Chapter 44 Follow me and eat meat

The movements of the three were very consistent, and they couldn't wait to take a sip.

Nanny Zhang is relatively more elegant. As a relatively respectable nanny in the mansion, she can often eat meat, but the two long-term workers are different. In the past, when the schedule was good, she would eat more. In the past two years, the only time to eat meat is during Chinese New Year.

I thought that eating meat was already a happy thing, but when they tasted the taste, all three of them were amazed, this time even Zhang Nanny was no exception.

This is different from what they eat elsewhere!

How can this meat be so delicious?

The three of them immersed themselves in the rice. After eating the meat, the rice mixed with the broth was indescribably delicious.

The three of them ate fast in the first half, and then ate very slowly in the second half.

Fast because it was so delicious, I couldn't help eating mouthful after mouthful, and slowly because it was so delicious, I wanted to taste more, and I didn't want to eat it after a few mouthfuls.

After eating, the two long-term workers didn't have the nerve to finish talking, Zhang Nanny couldn't help asking Wei Ruo: "Miss, is your meat made in the kitchen? How do you make it so delicious?"

"Xiumei did it." Wei Ruo replied.

"Miss Xiumei's cooking skills are so good!" Madam Zhang couldn't help praising her, and at the same time, she looked at Xiumei with something that she didn't have before.

From the first time she saw Xiumei, Nanny Zhang looked down on her, because she was a maid hired by the He family for Wei Ruo. She stayed with Wei Ruo in the countryside and had no education. of.

I didn't expect this girl to have such abilities! It seems that this countryman is not all unruly and shallow-sighted, and there are some amazing things!

Feeling the astonishment in Zhang Nanny's eyes, Xiumei couldn't help smiling.

It was the first time for her to see Nanny Zhang, who looked at people with her nostrils, showing such an expression to her!

Wei Ruo said to Nanny Zhang and the two long-term workers: "Lunch is only one aspect. As long as you follow me and work hard, the tasks I assigned are completed satisfactorily. I will not treat you badly."

At this time, one of the long-term workers, Agui, finally couldn't help it: "Miss, do you mean to provide us with such delicious lunch in the future?"

"Not only lunch, but also other benefits." Wei Ruo promised.

"Miss, don't worry, we will follow you well!" Agui quickly expressed his opinion to Wei Ruo.

"Me too!" Another long-term worker Xiaoba hastily seconded.

Don't look at just a meal, it is very rare for them. Although I don't know what other preferential treatment Wei Ruo mentioned, it is enough to make them work harder for Wei some.

Nurse Zhang didn't say anything. Although she thought the meal Wei Ruo gave was delicious, her eyelids were not so shallow, so she wouldn't change her opinion of the young lady just because of a meal.

Just as she was thinking, Xiumei walked over and handed Mammy Zhang a small cloth bag.

At the same time, I also gave Agui and Xiaoba each a pack. The weight of each pack is the same, and it feels quite heavy in the hand.

Nanny Zhang opened the cloth bag curiously, saw the food inside, and asked, "Could this be the dried sweet potato that the eldest lady gave to the ladies?"

Nanny Zhang heard about it, and it is said that it has won unanimous praise from everyone, but she has never seen what the real thing looks like.

"Well, yes, this thing is easy to preserve and very filling. You can eat it when you are hungry or take it home for your children to try." Wei Ruo said.

Out of curiosity, Agui and Xiaoba took a piece and tasted it carefully.

Neither of them spoke, but judging from their expressions, they liked and enjoyed dried sweet potatoes very much. For low-level people like them, sweets are a luxury, so the reaction is bigger than ordinary people.

Nanny Zhang looked at it for a while, but there was nothing special about the appearance, it was not as attractive as those delicate pastries.

But driven by curiosity, I also tasted two sips.

Although the reaction was not as great as the two long-term workers, they also showed their liking.

Mother Zhang, who was complaining in her heart just now that she would not change her attitude towards Wei Ruo just because of a meal, is now wavering because of a bag of dried sweet potatoes.

This eldest lady seems to be really generous to those who work with her...

The three of them only ate one piece and didn't eat any more. One was that Wei Ruo's lunch was sufficient and they were full, and the other was that they all wanted to keep it and take it home to have a taste of it with their families.

After lunch, everyone continued to work. This time, the two long-term workers obviously had to work harder.

Before they were not lazy, but they were just following their duties. Now Wei Ruo gave them the motivation to work harder, and their spirits are different.

Not far away, another group of people went out of the south gate like Wei Ruo.

Chu Lan glanced across the desolate south of the city, thinking that everything was as he imagined, desolate and desolate, but he didn't want to see a few figures in the middle of the empty wasteland.

"What's going on?" Chu Lan asked his subordinates.

"Returning to Your Highness, this group of people belonged to Wei Xiaowei's family, and they said they were trying to plant wasteland. If they succeed, they can lead the people in the city to plant here after the war improves. This matter has already been approved by Qianzhi County. ." The attendants who followed reported to Chu Lanhui.

As Chu Lan's entourage, when Chu Lan visits a place, he will investigate some basic conditions of the place in advance.

"People from the Wei family?" Chu Lan asked in surprise, "When did the Wei family know how to do such a thing? It doesn't seem like something that family can do."

Lu Yuhong said with a smile: "Your Highness, it seems that the Wei family has given quite a lot of surprises. Last time it was calligraphy, and this time it was land reclamation."

Chu Lan didn't refute Lu Yuhong's words, but still kept his eyes on the people of the Wei family who opened up wasteland, and asked, "Who is the person in command over there?"

The following subordinates looked at it seriously for a while, and then gave a guess: "It may be the eldest lady of the Wei family who just returned home."

"Miss who just returned home?" Chu Lan was a little curious.

"The Wei family said to the outside world that they were raised in the countryside because of poor health, and they were brought back recently." The subordinate replied.

"I have been raised in the country, so I am good at farming?" Chu Lan asked.

"It is said to be so." The subordinate replied.

Lu Yuhong said with a smile: "It's a bit novel to be a lady of the Earl's Mansion who grew up in the countryside and is proficient in farming."

"Whether she is proficient or not depends on what kind of tricks she can grow. It doesn't mean that she is proficient if she can go to the ground." Chu Lan has reservations about this matter.

"That's true, only results are counted. In comparison, the Sibaozhai is more interesting." Lu Yuhong said.

Although the last time I went to inquire about the shopkeeper of the store and was declined, Lu Yuhong still had Sibao Zhai in his heart, and always felt that it was a good opportunity to make money.

After stopping briefly, Chu Lan led the crowd towards Moon Moon Mountain, without being attracted too much attention by this little episode.

Chapter 45 The Famous Ms.

After the soil improvement was completed, Wei Ruo ordered Nanny Zhang, Agui and Xiaoba to level the land and store water.

After the land was prepared, Wei Ruo came to the wasteland in the south of the city again, and brought a large bag of rice seeds.

When Wei Ruo handed over a bag of rice seeds to Nanny Zhang and asked her and Agui Xiaoba to plant the seeds, Nanny Zhang showed a hesitant expression, and after thinking about it, she tried to persuade Wei Ruo again:

"Miss, forgive me for asking too much, is it really okay to grow rice at this time? How about we change to other crops? Anyway, as long as it can be grown alive, other crops are also fine."

"Just plant this. Don't worry, this rice seed is a late rice seed. I brought it back from Huzhou Prefecture. Someone has already planted it there. The planting is just right at this time, and it won't fail." Wei Ruo was firm. , and with confidence.

"Really? There are such grains?" Nanny Zhang looked surprised.

"It's true. But don't spread this matter to the outside world, just plant it, and when the seedlings grow well, it will be more convincing to report."

If this had been said before, Nanny Zhang would never have believed it, but now the situation is a little different, she has a little more trust in Wei Ruo, although she still feels that some of Missy's ideas are too wild, they are those kinds of things The old farmers who lived in the field would not agree with their young lady's ideas.

Agui and Xiao Ba didn't think so much.

Agui said: "It's okay if the eldest lady says it's okay, we will listen to the eldest lady!"

Xiao Ba also said: "Yes, we can plant whatever the eldest lady tells us!"

Others are not important, anyway, the eldest lady treats them well, feeds them delicious food, fills their stomachs with their families, and just follow the eldest lady!

Wei Ruo told the two of them: "You should study hard and remember well. After this land is successfully built, other wastelands will be developed in the future. There will be more long-term workers at that time. We need you two who have already experienced teaching and teaching to improve the land. Experience to others. And the follow-up work of managing and leading these people will also be handed over to you."

Wouldn't they become foremen in the future?

Agui and Xiaoba excitedly agreed: "Miss, don't worry, we will do it seriously!"

The two of them took the rice seeds and started working hard.

The process of sowing is not troublesome. When the seeds grow into seedlings, the workload of transplanting will be greater.

If the seedlings can grow smoothly, it means that Wei Ruo's soil improvement is more than half successful.

So now they only need to wait half a month to know whether Wei Ruo's soil improvement has any effect.

After tossing around in the fields for a few days, Wei Ruo just had a free day when he was called by Yun to talk again.

The content of the conversation was still a cliché. Wei Ruo was asked to arrange the affairs of the wasteland in the south of the city to his subordinates as soon as possible, while he himself went to school in the magistrate's mansion.

Because it has been urged once, when Wei Ruo wants to delay this time, Yun has not given her a chance, and asked her to prepare, and it will be arranged for her in the next two days.

Seeing that the delay could no longer continue, Wei Ruo said nothing, and agreed to Yun's arrangement.

At night, Wei Ruo went to the dining hall to have dinner with everyone.

After dinner, everyone still sat together drinking tea and chatting.

Wei Yichen also reported some of his reading progress to his mother as usual, and Wei Yilin will also talk to Yun about what happened in the school.

Wei Qingwan doesn't talk much on weekdays, but today she hesitated to mention something: "Mother, the Xie family invited a lady, who is said to be the well-known Mr. Wang Caiwei."

Yun's eyes kept saying, "Really?"

Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin also showed surprise expressions.

Wang Caiwei is a well-known talented woman in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. She was born in a scholarly family with a deep family background.

Wang Caiwei, who lost her natal family's backing, is still pursued by many princes from aristocratic families, but they are all concubines instead of being married by a clear matchmaker.

Wang Caiwei, who is full of pride, is naturally unwilling to be a concubine, and finally chooses to marry a poor scholar.

Because of the poor life, Wang Caiwei began to teach rich and noble families.

Although she is down and out, Wang Caiwei is famous and talented; there are countless people who want to invite her to be a female husband at home.

It is said that Wang Caiwei's previous employer was the Ruan family in Qiantang, and the late old man of the Ruan family was the chief assistant who took office!

And now, the Xie family in the north of the city has invited her!

It seems that the rise of the Xie family is not groundless, and various signs have been revealed.

"Well, it's true, Zhilan told me." Wei Qingwan replied affirmatively, "Zhilan also said..."

"What else did she say?"

"Zhilan said that her mother now wants to arrange her to go to Xie's family to study with Miss Xie's family." Wei Qingwan lowered her head and whispered.

"Don't say that Mrs. Qian has such thoughts, if the Xie family invites Wang Caiwei, I have to find a way to let you go!" Yun said.

Although the current female gentlemen of Qian Zhixian's family are somewhat talented, they are only compared to ordinary people, and they are incomparable to the famous Wang Caiwei.

If you become a student of Wang Caiwei and return to the capital in the future, it will be enviable to say it!

Hearing this, Wei Yilin hurriedly said: "Mother, go and talk to Mrs. Xie's family, let my sister go! My sister is very talented and talented, that female gentleman will like to teach my sister!"

Wei Qingwan also looked at Yunshi expectantly, hoping that Yunshi would help her to talk to Xie's family and arrange for herself to go to Xie's house to listen to Mr. Wang's class.

"I'm afraid... the Xie family disagrees..." Yun muttered.

Their relationship with Xie's family is not deep, but they have only met a few times on things such as blessing cruises.

"Mom, why don't you help my sister ask, or we can send some more gifts to Xie's family!" Wei Yilin said innocently.

"Of course I will. As for giving gifts, it's not so easy. This gift has to be delivered to people's hearts. The Xie family may not like ordinary vulgar things." Yun's thoughts turned back and forth.

There were five people in a room, and all four of them were thinking about how to get Xie's family to agree to Wei Qingwan's going to Xie's house for class. Only Wei Ruo sat beside him, sipping tea calmly.

When she put down the teacup, Wei Yichen suddenly turned to look at her.

Looking at each other, Wei Ruo saw an apology in Wei Yichen's eyes.

Sorry? Why is he sorry?

After drinking tea, Wei Ruo left the dining hall and walked to Tingsongyuan. Wei Yichen caught up and said to Wei Ruo about what happened just now: "Ruoer, I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"We only mentioned the matter of letting Wanwan go to Xie's house to listen to Mr. Wang's class..."

"oh."

"Ruo'er, it's not that we didn't expect you, it's just that Mr. Wang's requirements for students are definitely higher than those of ordinary gentlemen..."

"I'm not qualified, right?" Wei Ruo helped him finish what he hadn't said.

Chapter 46 The Xie family agreed

"It's not that you are not qualified, it's just that you haven't been studying these years, and your foundation is weaker than Wanwan and the others." Wei Yichen explained.

"Yes." Wei Ruo calmly agreed.

"Ruo'er, mother will still try her best to arrange for you to attend classes at the magistrate's mansion." Wei Yichen added.

Although Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Yun are trying their best to find a way to arrange their daughters to go to Xie's house, the current female gentlemen of the magistrate's mansion should not be dismissed so quickly. in class.

Even if the Qian family doesn't invite them at that time, the Wei family can still invite the female gentleman to the house logically, so that it will not affect Wei Ruo's study.

"Oh." Wei Ruo still had that calm look.

The main reason is that there is nothing else to say.

"Ruoer..." Seeing Wei Ruo's calm appearance, Wei Yichen felt a little uncomfortable.

"I'll go back first if there's nothing else to do." Wei Ruo didn't want to continue this topic with Wei Yichen, so he left after speaking.

