There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 1158

[Chapter 1157, Redemption 8]

After boarding the Su family’s boat, Zhang Huahan was careful in everything, always paying attention, for fear of showing timidity in front of the Su family and dishonoring the Yan family’s reputation, and at the same time, he did not want outsiders to look down on the Zhang family too much.

Mrs. Su and the two girls from the Su family were reminded in advance, and they warmly received Zhang Huahan and Miss Zhang, while Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhang accompanied Mr. Su and Mr. Su to drink tea on the deck.

As for why Yan Yile didn’t come, the Su family didn’t mention it sensibly, nor did they mention the Zhang family’s affairs, they just chatted about the scenery and anecdotes along the way.

The Su family intended to accommodate, and the Zhang family tried their best to cater to it. In this way, the two families got along well.

A day later, the provincial capital dock arrived.

Grandpa Zhang couldn’t go to Yan’s mansion, so after getting off the boat, he found an excuse and left.

Regarding this, the Su family didn’t ask too much. They came to the provincial capital this time to celebrate the birthday of Yan’s mansion, so they entered the city together with the three brothers and sisters of the Zhang family.

In the carriage, thinking about the uncle’s family that he was about to meet, Zhang Huahan couldn’t stop his heart beating faster. . .

Although she is a direct uncle, she has never seen him since birth, and her understanding of her uncle’s family is limited to what An Ran told her. She wonders if they will welcome her?

Coupled with the fact that her mother had cut off contact with the Yan family, she became even more anxious.

Zhang Huahan managed to maintain a calm face, but Miss Zhang couldn’t hide her nervousness.

After getting in touch with the girl from the magistrate’s family, Miss Zhang was overwhelmed by inferiority complex. Whether it was her dress, her speech, her manners, or her vision, everything was enough to crush her to the ground.

At this moment, listening to the noise in the city, she had the idea for the first time that maybe she shouldn’t follow Zhang Huahan to the provincial capital.

Walking beside Zhang Huahan, she felt that she was not even as good as a maid.

As Zhang’s eldest daughter, she has received more than anyone since she was a child. Even though her stepmother has a strong family background, she has to give in to her fifth sister on the surface, but her father and grandmother will subsidize her in private.

Therefore, she always thought that she was the most honorable girl in the Zhang family.

But at this moment, this pride was destroyed to pieces, and the huge gap made her almost run away.

Thinking of her grandmother’s earnest instructions when she left home; her father’s look of anticipation when she left;

If you lose face, you can lose face. As long as she survives this time and has seen the big scene, she will marry into her in-law’s family in the future, and when facing her in-law’s social circle, she will be able to take it easy.

While the two sisters were thinking about each other, Yan’s residence arrived.

Although Yan Wenjie’s birthday would be two days away, many guests had already arrived at the door, and Zhu Qiyun had to receive other people, so she couldn’t escape, so she sent the nurse in charge of Yan Fang’s family to welcome the Su family.

The members of Yan Fang’s family didn’t notice Zhang’s brothers and sisters at first, they only thought they were the sons and daughters of the Su family, so they only saluted and greeted Mrs. Su.

It was the first time for the three of Zhang Huahan to face such a situation, and they didn’t know how to introduce themselves, so they could only stand awkwardly beside the Su family.

Finally, seeing that the Yan Fang family was about to lead the Su family in, An Ran had no choice but to stand up: “Sister Fang!”

Yan Fang’s family paused and looked at An Ran suspiciously. After a while, their eyes widened in surprise. Looking at An Ran anxiously: “Are you An Ran next to Miss Four

?

” How is everything going, girl these years?”

An Ran’s smile faltered slightly, and she nodded with a smile: “Okay, everything is fine.” She said, looking at Zhang Huahan, “This is Miss Four’s daughter.”

The eyes of Yan Fang’s family moved to Zhang Huahan in an instant, looking at Zhang Huahan whose eyes and brows were very similar to Yan Yile, his eyes were red with excitement: “Cousin girl, you are here, Mrs. Madam has been talking about it all this time. What about you.”

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly bowed his knees to salute Zhang Huahan, “This old slave greets my cousin.”

Zhang Huahan was a little flustered, but his face was calm, and he quickly helped him up: “Nurse, please get up.”

