    Yan Zhigao repaired for a day, and then took Yan Wenxiu to visit the residence of the Minister of Civil Affairs. After meeting the second master of the Zhou family, he led him to report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and wait for the emperor's summons.

    During the waiting period, neither father nor son thought about going to Yang Mansion.

    The Yang family waited for a few days, but finally couldn't bear it anymore. Yang Boyi brought his legitimate son Yang Hongrui to the door in person, and then met Yan Zhigao and his son.

    Yan Zhigao and Yang Boyi were classmates and had not seen each other for several years. They should have had a lot to say, but unfortunately, when the two met, they were left with nothing but embarrassment.

    On the other hand, Yan Wenxiu and his cousin Yang Hongrui had a great conversation, and they even agreed to go to the teahouse to listen to books together some other day.

    The Yang family¡¯s master stayed for a long time and then left. Before leaving, Yan Zhigao said: "When I meet the emperor, I will go see my sister."  "

    It¡¯s to see my sister, not to visit the Yang family.

    Hearing this, Yang Boyi felt a little uncomfortable, while Yang Hongrui looked embarrassed.

    A few years ago, their family was really unfriendly to my uncle's family. Not to mention helping, they didn't even show the most basic courtesy.

    He knew that his mother had resentment in her heart, and now seeing her uncle's attitude, she didn't have a good impression of the Yang family.

    ?¡­

    Xingzhou.

    While Yan Zhigao was waiting for the emperor's summons, the Yan family was living step by step.

    Time flies and it¡¯s February.

    On the fifth day of February, the young man from the Yan family came back panting with a letter.

    "Madam, a letter from the master!"

    Butler Sun handed the letter to Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li couldn't wait to open it and read it. Soon, a bright smile appeared on her face, and she quickly went to Songheyuan with the letter.

    When the people in the second and third bedrooms heard the news, they also hurried to the old lady¡¯s yard.

    "Mom, I'm very happy. The emperor personally assigned me an official, and now he is a fourth-grade prefect."

    Daohua was teasing the parrot with Mrs. Yan. When she heard this, her faces were all happy.

    Mrs. Yan said excitedly: "Here's the letter, show it to me quickly."

    Mrs. Li quickly handed over the letter.

    After reading the letter and confirming the news, the old lady immediately clasped her hands together: "The ancestors of the Yan family bless you!"

    Daohua also took the letter and read it over, her brows filled with joy.

    The better the cheap dad is, the better the rest of the family will be.

    At this time, Yan Zhiyuan and others came over.

    Yan Zhiyuan: "Sister-in-law, did you receive a letter from eldest brother?"

    Mrs. Li smiled and nodded.

    Yan Zhiyuan: "Brother, are you going to be transferred to the capital or somewhere else?"

    Mrs. Li: "Transferred to Ningmen Mansion and appointed as the Fourth Grade Magistrate."

    Yan Zhiyuan was a little disappointed when he heard that he was not being transferred to the capital. However, he thought that the fourth-grade prefect would be good, so he smiled and said, "Ningmen Mansion? This is still in Zhongzhou Province."

    Mrs. Li nodded. She had heard of Ningmen Mansion. It was the northernmost mansion in Zhongzhou Province. It seemed a little barren?

    Here, the Zhou family also received the news, and Mrs. Zhou immediately brought Zhou Jingwan over to congratulate her.

    The Yan family doesn¡¯t know the importance of Ningmen Mansion, but Mr. Zhou knows it very well.

    Ningmen Prefecture connects the three provinces of Zhongzhou, Jiguang, and Fenxi. Ningmen Pass is a very important military pass, with an area under its jurisdiction equivalent to three other prefectures. The prefects have always been personally appointed by the emperor.

    From this, it can be seen that the emperor had a good impression of Yan Zhigao's face to face this time, otherwise, he would not have sent such an errand.

    While Mrs. Li was entertaining Mrs. Zhou, Daohua took Zhou Jingwan back to her yard.

    "What are you looking for?"

    Seeing Daohua rushing into the study as soon as she came back, Zhou Jingwan looked puzzled.

    Daohua replied: "Map!"

    She had to see where Ningmen Mansion was and what the geographical environment was like.

