There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 65
[Chapter 65, Jade Pendant]
Zhigao hurriedly rushed to the post station, feeling extremely anxious, one was worried that his children would be bullied, and the other was that someone would take the opportunity to put shoes on him and pull him off his horse, so that he would not even be a county magistrate.
He is not stupid. He has served as the county magistrate in Zhongzhou Province for nine years. Although he has not accumulated many contacts, he can still receive some news. The reason why he has no hope of promotion these years is because someone above him is suppressing him.
He didn’t know what happened in the station, but he believed in the eldest son he raised.
Ever since the eldest son became a scholar, as long as he had time, he would explain some official affairs to him, and also analyze the future development of the Yan family by the way.
These years, the eldest son has lived up to his expectations. At a young age, he is steady and introverted, unlike the young him who was arrogant and arrogant. He offended people when he first entered the officialdom, and it is difficult to turn his back on him.
With the eldest son around, even if something happened, he would restrain the younger ones, but things still broke out, so most likely the other party deliberately provoked them.
Hey.
Yan Zhigao sighed silently.
This time, King Rui’s tour of Zhongzhou may be his only chance to stand up.
Some people in Zhongzhou Province are suppressing him, and it is too difficult for him to stand out. He could only point to this job report. With his achievements in resettling refugees in Linyi County, the officials from Beijing could pay attention to him as a person.
He didn’t want too much, he just wanted to get a fair evaluation, so that his efforts over the years would not be in vain.
But now that something like this has happened, no matter who is at fault, he may be the one who will be punished in the end.
He knew about the prefect of Fanzhou. Dong Buzhengshi, the chief executive of Zhongzhou Province, seemed to be of the same clan as him. With such a strong relationship, how could he, an official from a poor family, be able to resist?
Uneasy, the station arrived.
Yan Zhigao quickly jumped out of the carriage, and then rushed to the small courtyard where he lived.
But after a few steps, I realized something was wrong.
Yesterday, those officials who still ignored him took the initiative to greet him with a particularly good attitude, and many of them had official positions far above him.
Yan Zhigao smiled back, and returned to the small courtyard in a daze.
“My lord, you are finally back!”
As soon as he entered the yard, Master Xiao greeted him, followed by Li Shounian.
Yan Zhigao knew about Li Shounian, so he greeted him first, and then hurriedly asked Master Xiao: “What the hell is going on?” What’s the matter? Where are the Wenxiu?”
Master Xiao knew Yan Zhigao’s urgency and worry, and immediately comforted him: “Don’t worry, my lord, it shouldn’t be a bad thing!”
“Huh?” Yan Zhigao was stunned for a moment.
Master Xiao looked at the people passing by from time to time outside the small courtyard, and said with a smile: “My lord, let’s go into the room and talk!” The
three quickly entered the room.
Soon, Yan Zhigao’s surprised voice came from the room.
“What did you say? The governor of Fanzhou is going to bring his son over to apologize to Daohua later?!”
Yan Zhigao was really shocked.
Not to mention the relationship between Fanzhou Zhizhou and the chief envoy, just say that Zhizhou is a fifth-rank official, and his position is higher than him. Even if the matter is caused by Zhizhou’s son, Zhizhou doesn’t need to come in person, right?
Master Xiao hastily explained the cause and process of the incident, emphasizing the honorable son who gave Daohua a piece of unicorn jade pendant.
Yan Zhigao was speechless for a long time after hearing this, and asked after a while: “Where are Daohua and the others?”
Master Xiao: “Because of the fight, the young masters were more or less injured. They are being given medicine.”
Hearing this, Yan Zhigao couldn’t sit still, and just wanted to go over to have a look, when he saw Yan Wenxiu walked into the room.
“Father, are you back?”
Yan Wenxiu was overjoyed, and his tense mind finally relaxed. Although Master Xiao was there before, it was his father who made him feel most at ease.
Yan Zhigao inquired about the injuries of several people, and when he learned that there was nothing serious, he looked at Daohua, endured the restlessness in his heart, and pretended to be calm: “The jade pendant that young master gave you, show it to me! Without
hesitation, Daohua quickly untied the jade pendant from her waist, and handed it to her.
Yan Zhigao took the jade pendant carefully, it was a piece of emerald green warm jade, it was rare at first glance, it was not from a wealthy family, so it would never be possible to produce such a thing.
