On the first day of class, Yan Yishuang was sent back to the courtyard in tears. After Aunt Lin found out, she found Yan Zhigao that day and said that the new master was full of concubines and concubines, looked down on Yan Yishuang, and wanted to Change husband.

After Yan Zhigao heard this, he thought for a moment, then walked towards the main courtyard.

The foundation of the Yan family is too weak. If the family wants to develop and grow, the education of girls is very important, and he also attaches great importance to this.

Before, when Mrs. Li invited Mrs. Shen, she was angry with him. He even sent someone to inquire about Mrs. Shen's reputation and found out that she was a very popular lady in various families.

Therefore, he did not just listen to Aunt Lin's one-sided words, but wanted to go to the main courtyard to ask for clarification first.

Main courtyard.

As the Dragon Boat Festival approached, the Li family's holiday came. Mrs. Li asked Daohua to stay and watch how she distributed the gifts. When Yan Zhigao came over, mother and daughter were discussing what gifts to give in return.

Yan Zhigao saw that Daohua was there, so he didn't hide anything and directly asked about what happened in class today, especially what Master Shen said about the superiority of concubines.

Mrs. Li first served Yan Zhigao a cup of tea with a smile, and then told the details of what happened in the class in a leisurely and unhurried manner, without adding any of her own opinions.

"Because today is the first time for the girls to go to class, I'm worried that they won't be used to it, so I sent someone to look after them there. If the master still has doubts, he can ask them to come over and ask."

The implication is that if you don’t believe what I say, you can ask other people.

Seeing Yan Zhigao's silence, Daohua asked with a smile: "Father, do you think Master Shen is right?"

Yan Zhigao raised his eyes to look at his eldest daughter with clear and bright eyes. Thinking of her views on position and responsibility, his heart moved slightly: "What do Daohua think?"

Daohua smiled and said: "I think it's right. Just like my father, my father is an official outside and protects us. Therefore, my father is the head of the family and everyone listens to you. The greater the ability, the heavier the responsibility, and the natural enjoyment will be The more there should be. If there is only giving but no reward, people will become dissatisfied over time."

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao's heart was slightly shaken. He was a man, and he was a Jinshi. How could he be less knowledgeable than a kid with a yellow mouth?

In recent years, although he has given his wife enough respect for matters in the backyard, due to his deep-rooted prejudice against businessmen and respect for scholars, he has mostly been biased in his treatment of Shuangxinyuan.

I'm afraid Madam has been dissatisfied with this for a long time, right?

When Mrs. Li saw Yan Zhigao looking at her, she thought he was asking her what she meant. She thought about it and said carefully: "Master, Yi Shuang's temperament has indeed become a little delicate. Master Shen didn't say anything harsh today, and Everything I say is addressed to everyone, not to any individual person."

"Yishuang cried in class. This was undoubtedly a slap in Mrs. Shen's face. For this reason, Mrs. Shen was not angry and just asked someone to send her back to the courtyard. I don't know what Mrs. Lin said to the master, but we Now that we have invited Master Shen, shouldn’t we have the most basic respect for her?”

"Even if I'm dissatisfied, why don't you wait and see? After all, today is just the first day of class."

Daohua interjected: "Father, I don't want to make a report, but I think I should tell you that the third sister loves to cry so much. At the last banquet, everyone didn't pay much attention to her, but she just had eyesores.

Hong, I don’t know, I thought someone bullied her, which made me very difficult to deal with at the time. If you have a chance, you have to talk about her."

Yan Zhigao knew about this, but what he heard was another version. Aunt Lin told her that Daohua deliberately did not take Yan Yishuang with her and let the ladies from each family isolate Yishuang. However, he was busy after the banquet, so he left this

I forgot about it.

"You are the eldest sister. If there is something wrong with Yishuang, you can tell her."

Daohua chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in the corner of her mouth: "Father, I don't dare to talk about the third sister. If I say anything harsh and make her cry, who knows what Aunt Lin will say to you. When the time comes, you

Why don't you cause trouble for me?"

Listening to the eldest daughter's unceremonious accusation, Yan Zhigao looked a little uncomfortable.

Mrs. Li glared at Daohua: "Why are you talking to your father? I am usually busy with official duties, and it is inevitable that I will neglect things in the backyard. If you have something to do, please explain it to me. Can I still listen to your explanation?"
p>

Yan Zhigao nodded hurriedly, that is, if Aunt Lin can say it, can you also explain it? He is not a person who doesn't know right from wrong, how can he not give people a chance to defend himself?

Daohua didn't know what she thought of. She raised her lips slightly and sneered, "I'm afraid that I'll be hit with a stick before I even have time to explain."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Zhigao was really embarrassed.

When a girl from Zhu Jiaoyu's family was injured in the Yan family's backyard, he slapped his eldest daughter. He almost forgot about it, but he didn't expect that his eldest daughter would still remember it.

Mrs. Li also thought of this and was worried that the father and daughter would become more and more quarrelsome, so she drove Daohua away: "Don't you want to discuss with the old lady about making rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival? Go quickly."

Daohua said to the two of them, "Father, mother, I'll go to my grandmother's yard first." After saying that, she took Wang Man'er and left.

After leaving the main courtyard, Wang Man'er said worriedly: "Girl, let's leave like this. What if the master wants to vent his anger on the third girl and cause trouble for Master Shen?"

Daohua smiled calmly: "No, as a father, although my IQ often plummets when encountering matters related to Shuangxinyuan, he will not make decisions casually regarding the Master."<

/p>

Wang Man'er looked around and whispered: "Girl, I just secretly asked the chess player next to the master, and he said that Aunt Lin wants the master to exchange it directly for the wife."

Hearing this, Daohua suddenly sneered: "This Aunt Lin really...has no self-awareness at all." When she didn't like Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Li couldn't replace him directly. Aunt Lin thought that she

Does your voice have a higher authority than Mrs. Li?

Wang Maner nodded in agreement.

Daohua's expression was slightly restrained: "It's all because of my father's control." The reason why she is so satisfied with Master Shen, apart from his profound knowledge, is because of her extension from seat to responsibility, which really suits her.< /p>

The concubine who has given nothing has nothing to do with her delusions and brings a rich dowry, is in charge of the household, socializes and socializes as an equal, so why doesn’t she go to heaven?

"Let's not talk about Shuangxinyuan, let's go find grandma."

Main courtyard.

After Daohua left, Mrs. Li did not talk to Yan Zhigao about Aunt Lin and her daughter, but about the interactions between officials in Xingzhou.

"Sir, the prefecture is no better than the county. The interpersonal relationships here are complicated. Our family should pay more attention to some things, especially etiquette and rules. The master has been promoted to three levels in a row, which makes people jealous, but we can't be caught by others. It was a joke."

Yan Zhigao nodded in agreement.

His work in Xingzhou City did not go as smoothly as he imagined. On the contrary, it was still a bit difficult.

On the surface, the magistrate and his subordinates all look up to him, but when it comes to handling government affairs, these two people can delay and push away, but he can't find the fault, which makes it very difficult for him to handle. .

The government affairs had already made him very upset, so after knowing what happened in the backyard, he didn't want to worry about it anymore. He was silent for a while and said to Mrs. Li: "In the future, you need to be more educated like Yishuang." Take care of it."

Mrs. Li smiled: "I am her mother, this is what I should do."
