Eldest daughter

Chapter 378 Quite a Change
The days passed by without any alarm.

At the end of February and the beginning of March, the Yan family finally came and sent several wedding dates for Wang Yuaner and the others to choose.

Wang Yuan'er married Mrs. Wang, and the second day of June was an auspicious day for men and women, so the wedding date of Wang Qing'er and Yan Kuan was officially set. The two agreed that as soon as the April Festival came, the dowry would come in May.

The divorce period is only three months. Wang Qing'er's dowry has been roughly set long ago, and what needs to be done now is to perfect it.

Wang Yuan'er made a long list, adding and subtracting in the same way as Wang Qing'er, to see if there were any omissions. After two days of calculations, he finally sorted out the entire dowry list.

"When the Yan family comes to give the big gift, we can make adjustments based on their dowry list." Wang Yuan'er said with a smile.

"Sister, I don't think there is any need to adjust the dowry list, it's decent enough, you can accept the dowry from the Yan family, and keep it for Baolai in the future." Wang Qing'er said.

"Baolai is only so old, so use the present to save him a betrothal gift." Wang Yuan'er smiled angrily.

Wang Qing'er came close to her, resting her head on her shoulder, wrapping her hands around her arms, rubbing against her like a puppy.

"What's wrong?"

"Elder Sister, these days go by too fast. In the blink of an eye, I'm going to get married. Eldest Sister, I really don't want to marry, and I can't bear to part with you." Wang Qing'er said quietly.

"Who used to think about other people's bride all the time, and only wanted that kind of decent and festive one? Now they are hypocritical with the elder sister?" Wang Yuan'er was reluctant in her heart, but she joked.

"Didn't you know that at that time? It's nice to be at home, so what's the point of going to someone else's house? Look at the second aunt, those new wives? Hey." Wang Qing'er was a little panicked.

Wang Yuan'er has no way to refute this, indeed, if she is married, she belongs to someone else's family, depending on the face of Wenggu and Sister-in-Law, how could she feel at ease in her natal family when she is a girl?
You don't need to look at anyone, just look at the previous life, you know the life she lived when she married Landlord Li to fill the house. Is that the life of a human being?

"It's inevitable that a male university should marry and a female university should marry. No one can escape. If you don't marry, do you still want to twist your hair and become an aunt to cultivate Taoism?" Wang Yuan'er sighed softly and comforted her: "Fortunately, the Yan family It can be regarded as pure, so I think Yan Kuan is someone who can love others, after you get married, serve Weng Gu, be friendly to sister-in-law, and have a clear conscience, and you will always see your kindness."

Wang Qing'er nodded, but didn't tell her, because she always felt uneasy.

"Miss, Mrs. Chen is here." Qiu Yun came in to report.

Wang Yuan'er nodded: "Let her wait in the flower hall first."

Qiuyun took the order and went out.

Seeing Wang Qinger's questioning look, Wang Yuan'er smiled and said, "You will get married in three months. The dowry includes a shop and property, and the Yan family is also a scholarly family. After you get married, it is not easy to take care of yourself, so This dowry is naturally needed. Mrs. Chen is a traitor, I will ask her to help you find a dowry for you."

That was the case, Wang Qing'er was grateful in her heart, but felt that it was too grand, the second sister would have nothing at that time.

"Eldest sister, is this too different? When the second sister got married, I wasn't as busy as I was." She asked a little uneasily.

Wang Yuan'er smiled and brushed the fine strands of hair behind her ears, looked at her ruddy pretty face and said, "You don't have to feel uneasy, when your second sister got married, the family was not well-off, now our family Well, the specifications will naturally be raised. When Lan'er and Baolai get married in the future, the specifications may be even higher. At that time, don't say that you are partial to the big sister, we will all eat with the money bag!"

"Then when the elder sister gets married, the specifications will be higher than ours. Don't worry, I won't be jealous." Wang Qing'er joked.

Wang Yuan'er glared at her angrily, then pulled her back: "Come on, let's go see Mrs. Chen."

……

The wedding date was set, and Wang Qing'er never left home. Wang Yuan'er also specially ordered Qiutang to take care of her body, with constant medicinal meals every day, and various skin care treatments, to make her even more beautiful and delicate.

Wang Qing'er has a pair of red phoenix eyes, which are seductive eyes for the older generation, but too coquettish and seductive for women.For this reason, Wang Yuan'er insisted on asking Wang Qing'er to read more scriptures, firstly, it could improve his temper, secondly, he could calm his mind and improve his appearance.

After Wang Yuan'er's hard work, Wang Qing'er didn't want to recite scriptures anymore, and she didn't want to refute her elder sister's wishes. So, besides embroidering dowry at home, she just wrote and read scriptures. After such a period of time, it was really effective.

She was born well, she has been adjusted, and she can read and write, which can be regarded as both internal and external. Her temperament is more frizzy than before, and she is more precipitated, but her playful and lively foundation remains the same, and she is extremely agile. In the words of Aunt Cai and the others, The beauty is also, the movement is good.

Wang Qing'er also noticed the changes in herself, and she was very grateful to her eldest sister in her heart, and only her own sister would sincerely think about herself.

Time ticks by.

