Chapter 790 Contentment
After getting married, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai spent more time at home. With the addition of two new daughters-in-law, the Yan family suddenly became a lot more lively. Mrs. Yan was very happy about this.
After Yan Wenkai's wedding, the Li family moved out of the Yan family and lived in the house they bought.
"Your eldest uncle and second uncle want to open a few shops selling southern specialties in the capital. Once the shops are opened, they will leave your third cousin to take care of them in the capital while they return to Zhongzhou."
In Daohua's house, Mrs. Li was sorting out Daohua's dowry list and talking to Daohua.
Daohua immersed herself in embroidering Xiao Yeyang's wedding dress, nodded and said: "The eldest uncle and the second uncle are successful."
Mrs. Li shook her head and sighed: "It's a pity that Yile doesn't like your third cousin. Your uncle's family has a lot of money. She must have had enough food and clothing when she married. Now your third cousin is staying in Beijing alone.
There is no in-laws to take care of her head. If she doesn’t want such a comfortable person, I would like to see what kind of person she chooses.”
"Your father asked me to help her choose a husband from a low-ranking official. But apart from the rich and lucrative yamen, which of the other low-ranking officials don't have a tight life?"
"This girl Yile is not as stable and sensible as Yishuang. She only cares about the glamor on the outside. She will suffer a lot in the future."
Daohua raised her head: "Mom, aren't the second brother and the second sister-in-law here? When you find the in-laws for the fourth sister, you invite the second sister-in-law and let her participate in the whole process. There are some things that the second sister-in-law is easier to talk about than you."
Mrs. Li smiled and said: "I would have done this even if you didn't tell me. I don't want to be blamed by your second uncle and second aunt in the future. After working so hard, I still can't do well in the end."
Daohua stretched her neck, stood up and poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Li: "Mom, I heard that father has guests today?"
Mrs. Li nodded: "It's the Imperial Academy's room offering wine."
Daohua wondered: "Why did father get involved with the Fang family?"
Mrs. Li: "Isn't your eldest brother in the Hanlin Academy with Fang Hao? Fang Jijiu is Fang Hao's uncle, and we started talking to him every time we went back and forth."
Speaking of Fang Hao, Mrs. Li couldn't help but think of his mother. Thinking of the unpleasantness of the last meeting, the smile on her face faded a little.
"Fang Jijiu is very knowledgeable, and your father likes to be arty. The two of them have met several times at other people's parties, and they have quite a chat."
"Your cousin Zixuan is married to a branch of the Fang family, and your sister-in-law's mother and Fang Hao's father are cousins. If you think about it carefully, our family is somewhat related to the Fang family."
"When your fourth brother got married, the Fang family also came to celebrate the wine. No, your father wanted to spend more time with the Fang family, so he invited people to his home this time."
Ask her to say that she really doesn’t want to have too much contact with the Fang family.
There is no way, Fang Hao's mother left a really bad impression on her.
Daohua also remembered the time when her eldest brother and sister-in-law tried to bring her and Fang Hao together. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't say anything. Anyway, she would have no contact with the Fang family.
......
In the blink of an eye, November has entered, and the weather is getting colder and colder.
After Daohua finished embroidering the last stitch, she rubbed her hands and came to the charcoal pot. She looked at the snowflakes flying outside the window, stamped her feet and said, "The winter in Beijing is much colder than that in Zhongzhou."
As he said that, he looked at Bishi.
"Master, are all the supplies for the winter ready?"
Bishi smiled and said: "Don't worry, girl, Dongli and Caiju are watching, so the old man won't be cold to you."
Daohua nodded and asked: "Will the prince go to Four Seasons Villa again this month?"
Bishi: "The prince was there the day I left. I heard from Zhuangtou that he seemed to have taken a hot spring bath with the old man. By the way, Prince Yong was also there. When the slave left, she saw that the old man was in high spirits.
”
Daohua felt relieved: "That's good." She will get married on the second day of the lunar month next month, and it is really inconvenient for her to run away again this month.
After a while, Daohua saw that the snow was not falling so heavily, so she asked Bishi to hold an umbrella and prepared to go to Mrs. Yan's room to have lunch with her.
As she was approaching the gate of Songhe Courtyard, Daohua heard laughter coming from inside, and the corner of her mouth suddenly curled up: "Grandma must be playing leaf cards with some sisters-in-law again."
With that said, he was about to step into the courtyard.
However, at this time, several men's laughter could be heard.
Daohua sounded unfamiliar, she stepped back and looked at the woman watching the door: "Is there a guest at home?"
