Eldest daughter

Chapter 215 Going to the Capital Together
Hearing that Wang Min'er followed Tang Xiuping back to the old house of the Tang family, Wang Yuan'er was speechless and helpless, but felt that this was expected. How could Wang Miner's temper be content to be ordinary?
It's a pity that she came back at an inappropriate time. It just happened that the Wang family and the Tang family had a quarrel. When Tang Laofeng was still paralyzed in bed after a stroke, the Tang family's usual practice would definitely blame Wang Min'er.

Wang Min'er will never have a good time when she comes back to the old house at this time!

Mrs. Zhang cried and begged her to find a way, but what could she do?
Eating on the same stage, practicing separately, she said good and bad words as long as an old lady's foot wrap. In the end, didn't Wang Min'er still follow her own temperament?
She has no other choice. For Wang Min'er, Wang Yuan'er really has no ability to help, because you will never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, so please yourself!
Seeing Wang Yuaner's helpless sigh, Mrs. Zhang fell to the ground in tears, and went to the Tang's house crying to ask to see Wang Miner, but they refused to let her in, they just took a broom and drove her away.

"The Wang family and dogs are not allowed to come near." That's what the Tang family said.

As Wang Yuan'er said, Wang Min'er really didn't have a good life. Since returning from Zhuangzi, she knelt in Songhe Hall for several hours, and her knees were worn out and swollen. The yard is off, because the old lady was angry and sick by her royal family.

The overgrown and barren yard hadn't been cleaned for many years, and the house was covered with a thick layer of dust. When Wang Min'er was sent there, she had only a little girl who took care of Xiao Zhilian with her, and no one else was there. No, she had to clean the yard by herself.

It's all right after the yard is cleaned, but the food delivered is either cold, rotten, or lacking. The adults are still struggling, but Xiaozhilian, except for milk, can't eat other complementary foods at all. The small body is still small after several months, so pitiful.

Before Wang Min'er came back, she naively thought that Tang Xiuping remembered their mother and daughter, and went to Zhuangzi to pick them up. He finally lived a good life, but he didn't expect to end up like this.

And all of this is because Lao Fengjun had a stroke, everyone blamed her and put the crime on her head.

Wang Min'er gave her two gold rings, and only then did she learn from the subordinates the reason why her father and the others came up to make trouble, but the cause and effect made her feel like falling into an ice cellar. Daddy?
Wang Min'er didn't dare to probe carefully, and she didn't dare to challenge Rong's authority, she was afraid, she was afraid that with Rong's eyes, looking at herself was like looking at a dead person.

When Rong was still a child, he beat and killed a maid because of a cat.

Wang Yuaner's repeated mention of her always resounded in her mind, making her even more trembling, not daring to act out of line.

Wang Min'er had no choice but to remain silent, hoping that the anger of the Tang family would subside, and that Tang Xiuping would take pity on her.

The days passed quickly, and at the beginning of May, Wang Yuan'er came to the capital with Cui Yuan's two masters and servants. She wanted to see the two shops in person, so she could decide which one to buy.

It was early summer, and everywhere was full of enthusiasm, but within two days, Wang Yuan'er arrived at the gate of the capital.

Lifting up the curtain of the car and looking up, the towering and solid city wall is guarded by soldiers with tasseled guns, the deep red city gate is wide open, and people are entering in carriages.

After living two lifetimes, this was the first time for Wang Yuan'er to visit the capital city. People entering and exiting the city gate had to line up for the soldiers to check the documents slowly before they could enter.

"This city wall is really high, and there are so many people." Wang Yuan'er's eyes lit up.

Cui Yuan was sitting opposite her, reading a scroll in his hand, following her gaze, he said: "The capital is an imperial city, and it is also the hinterland of the Northern Dynasty. Naturally, the city wall is not comparable to other gates. of."

Wang Yuan'er propped her chin up, watching the soldiers inspect with great interest, and when they arrived, they were quickly let go.

"First time?" Cui Yuan asked.

Wang Yuaner nodded.

Cui Yuan put down the scroll in his hand and introduced the imperial city to her.

The capital is divided into an inner city and an inner city. The inner city has nine gates, four turrets, three water gates, etc. The outer city also has seven gates.

Among them, the inner city is divided into two cities, the east and the west, separated by a river. The east city is where the kings and grandchildren and the imperial palace are located.Xicheng is dominated by ordinary people, but at the feet of the emperor, no matter how ordinary people are, their lives are far better than those in some small towns.

Dongcheng is a place of rich and powerful, and the shops in it are naturally frequented by nobles, and the prices are naturally much higher, while the prices in Xicheng are relatively lower, and two to three hundred taels a year can also be rented.

The shop that Cui Yuan's servant Chen Shu found for her was in the west city.

The wheels of the carriage slammed and they entered the city gate. Wang Yuan'er listened to Cui Yuan's introduction, but never took his eyes off the scenery outside.

"That's an arrow tower."

The archery tower is built in the style of a brick fortress. The tower is 36 feet high.

