Chapter 141 The War Resurrection

But in the end, there was still a gap in my heart. Once touched, those emotions poured out.

"Madam, don't ask about this matter again." Wei Mingting couldn't give an answer that satisfied his wife, so he just ended the conversation abruptly.

Seeing Wei Mingting turn around and go to the study, Yun slumped sadly on the chair.

Yun didn't know what happened to him today, why he wanted to tear this hole up, it had been buried in his heart for many years.

Maybe it's because Jin Yi has become active recently, and Jin Yi's existence itself is constantly reminding her husband of the sweet past with another woman.

Wei Jinyi stayed at home for half a month this time, and after accompanying Wei Ruo to finish helping the victims, Wei Jinyi was about to leave again.

Wei Ruo went to see Wei Jinyi off, and brought Wei Ruo a whole load of things.

Xiaobei saw what Wei Ruo gave, and couldn't help saying: "Miss, you are really kind to our young master!"

"Take good care of your young master, don't let him get sick from the cold again. Although he has high martial arts skills and a good foundation, he can't handle the cold." Wei Ruo told Xiao Bei.

"Miss, don't worry, the younger one will take good care of the young master." Xiaobei replied confidently.

The last time the young master got sick was because the young master didn't care about his body too much. Now the situation is quite different, the young master has become very fond of his body.

In addition, the eldest lady gave them a lot of emergency medicines. If they really caught a cold, they would recover quickly after taking the medicine given by the eldest lady, and they would not drag the minor illness into a serious illness, so Xiaobei didn't worry at all.

Wei Ruo walked up to Wei Jinyi again, and told Wei Jinyi: "Second brother, take care of your health, do what you want to do, and write to me if you are free."

"Yeah." Wei Jin also said, "Ruo'er is the same, if you have anything to do, just follow what I taught you before."

Wei Ruo nodded, then watched Wei Jin also get on the horse.

Wei Jin also rode and looked at Wei Ruo for a long time, then turned and rode away.

This farewell, it should be Chinese New Year when we meet again.

Not long after Wei Jinyi left, the disaster-stricken Xingshan County was once again invaded by Japanese pirates.

It has only been two months since the last time the Japanese pirates were defeated, and they made a comeback so quickly.

Fortunately, Wei Mingting has never let down his vigilance, and the defenses everywhere have remained the same. Even disaster relief only dared to mobilize a small number of people to ensure that the original defense would not be shaken.

So this Japanese raid did not cause much damage to Xingshan County.

But from this moment on, the soldiers headed by Wei Mingting must renew their spirits and prepare for a new round of war at any time.

Wei Mingting suddenly became busy again, staying in the barracks for several days.

When the war broke out, the Yun family no longer felt jealous or sad. She only hoped that her husband would be safe and that Xingshan County would be safe.

Because of the busy family affairs, Yun taught Wei Ruo the work of teaching and supervising Wei Yilin, and asked Wei Ruo to take time every day to understand Wei Yilin's daily study situation.

Although Wei Ruo doesn't like Wei Yilin, he still needs to do superficial work.

So after returning from Xie Mansion today, Wei Ruo went to Aoju Garden.

Before entering the courtyard gate, I heard the crisp sound of whips coming from inside.

After entering the door, she saw the whip that Wei Ruo had given her before Wei Yilin made her envoy.

Wei Ruo stood by and watched for a while, and found that the stinky kid was doing quite well.

After shaking Wei Yilin for a while, he turned around and saw Wei Ruo standing at the gate of his courtyard.

He stopped, put away his whip, walked up to Wei Ruo, and asked with a straight face, "What are you doing here?"

Didn't she say that she doesn't like him and doesn't like to take care of him? What are you doing in his place again?

"Follow orders." Wei Ruo replied, "Don't worry about me, just keep whipping your whip. I'll leave after I've had enough time. We don't mess with rivers."

"I don't want to, I'm going to talk to you!" Wei Yilin's rebellious psychology came up, and if Wei Ruo didn't want to talk to him, he quit.

"Wei Yilin, if you are sick, please ask the doctor to come and see you."

"You're the one who's sick! I practice martial arts every day, and I'm in good health!" Wei Yilin rolled up his sleeves and showed Wei Ruo his little arms.

Not to mention, this little arm is indeed bigger than before, and the muscles on it look stiff.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Yilin said: "When I practice better, I will follow my father to fight the enemy!"

Wei Ruo didn't answer, but just glanced at him lightly.

Wei Yilin felt that he was underestimated by Wei Ruo: "Do you not believe me?"

"Otherwise? You, who are so frightened and have no brains after being caught by two Japanese pirates, still want to fight the Japanese pirates?"

"You! You are talking nonsense! Last time... the last time was an accident! And I didn't practice martial arts at that time! It's different now!" Wei Yilin regarded the last time he was arrested as his shame.

I didn't feel so ashamed before, but as he learned martial arts from his master and got along with his brothers, and learned from them that a good man is going to fight to kill the enemy and defend his family and country, he felt more and more that he was once The kidnapping of the two Japanese pirates is useless.

If only he started martial arts earlier! At that time, he can fight back and kill the two Japanese pirates for meritorious service!

After Wei Ruo finished speaking, seeing Wei Ruo still had a joking expression. He didn't believe that he could defeat the pirates at all, and he was so angry that his teeth itch.

Just as he was about to say a few harsh words, some things he heard outside recently sounded in his mind.

Thinking for a moment, Wei Yilin swallowed back what he said to Wei Ruo, and asked Wei Ruo: "I heard that you have been helping the poor people in Xingshan County recently."

"has a problem?"

Wei Yilin was a little depressed by Wei Ruo's attitude, and wanted to say something ugly, but after thinking of some things, he resisted the attack, and changed his words: "Huh, it seems that you saved my father and helped a lot of victims. Now, I will allow you to scold me a few words."

"You actually know right from wrong, good from evil?" Wei Ruo sneered.

"What do you mean? Since when did I not know good and evil? Before you did not do well and bullied my sister Wanwan, of course I would scold you; now that you have done well, I will bear with you for a while. Right from wrong!"

"It's thanks to you that I bully Wei Qingwan, and you're ashamed to say that you can tell right from wrong." Wei Ruo said disdainfully.

"Why didn't you bully Sister Wanwan, you wanted to **** my Sister Wanwan's status as the Wei patriarch's daughter when you came here, she treats you well, and you don't accept anything you give you, and you also snatched her place to study at Xie's house! Wei Yilin counted Wei Ruo's "crimes" in detail.

Chapter 142 Urgent shortage of medicinal materials

"Didn't the things you said I snatched from Wei Qingwan not belong to me?" Wei Ruo asked Wei Yilin back.

"Why is it originally yours... that is..." Wei Yilin's tone became weak.

"Why didn't it belong to me originally? If I'm not wrong, isn't it me who has lived in the captain's mansion for more than ten years? Isn't the identity of this eldest daughter mine from the beginning? At the moment I was born, Doesn't it belong to me?"

"I was the one who was going to Xie's house to study from the very beginning. You guys misunderstood, why? You misunderstood once and you can treat it as Wei Qingwan's original thing? How can there be such a reason in this world? ?" Wei Ruo asked back.

Wei Yilin was left speechless by Wei Ruo's rhetorical question.

He didn't think so much in the past, he just thought about the problem from the standpoint of sister Wanwan.

Because Sister Wanwan was living a good life, and because of Wei Qingruo's arrival, there are various problems.

Every time he sees sister Wanwan sad and sad, he gets very angry with Wei Qingruo, wishing he could kick Wei Qingruo out of their house immediately to make sister Wanwan happy.

But... Wei Qingwan's words don't seem to be unreasonable...

Wei Ruo didn't care about Wei Yilin's thoughts. Seeing that the time was almost up, he got up and left Aoju Garden, and went back to his own yard to do his own things.

After thinking about it, Wei Yilin saw that Wei Ruo had disappeared, and stomped his feet depressedly.

What, just left without saying a word!

Wei Ruo, who returned to Tingsongyuan, began to busy himself with his own affairs.

Now Wei Ruo is busy with her own business. After sending the seeds to the south of the city, she didn't worry too much. People from the government are watching. I didn't worry much about it.

Wei Ruo and Xiumei explained the follow-up planting situation of Xiaoyang Mountain. After a period of cold wave, the rapeseed, radish and mustard on Xiaoyang Mountain were somewhat affected, but fortunately there is still a remedy.

The weather has warmed up a little in the past few days, and the newly sown **** seedlings have grown, and they will be filled soon.

Moreover, the growth cycle of these vegetables is relatively short, as long as the sunshine is stable next, they can be harvested batch after batch soon.

After the rapeseed is harvested, those that can be sold directly are sold, and those that are more are made into pickles.

Mustard greens are the same, they are all pickled to prolong the storage time.

After some time, the weather will be colder and there will be no vegetables to grow. At that time, pickled vegetables and bacon will become an important source of food.

After a new batch of mushrooms came down, Wei Ruo planned to make a large batch of mushroom sauce.

Then there is the planting of medicinal materials with Xie Ying. At that time, Wei Ruo already knew that the weather would cool down early, so the varieties planted were all cold-resistant, but this time he managed it.

And the batch of medicinal materials that she and Xie Ying bought together has recently reached the time when they can be shipped. Recently, major pharmacies are relatively short of medicinal materials, and selling them to pharmacies should be able to earn a fortune.

In addition, Mrs. Yuan sent a message from Fucheng, saying that because of this cold wave, the original planting plan was disrupted. Madam Yuan hoped that Wei Ruo would go to Fucheng again to help the people of Fucheng plan the next one. to plant.

Mrs. Yuan only sent a letter to Wei Ruo alone first, and she will send the letter to the Captain's Mansion after Wei Ruo replied and agreed.

This is because Mrs. Yuan worried that after she sent the letter directly to Xiaowei's Mansion, Xiaowei's Mansion would send Wei Ruo directly to Fucheng regardless of Wei Ruo's wishes.

Madam Yuan is grateful to Wei Ruo, and she doesn't want to do things that force Wei Ruo.

Of course Wei Ruo was willing, so she wrote a reply letter to Mrs. Yuan and asked the person who delivered the letter to take her back to Fucheng to return.

She would go to Fucheng in a few days.

It just so happened that she could go to see the situation of her Zhuangzi in Fucheng.

For several days in succession, there was the sound of artillery fire from the east of the city, and people in the city were panicked.

At this moment, Wei Mingting's camp is located in an important military camp.

After listening to the military doctor's report, Wei Mingting frowned.

The medicinal materials are used up, which has resulted in many wounded soldiers lying in medical tents, unable to receive effective treatment.

Wei Mingting asked his subordinates: "When will the imperial court's medicinal materials delivery team arrive?"

The subordinate hangs his head and dare not answer.

Wei Mingting guessed the answer right away: "Is there no news yet?"

"Yes... because the war came to an end a while ago, and there is no clear news yet, so the subordinates don't know when they will get new supplies."

The reports that needed medicinal materials were handed up layer by layer, and they didn't know exactly which layer was stuck.

But I also want to know, because Xingshan County is not the only one that is troubled by Japanese pirates along the southeast coast. At that time, Xingshan County repelled the Japanese pirates, and the superiors relaxed their vigilance.

There is no news from above, and it is not known when the supplies of medicinal materials will be received, but the wounded soldiers cannot afford to wait.

Wei Mingting thought for a while and then ordered his subordinates: "You help me send two letters back to the city, one to Qianzhi County, and one to Xiaowei's Mansion."

Wei Mingting can only hope that Qianzhi County can help to find a way to see if he can purchase some emergency medicines at the pharmacy in the city.

As for writing to the Captain's Mansion, I didn't have much hope, but it's better than nothing. If the family can really help get some, it can save lives.

Although this may not solve the problem of the urgent shortage of medicinal materials, it can only be hoped for now.

Wei Mingting's letter was delivered to Yun soon.

Knowing that her husband was worried about medicinal materials, Yun wanted to help.

But now the medicine shops in the county are short of medicines, and they can't buy medicines at all.

Even if Xiaowei's mansion can get money, there is no place to buy medicine.

Wei Qingwan, who came back from Qian Zhi County's home, came to visit Yun's family.

After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Wei Qingwan had no way to help Yun's worries and problems, so she could only comfort Yun in a soft voice: "Mother, don't worry, this matter is not the fault of the school captain's house, and it's not the school captain's turn to worry about it." The government is worried."

"I also know it's not the fault of the Captain's Mansion, but your father is quite troubled about this. If it is because of the shortage of medicinal materials, the people who could have been rescued have lost their chance to survive."

Yun is still worried.

Wei Qingwan knew that she couldn't help, so she said: "The daughter helps the mother with the affairs of the house, and solves the mother's worries and problems."

Mr. Yun nodded, then called Madam Zhang over, and asked her to go out and inquire about other channels to buy medicinal materials in large quantities.

But after working for a long time, I still got nothing.

Because today's pharmacies are also short of medicinal materials, where there are surplus medicinal materials that can be supplied to others in large quantities.

Even those medicinal material merchants don't have any goods on hand. It is said that the production of medicinal materials is not good recently, and there are disasters everywhere, and medicines are needed everywhere.

Chapter 143 Then listen to you

The next day, Wei Ruo was about to go out, but just as he left the door of Tingsongyuan, he ran into Nanny Li.

"Why is Missy going out again?" Nanny Li asked with a smile.

This smile is not friendly at all to Wei Ruo.

"Do I still need to explain to you when I go out?" Wei Ruo asked back.

After that incident, Nanny Li has been keeping a low profile for a long time. Today, I don't know which tendon was wrong, and I came to her again to find something.

"Of course the young lady doesn't need to tell my servant if she wants to go out, but it's better to tell the madam." Nanny Li reminded.

"I've been out so many times, do I still need you to teach me how to do things?"

"Miss, don't be angry, this old slave is also kind. After all, it is not the same as before. Before, the lady was following orders and was busy with the affairs in the south of the city. There are people sent by the nobleman to help the eldest lady. But now it is different. , everyone knows that this matter has nothing to do with you."

Nurse Li smiled.

Wei Ruoke knew why she had been silent for so long and came to trouble her today. He felt that she had lost a big backer, so he didn't dare to continue to mess around at home.

Indeed, when Wei Ruo was in Fucheng last time, it was because of Chengnan that Wei Ruo dared to confront the Yun family.

After understanding Li Nanny's thoughts, Wei Ruo smiled brightly: "So you came to watch my jokes on behalf of your lady? You and your lady are quite good at choosing time, especially when father is not at home ."

It has been a few days since that incident happened, and Nanny Li was able to hold back until today to see her jokes, probably because her father was still home every day a few days ago, and her second brother was also there.

The second elder brother was away these few days, and my father almost never came home after the war broke out, let alone taking care of small things at home.

"Miss what are you talking about? If you say that, you are judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. This old slave cares about you, miss, and hopes that you can abide by the rules and respect your parents. There are no rules, after all, when Miss first entered the mansion, the rules were taught by the old slave, and the old slave must be responsible for your actions, miss." Li Nanny had a confident smile on her face.

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you." Wei Ruo chuckled, then turned to Xiumei and said, "Meimei, if there is another dog blocking the way, I will drive your lady away."

"Okay miss, no problem!" Xiumei stretched out her right hand and made a fist.

Nanny Li snorted lightly, then took two steps back to make way for Wei Ruo.

Watching Wei Ruo walk in front of her, the smile on Li Nanny's mouth was full of contempt.

When Wei Ruo walked to the door, he happened to meet Yunshi and Wei Qingwan about to go out.

The timing is just right.

Seeing Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan was surprised and said, "Is my sister going out too? Isn't the matter in the south of the city already over?"

Wei Ruoxiao, so that's the case, Nanny Li stopped her so ignorantly, not just to disgust her, but to let her meet Yun when she went out.

Yun Shi also looked at Wei Ruo: "That's right, Ruo'er, didn't you stop meddling in the south of the city?"

"I'm going to do other things." Wei Ruo replied.

"Any other things?" Yun frowned.

"It's also about farming." Wei Ruo replied.

Wen Yanyun frowned slightly and said, "Ruo'er, your father supported you in the south of the city before because you benefited the people and benefited the people, but now you don't care about the south of the city, so why bother with farming?" matter?"

Yun didn't quite agree with her daughter's approach.

