Eldest daughter

Chapter 207
The days are going on in an orderly manner, new crops have been planted, and the growth is excellent, the construction of Shibosi's office is in full swing, and more and more merchants are coming and going in Changle Town.

On Qingming in April, Wang Yuan'er took his siblings to pay respects to their parents' graves. They talked about what happened in the past six months and told Chun'er's engagement at the grave, which made Wang Chun'er blush and shy endlessly.

After the Qingming Festival, the days were spent in the family of the east and the west. Wang Yuaner and the master of the fermented bean curd workshop developed a new variety - Nanru.Compared with ordinary fermented bean curd, this kind of fermented bean curd tastes better in some dishes, but because of the different taste of fermented bean curd that usually goes with meals, the market is mainly in restaurants.

The business in the workshop is orderly, and Wang Yuaner has been paying attention to the movement of the merchant ship. If there is no accident, the merchant ship will be back in June.

Once the merchant ship came back, if the shop was settled, she could open a new shop and develop a new way to make money.

The more Wang Yuan'er thought about it, the more he felt that life was going fast, and he felt happy, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing a good mood.

"Looking at you from a distance, smiling like you picked up gold, what's the good thing?" A joking voice suddenly came from beside you.

Wang Yuaner was taken aback.

"You're used to scaring people." Seeing the person coming, Wang Yuan'er gave a reproachful look, with a coquettishness in her tone that she couldn't even detect.

Cui Yuan raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, pretending to be innocent and said: "I waved to you from afar, but you never saw it, what are you thinking?"

Wang Yuan'er rolled her eyes: "My eyesight is not good."

Cui Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and said, "Are you okay? Walk with me?"

Wang Yuaner was stunned for a moment, then bent his knees: "Follow your lord's orders."

The two walked side by side, no more than one person apart, talking softly while walking, which fell into the eyes of the townspeople, who were very surprised.

"Miss Zheng, isn't that Mrs. Cui from Xinyamen? Why do you look so familiar with the girl from the Wang family?" Mrs. Liu from the tailor shop happened to be shopping at the grocery store, and she was very surprised when she saw the two passing by.

Mrs. Zheng came out to have a look, she was also surprised, but she said with a smile on her face: "It's not like you don't know the temperament of the eldest girl of the Wang family. How many times have she ever blushed with anyone? She can talk to anyone. Yes, very hearty."

"That's true." Mrs. Liu nodded, looking at the backs of the two going away, she suddenly said: "I don't know if Master Cui is married, but looking at it this way, the two are quite a good match."

"This...can't be? This big family has strict rules, how can the Wang family be worthy of it?" Mrs. Zheng said hesitantly.

"I'll just talk about it." Mrs. Liu chuckled.

"Hey, what are the mothers-in-law of the two masters talking about so cheerfully?" Mrs. Xie of Zhou Shunxing's family walked up with the baby on her back, followed their gazes, and frowned: "That's that girl Wang Yuan'er, right? "

"You have sharp eyes, you can see clearly from far away." Mrs. Liu praised with a smile.

"She looks like that, I can recognize her even when it turns into ashes, why don't I recognize her? Oh, who is that next to her? Could she be like her sister again, stepping forward to be a puppet for others and climbing high branches?" Mrs. Xie said bitterly, the man walking beside Wang Yuan'er was well dressed and definitely not an ordinary townsman.

Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Liu looked at each other and said with a smile, "We can't see clearly either. What are you here to buy?"

"Oh, weigh me some mung beans. My daughter has a rash on her face. I need to boil some bean water to get rid of the heat poison. I called her father here, but he disappeared early in the morning. This dead man, I see him It's more and more lazy." Xie shook the swaddle on her back.

Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng looked at it, and sure enough, there were many red rashes on the little girl's face.

"Don't be hooked by some woman, you should watch closely." Mrs. Liu snickered with her mouth covered.

Xie's eyes widened, and he said vehemently: "He dares, my mother will destroy all his descendants."

"Then you have to be a widow." Mrs. Zheng handed over a bag of mung beans, and smiled.

Xie laughed: "He can't even feed me enough, how can he feed others, this man only thinks about wild food outside when he can't get enough to eat at home."

Listen, this is a married woman, I can't say anything, if it were an unmarried girl, I would be ashamed to death.

……

Cui Yuan and Wang Yuan'er moved to the grain drying field, and now the new rice has only been planted and it will take a long time to harvest, so the grain field is still empty, with several pointed straw stacks piled up not far away.

"I heard from my second aunt that the imperial court also sent merchant ships to sea, but is it true?" Wang Yuan'er remembered what her second aunt said, and turned to ask the man beside her.

"Since the government wants to reform the new policy, it is natural to make a difference. The city ship department will be opened, and the imperial court will naturally take the lead. They should send ships to sea." Cui Yuan smiled lightly.

Wang Yuan'er nodded and said, "That's good. It will be smoother if there are sailors to open the way."

