Eldest daughter

Chapter 353 Come to Say Goodbye
As the winter gets colder and colder, the taste of the new year becomes more and more intense. The children on the streets of Changle Town have already started to set off firecrackers, and there are more people coming and going to buy new year's goods on the street.

As the saying goes, marrying a daughter-in-law is a good way to celebrate the new year. As the new year approaches, there are several families in the town who are eager to get married and marry a daughter-in-law. It's good to make friends, so I also went to several wedding banquets, big or small.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, good news came that most of the horse thieves in the nearby mountains had been wiped out. Wang Yuaner was overjoyed and worried about Zhao Dali.

On the second day after Mrs. Yan and his party came to the door that day, he was summoned by Zhuo Fan. Because he received the imperial order to suppress the bandits, he did not delay, packed up and set off on the road.

Now that the suppression of bandits is over, I don't know if I can come back for the New Year.

Wang Yuan'er already regarded Zhao Dali as a younger brother in her heart, and besides, he had no other relatives in Changle Town, so she asked them to clean the house where Zhao Dali used to live.

It was almost the New Year's Eve, and Wang Yuan'er was completely free, leaning on the window and looking at the white snow on the roof outside the window, and seeing Sujuan walking in the yard outside with a sewing basket in her arms, she remembered what this girl was thinking.

"Sujuan." Wang Yuaner beckoned to her.

Sujuan was taken aback for a moment, seeing that Wang Yuan'er was calling her, she trotted in quickly.

"Sit." Wang Yuan'er pointed to the side of the kang, took the tea bowl and poured a bowl of tea for her herself.

Sujuan was overwhelmed with flattery, and took a sip in fear and trepidation, with a question mark in her heart, what's wrong with the eldest girl?
"I still remember that Sujuan and your family came to our house at the beginning of this year, right? In the blink of an eye, it's been almost a year, and the days go by so fast." Wang Yuaner said with a smile.

That's right, it's been almost a year in the blink of an eye, Sujuan is a little dazed, when she came to Wang's house, she used to look down on this small family, but after a long time, she really regarded Wang Yuan'er as their own The master's family, until now, has a new slave and maidservant, and they feel the crisis, and they start to want to fight.

Sujuan laughed, people, no matter where you go, you will inevitably fight over words.

"This year, Sujuan, you have always followed me around. To be honest, you and Aunt Cai have taught me a lot, and I am extremely grateful." Wang Yuaner laughed.

Sujuan's heart trembled a little, she hurriedly put down her tea bowl as if she was about to kneel, and said: "Miss is serious, this is what we should do."

"Don't kneel down, we've been together for so long, you still don't know my temper, just sit and talk, I've been busy for so long all year round, and I'm just sneaking away for a few days." Wang Yuan'er pursed her lips and chuckled, pointing to her to get up.

Sujuan sat down again with some anxiety, but only sat on the lower half with her buttocks, while peeking at Wang Yuaner.

"Our Wang family is just a small family. Even if you have servants to support them, it is not the rules of the noble family after all. Therefore, I don't have any hierarchy in my heart for the girls who serve you."

Sujuan was startled: "Girl..."

"You've seen how many things are going on in the family. Master Cui sent Qiutang and the others, and I appreciate it. I'm not the girl who was pampered and brought up. It's enough for the two of you to serve me. That's why I let Qiutang The two followed, but they didn't abandon you."

"Girl, I..." Sujuan was a little shy, and her eyes were slightly red.

"I've also thought about it. In the future, I will definitely marry someone. I will definitely take Qiutang and the two of us to my future husband's house. You will be fifteen and sixteen this year, right? Have you ever thought about it? If in the future I Are you willing to come with me when you get married? Or do you have other plans?" Wang Yuan'er asked.

"Miss, do you still want me to serve you?" Sujuan was full of surprise.

Wang Yuan'er smiled and said intentionally: "You are my girl, don't you think it is cheaper for others?" Without waiting for her to reply, he said again: "Now you have seen the personnel arrangement at home, Su Li, I think she will follow Lan'er in the future , As for your parents, they will naturally stay here as old people, and so will your younger brother, they are sincere to my Wang family and Baolai, and Baolai will not lose them in the future."

Sujuan quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss."

"Get up." Wang Yuan'er raised her hand slightly and asked, "So, I still want to ask you what you mean. If you are willing to follow, then you will follow in the future. Qing'er also needs a dowry. If you are willing to go to her It's fine there too, and the rules are all according to the first-class servant girl's share. If you don't want to, then you can stay in Wang's house. Your parents will be around. In the future, if you have a favorite man and your mother's family, you can also lift her up. Start getting married."

Wang Yuan'er's words blocked her way, especially the last words, which made Sujuan kill the thoughts that she shouldn't have in her heart.

As early as when her mother told her, Sujuan had already started thinking that she still wanted to follow Wang Yuaner.

Thinking of this, she plucked up her courage and said, "If the big girl doesn't think I'm stupid, I, I still want to follow you, girl."

