Eldest daughter

Chapter 443

Cui Yuan was suddenly promoted to the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry, which surprised all the officials in the court.

As early as after the former minister of the Ministry of Industry was dismissed by the emperor due to dereliction of duty, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry was recuperating at home due to illness, all forces were secretly wrestling for this position, but unexpectedly, the emperor took this position I gave it to Cui Yuan, taking advantage of the fact that there are floods everywhere.

And speaking of Zhang Qingran, the current minister of the Ministry of Industry, he is also unlucky. He has only taken over the position from Chen Cheng, the husband of the former Yunyang princess, and it has been less than three years since he was too sick to get out of bed. When he stretched his feet, he went.

But let’s not talk about it, let’s talk about the hot fried dumpling that Cui Yuan picked up coldly. Some smart people think that the emperor is going to catch everyone by surprise, and let them know that he is the most noble in the world. He has the right to place someone in the position of an important minister. This can be regarded as a side warning: He is not dead yet, and you can't wait to install people. What do you want?

There are also some people watching the fire from the other side. If it were in the past, it would probably be unfair. After all, Cui Yuan is too young, but he has already obtained an official rank under the fourth rank. Everyone will only think that this is taking the emperor's side, because he followed the emperor at the beginning. When the emperor comes in and out, he is regarded as the minister of the humerus.

But in this way, it is a bit contradictory. Knowing that he is a minister of consolidation, but also feeling very upset, so awkward, he simply shifted his attention to the current flood.

This Cui Yuan became the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and now the minister of the Ministry of Industry is sick in bed, so the water conservancy project will naturally fall on his head. If it is cured, it will be a great achievement. If it can't be cured, Then you can only ask for luck!
Therefore, some people pay superficial compliments but are indifferent to them, and there are also some people who have nothing to do with themselves.

Cui Yuan didn't have the time to play sloppy and socialize with people, he had a lot of things to do, as he said to Wang Yuan'er, he had to hand over the new officials of the Municipal Shipbuilding Department, and he also had to familiarize himself with the environmental improvement in the Ministry of Industry and the next water conservancy Engineering, I can't wait for one person to be divided into two people to do it.

No, this colleague wants to congratulate him, invite him to drink, etc., he should not do it at all, and he will reply in a few days. His eldest son will be a hundred days, and he will invite him to drink at that time, so there is no need to split it up several times .

Some people slandered, this Lord Cui is too cunning, he took advantage of this opportunity to collect money, since it is a hundred days, he must go with a gift.

Some people also said that Mr. Cui is tactful, with such a name, he doesn't pay attention to any gifts, and he can test out the depth of each family.

So, for a moment, those who got the news felt a little bit nervous, I'm afraid that Mr. Cui is a petite person, so he has to deal with it carefully.

Because of Cui Yuan's promotion, Wang Yuan'er's side is no exception. There are quite a few wives who have sent her posts to visit her. He only sent Chu Ge Bai Ri's post to several companies according to his intention.

But in this pile of invitations, Wang Yuan'er still met a few people, such as the two acquainted wives whom her adoptive mother brought her to know, and one, the third young mistress of Changbohou Mansion——He Xiuxian.

He Xiuxian was the same as she was before, she might have become a mother, but she was a little plump, but there was a faint melancholy in her eyes, when she saw Wang Yuan'er, her eyes were complicated and her meaning was unclear.

Wang Yuan'er understood that gaze, and pretended not to see it, just smiled and got together and chatted about homework.

"I heard from Jinzhi that you also gave birth to a sister, why didn't you bring it?" Wang Yuan'er asked with a smile.

"The weather is not good. She caught the wind and cold a while ago, and now she is better. I don't dare to let her come. When she gets better, I will come to Aunt Wang...greetings to you." He Xiuxian changed with a faint smile. Opening his mouth, the hands shrunk into his sleeves were slightly clenched.

Holding the teacup, Wang Yuan'er's eyes flashed, and said: "That's kind, I would like to treat you like a younger sister. Your sister is his niece, and naturally she is also my niece. I always want to see her."

This was to remind He Xiuxian and the others of their identities.

A flash of anger flashed quickly in He Xiuxian's eyes, but she quickly covered it up, saying: "Yes, Brother Cui used to like to come to our house the most. Every time he brought me the cloud cake that I like to eat, my father always said that he took me Spoiled..."

She seemed to want to provoke Wang Yuan'er on purpose, she talked about the past, and as she talked, she fell into the memories of the past.

Wang Yuan'er listened with a smile, looking unmoved in the slightest.

"If daddy is here, I'm afraid he will promise me to Brother Cui." He Xiuxian said something sad, and then she said in a panic: "I'm just saying this casually, Miss Wang. Don't take it to heart."

Wang Yuan'er was originally smiling, but when she heard Miss Wang being called, she put the teacup lid on the teacup with a click.

"Everyone has feelings, which is understandable, but sister, you can just talk about it with me, but don't let Mr. Zhang hear it, or you will be jealous. Men, their hearts are just so big." Wang Yuan'er said lightly, and then said: "Also, I'm already married, sister, it's wrong for you to call me a girl again, if you don't mind, just call me sister-in-law, if you don't want to, call me Second Grandma Cui It's right. Otherwise, if someone hears it, I'll catch you for slipping the tongue!"

