There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 718

[Chapter 718, Chiqiong Agate Mandarin Duck Ring (two in one chapter)]

Mrs. Li told Han Xinran a few words, and then let her leave the main courtyard. As for what she wanted to say to the Han family, she didn’t bother to worry about it.

Han Xinran went back to the courtyard silently, looked at Yin Qin and looked at his nurse in charge, rubbed his eyebrows and said, “The reason why the Yan family was able to buy Zhuangzi was because of someone else’s relationship, and there is no way to help the Han family. Go back and tell your mother, Let her think of other ways.” The

nurse in charge looked disappointed, sighed and said: “Madam, what can I do, as long as the family can find a way, I won’t bother the second girl. Good girl, you feel sorry for me. Ma’am, let’s think of

a way.” As he spoke, his eyes lit up.

“By the way, Sanye Yan and Siye Yan in the mansion are working in Jinlingwei, and Jinlingwei is in charge of the case of the Eight Kings’ henchmen. They must have a way, or should the girl go and beg them?”

Han Xinran asked. His complexion suddenly darkened: “Sister-in-law, don’t say that, I’m a sister-in-law, how can I beg my uncle?” Thinking of Mrs. Li’s reprimand today, she couldn’t help but tone a little harder, “I want to really beg I lost my third and fourth brothers, and Mammy doesn’t want me to stay in Yan’s house safely.” Not to

mention my mother-in-law, even my husband would be displeased if he found out.

The nurse in charge was stunned, and quickly said soft words: “My good girl, this old servant never meant that.”

Han Xinran said with a cold face, “I really can’t help you with this matter, you should go back to mother.

” Momo glanced at Nanny Han, wanting her to help with the conversation, but Nanny Han didn’t look at her at all, so she had no choice but to salute and leave.

“Wait!” The

nanny in charge was overjoyed, so she said, the second girl listens to her wife most at home, how could she not help her mother’s family.

Han Xinran looked at the nanny in charge: “If there is no important matter in the future, don’t send people to the Yan’s house all the time. I am the daughter-in-law of the Yan family now, so I don’t want to take care of my mother’s affairs. After the nanny returns, please help me and Mother tell me.”

The nurse in charge opened her mouth slightly, and looked at Han Xinran in astonishment.

Han Xinran looked away and motioned for Nanny Han to give her away.

After sending the nanny in charge away, Nanny Han turned back and saw Han Xinran sitting in front of the window with a frowning expression. After thinking for a while, she stepped forward to comfort her and said, “Girl, don’t worry, Madam will definitely understand you.”

Han Xinran smiled bitterly: “I hope.” Then he paused, “I remember, after my elder sister got married, my mother never asked her to do anything for the family, she said she didn’t want her to embarrass her in-law’s house, why did she come here? I’m here.”

“Is it because the elder sister is married high and I’m married low?”

Nanny Han didn’t expect Han Xinran to come up here, she pondered for a while, and said, “Don’t think too much, girl, Madam shouldn’t have this. Meaning.”

Han Xinran frowned and said nothing.

The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and officials from various provinces have begun to deliver tributes to Beijing.

On April 15th, the chief envoy of Yun Province presented several boxes of precious gems and jade as tribute to the emperor, among which a pair of red agate and mandarin duck rings were particularly eye-catching.

Apart from its bright and eye-catching colors and delicate texture, the most important thing is its implication.

Agate is regarded as a symbol of happiness and auspiciousness, and it is carved into a mandarin duck ring, which is just suitable for couples who are in love with each other or newlyweds who are engaged to wear.

The moment the emperor saw it, he thought of his nephew and the eldest girl of the Yan family.

Two years ago, when her mother passed away, the eldest girl of the Yan family had already worshiped her nephew, but up to now the royal family has not given her a public title. Sometimes when I think about it, I really feel sorry for the little girl. It’s no wonder that when he went to see his uncle last time, his uncle didn’t give him a good face.

“The pair of mandarin duck rings will be rewarded to Ye Yang, let him take it as a betrothal gift.” The

emperor asked Eunuch An to send the mandarin duck rings to Xiao Yeyang.

Just as Eunuch An left, the queen mother and the queen’s people came.

The red jade agate mandarin duck ring has a special meaning. The queen mother likes to be a matchmaker these years, and wants to keep it as a reward for finger marriage; the queen wants to keep it as a dowry for her only daughter.

Unfortunately, both of them came a step late.

Knowing that the emperor had rewarded Xiao Yeyang, the queen mother frowned. Although the queen was a little regretful, she didn’t get too entangled.   Xiao Yeyang

was very happy when he received the Chiqiong Agate Mandarin Duck Ring. The image of Daohua’s long and white finger with the eye-catching agate ring appeared in his mind, and he couldn’t help muttering: “It must be very beautiful.”

After finishing his errand, Xiao Yeyang went to the palace to thank him, and just after he came out of the Qianqing Palace, he was summoned by the Empress Dowager to the Cining Palace.

“Brother Yang!”

Xiao Yeyang stepped into the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and saw Jiang Wanying, seeing her running towards him full of joy, Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help avoiding it a little.