After Wei Ruo left, Wei Yichen thought for a long time, then returned to Cangyun Garden, and told Yun's thoughts: "Mother, when you go to Xie's mansion again, please ask Mrs. Xie if you can arrange for Ruo'er Shall we go?"

Yun's expression hesitated and said: "Yichen, if it's possible, I would naturally wish that both of my daughters would become Mr. Wang's students. But Ruo'er's situation...she can't do any piano, chess, calligraphy or painting, how can I do that?" Go tell Madam Xie about this?"

Hearing this, Wei Yichen didn't know what to say.

He knows the situation of Ruoer's younger sister, and she is far inferior to Wanwan in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The county magistrate agreed that sister Ruoer still looked at the face of their father as Captain Zhongxian, and also came from the Zhongyibo residence.

The Xie family and Mr. Wang Caiwei don't think highly of them because of these things.

But as an older brother, he always hopes that both younger sisters are well, and he doesn't want either one to be wronged.

"Mother, why don't you just ask, if the Xie family disagrees, it's the Xie family's business, we always ask for Ruo'er." Wei Yichen said.

"Yichen, it was a bit difficult for us to ask the Xie family to ask Wanwan to go to class together. If we mentioned two at a time, and it was still in Ruo'er's situation, it would inevitably not annoy the Xie family. Sometimes even Wanwan won't be able to do it, so what should I do?"

Mr. Yun has deep concerns in her heart. It is better to be able to succeed in one than to fail in both, right?

"My son knows." After hearing Yun's explanation, Wei Yichen had no choice but to give up.

Mr. Yun thought about preparing for three days, and then took a gift to Xie's house.

Yun didn't come back until ten o'clock in the evening.

When he came back, Yun looked excited.

Wei Qingwan had been waiting at home for a whole day, and she asked her maid Cuihe to guard the door, and when she saw Mrs. Yun coming back, she immediately rushed to Cangyun Garden.

"Mother!"

"Wanwan, you're here! Just in time, Mother wants to tell you good news!"

"Mother, what is the good news?"

"Stupid child, what good news can there be? Naturally, the Xie family agrees that you will attend Mr. Wang's class with Miss Xie!"

"Really? The Xie family really agreed?" Wei Qingwan was so happy that she couldn't believe her ears.

"of course it's true!"

"Mother!" Wei Qingwan hugged Yunshi excitedly.

Mr. Yun patted Wei Qingwan on the back, "Okay, okay, things are going well, and my mother's heart can be relieved."

"Well, thank you mother for working so hard for me, mother has worked hard."

"Stupid child, parents are supposed to worry about their children's affairs in this world. Mother is very happy that you can have a good future."

At night, Wei Mingting went home.

Mr. Yun told him the good news excitedly: "Husband, the Xie family has agreed to let my daughter go to the Xie family to attend classes together!"

"Really?"

"It's absolutely true, Mrs. Xie personally agreed, and Mr. Wang was there at the time." Yun's face was full of joy.

"It's very good." Wei Mingting also expressed his joy. It is a good thing that his daughter can be taught by Mr. Wang.

Paused, Wei Mingting said again: "Don't forget about Ruo'er, you have to arrange a school for Ruo'er as soon as possible. It's her business if Ruo'er doesn't want to learn, but you have to make arrangements."

"Don't worry, my husband, the county magistrate's wife has long agreed, but I don't know if the Xie family will let Ms. Qian also go to study. If Ms. Qian also goes, maybe the county magistrate himself will not invite a female gentleman."

"If the county magistrate doesn't invite you, you can invite the lady to our house. Not only Ruo'er, but also the ladies from other families, you have to learn from it." Wei Mingting urged.

"Well, I know." Yun also thought so.

Although inviting the female husband to the home will increase extra expenses, since Wanwan has arranged for Xie's house, Ruoer's end is not too bad.

Besides, I invited the husband who was originally in the Qian family to come to my home, and I was able to get closer to the master and the county magistrate by the way.

Although Wei Mingting is a military officer and has no official contacts with these two families, but they are both in Xingshan County, and there is always nothing wrong with a good relationship.

After waiting for two days, there was news from the magistrate's office that the Xie family did not agree to Qian Zhilan's going to Xie's house to study.

Mrs. Xie declined on the grounds that the Qian family had a husband.

Madam Qian was depressed, but she was helpless.

That night, Yun called Wei Ruo to him: "Ruo'er, I have given you enough time in the wasteland in the south of the city, and you can tell Madam Zhang to take care of the rest. You should go to the magistrate's house to go to school."

"knew."

To Yun's surprise, Wei Ruo didn't bargain with Yun this time, but agreed very calmly.

So Yun continued to talk to Wei Ruo: "There is another problem, that is, there is only one carriage at home..."

Yun's expression is a bit embarrassed.

In the past, Wei Qingwan was the only one who went to school in the magistrate's mansion, so it would be no problem for the carriage to pick up Wei Qingwan sooner or later.

According to the original plan, both Wei Qingwan and Wei Ruo went to the magistrate's mansion to attend classes, and the carriage only carried one more person, so there was no problem.

But now the situation has become more complicated. Wei Qingwan is going to Xie's house in the north of the city, and Wei Ruo is going to Qian's house in the magistrate. The two places have different routes.

Wei Ruo sneered, and Xian Yun said what she wanted to say one step at a time: "Does mother want to say that Xie's house in the north of the city is far from the Xiaowei's mansion, so you plan to arrange the carriage for Xie's house in the north of the city?" Wei Qingwan, the county magistrate Qian's house is closer, can you trouble me to walk there?"

"You can't go there on foot. I will buy another carriage, but it will be smaller than the one we already have. The family is not well-off now. When I have more money, I will give it to you." Can you change to a better one?"

Chapter 47 I don't need it

"That's pretty good, at least it's not a bullock cart." Wei Ruo laughed.

Not changing to a bullock cart is not necessarily because Yun loves him so much, it may be because he can't afford to lose this person.

"Ruo'er, there's nothing you can do about it. The Xie family is unusual, not to mention that the husband Qingwan is going to see is the famous and talented Queen Caiwei." Yun frowned and analyzed with Wei Ruo.

"Well, what you said is very reasonable, and I agree very much." Wei Ruo agreed.

"Do you agree?" Yun looked at Wei Ruofeng's indifferent appearance in surprise, thinking she was talking ironically, but she didn't look like her.

"I very much agree, whoever goes to Xie's house which is further away and has a higher status to learn from the more talented Mr. Wang will take the original good carriage at home, and the one who didn't go will take the newly bought smaller and shabby carriage at home, which is very reasonable. "Wei Ruo said.

Mr. Yun frowned, not knowing how to answer Wei Ruo's words for a while.

Wei Ruo went on to say: "My mother definitely didn't make this decision because Wei Qingwan was the one who went to Xie's house, and I was the one who went to the magistrate's house. It's simply because Xie's house is far away and the lintel is higher than ours, right?"

"Naturally." Yun replied immediately.

"Of course I have no objection. My mother considered objective factors and treated us fairly. Naturally, I have no objection." Wei Ruo replied.

Wei Ruo's words are reasonable, well-behaved and sensible, but Yun's hearing is inexplicably a little timid.

"Sister, I prepared a gift for you!" Wei Yilin excitedly ran into Wangmei Garden.

"Gift?"

"Yes, congratulations to my sister for being able to go to Xie's house to take classes and learn from a famous female teacher!" Wei Yilin smiled all over his face.

Wei Yilin triumphantly introduced his presents: "I bought a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones for my sister, all from the newly opened Sibaozhai!"

"Aren't their paper very expensive and difficult to buy?" Wei Qingwan looked surprised.

"Yes, but it doesn't matter, brother Ni, I have private money!" Wei Yilin said with a smile.

"Yilin, you are so kind to me!" Wei Qingwan said softly, her voice full of emotion.

"You are my sister, who will I treat if I am not nice to you?"

Wei Qingwan said hesitantly: "But there is still my sister, she is going to go to the magistrate's house to go to school, I don't know how the four treasures of the study are doing."

"I don't care about her, her affairs have nothing to do with me!"

"I'd better go and have a look. If not, I'll give her some of mine. After all, she is an older sister. She doesn't need to care about us, but we, as younger brothers and sisters, have to care about her."

After speaking, Wei Qingwan walked into her room, and when she came out, she took a lot of pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

"Sister, I'll go with you! I'm afraid she will bully you!" Wei Yilin chased after her.

"Thank you Yilin, I'm fine. In the house, my sister won't bully me much."

"Sister, being kind doesn't mean that others are also kind to you. We must not think too optimistic about things!" Wei Yilin's attitude is firm.

Anyway, as long as my sister wants to find Wei Qingruo today, he will follow her!

"Okay, then you can go with me, but you can't say those things to your sister after you see her, the elder brother will be angry with you if he finds out."

"I see, as long as she doesn't do anything to you, I will never take the initiative to make things difficult for her today." Wei Yilin assured Wei Qingwan.

Arriving in Tingsong Garden, Wei Ruo was busy fertilizing the seedlings of sweet potatoes, loofahs, pumpkins and gourds planted in the yard.

These seedlings have grown green and covered half of the wall.

"Sister." Wei Qingwan walked up to Wei Ruo uninvited, "My sister will go to the magistrate's house for class in two days. I have prepared some pens, inks, papers and inkstones for my sister, hoping to come in handy."

Wei Ruo turned his head and glanced at the things Wei Qingwan held in his hand: "I don't need your things, take them back and keep them for yourself."

Wei Qingwan paused, and then said: "Sister, don't worry, these things are all new, never used."

"I don't need it." Wei Ruo refused again.

Wei Qingwan, who was rejected, lowered her head sadly.

Seeing this, Wei Yilin immediately said: "It's kind of my sister to give you something, why do you have such an attitude?"

Wei Ruo smiled and asked, "What's my attitude? Is it a bad attitude to give me something I don't need and want you to take it back?"

"Why can't you use the things my sister gave you? You clearly deliberately embarrass my sister!" Wei Yilin asked.

"What? I don't know whether I need it or not, do you know?"

"You are going to study soon! Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all necessities!" Wei Yilin said with a straight face.

"So? Is there any necessary connection to tell me that I don't need the things Wei Qingwan wants to give me?" Wei Ruo asked back.

"You asked knowingly! Why are you so annoying!" Wei Yilin was anxious.

Wei Qingwan grabbed Wei Yilin and said, "Yilin, don't be angry, it's my fault, it's because I didn't choose a good gift. Don't be angry with your sister."

"What, sister, what's wrong with you? The one with the problem is obviously her!"

Seeing that Wei Qingwan took all the responsibility on himself, Wei Yilin became even more angry.

My sister thinks about Wei Qingruo all the time, but this nasty Wei Qingruo always makes things difficult for her, making things difficult for her!

I don't know if it's because there's too much noise, some servants heard it and reported it to Mr. Yun, or it's because Mrs. Yun happened to be coming to Wei Ruo's place.

When Yun stepped into the door of Tingsongyuan, he just heard Wei Yilin and Wei Ruo arguing, and Wei Qingwan tried to persuade them.

Yun's sternly reprimanded: "What kind of noise is it?!"

As soon as Mr. Yun appeared, the noise stopped immediately.

Yun's eyes swept over the three siblings in front of him: "What's going on? Why are you making such a fuss!"

"Mother..." Wei Yilin muttered when he saw Yun Shi, with an aggrieved expression on his face.

Wei Ruo watched coldly.

"Wanwan, tell me." The Yun family appointed Wei Qingwan to explain the reason.

"Mother calm down, is it the daughter's fault? The daughter prepared some gifts for her sister, thinking that her sister would use them to study in the magistrate's mansion in a few days, but her daughter didn't prepare well, and her sister didn't like it. My sister quarreled."

After listening to Wei Qingwan's explanation, Yun looked at the Four Treasures of the Study she was holding.

Then he frowned and asked Wei Ruo: "You are going to study in the magistrate's mansion. What's wrong with Wanwan giving you the Four Treasures of the Study? Why do you say that the gift she prepared is not good?"

"I didn't say she didn't prepare well. My original words were that I don't need these things. Please take them back and use them yourself." Wei Ruo answered Yun's question unhurriedly, then looked at Wei Qingwan, "That's right, right? Sister Qingwan?"

"Yes..." Wei Qingwan nodded.

Wei Yilin hurriedly said: "You asked your sister to take it back, isn't it because you are dissatisfied with the gift she prepared for you?"

Wei Ruo: I heard that you can take a big carriage to go to Xie's house for class! Agree, agree, must agree!

Chapter 48 Apologize to me

Wei Ruo chuckled lightly: "These are two meanings. If you don't need to let her take it back, you are afraid of wasting it."

Wei Yilin retorted: "You are making unreasonable words. You are going to go to school. How can you not use it and waste it?"

Wei Ruo smiled, then turned around and called Xiumei: "Xiumei, take some of my Four Treasures of the Study."

"Good lady!" Xiumei's voice came from inside the room.

After a while, Xiumei came out, holding a big bamboo basket in her hand.

Xiumei huffed and moved the bamboo basket in front of everyone.

Yunshi, Wei Qingwan and Wei Yilin looked at the things in the bamboo basket, their expressions all changed.

A bamboo basket full of the Four Treasures of the Study!

The most conspicuous thing is the paper, the color and texture can be seen to be the paper produced by Sibaozhai.

Not one or two, nor ten or twenty, but a thick stack!

The rest of the inkstones are also several squares, there are more than a dozen brushes, large and small, and there are more than ten pieces of ink sticks.

And these things seem to be better than those brought by Wei Qingwan.

"Ruo'er, where did you get so many Four Treasures of the Study?" Yun's face was full of surprise.

There are so many things that the eldest son doesn't even have!

"When I was in Mojiashan, I accidentally helped an old lady who was lost in the mountains. She had a son who was in the business of the Four Treasures of the Study, and she gave me a basket of these things as a reward. Although I have never studied, I also know that these things are not cheap, so I shipped them all when they came from Mojiazha."

