There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 523

[Chapter 523, beat]

the fourteenth day of the first lunar month at the Dong family banquet, at the beginning of Sishi (9:00), Mrs. Li and Mrs. Fan went out with Daohua, Li Zixin and others.

Naturally, each family would not neglect the banquet held by the highest officials of Zhongzhou Province. When Daohua and his party arrived, many carriages and horses had already gathered in front of the gate of the Dong Mansion.

Because there were carriages and horses ahead, Daohua and the others sat in the carriage and waited for a while.

“Wenxiu!”

Outside the car, a cheerful and smiling male voice sounded.

“Where are Wen Kai and Wen Tao? Why didn’t they come?”

Then, Yan Wenxiu’s voice sounded.

“They have something to do, so come over with the young prince at noon.”

Yan Yile couldn’t help it, and opened a corner of the car curtain, and immediately saw Dong Yuanxuan who was chatting and laughing with Yan Wenxiu in front of the gate of Dong Mansion.

Looking at Dong Yuanxuan of Yushu Lanzhi, the faces of the girls in the carriage could not help showing a hint of admiration.

Daohua glanced at it, her eyes also filled with admiration.

Perhaps it was because the girls in the carriage were looking too hotly, Dong Yuanxuan noticed something, raised his eyes and looked this way, saw that it was a girl from the Yan family, and nodded with a smile.

Seeing Daohua, she hurriedly said: “Put down the curtain quickly, so that no one can see it.”

Outside, Yan Yile was quite polite, put down the curtain of the car obediently, sat upright behind her, and said with a smile “Brother Dong smiled at me just now.”

Yan Yishuang snorted: “Don’t be so cute, Brother Dong is obviously smiling at all of us.”

Yan Yile opened her mouth to refute, but was stopped by Yan Yihuan .

Daohua sat on the side playing with the harem, and didn’t pay attention to it, as long as they didn’t make any noise, bicker or anything, she usually didn’t care.

Yan Yi smiled happily and changed the subject: “Speaking of which, Brother Dong has not been to our house for a long time.” Then, she looked at Daohua, “Big sister, in the past, Brother Dong was always with the little prince and the third brother. , and the fourth brother came in and out together, but why haven’t they been together this year?”

Dao Hua: “Brother Dong is about to reach the crown, and he has already started to take over the family’s general affairs, so there will naturally be less free time.”

Dong Yuanxuan Unlike the third and fourth brothers, the Dong family has already paved the way for him. As long as he follows the family arrangement, he will have a good future, and he doesn’t need to work hard like the two brothers.

Everyone was stunned.   Hearing the bustle and bustle outside the car, Li Zixin

interjected, “Dong Manor has held many banquets in the past two months. I heard that they are for the purpose of choosing a relative for Mr. Dong.”

He looked towards Li Zixin.

Yan Yishuang asked eagerly: “What you said is true? You didn’t lie, did you?”

Being questioned, Li Zixin was a little unhappy, and pouted, “Why should I lie to you? Years ago, my mother and I I went to another house as a guest, and I heard many ladies talking about it.”

Daohua glanced at Yan Yishuang, who was a little overwhelmed, and then at Yan Yihuan, who was stirring the handkerchief together, and frowned: “Brother Dong said it’s not surprising. Dong Buzheng’s term of office will expire at the end of this year. Even if their family doesn’t choose in Zhongzhou, they will go back to the capital to choose.” He

said with a serious face.

“When you go out as a guest, don’t make a fuss as soon as you hear something. If people see it, they will think that the girl from my Yan family is not dignified. The people who are here today are all the upper-level officials of Zhongzhou and the female relatives of some old aristocratic families. If you don’t want to To leave a bad impression on the wives, just pay attention to your words and deeds.”

Hearing this, Yan Yishuang and the others became more disciplined.

The girls are all thirteen or fourteen years old now, and they all know that in two years they will start discussing marriage. Every time they go out, it is to build their reputation and save their eyes, so they dare not act willfully in front of their own future.

Daohua tapped a few words, seeing that her sisters were quiet, she was relieved a lot, didn’t say anything, and leaned on the carriage with her eyes closed to rest.