"You know a lot." Cui Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Wang Yuan'er blushed, and said, "I've heard it too."

Cui Yuan laughed, and said: "Of course there are sailors to open the way, but the sea is risky after all, and we can only know if the ship can return smoothly. After all, there are weather factors and pirates. "

"There really are pirates?" Wang Yuan'er widened her eyes, feeling a little worried.

"There are many wonders in the world, and now the world is peaceful, but there are always small fights at the border, and there are also robbers and bandits in some deep mountains and valleys, not to mention the rivers and lakes, and the matter of fighting for sects is also Common." Cui Yuan smiled slightly: "So it is not surprising that there are pirates, but compared to pirates, I am more worried about the weather. In the face of natural disasters, human beings seem small and helpless."

Wang Yuan'er pursed her lips when he heard what he said. She didn't know that, although she had never personally experienced the flash flood in Changle Town in her previous life, she could also hear the thrill and fear from the servants.

In this life, will it still be like this?
Wang Yuan'er pinched his fingers secretly and counted. If the time is correct, then there are still four years left before the day of the flash flood, that is, it will happen in Jingping five years?

Thinking of the vast ocean, Wang Yuaner shuddered.

"Is it cold?" Cui Yuan noticed her reaction and couldn't help asking.

Wang Yuan'er shook his head, thought for a while and said, "When you talk about natural disasters, I think of the flash flood in Changle Town a hundred years ago. I was thinking that there will be a day when such a thing happens again. If it happens, we will What should I do?"

Cui Yuan was taken aback for a moment, this is the second time she has seriously mentioned the flash flood, and she clearly showed worry and fear, as if she was sure it would happen!
"The world is unpredictable, do your best, and listen to God's will. Once it comes, you will be safe!" He said after a long time.

Wang Yuan'er looked over, and his face was calm, so he smiled: "That's right, I'm a little unfounded."

"It's good to have a sense of crisis, but you don't have to be tired of it. If you trap yourself, you won't be able to see anything else."

Wang Yuan'er was a little surprised, she pursed her lips and thought about his words carefully, and what she said seemed to make sense, as if she was really trapped by the memories of her previous life.

Cui Yuan walked a few steps, seeing that she didn't follow, he called, "Come here!"

Wang Yuan'er groaned, and the two talked again on the topic of Shibosi.

"Whenever the new policy is implemented, there will always be some officials who oppose it, especially those who are old and stubborn. Take this city secretary as an example. The front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the imperial palace is stained with the blood of two officials." Cui Yuan put his hands behind his back. , Said: "Opening a shipping department, although there are disadvantages in opening up maritime trade, it is imperative. There are many things outside the fan, which are beyond the reach of our country. They are also very proficient in some medical skills."

"Hearing what you said, I really want to take a look." Wang Yuan'er looked forward to it.

Cui Yuan stopped and looked at her with deep meaning in his eyes: "I have a chance to take you there."

Wang Yuan'er was stunned, looking into his eyes, she felt that the inside was like an ancient pool, very deep, as if she wanted to suck people in, she felt suffocated, and her heart beat a little faster.

Her cheeks were hot, she coughed twice, and walked forward quickly.

Cui Yuan smiled and followed.

"I heard that your family is deeply involved with the Tang family?" Cui Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked.

Wang Yuan'er's heart skipped a beat, she seemed a little embarrassed to speak, and said, "My cousin, the daughter of my second uncle's family, became a concubine for the third young master of the Tang family."

Cui Yuan frowned.

"The Tang family also invested in a merchant ship, and my second uncle and aunt also participated in a share. This must be quite involved." Wang Yuan'er said with a wry smile.

Cui Yuan's brows frowned even deeper, just as he was about to speak, his footsteps stopped suddenly.

Wang Yuan'er didn't pay attention, and walked straight forward, still thinking about the evil relationship between the second uncle's family and the Tang family, is that also called evil relationship?

Unexpectedly, Cui Yuan pulled her hand, which made her scream immediately, but before she could scream, Cui Yuan covered her mouth and pulled her to hide behind a straw stack.

What is this for?Wang Yuan'er was stunned by his series of actions, and reached out to break his big hand.

But before she pulled his hand off, some laughing and cursing voices came from her ears.

"I hate you, you look so dead, or you don't come for a few days, and you come to punish me early in the morning when you come, ouch, at least be gentle." A female voice called out coquettishly.

"The woman is watching closely, I miss you every day in my heart, good man, you miss me to death, please give me a massage..." A male voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, there was a rustling sound, mixed with some groans that seemed painful and joyful.

Wang Yuan'er's brain exploded, and her face seemed to be on fire. It was scalding hot, and her purple color was the color of a pig's liver.

In her previous life, she had gone through personnel affairs, and she heard a lot of nasty jokes from women, how could she not understand what was behind them?
She... They broke someone else's good deed!
