Eldest daughter

Chapter 504

In June of the seventh year of Jingsheng, Cui Yuan's fleet of ships going south to patrol the river stopped and stopped all the way. Many local officials got the news and prepared to welcome them early and cooperate with auditing and repairing the river.

In the flood season in June, after passing the south of the Yellow River, the more it went to the south, the more rain there was. In some places, the dams were washed away again, and the homes of the people were destroyed. Naturally, there were many complaints. When it came to the territory of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Cui Yuan couldn't bear it. Stop, and send a stern official authority.

He doesn't talk nonsense with others. Under the jurisdiction of any local official, someone died due to a breach of an embankment. If the accounts are wrong, they will all be arrested and torn off their official hats. It's really a catch and a ruthless one.For a while, Cui Yuan's resolute demeanor made many local officials panic when they heard about it.

After staying in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for more than ten days, Wang Yuan'er took a few children to visit many places with Mrs. Song Er and bought a lot of things. Fortunately, he came by boat, otherwise, there would be so many things. Can't fit anymore.

Cui Yuan cleaned up all the corrupt officials in the area, walked around with Wang Yuan'er for two days, and then set off again.

By July, the weather was already extremely hot, and the group finally arrived in the south of the Yangtze River and lived in the second wife of Song's other courtyard.

When they arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, Cui Yuan checked the accounts as usual, and Wang Yuaner felt a little uncomfortable, so he rested for a few days, and then followed Mrs. Song to visit everywhere.

The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and there are countless literati. The women in the south of the Yangtze River are also more graceful, not compared to the folk customs in Beijing. Be more open.

So Wang Yuan'er and the others also saw many girls walking around without wearing a hat, not sticking to the trivial details.

It coincides with the Qiqiao Festival, and Jiangnan City holds a Qiqiao competition every year. Misses from various families make various embroidery products. Whoever wins the top prize will naturally be a good thing for the family and the parties involved.

It is said that this night of begging for cleverness is also the day when many young men and girls make love. When walking on the street, if a young man confesses his love, the woman agrees, and she can give the garland she is wearing to the other party. Of course, what I received was a purse.

In order to distinguish between men and women who are married or engaged, a red ribbon is tied around the wrist, which means that they are already married or married.

Begging Qiao Xiye, Cui Yuan left behind the three little devils at home, and took Wang Yuan'er quietly out of the other courtyard, and came to the city to join in the fun.

At this time, Jiangnan City is brightly lit, as if it were daytime, and the crowds are like a tide. Girls are walking around wearing new clothes and jewelry, smiling, wearing a garland of begonias on their wrists, and young gentlemen, They are all wearing blue purses, pointing at the lanterns and reciting poems, while looking at the girls who are passing by.

Cui Yuanla, who was wearing a light purple embroidered Yutang spring dress, and Wang Yuaner, who wore an exquisite hairpin, also appeared on the street. Both of them had red ribbons tied around their wrists. From this side, but after seeing the ribbon on her wrist, he smiled and turned his head away.

No matter how good the beautiful woman is, she has already found her own.

"I've inquired about it. There's a theater set up on Zhengyang Street in front of it. The opera started at [-]:[-] o'clock. Tonight, in order to celebrate the festival, the performance is Cowherd and Weaver Girl. There is still plenty of time. Let's walk slowly." Cui Yuan said tightly He held her hand carefully, lest the two of them be scattered by the crowd.

Wang Yuaner smiled and hummed, looking forward to it.

Since it is the Qiqiao Festival, most of the hawkers on the street have Qiqiao items. Of course, all kinds of snacks and jewelry are also indispensable.

Wang Yuan'er had lived two lifetimes, and it was the first time to celebrate this Qiqiao Festival in a different place. She never expected it to be so lively, and her emotions were inadvertently aroused and excited.

"Fried wontons, fresh and hot. I have eaten fried wontons from my old He's family. I want to find a happy and happy son-in-law, a beautiful woman, a harmonious husband and wife, sweet and sweet, and my wishes come true."

The two passed by a small stall, smelling crispy and fragrant, Wang Yuan'er couldn't help but pause and look over.

"It doesn't seem to be available in our side." She licked her small mouth.

"Want to eat?" Cui Yuan laughed amused by her greedy look, and greeted the boss: "Have a serving."

"Okay." The owner of the stall put a small bag in kraft paper and handed it over, saying: "After eating fried chaos, you husband and wife are harmonious and beautiful, and you will grow old together."

Wang Yuan'er raised her eyebrows when she heard this. The boss knows how to do business, and the kind words made people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Cui Yuan was even more joyful, handed over the money, and said: "I accept your good words, and I will give you some sauce."

"okay."
"This deep-fried wonton, dipped in this sweet and sour sauce, is extremely delicious... Ouch, slow down, it's hot." Cui Yuan didn't say a few words before Wang Yuan'er opened his mouth hissingly and kept slapping it in. wind.
Wang Yuan'er swallowed the wonton with difficulty, it was crispy yet sweet, very delicious.

"No one is robbing you." Cui Yuan poked her forehead amusedly.

