Eldest daughter

Chapter 356
In view of the old man Wang's refusal, let's put down the matter of buying people to serve for the time being, and the Chinese New Year will be around, so it seems inappropriate to add people at this time.

The New Year's Eve is just two days away, and every household is busy killing chickens, ducks, and boiled pork. Because the ancestors will be worshiped early in the morning, so the sacrifices must be prepared in advance.

Wang Yuaner and his family are siblings, and Aunt Cai is a good hand, but she arranged this matter in a hurry, and Wang Yuaner and the others didn't intervene.

But I can't get involved in the kitchen, but I can get in on other things, such as posting couplets, window grilles with blessing characters, and paper-cutting.

Wang Yuan'er wrote the word "Fu" by herself. She has been writing a lot in the past two years, and she will practice calligraphy when she has free time. Now her handwriting is getting better and better, and she occasionally gets Cui Yuan's guidance, so the word "Fu" is written. Also quite atmospheric.

Wang Yuan'er wrote blessing characters and couplets, and the others were not to be outdone, and showed their housekeeping skills one after another, such as paper-cutting or drawing auspicious patterns.

Qiu Yun looked carefree, but she was very skillful, the scissors seemed to come to life in her hands, with a couple of swipes, she cut out all kinds of beautiful window grilles, with blessings, good luck, and year after year. There is more than enough, there is a bumper harvest, Sujuan and the others stared wide-eyed, clamoring to learn.

Xiao Baolai didn't know how to cut, and he didn't dare to let him hold the scissors, so he made a fuss about Wang Yuan'er wanting to write. Wang Yuan'er simply hugged him onto the stool, held his little hand, and wrote a few blessings.

Baolai was very happy with his blessing, and dragged Su Shengxing to take it to his house to post it, making everyone happy.

Compared with previous years, Wang Yuaner also bought a lot of lanterns this year. After writing the couplets, he instructed Uncle Cai to post them in the main hall and other places of the main gate. All kinds of lanterns were hung up.

When Uncle Cai finished his work, everywhere he looked was glowing red, which was very festive, and Lan'er and Xiao Baolai clapped their hands with joy.

Who doesn't like to celebrate, even Wang Yuan'er felt happy when he saw it.

"Looking at it this way, it looks like the atmosphere in a rich family's house. It suddenly has the atmosphere of the New Year." Sujuan said with a smile.

"Elder Sister, let's hang up like this during Chinese New Year from now on, it's so beautiful." Lan'er's eyes sparkled, and said: "When Xiaofen, Fangfang, and Axiang come to our house to play, they must be very happy too." She These people in the mouth are all playmates who often play with her.

"Okay, let's hang up like this from now on." Wang Yuan'er pampered her pink face.

After hanging up the lanterns, Wang Yuan'er messed up her boudoir again, pasting paper-cuts on the windows was indispensable, and she also replaced the gauze curtains in the room with red curtains, which also looked more festive.

Lying on the bed, looking at the red curtain, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.

In the past, when life was bad, how could it be so tidy. Sure enough, when life is good, people will become more extravagant.

"Where's eldest sister?"

Wang Yuan'er vaguely heard the second sister's voice, hurriedly got up from the bed, walked out, and it was indeed Chun'er, who was handing a basket to Aunt Cai.

"Why did you come here?" Wang Yuan'er asked with a smile.

"Aunt." Hou Dan saluted Wang Yuan'er solemnly like a little adult.

"Dan'er is good, your auntie and the others are cutting paper in the house, you should go over and join in the fun." Wang Yuan'er patted her head and smiled.

Hou Dan glanced at Wang Chun'er, saw her nodding, and ran happily to the room where Lan'er and the others were staying.

"Run slowly, don't fall." Wang Chun'er reminded before saying to Wang Yuan'er, "I fried Sixi balls at home, so I brought some here."

"Why don't you send it, our side will also blow it up, what about Jiu'er?"

"At home, Zhenniang is taking her with her." Wang Chun'er replied with a smile, and seeing the red lights everywhere in her mother's house, she said: "When Cai'er came in, I thought I went wrong, big sister, such a hanging lantern, but you can't see it." So lovely."

Wang Yuan'er pursed her lips and smiled: "There are still a few in the warehouse. You can hang them up after you take them back. It's auspicious and festive."

Wang Chun'er wanted to refuse, but thought of Dan'er pointing to the lantern to call it good-looking when she came in, so she nodded: "That's a good idea, and I will learn from those big families, just for fun."

Wang Yuan'er was about to answer, but saw Sujuan coming quickly, followed by a soldier.

"Miss, there are guests here."

Wang Yuan'er looked over, the soldiers, were they sent by Zhao Dali?

She had been looking forward to it for several days, but she didn't see him come back, nor did she hear from him, and she didn't know what's going on now. Now that soldiers are coming, what happened?

Wang Yuaner frowned, feeling a little worried.

"This is our eldest girl." Sujuan guided the soldier.

"Little Sanzi has met the eldest girl." The young soldier knelt down on one knee and bowed to salute.

"you are?"

"I am following Master Zhuo and Master Zhao. This time I am here to give the eldest girl a new year gift under the order of the two adults. The emperor is kind enough to keep the two adults to attend the state banquet. Afterwards, I will accompany the emperor to the royal hunting ground to hunt. Therefore, I ordered the younger one to come and give the New Year's gift." The third son briefly explained the purpose of his visit.

