Eldest daughter

Chapter 254 Cui Yuan's Promise
After discussing with Hou Biao, Wang Chun'er and Hou Biao decided to join forces in Wang Yuaner's tea shed. According to Hou Biao, earning money is secondary. When they come to Wang's house, Wang Chun'er, mother and daughter don't have to stay at home all day with nothing to do. They still have someone to accompany them Speaking of which, anyway, he is often in the yamen, and he is also near the Wang family, so he can do everything in one fell swoop.

Hou Biao's thoughtfulness towards Wang Chun'er made Wang Yuan'er and the others very satisfied. To marry a man, isn't it just to be considerate and dependable?

Since they all agreed to expand the shop, there was no need to delay. Wang Yuan'er immediately went to the carpenter's shop to order a few small tables and stools, and discussed with Qing'er Chun'er and the others to come up with a few small ones.

Wang Yuan'er also named the shop, called the Tea Shed Shop, and had someone write a big tea character on cloth and hang it up, and on a wooden sign, wrote the small items in the shop, stewed eggs, dried fragrant, stewed pork, Cold dishes, meat buns, etc. are hung in the shop, and it is clear at a glance when people come in.

It was early September when the tea shed was officially reopened, and the Shibo Department officially opened its business throughout the Northern Dynasties.

Once the Yamen of the Shibo Department was opened, merchant ships coming and going in and out of the port had to be registered at the Yamen. With all these comings and goings, the entrance of the Shibu Department became lively, and the business of the tea shed shop was also getting better day by day.

It is worth mentioning that, because Jinwang fermented bean curd became a tribute, it received a few more big orders, and then opened a big workshop in Jiangnan and Shanxi, and there were merchant ships out to the sea to bring out a batch. The business is very good, Manager Guan said, at the end of the year, he will be able to distribute dividends to Wang Yuaner.

This made Wang Yuan'er very happy. She thought that all the profits from the fermented bean curd this year would go to the merchant ship, but now that money is going into the bag, how could she be unhappy?
Besides, the merchant ships are pulling goods out to sea again. If there is no accident, they will be able to come back at the end of the year, and the profit will definitely not be bad at that time.

The foreign firms in the capital also sent news, because the merchant ships from the imperial court have returned, and the imported goods are seen a lot, so they are not new. Several shops selling this imported goods have also opened in Dongcheng, taking away the business of Baolai foreign firm. better.

But because the price of Baolai Foreign Bank is not set high, the business can't be said to have plummeted, but the profit is not as good as when it opened. The shopkeeper Bai also advised Wang Yuan'er not to worry, as long as the cost price is worse than others, then the shop will be able to survive. Fortunately, he also put forward some suggestions that are beneficial to the shop in view of the current situation, such as bundling sales, such as selling in batches, etc.

Regarding this, Wang Yuan'er had already known it in his heart, and he didn't take it to heart. He also agreed with Shopkeeper Bai's opinion, and wrote back to him to let him make the decision.

Everything went smoothly, Wang Yuaner was grinning all day long, she would be happier if the guy in front of her was not dangling in front of her eyes.

"I've only been away for about ten days, why did you treat me with a straight face? It's really sad." Cui Yuan sat in the tea shed, smiling at Wang Yuan'er.

I haven't seen her for more than ten days, and I really miss her, especially...

He looked at Wang Yuan'er's pink lips, and recalled the feeling he had touched that night during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He couldn't help feeling a little hot in his ears, and there was something strange somewhere.

Wang Yuaner glared at him, and said angrily, "What are you doing here?"

Cui Yuan glanced at the tea shed, and then at the wooden sign with the variety written on it. He had a beautiful lower script with hairpin flowers in his hand, and he knew it was from Wang Yuan'er at a glance.

I heard that her grandfather was born as a scholar, and her mother has been studying and learning calligraphy since she was a child. I think her mother taught her handwriting, right?

"Obviously, let's drink tea." Cui Yuan smiled and ordered two small dots.

Wang Yuan'er really wanted to say that he would not do your business, but seeing that there were still guests sitting at the other small tables, he could only pour him a bowl of tea angrily and served two refreshments.

Putting the refreshments on the table heavily, Wang Yuan'er ignored him, turned around and left.

Unexpectedly, the hem of the skirt was pulled by someone, and Wang Yuaner was quite frightened. When she saw the owner of that claw from which claw, she couldn't help being very angry: "What are you doing? You still don't let go."

Then he glanced nervously at the people around him. Does this guy know that he is pulling her skirt in public? Isn't he afraid of losing his reputation?

"Sit down, I haven't seen you for a few days." Cui Yuan looked at her sadly.

Wang Yuaner's heart softened, and she was afraid that people around would pay attention to them, so she sat down resentfully.

Seeing Wang Qing'er who was busy behind the shop, she whispered a few words in Wang Chun'er's ear. The two sisters looked over and secretly covered their mouths and smiled.

"This is a big crowd, you should restrain yourself anyway." Wang Yuan'er lowered his voice to warn Cui Yuan, but his tone seemed angry, which made Cui Yuan's heart sour.

He coughed lightly, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Why did you suddenly turn the shop into a tea shed?"

When mentioning this, Wang Yuan'er felt a little complacent, and said: "I think this market company has opened, and there are more people coming and going here, so there must be some profits. Look, isn't this business very good?"

