Eldest daughter

Chapter 407
Cui Yuan returned to the courtyard, but did not see Wang Yuan'er, after questioning, he found out that she had gone to the main courtyard.

"Second Mistress came back for lunch. After a short rest, she was called to the main courtyard." Wang Yuan'er's companion, Yuan Dazhi's family, looked at Cui Yuan carefully and said.

Cui Yuan frowned when he heard this, pursed his lips, said lightly that he understood, and entered the room.

"What did Second Master say?" Pan Lihong's family went to Yuan Dazhi's and asked.

Both of them are Wang Yuaner's companions, and the daughters of both families are acting as second-class maids on Wang Yuaner's side.

"It's hard to say." Yuan Dazhi's family whispered: "But according to how much the Second Lord values ​​our grandma, he shouldn't just sit on the sidelines."

"I've inquired about it. After this grandma came in, she didn't set any rules. But when she came to our grandma, she... she's really biased." Pan Lihong's family was a little bit aggrieved.

Yuan Dazhi's family hurriedly pulled her aside, and said in a low voice: "You can't say this, it's terrible if people listen to it. After all, grandma is a bride, and we are her companions. If we are caught I'm afraid I'm going to cause trouble for grandma."

"Aren't I only talking on your side?" Pan Lihong's family said in a sarcastic manner.

"Let's be careful first, Grandma Zuo and Zuo will return to the post with the second master, and we should serve as well when the time comes." Yuan Dazhi's family sighed.

Pan Lihong's family nodded.

When Wang Yuan'er returned to his yard from the main room, it was already dark, and when he entered the house, Cui Yuan was wearing casual clothes and was sitting on the kang by the window reading a book.

"When did you come back? I thought Dad was going to talk to you for a long time." Wang Yuan'er let Qiutang and the others take off their cloaks, walked over and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"What about you?" Cui Yuan shook his head, not answering the question.

Wang Yuan'er shook his head, turned his head slightly and ordered: "Go pass the meal."

Qiutang retreated in response.

"Did she make things difficult for you?" Cui Yuan pulled Wang Yuan'er and asked with a frown.

Wang Yuan'er was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized what he meant by these words. She couldn't help shaking her head and said, "What can she do for me?"

"Do you want you to set the rules?" Cui Yuan's tone was faintly angry.

"I didn't stand up for much, just serve my wife to eat." Wang Yuan'er replied lightly.

Cui Yuan's face darkened, he knew that when the sister-in-law passed the door, she was not restrained to set rules.

Seeing this, Wang Yuan'er hurriedly comforted him: "It's not a big deal, which daughter-in-law didn't come here like this? In the future, if I give birth to a son and marry a daughter-in-law, I will have to spend my mother-in-law's money and ask her to set the rules."

Cui Yuan's face turned pale, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked: "You are not such a person."

Wang Yuan'er raised the corners of her mouth and smiled slyly: "It's hard to say, as the saying goes, it's been many years since a daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law, and she finally brought up a son. It's hard to justify not using the mother-in-law's money."

"You." Cui Yuan knew that she didn't want to be angry, and said, "Don't worry, I will tell Dad."

"Don't, you can't say that I'm frivolous when you make a scene with Dad just to set the rules. If this gets out, do I have to be a human again? You're hurting me!" Wang Yuan'er was startled, and hurriedly stopped him, saying: "Didn't you say that we will return to Changle Town to live? Even if we make rules, it won't last long. She doesn't like me, and I'm afraid she doesn't want me to hang around her!"

Cui Yuan sighed softly, and embraced her: "I have wronged you."

Wang Yuan'er leaned on his chest and said, "I am not wronged, I am very happy to be able to marry you."

"I'm taking a rest these days, and I'll stay with you at home."

Wang Yuan'er nodded like a chicken pecking rice when she heard the words, and her eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile.

Seeing this, Cui Yuan became even more determined, even if he was not in Changle Town, he would plan to release her outside, and he would never let her suffer anger in this home.

The servants set out a meal and brought it up, the two of them used it, and then sat on the kang to have tea and talk, when the meal was over, Cui Yuan dragged her upside down again without mentioning it.

For three consecutive days, Wang Yuan'er went to the main courtyard early to greet Mrs. Cui and serve her breakfast.

At lunch on the fourth day, Mr. Cui was also present, and he couldn't help frowning when he saw her standing aside and setting the rules.

"Second brother, go down to eat, you don't need to serve here." Master Cui waved his hand.

Madam Cui frowned, glanced at him, and seeing his face sinking like water, she said, "Go down."

Wang Yuaner bowed his knees and stepped back.

Madam Cui asked, "But what..."

Master Cui put down his chopsticks and said, "Did you let Mrs. Wang set rules in front of you these few days?"

Mrs. Cui froze for a moment, and turned cold: "Why, who is gossiping in front of you, afraid that I will not succeed in abusing his wife? Baba let you tell me?"

It is self-evident who is which.

"Ms. Wang sets rules with you every day, whoever can't see the girls who go in and out, who can tell?" Master Cui frowned.

Mrs. Cui slapped her chopsticks on the table and said, "It's only natural for a daughter-in-law to serve her mother-in-law and set the rules. How come it becomes a heinous crime when it comes to your mouth?"

