Eldest daughter

Chapter 408
Cui Yuan was not surprised at all. Wang Yuan'er returned to the courtyard earlier than a few days ago. He just said a few words in front of his father, and his father would know the difference between good and bad. The celebrity is also for the glory of the family.

After the two of them had their dinner, Cui Yuan sent someone to bring water, dismissed the crowd, and personally untied the socks on Wang Yuan'er's feet, and pressed her feet into the wooden basin.

When Wang Yuan'er realized what he was going to do, she immediately backed away in shock: "How can I ask Second Master to help me wash my feet?"

Cui Yuan grabbed her feet and put them in the water, said: "You serve my mother-in-law and still set the rules. After standing for so long a day, what does it matter if I wash your feet?"

He took the handkerchief on one side, picked up the water and gently scrubbed her feet.

The hot water trickled down her feet, and Wang Yuan'er sighed comfortably. The moist water reached her heart all the way, and her eye sockets were also slightly moist.

In two lives, it was the first time that she was cherished so much by others. Seeing him seriously wiping her feet and gently massaging her feet, Wang Yuan'er felt that all grievances and sufferings were worth it.

"My wife said that I don't need to make rules in the future." Wang Yuan'er sniffed and said with a smile.

Cui Yuan hummed, and said: "Then let's take it easy these days, and in a few days, I will go back home with you."

Because the two families are not too close, the original three-dynasty return to the door has become a nine-day return.

Wang Yuan'er was extremely happy, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

After they both washed and washed, they were not as absurd as the previous nights. Seeing that it was still early, they leaned on the bed and whispered.

From the family's affairs to the court, and then to Wang Qinger's side.

"Now the one who is calling her is a maid named Xingchun, who also knows some Qihuang techniques. She is not very eye-catching, but her temperament is very calm and calm, which just makes up for Qing'er's impulsive temperament. In a few days, It is also a help to be called the Grand Palace Maid." Cui Yuan's voice was low.

Wang Yuan'er felt relieved, and said: "To be honest, I was always uneasy when she entered the palace with such a strong and top-notch personality. I was afraid that she would bump into someone and even lose her life. Now you say that there is such a palace lady? Reminding on the side, that's better, otherwise, what's the big deal?"

Cui Yuan was silent, thinking that if she knew that Wang Qing'er had suffered several dark losses in it, how could she not even sleep well?

Thinking of this, I even hid what I knew in my heart.

"People grow up through suffering, and they always know the pain when they fall down. It's smooth sailing, but sometimes it's a bad thing." He said lightly.

Wang Yuan'er agreed very much. Only one who has suffered losses and experienced failures will be nirvana.

"I don't ask her to be rich, it's great to save her life." She smiled wryly.

"After the new year, I will ask the emperor to seal your order, so that during the festivals, you can also hand over the sign and go to the palace to pay her respects, and you can meet her once you ask for an order."

Wang Yuaner was overjoyed when he heard that, and grabbed him: "Is this true?"

"It's true." Seeing her smiling like a child, Cui Yuan pinched her little nose: "How can you repay me?"

Wang Yuan'er blushed, lowered her head slightly and said, "You can repay me whatever you say you want."

Cui Yuan whispered a few words in her ear, Wang Yuan'er blushed with shame, and glared at him.However, after the two had blown the lights and rested, she followed his wishes and 'repaid' him well.

……

Since Mrs. Cui didn't need Wang Yuan'er to set rules, she wouldn't come forward to make fun of herself, but peace of mind is indispensable in the morning and evening, and after paying her respects, she returned to her small courtyard.

Cui Yuan Muxiu also accompanied her at home, the two of them first enjoyed all the objects that the emperor had rewarded them with, and even started painting in their free time.

Now it's the end of the new year, and Wang Yuan'er is a first-time bride, so she should have taken care of all the etiquette, so Cui Yuan accompanied her to point out a network of contacts, and she had to prepare everything as a gift.

The capital is far colder than other places, and heavy snowfalls are often seen in December.

It was snowing heavily outside, Wang Yuan'er didn't go out with Cui Yuan, the two of them stayed in the study to draw or read a book, and then poured a pot of tea, it was quite comfortable.

"Second Master, Second Mistress." Qiu Tang came in and bowed to the two of them.

"What's the matter?"

"Second Mistress, the dowry has not been collected yet, Yuan Dazhi's family came to ask me what kind of constitution you are?" Qiutang whispered her intention.

Wang Yuaner froze for a moment, then looked at Cui Yuan.

She really forgot about this matter. After entering the door, she was busy setting up the rules, preparing for the annual ceremony, or looking at the connections between various parties and Cui Yuan. Her dowry has not been properly dealt with yet.

"After the new year, I will tell the emperor to go back to Changle Town, and I will also tell my grandfather and father that you don't need to tidy up your dowry. The big ones that are not easy to move can be put in the warehouse. You don’t need to open the brochures, you don’t need to unpack some frequently used ones, so we have to repack them when we leave, so let’s put them away for now.” Cui Yuan thought for a while and said.

