"Grandma, mother, I'm back!"

Before you see the person, you hear his voice first.

Hearing this cheerful and energetic voice, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li, who were sitting together to discuss Yan Wenxiu's marriage, instantly smiled on their faces and looked towards the door.

The three sisters Sun, Wu, and Yan Yihuan in the room also looked over.

The door curtain opened, and Daohua in a blue cloak walked in with a smile, followed by the three brothers Yan Wenxiu.

Mrs. Li stood up quickly: "You guys, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back?"

Daohua smiled and stepped forward to hold Mrs. Li's arm: "Look what mom said, my brothers and I need to spread the word before we go to our own home?"

Mrs. Li nodded with Daohua's forehead: "Is that what Mom means? Mom means that I can send someone to pick you up at the pier in advance."

Daohua smiled and said, "Brother and the others are here, why bother to go home again?"

Mrs. Li glanced at Daohua with a smile and pushed her toward Mrs. Yan: "Why don't you go and say hello to your grandmother? The old lady has been talking about you a lot these days."

Daohua let go of Mrs. Li, walked towards Mrs. Yan who was sitting on the step, blessed her, then saluted Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wu, and then sat directly next to the old lady: "Grandma, Daohua

I miss you so much."

Mrs. Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth: "Miss me? I think you have gone crazy in the provincial capital!"

Daohua took the old lady's arm, leaned on her shoulder, and said with a smile: "No, I miss my grandma every day, but grandma, do you miss me?"

Mrs. Yan snorted: "I'm busy, I don't have time to think about you, a girl."

Hearing this, Daohua sighed: "Hey, I knew my grandmother had begun to dislike me."

Old Mrs. Yan glanced sideways at her mischievous granddaughter and slapped her on the forehead angrily: "I don't think I'll despise you!"

Below, the three Yan Yihuans couldn't help but lower their eyes when they saw their eldest sister coaxing their grandmother into smiling faces as soon as she came back.

During the period when their eldest sister was away, they would come over every day to stay with their grandmother. Although her grandmother was kind to them, she was far less close to them than she was to her eldest sister.

At this time, Yan Wenxiu and three others stepped forward to salute.

Mrs. Yan smiled and asked the three of them to sit down, and then began to ask them about their affairs in the provincial capital.

A few people chatted and laughed for a while, and Mrs. Sun intervened: "You guys came back at the right time. Just now we were talking about marrying Wen Xiu."

Daohua looked stunned for a moment, looking at her elder brother who looked uncomfortable, and then looked at Mrs. Li: "Mom, did you say goodbye to your elder brother?"

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "I just have this intention." She looked at her eldest son who was as tall as a tree with joy and pride.

It was really the right thing to let the eldest son follow the master to Beijing this time. However, when I went out to meet a guest with the second master of the Zhou family, I was attracted by Uncle Han of Earl Zhaode's Mansion at a glance.

Mrs. Yan looked at her eldest grandson with a smile: "In a blink of an eye, Wen Xiu is already eighteen, and it's time to say goodbye."

Daohua quickly asked: "Whose lady is it?"

Mrs. Li: "I've said it all, I just have an intention, and I haven't even written out my horoscope yet."

Daohua saw that Mrs. Li seemed unwilling to say more, so she didn't ask any more questions, but her eyes fell on her eldest brother.

The other kids did the same, snickering and looking at Yan Wenxiu.

Although Yan Wenxiu felt that he was quite thick-skinned, he still felt a little uncomfortable when his brothers and sisters were staring at him. He had no choice but to stand up and said: "Grandma, mother, second aunt, third aunt, I'm going to clean up the yard."

Seeing that her son was embarrassed, Mrs. Li asked him to leave very considerately, and Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao also followed.

Mrs. Yan looked at Daohua: "Okay, you can go clean up your own yard and come over to talk in the evening."

Immediately, Mrs. Li took Daohua to the main courtyard.

......

The backyard of Fu Yamen is more than twice the size of the backyard of Zhou Yamen. It takes a full quarter of an hour to walk from the old lady’s Songhe Courtyard to the main courtyard.

"Why is this backyard so big? Isn't it illegal?" Daohua looked surprised.

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "It's not a violation of the rules. The area under the jurisdiction of Ningmen Mansion is relatively large. Correspondingly, the government office is naturally larger than other mansions."

Daohua nodded: "Mom, where do I live?"

Pingtong smiled and took over the words: "The big girl naturally lives in the most exquisite courtyard in the backyard."

The most magnificent main courtyard is the residence of the lady and the master; the most comfortable courtyard is given to the old lady.

Because there are enough courtyards, the girls and young masters all have a separate courtyard. However, the uncle and the eldest girl's are larger and the location is better.