When Wei Ruo came to Wei's house, he moved two full carts of things, and everyone in the Wei family knew about it.

But everyone thought they were worthless things, and no one asked what Wei Ruo had brought back.

Who would have thought that there would be such a basketful of treasures hidden among the pile of worthless country souvenirs she brought in!

Wei Ruodao: "So mother, it's okay for me to say that I don't need the things that Sister Qingwan gave me, right? I don't have time to use my basket of pens, ink, papers and inkstones, and the gifts I received from Sister Qingwan are also left in the house to eat ashes. I don't want to waste my sister Qingwan's heart."

"Who would have thought that I would misunderstand sister Qingwan and brother Yilin by saying this? I obviously mean it well, but I don't know why they think of me like this, probably because they think I am a bad person in their hearts."

Hearing this, Wei Qingwan and Wei Yilin's faces turned ugly.

Yun said: "It's good to explain clearly, it's just a misunderstanding."

Wei Ruo nodded: "Well, it's good to explain clearly. At first, I thought that I had so many pens, inks, papers and inkstones and I should give some of them to Sister Qingwan, but I can see that Sister Qingwan can make a whole new set of preparations." If you give it to me, you won't need it for a while, so I won't give it to her."

"As for brother Yilin, he just ran into me, saying that I was unreasonable and that my attitude was not good. Although as the elder sister, I shouldn't care about him, after all, he is still young. But as an elder sister, I can't indulge my younger brother too much. Knowing that my younger brother's reckless and disrespectful elder sister's behavior is wrong, but still pretending that nothing happened is my elder sister's fault."

What Wei Ruo said made the three people in front of him not know how to respond.

Yun Shi also realized that Wei Yilin's attitude towards Wei Ruo was problematic: "Yilin, apologize to big sister Ni! As a younger brother, how can you talk to your elder sister like this?"

"But mother..."

"No but!" Yun's expression was stern.

Wei Yilin was about to explode, but under Yun's gaze, he had to bow his head.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Wei Yilin apologized, but his face was full of reluctance.

Wei Ruo replied unhurriedly: "Little brother, you need to be sincere when apologizing to others. Today you apologized to me at home like this. If I don't correct you, you will go out and continue to behave like this in the future. It's a big loss. You are the young master of my Wei family, and your words and deeds represent the Wei family and the Zhongyi uncle's residence."

Wei Ruo raised Wei Yilin's apology to the level of Zhongyi Bofu with a few words.

Yun felt that what Wei Ruo said was right, so he admonished Wei Yilin again: "Yilin, please apologize, your eldest sister is right, and you have to show sincerity in apologizing. ?"

Yun's stern expression frightened Wei Yilin, his eyes were a little red, and he bit his lip: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was reckless."

"It doesn't matter, I said you are still young, as the elder sister, I won't care too much about you. As long as you have a better memory next time, and think more about things, the elder sister will be very happy." Wei Ruo said with a smile.

Wei Yilin felt even more depressed, but he had no choice but to stare at Wei Ruo with his round eyes full of grievances.

After the matter was resolved, Yun took Wei Qingwan and Wei Yilin away from Tingsong Garden, and when they walked to the door, they saw Wei Jinyi.

Looking at each other, Wei Jin also said "Mother", Yun nodded in agreement, and then left.

Be courteous and detached.

Wei Jin also heard the quarrel, and then watched a play at the door.

Originally, he could have left before Yun Shi went out, but today he deliberately didn't leave and had a face-to-face meeting with Yun Shi.

After Yun Shi left, Wei Jinyi also planned to go back. Wei Ruo came out at this time and called Wei Jinyi.

"Second brother, just right, these are for you."

Wei Ruo took out a pile of the Four Treasures of the Study from the bamboo basket, and directly stuffed them into the arms of Xiaobei who followed behind Wei Jinyi.

There were scrolls of paper, inkstones, and a pile of pens and ink sticks. Xiao Bei hurriedly picked them up, almost unable to hold them.

Wei Jin also glanced at the things that Wei Ruosai brought over, but did not refuse.

Just said: "It's too much."

"Not much, anyway, it will be used sooner or later. As the saying goes, wealth should not be exposed. I have exposed these things, so I have to use them up early. Rather than being fooled away by someone I don't like one day, it is better to give it to someone I like. "Wei Ruo replied.

Hearing this, Wei Jin also blushed suddenly, then quickly turned around and walked away with Xiao Bei.

Wei Ruo didn't know why Wei Jinyi walked so fast, but because he always had that unpredictable temperament, he didn't think much about it.

The next day, Xie's family sent a letter of greeting to Xiaowei's Mansion. Madam Xie wanted to bring her daughter Xie Ying to Xiaowei's Mansion, saying that the two children would go to school together in the future, and let them get acquainted in advance.

After receiving the invitation, Yun became busy. Although only the Xie family members came, Yun still did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

After two days of busy work, Mrs. Xie arrived with her daughter Xie Ying.

"Madam Wei, I'm sorry to bother you." Madam Xie greeted Yun with a smile.

"Where is it, my daughter and I are not very happy that Mrs. Xie can come." Yun's face was full of joy.

Madam Xie glanced at Wei Qingwan who was standing beside Yun, then looked around, seeing that there was no one else, she asked, "Madam Wei, where is the other daughter of the family?"

Chapter 49 Is Ruoer not Wanwan?

"Ruoer, she... is in her room preparing for going to class."

Actually, Wei Ruo is probably busy with the fruits and vegetables grown in her yard at the moment, but Yun is embarrassed to tell people that her daughter grows vegetables in the yard, so she has to lie that Wei Ruo is preparing for class.

"Mother, let me go over and see what she has prepared." Xie Ying said.

Madam Xie asked Yun: "Madam Wei, look..."

Yun's smile was a bit awkward, but Mrs. Xie had asked, and she couldn't refuse, so she could only agree: "Then I will ask my maid Cuiping to take Miss Xie there."

"Then let's go now." Xie Ying left as soon as she said, ignoring Wei Qingwan who was always smiling and looking at her.

Yun's guess is correct, Wei Ruo is currently picking tender pumpkins and pumpkin vine tips in the yard.

Her pumpkin vines are growing very well, climbing half of the courtyard wall, and several fruits have grown. This is a good time to pick these two things.

Wei Ruo likes to eat tender pumpkins and pumpkin tips. These two can be mixed together and stir-fried for a refreshing, sweet and crisp taste.

When Xie Ying entered the door, she saw Wei Ruo standing on the ladder with a bamboo basket in her hand, picking something intently.

Xie Ying walked over without making a sound, just watching from the side.

Wei Ruo heard the movement and knew that someone had come in. Wei Ruo didn't bother, but the other party didn't make a sound for a long time, so Wei Ruo turned his head and looked over.

"Miss Xie?"

Wei Ruo was not too surprised by Xie Ying's arrival. She also heard that Mrs. Xie would bring Xie Ying to visit the Wei family. Just curious what Xie Ying was doing watching her.

"What are you doing?" Xie Ying asked.

"Pick pumpkin tips and small pumpkins." Wei Ruo replied.

"Oh, I know that, I've eaten it, and it doesn't taste good." Xie Ying said.

"It may be that the cook who made this dish is not very good. I have a chance to let you try my Meimei's cooking." Wei Ruo said.

Xie Ying didn't refute, but her eyes told Wei Ruo that she didn't really believe what Wei Ruo said, how could a pumpkin tip be delicious?

Xie Ying glanced around, "Where do you have a place where I can hide for a while and go back to sleep? I was taken out of the house by my mother early in the morning, and I haven't woken up yet."

Xie Ying doesn't care why Wei Ruo grows vegetables in the yard where she lives, and why Wei Ruo isn't preparing what she needs for class. She just wants to find a place to sleep in a daze.

Wei Ruo pointed to the rattan chair he had placed in the yard and said, "Why don't you move it under my gourd rattan shelf, where the sun won't shine."

After a while, the sun will be bright and it will be too hot, so if you want to sleep, you still have to find a shady place.

Xie Ying nodded, then picked up Wei Ruo's chair and walked over.

The wicker chair is very comfortable, the gourd vines grow lushly, and the shade under the shelf is very suitable for Xie Ying's requirement of hiding in a daze.

Xie Ying shook it for a while and then said to Wei Ruo: "Can you give me some seeds for the plant you planted? I will plant one at home when I go back. And where did you buy this rattan chair? I want to buy one too."

Is this a set of configurations that I like Wei Ruo?

"I can give you the seeds, but it's too late to plant them now; there should be some wicker chairs for sale outside, so ask your servants to ask more questions for you." Wei Ruo replied.

"Then what kind of vines can be planted in this season to grow into your appearance? I want the kind that can be planted casually. I don't know how to grow plants, and I will die if I grow anything." Xie Ying asked again.

"That may not be very suitable... Most of the climbing vines grow in the yard and need to be taken care of, watering and fertilizing and preventing pests."

"Trouble." Xie Ying muttered, then stopped talking, closed her eyes and began to take a nap.

So she came to see Wei Ruo not because she liked Wei Ruo so much, but because Wei Ruo was here so that she could sleep easily!

Wei Ruo claims to be a person who doesn't like to socialize and likes to hide and relax, but looking at Xie Ying, she can only bow down.

Wei Ruo and Xie Ying stayed together peacefully for half an hour, when Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Xie came to find them, followed by Wei Qingwan.

Mrs. Xie came to visit today, and Wei Qingwan accompanied her throughout.

Her well-behaved and gentle performance has been praised by Mrs. Xie many times, and she repeatedly feels that it would be great if her daughter could be as well-behaved and sensible as Wei Qingwan.

This made Yun very proud. Her daughter is indeed very sensible. She guessed that it was because of this that when she and Mrs. Xie asked her daughter to study with Miss Xie's family, Mrs. Xie would agree so readily.

Mrs. Xie who entered Tingsong Garden was not surprised to see Xie Ying sleeping in the shade.

Her daughter has this personality. If she is asked to go out to play, she can go crazy all day, but if she is to be a good lady at home, she must be as lazy as possible.

If this temperament is left in another family, it will definitely be punished.

However, her precious daughter is spoiled by the whole family, so she has developed such a personality that no one can control her, and no one can control her well.

Madam Xie smiled apologetically, and then asked Wei Ruo: "Miss Wei, Xiaoying didn't bother you, did she?"

"I didn't bother you, we got along very well." Wei Ruoting likes Xie Ying's personality, and there is no pressure or burden for her.

"That's good, so that you can get along happily when you study together in the future." Mrs. Xie said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan were stunned.

Yun asked: "Mrs. Xie, you just said that Ruo'er will study with Miss Xie in the future?"

Madam Xie looked at Yun with some doubts: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"No... I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect Mrs. Xie to agree that Ruo'er would also go to Xie's house to study with Mr. Wang." Yun's policeman said.

"Really?" Mrs. Xie's face became more and more suspicious, "Mrs. Wei, wait a minute, why am I getting more and more unable to understand what you are saying."

Yun's face was also blank: "Isn't what Mrs. Xie said just now meant to let Ruo'er go to Xie's house to study?"

Mrs. Xie looked at Mrs. Wei with a gentle smile: "Mrs. Wei, didn't we say at the beginning that Miss Wei would come to our Xie's house to study with my family Ying'er?"

"Mrs. Xie, what do you mean... you mean Ruoer, not Wanwan?" Yun's face was shocked.

Chapter 50 I don't want to trade at a loss

"How could it be the second miss? Didn't the second miss have been studying at the magistrate's mansion? How can I compete with the magistrate's mansion? I heard that the eldest miss had not arranged to study because she had just picked her up, so I thought about Mrs. Wei and said It must be Missy." Mrs. Xie replied.

When Mr. Yun went to Xie's house, he only mentioned his daughter, but didn't mention which daughter it was.

Mrs. Xie took it for granted that it was Wei Ruo who hadn't arranged to study yet, so she agreed without hesitation, and told Mrs. Yun that her daughter was very good, and she should get along very well with her daughter; Miss Wei Jia came and taught together.

Mr. Yun was very happy, and took it for granted that it was Wei Qingwan, and didn't think about Wei Ruo at all.

No matter how I think about it, I don't think Wei Ruoneng can get into the eyes of Xie's family, let alone Mr. Wang's.

Wei Qingwan was so shocked that she couldn't speak, her face turned pale visibly.

Wei Ruo felt Wei Qingwan's resentful gaze. It could be seen that Wei Qingwan was surprised, even at a loss, and even turned his anger on her head.

But what does it matter to her? She didn't take the initiative to ask Wei Qingwan to throw this person away, it was their own fault.

Mrs. Xie looked at Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan who were stunned in front of her, and she also recalled it.

Madam Xie knew that it was inconvenient for her to stay for a long time, so she called Xie Ying over and said goodbye to Yun Shi.

Before leaving, she said to Wei Ruo: "Miss Wei, see you in two days. If you need anything about studying, just let me know. I will prepare it for you in advance."

"Thank you, madam." Wei Ruo thanked.

Recovering from the shock, Yun forced a smile to send off Mrs. Xie and Xie Ying.

When she came back again, she was exhausted, looked at Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say, so she let the two go to rest, and then went back to Cangyun Garden by herself.

Wei Qingwan looked at the back of the departing Yun, the tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled.

She looked up at Wei Ruo who was beside her, with anger and disbelief coexisting in her eyes.

Wei Ruo ignored her and went back to work on her pumpkin vines.

After a while, I heard footsteps and knew that Wei Qingwan was trotting away.

Returning to Cangyun Garden, Yun's thoughts were full of thoughts.

The Xie family agreed that the daughter of the Wei family should go to school. Being a student of Mr. Wang Caiwei is a good thing, no matter which one she is, she should be happy.

But whoever wants to make an own mistake, Yun's mood becomes very complicated.

I am still happy, at least one daughter is going to Xie's house to study with Mr. Wang.

But there are still worries, distress and worries.

The worry is that Ruoer might behave badly.

I feel sorry for Wanwan, this oolong made Wanwan suffer a lot in this matter.

