There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 565

[Chapter 565, good news]

reading the recent accounts sent by the rouge shop, Daohua moved her stiff neck. During the period, she saw the moon hanging in the sky outside the window, and couldn’t help but meditate.

It’s the end of March now, and it’s been almost a month since Xiao Yeyang and his third and fourth brothers left. I don’t know if they delivered the weapons to the northern border and handed them over to the border guards?

“If the task is completed, it’s time to set off and come back.”

Wang Man’er came in with hot water, saw Dao Hua sitting in a daze, and smiled immediately: “Girl, it’s late at night, hurry up and wash up and rest.”

Dao Hua regained consciousness Nodding his head, he put away the ledger and walked over.

Wang Man’er waited on Daohua to wash and said, “Today my lady took the second lady to the banquet held by He Tongzhi’s family. I heard that she came back with a sullen face.”

Daohua asked, “How does my mother look?”

Wang Man’er smiled and said: “Madam seems to be fine.”

Hearing this, Daohua felt relieved and didn’t ask any more questions.

But Wang Man’er continued: “Girl, I just can’t understand what the second lady is thinking. Not long ago, she took his wife to Yun Tong’s house, and she was refuted by Mrs. Yun just as soon as she showed the tone of the girl from the Yun family. After returning home, this time I actually fell in love with a girl from Zhizhou’s family. Fortunately, my wife changed the topic in time so that the scene would not be too ugly.”

Daohua shook her head: “It is said that the second aunt doesn’t know how to measure . Well, but she also knows that her father is an official of the fourth rank, so she only looks for wives in the homes of officials of the fifth and sixth ranks, if she knows how to measure, she overestimates the qualifications of the second brother too much.”

Said, Sighed.

“Actually, if the second elder brother has fame, it will be much easier to say goodbye. Even if he is just a scholar, others will not reject it so quickly.”

Wang Man’er nodded: “Who says it’s not? Girl, do you have any questions?” Do you think the second master is not very motivated?”

Daohua paused for a moment. To be honest, she didn’t pay much attention to her second brother, because the second brother complained to her about the quota of Wangyue Academy. The old lady eats in the yard, and usually can’t even meet her face.

After being silent for a while, Daohua said, “Second brother is actually very flexible, but… maybe he doesn’t have a specific goal.” The

second uncle and aunt are both smart people, and they are very good at fighting for the interests of the second room. They are at the forefront of the charge. , the second brother can sit back and enjoy the success without doing anything at all. Anyway, the second uncle and aunt will solve it for him.

Unlike the eldest brother, since he was sensible, his father told him his responsibilities and mission as the eldest grandson of Yan’s family, and set him a clear goal, so he studied hard.

As for the third brother, when he was in his hometown, he knew that he had to take good care of the family’s fields so that he would not be hungry. Later, he went to Wangyue Academy to study. As he grows older, knowing that he will take on the burden of the third house in the future, he naturally knows to make progress.

As for the fourth brother, to be honest, he is the happiest among the older brothers. He is supported by his father and elder brother. He has no courage on his shoulders, so he can live a wanton and easy life. But the companions around me are too good. With comparison, I know to catch up. If I don’t want to be left behind, I can’t make progress.

The fifth brother, influenced by Aunt Lin, probably will regard the eldest brother as an imaginary enemy in his whole life, desperately chasing and surpassing, so he also worked extra hard.

The other two younger brothers are still too young to see anything yet.

Wang Man’er didn’t quite understand, so she talked about familiar ones: “Fortunately, there have been more banquets held by each family since the beginning of spring. Otherwise, the second wife might make trouble for my wife to hold a banquet at home, or take her to another house to visit.”

Dao Hua calmly said: “My mother will not let her make trouble, she will only satisfy her a little within the allowed range, after all, our family still needs face.”

After washing up, Daohua changed into her pajamas and lay on the bed, thought for a while, and said, “It’s time to visit my mother-in-law and master again in two days, remember to pack up the medicinal materials I prepared tomorrow. ”

After speaking, he frowned.