“The magistrate don’t call me that in the future, it’s not good for your reputation.”

The smile on Jiang Wanying’s face froze, she bit her lip and looked at Xiao Yeyang pitifully: “But. I’ve always called you that.”

Xiao Yeyang frowned: “The county lord has grown up now and is going to get married in the future, if your future husband-in-law hears about it, he will be unhappy.” After finishing speaking , and entered the Compassion Palace by mistake.

Looking at the back of Xiao Yeyang who left without hesitation, Jiang Wanying’s eyes were full of mist, she was silent for a while, smiled again on her face, and followed in with her skirt.

In the hall, not only the Empress Dowager was present, but also the wife of the eldest son of Duke Cheng’en’s mansion and the second wife of Jiang.

The Queen Mother wanted to stay with Xiao Yeyang for dinner, but Xiao Yeyang refused because he had official duties.

So, the queen mother didn’t bother to exchange pleasantries, and asked straight to the point: “I heard that the emperor rewarded you with a pair of Chiqiong agate mandarin duck rings today?”

Xiao Yeyang: “Yes.” The

queen mother glanced at Jiang Wanying who walked in, and smiled. He said: “Since it’s a pair, then you definitely won’t be able to wear it, why don’t you give one to Wanying?”

Xiao Yeyang frowned directly: “Grandmother’s redemption, ring son Yeyang is to be left to the future wife, not suitable for the county magistrate.”

Hearing Xiao Yeyang’s sonorous and forceful rejection, Jiang Wanying shook her body Huang: “Brother Yang, you and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts, you just…”

Xiao Yeyang interrupted Jiang Wanying’s words with a face of disapproval: “The county lord, in front of the imperial grandmother, please respect yourself. When will I be with you?” Childhood sweetheart?”

“Xiao Yeyang, don’t go too far!”

Mrs. Jiang looked at Xiao Yeyang with a livid face. At the last palace banquet, Xiao Yeyang humiliated her daughter in public, and this time it was even more embarrassing. None left for the daughter.

The Empress Dowager’s face was also very ugly.

Xiao Yeyang ignored it, and saluted with fists folded: “Grandmother, if you’re fine, then Yeyang will leave first.” The queen mother

looked at Xiao Yeyang lightly, and said meaningfully: “Yeyang, Prince Ping’s mansion You really don’t want the title?”

Xiao Yeyang didn’t change his expression: “The palace belongs to the father, who does he want to leave the title to?

” A common problem is that you are too young and energetic, and you will only know what regret is when you get old.”

Xiao Yeyang lowered his head and did not speak.

Seeing him like this, the queen mother waved her hand indifferently, indicating that he could step back.

Xiao

Yeyang said directly: “Yeyang resign!” After they left the palace, the queen mother looked at Jiang Wanying, who was teary-eyed, and said coldly: “Don’t worry about a man who doesn’t like you, your tears won’t arouse him The slightest pity, on the contrary, he will think you are troublesome and annoying.”

Said, looking at Mrs. Jiang Er.

“Wanying is not young anymore, it’s good to give her a good look. Some of my Jiang family’s daughters are wanted by people.”

After Xiao Yeyang left the palace, he let out a foul breath, and gave away the unhappiness in the Palace of Compassion. Dispersed, just about to leave on horseback, when I saw the steward of the Guo family coming.

“Little Prince”

Guo Guanshi just opened his mouth, Xiao Yeyang interrupted him: “Don’t call me Little Prince in the future, call me Lord Xiao.” The

little prince was given by Prince Ping, and Lord Xiao was earned by him with blood and sweat .

Guanshi Guo immediately changed his words: “Master Xiao, the Duke of the State got a jar of good wine today, and I would like to treat you to the mansion for a drink or two.”

Xiao Yeyang thought that after returning to Beijing, he only went to the door of the Duke Ding’s mansion once, so he Nodding in agreement.

After arriving at Duke Dingguo’s mansion, Xiao Yeyang thought he was just having dinner with his grandfather in the front yard, but unexpectedly, he was taken to the back yard by the steward.

In the living room in the backyard, Duke Ding and Mrs. Guo were already waiting there, and Guo Xueming was sitting next to him.

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang frowned slightly.

After seeing the ceremony, Duke Ding asked about Xiao Yeyang’s affairs after he returned to Beijing, his words were quite concerned.

Under Ding Guogong’s loving eyes, Xiao Yeyang’s face gradually softened. Mrs. Guo wanted to interrupt several times, but Guo Xueming stopped them.

After Duke Ding learned about Xiao Yeyang’s basic necessities of life, he ordered his servants to serve the food.

Halfway through the meal, Mrs. Guo couldn’t bear it anymore, and asked with a smile: “Yeyang, I heard that the emperor rewarded you with a pair of agate rings today?”

The smile on Xiao Yeyang’s face faded instantly, and after seeing Looking at Duke Guo, seeing that he was also looking at her, she nodded: “Yes.”

