Eldest daughter

Chapter 503

Spring went to autumn, and another year passed in a blink of an eye. In the seventh year of Jingping, Ren Cui Yuan's mouth was worn out, but Emperor Jing refused to allow him.

For this, Cui Yuan felt deeply guilty towards Wang Yuan'er. Fortunately, since Mrs. Cui's incident last year, she already knew that the two of them were wolf cubs not to be trifled with, and they no longer confronted each other head-on. .Although we live in the same mansion, since we only go to pay our respects on the [-]th day of the lunar new year, we don't need to meet each other very often, and our days are much more comfortable.

Even so, Cui Yuan also felt guilty in his heart.

After a lot of trouble, his mouth was worn out and he was playing tricks, so Emperor Jing swiped his pen and asked him to take an envoy to the south to inspect the river. As an imperial envoy, he was allowed to bring his family with him.

Although this inspection of the river is also for business, it is also the happiest job Cui Yuan has accepted since he became an official, because he can take his family with him, so what is the difference from visiting mountains and rivers with his salary on vacation?
This is his first good holiday since he became an official!
Cui Yuan almost walked into the courtyard of the mansion by stepping on the clouds. When he found Wang Yuan'er, he kissed him and said excitedly like a child: "Clean up, pack up quickly, let's go south, let's go play."

Wang Yuan'er was reciting the Three Character Classic with a few children, and when he was kissed so suddenly, she couldn't help but blush in front of the children: "What are you doing? All the children are here, the older you are, the more inappropriate you are."

"Shame, mother and father kiss and shame." Brother Chu covered his eyes and shouted, brother Mo Yu didn't know how to speak, he just giggled, showing a few white corn-like deciduous teeth.

Wang Yuan'er's face turned even redder, she gave him a glare, and said, "This is nonsense, going south?"

Cui Yuan nodded, kicked off his shoes, sat down on the kang, hugged Brother Yu, and said: "I have asked the emperor to inspect the river. I will go all the way south and bring my family with me. Let's make a big building Boat, take the children and go south, have you ever been on a boat? That kind of huge boat, you can eat and live on board, and you can also see the scenery on both sides of the river.”

Wang Yuaner's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Really? Can you bring your family with you on this business trip?"

"I've already told the emperor, if you don't allow me, I'll drop the pick." Cui Yuan snorted softly.

Wang Yuan'er twitched the corner of her mouth, the one who dared to confront the emperor was probably the guy in front of her.

But going south...

She has lived two lifetimes, and has never been to other places except Changle Town, Tongzhou and the capital. Going south must be very interesting.

"When are we going to leave? Are we really taking the children? Oh, there are too many people who need to take the waiters. Let me see who we have to take. It takes a conspiracy, and the accompanying things..." Wang Yuan'er turned around.

Cui Yuan looked at her happy look, his heart seemed to be filled with something, he knew she would be happy.

Wang Yuan'er was really happy, she was married, she was already a mother, and she was married to a wealthy family, so she had to abide by the precepts of being a woman, and she must be cautious in her words and deeds, now it is rare to have a chance to go out and look outside She is naturally happy.

……

It is necessary to take the whole family to the south, and it is in the form of traveling in the mountains and rivers. Everything must be prepared, so that you can play and do the errands assigned by the emperor well. Otherwise, you will be impeached by the censor Bar.

Therefore, Cui Yuan spends almost every day in the yamen collecting information and preparing booklets for accounting and taxation, in case they are needed for checking the accounts but not available. Not only that, but also the information of the responsible officials along the way must be prepared.

The preparation work on Cui Yuan's side was cumbersome, and Wang Yuan'er also led Dong Xue to make a list and prepare things one by one. After all, if you have to bring a child, all these things must be well-prepared.

The news that the second-bedroom family was going south spread throughout the mansion, Cheng and the third-bedroom Jiang were very envious, but envy was nothing but envy, but they didn't have this fate, and their husband took them to play.

When the main courtyard heard the news, Mrs. Cui was very displeased, and said a few words about being restless and restless, but she didn't intervene in the affairs of the second bedroom.

At that meeting last year, she copied a hundred chapters of the Diamond Sutra, but it broke her to death, and she recuperated for two months before she regained her energy, so now she trembles when she hears the scripture copying, how dare she point fingers?She didn't dare to offend those two wolf cubs, what would she do if she said something to the palace?
Therefore, Mrs. Cui said a few words in a strange manner, and stopped caring about the movement of the second room.

And the news that Wang Yuan'er was going to go south with her husband naturally spread to her grandparents, as well as Bali Hutong. Wang Yuan'er thought that Lan'er and Yan'er were getting married soon, and there were not many opportunities to go out like this, so she took them with her , As for Fuduo, it is said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, so naturally you have to take it with you.

In this way, together with the serving maids and young servants, the team will be huge.

……

In March, after brother Mo and brother Yu celebrated their first birthdays, in mid-April, Cui Yuan took Wang Yuaner and the children and set off southward.

There were a lot of people going south this time, Emperor Jing didn't approve a few official ships, Cui Yuan was not annoyed, he went straight to Song San, and directly transferred three two-story ships from him, full of people and things, mighty Swinging south.

