Chapter 241 The next door village came to ask Wei Ruo for help

Master Xu not only helped them so much, but also gave them such a good opportunity, he must grasp it well.

"Yes." Wei Ruo nodded.

Wei Ruo will leave Stone Village after talking with Shi Dayou.

However, when we walked to the entrance of Stone Village, we met a large group of people. There were dozens of people, men, women and children.

Wei Ruo didn't know these people, so they should be farmers nearby.

"Master Xu, please help us!"

As soon as they met, these people begged Wei Ruo, and they also flocked to Wei Ruo.

Xiumei took a step forward and stood in front of Wei Ruo: "Speak well if you have something to say, don't lean in!"

Shi Dayou also took a step forward, and said loudly to everyone: "Calm down, big guy. If you have something to say, let's stand away from it!"

Shi Dayou recognized that the people who came were from Xiaoxi Village next door to them, and there was a mountain across from their village. If you walk around the foot of the mountain, you only need to walk for half an hour.

Xiumei's scolding and Shi Dayou's words played a certain role. These people stopped in their tracks, stepped back a little, and put some distance between them and Wei Ruo.

Then these people began to explain their intentions in a hurry:

"We are here to ask Mr. Xu for help. The seedlings in our field are all dead, and now the new seedlings can't catch up!"

"Yes, yes, we heard that Mr. Xu has a way to help us!"

"Master Xu, please do me a favor and save us! We won't be able to eat this year!"

A group of people spoke together, chattering, and Wei Ruo understood what they were trying to express after listening for a while. Their seedlings died, and they came to ask her for help.

Although Wei Ruo didn't remember the faces of these people, but listening to their narration, he knew that they were persuaded by Wei Ruo before but did not listen to Wei Ruo's words.

Because Wei Ruo visited the surrounding farmland at that time and found that there were bakanae disease, and tried to persuade the other party to raise seedlings again.

Whoever heard Wei Ruo's words must have changed the seedlings by now, and whoever comes to beg Wei Ruo now must have not listened to it at the time.

Wei Ruo looked at these people and said loudly, "Be quiet."

After Wei Ruo shouted, everyone stopped and looked at Wei Ruo.

Seeing that there were no more noisy voices, Wei Ruo answered everyone directly:

"I have already told you what I should say. If you don't raise seedlings again, it will be too late when something happens. So now that this situation has happened, it is useless for you to ask me again."

Hearing the words, the crowd immediately retorted:

"Why is there no way? We have all heard that you gave Shitou Village a batch of good rice seeds, saying that rice can be grown even if it is planted late, and the yield is still high!"

"Yes, yes, you obviously have rice seeds! You can help us!"

"Master Xu, if there is no harvest this year, we will all starve to death! You can't be so cruel, you don't care about our life or death!"

However, these people who came to Wei Ruo firmly believed that Wei Ruo had a way to help them.

"Sorry, I can't help you." Wei Ruo replied.

"Mr. Xu, you're just dying! How can you be so cruel? You want to watch us all die in front of you!" An old man leaned on a cane and slammed the ground a few times. .

"Yes, how can you be so cruel! Our children are still so young, how can you bear to watch them starve to death!" The woman held her child in her arms with a resentful expression on her face.

"Mr. Xu, we all know about your help to Shitou Village, and you can't hide it! Don't lie to us again." A strong man shouted with a hoe.

Although the ancient news is not well developed, there is no shortage of people who can spread the news. Recently, the news that Stone Village has lived a good life with the help of a "rich businessman" has spread among several nearby villages.

Xiaoxi Village is close to Shitou Village, so the villagers naturally heard about these things, and they also heard that Mr. Xu, a wealthy businessman, is a generous and kind person who has given Shitou Village various benefits. The planting is good, and there are other money to get, and the life is very good, and others are envious.

Although Wei Ruo didn't know how these people knew that they had late rice seeds in their hands, Wei Ruo said in the face of several people's requests: "It's fine if you want late rice seeds. I can help you inquire about whether you can buy late rice seeds." You can buy it at the market price, but I don't know if it's too late to raise seedlings after you buy it back now."

Hearing Wei Ruo's words, the faces of everyone in Xiaoxi Village immediately turned down.

