There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 599

[Chapter 599, Opportunity]

‘s wife in charge directly led Mrs. Zhu, Fourth Mrs. Zhu, and Zhu Qiyun to the main courtyard.

Mrs. Zhu knew that with her current status, she was no longer qualified to let Mrs. Li come out to greet her, so she was only slightly disappointed when she didn’t see Mrs. Li in front of the gate, and she wasn’t too surprised.

But now that the old lady of the Yan family is still there, she didn’t even say that she would take them to visit her when she had guests. She immediately understood in her heart that Mrs. Li was just here to save the face of both parties, so the smile on her face became a little bit farfetched.

Mrs. Zhu glanced at Fourth Mrs. Zhu. If she couldn’t visit Mrs. Yan, it meant she wouldn’t be able to see the second wife of Yan’s family. Then their purpose of coming this time would be ruined.

Mrs. Zhu Fourth also realized this, and she couldn’t help but feel a little sad, but she didn’t show it on her face, and still showed a decent smile.

Zhu Qiyun silently followed behind her elders, neither looking around nor overly apprehensive. At this moment, she could only do her best and obey the destiny. At this moment, every word and deed of her shows the bearing and calmness of a woman from the aristocratic family.

Soon, the main courtyard arrived.

Mrs. Li didn’t put on airs, and when she heard the maid said that the guests had arrived, she came out of the room with a smile and received Mrs. Zhu and the three of them in the yard.

After a few words of politeness from both parties, Mrs. Li led the three of them into the house.

“This is my niece. It was thanks to the eldest girl’s help on the Dragon Boat Festival.” Mrs. Zhu pushed Zhu Qiyun out with a smile.

Zhu Qiyun stepped forward calmly, and saluted Mrs. Li very gracefully: “Qiyun greets Madam.”

Mrs. Li looked at Zhu Qiyun with a smile, then quickly motioned her to stand up, and said to Mrs. Zhu and Fourth Mrs. Zhu with a smile

Seeing that Mrs. Li has a good opinion of her daughter, Mrs. Zhu felt a little more relaxed, and took the words with a smile: “My girl is far inferior to Miss Yan . She is really a character of Zhong Ling Yuxiu, and I was amazed for a long time when I saw the big girl in Guankou Tower that day.”

Some people praised their daughters, mothers are always happy, Mrs. Li talked a little more, talking about their children with Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu Fourth, the atmosphere was not bad.

Zhu Qiyun sat aside with a smile, although her face was calm, but her heart was already at the bottom of the valley.

Although Mrs. Li was warm and thoughtful, she had no plans to take them to visit the old lady of the Yan family, nor did she send someone to call the girls from the mansion to come out to meet the guests, which shows that they didn’t attach much importance to their arrival.

Just when Zhu Qiyun was feeling anxious, a servant girl came to report, “Madam, the eldest girl is here.”

Hearing this, the smile on Mrs. Li’s face immediately became real, and she said with a smile: “Just now I asked that girl to tidy up the warehouse. Don’t blame me for not being able to welcome you.”

Madam Zhu said happily: “Madam, what did you say

? This Fourth Mrs. Zhu is more talkative than Mrs. Zhu and is much easier to get along with.

Soon, the door curtain was lifted, and Daohua in a light green dress walked in with a smile.

Seeing Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu Si sitting in the room, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute: “Greetings to the two ladies. Yi Yi is late, and I ask the ladies to forgive me.”

Mrs. Zhu laughed quickly: ” My lady, hurry up!” Please get up.”

Daohua smiled and asked the maid behind her to bring chilled watermelon, and then walked to Zhu Qiyun and sat down beside Zhu Qiyun with a smile: “After the Dragon Boat Festival farewell, how is Miss Zhu?” Zhu

Qiyun said with a smile: “Thank you for your concern, I Everything is fine, as long as Miss Yan can call me Qiyun.” Daohua

took advantage of the situation and said, “Okay, then don’t call me Miss Yan, call me Yiyi.”

