In the main courtyard, Mrs. Li saw Daohua coming back, and asked with a surprised smile: "Why haven't you gone to rest yet?"

Daohua: "Mom, cousin Hongrui will report to Wangyue Academy after the new year, right?"

Mrs. Li: "Why did you think of asking this?"

Daohua: "Just ask."

Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter: "What your father means is that Hong Rui's studies are quite solid, but he is not very understanding of the world. It happened that your eldest brother was following Master Xiao during this period, so he asked him to follow him and watch.

, and also allowed him to broaden his horizons."

Daohua frowned: "Mom, let my cousin go to the academy early. Although my father is kind, the Yang family may not appreciate it. Let's not delay other people's studies."

Mrs. Li was a little surprised at her daughter's displeasure with Hong Rui. She knew that for the old lady's sake, even if her daughter didn't like Xiujun's sentimental temperament, she would often pull her to do things.

.

Now that Hong Rui has provoked his daughter to come directly to her, he must have done something that made her very unhappy.

Mrs. Li was just about to say something when Yan Zhigao came back.

Daohua stood up, bowed to Yan Zhigao, and then said, "Father and mother, I won't disturb your rest. I'll go back first."

Yan Zhigao nodded, waited for her to leave, and asked Mrs. Li: "What is that girl doing here?"

Mrs. Li helped Yan Zhigao change clothes and said with a smile: "Nothing, let's talk about visiting Master Gu tomorrow."

When Yan Zhigao heard this, he didn't ask any more questions.

When he went to wash up, Mrs. Li called Pingtong: "Go and find out what happened to Daohua and Hongrui today?"

Pingtong nodded and quickly retreated.

When Mrs. Li was serving Yan Zhigao, Pingtong came back.

Mrs. Li covered Yan Zhigao with the quilt and met Pingtong outside: "Let's talk about it."

Pingtong immediately told Yang Hongrui about blocking the rice flowers.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li's face immediately darkened. When she learned that Yang Hongrui still wanted to pull her daughter, she was so angry that she slapped her hand on the table. The noise was so loud that even Yan Zhigao in the room was alarmed: "What's wrong?

”

Mrs. Li calmed down: "It's okay, I accidentally bumped into the table."

Pingtong also had a look of dissatisfaction on her face: "Why does this young cousin have no self-awareness at all? Considering the situation of the Yang family, he actually wants to try to get hold of our eldest daughter."

Mrs. Li raised her hand to stop Pingtong: "Don't mention this matter anymore. His Yang family may not have a tutor, but my Yiyi still needs a reputation."

Pingtong nodded: "Madam, don't worry, all the servants and servants who know about this have already said hello, and it won't damage the eldest girl's reputation."

Mrs. Li drank a cup of tea until she completely calmed down before entering the inner room.

Yan Zhigao was leaning on the bedside reading a book. When he saw Mrs. Li coming in, he moved towards the bed and asked, "What happened just now?"

Mrs. Li smiled and lay down on the bed: "It's nothing, it's just that a few servants made mistakes and were a little angry."

Yan Zhigao smiled and said: "You're celebrating the New Year, why bother getting angry with my servants? You worked really hard some time ago, so just leave some small things to the housekeeper and relax yourself."

Mrs. Li nodded: "I know."

After that, Mrs. Li casually chatted with Yan Zhigao about other things, and the conversation ended with the Yang family.

"Master, after the Lantern Festival, let Hongrui report to Wangyue Academy. I know you want him to learn some skills from Master Xiao, but the Yang family has spent a lot of effort to get a place to study at Wangyue Academy.

Son, although we have good intentions in leaving Hong Rui at home, the Yang family may not think so, and they may even think that we are not well-intentioned."

Yan Zhigao glanced at Mrs. Li. He knew that his wife would not talk about this without reason. He thought of what happened outside just now: "Well, the academy is also a small society, and you can learn how to behave in society."

He felt sorry for his only sister, but he didn't like the Yang family at all. Hong Rui grew up in the Yang family and had more or less the habits of the Yang family, which also made him a little unhappy.

