There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Yan House.

Daohua, Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang, and Yan Yile just came out of their morning class and were about to go back to their respective yards. On the way, they met Pingtong and others who were delivering refreshments and fruits to Songheyuan.

Looking at the fresh fruit in the hands of the maid, Daohua smiled and asked, "Sister Pingtong, is there a guest here?"

Ping Tong motioned for the other little maids to continue delivering things, but she stopped: "It's not the guests, but the third and fourth masters are back, and the little prince and Dong Gongzi are also here."

Daohua's expression froze: "I only went home during the Mid-Autumn Festival a few days ago, why did you come back?"

Pingtong smiled and said: "The fourth master said that they came back this time to ask when the uncle will come back, so as not to miss the time for the uncle to congratulate him."

Daohua laughed a little: "They all have confidence in eldest brother, but eldest brother will not come back at least until the results of the township examination are announced. It should be September by then."

Pingtong nodded: "Madam said the same thing, but the old lady is still very happy when the third master and the others came back. Anyway, Ningmenguan is not too far from the city, and if you ride a fast horse, it won't take much to come and go. time."

"The old lady said that I used to study in the academy, but it was far away, so I couldn't go home often, but now it's close to home, and the training in the military camp is more difficult, and the food is not as good as that at home, so I want the third master and the others to come home to eat often in the future Woolen cloth."

After speaking, he paused and looked at the three of Yan Yihuan.

"The madam is also in the old lady's yard. The girls and the slaves went there together?"

The three Yan Yihuan smiled and nodded.

Daohua was silent for a moment: "You guys go first, I still have something to do here, I'll go over later."

Pingtong didn't suspect him, and said with a smile: "the big girl, you have to hurry up. After lunch, the third master and the others have to go back to the military camp."

Daohua nodded: "You guys go." As she said that, she led Wang Man'er towards her yard.

After returning to the yard, Daohua didn't do anything else, but just sat by the window and sprinkled the lotus with water with a kettle.

A few days have passed, and the lotus has withered a little, no longer as beautiful as before.

When Wang Man'er came in with the tea, she saw her own girl was pulling out the wilted petals from the lotus flower. She walked over and asked softly, "Isn't the girl going to see the fourth master and the little prince?"

Daohua reached out and took the teacup, bowed her head and drank the tea without saying a word.

At this moment, she did not know how to face Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang undoubtedly has a favorable impression of her, but she does not know whether she should maintain this favorable impression or stop it.

Emotionally, although she did not reject Xiao Yeyang's closeness, she felt that her feelings for Xiao Yeyang did not seem to have risen to the level of love, but she was reluctant to stop it like this.

Intellectually, she clearly knew that this relationship was full of too much uncertainty and instability. She was afraid that she could not bear it, and that the relationship would not last long.

"Hey!"

Daohua was a little upset, put down the teacup in her hand, and stared at the gate of the courtyard with her cheeks dazed.

Seeing this, Wang Man'er didn't say much, and silently backed out.

Songheyuan.

Seeing that all three of Yan Yihuan came over, but Daohua was nowhere to be seen, Xiao Yeyang frowned immediately, couldn't help but touched Yan Wenkai with his crutches, and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't your eldest sister come?"

Yan Wenkai was talking to Su Hongxin about what to eat for lunch. Hearing this, he was stunned for a while. He turned his head and looked around at the people in the room. Seeing that Daohua was indeed not there, he immediately asked Mrs. Yan, "Grandmother, where is the eldest sister? ?"

Mrs. Yan didn't know the reason and looked at Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li has been here with the old lady, and she doesn't know, but Pingtong just went out again, so she can only say with a smile, "I guess she was caught by something."

Yan Yishuang continued with a smile: "When we came over, the eldest sister said she had something to do."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang was a little disappointed, but when he thought that they would have lunch later, and they would always see Daohua, a smile appeared on his face.

However, he was still disappointed.

Daohua didn't show up until he left after lunch.

Yan's parents were all there, so he didn't want to ask Yan Wenkai too much, so he could only ride away with regret.

Fortunately, when he was leaving, Mrs. Yan asked them to come over for dinner every other day, so he had to point to the next time he came over to see Daohua.

In the following days, every three or four days, Yan Wenkai would take Xiao Yeyang and a few to Yan's house for dinner.

Compared with Yan Wenkai's happiness that several people could improve the food, Xiao Yeyang was full of depression and doubts.

He went to Yan's house three times in a row, and he never saw Daohua. At this time, he vaguely realized that Daohua was avoiding him on purpose.

But why?

Didn't he make her angry during this time?

Okay, why ignore him?

Xiao Yeyang was puzzled and anxious at the same time, so he wanted to ask Daohua about the reason, but she stayed in the backyard all the time, and he couldn't find a chance to ask.

Not only him, but also Mrs. Li noticed her daughter's strange behavior, but she agreed with it.

When my daughter is older, it is really not appropriate to see foreign men again.

In a blink of an eye, it was September.

On the second day of the September lunar month, Yan Zhiqiang came to the old lady's yard with a letter on his face, and before entering the house, he said loudly, "Mother, I have passed my literary studies and won the second place in the township examination."

Hearing this, the old lady and Mrs. Li in the room stood up excitedly, and Mrs Sun and Mrs Wu, who were sitting at the bottom, were also delighted.

Both of them knew that the better the bigger room, the better the second and third rooms would follow.

The news soon reached the ears of the four Daohua who were in class.

Daohua listened and smiled, but she didn't have much reaction. Whether it was Daddy Cheap, Master Xiao, or Grandpa Zhou, they all said that the eldest brother has solid knowledge, and he himself is also a hard worker, so she treats him It is very confident to pass the exam.

Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile also smiled brightly. Although they were not the compatriots and the elder brothers, the Yan family was not separated.

Among the four, only Yan Yishuang smiled reluctantly, but she was not happy for Yan Wenxiu, but, yesterday, the Lin family also sent a letter, and my uncle still fell out of the list this time.

God knows how much she hopes her little uncle will be in the middle. In this way, she, her fifth brother, and her aunt will be better off in the Yan family.

Pity.

Master Shen knew that there was a happy event at home, and the girls didn't want to study, so he gave them a holiday: "Okay, let's go and say congratulations to the elders in the family."

After coming out of the classroom, Daohua thought that Yan Wenkai would definitely come back after receiving the news. This time they came to congratulate her.

"Mother, I want to live in Peach Blossom Village for a few days. The elder brother is in charge. You should also tell my master to make them happy too."

Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter, pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "Alright, your master and Granny Gu are both old, so it's time to visit them more."

The next day, Daohua took a boat to Peach Blossom Village.

"Man'er, you go over there and then don't let that eagle get hurt."

When Daohua went to Taohua Mountain, she picked up the slingshot and aimed it at the falcon hovering over the Taohua Nunnery. The bullet of the slingshot was a little finger-sized drug.

Wang Man'er glanced at Daohua, hesitated, and ran into the yard after a while.

'boom! ’

Because the whip is about being fast, accurate, and ruthless, Daohua's hand is particularly stable, and the accuracy is not bad, and she hits the hawk in one stroke.

Gu Jian heard the movement and walked out of the room. Seeing that the little apprentice was dazed by the eyeliner placed here by his nephew, he looked slightly surprised.
