There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 99

[Chapter 99, Calling the Problem]

Daohua didn’t know what the second uncle Yan Zhiyuan and Aunt Lin had said to the cheap father. At breakfast the next day, the cheap father was a little hesitant to talk to her, so she just passed it .

After the watermelons are harvested today, the second uncle will go back to Fucheng.

The first day of August is her birthday, and this time several cousins have prepared gifts for her, and she has to prepare gifts in return.

In addition to bringing a bamboo tube of jasmine tea to each person, some of the flowers that had been planted in the flower garden in the courtyard had already bloomed, and she transplanted them into flower pots, and each person gave a pot.

“Second uncle, you can come and see me more in the future.”

That afternoon, after the watermelon was loaded into the car, Li Xingnian was about to rush back to the provincial government.

On the provincial side, Li Xingchang has already contacted the buyer, and he has to quickly transport the watermelon back to others.

Li Xingnian nodded with a smile: “Okay, Second Uncle will definitely come to see Daohua more in the future.”

Daohua smiled and said, “When you come next time, bring your cousins, and I will take them to play in my village.”

Li Xingnian promised: “Okay, your cousins are tired of staying at home, let them come and have a look next time.”

Mrs. Li took the words: “Second brother, be careful on the road.”

Li Xingnian: “Don’t worry, We will reach Fucheng soon by water.”

After bidding farewell to Mrs. Yan, Li Xingnian left, and Yan Zhigao deliberately put aside his affairs in the yamen and came out to see him off.

Looking at the chariots and horses going away, Mrs. Li was a little bit sad, but at the same time she was a little relieved.

After being married to the Yan family for so many years, every time her natal family gave her something to supplement her, this time, she was able to send something back.

Although it’s just a cart of food produced in the field, whether it’s grapes or vegetables, even the noble little prince thinks it’s good to eat, and he can handle it.

“Mom, if you miss Uncle and them, at worst we go to Fucheng to see them.”

“There are so many things to deal with at home, so there is no time.”

“Sometimes, time, like that, crowded There is still some crowding.”

Mrs. Li: “.” My daughter’s words are strange, what do you mean?

Songheyuan.

Daohua happily remembers Zhuangzi’s account.

She directly wholesaled the watermelons to the second uncle at a 20% discount on the market price in Xingzhou City. As for the price he sold at the provincial government, she couldn’t care less.

“Grandmother, the watermelons on my village made more than five hundred taels of silver, do you think it’s enough to buy a shop in Xingzhou City?” Daohua asked suddenly.

Mrs. Yan glanced at her: “What are you buying the shop for?”

Daohua: “Selling things, I have planted a lot of flowers in my yard, after a while, I plan to transplant some beautiful ones to the Put them in flower pots, and sell them as potted plants.”

“Don’t literati like to gather together to enjoy flowers? It’s already mid-July, and whether it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival in August or the Double Ninth Festival in September, it’s suitable for gatherings. ”

“I planted a lot of chrysanthemums, and they will definitely sell well.”

“Well”

“There are fewer watermelons this year, and they are too late. Next year, we should plant them earlier. By then, the harvest will definitely be better than this year. By then It’s time, I still have to buy a Zhuangzi, which is specially used for growing flowers.”

“By the way, when the medicinal materials and fruit trees can be harvested and sold for money, I have to buy another Zhuangzi, which is specially used for growing medicinal materials.”

Looking at the granddaughter happily Looking forward to the future life, Mrs. Yan only felt happy and cheerful.

She likes to see Daohua’s eyes shining brightly and exuding infinite vitality. Seeing her like this, she always feels that life is getting more and more hopeful, and there is nothing difficult to live through.

“Oh, yes, there are also grapes. After I make the wine, I will have another income.”

“Wait a minute, I’ll ask my mother to help me look after the shop.” Daohua tidied up the bills and looked at Old Madam Yan with a smile, “Grandmother, when I prepared grapes for the second uncle, I asked someone to send some more grapes. , I’m going to learn how to make wine right now, do you want to watch it?” The

old lady Yan got up swiftly: “Go, why not!” After sitting idle all day, her body is going to rust.

In the evening, when everyone came to Songheyuan for dinner, Daohua had already sealed a small jar of grapes according to the practice of her previous life.

Before the food was served, everyone sat in the old lady’s room and chatted.

During the period, Yan Wenjie looked at his parents from time to time, hoping that they would tell his uncle about going to Wangyue Academy to study.

The eldest brother will leave the day after tomorrow, if you don’t talk about it, it will be too late.

Yan Zhiyuan didn’t move. He expected that Aunt Lin would not let it go. It was better for her to come up with this trick.

