Eldest daughter

Chapter 277
Before dawn on the fourth day of the lunar new year, the lights at Wang Yuaner's house were turned on, and she began to get busy.

Today is the day for their warm pot treats, so it is necessary to make preparations early. As the host, Wang Yuan'er can't be lazy, so she got up before dawn.

After washing up, she came out and watched grandma and the others get up.

"Grandma, it's not yet dawn, why don't you sleep a little longer." Wang Yuan'er asked with concern.

"The old guy has a shallow sleep, and he can't fall asleep when he wakes up. He has to help you take care of things." Mrs. Liang gathered the clothes on her body.

Wang Yuan'er was not polite, just said: "Then grandma, you should wear more, it's cold, don't catch a cold."

There are no elders in her family to preside over, and there are no servants. If everything needs to be done well, it will definitely need manpower, so she will not pretend to refuse.

"Hey."

While talking, my aunt and the others got up too. Except for the younger ones, they all busied themselves, going into the stove to boil water to kill chickens, washing, and setting the table.

At dawn, someone called the door again, but it was Mrs. Wang and the second uncle who came to help. Before this person came in, Wang Chun'er and the others also came.

Chun'er was pregnant, Wang Yuan'er didn't dare to ask her to do some heavy work, but only asked her to help with the fire in the kitchen. Firstly, the work was light, and secondly, it was warm, which made Wang Chuner feel very embarrassed.

One after another, people came to help with the work, all of them were familiar people, Aunt Tie Zhu and his family, Mrs. Zheng and the others, Sister Shu Gen and so on. When it was daylight, the house was already full of people's voices. up.

Those who come here to have a banquet are at noon, and after eating the special pastries and porridge earlier, they are all busy with the noon cuisine.

Wang Yuan'er is the host, so she can't hide in the kitchen and work all the time. She posted a post to invite people, and she has to wait for the arrival of the guests.

At the second quarter of the hour, she freshened up and dressed again, with rouge on her face, a begonia red pomegranate butterfly wearing a flowered Confucian jacket, a colorful pleated skirt with mandarin ducks and wishful patterns, and a rose jade hairpin in her hair. There is a jewel-encrusted bud, which is a gift from Cui Yuan to her.

Walking in front of people is amazing. I am used to seeing her plain attire, but I have never seen her so grandly attired.

People came to the door one after another, and Cui Yuan was the first one to come. According to his words, there is nothing wrong with the left and right yamen, so it's good to come and watch the excitement.

But Wang Yuan'er knew that he was doing her a favor, and as expected, he attracted many envious eyes when he came.

Not long after Cui Yuan arrived, Manager Guan also came and presented congratulatory gifts, and Wang Yuan'er arranged them all in the flower hall.

Many people came to the door, but Wang Yuan'er was a little at a loss, just because these people didn't have much contact with each other, they were all famous non-member landlords in the town, and the gifts they sent were not light.

Wang Yuan'er didn't pretend to be sentimental, she felt that people thought highly of her, and she knew that these people came for Cui Yuan from the way they smiled flatteringly in front of Cui Yuan.

This time, Cui Yuan really took the credit.

More people came, and the neighbors looked at Wang Yuaner differently. This was even more enthusiastic than when Wang Chuner got married!
In view of the large number of people who came uninvited, Wang Yuan'er might not have prepared enough materials, so he had to let Hou Biao and his uncle go shopping again in a hurry.

The house was buzzing with people, Wang Yuan'er was busy greeting, setting up seats, and registering gifts from guests, scurrying around like a fly.

Fortunately, Cui Yuan lent Chen Shu to her as an envoy, at least she can free up the part of leading the guests.

In the eyes of everyone, this inevitably has a different meaning.

Wang Yuan'er took a booklet and was busy registering all kinds of gifts, when Chen Shu came over in a hurry.

"Master Song is here, you have to go out to meet him yourself."

Wang Yuaner was a little surprised by his expression, but he put down the brochure and walked out of the house quickly.

The moment she saw Song San, she knew why Chen Shu wanted her to come to greet him in person, because not only Song San, but also his family members came here.

He personally helped a magnificent young woman out of the carriage. The young woman was wearing a purple dress embroidered with gold peonies, a cloak embroidered with silver and platinum peonies, and two red gold filigree inlaid with rubies. The steps are shaking, the eyebrows are picturesque, charming and magnificent.

Seeing Song San's tender and affectionate appearance, I think this is his wife?
Wang Yuan'er walked down the steps quickly, gave a blessing to Song Sanfu, and said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to your arrival, third master." Then he turned his eyes to the young woman and bowed his knees to give a blessing.

"This is my wife. This year happens to be in Beijing for the Chinese New Year, so I just brought her here to join in the fun." Song San introduced.

Wang Yuan'er made another blessing: "Happy New Year, Third Grandma Song."

The attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, calm and calm, the third grandma Song saw it, her lips curled slightly, she affectionately helped Wang Yuan'er up, held her hand lightly, and said: "Get up, I have heard about you from my husband. When I saw it, I was really a smart girl, and my sister really impressed me."

It was the first time we met, so enthusiastic, Wang Yuaner was a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be praised by the third grandma, it's cold outside, please sit inside."