Following Wang Yuaner, the situation should be bigger in the future, right?
"That's good, then you still follow the third girl and help her embroider the dowry. On my side, for the time being, there is no need for three people to circle around. We will wait for Qing'er's affairs. In the future, you Go back to my room to take care of things." Wang Yuan'er nodded.

Sujuan knelt down again, and said happily, "Thank you, miss."

"Go down."

Sujuan just got up and bowed her knees again and went out.

Wang Yuan'er shook her head with a chuckle, and she couldn't help but sigh, if people can be satisfied so easily, it would be considered a blessing.

Qiutang came in with a tray, on which was a bowl of steaming black soup, the bitter taste could be smelled from far away.

Wang Yuaner frowned.

"Miss, what good has happened to that girl Sujuan? I think she looks very happy." He even saluted her for the first time, and called Sister Qiutang.

"It's nothing, just chat for a few words." Wang Yuan'er smiled.

Qiutang didn't pay much attention to it, and put the tray in her hand on the small table on the kang, saying: "This medicine has just been boiled, it's cold, and a lot of heat has dissipated after walking from the kitchen." She used it again Touching the side of the bowl with his hand, he said: "The temperature is just right, girl, let's drink it while it's hot."

The bitter taste so close at hand made Wang Yuan'er couldn't help but make a bitter face, and said, "How long do you have to drink this?"

Qiutang smiled lightly, and said: "Naturally, drink until the girl recovers."

Every time Wang Yuan'er came back, her lower abdomen hurt and her body was cold. In the past, she endured everything, but after Qiutang came, she took her pulse and asked her carefully. False, that's why it's like this.

No, after checking the pulse, Qiutang prescribed a prescription to help her recuperate. There was a bowl of such bitter medicine every day.

"It would be great if it could be made into pills!" Wang Yuan'er glanced at the dark bowl of soup with distaste, took a gulp of it resignedly, and quickly took a candied fruit and threw it into his mouth. Vaguely said: "Pills are easy to swallow, this is too painful!"

Qiutang laughed, this big girl is also funny, she is not afraid of any hard job, but she has nothing to do with drinking this bitter medicine.

"Pharmaceutical meatballs require a pill furnace, and I have not learned the art well, so I haven't been able to make meatballs yet." Qiutang laughed.

Wang Yuan'er swallowed the candied fruit, only to feel that the bitterness in his mouth had gone a lot, and said, "I'm just saying, don't take it to heart."

She knew that with a cold, it would be more difficult to conceive a child in the future, so no matter how bitter the medicine was, she would drink it obediently. Whoever let the child be a big deal, her own body is also a big deal!

"Don't tell me the girl, I also want to study more on this. When I study it well, I will naturally make pills, and the girl will not suffer!"

Not only did Wang Yuan'er not look happy, but her eyes widened: "Could it be that I still have time to drink this medicine?"

Qiutang smiled: "No, the girl's body is not too bad, she can be recuperated after a while, and she doesn't need to drink for a long time."

Only then did Wang Yuan'er pat his chest, panting and said, "I'm going to scare you to death."

Qiu Tang smiled lightly, the master and servant talked for a while, Qiu Yun walked in and said that it was Cui Yuan who had come.

Cui Yuan didn't go to the flower hall to wait. Knowing that she was in the house, he simply followed her. Qiutang and Qiutang tactfully walked to the door.

Cui Yuan glanced at the medicine bowl that had not been confiscated, and seeing the black medicine juice on it, he couldn't help frowning: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Wang Yuan'er blushed, and said, "No, this is the medicine Qiutang prescribed to recuperate the body."

"Since it's not, what should we do?" Cui Yuan was puzzled.

"Uh, it's something about my daughter's house!" Wang Yuan'er was ashamed and angry.

Cui Yuan was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and snickered, "What about that?"

Wang Yuan'er blushed like paper, glared at him, and changed the subject: "What are you doing here?"

"There are still a few days before Chinese New Year, I have to go back to the capital, and I'm here to say goodbye to you." Cui Yuan said.

Wang Yuan'er felt a little disappointed when she heard this, but she also knew that it was impossible, so she said, "Then when will you come back? Our family has a regular treat on the eighth day of the new year." Cui Yuan thought for a while, and said: "Maybe we won't be able to make it in time , I heard that this year's Chinese New Year will go hunting."

Wang Yuan'er frowned, and said: "Then you should be careful." He muttered again, what kind of hunting is it in winter.

Cui Yuan has excellent hearing ability, so he chuckled: "Why, you can't bear to part with me?"

"Who can't bear you anymore." Wang Yuan'er gave him a sharp look.

Cui Yuan sat up, embraced her, ignored her struggle, forced her head on his chest, patted her on the back, and said: "I will definitely ask the emperor for this favor during the Chinese New Year, you rest assured."

Wang Yuan'er nodded, feeling both sweet and uneasy. Will such a favor be easily obtained?I don't know if she was thinking too much or what, but she always felt that their affairs would not go as smoothly as he said.

Sighing softly, Wang Yuan'er played with the button buttons on his clothes, waiting for so long from left to right, and waited if it didn't work out.