After that, Yan Yishuang and the others were silent.

Seeing that both Yan Yishuang and Yan Yihuan were absent-minded, Yang Xiuyun’s eyes flickered, thinking of the handsome young man he had just met, she felt a little better.

Soon, the carriage moved, entered the side door, and went straight to the vertical flower door.

When they arrived at Chuihuamen, Daohua and others got out of the car, and saw Mrs. Dong and Dong Yuanyao personally welcoming them.

Mrs. Dong pulled Mrs. Li affectionately, and did not ignore Mrs. Fan, and said enthusiastically: “You are finally here, the stage has been set up, go, follow me to the theater.”

Mrs. Li smiled and said: “You have to let Let’s go say hello to Mrs. Dong first.”

Mrs. Dong smiled and said, “Mother is also on the stage.”

Mrs. Dong led Mrs. Li and Mrs. Fan to the front. Get behind.

Daohua whispered: “A lot of people came to your house today, right?”

Dong Yuanyao nodded with his face crossed, “Isn’t that right? I woke up early in the morning and haven’t rested yet.” Daohua

sympathized She patted her hand, she knew how tiring holding a banquet would be: “Thanks for your hard work.”

Soon, everyone came to the stage.

Daohua glanced at the staff preparing on the stage: “Double Happiness class invited by your family?”

Dong Yuanyao nodded.

Daohua : “Anxi is here too?”

Dong Yuanyao nodded again: “He’s here, after all, he is also the pillar of the Shuangxi troupe. Everyone loves to listen to and watch plays, and he has to be in.” Daohua

sighed: “Yesterday he He was punished to kneel and beaten, so I don’t know if he can go on stage?”

Dong Yuanyao: “Actors come on stage with injuries, this kind of thing is very normal in the troupe, even if it feels uncomfortable, you have to endure it.”

Afterwards, Mrs. Li took Daohua and the others to greet Mrs. Dong. After Mrs. Dong arranged for them to sit down, she hurried to greet other people. Dong Yuanyao sat with her for a while, and when she saw other girls coming, also left.

At this moment, the play has begun.

Mrs. Dong ordered Anxi’s in the first round.

Daohua was nibbling melon seeds while watching Anxi on the stage.

“I used to think that these melon seeds were not interesting to eat, but now I’m used to it, and I can’t leave it when I’m listening to the show   .

”

For the banquet at Madam’s house, we stayed in the house and ate melon seeds without doing anything, and we didn’t feel bored.”

“My grandmother also likes to chat with us while eating melon seeds.”

Hearing the chats of other ladies, Dao The corner of Hua’s mouth ticked, it seems that melon seeds have gradually spread.

At noon, Mrs. Jiang led Jiang Wanying to arrive.

As soon as Jiang Wanying arrived, many ladies gathered around, saying that her clothes were beautiful and her headgear was special.

Jiang Wanying smiled and listened to the compliments from the ladies for a while, and when she saw Daohua sitting beside her, her expression froze slightly. They also looked over, the two looked at each other, nodded at each other, and then looked away.

Backstage on the stage, after An Xi sang a few times, his body was a little exhausted, but at this moment, the young man in the front yard came to tell him to go to the front yard to sing.

The head teacher heard this, and hurriedly bent down to answer.

After the boy left, the class leader looked at An Xi, seeing that he couldn’t hide his exhaustion with makeup on, and felt a little regretful, if he had known that he wouldn’t have beaten him like that yesterday.

However, Anxi’s temper is too stubborn, he dared to show his face to the son of a political lord, so he had to teach him a lesson, otherwise, the whole theater troupe would be implicated by him.

“You support one more time. After singing, I will immediately replace you with Ning Xi.”

An Xi said nothing.

The head teacher sighed and motioned for others to put on makeup for him.

An Xi didn’t move, letting others put on makeup on him, but he put his hands on his knees and squeezed them vigorously.

The wound on his back was fine with the golden sore medicine left by the girl yesterday, but his legs were so sore now because they got cold from kneeling for too long.
