Eldest daughter

Chapter 231 Return of the Merchant Ship
Wang Yuan'er didn't know how she got home, and when she entered the house, her distraught appearance scared everyone. Old man Wang and others thought Cui Yuan had made things difficult for her, and they all showed panic. If this was the case, their Wang family would I really don't know what to do.

Wang Yuan'er had no choice but to say that he would visit again when he was free in the future, and then went straight into his room.

Sitting blankly at the table, she couldn't remember what she promised Cui Yuan, what she said, and only one sentence was remembered in her mind: Believe me!

Wang Yuaner's cheeks were hot, trust him, should you trust him?
She thought of Cui Yuan's painful face again, and her heart ached a little again, that Cui Yuan was too weak, which made her feel heartbroken.

Yes, this man made her heart ache!
Wang Yuaner suddenly had such a realization.

Did this man break into my heart without a sound?
Wang Yuan'er was a little annoyed and at a loss. In these two lives, it was the first time she had come into contact with the relationship between a man and a woman. It was a little sour, a little sweet, a little astringent, and bitter.

"Hey!" Wang Yuan'er rested her chin on her hands, and sighed quietly, "What should I do now?"

Forget it, Zuo Zuo doesn't intend to talk about marriage now, so let's spend it like this first. Anyway, she is a peasant girl, and it's okay to marry at an older age. Even if she doesn't marry, with her own ability, she is afraid that she can't support herself?If there is really no one to rely on in the future, then it is enough to raise a child that no one wants to grow up and die.

Thinking of this, Wang Yuaner's brows relaxed, but it's one thing to think about it, and when she saw Cui Yuan again, she felt very embarrassed and shy at the same time.

Cui Yuan was the same as before, with a strategizing look, as if the fragility that was inadvertently revealed that day was just a blur to Wang Yuaner's eyes, like a dream.

But Cui Yuan's words of concern for her and his deep eyes told her that it was not a dream.

"What's the matter? Overjoyed by the good news?" Cui Yuan stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Wang Yuan'er.

When Wang Yuan'er came back to her senses, she realized that she had lost her mind again, and she couldn't help blushing.

"Why are you so absorbed in your thoughts?" Cui Yuan raised his eyebrows with a teasing smile and said, "Let me guess, but you are thinking about me? I have been holding back my sneezing for a long time."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Who misses you!" Wang Yuan'er became angry with guilt.

"No, who are you thinking of? You really hurt my heart." Cui Yuan made a gesture of Xizi holding a heart, with a sad face.

Wang Yuan'er moved his mouth, and was about to speak, when he saw the smile in his eyes, he couldn't help standing up angrily: "You're just kidding me!"

She gestured to go.

"Hey, hey, don't mind, why don't you just tease you?" Cui Yuan took her hand and muttered, "I still can't touch the little cat's head."

Seeing Wang Yuaner's stare, he quickly said, "It's my fault, come on?"

Wang Yuan'er snorted, and withdrew her hand: "Speak as you speak, and do what you want to do." While speaking, her face turned red with embarrassment.

Cui Yuan looked at Xinxi, but didn't dare to tease her anymore, talking about the news he received: "In two days, this merchant ship should arrive, there is no big loss, good job."

Wang Yuan'er was overjoyed, she closed her eyes with a smile, and clasped her hands together, saying, "Amitabha, finally a bodhisattva blesses you."

The news that the merchant ship was coming back was the best news in a while, how could she not like it?
Cui Yuan also knew that she was thinking about this merchant ship, so he reported the news to her as soon as he got the news, and seeing her smiling face now, he was also happy in his heart.

When you like someone, you probably see her smile and see her happy, so you will be happy in your heart!

……

On June [-]th, the sky was clear, the sky was high and the air was crisp, and the breath of hot summer came wave after wave.

"The merchant ship is about to enter the port!"

Someone yelled, and the side of the ferry pier was full of onlookers, Wang Yuan'er led Qing'er to squeeze past.

The river water was pressed extremely deep, and as the merchant ship approached, the water splashed against the dam of the ferry, making crackling noises.

Wang Yuan'er set up a tent at the brow bone, and took a closer look at the draft of the merchant ship. It was extremely deep, and she couldn't help grinning.

The deeper the draft of the ship, the more the goods will be brought back, and it will return with a full load. This is a great thing!

"Here we come, we come." The boat was getting closer and someone pushed forward.

"Everyone, don't crowd, be careful of falling into the river!" The Shibosi and the guards of the River Department maintained order at the front, preventing the onlookers from pressing forward.

"Eldest sister, look, my second brother-in-law looks pretty good in this outfit." Wang Qing'er poked Wang Yuan'er's waist, and pouted forward.

Wang Yuan'er looked over and saw that Hou Biao was also wearing a yamen uniform among those yamen guards. He was already tall and strong.

After Cui Yuan mentioned the recommendation, Hou Biao completed all kinds of registrations, and officially worked in the Yamen of the Shibo Department.Although the Shibo Department has not yet officially opened to the outside world, it is already in preparation, and only when the merchant ships from the imperial court return can it be called the official opening of the Shibo Department's duties.

