Chapter 21: , A good wife
Chapter 21, There is a Good Wife in the Family
Time slipped away in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, Daohua had been in Linyi County for more than a month.
In the past month, she probably also found out the situation in the backyard of the county government, and also had some understanding of the situation of the people of the Yan family.
The elders are quite tolerant to her. As for the juniors, except for occasionally saying a few acidic words, nothing else.
In general, she had a good time here.
One afternoon, the three sisters Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang, and Yan Yile finished the course of the day and walked to the Songhe Courtyard of the old lady.
Yan Yile curled her lips and said with envious expression: "Big sister and third brother and fourth brother have gone out to play again."
Yan Yihuan smiled and said: "Big sister has just come to the county seat and is not familiar with this place. It is good to go out and see more."
Yan Yile retorted, “It’s been more than a month, the county is so big, it’s time to be familiar with it. I think it’s the big aunt who indulges her eldest sister, what she wants to do, the big aunt is used to it.”
Yan Yile first glanced at Yan Yishuang next to him, and then glared at Yan Yihuan: "Shut up, the elders can't allow our juniors to be beaked."
Yan Yile was a little dissatisfied, but did not continue, but smiled and looked at Yan Yishuang: "Three sisters, do you want to go out and play like your big sister?"
Yan Yi pursed her mouth, but did not speak.
Do you want to?
Of course I thought.
But, my mother took her very seriously and rarely let her go out.
Yan Yile immediately leaned over: "Three sisters, uncle spoils you so much, go and talk to him, let us also go out with the big sister."
Yan Yishuang was a little moved, but still shook her head: "My aunt will not agree."
Yan Yile's face collapsed: "Auntie Lin is too strict with you."
Yan Yishuang did not allow others to say that Aunt Lin’s was wrong, and immediately said, "Auntie is for my good."
Niang said, only if she is better than the big sister, the father will like her more.
Yan Yihuan hurriedly stopped the two who were about to quarrel again: "Okay, let's go in and please grandmother please."
Please follow this rule. It was only erected after Mrs. Yan arrived.
Once in the morning and once in the evening.
The old lady Yan did not object, she was also happy in her heart as she watched her children and grandchildren Chenghuan kneel.
Yan Yihuan and the three of them entered the old lady Yan’s house, and they saw Daohua dressed up as a boy, holding something, explaining to the old lady Yan with a smile on his face. Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai stood on both sides, interjecting words from time to time. .
Seeing this, the three of them are a little envious.
One is for Daohua to go out, and the other is for Mrs. Yan’s preference for Daohua.
Although the old lady is kind to them, she can't compare with Daohua.
Invited Ann to the old lady, Yan Yile smiled and looked at Daohua: "Big sister, when will you go to class with us?"
Ms. Li hired a female master for the girls of the Yan family, who was responsible for teaching the girls to read and write, and embroider the female red.
Hearing this, Daohua had a meal.
The old lady Yan thought about it seriously, and then said: "It's time to go to class."
The others in the room thought that Daohua would be unwilling, but she didn't say anything.
Daohua glanced at Yan Yile, who was a little disappointed, with a funny heart.
Emotions are in their hearts, is she an unlearned and skillless?
"Grandma, don't worry, I will have a good class."
She knew very well that if she wanted to live a good life in ancient times, she had to adapt to the rules here.
There were a lot of demands on women in ancient times, so it doesn’t hurt to learn more.
The next morning, Daohua had breakfast in the old lady Yan’s courtyard, and was called by Mrs. Li when she returned to the main courtyard.
"I heard the old lady say you want to go to school?" Madam Li smiled and pulled Daohua to sit down beside her.
Inahana nodded: "My younger sisters are all in class, so naturally I can't fall behind as a elder sister."
Ms. Li smiled softly: "Even if the old lady doesn't mention it, I have to arrange it for you. It is better for this woman to read more books, whether it is the housekeeper or the husband and wife, it can be used."
"By the way, the female celebrities have to learn too. In the future, if you look at others, if the female celebrities are excellent, you will give them a good impression."
Hearing this, Daohua had a black line on her head: "Mother, my daughter is only 9 years old, is it too early to say this?"
Mrs. Li nodded Daohua’s forehead: "Early or early, some people have decided on someone as soon as they are born."
Daohua slapped her body and said, "Fortunately, I don't have one."
Mrs. Li smiled helplessly.
At this time, the maid Pingxiao next to Mrs. Li walked in with a few account books: "Madam, the accounts for this month have been completed, please check it out."
Mrs. Li looked at Daohua: "Mother is going to be busy, you can go to play elsewhere."
Daohua didn't mean to go, but looked at the account books: "Mother, can I have a look?"
Ms. Li smiled: "Let's Daohua now want to learn the stewardship?"
Daohua smiled: "Let’s take a look first."
Ms. Li didn’t make a decision either, she just said, “Don’t break it.”
Daohua: "Mother, I know." As she said, she picked up an account book and looked through it.
Mrs. Li smiled and shook her head, and began to calculate the family's income and expenditure this month.
A quarter of an hour later
Two quarters later.
After half an hour, Mrs. Li looked at Daohua in surprise.
She originally thought that her daughter was just a child, and she would definitely not be able to sit still in front of the dense accounts. However, she did not expect that after reading one book, she immediately read the other, in a posture that she had to finish reading the account books, and she still read it. Especially careful.
The old lady mentioned in her previous letter that Daohua helped her with the accounting and keeping the accounts in her hometown, and she did a good job. She thought that the old lady was exaggerating before, but now, looking at it, she really knows how to do it. .
Ping Xiao, who was waiting on the side, was also secretly surprised.
During this period of time, I saw the eldest girl running wildly around with the third and fourth masters. She thought she was a lively and impatient person, but she did not expect to have such a calm and demure side.
Here, Daohua, who was immersed in the accounts, naturally did not know what they thought. The reason why she had to look through the account books was to understand the income and expenditure of the Yan family.
After ?? came here, she found that her family was not very rich.
There are not many people who come to the house, like her, like the new Sanfang, until now, they have not arranged for them to run errands.
Second, it’s not very good to eat and wear. Whether it’s Yan Zhigao or Mrs. Li's clothes, they are both new and not old, so the older brother Yan Wenxiu, who studies in the county, wears a little better.
From these points of view, her father is still incorruptible.
After reading the account books, Daohuaxin said, no wonder my grandmother always said that the Yan family has a poor foundation.
This is really thin.
Only Yan Zhigao has a salary in the whole family, but he has to feed one family. The others have no income, but they have a lot of expenses.
"Mother, thanks to Daddy for marrying you."
Daohua sighed.
If it weren’t for Mrs. Li’s dowry, she would have a rich dowry, with a chuangzi and shop in her dowry, and she could still make some money every day. Otherwise, the family wouldn’t work.
Mrs. Li glared at Daohua: "What are you talking about, it is a blessing for your mother to be able to marry your father."
Seeing that Mrs. Li's eyebrows and eyes were smiling, Daohua sneered over her mouth. She could see that her mother really liked her father.
Daohua smiled and said, "Father is also blessed. If there weren't mothers to help Dad take care of the house, Dad would not be able to work outside with peace of mind."
Mrs. Li smiled, and did not say Daohua this time: "Your father has worked so hard as an official, so naturally I have to share more for him."
Daohua: "Mother, you are so kind."
She is a really good mother, a typical good wife and mother, apart from taking care of her family in every possible way, she has never had trouble with her favored concubine, and she has carried out her family and everything to the extreme.
