Chapter 1040, Can’t Get Rid of
Seeing Yan Yile again, Daohua felt a little weird looking at her forced straight back, high chin, and her efforts to show that she was not to be looked down upon.
"Second Aunt, Fourth Sister, are you all okay on the way here?"
Sun smiled and nodded quickly. She had been feeling fearless because she was an elder, but after seeing the rice flowers, her expression became a little restrained.
"Okay, we're all good."
After not seeing her for a few years, Daohua has become more and more like a princess. Even though she has a friendly smile, she still exudes the aura of a superior that makes people dare not look directly at her.
Daohua smiled and asked everyone to sit down, then asked the maid to serve hot milk tea: "It's almost October, and the weather is getting colder day by day. Let's have a cup of milk tea first."
As he spoke, he looked at Sun with a smile and asked her about her family matters.
"The old lady is still in good health. Every spring and autumn, she comes to the farm to supervise the spring plowing and autumn harvest. No one can stop her."
"My eldest brother and his wife are both doing well. He's a bit busy at the government office, and his wife is always playing with the grandchildren when she's free. They're living a very comfortable life."
"Although your third uncle and aunt have moved out, their new house is just across the street. They gather at the main house every few days, and everyone is quite active."
"Your second brother has settled down in the Hanlin Academy. Last year, your second sister-in-law gave you a little niece. Now that your second brother has a son and a daughter, your second uncle and I can rest assured."
Having said that, Sun glanced at her youngest daughter sitting next to her, and thought of her eldest daughter's instructions before she went out, asking her not to trouble Wenxiu and Daohua too much. She hesitated for a moment and finally did not mention the matter of her youngest daughter.
Daohua smiled and said, "Everything is fine at home, then I feel relieved."
Yan Yihan spoke up at this time: "Big sister, I have been in Liangdu for a few days. I have a lot of things to do at home, so I plan to take mother and Yile back tomorrow."
Daohua looked surprised. She had expected that when Second Aunt came to Xiliang to find a partner for Yan Yile, she would definitely stay in Liangdu. But this time the sun rose from the west?
Han Xinran smiled and said, "Second sister is needed by my second brother-in-law, so naturally, I am anxious to go back."
Daohua nodded and said nothing more, but just invited the person to stay for lunch.
In the meantime, while Sun's mother, daughter and two were away, Daohua pulled Han Xinran aside to ask about the situation, and Han Xinran told her about picking up the person yesterday.
"Yile hasn't changed at all. She's still the same as she was at home. No, her temper has become even more extreme."
Daohua thought about Yan Yile, who had been silent except for the greetings since they met, and sighed, "It seems that the divorce has had a great impact on Yile."
Han Xinran nodded, then looked a little uncomfortable: "The reason why Second Sister left so quickly is probably because she heard me and your eldest brother complaining."
Daohua comforted her, "Second sister still has some sense of propriety. It's good that she heard it. There still needs to be a boundary between relatives. We can't let them develop the habit of relying on the eldest wife for everything."
Han Xinran's face was full of agreement.
After dinner, everyone chatted about family matters for a while, and Daohua personally escorted Han Xinran and Sun's mother and daughter out of the house.
In the evening, after Xiao Yeyang left the government office, he saw Daohua playing hide-and-seek with the twins, looking relaxed. He immediately asked with a smile, "Why didn't your second aunt and the others ask for your help this time?"
Hearing Xiao Yeyang's teasing tone, Daohua glanced at him: "From your tone, it seems like you really want me to be entangled in their affairs."
Xiao Yeyang laughed: "I was just surprised. The second branch of your family is very good at causing trouble. Every time they come to your house, don't you have to clean up the mess?" As he said that, he picked up his daughter and lifted her into the air, making his aunt laugh.
Daohua: "I was a little surprised this time too." She smiled and said, "Second Aunt and Yile were taken over by Second Sister. My eldest sister-in-law and I were relieved."
Xiao Yeyang put his daughter down and picked up his son: "Don't be too happy too soon, I think I will have to come to you in the end."
"People are always greedy and always want to be better. Plus, Second Aunt has high standards. I don't think the people in Lanwu Mansion can meet her requirements."
"Where in Xiliang are there so many talented young men? Liangdu, and you're Princess Weiyuan, so you know so many people. If not you, who else should I look for?"
Daohua hit Xiao Yeyang: "Don't be such a pessimist."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and didn't continue the topic: "It will be three years since Xiliang implemented the administrative division by the end of this year. Three years constitutes one term. Find a time to have your eldest brother come to the mansion so that I can ask him about his future plans."
Daohua: "Brother will definitely choose to stay. Xiliang is currently experiencing rapid development and faces many challenges. Whether it's personal ability, experience, or political achievements, you can all be promoted. This is something you can't achieve elsewhere."
The most important thing is that Xiao Yeyang is in charge of Xiliang. With him as a backer, if the eldest brother has any good ideas, they can be better implemented and his ambitions can be realized.
Xiao Yeyang thought so too, but he had to ask anyway. After that, he didn't say much and concentrated on playing with the twins.
The next day, Yan Wenxiu and Han Xinran escorted Sun's mother, daughter and two others out of the city gate.
Watching the carriage go away, Han Xinran breathed a sigh of relief in an exaggerated manner: "Fortunately, my second sister is a good person. Finally, I don't have to personally ask about my fourth sister's marriage."
Yan Wenxiu was not so optimistic: "Don't be too happy too soon, you might have to come back in the end."
Han Xinran's face froze: "No way?"
Yan Wenxiu: "When choosing a wife for Wenjie, I saw how picky Second Aunt was. Yile has been divorced before, so Second Aunt will definitely be even more careful."
Han Xinran had a headache and clasped his hands together, praying to God to bless Yan Yile to find a good husband in Lanwu Mansion.
It's not that she doesn't care about the relationship between relatives, but Yan Yile is really ungrateful. If she gets involved in her marriage, it's fine if she lives a good life, but if she doesn't, she will definitely be blamed.
Seeing his wife avoiding him, Yan Wenxiu thought for a moment and said, "Among the three branches of the Yan family, only the second branch is doing worse off. For the sake of grandma, let's help as much as we can."
"Let Second Aunt and Yile go to Lanwu Mansion first. After they have lost their pride there, they can come back to us and we will help them make a careful selection."
Han Xinran stopped talking. Her husband had spoken, and she had to accept it even if she didn't want to.
The time shifted to November.
The snow in Liangdu this year was particularly heavy. After one night, the snow piled up to more than one meter high.
After several consecutive heavy snowfalls, Daozi stopped going to the academy and studied with the teacher in the mansion every day.
Without going to the academy, Daozi had more free time.
The little boy of six or seven years old is at the stage where he loves to run and jump. He is full of energy every day. He runs away after dinner and no one knows where he and the servants go.
But the twins just like to play with their brother, and Daohua is afraid that they will be cold, so she has to keep them in the house.
"I want my brother."
"Let's play together."
Seeing the noisy twins, Daohua had no choice but to call Daozi back. Seeing Daozi's reluctance, she asked with a smile, "Can you make a snowman?"
Daozi's eyes lit up: "Mom, teach me how to make a snowman."
Daohua: "Then you have to accompany your brothers and sisters."
Rice: "Okay."
