: “I don’t know how to please the old lady?”

Master Lin With a smile: “Sister, you still have me. It depends on human effort. The old lady will like you. These years, the front and back yards of the county government are not all praising you?”

Aunt Lin also laughed, and then He snorted coldly and said, “Since the arrival of the eldest girl, I haven’t had a good time. I really hope that this trouble can be solved in the coming year.”

“Yes.”

Main courtyard.

Yan Zhigao rushed over angrily, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Mrs. Li was checking the account book, with an unspeakably tired look on his brows, he was surprised when he saw him.

“Master, why do you want to come here?”

Yan Zhigao glanced at the thick ledger on the table, feeling a rare sense of guilt welling up in his heart.

He is tired of working in the county government, but his wife is also tired of taking care of the housework.

Forget it, for his wife’s sake, he doesn’t care about his eldest daughter for the time being.

He knew in his heart that back then, his wife was very reluctant to leave the eldest daughter in her hometown, but for the sake of filial piety and taking care of the backyard for him, she still held back her tears and agreed.

He is also responsible for the eldest daughter growing into her current temperament.

Now that the eldest daughter has only returned to his wife’s side not long ago, she has to be spoiled, and it will probably take a long time to bring back the eldest daughter’s temperament.

Yan Zhigao sat down with a straight face: “Why, I can’t come back?”

Mrs. Li put down the account book in her hand, and said with a smile: “The Yan family belongs to the master, and the master can go wherever he wants.” Then, he took a look The sky outside found that the sky was already a little dark.

“It’s already evening, counting the accounts, time flies quickly.” As he spoke, he put away the accounts and looked at Yan Zhigao, “Master, are you having dinner in the main courtyard tonight?”

Yan Zhigao was expressionless nodded.

Mrs. Li smiled, and her tone seemed to be a little lighter: “Then I will order someone to serve the food immediately.” During the

meal, there were only Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li.

Yan Zhigao: “Wenxiu and the others?”

Mrs. Li: “The old lady told me to eat in her courtyard.”

A quarter of an hour ago, the old lady Yan knew that her eldest son had returned to the main courtyard on her own initiative, and she was worried that her grandchildren would disturb the reconciliation. The husband and wife left the person directly.

Yan Zhigao nodded: “Now that Wenxiu and the others don’t have classes, they should spend more time with their bridesmaids. By the way, it was said that Daohua gave everyone distiller’s grains today?”

Mrs. Li glanced at Yan Zhigao with a pale expression. After a few minutes, she shook her head and said, “Nothing, there are not many distiller’s grains and rice flowers, and they said they would save them for the Chinese New Year. But today, the old lady was happy to see her grandchildren go to pay her respects, so she gave them a bowl to drink. ”

Originally, the old lady didn’t plan to serve everyone’s grandchildren, but just as Yan Wenxiu served the bowl, Yan Wenjie and the others arrived. She couldn’t be too partial, so she could only scoop up a bowl for everyone.

As for Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin didn’t drink, that’s because Mrs. Yan clearly expressed her dislike for Aunt Lin, the two of them complained about their own mother, and they didn’t go to Songheyuan very often, so they didn’t drink well. .

Yan Zhigao showed surprise, apparently he did not expect his mother to be involved in this matter.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Li’s face became even paler.

She said, how could the old master who had never bowed to her take the initiative to come to the main courtyard at this time?

Mrs. Li’s heart was slightly cold, and she said softly: “I heard that the taste of distiller’s grains is very good, but unfortunately, I, as a mother, couldn’t get a bowl to drink. After all, if I didn’t raise it by my side, I just don’t have deep feelings.”

Listen At this point, Ping Xiao who was standing by the table and waited quickly glanced at the inner room. At this moment, a small white porcelain jar was just right there.

The jar was full of mouth-watering lees.

There is something in Madam’s words, and the last sentence is satirizing the master!

Sure enough, Yan Zhigao’s face became a little unnatural.

Even a girl in Ping Xiao could understand it, and he, the client, knew it better. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he could only eat with his head bowed.

Mrs. Li: “Master, Chinese New Year is coming soon, I have to hurry up and read through the account book, you can go to Shuangxin Courtyard tonight, Aunt Lin is the concubine’s room, at this time she should play her role of serving others.”

“Crack!”

The sound of chopsticks hitting the ground sounded.

Yan Zhigao looked at his docile wife dumbfounded, as if he couldn’t believe that she would say such a thing.

The role of serving people? !!!

Madam, this regards Wenhui as a family-raised one.

Madam Li ate her meal calmly without looking back.
