Daohua smiled and went into the main courtyard to go to her room. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Mrs. Li packing things: "The quality of this coral is really good. Is it a gift from my uncle?"
Mrs. Li smiled and put down the things in her hands, and sat down on the collapse with Daohua: "Isn't it true? Every time your two uncles come to Beijing, they will give our family a lot of things. Mom asked them not to bring them, but But they never listened."
Daohua smiled: "This is the wish of the two uncles. Just accept it as a gift and then send something good back to you."
Mrs. Li smiled and nodded: "That's all we can do. By the way, do you have something to do with your uncle?"
Daohua shook her head: "There were so many people just now, and I haven't even talked to my uncle yet, so I just wanted to come over and say hello."
Mrs. Li smiled and said: "He was dragged away by your fourth brother. Your fourth brother is the father of four children. He is still making noises like he was a child. He is not stable at all."
Daohua laughed: "Isn't this home? No matter how old you are, you will still be your parents' child."
Mrs. Li liked hearing this, and the smile on her face suddenly grew, and she started talking to Daohua about her daily life.
"Our family, as well as the Li family, have been doing well over the years, and Mom is really happy. By the way, when your second uncle came to Beijing last time, you asked me to say thank you to you on his behalf."
"Huh?" Daohua looked confused: "What are you saying thank you for?"
Mrs. Li smiled: "The Fang family is very honest now."
Upon hearing this, Daohua immediately understood.
The year before last, Fang Liangji took his concubine to Xiliang to do business. Knowing that he allowed his concubine to act openly in the name of his wife, Fang Liangji was disqualified from doing business in Xiliang.
In addition, I also sent a letter to Yan Wenkai, who was in the South China Sea Navy, telling him about this matter.
After all, Xiliang is just a new market. The Fang family hasn¡¯t started investing yet. Even if they don¡¯t do business there, they won¡¯t lose much.
But the market in the south was managed by the Fang family with great difficulty, and it is also the main source of profit for the Fang family.
There are many waterways in the south, and a large part of the reason why the Fang family can do business is because of the protection of Yan Wenkai, a naval officer.
Yan Wenkai received Daohua¡¯s letter and knew that Fang Liangji was so ungrateful that he had taken advantage of the Li family, but he did not treat the Li family¡¯s daughter well and directly cut off the convenience for the Fang family.
There are many checkpoints on the waterway. Without convenience, the Fang family¡¯s filial piety money paid to each checkpoint would have to be at least several times more than before.
Mrs. Li continued: "Now that your cousin Zixuan's life is much more peaceful, the concubine surnamed Sun has been driven to Zhuangzi."
As he spoke, he sighed.
"Your two uncles are just afraid of troublesome us. Otherwise, if they had told us earlier that the Fang family was nothing like that, Zixuan would not have been angry for so many more years."
At this time, Pingtong came in with tea. After putting it down, she smiled and said: "Just now, I saw the Second Mistress at the gate of the courtyard. The Second Mistress heard that the Madam and the girl were talking, so she left."
"Second sister-in-law?" Daohua smiled, "Mom, when I came back this time, I saw that second sister-in-law seemed to be avoiding me on purpose. Is she blaming me?"
Mrs. Li shook her head: "Qiyun is a good person. She is not blaming you, she is probably embarrassed. What Yile did in Xiliang, I still feel ashamed and panic when I think about it."
"Is it possible for a young lady to do such shameless things like spying on my brother-in-law and murdering my niece?"
"Tell me, you sisters all grew up together and studied literature and science with the Master together. How come you have grown up like Yile?"
Seeing that Mrs. Li was so angry, Daohua smiled and comforted her: "Mom, the matter is over. I didn't let Yan Yile get any favors, so don't be angry."
As he spoke, he looked at Mrs. Li curiously.
"Mom, I heard from Jingwan that Yile has remarried, but she was vague about it. Please tell me more specifically."
Seeing her daughter's gossipy face, Mrs. Li was a little amused. After laughing, her face turned gloomy: "Yile, I don't even want to talk about her. Not only does her eyes not work well, she also has a problem with her brain."
"Your new fourth brother-in-law is the second Fang Shuo. After all, Fang Shuo comes from a wealthy family, and he still has a sense of etiquette, justice and shame. Even if he intends to seduce Yile, the most he can do is meet in private."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Li showed an expression that was hard to say.
"Why is Yile's marriage so rushed? Why didn't your second uncle and second aunt, who always care about the good things in the big house, say anything about it? That's because Yile and Zhang Wan were blocked in bed by your second uncle and the others."
Hearing this, Daohua was so shocked that her mouth opened.
She has always known that Yan Yile has always been selfish and willful, regardless of the consequences, but she did not expect that she would do such an outrageous thing.
After all, it was her niece who she had watched grow up since she was a child. Mrs. Li still had some sadness on her face: "I lost my virginity and was blocked by others. In order to prevent the Yan family's reputation from being tarnished, your second uncle and second aunt had no choice but to Marry Yile in a hurry."
"The family background of the Zhang family is not a little worse than that of the Fang family, and Yile is so arrogant. I heard that there was a lot of trouble before getting married. I really don't know what will happen to this child in the future?"
"Because of this, your grandmother and your father didn't sleep well for several nights."
Daohua's expression didn't change. She had no sympathy for Yan Yile now. Even if Zhang Wan tried his best, Yan Yile had to give him a chance first. As an adult in his twenties, If you make a mistake, you have to pay for it yourself.
Mrs. Li looked at Daohua: "During this period, your second brother and sister-in-law have rarely come to our house. Yile and Fang's reconciliation had already made the family lose its reputation. Now that something like this happens again, the two of them are even more worried." I¡¯m too embarrassed to see anyone.¡±
Daohua was silent: "I heard from Xiao Yeyang that the second brother did very well in the Hanlin Academy. As long as he can stand up, the second brother will not be too bad."
Mrs. Li nodded and stopped talking about the second room. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, mother and daughter went to the old lady's yard together.
On the other side, Zhu Qiyun was watching the maids setting dishes in the dining room of the old lady's courtyard, listening to the laughter coming from next door, looking a little lonely.
At the same time, the granddaughter-in-law of the Yan family has no confidence to compete with the granddaughter-in-law of the first and third bedrooms.
She had no in-laws to rely on, and a sister-in-law who had brought disgrace to the family. Even though her family didn't say much, she was still suffering in her heart.
Now the burden of the second wife is all on the shoulders of her husband. As a wife, she just wants to share more with her husband. Even if she feels uncomfortable in the laughter of everyone, she still has to force a smile.
She knew too well that without the help of the eldest brother and the third brother, he would not be able to go very far if he relied on himself alone.
The second brother-in-law is the best example.
Last year, there was a severe drought in several northern provinces at the same time, and the Huaichuan Mansion governed by the second brother-in-law was also affected. Unlike in Xiliang, where King Weiyuan protected him, the second brother-in-law encountered many difficulties in the first year of his work alone.
It can be seen from the letter written by the second sister that their life in Huaichuan Mansion was not easy.
This also made her understand that if the first house really left the second house alone, it would be difficult for the second house to do anything by itself. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
