Eldest daughter

Chapter 446 One Hundred Days of Provocation
The fifth year of Jingsheng seems to have had a lot of rain. It hasn’t stopped since the beginning of spring until April. The farmers in this kind of land are full of sorrow. When they see the temple, they go to worship and ask God to bless them. It's raining, otherwise this spring's crops will be soaked in water, and they will definitely have no harvest.

In natural disasters, most of the people who suffer are poor people. Those who live in Beijing, especially those high-ranking officials and nobles, don't have such worries. It's a new play, and which one's jewelry and clothes are more fancy.

On April [-]th, the rain was dripping, but the Cui family in Chaoyang Hutong was decorated with lights and festoons everywhere, wearing red and hanging green. Today is a good day for the eldest son of Cui Yuan, the newly appointed servant of the Ministry of Industry, to do a hundred days. There are so many guests, and there is a lot of traffic, that even rainy days can't stop the excitement.

Naturally, most of the guests here are not running for Cui Yuan's son. The so-called drunkards don't mean to drink. Everyone is running for the court upstart. No, they are probably not considered court upstarts, but the emperor's close ministers. I went - the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who is only 23 or [-] years old, is a very hot person!
Since it is a good day for the eldest grandson of the fourth generation of the Cui family, and the old man personally asks questions, this must be done in a decent manner, so the servants of the Cui family are running back and forth without any fuss about the rules, and they are doing everything properly. Properly.

Wang Yuan'er is the protagonist's mother, and Mrs. Cheng has a big belly and is inconvenient to work, so she has to play to help Mrs. Cui with this matter.

Mrs. Cui originally felt that she was in a panic about organizing the Hundred Days for Brother Chu. If the old man hadn't spoken in person, she would have simply given up on the pick, so it was not polite to ask Wang Yuaner to do so.

Not only had to listen to the affairs of the mothers in charge, but also greeted the guests who came here, Wang Yuan'er was so busy that she wished to divide it into two people.

After finally taking a breath, Wang Yuan'er was called by her stepmother to say a few words.

"The Cui family still knows how to support people. Look at this girl, her face is rounder than when she was a girl. She's pretty. My wife, you are the one who loves your wife. I can rest assured now." Mrs. Song Pulling Wang Yuan'er, he said to Mrs. Cui with a smile.

Mrs. Cui smiled: "This is her own blessing, and I have nothing to teach her."

"You can't say that. If the person you marry is not going well, how can you have such a water spirit? The Cui family is a treasure land that can support people, that is inevitable. But you are right, I really have What a blessing, she is the eldest daughter in the family, and she has to take care of her younger siblings, so she dragged herself into an old girl before getting married. I was really worried. I didn't expect this girl to fight her own way, and she got pregnant after only three months of marrying into your family. And gave birth to a son in one fell swoop. My wife, I can do you right now." Mrs. Song smiled.

"No, it's good luck to be pregnant within three months of marriage." A lady echoed with a smile.

As soon as he said this, some people started to compliment Wang Yuaner one after another. This is Mrs. Minister, it's always good to flatter.

Mrs. Cui was so angry that she couldn't keep the smile on her face anymore. She took a sip of tea from her teacup, then suppressed the fire, and said, "Our second grandma is indeed from our Cui family. The hero."

Mrs. Song didn't seem to notice her flashing gloom and anger, but said to Wang Yuan'er: "You are blessed, your husband loves you, and your mother-in-law loves you too, so cherish your blessings and be more filial to your mother-in-law every day. It is."

Wang Yuan'er bent his knees and said with a smile: "What Ganniang said is, if my wife doesn't find me annoying, I will definitely serve her every day."

"Our family is not one of those humble households. We have our own servants to serve. You just need to give Brother Yuan a few more children, and it is right to spread the branches and leaves for our Cui family." Mrs. Cui said with a light smile.

Wang Yuan'er blushed slightly, and said in a loud voice: "The daughter-in-law closely follows the teachings of the wife."

Seeing her blushing and shyness, everyone smiled knowingly.

There are also people who can't get used to it and are jealous, like He Xiuxian, the third young lady of Changbohou's Mansion.

"Second Mistress and Mrs. Song are really affectionate. If you don't know this, you will think you are the real mother and daughter. I feel sour when I see it. I don't know that Old Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang are the real grandmothers and aunts. Is it sour or not?" He Xiuxian looked at Mrs. Wang and the others who sat in a corner like an invisible person with a full smile, and deliberately bit down on the word direct relative.

Where have Mrs. Wang and the others seen such a scene? Here are all the wives of high-ranking officials, all of whom are heavenly figures. They looked over neatly.

Wang Pozi and the others felt their faces were hot, and they looked at Wang Yuan'er in a state of bewilderment.

Everyone knows what Wang Yuaner's background is. He Xiuxian's words are not saying that Wang Yuaner kissed his adoptive mother and his own grandmother!
Seeing Wang Yuaner's embarrassment, Mrs. Cui immediately felt relieved, and slowly took a cup of tea and drank it, pretending not to see it.

