Eldest daughter

chapter 364
Wang Yuan'er rushed home but did not see Cui Yuan, he couldn't help wondering, did he return to Beijing without saying anything?

After asking, I realized that it was the second uncle who took him and Hou Biao to the teahouse.

No need for Wang Qing'er to mention the possibility of the second uncle's move, Wang Yuan'er had already guessed why the second uncle was so enthusiastic, his eyebrows could not help but frown, and his face sank.

"Lord Cui and Second Young Master are back." Sujuan came to report quickly.

Wang Yuan'er stood up and went out to meet her.

"Eldest sister looks very angry." Wang Chun'er pulled Wang Qing'er and whispered.

Wang Qing'er curled her lips and said: "If it were me, I would be angry too. What Second Uncle did, he surpassed Eldest Sister. Where can I put Eldest Sister's face?"

Wang Chun'er sighed.

Wang Yuan'er didn't care about avoiding suspicion, she directly dragged Cui Yuan into her room, and before he could speak, asked first: "My second uncle asked you to drink tea, what did you say?"

Cui Yuan looked at her with a smile: "You are so eager, I thought you were going to do something, but that's it?"

Wang Yuaner frowned: "Speaking seriously, he didn't make any rude requests, did he?"

Cui Yuan sat on the kang, leaning against a kang pillow, patted his side, and said, "Sit down and talk."

Wang Yuaner walked over.

Cui Yuan pulled her to sit down, and said: "Your second uncle wants to find an official job, so ask me to play around."

Wang Yuaner's face changed slightly: "He really mentioned it?"

"You already knew?" Cui Yuan saw her unhappy face, so he shook her hand and said, "Don't be annoyed, your second uncle wants to ask for a future, there is nothing wrong with it."

"He is in his forties, and he can marry a daughter-in-law and have grandchildren. Now he is ahead of schedule..." Wang Yuaner gritted his teeth: "Why did he dare to mention it? Where did he put me?"

"Are you unhappy? Don't be sad. I'm very happy. It proves that your second uncle regards me as one of his own."

"Why are you so stupid? He obviously took you for a fool." Wang Yuan'er glanced at him, very frustrated: "I knew that their evil intentions would never die, but I didn't expect him to seize the opportunity to mention it to you so soon. I was not prepared."

Cui Yuan laughed, and said: "Okay, I will mention it if I don't mention it, what else can I do?"

"You promised him?"

Cui Yuan nodded and said: "It's not impossible to arrange for a small official, as he said, being a county magistrate is better than Bai Ding. It's also good for you."

"He's still talking about me?" Wang Yuan'er was very angry.

"Don't worry too much, you have an uncle who is an official, and his reputation is good, and your road will not be too difficult in the future." Cui Yuan patted her hand and said.

Wang Yuan'er smiled wryly: "I know, my background is more than that big, and climbing you is indeed climbing a high branch."

"Don't let your imagination run wild." Cui Yuan said with a dark face, "Your background is not important to me, I'm just afraid that others will make a fuss about your background, and I'm afraid that you'll get into a dead end."

Wang Yuan'er pursed her lips, looked into his eyes, and leaned over.

"Just wait for me to bring the imperial decree, I will bring it soon, and we will get married at the end of the year, huh?" Cui Yuan kissed her hair and said, "You can prepare your dowry now."

Wang Yuan'er's face became hot when she heard this, she thumped him, and said angrily, "Didn't even mention it, tell me to prepare a dowry, let people know, don't shame me to death, say I hate getting married so much, I wish I could put it on a big bed Marry you!"

Cui Yuan laughed out loud, hooked her chin and kissed her: "I am in a hurry."

The two chatted for a while, then Cui Yuan was about to leave and return to Beijing.

"So fast?" Wang Yuan'er was surprised.

"Can't bear me?" Cui Yuan smiled softly, hugged her, and said: "I'm going to the paddock tomorrow, once the business over there is over, I have to go to Yunzhou, and I'll come back when the time comes, don't worry, When we get married, the days will be long."

Wang Yuan'er hummed, looked at the foreign clock on the stand again, and said, "Then I won't keep you either, lest you have to go back again, and it's not safe when it gets dark."

The two huddled together again, Wang Yuan'er sent Cui Yuan away and went back to the house, Wang Qing'er and the others dragged her to talk about what the second uncle mentioned.

"Second brother-in-law has already told us, but second uncle would dare to mention it."

Wang Yuan'er pursed her lips: "Where's your second brother-in-law? Tell him to talk."

……

old house.

Wang Er was also excitedly telling Old Man Wang and the others about what Cui Yuan should do, and he looked so excited that he was even more happy than winning any big business.

"You just mentioned it, and you didn't talk to Yuan'er first?" Old man Wang frowned.

Wang Er paused with a smile on his face: "Father, what's the problem?"

"You've done a bad job. It's better to discuss this matter with Yuan'er before bringing it up. Now that you've mentioned this matter before her, where will you put her face?" Old man Wang shook his head.

Wang Er felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, and said: "Father, I am her second uncle, an elder, and it is reasonable to surpass her. How can she do things with her nod? How can a woman handle a man's affairs? Besides, even if I tell her, she definitely won't mention it. Dad, it's better to rely on yourself than others."

