There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 87

[Chapter 87, Exclusion]

the turmoil of being squeezed out and changing seats has passed, and the four Daohua begin to attend class normally.

Unlike Master Qin, who only knows how to read from books, Master Shen pays great attention to the combination of knowledge and life, and often tells stories from life to deepen the girls’ understanding.

Therefore, her class is relaxed, and even Yan Yile, who is the most active, is no longer as bitter and bitter as before when it comes to class.

In addition, under the hands-on guidance of Mrs. Shen, Daohua’s female celebrity has made rapid progress. In addition, she has calmed down and practiced more. Now the embroidered handkerchiefs, purses and other small items are no worse than the other three girls.

Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Daohua embroidery had finally stopped pricking their fingers full of needle points.

Mrs. Yan: “Let me just say, Daohua in our family is so smart, how could he not be able to learn female red? It turns out that the master didn’t teach well.”

Mrs. Li: “Isn’t it? To invite a good teacher, everyone is willing to let go of their status, and invite them three times and four times, a good teacher is really important.”

Unknowingly, the Dragon Boat Festival has arrived.

The first Dragon Boat Festival of the Yan family in Xingzhou was not so good, there was no other reason, Yan Zhigao was too busy, and it was at this time that Daohua knew that the government affairs of the cheap father in the state government seemed to be not going well. Not so well.

“Mother, why do I think my father has lost a lot of weight?”

Mrs. Li’s brows were a little worried: “Is it possible to lose weight? I am so busy every day, and I get up early and sleep late.” Daohua showed

doubts: “The government affairs of Dangzhizhou are indeed better than those of Dangzhi County. There are many, we know that there are more subordinates in the state than in the county magistrate. It stands to reason that my father should not be so busy.”

Mrs. Li sighed: “Xingzhou’s officialdom is intricate, and there are many big families. Either this is connected to marriage, or It’s not good for those relatives to have big backgrounds. Your father has just arrived and has no support behind him, so naturally there are some officials who can’t be assigned. ”

“Your father is a shy person, especially when it involves the people’s livelihood. Whenever he encounters it, he can’t wait to solve it immediately. If others are lazy and don’t want to do it, he has to do it himself.”

Daohua Ning eyebrows: “These officials are so Arrogant, aren’t they afraid that their father will give them bad reviews during the year-end assessment?”

Mrs. Li: “One or two are naturally afraid, but if the whole yamen is like this, would your father still dare? The officials under him are all bad reviews. This also indirectly reflects that your father is not strict, and when the time comes, others may be fine because of their connections behind the scenes, and your father will be the first to go around.” Daohua opened her

mouth wide and said in surprise: “The whole yamen will not accept father Why? I heard Mr. Xiao said that my father is quite capable of handling affairs.”

Mrs. Li showed helplessness: “Silly girl, your father has been promoted to three levels in a row, which makes people jealous. It has nothing to do with his ability to handle affairs.

Daohua frowned tightly: “Then what should I do, there are so many things in a state, can’t they all be on my father?” Seeing

Daohua’s worried face, Mrs. Li smiled gratifiedly. Don’t look at usually not willing to get close to the master, but when he heard that the master was excluded in the state government, he still couldn’t help but care.

“Don’t worry, your father will take care of it. Similar things happened before when he took over as county magistrate. As the days went by, your father gradually took care of it.”

Daohua: “That’s too tiring.”

Mrs. Li: “Then what can we do? Our Yan family’s foundation is indeed too weak.”

At this moment, Wang Man’er came over with a bamboo basket with a smile: “Miss, Miss Zhou’s gift for the Dragon Boat Festival.”

Daohua was a little surprised, and took it curiously: “What is it?” Then she flipped through it.

There is a box of rice dumplings and several delicate sachets.

There were not many things and they were not expensive, but it was the first gift she received that was given to her alone.

Looking at the things, Dao Hua thought for a while, and asked Wang Man’er, “Has the sender from the Zhou family left?”

Wang Man’er: “Let’s go, but I shouldn’t have gone far.”

Daohua: “Quickly, you go and ask the porter to stop him, and I will bring something to Miss Zhou.” Anyway, they sent things over, why? It’s also a friendship, and she has to return a gift.

Mrs. Li watched Daohua leave quickly and did not stop her.

Although the Yan family also gave the Zhou family a gift, but it was given according to the usual practice, and it was just to maintain a relationship. It’s hard to say how much friendship there is.

But the private exchange of gifts between Daohua and Miss Zhou’s family can draw the relationship between the two closer.

She was born in a merchant family, and even though she is now Mrs. Zhizhou, she can still sense the contempt in the eyes of some female relatives.

