Eldest daughter

Chapter 379
March was spent in all kinds of busyness and changes. At the time of Qingming, Wang Qing'er was about to get married, so Wang Yuan'er specially arranged a more grand worship ceremony. Not counting refilling the grave, he also invited the Taoist temple to do dipping and sacrifice. Pray, well done.

As soon as Qingming was over, Wang Yuaner received a letter from Cui Yuan, saying that everything was fine in Yunzhou, but he missed Wang Yuaner, the sweet words were written on a piece of paper, Wang Yuaner's mouth was slightly curved as he read it, his face was blushing so attractively.

After he finished talking about miss, he finally got down to business.

The letter said that there is no rush for the enlightenment of the little boy from Baolai. When he comes back, he will be the one to start the enlightenment. Now let him learn the zama step first.

As for Yaomei Lan'er's teaching teacher, he suggested that she write to Mrs. Song. There are many such women and gentlemen in Jiangnan, and the Song family is a rich family there, and Mrs. Song wants to know many people.

As for his uncle's medicinal materials business, he also made some suggestions. Master Lin is a talent, so if you ask him for advice on everything, you will avoid detours if you think about it.

After reading the letter, Wang Yuan'er was also a little stunned, yes, all the women in the south of the Yangtze River are graceful, needlewomen, and have excellent morals and appearances, and the gentleman over there will also be excellent.

I really didn't think of this!
Wang Yuan'er supported his forehead, luckily Cui Yuan didn't pass her to write a letter to his godmother, otherwise she would definitely be annoyed, after all, she is a goddaughter, and to write a letter through Cui Yuan, isn't it a stranger?
Putting down the letter, Wang Yuan'er took up a pen to write to the godmother again, and seeing that it was already more than April, and the Dragon Boat Festival would be around in less than a month, so she simply arranged for the gift, and sent Aunt Cai to deliver the gift in person.

As soon as Aunt Cai left, the work on the stove fell to Qiutang and the others. They not only had to take care of the daily life of their siblings, but also took care of other household chores, and their hands were tightened again.

Taking advantage of the companions sent by Mrs. Chen to choose for Wang Yuan'er, she bought two servants and two wives who were rough envoys to be in charge of the house and rough envoys.

With the addition of manpower, the family's expenses also increased. Wang Yuan'er calculated the accounts, and took advantage of the extra money, and bought a village of more than [-] mu in Tongzhou.

But shopkeeper Bai in the middle of the capital heard the news that the owner of the foreign shop, Princess Yunyang, planned to sell the shop. If Wang Yuaner wanted to buy it, he could buy it for only 600 taels.In the alley next to the shop, there is also a second-entry house for sale. The original owner is also a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River. Although the house is small, it is considered exquisite and elegant. The price is 1000 taels.

Relying on the dividends from the merchant ship and fermented bean curd, Wang Yuaner's family is considered well-off. She has no intention of doing other business for the time being, and according to Cui Yuan's intention, she just bought Tianpu Zhuangzi. After all, these things can't be escaped. The house can be regarded as real estate, and the price is still within her acceptable range, so she is naturally moved.

So, after receiving the letter, Wang Yuaner took Qiutang Qiuyun to the capital in person, accompanied by shopkeeper Bai, first met with the supervisor of Yunyang Princess, who was still the manager, and bought the shop. down.

After the matter was settled, she went to the house in the next alley to have a look, and heard that she thought the business could not turn around, so she was in a hurry to sell it.Looking at it, it is really exquisite and graceful, and the repair is very tasteful like a Jiangnan water town. Wang Yuan'er fell in love with it at first sight, and immediately signed a contract with the owner of the house. new owner.

There is a house, but because Wang Yuaner and the others don't live in Beijing, and the house needs to be taken care of, Wang Yuaner bought two middle-aged couples to help sweep the dust here. place to settle.

What happened in Beijing is over, it is already a few days later.

Qiu Yun had been leaning on the car window and looking outside, suddenly she said: "Miss, do you think that is the niece of the second wife's natal family?"

Wang Yuan'er was holding a volume of books to read, when she heard the words, she could see that this happened to pass by the second uncle's shop!
The second uncle went to Ji County, and the matter of this shop fell on Wang Fuquan's head, and now he is the one who looks after the shop.

But at this time, she was not the only one in the shop, there were other people, Qiuyun was right, that person was the daughter of the second aunt, what was her name?

It seems to be called Xu Yanyin?
I saw the two standing opposite each other, and I didn't know what Wang Fuquan said. Xu Yanyin blushed and punched him on the shoulder shyly, acting like a little girl.

Wang Yuan'er put down the curtain, thought for a while and then told Qiu Yun: "In a while, you take a box of snacks for the old lady to taste, and also play with Mei Zhi'er to see if there are any guests in the old house."

Xu Yanyin was in the shop, so Zhang Cuiying also came to the old house as a guest, right?
This is to ask Qiuyun to inquire about the personnel affairs of the old house, and Qiuyun agrees crisply.

