Eldest daughter

Chapter 232
The return of the merchant ship from the port was the first batch of goods after forming a caravan for the first time. Although there were some accidents, it was also safe and sound. The loss was not big, so it was naturally worth celebrating.

Wang Yuan'er ate the celebration banquet with Song San and the others, and discussed how to sell these goods by the way. It wasn't until late at night that they went home with red cheeks.

It was a summer night almost in July, the moon was clear and bright, and the breeze came in, blowing away the heat waves during the day.

The moon hangs on a golden hook, Changle Town is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle of the day, and the lights of Wanjia are lit in the night. Occasionally, one or two dogs barking can be heard. Passing by some houses, there are many parents’ short stories in the courtyard with low walls. conversation.

This is Changle Town, where there is no intrigue, intrigue, peace and tranquility.

"Look, the moon is really round today, and the moonlight is so beautiful." Wang Yuan'er raised his eyes to look at the full moon in front of him, showing a happy smile.

Cui Yuan walked beside her, raised his eyes and looked up: "Yes, it's really beautiful." He turned his head and glanced at the woman beside her whose cheeks were flushed from drinking, and said, "People are more beautiful."

He meant something, and Wang Yuaner's already hot face became even hotter. He changed the subject and said, "Now that the merchant ships are back, the shop can also be opened. In two days, I'm going to the capital to do business with the shop."

Cui Yuan nodded and said: "The Shibo Department is about to open, I'm afraid I don't have time to accompany you, I will ask Chen Shu to accompany you and help you."

Wang Yuan'er wanted to refuse, but he had only been to Beijing once, and he didn't know many roads and places. This time, the shop was newly opened, so he had to stay for a while. , Moreover, this shop has to be taken care of by someone, so she can't take care of it by herself all the time.

Tonight, she had entrusted Song San to help her find a shopkeeper, but this guy must also find one.

For the first time, Wang Yuan'er felt that it would be a lot of inconvenience to open a shop in Beijing, at least there were many things she couldn't take care of, and now she only hoped that her eyes would brighten and she could hire a smart and reliable guy.

Thinking of this, she said: "If you lend me Chen Shu, then I will be impolite. To be honest, I am a little bit uncertain."

"Take your time, as long as this source of customers is opened, it will slowly come along." Cui Yuan comforted.

Wang Yuaner smiled: "Well, I think so too."

While talking, the two walked to the front of Wang's house.

"I'm here." Wang Yuan'er stopped and looked at him: "Go back!"

"No hurry, it's next door." Cui Yuan took his time.

Wang Yuan'er chuckled, followed his gaze, and said, "It's really close."

Something flashed across her mind, and she asked: "You didn't choose the location on purpose, did you? You deliberately built this yamen next door to our house."

A yamen, the metropolis will build a government office for officials to live in, and the Shibosi side is the same. Originally, Cui Yuan could have another house to live in, but he didn't want it. Instead, he built an additional one next to the Shibosi Yamen. The small house that he entered second, he was not married either, so it was enough to live in.

Cui Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then his cheeks turned suspiciously red, he turned his eyes away and said, "What's the intention, I just look at the good geomantic omen and the good terrain here."

Wang Yuaner had a look of disbelief.

Cui Yuan's face became hot when he saw it, and he simply said: "That's right, I chose this place on purpose, because your home is here and built here, so I'm closer to you."

He admitted generously, which made Wang Yuan'er a little bit confused about how to reply, and it was still such a 'love talk'.

But I have to say that upon hearing the affirmative answer, a tinge of sweetness rose in her heart, as sweet as eating honeydew that winter.

A gust of wind blew over, and her hair brushed against her cheeks, Cui Yuan couldn't help but reach out and stroke her strands of hair behind her ears.

After this movement, both of them were stunned, Cui Yuan withdrew his hand, while Wang Yuan'er blushed and said, "I'm going in." Without waiting for Cui Yuan to speak, he quickly turned around and opened the door to enter.

Like a frightened fawn!
Cui Yuan watched her disappear behind the door, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he turned his head slightly: "Let's go too."

Qiu He responded and stepped forward, peeking at his master's smile, like a fool, tsk.

The lights in the east chamber of the Wang family were still on, Wang Chun'er and Wang Qing'er were biting their ears, when they heard a creaking sound, they looked over.

"Big sister is back." Wang Qing'er was the first to call with a smile.

Seeing her bright red cheeks, Wang Chun'er smelled the smell of wine, and thoughtfully walked to the table and poured a glass of water over to her: "Eldest sister, have you had wine yet?"

"Two cups." Wang Yuan'er touched her hot face, smiled and took the water she handed over, and drank it down in one gulp.

Wang Qing'er pulled the chair away with a smile, pressed her to sit on it, and asked with a smile: "Sister, who sent you back so late? Let me guess, is it Master Cui?"

She was ghostly and gossiping, Wang Yuan'er couldn't help saying angrily: "I said, why are you so gossipy, girl? It's not enough to be a god, why not be a fortune-teller?"

Wang Qing'er giggled: "Sister, you just say it, don't you?"