Yan The Fang family looked at Zhang Huahan excitedly, and quickly pulled the maid beside him: “Quickly, go and tell Madam that Cousin is here.”

After giving the order, they immediately welcomed Zhang Huahan and the Su family into the mansion with a smile.

Before the group reached the Chuihua Gate, Zhu Qiyun rushed over with her maid.

Along the way, the guests and servants all watched curiously, who knows what kind of honorable guest it is to be greeted by the mother of the head of the house?

“You are Huahan?”

Zhu Qiyun stared at Zhang Huahan as soon as she arrived.

Zhang Huahan hurriedly bowed his knees and saluted: “Huahan has seen my aunt.”

“Get up!”

Zhu Qiyun helped Zhang Huahan up, and held her hand tightly: “Quick, let my aunt take a good look.” As she spoke, she looked at her carefully Looking at Zhang Huahan, he was both surprised and happy and said, “Like, this eyebrow and these eyes are like your mother.”

Zhang Huahan’s eyes drooped slightly, his expression was a little shy, and he let Zhu Qiyun look at her.

Zhu Qiyun pulled Zhang Huahan to look it up for a while, and when she had seen enough, she looked apologetically at Madam Su next to her, “I made Madam laugh.” Madam

Su said empathetically, “Madam, don’t say that, I understand, long time no see Niece, don’t make a good kiss.”

Zhu Qiyun smiled and nodded, holding Zhang Huahan’s hand and said, “Don’t stand here, come with me to the main courtyard for tea.” Saying, pulling Zhang Huahan walked ahead.

Feeling the closeness of his aunt to him, Zhang Huahan’s tense mood finally relaxed a little.

main courtyard.

All the wives and ladies watched Zhu Qiyun affectionately pulling a girl in, and they all looked at her curiously. After Zhu Qiyun introduced her, they realized that this was actually the niece of envoy Yan Buzheng’s direct relationship, and they immediately paid more attention to her.

Zhu Qiyun smiled and introduced Zhang Huahan’s wives and ladies present. Seeing that Zhang Huahan advanced and retreated well, and behaved gracefully, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Before that, she was afraid that the fourth sister’s daughter would also inherit her temperament.

Sisters from the Yan family were the worst-married of the fourth younger sister. After marrying into the Zhang family, they immediately cut off contact with the family, which often aroused worries from parents-in-law and mother-in-law.

The transfer to Huai’an this time was also deliberately won by the husband. Firstly, it was for the heart of An’s in-laws, and secondly, he wanted to help the younger sister.

People in the world sympathize with the weak, brothers and sisters are living a better life now, every time I think of Yi Le, I can’t help but make people sigh.

Zhu Qiyun looked at Zhang Huahan beside her. Yile didn’t come. This was what she expected. With her temper, she probably wouldn’t have the face to see her natal family.

As long as this niece knows how to measure and know how to advance and retreat, she is also willing to find a good future for her.

Before Zhu Qiyun had finished introducing the people in the room, a servant girl came in to announce: “Madam, the master came back from the front yard and said he wanted to meet his cousin.” Hearing this, the facial expressions of the

present wife moved slightly.

The chief envoy left the guests behind and hurried back to the backyard, which showed how much he valued this niece.

The eyes of the ladies drooped slightly, and the importance they attached to Zhang Huahan in their hearts was raised to another level.

Zhu Qiyun didn’t want to leave the guests behind, so she recruited the eldest daughter-in-law and asked her to accompany Zhang Huahan to see Yan Wenjie.

Zhang Huahan met Yan Wenjie with trepidation, perhaps because of blood relationship, the first time she saw Yan Wenjie, she felt a little sore.

Yan Wenjie looked at Zhang Huahan with pity, and asked about her and Yan Yile’s life in the Zhang family.

Family ugliness are not easy to publicize, and Zhang Huahan didn’t want to see his uncle for the first time, so he complained to him to gain sympathy, and only vaguely said that everything was fine.

Yan Wenjie saw that his nephew looked reserved, so he didn’t continue to make things difficult for her, but said: “When you arrive at your uncle’s house, it is no different from your own house. Tell your aunt what you want to eat and what you lack. Don’t be shy, you know?”