"Master Xu, why do you still care about the money we need for rice seeds when you are so rich?"

"Yes, yes, and you didn't even ask for money from Stone Village, so why do you want money from us?"

"Young Master Xu, you are a good man, do it to the end, you have helped the people of Shitou Village, so you can help us as well. We will be as grateful to you as the people of Shitou Village for the rest of our lives!"

Wei Ruo was unmoved, and had a clear attitude: "Whom I want to give it to is my business. Rice seeds don't fall from the sky. They are sold for money. If you want them, you can buy them with money."

"This...how do we have any money? We can't survive this day!"

"That's right, I can't even eat, where did you get the money to buy your rice seeds! You can't be too black-hearted, Mr. Xu! Isn't it just a matter of a few bags of rice seeds for you? That's our life!"

"Mr. Xu, you are a good person and will do it to the end. Help us. I will bring my child to kowtow to you!"

Wei Ruo listened to the words of these people, still expressionless: "Don't you know that I am a businessman? A businessman is just to make money, who cares whether you live or die? When did I say that I am a good person?"

The few who were about to kneel and kowtow to Wei Ruo froze immediately.

"But...but you are not helping Stone Village..."

"Everyone gets what they need. They are working for me. I pay them, but you don't help me make money. Why do I care what you do?" Wei Ruo asked.

Wei Ruo has such a temper, she is willing to take the initiative to help those in need, but if the other party asks her to do good deeds, her rebellious psychology will come up, and she will be a bad person instead of a good person as they say!

After Wei Ruo finished speaking, everyone in Xiaoxi Village was dumbfounded.

After a brief moment of stupefaction, the villagers of Xiaoxi Village surrounded Wei Ruo again:

"Young Master Xu, you can't just ignore death like this!"

"Young Master Xu, you helped Stone Village and you should help us too!"

"You are rich and powerful, and you don't need such a little money!"

"Master Xu, if you don't agree to help us today, we will kneel down until you agree!"

They said they were begging, but the crowd surrounded Wei Ruo as if they wanted to force her to help by force.

The author didn't abandon the pit, it's just that it was sunburned, and it burned repeatedly for several days.

Chapter 242 I don't like this set

Shi Dayou hurriedly blocked the crowd and said, "Calm down, everyone! Mr. Xu is right, he has no obligation to help us all! We can't force Mr. Xu to help!"

Shi Dayou's voice was loud, but he didn't scare everyone in Xiaoxi Village.

Instead of listening to Shi Dayou's words, they mocked Shi Dayou:

"Of course you say that, the benefits are all for the people of Stone Village!"

"That's right, or else you give us the seedlings in your field, and see if you still say that!"

"Shi Dayou can't be so selfish, you can't just think about the good of your Shitou Village, and ignore other people's lives!"

"That's right, your surname Shi is happy, and you don't look at us. Look at how hungry my baby is?"

Everyone accused Shi Dayou one after another. Shi Dayou didn't know how to respond for a while, but he stood firmly in front of Wei Ruo, preventing the villagers from Xiaoxi Village from approaching Wei Ruo.

However, there are too many people, and Shi Dayou is powerless.

Seeing that these people were about to rush to Wei Ruo, the villagers of Stone Village rushed over in a mighty manner.

They came to Wei Ruo's side and protected Wei Ruo in the middle.

Although the villagers of Shitou Village who arrived just now didn't know what happened, they saw the people of Xiaoxi Village surrounding their benefactor Mr. Xu, feeling that his benefactor was in danger, so they hurriedly surrounded him.

For a while, people from the two villages confronted each other, yelling at each other, and there were some small physical touches.

After arguing like this for a while, the people of Xiaoxi Village were defeated because they did not have the upper hand in numbers. They had to retreat and distance themselves from the people of Shitou Village, not daring to make any more moves.

But these people were still a little unconvinced and didn't want to just leave, so they sued Shi Dayou and the villagers of Shitou Village:

"You people in Stone Village are too selfish, you only care about yourself, and you don't even know how to help others!"

"That's right, you stone village people are too much! When people in our village starved to death, we carried all the corpses to the entrance of your village!"