"Does mother think it's bad for her daughter to care about farming?" Wei Ruo asked.

"It's not that it's wrong to care about farming, but that Mother thinks you have something more worthwhile to do now." Yun said.

I thought that the eldest daughter would be able to make great achievements, but it turned out that this would not work.

Although I don't know whether it was His Royal Highness who suppressed this matter or the emperor's intention, it all shows that clan women are not allowed to worry about farming after all.

So Yun hoped that her daughter would devote more of her mind and energy to other aspects in the future, so as to be a more decent lady.

"What if my daughter insists on this?" Wei Ruo asked rhetorically.

Yun sighed: "If you insist on doing this, I can't stop you, because your father said that you are allowed to do what you want. It's just that mother wants you to know that mother's consideration is for your own good, and you will be very happy right away." It's four, it's about to reach Jiji's age, and I'll start to look after you, I really want you to marry a decent family rather than find a farmer's wife."

Although Yun Shi disapproved in her heart, she didn't want to do things against her husband's wishes. She didn't want to make him unhappy.

Wei Qingwan persuaded Wei Ruo from the side: "Sister, mother cares about you, and everything she says is for your sake. Don't hurt mother's heart. Mother has been very tired and hard recently."

Yun's glanced at Wei Qingwan beside her, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, compared to Ruo'er, Wanwan is really much more considerate, she can understand her difficulty, understand her good intentions, and come here whenever she is free Do things for her.

Wei Ruo smiled: "Really, then I will obey my mother and not go out today."

Wei Ruo's sudden change of mind caused both Yun and Wei Qingwan to look surprised.

"Ruo'er, are you willing to listen to my mother?" Yun asked.

"Well, I listened to my mother, and I won't go out today to do something that doesn't fit the status of a lady like farming." Wei Ruo replied, "But I need to trouble my mother to explain it to the servants of the magistrate's family."

What's the meaning?

A servant of the magistrate's family?

Yun Shi was puzzled, but Wei Qingwan was puzzled.

Could it be that Wei Ruo has something to do with the magistrate's wife when he goes out today?

But isn't Mrs. Zhifu far away in Fucheng?

At this moment, a two-wheeled carriage came to the gate of the Captain's Mansion. After stopping, a well-dressed woman came up. Her clothes were expensive, but she was dressed like a maid. He is a servant of a noble family.

Seeing Yun and the others, the two stepped forward to salute.

"I met Mrs. Wei, Miss Wei, and Miss Wei."

"You are..." Yun felt that this maid looked familiar.

"Returning to Madam, we are servants of the prefect's mansion, and we are ordered by my wife to come to pick up Miss Wei." The servant girl replied.

Madam Yuan sent someone to pick up Wei Ruo? Yun was very surprised.

Looking at it this way, she did see the maid in front of her at the garden party, and she was someone close to Mrs. Yuan!

When Mrs. Yun was surprised, Wei Ruo replied to Mrs. Yuan's personal servant girl: "I'm sorry, my sister, my mother doesn't allow me to be busy with farming all day long, so I can't help my wife anymore, please go back Report back to Madam."

Chapter 144 is a misunderstanding

Yun was startled when he heard that, and then he realized that Wei Ruo was invited by Mrs. Yuan to go out today.

Wei Qingwan's expression also changed again and again, staring at Mrs. Yuan's maid, as if she wanted to find evidence to prove that this person was not from the Yuan family.

Qingyi is Madam Yuan's personal servant girl, and she knows Madam Yuan's attitude towards Wei Ruo very well.

So upon hearing this, Qingyi said to Yun: "Madam Wei, my wife likes Miss Wei very much, and admires what Miss Wei has done for the people of Xingshan County. This time my wife came to Xingshan County. The only one that comes to mind is Miss Wei, please Madam Wei to allow Miss Wei to have a brief talk with my wife."

Yun who came back to his senses hurriedly replied: "No, Ruo'er heard it wrong, I was just telling my family Ruo'er to pay more attention, maybe some wording was not used well, making Ruo'er misunderstand that I don't like her Do things related to farming."

Qingyi asked Wei Ruo: "Is that so, Miss Wei?"

Wei Ruo didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Yunshi and Wei Qingwan.

She kept silent, which made Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan uncontrollably nervous.

After a while, Wei Ruocai said slowly, "Maybe I misunderstood."

Wearing this, Yun breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't want to offend Mrs. Yuan, and this Mrs. Yuan was something their school captain's mansion could never afford to offend!

Qing Yi said: "That's the best, please let Miss Wei get on the bus, my wife is waiting for you at Yahe Shanju."

"Yes." Wei Ruo led Xiumei onto the horse, and before entering the carriage, Wei Ruo looked back at Wei Qingwan.

After Wei Qingwan felt Wei Ruo's gaze on her, she didn't know whether it was a guilty conscience or some other reason, so she immediately lowered her head and avoided Wei Ruo's sight.

Then Yuan's carriage drove away, leaving Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan still at the door.

Yun's mood is a little complicated.

Wei Qingwan bit her lips tightly with an ugly expression.

She didn't know why Wei Qingruo's luck was so good. Without the nobleman of the Seventh Prince, there was another Mrs. Yuan.

Wei Ruo was taken to Yahe Shanju by the servants of Yuan's family, which is a secluded tea shop in Xingshan County.

Yahe Shanju is a rare and elegant shop in the remote and barren Xingshan County.

Located in Xiaozhu at the foot of the mountain, there are several Eight Immortals tables in the courtyard, and the shop provides snacks and tea.

Mrs. Yuan is waiting here for Wei Ruo.

Because of her presence, Yahe Shanju no longer receives other guests, and there are guards guarding the front and back.

When Wei Ruo saw Madam Yuan, Madam Yuan also saw her, and waved to Wei Ruo with a smile on her face.

"Why did Madam come here in person this time?" After sitting down, Wei Ruo asked the question in his heart.

Wei Ruo was a little surprised that Mrs. Yuan would come to Xingshan County. She thought that after the last letter exchange, Mrs. Yuan would send someone to Xiaowei's Mansion to deliver a letter, and then pick her up to Fucheng.

But I didn't want her to come in person.

"It's not thanks to you, my benefactor. Your prescription really works. After using it for a while, I look better and feel more energetic. In the past six months, I haven't moved much. Recently, my health has not recovered. So I wanted to come out and walk around. I just happened to come to pick you up in person, and I will talk to you on the way, and I have company."

Today's Mrs. Yuan's complexion is obviously much better than the last time we met, and her brows and eyes are more energetic.

"The effect is the best after the madam takes it. I can take this prescription for another two months. I will write a new prescription for the madam. After taking the new prescription for another three months, it will probably be all right. , don't take it after you recover, and the Qi and blood platform network is not good for your health." Wei Ruo said.

"Benefactor, I don't know how to thank you when you say that." Madam Yuan was very happy and grateful.

"Ma'am, it's better not to call me benefactor, just call me by my name." Wei Ruo is not used to being called benefactor.

"Then I will call you Sister Ruoer from now on." Madam Yuan said after thinking.

Wei Ruo nodded.

Following Mrs. Yuan, she picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Wei Ruo: "After I came to Xingshan County, I heard your name several times. You opened up wasteland in the south of the city and rescued disasters. You have won the hearts of the people."

After hearing this, Mrs. Yuan fell in love with Wei Ruo even more.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Yuan couldn't help feeling sorry: "It's a pity that you are born as a daughter. If you are a man, having such a reputation will be of great help to your future official career."

Wei Ruo smiled, of course she knew that in this world, women are much more difficult than men.

If she is a man, even if she doesn't pass the exam, she can still establish her own business in the outside world. Even if she is a businessman with a low social status, she can feel at ease.

"I've heard about you in the south of the city." Mrs. Yuan said.

"Does Madam know the reason?" Wei Ruo asked.

Mrs. Yuan shook her head: "I'm not too clear about the reason, but I can think about it on the bright side. If it's inconvenient to reward you based on your merits due to your status as a daughter-in-law of your clan, then in the future when you marry and become a woman, you will have your own way." Grace; if you lost a share of credit because someone concealed it, maybe you can make it up in the future."

Madam Yuan said this to some extent to comfort Wei Ruo. Wei Ruo was kind to her, and she naturally didn't want Wei Ruo to be sad, disappointed or even depressed because of this incident.

Wei Ruo didn't think too much about it: "I don't plan to think too much about this matter. If I think about it too much, it will be a waste of time. It was a waste of my energy and time. When I don't have the ability to influence the development of things, I still put it Forget it first."

Madam Yuan praised: "Sister Ruoer thinks so, it's the best."

Wei Ruo changed the topic: "Ma'am, let's talk about business. Didn't Madam come here to provide food for the people in Fucheng?"

Mrs. Yuan said: "That's true, but you just need to give me advice. I'll let someone prepare what I need. Don't tire yourself out. I haven't repaid your kindness to me. If you are tired, I will be guilty."

"Okay." Wei Ruo is not polite to Mrs. Yuan in this matter, she has her own business to do, and she has to go to her own villa after going to Fucheng.

Wei Ruo and Mrs. Yuan stayed in Yahe Shanju for most of the day, and they talked very happily. Wei Ruo provided Madam Yuan with some highly feasible suggestions, and Madam Yuan also planned to provide help for Wei Ruo's future development in Fucheng.

Then Mrs. Yuan sent Qingyi to send Wei Ruo back to Xiaowei's Mansion.

As soon as Wei Ruo entered the gate of Xiaowei's Mansion, he was invited to Cangyun Garden by the people sent by the Yun family to guard Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo smiled lightly and followed.

In Cangyun Garden, the Yun family has been waiting for Wei Ruo to come back and ask her about things.

As soon as Wei Ruo just entered, Yun asked, "Ruoer, have you been in touch with Mrs. Yuan?"

Chapter 145 Wei Qingwan is going to be unhappy

"Not all the time, I just contacted again recently." Wei Ruo replied indifferently.

"What did Mrs. Yuan ask you for?" Yun asked again.

"Didn't you tell your mother before going out today? It's about farming."

"Why does Mrs. Yuan care so much about farming?" Yun asked again.

"Doesn't mother really know? The magistrate Yuan wants to have a good political performance, and the people must be rich and healthy, and the government is sound and harmonious." Wei Ruo replied.

It's not that the Yun family didn't expect this, but it was a little surprising that Mrs. Yuan would find her daughter for this matter.

Looking at Wei Ruo in front of her, Yun's thoughts were complicated. She sighed a long time and said, "Ruo'er, you are very happy to be appreciated by Mrs. Yuan again as your mother, but what your mother said to you in the morning is also out of Sincerely. Mother really thinks that being a lady of the family and finding a good man to marry in the future is your destination."

Yun's education and growth experience since she was a child made her always feel that a good marriage is a good marriage for a woman, and that a husband and a child are the proper destination for a woman.

"This is the path I chose. I will bear all the consequences in the future. I also ask my mother not to stop me." Wei Ruo was firm.

Yun couldn't help sighing again: "You are really similar to your father, and your father also supports you in doing these things."

Sometimes Yun doesn't understand her husband very well.

But as a wife, she knows that she should support her husband and regard her husband as heaven.

Wei Ruodao: "Since this is the case, mother should not advise me. I am willing to take this path, and I will bear any consequences by myself."

Yun Shi nodded: "I can't stop you, I want to stop you again, even if you go and sue your father, I won't do anything."

Because of her husband's attitude, the only thing Yun can do to Wei Ruo is to persuade her.

Especially now that the war is ahead, how can Yun dare to make troubles at home to distract her husband from worrying?

Immediately afterwards, Yun said: "Since you are deeply loved by Mrs. Yuan now, if you have the opportunity, I will help your sister say a few more good things."

Last time, Wei Qingwan wanted Wei Ruo to say something nice to her, but Wei Ruo prevaricated it by citing a headache.

This time Mrs. Yuan reappeared, and Yun Shi also saw the opportunity, so he brought up the old matter again.

"If I say I don't want to, will my mother reprimand me for being ruthless to my sisters?" Wei Ruo asked.

Yun frowned, and said in a heavy tone: "It was indeed Wanwan's fault that day, and it's not right for my mother to blame you that day."

After many days, Yun finally admitted that he was wrong that day.

Immediately afterwards, Yun said: "But Ruo'er, we are a family, we are both honored and humiliated! Your sister's reputation is damaged, and it is of no benefit to you. You have to understand this truth."

Wei Ruo didn't speak, but looked at Yun's indifferently.

Yun Shi said again: "Your sister has also been punished. I put her in confinement and punished her monthly, and her reputation in Fucheng is not very good. Isn't all this enough to calm you down?"

If Wei Qingwan calmed down after learning these lessons, Wei Ruo might calm down, but this is obviously not the case, and the performance she performed before going out today is the best proof.

"I need to go back and think about it." Wei Ruo replied, neither agreeing nor directly refusing.

Yun Shi is not very satisfied with Wei Ruo's answer, but it is not good to push Wei Ruo too hard, after all, she has something to ask for, and it is not good for everyone to push her into a hurry.

"That's all, you go back and think about it carefully, as a mother, you have to think about the lack of medicinal materials in your father's military camp." Yun waved his hand and pushed Wei Ruo away.

Seeing that the Yun family had nothing to say to him, Wei Ruo went back to Songyuan on the grounds that he still had something to deal with.

After returning to Tingsongyuan, Wei Ruo began to write letters.

Xiumei was pouring tea for Wei Ruo to grind, and then caught a glimpse of Wei Ruo mentioning the He family in the letter.

"Miss, you asked someone to deliver the letter to the He family? What's the reason?" Xiumei asked in surprise.

Their young lady had almost no contact with the He family. Ever since they left the He family at the age of three and were sent to the countryside, they had never seen anyone from the He family except for the monthly money they sent each month.

"Let them come to Wei Mansion as guests." Wei Ruo replied.

"What? Miss, are you confused? Why do you want them to come to Wei Mansion as guests?" Although Xiumei hadn't met the He family much, she didn't have a good impression of the He family at all.

They left the young lady in the countryside for so many years, just because the fortune teller said that the young lady named Rick's parents, it's just too ridiculous!

"Don't worry, your lady is not confused. I won't be at home for a while, so they won't bother me if you come here." Wei Ruo said.

"Miss, you are not at the house, so what do you ask them to do?" Xiumei still didn't quite understand.

"Find something for Wei Qingwan to do. If she finds me unhappy every day, then I can't make her too happy." Wei Ruo said.

Xiumei seems to understand a little bit.

"Then can the He family make Miss Second unhappy?" Xiumei asked curiously.

Although Xiumei was originally a maid bought by the He family, she was only five years old when she was bought by the He family, and she had hardly stayed in the He family, and she didn't know much about the He family.

Wei Ruo smiled brightly: "Yes."

Xiumei thought for a while, and she had another question: "But Miss, Xingshan County is still fighting, and the people in the city are panicking. Will the He family be willing to come?"

"Usually it is said that the Wei Mansion invited them, but they still don't believe it. It's just like this now that they can only believe it when they are invited. The reason I used was to ask them to bring medicinal materials over, and I told them that if they could send them to Xingshan County, which is in urgent need Herbal medicine is a great achievement." Wei Ruo explained.

The He family is in business. Although the main project is not the trading of medicinal materials, they also do some dabbling. Asking them to send medicinal materials is both an excuse and a real urgent need for Xingshan County.

The business of the He family has not been going well these years, because they don't have a solid background, so they have always wanted to get a little relationship with the officials.

At first they thought they could gain some relationship with the Wei family by taking advantage of the wrong child, but it was a pity that when the Wei family came to the door, they only gave them some money, but did not plan to have any contact with them.

Now that she has released the bait, it is up to the He family whether to bite or not.

Even if the He family doesn't take the bait, Wei Ruo has nothing to lose, she just wrote a letter.

Xiu Mei nodded: "Miss, you have a good idea, so that if they really send the medicinal materials here, even if they can't make Miss Er unhappy, it can also solve the urgent need of Xingshan County!"

Wei Ruo: "That's the truth."

Xiumei: "Then I hope that the He family can find the medicinal materials after receiving the letter, and then rush to the Captain's Mansion!"

Chapter 146 Wei Ruo delivers medicine

However, there is no certain amount of medicinal materials on the He family's side, and according to Yun's just now, there should be an urgent shortage of medicinal materials in the barracks.

