Eldest daughter

Chapter 410
After the Spring Festival, the stove was sacrificed to sweep the dust, and the stove god was sent to heaven, and the Spring Festival couplets were posted, and it was New Year's Eve in a while.

This is Wang Yuan'er's first Spring Festival after her marriage, and the Cui family is not the humble family she used to see, so she called Nanny Zhong early on to ask how the Cui family has lived this past year and what they need Pay attention to the place.

"Mama also knows that I don't come from a high family background, the customs in the countryside are different from those in Beijing, and I'm a newcomer, if I do too much and make too many mistakes, it's not beautiful to make me laugh, and it's my fault to embarrass the second master." It's a sin, so I hope the nanny will tell me a thing or two, what needs to be paid attention to."

Nanny Zhong has been scrutinizing Wang Yuaner these days. Although she is not of high birth, she is not ignorant of the world. Although she does not cover everything, she has a delicate mind. At least she did not make any mistakes after she married.

Coupled with Cui Yuan's respect for Wang Yuan'er both in the open and in the dark, she didn't dare to make trouble easily. The two parties were examining each other, but they lived in peace.

Now that Wang Yuaner asked her for advice, and even mentioned her background generously, she was a little surprised. Looking closely at Wang Yuaner's face, she was open-minded, not just talking, but felt that she was a bit of a villain.

Her background is well known, and now speaking generously, it is more frank and respectable than those who covertly use others to exaggerate their background.

Nanny Zhong leaned against the younger half of the bed, smiled and complimented: "Second Grandma is joking, these days you are still helping Grandma in charge, the servants in the mansion all see it and praise you for your ability."

Wang Yuan'er picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then said with a light smile, "I don't dare to claim this merit, and I just follow my sister-in-law's instructions to do things. It's a trivial matter, and it's not worth mentioning."

"Yes, yes, the old slave's mouth is broken." Zhong Nanny patted her mouth with a smile, glanced at her, and seeing that she didn't look very annoyed, she said: "Actually, people in Beijing celebrate the New Year. , Come and go, there are only a few things, worshiping ancestors and keeping the year, each family has a New Year's banquet, come to this house today, and which one to go to tomorrow, all of which are still invited to walk around with people you know and get along well with."

Wang Yuaner listened quietly.

"The Cui family is the same. This year, our Cui family will have a banquet on the fifth day of the lunar new year. At that time, we will invite members of the He family class to sing operas, and we will also invite one or two female gentlemen to write books. As for other New Year's greetings, it is impossible for them to be genuine." Every household goes to pay homage. After all, it’s Chinese New Year, and there are so many people. If every household wants to pay New Year’s greetings, how can they have such energy? So every family posts greetings to the concierge, saying happy New Year, and it’s considered New Year’s greetings. "Looking at her listening intently, Grandma Zhong knew that she really wanted to know, so she also spoke in detail.

"This is also a New Year's greeting between colleagues. My relatives, such as the daughter-in-law's natal family, the husband's uncle's family, will come to pay respects..."
Grandma Zhong talked for half an hour about how to celebrate the New Year, how to pay New Year's greetings, and what needs to be paid attention to. Wang Yuan'er heard it in her ears, and knew that it was a change of soup but not of medicine. Just be more cautious.

Seeing Nanny Zhong's hesitation to speak, Wang Yuan'er smiled and said, "What do you want to say, Nanny?"

Nanny Zhong smiled, and said: "In the past, the second master was not married, and he was rarely at home, so naturally no one would come to the door. Now that the second master is married, and he is highly valued by the emperor, I am afraid that this year he will be married." There will be quite a few people posting greetings to you and Second Master, and then Second Mistress will come out to entertain you. Of course, Second Master will order whoever you go with."

Wang Yuan'er was stunned for a moment, apparently she hadn't thought of going up to this level, and said: "If it wasn't for the reminder from the nanny, I really wouldn't have thought of this. I will discuss it with the second master later, and I will have to ask the nanny to help arrange it." .”

Grandma Zhong even said she didn't dare.

Wang Yuan'er laughed and said, "Second Master and I have just got married, so we have to rely on Mammy for advice. You are Second Master's nanny. He respects you and often tells me how you were when you were young. I am also grateful for the matter of taking care of him, and I hope that Mammy will help our little family again."

Mother Zhong's heart warmed slightly, and she said with embarrassment: "Second Mistress is serious, this is what old slaves should do."

Wang Yuan'er chatted with her again, knowing that her little grandson was already five years old and enlightened, and seeing him again, he rewarded her with pen, ink and two knives of paper.

Nanny Zhong thanked her, and when she walked out of Wang Yuaner's room, she looked back and saw the winter sun shining on the glazed tiles, its brilliance fading away.

Thinking of Wang Yuan'er's light and shallow smiling face, giving him a slap or a sweet date from time to time, Nanny Zhong immediately put away her contempt.

Her family background is low, but this second grandmother is not a soft persimmon. On the contrary, she is very clear and exquisite in her heart, and she is by no means a fool.

Well, now the second master respects himself for having nursed him, so he is still decent, put away those thoughts that shouldn't be, and work hard, when the second master has a son in the future, he can still use his old face to help his children and grandchildren. This is the future, and it will be like this for a lifetime.

From then on, Grandma Zhong devoted all her attention to Cui Yuan and Wang Yuan'er, and did not trust Da Qiao. She followed Wang Yuan'er's orders in everything, and when her grandson was eight years old, she begged the second master to be a servant of the young master, and she was completely satisfied. No mention of honor.

……

For the Cui family to celebrate the New Year, just as Nanny Zhong said, they worshiped their ancestors, watched the year, listened to operas and paid New Year's greetings.