Hearing his intention of coming and not saying any bad news, Wang Yuan'er breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How are you two adults?"

"Thanks to the eldest girl, everything is fine. My lord has done great work in suppressing the bandits, and the emperor rewarded me with a reward." The third son grinned, showing his big white teeth, and said: "The gift that my lord entrusted to me is in the carriage outside. Miss, can someone bring it in?"

Wang Yuan'er hurriedly called Uncle Cai, and they went out together to pick him up.

The youngest son was really just here to give gifts. As soon as the thing was delivered, he ignored Wang Yuaner's persuasion and returned immediately, saying that he would return to the adults. He bought some pastries for him to eat on the way, and then sent him away.

Zhuo Fan and Zhao Dali sent a very rich New Year's gift. In addition to various supplements and medicinal materials, there were also a lot of cloth, silk, wine and cakes, and even a box of silk flowers. I heard that it was a reward from the emperor.

Wang Yuan'er felt a little uncomfortable, thinking about what the young man said, it was all sent by Zhao Dali, saying that they were not married, and they didn't need the things these women used.

But Wang Yuan'er knew that they could sell them if they didn't need them. After all, the salaries of the soldiers were not high, and they could be subsidized by selling these things, but they gave them to her instead. I wonder if it was because of her hospitality years ago?
"Sister, this pearl is really big and beautiful." Wang Qing'er, who got the news, walked in and sighed while stroking the box of pearls.

This box of beads is as big as an index finger, round and crystal clear, charming in brilliance, very precious, it is the first time she has seen such beautiful and precious beads.

"This unusual little pearl is called Nanzhu, and it is more precious than the pearls you usually see." Wang Yuan'er said with a smile: "Next year, I will find a jewelry shop and use these pearls to make a few buds. Each of us sisters will wear one." Be stubborn."

Wang Chun'er immediately said: "Sister, I don't need it, I'm already married, I keep it for you to wear."

"Second sister, you are so stupid, you can't wear jewelry after you get married? It's when you're married that you have to dress up beautifully, so that you can win my second brother-in-law's heart. Look away." Wang Qing'er clicked her tongue, and picked a rose flower from the box of silk flowers and put it on her bun, saying: "Look, how beautiful it is."

"What nonsense, you are so charming, you don't have to scare your second sister." Wang Yuan'er gave her a look.

"Your second brother-in-law is not that kind of person." Wang Chun'er disagreed and said, she still knew who Hou Biao was.

Wang Qing'er stuck out her tongue, and said: "Aren't I just making a metaphor? It's said in the scriptures that women are the ones who please themselves. In the past, we had a difficult life, and we couldn't even buy a headband. Now we have conditions." , Of course you can’t treat yourself badly. Eldest sister, don’t you think? Money is a foreign thing, whether you bring it with you when you are born, or if you don’t take it with you when you die, just spend what you need.”

"It's just your tongue." Wang Yuan'er said angrily, "It's obvious that you love beauty, but you have to say such a big truth."

Wang Qing'er giggled, picked a big peony from the silk flower box and pinned it on her bun, and said: "I'm also telling the truth, if others don't tell you, just look at Second Aunt, when is she not wearing jewelry?" Is it? That’s what I made in the past two years, and I just lost a lot of jewelry.”

"So, you are right?" Wang Chun'er laughed.

"Of course, if we wear it now, it's our own dignity. In the future, we can pass it on to our family and make money for ourselves. If there is something that can't be turned around, we can still get money. That's a lot of money." Wang Qinger said.

"It's done, it's done, you're a money fan, and your share is indispensable." Wang Yuan'er gave her an annoyed look.

"Hee hee, then I'll wait, thank you, big sister." Wang Qing'er hugged Wang Yuan'er affectionately and kissed each other, making the two sisters laugh.

After laughing for a while, Wang Yuan'er sat down, looked at the things on the table, and said, "I didn't expect Dali and the others to send gifts. I always feel ashamed of receiving them."

"It's because you treat them well, sister, so you can repay this kindness."

"That's right, this is also you coming and going." Wang Qing'er echoed the second sister's words.

The corners of Wang Yuaner's lips curled up slightly. Some people are like this. If you treat him well, he will not forget you. There are also some people. If you treat him well, he will take it for granted, and it is not enough.

In the end, it all depends on the character of the person.

And who would have thought that the bearded head who killed people without batting an eye in the previous life would become a military master in this life, and would return favors?

Wang Yuan'er sighed, looked at Qing'er and said, "Call Qiutang to register these things in the warehouse. You should also learn a little bit. Don't let the housekeeper take care of you in the future."

No matter how thick-skinned Wang Qing'er was, she understood what she meant at this time, her pretty face blushed, and she stomped her feet to find Qiutang without mentioning it.

But Wang Chun'er smiled and asked, "I don't know when the Yan family will come to hire you."

"It said it was coming in February."

"This hot girl is about to get married, sister, you have to hurry up!" Wang Chun'er sighed.

Thinking of Cui Yuan's words, Wang Yuaner's heart fluttered, and he wondered if his side was going well!
