There is Room For the Poor Daughter

In another guest house, Yan Siyu, his son and daughter were also talking about everything about the Yan family.

"Mother, my uncle's house is not like what my grandmother and aunt said."

Stepping on the window, Yang Xiujun was trimming the flowers in the vase according to her own preferences, while talking to Yan Siyu and Yang Hongrui.

In the Yang family, the eldest aunt would not waste money buying flowers and let them put them in the house in winter.

There is a pot of begonias in the second sister's room, but she hides it as a treasure. Only when she invites other girls to the house for a small gathering, will she take it out for viewing.

But such bonsai can be seen everywhere in the Yan family, even in the guest house where they live. There are several pots in every room, which is a great deal.

Yan Siyu glanced at the glass vase used for flower arrangement, pursed her lips and said nothing. Her family's wealth really surprised her.

The glazed mirrors, glazed windows, and various colored porcelain tea sets in her mother's room had only been seen in the homes of a few colleagues from aristocratic families whom the Yang family had made friends with.

Although the food at home is not delicious from the mountains and the sea, in the winter, the dishes of fresh vegetables are not heavy. From the casual appearance of the sisters-in-law and nieces, you can see that they are often eaten at home, not because there are guests. , specially bought from outside at a high price to entertain guests.

Looking at the silent mother and sister, Yang Hongrui lowered his head and drank the tea without opening his mouth. The surprise and shock in his heart were no less than theirs.

He moved out of the backyard long ago, and he didn't hear much about the gossip that his grandmother and three aunts seriously injured the Yan family, but it was not uncommon for his father to dislike the Yan family.

My father often said that my eldest uncle is pedantic and doesn’t know how to be flexible. Although he has good knowledge, he prides himself on being lofty. Knowing the prefect, I don't know how far I can go.

But today, the eldest uncle he saw was upright and dignified. Although he was a little unsmiling, he had a literati spirit. When he got along with Mr. Han Er of the Earl's House, he was polite and calm.

Such an uncle may be a bit lofty, but it is not the pedantic in his father's mouth.

After coming to Yan's house, after what he saw and heard today, he found that their family was really narrow-minded and short-sighted, and suddenly he knew the reason why his uncle didn't want to be close to his family.

Yan Siyu suddenly looked at his son: "What do you think of your eldest cousin's knowledge?"

Yang Hongrui put down the teacup and said sternly: "The eldest cousin is very knowledgeable and has unique insights. Most of the things he talks about are meaningful. Compared with his son, he is far behind."

Yan Siyu smiled: "Your eldest cousin is a few years older than you and reads more books. It is normal for him to be more knowledgeable than you. Don't be discouraged."

Yang Hongrui nodded, but didn't tell his mother that the knowledge of the eldest cousin is not only achieved by reading a few more books.

Everyone in the world wanted to become a Beijing official. After reading a book, he was always proud that the Yang family was a Beijing official, but after coming to the Yan family, the confidence in his heart disappeared.

Not to mention the eldest cousin, he is the second cousin, and he is also far behind in terms of human relationships.

Yan Siyu continued: "Since your eldest cousin is very knowledgeable, you should ask him for advice in the future."

Yang Hongrui nodded: "My son will."

Yan Siyu said again: "Your grandmother said that your third and fourth cousins ​​will go home in two days, and they have been following the little prince of Prince Ping's house, and you should also get along well with them. ."

Yang Hongrui smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, my son will get along well with his cousins."

Yan Siyu didn't speak any more, and glanced at the well-behaved daughter, her eyes drooping slightly.

Her parents' family is getting better and better, and she is really moved by her husband's suggestion of getting married.

Let's take a look again. Don't think about Wen Xiu from the elder brother's house. Even if she mentions it, her mother and elder brother and elder sister-in-law will not agree. Now only Wen Kai and Yi Yi are left.

Wen Kai hasn't looked at anyone yet, but his age is suitable for his daughter. As for Yiyi being spoiled by his elder brother and sister-in-law, can his son afford it?

Just looking at Yi Yi's clothes today, she felt a little shiver in her heart.

