Chapter 272, Isn’t It Too Good?
The next day, Yan Yishuang did not show up in class. Everyone in the Yan family immediately knew Yan Zhigao's attitude, which was tacit approval of Daohua's punishment of Yan Yishuang.
In the classroom, Yan Yihan and Yan Yile arrived early. Seeing that Daohua and the Li sisters had not arrived yet, they started whispering.
"After my third sister came back to the yard yesterday, she got very angry. I guess she was scolded by my uncle when she went to the front yard!" Yan Yile said with a smile.
Yan Yihan pondered for a moment and said, "This is what Third Sister asked for." After a pause, she said, "The front yard is where Uncle works. There are many men outside. We sisters really shouldn't go there."
"Even when my aunt had something to do, she would send a servant to fetch my uncle."
"Third sister ran to the front yard crying yesterday. Not only did she look bad, but she also brought shame to the Yan family."
Yan Yile nodded: "That's right, uncle cares a lot about his reputation. It's really unwise for third sister to make such a fuss." As he spoke, a hint of ridicule appeared on his face.
"She thinks she can still do whatever she wants like before because of her uncle's favoritism, but we can all see that her uncle no longer has the patience and love he once had for them, and she still doesn't realize it."
Yan Yihan was silent for a moment: "Uncle must be a little disappointed with my third sister and fifth brother now."
Yan Yile sneered: "Who said it wasn't? If Big Brother and the others hadn't been trapped in Xingyun Mansion this time, I wouldn't have known that they actually had such thoughts."
"This time when my eldest brother came back, I noticed that he wasn't as friendly towards my third sister and fifth brother as before. He looked very indifferent."
Yan Yihan: "When I was in trouble, my younger brothers and sisters actually wanted to take my place. I don't think anyone would be able to let go of such a thing!"
Yan Yile shrugged and sighed, "Mrs. Lin has been under house arrest for three years, and no one is speaking up for her. I wonder how long Third Sister will be punished."
This time Yan Yihan didn't reply.
It’s nothing special. Daohua brought the Li sisters over.
"Big sister, cousin Zixuan, cousin Zixin!" Yan Yihan took the initiative to stand up and greet them.
Yan Yile saw it, thought for a moment, and also stood up and greeted with a smile.
Seeing that the two were more enthusiastic than usual, the Li Zixuan sisters looked at each other and quickly returned the greeting with a smile.
Daohua smiled and said, "Master Shen is coming soon, let's sit down."
After that, Yan Yihan became more talkative and would take the initiative to discuss poetry and needlework with the Li sisters. If she saw that the Li sisters were not following the rules, she would take the initiative to correct them.
Seeing her sister like this, Yan Yile didn't want to be too different, so she often chatted with the Li sisters.
Seeing that the two of them were showing goodwill, Daohua didn't dwell on what happened before. Seeing that they got along well with their cousins, every time Zhou Jingwan came over, she would call them to Daohuaxuan, and everyone would talk and laugh together.
For a moment, the five of them got along much more easily and happily than before.
One day, Yan Zhigao was leaving the government office when he happened to see the five girls from Daohua leaving get out of class together. He saw the five girls talking and laughing, with Yile affectionately holding Zixin's arm. The two of them put their heads together and whispered to each other, and their expressions suddenly changed.
After quietly watching the girls leave, Yan Zhigao sighed, "Did I dote on Yishuang and Wenbin too much in the past?"
Wenbin is fine. He studies in the provincial school and comes into contact with many people, so he has some knowledge. Although he has some small thoughts in his mind, he still has some sense.
Ke Yishuang is really a little spoiled!
Who gave her the confidence to openly embarrass her stepmother's niece?
The lady is a virtuous woman, but it is impossible for her not to care about such things. He has heard that the meals at Lin's house have been changed from four dishes and one soup to two dishes and one soup, and that they can no longer have meat for every meal.
The daughter caused trouble, but her biological mother suffered the consequences!
