The next morning, Yan Zhiyuan got up with a headache.

"Did I say something I shouldn't have said yesterday?"

Mrs. Sun rolled her eyes at him: "Thank you for remembering that you were so powerful yesterday. You actually slapped the table in front of your mother and eldest brother and sister-in-law. That's all. You also yelled that Daohua was an uneducated person.

Wild girl."

"Listen to yourself, is this what you should say? In one sentence, you are scolding your mother, eldest brother, and sister-in-law."

Yan Yile, who was sitting aside waiting for breakfast, interjected: "Mom, I think dad is right. The eldest sister is yelling at dad because she doesn't have a tutor."

"Shut up, adults are talking, and your little kid has no business interrupting." Mrs. Sun glared at her youngest daughter. Yesterday, her elder brother and sister-in-law were all angry.

Now that Wenjie hasn't grown up yet, their family still has to rely on the eldest brother for support, but they can't get into trouble with the eldest brother over some trivial matter.

Yan Zhiyuan frowned, he thought more clearly than Sun, and immediately said: "Brother probably hasn't gone to the Yamen yet, so I'm going to apologize right away."

Seeing her father leaving quickly without even bothering to eat, Yan Yile curled her lips and looked a little dissatisfied: "Mom, why do we have to look at the faces of the uncle and the others in everything we do? Yesterday, the eldest sister was obviously right

Dad is disrespectful."

Mrs. Sun was silent for a moment, looked at her younger daughter who looked dissatisfied, and her eldest daughter who was sitting aside and didn't know what she was thinking. She thought for a while and said.

"Just because your eldest uncle is an official and your father is white, our second wife will have to be lower than the first brother."

"As for your eldest sister...she dares to contradict even your eldest uncle, so she is still afraid of your father?"

Yan Yile pouted: "Mother, I know that the reason why the eldest sister dares to do this is because she is close to the young prince? If the eldest uncle wants to be promoted, he has to rely on the young prince, so he will treat the eldest sister

So tolerant."

"But, mother, things are different now. In the past, the young prince only played with the eldest sister, but now, he is also willing to play with me and the second sister. We are no longer without a backer."

Sun glanced at her little daughter in surprise. She didn't expect that she would think so much at such a young age. She smiled and nodded her head: "My little prince has only played with you once. I don't know what will happen next time.

”

Yan Yile raised her head confidently: "The young prince will definitely play with us again. You don't know, but he said a lot to us yesterday, and he always had a smile on his face."

"When we get to know the young prince better, I will ask him to help find an official position for dad. The young prince is so powerful, this is not something that can be easily achieved."

Hearing this, Mrs. Sun was immediately shocked, but her eyes showed anticipation.

Over the years, she has made friends with many female officials and heard them talk about buying an official position. However, buying an official position requires a strong backing.

The young prince...maybe he can really help their family.

On the side, Yan Yihuan couldn't help but said: "Fourth sister, you are just wishful thinking. The reason why the young prince is chatting with us is because you took the flowers raised by the eldest sister and went to find him."

She could see this very clearly from the sidelines.

Moreover, the topics discussed between them and the young prince afterwards all revolved around the eldest sister.

"Also, buying an official position is not something we should be concerned about.

Yan Yile disagreed: "The flowers are just a stepping stone. Later, the young prince is willing to chat with us, isn't it because our conversation is interesting and can make the young prince happy?"

"As for buying an official position, if the eldest sister can ask the young prince to get places in the academy for the eldest brother and the others, then it's not a big deal to give dad an official position."

Yan Yihuan still wanted to reason, but Sun spoke up.

"Okay, don't argue anymore. No matter what, you two just need to remember one thing, that is, you must have a good relationship with the young prince in the future, and you can't offend the young prince like your eldest sister did."

"Mom, don't worry, we won't be as stupid as big sister!"

Main courtyard.

Seeing Yan Zhiyuan come over to apologize early in the morning, Yan Zhigao didn't know what to say.

On Mrs. Li's side, although she was still angry, for the sake of the old lady and her husband, she couldn't continue to pursue the case.

So, with everyone ignoring it intentionally or unintentionally, what happened on the day of Laba Festival just passed.

......

Two days later, Zhou Jingwan sent Daohua a box of silk flowers.

