Chapter 146, good days are behind

   "What are you talking about, the eldest brother of the fourth daughter-in-law was promoted to Xingzhou Zhizhou at the beginning of this year?" Old lady Yang asked in shock.

  The lady in charge nodded: "Yes, the lady in charge from the Yan family told the Fourth Lady herself."

  Mrs. Yang Er muttered: "Why doesn't the Yan family tell us about such a big matter?"

   Hearing this, Mrs. Yang's complexion changed, and her heart jumped when she thought of the letter that her daughter accidentally dropped into the water in March.

  The old lady Yang is also wondering that the Yan family is still good to the fourth daughter-in-law, and it is impossible to not support this kind of thing. Suddenly, when she saw the older daughter-in-law whose complexion changed slightly, it became clear in her heart.

  This guy who succeeded less than failed!

The lady in charge thought for a while and asked: "Old lady, do you want to prepare a house for the servant from the Yan family? The old slave took a closer look, and the servant from the Zhou family was very polite to the lady of Fang. The family relationship should be good."

   "When the Fourth Lady called the person away, the Zhou family members also took the initiative to mention the time to go back, saying that they would go back together."

  Lady Yang thought for a while: "Go and prepare. This is the first time someone from the Yan family has come to Beijing since we went to Beijing. Don't lose courtesy."

  "This is wine. The eldest girl made it herself. The slave and maid had the honor to drink it once. It was so delicious. The four girls can keep it for themselves or give it away."

  The two jars of wine sent here are packed in large jars, which can be poured into small jars and divided into many portions.

  "This is fermented rice, which is also made by the eldest girl. Making sweet soup in winter is the most nourishing."

  "These are the vegetables that the old lady personally planted in the greenhouse. She said she was worried that the north was too cold and the girl didn’t have any greens to eat, so she sent a big car. Unfortunately, the road was freezing a lot."

   "These pots of red plums and winter chrysanthemums were raised by the old lady and the eldest girl. They said they were used for the girls, the young masters, and the young ladies to enjoy."

After   , Mrs. Li prepared other wears, and Fang Niangzi introduced them one by one, then looked at the people in the room, and carefully took out a jewelry box.

As soon as the jewelry box was opened, Yang Xiuyun, who had always been calm, couldn't help his eyes light up.

  There are only four flowers in the box, one each for plum, orchid, chrysanthemum, and peach, all of which are made of pearls of different colors. They are lifelike and not delicate.

  "This is a gift from the eldest girl to the young lady."

  Yan Siyu: "This is too expensive. You should keep the rice flower for yourself."

  Lady Fang smiled and said, "I still have it there." Then she took out a set of fine pen, ink, paper and ink, "This is for Master Biao."

  Finally, Lady Fang gave a long box to Yan Siyu: "This is from the old lady. What it is, the slave and maid don’t know."

   Yan Siyu touched the box and opened it to see that it turned out to be a century-old ginseng.

  In an instant, Yan Siyu's tears were about to shed again.

  Niang. Niang, this is still remembering that she had hurt her body when she gave birth to a child, so she sent ginseng to her to help her up!

  "Girl, relax, the good days are coming! Maybe one day, the Yan family will also enter Beijing." Fang Niangzi said suddenly.

  Hearing this, Yan Siyu's mother and daughter looked at Fang Niangzi at the same time.

  Yan Si's tone was a little urgent: "Really, Sister Fang, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

  Fang Niangzi: "Of course, our uncle was already a scholar a few years ago, and now he is studying at Wangyue College. The middle pound is just around the corner."

   "There are also third masters and fourth masters who are also practicing martial arts in Wangyue Academy. Their bodies are as strong as calves, and they are preparing for future martial arts examinations."

  "Our Yan family will get better and better. Although the master's official position is only from the fifth-rank Zhizhou, but the master is a clean official and he is still young. Who can guarantee that he can't rise one more level?"

  "Girl, listen to the slaves, if you are embarrassed by the Yang family or your uncle in the future, you must not bear it. When you came, the lady said that the Yan family can now support the girl."

   Listening to these words, Yang Xiuyun was also very excited. If the grandfather's family really entered Beijing, then the mother and them would have to rely on.

After   , Yan Siyu took Fang Niangzi to talk for a while, until the people next to the old lady came over and said that the room was ready, then let them leave and go to rest.

After    and others left, Yan Siyu discovered that there were still a few hundred banknotes hidden in the box containing the ginseng. He immediately felt mixed, and started sobbing directly on the table.

  In the evening of the same day, the Yang family knew about the people from the Yan family and the promotion of Yan Zhigao to Zhizhou at the beginning of the year.

  Master Yang: "Fourth brother, go and ask the fourth siblings, how do you return the new year gift? Discuss with her, draw up a list, and give it to your sister-in-law."

   Yang Gamei, who is now a fifth-rank official, nodded.

  He didn't expect that his classmate could turn over. Now the official position is the same as him.

  When Yang Gamei returned to the four-room courtyard, Yan Siyu was leading Yang Xiuyun to distribute the New Year gifts to each room.

   Seeing his wife’s eye sockets were red and swollen, Yang Boyi’s eyes flashed and he was silent for a while, then smiled and walked in: "What are you doing?"

   Seeing her husband, the smile on Yan Siyu’s face immediately faded, and said faintly: “The New Year gift from my eldest brother and sister-in-law is about to be delivered to every room.”

  Yang Boyi glanced at the things in the room, his expression was slightly surprised.

  This time, the Yan family's New Year gifts are rich enough.

  Not to mention the pots of red plum and winter chrysanthemum blooming in full bloom, but the jar of wine that the wife and daughter are sharing from far away can smell the scent of wine, all of which are rare to see.

   "It seems that my elder brother's family is really developed, and he can even get wine." You know, he has only heard of this thing, but he hasn't drunk it yet.

   Yan Siyu glanced at Yang Boyi: "These are all made by the family."

   Hearing this, Yang Boyi was really surprised: "Do you still have this craft in the Yan family?"

  Yan Siyu: "I haven't contacted my home for a long time, I don't know."

  Yang Boyi's face changed slightly, and then he smiled and said, “I’m also to blame. I am usually too busy and neglected to communicate with your mother. I will communicate with my eldest brother in the future.”

  That night, Yan Siyu sent the gifts distributed to all parties.

  One small jar of wine, one small jar of fermented wine, and two baskets of vegetables in each room.

  As for the potted plants, except for sending a pot of red plums to Mrs. Yang, Yan Siyu left two pots in his house for the others, and left them to decorate the house for a pair of children.

  In the past few years, she has treated her son and daughter badly. She didn't want to give the other three rooms to her sons and daughters at all.

  At dinner, every room expressed gratitude.

  This time, the Yan family's New Year gifts are really good. Although the quantity is a little less, they are all good things that are not available on the market.

   "Hey, sister five, are the flowers on your head made of pearls?" The third girl in Dafang saw the new bead flower on Yang Xiuyun's head at a glance.

  Yang Xiuyun smiled and touched her hair bun, and nodded sternly: "This is given to me by my cousin. Third sister, isn't it good-looking?" She wore the bead flower deliberately.

  In previous years, every time during the Chinese New Year, the other three rooms would deliberately or unintentionally dislike the mother and her shabby. Today, she will also show off in front of them and tell these people that she also has a grandfather's family.
