Eldest daughter

Chapter 442
The imperial decree to promote Cui Yuan to the fourth-rank servant minister was issued very soon, and it was Eunuch Hu, the chief steward next to the emperor, who came to declare the decree, and he was honored and favored for a while.

After the decree was announced, Eunuch Hu also proposed to see Brother Chu, the so-called Ai Wu Jiwu, in the eyes of everyone, it was the emperor who asked Eunuch Hu to do this, so he could go back and tell the emperor.

"Your Highness has a full heaven and a round earth pavilion. He is a blessed one." Eunuch Hu boasted a few words, and gave another purple jade pendant as a gift.

Mrs. Cui, who was kneeling on the ground, peeked out, her hands tucked into her sleeves were clenched into fists, and her lips were tightly pursed.

Cui Yuan's eyes flashed, thanked him, and invited Eunuch Hu to drink tea.

"Save the tea for later. Our family has to go back to the emperor to serve as servants. Mr. Cui, the emperor has great expectations of you. Mr. Cui, don't disappoint the expectations of the emperor!" Eunuch Hu laughed.

Cui Yuan expressed his sincerity again.

Eunuch Hu said again that he asked the three of them to enter the palace to greet the emperor when they were free, saying that the emperor was reading it, and said: "The emperor told our family that when you were young, you followed him to fight everywhere. The relationship is very deep. Now You have a son, and the old man also wants to see if your son is like a father!"

The corners of Wang Yuan'er's mouth twitched slightly, the emperor was only thirty, he was an old man.

But the emperor is the sky, and the sky is great, so no one dares to say anything about the old man.

Cui Yuan said a few polite words, and personally sent Eunuch Hu out, and then followed Master Cui into the old man's study to talk.

Wang Yuan'er turned to look at Mrs. Cui, only to see her angry face, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The higher Cui Yuanguan climbed, the more resentful she would be!

In Mrs. Cui's heart, if it was his Brother Hong, he would definitely be more promising and more honored. If there were no events of the past, today's glory would belong to Cui Hong.

But she didn't want to think about it, everyone's fortune is different, if Cui Hong grows up safely, is he really the honor he is today?
Everything is destined, no one can help.

Sure enough, Wang Yuaner soon heard from the waiters beside him that another set of pastel Magu birthday teacups had been smashed in the main room.

"Be careful with your errands, restrain the people below, don't be frivolous and arrogant, if anyone dares to cause trouble and domineering, he will be beaten directly and kicked out." Wang Yuan'er instructed Qiutang.

Qiutang naturally knew that when Cui Yuan was promoted, the Qinghui Court would attract more people's attention. The servants in this court are more or less arrogant, especially at this time, they should be more low-key and cautious, so as not to attract people's attention. It is said that their yard is frivolous and arrogant.

"Your servant knows." A stern look flashed in Qiutang's eyes.

Wang Yuan'er rubbed his forehead, his face was full of fatigue, and said: "Originally, I planned to send you off to get married in Changle Town, but now that the second master has been promoted, we have to go back to Cui's house to live, and you can only get married in Beijing. I'm afraid. I'm afraid that in the future, I won't be as comfortable as I was in Changle Town."

It's really a thousand calculations, never expected that the emperor would suddenly be promoted to Cui Yuan's official rank, and still work in Beijing, which means that they will live in Cui's house in the future.

It's true that the Cui family is a well-known family, rich and noble everywhere, but to be honest, how can a single-family family come here happily?Especially there is a mother-in-law who doesn't like their house very much, one step counts as ten steps, and she has to think carefully before saying a word.

The days to come will be difficult!

"It's the same wherever you get married, but in the future, I'm afraid we will have to train more people." Qiutang pursed her lips, expressing something.

Wang Yuan'er was born with a delicate heart, so she didn't know the meaning of her words, so she said: "Since it can't be avoided, then make arrangements as soon as possible. I don't care about the outside affairs, Qinghui Courtyard, you keep it in an iron bucket Same." After thinking for a while, he said, "It just so happens that Brother Chu will be working for a hundred days in a few days. Taking advantage of this opportunity, you and Qiuyun carefully stared at those who have different intentions. We also invited Nanny Zhong to pick the ones that should be picked." Pick them all up for me."

"Grandma, do you think Nanny Zhong is available?" Qiutang was a little surprised.

"She is the second master's nanny, and she has been sincere all these years, especially the second master is still worshiping the fourth rank now. If she doesn't pull on our thighs, is she going to pull on the eldest?" Wang Yuan'er sneered: "After all, we The second bedroom will be her honorary master in the future, count on the first wife, count on the wife? She is not stupid."

How the wife treats Cui Yuan these years, can't Nanny Zhong see?Would she think that Mrs. Cui would give her a decent raise?Will the family's livelihood be tied to the big house?
Any fool knows which one is more promising, unless she, Nanny Zhong, has a broken head.

"Your servant understands." Qiutang smiled after thinking it through, and said, "Then my servant will invite Nanny Zhong to have two cups of wine."

Wang Yuan'er nodded, thought for a while and said, "You might as well weigh two taels of silver, invite a whole table of side dishes from the kitchen, and invite Nanny Zhong and those who are acquainted with her to have a drink."

Qiutang complied, and went to prepare not to mention it.

Wang Yuan'er stayed alone for a while, even Chu Ge'er was not very interested when he came, but when Cui Yuan came back, she could smell a faint smell of alcohol on him.

"Why are you still drinking?" Wang Yuan'er twisted the hot handkerchief to wipe his face and asked.