He Xiuxian originally just wanted to provoke her, but she turned her back, her face turned red and white, and her fingers twisted the handkerchief into a pickle shape.

Wang Yuan'er pretended not to notice, and just slowly used the lid of the teacup to froth the tea again.

He Xiuxian was furious, suppressing her jealousy and anger, she said, "It's my sister-in-law's fault, it's my sister's fault."

Wang Yuan'er chuckled: "Look at you, you're serious!"

He Xiuxian forced the corners of her mouth to curl up.

Dong Xue walked in and said that brother Chu had woken up and was begging for a mother.

When He Xiuxian came, Brother Chu had just fallen asleep and didn't wake him up, so he didn't see him either.

Now, when he saw a fair woman coming in with a quilt, he looked over.

Brother Chu was indeed crying, but as soon as he got into Wang Yuan'er's arms, he calmed down, sobbing and choking, not to mention how pitiful he was.

He Xiuxian came over and took a look, the child who looked like Cui Yuan had excellent and beautiful facial features.

If, if she married Brother Cui, the child she would have would probably be more beautiful than this child, right?
He Xiuxian thought for a while, feeling a little lost in thought.

"This is your Aunt He." Wang Yuaner shook his son's little hand and pointed at He Xiuxian.

Chu Ge's eyes looked over, they were black and bright, He Xiuxian's heart melted instantly, and she said, "I, can I hug him?"

Wang Yuan'er smiled and handed over his son, and He Xiuxian hugged her, as if she were treating some kind of treasure, her eyes were very gentle.

Wang Yuan'er couldn't help sighing inwardly after seeing it, and felt slightly uncomfortable.

Whoever it is, the other party will be a little unhappy when he misses his husband, right?
He Xiuxian hugged her for a while, and when she saw Chu Ge slapped her mouth, she hurriedly coaxed her, but unfortunately Chu Ge didn't sell her account, so she started crying and had to give it back to Wang Yuaner.

Seeing Wang Yuan'er taking the child and coaxing it, and the child gradually stopped crying, He Xiuxian was both envious and jealous.

I have been living in the family for two years, and only gave birth to a girl. No matter how good my mother-in-law is to me, seeing that I have given birth to a girl, isn't she taking a concubine for my husband?As for Wang Yuan'er, she became pregnant only three months after passing through the door, and gave birth to a son who was almost the same as Cui Yuan.

If it's me, if it's...

Then the one who is so happy is yourself!
He Xiuxian felt a pain in her heart, couldn't sit still immediately, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Wang Yuan'er looked at her leaving back, shook her head, and said to her son, "Your father is messing with me, hum!"

Chu Ge babbled and giggled, as if responding to her words.

When Cui Yuan came back, Wang Yuan'er had a good 'calculation' with him again, and in the end, she begged for mercy first.

……

On the fifth day of April, the Cui family opened an ancestral hall to offer sacrifices, and Mrs. Cui personally wrote the first brother's name, Cui Chengze, on the genealogy, as the eldest grandson of the xx generation, to comfort the ancestors.

On the eighth day of April, Wang Yuaner's natal family arrived in Beijing and settled down in Bali Hutong, preparing to attend the [-]-day banquet held by Brother Chu on the tenth day of April.

Wang Yuan'er specifically told Mrs. Cui that she was going, and Mrs. Cui gave her the card in a lukewarm manner, and Mrs. Cheng personally arranged for a carriage to take her to Bali Hutong.

It was raining continuously, and when we arrived at the house in Bali Hutong, there were already people waiting there. Seeing the badge of the Cui family's carriage, we immediately greeted it with a bamboo umbrella.

It was raining heavily, Wang Yuan'er didn't delay at the door, and hurried to the main room of the house.

Since a trustworthy person had been sent to take care of the house earlier, there was no rush. In the main room, Wang Yuan'er saw a group of travel-worn relatives.

Old Wang and his wife, Wang Er and Zhang, Wang Fuduo and Xi'er also came, as well as his grandfather's family. The room was full of people, and the room seemed a little cramped.

After seeing the ceremony one by one, they sat down and talked.

Wang Yuan'er asked about Fuquan and his wife.

"She was greedy and ate some cold food, and the fetus was a little unstable. Besides, the journey was far away, and it was not easy to travel in rainy days, so she was not allowed to come. When she has a baby in the future, there will be opportunities to play." Mrs. Zhang Speaking of Mrs. Xu, this time Mrs. Yu was not able to follow Wang Er, she was not to mention how happy she was.

Look, on important occasions, only the wife of the wife can show up. There is no reason for the concubine to show her face.

The hateful thing is that dead man Wang Er actually listened to that bitch's pillow talk, and wanted to bring her here. Fortunately, there is an old man at home who is a sensible person, so he stopped him, otherwise he would really accept that bitch's love. wished.

Therefore, when Mrs. Zhang talked about Mrs. Xu, she just passed by lightly, without any unhappy expression on her face.

As long as that bitch doesn't dangle in front of her eyes, even on rainy days, she will be in a good mood.

Wang Yuan'er frowned when she heard this, but she quickly let go. Anyway, in a few days, the people in Changle Town would definitely have to relocate temporarily, and then they would go to her natal house to avoid it or go somewhere else.

"Yuan'er, I heard that my uncle has been promoted to a fourth-rank official?" Wang Er rubbed his hands and looked at Wang Yuan'er.

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned to him.