Wang Yuan'er was overwhelmed with preparations for Qing'er's dowry and marriage, and her uncle's family also needed help, so she specially wrote a book and went to her second uncle's side, and the reply she got was that she would be able to help.

In the middle of March, Wang Yuan'er gave the tea shed to Wang Chun'er as a subsidy for her dowry, but Wang Chun'er naturally refused in every possible way, but later saw that the eldest sister was unhappy, so she accepted it.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Chun'er was diagnosed at the beginning of March and became pregnant again, so the tea shed was not easy to take care of.So, according to Wang Yuaner's wishes, the Hou family bought two more servants, a young couple who escaped from the famine, named Huang Erleng.

Everyone noticed the changes in Wang Yuaner's sisters, and there were quite a few who were envious. The second aunt in the old house was one of them.

Seeing that all of them have hired servants, and she has become an official's wife, and she is about to give birth, and she is still doing all kinds of rough work with her big belly, Zhang's heart is suddenly aggrieved.

So, she kept writing letters to Wang Er, all kinds of grievances, all kinds of hard work, exhaustion, and both soft and hard ways to torture Wang Er to buy someone.

Wang Er was annoyed by her, maybe out of guilt or vanity, finally agreed and sent two servants to the old house.

One is Mei Niang, about [-] years old, a widow who is very good at cooking, and the other is Mei Niang's goddaughter, who looks about [-] or [-] years old, and is called Mei Zhi. .

Mrs. Zhang was very dissatisfied. The girl next to Wang Yuan'er looked dignified and majestic. What the hell are these two?

But she didn't dare to express her dissatisfaction once, because the two of them were very honest and willing to do things, and the two old guys liked such people, and she was even more afraid that the girl she had so hard to get would be sent away again, and she would do the housework by herself in the future , and had to accept it.

"Elder Sister, why did I hear Second Aunt coming again? I seem to have heard Mei Zhi's voice." Wang Qing'er came out of the room and asked after copying a volume of the Diamond Sutra.

"It's not her." Wang Yuan'er sat on the twig and led the younger sister to make a net.

"Third Sister, Second Aunt's belly is as big as a bamboo basket. She still comes here every day, and when she arrives, she always asks Sister Mei Zhi to bring her this and that. That Sister Mei Zhi is really pitiful." Lan'er said crisply.

Wang Qing'er chuckled, walked over and pulled her braid, and said, "Second Aunt is afraid that she might not know that she is an official's wife, so naturally she wants to show off."

Lan'er shrugged her small nose, frowned, and said: "Second Aunt is really serious, it's impossible to show off wherever you go, come to our house to show off, we are not outsiders, what's the point of showing off with your own family? She Isn't this a gimmick?"

"Hey, you little brat, you still know how to show your prestige in front of outsiders?" Wang Qing'er stretched out her slender index finger and poked her forehead.

Lan'er tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "We're not afraid of her, this prestige is for nothing, of course it has to be displayed outside."

Wang Qing'er was overjoyed when she heard this, and asked again: "Then you said, if she puts on a show outside, someone will be afraid of her?"

"This..." Lan'er couldn't answer, her small face wrinkled into a ball.

"Okay, don't listen to your third sister's nonsense, finish typing this net quickly, and then go to the room to practice calligraphy for a while." Wang Yuan'er couldn't help laughing when she saw her puzzled look.

Lan Er let out a groan, her hands nimbly tucked the net, and her lips were pursed into a line. When the net was finished, she raised her head and said: "Eldest sister, third sister, I think the second aunt's words will be more powerful if she shows off outside." , and no one is afraid of her, they should be envious of her, flattering her, fawning on her."

Wang Yuan'er and Wang Qing'er looked at each other in surprise.

Before they could speak, Lan'er continued: "I think Second Aunt wants this kind of effect, so that she will feel different from others and superior." She nodded while talking: "Yes, it should be so."

"Miss Si, Miss Taozi is here to talk to you!" Su Li came over and called Lan'er.

Lan'er immediately stood up, but thinking of what the eldest sister said, she said: "But I still need to practice calligraphy, you go and tell her, I will go find her to play in the afternoon, and then come and help me write."

"Hey."

"Elder Sister, Third Sister, I'm going to practice calligraphy." Lan'er then saluted the two sisters and went back to her room.

Wang Qing'er sat on the little chair she was sitting on just now, and took the knot she had tied. It was an exquisite wishful knot. She couldn't help looking at Wang Yuan'er and said, "Elder sister, why do I have the illusion that my younger sister seems to grow up all of a sudden?" Like it?"

She is only nine years old, but she can already figure out the problem just now. For other girls of the same age, this is the same as an adult, right?When their sisters were nine years old, they were still very ignorant!
"That's not true." Wang Yuan'er also sighed, the second younger sister is already a mother, and the third younger sister is about to get married. The younger sister has also grown up, and everyone has changed a lot. How does time pass so fast?

"Eldest sister, you said you wanted to find a husband for her, but there is no news yet? I think this child needs to be cultivated."

"I have already sent a letter to Cui Yuan, and I think there will be news soon." Yaomei is the youngest and the most promising, so she naturally needs to cultivate her well.