Seeing that her daughter had a good conversation with the eldest girl of the Yan family , Fourth Madam Zhu breathed a sigh of relief again, she smiled and asked the servant girl to take out the gift she had prepared.

Seeing the gift brought by Mrs. Zhu Fourth, Mrs. Li’s eyelids couldn’t help but twitch, and even Mrs. Zhu’s eyes flashed with astonishment.

Too precious!

Mrs. Zhu said gratefully: “My Qiyun wore the clothes of the eldest girl that day, and now she is back. This is my little thought, and I hope Madam will accept it.”

Mrs. Li was shocked. Returning to his senses, he shook his head and said, “It’s too expensive, we can’t accept it.”

Mrs. Zhu quickly said that it was not something expensive, and then looked at Mrs. Zhu, hoping that she would help to speak.

Madam Zhu looked at the three-day-old copy, and felt a little annoyed that Sifang had such a good thing, and she hadn’t even revealed it before.

Angry in my heart, I ignored Fourth Mrs. Zhu’s plea for help.

Fourth Mrs. Zhu had no choice but to persuade Mrs. Li to accept it.

Daohua glanced at the labeled gifts, including those from the second and third rooms, her eyes flickered, and she turned to look at Zhu Qiyun, seeing her hands clenched together, thinking of her current situation, Thinking that the second elder brother was talking about marriage, after a little thought, he understood why Mrs. Zhu Fourth gave such an expensive gift.

Seeing the tension in Zhu Qiyun’s eyes, Daohua sighed slightly in her heart, and said to Mrs. Li with a smile, “Mother, grandma should take a nap.”

Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter in surprise, and she had no intention of taking the Zhu family to see the old lady. , but her daughter brought it up, and she didn’t want to lose her face, and said with a smile: “If you two don’t mind trouble, just follow me to see the old lady.”

Mrs. Zhu Si said happily: “This is what Madam said. If anything, we are juniors, so we should visit the old lady.”

Looking at the happy fourth Mrs. Zhu, Mrs. Li seemed to understand the purpose of their visit this time, and her eyes quickly turned to Zhu Qiyun.

This girl looks pretty good, but the second brother and the second younger siblings may not like it.

While thinking, Mrs. Li stood up with a smile, and took Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu out of the door.

Daohua quickly pulled Zhu Qiyun up to follow.

On the way, Zhu Qiyun looked at Daohua hesitantly, but said nothing in the end.

Daohua didn’t say anything, she sympathized with Zhu Qiyun’s experience, but she wouldn’t interfere in the second room’s affairs because of it, and now it’s just a chance for her, it depends on whether the second uncle and the second aunt will like her. her own.

Soon, a group of people came to the old lady’s yard.

The old lady met Mrs. Zhu and the three very enthusiastically, and praised Zhu Qiyun generously when she looked at the dignified and decent Zhu Qiyun.

Knowing that the old lady had guests, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wu arrived in a short while.

Seeing Mrs. Sun, fourth Mrs. Zhu cheered up immediately, and even Zhu Qiyun secretly straightened her back.

Seeing the mother and daughter like this, Mrs. Li became more and more sure of her guess.

However, she didn’t know much about the Zhu family’s situation, so she didn’t speak rashly.

Mrs. Zhu Fourth is also a capable person. When everyone was chatting, she calmly changed the topic to the Zhu family, and focused on the situation of their room.

“My master passed away four years ago, and Qi Yun stayed at home to keep his filial piety, so he hardly came out to participate in banquets these years.”

“My master was the vice president of Wangyue Academy before his death, and he devoted his whole life to teaching students. My family is useless His son, who passed the Tongsheng examination at the age of ten, was sad because of his father’s death, and his health has not been good for the past two years, so he couldn’t continue to refer to it.”

“My master loves his children, and he prepared for Qiyun early He gave a generous dowry, he taught all his life, and accumulated tens of thousands of books and a lot of calligraphy and paintings, he said, when his daughter gets married, half of it will be used as a dowry.”

Hearing these words, Sun’s eyes brightened, and from Zhu Si When Madam turned the topic to Zhu Qiyun, she understood in her heart that this man had taken a fancy to her son.
