There is Room For the Poor Daughter

The seat was set in the main courtyard, and Daohua was behind for a while. When she came over, everyone had already sat down. Just as she was looking at where she was sitting, Zhou Jingwan, who was next to the chairman, stood up and waved to her: "Yiyi, this is side!"

Daohua walked over with a smile, sat down next to Zhou Jingwan and Dong Yuanyao, and then nodded to Su Shiyu next to Zhou Jingwan, as well as the ladies in other positions, as a greeting.

Su Shiyu asked with a smile, "Why did you come here?"

Daohua looked at the door of the courtyard, and just saw Chen Jiarou helping old lady Chen over, she turned her head and smiled lightly: "I was tripped on the road for a while."

Dong Yuanyao, Zhou Jingwan, and Su Shiyu followed Daohua's line of sight and looked over there.

Zhou Jingwan said in a low voice, "I just don't understand, how did the Chen family get a foothold in the capital by acting like Mrs. Chen?"

Dong Yuanyao said with a smile: "I heard my grandmother say this, the Chen family's social circle in Beijing is not as wide as we imagined. In Beijing, the Chen family is hosted by the old lady Chen. After all, the old lady is the emperor's. Nanny, everyone is willing to give her two points of thin noodles, so the Chen family is still at peace."

Daohua said lightly: "Then old lady Chen is not very good, she likes to lecture her when she opens her mouth."

Zhou Jingwan curled her lips: "I'm afraid I've been touted a lot, and some of them don't know who they are." Nanny, to put it bluntly, is just a slave.

Su Shiyu chuckled: "In the capital, there are many powerful people, and the Chen family is afraid that they know how to restrain themselves, but this place, relying on the emperor's back, is estimated to be floating."

Daohua smiled and looked at Su Shiyu: "Sister Su, this is a good explanation."

Dong Yuanyao: "Okay, don't talk about these unhappy things, the dishes are all ready, let's eat." Knowing that Daohua's right hand is inconvenient, she personally served a bowl of Yuanzi soup for her.

When Zhou Jingwan saw Daohua eating with her left hand, she immediately asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Su Shiyu also looked over.

Daohua whispered: "The right hand was scratched."

Zhou Jingwan and Su Shiyu's expressions moved slightly, it's not as simple as being scratched, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to hold chopsticks. It seems that the last accident made Sister Yan (Dao Hua) suffer a lot outside.

Also, Aunt Li has always been kind. Today, as the host, she stabbed the Chen family in front of so many people. I'm afraid it's because she is angry and anxious.

After lunch, Daohua went to the pavilion to rest.

Su Shiyu: "By the way, it's hard to ask at the dinner table just now. When did you come back yesterday, we don't even know?"

Dong Yuanyao: "It was already dark when we came back, so I didn't bother you because I thought you had rested."

Zhou Jingwan interjected: "Then why didn't you come to us this morning? You have to wait until noon before showing up?"

Dong Yuanyao glanced at Daohua, Daohua smiled and said, "Isn't this to make our appearance more shocking."

"Um?"

Zhou Jingwan looked confused, Su Shiyu understood after a little thought, smiled and looked at Daohua and Dong Yuanyao: "You two~, you are really cunning."

It's not easy to explain things like gossip by yourself, but if someone outsiders mentions it, and then fights back fiercely in public, it's not a good way.

Yiyi chose a good timing today. It not only exposed Mrs. Xu's ugly face for spreading rumors, but also made Mrs. Xu speechless in public, deterring other gossipers.

Daohua smiled bitterly and said, "We don't want this either. Who makes so many good people in this world."

Dong Yuanyao frowned: "By the way, what happened to Mrs. Xu? Isn't Xu Tongzhi a subordinate of Uncle Yan?"

Daohua sighed: "Because of the relocation of the refugees to Shaxian, my father strictly controlled the settlement of Shaxian and the sale of land, which violated the interests of some local families, and Mrs. Xu's family was one of them. No, Madam Xu jumped out and asked for trouble."

Zhou Jingwan snorted coldly, "It's really stupid to openly confront your boss, and to be unreasonable."

Su Shiyu smiled and said, "If Mr. Xu knows about this, then his vision and pattern are probably not very good; if he doesn't know, after returning today, Mrs. Xu will not have a good life."