On the first day of the new year, because Wang Yuaner's imperial order has not yet been rewarded, she doesn't need to dress up to pay New Year's greetings.

On the second day of junior high school, Mrs. Cui took her uncle and grandma to Yuan's house, her natal family, to pay New Year's greetings, but she didn't bring Wang Yuan'er with her.

In the third day of junior high school, one after another, people sent invitations to Cui Yuan.

Cui Yuan picked out a few greeting cards and asked Wang Yuan'er to hold a banquet and meet with some colleagues.
And Cui Yuan also took Wang Yuan'er to a few good friends' houses. He came and went, and spent the whole Chinese New Year drinking tea at this house and that house. Therefore, Wang Yuan'er officially entered the circle of nobles in Beijing. Everyone We all know that Wang Shi, the daughter-in-law of the second master of the Cui family, is not of high birth, but has a gentle character and a gentle temperament.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, there was a reward to Cui's family, and Wang Yuan'er's edict came down, the fifth grade is pleasant.

Wang Yuan'er accepted the imperial order, and according to custom, she had to enter the palace to thank her, and because she was in the middle of the year, she handed the sign to Beijing.

Unlike the half-year advance palace, she was just a commoner woman in the past, but now she is already the wife of the emperor.

Walking through the palace walls, Wang Yuan'er felt that time had changed, and now, only half a year had passed.

It was also different from the last time, this time when the queen received her, Wang Yuan'er respectfully accompanied the empress and said a few words to the empress, and then heard the palace servants pass that nobleman Qing came to pay her respects.

Qing nobleman.

Wang Yuan'er blinked, looked towards the palace door subconsciously, and sensed that something was wrong, so she quickly sat upright and straightened her body.

There was the soft sound of wearing a pearl hairpin, and Wang Yuan'er stood up, trying not to look over.

"The concubine pays homage to the empress, the empress is blessed and safe."

The crisp voice resounded in the hall, and Wang Yuan'er's eyes blushed unconsciously, and she took a deep breath to hold back her tears.

"Excuse me, you took the opportunity to come." The empress smiled and raised her hand.

"The concubine has copied this heart scripture, and I'm here to offer it up, hoping that the empress will give birth to the dragon son safely." Wang Qing'er explained the reason for her visit with a smile.

"Oh?"

Wang Qing'er turned her head slightly, and the maid behind her brought up the scriptures on the tray.

The empress looked at it, her eyebrows stretched, she praised a few words, and rewarded her with a red coral emerald inlaid treasure step shaker and a pair of suet white jade bracelets.

Wang Qing'er knelt on the ground and thanked her for her kindness.

"What a coincidence that you came. Mrs. Cui came to thank you today, and you met me." The empress smiled and pointed.

Wang Yuan'er hurriedly stepped forward to salute Wang Qing'er, looked up at her sister's face, her eyes were slightly red.

Wang Qing'er couldn't hide her excitement, so she helped her up and said hello.

"I'm tired. Since you are brothers and sisters, let's go to your palace to talk." The empress waved her hand.

The two Wang Yuaner sisters were overjoyed, they hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank them, and went to Gyeongbokgung Palace together.

As soon as she entered her side hall and waved away people, Wang Qing'er knelt down towards Wang Yuan'er, her voice choked up: "Eldest sister."

Wang Yuan'er was sour in her heart, but she knew that the emperor and his ministers were different, and the emperor's concubine could not just kneel to her, otherwise it would be humiliating the royal family, so she helped her up.

Wang Qing'er lived in the palace for more than half a year, so she naturally knew what to do and what not to do, so she stood up and dragged her to sit on the beauty bed to talk.

"How are you doing?"

"Is everyone in the family okay?"

The two sisters asked at the same time, looked at each other and smiled, feeling like going back to the past again.

"The family is well, I just miss you, especially Lan'er and Baolai..." Wang Yuan'er shook her hand, talking about the family affairs in detail.

Wang Qing'er also listened carefully, her eyes were red.

"It's good that I'm here. Now I'm helping the empress copy scriptures, and she has rewarded me with a lot of things. Don't worry about it, eldest sister." Wang Qing'er reported good news but not bad news.

Wang Yuan'er has an exquisite heart, so she naturally knew what she was thinking, so she didn't mention it, and only asked a few words. Now that she has an imperial order, she will also enter the palace in the future, but because Cui Yuan will return to Changle Town to serve, so she will follow. May not come to the palace very often, but there is always a chance.

Knowing her family background, Wang Qing'er knew that her eldest sister was married to a rich family like the Cui family, so she naturally had constraints in every way, and it was more comfortable to go back to Changle Town to live a small life, so although she was a little bit disappointed, she could understand.

Seeing that there was no one around, Wang Yuan'er couldn't help asking Wang Qing'er, "Have you not heard from me for half a year?"

She was referring to Wang Qinger's stomach.

Wang Qing'er's complexion changed slightly, she lowered her head, and said with a wry smile: "Elder sister, you also know that the emperor is exposed to rain and dew, and he is not a person who indulges in indulgence. I only spend a few days in bed in January, and the matter of the child is always It's about fate."

Wang Yuan'er felt uncomfortable, sighed a long time, and comforted: "That's true, you are still young, don't be in a hurry, the key is to protect yourself."

She still didn't say a word, she may not have children, but she will live longer. If she has children, it is far better to have a princess than a prince.

But she won't say these things, after all every woman looks forward to being a mother, and that's considered complete.

__Wenwen is in the final stage of the second half, so some personnel affairs will inevitably be written and explained, and it will not be a fight between palaces and houses, thank you~
