Eldest daughter

Chapter 487
After the lively three baptisms, Wang Yuan'er lived like a pig. She didn't need to breastfeed the child, but her daily task was to eat and sleep. Ruddy up.

After [-] dynasties, she went down to the ground, but she still couldn't go out, she could only walk back and forth in the area of ​​the main room, except that she couldn't shower or wash her hair, but her breath got better day by day.

Brother Chu is very curious about his two younger brothers. He has to go to the cradle every day to have a look and say a few words to be happy. He also talked very vigorously, and the two younger ones, once they saw the big brother coming, they were also very excited to dance with their hands and feet, babbling, which made Wang Yuaner very amused.

Wang Yuan'er was still in confinement, and no one dared to bother her with anything, but now it was the time when she was out of touch, so there was nothing serious about it.

On the contrary, the tombs of her parents in Changle Town were reorganized. Wang Laner came over and said that she wanted to take Baolai to worship together during Qingming.

During the Ching Ming Festival, ancestors are worshiped, so Wang Yuan'er naturally had no reason to do so, so she explained a few words to her in detail.

Next, Brother Mo and Brother Yu will make arrangements for the full moon wine. Whoever they want to invite must be decided in advance, and the mansion must also prepare in advance.

Gongzhong only gave 200 taels for the banquet, and posted the extra by himself. Qiutang was very unhappy, 200 taels, this is too stingy.

For this reason, Mrs. Cheng came here to confess to Wang Yuan'er, showing embarrassment on the face, saying that it was Mrs. Cui's idea, as a daughter-in-law, it was not easy to refute.

Wang Yuan'er didn't care, she discussed it with Cui Yuan, and they added the excess by themselves.

Unexpectedly, when the news spread to the outer court, the old man allocated 3000 taels of silver, and Master Cui also allocated 2000 taels, saying that it was the old man's intention to make the full moon wine properly and decently.

Mrs. Cui saw her father-in-law and husband slapping her in the face like this, and fell ill again in a fit of anger!

But no one took her illness seriously, and many people wanted to curry favor with Qinghuiyuan. People could see clearly the successive favors, Qinghuiyuan was truly entitled and favored. People, what's the big room and the third room?

As a result, many people secretly entrusted someone to come to Qiutang and Nanny Zhong, hoping to find a job in Qinghui Courtyard, even if it was just a poor woman or girl.

Mrs. Cui learned that, under the anger, she really fell ill!

After Wang Yuan'er learned about it, she sent Qiutang over to say hello. She didn't pay attention to her narrow-mindedness at all. If she really fought with her about everything, it would be herself who suffered, so she wouldn't let it go.

Qiutang took the guest list, and handed it over after Wang Yuan'er had finished drinking the deer fetus soup: "This is the list of invited guests, take a look."

Wang Yuan'er hummed, and said, "Don't make me drink this deer fetus soup again, I'm tired of drinking it." Then he took a candied fruit from the side plate and put it in his mouth to get tired of it.

Qiutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "If you don't drink deer fetus, then you can only eat chicken."

"I heard from Mrs. Li that they make sweet and sour ginger egg pork knuckles in the countryside to make up for confinement. You can ask her how to do it later. At least give me a change. I'm getting tired of it." Wang Yuan'er said with a bitter face. road.

"Okay, I will ask her when I turn back, and I will bring it to you tonight!"

Only then did Wang Yuan'er open the list with satisfaction, and read one by one. When she saw the name of Mrs. Chen, the second grandmother of the Jiangjun Palace, she was stunned for a moment.

"We don't seem to have anything to do with the Prince Jiang's Mansion, right? What about Mrs. Chen?"

Qiu Tang took a look, and said: "Oh, Mrs. Chen came here uninvited on the day when the second and third young masters washed the third, and brought her eldest daughter-in-law with her. At that time, I watched her and looked at Miss Lan'er several times. , I also saw that she and Mrs. Huang, the doctor of the Ministry of Industry, are also very affectionate, before I leave, let me post a post for her."

After hearing this, Wang Yuan'er felt even more strange. She frowned and thought about it: "Then Mrs. Chen doesn't have any unmarried men of the right age?"

Qiutang thought for a while, shook her head, and said: "Madam Chen only has two sons and a daughter, both of whom are married, and the grandson is only a few years old."

"That's weird!" Wang Yuan'er was a little puzzled.

Xia Yu, who was standing by the side, smiled and said: "Grandma has two children and a third child in less than three years. She is famously lucky in Beijing, and there are many people who want to come to get lucky. What's so strange? ?”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Qiu Tang scolded softly: "Jiang County Prince's Mansion is also a majestic palace, and its wealth is not worse than that of Cui's family. What kind of luck is there for you? Don't let people say that grandma is frivolous."

Xia Yu was startled, and looked at Wang Yuan'er with a pale face: "Grandma..."

"Your sister Qiutang is right, you must not be so frivolous in the future." Wang Yuan'er said lightly, Xia Yu is clever, but sometimes, she is too complacent and arrogant, so it's better to restrain herself.

