Eldest daughter

Chapter 200 Set up a marriage
Wang Yuan'er told Mrs. Wang and Old Man Wang completely about her plan to betroth Wang Chun'er to Hou Biao.

"What, then Hou Biao?" Mrs. Wang was the first to feel surprised and shocked, she frowned and said, "Let's not say that Hou Biao didn't know his background, and there was a little girl around here, what do you think? "

In her opinion, Wang Chun'er is good-natured and virtuous, and there are quite a few people who come to ask for marriage. Even the family that Matchmaker Zhu mentioned is far stronger than this Hou Biao. Why do these sisters fall in love with him alone? Woolen cloth?

How could Wang Yuaner not know what Mrs. Wang said?But I can't help that Chun'er likes it herself. Seeing that girl still looks sad for love, who would be willing to say no?

Cui Yuan has a good saying that only the wearer knows whether the shoes are suitable or not, what others think is good may not be what she wants.

"You don't want to indulge her, let her own temperament, see Min'er is a living example, none of us think that Tang San is not a good match, she must twist her temper to go, whatever the result, you don't care. I see." Mrs. Wang felt a pain in her heart when she mentioned Wang Min'er.

"Grandma, I know that Dan'er is not the real daughter of Brother Hou, she..." Wang Yuan'er told Hou Dan's life experience neatly.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang couldn't help sighing. What's the difference between this and Min'er?
"Brother Hou has a straight face, and he doesn't look like an idiot. It's just that he doesn't have a serious job to support his wife." When Wang Er's accident happened, Hou Biao also helped Zhang Luo inside and out, On the contrary, he won a lot of favor from old man Wang, so he didn't really resist.

"Since we have settled down here, we must find a decent job." Wang Yuan'er said, "I accepted this family, not for any other reason. First of all, now Biao has no father and no mother, a widow, Chun'er If you marry, you don't have to serve your parents-in-law. There is no such thing as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law disputes. There are no brothers. Naturally, there is no dispute with sister-in-law, and there is no such thing as being bullied. These two things, he is willing to be in Changle Calm down, no matter where you live, you are close to us, and you can take care of anything. What do you say, grandpa and grandma?"

Old man Wang nodded, and Mrs. Wang pursed her lips.

"As for errands, I don't think he's lazy. It's not difficult to find a serious errand. Chun'er has a gentle personality. Both of them see each other right. Naturally, there will be business opportunities in the days to come. If you don’t worry about your life, you won’t be able to live well. If you are rich and smooth, and the two of you are harmonious and beautiful, are you afraid that you won’t be able to make money?” Wang Yuaner said again.

"You're right. The key to living in this life is to rely on the mutual support of the two. It's a matter of discussion." Old man Wang nodded in agreement.

"What does grandma mean?"

Mrs. Wang raised her eyelids to look at her, and said, "Since you've made your plans, what can I say?"

"You can't say that. You are grandma, and you have to drink a cup of tea from your grandson-in-law. Naturally, you should drink it happily."

Wang Yuaner smiled and said good things.

Mrs. Wang's face turned pale, but she still said stubbornly: "You are all grown up, and you have the right ideas in your hearts. I can't control anything. It's all decided. Just don't regret it in the future. It's like planting fruit. I planted it myself. In the future, whether it is sour, astringent, sweet or bitter, it will all be planted by oneself, and you can only taste it yourself."

"Grandma, we all know that."

Mrs. Wang nodded, looked at her suddenly, with a strange expression on her face, and said, "Chun'er's matter is settled, what about you, what do you think?"

Wang Yuaner was taken aback.

"Girl Yuan, you are the eldest daughter. You are seventeen years old this year, and this marriage is about to get tighter." Old man Wang pointed out.

Wang Yuan'er's face was slightly hot, she laughed twice, and said, "I know it all in my heart." Afraid that the two of them would continue to ask about her, they found an excuse and slipped away.Old man Wang and Mrs. Wang looked at her running away, shook their heads, and said, "In terms of righteousness, who in the family can compare to her? I don't know what kind of husband to find to match her."

Wang Yuan'er himself hadn't really thought about what kind of man to be a husband-in-law to find. For a peasant girl from a small family like them, they should just find a boy who matches her family, right?
But one thing is certain is that the person she asks must respect her, regardless of the details. There are still a few younger siblings in her family who have to worry about it!

Wang Yuaner shook his head, shaking out all the thoughts in his mind.

……

Now that the marriage between Hou Biao and Wang Chun'er, the young couple, has been exposed, and considering that the two are not too young, the next step is to put marriage on the agenda.

Wang Yuan'er first wrote a letter to her grandma and the others, briefly explaining Chun'er's affairs, and planned to make a marriage between her and Hou Biao, and it would be avoided if other people looked at her.

I thought that my grandma would know if she wrote back a letter, but I didn't expect her to come directly to help Zhang Yan. Seeing Hou Biao's clear and decent eyes, and seeing his polite and respectful manner, I was very satisfied.

