There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 67

[Chapter 67, Ascension to Zhizhou]

“Wenxiu, you guys have a good rest today, tomorrow my second uncle will come and take you to Fucheng to have a good time!”

After the yard was moved, officials came to visit Yan Zhigao one after another. I stayed for a long time, and after talking for a while, I was ready to leave.

Yan Zhigao wanted to receive other officials, so it fell to Yan Wenxiu, the eldest son, to send them off.

Yan Wenxiu knew that his younger brothers and sisters were active, and wanted to visit Fucheng, so he smiled and thanked him: “Then there will be Uncle Lao.”

Li Xingnian patted Yan Wenxiu on the shoulder: “What are you talking about, you, I have been so polite since I was a child, who are we, your dear uncle, why shouldn’t we do something for you?” As

he spoke, he sighed.

“You, don’t push yourself too hard, and don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Studying is important, but you have to play. Now your father is taking care of everything at home, so you don’t need to worry about it. ”

Hearing such caring words, Yan Wenxiu said in his heart that it would be a lie if he was not moved, but the introverted temperament he had cultivated since childhood made him not know how to express it, so he just nodded silently.

Li Xingchang smiled and said: “I came here this time to take you to live at home, but seeing the current situation, I’m afraid you won’t be able to go.”

Yan Wenxiu smiled: “Father said that he will come to visit him when he is done with his work.” ”

Li Xingnian shook his head: “You probably don’t have time this time, you can only wait until the next time .” Li

Xingchang: “Go back quickly, I just took a look, and many officials have come, don’t worry about them all. For what purpose, follow your father to see more, it will meet more people, whether it is learning or dealing with the world, it will be of great benefit.”

Yan Wenxiu listened carefully, although his uncle and uncle were businessmen, he still Very respectful, I will always remember what they said.

The two parties said goodbye at the gate of the post station. Yan Wenxiu wanted to leave after Li Xingchang and Li Xingnian got on the carriage, but the two refused and let him go first.

Brother Li Xingchang didn’t walk towards his carriage until he could no longer see Yan Wenxiu’s back.

In Fucheng, a lot of news spread quickly, and there were a lot of pedestrians coming and going at the gate of the post station. No, soon someone knew that the brothers of the Li family and the Yan family were related by marriage.

The moment the two of them got into the carriage, they received greetings from many people.

“Hmph, I didn’t expect that Master Sun of Wanjin Tower would take the initiative to say hello to us?” Li Xingnian said with a playful smile as he got into the carriage.

The Li family’s business in Fucheng is not big, and there is no strong relationship behind them, so they can only be regarded as third-rate merchants, while the Sun family behind Wanjinlou is one of the best merchant families in Zhongzhou Prefecture.

In normal times, if the Li family came to ask for an interview, they might not even be able to see Mr. Sun’s shadow.   Li Xingchang

opened a corner of the car curtain, looked at the excitement at the entrance of the post station, and looked a little serious: “This time, for the Yan family, I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a disaster?”

It’s too high, the Yan family is a poor family with no foundation, and if one doesn’t pay attention, he may become a victim of power struggle.

However, thinking of his niece’s sharp and sly eyes, he smiled and said, “It’s not a disaster. I think that girl Daohua is smart. She wouldn’t take the jade pendant if it was hot.”

Hearing this, Li Xingchang also smiled: ” That girl looks like a younger sister, and these years, my younger sister has had a hard time in the Yan family, but after hearing that Daohua went to Linyi County, she often

vented her anger for her.” Li Xingnian smiled more: “That stubborn temper Like me.”

Li Xingchang glanced blankly at his second brother, who is the oldest and not the younger brother: “Daohua is a girl, if she is really like you, my sister will have a headache.”

Li Xingnian disagreed: “I think this is very good, it’s okay to have a tough temper. Being bullied, the younger sister is too virtuous, and she was stepped on by a concubine all these years.”