Mrs. Guo immediately smiled and said, “The agate ring bestowed by the emperor must be first-class, Ye Yang, auntie will be generous today. For a moment, I want to ask you for an agate ring, but to tell you the truth, your cousin Xueming has grown up so much that she doesn’t even have a decent ring.”

Xiao Yeyang didn’t respond immediately, but Looking at Duke Ding, seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he immediately understood the reason why his grandfather asked him to come here.

“Grandfather and aunt, I’m sorry, the agate ring is what I want to leave to my future wife, and I can’t give it to cousin Xueming.”

Mrs. Guo’s complexion suddenly turned ugly, and now it is spread in the palace that the emperor rewarded Xiao Yeyang with a pair of Chiqiong agate mandarin duck rings. He wanted to take this opportunity to express that the Guo family wanted to marry him, but this person refused directly!

Guo Xueming on the side bit his lip, blushed and lowered his head.

The smile on Duke Ding’s face froze as well, but he recovered quickly: “Since you have other uses, forget it, come, have a good drink with grandfather.”

Mrs. Guo, who was directly rejected on the spot, felt a little embarrassed. Unable to save face, he said something to Duke Ding and left in a hurry with Guo Xueming.

After the mother and daughter left, Ding Guogong looked at Xiao Yeyang, thought for a while, and asked, “Yeyang, what do you think of your cousin Xueming?”

Xiao Yeyang looked at Ding Guogong with a serious expression on his face. He said: “Grandfather, I have a sweetheart.”

Ding Guogong was silent for a while: “Is it the eldest daughter of the new household servant’s family?”

Xiao Yeyang nodded.

Ding Guogong: “Yeyang, my grandfather didn’t want to interfere with your marriage, but you should think about it. After all, the foundation of the Yan family is a little weaker. I’m afraid that marrying the daughter of the Yan family will not help you in your future career. On the contrary, The Yan family still needs your help.”

“Especially, your father has helped the Ma family, and now Xiao Yechen is someone who can compete with you for the title of the palace. The Ma family has developed well these years, and Xiao Yechen has Marrying the daughter of the Duke of Wei’s family, if you don’t have a capable Yue family to help you, I’m afraid you won’t be able to compete with him.”

Xiao Yeyang smiled: “Thank you grandpa for your concern, I will go to everything I want by myself Fight for it, it’s good for the Yue family to help, if not, I won’t force it. Miss Yan family is the one I really want to ask to marry, it has nothing to do with status.”

Duke Ding sighed, didn’t say more, remained silent After a while, he asked again: “Does your mother know about this?”

Xiao Yeyang nodded, “I know.”

Hearing this, Duke Ding didn’t say much anymore, and only asked Xiao Yeyang to drink and eat vegetables .

By the time Xiao Yeyang came out from Duke Dingguo’s mansion, it was already on the top of the tree.

Xiao Yeyang took out the Chiqiong Agate Mandarin Duck Ring from his bosom and looked at it. He knew that this was not a good time to find Daohua, but he still went to Yan’s mansion by accident.

Outside Yan’s residence, Defu and Deshou looked at each other in blank dismay as their master stared at the wall of Yan’s courtyard in a daze.

Defu muttered in a low voice: “Could it be that the master wants to climb over the courtyard wall?”

Deshou’s eyes widened: “That’s not possible, the master would not do such a shameless thing.”

Defu thought With a sound of “hehe”, when meeting Miss Yan, all the master’s morals can be put aside first.

Deshou listened carefully to the sound of beeping in the distance: “It will be Haishi (21:00) soon, this girl Yan should have already slept, the master will not see anyone even if he climbs over the wall, or you go Talk to the master, let’s go back first, and come back tomorrow.”

Defu glanced sideways at Deshou: “Why don’t you talk about it.” While the

two were talking, they saw Xiao Yeyang suddenly throwing a chicken leg against the wall , and then just leaned against the wall in God’s presence and didn’t move.

At the same time, Daohuaxuan.

Daohua had just washed up and was about to dry her hair before going to bed, but suddenly she heard a dog barking in the yard, she walked out of the house and saw Bishi coaxing the dog Xiaoyi.

“What’s the matter?”

Bishi shook his head with fine sweat on his forehead, “Xiao Yi was fine before, but just now he jumped and screamed again, no matter how you comfort him, he can’t be comforted.”

Dao Hua walked over and touched her. Patting Gou Xiaoyi’s head: “Calm down at night, don’t disturb others to sleep.”

Gou Xiaoyi bit Daohua’s skirt and dragged her out.

Daohua Nahan: “What is Xiaoyi doing?”

Bishi was unsure: “Where does it want to take the girl?”

“Where are you taking me?” Daohua was curious, and followed Gou Xiaoyi Out of the yard.

Soon, Gou Xiaoyi brought Daohua to the courtyard wall in the back street.

“Woof, woof, woof!”

Outside the courtyard wall, Xiao Yeyang, who was not sure whether his method would work or not, heard the dog barking, ecstasy flashed across his eyes, and immediately jumped onto the top of the wall with a jerk of his body.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang suddenly, Daohua’s eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly.
