Eldest daughter

Chapter 225 Be My Brother-in-law
The grass grows and the warbler flies, the wind is high and the sky is clear, and the days pass by in a flash.

In June, Wang Yuan'er was counting the days on her fingers, looking forward to the return of the merchant ship. During this period, her shop and the shop of her second uncle's house had been renovated, and everything was ready, only the east wind was owed.

The day to return from the merchant ship has not yet come, and Cui Yuan, whom he had not seen for a long time, reappeared in front of Wang Yuaner.

"You, what did you do? Why do you look so haggard?" Wang Yuan'er frowned as she looked at Cui Yuan, who had a dirty face. far away.

"I came back from Quanzhou, and I also traveled a little bit." Cui Yuan stood in front of the Wang family's door, his voice was a little hoarse.

Wang Yuan'er was about to speak when the old man Wang came out of the house and was very happy to see Cui Yuan.

"Why do you just stand at the door and talk, you child, you don't let adults come in for tea?" Old man Wang looked at Wang Yuan'er and blamed a few words, then said to Cui Yuan: "My lord, why don't you sit in the room? "

Cui Yuan thought for a while, then nodded, followed Old Man Wang into the house.

Wang Yuan'er had no choice but to send a pot of tea to Tang Wu, but heard a shocking news.

"What? Typhoon, pirate?"

Wang Yuan'er almost dropped the teapot on the ground, and looked at Cui Yuan in astonishment.

He said that this merchant ship encountered a typhoon, pirates?

"The weather in May and June is the most prone to typhoons. Our side is connected to the land, but it is not affected. But those coastal areas are different. Typhoons are always common in May and June." Cui Yuan said: "On this trip to Quanzhou, I encountered two major typhoons."

Wang Yuaner's heart trembled, and he asked anxiously, "What about the news about the caravan? Did you meet pirates?"

"According to the news, we encountered a small group of pirates, but that's nothing. The caravan has sailors, and it's just that the typhoon won't make it through. That would be fatal." Cui Yuan frowned.

Wang Yuaner sat down on the chair, full of worries.

"Don't panic, the news is not complete right now, just wait slowly!" Cui Yuan saw through her thoughts and comforted her.

Wang Yuan'er forced a smile, and felt a little depressed. Everything was going in a good direction, but such a piece of news suddenly appeared, how could it make people happy?
"Lord Cui is right. It's still early, and there's still some time before the caravan returns, so there's no rush. Besides, doing business at sea is inherently risky." Old man Wang said just now.

Wang Yuan'er blushed a little, she was really worse than Grandpa.

It's impossible to live a smooth life. Don't you have to deal with things in your life, and it's also the smooth life during this time, which makes her take it for granted.

"I'm just worried. This is the first time I've encountered this, and I don't know what to do." Wang Yuan'er laughed dryly.

"How can natural disasters be rectified? Let's do our best and see God's will!" Cui Yuan seemed to be feeling emotional.

Wang Yuan'er glanced at him, why did this man seem to have a lot of things on his mind when he went out?

Seeing that it was almost noon, old man Wang insisted on keeping Cui Yuan at home for dinner, urging Wang Yuan'er to cut meat for cooking.

Wang Yuan'er was not unwilling, let's not say that the Wang family owes Cui Yuan a lot, even the shop she set up in Beijing before, they have put a lot of effort into it, it is right to keep people for dinner.

After ordering Wang Chun'er to pick two vegetables in the vegetable garden at the back, Wang Yuan'er started a fire and started a stove.

After washing the rice and washing it in the pot, Wang Yuaner controlled the size of the firewood, turned around and took the half chicken left over from the day before yesterday from the small cellar specially stored for leftovers, and took out a large handful of dried mountain mushrooms from the drawer. Cut the meat smooth, soak and wash.

The kitchen was suddenly dark, and Wang Yuan'er was busy wielding a knife on the chopping board, thinking that Chun'er had returned, and said, "You washed the dishes, I..."

She raised her head inadvertently, seeing that it was Cui Yuan, she was startled, the knife in her hand also turned away, and she let out an ouch.

The cut finger was bleeding profusely.

What was wrong with Wang Yuaner? Cui Yuan was startled, and hurried over, grabbed her fingers, took out a handkerchief to wrap around her, and said, "Why are you so stupid? It was also cut."

Amidst the reproaches, there was undisguised concern, and Wang Yuaner felt a little sweetness in her heart.

But in a blink of an eye, she remembered, wasn't it because of this guy that she cut her hand?

Her tone was not good, and she snorted, "If you weren't there like a green ghost to frighten people, would I have cut off my finger?"

"Well, I was not careful, and I blamed the master!" Cui Yuan stared at her, the veil was almost stained red, and said: "Is there any gold medicine or something? It needs to stop the bleeding."

"Where do the villagers have those things?" Wang Yuan'er gave him an annoyed look, took an earthen pot from the top of the kitchen cabinet, took out a small handful of plant ash from it, and signaled Cui Yuan to take off the veil.

Cui Yuan looked at the plant ash on her hand, and knew that it was also commonly used by villagers to stop bleeding, so he took off the veil.

Wang Yuan'er covered the wound with plant ashes, and hissed in pain.

It hurts!
Although it hurt, the plant ash also worked, and the blood stopped.

