Eldest daughter

Chapter 476

Wang Yuan'er stayed at her grandfather's house until Shen Zheng left. Fang and Yan'er sent her out to the gate, and then returned to the house, letting Yan'er go back to her room, while she went to Mrs. Liang's.

Mrs. Liang was sliding a string of rosary beads in her hand, muttering the scriptures in her mouth. Mrs. Fang stood with her hands clasped and didn't dare to disturb her. She didn't pour tea and hand it over until her mother-in-law had finished reciting a section of the Heart Sutra.

"How many of their sisters have you sent away?" Mrs. Liang asked after taking a sip of tea.

Fang Shi nodded and said, "They're all gone. I heard from Yuan'er that they are going to send Lan'er and their siblings back to Bali Hutong before going back to Cui's house."

Mrs. Liang hummed: "She is a very caring elder sister, and she loves her siblings very much. A real elder sister is like a mother."

As she spoke, her face was full of relief.

Fang naturally followed her mother-in-law's words: "What you said is very true. My daughter-in-law has met so many girls, and she is the most eldest sister of our Yuan girls. When I talk about my mother's family, there is no one Not boastful."

Granny Liang was very pleased when she heard this, and said again: "This is all forced out, if it wasn't for... alas."

Fang paid attention to her expression and knew that she must be thinking of her aunt who had gone earlier, so she said: "Mother, don't be sad, although Yuan'er and the others are long gone, they are also blessed by Bodhisattva. You see, now they How many sisters and children, one by one, which one is not good? This is all a blessing."

"Well, you're right, it's also blessed by the Bodhisattva." Granny Liang glanced at her and said, "You are also a lucky one. Now that your family is doing well and brother Ting is promising, all of your credit is indispensable. Over the years ,Thanks a lot!"

Fang suppressed the wetness from the corners of her eyes, and said, "It is a daughter-in-law's blessing to be able to marry into the Liang family, and the daughter-in-law is very content."

"Self-sufficiency is the most important thing in a person, you are doing well!" Mrs. Liang was very satisfied.

Mrs. Fang sat down and said: "Mother, look at our brother Ting, who is now 15 years old and is also a scholar. The daughter-in-law thought that it would be even more beautiful for this man to marry a wife and children after he has achieved fame. What do you think?" ?”

Speaking of the eldest grandson, Mrs. Liang became energetic and said, "It's rare for you to think so. My brother is only sixteen or seventeen, but he is only fifteen in reality. If you have fame, you won't have to worry about marrying him." Not a daughter-in-law? It’s not a good thing for a man to get married too early. If he loses his kidneys too early, his health will be worse. He’s only fifteen, and it won’t be too late to say goodbye in two years.”

"My daughter-in-law thinks the same way." Fang glanced sideways at her mother-in-law, and said, "My daughter-in-law doesn't have any ideas, and she doesn't want to climb into a high-ranking family. Brother Ting's future daughter-in-law will be the eldest daughter-in-law, and she must be capable. A gentle and considerate temperament is enough."

Granny Liang nodded approvingly.

"It would be even better if I could find someone who knows the basics." Fang said with a smile.

Mrs. Liang heard the meaning and looked at her: "What do you want to say?"

Mrs. Fang grinned: "Mother, look, Lan'er is not engaged yet. She is less than a year younger than our Yan'er, and she is a good match for our brother Ting's age. Their cousins ​​have kissed since childhood, and in the future If we get married, we should love each other. As for me, I treat Lan'er like a daughter. If she gets married, I will only have joy and love in my heart, and I won't ask her to set any rules. .”

Granny Liang was startled when she heard this, and began to think carefully.

"Mother, look, Lan'er has been innocent since she was a child. If she goes to someone else's house, I don't know if she will be wronged. I don't want to part with it." Fang said again.

Mrs. Liang agrees with her words. Lan'er is the youngest sister in the family, and she lost her mother at a young age. The sisters love and protect her dearly, and they are really pure and kind. Know if you will be underestimated or bullied.

If you marry Brother Ting, it would be great to have their protection, and it would be more intimate.

"Yuan'er said that Lan'er's marriage can't be agreed casually, the noble concubine in the palace has to give permission first." Mrs. Liang hesitated.

When they were just chatting about family affairs, it wasn't that they didn't mention the marriages of their children. That's what Wang Yuaner said. She didn't go into details, but she also knew that there must be some twists and turns in it.

"Mother, Qing'er also loves Lan'er, so maybe she won't. Besides, our family has a simple population, and it's not like those big families. There are a bunch of aunts and bastards." Fang said hurriedly.

Mrs. Liang fell silent, thought for a long time, and said: "It's not urgent, I will find out what Yuan'er said later, and... Ting'er and Lan'er, they are good friends, and now they are brothers and sisters. They are still young. Let's talk about it later!"

Fang also knew that this matter should not be rushed, so she said: "I will listen to mother."

Granny Liang read the scriptures again.

In the evening, Fang told Liang Zhenling what was on her mind again.

Liang Zhenling was stunned for a long time, then pondered for a long time before saying: "You told mother."

