"Miss Zhou is here!"

Seeing Zhou Jingwan, the maid in Daohua Pavilion immediately came up to say hello with a smile.

Zhou Jingwan nodded: "Where is your girl?"

Lixia smiled and said: "The girl is still leaning on the bed!"

Zhou Jingwan shook her head: "This lazy girl, let me make trouble for her." After saying that, she stepped into the door and walked straight towards the bedroom.

Seeing the little squirrel-clad little demon in rice flowers leaning against the bedside, lazily flipping through the storybook, Zhou Jingwan suddenly smiled: "Since Sister Li left, you have become more and more lazy. It's almost noon.

I haven’t gotten up yet.”

When Daohua saw it, she didn't sit up. She just put down her storybook, patted the edge of the bed, and motioned for Zhou Jingwan to sit over. Then she smiled and said, "It's New Year's Eve tomorrow, how come you still have time to run to my house?"
p>

Zhou Jingwan's face was stern: "Why, do you dislike me?"

Daohua picked up the storybook and covered her mouth with a smile: "Miss Zhou is here, and the small courtyard is full of flowers."

After hearing this, Zhou Jingwan smiled, then took off her boots and sat on the bed.

Seeing this, Daohua gave her a hammer, and then quickly moved into the bed. As she moved, she said, "You just came in from outside, and your body is still cold. You can't get into my bed."

Zhou Jingwan rolled her eyes at her: "Who wants to get under your bed!" After saying that, she also imitated Daohua and leaned on the pillow.

Daohua asked someone to bring a blanket over and cover Zhou Jingwan before going out again: "My father went to your house again?"

Zhou Jingwan nodded.

Daohua: "It's troublesome for Grandpa Zhou during this time."

Cheap Dad attaches great importance to this trip to Beijing to report on his work. These days, whenever he has time, he will visit Mr. Zhou at his home and listen to him explain the relationships between various families in the capital and the emperor's taboos.

After three years of getting along, the Yan family and the Zhou family can now be regarded as good friends.

Therefore, Mr. Zhou did not hide his secrets, and carefully analyzed the powerful relationship in the capital with Yan Zhigao.

Zhou Jingwan said casually: "Our two families are on good terms, isn't that what we should be doing?"

Daohua smiled: "I made medicinal food for my grandmother. When I go back later, you can bring some to Grandpa Zhou."

Zhou Jingwan nodded: "Okay, my grandpa likes to eat what you cook." After saying that, he turned over and faced Daohua, "I heard from my mother that Uncle Yan will definitely be promoted this time, whether he goes to Beijing or not.

, or transfer him somewhere else, we will be separated in the future."

Seeing Zhou Jingwan's expression of disappointment, Daohua pulled her hand: "Don't be like this, we can communicate frequently in the future. If my father's transfer place is not far from Xingzhou, we can still hang out from time to time."

Zhou Jingwan sighed: "But it's not as convenient as it is now."

Daohua nodded: "Yes!"

After a moment of silence, Zhou Jingwan suddenly said: "My brother's marriage has been decided. My mother said that after finishing my brother's affairs, it will be my turn, Daohua, there will not be many opportunities for us to meet in the future."<

/p>

Hearing this, Daohua also sighed: "I really don't want to grow up."

Zhou Jingwan looked melancholy: "Isn't it?"

On the same day, Zhou Jingwan had lunch at Yan’s house and did not return home until the afternoon.

After sending Zhou Jingwan away, Daohua just returned to her yard when she saw Wang Maner and Gu Yu, Li Xia were talking about something: "What are you talking about so enthusiastically?"

When Wang Maner saw Daohua, he immediately opened the door curtain and waited for her to enter the room before following her in. As he walked, he said, "The master just came back from outside and was blocked by the fifth master and the third girl."

Daohua raised her eyebrows: "Are they trying to plead with Aunt Lin?"

Wang Man'er poured a cup of tea for Daohua and said with a smile: "You really can't hide anything from the girl."

Daohua picked up the teacup: "What did father say?"

Wang Man'er: "The master said that the fifth master and the third girl are very filial, and they are allowed to have dinner with Aunt Lin in Shuangxinyuan during the Chinese New Year."

Daohua: "Aunt Lin was not released from the ban?"