Wang Yuan'er guessed right, Zhang Cuiying was indeed a guest in the West Room of the old house at this time, and she was here to give birth gifts.Zhang Cuiying touched Mrs. Zhang's belly, seeing that she had placed the order, she nodded and said, "Eldest sister, you should pay attention, it should have been born in the past few days, and this belly is too big."

"No, I'm afraid." Zhang looked down, she was so bloated that she couldn't see her feet.

"Don't be afraid, just find a stable woman to prepare for it. According to your current environment, it's not short of money." Zhang Cuiying smiled and said: "Brother-in-law has been away for two months, right? What's the matter?" Good news?"

"No way, I wrote to him a few days ago, and only then sent me dozens of taels back." Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips.

But Zhang Cuiying's eyes lit up, and she said, "Sister, a few dozen taels is not a small number. Besides, he has only passed by not long ago, and there are many places to manage up and down. If he can stand firm in the future, it won't be a few dozen taels." It's two."

"What you said is true." Mrs. Zhang felt a little proud when she heard the irony in her heart.

Zhang Cuiying picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, glanced at her, and asked again: "Elder sister, Fuquan is sixteen, right? Is he seventeen or eighteen?"

"Yes."

"Then it's time to talk about kissing. I seem to have seen you flirt before, so why are you silent?" Zhang Cuiying asked.

"Also, people look down on our family, hmph, don't say now whether the Mo family looks down on us Fuquan, whether we look down on them is the problem!" Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly.

The corners of Zhang Cuiying's lips were slightly curved, she sat beside her, and said, "Eldest sister, don't be upset, this proves that the two families don't have the fate to be in-laws." She changed her voice, and said, "But elder sister, it's time to give Fuquan a new account, right? ?”

Mrs. Zhang finally sensed the smell, and turned her head to look over: "What? You want to be a matchmaker? Tell me, which girl is it?"

Zhang Cuiying sat closer and said, "Eldest sister, do you still remember what we said when we were young?"

Zhang was taken aback: "What are you talking about?"

"How old were we at that time, the second fool next door married his daughter-in-law, didn't he marry his cousin? We said at the time that when we get married and have children in the future, we will also be in-laws, remember?"

Mrs. Zhang was stunned, and frowned, "There's this thing? I don't remember it!"

At this time, Mei Zhi came in with a plate of peeled walnut kernels, put on the small table on the kang, and refilled the tea for the two of them.

Zhang Cuiying didn't wait for Meizhi to go out, she let out a sneer, and grabbed Zhang's arm again and said: "Eldest sister, Fuquan hasn't engaged yet, and my family Yanyin hasn't said anything about marriage yet, look, how about letting these two children be sent to Zuodui? It's also good to be a son and daughter in-laws, more kisses."

"What?" Zhang yelled unexpectedly, so frightened that Mei Zhi almost threw the teapot in her hand.

Mrs. Zhang waved her away and looked at her younger sister: "You want to marry Yanyin to our Fuquan?"

When I was young, my younger sister was favored more than myself. The Xu family she married into later was also from a good family. She opened a grocery store, which was considered affluent, and the younger sister was good at making money, and she was used to watching her words, so her popularity was quite good. Eating well, this makes Mrs. Zhang enjoy eating.

Mrs. Zhang knew that this girl had a plan in mind, but she never thought that she would think of marrying her daughter.

That girl Yanyin, Mrs. Zhang thought about it for a while, she was not bad, but her lips were a little thin, she acted a little timid, and she was a little petty, but she didn't find any major problems in other aspects.

However, to be in-laws with the Xu family?
Mrs. Zhang glanced at the girl and saw that she was staring at him eagerly, so she couldn't help laughing, grabbed a handful of walnuts and put them in her mouth, saying, "I really haven't thought about this!"

She really didn't think about it, she didn't have it before, and now, she doesn't even have it.

Why?

What is the status of the Wang family now? It is no longer the old Baiding, but an official with two mouths, and Wang Fuquan and the others are also the children of the official family. How can ordinary poor boys compare?

As for the sons of the official family, naturally he can't just be a good match for a suitable person. The best match is the best. Therefore, in Zhang's eyes, Xu Yanyin is not worthy of his son.

To put it bluntly, she can't even compare to that girl from the Mo family. The Mo family has at least a few shops and a generous dowry, but what about the Xu family?
For so many years, Xu's family has always been running a grocery store. What's great is that they have increased their land property by more than ten acres, and my sister has two sons. How much dowry can I give my daughter?
Therefore, Mrs. Zhang was a little unhappy, and thought in her heart that her son deserved better.

Zhang Cuiying is used to observing words and expressions, so even if Zhang's disgusted eyes flashed quickly, she took a serious look.

This eldest sister is not very willing!
Zhang Cuiying was upset, her daughter is doing well, but where is Fuquan?It is well known that such a scandal happened before, if his father had not had a good future now, who would be willing to marry his daughter in?No response.

I also took a fancy to this point, and the wealth of Wang Yuaner's family, in the future, I can help with something.Otherwise, she wouldn't bring it up, but the eldest sister still dislikes it?Nor did she look at the virtue of her son.

Zhang Cuiying was upset, but she didn't show it, she just asked: "Sister, don't tell me you still look down on our family Yanyin?"
