Eldest daughter

Chapter 461
A good night's sleep.

Wang Yuan'er was woken up by Chu Ge's voice early in the morning, stood up and looked out the window, and saw Chu Ge being hugged by the nanny in the yard, pointing at a bird on the ginkgo tree and giggling.

Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly, and it was another rare sunny day.

Wang Yuan'er's mood also became lighter, and she called someone to wait on her, and after washing up, the nanny came in with Brother Chu in her arms to say hello.

"Second master hasn't come back yet?" Wang Yuan'er asked Qiutang while holding her son.

Qiutang shook her head.

Wang Yuan'er thought for a while, and said: "I'm a little hungry, so I'll have breakfast and come over here, and tell the small kitchen to simmer a pot of chicken porridge and snacks, and wait for the master to come back."

Qiutang responded with a smile.

After a while, the maids filed in, holding all kinds of snacks and meals on the table. The nanny was going to pick up Chu Ge to feed, but Wang Yuan'er stopped him with a smile: "I didn't take care of him a few days ago. I'm afraid this kid will annoy me too, so let me feed him, we mother and son will love each other."

The nanny agreed and waited on her side.

The mother and son had breakfast happily, and Wang Yuan'er played with his son for a while, seeing him yawning, she let the nanny carry her back to sleep.

Wang Yuan'er called Qiutang in again to speak.

She was worried about Cui Yuan before, and fell ill again. She didn't have the heart to take care of these many affairs. It was all due to Qiutang and the others to make up their minds. .

Qiutang held the account book and talked about the current situation in detail: "I'm afraid that Zhuangzi will be worthless this year, but the charcoal that grandma hoarded before made more than 2000 taels of silver, and it can be compared with Zhuangzi's. Payouts are flat."

"There were disasters in various places, and the empresses in the palace took the lead in reducing the quota. All the prefectures donated silver, and our mansion also donated. In addition, we went to Huangjue Temple to add sesame oil and light the ever-burning lamps, and also donated 200 taels of sesame oil... ..."

Wang Yuan'er leaned on the big pillow and listened, asking a few questions from time to time, with a bit of embarrassment on her face, she said: "Thanks to you, everything here is in order."
Qiutang closed the booklet, and said: "There is no rush for these minor tasks. Grandma just watched slowly. There are servants here. Your body is still weak, and you have a double body. Take care of your body carefully." reason."

She looked at Wang Yuan'er's face, then pursed her lips and said with a smile: "After all, people are in good spirits on happy occasions. When the second master came back, grandma's illness seemed to be healed all at once."

Wang Yuan'er said angrily, "You can tell all the good things."

"The servant girl is telling the truth. But as the saying goes, this disease goes away like a thread, and it is inevitable to take care of it carefully." Qiutang laughed.

"If this person's worries are gone, his illness will heal naturally. Only when he heals can I get better." Wang Yuan'er sighed: "If he is not good, even if I guard the golden mountain and silver mountain, there is no such thing as a big family fortune." looking forward to."

During the days of her illness, she was thinking that if he really left like this, she would have no job. No matter what kind of disaster it was or what kind of family wealth it was, she didn't want to care about it, she just wanted to go with him.

"Grandma is talking nonsense again, but you forgot about the young master, isn't he your hope?" Qiutang said angrily.

Wang Yuan'er smiled, looked at Hexi's sunshine outside the window, and sighed: "It will be sunny after all, I just look forward to it, and it will continue to be sunny, don't let it rain again, and the water will recede."

"No, I heard that there are a lot of refugees in these temples, and they are all homeless. When the water recedes, they will return to their hometown as soon as possible, so they can start farming again." Qiutang also frowned. road.

"That's the reason. Natural disasters have always caused the common people to suffer. I don't know what our Changle Town is like now." Wang Yuan'er was a little depressed. Changle Town finally prospered. Now a mountain flood has wiped out that prosperity. washed away.

"No matter what, as long as the weather clears up, it will be fine." Qiutang said with a firm face.

Wang Yuan'er thought so deeply.

"One more thing, grandma, the girl brought back by the second master, the servant sent a red silk to serve her. This girl is very clever, but in just one night, she figured out the girl's background." Qiutang came closer again. road.

"Oh?" Wang Yuan'er raised her eyebrows.

"The girl's surname is Chen, and her name is Jiaoniang. She is from Shanba Village in Tongzhou. She is 17 years old this year. She is an only adopted daughter. Her mother has already left. She and her father depended on each other when they were young. The father and daughter depend on hunting for a living."

"That Shanba Village is a little-known small village, built on the hillside, and very secretive. Last year, when Chen Jiaoniang's father fell off a cliff while hunting, she was left as an orphan. According to Chen Jiaoniang's Niang said that she found Er Ye when she was washing clothes by the river, and he was unconscious at that time, his clothes were torn and his body was injured."

Wang Yuan'er was startled when she heard that, she was only in joy yesterday, but she didn't notice that Cui Yuan was injured.