"The old man was in high spirits, so he had a couple of drinks with him." Cui Yuan's mouth curled up.

When he was promoted, he was the happiest. Naturally, the old man and Cui were the happiest and joyful, especially his father, who almost said that it would be no problem to be named a marquis and prime minister in the future. If the old man didn't stop, He didn't know how many inappropriate things he said.

Sitting beside him, Wang Yuan'er asked, "Why did the emperor suddenly promote you? It's still at this moment."

"Nowadays the weather is unpredictable, and the water level of many rivers is rising. This issue was also mentioned in the court today. The water conservancy area must be taken care of. Another important thing is that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry may not be long. Now, the emperor doesn't want Concubine De's person to occupy the position of the Ministry of Industry." Cui Yuan explained lightly.

Wang Yuan'er was slightly taken aback, unable to react.

Cui Yuan had no choice but to lower his voice, and said: "The empress's son is not yet one year old, but the eldest son of the concubine De is already ten years old. Ten years old, after a few years, he can marry a concubine and have children. Some people I can't wait any longer, but the emperor is in his prime, how could he allow those people to plot his position behind?"

Wang Yuaner was startled, and her voice was extremely low: "Could it be that these people want to establish a crown prince now?"

"Everyone wants their family to be prosperous, so it's not surprising that they have ideas in their hearts. It's just that the emperor is young and has his own ideas. It all depends on who is better." The corner of Cui Yuan's mouth twitched coldly, and he couldn't tell whether it was sarcasm or what.

Wang Yuaner was silent.

The twists and turns in the royal family are really unpredictable.

"Then the emperor wants you to be the imperial party?" Wang Yuaner took a long time to catch a point.

Cui Zhuang's eyes showed approval, and said: "He needs a pure minister, and I have followed him since I was a child, so that I can continue to be his eyes, but the Ministry of Industry has a lot of things, and now he wants me to take office immediately. There is still a handover to be done, and the matter of the Ministry of Industry must be started as soon as possible, and I will probably be very busy in the future, so you don't have to worry about it at home, just take care of yourself and our son."

Wang Yuan'er was silent for a while, leaned over, and said, "You have to tell me more about some things in the future, otherwise I don't know anything. If I don't understand, I will hinder you in the back house."

Cui Yuan was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized.

The back house and the court are actually closely related. There are some things that cannot be said in the open. The women in the back house are a bridge, and many news are learned from the back house.

What Wang Yuan'er meant was to ask Cui Yuan to teach her, lest she accidentally say something that should not be said when dealing with those back house ladies in the future, and spoil his business.

The court is his battlefield, and the back house is her battlefield. The husband and wife are one body, sharing weal and woe, that's why Wang Yuan'er said this.

Cui Yuan's heart warmed slightly, he hugged her shoulders, and said: "I'm sorry, I thought that our family would live peacefully in Changle Town these few years, so we don't need to fight here, and I will give you a peaceful and peaceful life." It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes, and I'm sorry."

Wang Yuan'er shook his head, and said softly, "As long as you're here, I'm home everywhere."

Of course she wants a peaceful and happy life, but a man has ambitions, and she can't let him ignore him just for her own sake. It's just a change of place to live and get married, isn't that the way it is?
She chooses the person herself, and she doesn't regret it.

Isn't it just house fighting?Isn't it entertainment?Still stumped her?
After hearing her words, Cui Yuan felt even more guilty, hugged her tightly, and said softly: "Don't worry, if we have a chance in the future, we can always separate and live alone."

Wang Yuan'er's eyes lit up, and he raised his head, but the look in his eyes quickly darkened again, and said: "The old man is here, we don't want to separate families, let's just suffer!"

"Then let's have a few more cubs first." Cui Yuan pushed her down.

……

Qinghui Courtyard is warm and warm, but the main room is covered with dark clouds. Master Cui came to the main room humming a tune, and saw Mrs. Cui sitting there with a dark face, and a girl kneeling on the ground. Looking closely, it wasn't her Is Caihuan the capable girl by your side?
"What's the matter?" Master Cui's good mood was swept away, and he thought in his heart that he might make a mistake again today.

"Isn't it these dead girls who see highs and lows, and when they see someone promoted to a high-ranking official, they eagerly come up to lick the soles of their shoes, thinking I'm dead?" Mrs. Cui pointed at Sang and scolded Huai.

"Ma'am, there are no servants." Caihuan cried until the pear blossoms were raining.

"You still dare to refute?" Mrs. Cui raised her eyebrows.

"All right, all right, Caihuan, go down first." Master Cui waved his hand, Caihuan gave Mrs. Cui a timid look, and retreated with tears in her eyes.

"Yuan'er's promotion is a good thing, who are you insinuating? He will also help Hong'er's children after he has this honor. Do you want to offend everyone?"

"I can't bear it." Mrs. Cui sneered, "If it wasn't for him..."

"It's been so many years, and you still mention it. This is Hong'er's fate. If you can't figure it out for a moment, if you suffer, you don't tell yourself, but you also suffer from the elders. In the future, Yuan'er will be really chilled. We stomp on our feet, but he doesn't care, I see what you want?" Master Cui stopped her: "Don't say that you have your mother's family, your elder brother's own family doesn't support him, why do you still support a nephew's son wholeheartedly? No? In the future, if I kiss my uncle’s family again, can I kiss my own uncle?”

Mrs. Cui suffocated and sat there in a daze, not even knowing when Master Cui left.
