Eldest daughter

Chapter 409
On December 21st, Cui Yuan accompanied Wang Yuan'er back to the house. As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Mrs. Cui told them to turn back when they were young.

Over there in Changle Town, they swept the dust early, and Zhang Hong hanged his hands, ready to welcome Wang Yuaner and the others back home.
"Here we come, we come, aunts and grandmas are back." The young man stood guard at the door from afar, and when he saw the carriage, he couldn't help shouting.

Wang Chun'er led his younger siblings out, the carriage came to the house, Cui Yuan jumped off the carriage first, then turned around and helped Wang Yuan'er get off the carriage.

But I saw the woman in a woman's bun wearing a rose red bijar, a [-]-piece Hunan skirt woven with gold and red begonias, wearing a dotted emerald inlaid emerald tassel bu yao, and a row of pink crystal bead flowers inserted, Hidden in the bun, the side is full of brilliance.

"Elder Sister." Wang Chun'er went up to her with a big belly, and the water in her eyes flickered.

Wang Yuan'er was also very excited when she saw her younger siblings. She stepped forward and took her hand, angrily said: "It's such a cold day, and you're pregnant again, why did you come out?"

"It's okay, I'll come to greet you." Wang Chun'er wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Big sister." Wang Lan'er and Baolai rushed forward respectively, hugging her legs from left to right.

"Hey, let's all go in." Wang Yuan'er smiled and wiped the corners of her eyes.

The luggage and the return ceremony were carried by the servants. Wang Yuan'er and Cui Yuan helped each other into the house. Old man Wang and the others had already been waiting in the main hall.

The servants placed futons in front of the hall, Wang Yuaner and Cui Yuan offered tea to the old man respectively, sat and talked for a while, then Cui Yuan, Hou Biao and Wang Er went to the study to talk.

Wang Yuan'er called Qiu Yun to serve her, while she herself sat in the main hall and talked with Mrs. Wang, Chun'er and Mrs. Zhang.

"Your grandfather's family has returned to Shilong Town since the day after you got married. If you have time, go and kowtow to them." Mrs. Wang said with a smile.

Wang Yuaner nodded with a smile.

"Sister, how does the Cui family treat you? Are your parents-in-law making things difficult for you?" Wang Chun'er asked nervously.

Wang Yuan'er smiled and said, "It's all pretty good, but there are too many people, and I can't recognize many of them."
"Really?" Wang Chun'er breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, second aunt, look at the pink face of the eldest aunt, and you can tell that what she said is true. The Cui family is a nest of wealth and wealth. Once you enter, you can only enjoy the blessings. How can you suffer any grievances?" Mrs. Zhang giggled. , but the sourness in the tone is hard to hide.

Wang Yuan'er smiled lightly, took a sip of tea from the tea bowl.

"Yuan... Auntie, grandma, I heard that these rich families all use shark's fin and bird's nest to rinse their mouths, even the sputum pots are made of gold. Is there such a thing? Tsk tsk, really Once I have seen it, I am really willing to die." Zhang said again.

"What day is it, what are you talking about? Can you speak?" Mrs. Wang's face was a little displeased.

Mrs. Zhang is embarrassed.

"Second aunt, the heritage of this aristocratic family is a reputation that has only been passed down for a hundred years, and it can't be demonstrated with this gold and silver." Wang Yuan'er smiled faintly.

Mrs. Zhang heheed twice, rubbed her nose and said, "Your second aunt has never been to the capital in her whole life, and she has no experience. Naturally, she doesn't know. How can you be so lucky as your aunt."

"Second Aunt is also very lucky. Next month, Fuquan will marry you a daughter-in-law. Just wait and enjoy the blessing." Wang Yuan'er stabbed back without pain.

Mrs. Zhang snorted, and said: "What kind of blessing is there? You are born in a small family, and there are only two dowries. It can't compare with Yuan'er when you got married. You probably don't know the real ten-mile red makeup. , now our town has been talking about your dowry for a few days, this dignity is the first."

Wang Yuan'er pursed her lips and smiled.

Her original intention was 48 sets of dowries, but what she never thought was that Zhao Dali and Zhuo Fan rushed to send back a carload of dowry before they got married, and they both put together four dowries, and They are all antique utensils, which are of great value.
And her godmother was also generous. The makeup she added was actually a hundred-acre village in the south of the Yangtze River, and she also gave 500 taels of silver to press the bottom of the box.

The land in the south of the Yangtze River is no bigger than the land in the north. There is less land there. One mu of land is equivalent to several mu here. Needless to say, it is precious.

Therefore, Wang Yuaner's dowry can also be called very generous, even the young ladies in the general family may not have such a dowry as hers.

A woman is decent when she marries with a rich dowry, and if she marries to a good family, her husband and wife are also decent, and in the future, the son who will be born is outstanding, and the daughter who has both virtue and appearance will be honorable, and her life will be perfect.
"I've been to Dali in two days. If your brother's dowry is half as much as yours, it's decent enough." Mrs. Zhang glanced at Wang Yuan'er again and said.

The meaning of these words is to let Wang Yuaner make up for it, right?

Mrs. Wang's face darkened.

Even Wang Chun'er, who was slow in counting, could hear the meaning, and couldn't help looking at the second aunt in amazement.

The corner of Wang Yuan'er's mouth twitched slightly, and said: "Second Aunt, our family is not a wealthy family, and the dowry, as long as it is one level higher than the bride's family, it is decent enough. If there are too many, the bride's family will have to return it." It is not beautiful to add a dowry to make up for it."

