Eldest daughter

Chapter 403 Dowry Wishes
After sending off the godmother, the weather gradually cooled down, and all the autumn and winter clothes were taken out of the cage.

The date of the wedding was fixed, and Nanny Zhong and Nanny Lu, left behind by her godmother, helped with some chores, so Wang Yuaner had a lot of time to embroider the dowry, or write and read accounts.

As for her own dowry list, she also went through it again and again, thinking that she was not a girl from a wealthy family, and the dowry was only 48 liters, which was already very respectable in this town.

Chun'er, on the other hand, strongly disagreed. She took the list and looked at it again and again, her forehead wrinkled into a Sichuan character.

Wang Yuan'er couldn't help laughing, and said: "You look so sad, when my nephew is born, I'm afraid you will become a little wrinkled old man, so don't frown."

"Sister, this dowry list is too thin, should I add another Zhuangzi or two shops? If the money is not enough, I have some money here." Wang Chun'er suggested.

"You are generous, but my dowry is still thin? Compared with yours, it is more than doubled!" Wang Yuan'er said angrily.

"That is far from enough. Eldest sister, you are married to the Cui family. If the dowry is less, the Cui family will not know what face it will be. It is right to accompany you more." Wang Chun'er shook her head, and said: "Elder sister, How about giving you the shop you bought for me!"

Wang Yuan'er felt warm in her heart when she heard this, and said: "Your kindness is appreciated, and it really doesn't matter."

"But……"

"Listen to me, what is my origin, the Cui family don't know? How big is my head and what kind of hat is worn? If I look flashy and make people see a joke, it's almost over. Besides, my marriage is bestowed by the emperor. No matter how dissatisfied the Cui family is, they dare not say anything out of face." Wang Yuan'er patted her hand reassuringly.

"That being said, your dowry is rich, that's the icing on the cake. You can live with the door closed, and the emperor can't come and watch every day. If you show your face, what's the big deal?" Wang Chun'er was very worried.

I heard that the Cui family has a great career, and Mrs. Cui is even more difficult to get along with. If the eldest sister is bullied, what should I do?

Wang Chun'er was full of fear, ordinary people, are there still too many little daughter-in-laws suppressed by mother-in-law?Not to mention everyone here, a word of filial piety can crush people to death!

She herself is not restrained by her mother-in-law, and her husband and son-in-law are also obedient to her, and her life goes smoothly, so she naturally wants her elder sister to be happy and at ease.

Therefore, the dowry is richer, and the eldest sister's waist is straighter, so she won't be looked down upon everywhere.

"Cui Yuan said that after we get married, we will return here to live, and we don't need to look at the faces of our parents-in-law. Don't worry." Wang Yuan'er smiled to comfort her, and then touched her tall belly, saying: " Moreover, you have to live in your own small family. Now you also have two daughters, and you still have one in your stomach. Gradually, the population increases, and the expenses for eating and drinking also increase. I am still thinking about it, and I will make up for you later. What are you ordering! Otherwise, how can you save for the marriage of this daughter-in-law in the future?"

Wang Chun'er was taken aback by her, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, we are rich enough these days. Sister, you can make more for yourself, or leave it to Lan'er and Baolai."

At the beginning, her dowry was heavy, but one after another, the elder sister bought her two shops and land. She was already married, so how could she still ask for subsidies from her natal family.

Seeing her terrified face, Wang Yuan'er knew that this younger sister had always had such a temperament that it would be a sin to ask for more things, so she didn't say much about it. She will live a better life in the future, so she will give it to her children. If the elder did not dare to resign, then she had nothing to say.

Wang Chun'er didn't know her plan. After returning home, Hou Biao saw that she was not happy, so he asked what happened.

Wang Chun'er shared her worries and said, "I was thinking of giving my elder sister the shop that my elder sister subsidized to me as a dowry, but it's fine if she doesn't want it. She also said that I will subsidize some dowry in the future."

After hearing this, Hou Biao pursed his lips, and said, "My aunt has always been a calculating person. If she doesn't want it, she probably has a plan."

"I'm just afraid that she will be underestimated." Wang Chun'er sighed: "Don't look at the elder sister's easy-talking appearance, she is actually very strong. If there is something unpleasant, she will not say it easily. If you really want to be punished by the Cui family If you underestimate it, you probably won’t tell us about it, and keep it to yourself.”

"It's a pity that I only have such a monthly fee." Hou Biao felt a little guilty, thought for a while and said: "How about I ask my aunt to set up a line and do business with Mr. Song?"

Wang Chun'er was so scared that she almost jumped up: "Why do you have such an idea, it won't work!"

"Aren't I nervous looking at the family's money? Now my aunt's dowry will also use your dowry to add to the dowry. I, I feel bad!" Hou Biao said embarrassingly with a blushing face.

Wang Chun'er looked at him dumbly, felt a pain in his heart, walked over and took his hand, and said angrily: "You are also in a hurry, am I just talking about it, there is no shortage of chewing flowers at home, what's the use?" What business do you go out for?"

