Eldest daughter

Chapter 319 Second Aunt Steals a Man
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, every household set up altars, worshiped the goddess of the moon, hung up funny lanterns, and passed the Mid-Autumn Festival in a lively manner.

Wang Yuan'er's family was no exception. This year there was Uncle Cai's family, which made it even more lively. There was no distinction between masters and servants. They had a reunion dinner and worshiped the moon god.

In the old house, Mrs. Zhang finally paid off the debt with the money from the grain sale, which means that she has settled on the important matter in her heart, and seeing that everything is calm, she celebrates the festival with peace of mind. The gloomy face in the past is swept away. , smiling.

The only grievance was that Boy Liang took several taels of money from her, and she dared not refuse to give it as a cover-up fee, for fear that the boy would blow up the matter.

Although no one has noticed that the grain in the kiln is gone for the time being, but so much grain has been sold secretly by herself, Mrs. Zhang is still a little guilty, so that when Wang Yuaner asked about her natal family, she also missed a few times. shoot.

"Looking at the smiles on Second Aunt's face, I think it would be great to have my in-laws." Wang Yuan'er said.

Feeling guilty, Mrs. Zhang avoided her eyes and said, "After taking a few doses of medicine, I can get out of bed, and I will take care of it slowly."

The corner of Wang Yuan'er's mouth twitched slightly, and she didn't talk about this topic again, but talked to Mrs. Wang about Wang Chun'er's plan to have a baby.

Mrs. Zhang didn't get involved, she was afraid that Wang Yuan'er would talk to her again, and she was even more afraid of revealing something, so she went out with an excuse.

Seeing this, Wang Yuan'er couldn't help raising her eyebrows. This second aunt was always a good person, so she just left?
But I don't know, Mrs. Zhang has a ghost in her heart!

It is said that if you don't do bad things in your life, you won't be surprised if you knock on the door in the middle of the night, but if you do bad things, you will feel guilty, and you always feel that when you walk outside, people will look at you with different meanings.

Mrs. Zhang thinks so.

Walking on the street, she always felt that someone was pointing at her, talking in a low voice, and even laughing, but when she looked over, she stopped talking, which was very strange.

"Big sister, weigh me some melon seeds." Mrs. Zhang finally couldn't hold back, and went to the grocery store to find a reason to inquire.

"Hey." Mrs. Zheng glanced at her and walked into the back of the cabinet.

"Cai'er, I saw you talking to Mrs. Mo, and you left when I came. What are you talking about? Tell me to listen?" Mrs. Zhang grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the bag she put out, and licked Get up, while pretending to ask casually.

Mrs. Zheng shook her hands, and said with a sneer: "Ah, it's nothing, just gossip, it's nothing."

Mrs. Zhang looked at it carefully, and her expression turned a little bit bad: "Big sister, you are also very familiar with our Wang family, why are you here without telling me about something?"

"It's nothing." Mrs. Zheng smiled wryly.

Seeing that she didn't intend to say anything, Mrs. Zhang snorted, gave a few copper coins, grabbed the melon seeds that were weighed and left.

Mrs. Zheng watched her go, and then she let out a sigh of relief, how dare she speak the rumors outside, I'm afraid Mrs. Zhang will smash her shop!

"Are you leaving?" Aunt Huang from the next door came over and pouted at Zhang's back.

"Well, tell me, this rumor is not true, I think she doesn't know at all." Madam Zheng frowned.

Aunt Huang snorted: "The so-called "no wind, no waves, no waves, no wind, no waves, this is passed on in a precise way, who knows if it is true or not?"

Mrs. Zheng sighed, and said: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, if such a scandal is spread, it will be shameful and thrown home."

"That's not it." Aunt Huang echoed, and said mysteriously: "Do you think the second room of the Wang family has recruited some kind of evil spirit in recent years? In recent years, disasters have happened one after another. The one who survived is simply the upper body of the moldy god, and it never stops."

"It's just like what you say."

They are all in the same town, and the so-called scandal has been spread for thousands of miles. Everyone knows what happened to the Wang family in the past few years, and there is nothing to hide.

"I think the big house is different. The days are getting more and more prosperous. This is completely two extremes with the second house." Aunt Huang couldn't help sighing when she thought of Wang Yuan'er and his children.

Mrs. Zheng and Wang Yuan'er are better friends, so she said: "How do you know if this is a feng shui turn? To be honest, a few years ago, everyone saw what the Wang family's big house was like, especially Wang and his wife. Those who went there one after another during the year, wasn’t it difficult for a few children back then? It’s pitiful to look at, but now it’s the end of all hardships, everyone envies.”

"You're right, I'm afraid there will be even greater fortunes in the future!" Aunt Huang nodded.

……

Wang Yuan'er didn't know that outsiders were talking about the two of them. At this time, she was sitting with Cui Yuan and having tea, talking about the current situation.

"You mean, there might really be a fight at the border?" Wang Yuan'er looked at Cui Yuan in astonishment.