After arriving in Xingzhou, although I participated in some banquets, most of these banquets were invited by the master who knew the state. During the period, the wives of the various families treated her politely, but they did not show any alienation. cover up.

Even Mrs. Tongzhi, who had the most contact with her, only paid lip service to her, not being close to her.

If she can’t make friends with the female relatives of officials, she can’t often take her daughter to visit various houses, which is not good for her daughter’s growth and experience.

Miss Zhou’s family was born in a great family, if Daohua could make friends with her, she would also have a boudoir sister.

Zhou family.

Mrs. Zhou took a look at the gift that Daohua gave Zhou Jingwan, and saw that it was just some rice dumplings and two boxes of rouge paste, so she signaled the maid to accept it.

Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: “After the Dragon Boat Festival, let’s see how many gifts our family Jingwan has received?”

The mother next to her answered with a smile: “The Zhou family is a family in Xingzhou, and the old lady is the former chief minister of the cabinet, a disciple Therefore, officials are spread all over the world, and each family naturally wants to curry favor with each other.”

“If this gift is delivered to the Zhou family in the open, it will be considered a bribe if it is expensive; if it is too light, it will not be on the table. No, the fifth girl in our family will become a It’s a springboard for some people.”

Mrs. Zhou cast a sidelong glance at the old nanny, and scolded with a smile, “You can see clearly.”

The old mother: “It’s not just the old slave who can see clearly. The fifth girl is smart and quick-witted, and she has known the attention of each family. No, isn’t the distance with the girls of each family well maintained?”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou smiled. He smiled: “This person’s heart is full of flesh, who is real and who is fake, if you see more, you will naturally be able to tell the difference.” Then, he sighed again.

“Jing Wan grew up in such an environment, and I don’t know if it’s good for her or bad?”

After speaking, thinking of the flower basket still hanging in her daughter’s room, she ordered: “Wait for Jing Wan and her little sisters When you come back from watching the dragon boat, you can hand over Miss Yan’s gift to her.”

The old mother hesitated for a moment: “I heard that Mrs. Yan doesn’t seem to be having a good time in the state office. Is the girl close?”

Mrs. Zhou: “Let’s not worry about men’s affairs, it’s rare that Jing Wan likes someone, so it’s okay to let her get closer.”

“Yes.”

Tong Zhijia.

Qian Zhuo glanced at the zongzi sent by Yan’s family, and sighed: “Take it away.” He wanted to do things well with Master Yan, at least do his job well. But Wang Tongpan’s rejection of Mr. Yan was so obvious that he had to avoid suspicion.

Mrs. Qian hesitated: “Wang Tongpan is not a reckless person, why do you just…?”

Qian Zhuo’s eyes were deep: “Don’t forget, there is Du Shenyi standing behind Wang Tongpan. Gossip, it is said that Mr. Yan once offended Du Shenyi, I don’t know if it is true?”

Mrs. Qian: “Isn’t it said that Mr. Yan’s family has a noble person behind him? How dare Du Shenzhi do it so obviously?”

Qian Zhuo: ” Why else, it may be that the nobleman can’t threaten Du Shenshi, or maybe the nobleman forgets too much and has forgotten about the Yan family.”

Madam Qian: “In this case, let’s stay away from the Yan family, Du Shenshu is not good Please.”

Qian Zhuo pondered for a moment, “The relationship between Bilan and the eldest girl of the Yan family is still maintained.” Who knows, will the so-called nobleman appear again?

General judge.

Mrs. Wang didn’t like the simple zongzi sent by the Yan family, so she gave it to the servants directly.

Wang Hexi didn’t say anything when he saw it.

Mrs. Wang: “If you want me to say, there is no noble person behind this Yan family. Otherwise, he can’t move an inch in the state government, so he can’t resist asking for help?”

Wang Hexi glanced at Mrs. Wang: “There must be. , it’s just that the relationship between the Yan family and the nobleman is not as deep as we imagined.” He sneered.

“That’s right. As far as the Yan family’s family background is concerned, even if they get lucky enough to befriend a nobleman, they probably won’t have the ability to maintain a good relationship with the nobleman.”

Mrs. Wang is slightly worried: “Master, you are targeting Master Yan so much now. In case, I say yes.” In case that nobleman suddenly thinks of Mrs. Yan, why don’t you?”

Wang Hexi was very calm: “I don’t care about anything? I follow the rules in the state government, and even if Mrs. Yan is dissatisfied, I can’t find anything wrong. “I

really thought that he had been an official all these years for nothing. It was ordered by Du Shensui to exclude Mr. Yan. If he wants to climb up, he has to rely on Du Shensui. Therefore, he has to do some things.

But this does not mean that he will block all roads.

All things stay on the line, he still knows.