“Hey” Li Xingchang sighed, “She is also for our Li family, you are not ignorant of Zhigao’s attitude towards merchants.”

Li Xingnian snorted coldly: “Pedantic! Without our merchants, how can goods be circulated everywhere?” , Buying and selling? I think some people are stupid in reading and studying!”

“People in the world are like this, so don’t say a few words.”

In the next few days, Yan Zhigao was either in the government office or was invited by other officials to be a guest; Daohua and the others, accompanied by Li Xingnian, wandered around Fucheng in a daze.

During this period, Li Xingnian was responsive to the little ones, and bought everything they liked. Even Yan Wentao got a lot of gifts, which made him very embarrassed.

Cannibalism is short but hands are short, Daohua, the fake child, is also a little uncomfortable, so she can only say good things: “Second uncle, you are so kind, I originally brought gifts to uncles, aunts, and cousins this time. Yes, who knows that someone broke it.”

Li Xingnian knew this, if it wasn’t for recovering the potted plants that he wanted to give them, Dao Hua would not have confronted the young master of Fanzhou Zhizhou. But said.

“You can’t be so reckless next time. Fucheng is no better than Linyi County, nor your hometown in the countryside. There are more noble people here. You don’t know who you will meet.”

“This time you are lucky. When it comes to nobles, otherwise, if you offend Young Master Zhizhou, even your father will follow suit.”

Daohua sighed: “Second uncle, don’t worry, I will tighten my tail and be a man in the future.”

Li Xingnian watched her pretend With a strange look, he nodded her head. After a few days of contact, he knew that this niece was young, but she was already very measured in handling things, so he didn’t say anything more.

At the same time, the chief envoy of Zhongzhou City.

This job report was the smoothest for Yan Zhigao.

In the past, every time he came here, he would receive a lot of trouble, but this time, let alone trouble, even his immediate superiors treated him kindly.

He knew that these were all because of the noble son who was saved by the eldest daughter.

These days, he made many inquiries, although he didn’t get any definite information, but he also knew that the young master was following King Rui at this very moment.

Prince?

Or King Rui’s son?

Yan Zhigao didn’t dare to think too much, at this moment, his mood was extremely restless, he had a premonition that this time, he might really go up.

The main hall of Si Ya.

Chief Minister Dong Chengcheng is reviewing Yan Zhigao’s political achievements over the years.

What happened at the inn that day, the eldest son told him that day.

Although he still doesn’t know the relationship between the young prince and the young master of the Yan family, King Rui told him later that if Yan Zhigao is a practical person, he should be mentioned.

The prince has already opened his mouth, and he must mention it, but how to mention it and to what extent it is a bit difficult for him.

“This Yan Zhigao’s political performance is good, why hasn’t he been promoted?” Dong Chengcheng was a little puzzled.

The subordinate officer next to him laughed and said, “Your Excellency may not know that this Yan Zhigao is an arrogant and incompetent person. When he was transferred to Zhongzhou Province, he offended Du Shenyi.”

The subordinate officials did not say anything after that. I also know.

Dong Jiancheng didn’t say anything, he was dispatched to Zhongzhou Province, and he would return to Beijing as soon as his term of office expired. He didn’t want to get involved in the struggles of local officials at all, but asked, “Where do you think he should be mentioned?” The

subordinate officer smiled: “Of course, wherever it is beneficial to the adults, I will be transferred there.”

Dong Chengcheng smiled in satisfaction, but the smile on his face soon disappeared: “The little prince doesn’t want to go back to Beijing, and now he is in Beijing. I’m having trouble with King Rui. Yan Zhigao’s promotion can’t be too high or too low.”

“In this way, he can be promoted to the fifth-rank magistrate state, and he can be promoted to three levels at once, which can be regarded as honoring the prince and the little prince. You can see where there are vacancies in Zhizhou, and choose one who is not too high or too low for Yan Zhigao.”

“Your officer obeys!”