"This Chen Jiaoniang took the second master back home, and then found a barefoot doctor in the village to help the second master treat his injuries. I heard that the second master had a high fever in those days, and he was always in a coma. Shen Shen didn't wake up, it was only a few days ago that he got better, and then he rushed back."

"Qiuhe took people to look for him, and the mansion also sent people to look for him. Even the emperor sent people to look for him, but they didn't find him? Since they rushed along the river, they should also be found along the river. Yes." Wang Yuaner asked with a frown.

"Grandma doesn't know something. I heard that although Shanba Village is called a village, it is only a dozen or so families. just a tributary."

"If that's the case, then the second master is really lucky." Wang Yuan'er shuddered slightly.

"That's not it. After listening to this, the slave girl is also very happy. Although it took a while to rush from the Grand Canal to that mountain village, but at any rate, she has all the shadows. The second master is a man of great fortune and good fortune." As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings, and the second master will definitely have great blessings in the future." Qiutang said with a smile.

Wang Yuan'er felt relieved when she heard that, and raised her eyebrows and said: "So, this Miss Chen is actually our second master's savior, and also our Cui family's benefactor."

Qiutang looked at her cautiously, and said, "This savior can barely be called."

Wang Yuan'er took the teacup on the high table, took a sip, and said, "An orphan girl, but also a lifesaver, who has no relatives and no reason... I don't know what the second master means."

"Since she is a lifesaver, she naturally holds it high. If she is willing, she can prepare a dowry." Qiutang said disdainfully.

Wang Yuan'er sipped his tea lightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. If he really thought so, it would be the simplest, but he might be thinking far more than that.

"Second master, you definitely can't be that kind of foolish person. Anything that you don't want to repay with your body is just in the drama. It's a debt of kindness, so you don't want to marry her?" Qiutang said cautiously .

"This is what I mean by my master. After I come back, I will carefully ask how it is arranged." Wang Yuan'er smiled slightly.

Qiu Tang laughed and said, "This servant thinks too much."

The master and the servant talked to each other, and a little girl said: "Grandma is here."

Wang Yuan'er hurriedly got down from the couch and went out to greet her.

"Sister-in-law's body is already so heavy, why did you come here on a special trip? It's the same for people who have something to do." Wang Yuan'er greeted Cheng Shifu, and stepped forward to hold her hand.

Mrs. Cheng supported her hand, and said with a smile: "Yesterday I heard that the second younger brother is back. I wanted to come here at first, but I was afraid of disturbing your young couple's reunion, so I came here now. Congratulations to you for keeping the clouds open." .”

Wang Yuan'er thanked with a smile: "Sister-in-law has a heart."

The two entered the room, sat down on the kang couch, drank tea and talked.

"Look, although this complexion is still pale, it looks much better than before. It's really true to the saying that people are happy on happy occasions." Cheng looked at Wang Yuan'er's complexion carefully and said.

Wang Yuan'er lowered her head shyly, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't make fun of me. A while ago, I let my sister-in-law laugh at me by letting my temper go."

Mrs. Cheng patted her hand and said: "What's the matter? Who wouldn't feel bad when something like that happened? Don't say it's you, I feel sad, especially when your elder brother asks the second younger brother When I come back, my heart is like the pain of gouging out my heart, but that is the younger brother of my real relative."

Wang Yuan'er's heart warmed up, and she got up to be blessed, and said, "I'm sorry for you and elder brother."

"Sit down quickly." Cheng said with a smile, "It's all right now, the second brother has returned safely, you are healthy again, and your future luck will be good."

"I accept your good words." Wang Yuan'er pursed her lips and smiled.

Cheng took a sip of tea, looked around, and stopped talking.

When Wang Yuan'er saw her, she asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you want to say?"

"I heard that the second brother brought a girl back, is he his savior?" Cheng asked carefully, looking at her face.

Wang Yuan'er's eyes flashed, and she smiled lightly: "I heard that's the case. I haven't seen this person yet, and he's placed in the west wing room. What's the regulation? It depends on what the second master wants."

"That's the reason. For a family like us, we keep it in our hearts when we accept love. Since the girl is the second brother's savior, she must have been by her side when the second brother disappeared. The division is not light." Cheng came closer and said, "Don't blame the sister-in-law for being troublesome, the second brother has always been very affectionate, since this girl is brought back, if the second brother... is just an orphan, in case I won't go beyond you, you can't lose your relationship with your second brother just because of this."

Hearing this, Wang Yuan'er felt a little uncomfortable, and her smile faded, and she said, "Look at what my sister-in-law said, I haven't met Miss Chen yet, and the second master hasn't mentioned it yet. How to arrange her whereabouts is yet to be discussed." rights."

Cheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Look at me, I'm too anxious, second brother and sister, you've always been clear-hearted, so I'm really worrying for nothing.

Wang Yuan'er smiled without saying a word, but she couldn't agree with her in her heart.

Cui Yuan just came back yesterday, brought a girl with him, and came here today, when he talked about this girl, was he really worried, or did he want to see a joke?