"It's really an eye for money. How much business do you want to do with this one business after another?" Cui Yuan laughed.

Wang Yuan'er snorted softly: "Who in this world thinks there is too much money? Besides, look at how many brothers and sisters I have under me, how many mouths are waiting for dinner."

Cui Yuan shook his head, slowly picked up a handful of cold fungus, looked at her and suddenly asked, "Did you miss me these days?"

Cough cough, Wang Yuan'er was taking a sip of tea, when he heard the words, he coughed until his face turned red.

"Who would have thought..." Wang Yuan'er raised her voice, and when she saw the guests around her, she quickly lowered her voice: "Who misses you? You're talking nonsense."

"Really? I miss you every day!" Cui Yuan seemed to deliberately tease her.

Wang Yuan'er gritted her teeth angrily: "Did you do it on purpose?"

What kind of place is this? What did he say on purpose?
Wang Yuan'er remembered what Mrs. Wang and the others had said. She thought she was going to do stupid things like Wang Min'er, but this person was still unemployed and still doing such intimate things to her. What is this?
Could it be that in his mind, he is only worth being treated lightly?

She is a peasant girl and has no noble status, but she is also an innocent girl!
Wang Yuan'er suddenly felt extremely wronged, and her eyes turned red.

Without any warning, her eyes turned red, with crystal clear tears swirling inside, stubbornly not falling, Cui Yuan stared blankly at her, not knowing that the steamed stuffed bun in her hand had fallen.

"you……"

Why did Wang Yuan'er run away before she could say a few words after crying?

Cui Yuan quickly threw his chopsticks and chased after him.

……

Mrs. Wang was sitting in the yard, sewing, and Baolai and Dan'er were playing with mud beside her. Suddenly, the eldest granddaughter ran to the east room and slammed the door behind her.

Wang Yuan'er has always been calm, especially in the past two years, she has become more and more capable and calm, rarely panicking, how can it be like today?

Mrs. Wang couldn't help being a little stunned, unable to figure out the situation, what happened?
Before she could figure out why, she saw another person rushing in, and she took a closer look, it was Cui Yuan.

Wang Pozi immediately put down the needle and thread in her hand and stood up.

Cui Yuan, however, acted as if he hadn't seen her, and rushed towards the east room, about to open the door.

There was a loud cough from behind!

Cui Yuan froze and turned around.

"Master Cui, this is it?" Mrs. Wang smiled without a smile on her face, and only looked at the door behind him with doubts in her eyes.

Embarrassed, Cui Yuan bowed to Mrs. Wang.

"The eldest girl seems to have misunderstood me, Yuan wants to apologize in person."

Mrs. Wang frowned and knocked on the door, but there was no answer, and she knocked again, but there was still no answer.

She yelled twice more, and Wang Yuaner's voice came out, saying that she was tired and had to rest for a while.

Wang Pozi looked at Cui Yuan and said, "This girl sometimes has a temper, don't blame my lord, she will be fine in the future, Master Cui, do you think?"

Cui Yuan is impatient, but Mrs. Wang is here, how can he force his way?

"Yuan is rude." He saluted again.

Seeing the sincerity in his every move, Mrs. Wang secretly praised him, the family education of our young master is indeed not comparable to that of a rough man, no wonder that girl Yuan Er thinks about him that way.

She thought for a while and then said: "Master Cui, Chun'er of our family is married, but Yuan'er has not yet settled down at the [-]th year, so her grandpa and I are planning to find a good job for her. People that Master Cui knows If there are many suitable candidates, how about giving them a look or two?"

Cui Yuan was taken aback.

Did he hear correctly, Mrs. Wang is asking him to find a marriage for Wang Yuaner?
"Although our family is small and small, it is also an innocent farming and studying family. Others don't mention it. You can see the character of Yuaner in our family. She is a good girl. She is not worthy of the nobles, but she is a well-matched family. More than worthy, Master Cui, don’t you think so?”

"Ma'am, what do you mean?"

"My grandpa and I have no other intentions. The granddaughter is happy on her own, and we don't say anything. But marriage must be serious with three books and six ceremonies. If not, it will be adultery without a matchmaker. Yes." Mrs. Wang looked at him with piercing eyes: "The reputation of our women is far more important than that of men, Mr. Cui, the reputation of Yuan'er's widow and eldest daughter is already ugly enough, if there is another pre-marital infidelity, it will have nothing to do with it." Pushing her to die makes no difference."

"Yuan understands what auntie means!" Cui Yuan looked serious, looked behind the door, through the crack of the door, seemed to see the person standing behind the door, said: "Yuan didn't mean to underestimate Miss Wang, Yuan is sincere. I beg you, I am devoted to you, and please tell the eldest lady that a matchmaker will definitely be sent to the door in the future."

Mrs. Wang was taken aback when she heard that, she originally wanted him to restrain himself, but she didn't expect to hear such words.

Cui Yuan clasped his hands and saluted, took another deep look at the closed door, and then left.

Squeak!

Wang Yuan'er opened the door, Cui Yuan was no longer outside the door.

"This...what the hell are you doing?" Mrs. Wang couldn't understand either.

Wang Yuan'er's face was red and hot, biting her lips lightly, as if she had made up her mind, she looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "Grandma, if he really sends a matchmaker in the future, my granddaughter will definitely marry him."

When she said these words, her eyes were as bright as morning stars, and Mrs. Wang was stunned.