Zhang Huahan He nodded obediently.

After Yan Wenjie talked for a while, he asked the eldest daughter-in-law to take Zhang Huahan down to rest, and when she left, he called An Ran over.

An Ran didn’t think about hiding it, the master and the fifth girl needed the support of the second master, so she told in detail how Yan Yile had lived in the Zhang family these years.

After hearing this, Yan Wenjie’s expression was very complicated, and he didn’t speak for a long time.

Yile is the one who likes to liven up the most. She never thought that after marrying into the Zhang family, she would be stuck in a courtyard for more than ten years!

It wasn’t until An Ran mentioned that Yan Yile didn’t care about Zhang Huahan that Yan Wenjie lost his temper: “Why is Yile still like this? She only follows her own temperament and never cares about other people’s feelings. She is her own daughter!”

An Ran sobbed. “Second Lord, don’t blame the girl. The girl is also suffering. Zhang Wan used such dirty tricks on her. How can she be willing to give birth to him?

” When she leaves, she will cry silently. As a mother, who doesn’t love her own flesh and blood? The girl can’t let go of her hatred for Zhang Wan.”

Hearing this, Yan Wenjie’s anger turned into a sigh: “This It’s the cause she planted herself, and it’s hard for Hua Han to have such a pair of parents.”

An Ran hurriedly said: “The girl has changed now, the fifth girl went to pay her respects unshakably, and it also melted the girl’s heart. Before coming here, the relationship between their mother and daughter was already very harmonious, and the young lady even personally taught the fifth young lady to burn incense and arrange flowers.”

Yan Wenjie sighed, and asked about the situation of the Zhang family . He waved An Ran back.

After An Ran left, Yan Wenjie sat in the study for a while, then got up and went to the front yard to receive guests.

When it was dinner time, Yan Wenjie saw Zhang Huahan again, his eyes became more pity, and he showed his importance to her with practical actions, so that people dare not neglect her.

While sleeping, Yan Wenjie told Zhu Qiyun what he learned from An Ran.

After hearing this, Zhu Qiyun was also silent for a long time.

Yan Wenjie: “For Yile’s place, she has to put it down by herself, and we can’t help her, but Huahan’s side, you need some refreshments.”

“You know the situation of the Zhang family, count on them, Huahan What kind of husband’s family can Han find, you, as an aunt, have to choose a good one for Hua Han, don’t let this child suffer any more.”

Zhu Qiyun nodded, knowing what kind of life Zhang Huahan lived in Zhang’s house, she Also very sympathetic to this little girl whose father doesn’t love her mother: “Don’t worry, I will.”

“Yi Le agreed that Hua Han came to see us, probably because she wanted us to help Hua Han choose a good marriage, I just asked Anran, Huahan will be married in September.”

“That’s my plan, let Huahan stay at our house for a while, and her wedding ceremony will be held directly at our house, and I will invite more people to come. Once you come, Let Hua Han follow me to learn some rules and the skills of being a housekeeper, and secondly, to show how much we value Hua Han, which is also good for her to get married.”

Yan Wenjie nodded: “If you are thoughtful, just do what you want. Let’s do what you say.” Then, she looked at Zhu Qiyun gratefully, “Thank you for your hard work, fortunately, you are by my side.”

Zhu Qiyun laughed and said: “I’m an old man and wife, and you still say such things, and you are not afraid of the children. I heard the joke.” As he spoke, he paused, “I am both a sister-in-law and an aunt, and I don’t feel well for Yile’s mother and daughter.”

With Yan Wenjie’s statement, the entire Yan family turned to Zhang Huahan, They are all considerate and thoughtful, and they dare not treat them in the slightest. Even Funingju, where Zhang Huahan lives temporarily, is not an ordinary guest house, but Zhu Qiyun specially sent someone to clean it up.

Miss Zhang followed Zhang Huahan’s side, and she experienced the life of gold and jade that a real lady lived.

“Fifth sister, I really envy you. You have such a good uncle and aunt.”

Miss Zhang looked at the precious ornaments on the Duobao Pavilion and the elegant and warm boudoir. Can’t hide it.

Zhang Huahan didn’t respond. Her uncle and aunt were kind to her, but sometimes other people’s kindness is also a burden, and she was afraid that she would not be able to repay the kindness.

