There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 1155

[Chapter 1154, Redemption 5]

year of redemption and the beginning of the year are the peak times for gatherings of various families. When other girls in the Zhang family are busy attending various gatherings, Zhang Huahan practices various etiquette rules in Wutongyuan.

After the first month passed, the members of the Zhang family slowly relaxed.

“I heard that the new chief envoy has arrived with his family. Considering the relationship between our two families, shouldn’t we take the initiative to pay a visit?”

Mrs. Zhang asked the old lady tentatively in Mrs. Zhang’s room.

Hearing this, the others also pricked up their ears.

The old lady Zhang was silent and did not speak.

Doesn’t she want to have contact with the Yan family?

She thought, even in her dreams, but how could the Yan family take care of the Zhang family, unless that person from Wutong Court came forward.

Mrs. Zhang San smiled and said: “Mother, my sister-in-law seldom goes out of the house, maybe she doesn’t know what’s going on outside, why don’t we talk to her?”

Mrs. Zhang still didn’t speak.

Others don’t know, but she knows that the person from Wutongyuan has hardly been out of the Zhang family, but he is not ignorant of the outside world. . .

Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that the companions brought by that person are all somewhat capable, helping him to set up a lot of shops and Zhuangzi in Qingshi County.

It is impossible for her not to know about Yan Buzheng.

The old lady Zhang sighed in her heart, although Yan Yile is the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, but after this person married into the Zhang family, as a mother-in-law, she never even drank a bowl of tea, let alone like controlling other daughter-in-laws Set the rules for her.

Not only did he not need to report to her what he wanted to do, but she didn’t even dare to ask more questions.

Every time she thought of this, she felt extremely depressed.

Being a mother-in-law is probably the first job for her.

Miss Zhang saw that the old lady Zhang’s face was not right, she immediately smiled and said: “The fifth younger sister has been learning the rules in Wutong Academy these days. When she comes later, we can let her say no?”

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao Then, at this moment, a servant girl’s announcement sounded outside the door: “The fifth girl is here!”

Immediately afterwards, the door curtain was raised, and Zhang Huahan walked in at a leisurely pace, accompanied by Yan Yile’s close-knit big brother. Maid An Ran.

Looking at Zhang Huahan, the people in the room, from the old lady Zhang to the girls from the Zhang family, all looked surprised.

Without him, Zhang Huahan has changed too much.

“Grandmother Wan’an.”

” Second Aunt.” “Third

Aunt.”

Zhang Huahan stepped forward to salute Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang.

The voice is neither high nor low, and the smile on the face is just right, full of happiness, decent and generous, but also indescribably pleasing to the eye.

Mrs. Zhang was the first to come back to her senses, and asked Zhang Huahan to sit down with a stiff smile.

Seeing her granddaughter whose words, deeds, and demeanor had changed drastically, Mrs. Zhang was greatly shocked, and deeply realized the difference between a merchant’s family and an official’s family.

The five girls went to Wutong Academy to learn the rules, and it was only more than a month before and after. In such a short time, they were distinguished from the other girls in the family.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhang Huahan, who was dignified and decent, and then at the other granddaughters. It was good that there was no comparison. When she compared them, she suddenly felt that the other granddaughters did not sit well, stood up well, and were coy and petty.

Not only Mrs. Zhang noticed the gap, but also other people in the room, and the girls felt the most.

In the past, Zhang Huahan was the same as them, but now Zhang Huahan is like a lady from a noble family, and they are compared to them at once.

Miss Zhang felt a little low self-esteem.

Miss Zhang Er, who had justified herself before and wanted to assign Zhang Huahan to do things, stopped talking at this moment, and pursed her lips in silence.

An Ran had a panoramic view of the expressions of everyone in the Zhang family, saw that no one spoke, and no one noticed her, so she could only stand out with a smile: “Your maidservant greets the old lady, and the second and third wives.”

At this time, The old lady Zhang noticed An Ran, and immediately sat up straight. She might feel that she was overreacting, and her expression was a little indifferent. She paused for a moment before she said, “The eldest daughter-in-law sent you here, is there something wrong?”

An Ran said with a smile: “Indeed A few days ago, the eldest lady asked about the affairs in Miss Wu’s yard, and found that the

servants who served her were not very considerate, so she wanted to change some, and wanted to add a few more.” Mrs. fluctuation.

Another replacement, another addition, is this a trivial matter?

The old lady Zhang showed no fluctuations on her face, and said with a smile: “I was negligent about the matter in Wuyatou’s yard. The eldest daughter-in-law is the head of the Zhang family. Already .”

