Chapter 227, Pleasing Oneself_1

In the eighteenth year of the Yongxing era, the Yan Family had a very joyful New Year celebration.

Old Madam Yan was happy because the family was doing better and better, and her descendants were becoming more and more promising, even her daughter who had married far away in Beijing was now able to keep in regular correspondence.

Yan Zhigao was pleased that the grain seeds were successfully sown; once summer came and the harvest was high, as long as it alleviated the bandit problem in Fenxi, his promotion after finishing his term as Prefectural Governor would be all but certain.

Madam Li was glad because her eldest son was steadier and more responsible by the day, and in just a couple more years, he'd be able to discuss marriage and take a wife. Her second son was also becoming more diligent, and her daughter was a master at managing finances.

Not only was she good at making money for herself, but her own family and her maternal family also basked in her success.
