Eldest daughter

Chapter 505 Fanwai ([-])

Cui Yuan's trip south originally planned to play leisurely until the twelfth lunar month of winter before turning back, and then he would hand over the booklet to the emperor for a release, but the plan couldn't keep up with the change. After sinking, she never woke up again, and passed away on a crane in her sleep.

Mrs. Cui is old and will pass away soon. Cui Yuan, as a grandson, will naturally go back to wear sackcloth and mourning. Wang Yuaner and the children are no exception. The group is different from the one who came to play calmly. They hurried back, Cui Yuan Even ahead of Wang Yuan'er and the others, they rode fast horses towards Beijing.

When they returned to Beijing, it was already the beginning of November, and Wang Yuaner got out of the carriage with a pale face. The people in the mansion stepped forward, but before they could hand over the white linen filial piety, their eyes fell on Wang Yuaner's abdomen, and they were taken aback for a moment.

The second grandma is pregnant again, and she is already pregnant, but it is really possible to give birth!
Wang Yuan'er looked at the woman who was stunned, smiled wryly, and touched her stomach. The child was conceived at the end of June, and it is nearly five months now.

It was agreed that they would be born again in two years, but they couldn't stand the love between the two of them. In Mo Geer, they were one year and three months old, and they were pregnant again. No wonder these servants were dumbfounded. They were their own godmothers. Why didn't they talk about their own belly? Seeing the wind grows!
Well, she also admitted that the births did come one after another!
Mrs. Cui has been dead for eleven days, and one day later, he will be sent to the temple to stop the dead, and then after seven to seven days, he will be sent back to his ancestral home, Shouzhou Prefecture, for burial.

Wang Yuan'er had already removed the hairpin ring, changed into plain clothes, put on filial piety clothes, and wiped the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief Dong Xue handed over. 'Crying' entered the house.

There were white lanterns and flags hanging everywhere in the mansion, and they looked a little startled, but Chu Geer was fine, holding Wang Yuaner's skirt tightly, his small mouths were pursed into a straight line, and he kept silent, while Mo Geer and Yu Geer were still talking. Little, the two of them kept their mouths flat and buried their heads on the nurse's chest.The mother-in-law led Wang Yuaner and others to the mourning hall. Before entering the mourning hall, Cui Yuan came out wearing a big filial sackcloth. Seeing Wang Yuaner's pale face, he frowned, and whispered: "You are pregnant. Body, be careful, call someone if you feel uncomfortable, don’t force yourself.”

Wang Yuaner nodded.

After entering the mourning hall, there were quite a few clansmen guarding there. When they saw her coming in, they all cast their eyes over, very dissatisfied, but their gazes fell on her slightly protruding abdomen, and they were all taken aback for a moment.

This Cui Yuan's daughter-in-law is really capable of giving birth, and this belly really grows whenever the wind blows!
Mrs. Cui's eyes were glued to Wang Yuan'er's stomach, she was pregnant again, unexpectedly pregnant again?

Wang Yuan'er cried all the way to the coffin, someone stepped forward to persuade her, then helped her up, offered incense, and said to Mrs. Cui: "Your daughter-in-law is very filial, and you have come to see her off when you are pregnant. The old man is also comforted, you see she is pregnant again, and her children are the most important thing, so she can't be confronted, so let's send her back! This filial piety is here."

Mrs. Cui felt as if she had eaten a fly, and felt very uncomfortable. Her own daughter-in-law never got pregnant, but she was lucky, like some beans, she got pregnant as soon as she put it down.

"Go back and rest in the courtyard." Mrs. Cui waved her hand.

Wang Yuan'er was exhausted after driving for a while, so she cried a few more times and went back to the yard first.

Back in the yard, the girl got busy all by herself, holding hot water, heating handkerchiefs, waiting for Wang Yuan'er to change into plain clothes, helping her to sit on the kang, and putting a soft cushion behind her waist, so that she was comfortable Take a long breath.

It was the first time for the children to encounter such a big event, and they were also terrified. When they were sent back, they all went to Wang Yuan'er's side and comforted them for a long time before they were willing to go to rest with their nurses.

Wang Yuan'er rested for an hour, and then called Nanny Zhong to come over and talk.

Nanny Zhong gave her a salute, and seeing her bulging belly, she immediately burst into a smile, but she soon realized that her behavior was wrong, she was busy concentrating, but she was also very happy in her heart.

Although the daughter-in-law married by the second master came from a poor family, she is really impeccable in terms of her birth.Look at this, she is pregnant again, if she gives birth to another young master, it will be a big deal.

Wang Yuan'er asked about the death of the old man, it was good, why did he go suddenly?
"When autumn came, the old man became ill. There were good times and bad times, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was all over. Who knew that on the day he went, he suddenly said at night that he wanted to eat a bowl of bean soup, and everyone in the big kitchen took a rest. I heard that I hurriedly got up and did it. After eating the game cock, the old man ate another chicken leg, and then fell asleep contentedly, who would have thought that the old man would have passed away when this boy went to serve him the next day!" Zhong Nam Mama wiped away her tears as she said, "I guess the old man knew that his time had come, so he wanted to eat enough and go on the road."

Wang Yuan'er shuddered, and lived her life with dignity. She was more in awe of gods and ghosts than unbelief. Hearing the old man like this at first glance, she also felt a little intrusive.

She wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Grandma, don't be sad either. The old man walked away in his sleep. I heard that he still had a smile on his face. He is also an old man, and he is full of children and grandchildren. This is also a joy and mourning." Seeing her wiping her tears, Grandma Zhong hurriedly A word of advice.

Wang Yuaner nodded.

While talking, the girl came to report that Cui Yuan was back, Madam Zhong stood up, gave Cui Yuan a salute, and then retreated.

Wang Yuan'er wanted to get up, but Cui Yuan pressed her and said, "Don't get up, I'll talk to you when I come back, rest for a while, and I have to go to the mourning hall to watch after a while."

"You have to take care of your body, you've lost weight." Wang Yuan'er touched his cheek.

Cui Yuan responded, and said: "Tomorrow, I will send the spirit to the temple to stop the spirit. The funeral will be over. I will help the spirit return home after 49 days."

"I heard from Mammy that the old man left with a smile, so don't be too sad." Wang Yuan'er held his hand to comfort him.

Cui Yuan smiled, lowered his head and said: "The old man actually loves the elder brother the most. He placed a lot of high hopes on the elder brother. It was only after that happened that he couldn't help it. I know, there is more or less something in his heart. blame me."

Wang Yuaner frowned and held his hand tightly.

Cui Yuan patted her hand and said: "I'm fine, he's gone, I don't blame him."

"Well, you have me and the kids."

"Yes, I'm content with you guys." Cui Yuan smiled slightly, and said again: "I'll be swayed for a while, after an hour, you wake me up."

Wang Yuan'er quickly waited for him to rest, looked at his frown in his sleep, and sighed softly.

On the third day of November, Old Master Cui died at Puling Temple outside the city. Emperor Jing gave Old Master Cui the posthumous title of Duke Zhongwu, which is also an honor after death.

Cui's residence held a funeral, and the masters seemed to have lost a layer of skin, as if they had lost half their lives. Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cheng were both sick and exhausted.

No wonder it is said that the funeral is the most fatal thing, after all, there are so many things.

Mrs. Cui's and Cheng's illness, the middle class fell on Wang Yuaner's head again. After Wang Yuaner's power over the middle class before, the servants in the mansion did not dare to make trouble, knowing that Wang Yuaner was in temporary care. There are also examples of the rules from the past, and all of them are very cooperative. It can be said that this is the smoothest time for Wang Yuaner to connect with each other.

Even so, Cheng didn't dare to be sick for too long, and after a few days of rest, he took Zhong Chiu back, because Wang Yuan'er was pregnant after all.

Old Master Cui passed away, and both Cui Yuan and Master Cui would hand over their son Ding You to keep their filial piety for the old man.

Cui Yuan is very eager, he has long wanted to challenge the emperor, now is the right time for Ding You, but Master Cui is reluctant, he is already fifty, this Ding You, will there be a chance to come back again in the future? It's hard to say in the court.

But keeping filial piety is a must, no matter how unwilling he is, he can only hand over the papers, otherwise, just wait for the censor to give him a basket of impeachment papers, and be ridiculed by the world.

Therefore, after Master Cui handed over the booklet, he fell ill as a matter of course.

When Cui Yuan came back from the emperor, he thought it was funny to think of the slightly depressed expression of the emperor.

"This Ding You is probably the first one who is as happy as you." Wang Yuan'er handed him a bowl of bird's nest porridge and said with a smile.

"It's been seven years since the emperor came to the throne. When do you think I've been idle? I went to one yamen after another, and almost died. My life is miserable! Now Ding You, let me go It's a big vacation. I've already thought about it. After you give birth, the baby will be a hundred days old. I will take you and the children back to Shouzhou Prefecture to observe filial piety. Shouzhou is also a good place. Let's live there for a couple of days In [-], when Ding You's term expires, if the emperor still wants to use me, then I will ask you to let me go, if not, can we go to other places?" Cui Yuan talked about his plan.

Wang Yuan'er raised her eyebrows: "Are you determined to escape from the capital?"

He always said to let it out, and she knew in her heart that he didn't want herself and the children to be wronged in this mansion.

Cui Yuan raised his eyebrows: "What's so good about the capital? The world outside is wonderful. We have several sons. It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. I'm also teaching our sons."

Wang Yuaner scoffed.

Cui Yuan leaned over, touched her belly and said, "This time, let's have a girl, let's pamper her, don't let people bully her, and choose a good husband for her in the future."

Wang Yuan'er laughed, and said angrily, "She hasn't been born yet, so you're thinking about her getting married."

Cui Yuan laughed straight.

Wang Yuan'er thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to go to Shouchuan Mansion next year as you said."

"Ok?"

"Brother Ting passed the Juren examination in Qiuwei this year. My aunt means that he will be engaged to Lan'er in the twelfth lunar month. Next year, if Brother Ting can pass in Chunwei, he will get married and have a double happiness." Wang Yuan'er explained: "Next year Lan'er It's time for Erji, if it's really Brother Ting who can really pass the Jinshi exam, double happiness will be double happiness, marry her, and I can settle my worries. So for a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the capital."

Cui Yuan frowned and said: "Okay, let's go again in the next year."

Wang Yuan'er nodded: "Then you have to hope that the emperor will not take away his love when the time comes."

Cui Yuan was stunned, and fell down on the kang with a howl, thinking silently in his heart, how to make Ding You wait until the time is right.