But the yamen guards have already taken their positions in it a long time ago, and now they are all in their positions.

Wang Yuan'er didn't understand the process of opening various yamen offices to the outside world, she only cared about her interests, such as the goods of this merchant ship.

"What's skinny? Clothes are just clothes, why are you talking?" Wang Yuan'er laughed angrily.

Wang Qing'er stuck out her tongue, and noticed with sharp eyes: "Ah, Third Master Song is here too."

Wang Yuan'er looked over, sure enough, Song San was standing by the ferry with a servant, talking to another person sideways, that was Cui Yuan.

"Go, go over and talk." Wang Yuan'er walked over with a smile.

It was the boy next to Song San and Qiu He who was following Cui Yuan who first spotted Wang Yuan'er. As soon as the two of them told their master, they all looked over.

"Are you here to watch the fun too?" Song San looked at Wang Yuaner with a smile.

"How can you not come to such a grand event?" Wang Yuan'er suppressed her excitement, smiled and bowed to the two of them.

"Stand over here, watch out that the crowd squeezes you into the water." Cui Yuan pursed his lips to his side.

Wang Yuan'er didn't shirk, and went straight to his right hand and stood down.

Seeing Song San, his eyes narrowed.

"Master Song, when will we see these new things?" Wang Qing'er couldn't hold back, rubbing her hands together and asked Song San, without the shyness and reserve that a girl should have.

Wang Yuaner also looked over.

Song San smiled: "The boat is about to dock now, you can get on the boat to see something new later."

Wang Qing'er's eyes lit up: "It's a good feeling."

"This is all packaged, will it be troublesome?" Wang Yuan'er thought carefully.

"Just go and have a look, it's okay." Song San said with a smile.

Wang Yuan'er also kept silent, she also wanted to see what kind of things those imported products were!
While a few people were talking, the merchant ship docked and hit the water splashing everywhere. Soon some people disembarked, hung the anchor chain, and let the bridge go.

Wang Yuan'er followed Song San and the others into the boat, sighing as they walked, the boat seemed quite large from the outside, but once inside, it felt even more spacious.

As the steward came to the place where the goods were stored, boxes of goods packed in wooden boxes were neatly stacked, wrapped in straw outside, the steward opened a few boxes at random to reveal the contents inside.

There are smooth mirrors that can reflect the pores of people's faces, there are chime clocks that can run by themselves, and there are reading glasses suitable for elderly people. It is said that wearing them will make things particularly clear...

The steward introduced various goods.

Wang Qing'er picked up a box of balm, unscrewed the lid and took a look. The white and greasy paste inside looked like snow-white cotton. When she sniffed it lightly, it was very sweet, and she couldn't put it down immediately.

He picked up a Tongling carved mirror and looked left and right at himself, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

"Sister, this kind of mirror is so clear, you can buy me one later." Wang Qing'er said to Wang Yuan'er.

Wang Yuan'er came over to take a look, and he could see it very clearly, much better than the blurry bronze mirror, and said, "Well, then buy one."

Seeing this, Song San said: "They are all belongings of my own merchant ship. Now that I see which one is used, I will take it first and put it in the account."

"Is this okay?" Wang Qing'er couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Wang Yuan'er frowned: "This is inappropriate, there are no rules, and it will be the same when we buy it later, so as not to be wronged."

"Miss Wang, it's all right. These few boxes of things were picked out from others and kept as gifts." The manager looked at Song San's eyes and said with a smile.

"This..." Wang Yuaner was still hesitant.

"Eldest sister..." Wang Qing'er pursed her lips and looked at her eagerly.

"Take the one you like." Cui Yuan walked over and said, "Take whatever you like, pay as much money as you want, and go back to my side to pay."

He looked at Wang Yuan'er again, and said, "You can take whatever you like." He looked at it, picked up a pair of blue diamond earrings, and handed them over: "I think this looks pretty."

His undisguised affection made everyone stunned. Wang Qing'er blinked her big eyes, looking at him and at her eldest sister, as if she had discovered some new continent?
Song San raised his eyebrows, the meaning in his eyes was unclear, and he pretended to be teasing: "I said Master Cui, I still remember that this ship belongs to me, right? Why did it seem to follow your house?"

"As the envoy of the city ship department, I am in charge of the city ship department. I have reason to have the right to check what the returning merchant ship is transporting. I can't you transport some iron weapons, and I don't Turn a blind eye if you hear it or not?" Cui Yuan unceremoniously gave Song San a farewell glance, then picked up a box of rose red rouge cream and handed it to Wang Yuaner: "I see this is not bad, take it!"

This is a provocation, Chi Guoguo's provocation, but he took it for granted, doing his part, making it impossible to refute.

It's so infuriating!

Song San gritted his teeth, with black lines all over his head, watching Cui Yuan wandering around in the cabin, saying this one is good, and that one suits you, grab one and stuff it in Wang Yuaner's side.

The corner of the steward's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Song San with a serious smile.

Song San glanced at Wang Yuan'er, looking like your man, you get rid of him!

Wang Yuan'er was also embarrassed, especially under the increasingly inquisitive look of the third sister, blushing, cursing inwardly, if he doesn't play high-profile, will he die?
