Chapter 49 Closeness and distance

 Daohua was not actually very angry with Yan Wenxiu. Although she did not agree with some of the things he said that day, she would not keep fussing over them.

Especially when she thought that her eldest brother was only a teenager, she felt embarrassed to keep holding on to him.

So, under Yan Wenkai's insistence, he took his time to go to Zheguiyuan.

As soon as the two people arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, they heard laughter coming from inside.

When I walked in and took a look, I discovered that Yan Wenjie, Yan Yihuan, Yan Yile, Yan Wenbin, and Yan Yishuang were all there.

Several people were gathering in the hexagonal pavilion in the courtyard, drinking tea and chanting poems.

Seeing that her eldest brother, Yan Wenbin, and Yan Yishuang interacted very closely, Daohua was a little surprised. She turned around and asked Yan Wenkai: "Fourth brother, the eldest brother has a good relationship with Wenbin and Yishuang?"

Yan Wenkai said without thinking much: "My eldest brother's enlightenment was taught by Master Lin. He has been close to Wen Bin and Yi Shuang since he was a child."

Hearing this, Daohua was stunned and asked speechlessly: "How come the eldest brother's enlightenment is taught by Aunt Lin's younger brother?"

Don’t you know that the main wife and the concubine are born to be enemies?

Even if the two parties can coexist peacefully, it would not sound good to let the younger brother of the concubine teach the eldest son of the first wife!

You must know that according to the rules of this era, the status of a concubine is not high. If a concubine's family comes to the door, they will not be received as relatives. The favored one may be met by the head of the family or the wife. If the concubine is not favored, he or she will be treated directly.

I sent two or three servants and they were sent away.

Isn’t the cheap dad very particular about status, so he doesn’t even look down on the wife of a merchant? How could he agree to such a ridiculous thing?

Yan Wenkai didn't have such a big reaction as Daohua, and scratched his head: "I can't remember what happened when I was a child. It seems that my father had just become the county magistrate at that time. Things were quite busy, and my mother wanted to be in charge of the family. It happened that Aunt Lin's brother

When she came to see her at home, Aunt Lin took the initiative to ask Master Lin to enlighten her eldest brother."

"Humph!"

Daohua sneered.

No need to ask, as soon as the sweet wife opened her mouth, her cheap dad agreed in a daze.

Daohua once again glanced at the intimate eldest brother and concubine in the pavilion, and had a deeper understanding of Aunt Lin's methods.

In the inner courtyard, she was favored by the head of the family and was on good terms with her eldest son; in the county government office, her younger brother was the master who helped make suggestions, so she was really caught both inside and outside. Aunt Lin's mother's family was poorer, otherwise, she would have been in Yan'an

The family’s influence is definitely greater than Mrs. Li’s.

Daohua: "Fourth brother, is the eldest brother still very close to Shuangxinyuan now?"

Yan Wenkai saw something wrong with Daohua's face, and then he realized that this sister didn't seem to like the people in Shuangxinyuan very much, and immediately shook his head: "No, since I went to the county school, my eldest brother has spent all his time studying.

Except for Wenbin, Yishuang will come to ask questions from his eldest brother, and has almost no contact with Shuangxinyuan."

To be honest, he doesn't like Aunt Lin either. As for Wenbin and Yishuang, he can't play with them anyway.

"Fourth brother, eldest sister!"

Several people in the pavilion noticed Daohua and Yan Wenkai standing at the entrance of the courtyard, and immediately shouted.

"Let's go, let's go there."

Yan Wenkai pulled the rice flowers over and walked quickly towards the pavilion.

"Fourth brother!"

As soon as the two entered the pavilion, Yan Yishuang, Yan Yile, and Yan Wenbin stood up and greeted them with smiles.

And for Daohua...

Yan Yile has not been very happy these days because she has run out of materials and cannot wear beautiful clothes during the Chinese New Year. Now that she sees Daohua, she will naturally not look down upon her. Not only does she ignore Daohua, but she also prevents her from marrying Daohua.