"It's not going to work, the wound needs to be cleaned again, and I need to pack some medicine." Cui Yuan looked at it miraculously, but he was still worried.

Wang Yuaner was about to speak.

Wang Chun'er came in with a basket of green cabbage hearts. Seeing the two of them in a daze, she quickly noticed the strangeness and asked anxiously, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"Let's do it, it's a small matter." Wang Yuan'er replied, "You clean it up here, I'll get oil to rub it and wrap it up."

"Ah, oh, let me pack it for you." Wang Chun'er wanted to follow. "

"It's good that the second girl is busy with the food, I can help." Cui Yuan said hastily, without waiting for Wang Chun'er's answer, he followed Wang Yuan'er to catch up.

This, what's the situation?
Wang Chun'er was a little unresponsive.

Wang Yuan'er entered the east room, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Cui Yuan about to follow in, and hurriedly shouted: "You, what are you following here?"

"Give me the medicine for you, how do you do it yourself?" Cui Yuan was a little puzzled.Wang Yuan'er was anxious and shy, stomping her feet and said, "This is the house of our daughter's family. What do you say when you come in? Still, or..."

Lonely and widowed!

No matter how she is from the village, she is also a girl's family, so she also needs to have a good reputation. If the news gets out, will she still have to meet people?
Cui Yuan didn't expect this, he was at a loss standing at the door, he caught a glimpse of the Wang family's little sister jumping into the yard from the outside with a candy figurine, rolled his eyes, pulled the little sister over and entered the house.

"It's okay, right?" Cui Yuan was a little proud, and when she saw her downcast face, she straightened her face: "I didn't mean to belittle you, but I don't worry, let me help you."

There was worry in his eyes, Wang Yuaner's heart softened, and he turned around and took out the usual medicines and the like from the cabinet in the room.

Cui Yuan patted Wang Lan'er on the shoulder: "Good boy, your elder sister cut off her hand, go get a basin of water."

With a snap, the sugar figurine in Wang Laner's hand fell to the ground and jumped out.

Soon, Wang Lan'er fetched the water and asked, "Why did the eldest sister cut it?"

Cui Yuan was about to take Wang Yuaner's hand, but she flinched and stared: "It's not like I cut off both hands."

"Okay, okay." Cui Yuan said helplessly.

Wang Yuan'er soaked his hands in the basin, and quickly washed off all the plant ash on his hands. His white fingers were covered with rolled flesh and blood, and the flesh could be seen.

Wang Lan'er was so frightened that she burst into tears.

"The cut is so deep." Cui Yuan frowned tightly, and couldn't help but said again: "Are you treating your fingers like meat, or what, so cruel."

As he spoke, he picked up the medicated oil on the table, wiped a little on the wound, and wrapped it gently with a clean cloth, while saying: "When the wound is not healed, don't get wet. Now, the weather is getting hotter now, I'm afraid it will be filled with pus if it gets wet."

His movements were gentle and his voice was very soft, Wang Yuan'er suddenly felt that the sharp pain in his finger did not hurt so much.

Wang Lan'er stood aside and saw that the eldest sister's hand was wrapped, and couldn't help but look at the two of them, feeling miraculous.

Cui Yuan was still chanting: "Don't eat beef and eggs, these are hair products, and they are not good for the wound."

Seeing the little girl's curious eyes, Wang Yuan'er blushed, withdrew her hand, and said, "It's done, I haven't seen you for a while, why are you like a gossip, you are used to talking too much."

Cui Yuan glared at her, and his eyes fell on her head, which was only tied with braids, empty and without any jewelry.

"Why didn't you wear the Bu Yao and the hairpin I gave you before?"

Mentioning the jade hairpin, Wang Yuan'er's face immediately burned, and she said, "Which one should I wear if I have nothing to do? It doesn't have to hinder my work."

Cui Yuan couldn't help laughing: "If you wear it on your head, why is it hindering you?"

Wang Yuan'er glanced at Wang Lan'er who was standing beside her, and said anxiously, "I'm not willing to wear it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cui Yuan's eyes darkened, and his smile narrowed a bit.

Wang Yuaner's heart choked up, and she wanted to say something, but in the end it became: "The wound is healed, you can go out."

Cui Yuan lowered his eyelids and hummed.

Wang Yuan'er watched him go, and heaved a sigh of relief, but felt that his heart was missing a piece, and it didn't feel right.

"Eldest sister, does Master Cui like you?" Wang Lan'er asked suddenly.

Wang Yuan'er was taken aback: "You girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Wang Lan'er tilted her head, with a puzzled look on her face, and said, "Isn't it? Master Cui looks at your eyes the same way my brother-in-law looks at my second sister. The third sister said that this is called liking."

She was naive, but Wang Lan'er's heart was beating like a beating, and she said for a long time: "Your third sister is talking nonsense. Go, see if my brother is awake, and urinate for him when he wakes up, and don't let him wet the bed."

Wang Lan'er let out a cry, ran to the door of the inner room, stopped again, blinked her eyes and asked, "Eldest sister, will Master Cui also be my brother-in-law?" Before Wang Yuan'er could answer, she asked herself: "He She was born good-looking, and being my brother-in-law is also very good."

Wang Yuan'er couldn't help but smile bitterly, her eyes fell on the bandaged fingers, and her smile was a bit bitter.

He is very good, but she is not worthy!