Wei Ruo decided to go to Xie Ying to talk to Xie Ying early in the morning. The medicinal materials they purchased earlier should be able to play a role.

It has been two days, and the medicinal materials in the barracks still haven't been replenished. In the past two days, the medicinal materials forcibly confiscated from the pharmacy have survived, but if there is no more medicinal materials tomorrow, they will really run out of ammunition and food. .

If the wounded cannot be treated, not only will the lives of the wounded not be guaranteed, but the morale of the entire army will also be greatly affected. If the battle cannot end in a short time, it will definitely be very unfavorable to their side of.

Wei Mingting was full of worries, he called all his subordinates to his camp to discuss the next layout.

"Everyone, I think you all know the current situation. This time the Japanese pirates counterattacked. We have used up half of our bows and arrows, but we have not been able to drive them back. This situation is very important to us. Unfavorable, I wonder what the soldiers are thinking now?"

Wei Mingting asked the deputy general manager Qian and all the general managers and deputy general managers for their opinions.

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere in the tent was oppressive.

Xu Zhengyong stood in the third row. After thinking for a long time, he stood up firmly.

"Master Qian, I don't think we can sit still and wait for death, we should switch from defense to offense!"

"Does Deputy Commander Xu have any good specific combat plans?" Wei Mingting asked.

"I am willing to personally lead a small group of troops, starting from the south of the city, crossing the Moon Moon Mountain in the southeast, and raiding the enemy's flank!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at him in surprise.

This is a risky move. If it's right, it's okay, but if it's wrong, then Xu Zhengyong will never return.

In fact, Wei Mingting also thought about this method, but this method is too risky, and someone needs to stand up as the vanguard of this raid.

What he didn't expect was that Xu Zhengyong not only thought of it, but was more willing to lead the team himself and take risks.

Wei Mingting said to Xu Zhengyong: "Wangyue Mountain is dangerous. If you want to climb over the mountain, it is very dangerous, especially now that the weather is cold, and if you are discovered by the enemy, you will be in a lonely and helpless position. Then the situation will be very dangerous."

Xu Zhengyong replied: "Master Qian, now we have no supplies of medicinal materials, no other military reinforcements, and the Japanese pirates are more ferocious than before. All these situations are not good for us! If we continue to defend like this, as the number of injured people continues to increase Increase, our morale will become weaker and weaker, and the morale of the army will become more and more scattered. It will be too late to fight back! If we can win a chance for everyone, my soldiers and I are willing to take this risk! "

Xu Zhengyong has a firm attitude and regards death as home.

The soldiers who heard that the tents were full were silent. They knew that what Xu Zhengyong said was right, and if they continued to guard like this, it would really make their situation worse!

Wei Mingting naturally knew that what Xu Zhengyong said was the truth, and after thinking for a while, he agreed to Xu Zhengyong's proposal: "Vice Commander Xu, I agree with your plan to lead your subordinates to take a detour from the south of the city to surprise the enemy. Please also protect yourself, we Hope to see you all come back safe and sound!"

"The last general will fulfill his mission!"

Xu Zhengyong knew the danger of his move, but he still had no hesitation.

Wei Mingting was deeply moved, and the other soldiers were also infected by Xu Zhengyong's bravery, and their fighting spirit was ignited again.

So Wei Mingting discussed the overall layout with everyone, and the rest of the people needed to cooperate with Xu Zhengyong's team to launch a large-scale counterattack.

This process does not allow a little mistake, otherwise not only Xu Zhengyong and his team are in danger, but everyone else is also in danger.

Once they fail, Xingshan County behind them will fall.

Everyone discussed from morning to afternoon before finalizing the plan.

After the discussion was over and everyone dispersed, Wei Mingting rubbed his head and sighed slightly in his heart.

Although the method proposed by Vice President Xu may be a way to break the situation, the wounded soldiers still have not been healed, and the morale of the army is still slack. At this time, this battle is more powerful than when it was more than two months ago. Cut it by at least 30%.

At that time, the Seventh Prince was there, there were reinforcements, and there were new types of gods to help in the battle. The morale of the army was stable, and the morale was soaring.

And now it's…

Wei Mingting was worrying when a small soldier came to report: "My lord, your daughter is begging to see you outside the barracks."

Hearing the words, Wei Mingting replied: "The military barracks is an important place, and idlers are not allowed to enter. You go and tell her to let her go home."

Wei Mingting doesn't know which daughter came looking for him, but no matter who it is, military regulations are no joke.

"My lord, Ling Qianjin said that she didn't come here for private matters, she came for medicinal materials, and she also brought two carts of things, saying that they were medicinal materials." Xiaobing said.

"Medical materials? Then quickly bring her in!" Wei Mingting hurriedly said.

"yes!"

Xiaobing led the order to the barracks, and invited Wei Ruo who was outside the barracks.

The two carts of medicinal materials brought by Wei Ruo could not enter yet, so they were parked outside and guarded by soldiers, and they could not enter the barracks until they were inspected and there were no problems.

Wei Ruo was taken to Wei Mingting's camp located in the center of the camp.

Seeing Wei Ruo, Wei Mingting was not in the mood to greet his daughter, and asked directly: "Ruoer, did you bring the medicinal materials?"

Wei Ruo nodded: "I heard that there is a shortage of medicinal materials in the army, so I sent them to my father."

"Where did you get the medicinal materials?" Wei Mingting asked in surprise.

How did Ruoer get the medicinal materials that he and Qian Zhixian tried their best to get?

"To tell you the truth, my father and I hoarded this together with Miss Xie's family a while ago." Wei Ruo replied.

"You and Miss Xie's family?" Wei Mingting was even more surprised.

"Miss Xie and I came up with a whim when we were studying and leisure. We wanted to make a living to test some of the knowledge and principles that Mr. taught us, so I suggested medicinal materials, so the two of us took a piece of land in the south of the city and planted some. Medicinal materials, at the same time, I took advantage of the harvest and bought a lot of medicinal materials, but I didn't expect it to come in handy." Wei Ruo replied.

When Wei Ruo and Xie Ying were hoarding medicinal materials, the weather was still not cold, and there were no weather disasters in various places, and the medicinal materials were easy to buy and transport.

"How much do you stockpile?" Wei Mingting asked.

"I brought two trucks over today, outside the camp. The remaining medicinal materials in the warehouse can probably fill another two trucks." Wei Ruo replied.

"Okay, okay, this is really great! It can be considered that you have hit the right spot!" Wei Mingting couldn't help but repeatedly praised.

After saying all this, Wei Mingting carefully looked at the daughter in front of him...

Chapter 147 Going to Fucheng to do business

The small face is fair and the eyes are clear.

In a trance, Wei Mingting couldn't help but think about the playful, cute and lively appearance of his daughter when she was young.

It seemed that a little girl with a sweet smile appeared in front of her and ran towards her with a smile, shouting "Daddy" incessantly.

Wanwan was also white and cute when she was a child, but every time she saw him she was a little timid and cautious, and she even called her daddy in a small voice.

If it was Ruo'er, she wouldn't be afraid of him, and would act like a baby with him openly.

It's a pity that fate tricked people, he missed these after all.

"Father?" Wei Ruo found that Wei Mingting was fascinated by watching him.

Wei Mingting recovered and realized his gaffe.

"Ruoer, I don't know how to thank you for being a father." Wei Mingting wandered warmly in his heart

"Father doesn't need to thank me for this matter. Yingying and I sent these medicinal materials not only for my father, but also for the whole army and the people." Wei Ruo replied.

It really doesn't matter whether Mr. Qian is Wei Mingting or anyone else, as long as he is not a treacherous villain, Wei Ruo and Xie Ying will give this medicinal material today.

"No matter what, the Anti-Japanese Army owes you and Miss Xie a debt, the wounded soldiers owe you a debt, and the father also owes you a favor." Wei Mingting said in a solemn tone.

"Father, let's talk about these things after the war is over. I know you are still busy, so I won't bother you for now. After Yingying and I sort out some of the remaining medicinal materials, I will send them to you." Wei Ruo said.

"Okay, be careful on the way back."

Wei Mingting exhorted, and then reluctantly watched Wei Ruo walk out of his tent.

After Wei Ruo gave the medicinal materials to the Anti-Japanese Army, he didn't continue to manage the affairs of Xingshan County, and set off to Fucheng with Mrs. Yuan.

After arriving in Fucheng, Wei Ruo lived in Tianqin Garden under the arrangement of Mrs. Yuan.

After arriving here, Wei Ruo has no restraint, and no longer needs to come here cautiously like when he was in Xiaowei's mansion.

Early the next morning after staying here, Wei Ruo took Xiumei to Zhuangzi.

Wei Ruo met Xu Zhushan and Zhuangzi's steward.

The person in charge is a man in his forties, surnamed Yu, with a hunchback figure and thin face, but he looks honest and responsible.

Uncle Xu has been here for a few days, and the person in charge didn't rely on Uncle Xu to be honest and conceal something from him, but instead accompanied him to do business respectfully.

Xu Zhushan has figured out and smoothed out the situation on Zhuangzi during this period of time.

Wei Ruo called the two to him and asked about the situation of other lands near them.

Then Wei Ruo ordered: "Well, you can help me find out that there are lands for sale and mortgages nearby, and we will take them all."

"Miss, are you going to take over a large area of land?" Manager Yu was a little surprised.

"Well, take over the land." Wei Ruo was firm.

"But miss, the weather has been bad recently, and the grain harvests in various places are in short supply. I'm afraid it's... not suitable for harvesting here." Manager Yu reminded.

"It's okay, as long as the price is right, we'll just collect it." Wei Ruo naturally knew this, but she had already made up her mind to do so.

Now that grain production is decreasing, it is the time when land prices are low. Wei Ruo plans to take advantage of this opportunity to buy more land and expand the industry.

And Wei Ruo happened to have the one hundred taels of gold in his hand, and had this capital to buy land.

"Then... What about manpower? Miss, if we buy the land, we will definitely need more manpower." Manager Yu asked again.

Now these people on the Zhuangzi are only enough to manage the fields on their Zhuangzi. If there is too much land, there will be not enough manpower.

"Employ those poor peasants who lost their land, refugees." Wei Ruo said.

"Hire poor peasants and refugees?" The manager was a little surprised.

The poor peasants are fine, but the refugees are a little surprised.

Guan Yu thought about it for a while, and then said to Wei Ruo: "Miss, the refugees live in no fixed place, it is difficult to find out their details, it is not easy to manage, and it is easy to make troubles..."

"I know that this will take more energy, and the hidden dangers will be greater than only hiring local residents who know the basics, but I am willing to make such an attempt."

Of course, Wei Ruo thought about inviting him out. She must have thought about it if she was willing to do so. Even though it would be relatively difficult to manage and prone to some mistakes, she didn't want to kill all of them with one shot just because she was afraid of such troubles. refugees.

Because these people are the most vulnerable and most in need of a breadwinner.

"Okay, I'll go to Zhang Luo to arrange it." Manager Yu immediately started to do it.

Wei Ruo and Xiumei followed Xu Zhushan to inspect the situation in the Zhuangzi. The land that Madam Yuan gave to the Zhuangzi was indeed better than the average ones, and the soil was fertile. Now that the renovation of the soil has been completed, it will be possible to plant the crops brought by Wei Ruo soon. New wheat has been planted.

Regarding the sowing of wheat at this time, the long-term laborers on the village have many opinions. They think that the wheat planted at this time is probably difficult to grow well.

Although they didn't believe it in their hearts, they still did what the stewards told them to do.

Wei Ruo has no objection to this. After all, it is indeed past the normal wheat sowing time. It is natural for them to be worried, as long as they can do their jobs well.

Wei Ruo worked on Zhuangzi for two days, arranged all the things that should be arranged, and then took Wei Ruo to wander around Fucheng Street.

It seems to be wandering, but it is actually picking the right store.

Originally opened a shop in Fucheng, a foreigner with no background like her may not be able to do it even if she has money, but she has the backing of Mrs. Yuan, so this trouble is avoided.

Although the sky is high here and the emperor is far away, the people in Xiaowei's Mansion will not know, but just to be careful, Wei Ruo wears a veiled hat when going out.

After all, as a clan daughter, it is reasonable to be concerned about farming, but it is unreasonable to open a shop on the street.

The two walked around for two days, and Wei Ruo finally took a fancy to two side-by-side shops near Zuixianju.

The price of the store is not cheap, but Wei Ruo thinks that the location is suitable and worthy of the price.

Wei Ruo loves money, but as long as it's worth the money, she will spend it generously, and she doesn't want her children to be tied to wolves.

One of them, Wei Ruo, plans to open another branch of Sibaozhai.

Studies such as the Four Treasures of the Study must be sold in places where the nobles gather and there are many students, and the prefecture must be better than the county.

Only in this way, she had to find a way to expand the scale of her papermaking workshop.

The other three items of the Four Treasures of the Study are not produced by Wei Ruo's own workshop, but purchased by other shops that Wei Ruo contacted, and the quantity is sufficient; only this paper is produced by himself, and the output is limited.

So Sibaozhai has always sold paper in limited quantities, and sold it with other products as much as possible, in order to increase sales.

Chapter 148 Lo-Mei Shop

As for the other shop, Wei Ruo plans to open a lo-mei shop.

Wei Ruo has observed that there are no good delis nearby, and people in Fucheng have a certain pursuit of food. As long as the taste is good and the price is higher, Han Hao can sell it.

Xiumei asked Wei Ruo: "Miss, you don't plan to let me be in charge of the lo mei shop, do you?"

Immediately afterwards, Xiumei muttered: "Miss, I would be happy to be the proprietress, but if I become the boss, who will take care of you? Miss, I can't leave you. If I leave you, what will you do if you are bullied? I don't worry." No more!"

"I can't bear to let you be the head of the lo-mei shop, but at the beginning we had to help you. After we have cultivated good people, we only need to master the recipe of the lo-mei. The work of making lo-mei is naturally Leave it to the guys to do it."

The key to a good lo-mei lies in the stew. A good stew is inseparable from a good sauce. Wei Ruo has a good sauce, good seasonings, and a good lo-mei recipe.

"That's good, it's okay to be busy for a while, as long as you don't keep me in the store, miss!"

Rather than being a proprietress, Xiumei wants to be by Wei Ruo's side and take care of her.

"I'm not willing, I don't want to let you go if you want to go! Unless you get married in the future, I won't allow you to go anywhere else!" Wei Ruo said.

"Who is going to get married? I don't want to marry! I will stay with Miss for the rest of my life!"

"Okay, okay, as long as you still think this way in the future, then we two will be bachelors for the rest of our lives." Wei Ruo laughed.

Then Wei Ruo took Xiumei back to the carriage: "Let's go, get ready, we're busy."

The two returned to Tianqin Garden together, and then Wei Ruo arranged the matter.

It was still the same as before, Wei Ruo didn't personally take care of the business of buying and selling shops and preparing for the opening of the shops, but left it all to Xu Zhushan.

Then Wei Ruo and Xiumei borrowed kitchen envoys from the cook in Tianqin Garden.

The cook in Tianqin Garden didn't dare to use it for Wei Ruo at first, not because she was afraid that she would use it badly, but because they dared not neglect Wei Ruo's wife's distinguished guest.

If the wife knows that the guests cook their own food and their kitchen has not fulfilled their responsibilities, they will not be able to go around eating.

The kitchen didn't agree until Wei Ruo explained that they had something to do, not cooking for themselves.

The kitchen in Tianqin Garden is very large, several times larger than the kitchen in Xiaowei's Mansion, and the various kitchen utensils and seasonings in it are much more complete than the kitchen in Xiaowei's Mansion.

This made Wei Ruo and Xiumei overjoyed, saving them the trouble of going outside to buy various seasonings.

So the two plunged into the kitchen and began to study lo-mei.

After two days of busy work, Wei Ruo and Xiumei prepared a marinade that satisfied both of them.

"Miss, use this marinade to cook lo mei, it will definitely sell well!" Xiumei said confidently.

"Let's marinate some pig ears and pig tails first." Wei Ruo said.

People in this area don't eat much like pig intestines and belly, but they still eat pig heads and tails.

These parts are relatively cheap, the cost is low, and the taste of these parts is not worse than other parts when they are marinated.

"Yeah!" Xiumei entered the kitchen with an excited look on her face, carrying a clay pot with prepared marinade.