An Ran smiled and blessed Fushen: “Thank you, old lady, for your understanding. What my wife means is that the fifth girl will be ready next year, and this time the replacement will be in place at once.”

Old lady Zhang thought for a while and said: ” Do you want to buy new ones from outside, or do you just want to choose from the mansion? How many people do you want in total?”

An Ran: “If possible, it is best to buy new ones from outside.” Seeing Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang’s faces Unhappy, I thought about it and explained, “This is mainly for the convenience of training.”

“As for the number of people, let’s choose sixteen for the time being. When my wife is at home, there are four first-class maids and four second-class maids around me .” One, how many third-class maids and rough envoys, only this kind of preparation will be convenient for the fifth girl.”

As soon as the words came out, everyone in the room looked over, including Zhang Huahan.

This time An Ran came to ask for someone, Zhang Huahan knew about it in advance, but she never expected that Aunt An Ran would ask for so much.

The old lady Zhang pondered for a while, then she agreed with a smile, and turned to look at the second wife Zhang: “You can find the matchmaker in person tomorrow, and you must let the fifth girl choose the one you like.”

Mrs. Zhang nodded quickly in response.

Afterwards, Zhang Huahan chatted with Mrs. Zhang and others for a while, then got up and went back to Wutong Courtyard to continue learning the rules.

As soon as she left, the Zhang family girls couldn’t help but start talking.

“Does Fifth Sister need so many people to serve her?”

“That’s right, how much money does it cost a month to support so many people?”

Mrs. Zhang was silent for a moment, then looked at Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang: ” Call a few more toothmaids over tomorrow, and how the maids around the fifth girl will prepare it, and the older girls will follow suit.”

Their family background is not enough, so follow suit.

Yan Yile would never harm her own daughter. She chose so many people at once, presumably because she considered the fifth girl’s marriage in the future.

The girls were overjoyed when they heard this.

Who would think that there are too many people under his command?

The next day, Mrs. Zhang Er and Mrs. Zhang Third quickly found several good-quality matchmakers, and followed An Ran actively and enthusiastically throughout the whole process.

The two thought the same as Mrs. Zhang, if they don’t know how to do it, then follow suit.

An Ran didn’t care about these, and took Zhang Huahan with her the whole time, first explaining to her one by one the doorways that she might encounter when choosing a servant, and then let her choose by herself.

In the beginning, Zhang Huahan was the only one who was choosing, but later, Miss Zhang and the girls also came.

For Zhang Huahan’s sake, An Ran would also mention a few words, which benefited a lot of people and selected several good maids.

After choosing the maid, An Ran was officially assigned to Zhang Huahan by Yan Yile, and she would help Zhang Huahan manage the yard.

As soon as the news came out, not only the rest of the Zhang family, but also Zhang Huahan was surprised for a long time.

Zhang Huahan looked at An Ran suspiciously: “Aunt An Ran, why did mother let you come to my place?”

An Ran smiled and poured a cup of tea for Zhang Huahan: “Two days ago, Xinrong’s family sent a letter in, and it was from the provincial government.”

Zhang Huahan knew that Xinrong’s family was his mother’s companion.

Seeing that Zhang Huahan was still puzzled, An Ran knew that she didn’t know anything, thought for a while and said, “It’s the uncle of the girl’s direct relative who came to work in the provincial government.”

Zhang Huahan was stunned: “Uncle?

” Looking at her face, she mentioned her grandparents’ home.

An Ran nodded: “My uncle came to Huai’an to take up the post of chief executive, and he and master are brothers and sisters of the same mother.”

Zhang Huahan looked a little dazed, she knew that the chief minister was a second-rank official even though she was ignorant , the highest official of a province.

Uncle is such a powerful person!

At this moment, she instantly understood the reason why her father and elder sister’s attitude towards her had changed during this period of time.

When the uncle came, even if the mother didn’t want to contact him, it would be a deterrent to the father and the Zhang family.

At the same time, I also understand that my mother can ignore the source of confidence of everyone in the Zhang family.

A second-rank official, even the richest man in the provincial capital, would not dare to make a fool of himself in front of him, let alone the Zhang family, which is only the richest man in Qingshi County.

An Ran continued: “The girl also has a second aunt who is a direct relative, but the girl’s second uncle has now been transferred back to the capital as an official. If you want to see her, you have to go to the capital to meet her.”

“As for the girl’s grandfather and grandmother, there is no She didn’t take office with my uncle, but stayed in my hometown.”

“The letter is from the girl’s aunt, and July is my uncle’s birthday, saying that she wants to meet the master and you, the girl.”