"Thanks to the good relationship between our Xiaoxi Village and your Stone Village for so many years! You are so desperate!"

Facing the accusations of everyone in Xiaoxi Village, Shi Dayou and the villagers of Shitou Village have no good way to do it, and they can't really fight. The two villages are close to each other, so it's not good if there is a lot of trouble.

Wei Ruo said to Xiumei: "Meimei, whoever you see is the loudest, let me sneak out of that person!"

"Good!" Xiumei nodded.

Xiumei observed the people in Xiaoxi Village, and then she spotted a big man. She strode up and dragged the man out of the crowd. Down, and then the man became weak and groaned.

At this moment, the villagers of Xiaoxi Village, who had been making noise just now, fell silent, and looked at Er Niu who was pinned to the ground helplessly with a look of surprise.

Erniu is the strongest man in their village, and he can stand up to three on weekdays.

But now, he was pinned to the ground by a thin follower beside Mr. Xu, unable to move.

The few people who were still muttering at first are afraid to speak now.

Not only the people in Xiaoxi Village were shocked, but the villagers in Shitou Village also showed surprise expressions when they saw this scene.

It turned out that Mr. Xu's attendants, who looked thin and weak, were so powerful! You really can't tell what you look like!

Wei Ruo took the reactions of the people in Xiaoxi Village into his eyes, and then said to everyone with a calm expression and a stern voice: "What I promise Heyou, I will give it if I want, and if I don't want to give it, no one can take it away. It's your business to suffer, not mine, so don't threaten me with these things, I don't take that kind of thing."

"As for the matter of the seedlings, when you chose not to believe me, you should be prepared to bear the corresponding consequences. The choice is made by yourself, and the result must be borne by yourself. Just because you are weak does not mean that you are reasonable, and because you are suffering does not mean that Others should help you."

Then Wei Ruo pointed to the man controlled by Xiumei on the ground and said: "You have also seen that I, Xu Heyou, are not so easy to mess with. Today my followers are just demonstrating. You're welcome no more."

People in Xiaoxi Village looked at Wei Ruo, a little unwilling, but this time they dared not speak out to refute.

Then Wei Ruo gave Xiumei a look, Xiumei understood and let the man on the ground go.

The man struggled to get up, stumbled and ran back to the villagers of Xiaoxi Village, and looked at Wei Ruo and Xiumei without the arrogance just now, only fear.

Everyone in Xiaoxi Village looked at me and I looked at you, everyone was silent, and finally they could only leave in disgrace.

After everyone in Xiaoxi Village walked away, Shi Dayou stepped forward to apologize to Wei Ruo: "I'm sorry Mr. Xu, I surprised you."

"You don't need to apologize, and it has nothing to do with you." Wei Ruo said.

Dayou Shi looked at Wei Ruo, as if he wanted to ask a question. After hesitating for a while, he chose to ask.

"Mr. Xu, is there really nothing to do about the rice seedlings?"

"You want me to help them?" Wei Ruo asked back.

"Don't dare, I don't mean that. Mr. Xu can help if he wants to. It's our blessing to be able to help. If we don't help, we don't dare to ask extravagantly." Shi Dayou hurriedly explained.

After a pause, Shi Dayou said again: "Master Xu, actually... the people in Xiaoxi Village are not as rude as what Mr. Xu saw just now, most of the people in the village are still very good people. Like the people in our village, they work **** the fields, waiting for a year's harvest to support their families. If the seedlings are all dead, they may really..."

Understanding the meaning of Shi Dayou's words, Wei Ruo replied: "It's really too late to plant the late rice seeds I gave you. But if I really want to help them, there are many things to consider."

"Xiaoxi Village is not the only one affected by the disaster now. If I rashly agreed to help just now, more people will come to me in the future. Since I can't ensure that I have enough ability to solve the whole thing, I Don't be generous."

"So that's the case." Shi Dayou nodded hurriedly, and after hearing Mr. Xu's account, he understood that Mr. Xu also had many concerns, and it was because he was thinking superficially.

"You should do what you are doing first, and I will consider the matter of the villages affected by bakanae disease." Wei Ruo said to Shi Dayou.

"Okay, okay, thank you Mr. Xu, thank you Mr. Xu." Shi Dayou hurriedly said.