It must take enough time to make lo-mei, and it will definitely not work if the time is short, so simmer it at night and wait until the next morning to fill it out, so that it will be tasty enough.

Wei Ruo first took some of the cooked lo mei to the cooks and maids in the kitchen. They had been watching them for several days, always curious about what their master and servant were doing.

"It smells so good! Miss Wei, what is yours? How do you make it so delicious?"

The taste buds of the chef who has been cooking for a lifetime were overwhelmed by the cut pig ears.

"This is a pig's ear." Wei Ruo replied.

"Pig ears? Why are pig ears so delicious? They are fragrant and crispy. They have both a meaty aroma and a crispy taste that meat doesn't have. The taste is rich and the aftertaste is endless." The cook commented.

In Tianqin Garden's chef's impression, pig's ears are not a high-end ingredient, and the taste is always unsatisfactory, but the meat she just ate was even more fragrant than the meat she usually ate.

"There are still some pig tails here, you can eat them too."

Wei Ruo let everyone try the pig tail again, which also received unanimous praise.

Then Wei Ruo packed some pig ears and pig tails in a food box, and asked Xiumei to send them to Mrs. Yuan in the prefect's mansion.

After an hour, Xiumei came back and said to Wei Ruo excitedly: "Miss, Mrs. Yuan said that the lo mei we made is delicious, and she wants to ask us for some more for entertaining guests tomorrow."

"Then prepare more, this is a good opportunity for publicity." Wei Ruo said.

"Well, I'm going to do it now!" Xiumei was full of enthusiasm and excitement.

This time Xiumei marinated two more things, pig's trotters and pig's tongue. Then the next morning, I personally sent it to the magistrate's mansion to Mrs. Yuan.

That night, Mrs. Yuan asked her maid to bring a message to Wei Ruo, saying that the two ladies she hosted today liked their lo mei very much, and asked her where she could buy it. The news of a Xuji lo-mei restaurant told the other party, and the other party said that they must buy more when it opens.

The lo mei shop has not officially opened yet, so there are already customers, which is a good sign.

While Wei Ruo was busy buying land and hiring people to open a shop, the He family who received the letter came to Xiaowei's Mansion.

Those who came were Wei Ruo's adoptive father He Zhang, adoptive mother Mrs. He, and younger sister He Miaoer.

At first, the people from Xiaowei's Mansion didn't intend to inform Yun's, but they heard that the other party had brought medicinal materials that Xingshan County urgently needed, so the servants of Xiaowei's Mansion went to inform Yun's.

After Yun learned about it, he asked his servants to invite the He family in.

Although Yun didn't want to have too much contact with this family, the other party sent them two carts of medicinal materials. Out of courtesy, Yun let the family live in the mansion.

Afterwards, Wei Qingwan was also taken to meet the He family.

Seeing the three members of the He family with flattering smiles, Wei Qingwan felt uncomfortable all over.

She was educated since she was a child that a businessman is the most humble and the least visible. From the bottom of her heart, she doesn't want to have anything to do with such a person.

"Sister, I'm Miaoer, your sister!" He Miaoer took the initiative to come up and called Wei Qingwan "sister" very enthusiastically.

Wei Qingwan took two steps back, trying to distance herself from He Miaoer.

But He Miaoer didn't seem to feel her resistance and alienation, and always had a warm smile on her face:

"Sister, I finally see you. I have been wanting to see you since I knew you were my sister. Now I finally see the real person. You are more beautiful than I thought!"

Chapter 149 Lo-Mei Shop Hires People

Wei Qingwan smiled lightly: "Miss He, we are not familiar, so we should not call you so close."

However, He Miaoer didn't seem to feel Wei Qingwan's alienation, and continued to flatter Wei Qingwan: "Sister, I know, you have difficulties, don't worry, we will never mention anything between you and us outside. Now in the mansion, there is no one else around, so you don't need to worry so much."

Mrs. He quickly said: "Yes, yes, Wanwan, we are relatives connected by blood, and Miaoer is your biological sister. We will pay attention to it outside, but at home, there is no need to avoid it like this."

Wei Qingwan avoided the three of them, and walked timidly behind Yun: "Mother."

Mr. Yun frowned, seeing her daughter's discomfort, and said to the He family: "Mr. He, Mrs. He, and Ms. He, please remember what you promised us back then."

Mrs. He hurriedly apologized: "I remember, I remember, don't worry, we won't tell everyone outside that Wanwan belongs to our daughter; it's just that there are no outsiders around right now? Madam Wei, please be considerate of us as parents. Heart."

Listening to Mrs. He's explanation, it's not easy for the Yun family to criticize the He family too much. She is also a mother herself, so she can understand their feelings.

"Wanwan, they are your biological parents, and it is only human to care about you, so you should have a good chat with them." Yun said to Wei Qingwan.

After Yun said that, Wei Qingwan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Then because the Yun family had to transport the medicinal materials sent by the He family to the barracks, she left first, and asked Wei Qingwan to greet the He family on her behalf.

After the Yun family left, the He family became even more enthusiastic about Wei Qingwan.

"Wanwan, mother's Wanwan... You and mother were really similar when they were young." Mrs. He looked at Wei Qingwan lovingly.

Wei Qingwan also discovered that she and Mrs. He have very similar eyebrows and eyes, and instead of making Wei Qingwan feel familiar with the He family, this discovery made her very uncomfortable.

"Sister, I heard that Mrs. Wei has been promoted again and has a bright future. Will my sister's status also rise with the tide?" He Miaoer asked curiously.

"Why are you asking these things?" Wei Qingwan disliked He Miaoer's flattery very much.

"Just to inquire, after all, I don't have the good fortune of my sister to grow up in a big family like Earl's Mansion." He Miaoer said enviously.

Wei Qingwan didn't want to have a direct conflict with the other party, so she responded: "Being in an official family also has difficulties in being in an official family. Many things are not as comfortable as sister Miaoer."

He Miaoer would not listen: "Sister Wanwan, my parents and I will stay here for a few more days, why don't you take me around for a while?"

Wei Qingwan resigned: "I still have to go to the magistrate's house to attend lectures every day, so I don't have time to accompany you. Besides, shouldn't sister Miaoer be more familiar with sister Ruoer? If there is anything, it would be better to go to sister Ruoer."

Wei Qingwan wanted to leave this trouble to Wei Ruo.

As everyone knows, the relationship between the He family and Wei Ruo is very weak, and they haven't seen each other for many years, and now they can't recognize Wei Ruo standing in front of them.

"But just now I heard that sister Ruo'er is not at home now, and it will take a while to come back." He Miaoer hurriedly replied.

Wei Qingwan also realized that she didn't know whether it was Wei Qingruo's luck or something, but she just happened to be separated from the He family.

"Sister Wanwan, don't refuse, just take me around! I promise to be obedient and never talk nonsense after I go out!"

He Miaoer took the initiative to come forward, holding Wei Qingwan's arm, one sister at a time.

Wei Qingwan had no choice but to agree to take her around in her spare time.

When Wei Qingwan was annoyed by the He family, Wei Ruo in Fucheng was busy.

Because he was worried that Uncle Xu would not be able to do it alone, Wei Ruo took Mother Xu along with him.

Anyway, the two shops in Xingshan County have been running relatively smoothly, and there is no need for their husband and wife to take care of them all the time.

Both shops, Wei Ruo, need to find suitable assistants, Sibaozhai needs a shopkeeper, and the Lo-Mei shop needs someone who knows some cooking skills, and is well-behaved and sensible.

When Wei Ruo and Xiumei were making marinade in the kitchen of Tianqin Garden, when they talked about finding someone with some skills, the cook heard about it and hurriedly recommended her niece to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo inquired carefully about the situation of the cook and her niece, and learned that she had learned some crafts from the cook, but she didn't stick to it later because she had to help her parents take care of her younger siblings.

Now he is fifteen years old and still unmarried. He wants to find a job to make a living and subsidize his family.

The cook sighed after finishing speaking: "If my niece can learn from me for a few more years, she can be a cook in a rich family and have the same food and drink as I do. I straightened my waist, but it's a pity..."

It's a pity that girls from families like them can't help themselves. After all, there are very few people like her who can live a decent life as a cook for a wealthy family with their own skills.

After listening to the cook's description, Wei Ruo promised to meet her niece.

The cook was very happy after hearing this, and immediately arranged a meeting for Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo frowned the first time he saw the woman. She was fifteen years old, two years older than her, but she was thin, with yellow skin, and looked malnourished.

The weather is getting colder now, and the clothes the woman is wearing are also very thin, worn-out calico clothes, and the sleeves are still a bit away from the wrist, which is obviously much smaller.

"I've met Miss...my name is Chen Aqing." The woman timidly did not dare to look up at Wei Ruo.

"You don't have to be so nervous, I hired you to work in my friend's shop, not to sell you." Wei Ruo said.

"Slave... I dare not..."

"You first make a small dish that you are good at and give us a taste."

Wei Ruo arranged for Chen Aqing to cook a dish for them in the kitchen of Tianqin Garden.

Although she was timid and timid, Wei Ruo and Xiumei were quite satisfied with the dishes they made after tasting them.

So she decided to let her follow Xiumei for a while, learn some skills, and at the same time exercise her courage.

To be an employee in Wei Ruo's store, you still have to be confident.

Knowing that she was hired by Wei Ruo, Chen Aqing directly knelt down and kowtowed to Wei Ruo: "Thank you miss, thank you miss..."

Wei Ruo didn't understand how excited she was.

The cook explained next to her: "Miss, you don't know something. If she fails to find a job this time, there is a high probability that she will be sold to a kiln by that black-hearted brother of mine!"

I see.

Wei Ruo looked at the thin figure crying in front of him, and said, "As long as you have a correct attitude, work hard, and don't get distracted, you won't be hungry in the future."

Chapter 150 and later find a dying person to marry

"Thank you, miss! Thank you, miss!" Chen Aqing kowtowed again.

The cook was also very happy: "Ah Qing has met a nobleman!"

"Take her down first, let her come to find Xiumei tomorrow." Wei Ruo said.

"Okay, okay!" The cook promised repeatedly.

After finishing talking, the cook pulled Chen Aqing and said as she walked: "I'll take you to change clothes. You are going to work in Miss Wei's friend's shop. This dress is not decent. This time, you will stay with me first. Don't go home for the time being, lest the new clothes I changed for you be taken by your mother and changed for your younger brother."

The cook didn't know that Wei Ruo opened the shop by herself. Wei Ruo claimed that it was her friend, and she and Xiumei were just helping to make brine and hiring people.

Watching the two walk away, some dusty memories of Xiumei appeared in her mind.

"Miss, I remember that I was sold to the He family because my mother gave birth to a younger brother and couldn't support her anymore."

Xiumei was very young when she was sold, so she doesn't have a deep memory of her original family members.

It was a dead contract that was sold again, and there was no further contact.

When Wei Ruo was taken to the Wei family, Xiumei was Wei Ruo's only personal maid, and the contract was also transferred to the Wei family.

Although it was just a maid, the He family dared not refuse to give it to the Wei family. If there was no maid around when sending the daughter back to the Wei family, they were afraid that the Wei family would know that their daughter was wronged by them.

Even now, the Wei family doesn't know what kind of life Wei Ruo lived in the He family. The He family explained to the Wei family that Wei Ruo was in poor health and sent to the countryside to raise his health.

Wei Ruo patted Xiumei on the shoulder: "Don't care about them, it's their loss if they don't want my Meimei."

Xiumei nodded heavily: "That's right! I don't need them. I live happily with Miss and nanny Uncle Xu!"

"Wait a little longer, when I am old enough to marry, I will marry someone who is dying, and I can start my own family, and then we will live together." Wei Ruo said to Xiumei.

"Miss, is there no other way? I don't want you to wrong yourself to marry someone who is dying." Xiumei murmured reluctantly.

"Become a father at home and marry a husband. With my current status, I want to establish my own family. This is the most simple and direct way. Besides, what's wrong with a dying person, if he can leave me a stepson, I will be even more happy I'm happy." Wei Ruo smiled.

Wei Ruozhen didn't think there was any problem with this.

She is a person who has lived for two lives. Compared with love and love, she wants to live her own happy life by herself.

Perhaps the biggest problem is how to find such a person. It is difficult to find a dying person who meets the requirements, and everyone must agree.

Xiumei muttered: "That's really not as good as Ah Qing, at least she can come out to work by herself."

"Everyone has their own hardships. We can't choose our fate, so we can only choose the path under our feet."

Wei Ruo has been busy for ten days.

This day Mrs. Yuan came to Tianqin Garden to look for Wei Ruo, and brought good news to Wei Ruo.

"Sister Ruo'er, great joy, your father once again led an army to defeat the Japanese pirates!"

"Really?" Wei Ruo showed surprise.

"Really! Just now the good news has reached the magistrate's office. My husband sent someone to notify me as soon as he learned about it."

The news Madam Yuan got must be accurate.

"Then...was someone injured?" Wei Ruo wanted to know how Xu Zhengyong was doing.

"It is inevitable that the two armies will suffer casualties in the battle, but don't worry, your father is fine, only slightly injured." Madam Yuan replied.

"Are there any other generals injured?" Wei Ruo asked.

"That's not clear." Madam Yuan replied, the information she received was not so detailed.

Wei Ruo was a little disappointed, and was thinking about finding someone to go back to Xingshan County to inquire after a while.

Mrs. Yuan said to Wei Ruo again: "I heard that this time there was a general surnamed Xu who performed very well this time. He led a small group of troops over Moon Moon Mountain, attacked the enemy army by surprise, and finally captured the intruder. The leader of the Japanese pirates made a great contribution."

Isn't Mr. Xu with the surname Xiao Yong brother?

"Then was he injured?" Wei Ruo hurriedly asked.

"Probably not. I only heard that he made meritorious service, but I didn't hear that he was seriously injured. Even if he was injured, it should be a minor injury." Madam Yuan replied.

Wei Ruo was full of joy: "That's good, that's good."

"In addition to telling you the good news, I also want to ask you if you want to send someone to send you back to Xingshan County first, so that you and your father can have a good celebration." Madam Yuan asked.

"No need, it's good to know the victory, so there's no need to celebrate, and isn't there still a lot of casualties? My father probably wouldn't want to celebrate." Wei Ruo explained.

"That's right." Madam Yuan agreed, "But it's a win anyway, and I'm very happy. Although the fight against Japanese pirates is almost becoming the norm, and the common people should live their lives, but if they keep fighting, the worries in their hearts are always It's quite a lot, and my husband has worked hard for this time for a long time. Only by winning everyone can we have a good year."

Then Mrs. Yuan pulled Wei Ruo to talk for a while, during which time she tasted Wei Ruo's candied fruit and braised pork.

Madam Yuan didn't go back until someone from the magistrate's mansion told Madam Yuan that Brother Sheng woke up from a nap and looked for his mother everywhere.

Then Wei Ruo hurriedly wrote a letter and sent someone to rush to Xingshan County to confirm the situation of Brother Xiaoyong.

Although Wei Ruo felt that the man was Brother Xiaoyong from what Mrs. Yuan said just now, it would be more reassuring to confirm again.

As a result, the reply letter arrived the next day, but it wasn't the letter, but Xu Zhengyong himself.

"Brother Xiaoyong!" Xiumei ran up excitedly, checking Xu Zhengyong's situation up and down.

Then he saw Xu Zhengyong's hand wrapped in a white cloth, and asked quickly, "What's going on? Is your hand broken? Let the lady see it!"

"It's not broken, just a little skin trauma." Xu Zhengyong said hastily.

"What kind of skin injury! If the skin injury doesn't heal well, it can be fatal, let the lady show you!" Xiumei took Xu Zhengyong's other uninjured arm and walked towards Wei Ruo.

"I'm really fine, and I've already taken the medicine." Xu Zhengyong quickly explained.

Seeing Xiumei being so nervous, Xu Zhengyong smiled and said, "Junior Sister, you see that you care about me so much, are you planning to call me Senior Brother?"

Xiumei immediately let go of her hand when she heard it, and then glared at Xu Zhengyong angrily: "You want to eat a fart! It's good if you didn't beat you up! You still want me to call you brother?"

"Why did you beat me? I have made military achievements." Xu Zhengyong said innocently.