No wonder aristocratic families always pay attention to the clear distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. Favoring illegitimate children is not only detrimental to the relationship between brothers and sisters, but will instead foster desires in their hearts, ultimately harming both themselves and others.
Thinking of his previous attitude towards his children, Yan Zhigao felt regretful.
The eldest daughter disliked Aunt Lin so much. After all, it was her fault for neglecting the lady. The eldest daughter had to stand up for the lady.
Looking at the silent master, Butler Sun lowered his eyes and dared not speak.
Yan Zhigao was silent for a while, and finally said: "It's time for Yishuang to temper her temper."
Otherwise, if she continued like this, he was afraid that she would offend the lady to death.
You know, when it comes down to it, the marriage of your children is still something that your wife has to deal with.
Butler Sun remained silent. He knew that the master did not really want to ask for his advice. He quickly raised his eyes to look in the direction of Shuangxin Courtyard and sighed in his heart.
A concubine is a concubine after all. She may be favored for a few years, but it won’t last forever.
Because they had missed classes for nearly three months, the Yan brothers did not return home at the end of October. For this reason, Daohua had to send someone to deliver food to the three of them in November.
Looking at the several carts of food prepared by Daohua, Li Zixuan and her sister were both surprised.
Li Zixin looked at the carriage piled high with things and asked, "Yiyi, can our three cousins eat so much?" There were vegetables, fruits, rice, noodles, pickles, and everything else.
Daohua smiled and said, "It's not just Big Brother and his friends. The last two cars are for Xiao Yeyang, and the one in the middle is for Big Brother Dong and Big Brother Su."
Afterwards, Li Zixuan saw Daohua had someone bring out two more jars of fermented rice wine.
One jar was loaded onto the carriages of the three cousins, and one jar was loaded onto the carriage of the young prince. The young masters of the Dong and Su families were gone.
Seeing this, Li Zixuan's eyes couldn't help but flash.
The fermented glutinous rice was brewed by my cousin herself, and it tasted very good. Unfortunately, the quantity was not large. She took a look and saw that there were only five jars.
One jar has been opened at home, and another jar was given to the daughter of the Zhou family. Now there are only three jars left.
My cousin was so generous that she gave the little prince a whole jar!
After a moment of silence, Li Zixuan finally couldn't help but speak: "Yiyi, are you being too nice to the young prince?"
Daohua was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "That's nothing. Xiao Yeyang has helped my family a lot and treated me well. He also supports my eldest brother and the others. I can't give him anything valuable in return, so I can only prepare more food for him."
There was another reason. Ever since she learned about the situation in Prince Ping's Mansion from Dong Yuanyao, she felt that Xiao Yeyang's life was actually quite difficult. He was alone in a foreign place, and he had an uncle who was often not around. So she wanted to take care of him as much as possible.
Li Zixuan said, "Vegetables are not expensive in normal times, but they are still very scarce in winter."
In the past, they had a greenhouse, but the vegetable yield was too low and the variety was pitifully limited. It was only in the past two years, using vegetable seeds from my aunt's house, that they had more food to eat in the winter.
But this way they can only supply it to their own family. If they want to give it to others, they definitely wouldn't dare to do it like their cousin did.
I wonder how many greenhouses my cousin has built on her farm?
Also, the food at my aunt's house seems to be better than the food at home.
Daohua didn't take it seriously: "What's the big deal? If Xiao Yeyang wants vegetables, he can definitely get them." After a pause, she said proudly, "But they're definitely not as good as mine."
"Don't say that. It's a blessing for Xiao Yeyang to know me. Apart from anything else, he will definitely enjoy a delicious meal." After saying that, he laughed.
Seeing that her cousin didn't think there was anything wrong, Li Zixuan had to suppress the strangeness in her heart.
She is fifteen years old this year, and her mother and aunt are already looking for a husband for her. It is inevitable that she thinks more about some things.
Maybe my cousin is still young and hasn’t figured it out yet?
I got back too late tonight, there is still one more update!