Zhang's smile froze.

"Second Aunt, is that what you're talking about?" Wang Yuan'er looked over indifferently.Mrs. Zhang heheed twice: "This should be the reason." But in his heart he was slandering, he was really stingy, he was obviously married to a wealthy family, and he would not even be willing to subsidize a decent dowry for his younger brother.

"Elder Sister, you will stay for two days on your return trip, right?" Wang Chun'er changed the topic.

"Xiao Nian is going back, it's not good to spend Xiao Nian at her mother's house." Wang Yuan'er said helplessly.

Although she is married, she is far less comfortable in her mother's house. Other people's houses are very good, and her mother's house is the best.
"That's true, don't let your in-law's have anything to say." Mrs. Wang also said nervously.

"When Fuquan got married, the aunt and grandma would also come to have a banquet, right?" Mrs. Zhang asked hurriedly, and added: "Min'er will come back too."
"If there is no accident, it will come." Wang Yuan'er replied with a smile.

Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that, in their Wang family, Wang Qing'er is the most respectable person, followed by Wang Yuan'er. If Wang Yuaner brings her husband and son-in-law to the banquet, the whole wedding will be much more exciting.
Regarding Zhang's thoughts, Wang Yuan'er knew in her heart, and she would not challenge them.

After talking for a while, Wang Yuan'er and Chun'er went back to their former boudoir to talk about themselves.

Hearing that Cui Yuan was very considerate to his eldest sister, and seeing her pink cheeks, her brows were full of spring, she was a little more charming than when she was a girl, knowing what she said was true, Wang Chun'er breathed a sigh of relief .

"Then eldest sister, you should hurry up and conceive a child. It is best to give birth to the eldest son in one birth, and that will be Amitabha." Wang Chun'er clasped her hands together.

Wang Yuan'er chuckled, blushing and said, "You are still a daughter of your husband, why would you let me be your son?"

Wang Chun'er said solemnly: "Our family is small, and I don't have a decent mother-in-law on my head, so I don't have that pressure, but you are different, big sister, it's mostly staring, naturally it's Mr. Son , we need to give birth to a few more."

Wang Yuan'er said angrily, "I'm not a sow."

Wang Chun'er giggled, and whispered to her again.

This time, the whole family was eating, and there were no screens, so two tables were set up in the dining room, one table for men and one table for women, and they had a lively meal.

In the evening, Cui Yuan hugged Wang Yuan'er and said, "It's better for you to be at your mother's house. We'll come back after the Chinese New Year."

Wang Yuaner nodded.

The next day, Wang Yuan'er and Cui Yuan simply took their younger siblings to Fragrant Hills to enjoy the fragrance of snow, which was rare at her mother's house.

On the 23rd year of the new year, every family is ready to welcome the new year, but Wang Yuan'er and Cui Yuan set off early to return to Cui's house.

Mrs. Cui and her grandma Cheng are still in charge of the Cui family's Zhongfu. When Wang Yuan'er returned to her small courtyard, Nanny Zhong had already led people to remove the dust. Seeing them coming back, they all saluted.

Wang Yuan'er tidied things up a bit, and went to the main courtyard first to pay his respects according to the etiquette.
Mrs. Cui was instructing the stewards to take charge of the affairs, but she didn't see her for a while, so Wang Yuaner had to stand outside and wait.

It was noon when they came back, and the weather was extremely cold, especially in Shangjing, where it was freezing cold.

At this time, the north wind was bitter and whistling, making people's faces ache.

Wang Yuan'er waited for half an hour before seeing the stewards come out. Seeing her standing in the courtyard, she was taken aback for a moment and stepped forward to salute.

The corner of Wang Yuan'er's mouth curled up slightly: "Today's young year, you have worked hard to manage things."

Everyone said it was not bitter.

A girl raised the curtain and beckoned Wang Yuan'er to go in.

"I heard that the second grandma came from a small family, but her words and deeds don't quite match her."

"Don't tell me, although the second grandma is a small family, she has a lot of backgrounds."

"That's right, I heard that she is the goddaughter of the second wife of the Jiangnan Song family, and she is also on good terms with General Na Zhuo. Mr. Qian, who is seated by General Na Zhuo, even calls her sister."

"As far as I'm concerned, it's not as good as the one over there. Second Mistress's sister is the emperor's concubine." Someone pointed to the palace.

Everyone exchanged glances, and they all chattered in their hearts. I'm afraid this second grandmother can't tolerate Xiao Miao, and she can't be taken lightly in the future, especially now that the second master is still a celebrity in front of the emperor.

Wang Yuan'er didn't know that she changed her image after walking around in front of the servants of Cui's family. She only knew that after this day, when the servants of the family saw her again, they seemed to be less scrutinizing and more respectful.

When Wang Yuan'er entered the main courtyard, Mrs. Cui was teaching Mrs. Cheng how to take care of the middle school. Seeing her coming, she shut up.

"came back."

The voice was cold and indifferent, unable to detect any emotion, Wang Yuan'er smiled and stepped forward to salute.

Mrs. Cui didn't want to see her either, so she let her go down.

However, when Wang Yuan'er was about to leave, Cheng said: "Mother, I am also new to Zhongfu. There are many people who come and go during the Chinese New Year. If the second sibling can help me, then I will be really grateful."

Wang Yuaner was stunned for a moment, and looked at Cheng, not understanding what she meant by doing this, asking him to help her with the matter of giving back?
Touched by Cheng's kindness, Wang Yuan'er smiled slightly. She would accept the kindness from others, but if it was watery, then forgive her for being powerless.