"What are you talking about, why didn't you tell us in advance that you are going to lead a raid? How dangerous is that? If you don't cooperate well with the large army, your life will be lost!"

Chapter 151 Happy

"My good junior sister, how can I tell you this kind of thing, don't say I don't have the time to say it, even if I have the time, I can't tell it to the outside world, it is a military secret!"

Xiumei pursed her lips, knowing that what Xu Zhengyong said was right, but she was a little unconvinced.

Xu Zhengyong hurriedly complained to Wei Ruo: "Sister Ruo'er, you see that Meimei's temper is getting worse and worse, what should she do if she can't get married after this?"

Xiumei retorted: "Who is going to get married! You can't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth!"

"Okay, you two, stop bickering, as long as Brother Xiaoyong comes back safely, I'll take his hands apart and take a look, and reapply the medicine." Wei Ruo hurried out to smooth things over.

Mother Xu said angrily: "Xiaoyong, Meimei, you are all older than Miss, but together you are not as mature and stable as Miss. How can you serve and protect Miss in the future?"

Xu Zhengyong and Xiumei quickly fell silent.

Wei Ruo asked Xu Zhengyong: "Brother Xiaoyong, is it okay for you to come to Fucheng?"

Xu Zhengyong replied: "Don't worry, I got a ten-day vacation because of my injury. When I come here, I can not only be with you, but also help you."

Xiumei hurriedly said: "What can you do with this, you'd better rest for me, don't become disabled by then, you can only call me Senior Sister."

Xu Zhengyong wanted to refute, but he obediently shut up after seeing his mother's warning eyes.

If he still wants to stay in Fucheng for a few days, he'd better behave himself. If he offends his mother, he will definitely be sent back to Xingshan County by his father.

"Okay, it's rare that our family is together again, let's put aside the things at hand first, and have a good meal together tonight." Wei Ruo said.

"Sure!" Xu Zhengyong was the happiest.

I can eat with sister Ruoer and Meimei again! Just like when they were kids!

So that night, they had dinner together on Zhuangzi.

During the meeting, Xu Zhengyong talked eloquently about how he led people to surprise the Japanese pirates this time.

Finally, Xu Zhengyong was filled with righteous indignation: "Do you know what this group of unconscionable things said after they were caught? They actually said that because they also encountered a natural disaster and had nothing to eat, they came to **** us again!"

Speaking of this, Xu Zhengyong was extremely angry: "This group of sons of bitches! Don't you have enough food to figure out your own way! Just want to steal other people's! Dogs, I will cut one at a time!"

Mother Xu reminded: "Xiaoyong, don't swear in front of the lady!"

Wei Ruodao: "It's okay, nanny, those grandchildren are nothing in the first place, brother Xiaoyong scolded well."

Xiumei seconded: "Miss is right, you need to be polite to others, but you don't need to be polite to those people!"

Wei Ruo had already opened his mouth, but Mother Xu didn't say anything.

Then Xiumei asked Xu Zhengyong: "Do you have a chance to be promoted again for your meritorious service this time?"

Xu Zhengyong didn't know either: "Master Wei said that he would report the truth, but Master Wei can't decide how I want to go up."

Wei Mingting's power is limited, and he needs to ask his superiors for instructions. Xu Zhengyong's just-promoted deputy general was promoted by the Seventh Prince, so it is indeed difficult to promote him in a short period of time.

Wei Ruo encouraged: "It's okay, Brother Xiaoyong, you have done a good job, don't be stressed, you probably can't escape!"

Wei Ruo knew that Xu Zhengyong wanted to be promoted as soon as possible because of her, so she didn't want to put pressure on him.

Xu Zhengyong also thought about it: "I'm not in a hurry, I just do what I should do and perform well, there must be a chance! Sister Ruo'er will come back to live with us sooner or later!"

Wei Ruo felt warm in his heart.

"Brother Xiaoyong, you have to work hard. If you succeed, Miss will not need to find a checkmate..."

Halfway through Xiumei's speech, Wei Ruo pinched her arm.

"Looking for what?" Xu Zhengyong asked.

"It's okay, I'm looking forward to you bringing Miss back!" Xiumei hurriedly changed her words.

Xu Zhengyong didn't have any suspicions, and continued to tell a few people interesting stories about himself in the barracks.

The dining table was filled with laughter and laughter.

After dinner together, Xu Zhengyong and Xu's couple stayed in Zhuangzi, while Wei Ruo and Xiumei returned to Tianqin Garden.

Different from Wei Ruo's happy and cheerful voice, Wei Qingwan was distracted by the He family.

Especially He Miao'er, who didn't know how to move forward or back at all, she arranged for them to live in a guest room, but she always liked to run to her Wangmeiyuan, and always brought some worthless and broken things to send her. Kindly gift.

Hearing her call her "sister", Wei Qingwan felt offended. She is the daughter of a merchant, and if outsiders heard her calling her like that, what would they think of her?

But she had nothing to do with the He family. She was afraid of making the He family anxious, and they went out and talked about her life experience.

Wei Qingwan wanted to persuade the family to go back early, but the He family brazenly refused to leave on the grounds that the war had temporarily ended and they wanted to play in Xingshan County for a while and get close to their biological daughter.

Wei Qingwan hopes that Wei Ruo can come back from Fucheng soon, at least she won't be the only one annoyed by the He family.

However, Wei Ruozheng was working hard in Fucheng and didn't want to go back to Xingshan County at all.

With the joint efforts of everyone, Sibaozhai opened first.

I use the original set of things, and the source of goods is also the original source, as long as the sales volume of paper is temporarily controlled.

The publicity method of the newly opened also followed the previous method, continuing to use the calligraphy of Tibetan forest dwellers as a lottery, and let the students compare and use their paper.

Anyway, Wei Ruona, the calligraphy treasure of Tibetan Layman, still has several stacks, which is enough!

The opening of Sibaozhai was smoother than Wei Ruo imagined, because a certain foundation had been laid in Xingshan County before, and at that time, people from the prefecture city traveled all the way to Xingshan County to buy.

Under the premise of a certain degree of popularity, the opening of Sibaozhai becomes very easy.

The purchasing power of the rich and powerful children in Fucheng is obviously better than that in Xingshan County, and there is a long line in front of the store.

According to the situation, the turnover of Fucheng Sibaozhai may be higher than the combined total of their previous two Sibaozhais.

Wei Ruo specially took Xiumei to the store entrance to watch the excitement. The lively scene made Xiumei sigh with emotion: "Miss, we can earn a lot of money here!"

This is the point that the master and servant are very similar. They are happy when they make money, and they can be happy all day long.

Wei Ruo smiled, and then pulled Xiumei back into the car: "Let's go, go back and continue thinking about the lo-mei shop, and then we'll make trouble for Wei Qingwan and the He family in Xingshan County."

"Miss, what trouble are you going to cause the second miss and the He family?" Xiumei was curious and expectant.

Chapter 152 It was Wei Qingwan who ordered her parents to be restrained

"Let's keep it a secret first." Wei Ruo smiled mysteriously.

"Miss, you are necrotic, arousing people's curiosity and not satisfying!" Xiumei said sullenly.

"Anyway, it's just something that makes them uncomfortable, and you'll know when you go back to the Captain's Mansion next time." Wei Ruo said playfully.

Xiumei muttered: "Okay, then I'll wait, when the time comes, one snicker is enough!"

Xiumei thought for a while, and then said: "Miss, you seem to be taking the initiative to trouble the second lady recently!"

"That's right." Wei Ruo admitted frankly, "Who made Wei Qingwan obstinate with me? I have already avoided it on my own initiative, but she always makes small moves, treating me as her imaginary enemy. She is restless. I can't be polite to her, and I can find something for her to save her, so she spends her days thinking about how she can't find it for me."

"Hmm! Ms. Ni is right! We don't take the initiative to trouble others, but we can't always be bullied!" Xiumei agreed very much.

Xingshan County, Xiaowei Mansion.

After many days, Wei Mingting finally returned home.

He returned home two days later than the others. He waited until the military affairs were arranged before returning home.

After returning home, take a shower and change clothes to wash away the dirt and fatigue accumulated during this period.

Ms. Yun waited for Wei Mingting to change his clothes after bathing, and then carefully re-bandaged Wei Mingting's wound. This time the wound was not deep, and it was almost healed, but just to be on the safe side, Mrs. Yun applied medicine to him.

After applying the medicine, Yun told Wei Mingting about the recent family affairs, including Wei Ruo being picked up by Mrs. Yuan to live in Fucheng and the He family living near Wei's mansion.

Wei Mingting said: "It should be, they are also parents."

Yun said again: "They have been living near Xiaowei's mansion for the past few days, and that girl named Miaoer often comes to see Wanwan."

"From the point of view of blood, they are sisters of direct blood, and it is only human nature to get acquainted with each other." Wei Mingting didn't think there was any problem with this.

They hope that Ruo'er gets along well with Yichen and Yilin brothers, so in the same way, the He family must also hope that their two daughters get along well.

The two were talking, when Madam Zhang came in and reported, "The He family is asking to see you."

The He family always wanted to see Wei Mingting, but Wei Mingting didn't come back from the barracks, so the He family could only wait.

Wei Mingting said: "They helped a lot this time, we should meet them. And they helped take care of Ruoer before, and I didn't thank them in person."

After Wei Mingting finished speaking, he asked Nanny Zhang to lead the person in.

At this moment, Jing Hu came in and sent a letter.

"Master, this is a letter from the young master from Huzhou Mansion."

"Oh? Jin also sent a letter back." Wei Mingting hurriedly picked up the letter and read it.

After reading it, Wei Mingting's face darkened immediately.

"What's wrong?" Yun asked puzzled.

"Look!" Wei Mingting angrily handed the letter to Yun.

Yun took the letter and read it, and his face became extremely ugly after reading it.

"Could it be that Jin Yi made a mistake?" Yun asked.

"If Jin Yi didn't investigate clearly, why would he write back casually? Besides, isn't the He family couple coming over soon? Then ask them face to face, is it true!"

Yun frowned, if what the concubine wrote in the letter was true, then the He family really deserved to die!

Not long after, the He family couple brought their daughter He Miaoer to Wei Mingting.

Wei Qingwan also came with them, not because Wei Qingwan wanted to hang out with their family, but because the He family was always pestering her.

Seeing Wei Mingting, Wei Qingwan stepped forward quickly: "Daddy."

Wei Mingting looked at the He family with an ugly expression, and was not in the mood to pay attention to Wei Qingwan at this time.

Wei Qingwan panicked, not knowing what was going on, why her father was so indifferent to her.

Could it be that I got too close to the He family in the past few days and made my father unhappy?

The He family members came in full of joy, but after seeing Wei Mingting's face, they were instantly overwhelmed.

I have long heard that Wei Qian is always a very strict person, and seeing him today, it is indeed so!

"Master Wei, it's really better to meet you than to be famous. We finally have the chance to meet you today." He Zhang came forward and said enthusiastically to Wei Mingting.

However, Wei Mingting's face was still cold, and He Zhang didn't know what the situation was.

He Zhang's smile became awkward, and he looked at Wei Qingwan a little at a loss, hoping that his biological daughter could help ease the atmosphere at this time.

Wei Qingwan pretended not to see it, she didn't want to get involved with the He family, so why would she upset Wei Mingting for the He family.

The three of the He family suddenly became at a loss.

At this time, Mrs. Yun opened her mouth and questioned the He family couple: "When we sent people to look for you, you told us that Ruo'er has lived very well in your family these years, and you sent him to the countryside to recuperate because of his recent illness. .But now we know that this is not the case at all!"

Hearing this, He Zhang quickly explained: "Where did Master Wei and Mrs. Wei hear this? Did Ruo'er say something angry to you? Ruo'er was very dissatisfied with us sending her to the countryside and didn't understand what we did. He Liang worked so hard, she couldn't listen to us even after we explained it several times."

He Zhang continued: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! We really sent her to the countryside for Ruo'er's body. There are no parents who don't feel sorry for their children. If there is no other way, how can they be willing to send her to the countryside? go down!"

Wei Mingting said coldly: "It's not what Ruo'er said. Ruo'er didn't say anything bad about you to us after he came back. My son found out these things during his investigation in Huzhou Prefecture."

Hearing this, all the sophistry words that He Zhang had thought up were stuck in his throat.

Wei Mingting asked again: "You actually dumped Ruoer, who was only three years old, into the countryside because of a fortune teller's words, and let her fend for herself?"

His eyes were piercing, revealing the murderous look of a person who has been on the battlefield all year round.

He Zhang and Mrs. He were frightened by Wei Mingting's anger, and both knelt down.

Seeing this, He Miaoer quickly knelt down, and seeing her parents were too scared to speak, He Miaoer hurriedly explained to them: "Master Wei, don't be angry, the fortune teller my parents hired is not with us. Known as a living god! His old man figured out that my sister killed her parents, and she will kill her parents before she turns eighteen!"

Hearing this, Wei Qingwan's expression also changed.

The actual birth time of her and Wei Qingruo is a bit different, and it is precisely because of this difference that Wei Qingruo became the eldest daughter.

The He family didn't know that they had embraced the wrong daughter, and they used the time of her birth when they told Wei Qingruo's fortune.

Doesn't that mean that she is the one who will kill her parents before the age of eighteen?

Chapter 153 The He family and Wei Qingwan are having a hard time

He Miaoer didn't realize this problem yet, she just wanted to calm down the Wei family quickly, so she continued to explain:

"Lord Wei, Mrs. Wei, we are really not talking nonsense about this matter. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to the Huzhou Mansion to inquire. The old gentleman is still alive! My parents really didn't do it on purpose! "

Mrs. He quickly followed her daughter's words and explained: "Yes, yes, at that time, I didn't know that my daughter was hugged wrong. It was all the flesh that fell from my body. How could I let her suffer? There is really no way. And even though we sent her to the countryside when she was very young, we didn't treat her harshly, and gave her five taels of silver every month! There are also nurses and maidservants, our family is not a wealthy family, five taels of silver Quite a lot!"

Wei Qingwan's face paled visibly, and at this moment she really wanted to shut up the He family.

But she has no way to say this, and anything she says at this time will easily bring about bad effects.

The more the He family explained, the more ugly Wei Mingting and Yun's expressions became.

Wei Mingting stood up, angrily picked up the saber on the wall behind him.

After pulling it out, the He family was completely shocked.

Where have they seen such a battle! Master Wei has been in the army for many years, and there are countless souls who died under the sword!

"Lord Wei calm down! Master Wei calm down!"

The three members of the He family knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

When Wei Mingting thought of his daughter being sent to the countryside when he was only three years old, he clenched his sword tightly.

Yun's mind is still there, she stepped forward to stop Wei Mingting: "Husband, don't..."

Although the He family is hateful, if my husband kills them now, then my husband will be sent to the government.

Even Mr. Qian Zong can't just execute good people at home.

Wei Mingting pointed his sword at the He family and his wife: "I don't want to see you again! Get out of Wei Mansion right now!"

"Yes Yes…"

The three members of the He family quickly got up from the ground, and ran out in a staggered manner, fearing that if they ran too slowly, they might lose their lives.

After the He family left, Wei Mingting put away his sword.

Mr. Yun stepped forward and called Wei Mingting with a worried expression: "Husband."

Wei Mingting's tone was heavy: "Ruo'er has suffered so much grievance and suffering these years. If Jinyi hadn't gone to Huzhou Prefecture to study, we would still be kept in the dark by the He family."

Yun Shi was also in a bad mood, a piece of flesh that fell off her body was treated like this by the He family, and they even deceived her.

Yun said sadly: "Why didn't Ruoer tell us this?"

Wei Mingting blamed himself in a tone of self-blame: "It must be because we failed to convince her that she didn't want to mention these things to us."

Yun's eyes drooped, and he felt that something was blocked in his chest, and he felt like he couldn't breathe.

Immediately afterwards, Yun looked at Wei Qingwan who was beside her, and for a moment, the words that the He family said just now flooded into her mind.

If what the He family said is true, then the person who was calculated by the fortune teller to kill his parents is their Wanwan!

Sensing Yun Shi looking at her, Wei Qingwan raised her head nervously: "Mother..."

"Go back to Meiyuan first." Yun said to Wei Qingwan.

At this time, she was a little confused, and she didn't know what to say to Wanwan for a while.