Soon, it was Yan Wenjie’s birthday.

At the birthday banquet, Zhu Qiyun personally took Zhang Huahan to wander among the women’s families. Apart from being a little nervous at the beginning, Zhang Huahan gradually became familiar with socializing with officials and family members.

It cannot be concealed that Yan Yile married into the Zhang family, and the brothers and sisters of the Zhang family also came this time. After a little inquiring, everyone soon found out about Zhang Huahan’s background.

Originally, everyone just looked at Yan Wenjie’s face and treated her more politely, but now seeing that she speaks neither humble nor overbearing, her manners are moderate, and she doesn’t have the bad habits of merchants, it made many people take a high look.

After the birthday, Yan Wenjie talked with Zhang Huahan personally, and wanted her to live in Yan’s residence for a while.

“What about your aunt, I want to give you a funeral ceremony, and what’s more, your mother hasn’t taught you how to be a housekeeper these years. Your aunt wants to take you with you.”

Hearing this, Zhang Huahan’s face was moved. The eldest sister was taught by her grandmother, and the second and third sisters also had their own mothers. She was the only one who had never been taught about housekeeping.

As for Jiji ceremony, no one mentioned it.

Zhang Huahan is not a person who doesn’t know what to do. He knows that his uncle and aunt are pitying him, so he immediately thanked him: “Huahan is very grateful to my uncle and aunt for showing mercy, but will this disturb my uncle and aunt?”

Looking at the cautious niece, the pity in Yan Wenjie’s eyes It got thicker, and he smiled immediately: “Don’t bother me, we are relatives, uncle’s house is your own home, you just need to live here.”

Feeling his uncle’s attention and love, Zhang Huahan’s nose felt a little sore: “Thank you, uncle.”

Seeing that she agreed, Yan Wenjie showed a smile on his face: “That’s right, we are a family, don’t be embarrassed. Your mother By the way, I will write to her personally, and as for your father, there will be no problem if your brother and sister pass on the message.”

Zhang Huahan saw that his uncle was so thoughtful, his eyes were a little hot, he didn’t dare to raise his head, and nodded nodded.

Zhang Huahan wanted to live in the Yan family, and the Zhang family uncle and Miss Zhang were extremely envious when they found out.

Apart from the discomfort and anxiety of being among the dignitaries at the beginning, now that the two of them have lived in Yan’s house for a few days, they have come into contact with people and things that they have never encountered before. Willing to leave.

However, the two of them had good eyesight, and they didn’t want to stay with them, so they left the Yan’s house the next day, left the city, and went to meet the Elder Zhang outside the city.

Master Zhang knew that Zhang Huahan was staying at Yan’s house, not only was he not unhappy, but he was very happy.

The better the Yan family treats Zhang Huahan, the better Zhang Huahan’s marriage will be arranged, which is undoubtedly the most beneficial to the Zhang family.

“Let’s go, let’s go back.” On

the way back, Mr. Zhang and the three immediately experienced the benefits brought by the Yan family’s in-laws.

Some officials took the initiative to invite them to take a boat, not just one or two!

In the past, how could officials think highly of businessmen like them!

This time I came to the provincial capital to celebrate my birthday. It is clear that the Zhang family and the Yan family are in-law families.

No matter how puzzled everyone is, they don’t know why the Yan family is interested in the Zhang family, but for the Zhang family, this is enough. As long as people know that they are standing behind the Yan family, the Zhang family will have a strong protection backing .

Grandpa Zhang was still sober, and he didn’t get carried away. He rejected the official’s invitation, and warned his two sons and daughters: “The name of the Yan family should not be used casually.”

“My relationship with your stepmother   , you have also seen that the Yan family is also very dissatisfied with being a father.” The Yan family will not be soft on the Zhang family, and you must keep this in mind.”

Both the Zhang family’s uncle and Zhang’s daughter nodded seriously, and the Yan family’s respect for the Zhang family’s Attitude, they also saw it when they went to celebrate their birthday this time.

The big family valued their reputation, and although they didn’t turn their faces away, they could clearly feel the alienation and rejection from them.

If there is no fifth sister, they are afraid that they will be kicked out directly.