“When I went last time, I found that my mother-in-law has lost weight. After my grandmother knew about it, she was also thinking about her. She will go with me next time. I plan to stay longer and make some medicinal meals for my mother-in-law.”

Wang Man’er nodded in response Xia: “Don’t worry, girl, I let the humble girl look at those medicinal materials.”

Daohua nodded.

After she fell asleep, Wang Man’er quietly exited the inner room.

Two days later, Daohua and Mrs. Yan went to Peach Blossom Village together. This time, the two lived there until Yan Wenxiu came back from the capital in mid-April.

As soon as she got home, Daohua saw her elder brother’s brows were beaming with joy, and immediately smiled and said, “Sure enough, he is going to marry his sister-in-law. The elder brother who always smiles miserly will laugh.”

Hearing her sister’s joke, Yan Wenxiu glared at her uncomfortably. A glance: “I brought back some fashionable pearl flowers and materials, and someone put them in your yard. You can see if you like them after you go back.” Then, he paused, “It was chosen by the second girl of the Han family.

Daohua approached her with a smile, blinking her eyes and asked playfully, “So, did the brother and sister-in-law meet in Beijing this time? Seeing how beaming the elder brother is, it can be seen that he is very satisfied with the sister-in-law.” Yan

Wenxiu saw The more she talked, the more she went too far, and she tapped her forehead angrily: “What nonsense are you talking about, you girl, you don’t know that you are not ashamed at all.” Daohua covered her

head and smiled, “I’m happy for big brother, big brother If you are satisfied with the sister-in-law, you won’t miss the girls outside, and the family will be happy together.”

Hearing this, Yan Wenxiu’s expression froze, and he looked up at his sister, feeling that there was something in this girl’s words.

How could Daohua let her elder brother explore, and ran away bouncing around.

Seeing Yan Wenxiu, he chuckled silently, and then thought of what Daohua said, the smile on his face first slowly disappeared, and then gradually reappeared.

At the same time, in the capital city in April, court officials were overwhelmed by the news of good news from the northern frontier.

At the end of March: Xia Teng’s army raided the Tatar barracks, wiped out the main force of the Tatars, and forced the Tatars to retreat a hundred miles.

The sixth day of April: Lord Xiao, the commander of Jin Lingwei, led more than ten Jin Lingwei to capture the Tatar prince alive.

April 10th: Master Xiao, the commander of Jin Lingwei, led Jin Lingwei to successfully capture many secret agents in our army camp, some of them were of high authority.

If it is said that the first two items still made the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty overjoyed, then when the last piece of news came back, it would directly blow up the courtiers in a daze and make the court turbulent.

At the same time, when they were pleasantly surprised by the results of the war in northern Xinjiang, officials and common people had a question in their hearts.

That is the commander of Jin Lingwei who has made great contributions, Master Xiao, who is so sacred? Why haven’t I heard of it before?

Xungui, who was a little more informed, immediately thought of the person specially appointed by the emperor before, and sighed, “It really is the talent specially appointed by the emperor!”

But who is it?

In the early court on April 13th, all the officials had different expressions. When the emperor arrived, all of them were as quiet as chickens with their heads down.

The emperor was in a very good mood. The Tatars who had been stranded at the border were finally beaten back. Although they had not been completely driven away, he believed that it would not be long before his soldiers would drive away the hungry wolves so that they would not be able to escape. Dare to invade Daxia again.

The emperor twirled the emerald finger on his thumb, and looked at the officials below with great interest, especially those who were known to have taken refuge with Lao Ba. Looking at the panic and anxiety in their eyes, he felt refreshed.

Thinking about the progress in the affairs of the Baxianju, the smile on the emperor’s face deepened.

Little by little, he will remove all the influence of Lao Ba!

The emperor’s squinting and smiling look scared all the officials.

Seeing how trembling the officials were, the emperor said slowly, “Do you know why the Tatars have been locked in a stalemate by soldiers from northern Xinjiang and our army since last year?”

Thinking of the details of the capture, none of the officials dared to answer. .