He has seen how his wife treats his sister. Now he asked Hong Rui to go to the academy in advance. Although she did not say the reason, based on his understanding of his wife, Hong Rui must have done something wrong and did not tell him.

It’s just to take into account the face of the old lady and my sister.

"I'll come and talk to my mother about this in two days."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li immediately laughed: "Listen to me, if I tell you, my mother will definitely not disagree."

Yan Zhigao put down the book: "Okay, go to bed quickly. I stayed up until dawn last night and I was already sleepy."

Looking at the person next to the pillow, Mrs. Li had a smile on her face. Now the master knows how to understand her.

......

Early the next morning, Daohua ate bird's nest porridge in her courtyard, first went to Songhe Courtyard to greet the old lady, and then went to the main courtyard to say goodbye to Mrs. Li Yan Zhigao, and then took the maid and mother-in-law with her.

Out the door.

When the Yan family came down to the old lady's place to have breakfast, Daohua had already left the city gate and headed straight to the pier.

The second day of the Lunar New Year was supposed to be the day when the daughter-in-law returned to her natal family, but Mrs. Li, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wu's natal families were all far away. After breakfast, everyone gathered around the old lady and went to the water pavilion in front of the Chuihua Gate.

Mrs. Li invited a theater troupe early in the morning to have a singing session at Yan's house today.

Yan Zhigao led Yan Zhiyuan, and Yan Zhiqiang and the younger members of the family walked in front.

"I have invited a few colleagues over, and you will all meet them later. They are all Jinshi scholars and are very knowledgeable. If you have any questions, you can ask them for advice."

Yan Zhigao said to Yan Wenxiu.

Yan Wenxiu nodded: "My son understands."

Seeing that the family has many descendants, the eldest son is outstanding, and the second son and nephew are now officials, Yan Zhigao feels very happy. The Yan family has started to rise from him.

Yan Zhigao was happy until he reached the waterside pavilion. However, on the way, he saw Hong Rui and Wen Kaila arguing with each other, and Wen Kai still looked impatient, and his mood became a little bad.<

Yan Zhigao slowed down, preparing to say something to them when they got closer, but when they got closer, he heard that Hong Rui was actually asking Wen Kai about his eldest daughter, and his face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Thinking of how angry my wife was last night, it suddenly became clear.

This boy is so bold, he dares to spy on his daughter!

"Hongrui!"

When Yang Hongrui heard Yan Zhigao calling him, he immediately ran forward: "Uncle, are you looking for me?"

Yan Zhigao looked calm: "After the Lantern Festival, you can go to Wangyue Academy to report."

Hearing this, Yang Hongrui's expression changed. Before he could say anything, Yan Siyu, who was walking with the old lady, asked: "Brother, why? Didn't you say that Hongrui should study with Wen Xiu and Master Xiao?"

Time?"

Yan Zhigao said calmly: "I didn't think carefully before. Master Xiao is busy with official duties and can't take care of so many people. It's the same with studying in the academy."

How can it be the same?!

Yan Siyu looked anxious. In the academy, he could only learn some knowledge from books, but it was different with Master Xiao. He was learning how to handle government affairs and how to deal with officials. This opportunity is rarer than studying in the academy.

Much more.

Seeing that her eldest brother looked like he had decided not to change, Yan Siyu had no choice but to look at her mother for help.

Mrs. Yan glanced at her son, then at her eldest daughter-in-law, who was silent, and patted Yan Siyu's hand: "Just listen to your elder brother. He knows more about things outside than we do." With that,

He smiled and changed the subject.

Seeing this, Yan Siyu knew that things were going nowhere. She glanced at her dejected son next to her and frowned.

How could a good brother suddenly change his mind?

While waiting for the play to start, Yan Siyu pulled Yang Hongrui aside and asked, "Did you do something to annoy your uncle?"

Yang Hongrui looked confused: "No!"

Yan Siyu sighed: "You should be more careful in your behavior in the future. Don't bring some of the Yang family's ways to the Yan family. Your uncle won't like it."

Yang Hongrui was silent, thinking about what happened last night. Could it be that cousin Yiyi had complained to her uncle?