And Song San knew that he was going to take Wang Yuan'er and a few children to the south to play, so he took his mother and children with him, and transferred two boats, followed Cui Yuan, and went all the way south in a leisurely way.

Therefore, at the port leaving the capital, you can see a luxurious big ship sailing all the way away from the boundary of the capital.

Cui Yuan's boat to find Song Sandiao was naturally taken by his family, and all the officials who followed him to the south all took the official boat.

It’s almost May, the mist, rain and mist on the Hejiang River, the breeze is gentle, which makes people feel refreshed.

Wang Yuan'er was wearing a water blue dress embroidered with lotus and a silver and white lotus cloak, standing on the upper deck of the building, watching the infinite scenery on both sides of the river, with the corners of her mouth raised.

Song San's building boat is very good, magnificent and luxurious, and it is also solidly built. Standing on the upper deck, it doesn't feel shaking and bumping at all, as if the building boat is walking on flat ground.

"I can't find you everywhere, so I know you are here."

A familiar voice came from behind, and Wang Yuaner didn't turn her head. She turned her head slightly when someone hugged her shoulders, and asked with a smile, "Is this business done?"

Although it is for fun, Cui Yuan is still responsible for patrolling the river. Naturally, he has to do business with the officials who come with him, and he doesn't have to be free for a moment.

"How can it be done so quickly? The repair of the river is allocated money every year. This account is very deep. It has to be carefully checked and straightened out before it can be done. Long-term work and long-term work , but I can’t be in a hurry.” Cui Yuan hugged her, and while there was no one around, he quickly took a sip on her cheek: “I must come to steal some incense.”

It was still in broad daylight, Wang Yuaner blushed, and gently pushed him: "It's broad daylight, no one is serious."

Cui Yuan laughed like a rascal.

"Come here, at this hour, the boatmen and the others should be fishing for lunch." Cui Yuan pulled her to the stern of the boat and looked at it. Sure enough, the boatmen were taking their nets and preparing to cast them.

A tall boatman put the net in his hand, aimed at a point, and suddenly threw it into the air with force. The fishing net cast a beautiful arc and landed in the river.

"Although I grew up in a small town, this is the first time I've seen a net of fish like this." Wang Yuan'er said with wide eyes.

"There is also a kind of throwing the net directly and pulling it up after a while. Look, the boatman is already collecting the net." Cui Yuan pointed.

Wang Yuan'er quickly looked over, and sure enough, a boatman was slowly pulling the net. Following his movement, the net that fell in the river was pulled up, and some fish were already stuck in the net, struggling and bouncing. It looks even more dazzling in the sun.

"There are really a lot of fish in this net." Wang Yuan'er said excitedly.

Cui Yuan looked at it, and said: "It's not too much, but it's not too much. I've seen more, some fish are so big..."

As he spoke, he made gestures, Wang Yuaner's eyes sparkled, and he boasted, "You have seen so much."

Cui Yuan got more excited after hearing this, and was about to continue talking when Xia Yu approached him, bowed his knees and saluted, and said, "Grandma, Mrs. Song, please go and set up a horse hanging foot."

Wang Yuan'er said with a bitter face when she heard this: "Oh, the godmother is coming to blackmail me again."

Mrs. Song's second wife and their boats followed behind, and then they simply merged into one. Several boats came and went, very close.

This female family member is on a long journey, and she is such a big thing on a large boat. The usual pastime is naturally playing horse hanging and various cards.

And Wang Yuan'er doesn't know how to play horses, but Mrs. Song and the others know it well and are familiar with it. If one of the three is missing, they will naturally be called Wang Yuan'er. She can't, so naturally they will lose.

Cui Yuan was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "Come on, I'll help you read the cards."

Wang Yuan'er raised his eyebrows, he can still hit the horse hanging?

Facts have proved that Cui Yuan is not only good at playing, but also very good at counting cards, but after a few games, he has already won dozens of taels of silver. Grandma Song San said that she was out of money and asked Song San to save the game.

Song San came over and pulled Cui Yuan away, and said: "What's so interesting about playing cards for a woman's house? Let's go, I have a business here, are you interested?"

Cui Yuan raised his eyebrows, he was not interested in business before, but now he has, after all, he has many sons, and in the future, he will need money everywhere for dowry gifts, so he has to earn more dowry gifts for his sons.

As a result, when Cui Yuan left, Wang Yuan'er lost all the money he won, and soon lost everything.

"Don't play anymore, don't play anymore." Wang Yuan'er pushed the cards and said that he was bored.
Grandma Song San teased with a smile: "I think sister, you can't do without your brother-in-law by your side. This is the end of the loss. In my opinion, you will never be able to live without him in this life."

Wang Yuan'er blushed slightly, and said angrily, "Third sister-in-law is really, she won my money, and she still wants to tease me, godmother, you want to make decisions for your daughter."

"Your third sister-in-law is right. Boy Yuan is very good. You married him right." Mrs. Song said with a smile.

The smile in Wang Yuan'er's eyes leaked out, he is indeed very good, and she did not wrong her husband.
