Eldest daughter

Chapter 291

The topic of the emperor's draft has been going on for quite a while, but for the common people, it has nothing to do with them for [-] lifetimes, and it's just a topic of conversation after dinner, so naturally they quickly put it behind them and devoted themselves to it. In my own little days.

The so-called plan for a year lies in spring, when farming starts in March, the farmers can be seen everywhere in Changle Town, and the paddy fields are planted with green seedlings, full of vitality.

Apart from farming and transplanting rice seedlings, raising chickens and pigs, as long as it is related to livelihood, nothing is left behind.

The piglets and chickens of Wang Yuan'er's family have also been raised. Now that they have servants, the sisters have a lot more time. The servants basically take care of the work at home, or they just do something easy and trouble-free. The time is spent managing the business of the shop, or being a female celebrity.

According to Aunt Cai's words, it is not appropriate for a daughter's family to show their faces, especially when they are engaged, but in the Wang family, there is really no such rule.

As for Jinwang fermented bean curd, because the business has started, Song San advocated opening workshops in Jiangnan and other places, so he transferred Guan Fang to manage it. matter.

Therefore, Wang Yuan'er spent a lot of time in the workshop. As for the tea shed shop, Qing'er was still in charge. Chun'er was three months pregnant, and occasionally came to help.

The days are just spent in the ordinary, talking about gossip.

The pattering spring rain has been falling for almost a month, and as soon as March is over, it will be Qingming. Wang Yuaner took several younger siblings to pay respects to their parents' graves. , to handle their own affairs.

At the end of April, Second Uncle and the others finally bought Wang Yuaner's and the others' east house with 60 taels of silver. When the money was delivered, Mrs. Zhang still said a few harsh words.

With her temperament, Wang Yuan'er was too lazy to bother with her, but she was curious why she was so eager to buy the house all of a sudden, and went to great lengths to renovate it.

After questioning, it turned out that Mrs. Zhang planned to marry Fuquan, and the family she was interested in was a rice seller from a family named Mo in Tanghe Town.

"Grandma, Fuquan is only fifteen this year, why is Second Aunt so eager to marry him?" Wang Yuaner asked with a frown.

In her opinion, Wang Fuquan is still a child, especially since such an unpleasant incident happened before, it is really inappropriate to say kiss at this time.

In families like theirs, there are many men who are seventeen or eighteen married, so why is it so urgent?Older and more sensible, this is only 15 years old, Fuquan himself is still absurd, can he take on the responsibility of a family and a man?
"She herself wants to spend money from her mother-in-law. Why do you want me and your grandpa to hug your great-grandchildren earlier? Doesn't she think that I care too much, and that she has been a daughter-in-law for a long time, so she wants to be a mother-in-law so that she can spend money?" Mrs. Wang Unhappy and authentic.

It seems that she doesn't really want Wang Fuquan to get married so early.

Mrs. Wang is not like other mothers-in-law when it comes to children and grandchildren. She wants to marry her grandson at the age of fourteen or fifteen, because in her opinion, men's essence blooms early, which is harmful to the body, so her two sons are both at seventeen. Eight only to become a pro.

Naturally, Mrs. Wang would not tell Wang Yuaner, an unmarried young girl, about this, but it was obvious that she didn't like Zhang's actions in her heart.

But she is just a grandma, how can she manage her grandson's marriage, what Zhang told her was just to inform her.

"Then what's the situation in the Mo family? Would you agree to see the second aunt? Could it be that there is something wrong with the girl?" Wang Yuan'er asked.

"What's wrong, do you think your younger brother can't marry a good wife?" Mrs. Zhang opened the door and walked in, looking at Wang Yuan'er with an unhappy face.

"Second Aunt, I'm just asking casually. Naturally, we need to know the details of the family." Wang Yuan'er was not angry, but said lightly.

"Don't worry, the daughter of the Mo family is doing well. It's a good marriage that can't be found even with a lantern." Mrs. Zhang snorted from her nasal cavity.

The Mo family owns three rice shops in Tanghe Town. There are three sons and a daughter in the family. The daughter has been pampered since she was a child. Like a young lady, she is good-looking and the most important thing is that the dowry is also generous.

Wang Yuan'er felt even more strange when he heard that, if such conditions were true, would he still be able to look up to Fuquan?

It's not that she underestimated Fuquan, he's young, he doesn't have much ability now, he had such a reputation before, and his family is not rich, so would the Mo family think highly of him?
"That's really congratulations to Second Aunt. If it's as you said, it really is a good relationship." Wang Yuan'er smiled and complimented, and then asked: "Where did Second Aunt find such a marriage?"

From her memory, she shouldn't know anyone who runs a rice shop, right?

"It's my old horse crane..." Mrs. Zhang coughed lightly, and said, "It was introduced by a friend I know."

Mrs. Wang snorted coldly: "What kind of friend, I think it's true if you are a pig friend or a dog friend."