Sun has been watching Yan Zhiyuan’s eyes, seeing that he is silent, she has no choice but to endure the impatience in her heart.

“Mother, please sit down for a while longer. I’ll go and see if the food is ready?”

Mrs. Li went to the dining room. Not long after she left, Aunt Lin suddenly brought Yan Wenbin and Yan Yishuang over.

Seeing Aunt Lin, old lady Yan’s eyes flashed with displeasure, she glanced at Yan Zhigao, who looked a little uncomfortable beside her, and said lightly, “What are you doing here?”

A gentle smile appeared on Aunt Lin’s face: ” The daughter-in-law has not been able to greet the old lady for a long time, so I came here specially to say hello.”

As soon as the words came out, Dao Hua immediately frowned, glanced at the cheap father who seemed to have not noticed anything, and then at the silent father. other people.

The eldest brother Yan Wenxiu looked a little ugly, moved his lips, and seemed to want to say something, but after glancing at cheap father, he swallowed the words back, and it can be seen from his frown that he is suppressing his emotions .

As for the fourth brother Yan Wenkai, he was whispering to the third brother Yan Wentao, but he didn’t hear what Aunt Lin said at all.

The people in the second room may have heard something, but they didn’t even intend to speak.

People in the third room have been staying in the country all year round, and they don’t understand the rules of addressing wives and concubines at all.

Daohua let out a sigh of relief, luckily her mother was not in the room, otherwise she would be sad.

“Fifth brother and third sister, I have something unclear and I want to ask you for advice.” Ever since she learned the rules from Mrs. Shen, she knew that in ancient times, even if the elders made mistakes, the younger generation could not point them out in person. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful and disfilial. .

She can’t say cheap father, as the eldest sister, younger siblings should be able to say it.

Both Yan Wenbin and Yan Yishuang didn’t expect Daohua to talk to them suddenly, so they froze for a moment.

Yan Yishuang glanced at Yan Zhigao, thinking that her father was here, the eldest sister didn’t dare to do anything, she changed her smile and said, “Please tell me, eldest sister.”

Daohua raised her eyes to Aunt Lin, and asked with a smile: “Brothers and sisters are better than you. I have a lot of education, I would like to ask, can a concubine call herself

a daughter-in-law?” After saying this, Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin changed their expressions, and the expressions of other people in the room also fluctuated, especially Yan Zhigao , He didn’t notice Lin’s address just now.

Aunt Lin’s complexion changed drastically, as if she was frightened, she knelt down with a ‘bang’: “Miss, it’s my fault, I was too nervous just now and said the wrong thing.”

Daohua’s expression remained unchanged , looked at Yan Wenbin, and said lightly: “Before, the fifth younger brother called Aunt Lin wrongly, and now Aunt Lin herself has made a mistake. Didn’t it mean that Aunt Lin came from a scholarly family? Why, the rules are not as good as mine A person who grew up in the countryside?”

It may not be a problem to call this question in modern times, but in ancient times, it represented status to a certain extent. Aunt Lin called herself daughter-in-law in front of her grandmother, which was to replace Mrs. Li. ?

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao’s face was very embarrassed. Although the eldest daughter didn’t speak to him, the complaint in her words was obvious.

At this time, he was also thinking, is he pampering Lin too much?

Calling herself a daughter-in-law to her mother, is this what a concubine should do?

The old lady Yan was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses, and then she was furious: “Mr. Lin, do you think the old lady doesn’t understand anything, so you can fool me as you like?”

Seeing that the old lady was angry, Aunt Lin immediately kowtowed, saying Constantly begging for mercy: “Old lady calm down, I will never dare again in the future.”

Seeing Aunt Lin like this, Yan Wenbin and Yan Yi also knelt down and begged for mercy.

Seeing them like this, Yan Zhigao was a little angry and a little distressed. After thinking about it, he still couldn’t help but said to the old lady: “Mother, don’t be angry, Mrs. Lin, I will talk about her well in the future.

” He glared at him fiercely: “You are Zhizhou now, and the rules of the family can no longer be as loose as before. Those who should be established must be established. Don’t look different every day, and each person is different.”

Yan Zhigao: “Mother said The thing is, my son will pay attention.” The

old lady Yan waved her hand: “Okay, let her go down, look at her like this, if you don’t know, you might think the old woman is a wicked person.”

Aunt Lin said immediately after hearing this: “Old lady, I know I’m wrong, please don’t be angry, because I’m so angry that I’m not worth it.” After finishing speaking, he immediately looked at Daohua: “Miss, don’t be angry, I said something wrong , I will apologize to Madam later.”
