Eldest daughter

Chapter 347
In Changle Town, Wang Yuan'er also participated in some banquets hosted by Yuanwai's wives, so she knew a little about such banquets. In addition, her godmother taught her a lot in the past, and Aunt Cai and the others would also give advice, so for Being a guest has gradually become familiar.

The county magistrate's wife is a very rich and handsome woman in her forties. She was waiting in the flower hall, but when she heard the report from the servants, the county magistrate Shi went to the gate to welcome the guests in person, and asked her to come along, so she hurriedly Busy to meet.

It turned out that it was County Magistrate Shi who hurried to greet Cui Yuan when he heard that Cui Yuan was also coming.

The new emperor has ministers and confidants, and this Cui Yuan is one of them. It is more beneficial to curry favor with him than curry favor with others.Besides, Cui Yuan's official rank is higher than him, now that he has condescended to come here, he naturally wants to greet him in person.

And the one who came with Cui Yuan was Wang Yuaner, so Mrs. Shi also had to go to greet her. As for the female relatives, naturally the wife in charge accompanied her.

I heard that Miss Wang is also very good, she worshiped the second wife of the Song family as her godmother, although the relationship with this Cui Yuan is still unclear, but it is said that they are very harmonious, no matter what, they have to establish a good relationship with her.

Also, isn't there a Mr. Zhao Qian from Changle Town, who is Wu Tanhua, who is now the confidant of the young general General Zhuo. When General Zhuo came back this time, he also went to the Wang family to stay as a guest?
Wen has Cui Yuan, the emperor's confidant, Shangzi Song San as his brother-in-law, and his wife as the daughter of a general. Now, he has General Zhuo and President Zhao Qian as friends. Big girls are people who can't afford to offend!
The more he thought about it, County Magistrate Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his face smiled like a flower: "Xiaguan Shi Zhencong pays homage to Master Cui. Your Excellency has come from a long way, and I am not welcoming you."

"Master Shi." Cui Yuan smiled and nodded.

Wang Yuan'er also supported Sujuan's hand to get out of the carriage, and came to him, with a just right smile on his lips, curtseying: "Master Shi, Mrs. Shi."

"Is this Miss Wang? I've been looking forward to your coming for a long time. Look at this, you are really a beautiful person." Mrs. Shi raised her smiling face, took Wang Yuan'er's hand with a smile, and praised her.

It was already an extremely cold winter day, and Wang Yuan'er wore a silver-red satin skirt, a fox fur and white fur cape, combed a swallow bun, lowered her eyebrows and smiled slightly, looking very generous and docile.

It is said that she is just a girl of ordinary background, but from this point of view, her temperament is not bad.

"Mrs. Shi is absurdly praised, and she can't afford to be a girl." Wang Yuan'er smiled modestly.

"Since Mr. Shi took office, I have never congratulated you. Recently, I have heard that the vagrants in the surrounding area are becoming more and more rampant. I am concerned about the safety of the people, and I also want to hear your opinion. Just in time, I heard Mrs. Shi invited Mr. Wang The girl came to be a guest, and I have some friendship with Miss Wang, so I just came together. Master Shi, I came here uninvited, did I not interrupt you?" Cui Yuan said with his hands behind his back.

The new magistrate of Shi County is also a middle-aged man with a round figure. After hearing Cui Yuan's words, he wiped the sweat from his forehead again, bowed in fear and trepidation and said: "What is your lord saying? This mansion is full of splendor, how could it be so abrupt?"

Cui Yuan smiled, gave up half of his body, and introduced Zhao Dali: "Master Shi, this is General Zhao Qian of the Northwest Army, and sit down with General Zhuo."

Shi County Magistrate was busy and clasped his hands again: "Master Zhao."

Zhao Dali has been in the army for the past few years, and even when he saw some people with higher rank than himself, they were all members of the army. He didn't have much contact with civilian officials. I returned a salute.

"My lord, it's windy at this door, please invite Master Cui into the study to talk!" Mrs. Shi reminded.

"Yes, look at me, my lord, please." Magistrate Shi hurriedly led the way ahead.

……

The banquets were divided into male and female seats. Mrs. Shi led Wang Yuan'er to the flower hall of the women's family members, and the process was to drink tea, eat seats and listen to operas.

Many wives had already gathered in the flower hall, seeing Mrs. Shi leading Wang Yuaner in, they all stood up.

Wang Yuan'er glanced at them, and she recognized some people, they were all from the same town, while some didn't, and through Mrs. Shi's introduction, they were all the wives of decent families.

To Wang Yuaner's surprise, she also saw Mrs. Yan.

"Mrs. Yan." Wang Yuan'er saluted her with a smile.

"I heard that there is a young lady Wang coming from Changle Town. I was wondering if it was you, and I guessed it right!" Mrs. Yan took her hand with a smile and boasted: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Miss Wang!" She's even more beautiful!"

"Madam Yan is also getting younger and younger." Wang Yuan'er replied with a smile.

"You guys even know it?" Mrs. Shi was a little surprised.

Mrs. Yan and Wang Yuan'er looked at each other and smiled, the former said: "There is also some fate."

Madam Shi raised her eyebrows.

Madam Yan looked at Wang Yuan'er again and said, "Is the third girl okay? I just thought, I will come to your house sometime. When is it convenient for you?"

There was a temptation in her eyes that only the two of them could understand, and this was also to express to Wang Yuan'er their Yan family's attitude towards the last meeting.