Mrs. Fang nodded, and said: "Mother, don't worry. According to me, she is a good girl. Lan'er is really cute. I like her very much. If she marries Brother Ting, she will also kiss her." Getting married, if it's a step too late, I'm afraid it won't be our family's blessing."

Liang Zhenling turned his head to listen.

Mrs. Fang sat closer again, pinching his arm with both hands, and whispered: "Our family, although Brother Ting has achieved fame, he will get a Jinshi or something in the future, and then we will propose marriage. We can't climb into the big family, and those young ladies are all high-spirited. We don't marry a daughter-in-law to marry an ancestor. What's so good? And those poor families don't know the basics, so it's better to settle for Lan'er Woolen cloth."

"Lan'er, we've grown up since we were young, and we know everything about our temper. Also, don't say I'm plotting, I'm telling the truth!"

Liang Zhenling looked over and raised his eyebrows.

"Lan'er is the youngest sister, and all the sisters are in pain. Yuan'er has a husband and son-in-law like Master Cui, and Qing'er is even more remarkable. She is a noble concubine. It is Chun'er's family. She is always a big and small one." Little official, tell me, brother Ting will have no choice but to be a brother-in-law with such a person, right?"

Liang Zhenling sat up slightly, pursing his lips and thinking.

"Brother Ting is protected by such a lapel brother, will he miss his future? Brother Ting is fine, in the future, we will respect brother, and it will be good whether we take the imperial examination or learn business from you " Fang's voice was low, looking at his face carefully, and sighed: "I have nothing to ask for, my sons are promising, in the future, Yan'er will find a husband who knows the cold and the hot, and I will be satisfied." gone."

"I don't know if Yuan'er can despise Brother Shang Ting." Liang Zhenling frowned and said, "If she is willing, then that's good. If she doesn't, don't force it. It will hurt the relationship between the two families."

This is the answer.

Fang's heart was overjoyed, and she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't say that Yuan'er doesn't want this matter, just pretend that you haven't mentioned it. If the two children don't have that kind of thought, I won't force it. This marriage, it's the two surnames. Good, can I still be confused?"

Liang Zhenling hummed, and said, "Then you can discuss it with your mother."

Fang Shi agreed, feeling very happy in her heart.

But she said that Wang Yuan'er was also thinking about what Fang said when she returned home.

During the day, although Fang didn't say anything, when he sent her out, he praised Lan'er both openly and secretly, so maybe he didn't have the intention of getting married.

Brother Ting...

Wang Yuan'er thought of Liang Yanting's gentle and elegant temperament, and then thought of Lan'er's delicate and kind-hearted temperament, and slightly pursed his lips in thought.

The grandfather's family is simple and well-know, if Lan'er married, it would not be a bad thing.

But Lan'er, she quietly tested today, this girl is completely unrequited, and she treats Brother Ting like a brother!
Wang Yuan'er sighed, and thought, well, both of them are still young, let's see later.

Putting aside this incident, she thought of Cui Yuan again, and she didn't know what was going on with him, but on the way back, did the negotiations go smoothly?And Zhao Dali, I don't know what this kid looks like?
The days are spent in anticipation and miss.

As the twelfth lunar month gets closer, Brother Chu speaks more and more words. Wang Yuan'er teaches Brother Chu to speak every day, or meets with various managers and shopkeepers. After all, the New Year is approaching, and all parties must check carefully. There are also the rituals of each family, and they must be ordered and sent to them.

And as the year was approaching, every family was rushing to get their wives, and the wedding invitations were sent to Wang Yuaner, but most of the time she only sent gifts, but the people did not arrive.Because her stomach is getting bigger and bigger, she can no longer see her feet when she stands upright, and she is so bulky that she needs someone to help her turn over. I don't want this to happen either.

Even though she has controlled her food intake, her stomach is really astonishingly big, so it's better to stay at home peacefully.

And for this matter, Wang Yuan'er asked the imperial doctor more than once if they were twins, but she was not sure, even Qiutang was not sure.

"The pulse is really unclear, whether it's twins or not, I really can't tell at this moment." Qiutang said: "Why don't you ask the doctor to touch your belly for grandma?"

Some stable women and medical women know how to touch their stomachs. They are very capable, and they can find out whether there is one or two in their stomachs at once.

Wang Yuan'er thought for a while, then shook her head: "It's better not to, my stomach has caught the eyes of others, if I do this again, I'm afraid it will catch her eyes even more."

Qiutang's expression was slightly chilled, knowing that she was talking about the side of the main courtyard.

Ever since the eldest grandma gave birth to a daughter, Mrs. Cui only stared at Cheng's belly, not only that, but also at the Tongfang who served her personally, but the uncle was such an idiot, saying that Son, how can it be so easy?

Didn't see Cheng's confinement, is this person a little older than before?This is all worrying.

"Left and right are already pregnant, don't care if they are twins or not, just find a good stable wife to prepare." Wang Yuan'er sighed while rubbing her big belly.

Qiutang nodded, and discussed with her carefully.