"The emperor's sedan chair has passed, is this the way to go?" Wang Yuan'er asked with wide eyes.

The corners of Cui Yuan's lips curled slightly: "You can say that."

After Wang Yuan'er heard this, he looked more vigorously to see if he could see the emperor.

Cui Yuan laughed out loud, approached him, and said: "The emperor doesn't leave the palace easily, and there will be a big battle when he goes out of the palace, you can't watch it."

Wang Yuan'er was seen through, and blurted out: "Do you think I haven't seen the emperor, I have!"

Cui Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Wang Yuan'er was taken aback for a moment, turned away, and said awkwardly, "Uh...in a dream!"

Cui Yuan laughed out loud, and there was a sentence in the laughter: "You have indeed seen it."

However, Wang Yuan'er was still annoyed at what she blurted out, she was just a little peasant girl, how could she have met the emperor?The person she met at the beginning, she knew he was, and the face had already been forgotten.

Therefore, she didn't hear Cui Yuan's words clearly, and asked, "What did you say?"

Cui Yuan smiled, shook his head, answered irrelevant questions, pointed to the attractions outside and introduced them one by one.

The sun was shining brightly in early summer, and it was already a quarter of noon. Wang Yuaner's eyes were suddenly flashed by a golden light, which was very dazzling.

"That's..." Wang Yuan'er closed her eyes slightly, and looked towards the direction where the golden light came from.

In the distance, there is a piece of eaves corner, with copper bells hanging on the corner, and the golden tile roof stretches continuously, and the golden light is coming from there.

I heard that the roof of the palace is made of gold. Is that the palace?
Wang Yuan'er lay on the edge of the carriage window, staring at the golden piece eagerly.

"That's the imperial palace, the place where the emperor lives." Cui Yuan smiled, holding back a smile.

Wang Yuan'er wowed, sighed, and said: "I heard that the roof of the imperial palace is made of gold. If you knock off a piece of that roof, you may never have to worry about eating and drinking again for the rest of your life."

Cui Yuan couldn't help laughing out loud, she was so funny!

Wang Yuan'er blushed: "I, I'm just a village girl I've never met before."

Cui Yuan clenched his fists to cover his lips, and said with a light smile: "Then you have been deceived. The roofs of this palace are all made of yellow glazed tiles, some of which are made of copper. As for gold, there may be some, but not all of them. It is made of gold, as you said, you can live by knocking a piece, isn't this attracting Xiao Xiaoxiao to steal?"

Although there is no ruthless Xiao Xiao who dares to steal into the palace, but there is no roof made only of gold.

Wang Yuan'er smiled mischievously, put down the curtain, and changed the topic: "This capital city is really big, we have been walking for a long time when we entered the city."

Cui Yuan took a look outside and said, "In another quarter of an hour, it's time to arrive."

It's still a quarter of an hour!
Wang Yuan'er was speechless secretly, it's been almost an hour now.

She simply closed her eyes and got up, unexpectedly, she closed her eyes and fell asleep in the swaying carriage.

Seeing that she suddenly lost her voice, Cui Yuan turned around and saw that she was asleep, he couldn't help being amused.

He was sitting next to her, turning his head to look like this, just in time to see her beautiful profile.

Growing up in the capital since childhood, what kind of beauty has never seen such a beautiful woman?Later, he fought with the emperor, and he also saw many beauties from all over the world. Wang Yuan'er was really not a beauty, he could only be called Xiaojiabiyu with a beautiful face.

But after getting along, I feel that this woman is smart and strong, knows how to advance and retreat, maybe it can be said that she is good at drilling, but it is harmless, she is widowed and her eldest daughter, and there are a bunch of younger siblings underneath.
Cui Yuan went to the Wang family more than once. She raised her younger siblings with strict care and love, and her younger siblings respected and worshiped her, which shows the deep brotherhood.

He has no father, no mother, and little to rely on, but he can still live a life. He admires such a person.

And when the two got along, her occasional ignorance and shyness of her little daughter also surprised him, just like this way into the capital, the surprise, joy and stupidity she showed made him feel Comfortable and at ease.

Wang Yuaner was real, more real than those pretentiously noble Yingying Yanyan, and made him feel more at ease.

Cui Yuan was surprised by his own feeling.

The carriage suddenly jolted slightly, and Wang Yuan'er, who was leaning on the carriage, was also bumped up, and his body fell obliquely towards Cui Yuan.

Cui Yuan quickly reached out to support her, her head and neck just fell on his hands, as if she had found a good position, and even rubbed against her.

like a kitten.

Cui Yuan's face turned red, and her fine hair brushed against the palm of his hand, which made him feel very itchy, until it went to his heart.

"Master, are you okay, I just bumped over a small rock." Chen Shu's voice came from outside the car shaft.

"It's okay." Cui Yuan replied, thought for a while and said: "The car should drive slowly, don't be in a hurry."

"Oh!" Chen Shu felt very strange. How could you hurry up? It's almost noon. Wouldn't it be better to get there sooner for lunch?His stomach was growling with hunger.