As for worrying, I can't tell what kind of heart it is.

When dinner was approaching, Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to tell the people in Cangyunyuan that she was not feeling well and would not go to the restaurant tonight.

Wei Ruo knew that if she went to the dining hall for dinner today, she would definitely have to face the low pressure of a table, so she might as well not go.

I don't think the rest of the family would care about whether she went to the dining hall to eat or not.

Then Wei Ruo ran to Yingzhu Garden and went to have dinner with Wei Jinyi.

The euphemistic name is: In order to thank the second brother for helping me find a female husband, please invite the second brother to eat our own meals.

Wei Jin also acquiesced to Wei Ruo's behavior, and knew why Wei Ruo hid at his place for dinner.

While Xiumei and Xiaobei were working in the small kitchen, Wei Ruo and Wei Jin were also sitting in the pavilion.

"In a good mood?" Looking at the playful smile on Wei Ruo's face, Wei Jinyi couldn't help but a little more happy.

After observing for a period of time, Wei Jin also found that Wei Ruo's appearance on his side was very different from the appearance in front of other people in the family. On his side, Wei Ruo was more lively and loved to laugh.

"It must be good. Although I didn't want to make this oolong, but the effect is not bad. I'm naturally in a good mood." Wei Ruo didn't hide his true thoughts about seeing a good show.

"You handled it well. Can you tell me why you chose the Xie family?" Wei Jin also asked.

At first, he didn't know what Wei Ruo was going to do, but when she told him that he would recommend Mr. Wang to Xie's family, he understood a little bit.

Because she is a famous female husband, the Xie family will definitely be very happy, not only willing, but also to help Wei Ruo pay for Shu Xiu.

As long as Mr. Wang mentions it to Xie's family again, and brings another Miss Wei's family among the students he teaches, Wei Ruo can go to Xie's family to study smoothly.

Wei Ruo replied: "There are two main reasons. First, Xie's family is the most well-established family in Xingshan County other than Xiaowei's Mansion and Qianzhi County's family, and it is also a family that can not give face to Wei's family; second, I have been with Xie Ying before, although we don't have much friendship, but I like Xie Ying's temperament, we can do not disturb each other, live in peace, there are not so many twists and turns that make me troubled."

"If my mother asks Xie's family to want Wei Qingwan to go to Xie's house to study with you, would you be willing?"

"That must be unwilling. I was trying to avoid her. Wouldn't it be a waste of my work to let her go? Besides, you used your relationship to help me find this lady." , how can I let others take advantage of me? It's fine if she has no grievances with me, but I still remember the last time she slandered me and pushed people away! You can't let a person who has a grudge against me take advantage of me, right? Then how much will I suffer? I don't want to do a loss-making business!"

"What about me?" Wei Jin also asked.

"you?"

"For me, did you make a loss-making business?"

"Pfft..." Looking at Wei Jinyi's serious face, he couldn't hold back for a while.

Wei Jin also looked at her seriously.

"Ahem."

Wei Ruo cleared his throat, and also seriously analyzed with Wei Jinyi: "Calculating carefully, in order to save you that day, I was locked up in the woodshed, offended the head of the house, and paid a lot of medicine; but you Well, it's still pretty good, you're giving me old mountain ginseng, and you're helping me find a female husband, and you're really kind and repaying, so I think I'm not losing out on this deal with you!"

Wei Jin also smiled, his smile was not ostentatious, always shallow, warm, as light as water, as warm as jade.

"By the way, I have a question." Wei Ruo suddenly had a doubt.

"What's the problem?"

"It's just that you look weak and weak. When I see you on weekdays, I stay at home all day, either reading or writing. But why did you look so strong when I took off your clothes that day? Those muscles, The lines are pretty good."

Chapter 51 in his own way

"Cough cough cough cough..." Wei Jin also coughed violently, and his cheeks were also blushing quickly.

The red spread from his cheeks to the back of his ears.

"What's wrong?" Wei Ruo asked.

"Don't mention this matter again, it's not acceptable in front of me, let alone in front of outsiders." Wei Jin also said seriously.

"Don't worry, I still have some sense of propriety outside." Wei Ruo chuckled.

Then he got closer to Wei Jinyi, and said in a low voice: "I won't tell others, my second brother has a good figure."

"Boom—" Wei Jinyi's face turned completely red, like a boiled hairy crab.

Looking at his blush cheeks, Wei Ruo smiled heartily.

Oh, the second brother is quite interesting, he is so shy, he is so shy when his sister sees his body, what will he do when he marries a daughter-in-law?

After laughing, Wei Ruo continued the question just now: "You haven't told me how you manage to read and write every day and still have tendons on your body."

She hasn't forgotten to ask Wei Jinyi this question!

"There are ways to practice physical fitness." Wei Jin also replied.

"Then you are really self-disciplined. Even in this small courtyard, you still haven't forgotten to maintain a good figure." Wei Ruo commented.

"I'm a little different from you, so I can't slack off." Wei Jin also murmured.

He seemed to be speaking to Wei Ruo, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

Wei Qingwan cried for a long time in the room, Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin successively came to comfort her.

Different from the past, this time Wei Qingwan cried for a long time but couldn't get over it.

Then Wei Ruo also came.

Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin came out of the house, and when they saw Wei Ruo, they both had strange expressions.

Wei Yilin couldn't hide his emotions, so he rushed up and questioned Wei Ruo: "You scoundrel! You took away my sister's place to study at Xie's house! You made my sister cry so sad!"

Wei Ruo looked calm, and asked Wei Yichen unhurriedly: "First of all, the Xie family chose me to study with Miss Xie from the very beginning. You made a mistake yourself. How did it become my fault? Your logic Something's wrong, I'm inexplicably charged with this crime."

"Secondly, why did my coming to visit Sister Qingwan turn into a good show? Has she suffered a lot of grievances? Can't she continue to go to school in the magistrate's mansion? She has been like this for the past few years. It didn't How can something that feels wronged become wronged now?"

"And before you misunderstood that the person Xie's family agreed to study with was Qingwan sister, when you arranged for me to study in the magistrate's mansion, didn't you say that the female gentleman in the magistrate's mansion is also very powerful? How come it is Qingwan's sister? Are you wronged?"

Wei Ruo unhurriedly refuted Wei Yilin's accusation, and looked at Wei Yilin with a small smile.

"That's different! My sister is better than you, she should have gone to the Xie family!" Wei Yilin retorted.

"Oh, so you all lied to me. You lied to me when you said you would treat me and sister Qingwan fairly, right? In fact, you have never put the two of us together in your heart, have you? It's only natural that some things happen to me, but it's wronged when it happens to Sister Qingwan, right?"

Wei Ruo said sad words, but there was always a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and a pair of clear eyes were as bright as torches, as if he could see through all the thoughts of the Wei brothers.

Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin were both taken aback.

Especially Wei Yichen, he was a little guilty and dared not look into Wei Ruo's eyes.

Wei Ruo smiled again: "Don't feel embarrassed, I didn't ask you to treat the two of us fairly, just don't say one thing but actually do another, just do what you want."

Speaking of which, Wei Ruo looked down at Wei Yilin again: "And you, don't be so double-standard, one set of standards for Wei Qingwan, another set of standards for me, if you don't want to admit it, I won't admit it, why use it? What about your standards? I don't owe you anything!"

Wei Yilin said: "Even if you have no responsibility, what are you doing here to see her jokes? Are you intentionally making her sad?"

"Is there any joke to read? She just continued to go to school in the magistrate's mansion. Could it be that going to school in the magistrate's mansion is a joke? You were secretly laughing at me before that? You and Wei Qingwan came to me with pens, ink, paper and inkstone Did you actually come to laugh at me?" Wei Ruo asked back.

"You...you!" Wei Yilin didn't know how to refute Wei Ruo, his little face flushed suddenly.

After pondering for a while, Wei Yichen said to Wei Ruo with a heavy tone: "Ruo'er, you are right. In this matter, we have indeed been biased. What Yilin said is also very problematic. I will take care of it." taught him."

"Well, I believe that my eldest brother is a fair and just person, and he is also a person who keeps what he says." Wei Ruo said with a smile.

The words "fairness and justice" and "do what you say" are like two sharp knives cutting Wei Yichen's heart twice.

Wei Yichen realizes that although they always say that they treat the two younger sisters the same, it seems that they will naturally choose Wanwan for many things, and they always subconsciously believe that Wanwan is better than Ruoer.

"I'm sorry, it's my brother who didn't do well enough." Wei Yichen apologized.

Wei Ruo didn't answer Wei Yichen's words, looked at Wei Qingwan's room and said, "I came here today to ask sister Qingwan what she needs to bring to class, but now it seems that I'm not very popular. That's fine, I'll go ask my second brother."

Wei Yichen hurriedly called to Wei Ruo: "Ruoer, big brother can teach you these things too."

"No need, brother is very busy, so I won't bother him." Wei Ruo replied.

"Brother is free now, why don't you go back with him, can he explain to you?" Wei Yichen looked at Wei Ruo expectantly.

"It's not necessary, I think the second brother is more free than the eldest brother." Wei Ruo still refused.

"Okay then." Wei Yichen couldn't force it anymore, and looked a little disappointed.

Wei Ruo didn't care what Wei Yichen was thinking, turned around and left Wangmei Garden.

Before leaving, she glanced at the room behind her, she knew Wei Qingwan was listening inside.

She came today to return the gift that Wei Qingwan came to give her that day.

That day Wei Qingwan kept saying that it was for her own good to come to her and give her presents, but now that the situation has changed, they immediately felt that she was here to show off and make fun of?

Although she doesn't want to compete with Wei Qingwan for favor and male lead at all, it doesn't mean that Wei Qingwan can bully her and provoke her openly and secretly.

What should be repaid still needs to be repaid.

Two days later, two carriages, one large and one small, were parked at the gate of the Captain's Mansion.

Wei Qingwan and Wei Ruo walked out at about the same time.

Mr. Yun came to see his two daughters out, looking at Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan, Mrs. Yun felt mixed feelings.

When Wei Qingwan was about to board the carriage, Wei Ruo stopped her:

"I'm sorry, sister Qingwan, my mother said that Xie's house is far from the school captain's mansion, so the big carriage is given to those who go to Xie's house."

Chapter 52 This is what mother means

Hearing that Wei Qingwan froze, she turned her head and looked at Wei Ruo suspiciously.

And Wei Ruo had a faint smile on his face: "Actually, it doesn't make any difference to me which carriage I take. As the eldest sister, I shouldn't care about such trivial matters with my younger siblings. But I think what my mother said is very reasonable, and I can't refute my mother's opinion."

Wei Qingwan looked at Yun Shi again.

Yun didn't know how to speak at the moment.

This is indeed what she said! But at that time, they all thought that the person who was going to Xie's house to study was Wanwan! I don't know that Wanwan will be wronged in this matter.

If she knew that Wanwan would be wronged, in order to take care of Wanwan's mood and make up for the damage she suffered, she would definitely not mention changing the carriage!

"Mother, this...is this what you mean?" Wei Qingwan asked Yun.

"Yes, that's what I meant." Yun Shi said, although there were some pimples in his heart, but Yun Shi couldn't deny what he said.

She then comforted Wei Qingwan and said: "Wanwan, the Xie family has a high lintel, so we can't let the Xie family look down on us. Let your sister sit in the big carriage. Although the carriage over there is a little smaller, it is newly bought. It was specially arranged by my mother."

Wei Qingwan's eyes were already red, she bit her lower lip and nodded lightly: "Daughter knows, mother doesn't have to worry, daughter understands..."

Her voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that she was trying her best to suppress her grievance and sadness.

The appearance of being so sad but still pretending to be strong made Yun's heart ache for a while.

Wei Ruo stepped forward and said, "Mother, don't worry, sister Qingwan is sensible, so she won't cry because she changed a carriage. When I just returned home, she said that she would give everything to her." mine."

"Although I didn't intend to ask for sister Qingwan's things, since sister Qingwan said so, it means that she has such a heart. Now it's just a small matter like giving me the carriage she used to ride in. I shouldn't be sad. "

Wei Qingwan's tears welled up in her eyes, and she held back after hearing Wei Ruo's words.

Wei Ruo looked at Wei Qingwan and said, "Actually, if my mother hadn't analyzed the objective reasons, I really wouldn't mind if I took that smaller carriage. After all, when I was in the countryside, I didn't even have an ox cart. Yes, it would be nice to have a carriage, and it doesn't matter if it's bigger or smaller."

Wearing that, Yun's heart tightened, and when he looked at Wei Ruo's clear and clear eyes, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Mr. Yun suddenly felt that there was something wrong with her thoughts these two days. Although Wanwan was wronged a bit, she was not that wronged.

After all these years, Wanwan used the standards of Miss Wei's family. Even if she changed to a smaller carriage now, it would be better than Ruoer's life before.

Thinking about it this way, if she keeps talking about Wanwan's grievances, it will be unreasonable.

After thinking about this point clearly, Yun said to Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan: "Okay, it's getting late, you all get on your respective carriages and set off. Especially Ruo'er, today is your first time to go to Xie's house. Be careful."

"Understood." Wei Ruo replied, then turned around smartly, and got on the big carriage neatly.

Wei Qingwan hesitated for a while, and after confirming that Yun would not change her mind, she got into the obviously smaller and shabby carriage with the help of the maid Cui He.

Getting into the car, Wei Qingwan began to sob.

"Miss, stop crying, be careful not to damage your eyes." Cui He hurriedly comforted her.

"I don't want to cry, but the tears can't stop falling, and my heart feels uncomfortable."

Wei Qingwan said sadly, and then glanced at the dilapidated carriage, "I don't even have the qualifications to ride in my family's carriage now, I guess it won't be long before I'm kicked out of the house..."

Cui He hurriedly comforted: "Miss, don't think too much, it's just that you lost the thing of studying, the master, wife and young masters still love you as before."

As the daughter of Nanny Li, Cuihe has the same views as Nanny Li.

They all believe that the second miss is loved by her family, and she must live better than the eldest miss in the future.