“It’s so well done!”

Daohua happily looked at the silk flowers in the box, and even took a plum blossom and asked Wang Maner to put it on her head. Then she looked at Zhou Jingwan: "Does it look good?"

"It looks good, whatever you wear looks good!"

Zhou Jingwan was very happy when she saw that Daohua liked what she had given her: "Let me tell you, this is the most fashionable silk flower in the capital. My second uncle brought it back to me specially, saying it was for fun with me when I go out during the Chinese New Year."

."

Daohua was surprised: "Your second uncle is back?"

Zhou Jingwan shook her head: "He is busy, how could he come back at this time? The servants in the mansion came back from delivering New Year's gifts and brought them to me by the way."

Daohua: "Your second uncle's New Year's gift was given so early. There are still about twenty days before the New Year."

Zhou Jingwan shook her head: "It's late. In our family, since my grandfather came back, my second uncle has delivered the New Year's gifts first, and my mother is preparing the return gifts. Send them back early, so that our return gifts cannot be received before the New Year.

Delivered to."

Daohua's expression changed: "Have you given your family a New Year's gift?"

Zhou Jingwan: "Not yet. My second uncle's arrived just yesterday. My mother still has to check it. It won't be so soon."

Daohua: "Does your family's New Year's gift take place by water? Then can our family accompany you to send the New Year's gift?"

After entering December, Mrs. Li began to prepare for the New Year's gift.

Among them, the one she heard about the most was giving New Year’s gifts to the fourth aunt.

Fourth Aunt is in the capital, which is quite far away, so we have to find a way in advance and send someone to deliver her.

She knew that her grandmother had been thinking about her daughter who was married away all these years, so she had been thinking about this matter in her heart.

Zhou Jingwan looked surprised: "Your family also has relatives and friends in Beijing?"

Daohua nodded: "Yes, my aunt."

Zhou Jingwan said immediately: "I have to go back and ask my mother first, and then I will reply to you immediately."

Daohua smiled and agreed.

On the same day, not long after Zhou Jingwan returned, she sent someone over to tell Daohua that her mother agreed.

The Zhou family always uses their own boat to send New Year's gifts to the Yan family, which is a simple matter.

After getting the exact news, Daohua immediately ran to find the old lady and Mrs. Li.

When she heard that the New Year's gift could be sent to Beijing together with the Zhou family, Mrs. Li was also very happy: "Then the relationship is good, I don't have to look for other ships."

Daohua sat next to her somewhat silent grandmother: "Grandma, this year my father will be promoted to magistrate, so we have to prepare a new year's gift for our fourth aunt."

Thinking of her daughter whom she hadn't seen for many years, Mrs. Yan's eyes were a little moist: "My good child, I'm sorry you are still thinking of your fourth aunt."

Daohua smiled: "Of course I have. I not only miss my fourth aunt, but also my cousin. Oh, I haven't given them gifts yet. Grandma, you have to help me choose carefully, so as not to

I lost face in front of my cousin and my cousin."

Hearing this, Mrs. Yan had a smile on her face: "Okay, grandma will help you check and make sure you don't lose face."

Daohua: "Since we are taking the waterway, I think it will take only a few days to reach the capital. The vegetables you planted in the greenhouse have been ripe for a long time. We will also send some to the fourth aunt, so that she who is far away in the capital can also

Eat vegetables grown by your own mother."

Mrs. Yan choked up a little and nodded with red eyes.

After my daughter got married, she never ate or cooked the food she cooked.

Although I can't cook a meal for her myself now, it would be good to let her eat some vegetables grown by myself.

"Also, I still have several jars of wine brewed. I will also send two jars to my fourth aunt. Whether I drink it myself or give it to others, I will have face."

"There are also wine and potted plants."

"Grandma, only you know what kind of flowers Fourth Aunt likes. It's up to you to choose."

"..."

On the side, Mrs. Li felt relieved when she saw her grandfather and grandson discussing the New Year rites with such enthusiasm.

In recent years, because of the deliberate alienation of the Yang family, the old man’s official position has not been promoted, and they did not dare to mention his sister-in-law in front of the old lady.

Now it's better. This year, the master was promoted to an official, and the family made some money from selling watermelons. It's time to prepare a rich New Year's gift for my sister-in-law.