    Zhou Jingwan looked surprised: "You still have a map?" Only male heirs can have access to this thing in their family, it is very precious.

    Daohua didn¡¯t even look back: ¡°I got it from Xiao Yeyang.¡±

    Hearing this, Zhou Jingwan was envious: "The young prince is so kind to you. You can't buy it outside the map."

    Daohua took out the map from the bookshelf, opened it, and said with a smile: "That's because he lost to me in chess, and this is my reward."

    Zhou Jingwan curled her lips: "Do you believe this? With your little chess skills, you can play against me. If you play against others, you will only lose."

    ? ?He said forcefully: "Fang Zheng, I won this."

    Zhou Jingwan was too lazy to argue about this and quickly came to Daohua's side: "Have you found it? Where is Ningmen Mansion?"

    Daohua pointed to a mark on the map: "At the northernmost end of Zhongzhou Province, there is a tributary of the Grand Canal flowing through it." She said with a smile, "Now that's good, we can still see each other often in the future."

    Zhou Jingwan nodded with a smile.

    Her family has a boat, and it is convenient to travel as long as it flows through the Grand Canal.

    Daohua looked at Ningmen Prefecture on the map seriously: "It connects the three provinces of Jiguang, Fenxi and Zhongzhou. The jurisdiction of this prefecture is quite large."

    Zhou Jingwan said immediately: "I heard from my grandfather that Governor Guo is stationed at Ningmen Pass within the jurisdiction of Ningmen Mansion."

    Daohua looked surprised. This was the first time she had heard of this. Then, she pondered for a while and said: "The bandits in Fenxi and the floods in Jiguang have only made the situation better in Zhongzhou. Ningmen Mansion is not easy to manage.  ah."

    Hearing this, Zhou Jingwan was surprised: "My grandfather said the same thing, but he also said that it is a bit difficult, but if you have the ability, it is the easiest place to make political achievements."

    Daohua didn¡¯t think much about it, let the cheap dad have a headache.

    On the third day after receiving the letter from Yan Zhigao¡¯s family, Mrs. Li received another letter, this time from the Li family.

    "What?! Cousin Zixuan's marriage has been decided?"

    Daohua was a little surprised. She and her two cousins ??had only been separated for more than two months: "Isn't this too soon?" She said while reading the letter written by her second uncle.

    After reading, Daohua sat down and pondered for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Mrs. Li: "Mom, did the Fang family who got engaged to Zixuan know that their father had been promoted to the prefect of Ningmen Prefecture, so they were anxious to settle the marriage?  "

    Mrs. Li nodded her daughter¡¯s forehead: ¡°You are a ghost and spirit everywhere.¡±

    If there is no denying it, it is indeed the case.

    Daohua looked worried: "Mom, if the Fang family is so utilitarian, will they treat cousin Zixuan well?"

    Mrs. Li: "Since your second uncle is optimistic about Young Master Fang, he must be of decent character. As for the utility you mentioned The two families are supposed to support each other when getting married. If they can get help from each other, it will be natural.  Everyone is happy.¡±

    Daohua was silent, and after a while, she asked, "Mom, do you think that the person I want to marry in the future should first consider whether it is beneficial to the Yan family?"

    Mrs. Li glanced at Daohua with a smile: "You're not ashamed." After saying that, she held Daohua in her arms, "You are my mother's daughter. I will not ask you to bring any help to the family in the future.  I just hope that you can live a happy life, just keep it in your heart, mother will not marry you off to just anyone."

    The corners of Daohua's mouth raised, and she climbed up the pole: "Mom, can I wait until I'm twenty before we kiss you?"

    As soon as these words came out, I was immediately shocked.

    Mrs. Li said with a straight face: "What nonsense are you talking about? At the age of twenty, she is already an old girl."

    Daohua was speechless. Twenty years old is a great time, okay? She immediately said: "Then eighteen years old? Eighteen years old is fine, right?"

    Mrs. Li sighed, stared at Daohua and said: "Girl, you don't know what you are thinking about all day long. Don't think about it. Mom can keep you at home for a few more years, but when it comes to marriage, you have to look at each other early."  over there."

    Daohua wanted to say something else, but was blocked by Mrs. Li.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