"Who knows, the eldest brother is also very good to my sister now... My sister is more capable than me, and can get into the eyes of Mr. Wang and Xie's family, but I am nothing..."

"But the madam has already annoyed the eldest lady, and the eldest miss has repeatedly contradicted her, and the madam's sense of guilt and compensation for her is about to be wiped out by her." Cui He continued.

"You don't need to comfort me anymore, I know what kind of situation I am in now..."

Different from before, after experiencing this oolong incident, Wei Qingwan became much more pessimistic, and it was no longer Nanny Li and Cui He who could persuade her with a few words.

At this moment, Wei Ruo is in the carriage.

When she went out, she brought a lot of things in big bags and small bags, which she called the four treasures of the study to her family.

Actually, there are several account books mixed in the middle.

She can just take advantage of the time on the way to and from school to read the account books for a while, so that she won't be too bored.

Arriving at Xie's house, Wei Ruo was taken to the school that Xie's house set up at home.

Xie's mansion is much more spacious and magnificent than Xiaowei's mansion. After entering the door, the nanny in the mansion led them all the way, and Wei Ruo almost fainted.

When we arrived at the place, there were two tables inside, which was very spacious.

Wang Caiwei and Xie Ying are already here.

The empty table on the left is reserved for Wei Ruo. Brand new pens, inks, papers and inkstones have been placed on it. There is no doubt that the Xie family prepared them for her, probably because she may miss or forget to bring them.

Wei Ruo glanced at the things on the table, they were all from Sibaozhai, and they were the same as those placed in front of Xie Ying.

After Wei Ruo was seated, Wang Caiwei introduced herself to the two.

As a proclaimed talented woman, Wang Caiwei does not have outstanding appearance, but her face makes people feel very comfortable, full of bookish, peaceful and serene feeling.

Then Wang Caiwei asked Xie Ying and Wei Ruo to introduce themselves.

After the introduction, she did not start teaching immediately, but took a few books for the two to choose.

Among them, there are books such as "Nvjie", "Nvxun", and "Nvlunyu", as well as books such as "Book of Songs", "Book of Changes", "Spring and Autumn", and "Sun Tzu's Art of War".

After studying for a while, Wei Ruo and Xie Ying chose one.

Wei Ruo chose "Book of Changes". I heard that the book of changes can be read well and can tell fortunes. I don't know if it's true or not.

Xie Ying chose "Sun Tzu's Art of War".

Good guy, Miss Xie's family is even fiercer than her!

Seeing the choice of the two, Wang Caiwei nodded with a smile: "I know how to teach you, please sit down first."

Chapter 53 Seedlings Grow

Unexpectedly, Wang Caiwei did not criticize Wei Ruo and Xie Ying's choice, but asked them to sit down, and then began to give lectures to them.

Wei Ruo originally had no hope for listening to the class, but Wang Caiwei's teaching is not as boring as she imagined. She will tell them vivid allusions and stories behind the text, and will also make appropriate adjustments from the text itself. expand and relate.

Xie Ying, who was originally listless, also seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, staring with two eyes, listening very engrossed.

Especially when listening to Wang Caiwei talk about large-scale wars in history, Wei Ruo felt that Xie Ying was about to jump up and fight with others.

In the morning, the two teach together. In the afternoon, Wang Caiwei arranged for the two to learn a skill each.

Burning incense and tea, flower arranging and hanging paintings are the four most popular arts nowadays, and every lady should learn at least one of them. Wang Caiwei asked Wei Ruo to learn how to make incense and burn incense, and Xie Ying to learn how to hang paintings.

Wang Caiwei's arrangement Xie Ying was not satisfied. Wei Ruo didn't know that she was very satisfied with the course content Wang Caiwei chose for herself.

After a day, Wei Ruo felt pretty good, much more interesting than she expected.

During the period, Mr. Wang also talked about some rules. Compared with Madam Li's rigid explanation, Mr. Wang's explanation is like spring rain moistening things, which is easier to accept.

After a few days like this, there was new progress in the south of the city. Wei Ruo had to ask Mr. Wang for leave to deal with the south of the city.

After fifteen days of seedling cultivation, the seedlings in the experimental field in the south of the city have grown green.

During this period, Nanny Zhang would report to Wei Ruo on the situation of the seedlings every other day.

Seeing the vigorous growth of the seedlings, Madam Zhang became more active from her reluctance at the beginning.

At first she was reluctant because she felt that Wei Ruo was messing around, but when she saw the seedlings growing lush and lush, Mammy Zhang suddenly realized that this young lady from the countryside really has two brushes!

"Miss, I reckon that we can start planting rice seedlings in the next two days, but you have to go to see it before you can make a decision."

Nurse Zhang doesn't dare to make up her own mind now, so she has to ask Wei Ruo for instructions.

"Go and report this situation to your mother." Wei Ruo said.

Although the seedlings are only successful and the rice has not been officially harvested, it is enough to show that the saline-alkali land she improved can already grow rice normally.

Wei Ruo needs to report this result to Wei Mingting, but she can't directly go to Wei Mingting now, so she can only report to Yun first.

Nurse Zhang immediately followed suit and ran to Cangyun Garden to report the good news.

When Nanny Zhang reported to Yun Shi, Wei Qingwan was also in Cangyun Garden, chatting with Yun Shi.

After listening to Zhang Nanny's words, Yun's face was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Really?"

"It's true, the old slave has been staring at it for a month, the seedlings are growing really well! It's lush and lush, the old slave is not exaggerating at all, the seedlings grow better than the ones we planted on the Mantou Mountain in the north of the city! "

"That's great! I'll send someone to notify the master immediately!" Yun said quickly.

Mr. Yun hurriedly called the guard Jing Hu, and explained the matter to him.

Seeing Yun's excited appearance, Wei Qingwan's expression involuntarily changed.

"I didn't expect my sister to really succeed. It's really great." Wei Qingwan said.

"Yes. If it really happens, this matter will be of great help to your father and the entire Captain's Mansion."

Mr. Yun didn't notice her daughter's downcast expression, she was immersed in this excitement.

She then said to Nanny Zhang: "Mommy Zhang, go and call Ruoer over."

Zhang Momo hurriedly said: "Ma'am, besides letting the old slave report the matter to you, the young lady also asked the old slave to ask Madam for instructions. She is going to the south of the city. If the seedlings grow properly, they will be put away for transplanting." ."

"That's right, the timing of planting the seedlings is very important and cannot be delayed, so I won't delay her from doing business."

"Exactly."

"However, let the master see the growth of the seedlings now. If the seedlings are planted, it is not clear whether they were planted from the wasteland in the south of the city or transported from other places."

"Then... Madam, what do you think this matter should be done?"

"You ask Ruo'er to wait until her father replies. If he has time, let him go and have a look. It's best to take Qian Zhixian with him. If you don't have time, let Ruo'er follow the original Let's make a plan to transplant rice seedlings."

"Okay, then the old slave will report back to the eldest lady first."

"Well, let's go."

In this matter, Yun respects Wei Ruo's decision very much.

After a while, Nanny Zhang came back again, bringing back Wei Ruo's meaning: "Miss said, she will go to the south of the city first to see the condition of the seedlings. If there is any news from the master, you can let the master directly Go to the south of the city."

"Just do what Ruo'er wants." Yun said.

With Yun's consent, Nanny Zhang went back to follow Wei Ruo's order.

Accompanied by Nanny Zhang, Wei Ruo left the city in a carriage.

Wei Ruo was very satisfied with seeing the excellent seedling fields.

Agui and Xiaoba, who were in charge of the cultivation, also seemed extremely happy.

If the seedlings grow well, it means that there may be a good harvest. This is undoubtedly good news for Xingshan County, which has suffered from successive harvests.

"Miss, what are we going to do now, do we want to raise seedlings?" Agui asked.

"Wait a minute, let's see if my father wants to come here to see it. Now you go to reclaim the wasteland next to it. If this is done, the reclamation of other wastelands will be on the agenda soon." Wei Ruo confessed.

"good!"

Agui and Xiaoba were full of energy and acted immediately.

Wei Ruo went to check nearby again.

After about an hour, Wei Ruo saw a large group of people coming towards him.

In the distance, Wei Ruo saw Wei Mingting who was riding a horse at the front. His armor hadn't taken off yet, so he must have rushed over immediately after receiving the news, and he didn't have time to change clothes.

Immediately afterwards, she saw Qian Zhixian and Chu Lan who came with Wei Mingting.

Qianzhi County will come if Wei Ruo can foresee that the success of wasteland improvement is also a political achievement for Qianzhi County, and he will definitely take it seriously.

But Chu Lan was beyond her expectations. Seeing his figure, Wei Ruo frowned slightly, instinctively resisting too much contact with this person.

Not long after, the large army arrived in front of Wei Ruo and the others.

Wei Ruo came forward to welcome Zhang Nanny, Agui and Xiao Ba.

Wei Ruo leaned slightly and saluted: "I have met my lord father and I have met my lord Qian."

As for Chu Lan, he didn't reveal his identity to the outside world, so it's no wonder Wei Ruo didn't salute him.

"There's no need to be too polite." Wei Mingting's voice couldn't hide his excitement.

When he came over, he saw the lush and vibrant seedling field beside Wei Ruo from a distance.

The verdant green contrasts sharply with the surrounding barren land.

Other people who came with Wei Mingting were also observing Wei Ruo's seedling field at close range.

Chapter 54 was unanimously praised

After some observations, everyone's faces were filled with joy, even Chu Lan, who had always been indifferent, was no exception.

Qian Zhixian praised excitedly: "Master Wei really raised a good daughter! He actually planted crops in this barren land! In this way, the area of cultivated land in Xingshan County will be greatly increased! It is really a solution." It has met the urgent needs of the people of Xingshan County!"

Lu Yuhong, who came with Chu Lan, praised it very directly: "Isn't this amazing? There aren't even a few weeds next to it, and you can grow live crops here! And I saw that the seedlings grew faster than Xingshan The rest of the county is even better!"

Wei Mingting listened to everyone's praise, looked at the neatly dressed daughter in front of him, and felt joyful and proud: "It's ashamed to say that my little girl has all these abilities through her own hard work. As a father, I can't do anything. Responsibility, and failed to teach her anything."

Praise of his daughter is the truth, Wei Mingting is not humble, but he is really ashamed to say that he is a good teacher.

Qian Zhixian said: "Lord Wei, don't be humble. You are busy for the safety of the people of Xingshan County. Now Ling Ai is also risking her life for the people of Xingshan County to come to the south of the city to open up wasteland. You father and daughter This piece of love for the people is the same."

At this time, Chu Lan spoke and asked Wei Ruo: "I have a question for Miss Wei."

"Sir, please tell me." Wei Ruo didn't dodge.

"I think there are still seedlings growing in this field, but ordinary rice should be heading at this time. You are still in the state of seedlings. Isn't it too late?" Chu Lan asked.

Just now everyone was immersed in the joy of successfully planting seedlings in the wasteland improvement, and for a moment forgot this key point. When Chu Lan spoke, Wei Mingting and Qian Zhixian both looked at Wei Ruo, and their eyes were also full of concern for this question. Confuse.

Wei Ruo replied: "Young master, don't worry, the seeds I sow in this seedling field are new rice seeds brought over from Huzhou Prefecture. They are slightly different from ordinary rice seeds. They are sown in June and July of the lunar calendar. It lasts about 160 days, and it will not be mature until November for harvest."

Hearing that, the three people in front of Wei Ruo showed surprise expressions again.

Whether it is Qian Zhixian who is a parent official, Chu Lan who is in the royal family, or Wei Mingting who is a military attache, they all know clearly that being able to plant rice at different times in the case of limited arable land is tantamount to artificially distributing rice. The area of cultivated land has expanded.

But right now they haven't seen the mature rice, and they don't dare to believe Wei Ruo's words easily.

Chu Lan said: "When the rice that Ms. Wei tried to plant here matures, and I am sure that Ms. Wei can help Xingshan County increase the arable area and increase grain production, I will report this matter to the court."

Hearing this, Qian Zhixian felt a little excited, because if it was reported, most of the credit would belong to the Wei family, but he, the county magistrate, would also have a share.

Wei Mingting's reaction was a bit muted, without much joy, but it could be seen that he was looking forward to this matter.

Wei Ruo was not very happy. If someone else told her these things today, she would be in a better mood, but Chu Lan, she really didn't want to have anything to do with him.

Qian Zhixian then asked Chu Lan for instructions: "Young master, do you think this wasteland in the south of the city can be handed over to the government office and Xiaowei's mansion for large-scale development?"

Chu Lan had an order, he only wanted them to know this trip, not even his family members, so Qian Zhixian immediately changed his name.

Miss Wei's trial planting has been successful, and Qian Zhi County must find a way to expand the scale no matter it is out of personal political achievements or for the survival of the people.

Chu Lan replied: "Xingshan County is under the jurisdiction of Qianzhi County. How to develop the wasteland can be decided by Qianzhi County. There is no need to ask me for instructions."

Qian Zhixian: "Excuse me... I know."

Then Qian Zhixian asked Wei Mingting, Wei Ruo and his daughter: "Master Wei, Miss Wei, are you willing to contract all the barren land in the south of the city?"

Wei Mingting did not answer immediately, but looked at Wei Ruo.

The matter of reclamation of the wasteland in the south of the city was proposed by the daughter, and it was the daughter who spent time and energy. If the area of land reclamation is expanded in the future, it must be the daughter who has worked hard, so the decision-making power should be given to the daughter.

Wei Ruo replied: "Father, my daughter thinks that the wasteland in the south of the city is very large. If all of it is reclaimed by our school's Weifu, it will inevitably be a bit powerless. Why don't we give the wasteland to the people for reclamation. Many people in the city have lost their livelihoods. Especially the fishermen who were unable to go fishing due to the Japanese pirates' rebellion, if we give them some wasteland and teach them how to improve farming, they will definitely try their best to do it."

