Chapter 443, Aunt
November 29 is the fifty-five-year-old birthday of Mrs. Yan. Although it was a scattered birth, because the emperor suddenly sealed the fate of the old lady and Mrs. Li, many people came to celebrate the birthday, so it was not until the eleventh. In the middle of the month, Mrs. Li got busy with her two younger sister-in-laws.
The rice flower who was in charge of the kitchen was naturally picked up, and Madam Li deliberately taught her housekeeping matters, which made her busy like a top every day.
Main courtyard.
Ms. Li looked at the purchase order, and asked Daohua, lying on the pillow, “Is the guest house ready? Your aunt, cousin, and cousin are expected to arrive in the next two days.”
Daohua weakly said: "It's been cleaned up a long time ago, but I see the grandmother's appearance, she should want her aunt to live with her."
Ms. Li smiled lightly: “It’s okay to live for a few days, but it won’t work if it’s a long time.”
Daohua raised her head and turned to look at Mrs. Li: "Aunts and they will live for a long time?"
Mrs. Li put down the purchase order and said with a smile: "Your aunt is rare to return to Ning. It's near the end of the year, so she won't leave until after the new year. I heard your father said that the Yang family has trusted the relationship, and your cousin Hongrui will also have to come next year. Going to Wangyue Academy to study, I'm afraid I will live in our house in recent years."
Ina Flower said ‘oh’, and then lay down again.
Ms. Li said again: "Although you are busy receiving your aunt, and you have to prepare for the birthday of the old lady, don't neglect Yunxi and Yun Yan."
Daohua nodded: "Mother, don't worry, I often stay with them these days."
Mrs. Li glared at her daughter angeredly: "Of course, mother knows, you call them to help you do things."
Daohua looked sullied and sat up: "Look at what the mother said, I will let them help me. It can help me and learn some housekeeping, which is a win-win situation."
Mrs. Li laughed and shook her head: "This is a way of inadequate hospitality, but Yunxi and Yun Yan are willing to learn, that's all. By the way, you left the sewing room to the three Yihuan to take care of it?"
Ina Flower nodded: "I just let them take charge of people and affairs. I still have the ledgers."
Ms. Li snorted: "You will take a break."
Daohua smiled and sat next to Mrs. Li: "Mother, I'm a good person. There are so many things in our family every day. I really want to do everything by myself. I have to be exhausted. Anyway, I can't figure out what is important. The big waves are coming."
Mrs. Li: "It's good if you know it in your heart, but don't despise others. You know, ants can kill elephants."
Daohua smiled and nodded: "I know."
At noon of the same day, Yan's family was eating at Songheyuan, but housekeeper Sun came over before the meal was finished.
Ms. Li put down her chopsticks and asked: "But grandma's boat has arrived?"
The housekeeper Sun nodded: "Ms. Yang, the Yang family’s boat has indeed arrived, but the Han family from Zhaode’s Earl’s Mansion came with the Yang family."
Hearing this, everyone at the dinner table was quiet.
The old lady Yan and the people in Dafang knew about the Han family, but the people in the second and third rooms really didn't know anything. When they heard someone from the earl’s mansion came, they were all stunned.
On the table, Daohua quickly looked towards her elder brother, and when she saw what he looked like, she blinked at him with a smile.
Yan Wenxiu was a little uncomfortable about his sister's jokes, and he looked away and did not look at her again.
Ms. Li became anxious: "The Han family are here too? Why don't you say it in advance?" The Han family may be the eldest son's future Yue family, but she can't neglect it.
Yan Zhigao suddenly raised his head and patted his head: "Look at my memory. I received a letter from the Han family a few days ago. It just happened that there were too many things in the office, so I forgot to say it."
Mrs. Li stood up and said, "I haven't prepared anything yet. I have to hurry up and clean up the place for people."
Daohua hurriedly pulled Mrs. Li: "Mother, just in case, when preparing the aunt’s yard, I cleaned up all of our guest house. Even if there are more family members, there is still a place to live. of."
Mrs. Li suddenly became less anxious: "Where is the person who is waiting?"
Daohua calmly said: "I asked Lady Fang to mobilize a group of people from various places to deal with emergencies, so let's assign them from there."
Mrs. Li nodded, and then said: "The Han family is the home of the earl. You can't use things too sloppy."
Daohua is still not rushing: "Of course, the Yan family's face can't be lost in the hospitality. I arranged it according to the specifications of the guest house where Xiao Yeyang lived. No matter how noble the Han family is, it is not more expensive than Xiao Yeyang."
Ms. Li thought for a while, and when she saw that there was nothing to ask, she sat down again, and then glanced at Daohua with relief. She is blessed, and she has a daughter to help her share her worries.
Everyone in the Yan family also looked at Daohua.
Sun smiled and said, "Our Daohua is really a good steward. Everything has been properly arranged in advance."
Yan Yi smiled and took over: “No wonder my big sister asked the sewing room to make a batch of new sheets and sheets. I was thinking about why at the time, and now I know it’s used to decorate the guest house.”
Sun said to Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile: "You have to follow your big sister to learn from you." After that, he looked at Daohua, "Daohua, you are a elder sister, so you can teach your sisters more. "
Ms. Li didn't wait for Daohua's response, she just changed her words: "Second sibling, don't praise this girl, she doesn't know anything." Then she brought the topic back to the sister-in-law who was about to go home.
My daughter is tired enough to learn to be a housekeeper, so there is no time to teach others.
And this is a thankless job. If you teach it well, you have to say a few sentences. If you don’t teach it well, you will be said to be unsatisfactory.
Neither Yan Zhigao nor Yan Zhiyuan interrupted about the backyard. However, Daohua asked Yihuan, Yile, and Yishuang to manage the sewing room. They all knew about it, and both of them were satisfied.
Yan Zhigao glanced at the eldest daughter, and felt relieved that the eldest daughter had a strong personality, but she was also magnificent. She knew that she was very elder sister to help her younger sister.
Immediately afterwards, everyone hurriedly ate dinner, and then went back to their rooms to organize and change clothes, preparing to welcome Yan Siyu and the Han family, but Yan Zhigao also waited at home and did not go to the Yamen.
In the carriage sent by the Yan family to pick up the people, Yang Xiuyun held his mother's hand with excitement and tension.
Yan Siyu helped her daughter tidy up her hair, and smiled: “Don’t be nervous, your grandmother, uncles, and aunts are all very kind people.”
Yang Xiuyun nodded: "Daughter knows." After speaking, he hesitated for a while, and asked, "Mother, my grandmother is over her birthday, why did Master Han bring the eldest son of the Han family here?"
Yan Siyu pondered for a moment: "Your uncle is afraid that he intends to kiss the Han family."
Yang Xiuyun was taken aback: "Is it Wenxiu's cousin?"
Yan Siyu said'um': "Your eldest cousin won the move in less than twenty, and now your eldest uncle is a holy family, and the future is boundless." He said, sighed, "If you are It would be nice to give birth two or three years earlier."
Hearing this, Yang Xiuyun's face flushed, and she lowered her head and said: "Mother, what are you talking about?"
Yan Siyu smiled and said, "Okay, I won't say anything." This is just her wishful thinking. With the current official position of the eldest brother, I am afraid that she will not look down on the Yang family.
Not long after, the carriage stopped.
Yan Siyu took Yang Xiuyun out of the carriage, and saw the three brothers and sister-in-laws standing in front of the gate personally welcoming him, tears burst into his eyes, and he walked quickly over.
Mrs. Li also hurriedly took Sun and Wu to greet her.