After leading people into the house, the servants arranged to have tea and snacks in one room, Song San naturally led to Cui Yuan's room, and Wang Yuan'er personally led Song San's grandma to another flower hall specially for female relatives.

There are not many wealthy families in Changle Town, so Wang Yuan'er didn't know many grandmas and wives with status, and the guests he invited were all business contacts, and some folks and male guests from the village were also Cui Yuan in terms of status. And Song San.

As for the female guests, those who came to help with the work went to the kitchen to help, and those who did not go, there were only a few of them, and Mrs. Liang accompanied them to talk. When they saw Wang Yuan'er leading the third grandmother in, they were a little embarrassed.

Wang Yuan'er was also a little uneasy, so she led Third Grandma Song to sit down at the top, served tea herself, and said with a smile: "Third Grandma came all the way from Beijing, she must have driven quite a long way, if you feel tired, you can go to the wing to rest One or two, it's better to keep your eyes and ears quiet."

This is an excuse made by Grandma Song because she is not used to being with these people!
Third Grandma Song glanced at her, a strange look flashed in her eyes quickly, she smiled deeper, and said, "Sitting in the carriage is also tiring, so it's good to talk to the big guys, it's also relieved."

After hearing this, Wang Yuan'er covered her mouth and smiled, "I'm afraid that the people in our village speak harshly, and the third grandma won't be used to it." Then she introduced her grandma, grandma, and some familiar ladies.

Grandma Song San didn't put on airs either, she smiled at everyone, and said a few words first, and some people gradually boldly started gossiping with her.

But most of the time, it was Wang Yuaner who was talking to her. After a few cups of tea, Third Grandma Song looked tired, and Wang Yuaner took her to his wing to rest knowingly.

"The room is poorly furnished, I hope the third grandma won't dislike it." Wang Yuan'er said shyly.

Grandma Song San took a good look at the room. The layout of the room was simple, but it was tidy. She smiled and said, "It's simple, but it's also quite elegant. What kind of fragrance does it have? It smells like wintersweet to me!"

She swept her eyes and saw a pink-blue vase on the small table by the window sill. Sure enough, there was a plum branch stuck in it.

"Are you still fond of Mei?" Third Grandma Song looked at her with a smile.

"It was my third sister who insisted on getting it for me. The third grandma laughed at this group of tricksters." Wang Yuan'er was a little embarrassed.

"That's pretty good." Third Grandma Song looked at her and said, "You're also pretty good."

Wang Yuan'er blushed, served her another cup of tea, and talked with her for a while.

Seeing Third Grandma Song knit her brows, Wang Yuan'er said wittily, "Third Grandma, take a rest. I'll bring some food to the room for later."

"What's wrong with this?" Third Grandma Song seemed to be in a dilemma.

Wang Yuan'er smiled slightly, and said: "I hope the third grandma will love me more. If you eat outside, the other female relatives will be terrified. Let me accompany you. At that time, you must have two glasses of wine."

Third Grandma Song chuckled while holding the handkerchief, and said, "You are so funny."

Wang Yuan'er smiled, let her rest well, performed a blessing ceremony and left the wing, and closed the door considerately.

As soon as she left, Xiang Ye, the girl standing behind Third Grandma Song, stepped forward to refill her tea and asked, "Grandma, what do you think?"

"He's smart and tactful, he knows how to advance and retreat, and his eyes are straight, not bad." Third Grandma Song took a sip of her tea.

"Grandma came here in person, it's a compliment to her." Xiang Ye said with some pride and disdain.

The third grandmother of Song's face sank slightly after hearing this, and said: "Don't say this again, I'm here to palm her eyes on the order of my mother, what are you saying that is not flattering? And don't let the third master say what you said. Listen to it, otherwise, you will go back to Jiang's house."

Xiang Ye was startled, and pretended to kneel: "Grandma, Xiang Ye knows his mistake."

"Don't kneel, get up." Third Grandma Song waved her hand and said, "Let alone let my wife let me come to hold an eye on this matter, according to the words of the third master, it is also decided, just to see what kind of person he is That's all. But since the third master also likes the person, I think it won't be too bad."

"It's also grandma, you are generous. If I change to another grandma, I'm afraid I will be jealous with my uncle after hearing my husband praise other girls." Xiang Ye said good things.

The third grandma Song's face widened, and she said: "When you marry into the Song family, although my husband did not take the official path, my mother-in-law didn't make things difficult for me, and she didn't let anyone in my room. My husband also loves me and respects me. This is already my good fortune. Look at the big sisters, even if they are married to high-ranking officials, they can fight with their mother-in-law and concubines every day, how can I live comfortably?" Xiangye also showed concern when thinking of the married life of the other young ladies of the Jiang family. : "After all, it is Madam who loves Miss, and chose such a family for Miss. It looks inconspicuous, but life is comfortable."

Grandma Song San nodded, and said: "So, when the husband and mother are together, I just need to follow along, but it's just an extra girl in name, and it won't divide me. You can take care of the bottom when you turn around People, don't gossip, if this girl is a lucky one, there will be more contacts in the future."

Xiang Ye shivered, and responded respectfully: "Yes!"