"In short, there is such a person. Mother, you will definitely like him when you meet him. That is your first grandson-in-law. In the future, I will give you a white and fat great-grandson, and it will be perfect." Mrs. Zhang Leaning over, he said with a smile: "Mother, I think the east house should be refurbished as soon as possible, otherwise the new wife won't even have a nice place to come in, so that's not justified."

Mrs. Wang squinted at her: "This person doesn't even look at each other, so you're talking about the new house first. Why, this marriage has already been discussed to ten percent, so it must be a success?"

Mrs. Zhang choked, and said with a sneer: "Isn't this the common saying, sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood? First, repair the new house. Once you want to get married in the future, you don't have to rush. Besides, people come to see each other. We must take a look inside and outside our house, if there is no good place, how can it be done?"

"As a grandma, I am not qualified to talk about my grandson's marriage. You are his mother. If you want to repair the house, you can find a way to do it yourself. I don't have the money." Mrs. Wang said coolly.

In her heart, Mrs. Zhang yelled at this old man who could only get in and out, and the money was so tight that he couldn't let it leak through his fingers.

But she only dared to scold in her heart, and she didn't dare to show it on the surface. Moreover, Mrs. Wang was talking about her dissatisfaction.

Zhang's face was full of smiles: "Look at what mother said, you are Fuquan's own grandma, the ancestor of our family, who dares to say that you are not qualified."

Mrs. Wang sneered and looked at her: "Old ancestor? I thought I was a dead person in your eyes. I said that Fuquan is still young, so there is no need to rush to get married. How did you do it? Are you doing it yourself? Okay? That's all, the son is yours, you can choose whomever you want, and I don't care."

"Mother, Fuquan is fifteen this year. Why is he so young? Even if we get married now, it won't be too late to get married next year. What's the point of getting married first?" Mrs. Zhang was anxious, afraid that it was uncertain now, so the daughter of the Mo family Tomorrow will belong to someone else.

Mrs. Wang kept silent, acting as if she wanted to do whatever you wanted.

Mrs. Zhang felt angry when she saw that she didn't eat oil and salt, and looked at Wang Yuan'er who was silent at the side, and said, "Yuan'er, this is your elder brother's important matter, as an elder sister, you have to help me. "

"That's natural." Wang Yuan'er smiled, seeing Zhang's face beaming with joy, she changed the topic: "When will Second Aunt plan to meet the Mo family, and I'll help?"

Mrs. Zhang was a little unhappy when she heard it. You are still a big girl of Huanghua, how can anyone help you?

But after thinking about it, Wang Yuaner is different now. She is doing big business and knows many nobles. There are many people in the town who respect her now. Paying attention to this younger brother is good and bad for Fuquan.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang clapped her hands and said, "Second Aunt, I'm just waiting for your words. You have a lot of experience, so you must be able to tell the good from the bad."

Wang Yuan'er smiled without saying a word.

It's decided, Mrs. Zhang won't stay in the main room anymore, she has to figure out how to renovate the east room.

"Grandma, don't be angry, let the second aunt handle it herself. She chooses her own ugliness, and she can't blame anyone in the future. She is right in what she said. Now that we are engaged, we will meet again next year and the year after. Marriage is also a success." Wang Yuan'er persuaded Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang sighed: "I'm old and useless." She thought of Qing'er again, and said, "Fuquan is a man, so we have to talk about kissing, but you, and Qing'er, you are all girls." , but hurry up."

It's okay for a man to get married later, but a girl is different, they become worthless every year.

"Grandma, I know it well." Wang Yuan'er nodded with a smile, afraid that she would chase after her own affairs again, so she got up and left with an excuse.

Seeing her running away, Mrs. Wang couldn't help sighing repeatedly. When Old Man Wang came in, she heard her sigh several times.

"This leaf is about to be sighed by you, what do you think you are worried about?" He coughed a few times.

Mrs. Wang's face darkened slightly, and she said: "The second one, Fuquan is only so old, so he was in a hurry to talk about getting married. But the two maids in the eldest house don't even think about it, so I can't worry about it?"

Old man Wang frowned, and said: "Second brother and the others, let them do it. If they want to talk about kissing, they can say it. My body is also getting worse every year. It's better for Fuquan to talk about kissing earlier." Cough.

Mrs. Wang was startled, she sat down quickly to help him straighten his back, and said: "Why are you saying that, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, I know."

"It's good to know, we haven't lived for a few years, so don't worry about it, and you can see them getting married and having children, so just let go."

Mrs. Wang walked along his back and gave him a look: "You don't worry about just talking about me?"

Old man Wang choked, saying he didn't worry about it would be a lie, raising a child to be a hundred years old, and always worrying about 99, how could he not worry about it?
It's just that when the children and grandchildren grow up, they all have their own ideas, so they can't control it, and just watch from the sidelines.