Speaking of this, An Ran sighed : “Back then, the master and his family had some troubles, so he didn’t really want to go to the provincial capital. But the master thinks that the girl should go see her uncle and aunt.”

Hearing this, Zhang Huahan moved his lips, intending to ask his mother What happened to the Yan family’s unhappiness, so that after the mother married into the Zhang family, she never had any contact with her mother’s family.

But when the words came to his lips, Zhang Huahan dismissed the idea again.

She is not stupid, she thought about her mother’s attitude towards the Zhang family, her father, and her over the years, that unhappiness must be a huge scar in her mother’s heart, and she didn’t want anyone to mention it.

Although An Ran came by her side, Zhang Huahan could also learn etiquette and rules in her own yard, but she still went to Wutong Courtyard to practice etiquette and rules as usual after inviting Mrs. Zhang to An Ran.

In the upper room, Yan Yile sat in front of the window, looking at Zhang Huahan who was concentrating on studying in the yard, with a dazed expression.

She hated Zhang Wan so much that she transferred her hatred to Zhang Huahan.

However, this is her own daughter after all, and every time she ignores her, her heart throbs.

Looking at the small world of Wutong Courtyard, Yan Yile’s eyes were full of regrets. During these years in the Zhang family, she had tasted the evil fruits of her ignorance and willfulness.

Marrying into the Zhang family was certainly a trick of Zhang Wan, but if she hadn’t given him the opportunity, he would not have been able to get close to her even if he had the ability.

In the final analysis, it was her who was wrong!

Yan Yile closed her eyes in pain. She tried not to think about these things these years, but she just couldn’t let it go.

“Girl, let’s rest for a while.”

“No need for Aunt An Ran, I can persevere.”

The conversation in the yard interrupted Yan Yile’s heart full of sadness, and she opened her eyes again to look over.

Looking at the stubborn girl in the courtyard, Yan Yile’s eyes flickered, as if she saw herself when she was young.

Once upon a time, she was like this.

At this moment, the servant girl came in with a food box.

Watching the servant girl arrange the food, Yan Yile glanced at Zhang Huahan in the yard, struggling a little, and finally said: “Let Fifth Miss come and eat with me.”

The servant girl was stunned for a moment, and then happily ran to invite Zhang Huahan.

A while later, Zhang Huahan entered the room nervously and excitedly, and when he saw Yan Yile at the dinner table, his eyes were slightly red.

After growing up so big, she can finally eat at the same table as her mother.

“Sit down!”

Yan Yile didn’t know how to get along with Zhang Huahan, and looked awkward.

Zhang Huahan walked carefully to the table and sat down opposite Yan Yile.

After that, the mother and daughter didn’t speak, and each ate the food in front of them.

An Ran and the others who were waiting on the side felt a little sad seeing the mother and daughter being so strange and reserved.

After dinner, Yan Yile drank tea silently.

Seeing that she didn’t tell him to leave, Zhang Huahan bit the bullet and stayed, and followed Yan Yile’s example, sipping tea in small sips.

“Anran will follow you from now on. If you don’t understand anything, just ask her more.”

Zhang Huahan was startled by Yan Yile’s sudden utterance, and almost choked. Fortunately, the etiquette was not in vain during this time. No gaffe.

“It’s mother, daughter knows.”

Looking at Zhang Huahan who respectfully dared not look at her, Yan Yile was silent, and then said: “Did An Ran tell you about your aunt’s letter?”

Zhang Huahan nodded: ” I said it.”

Yan Yile said ‘hmm’: “Let An Ran stay by your side, one is to continue to teach you etiquette and rules, and the words and deeds of a lady from a wealthy family have been cultivated since childhood.”

“During this time Although you have learned well, there is still a big gap between you and a real lady, and if you want to make up for these gaps, you have to have someone by your side to make corrections.”

“Secondly, it is to help you Teach the servants in the yard.”

“Girl’s family, whether you are in your mother’s family or married into your husband’s family, you must have your own confidantes, or if something happens, there will be no one to run errands for you.”

“For the people in your own yard, you have to be more considerate, sincerity is the first, and then ability, like those useless, will only cause trouble for the master, if you find one, don’t have the heart, you have to be kind to them , then you have to bear the mistakes they made.”

Zhang Huahan listened seriously: “Daughter remembers mother’s teachings.”

Yan Yile was silent for a while: “Yan’s family is tall, and the people who come and go are all dignitaries, not only you Even the maids around you have to be decent and generous.”

“During this period of time, learn more from An Ran, and when you go to your uncle’s house, you will be more confident, and you won’t be shy in front of others.”