Wang Yuan'er's eyes flashed, and a smile spread across her face: "Mrs. Yan appreciates your face, and I will be waiting for you at any time."

Mrs. Yan laughed even more happily, and she simply took her to sit with her. When Mrs. Shi saw her, she joked, "You guys are so good, I'm even a little bit apprehensive."

"Miss Wang is indeed a wonderful person, you will know Mrs. Shi in the future." Mrs. Yan said with a smile.

Wang Yuan'er pretended to be shy, and said: "At least you don't want to expose me, if one day it turns out to be two different people, that would be scary."

After hearing this, several people burst into laughter.

There were quite a few wives present, seeing that the county magistrate's wife was very polite to Wang Yuan'er, they couldn't help wondering what was so great about this girl that even a county magistrate's wife was so polite to her.

Since they are all in the same county, they are more or less acquainted, so after a little inquiring, they will naturally find out where Wang Yuaner came from.

It turned out that there was a nobleman to help.

Now, many people looked at Wang Yuaner differently.

You must know that most of the people here are the wives of merchants, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants. The status of merchants is at the bottom. Naturally, they also want to make more dignitaries, so that they can erase their status from the name of merchants, so as to improve a little bit.

As for Wang Yuaner, both civil and military officials are friendly and friendly officials, so of course he can't be underestimated.

Of course, in this world, there is no one person who can be liked by everyone, and naturally there are many people who dislike Wang Yuaner.

"At this age, I haven't been engaged yet, but I just go in and out with a man. I don't know why, and I'm not afraid of others talking."

"That's right, I don't know clearly, I don't have a name, I don't have a role, this is because I didn't have a mother's upbringing, if there is, can I still be like this?"

In the hut of Shifu's family, there were two gorgeously dressed women talking disdainfully about Wang Yuaner's right and wrong.

"I heard that Mr. Cui is from a famous family, so he definitely won't marry a mountain woman as his wife? I think she will be a concubine at most in the future."

"Concubine? If that's the case, then Mrs. Shi will be flattering her for nothing." One of them sneered.

The two were talking excitedly, and they didn't hear anyone push the door of the hut behind them.

Until they heard a cough, the faces of the two of them immediately became as if they were stained with feces, not to mention how smelly and ugly they were.

"Unexpectedly, the two ladies still have such a habit. They like to gossip in the latrine. Is it really that the words are smelly?" Wang Yuan'er dropped a sentence lightly, and walked past the two with a smile.

The two watched her leave, and after a long time, they squeezed out a sentence: "Why is she here? Tell me, will she take the opportunity to sue?"

"Stop talking, go back to your table."

The two returned to the banquet anxiously, looked towards Wang Yuan'er, saw her lying in Madam Shi's ear and said something, and looked over.

Mrs. Shi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and looked over, the faces of the two of them turned black.After the banquet, it was time to listen to the opera, Mrs. Shi specially handed over the opera list to Wang Yuaner, and asked her to order two.

Wang Yuan'er didn't like to listen to operas, so he ordered two "The Female Consort" and "Single-knife Club" according to the occasion.

"Most of the girls like The West Chamber, but the eldest girl is different from ordinary people. She really is a heroine. I heard that she is also the eldest daughter of the family?" Mrs. Shi took a look and said with a smile.

Wang Yuan'er said, "I don't usually listen to operas, and I don't like those who are sad and lingering, so I just order a few."

Mrs. Shi smiled, and asked her servants to deliver the playlist to the troupe. While chatting, listening to the play and having tea, the time passed slowly like this.

At Shen Shifen, people left one after another, and Wang Yuaner also wanted to leave. Cui Yuan also sent someone over at this time, saying that it was time to leave.

Wang Yuan'er couldn't wish for it, she was really tired from all these entertainments, especially after hearing those words today, Cui Yuan just dozed off and brought a pillow here.

Mrs. Shi sent her away and arranged for all the guests to leave, then returned to the main room, her master was already sitting on the grand master's chair shaking his legs.

"Master, how did the discussion in the study go today?" Mrs. Shi asked while serving tea herself.

Lord Shi opened his slightly closed eyes, and said: "This Cui Yuan is not a thing in the pool, although he is young, he is very experienced in dealing with the world, no wonder he is favored by the emperor."

"Oh? Then can you make friends with this person?" Mrs. Shi asked again.

Master Shi gave her another look, and said: "What can we make friends with and not? It's whether we can climb up!"

Mrs. Shi sneered: "I'm not talking about it for a while."

"Don't talk about me, what about your side, is there any trouble?" Lord Shi asked again.

Mrs. Shi shook her head, then remembered what the servants had quietly reported, and said, "It's the Ye family and the Yuan family who said..."

She told about what someone in the toilet said about Wang Yuaner's right and wrong.

Master Shi frowned when he heard this, and said with a calm face: "From now on, you can leave the wives of these two families out of business."

Mrs. Shi was slightly startled: "What does the master mean?"

"You have also seen today. Master Cui's attitude towards that girl. In my opinion, although the two of them are not engaged yet, it is certain that Master Cui has thoughts on this girl. Can this girl be offended?" The adult took a sip of tea and said, "No matter what, Miss Wang, you just need to move around more."

Mrs. Shi quickly responded, and secretly went through her words and deeds today, and was relieved when she found that Wang Yuaner was not unhappy.