"Okay, it's getting late, I should go back, and you should hurry up and go about your own affairs."

Shi Dayou nodded repeatedly, then watched Wei Ruo and Xiumei leave.

Chapter 243 Selling Late Rice Seeds

After Wei Ruo left, Shi Dayou asked the villagers to go back to work in the fields, while he returned home with a **** on his shoulder.

The contracting matter Mr. Xu told him just now is his top priority right now.

After returning home, Shi Dayou called several prestigious old people in the village to his home, told them in detail about the cooperation with Mr. Xu, and asked for their opinions.

The elders are very supportive of this. There is no stipulation on the amount of rent to be paid, and only half of the rent is paid.

Moreover, the labor force in their village already has some leftovers. If they can be twisted together and make some other livelihoods, maybe everyone can have a prosperous year this year!

The elders confessed to Shi Dayou one after another, asking him to treat Xu Heyou well. The people in their village have no other skills and livelihoods, and they don't know how to deal with the city people to make money. Now someone is willing to give them a hand and give them a way to survive. , they must take good care of and cherish it.

With the approval of the elders in the village, Shi Dayou then sent a message back to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo didn't delay either. After all, time waits for no one, and the land in spring doesn't wait for anyone, so it has to be reclaimed and planted immediately.

So Wei Ruo immediately signed a relevant contract document with the people in Stone Village.

On the day the signing was signed, Shi Dayou took the selected people to work on the sandy land that Wei Ruo had purchased.

In selecting personnel, Shi Dayou also took into account many factors. The first principle is voluntariness. Some families have less labor force, and their own fields are too busy to support them. Naturally, they cannot take care of other jobs.

However, some families have less land, less land and more brothers, so they are eager to win this new opportunity to make money.

On the basis of everyone's voluntary registration, Shi Dayou will make some coordination with several village elders: for example, if there are three applicants in the family, one or two places will be given according to the family situation, and strive to distribute as many places as possible. .

But because the surprises of various companies are still relatively large, it is definitely not possible to achieve a complete average.

Fortunately, Shi Dayou, the village chief, and the elders in the village presided over the overall situation, and the villagers were quite satisfied with the final result.

Then, this part of the villagers went to the large sandy land that Wei Ruo bought and started working: weeding, clearing stones, turning the soil, and fertilizing properly.

Wei Ruo paid attention to the matter of late rice seedlings. Two days later, after calculating many factors, Wei Ruo sent someone to go to a village trapped by bakanae disease to advertise that she had late rice seeds. in time.

After hearing the news, the villagers rushed to Wei Ruo's village.

Outside the gate of Wei Ruo's Zhuangzi, there are many bulging sacks piled up on the ground outside the wall, and there are still people moving sacks out of the Zhuangzi at the moment.

The first few villagers who arrived first saw the sacks and their eyes lit up. They guessed that the sacks contained the late rice seeds they wanted.

But the seven or eight tall and strong men standing next to these sacks made them dare not step forward easily.

At this time, when Wei Ruo came out of Zhuangzi, several villagers couldn't help but gather around and ask.

"Mr. Xu, I heard that you have rice seeds that can be planted and live now. Is it true?" An old man asked Wei Ruo cautiously.

Wei Ruo saw that the old man looked familiar, and after thinking for a while, she remembered that she met him when she went to Mrs. Xu's farm. She persuaded him to change the seedlings, but the other party said she was cursing them.

It was also the only time that Wei Ruo used Wei Qingruo's identity to remind farmers about this matter. Later, when Wei Ruo went to other villages to remind others, Wei Ruo used Xu Heyou's identity.

So the old man didn't know that the person in front of him was the person he despised and cursed back then.

But it doesn't matter if you know it or not. Wei Ruo didn't plan to settle accounts with anyone, and treated everyone who came today equally.

"It's true." Wei Ruo gave an affirmative answer.

Hearing the affirmative answer, several people were overjoyed.

Immediately afterwards, they showed conflicted expressions. After hesitating for a while, the old man asked Wei Ruo cautiously:

"Master Xu, can you share this rice seed with us?"

"Want rice seeds?" Wei Ruo looked at the people in front of him.