Wang Yuan'er stuck out her tongue.

The two poked with bamboo sticks, quickly finished the bag of fried wontons, and walked forward hand in hand.

The shadows of the lights are like a dream, and there is a turmoil of people, and people can't stop passing by, talking and laughing loudly, and there is an endless stream of people.

Wang Yuan'er suddenly felt a little emotional, she lived a new life, the painful past of her previous life, with the death of her enemies, as she got better and better, gradually became a little blurred.

After repeated calculations, repeated struggles and proper management, she has gradually transformed from a submissive and weak village girl to the current wife of a fourth-rank official. people, you can disdain them.

It's like a dream, is she dreaming in her previous life, or is she really reliving her life?

Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly, Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly!
Wang Yuan'er suddenly panicked. She looked at the people beside her, at their clasped hands, trying to find out the most real thing.

The person in front of him had distinct facial features, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. What came from his hands was real warmth, which went all the way to his heart.

This is her husband, the father of her child, oh my god, this is the person she will spend her whole life with.

Wang Yuan'er felt a little relieved, he was there, really by her side, in her palm.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her in a daze, Cui Yuan couldn't help asking with concern, "Are you tired?"

Wang Yuaner shook his head and said: "I just think I am very lucky. God gave me such a chance to live my life again and meet you. Sometimes I wonder, is this just a dream or is it real? ? Will I wake up from the dream, and I will return to the previous life? A place where you and the children are not there?"

Cui Yuan's heart tightened.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't I well by your side?" He scolded in a low voice, with a slight tremor in his voice.

"Well, you're here, and I'm here too." Tears flickered in Wang Yuan'er's eyes.

The two hands clasped tightly.

"You know that I have lost my biological mother since I was born. I was brought up under my wife's name. In the first few years, my elder brother treated me like a younger brother. I loved my house like a bird. I didn't have a biological mother again, and my wife treated me like my own child. Until I was five years old After that incident happened that year, I had no home. My elder brother didn’t know the world, and no one protected me, and I was even trampled by the servants. Later, I followed the emperor to fight everywhere. For me, home is very illusory .” Cui Yuan took her hand and walked forward slowly.

"...I am wandering around alone, lonely and helpless. Do you know what day I am most afraid of? It is a holiday, and other people's families are full of reunions, laughing and making troubles. I am the only one. Later After marrying you, I have a family, and I know that home is so warm, with you and children, I am no longer alone, I have a family."

Wang Yuan'er heard tears welling up in her eyelashes, and said: "Yes, you have us, you have a family, you are not alone."

Cui Yuan stopped to look at her, brushed her hair behind her ears, and said with a smile, "Do you remember when you first saw me?"

Wang Yuaner was taken aback, and thought for a while: "Is it in the small courtyard of Dali?"

Cui Yuan shook his head, and said: "It was when you were selling that tea egg in the town that year, when the emperor and I passed by, I bought two for you."

Wang Yuan'er opened his mouth wide. Has his fate with her come so early?
"Unexpectedly?" Cui Yuan smiled and said: "You and I are destined to be married, we tied the red thread a long time ago, you and my little finger, there is already a thread connected to each other, we are a natural pair. "

Wang Yuan'er chuckled, pinched his nose playfully and said, "You just know how to talk poorly."

"The theater is open, and the Cowherd and Weaver Girl are going to meet each other."

"Go, go, go to the theater."

"Hey, don't squeeze, why are you squeezing, why are you in a hurry?"

"I want to see Zhinu."

As soon as the crowd rushed and crowded, Cui Yuan and Wang Yuan'er were rushed away without any precaution.

The temperature in his hand suddenly dropped, but the person had disappeared. Wang Yuan'er was circling around anxiously, constantly standing on tiptoe, calling Cui Yuan's name loudly.

"Yuan'er, Yuan'er." Cui Yuan was equally anxious, pushing the people around him, tiptoeing and looking around, but he couldn't see where she was because of the crowd.

Cui Yuan was in a hurry, and suddenly he had a quick wit, he took out a handful of copper coins from his purse, and threw them into the air: "I have picked up some silver."

The crowded people really boiled, they all bowed their heads to pick it up, Cui Yuan looked left and right, but he didn't look at his child's mother, where did she go?

Is it really just a dream as she said?

Cui Yuan stood there blankly, staring at the empty palm in a daze.

"Hey, please."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, like the sound of heaven.

Cui Yuan looked back suddenly.

The bright lights flickered, and not far away, fireworks burst out suddenly, bright and gorgeous, and she was standing in the crowd, looking at him with a smile on her face.

The four eyes meet each other, full of warmth, he and she are the objects of each other's life together.

A scholar shook his head and sang the words:
In the east wind night, flowers and trees are bloomed, and the stars are like rain.

BMW engraves the car and the road is full of fragrance.

The phoenix flute sounded, the jade pot turned light, and the fish and dragon danced overnight.

The golden strands of moth snow willow, the smile is full of fragrance.

The crowd searched for him thousands of times, and when I looked back, the man was there, where the lights were dim.