Judging from Wang Yuaner's attitude on New Year's Eve, she didn't want to mention this matter by herself at all, and she certainly wouldn't help him find this job, so she might as well bring it up herself.

Sure enough, when he mentioned the benefits of being an official, Cui Yuan agreed.

Look, everyone wants a daughter-in-law with a better background, the official's niece is of course better than Bai Ding's niece!
"Then have you ever thought about it, what Master Cui would think of her? I'm afraid he might look down on her." Seeing his son's expression, Old Man Wang couldn't help shaking his head.

Speaking of this, Wang Er's expression became even more relaxed, and he said: "Father, don't worry, I think Mrs. Cui is [-]% going to marry our Yuan'er. I am afraid that this year, you will have a wedding wine." .”

Mrs. Wang, who was sitting on the side doing needlework, raised her head and asked, "How did you say that?"

Wang Er was a little proud, he said what Cui Yuan and Hou Biao had said, and said: "You said, what relationship is more intimate, isn't it just the two elders? Doesn't this mean that Master Cui intends to marry us Yuan'er."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang had a smile on her face, and said, "If that's the case, then it's Amitabha."

The solemn expression on Old Man Wang's face also dissipated a lot, he nodded and said: "If you really come to propose a marriage and make an appointment, it will be considered as a cloud, this child is as ambiguous as him, I always hang on Can't figure it out."

"That's not true." Mrs. Wang agreed very much: "Women are different from men, reputation is very important."

"So, father, you should rest assured. I'm just waiting now, and I don't know where I can put it. If it's a rich place, then I really don't have to worry about it for the rest of my life." Wang Er rubbed his hands, excited.

Old man Wang coughed twice, and said: "Don't be too happy too early, there is nothing to do with ten strokes, the higher you stand, the more painful you will fall."

Wang Er giggled twice: "Father, as long as your lord agrees, then your son's appointment as an official will be guaranteed. Who doesn't know that Lord Cui is the emperor's confidant? It's not a lip service to put your son on an errand." A touch?"

"Anyway, if you don't have the truth, don't make it public, so as not to fail in the future, it's a good thing to make people laugh. I'll talk about it later, and I'm afraid people don't know? You forgot, how did you mess up your previous errand?" Old man Wang endured I can't stop beating this son, I'm really getting carried away.

Wang Er's heart trembled, and he quickly said: "Father, don't worry about my son's trouble."

Old man Wang nodded, thought for a while, and said, "You'd better follow me and tell Yuan'er."

Wang Er was a little reluctant, but thought that once she married Cui Yuan, she would have to rely on her niece a lot in the future, so she nodded her head.

……

Wang Yuan'er had already learned about the conversation in the teahouse from Hou Biao's mouth, and she was annoyed and angry at the thick-skinned second uncle in her heart.

At that time, he heard Old Man Wang and Wang Er coming again, and his face darkened again.

"Grandpa, why are you here?" Wang Yuan'er supported the old man Wang's arm and entered the flower hall, turning a blind eye to the second uncle's flattering smile.

"It's all right at home, come and walk." Old man Wang sat down, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Where is Master Cui?"

"He has already left. There is something to do in Beijing." Wang Yuan'er said calmly.

"It's a pity, I was thinking of saying happy Chinese New Year too." Old man Wang said regretfully.

Wang Yuan'er remained silent.

"Yuan'er, I heard from your second uncle that he passed you and begged Master Cui for that errand. He is really a bit out of place. For the sake of grandpa, let him go this time." Old man Wang said something after deliberation, and then said to Wang Er: "You still don't want to pay your niece?"

Wang Er was reluctant in his heart, how could an elder make amends to a younger generation?If it gets out, what will he do in the future? Where is his authority?
But seeing old man Wang winking, and thinking of relying on this niece in the future, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Yuan'er, Second Uncle is too impatient, Second Uncle will give you an apology."

Wang Yuan'er didn't back down either, and accepted his salute squarely, drank a sip of tea, and said slowly: "What does Second Uncle say, my niece doesn't dare to be my niece. Second Uncle is very capable, I can only admire him."

What you said, how angry!
When Wang Er heard it, he said, "Yuan'er, the second uncle next to me doesn't say much, if the second uncle becomes an official, he will definitely remember you well, and when Cui Yuan comes to propose marriage, the second uncle will definitely put on a big makeup for you. "

"Then I'm really thankful to Second Uncle, and first I wish Second Uncle what he wants to come true." So far, what else does Wang Yuan'er have to say?It is useless to say anything.

Seeing that Wang Yuaner was unhappy, the old man Wang drove his son away, and said to her, "Girl Yuan, Grandpa knows that you are angry, and your second uncle also wants to make some achievements. He really became an official, how many of you When you get married, you have to be more decent... Oh, don't worry, as your second uncle said, when you get married, I will definitely stare at him and add makeup."

The corners of Wang Yuan'er's mouth twitched. She really didn't care if she added makeup or not. She was disappointed because of the selfishness of the second uncle and the others. If they really wanted to think about her, they should discuss it with her first, instead of just asking Cui Yuan to mention it. .

They are her natal family, she is not yet married, and they have already sought favor first, so what will her husband-in-law think?

Fortunately, Cui Yuan understood her, otherwise, where would she have the face to meet him?
Wang Yuan'er sighed softly, looking at Bai Xue outside, wondering where he had gone?