Wei Mingting was deeply moved, so he turned to ask the magistrate Qian: "Master Qian, what my daughter said is true, such a large wasteland cannot be reclaimed with the power of the county government and the school captain's mansion alone. It is better to leave it to the common people. Let them have land to cultivate and grain to harvest!"

Qian Zhixian said: "It's not that I don't want to distribute it to the people, but that Japanese pirates are rampant now, and this south of the city is not a safe place. Although Wangyue Mountain isolates the south and east sides of Xingshan County, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no Japanese people. Over the mountain... If too many people are allowed to freely enter and exit the south of the city, it may bring many hidden dangers..."

This is indeed a problem, which is why Wei Ruorang's nanny and the government applied to reclaim the wasteland in the south of the city but was rejected.

"It's not a difficult task." Chu Lan suddenly said.

Everyone looked at Chu Lan, and Wei Ruo also looked at him.

Chu Lan's eyes were deep: "Recently, the imperial court will send more troops to Xingshan County. At that time, we will set up defenses at Wangyue Mountain and the important checkpoints in the south of the city, so that the south of the city will be guaranteed and the people will be able to farm here with confidence."

After listening to Chu Lan's words, Zhixian Qian and Wei Mingting had different expressions.

It is a good thing that the imperial court is willing to send more troops here, but they just don't know whether the Wei family, who is disadvantaged in fighting against the Japanese, and Qianzhi County, who failed to bring the people of Xingshan County to eat, will be punished.

Then Chu Lan looked at Wei Ruo: "Miss Wei wants the people to reclaim the wasteland here, so are you willing to give them the method of improving the wasteland?"

"Of course." Wei Ruo gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.

Isn't this nonsense, if you distribute the wasteland to the people and let them come to the south of the city but don't teach them how to improve it, do you want them to come to the south of the city to look at the scenery in a daze?

Chu Lan showed a satisfied expression: "After expanding the scale, the manpower and material resources needed will inevitably increase. In order to help Ms. Wei reclaim the wasteland better, I will send some people for Ms. Wei to send. Ms. Wei can do it freely."

"Thank you for your kindness, son, but I am different from you, so I should avoid suspicion." Wei Ruo said hurriedly.

Chapter 55 Ruoer is really sensible

"Miss Wei doesn't have to worry about this. If I want to send someone to help Miss Wei, I will naturally send a nanny to hand over to Miss Wei. She won't let Miss Wei deal with me or other men." Chu Lan explained.

Seeing that men and women are different, this excuse did not dissuade Chu Lan, Wei Ruo looked up at Wei Mingting, hoping that Wei Mingting would help her refuse.

Wei Mingting seems to have received Wei Ruo's distress signal, he turned his head and looked at Chu Lan, "Loving the people is a blessing for the people, but my daughter has no experience in dispatching large-scale personnel, let her take it slow..."

Chu Lan interrupted: "Master Wei, don't need to say too much, Miss Wei is the most qualified to improve the wasteland in the south of Xingshan County. If she says no, no one should be able to say that she can."

Wei Mingting had no choice but to say: "Since it is the son's kindness, you should accept Ruo'er. The son has a kind heart, so I hope that the people of Xingshan County can have enough to eat."

"Then I'd rather be obedient than respectful." Wei Ruo had no choice.

After talking with Wei Mingting, Qian Zhixian, Chu Lan and others, Wei Ruo ordered Agui and Xiaoba to pick up the seedlings and prepare to transplant them.

When raising seedlings, the sowing is relatively dense. When transplanting rice seedlings, in order to ensure that each rice plant can fully receive the light and nutrients in the soil, the interval between seedlings will be larger.

So there must be a lot of seedlings grown from the two-acre seedling field to plant the two-acre paddy field.

"Father, did some seedlings die in the rice fields we planted on Mantou Mountain this year?" Wei Ruo asked Wei Mingting.

The Wei family and other families in Xingshan County grow early rice, which has passed the transplanting period long ago. The growth is normal, and it is already taller than a child at this moment.

But Wei Ruo heard that due to the weather, the rice of many families in Xingshan County did not grow well, and some of them died directly.

"Your mother did mention it to me."

During Wei Mingting's short stay at home, Yun's would not bother him with ordinary trivial matters at home, but a lot of rice in the family died. This matter is related to the family's harvest in autumn, and Yun's did not dare to hide it from Wei Mingting, so he informed Wei Mingting early. He, get ready early.

"For the extra seedlings that will grow here in a while, please ask my father to find someone to send to the Mantou Mountain in the north of the city to make up for the dead parts." Wei Ruo said.

Wei Mingting was stunned for a moment, then happily said: "Ruoer is thoughtful!"

I can't help but feel that my daughter is delicate and considerate of her family.

What Wei Ruo thought was that if she sends the seedlings to the north of the city later, she can drop by Xiaoyang Mountain.

As for the seedlings, if you don't give them to the Wei family's own fields, you can only give them to others. There is no time to plant other wastelands before they are reclaimed. She doesn't know the situation of other people's homes.

In any case, it is the seedlings they planted with hard work, and it is always a pity to throw them away.

After all the seedlings were planted, Wei Ruo ordered Agui and Xiaoba to plow the land again and prepare for transplanting.

And Wei Ruo went back first, and some of the seedlings that were going to be sent to Weijia Mantou Mountain in the north of the city were going back with Wei Ruo.

On the way back, Wei Ruo lay in front of the carriage window, looking at the scenery along the way.

Xiumei squeezed Wei Ruo's shoulder and calf.

"Miss, should we choose a few reliable people and give them the method of improving the land, so that no one else will know." Xiumei asked.

"No, I can directly disclose this method, which is more efficient." Wei Ruo said.

"Then what if the apprentice dies of starvation after teaching?" Xiumei asked.

This is not Mojiashan. The villagers of Mojiashan have a good relationship with them. The lady taught them not to worry about anything. They are not familiar with the people here, so they are afraid that a few mouse droppings will get mixed in.

"Don't worry, they have learned it, but they have only learned the surface. They have not learned the underlying logic, so they will not really teach the disciples to starve to death of the master. What's more, the good skills of Miss Ni and I are not bad for this one. "

Some skills Wei Ruo wants to keep for himself to make money for a living, but some skills can be shared to help those innocent people who are suffering.

For example, this method of improving the land is not very useful for her to keep, and there are not barren lands everywhere that need her to improve, and she is unlikely to make too much money by relying on this method.

Moreover, she does not teach others the methods of improving wasteland, because the improvement methods of different wastelands are different, and each barren soil has its own method of impoverishment, so there are different improvement methods.

Even if it is all saline-alkali land, the method of neutralization and improvement is not static. How much to use and how to deploy are all particular. She only shared the improvement method of the wasteland in this area. If someone uses it elsewhere Go, is not going to work.

Soon, the matter in the south of the city reached Yun's ears, and Yun was very excited to hear it.

Improve the land and successfully grow crops, and have rice seeds that can be planted later. Not only have I won the praise of the adults, but I am also thinking about the yield of the terraced fields at home.

Everything that Wei Ruo has done has entered into Yun's heart.

Praised Wei Ruo several times, and every time she praised Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan's mood sank a little.

Wei Qingwan's change of mood Yun didn't notice, she got the news and hurriedly arranged for people to go to Mantou Mountain to replant the seedlings that Wei Ruo took back.

When Wei Ruo arrived at the Wei Mansion, the Yun family greeted Wei Ruo at the door for the first time.

"Ruoer, you have worked hard these days!" Yun's face was full of joy.

"I won't go back to the mansion for now, I'll take these seedlings and go directly to Mantou Mountain. Have you arranged the manpower for transplanting here?" Wei Ruo asked, with no expression on his face, it was just a routine.

"It's been arranged. I set off for Mantou Mountain 15 minutes ago. I can start planting the rice seedlings only when they arrive." Yun replied.

"That's good. I'll follow along and take a look at the growth of the crops on Mantou Mountain." Wei Ruo said.

"That's fine, but Ruo'er still needs to pay attention to her body, and don't tire herself out too much." Yun said with concern.

"Yeah." Wei Ruo didn't continue to gossip with Yun Shi, and immediately asked Uncle Liu, who was driving, to go to Mantou Mountain in the north of the city after getting her approval.

When facing Yun's, Wei Ruo said to see the growth of Mantou Mountain, but in fact it was to see her Xiaoyang Mountain justifiably.

Wei Ruo's real thoughts are unknown to Yun's family. She just thinks that her daughter is very sensible and considerate of her family. She used extra seedlings to make up for the dead rice fields at home, and went to the family's terraced fields to check the situation in person.

Yun's heart was very touched. Although there are some small conflicts in the family, my daughter is still very knowledgeable about the family business!

Wei Ruo: It's a pity to throw it away. Plant it wherever you have time. By the way, use it as an excuse to look at my own property.

Wei Mingting, Yun Shi: My daughter is really sensible, she really cares about her family!

Chapter 56 was a great help

Wei Ruo's carriage went all the way north, and when it arrived near Mantou Mountain in the north of the city, the stewards here had already received orders from Yun's, and they were waiting early.

After Wei Ruo asked the manager to arrange for the long-term workers to replant the seedlings in the vacant area, he excused himself to walk around and left accompanied by Xiumei.

Along the way, Wei Ruo found that the rice fields here are not growing well, and there are still large areas of death.

The situation in some rice fields is more serious than that of the Wei family.

This is not a good sign. If this situation continues, this year's autumn harvest will be worrying.

The nanny had written to her earlier about the food situation in Xingshan County this year, but now that she saw it with her own eyes, she realized that the situation was worse than she thought.

Wei Ruo brought Xiumei to Xiaoyang Mountain.

Most of the original barren hills have been planted with sweet potatoes, with green leaves all over the ground, and the growth is gratifying.

Now I still pick some vine leaves every day and sell them in the market.

The price of two pennies is very close to the people, whether it is wealthy or ordinary people, they can afford it.

Therefore, one car a day is not enough to sell.

Although the price of two pennies is not high, it can still be profitable.

For ordinary fruits and vegetables, Wei Ruo tends to make small profits but sell them quickly, and she tends to sell high prices for "luxury goods" aimed at the upper class.

Wei Ruo randomly selected a piece of land, dug up a corner, and checked the growth of sweet potatoes inside.

The sweet potatoes at this time have not yet grown to the optimal size. They are still a little small, only a small section like a little finger, which is far from the standard size for harvesting. However, it can be seen that the current growth condition is good, and there are no pests and diseases.

The seeds of Wei Ruo Space are all excellent species, which are excellent in resistance to diseases and insect pests, drought and waterlogging. And the growth rate is relatively fast among the same kind. It is estimated that in another month, all the sweet potatoes will be fully grown.

At that time, they can be sold one after another. Some of them are stored in the warehouse, and the remaining part of Wei Ruo intends to make dried sweet potatoes for preservation, and part of the dried sweet potatoes will be sold in preserved fruit shops.

During the Dragon Boat Festival trip, Wei Ruo took the opportunity to inspect several preserved fruit shops, and finally chose one, planning to cooperate with the other party to sell dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato chips in the other shop.

In this way, for Wei Ruo, the risk of opening a separate store for sales can be saved, and at the same time, it can also increase sales for itself with the help of the customer traffic that the preserved fruit store already has.

Wei Ruo stayed in Xiaoyang Mountain until the evening, and then returned to Wei's Mantou Mountain.

The seedling transplanting work is coming to an end, Wei Ruo glanced at it casually, got into the carriage and went back.

By the time Wei Ruo returned to Wei Mansion, it was past the usual time for dinner in Wei Mansion.

Wei Ruo came home late, and the Wei family didn't have a meal in advance. They waited until Wei Ruo came back before Yun informed the kitchen to arrange the dishes.

After dinner, when sitting together drinking tea, Yun asked Wei Ruo about the details of today.

"Ruo'er has really done a great job in the wasteland in the south of the city. My mother really didn't expect that Ruo'er could really improve and successfully grow crops. My mother underestimated Ruo'er before." Yun said with emotion.

"Yes." Wei Ruo replied in a low voice.

"Ruo'er, your decision to put the seedlings in the Mantou Mountain is also a great favor to the family. This year, the seedlings in everyone's fields have died to varying degrees. Our family is relatively good, and nearly half of them died. Before autumn, the food situation of this year can already be foreseen, the people in the city are worried, and the wives of the families I know can't help but worry about this matter."

The Zhongtian property has not been harvested year after year, and even some well-established families in Xingshan County may not be able to bear it.

The people of this large family are waiting to eat, and if they want to buy food every day, they don't know how much money it will cost.

What's more, if everyone is short of food, the price of food will inevitably rise, and even if you want to buy food yourself, it will become very difficult.

Wei Ruo sipped tea, but didn't answer. What she was thinking now was that if she knew that everyone's seedlings were dead, she should have secretly sold the extra seedlings, and she should be able to sell them for a lot of money.

"What happened in the south of the city today, Ruo'er will tell Wei Niang in detail." Yun also wanted to hear Wei Ruo talk about the specific process.

"The seedlings are growing well, father and Master Qian both agree. There is also a son from the capital who wants to help, and will send someone over tomorrow." Wei Ruo replied lightly, everything was taken care of by her.

She doesn't want to mention Chu Lan's matter, and the person he sent will be at the mansion tomorrow, and with his status, it is impossible for Wei Mingting not to notify the mansion in advance.

"Your Excellency, do you want to help?" Yun asked in surprise.

Wei Qingwan also raised her head to look at Wei Ruo.

Now in Xingshan County, the only one who can be called a "noble man" by the Wei family is the young man in Jinyi who caught a glimpse on the street that day.

Although the identity of the nobleman has not been fully disclosed, the Wei family has already guessed seven or eight points based on the news from the capital.

"Well, he seems to be very concerned about the suffering of people's livelihood." Wei Ruo was very annoyed by Chu Lan, and didn't even want to talk about things related to her.

Wei Ruo spoke calmly, but the hearts of those who listened were turbulent.

"Yeah, it should be like this. Since the nobleman wants to help, then you should be more cautious." Yun immediately told Wei Ruo.

"I did my best when it comes to farming." Wei Ruo replied, but it wasn't for Chu Lan to see.