"Mother..." Wei Qingwan looked at Yun's reluctantly.

"Let's go back first, my father and I still have something to talk about." Yun said.

"Yes... my daughter resigned..."

Wei Qingwan walked out reluctantly with heavy steps.

Backing back to Wangmei Garden, Wei Qingwan was so sad that she cried.

This He family is really a villain! What are you doing in Xingshan County all the time?

It's okay to bother her all day long, but now she even came up with an excuse to kill her parents.

What if, what if the parents believe this and believe that she is the one who will kill their parents and alienate her from then on, or even send her away?

Wei Ruo received news from Xiaowei's Mansion in advance before returning to Xingshan County.

It was Jing Hu who sent her a letter. Of course Wei Ruo knew that Jing Hu did this not because of her, but because of his second brother.

This matter can be carried out so smoothly, the second brother is indispensable, not only Wei Ruo used his name to tell the story of her being sent to the countryside by the He family when she was three years old, and sent a letter to the He family to convince the He family that it was true. The Wei family invited them because they needed them.

After Xiumei read the letter, she laughed so hard: "Hahaha, this makes the He family and the second lady very uncomfortable! I really want to see how the He family was scared away by the master with the sword. It must be so funny." !"

After being happy for a while, Xiumei asked Wei Ruo: "Miss, why do you think Master He and Mrs. He are so courageous? They treated you like this before, and they dared to come to the captain's mansion. If it wasn't for murder and breaking the law, master It is really possible to chop them to death with a single sword!"

Wei Ruo explained: "When I was picked up at the beginning, they probably felt uneasy and worried that I would sue the Wei family, but they were worried and didn't do anything about me. They didn't have a chance to meet me; but after such a long time, the Wei family didn't bother them, and this time they took the initiative to ask them to help find the medicinal materials, so they naturally felt that there was nothing wrong."

In the original book, the original owner asked to see the Wei family again before going to the Wei family because he was longing for family affection from the bottom of his heart.

That was the time when the He family deceived the original owner with false family affection, making the original owner think that the He family had feelings for her, and willingly helped them hide these things.

Later, the He family tried every means to gain benefits from the original owner, asking the original owner to ask Wei Mingting for help, and the deceived original owner satisfied them.

This time, Wei Ruo not only didn't give them this chance, but also directly disclosed the matter to the Wei family, which can be regarded as avenging some revenge for the original owner.

Originally, Wei Ruo planned to take revenge on them and then do it himself after gaining a firm foothold, so let's ask them for some interest first.

Xiumei asked again: "Miss, will the master and madam believe the statement about killing parents?"

Wei Ruo: "Then I don't know. My father may not be superstitious about this, and I don't know about my mother. Anyway, Wei Qingwan probably feels uncomfortable in her heart, enough for her to struggle for a while."

This incident in the original book was not revealed to the Wei family couple, so Wei Ruo didn't know what their attitude would be after they found out, and whether they would avoid it like the He family couple.

Xiumei said happily: "It's better that she won't be in the mood to trouble you in the future! And the master, I hope he will feel more sorry for you after knowing that you have had a bad life before!"

Wei Ruo smiled, she didn't expect such things.

"Okay, leave them alone, how is Ah Qing practicing?" Wei Ruo asked.

Chapter 154 Don't skimp on initial investment

Chen Aqing has been following Xiumei for the past few days. In addition to teaching her stewed meat and some basic store sales knowledge, Xiumei also trained her in manners and self-confidence.

"It's pretty good. She learns things very quickly. She studies very hard. I let her go to rest and study by herself. She seems to be very afraid that we won't keep her, so she is very hardworking." Xiumei road.

Talking about this, Xiumei couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "She is a miserable person. Her parents value boys over girls. At home, she would get up before dawn to cut pig grass, cook pig food, wash clothes, and make breakfast for the whole family. , and then take the younger siblings to rest until late at night."

In contrast, Xiumei felt very lucky. She followed the young lady, who treated her well and taught her a lot of crafts to make ends meet. She lived a more comfortable and happy life than most people.

Wei Ruodao: "Let her eat more, take good supplements, make her fatter, and give me strength to work, so don't be too tired to work."

Xiumei said: "Miss, don't worry, her complexion has become ruddy visible to the naked eye in the past few days. Except for three meals a day, I asked her to take back all the experimental products I made when I taught her how to make lo mei, and returned them every day. Will give her a fruit."

Fruit is a luxury item for the poor, especially now that it is winter and fruits are scarce, and ordinary people cannot eat them.

"Yes." Wei Ruo nodded.

"Miss, you too, you need to take good care of your body. Don't tire yourself out from all the busy work these days. I'll cook bird's nest for you later. You have to eat it obediently." Xiumei reminded .

"What can I do, don't worry about it, I have to go to Zhuangzi later, don't stew any bird's nest." Wei Ruo said.

As soon as Wei Ruo just finished speaking, he saw Xiumei's resentful expression, and immediately changed his words: "Let's simmer, and I'll eat when I come back later."

"Hmm!" Xiumei immediately put on a smile.

Then the two went to Zhuangzi together, and Manager Yu reported to Wei Ruo the situation in the past few days.

"Miss, in the past few days we have purchased a total of 1,212 acres of land, taken in 37 refugees, and hired 19 local poor people."

Speaking, Manager Yu handed over the account books and registers, which recorded in detail the price of each piece of land purchased, as well as relevant transaction information.

Wei Ruo checked it in detail and asked Guanshi Yu after making sure there was no problem: "Did I plant all the wheat seeds I gave you before?"

Those wheat seeds were produced in her space, and in order to wait for the wheat seeds in Wei Ruo's space to mature, they were planted a while later than the batch in Xingshan County.

Boss Yu replied: "All of them have been planted. The weather has been good these few days, the sunshine is good, and the temperature has risen a lot compared to when the cold wave hit before, and the seedlings have already sprouted."

"Is the newly recovered land relatively barren?" Wei Ruo asked.

Regarding the issue of the unfertile land in Taizhou Prefecture, Mrs. Yuan had talked to herself before.

"It's like this. They can be planted, but they are relatively poor, and the yield has not been high."

"Then don't rush to plant, you take me to those fields to see." Wei Ruo said.

"good."

Wei Ruo followed Guanshi Yu to the ground. After on-site inspection, he determined that the land in this part was similar and somewhat hardened, which indicated that the organic matter content in the soil was insufficient.

Wei Ruo asked Guanshi Yu: "Does the local people have the habit of taking away the harvested straw?"

Guan Yu replied: "That's natural. Rice straw is a very important thing for ordinary people. It can be used for heating, lighting fires, and covering roofs."

Wei Ruo said: "This solution is relatively easy. Apply more organic fertilizer, that is, human and animal manure; and return straw to the field. The method of direct incomplete burning of excess straw becomes ashes and remixes with the soil."

Guanshi Yu said: "Miss, these methods are somewhat difficult. Everyone knows the method of using human and animal manure to fertilize, but this thing is very limited. If there is not enough, you need to spend money to buy it. The same is true for straw. The straw in the field today They have already been received at home, and I am afraid that if they take them out..."

Especially this year is colder than previous years, everyone needs things like straws even more.

"It's not a problem, as long as I'm willing to pay, I can have these things." Wei Ruo said.

"Miss, the cost of this land will go up." Manager Yu reminded.

"It doesn't matter, you can get a better harvest when you pay the capital in the early stage." Wei Ruo replied.

Listening to Wei Ruo's answer without hesitation, Manager Yu was a little surprised. After all, buying land and hiring people is a big expense, and now more investment is needed to improve the soil condition.

Even if this is done, it is still unknown whether there will be a good harvest in the later stage. If the weather is not good, the investment will lose everything.

Seeing Manager Yu's hesitant look, Wei Ruo asked, "Is there any problem with Manager Yu?"

"I'm just a little worried. After all, the weather has been bad recently. There was a cold wave just a while ago, and the temperature is lower than this time of the year. No one knows whether the crops planted now will be reaped. I'm afraid that Miss will spend so much time on it. , In the end, all the money was lost." Yu Guanshi expressed his concerns.

"Well, your worry is justified, but since I have decided to do it, I must do it to the best, and I can't shrink back. I believe that the land is fair, you treat it well, and follow its laws Come, and it will reward you well."

If Wei Ruo said so, then Steward Yu would have no objection.

Wei Ruo continued: "You just do as I said. The fertilizer originally produced on the Zhuangzi will be used on the Zhuangzi, and the newly harvested fertilizer from the ground will go to Uncle Xu to pay for the purchase. The specific usage standards I will give you." I'll make a detailed list for you shortly."

"Good lady." Manager Yu wrote down one by one.

Then Wei Ruo went to inspect the original thousand mu of fertile land that had been planted with wheat.

After finishing the work, it was getting late, so Wei Ruo went back to Tianqin Garden.

The residence of the magistrate.

Yuan Zhengqin came back from the government office and went to his wife's room. When he entered the door, he heard the teasing laughter of his wife and son. The exhaustion from busy work disappeared instantly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Brother Sheng, how good is he today?" Master Yuan asked while taking his son from his wife's arms.

"What you're saying sounds like he's going to be bad someday." Madam Yuan laughed.

"It's good for him to be good. He caused his wife to suffer so much on the day of his birth, so he should be better in the future and be more considerate of his wife." Yuan Zhengqin said.

Speaking of the day of birth, Mrs. Yuan thought of Wei Ruo: "It was really thanks to meeting sister Ruoer that day."

Yuan Zhengqin said: "I am also going to tell you about Miss Wei."

"What's the matter?" Madam Yuan asked with concern.

Chapter 155 Attitude of father and brother

"Miss Wei has bought a lot of land in Fucheng in the past few days, and hired a lot of refugees." Yuan Zhengqin said.

"Sister Ruo'er mentioned this to me, what's wrong? But what's wrong?" Madam Yuan asked.

"I haven't heard of any troubles. It's just that Ms. Wei has done a good deed by standing in the prefect's position. The refugees have just appeared recently. Although there are not many, they are also a factor of instability. I am worried about how to deal with them. They were all taken away by Ms. Wei. With land to cultivate and food to eat, they will naturally be stable. It's much better than me asking money to arrange them to live."

Government arrangements for lodging and food distribution are short-term and cannot solve long-term problems.

"It's good that nothing happened. She saved my life, and now she's helping me see a doctor and giving us ideas to increase farmers' production. If she has any problems, you need to tell me. I have to help her." Mrs. Yuan said to her husband.

"I know, I'm also grateful to her, and I'll help her if there's anything I don't need my wife to tell me." Yuan Zhengqin said with emotion: "According to the current trend of development, Miss Wei's family property may be bigger than that of the entire school." The Wei Mansion is going to be rich, and even the Zhongyi Bo Mansion in the capital is about to let her catch up."

Yuan Zhengqin knew the situation of the Wei family. Apart from the old man and the old lady's family background who may not be known to outsiders, there is really nothing else in the Zhongyi uncle's mansion.

"Sister Ruo'er earned it herself. The Seventh Prince rewarded her because of her contribution to improving the wasteland. The Zhuangzi I gave her was because she saved the lives of me and Brother Sheng. If she has this ability, then You should have this family business." Mrs. Yuan said.

Seeing his wife speak for Wei Ruo in this way, Yuan Zhengqin couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that Madam really likes Miss Wei very much."

Mrs. Yuan said: "In the beginning, I was mostly grateful. I still clearly remember her firm expression and tone when I was in the most painful and difficult time. This kindness will never be forgotten in this life; but after getting along these times, it is indeed true. It made me like her even more, her temperament suits me, she is not like ordinary women in boudoirs."

"As long as Madam is happy, I am also very happy. Madam can find a confidant in this relatively deserted Taizhou Mansion. It is really wronged Madam to keep Madam away from the capital and accompany me here these years."

"I don't have any grievances. With you by my side and with your understanding, I am willing to go anywhere. Besides, I eat well and live well here, so why should I feel wronged?"

"Yes." Yuan Zhengqin gently embraced his wife in his arms.

Getting a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for.

Wei Ruo stayed in Fucheng until the lo-mei shop opened before going back.

She didn't want to go back, but she just delayed, even with Madam Yuan's excuse.

After half a month, Wei Ruo first went to see Wei Mingting when he returned to Xiaowei's Mansion.

Wei Mingting looked at Wei Ruo, and seemed to have a lot to say.

"Ruo'er has worked hard." Wei Mingting said.

"It's not hard for a daughter, but it's hard work for a father who fights for days and days, defending his family and the country." Wei Ruo replied politely.

Wei Mingting stared at Wei Ruo for a long time, Wei Ruo couldn't help raising his head to look at her.

Four eyes met, Wei Ruo couldn't help feeling a little dazed, she saw a look on Wei Mingting's face that was extremely unfamiliar to her.

In the previous life, Wei Ruo had never seen it in the alcoholic domestic violence father, and this is the first time he has seen someone look at him like this until now.

It is very deep and thick, and it seems to contain a lot of emotions.

Wei Ruo lowered his head back again, avoiding the strange eyes.

After a long while, Wei Mingting said to Wei Ruo: "You have worked **** the boat and car, let's go back and rest first."

"Daughter resigns."

Wei Ruo quickly backed out and went to Tingsongyuan.

When it was almost time to listen to Songyuan, Wei Yichen stopped himself.

"Brother?" Wei Ruo looked at Wei Yichen suspiciously, for some reason the other party stopped him.

"Ruoer..." Wei Yichen stared at Wei Ruo, his expression was somewhat similar to Wei Mingting's, hesitant to speak.

He learned that Wei Ruo was going back to the mansion, so he came here specially to find her.

"Brother, it's okay to speak up if you have anything to say." Wei Ruo said.

To Wei Mingting and Wei Ruo, he was embarrassed to say that, but to Wei Yichen and Wei Ruo, he had no scruples.

"A few days ago, the second brother sent a letter. He investigated some things in Huzhou Prefecture..."

Wei Yichen thought that Wei Ruo didn't know about it.

Wei Ruo didn't answer, but just looked at Wei Yichen, waiting for his next words.

Wei Yichen hesitated for a while before continuing: "Ruoer, you have suffered."

"It's nothing, it's all over." Wei Ruo replied.

During those days in Mojiazha, Wei Ruo actually had a good life. The reason why she didn't deny and refute Wei Yichen was because the original owner really had a hard time in those years.

She is a native of this world. Given her age, life is really difficult when the monthly payment is deducted.

If the nanny hadn't been with her all the time and raised her with her family's money, she might not have been able to wait to be taken back by the Wei family.

Hearing Wei Ruo's understatement of "it's all over", Wei Yichen's heart was very heavy. He promised Wei Ruo:

"Brother promises you that he will make you rich in the future. My father said that he will not force you to be a lady of the family. You can do whatever you like. It doesn't matter if you marry a farmer in the future. Father and I am all your reliance."

Wei Yichen spoke very sincerely, but Wei Ruo had already made up his own mind, and she had to rely on herself, not on her father and brother.

"Thank you for your kindness, brother, let's talk about the future."

"Then you go back to rest first, it's hard work after a long journey." Wei Yichen said.

Wei Ruo went back to Tingsong Garden, and Nanny Zhang was waiting to report to her about the south of the city. Although Wei Ruo didn't intervene much, the general situation still needs to be grasped. Second, Wei Ruo couldn't bear to see those people busy for nothing.

After Madam Zhang finished her report, Wei Ruo asked, "Is my mother not in the mansion today?"

Wei Ruo hasn't seen Yun Shi since he came back. If he was here, he should have seen her with his father just now.

"Madam went to Fahua Temple early today." Madam Zhang replied.

"Today is neither the first day nor the fifteenth day of junior high school. What are you going to Fahua Temple for?" Wei Ruo asked.

"The exact old slave is not very clear, but I guess it may be related to the incident a few days ago." Madam Zhang replied.

"whats the matter?"

"It's the letter sent back by the second young master. According to the letter, the second young lady in the mansion is the one who killed her parents. Madam seems to care about it, so this old slave guesses that Madam is going to Fahua Temple today. Maybe it was for this matter."

Anyway, no one else was present, so Nanny Zhang told Wei Ruo everything.

Chapter 156 Wei Yilin playing with a whip

"Is there any monk in Fahua Temple who can tell fortunes?" Wei Ruo asked Nanny Zhang.