The mother-in-law smiled and replied: "The uncle brought his cousin and several young men from the Fang family to greet the old lady. Now he is roasting venison with some grandmothers and girls under the flower shed."
When Daohua heard this, she immediately had no intention of going in: "If grandma asks about me later, just tell her that I have been here." After saying that, she tightened her cloak and left amid the flying snowflakes.
In the yard, Yan Wenjie sat next to Yan Wenxiu, smiling and chiming in a few words from time to time.
When he came to Beijing this time, he really felt it. Unknowingly, the second bedroom had been replaced by a larger one, and the third bedroom had fallen a lot.
Not only the eldest brother, but also the third and fourth brothers, he is not as good as Liang.
Looking at Yan Wenxiu who was chatting and laughing happily, Yan Wenjie's eyes were a little sad, and he felt more and more unhappy. At this moment, his wife cast a concerned look over him.
Yan Wenjie felt warm in his heart, smiled at Zhu Qiyun, indicated that he was fine, and then rejoined the joke.
Everyone loves to watch the dishes. Fang Hao and the two young masters from Fangji Restaurant were obviously very perfunctory towards him, so his interest was not very high.
But in order not to worry his wife, he still tried his best to blend in.
Because he was distracted, Yan Wenjie glanced at the white cloak that suddenly flashed past the entrance of the courtyard.
The white fox cloak without a trace of impurity is only owned by the eldest sister in the family.
Yan Wenjie thought that his wife had been worried about his brother-in-law's health since the beginning of winter. He thought about it, said something to Yan Wenxiu, and hurried out of the yard.
"Big sister!"
Hearing the call from behind, Daohua couldn't help but stop, turned around, and saw Yan Wenjie: "Second brother."
Yan Wenjie quickly came to Daohua: "Sister, why didn't you come into the yard just now? Grandma mentioned you before."
Daohua smiled and said: "There are guests here, and I don't have time to accompany them. So, it's better not to show up."
Yan Wenjie smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Daohua looked at Yan Wenjie, who had become much more mature and steady, and asked with a smile: "Second brother, are you okay?"
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Yan Wenjie's face: "Sister, the medicinal materials produced in your village are of good quality. I would like to buy some medicinal materials from you."
Daohua quickly asked: "Second brother is not feeling well?"
Yan Wenjie shook his head: "It's not me, it's... your second sister-in-law's brother. He is weak and gets sick as soon as winter comes. He needs medicine to support him."
Daohua smiled and said: "So that's it. Then second brother, please ask second sister-in-law to give me the prescription."
Hearing Daohua agree immediately, Yan Wenjie suddenly laughed: "Thank you, sister."
Daohua smiled and shook her head: "Second brother, you are too outspoken. We are a family. If you need anything, just ask. I will help you if I can."
Yan Wenjie's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded with a smile.
After that, the two of them chatted a few more words, and when Daohua saw that the snow started to fall heavily, she left.
Watching the rice flowers walk away, Yan Wenjie took a long breath. Qiyun was right. As long as it was not excessive, the eldest brother, whether he was an uncle or aunt, or an eldest brother or sister, would actually take good care of his second wife.

"What are you doing standing here?" Zhu Qiyun came over.
Yan Wenjie saw Zhu Qiyun and walked over quickly: "It's snowing, why did you come out?"
Zhu Qiyun patted the snowflakes on Yan Wenjie's shoulder: "I saw you hadn't been back for a long time, so I thought something was wrong with you, so I wanted to come out and have a look."
Yan Wenjie knew that his wife was worried about him, so he smiled and said: "Eldest sister has just come over. When you return to the room later, you can write down the prescriptions for your brother's usual medicine and send them to Daohuaxuan. The medicinal materials on hand are better than
It’s much better outside.”
After Zhu Qiyun heard this, her eyes were suddenly filled with smiles.
Because my husband could not go to Wangyue Academy with his eldest brother, third brother and fourth brother when he was a child, he has always cared about his eldest sister. Now that he can take the initiative to open his mouth to her for her own sake, she is very happy.
"Okay, I'll write it when I get back."
Yan Wenjie held Zhu Qiyun's hand tightly and led her back.
As he approached the courtyard gate, listening to the chatter and laughter inside, the unsatisfactory feelings in Yan Wenjie's heart suddenly disappeared.
He is lucky. Internally, he married a wife who thinks about everything for him. Externally, he also has uncles and eldest brothers to help him. Compared with others, he already has more than enough.