"Your servant knows your mistake." Xia Yu quickly admitted her mistake.

"Well. Since you are on good terms with Mrs. Huang, please go ahead. You will know what the picture is when you see it." Wang Yuan'er said.

Qiutang should be busy.

Wang Yuan'er talked about Ji County again, and said, "I don't know if Grandpa and Grandma will come over then?"

"When you sent Yuan Dazhi's family to announce the good news, didn't the old man say that if he was healthy, he would come over to celebrate?" Qiutang said with a smile.

Wang Yuan'er sighed softly: "You have also heard what Yuan Dazhi's family said, how lively the house is, I really want them to come and walk around, and it will be fine to live in the middle of the capital for a few days, so that you can calm down."

In this case, Qiutang was a little afraid to accept it.

Nowadays, houses in Jixian County are crowded with more than a dozen masters, large and small, and where there are many women, there will always be jealousy and rivalry, so it's very lively.

After the flood in Changle Town, even though the old house was built later, Wang Fuquan and the others did not go back to run the shop. Instead, they lived in Ji County and rented out the shop in Changle Town.

Wang Yuan'er naturally knew what Wang Fuquan was thinking. His father was a county magistrate, so he was a son of an official family. What's the point of going back and guarding a shop?Naturally, it's not like in Jixian County, where people coax him with respect and flatter him, the magistrate's uncle.

And Mrs. Zhang is also short-sighted. After knowing that Wang Er has participated in Liang Zhenling's medicinal material business, and knowing that it is a profitable business, I am afraid that Wang Er's family will be deceived by the Yu family, and Wang Fuquan will be like this. stay.

It's a pity for the shop in Changle Town. Now that it has been rebuilt, Changle Town has a number of new tax policies. Isn't it better to do some business seriously than stick to that idea?
Not to mention, that shop was given to Wang Fuquan by Zhang as a condition for entry before Yu's entry.

But everyone has their own fate, and what they think is good may not be what others think.

Well, it's everyone's choice, and it's really hard for me, the married aunt who lives next door.

It's just that it's hard for grandpa and grandma, they are old, and they still have to live such a life of listening to their children, grandchildren and daughter-in-law, and there is no peace.

"The old man and the others will come, and I don't dare to guarantee it, but I am sure that the second wife and Grandma Quan will definitely come." Qiutang said with a smile.

Wang Yuan'er snorted, "That's true."

Yuan Dazhi's family came back and said that after the second aunt went to Jixian County, she gradually started walking with the ladies of some status there, and her current style is quite similar to that of the magistrate's wife.

The same goes for Fuquan's daughter-in-law, she also met many people when she walked around with Mrs. Zhang.

But the aristocratic circle in Ji County is nothing like an aristocratic circle. In the capital, Wang Yuaner's side is the real elite circle. If he can get in and climb well, then he will really become a noble lady.

And Mrs. Xu, who had never been to the capital, naturally wanted to see the world.

"No matter how many people they come, let Bali Hutong clean up and prepare a few houses for them to live in." Wang Yuan'er ordered quietly.

Qiutang complied.

……

After the Qingming Festival, Wang Lan'er and the others came back from Changle Town to worship. They first went back to Bali Hutong to put down their luggage, and then came to Wang Yuan'er's side to say hello and talk about the sacrifice.

"Second Uncle and the others did not worship, only Grandpa, Grandma and Fuduo went back. When we came back, we asked Grandpa and Grandma to come back with us and drink the full moon wine from Brother Mo and Brother Yu, but they didn't Come on, it’s too far away and too tiring. I heard what Grandpa said, I want to stay in Changle Town, and I won’t go to Ji County in the future.” Wang Laner said.

Wang Yuan'er sat up straight all of a sudden: "What's going on, why did Grandpa and Grandma suddenly return to Changle Town? What did Second Uncle and the others say?"

"I asked, but they didn't say anything, but grandpa looked at me very strangely. I asked Fuduo again, and Fuduo only said that the second uncle and second aunt provoked grandpa and they were unhappy. When they came back, it was the two Uncle sent quite a few escorts to escort them back." Wang Lan'er shook her head and said.

Wang Yuan'er lowered her face: "Did Second Aunt follow her back?"

Seeing Wang Lan'er nodding, she frowned tightly, very dissatisfied, what's the matter, Weng Gu didn't go back to serve after returning home, leaving them alone in Changle Town?

What the hell happened? If it was just annoyance, Wang Er and the others admitted two mistakes and coaxed them, but they forced the two elders to hide in Changle Town. It must not be as simple as unhappiness. Something must have happened , otherwise how could they go back?
The more Wang Yuan'er thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he called Qiutang, and ordered: "You ask your family to arrange someone to go to Ji County to inquire about what happened to the second uncle's house, both big and small. Grandpa and Grandma They suddenly returned to Changle Town, saying that they could not go to Jixian County. Then send Yuan Dazhi's family to visit Changle Town in person, to say hello to the old man and the others, and ask her to ask the servant carefully what is going on in Jixian County."

Qiutang was surprised, and respectfully agreed, and went down to make arrangements.