Kesi jackets, enamel pendants, hibiscus jade pink bracelets, golden pocket watches, no matter what, they are all things that cannot be bought with money, and even the girls of ordinary lords in the capital may not have such a style.

son

Yan Siyu looked at her son and sighed slightly. His son doesn't even have any fame now, even if she wants to get married, she can't open her mouth.

After a while, when the tea cup bottomed out, Yang Hongrui stood up and said, "Mother, my son has returned to the room first, so you and your sister should rest early."

Yan Siyu nodded: "Okay, let's go to rest." Then he looked at Yang Xiuyun, "You also go to rest."

main courtyard.

Mrs. Li looked at her daughter who was sipping milk and said, "Why didn't you invite your cousin to live with you? I think your grandmother really wants to stay with your aunt, but unfortunately your aunt can't worry about her children."

Daohua took a look, put down the bowl, and wiped her mouth before saying, "Didn't you say that Auntie and the others may have to live there? Everyone's living habits are different. In a few days, everyone can accommodate each other, but it takes a long time. It's inevitable that there will be a rift, so it's better to live separately from the beginning."

Mrs. Li glanced at her: "You don't seem to like Xiuyun very much?"

Daohua hurriedly shook her head: "No, not at all, it's just that Cousin Xiuyun is a lady, and the rules and etiquette are engraved into the bones. When I'm with her, I have to stretch myself from time to time. I'm too tired."

Mrs. Li said angrily, "You, you are just too lazy at ordinary times. You should learn from Xiuyun."

Daohua looked frightened: "Mother, you can just do it. Your daughter, I can't learn that in my life. It's too boring to be holding it all the time."

Mrs. Li snorted: "Your grandmother has been thinking about your aunt all these years, don't neglect Xiuyun."

Daohua nodded and said, "Mother, don't worry. I don't look at the face of the monk, look at the face of the Buddha, but look at the face of my grandmother. I will also warmly entertain cousin Xiuyun."

In the next few days, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Sun, and Mrs. Wu were preparing for the old lady's life, while Yan Siyu stayed by her mother's side to do her filial piety, and Daohua also received Yang Xiujun, Yan Yunxi, and Yan Yunyan because she wanted to help the director. The matter was taken over by Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang, and Yan Yile.

As for Mr. Han Er, Yan Wenxiu was in charge of the reception.

Yan Siyu and Yan Wentao came back on the third day that Yan Siyu, mother and son arrived at Yan Mansion.

"My nephew has given my aunt a blessing!"

Looking at his nephew, who was bright, handsome, and not at all, Yan Siyu looked surprised: "This is Wen Kai, right?"

With undisguised joy on her face, Mrs. Yan said with a smile: "Isn't it this hozen, he has the loudest voice in the whole family."

Yan Siyu hurriedly helped Yan Wenkai up and said with a smile, "He's really tall and strong."

Yan Wenkai scratched the back of his head: "Auntie, the tallest and strongest person in my family is not me, but the third brother." After speaking, he turned to look at Yan Wentao beside him.

Yan Wentao smiled and stepped forward: "Wen Tao pays homage to aunt, aunt Wan'an."

Yan Siyu hurriedly stretched out her hand to help the person: "Get up." After saying that, she looked at Yan Wentao carefully, and then smiled at Mrs Wu, "Sister-in-law three, Wen Tao looks really mighty."

Wu's face was full of smiles: "He, he has a lot of brute strength."

After that, Daohua introduced Yang Xiuyun to the two.

After seeing the ceremony, Yan Wenkai said to Daohua, "Eldest sister, when my third brother and I came back, Brother Dong and Su Hongxin said that Sister Dong and Sister Su will come over in two days, so you have to prepare."

Daohua smiled casually: "There is nothing to prepare. They used to live in my yard before, and this time it will be the same."

Hearing this, Yang Xiujun glanced at Daohua quickly, then lowered her head silently.

Yan Wentao interjected: "Don't forget that there is sister Zhou, brother Zhou is also coming."

Daohua was instantly overjoyed: "Jingwan is coming too? That's great, I haven't seen her for a long time."

Yan Wentao smiled and said, "The last time I met Brother Zhou, he also said that Sister Zhou misses you, but he never had a chance to go out."

Speaking of Zhou Jingwan, Yan Wentao's words were obviously a lot more, which attracted Yan Wenkai to look at him.

Fortunately, a few small talk, adults did not notice.
