There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 79

[Chapter 79, various discussions]

After the dinner, Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li began to send off the people who came to the banquet.

Daohua was not idle either, and followed behind the adults, saying goodbye to the little girls who came one by one.

“Yan Yiyi, my family will hold banquets from time to time, and I will post for you when the time comes.” The little girl Zhou Jingwan still had a proud face, but after a day of contact, her attitude was much better than when she first met, at least not Stop looking at people with your nose.

Daohua smiled and nodded: “Then I will wait.”

These days, Mrs. Li has made up for her about the situation of a large family in Xingzhou. The Zhou family is a famous family in Xingzhou. I have visited the ancient giants.

Zhou Jingwan nodded reservedly, and then got into the carriage behind Mrs. Zhou, holding a flower basket full of wild flowers in her hand.

After getting into the carriage, Mrs. Zhou took a look at her youngest daughter. She knew her daughter’s temperament. Because she was favored at home, she easily looked down on her. She was very arrogant.

“Why, do you like the eldest girl of the Yan family?”

Zhou Jingwan played with the flower basket in her hand, nodded her head first, and then shook her head: “I don’t like it that much, but she is different from girls from other families, and she won’t always be in love with her.” Come to my side and get along well. Well, it’s quite comfortable.”

Mrs. Zhou glanced at the flower basket in her daughter’s hand, and said with a smile: “I heard that you planted the flower basket for a day today?”

Zhou Jingwan nodded repeatedly: “There is still a competition. “As he spoke, he moved the flower basket to Mrs. Zhou’s eyes, raised her head, and said with an air, “How about it, my daughter put it beautifully, I won the second place!”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou raised her brows. Whenever it comes to talent show, her girl will always win the first place, no matter how strong she is. Of course, she knows that it’s all for the sake of the Zhou family.

It was the first time she heard that her daughter didn’t win the first place, and she was a little surprised.

“Then who won first place?”

Zhou Jingwan: “Qian Bilan won the first place, mother, let me tell you, the flower basket she put in is so beautiful, I wanted to exchange it with her, but Yan Yiyi said, this is the first time in our lives that we put it in independently. The flower basket from Qian Bilan has special meaning, so you should hold it by yourself.”

“My daughter thought about it, and she thinks what she said is quite right. If I take Qian Bilan’s flower basket home, everyone will say it looks good, but I I inserted it myself, and grandpa will definitely praise me.”

Mrs. Zhou nodded her daughter’s head: “It’s really embarrassing for you, but you know how to use your brain.” After finishing speaking, she took the flower basket and looked through it, “This Yan family It’s a coincidence that the big girl’s thoughts are good.”

She didn’t insist on using her own shortcomings to compete with the girls from other families, and used the things she was familiar with to attract the girls’ attention. While controlling the home field, she would not make others feel uncomfortable. A person who is clear.

“Hey, what is this?” There was actually a bamboo pot in the flower basket!

Zhou Jingwan: “This is the jasmine tea that Yan Yiyi gave us, mother, this tea is delicious, even better than the West Lake Longjing that my second uncle specially gave to grandpa.”

Mrs. Zhou remembered the tea she drank in Mrs. Li’s courtyard. , nodded: “It’s really good. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. Since you have received tea from others, you have to send something back during the Dragon Boat Festival.”

Zhou Jingwan: “Well, I’ll go back and think about it.” Tong Zhijia, who

was a little behind In the carriage, Mr. Tongzhi was also talking to his wife and daughter about his visit to Yan’s house.

Qian Tongzhi: “Judging from the dishes of this banquet, our new Master Zhizhou should be regarded as a clean and honest person.”

Mrs. Qian hesitated: “Maybe… Master Yan made it for everyone on purpose? I But I heard that Mr. Yan served as magistrate for three consecutive terms before, and he didn’t move up a step in 9 years, maybe there is something wrong with him?”

Qian Tongzhi shook his head: “It’s really long hair but short knowledge, I really think Is it so easy to get promoted? The Yan family came from a poor family, and it is very normal to be suppressed in the officialdom and to be falsely claimed credit.

” I can’t do it.”

Madam Qian curled her lips: “I’ve heard that Mr. Yan’s promotion this time seems to be because he has climbed up to a nobleman, not because of his ability.”

Hearing this, Qian Tongzhi sighed , his wife is quite tactful and considerate in dealing with people, but because of her low background, her vision is still too low: “It is a skill to be able to get into the eyes of noble people.”