Several people nodded quickly.

"Rice seeds are for sale, not for free." Wei Ruo said.

"Sell?"

The light in the eyes of several people dimmed instantly when they heard the request for money.

Several people glanced at each other, and then the old man continued to ask Wei Ruo the price: "Mr. Xu, how do you sell this rice seed?"

"Ten coins a catty." Wei Ruo replied.

This is the original price of these rice seeds. Wei Ruo didn't deliberately raise the price. It was also the price that Wei Ruo sold to Yun's before.

The millet used as a rice seed is carefully selected, with full grains and excellent appearance. Naturally, it is slightly more expensive than ordinary millet.

Even ordinary millet produced from these rice seeds can be sold for a hundred cents a bucket in Wei Ruo's Xuji Grain Store after shelling.

However, upon hearing this answer, the expressions of the people in front of Wei Ruo changed.

"Mr. Xu, you are selling it too expensive!" The old man looked annoyed, "The rice that has been shelled is only a few pennies a catty, how can you buy ten pennies for your rice seeds?"

One mu of land needs three to five catties of rice seed. Generally, if a family has three to five mu of land, the rice seed will cost as much as ninety.

This fee is beyond the reach of many farmers. In the past two years, everyone has had a hard time. The family is almost unable to open the pot. In addition, they have spent a lot of money on the seedlings that have just died. How can they spend so much money? Money to buy this rice seed.

Several other people also seconded:

"Yes, Mr. Xu, you are too expensive, how can you sell such expensive rice seeds?"

"Besides, what if the rice you plant doesn't work well, and you still can't harvest it this year?"

"That is, you said that this is a late rice plant, and that it can also benefit from late planting, but we don't know if it is true."

Wei Ruo said unhurriedly: "It doesn't matter if you can't afford it. I have a second solution. You can take away the rice seeds for free by signing a document with me. You can take as much as you need until the autumn harvest. At that time, according to the amount taken away, five times the amount of rice will be returned."

"For example, if you take ten catties of rice seeds from me, you can return me fifty catties of rice when the autumn harvest comes. Of course, if my late rice seeds are useless, and it will not catch up with the autumn harvest now, you don't need to pay me. any fees."

Wei Ruo's late rice seeds are three catties of seeds planted on one mu of land, and the yield per mu of Wei Ruo's rice species is twice that of the ordinary rice they plant. Generally speaking, the yield per mu can reach about two thousand catties, and the specific value will be subject to change. The influence of other objective factors such as weather, water and fertilizer of the year.

So Wei Ruo charged fifteen catties out of the two thousand catties.

Chapter 244 Most chose to sign the contract

Wei Ruo didn't say anything about the output of late rice seeds. Now that I tell these villagers, they may not believe them. They will just take it as her excuse to promote her own late rice seeds.

Hearing what Wei Ruo said, several people immediately fell silent.

Because this solution is more feasible for them, it does not require them to pay immediately, and it can solve their immediate problems.

It is also a good deal to exchange five catties of rice in the future for one catty of rice seeds in the present.

Several people were hesitating, and more villagers who heard the news rushed over from behind.

Xiumei explained the sales rules of late rice seed to the newly arrived villagers, and then heard someone calling for a signature.

Someone opened his mouth, and those who were still hesitating immediately followed suit: "I want to sign, I want to sign."

Everyone began to scramble to ask for signatures, for fear that the rice seeds would be snatched up by others, and they would lose their share.

Everyone knows that many farmers have been affected this time, and they don't know if Mr. Xu has enough rice seeds. It's better to arrive early and get the rice seeds in your hands as soon as possible.

Wei Ruo asked everyone not to worry, line up, and wait for the Master Registrar to arrive, then they can start signing.

The villages that were hit by the disaster recently are all located near the capital city of Taizhou, and belong to Xianlin County in terms of administrative division. Therefore, Wei Ruo invited the head of Xianlin County to be a notary.

Hearing that Wei Ruo provided late rice seeds for the common people, the people of the Xianlin county government were very active and agreed to Wei Ruo's request without hesitation.

Because of the problem caused by the bakanae disease, the county government is plagued by it. From the county magistrate to the head book, everyone is worried about it, fearing that it will affect their political achievements and be held accountable by the magistrate.