"Don't be stupid. Now you are doing a good job in this job. The monthly salary is small, but after all, you are doing things for the court of the country. You have become an official and rashly go into business. Isn't this going to be a business?" Wang Chun'er pulled He sat down and said: "Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are at the bottom. It's not that it's bad, but it's the bottom. I heard that many merchants want to get rid of their merchant status."

"We don't think it's a problem now, but in the future, our son will have to take the imperial examination and study. If you enter this merchant status and then transfer back at that time, it will be even more difficult! "

Hou Biao was a little surprised, and said with a smile, "You think it through quite clearly."

Wang Chun'er blushed, gave him an angry look, stroked her stomach and said, "I can't compare to my elder sister who can calculate, and I can't compare to Qing'er's flexible temper. I'm stupid, but I often listen to her teachings, and I know how to do things in a roundabout way." Yes. We are suffering, but we can’t suffer for the child, I still hope to give birth to a son for you, so that in the future, you can earn a life for me and bring glory to our family!"

Hou Biao was elated when he heard this, hugged her in his arms and said, "It's good that you are like this, you are not stupid, I just like your temperament, I don't want anyone else."

"Careful children come in." Wang Chun'er pushed him with a blushing face, and said, "Then don't talk about going into business again."

"I know, if you don't let me go, I won't go." Hou Biao followed her and said, "Since the eldest sister doesn't want your shop, you don't want to mention it, so as not to make her feel unhappy. The eldest sister is married and has many things to do. If you are doing a good job as a female celebrity, help her make more female celebrity dowry."

"That's the only way to go!" Wang Chun'er nodded.

The young couple talked for a while, and Wang Chun'er took the initiative to go to Wang Yuan'er's side the next day and helped her do some female celebrity jobs.

Wang Yuan'er knew that she couldn't be idle, so she made some small and easy things for her.
The dowry list was decided in this way, but what Wang Yuaner did not expect was that Cui Yuan would also have a hand in it.

At the end of October, it was snowing heavily in Changle Town, and Cui Yuan came here bearing the snowflakes.

"It's snowing so much, why don't you wear a coir raincoat." Seeing that his shoulders and hair were covered with snow, Wang Yuan'er quickly welcomed him in, stretched out her hand to pat the snowflakes on his body, and said angrily.

"You sit, I'll do it myself, don't freeze your hands." Cui Yuan pushed her hand away, and stretched out his hand to pat the snow on his body.

Wang Yuan'er had no choice but to move the brazier to his side, and ordered someone to bring hot tea or something.

"Come here." Cui Yuan dried his hands, felt his body warmer, and spontaneously sat on the kang bed by the window and waved to her.

"how?"

Wang Yuan'er sat up, leaned on the pillow and stared at him.

Cui Yuan took out a few pieces of paper and a stack of bank notes from his sleeve, pushed them in front of her, and said, "You keep these and add them to the dowry."

Wang Yuaner was taken aback for a moment, then took it and turned it over, her eyes were as big as copper bells.

"Here, add makeup to me? Where did this come from?"

"This is all my private property, you just keep it."

"Since it's your private property, you can't add it to my dowry. When we get married in the future, it's not too late for you to give it to me." Wang Yuan'er frowned, not understanding his intentions, but felt that these things were very hot.

In this stack of things, the bank notes are all 1000 taels, but there are ten, that is 1 taels, and the other things are two Zhuangzi, a shop, and a small house with three entrances.

Zhuangzi is a farm in Daxing, with a size of [-] mu, and the other is near the suburbs of Beijing, with a size of more than [-] mu.

And the house and shop are both in the capital, and they are also in the east city, where every inch of land is expensive.

These things, Cui Yuan added makeup to her?
"What a silly girl. From now on, mine will be yours, but my things have not passed the discernment. Now that you add makeup to you, it has passed the discernment. Everyone knows and can see it. Timing On the list, no one dares to underestimate you." Cui Yuan laughed, and said: "At that time, a brick represents a field, and a tile represents a house. There is a field and a house, and it looks decent enough."
Wang Yuaner's heart felt hot, her eyes turned red, and she said, "Are you afraid that others will look down on me?"

"Since you married me, I don't want you to be wronged. These things are nothing. Added to your dowry, they will be your body in the future, and your body will not be reserved for my son and daughter. I It's not a loss!" Cui Yuan shrugged his nose.

Wang Yuan'er was both moved and ashamed, and said angrily, "You've got a good plan, now you're counting on me!"

Cui Yuan chuckled, took her hand and kissed her secretly, said: "Anyway, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours, and what's ours belongs to our future sons, there is no division."

Wang Yuan'er rolled his eyes at him, looking at those papers, warmth filled his heart.

There are fields, houses, and shops and Zhuangzi. There are not many, but they are all there, and there is also money at the bottom of the box. Her dowry is decent enough given her background!
And what moved her was that Cui Yuan's kindness is the most rare thing. For a woman, marrying a man, dressing and eating, isn't it just a picture of knowing the cold and the hot, the man is considerate and loves you?

She looked at Cui Yuan with lingering eyes, and suddenly she looked forward to the day of getting married!