Greeting Yan Yihuan.

On the other side, Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin will not take the initiative to talk to Daohua. Aunt Lin has no shame to leave Shuangxin Courtyard to thank Daohua. They both have great opinions on Daohua.

For a while, the atmosphere in the pavilion became a little weird.

Yan Wenjie sat beside him and watched the scene with a smile, without any intention of standing up to lighten the atmosphere.

Yan Wenxiu glanced at Daohua, who was isolated by his younger brothers and sisters, and sighed: "Why did the eldest sister want to come here?"

Hearing this, Daohua raised his eyebrows.

She doesn't care about other people's disregard.

Anyway, she has no real feelings for these so-called brothers and sisters.

But she still cares a little about this eldest brother from the same mother.

"Brother, don't you welcome me?" Daohua asked with a smile.

Yan Wenxiu frowned. He really felt that his eldest sister's temperament was a bit wild and her words were not gentle at all.

"Why do you ask, eldest sister? Why don't eldest brothers welcome you?" Yan Yishuang smiled and stood next to Yan Wenxiu, pulling his arm affectionately, "eldest brother, do you think what I said is right?"

Yan Wenxiu nodded with a smile and looked at Daohua: "Eldest sister is too worried. I am very happy that you can come. We are composing poems. You can come too."

Daohua smiled: "Brother, it seems you don't pay much attention to me. How long have I been in school, and how can I write poetry?"

Yan Wenxiu's expression paused. He really hadn't considered this.

Yan Yishuang looked at Yan Wenxiu and took over: "Eldest sister, don't blame eldest brother. Elder brother is usually busy studying, and sometimes he has to answer questions for me and Fifth Brother. He didn't mean not to pay attention to eldest sister."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the pavilion looked at Yan Yishuang.

Yan Wenjie seemed to be smiling, but his mother was right. Once the eldest sister came, the fun in the eldest house would never stop.

The eldest sister is not easy to mess with, so the third sister is not a simple one.

A faint displeasure flashed through Yan Wenxiu's heart. As he grew older, he knew more and more. He had been deliberately alienating Shuangxinyuan, but he could not go too far with Yishuang and Wenbin.

.

Daohua glanced at Yan Yishuang lightly, ignored her, pointed to the snacks on the table and said: "Mom is so biased, she bought so many delicious snacks for eldest brother, but eldest brother, why don't you call me third brother?"

And Sixth Brother? They are the two who like to eat the most." After saying that, he reached out and picked up a piece of pastry.

Yan Yishuang spoke again, with a guilty look on her face: "Sister, the cakes were sent by my uncle, and I forgot to invite the third brother and the sixth brother. We used to live like this before...

That’s why I didn’t think of the third brother and the sixth brother. Don’t be angry, eldest sister, I will call the third brother and the sixth brother right away..."

"Are you tired?" Daohua suddenly interrupted Yan Yishuang.

"Ah?" Yan Yishuang was stunned. She didn't quite understand what Daohua meant.

"Bang!"

Daohua threw the cakes in her hands back on the table, clapped her hands, and then looked at Yan Yishuang: "I think you and your aunt are quite tired."

After saying that, he looked at the other people in the pavilion and said, "You can write poems, and I won't disturb you anymore." After that, he turned around and left.

"Sister, wait for me, I can't compose poetry either."

When Yan Wenkai saw Daohua leave, he immediately put down the cakes in his hands and chased after her.

When she walked out of the courtyard, Daohua looked back at the brothers and sisters who were busy comforting Yan Yishuang in the pavilion and smiled contemptuously.

"Sister, why are you walking so fast?"

Looking at the fourth brother who was panting and chasing after him, the smile on Daohua's face became more sincere: "I'm afraid that if I walk slowly, I will be infected with the pretentious disease."

"Let's go to grandma's place. I'll treat you to something delicious."

Hearing this, Yan Wenkai's eyes lit up: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!" After saying that, he picked up the rice flowers and ran away.

As for persuading his eldest brother and eldest sister to reconcile, he had long ago forgotten them.