Qian Bilan, who was sitting by the side, noticed that her father seemed to be a little bit Getting angry, she immediately changed the subject with a smile: “Father, mother, my daughter won the first place in this flower arrangement competition. Look, this is the flower basket put by my daughter.”

Hearing this, Madam Qian was not only unhappy, but even Looking at

Qian Bilan with an accusatory face: “You girl, why are you so pushy? Didn’t Mother warn you to give way to Miss Zhou’s family? How could you get the first place?” The smile on her face froze in an instant, and the hand holding the flower basket froze in mid-air, and the joy in her heart disappeared without a trace at this moment.

Qian Tongzhi glared at Mrs. Qian: “What are you talking about?” He took the initiative to take Qian Bilan’s flower basket, and praised, “Our Lan’er’s hands are ingenious, and the flower basket is beautifully arranged.”

Qian Bilan looked good. After thinking for a while, he hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: “Daughter must be careful next time, and won’t compete with Miss Zhou’s limelight.”

Qian Tongzhi waved his hand: “I can’t blame you for this. You are a guest, so naturally you want guests to come along with you .” It’s up to you. The result of your competition should be decided by the eldest daughter of the Yan family, right?”

Qian Bilan nodded: “Not entirely, everyone has expressed their opinions.”

Qian Tongzhi asked with a smile: “You little girls didn’t make trouble . Get up?”

Qian Bilan shook her head: “Ms. Zhou was a little dissatisfied at first, but then Sister Yan didn’t know what she said to Ms. Zhou, and Ms. Zhou stopped talking.”

Qian Tongzhi lowered his eyes and thought . After thinking for a while, he smiled and said to Qian Bilan: “In the future, I will spend more time with the eldest girl of the Yan family when I have free time. She is a very thoughtful girl.”

Qian Bilan agreed with a face: “Miss Zhou’s temper is not very good, and she is also arrogant, but sister Yan is not afraid of her at all. Today, Miss Zhou and Wang Yuwei from the Tongdan family had a dispute, and she did not blindly favor her. Miss Zhou family.”

Qian Tongzhi: “It’s rare

not to fall in love with you.” Mrs. Qian somewhat disagreed: “What’s so rare, the Yan family just came to Xingzhou, this will offend the Zhou family, Mr. Yan, as an acquaintance of the state, won’t last long. ”

Qian Tongzhi shook his head, didn’t bother to explain to his wife, and continued talking to Qian Bilan.

At the same time, the Tongdan family got on the carriage.

“The Yan family’s foundation is poor, but the home-cooked food is pretty good.” Wang Tongpan is still thinking about the food of the Yan family at this moment.

Mrs. Wang smiled angrily and said: “Look at your prospects, how can such food catch your eye?”

Wang Jiahua, son of the Wang family, said a fair word for Wang Tongpan: “Mother, the Yan family’s food is really good.”

Wang Yuwei She curled her lips: “Brother, you and Dad eat too much delicacies from mountains and seas, so you think the porridge and side dishes are delicious.”

Wang Tongpan: “Okay, don’t say that these are all gone. You two, hurry up and talk to Dad. Tell me, how about this young lady of the Yan family?”

Wang Jiahua thought for a while: “The young master of the Yan family is very knowledgeable, and he is also a prudent person.”

Wang Yuwei: “The young lady of the Yan family is not very good, she is a hidden traitor, today I and Zhou Jingwan had a little quarrel, originally we could handle it by ourselves, but she wanted to intervene and take the opportunity to please Zhou Jingwan, anyway, I don’t like her.”

Mrs. Wang: “If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. I also read it today. The rules of the Yan family are not very good, Li’s family was born as a merchant, and he looks quite virtuous, but he is afraid that he can’t tolerate people inside, and the concubine in the family has been brought up to be very petty, which is very embarrassing and conspicuous.”

Wang Tongpan touched it. With a beard on his chin, he looked at Mrs. Wang: “Did you find out what I asked you to inquire about?”

Mrs. Wang shook her head: “Mrs. Zhou didn’t say anything, but Mrs. Tongzhi asked with a smile in front of everyone. It’s a pity that Mrs. Li didn’t seem to understand, so she just changed the conversation.”

“Master, I look at the Yan family, it doesn’t look like they can make friends with noble people, don’t you make a mistake?”

Wang Tongpan didn’t speak, but thinking of Du Shenshi’s words, he felt a big headache.