Wang Yuan'er would naturally listen to him, and at this time a colleague came to talk to Cui Yuan, she asked someone to serve her, and she brought Qiutang and the others to arrange the dowry.

In the afternoon, they put the dowry in the books, and Wang Yuaner thought about the yard again. If they went to Changle Town in the future, who would guard the place and who would look after her dowry?

Wang Yuan'er thought of Cui Yuan's courtyard, where there was a Nanny Xu and two maids named Ding Xiang Cui Hong.

Cui Yuan has been away for many years, in his own words, he is used to being comfortable alone, and he doesn't like to be surrounded by a bunch of waiters, so his yard is rarely crowded.

Nanny Xu is his wet nurse, and Ding Xiang Cui Hong is the big maid who takes care of his clothes and other things, but he doesn't want the two of them to serve him closely. When he was young, he used Chen Shu. Naturally, they will not be allowed to get close.

So, up to now, the two maids are in charge of his clothes, shoes, socks and daily life, the yard is cleaned by his mother-in-law and the maid, and Nanny Xu is naturally in charge of everything.

Wang Yuan'er hasn't formally dealt with these people yet, so after a few days of marriage, she still let Nanny Xu take care of the big and small matters. Naturally, she has her own maids, Ding Xiang and Cui Hong, who also take care of Cui Yuan. Clothes, should also be divided into a division of labor, tidy up the manpower in the yard.

When Cui Yuan came back, Wang Yuan'er pretended to be casual and asked him what was the arrangement of the two maids.

"I've read the brochures. Ding Xiang is 19 years old this year, and Cui Hong is [-]. The girls in the mansion should be matched with someone at this age. If the men are here, there are also house collectors. You see ?” Wang Yuaner looked at him.

Cui Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at her with a half-smile: "Are you accepting the house?"

Wang Yuan'er raised her eyebrows and clenched her hands slightly.

The man in the rich family doesn't have a few maids, Ding Xiang seems to be honest for the time being, but that emerald red, with a pair of cut-cut eyes, when looking at Cui Yuan, it is almost as soft as water.

Cui Yuan caught a glimpse of her slightly curved fingers, and pretended to say: "Whether you accept the house or not, you can do it yourself, you are the mistress of our small family."

Not to let her send it away, but to let her figure it out.
Wang Yuan'er was a little disappointed when she heard this, and let out a sigh.

Cui Yuan chuckled: "Are you unhappy?"

Wang Yuaner blushed.

"Fool! You are usually so smart, why are you a little confused this time? Still can't tell if it's a joke or the truth?" Cui Yuan patted her forehead.

Wang Yuan'er was a little surprised, but then became joyful, and said, "Then what do you mean, you let me send you away?"

Cui Yuan smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at her and said: "I have no intention of taking concubines, and I don't want to have concubines born in the future. If there are too many women in a family, there will be too many disputes. I don't like it."

This is very obvious, he is not going to take a concubine or ask for a roommate.

Cui Yuan didn't say anything else, that is, he himself was born of a noble concubine, even if he took up the title of noble, he is still a son of a concubine, a dwarf, if he is a legitimate son who crawled out of his wife's belly, even if something happened to his eldest brother, Will it be different from today?

Therefore, he did not want to have a child born of a concubine.

Wang Yuan'er was slightly surprised, and said, "Then what if I can't have a child?"

"Then let's work harder." Cui Yuan leaned over, stroking her waist with his fingers, with an ambiguous expression on his face.

Wang Yuan'er blushed instantly.

"If you can't give birth to a child, then it's our destiny, and you don't have to force it. In the future, you will go to the Shantang to raise one. In short, I won't wrong you!" He said softly.

Wang Yuan'er suddenly felt hot in his heart, leaned his head on his shoulder, and did not speak.

It is her blessing to have a husband like this.

"Don't worry now?" Cui Yuan bit her ear and said, "It's just that there is no such thing as a concubine, so you have to work hard for a lady to serve your husband."

As he spoke, he led her hand towards him.

Wang Yuaner's face was burning with shame, but she still said, "I, I don't work hard."

The two fell on the couch.

The next day, Wang Yuan'er called Madam Xu and told her what Cui Yuan wanted.

"Nurse is the nurse of the second master. If you want to in the future, we will take care of you for the rest of your life. Now that you are healthy, you also ask you to help us manage the yard. As for the two girls, the second master is Not wanting to delay them, Mammy sees which house has young butlers of the right age and agrees to them, and she is very grateful for them serving the second master."

Nanny Xu was startled, this second grandma was so valued by the second master, she kept saying yes.

Ding Xiang had expected this a long time ago, but Cuihong was unwilling to see the second master, and she didn't know what Madam Xu said, but she obediently listened to the arrangement, and Wang Yuan'er rewarded them with 20 yuan each. Two silver coins were distributed as a dowry.

This matter also spread to Mrs. Cui, and Wang Yuan'er was called to ask questions, Wang Yuan'er said that it was Cui Yuan's intention, thinking that the business was too heavy and he was not in the mood, so he sent it away.

Mrs. Cui had something on her mind, so she gave a few words of warning in a neutral manner, don't be jealous or anything, just expose it and don't mention it.