The elders were all satisfied, so Wang Yuan'er specially asked Mrs. Zheng to be the intermediary. According to the three books and six appointments, he hosted a banquet and formally engaged the two of them. According to the traditional calendar, he chose an auspicious date, which was set at the beginning of August. Eighty married.

After walking around and exchanging marriage certificates, the marriage between Wang Chun'er and Hou Biao was settled firmly.

The girl who was engaged was always shy, and Wang Chun'er was a thin-skinned person, and when Wang Qing'er and others made fun of her, her face would turn as red as a boiled shrimp.

We got married in August, and now it's March, and there are still a few months left. The dowry for the wedding has to be prepared slowly. Fortunately, Wang Chun'er is a female celebrity herself, so she can embroider wedding dresses, pillow mats, etc. Down.

It was the first time Dafang married a daughter, Wang Yuaner, the eldest sister, was both a father and a mother, and she was obsessed with preparing a generous dowry for Wang Chuner.

When a woman gets married, the dowry is rich, and she will be decent and confident when she goes to her husband's house in the future, and her waist is straight, so she is looked down upon by her husband's family.

Although Wang Chun'er's husband's family only had Hou Biao and a little girl, Wang Yuan'er was unwilling to wrong her.

"The land in Changle Town is very expensive now, and I can't buy it if I want to. I just want to look at a few neighboring towns, find a piece of good land there, and buy it as a dowry for you." Wang Yuan'er flipped through the pages The account book at home, while calculating in my heart, said to Wang Chun'er.

Wang Chun'er hurriedly said: "Sister, you don't need to buy any fields, that's too much, just prepare some quilts for me, and the cloth will be enough."

Wang Qing'er chuckled, and said: "Second Sister, other people only think that the dowry is too small, but you are the other way around, and think that the dowry is too much. When my brother-in-law hears this, I'm afraid I will call you stupid in my heart."

Wang Chun'er blushed and said angrily, "What brother-in-law, you're not married yet, so don't yell." After a pause, he said, "He's not that kind of person either. He said, I'm willing to marry him, it's just a piece of cloth Even without the dowry, it is done.”

"Yo yo, big sister, listen, this is not married yet, she has already helped." Wang Qing'er immediately screamed strangely.

Wang Chun'er was so ashamed that she simply put down the embroidery in her hand and scratched her creaking hole: "Damn girl, I think you will laugh at me, and you will wait when you get married in the future."

"Ah, good second sister, please forgive me, my sister doesn't dare." Wang Qing'er avoided her and begged for mercy.

After the two sisters finally calmed down, Wang Yuan'er smiled and said: "Qing'er is right, no one thinks that the dowry is too much, you are honest." It is precisely because of this that she loves her even more.

"Miss..."

"The field must be bought. You can't cultivate it. You rent it out. There are only a few people who have a year's ration and can sell it for some money." Wang Yuan'er stopped her and said: "You also Don't say no, it's not easy to run a family, there are many places where a family needs to spend money, if it weren't for the fact that there are so many places where money is used in the family, I would like to set up a shop for you."

Wang Chun'er was startled, and hurriedly said: "Eldest sister, it's impossible, I don't want it."

"You just want it, but you don't have it now." Wang Yuan'er smiled. He has spent a lot of money on his business these days, and those who invested in merchant ships have not yet returned. The silver is only about 200 taels.

According to the news given to her by Manager Guan, the merchant ship has already been shipped, and the first batch of goods will also leave the port. It will take at least two or three months. The one brought back from Outland.

"But not now, when the family earns money in the future, I will make up a shop for you." Wang Yuan'er said to Wang Chun'er with a smile.

Wang Chun'er waved her hands and said, "It's really not necessary, big sister, I'm the only one, and there are two other girls underneath, even you are not married yet, so there is a lot of money to spend."

"Elder Sister knows it well." Wang Yuan'er pinched her face: "You can embroider your dowry with peace of mind. Eldest Sister is beside you."

Wang Chun'er wanted to say something more, but Wang Qing'er said: "Eldest sister is right, second sister, you can rest assured."

Seeing that both of them said that, Wang Chun'er could only sit down anxiously, thinking about whether Ming'er would say something to Hou Biao.

But Wang Yuan'er saw the land deed of the Zhao family at the bottom of the box, and wondered whether it should also be added to Wang Chun'er as a dowry.

Zhao Goudan never came back, there was no news at all, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Although she had the land deed of Zhao's small courtyard, Wang Yuaner didn't regard it as her own property, even though she had given it to her at the beginning. Money, but after all, it is a little less, especially now that the land price is not as good as before. For such a piece of land, the house is not expensive, but the land is precious.

Wang Yuaner also thought of one more thing, that is, if this house was used as a dowry, she was afraid that Hou Biao would feel uncomfortable. When a man marries a daughter-in-law, even the whole family needs a daughter-in-law to dowry.After all, Hou Biao is renting there now!

Thinking of this, Wang Yuan'er still discarded the thoughts in her heart, lest there would be a estrangement between the two before they got married.

Unexpectedly, Hou Biao found her just for this house.