"I went back with my lord. Isn't our home and Shibosi on the same road?" Wang Yuan'er didn't deny it either.

After hearing this, Wang Qing'er gave Wang Chun'er a look, look, I guessed it right!
Wang Chun'er smiled softly, and poured Wang Yuan'er a glass of water again.

"Eldest sister, do you mean Master Cui, do you mean that to you?" Wang Qing'er moved a little closer and said, "The fresh things I brought back today are all Master Cui's 'heart'."

"Third Sister." Wang Chun'er called softly, and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, let people listen, it's not good for Eldest Sister."

Wang Yuan'er nodded in agreement: "Look, your second sister is much stricter than you, you have to learn."

"Aren't there just three of us sisters here? Before the dust settled, I was too stupid to yell outside? I'm not a fool." Wang Qing'er shrugged her nose.

Wang Yuan'er pinched her little nose, and said with a smile: "Yes, you are the only one who is smart, and if this smartness is used on the right path, you will really be Amitabha."

Wang Qing'er didn't agree, and said coquettishly: "Sister, tell me, is it..."

Wang Yuan'er yawned, and said: "I don't have the energy to gossip with you. I'm going to wash up and rest. This shop is about to open, and I have a lot of things to do tomorrow." Waiting for Wang Qing'er to continue to question, she took the wooden basin to fetch water to freshen up.

Seeing her go out, Wang Qing'er stomped her feet, turned around and pulled her second sister and said, "Second sister, don't believe me, I dare say that Master Cui must have that kind of heart for our eldest sister."

"Whether it's true or not, Eldest Sister knows it well, so don't yell, or it will be Eldest Sister who will be embarrassed." Wang Chun'er said softly.

Wang Qing'er pursed her lips and said, "Understood."

"Go to sleep, I'll be busy tomorrow." Wang Chun'er pushed her to sleep, glanced outside the door, pursed her lips, and frowned slightly.

Master Cui and Eldest Sister, their families are far apart, even if they like each other, will they get married smoothly?
……

The merchant ship was a few days later than expected, but being late was much better than never arriving, and they brought so many fresh things back. Everyone in Changle Town knew that those merchant ships brought fresh things that were usually invisible Things are waiting to be seen fresh.

The shop of the second room of the Wang family was already ready. Relying on Wang Yuan'er, they received the goods from the merchant ship and placed them in the shop for opening. Since there was no payment for the goods for the time being, they signed the agreement, and the payment would be made in a few days.

It is not uncommon in various businesses to buy goods on credit first and then settle the bill. The second room is guaranteed by Wang Yuaner, and fortunately she has a niece. If not, no one would dare to give them credit.

The second room's shop put the goods on the shelves, ready to open the shop, and Wang Yuan'er's side was also intensively preparing to go to Beijing.

When it was time to employ people, Wang Yuan'er felt that the family was short of staff. There were only five siblings in their eldest house, and there were only three of them who could take care of the work. They went to open a new shop, which was far away in the capital, and she could really take care of it alone. I couldn't care less about the end, so I had to call the girls to give orders.

Wang Chun'er definitely couldn't help, she was engaged, and in a month or so, she would be married. Usually, the family relied on her to take care of the housework, and she still takes care of it now.And because Hou Biao went to the Shibo Department as an errand, and the two got engaged again, so Hou Dan almost always followed her at Wang's house.

Xiaoyaomei is seven years old this year, and she is well-behaved and sensible. She helps Wang Chun'er with some housework and takes her younger brother and Hou Dan to play.

Wang Qing'er wanted to follow her to broaden her horizons, but she still had to take care of the small shop of fragrant dried tea and marinated eggs, so she couldn't leave this behind.

Wang Yuan'er was in a dilemma.

"Let Qing'er go to the capital with you. She is smart. You two sisters can take care of you if you have something to do together." After learning about it, Mrs. Wang came over to talk: "As for the tea and egg shop, I just sell a few for food. Who can't sell it? Chun'er and the others can sell it, and the rest of the housework is just feeding chickens and pigs and cooking a couple of meals. I can walk with my old bones, and I can help a little bit."

Wang Yuan'er was taken aback: "Grandma, is your body able to take it?" After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll stop at the tea and egg shop for a few days, it won't hurt."

It is also good to have grandma to help take care of one or two at home, I am afraid that she is not energetic enough.

"Are you looking down on me or something?" Wang Pozi stared, and said, "It takes so much effort to feed the chickens or something. No matter how bad it is, you can still bring Bao to them. Let Qing'er go with you." , we don’t feel at ease if you, a girl, go so far by yourself.”

Wang Chun'er agreed, and said: "Sister, I think Grandma is right, let Sanmei go to the capital with you. It is better to have a caregiver. I have Grandma and my younger sister to help me. I can do it." , Dan'er can also play with Baolai."

Wang Qing'er nodded when she heard the words, and looked at Wang Yuan'er eagerly.

Looking at these people, Wang Yuan'er felt warm in his heart, and nodded with a smile: "Alright then, Qing'er will follow me to the capital to open the business."

She believes that if the family works together, things will go smoothly, which is the strength of unity.