"That's not true. The master of Fahua Temple doesn't tell people's fortunes. He only asks for fortune-telling." Nanny Zhang replied.

Wei Ruo thought for a while, and then asked: "Cuihe next to the second lady, and her old lady Li Nanny, will they leave the house today?"

"Nurse Li went out today, not long after Madam went out, and she hasn't come back yet." Nanny Zhang replied.

"I see." Wei Ruo understood in his heart, "Go down and do your own business first."

"Good lady."

After Nanny Zhang left, Xiumei asked Wei Ruo puzzledly: "Miss, just now you asked Nanny Li and Cui He what they were doing, and why did they go out? They won't do anything bad for you again." Bar?"

"I reckon I want to see if Madam has gone to someone to tell her fortune." Wei Ruo guessed.

"Oh, the second lady is worried that Madam will go to someone to tell her fortune, and then she will confirm what she said about her parents?" Xiumei said.

"It's possible, let her go as she pleases, we don't care about her, if she is nervous about other things, she won't have time to trouble me."

"That's true!" Xiumei nodded.

Yun came back before dinner.

The Yun family who returned to Cangyunyuan told Wei Mingting about his visit to Fahua Temple today.

"Today is not the first day and the fifteenth day of the junior high school. Why did you think of going to Fahua Temple?" Wei Mingting asked.

"There have been a lot of things at home recently, I want to ask for peace of mind." Yun replied.

"Um."

Wei Mingting didn't say much. He has been fighting a lot recently, which made his wife worry. It would be good if going to Fahua Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha can make her feel more at ease.

"Husband, today I also asked for a lottery. After I asked the master to read the signer, I said that the universe is uncertain and everything is unpredictable. It is said that the Wei family is now at a big fork in the road. The road ahead may be a great blessing or a great disaster." Yun said again.

"Um."

The signed document didn't say anything good or bad, so Wei Mingting didn't have anything to say.

Yun Shi was still a little worried and said: "Husband, what do you think if what the He family couple said is true?"

Wei Mingting raised his head to look at Xiang Yun, and he realized that the reason she went to Fahua Temple to burn incense and ask for lottery today was for this matter.

"Madam, do you believe that fate can be told by parents?" Wei Mingting asked.

"I've been thinking about it for two days, and I'm still a little uneasy. I want to ask someone to rest assured, so I want to ask someone, in case it's true..." Yun replied.

"If you ask a fortune teller, and his statement is the same as that of the fortune teller hired by the He family, what should you do? Are you going to send him away?" Wei Mingting asked.

"I..." Yun was at a loss for words, and she didn't quite know how to deal with it.

"Madam, if we listen to the one-sided words of the fortune teller and send the child away, then what is the difference between us and the He family couple who sent Ruoer away?" Wei Mingting asked his wife.

Yun didn't know how to answer.

She hated the He family's behavior of throwing her own daughter to the countryside, so she naturally didn't want to be like them.

Wei Mingting then said to Yun: "Ma'am, don't think about it anymore. Since you decided to keep the two children by your side, you should treat them well. My daughter of the Wei family left home, either to get married or to commit crimes." He made a big mistake and sent him out, but he couldn't send him out because of the fortune-teller's few words."

Wei Mingting has a clear attitude.

"The concubine knows it. This is because the concubine did not do it properly. Husband, don't be angry."

Yun immediately stopped worrying about this matter.

Early in the morning of the second day, when Wei Ruo just woke up, someone knocked on the gate of Tingsongyuan.

After Xiumei opened the door, she found that the person knocking on the door was Wei Yilin, dressed in a black riding suit and with her hair tied back, she looked a bit shrewd and capable.

"Is there something wrong, young master?" Xiumei asked.

"I'm looking for Wei... I'm looking for her, is she there?" Subconsciously wanted to call her name, but when she came to her mouth, she remembered something and chose to change her mouth.

It's just that the three words "big sister" are a bit difficult to say, so I chose to use "she" to refer to her.

"My lady is busy." Xiumei replied.

Actually Wei Ruo just woke up, but Xiumei didn't want Wei Yilin to bother Wei Ruo.

Wei Yilin stretched his neck and looked around the yard, but he didn't see Wei Ruo's figure, and his small face couldn't help showing a disappointed look.

Xiumei didn't know what the kid was thinking, and she couldn't chase him away directly, so she had to wait for him to see enough and leave.

"Tell her, I'm going to my father's place, let her come over after work." Wei Yilin said to Xiumei.

Xiumei didn't know what Wei Yilin's intentions were, but she still agreed: "Good young master."

Then Wei Yilin left, not long after he left, Wei Ruo came out of the house, Xiumei told Wei Ruo that Wei Yilin came to find her just now.

"Young master is also acting weird, I don't know if he is holding back something." Xiumei expressed her worry.

Wei Yilin has a lot of criminal records, so he doesn't have much credibility with them.

"Ignore him."

Wei Ruo didn't plan to talk to Wei Yilin. After working in the yard for a while, he planned to go back to the house to look at the recent account books. There are many things to be busy with.

Not long after returning to the house, someone came from Cangyun Garden, sent by Wei Mingting to invite Wei Ruo to come over.

Then Wei Ruo had to pass.

When he came to the gate of Cangyun Garden, Wei Ruo heard crisp whipping sounds, and when he approached, he saw Wei Yilin performing whipping in front of Wei Mingting.

One after another, it seems like that.

I don't know if I didn't see Wei Ruo coming, Wei Yilin made it harder, and the sound of the whip hitting the ground became clearer and louder.

After a while, it ended with a beautiful backflip.

Wei Yilin put away his whip, ran to Wei Mingting, and looked at Wei Mingting expectantly.

"Very good, you've made a decent appearance. You can make such progress in such a short period of time, which shows that you have really worked hard."

Wei Mingting was not stingy with his compliments, and praised Wei Yilin's performance.

Although he is strict, he will definitely give affirmation to the child when he does well.

Wei Yilin's face was immediately filled with joy and shyness.

This is the first time he has been praised by his father when he grows up!

It turned out that his father would praise him too!

In the past, he felt that no matter what he did, his father would not affirm him, so he simply gave up. It was enough for him to have his sister Wanwan praise him for being great. If his father disliked him, he didn't want his approval.

Now I find that it is not so difficult to get my father's praise!

Immediately afterwards, Wei Yilin turned his head to look in the direction where Wei Ruo was standing. Sure enough, he had already seen Wei Ruo just now.

"How is it? Is my whip good?" Wei Yilin asked Wei Ruo.

Chapter 157 Changes to Wei Ruo

"I don't understand, so I won't comment." Wei Ruo replied.

"You don't have to be as good as your father, you just talk about whether you think it looks good or not."

Wei Yilin insisted on listening to Wei Ruo expressing her opinion.

Wei Ruo had no choice but to answer perfunctorily: "My father praised it, so it must be very good."

What on earth does this stinky kid want to do? Want her to praise him? Are you full?

Wei Yilin pursed his lips, his expression filled with dissatisfaction with Wei Ruo's answer.

Wei Mingting asked Wei Yilin: "How did you come up with the idea of learning to whip?"

"Because of Wei... because the big sister gave me this whip." Wei Yilin replied truthfully.

Wei Mingting glanced at the whip in Wei Yilin's hand, and recognized that it was a good and expensive whip.

Wei Mingting said to Wei Yilin: "This is a rare thing. You really have to practice and use it well to be worthy of your elder sister's painstaking efforts for you."

Wei Yilin replied: "Father, I know, I practice martial arts very hard now, and the master praises me."

"Well, that's very good, remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and maintain a humble and learning attitude." Wei Mingting urged.

"Father, don't worry, I will continue to work hard to do better, and I will be a hero like my father in the future!" Wei Yilin said to Wei Mingting.

Wei Mingting was deeply surprised by these words.

The youngest son used to be quite naughty, which caused him and his wife no headaches. He has always felt guilty because he has no time to teach because of his busy schedule.

I didn't expect such a change now.

After a while, Wei Mingting stretched out his hand and stroked Wei Yilin's head twice: "Study hard."

Although there are only three simple words, it conveys Wei Mingting's recognition and encouragement of his youngest son's ambition.

Wei Yilin couldn't help being happy and a little shy, and his little face was a little red.

The main thing is that he has grown so big, and he has never been so recognized by his father.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Mingting turned to look at Wei Ruo: "Ruoer, you put your heart into it."

Wei Ruo hurriedly explained: "This was a reward from the Seventh Highness before, and my daughter gave it to Yilin because she was useless."

Wei Mingting said with relief: "Ruo'er, don't be modest, it's not just this gift, what's more important is Ruo'er's kindness to Yilin. Let Yilin learn martial arts and give him a whip. Lin's affairs are much more transparent than my father's."

It was Wei Ruo's idea to let Wei Yilin practice martial arts, and now he gave Wei Yilin a whip to learn. Everything reflects the elder sister's good intentions.

Facts today have proved that what Wei Ruo did was very correct.

Wei Ruo: …

She really just had nothing to give away, and Wei Yilin only gave this whip when she didn't need it. She really didn't have any expectations for Wei Yilin.

Wei Yilin would become like this, Wei Ruo never thought about it.

Who knew that this guy could hold on to it, not to mention the hardships, and fell in love with martial arts.

Wei Yilin listened to Wei Mingting's compliment to Wei Ruo, thoughtful.

After a while, he also said to Wei Ruo, "Thank you, big sister."

Although she still has some dissatisfaction with Wei Ruo, she is always cold-faced and venomous towards herself, but Wei Yilin seems to be able to understand what his father said, Wei Ruo's love for him, and she really let him I learned the skill and was praised by my father.

"You don't need to thank me, you got it through your own efforts." Wei Ruo replied.

Disclaimer: Just don't bother me in the future!

Wei Mingting looked at the siblings with a loving expression.

The three of them stayed in the yard for a while, and after talking together for a while, Wei Mingting left the two of them to have some refreshments in Cangyun Garden.

During the period, Wei Mingting mentioned Xishan Village where he and Wei Ruo had stayed together before.

"I went to visit them the day before yesterday, and the village chief said that everyone missed you very much, and the food you cooked that day was really delicious."

Not to mention that the villagers missed it, even Wei Mingting and the soldiers who also ate Wei Ruo's dishes that day missed Wei Ruo's dishes very much.

Wei Yilin looked at Wei Ruo with surprised eyes: "You know how to cook?"

Before Wei Ruo opened his mouth, Wei Mingting answered for her: "Your big sister's cooking is the best I've ever tasted for my father."

Wei Yilin was very surprised: "It's better than the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by sister Wanwan?"

In Wei Yilin's heart, the osmanthus cake made by his sister Wanwan is the most delicious cake he has ever eaten.

"In terms of cooking skills, your second sister and your eldest sister are indeed a bit behind." Wei Mingting said in a matter-of-fact manner.

Wei Yilin couldn't believe it, but his father would never lie.

How good is Wei Qingruo's craftsmanship? Wei Yilin couldn't help being curious.

So Wei Yilin looked at Wei Ruo suspiciously for a while.

Wei Ruo didn't bother to talk to him, deliberately ignored his probing eyes, and continued to ask Wei Mingting: "How is the life of the villagers in Xishan Village now? Can this year pass this test safely?"

Wei Mingting said: "Life must be more difficult, not to mention the villagers, even some families in the county town who live fairly well on weekdays, this year will not be too easy."

Even the Wei family was greatly affected by the weather, and had to rely on the support from the Zhongyibo Mansion in the capital to maintain the daily expenses of the mansion.

"It's good to be able to live in the past, wait until this year is over, and then cultivate the land next year, life will be better." Wei Ruo said.

"I hope so." Wei Mingting can only hope that the weather in the coming year will be better, so that people will have more ways of life.

Wei Mingting added: "Ruo'er don't need to worry too much, you have already helped them a lot, now all over Xingshan County, there are countless people who have benefited from you and thank you very much."

Wei Mingting had some free time these days, so he went to visit various places. He wanted to know the living conditions of the people after the disaster, but unexpectedly found that in the hearts of the people, his daughter was more prestigious than him. Many people called him "Miss Wei" father", and many people asked him about his daughter.

At that time, Wei Mingting felt an unprecedented pride in his heart, the pride of being a father.

For the first time in my life, I felt so proud as a father.

However, he doesn't want his daughter to be under too much pressure on this matter, just do his best. Now that the world is like this, how much can she change as a woman?

"My daughter is only doing her own thing." Wei Ruo replied.

Wei Yilin was listening to the conversation between the two, only to realize that Wei Ruo seemed to be more powerful than he thought.

After finishing the refreshments, Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin left Cangyun Garden together.

After leaving the hospital, Wei Ruo quickened his pace, deliberately trying to keep a distance from Wei Yilin.

Wei Yilin ran up and called Wei Ruo: "Wait for me."

"What do you want to do again?" Wei Ruo asked, impatient in his tone.

Seeing Wei Ruo's expression, Wei Yilin felt a little depressed, puffing his cheeks and questioning Wei Ruo: "Why are you so impatient with me? You obviously care about me, so can't you be gentler?"

Chapter 158 Someone went to the lo mei shop to make trouble

"Gentleness? What kind of gentleness do you want?" Wei Ruo wanted to laugh.

Wei Yilin thought for a while and replied: "She is as gentle as sister Wanwan. You should learn more from her. After speaking softly, she is always very gentle, and her smile is very sweet."

Wei Ruo really laughed this time, and then replied Wei Yilin with two words: "Dream."

"What did you say?"

"I said you are daydreaming, if you like Wei Qingwan, go to Wei Qingwan. Anyway, I don't like to take care of you, let alone be gentle with you."

When there are others around, Wei Ruo still pretends to Wei Yilin, but now that there are no outsiders, Wei Ruo doesn't beat around the bush with Wei Yilin.

"Wei Qingruo, you...you are too bad! How can you be such a big sister! You don't look like a big sister at all!"

Wei Yilin stamped his feet angrily, his face was flushed red, and his eyes were wide open.

Wei Ruo snorted slightly, then ignored Wei Yilin's dissatisfaction, and strode back to his yard.

Wei Yilin who was left behind could only stomp his feet angrily on the spot.

"Bastard, villain, stinky bastard." Wei Yilin kept stomping on the ground, as if the ground was Wei Ruo.

Xiumei was waiting at the door for Wei Ruo to come back, and she saw Wei Yilin stomping her feet from a distance.

"Miss, what did you say, you made the young master so angry." Xiumei couldn't help being curious.

"I didn't say anything, I just didn't want to talk to him. He still wants me to be as gentle to him as Wei Qingwan was to him. He is probably just trying to get a fart." Wei Ruo replied.

When she has saved enough money, she will find a short-lived ghost to marry, and the golden cicada will escape her shell. If he wants to see her, he may not be able to see her face. She is gentle, gentle ghost!

Two days later, Wei Ruo received a message from Fucheng.

Something happened to the lo mei shop.

There is nothing wrong with the shop itself, the business is very good, Chen Aqing and another errand guy work neatly, and the daily income is also very considerable.

However, it was because the shop was in good condition that some people were envious and sent someone to the shop to make trouble.

The first time I came to find trouble, I didn't succeed, but the second time I brought someone over to smash the store.

Chen Aqing was protecting the store, but she was outnumbered by two fists and was injured.

After receiving the news, Wei Ruo immediately took Xiumei to Fucheng.

Before going out, he only told Wei Mingting that he had something to do in Fucheng, but Wei Mingting didn't ask in detail, and only asked Wei Ruoduo to take two people with him, and pay attention to safety.

Wei Ruo declined on the grounds that Mrs. Yuan would send someone to meet her.

The things she went to Fucheng to do should not be known to the Wei family for the time being.

After arriving in Fucheng, Wei Ruo first went to Chen Aqing's residence to check the situation.

Chen Aqing now lives in a small alley in the city with her cook girl.

When Wei Ruo and Xiumei found Chen Aqing, she was lying on the bed recuperating.

Seeing Wei Ruolai, Chen Aqing tried to get up, but Wei Ruo pushed her back: "Lie down well, don't move around."

"Miss, I'm sorry, I failed to protect the store..." Chen Aqing apologized.

"There is nothing to be sorry for. Next time you encounter this kind of thing, the other party has a lot of people, so you run away. If the store is destroyed, you can reinstall it. If someone has a good or bad thing, there is nothing you can do."