Wang Maner smiled and shook his head: "No."

Daohua smiled, blew the foam in the tea cup, and took a slow sip: "I hope my father can always be so sober."

......

During the Spring Festival of the 19th year of Yongxing, Yan Zhigao was preparing to go to Beijing to report on his work and had too many things to do, so the Yan family was not too lively.

Worried about delays on the road, Yan Zhigao took Yan Wenxiu, Master Xiao and Qin Wu away as soon as the third day of the Lunar New Year passed.

As soon as they left, the Yan family became a little deserted.

Daohua actually had a good time, maybe because they were about to separate. Zhou Jingwan came to play with her almost every day. The two of them would either sit in the yard and talk about running a shop, or they would go out to walk horses together. They lived a very happy life.

Comfortable.

......

Yan Zhigao and his party arrived in the capital the day before the Lantern Festival.

As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they were greeted by servants of the Yan family who had been waiting here, followed by servants of the Yang family.

Yan Zhigao glanced at the servants of the Yang family, his expression a little cold.

When he was in bad luck, the Yang family's behavior was really ugly. If he hadn't thought that his sister was the Yang family's daughter-in-law, he would have never wanted to interact with such a relative.

"We have been on the road for more than ten days. We have to go home to wash up and repair ourselves. Let's pay a visit another day."

The servants of the Yang family immediately bent down and said yes.

Regarding the eldest brother of the fourth wife, the Yang family does not want to overtake him, even if the eldest son of his family is still above him in official position.

Before going out, the eldest father specifically told me to serve him carefully and not to offend anyone.

"Lead the way!"

Yan Zhigao said to his boy, and then got back into the carriage.

Everyone in the Yan family thought that the house was relatively remote, but when they stood in front of the gate, they realized that the house was only a few streets away from the palace.

Yan Zhigao was silent for a long time before turning to look at Yan Wenxiu: "Your sister said, how much money does this house cost?"

Yan Wenxiu smiled bitterly and said: "Two thousand taels!"

Yan Zhigao suddenly didn't know what to say: "...When you go back, ask your mother to make up the money for the young prince."

Yan Wenxiu shook his head: "The young prince will not accept it." Seeing Yan Zhigao frowning, he smiled and said, "The relationship between our family and the young prince is no longer in this day or two. We can slowly return it in the future."

Yan Zhigao nodded and saw someone nearby sizing him up. Without saying anything more, he led them through the door.

The manager of the house led the way and introduced the surrounding situation with a smile: "Most of the houses around are similar, and the residents are all the new rich in recent years..."

Yan Wenxiu sighed in his heart while listening.

The little prince’s house was a very thoughtful gift. It was in line with their current status and would not be too conspicuous.

Yang Mansion.

Seeing that Yan Zhigao didn't come, Mrs. Yang looked a little unhappy. She glanced at her daughter-in-law who lowered her head and said nothing: "Your eldest brother, you are separated from our family. When you came to the capital, you didn't say you would live in our family."

."

Yan Siyu thought to herself, the old lady didn't know what the Yang family had done to her mother's family in recent years, so she had the nerve to say such things.

Mrs. Yang saw that her four younger siblings were silent. Thinking of her husband's previous instructions to make friends with the Yan family, she had to smile and smooth things over: "Mom, the Yan family has a house in the capital, so you are embarrassed to bother us."

"I know you are always anxious to see your in-laws. They have already gone to Beijing, so you are not in a hurry for a day or two."

Mrs. Yang's face became better now and she asked, "Where is the Yan family's house?"

Yan Siyu replied: "Dongjiao Street."

Hearing this, everyone in the room was shocked.

Dongjiao Street, which is next to the inner city, is much closer than their home to the palace.

After being silent for a long time, Mrs. Yang looked at Yang Siyu: "How did your mother-in-law buy a house somewhere?"

The closer you get to the inner city, the more expensive the house is, and it’s also very difficult to buy. It’s not possible if you don’t have any means.

Yan Siyu was also surprised when she learned the location of the house, and said: "My daughter-in-law has not had much contact with the family in recent years, so she doesn't know about it."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yang and the other three daughters-in-law of the Yang family didn't hesitate to ask any more questions.