Zhou Jingwan laughed suddenly: "Then Mrs. Xu is also a strong man from outside, and Daohua forced her to be unable to resist with a few words, like a clown jumping on a beam."

Daohua squinted at him immediately: "How can I force Mrs. Xu? Obviously I persuaded her with reason."

This time, Su Shiyu and Dong Yuanyao also laughed.

Zhou Jingwan laughed directly: "Yes, yes, you are the most reasonable."

At this time, Yan Yihuan brought several girls including Li Zixuan, Li Zixin, and Yang Xiuyun over.

"Cousin Zixuan, cousin Zixin!" Daohua immediately greeted her with a smile.

After that, the girls sat in the pavilion drinking tea and chatting.

In the middle of the afternoon, Daohua stood up, took the ladies to the old lady's yard, and pushed out the Eight Immortals birthday cake made early in the morning.

"This is the dessert I made, please try it, ladies and gentlemen."

The cake was cut into small pieces and sent to the ladies and girls of each family. The cake was made into three layers, and some were also distributed in the front yard.

Yan Siyu looked at the cake with the birthday peach carved in her hand, and glanced at the rice flower who was laughing at Yanyan among the ladies. The old lady Yan smiled and said, "This girl's hand is really clever."

Mrs. Yan nodded straight with a smile: "Although that girl has a more lively temperament, she is famous for her cooking skills, and she can do everything. Otherwise, your sister-in-law and I can't treat her like that."

Seeing her mother's undisguised pampering, Yan Siyu looked at her daughter. Although her mother also loved Xiuyun, she still had to lean back in front of Yiyi, her granddaughter.

When the cake was distributed, Daohua saw that Mrs. Li was not there and knew that she was busy in the main courtyard, so she brought a piece of cake to her, and did not return to Songheyuan until Mrs. Li ate the cake and went to work again.

Who knows, I met my cousin Yang Hongrui on the way.

"Cousin Yiyi."

Seeing Yang Hongrui, Daohua was a little surprised. She was blessed and asked with a smile, "Cousin Hongrui, why are you in the backyard at this time?"

Yang Hongrui looked a little uncomfortable: "I have something to do with my mother."

Daohua said with an 'oh', "Do you need me to call your aunt? There are many female dependents on my grandmother's side, so it may be inconvenient for you to go there."

Yang Hongrui shook his head again and again: "No need, it's actually not a big deal, don't be in a hurry."

Daohua: "If that's the case, then I'll go to my grandmother's place first." Then, she turned around and left.

Yang Hongrui hurriedly stopped people: "Wait a minute."

Daohua turned around and said, "Cousin Hongrui, is there anything else?"

Yang Hongrui hesitated for a moment: "Well, are you alright?" Although both uncles and aunts said that cousin Yiyi went to Zhuangzi, he knew not because he happened to be standing next to cousin Wenxiu that day and heard the reply from the servant.

Daohua raised her eyebrows: "I'm fine, what can I do?"

Yang Hongrui looked at Daohua, saw that she was in good spirits, and smiled: "You're fine." After saying that, seeing that Daohua was empty-handed, he handed over the stove in his hand.

Daohua took a few steps back: "Cousin Hongrui, who are you?"

Yang Hongrui hurriedly said: "Cousin, don't get me wrong, I don't bring a hand stove because I see you in the winter. I want to give this to you."

Daohua twitched the corners of her mouth: "Thank you, cousin, but I don't need it. Cousin should keep it for himself. If he doesn't use it, he can give it to cousin Xiuyun, hand stove. I have a lot in my room, enough. Use. It's time for grandma to find me, I have to go, excuse me."

After speaking, without waiting for Yang Hongrui's reaction, he hurried away.

Looking at the back of Daohua leaving in a hurry, Yang Hongrui was slightly disappointed, and silently turned around and walked towards the front yard.

On the other hand, Wang Man'er thought of Yang Hongrui's actions just now, looked at Daohua's expression, and muttered, "Could it be that Young Master Biao is waiting for you there specifically?"

Daohua frowned: "Don't talk nonsense." After a moment of silence, she said, "Don't tell me what happened just now, just pretend it didn't happen. Also, in the future, when there is cousin Hongrui, remember to remind me to avoid it. Some."

She doesn't want to recruit some rotten peach blossoms.

Wang Man'er smiled and nodded.

Except for the little prince, she has never seen any man's things that the girl has received in private.