Mrs. Song's face was gloomy, she gave He Xiuxian a faint look, and was about to speak when Wang Yuan'er spoke.

"Grandma Zhang San also rented my house when she was in Changle Town before, and she knew that my biological mother had died young. God is sorry, how lucky I am to have a relationship with my godmother and achieve a motherhood. Daughter love. Since God has treated me so favorably, how dare I not be grateful, my godmother treats me like my own life, and I must also treat my godmother as my own mother, so that I will not let down the fate of our mother and daughter." Wang Yuaner's eyes Han looked at Mrs. Song gratefully.

Mrs. Song was greatly moved, her eyes were slightly wet, she took her hand and said: "Good girl, you are right, our mother and daughter are fates given by God, we should cherish them."

"I lost my biological mother when I was young. Why don't I long for my mother's love and protection? With the love of my godmother, how can I not be respectful and filial? Grandma Zhang San also lost her mother a long time ago, so she should understand my feelings." Yes." Wang Yuan'er looked at He Xiuxian with a smile: "I heard that Mrs. Chang Bohou also treats you like her own daughter, don't you feel grateful and kind?"

They are all the same people, you lost your mother, and I lost it, no one is better than the other, so why rush up and bite me like a dog?
He Xiuxian's face turned green from what she said, and she subconsciously looked at Mrs. Chang Bohou next to her. Seeing that her face was a little gloomy, she couldn't help but thumped in her heart, and smiled reluctantly: "Second Grandma is serious, I naturally treat my mother as if Mother's."

Only then did Wang Yuaner laugh.

Mrs. Cui's face darkened.

Mrs. Song San clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Look at my sister who is so emotional, I'm going to lose my golden beans. Mom, you and your sister are so sensational, you should respect the mother-daughter relationship and drink together." A glass."

"Okay, let's serve wine, we mother and daughter will drink together." Second Mrs. Song said boldly.

Some people followed the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's laughter and started arguing, which seemed to divert the topic just now.

Wang Yuan'er breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at He Xiuxian's slightly pale face, her eyes were slightly cold, so don't look away.
Just laughing and making noise, suddenly another woman came into the flower hall to answer.

There is something in the palace to reward!
It is still Eunuch Hu who came to present the rewards. It is self-evident who rewarded this pile of things.

The emperor had rewards, so the empress naturally had to reward them. The empress rewarded, and the concubines below all brought up some rewards, and the empress Qing, that is, Wang Qinger also rewarded among the pile of things.

It's just that the eldest son of a courtier has been rewarded and honored for a hundred days. Isn't this not the holy family?

The people who came to the banquet naturally flattered Cui Yuan and his wife even more, and the compliments slipped out as if they didn't want money.

After this incident, the censor, who was so idle, read the book of the new minister, saying that he was extravagant, borrowed his son to make money, and gathered hundreds of officials to accept bribes after only a hundred days.

It's a pity, the emperor didn't buy it, he just said lightly, Master Cui was happy to have a son, and I rewarded him, so could it be bribery?Straight to block the censor speechless.

The [-]-day banquet was held very lively, and Chu Ge naturally got a lot of good things, and hung them all up, Wang Yuaner laughed at him as a little rich man.

Eating banquets, listening to operas, seeing off guests, and enjoying a feast.

After seeing off the last group of guests, Wang Yuan'er lay flat on the bed and refused to move. When her son came over, she didn't have the strength to feed him, so she only teased him for a while, and then let the nanny hold him to feed him.

After finally recovering, Wang Yuan'er asked Dong Xue and the others to dig out the gifts that Qing'er had rewarded.

There are many things, such as the four treasures of the study, the unicorn jade pendant, the golden lock of longevity, and an exquisite mahogany tablet with auspicious clouds and unicorns engraved on it.

Wang Yuan'er took a closer look, and it was always this mahogany plaque that caught her heart the most, because mahogany was supposed to ward off evil spirits, this piece of mahogany was exquisitely made, the wood was fine and delicate, and the wood body was fragrant. .

Cui Yuan entered the room smelling of alcohol, Wang Yuan'er rushed to meet him, and ordered the maid to bring up the sober soup, and while helping him undress, she asked, "All the people in the front yard are gone?"

Cui Yuan hummed and said a few words, and the two of them turned to today's reward from the emperor.

"The emperor also said that he wanted to see Brother Chu, and now there are rewards and word of mouth, let's take Brother Chu into the palace to thank you tomorrow, and you can also see the third sister-in-law."

Wang Yuan'er was overjoyed, nodded hastily, thought about it and told about He Xiuxian's provocation in the flower hall today, while looking at his face.

Cui Yuan pursed his lips, frowned, and finally said after a while: "She is already married and a mother, if you can't get along with her, you should have less contact with her in the future."

Wang Yuan'er breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Since you called Master He Master back then, she is also like your sister, we are like relatives, just walk around on holidays, and it's all about your friendship with Master He."

Cui Yuan nodded, and the husband and wife talked about other things, and after a tiring day, they stopped to mention each other after tidying up.