Yun said with some emotion: "I thought Wanwan and Ms. Qian would offend the nobleman after they bumped into the nobleman at Fahua Temple that day, but now it seems that the nobleman didn't take what happened that day to heart, on the contrary. Now, Ruo'er, the matter of you in the south of the city has caught the attention of the nobleman."

When Yun Shi said this, Wei Qingwan, who was beside her with her head slightly lowered, trembled.

These words were like a slap in the face to her.

Coupled with the comparison with Wei Ruo later, Wei Qingwan only felt that she was stepped on the ground.

Wei Ruo didn't really listen to what Yun said, this noble man was not expensive at all to her, she wished she could stay far away.

Wei Yilin pursed his mouth and glanced at Wei Ruo several times. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't really believe that Wei Ruo could make such a career.

Why would Wei Qingruo be able to do something that even sister Wanwan couldn't do? Sister Wanwan is so much better than her!

After dinner, Wei Qingwan felt like chewing wax.

She left Cangyun Garden with a sad and lonely mood.

When Wei Yichen saw her, he chased after her and asked, "What's wrong with Wanwan? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Brother, am I useless?" Wei Qingwan asked softly.

"Why does Wanwan ask like that?"

Chapter 57 You shouldn't have such thoughts

"I'm not as good as my sister who can do a good job, earn merits for the Wei family, and make the Wei family favored by the nobles. I'm really useless..." Wei Qingwan bit her lip, her eyes glistening with tears.

Wei Yichen frowned, "Wanwan, why do you have such an idea?"

"I... I just feel that I am not as good as my sister in every way, and I will definitely not be liked by you."

After Wei Qingwan finished speaking, she thought that Wei Yichen would comfort her, but unexpectedly, Wei Yichen stopped, frowned, and looked at her solemnly.

"Brother?" Wei Qingwan looked at Wei Yichen suspiciously.

"Wanwan, we should be happy if Ruoer is excellent, and we shouldn't think that the other person's excellence will make us lose favor and be disliked. We are family members, even good and bad are family members; we are family members, how can we Comparing everything?" Wei Yichen said solemnly.

Wei Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that she had slipped her words just now.

"Brother, I don't mean that. I am naturally happy that my sister is excellent. I just realized that I need to work harder after my sister is so good. Otherwise, my brothers and sisters are all so good, and I will be left behind. I also want to do my best for my family." I did my part." Wei Qingwan explained.

"It's okay if you think so." Wei Yichen's expression softened, and he added, "Just don't put too much pressure on yourself, let alone think that Ruo'er's excellence will affect you. She is excellent, we just want to be happy for her, and we don't need to think about it."

"Well, I know." Wei Qingwan responded softly.

Seeing this, Wei Yichen didn't say much, thinking that Wanwan was just a slip of the tongue, she has always been very kind and gentle, so she wouldn't really have any opinion on Ruoer.

After chatting for a few words, the two separated.

As soon as she returned to Wangmei Garden, Wei Qingwan threw herself on the bed and cried until the pear blossoms were raining, and it was useless to let Cui He comfort her.

"When I went to Xie's house to study, it was my sister who was favored by Mr. Wang, and it was my sister who could improve the wasteland and grow seedlings. Compared with my sister, I am not as good as this or that. I will be abandoned by my parents sooner or later!"

"Miss, don't think so. If you break your body from crying, then the one who is so happy is not the eldest lady? You must not give up on yourself!" Cui He was also worried.

She was afraid that Wei Qingwan would be devastated. Once Wei Qingwan fell out of favor, her life as Wei Qingwan's personal maid would also become difficult.

"So what can I do if I don't give up on myself, I can't blame others, I am not the flesh and blood of my parents, I have no blood relationship with them, and it will be a matter of time to be rejected..."

The more Wei Qingwan thought about it, the sadder she became, and the more she thought about it, the more hopeless her future became.

"Miss..." Cui He didn't know how to comfort Wei Qingwan for a while, and muttered: "It would be great if my mother was here, maybe she can give you some advice, miss."

"But mama can't come back now." Wei Qingwan murmured.

If Mammy was here, she would definitely help her.

It's a pity, because of what happened last time, Mammy was sent to Zhuangzi as a punishment.

"Miss, why don't you find an opportunity to ask Madam for mercy, Madam will listen to you if you speak." Cui He said again.

"I... try it next time." Wei Qingwan responded in a low voice.

Qian Zhi County was very efficient in handling affairs. After returning home, he posted a public announcement and sent his subordinates to publicize it.

But anyone who does not have land, whether they are farmers or fishermen, can go to the government to register. The government will distribute the wasteland in the south of the city to everyone in an orderly manner, and teach everyone how to improve and cultivate the wasteland.

As soon as the news came out, a long queue formed at the gate of the county government office.

Not long after, the official approval was actually obtained, and the people who had the right to cultivate the land cheered.

For a time, the entire county was filled with the joy of the poor people.

Seeing such a grand occasion, Lu Yuhong, who was in the teahouse in the distance, couldn't help expressing emotion: "It's really a good idea for Miss Wei to come up with it. Look at these displaced people who have no land, no land, and no food. They are so motivated. Let them come If you work hard, you must be more attentive than the people you hire."

Chu Lan stared at the street without commenting, but from his expression, Lu Yuhong could still tell that Chu Lan approved of this matter.

"Brother Chu, tell me, in Xingshan County, are you more interested in the boss of Sibaozhai or Miss Wei?" Lu Yuhong's inexplicable curiosity emerged again.

"Brother Yu, you are too curious."

"I've been like this since I was a child, and it's not the first day that Brother Chu has known me." Lu Yuhong muttered.

"Although the things sold by Sibaozhai are good, and the methods are shrewd, they are all for money; Miss Wei's improvement of wasteland and planting crops is for the people. Comparing the two, it is different. But I am curious about the two. It's not too serious, the purpose of my trip is to fight against the Japanese." Chu Lan replied.

Lu Yuhong said: "The people in Xingshan County are really miserable. There are Japanese pirates coming from outside, and they are facing such a schedule inside. I hope that Miss Wei's method can be useful, and it can really produce food. I also hope that the reinforcements from the imperial court will come soon. Some time."

"When the reinforcements arrive, the commanding generals must be capable. If Wei Mingting fails to achieve results this time, his position as a sixth-rank school lieutenant will be lost. Even if he has a daughter who can help the common people. "

"Indeed, to be a general, you still need to be able to win battles, but I think Wei Mingting seems to have some skills, otherwise he wouldn't have defended for so long with so many troops. I also came to Xingshan County and observed carefully. The military strength in Xingshan County is really pitifully small." Lu Yuhong said with emotion.

After being busy for two days, Wei Ruo went to Xie's house to study with Xie Ying.

After arriving at the Xie Mansion Academy, Wei Ruo sat down in his seat.

Mr. Wang has not yet arrived, and Xie Ying is sorting out her war horse picture.

Seeing Wei Ruo, Xie Ying, who had never been very curious about Wei Ruo, suddenly looked at her with curious eyes.

"Have you really grown crops in the wasteland south of the city?"

The improvement of wasteland in the south of the city to grow crops is the most discussed and most concerned thing in Xingshan County in the past two days. It is hard for Xie Ying to know.

"Yes." Wei Ruo nodded.

"Then you are amazing."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"I seldom praise people. You are the first one I praise you at the same age." Xie Ying emphasized.

"Then I am honored."

"It's not that you are honored, it's that you are really good. You are much better than those women I have seen who only know how to be jealous and vying for beauty. When I usually meet those people, they are always chattering, and I find it annoying to hear. I I don't like people like that, I think they are very boring, but now I find that you are very different from those people."

Wei Ruo couldn't help laughing. Xie Ying had been indifferent to her since they had been in class together for so long, and rarely talked to her so much. She didn't expect to have admiration for her because of her achievements in the wasteland in the south of the city.

Is this considered a windfall?

Doing an investigation, I feel that the hostess has repeatedly talked to Wei Yilin and Wei Qingwan about those elder sisters and elder sisters who are short-sighted (the time when Wei Yilin apologized, and the time when she ran to Wangmeiyuan to confront Wei Yilin) is **** people off. Deduction 1 for dark damage, deduction 2 for feeling that the heroine is teaching the younger siblings sincerely.

Seeing a message saying that the heroine is sick, the Wei family doesn't take her seriously, but she wants to teach her younger siblings.

I can't fix this.

Chapter 58 New Partners

"Let me tell you, I admire those who can serve the country and the people. I have always yearned for those heroes who can fight on the battlefield! When I was a child, my grandfather often told me those hero stories. At that time, I wanted to be myself It will be great if you can go to the battlefield in the future!"

Xie Ying began to tell Wei Ruo about her ideals.

Following Xie Ying's mouth, she said with regret and helplessness: "It's a pity that I am a girl. I only realized after I grew up that there are many things that girls can't do. Let alone going to the battlefield. Every door has a bunch of rules."

Wei Ruo let out a "puchi" laugh. This Miss Xie family is really interesting, she is indeed different from ordinary boudoir girls!

"What are you laughing at?" Xie Ying asked.

"I'm not laughing, I'm surprised! I agree with you. If I want to cultivate the land in the south of the city, I have to get my parents' permission, otherwise I can't go out easily. Even if my parents agree, I have to go out every time I go out." Take the nanny at home."

"But you still did a great job. I heard from my mother that after you succeed in this move, you can help the people in the city and let more people eat. The credit and the soldiers who guard the border and defend the country are the same!"

Xie Ying admires such a person the most!

"If you like, you can also participate." Wei Ruo suggested.

"Can I do it too?" Xie Ying asked suspiciously.

"Of course, there is still a lot of open space in the south of the city to grow things."

"But isn't the wasteland in the south of the city mainly cultivated by farmers without land?" Xie Ying asked.

"Most of the wasteland in the south of the city was handed over to landless farmers and unemployed fishermen, but because their farming costs were very limited, they were given places with better terrain, close to official roads or water sources, or places with relatively flat terrain. Places with more complex terrain have not been allocated."

"Can crops be grown in places with complex terrain?" Xie Ying asked.

"Yes, but it is not suitable for planting crops like rice, because the labor cost and maintenance cost are too high. We can grow bamboo, fungi, and various fruits and vegetables, and even medicinal materials."

Wei Ruo looked at Xie Ying who was listening seriously, and an idea had already been brewed in his mind.

Wei Ruo continued to say to Xie Ying: "If you are really interested, we can partner."

"Partnership?" Xie Ying looked at Wei Ruo curiously.

"You are not good at farming, and although I am good at doing these things, I have limited freedom and limited time in the Wei family, and there are limited people under my command. If we cooperate, we can learn from each other's strengths and make up for our weaknesses. The money we earn is based on How about the proportion of effort?"

"Although I don't like growing things, I think what you said is very interesting!" Xie Ying was full of interest.

Xie Ying grew up spoiled by her grandparents and parents. She has no shortage of money to spend on weekdays, but she is full of novelties about earning money by herself.

Especially now that she has a different view on planting.

"Then what do you think we should grow?" Xie Ying asked.

"You can plant some medicinal materials. Because of the war, the consumption of medicinal materials is very high. The price of medicinal materials in the city has always been high. After we plant medicinal materials and sell them, we can make money. If the army needs them, we can provide them at cost prices to ensure that the army There will be no shortage of life-saving medicine." Wei Ruo suggested.

"That's great! You can make money and help the soldiers!" Xie Ying became more interested and even eager to try.

"If you agree, you will not only have to talk to the county government, but also send people to work in the fields. There are many things to be busy." Wei Ruo reminded.

"That's what you need to say? I'm not kidding with you! I, Xie Ying, will make it bigger if I want to! You wait, I will talk to my mother in a while! If my mother disagrees, I will Write a letter and tell my grandfather!" Xie Ying replied domineeringly.

Xie Ying is serious.

"In addition, I have another condition. When we cooperate to do these things, you need to keep it secret for me. You can't tell outsiders, and you can't tell anyone in my family." Wei Ruo said.

"Why? I won't talk about outsiders, why can't your own family members?" Xie Ying asked puzzled.

"What if my younger sister wants to participate after my family members know?" Wei Ruo asked.

"No, I don't like her. She is too troublesome, she seems to fall down when the wind blows, and she always looks at me with a very weak look. I just ignored her before, and she felt wronged as if I beat her It's like a meal." Xie Ying refused decisively.

"But once someone finds out and my family gives me an order, it's hard for me to refuse." Wei Ruo continued to explain.

"It's better to keep it a secret. It's good to keep it a secret. It's a mystery. When I talk to my mother later, I will tell her to keep it a secret!" Xie Ying said.

"Okay, you first get the consent of your family, and then we discuss how to proceed." Wei Ruo said.

Cooperating with Xie Ying has many advantages for Wei Ruo. First, Xie Ying's temperament is very suitable for her appetite; second, Xie Ying has background and ability, and meets the requirements to be her partner; The most important point is that she can avoid the Wei family.

Before the development of wasteland in the south of the city required an official background, she had to get in touch with the government through the Wei family.

Now she can use Xie Ying to reclaim a piece of land bypassing the Wei family, and she can also increase an extra part of her income.

Xie Ying is usually lazy. Once she encounters something she wants to do, she doesn't like to procrastinate. During the lunch break, she went to Mrs. Xie to express her thoughts.

Ms. Xie thinks this is a good thing. Everyone has seen the achievements made by Miss Wei. It is beneficial and harmless for her daughter to follow Miss Wei to do something meaningful.

And this matter is not a big deal to the Xie family, she doesn't even need to take money from Xie's family, but just take some money from her own dowry to buy for her daughter.

Seeing that Mrs. Xie agreed, Xie Ying was very happy.

"Thank you mother!" Xie Ying hugged Madam Xie and kissed her on the cheek.

"You little monkey, my mother told you that since you want to do it, you have to do it like Miss Wei's and make some achievements. Don't run away halfway through it." Mrs. Xie urged.

Mrs. Xie doesn't care about Yin Zi, but just hopes that her daughter can develop good habits.