How many years have there been no wars, and suddenly, how could there be a war?
"The Tartars are greedy. Seeing that the new emperor of our country has been on the throne for two years, they thought Jinshang was a cat, and formed a large army to approach the border, so they were ready to move." Cui Yuan sneered: "Jinshang is the former war god, how could he? If we are afraid of them, if there is a war, our Northern Dynasty may not necessarily lose."

"Don't talk about it, you really know how to fight? When will you fight?" Wang Yuan'er turned pale.

"It's just a small fight now, don't worry, I can't get here." Cui Yuan shook her hand and found that it was very cold. How can there be more things?"

Wang Yuan'er smiled wryly, and said angrily, "I'm just a little woman, so I'm afraid of war when I hear about it."

"Don't be afraid, everything depends on me." Cui Yuan patted her hand.

"Then if there is a war, will you collect food?" Wang Yuan'er asked again.

"Not for a while, because there are granaries everywhere. As long as the granaries are full, there is no need to collect from the people. So now the imperial court has sent many officials to check the granaries."

Over the past dynasties, granaries have been built to store grain for emergencies, because in case of war or disaster, granaries will be opened for disaster relief, and if there is not enough, they will be collected from the people.

And if the war is longer, it will be more unfavorable to the common people, because the soldiers have to eat, and there is grain in the granary, but they will not be able to support it after a long time, so they must ask the common people for food.

Moreover, in the granaries everywhere, there will inevitably be hamster mice, and now it depends on who is unlucky and becomes the hamster mouse.

Wang Yuaner heaved a sigh of relief, clasped his hands together and recited a sentence: "I hope the granary is so full that I can't put my hand in it, Amitabha!"

Cui Yuan laughed and said, "I think you are becoming more and more like a little old woman."

Wang Yuan'er glared at him, and blurted out: "Then why don't you hurry up and marry me, or I'll be old soon."

As soon as the words came out, she regretted it, and quickly covered her mouth, her face turned into a liver color.

And Cui Yuan let out a tea laugh, pointing at her and laughing loudly.

Wang Yuan'er was ashamed and annoyed, stomping her feet and was about to get up and run out.

It's really embarrassing, why did she say such shameless words?

God, just die!
Cui Yuan grabbed her with quick eyes and hands, and said with a smile, "Where is the little thing going?"

Wang Yuan'er struggled a few times, and said angrily, "Don't let me go yet."

"Don't let go." Cui Yuan smiled lowly, and said: "Who just said that you had the cheek to ask me to marry her? Are you shy now?"

"You still say!" Wang Yuan'er stared, thought for a while, and decided to go all out, and said: "I am also right, my godmother said, if you are unreliable, find me a good husband gone."

Anyway, she didn't have much restraint in front of him anymore, the two of them slept in the same bed together before, so there was nothing wrong with saying something shameless.

"Who dares." Cui Yuan pulled her to sit down, stretched her hair behind her ears, and said, "It's not that I don't want to marry you early, but it's a time of trouble, and the emperor is also anxious." The forehead is rotten. I heard that they don’t even set foot in the harem. Those beautiful girls in Xinna are suffering. They try their best to wait for the emperor every day. You say, the emperor is not close to women, I want to be at this juncture If I mention this, I'm afraid he will take the opportunity to threaten me to go to the border!"

He has been with the emperor for many years, and he understands his temperament a little bit. The man himself is having a hard time, and he certainly won't make it so easy for him.

Wang Yuan'er was startled, and said: "How could this be? Don't you just take care of the Shibo Department? Why are there so many things? I went to Jizhou before. Is there no one for the emperor to use? I don't understand, you are both What job do you have?"

"Your series of questions are like firecrackers. Which one should I answer?" Cui Yuan smiled slightly: "Although the emperor has been on the throne for two years, this position has not yet been secured. He needs reliable people to help him. Don't worry. , I am not interested in officialdom, if you don't like it, after a few years, I will ask him for a favor to be a farmer, how about farming and weaving with you?"

Wang Yuan'er blushed: "It's too early to say this now, how can there be such a young Tian Weng."

"That's what makes people envious. The officialdom is intriguing. If you stay there for a long time, people will die sooner." Cui Yuan took her hand and said, "I want to save my life to accompany you for many years."

"Sweet mouth and smooth tongue." Wang Yuaner's heart was as sweet as honey.

Seeing her shy look, Cui Yuan really felt itchy in his heart, thinking that she was eighteen, and it would not be a good thing to procrastinate, did he really want to ask the emperor for an order to marry her quickly.

The two were talking, when Chen Shu walked in suddenly, glanced at Wang Yuan'er, and whispered something in Cui Yuan's ear.

"What's the matter? But do you need me to avoid it?" Seeing that something was wrong, Wang Yuan'er couldn't help standing up, thinking that they were going to say something that was inconvenient to publicize.

"You don't have to avoid it, it's not my business, it's you, cough, it's the old house's business." Cui Yuan said.

Wang Yuaner was taken aback, what about the old house?

Cui Yuan nodded to Chen Shu, and the latter said: "Just now when I came back from there, the second master Wang caught the second wife in the house over there and scolded him, saying that the second wife stole a man!"

Wang Yuan'er staggered when she heard it: "What, my second aunt stole a man?"