"But miss, that's the shop you managed to open..." Chen Aqing looked sad and blamed herself.

"It's okay, just reopen the business after the matter is settled. It's not a big deal. The most important thing is that you are okay." Wei Ruo comforted Chen Aqing.

"But…"

"Don't think about that, you just need to take care of your body and I will take care of those things."

As Wei Ruo spoke, his hand touched Chen Aqing's wrist.

Then checked her injuries.

There was still a medicine bowl by Chen Aqing's bedside, so Wei Ruo took it and smelled it.

It seems that the cook is really kind to this niece. She invited a doctor and prescribed medicine for her. Although the effect of the prescription was mediocre, she did her best.

Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to get a pen and paper, and wrote a prescription for the medicine, and then asked Xiumei to grab the medicine, and at the same time left an ointment for Chen Aqing.

"Don't take the medicine prescribed by the doctor before. After Xiumei comes back, use the medicine she brought back, and then you apply this ointment on the healing area every morning and evening." Wei Ruo explained.

Chen Aqing looked at Wei Ruo with a look of astonishment. It was the first time for her to be so kind to and caring about herself except for her aunt.

"Miss, you are too kind to me." Chen Aqing choked up.

"You were injured because of my shop, I should do all these things."

Chen Aqing looked at Wei Ruo and his eyes suddenly turned red. He didn't cry when he was beaten, but now that Wei Ruo cared so much, he had the urge to cry.

"Miss, you are so nice..."

"Okay, don't think about that, you have a good rest, I'll deal with that matter first."

After explaining a few words to Chen Aqing, Wei Ruo left. She was going to find out the ins and outs of the matter and who was behind it!

Wei Ruo and Xiumei came to Xu Ji Braised Meat Shop again, and the nanny was already waiting for her in the shop.

"Miss, I'm sorry, I couldn't make it back in time." The nurse apologized.

"Nurse, don't blame yourself. You and Uncle Xu have to take care of a lot of things, and you can't stay in the store all the time. Didn't I also fail to come here at the first time?"

Wei Ruo didn't give the nanny a chance to continue to take responsibility for herself, and asked, "Who messed up the nanny, do you have any clues?"

"The person who came claimed to be from Zuixianju." The nanny replied.

The nanny didn't know how they offended the people of Zuixianju. Although they were all selling food, there was no conflict between them and Zuixianju in theory.

Xiumei asked Wei Ruo: "Miss, are we going to Zuixianju to find someone?"

Xiumei has already rolled up her sleeves and is ready to fight.

"Don't be reckless, even if it's really someone from Zuixianju, it would still be a disadvantage for the two of us to kill him alone."

Wei Ruo was thinking about countermeasures while answering Xiumei's question.

"Well, Meimei, let's go back and dress up and make some lo mei. We'll sell it at the entrance of this store tomorrow." Wei Ruo said.

She intends to sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit. Since the other party is here to prevent her from doing business properly, then she will do it.

"Good!" Xiumei raised her hands in approval.

Hearing this, the nanny said: "Miss, how about I call Xiaoyong back, he just returned to Xingshan County two days ago, and he hasn't reported to the military camp yet."

"Don't disturb Brother Xiaoyong, his injury is just right, and he will be back at the barracks in two days, let him rest well and stop running back and forth." Wei Ruo said.

"But I'm worried that there are too many people coming, and Meimei can't beat them alone..." the nanny worried.

"I'm going to borrow two people from Mrs. Yuan. This is the bustling area of Fucheng. If someone makes trouble, the magistrate's yamen still has to take care of it."

Chapter 159 Confront the person in Drunken Xianju

Seeing that Wei Ruo has a way to deal with it, the nanny can only put her worry back in her stomach first.

Afterwards, Wei Ruo went to find Mrs. Yuan, and when she heard that the store had been smashed and injured, Mrs. Yuan offered to help Wei Ruo solve the problem.

"Leave all this matter to me. There is no one in this Taizhou capital that I can't cure!"

Wei Ruo shook his head: "Madam, just let me do it myself. I have to deal with these things by myself. I can't rely on you for everything."

Madam Yuan smiled slightly, seeing that Wei Ruo had her own ideas, she stopped insisting.

"Okay then, I'll send you two of my personal guards. They are skilled, and they are my people. They will be more convenient than the people in the yamen. You can just tell them if you have anything to do."

"Thank you ma'am."

"Why are you being polite to me? You have helped me so much. I am very happy to be able to help you. What's more, they are causing trouble in Taizhou Prefecture, and they have the responsibility of the magistrate's office. Besides, the lo mei and the wives of your shop I like it very much, if it is ruined by a few gangsters, I will not be willing."

On the second day, Wei Ruo and Xiumei wore men's clothes and made some disguises on their faces.

Wei Ruo put a big, black mole on the upper right corner of his mouth, and Wei Ruo planned to put a few more hairs on it, but was stopped by Xiumei.

Xiumei: "Miss, stop posting, this is disgusting!"

Wei Ruo: "Is it disgusting? I think it's pretty good. Then I'll put a birthmark on it."

Wei Ruo knows that he looks like a woman, if there are no more decorations on his face, others will know that it is a girl in disguise.

Wei Ruo put the birthmark on his left cheek.

There is a mole on the right and a big birthmark on the left, so no one can see her face clearly.

Plus she is not very old, and her masculinity is not very prominent, which is normal.

Wei Ruo: "Okay, okay, what shall I post for you?"

Xiumei: "Let's put a scar on it, so it looks a bit more vicious."

Wei Ruo: "Okay, I'll stick one next to your eyes, it looks super fierce~"

The two finished their makeup while laughing and playing, and then took the lo mei that was made last night to Xuji lo mei shop to set up a stall.

Xu Ji Braised Meat Shop has reopened. The original shop has not been reorganized yet, so a temporary stall is set up in front of the shop.

Although there is only a small booth, the business is still very hot.

Many regular customers come to patronize.

It was sold all morning, most of the prepared lo mei was sold out, and the rest of the lo mei would be sold out in less than an hour in the afternoon.

Taking advantage of the lack of people at noon, Wei Ruo and Xiumei planned to go to the store to eat something.

Just as he turned around, several figures appeared, blocking Wei Ruo and Xiumei in men's clothes.

"You guys are so brave, you dare to continue to open a store here!" A tall and thin man said with a mocking tone.

Looking at the outfits of this man and the people behind him, they look like some hooligans.

Wei Ruo looked at the man, not only calm, but also a little happy.

It can be regarded as showing up, there is no movement all morning, I am afraid they will not come!

"Why can't we open a shop here? Who are you, are you from the government office or are you an official?" Wei Ruo asked back.

"Didn't I tell you last time that I am from Zuixianju! Don't you know about Zuixianju when you open a shop here?" the man said arrogantly.

"Did our opening here affect Zuixianju?" Wei Ruo asked.

"Why is it not affected, our restaurant is for customers to eat, and you sell food in front of our restaurant, what is the impact?"

"Joke, don't talk about selling food, even if you open a restaurant, I'm afraid you Zuixianju have no right to stop it?" Wei Ruo asked.

"You're looking for death!" The man turned his head and ordered his subordinates with a grim face, "Brothers, hit me! Let them know what will happen to offending Zuixianju!"

Together with the leader, a total of six men attacked Wei Ruo and Xiumei together.

Wei Ruo took a step back and handed over the battlefield to Xiumei.

At the same time, those two people sent by Mrs. Yuan to protect Wei Ruo also took action.

The originally aggressive six people were beaten by Xiumei and two guards after a couple of moves.

"Who are you? You dare to hit us! They say we are from Zuixianju! How dare you treat us like this! When our boss comes, we will definitely not let you go!"

The thin and tall man who took the lead was all lying on the ground, still shouting.

"Really? Then I will take you to the boss of Zuixianju now, and I want to see what kind of man he is!"

Hearing this, the man's face changed, and his expression became terrified: "You want to take me to the boss of Zuixianju? No! You can't go to the boss of Zuixianju!"

Wei Ruo came over, "Why can't you look for it? I'm afraid that your boss will punish you if you don't do well?"

"I... I... Anyway, I won't go! Let me go!"

The man tried to get up from the ground to escape, but was spotted by Xiumei, who stepped up and stomped the man back to the ground.

The man groaned in pain.

"First, what's your name?" Wei Ruo asked.

"I don't change my name when I go, I don't change my surname to Li Biao..."

"Li Biao, right? Okay, I hope your behind-the-scenes boss has the same backbone as you." Wei Ruo said.

"You, what do you want to do?" Just as Li Biao finished asking, two of Mrs. Yuan's guards came forward, picked up the man and headed towards Zuixianju.

Li Biao panicked: "What do you want to do? Let me go! Do you know who I am?"

No matter how much he yelled, Wei Ruo and others remained indifferent.

It was lunch time, and the drunken fairy house was full of guests.

The appearance of Wei Ruo and others attracted the attention of many guests in the store.

At the same time, the waiter in the store greeted him and asked about the situation.

"Excuse me, a few guest officers, what is the situation?"

"Is your boss in the store?" Wei Ruo stepped forward to ask.

"Young master, do you have anything to do with our boss?" Xiaoer asked.

"We caught a few hooligans. They said they were ordered by your boss to come to your house to make trouble. I'll come to your boss to ask about the situation." Wei Ruo said.

Hearing this, the shop waiter and the customers in the shop all showed incredible expressions.

What is the origin of this young man? He is not very young, but he is quite courageous.

Does he think that the person who can open a restaurant like Zuixianju in Taizhou Prefecture will be a simple person?

Everyone knows that the backstage of the boss of Zuixianju is not simple.

Provocation at the door, isn't he afraid of getting into trouble?

Wei Ruo looked calm, neither humble nor overbearing: "Is your boss in the shop now?"

The waiter in the shop looked embarrassed, at this time the shopkeeper came over, smiled and said to Wei Ruo: "Young master, I'm sorry our boss doesn't see anyone else, as for the person you brought, our boss doesn't know him either, I miss you Maybe something went wrong."

Chapter 160 Boss Fan

"I also hope that I made a mistake, but just to be on the safe side, I still want to ask your boss face to face, otherwise I can only **** this person to the government office to file a complaint. When the time comes, the people from the government office will come and invite your boss If not, the scene might be even worse." Wei Ruo said.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper's expression became even more embarrassed.

He subconsciously looked towards a certain location on the second floor.

Wei Ruo noticed his expression, followed his gaze, and saw the box with the word "Heting" written on the door on the second floor.

"Since everything has been done, don't be afraid of others coming to the door. Did you rely on this method to become the first floor of Taizhou Mansion?"

After Wei Ruo finished speaking, there was no movement in the box, and the lobby was also very quiet.

After a while, just when Wei Ruo thought he would not see anyone today and was about to turn around and go to the yamen, the door of the box opened...

A young man came out from the inside, with a jade face and a crown, holding a folding fan, with a handsome demeanor.

When everyone in the lobby saw the man, their expressions immediately changed.

Especially Li Biao, who was brought over by Wei Ruo to make trouble, his eyes widened and his expression was terrified.

Wei Ruo could see the respect and even awe of men from everyone's expressions.

With a smile on his face, the man looked down at Wei Ruo in the lobby on the first floor.

Wei Ruo met the man's gaze, neither dodging nor dodging.

The corner of the man's mouth raised, and then his eyes shifted to Li Biao who was brought over by Wei Ruo.

"I also want to know who is doing evil in the name of my Zui Xianju."

Being stared at by the man, Li Biao's expression became more and more wrong, and he hurriedly lowered his head to avoid his gaze.

The whole person seemed visibly panicked.

Immediately afterwards, the man on the second floor said to the entourage standing behind him: "Go and check, who did it."

"Yes, my lord." The entourage went downstairs immediately and came to Li Biao.

As soon as the followers approached, Li Biao suddenly panicked.

Before the entourage could speak, Li Biao himself explained: "Don't, don't beat me. He Ji's Boss He paid me to hire me! It was also he who asked me to claim that it was Zuixianju's order, saying that the other party would be easily dismissed. ! I'm just doing things for money!"

He Ji is a shop located on the west side of the street. It is also a lo-mei shop, and it also sells some nuts and preserved foods.

Immediately afterwards, Li Biao begged for mercy to the man on the second floor: "My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me, I won't dare next time!"

The man on the second floor had a cold expression, and said to Wei Ruo, "Young master, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Everyone sweated for Wei Ruo.

"No problem, if this person is willing to tell the truth earlier, I don't have to come here to bother the boss." Wei Ruo said.

"Well, indeed. You came to me first instead of directly reporting to the official, which is considered to be respecting me." The man chuckled.

"Thank you for your understanding, my lord, then I won't bother you, let me leave." Wei Ruo said.

Wei Ruo intends to turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute," the man on the second floor said again.

This shout made everyone in the hall feel excited.

This young man wanted to leave after he provoked Mr. Fan, which is too simple.

It seems that this young man is going to be in bad luck.

Wei Ruo turned his head and looked at the second floor again, with calm eyes.

"Are you the owner of Xu Ji Braised Food Shop?" the man on the second floor asked Wei Ruo.

"Yes." Wei Ruo admitted.

"Your shop does a good job of lo mei," said the man.

"Thank you for your approval, young master. Come visit me more when you have time. In order to thank you for helping me find out the truth, I will give you a discount." Wei Ruo replied.

"Okay." The man on the second floor agreed, with a faint smile on his face, which made people puzzled.

Then Wei Ruo left, and Boss Fan also returned to the box.

The people in the lobby were left in amazement.

It seems that Boss Fan is not only not angry with the young man, but also very interested in this young man!

And even Boss Fan praised Xu Ji's lo-mei shop's lo-mei, so the lo-mei in this store must be very special!

Coming out of Zuixianju, Li Biao was obviously relieved, knowing that Wei Ruo was going to send him to the Yamen, he didn't feel as scared as when he met the boss of Zuixianju.

Wei Ruo asked Li Biao: "It seems that you are very afraid of the boss of Zuixianju."

Li Biao: "Nonsense! Boss Fan wants to settle accounts with me, a hundred times is not enough to kill me!"

Wei Ruo: "Then you still dare to use his name to harm others?"

Li Biao: "How did I know that you dared to confront him directly! How did I know that today you were so lucky that Boss Fan was in the restaurant and met you! You know that Boss Fan has a lot of things going on every day, how do I know that he will take care of it?" Come on me!"

Wei Ruo: "It sounds like Boss Fan is very powerful."

Li Biao: "Of course he is amazing! You don't even know what kind of person he is, so you run to confront him, right?"

Wei Ruo: "I'm not looking for him to cause trouble, it's reasonable. If he didn't do it, I can still clear his innocence; if he did it, no matter how powerful he is, I can't persuade him."

Although Wei Ruo didn't know the details of Boss Fan very well, he had heard about it before going.

It is precisely because she knows that the other party is a powerful person that she will do this.

Wei Ruo took Li Biao to the government office, but within two steps, a short and fat man stopped Wei Ruo and the others.

"Boss He!" Li Biao shouted excitedly, as if seeing a savior.

When Li Biao yelled, Wei Ruo knew that the middle-aged man blocking the way was the one who hired Li Biao to trouble them.

"He Ji's Boss He, right?" Wei Ruo asked while examining the other party.

"It's me!" Boss He raised his head with an arrogant attitude.

"That's just right. Boss He, please go to the Yamen with me." Wei Ruo said.

"Who are you? You still want me to go to the Yamen with you?" Boss He looked contemptuous.

"I'm the owner of Xu Ji Braised Meat Shop that you smashed." Wei Ruo said.

"Who smashed your shop? Don't just talk about it, you are full of nonsense, nonsense, and don't know what to say at a young age!"

"Is it nonsense, Boss He went to the Yamen with me to confront him, so you know?" Wei Ruo said.

"Who wants to go to the Yamen with you, do you think I have the same leisure and time as you? I am very busy!"

"Since Boss He is so busy, what are you doing blocking our way? No matter how I look at you, you are quite free." Wei Ruo smiled.

"You care so much about me!" Boss He said angrily.

"Then why do you care about me?" Wei Ruo asked back.

"I can't stand your bullying. What are you doing holding Li Biao alone? You should let him go now, or don't blame me for being rude." Boss He said arrogantly.

As he spoke, Boss He greeted his buddies, seven or eight of them were holding brooms and shovels, aggressively.