"Mother, don't worry, when did I run away? I despise the behavior of running away the most!"

"You also said that you didn't run away. Last year in the capital, I took you on a flower boat tour. When it was time to go out, you lied there and said you had a stomachache and refused to go." Mrs. Xie said.

"Then...that's different..."

"Okay, okay, this time I choose to trust you. Also, your brother will come to Xingshan County in a few days, and you can ask him to help you if you have anything to do." Mrs. Xie said with a smile .

Chapter 59 Self-inflicted humiliation

"Huh? Brother, what is he doing here? Isn't he preparing for the imperial examination? Shouldn't he be too busy to leave the class in the academy in the capital." Xie Ying asked.

"My mother is not very clear about this matter. Anyway, your grandfather and your father both agreed, and you must have something to do before you come here."

"Oh, fine. Regardless of that, I'll go to Wei Qingruo first and tell her that my mother has agreed with us to set up a medicine field, and I want to do it right away!"

Xie Ying hurried back to the school, found Wei Ruo, and told her the news.

"Wei Qingruo, my mother has already agreed, when can we start?" Xie Ying was eager to try.

"I can do it right away." Wei Ruo likes this style of doing things without delay.

"Then tell me quickly, what we are going to do now, how to arrange the work, what things we need to buy, and how many people we need." Xie Ying sat down next to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo took out a pen and paper, and while explaining to Xie Ying, marked the key points on the paper.

Xie Ying listened very carefully, pointing out anything she didn't understand, with a serious and studious look.

After finishing the work, I took the paper written by Wei Ruo to find Mrs. Xie to borrow someone, and started working officially, with extremely high efficiency.

Chu Lan was also efficient in handling affairs. After only two days, she sent a nanny to Xiaowei's Mansion to discuss with Wei Ruo about the south of the city.

For this reason, Wei Ruo specially asked Mr. Wang for leave and stayed at home to arrange various things.

Mr. Wang did not object to this arbitrarily, and told Wei Ruo that what she is doing now is also a part of learning.

Seeing the nanny sent by Chu Lan, Yun's heart was startled, and she intuitively knew that the other party's background was not even the slightest difference from her own nanny.

In addition, her husband reminded her last night that the nobleman had an unusual status, so she was asked to be careful.

After hearing that the other party's surname is Chu, Mrs. Yun already knew a thing or two. People in the royal family, even those who belong to the unfavorable prince's family, they can't afford to offend.

Mr. Yun respectfully led the nanny sent by Chu Lan to Tingsongyuan, and then told Wei Ruo a few words before leaving in time, so as not to delay Wei Ruo and the nanny talking about business.

"The old slave has met Miss Wei." Mother Qin saluted Wei Ruo, with a respectful attitude, but her demeanor remained undiminished, and she looked very majestic.

Wei Ruo knew that most of the nuns sent by Chu Lan came from the palace, so they were different from ordinary nuns.

Even though the House of Duke Zhongyi is an earl's house, even in its heyday it could not be compared with the rules of the palace, not to mention it has long since fallen.

"You don't need to be too polite." Wei Ruo said, "Master Ni sent you here to help me, please don't pay too much attention to the other rules, just pass on my meaning and let the people below complete the task properly ."

"Miss Wei, don't worry, the young master has already explained to the old slave. The old slave should do his best to help Miss Wei. If there is anything that Miss Wei needs the old slave to do, as long as it is related to the reclamation of the wasteland in the south of the city, you can order For Lao Nu, Lao Nu will arrange for people to complete it."

Although Mother Qin has very strict rules, she has no airs towards Wei Ruo, nor is she critical of Wei Ruo's faults. She can clearly tell what she is here for. He will find fault with her rules.

Nurse Qin was discussing something with Wei Ruo when Wei Qingwan suddenly entered Tingsong Garden.

"Sister." Wei Qingwan came to Wei Ruo and called out sweetly.

Wei Ruo's eyes froze, and he sized up Wei Qingwan.

The so-called going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, after the oolong incident of Xie's family reading, Wei Qingwan never came to listen to Songyuan. What kind of wind is blowing today that brought her here?

"Sister, I brought you some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes." Wei Qingwan held an exquisite food box in her hand, and when she opened it, it was her specialty pastry, sweet-scented osmanthus cakes.

"Wait a minute, I'll talk to you after I finish talking with Mother Qin."

Wei Ruo didn't know which song Wei Qingwan was singing, she didn't want to talk to Wei Qingwan more, she was afraid that after a few sentences, Wei Qingwan would say something that she disliked and she wouldn't be able to bear it in front of outsiders.

Wei Qingwan nodded slightly, but did not leave, just waited by the side.

At this time, Nanny Qin spoke, and she looked at Wei Qingwan: "This is the second lady of the house, right?"

Seeing Mother Qin looking at herself, Wei Qingwan looked shy, lowered her head slightly, and replied softly: "Yes."

Who would have thought that Mother Qin would immediately say: "Second Miss, please stay away. I have business to discuss with Eldest Miss, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to listen in."

Wei Qingwan was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly changed her words: "Well, then it's really an unlucky time for me to come, so I'll go and wait for my sister first."

"Second Miss did not come by coincidence. I should have known about my visit to the Colonel's Mansion today. I don't know why Second Miss didn't come sooner or later. She chose to come at this time." Mother Qin spoke in a nonchalant manner. Not tactful.

What Mother Qin said was exactly what Wei Ruo thought in her heart. Wei Qingwan's behavior today is really strange. Because of Chu Lan's special status, he sent a mother by his side. People in the family should be careful, even Yingzhuyuan has received the news, it is impossible for Wei Qingwan not to know.

Wei Qingwan knew it clearly, but she chose to meet Wei Ruo at this time. If she said that she had no other intentions, Wei Ruo would not believe it.

But if she had other thoughts, it would be a bit too stupid.

Nurse Qin is someone close to Chu Lan, but no matter what, she is just a nanny. Could it be that she thinks that if she behaves better in front of her, she will say something nice to Chu Lan when she returns? Is she a nanny or a matchmaker?

This would make sense if there were three aunts and six wives in the village, but Nanny Qin is a nanny from the palace.

The royal nurses are very well behaved, how could they do such inexplicable things.

Wei Ruo remembers that although Wei Qingwan in the original book is beautiful and weak, she is not stupid. Could it be that she is missing as a supporting role, or she failed to fall in love with Chu Lan according to the original schedule, which caused her to lose her mind?

I have only heard that love makes people blind, but I have never heard that not falling in love can also make people blind.

After hearing Nanny Qin's words, Wei Qingwan's face turned pale, and she hurriedly explained: "Don't be angry, Mammy, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on my sister's speech, I didn't know that the conversation between Nanny and sister should not be known to outsiders, I I was just worried about my sister's poor reception, so I specially brought some pastries I made over to have a look."

"Excuse me for my blunt words, the eldest lady is the second young lady's sister-in-law, and the second lady said to me, an outsider, that she was worried that the eldest lady would not treat her well, what did she want to tell others?"

Nurse Qin is indeed a person from the palace, with exquisite thoughts, and she can recognize the hidden words in Wei Qingwan's words as soon as she hears them.

Wei Qingwan was immediately ashamed and indignant, and hurriedly explained: "Ma'am, you misunderstood. I didn't mean anything else. It was my inappropriate words that caused a misunderstanding."

Xiumei in the corner: This nanny is a bit handsome.

Chapter 60 punishes Wei Qingwan for copying family rules

Qin Nanny said: "As a lady, you still have to be careful with your words and be cautious in your words and deeds in front of outsiders. If the second miss often makes such mistakes, then this old slave thinks that the second miss needs to read more books and learn some rules. ."

Wei Qingwan's face turned green and pale at what Mother Qin said, but she couldn't refute it.

He could only lower his head, and bid farewell to Wei Ruo in embarrassment: "Then I won't bother my sister and mother."

Placing down the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Wei Qingwan left in a hurry.

After Wei Qingwan left, Wei Ruo continued to explain the work in Chengnan to Nanny Qin. The workload was heavy and many people were involved.

In order not to miss Wei Ruo's instructions, I specially asked Wei Ruo for a pen and paper to write them down.

"That's all for the time being. Farming can't be generalized. It has to be adjusted to local conditions and time. The follow-up arrangements will change from time to time according to the weather and the conditions in the field." Wei Ruo said.

"I understand. I also grew up in a farm family when I was a child. From now on, if the eldest lady has any orders, just contact me at any time. If the development of the south of the city encounters problems and troubles, I will report to the eldest lady as soon as possible." Qin Mammy replied.

"Okay, then work hard, mammy."

Although Wei Ruo didn't like Chu Lan's participation in this matter, she still approved of the attitude of the nanny he sent.

After seeing off Mother Qin, Wei Ruo went to Cangyun Garden.

After entering the door, she saw Wei Qingwan was there, with her head down, talking to Yun Shi.

Seeing Wei Ruo enter the door, Wei Qingwan raised her head and looked at her with resentment in her eyes.

Mr. Yun had a smile on her face: "If Er is here, how is it? How did you talk with that nanny?"

Wei Ruo replied: "It was a good talk."

Yun Shi was delighted: "That's good, that's good. Don't lose courtesy."

Wei Ruo said again: "Speaking of etiquette, I have something to tell my mother."

Yun's puzzled: "What is it?"

Wei Ruo: "Today, I was talking with Nanny Qin. For some reason, sister Qingwan came to see me and interrupted my conversation with Nanny Qin."

Hearing this, Yun looked at Wei Qingwan suspiciously.

Wei Qingwan quickly explained: "It's my daughter's fault. My daughter made some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and wanted to give them to my sister."

Wei Ruo chuckled lightly: "If sister Qingwan wants to bring me sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, she can come at any time. Why do you choose to come when Nanny Qin is around?"

Wei Qingwan explained: "Sister, don't be angry. I was engrossed in making the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. After I was done, I wanted to let my sister taste it. I forgot that my sister was talking with Nanny Qin at this time."

"If you forgot, then you should have seen Mother Qin when you stepped into Tingsong Garden, why didn't you choose to avoid coming back later? Instead of interrupting our conversation abruptly?" Wei Ruo questioned .

"I... I didn't think too much about it, I thought I could just give it to the nanny to taste..." Wei Qingwan said aggrievedly.

"Sister Qingwan, you said in front of us that we can choose to believe you, but if you say it outside, it will make others think that our Wei family has no rules. Today, Mother Qin came to discuss business with me. The manor knew about it, and my mother specifically warned me, but you came out at this time, and those who didn't know thought my young lady of the Wei family was so impolite."

Wei Qingwan's eyes were full of tears when Wei Ruo said it, she looked at Yun Shi very aggrieved: "Mother, I didn't, I really didn't mean it..."

"Ruo'er, this matter shouldn't be so serious. Since Wanwan knows she's wrong, don't blame her anymore." The Yun family interceded for Wei Qingwan.

"Mother doesn't know something, but because of sister Qingwan's reckless behavior today, Mother Qin was very angry." Wei Ruo said.

When she heard that Nanny Qin was angry, Yun's expression also changed.

She looked at Wei Qingwan with a serious tone: "Wanwan, you are so confused!"

Wei Qingwan couldn't hold back anymore, tears fell down one by one.

Wei Ruo continued: "Mother also knows that Sister Qing Wan and Miss Qian's family had offended the nobleman last time in Fahua Temple. This time, because of the incident in the south of the city, the nobleman finally looked at our family differently. I left a bad impression and I'm worried..."

Wei Ruo made the matter serious on purpose.

Actually, Wei Ruo knew that Nanny Qin was unlikely to report such a trivial matter to Chu Lan, but it did not prevent her from using Chu Lan to scare Yun and Wei Qingwan.

Yun originally wanted to say that the matter was not serious, but after hearing what Wei Ruo had said, he felt that the matter was serious, so he straightened his face and said to Wei Qingwan with a serious expression:

"Wanwan, you really did something wrong this time, and I will punish you for copying the house rules ten times, as a warning!"

Hearing this, Wei Qingwan was completely dumbfounded.

Since she was a child, she has always been the most well-behaved and sensible child in the hearts of her parents. She has never been punished for anything, and only her younger brother has always been punished for copying books, but today it is her turn?

"Daughter knows..." Wei Qingwan lowered her head, her hands in her sleeves clenched into fists.

In Yingzhu Garden, Xiao Bei also said to Wei Jin, "Master, the person sent by the Seventh Prince has already left."

"What did you talk about with Ruo'er?" Wei Jin also asked.

"It's about the wasteland in the south of the city, and I didn't talk about other things." Xiaobeihui reported.

"Yes." Wei Jinyi paused for a moment, then asked again, "Is Ruo'er busy every day now?"

It has been a long time since Wei Ruo went to Yingzhuyuan last time.

"Yes, the eldest lady has been going out early and returning late these days, and she has to make up her mind to make decisions on many things." Xiaobei replied.

"Go to the next door and ask Xiumei to come over. There are some wild game in the small kitchen. You don't know how to cook it. Ask her to help you." Wei Jin also said.

"Alright young master, I'll go right away."

Xiaobei walked to Tingsongyuan enthusiastically.

On the road, Xiaobei thought in his heart that the pheasant and hare were brought to the young master by outsiders, not from the big kitchen.

The young master didn't like to eat game very much at first, but for some reason two days ago, someone outside got some for him.

And it has been two days since he was delivered, but the young master never let him move.

At first, he was puzzled, but now he understands, he really wants to wait for Miss Xiumei to do it when she is free.

Also, Miss Xiumei's cooking tastes better than his cooking, so the ingredients won't be wasted.

Arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Xiaobei stood at the gate and told Xiumei what Wei Jinyi had just told him.

"Then I have to ask my lady."

"Miss Xiumei, please ask, I will wait at the door."

"good."

Xiumei turned around and entered the house, and came back after a while.

"My young lady agreed, but the young lady said that she wanted me to make snacks for her this afternoon, but your young master called me, and her snacks were gone. Ask your young master, what are you going to give to my young lady?" dim sum."