The emperor seemed to have expected this kind of reaction from the officials, so he didn’t care at all, and continued on his own: “This is because some people with ulterior motives want to take advantage of foreign aggression, cause internal turmoil in the court, and hinder me, so as to benefit themselves. .”

He said with a sneer.

“The mountains and rivers are picturesque, who wouldn’t love them!” The

emperor whispered these words, but in the ears of the courtiers, it was like a thunderbolt, which made their brains buzz.

Although the emperor didn’t clearly state the identity of Xi Zuo, which one of those who attended the court meeting was stupid?

People of the Eight Kings!

The main hall was so quiet that one couldn’t even hear the sound of breathing unless one listened carefully.

No one is not afraid of such things as the struggle for the throne and the usurpation of the dynasty.

The emperor waited for the ministers to calm down for a while, and then said with a smile: “I have always had a question in my heart. Is my emperor not doing well enough these years? Did he kill the courtiers randomly, or treat the people harshly? How come there are still people alive now? You’ve come up with other ideas, and you’ve even disregarded the righteousness of the country.”

At first, the voice was still smiling, but in the end it was a bit gnashing of teeth, with an undisguised killing intent.

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers immediately knelt down on the ground with a ‘plop’.

The emperor stared at the courtiers for a long time, and then stood up: “Let’s end here for today’s morning meeting.”

After the emperor left the hall, there were sounds of relief one after another in the hall.

The emperor’s appearance just now was too scary.

Because of kneeling for a while, and the strength of kneeling just now, some elderly ministers still need to support each other to stand up, even if they are strong, their legs are a little weak.

The ministers came out in twos and threes, each of them looked at each other with friends and officials of the same party, and then left without saying a word.

Cheng Engong walked last, stood outside the hall and looked at the courtiers going away, thought for a while, then turned and went to the Palace of Compassion.

Compassion Palace.

As soon as the Empress Dowager saw Cheng Engong, she knew why he was here, and she also heard about the northern border.

Cheng Engong sighed: “We still underestimated the emperor.” There were also people from them in the barracks, but they didn’t know anything about Xia Teng’s surprise attack on Tatar.

The queen mother was silent for a while: “The emperor is full-fledged, don’t challenge his bottom line anymore, as long as we don’t cross the line, for his own reputation, he will not dare to attack the Jiang family.

” In front of the world, I am his own mother. He has to think about whether there will be any family that dares to do things for him in the future even if he is attacking his own uncle’s family.”

Cheng Engong frowned: “The Queen Mother knows that the one who captured Tatar alive Who is Mr. Xiao, the Great Prince of Tartar?” The

Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked over: “What do you think?”

Cheng Engong said uncertainly: “Xiao is a national character, and he is valued and trusted by the Emperor. Do you think it is Ye Yang ? Kid?”

Although the queen mother also had this guess, she denied it: “Yeyang’s child is only 17 years old this year, and according to his impetuous temperament when he was a child, he doesn’t seem to be able to do such a big thing.”

Cheng Engong: “Young generals, young capable ministers, there are such people.” The

Queen Mother nodded: “You are right, what happened to Yeyang in Zhongzhou these years, whether it has changed, how it has become, you and I I don’t know.”

Cheng Engong: “After the second child went to Zhongzhou, he mentioned Yeyang when he wrote the letter, but the second child said that although the kid was a little more stable, he was still the same as when he was a child, rebellious and rebellious. He doesn’t respect him very much either.” The

queen mother thought for a while: “You write a letter to Zheng Yuan immediately and ask him to find out the bottom line of Ye Yang. If Lord Xiao in Northern Xinjiang is really Ye Yang, then he is not in Zhongzhou now. If so .”

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes: “Then Master Xiao is really Ye Yang, I’m afraid it will be difficult for us to use him to contain the Ma family, and we have to re-plan some things.”

Cheng Engong nodded, and after leaving the palace, A secret letter was sent to Jiang Zhengyuan in Zhongzhou.

Not only the Jiang family, but the people from the Eight Kings also sent a letter to Zhongzhou, asking their people to inquire about Xiao Yeyang’s situation.
