Chapter 80, Small Chat

  After a busy day, the Yan family was too tired. After the delivery, everyone gathered in the courtyard of Mrs. Yan.

  Today, the old lady was also tired. The Yan family didn’t have enough hands. The old lady kept staring in the kitchen for fear that the meal would go wrong and let others watch Yan’s jokes.

   Seeing the old lady's face exhausted, Daohua walked behind her and smiled: "Grandma, I'll squeeze for you." After speaking, she put her hands on the old lady's shoulders and began to knead little by little.

  The old lady Yan was relieved, even though she was in good health, but when this person was getting older, she had to obey the old age, and after a long time busy, her body was a little overwhelming.

  Ms. Li looked at the old lady apologetically: “Let my mother get tired, after waiting for this period of time, I immediately set about buying people.”

Yan Zhigao put down the tea cup in his hand and nodded: "Our family has fewer servants. It was not obvious when I was in the county government. When I arrived in Xingzhou, there were more people coming and going, so I was a little stretched. This time I bought people. , Madam better buy more."

   Hearing the words, Daohua raised her eyes and glanced at the cheap father who only knew the order.

  Buy more people?

  Does he know that it takes money to raise someone?

  Just as Daohua wanted to say something, she saw Mrs. Li shook her head at her.

   Immediately, Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Okay, I get it."

   Yan Zhigao was satisfied, and began to talk about the situation of the banquet: "When the families left, their faces were all good, and the banquet was very successful."

  The words fell, Yan Zhiyuan immediately took the conversation: "Thanks to the eldest brother and sister-in-law in front of the coordination, otherwise, we all have to go around like headless flies."

   Yan Zhi waved his hand high, and smiled: "I know, you have worked hard this time. When your sister-in-law buys it, you won’t have to do everything yourself next time."

"This way." Yan Zhigao pondered for a while, looked at Mrs. Li, and said, "Madam, everyone is inseparable from people around. I think, this time buying people, the master will be accompanied by at least two people. What do you think? "

  Hearing this, Daohua endured and endured it. She couldn't help but asked the cheap father: "Father, can our family afford to raise so many people?"

  She was afraid that she would not speak, and her mother would bite the bullet again. At that time, she would be short of silver and had to use a dowry to fill it up.

  The Yan family has three bedrooms. The total number of owners, large and small, is 18 people, and each of them has two people, and there are 36 people.

  36 people have to send monthly bills and have to eat and wear. This is not a small expense!

   Yan Zhigao was stunned when he said this.

  Since Mrs. Li married him, he has hardly bothered about money matters. In the past, if there was any place where money was needed, as long as he spoke, Mrs. Li would be ready immediately.

  Buying people, he really hadn’t thought about the situation that he would not be able to support it.

  The others in the house looked at Daohua, and then looked at Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li. After all, they bought people for their convenience, and they naturally wanted this to happen.

   Yan Zhigao looked at Mrs. Li, as if asking.

  Ms. Li was silent for a while, and finally said: "Master, the situation at home is really not rich, or else, the men walking outside should be accompanied by two people. As for the female family members in the backyard, let's not add people."

Before Yan Zhigao spoke, Mrs. Yan made a final decision: "It's so set. A man can't walk away from others, so he should add someone; but a woman is in the backyard. With so many people."

After the old lady spoke, Yan Zhigao didn't say more.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant, Daohua smiled and asked the old lady Yan: "Grandma, I asked Man'er to prepare sweet soup. Would you like a bowl?"

Mrs. Yan nodded: "Come and have a bowl! I am afraid that I will lose my manners for a while, and I will be laughed at when I am rude, and I have not eaten enough at noon and night, so I can quickly give me a bowl." After that, I looked at other people, "Do you want to have a bowl too?"

  Yan Wenkai hurriedly jumped out and ran in front of the old lady: "Of course, grandmother, you don’t know. Grandson hasn’t eaten enough. The elder sister’s sweet soup came just right, so I think it’s a supper."

  A few small ones also said they wanted to eat, and the atmosphere slowly eased.

   Soon, the sweet soup was brought up, and everyone was eating and talking. The previous embarrassment seemed to have never happened.

  After eating the sweet soup, Mrs. Yan said to everyone: “Well, you are tired today, go back and rest soon.”

  Each room is separated.

During the period, Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin wanted to take Yan Zhigao to Shuangxinyuan, but who knows, as soon as the old lady ordered to leave, he and Mrs. Li left side by side, and they didn't even talk to him. .

  Main courtyard.

Mrs. Li took a look at Yan Zhigao's face and saw that it was pretty good, and then she said, "Master, don't be angry with rice flowers. That girl is an outspoken and can't turn her words. She has nothing against you. mean."

  Yan Zhigao patted Mrs. Li’s hand: "I know, you need to come over and explain it. I didn’t think about buying someone, so I should discuss it with you in private."

  Ms. Li smiled: “My family shouldn’t have to worry about the master. I didn’t do it well, and I haven’t saved any furniture for the Yan family over the years.”

  Yan Zhigao shook his head and sighed, "Where is your problem? It's me. I didn't become the head of this family."

Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "Master is busy benefiting the people. I should take care of the family's affairs. Master, don't worry, there is me at home. Now the money is tighter. When we have a firm foothold in Xingzhou, the day will be. It's alright."

   Yan Zhigao took Mrs. Li's hand and apologized: "Thank you, Madam!"

  Ms. Li smiled and said: "I am the wife of the master, and the head of the board of directors should be part of the business, so what a hard time!"

Yan Zhigao nodded, and then he seemed to think of something, and smiled: "Wenxiu and Daohua performed really well today. I was worried that Daohua would not be able to deal with the girls. I didn't expect this girl to deal with people. I don’t write any essays at all."

  The smile on Mrs. Li's face immediately increased: "The old lady taught well."

  Yan Zhigao nodded: "It's just that the personality is exposed. It's okay at home. It's not good to go out and not be able to hide things. You have to hurry up and find a good master for a few girls."

  Mrs. Li said seriously: "I will inquire carefully."

  Shuangxinyuan.

   Seeing Yan Zhigao did not follow Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin, Aunt Lin looked very disappointed.

  Today, the Yan family hosted a banquet, and everyone attended, but she was the only one except her, because she was a concubine and was not qualified to go out to meet guests.

  There was never a moment when Aunt Lin was so concerned about her status as a concubine.

  Before, when she was in Linyi County, even if she was a concubine, there were officials’ wives who had friendship with her; but now in Xingzhou, she has so clearly realized the difference between the concubine and the concubine for the first time in Xingzhou.

  During the day, Yan Yishuang was wronged by the ladies, and immediately came back to her and cried.

  At this time, she really realized the sorrow of the concubine's house. Not only did she have no face, but the children she gave birth were also inferior to others.