Master Xiao and Li Shounian next to him also came over. They wanted to see the jade pendant before, but they were too embarrassed to ask Daohua.
After rubbing it for a long time, Yan Zhigao handed the jade pendant back to Daohua: “This jade pendant is too precious, you shouldn’t accept it.” Hearing
this, Li Shounian looked at Yan Zhigao in surprise, but Master Xiao didn’t respond He has been by Yan Zhigao’s side for several years, and he knows how lofty this person is in his bones.
Daohua brought the jade pendant back to her body, and said indifferently, “I saved Xiao Yeyang’s life, I don’t think it’s okay for him to give me a jade pendant.”
Yan Zhigao glanced at the eldest daughter, moved his lips to say something What, but finally swallowed it back.
Seeing him like this, Daohua smiled: “Father, if you think this jade pendant is too precious, at worst, I will give him something when I see Xiao Yeyang again next time. I know, if you accept a gift from someone, you have to return it. I won’t just go in and out.”
Yan Zhigao hesitated to speak, his family didn’t have any good things that he could give back as a gift, moreover, would he be able to see people again in the future? Still two to say.
But he couldn’t say these words clearly, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
He didn’t say anything, but Yan Wenkai jumped out: “Big sister, we don’t seem to have any good things?”
Dao Hua: “What are you talking about, we have a lot of good things in our house.”
As soon as the words came out, everyone looked over, even Mr. Xiao looked at Daohua curiously. He probably estimated the family background of the Yan family, so he could only say that it was slightly better than ordinary people. Even some big families in the county Others may not be able to compare.
Yan Wenkai was stunned: “Why don’t I know, tell me quickly, what good things are there?”
Dao Hua: “I cook food, isn’t it a good thing?”
Everyone:
Seeing Dao Hua’s expression of course, Yan Wenxiu Several Qiqi looked away, even Master Xiao and Li Shounian looked away uncomfortably.
Yan Zhigao was also speechless, the good thing that the eldest daughter said was her food?
Yes, the food made by the eldest daughter is very good, but what has the son of a rich family not eaten or seen, and he can appreciate the ordinary food she cooks?
Fortunately, he thought that Madam secretly kept some valuables!
Seeing everyone’s disapproval, Dao Hua curled her lips.
Forget it, I’m too lazy to tell them more, how do they know the preciousness of space food?
Just then, the boy walked in.
“Master, the magistrate of Fanzhou has brought the young masters here, saying that he wants to make an apology to the young masters!”
Yan Zhigao stood up at once, exchanged glances with Master Xiao, and rushed out to greet him.
Daohua didn’t move.
Yan Wenkai tugged on Daohua’s sleeve: “Big sister, shall we forgive that Zhizhou son later?” Daohua: “Fourth
brother, this matter is out of our control. Adults are involved, and we children You only have to be obedient!”
Hearing what Daohua said, Yan Wenxiu at the side breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: “Everyone don’t talk for a while, we will do what father tells us, do you understand?”
Yan Wenkai Some are not happy: “It’s really cheap for that guy.”
Dao Hua touched the jade pendant on her waist: “Perhaps that Mr. Zhizhou also thinks that we have taken advantage of us.” If Xiao Yeyang hadn’t appeared suddenly, we don’t know how the matter would end!
I don’t know if I can still see that guy?
And what is his identity?
Following Yan Zhigao into the room, Dong Zhizhou’s gaze fell on the jade pendant in Daohua’s hand in an instant, his pupils flickered a few times, and the smiles on his face grew more and more.
“Aren’t you going to come in and apologize to your younger brothers from the Yan family?”
As soon as he came, Dong Zhizhou expressed his sincerity.
Dong Xiangrong looked unhappy, but under the pressure of Dong Zhizhou’s warning eyes, he walked slowly in front of Daohua and said without sincerity: “I’m sorry.”
Regarding this, Daohua pursed their mouths and did not speak.
In the end, Yan Wenxiu stepped forward with a smile and said, “It’s okay, in fact, we also made mistakes. I hope Brother Dong will forgive us for our mistakes.” After saying this, Dong Zhizhou
secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at it with satisfaction. Yan Wenxiu.
Although he doesn’t know the relationship between the Yan family and the little ancestor who came from above, it’s better not to offend. Today’s matter is not a big deal. It’s just a few children messing around together. As long as the Yan family doesn’t pursue it, this matter will be fine. Even in the past.