The only people in the family who share the same courtyard are Aunt Liu and Aunt Lin.

Soon, mother and daughter arrived at the main courtyard.

"What are these things?"

Looking at the many objects placed in the yard, Mrs. Li was a little surprised.

Daohua explained: "Some are gifts prepared by uncles and aunts, and some are relocation gifts given to our family by Xiao Yeyang."

Mrs. Li first looked at the gifts prepared by the Li family, smiled and asked Pingtong to move them to the warehouse, and then started to look at Xiao Yeyang's gifts.

When I saw the dressing mirror and dressing table inlaid with carved rosewood, my expression suddenly changed: "This is too expensive!"

"Mom, don't worry and keep it!"

Yan Wenxiu and Yan Wenkai walked in with smiles.

Seeing her two sons, Mrs. Li looked happy: "Is the yard tidied up?"

Yan Wenxiu smiled and said: "Mom has prepared everything, and we have nothing to deal with."

Yan Wenkai also said: "Thank you for your hard work, Mom."

The smile on Mrs. Li's face grew more and more: "What's the hard work? I'll clean up the yard for you. Mom is happy." After saying that, she turned her eyes to the dressing mirror and the dressing table.

Since the eldest son said that he could keep it safely, she no longer hesitated and directly called the rough lady: "Move this full-length mirror and dressing table to the eldest girl's courtyard."

Daohua quickly stopped: "Mom, it's enough for me to have a dressing table. The mirror mounted on it is big enough. You can keep the dressing mirror for your use."

Mrs. Li glanced at the rice flowers: "It's fine if you have a bronze mirror, you don't need a full-length mirror."

Daohua shook her head: "How can a bronze mirror reflect as clearly as a dressing mirror? My mother has to go out to be a guest, and she also has to receive visiting women from time to time, so she must dress up decently."

"Yes, mother, this is my sister's filial piety, just accept it." Yan Wenxiu interrupted at the right time.

Yan Wenkai also nodded: "That's right, one for each person, just right."

When Mrs. Li saw that her three children had said this, she agreed with a smile on her face: "Okay, I accept your wishes."

"What material is this? It's so beautiful!"

Ping Xiao opened a box and found five pieces of silk material that were different from other silks.

Mrs. Li took a breath: "This is Kesi!"

The round fan given by the emperor was made of Kesi, so she recognized this material.

Mrs. Li picked up a piece of lotus-colored silk tapestry, with a somewhat hesitant and embarrassed look on her face: "This moving gift from the young prince is really too precious." As she said that, she looked at her daughter again.

"And the house last time, you said it only cost three to four thousand taels of silver, but when your father went to the capital and asked about it, he found that it would cost at least twenty to thirty thousand taels to buy it."

Daohua's eyes suddenly widened: "So expensive?!"

Yan Wenxiu took over: "The prices in the capital are naturally higher than elsewhere, and the house is next to the inner city and the location is very good."

Daohua was stunned for a moment, then patted her chest: "It's okay, okay, I gave him the glazed prescription. As long as he can find someone to make glazed, we don't owe him anything."

Owe?

Hearing this word, Yan Wenxiu looked up at his sister and felt relieved when he saw that she looked worried about owing the favor of the young prince.

The young prince is obviously a little too attentive to his sister, and he is really worried that the two of them will have some kind of relationship.

The young prince's status is too valuable, and his family simply cannot afford it.

Now that he saw that his sister had no such intentions for the young prince, he felt a little relieved.

"What kind of glass prescription?" Mrs. Li keenly captured the key points of her daughter's words.

Yan Wenkai responded first: "It's the recipe for making colored glaze that my sister saw in the story book."

Mrs. Li looked suspicious: "Isn't that prescription fake?"

Glazed utensils are so expensive to sell. Who would write the recipe for making them in a storybook?

Of course, Daohua didn't dare to say too much, and said with a vague smile: "It doesn't matter if it's real or fake, let Xiao Yeyang test it. If it's real, it won't benefit him."

Mrs. Li was speechless.

Yan Wenkai also curled his lips and said: "Sister, you are not kind. When I saw you swear so confidently before, I thought Liuli was really easy to control. Are you trying to deal with the young prince's feelings?"

Daohua immediately retorted: "How can I be perfunctory? Everything in this world has to go through repeated trials."

Yan Wenkai: "What if the young prince didn't test it?"

Daohua was silent: "Then... the production master he found is not good, so he will continue to test."

Mrs. Li smiled and stopped the argument between her two children, and looked at the five pieces of tapestry in the box. Three of them seemed to be suitable for little girls, while the other two were darker in color.

"This lotus root color, sky blue, and tender green, I took it to the eldest girl's yard, and the golden brown one was used to make clothes for the old lady. I kept this sapphire blue one."
