Chapter 549, Something is happening
Yan Mansion.
Because two large farms were added last year, and her right-hand man Qin Xiaoliu went to the capital, many spring plowing matters had to be taken care of by Daohua herself, so she had to see the manager every day.
It wasn't until the tenth day of the second month, when he was about to set off to attend Zhou Chengye's wedding, that he finally had some free time.
Main courtyard.
Daohua flipped through the new clothes sent from the sewing room and looked at Madam Li: "Mother, did you make too few new clothes?"
Madam Li shook her head: "No, I won't be taking Yile and Xiujun to the Zhou family this time."
Rice flowers were surprised.
Madam Li explained, "Yile used to be a talkative person, but because she was young, I always treated her with care. But now she's grown up, and I can't do that anymore."
"As for Xiuyun, she will follow your eldest brother back to the capital after returning from the Zhou family. It's better to let her stay in the mansion and keep the old lady company."
Daohua was silent for a moment: "Mom, do Grandmother and Second Aunt have any objections?"
Madam Li smiled and said, "Why would they object? Your Second Aunt knows what's right and wrong. If Yile's temper isn't properly managed, she'll definitely suffer when she marries into her husband's family. Your grandmother also agreed to not let Xiuyun go."
The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh and blood. As a grandmother, you naturally don’t want any trouble when your grandson finds a good marriage.
The rice flowers stopped talking.
On the day of going out, Yan Yile stood behind Sun with a pout, watching her aunt and her three sisters get into the car and leave.
On the way back, Sun took her unhappy little daughter by the hand and took the opportunity to lecture her: "Let's see if you can use your brain when you speak in the future. Our family depends on the eldest branch. If your aunt really wants to argue with you, your parents will be helpless."
Yan Yile was dissatisfied and anxious: "Why does our second branch have to rely on the first branch? I don't like this at all. It was fine before, but now our first branch has to depend on the first branch more and more."
Sun sighed, "It's because your father and your second brother are incompetent. If only one of them could show some promise, the three of us, mother and daughter, would be more confident."
As she spoke, Sun touched Yan Yile's head.
"Listen to mother and change your temper. If you really don't want to have to deal with other people, get close to your aunt so she can find you a good marriage."
Yan Yile pouted and asked, "Will my aunt really find a good marriage for my second sister and me?"
Sun smiled and said, "Of course, you married well. It's not only good for our Second House, but also for the First House. Yile, you have to remember that although we have some conflicts with the First House, we can't write two Yan characters with one stroke. We prosper together and suffer together."
"If you are bullied in your husband's family in the future, your uncle, a fourth-rank prefect, will be here to support you."
"Among your brothers' generation, your eldest brother is the most promising. Wen Kai and Wen Tao are training with the young prince, and their futures are promising. For your future, you must maintain good relations with them. If you need anything later, you can ask them for help."
"Mom, you should learn more from Yishuang in this regard. Without Aunt Lin's instigation, that girl has become more and more shrewd. After returning from the provincial government, I have seen her giving gifts to Wenxiu and others several times."
Yan Yile nodded gloomily: "I understand."
Xingzhou, Zhoufu.
Madam Zhou and Zhou Jingwan met Madam Li, Daohua and others in front of the Chuihua Gate.
Zhou Jingwan grabbed Daohua as soon as she came up: "Okay, you agreed to come early, and this is how you come early? My brother is getting married the day after tomorrow."
Daohua quickly apologized: "I really didn't mean to do that. I was just too busy with the spring plowing."
Zhou Jingwan also knew that spring plowing couldn't be delayed. She snorted at the rice flowers and forgave her. "I was thinking I could spend a few more days with you before going to Beijing, but now I'm afraid I can't."
Daohua smiled and said, "Then we'll get together again when you come back from the capital."
Zhou Jingwan smiled and nodded: "Then you must keep your word."
It was already evening when Daohua and his group arrived. Because they had been on the boat, everyone was a little tired. After dinner, they talked for a while and then went to rest.
Daohua slept in Zhou Jingwan's room.
Before going to bed, Daohua and Zhou Jingwan chatted in bed: "I haven't been to Xingzhou City for a long time. If you are not busy tomorrow, please accompany me to go shopping. It's just right for me to check out some of my shops."
Zhou Jingwan agreed immediately: "Okay, my mother has been keeping me by her side to take care of my brother's wedding, and I haven't been shopping for a long time."
The next morning, after having dinner in Mrs. Zhou's courtyard, Zhou Jingwan took Daohua to the street.
Daohua first went to check out the business conditions of several shops, and then walked aimlessly on the street with Zhou Jingwan.
"Xingzhou City seems to be much more lively than before?"
Zhou Jingwan smiled and said, "This is all thanks to Uncle Yan. If he hadn't promoted high-yield grain varieties in Xingzhou and encouraged everyone to grow watermelons and grapes, the people wouldn't be as prosperous as they are now."
After hearing this, Daohua was very happy. When she saw someone selling candy figures on the street, she immediately pulled Zhou Jingwan over.
After waiting for a while, Daohua got a pig in her hand and Zhou Jingwan got a butterfly.
The two of them ate candy figures as they walked.
Suddenly, Zhou Jingwan stopped and pointed ahead, saying in surprise, "Yiyi, look, isn't that Brother Yan in front?"
Daohua looked in the direction she pointed and nodded: "It's my eldest brother." As she said that, she wanted to go over and say hello.
However, at this moment, a girl wearing a veil got off the carriage next to Yan Wenxiu.
Daohua was stunned when she saw her elder brother and the girl walking into the restaurant together.
Zhou Jingwan nudged Daohua with her elbow and asked curiously, "Who is that girl? Do you know her?"
Daohua came back to her senses and shook her head: "I don't know him."
Zhou Jingwan was silent for a while: "Should we go into the restaurant and take a look?"
Daohua was also curious about the identity of the girl just now, so she nodded and said, "Okay." But she stopped after taking a few steps.
Zhou Jingwan looked at her: "Why don't you leave?"
Dao Huahuan looked around and pointed at the noodle stall opposite the restaurant and said, "Let's sit there and wait."
Her eldest brother was a person who attached great importance to etiquette, and now that he had asked a girl out alone, she couldn't help but think too much.
Afterwards, Zhou Jingwan and Daohua sat at the noodle stall. They each ordered a bowl of noodles, but didn't eat much. They were just staring at the restaurant across the street.
About a quarter of an hour later, Yan Wenxiu and the girl came out of the restaurant.
Although she was wearing a veil, Daohua and Zhou Jingwan could both see that the girl seemed to be trying to hold back her tears, and Yan Wenxiu also had a look of self-blame and guilt on his face.
Yan Wenxiu stood there staring until the carriage had gone far away.
Seeing this scene, Daohua and Zhou Jingwan looked at each other in confusion.
"What's going on?" Zhou Jingwan was speechless.
Daohua was silent for a moment, then called Wang Maner over and said, "Go and see whose girl that is."
After encountering such an incident, Daohua was no longer in the mood to continue shopping. After Yan Wenxiu left, she and Zhou Jingwan returned to the Zhou Mansion.