"Did my mother let you set the rules in front of me? Even Hong's daughter-in-law passed through the house, and she never set the rules with you. If you want Yuan's daughter-in-law to set the rules, how will people think of you when it gets out?" Cui The master said patiently.

Madam Cui choked.

"Don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself. You understand this truth. You didn't make rules for the daughter-in-law of the eldest and the third child. You should treat the daughter-in-law of the second child equally."

Madam Cui was so angry that her chest heaved up and down, and her voice was sharp: "It's just serving me a few meals, is it killing her? You don't know what's going on with the boss? As long as Mrs. Cheng takes good care of him, I'll be Amitabha." .As for the third family member, a concubine who can't get on the stage, submissive all day long, didn't stain my eyes."

"Also, who is Hong'er like this? Now that his daughter-in-law has to serve me for two days, is it because she lost her hair or lost some flesh? Why is this second daughter-in-law serving in front of me?" Madam Cui's eyes turned red.

Master Cui felt soft in his heart, and said: "That can't be due to the population disease. There are so many servants in the family, and they can't serve you?"

"Can it be compared with a daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Cui sneered.

"Then you would rather others say that you abused your daughter-in-law?" Master Cui was a little disappointed, looking at her slightly ferocious cheeks, and said softly: "Also, we two old things will walk in Hong Kong in the future. The one in front of him is mentally incompetent, so let's go, who can he rely on?"

Mrs. Cui was startled when she heard this.

"To fight a tiger, you have to be a brother. To fight a tiger, you have to teach father and son to fight. Let's go ahead. Hong'er relies on his brother to help. Now you have worn away all human affection. What will you do in the future?" Master Cui said.

Madam Cui said after a long time: "Hong'er will have a son, and also an uncle's family."

"Isn't this going too far? Yuan'er is now a celebrity in front of the emperor. As long as he doesn't make mistakes, he will be better in the future. Why don't you go far away?" Master Cui said in a tone of hatred.

Madam Cui was even more jealous: "If it wasn't for saving him back then, such an honor would have belonged to Hong'er, wouldn't Hong'er be worse than him?"

Master Cui sneered: "Have you forgotten how Yuan'er followed the emperor?"

Madam Cui's complexion changed, she gritted her teeth and said, "Are you blaming me?"

"I'm just reminding you that in the future, no matter Hong'er or Hong'er's child, there are still many places to rely on his uncle. You should weigh the pros and cons." Master Cui didn't bother to talk to her, got up and left.

Madam Cui's complexion could be described as colorful, and she was so angry that she smashed the bowl on the table to the ground.

After the master left the main courtyard, the rumor that the wife smashed a bowl naturally reached Wang Yuaner's ears.

She only thought that the two had disagreements, and when she went to set the rules at night, Mrs. Cui said in a weird way that she didn't need to serve her in front of her, so as not to wrong her and make someone unhappy.

"It's my duty as a daughter-in-law to serve my mother-in-law. I'm afraid that my mother-in-law might think I'm an eyesore." Wang Yuan'er lifted up her sleeves with one hand, picked up a piece of white jade tofu with a spoon in the other hand, and delivered it to her bowl, saying: "I heard from the kitchen that this white jade tofu is made with ice spring water. It is very tender and delicious. Madam, please try it."

Mrs. Cui's face turned pale, she took a sip symbolically, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said coldly: "There are servants here, I don't need you to serve them, I heard that your mother left early, so I arrested you for a while." It's a rule of heaven. You won't have to serve me from tomorrow on, if you have the heart, you can come to say hello in the morning and evening, and it's only reasonable to serve your husband well."

Wang Yuan'er raised her eyebrows secretly, bent her knees, lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly: "Wives always listen to wives."

She obviously had a low profile with low eyebrows, but Mrs. Cui felt that it was very intrusive and uncomfortable, so she waved her hand: "Go back to your yard."

"Yes." Wang Yuan'er saluted lightly and withdrew.

Since Mrs. Cui left, she dropped the spoon into the bowl, making a crisp sound with a ding.

"It's not a family. If you don't enter the family, you are just like that bastard. You are obedient on the surface, but you are full of bad words on the inside, and you speak nicely. You only hope that I will die soon." Madam Cui said coldly.

Her confidant, Nanny Zhang, stepped forward, handed her a cup of tea, and persuaded her, "Madam calm down, the master is quite reasonable. The future master and the future young master will still rely on the second master. Besides, you are a mother-in-law." , in front of you, they have to respect you a little bit, otherwise, your unfilial piety will crush them to death. Madam, the power is for the sake of the uncle, so you bear this tone. The so-called out of sight, out of sight , the two of them are not dangling in front of your eyes, it is more comfortable, why do you feel uncomfortable?"

"You're right." Mrs. Cui felt a little frustrated when she heard that, thinking of her son, she frowned and asked, "Is there any movement from the Cheng family?"

Nanny Zhang sighed in her heart, and said: "Grandma is the daughter of a scholarly family, and she is extraordinarily observant. I'm afraid this London gift is also abiding by women's morals. Wait a few days and there will be good news. .”

Mrs. Cui was a little upset when she heard this, she could hear what Nanny Zhang said, she was probably turning a corner and saying that Hong'er is immature and doesn't understand Dun Lun!

She suddenly thought of Wang's pink face, and felt as if she had eaten a fly in her heart, feeling very uncomfortable.