Although Wei Ruo's move is a business, it is also a real solution to help Xianlin County solve the problem.

After the master book arrived, not only Wei Ruo had an extra layer of security, but the villagers also felt more at ease. With people from the government testifying, they are not afraid that Xu Heyou will deceive them.

After the sale started, it lasted until dusk.

Most of the villagers chose to sign a document to return five times the amount of rice when the autumn harvest came. Only a small number of villagers paid on the spot.

Wei Ruo sold out all the rice seeds in a warehouse prepared by Wei Ruo, in exchange for a contract for a box.

Master Wu of Xianlin County was very happy and said to Wei Ruo: "Young Master Xu is really a kind person with the common people in mind."

"Master Wu is overrated, I'm just a businessman." Wei Ruo replied.

"No and no. If you are really a businessman, Mr. Xu can just sell money, and there will be no second method. After all, this second method is much more troublesome than the first one." Master Wu commented.

Wei Ruo smiled. She did not deny this, but at the same time, she also knew that if the second option was not provided, many villagers would be forced to give up buying due to concerns or objective conditions.

This is beneficial to her personally, to the farmers suffering from bakanae disease, and even to the agriculture of Taizhou Prefecture.

Two days later, Agui arrived at the gate of Wei Ruo's village with an ox cart full of sweet potato vines.

The sweet potato vines used for cuttings this year are mainly planted in Xiaoyang Mountain. After the vines grow well, Agui is responsible for transporting them.

While the workers in Zhuangzi were unloading, Agui and Wei Ruo reported the situation on Xiaoyang Mountain.

"Miss, this year's vines are growing very well, enough care! Xiaoyang Mountain is almost planted, and there are still a few acres of vines that have not been harvested." Agui reported to Wei Ruohui.

"I may have to trouble you to make another trip in two days, and send me three carts of ready-made vines." Wei Ruo said.

"Miss told me whether it's troublesome or not, this is what I should do!" Agui said happily.

Without the support of the young lady, he and Xiao Ba are just ordinary long-term workers in the Wei family's village in Xingshan County.

With Miss' support, he and Xiao Ba resigned from their jobs in the Zhuangzi over there when Xiaowei's residence was moved to Fucheng, and went to work on Xiaoyang Mountain purchased by Miss. Help Wei Ruo do things.

Now not only can I get more wages every month, but my life is also more promising.

"Is Xiaoyang Mountain doing well recently?" Wei Ruo asked.

"Miss, don't worry, everything on Xiaoyang Mountain is fine, and everything is done according to the lady's instructions. Now sweet potatoes have been planted mainly, and some other vegetables have been planted in some fields at the foot of the mountain. The current growth is quite good. Everyone works very hard and is very confident in this year's harvest." Agui explained.

"Very good. By the way, what's the situation in the south of the city?" Wei Ruo asked.

Wei Ruo is no longer in charge of the southern part of the city, but it was developed from a barren land under Wei Ruo's advocacy. Wei Ruo still hopes that the people there can live well.

"The wheat in the south of the city is growing very well, and everyone is looking forward to it, seeing that it will soon reach maturity." Agui replied.

"Are the pioneers over there doing well recently? Can they still eat?" Wei Ruo asked.

Wheat still takes some time to mature, and most of the people who went to the south of the city to open up wasteland have no family background, so I don't know if they can survive.

"Miss, don't worry, they are still able to eat at the moment. Mr. Qian made the decision and asked them to give part of the wheat harvest in the field to the county government. The county government predicted part of their money and let them have money to buy food. You can still live." Agui replied.

"That's good." In this way, Wei Ruo can feel relieved.

"The folks in the south of the city miss you very much, Miss. I have been to the south of the city several times and they always ask me when I can see you again." Agui said.

Wei Ruo nodded with a smile. As for when he will go back to Xingshan County, Wei Ruo himself does not know.

After getting the sweet potato vines, Wei Ruo asked people to transport the sweet potato vines to the sandy land she bought, and handed them over to the villagers who contracted the stone village here to start farming.

The villagers moved very quickly. In the past few days, the wild grass and rocks on the sandy ground have been cleared in sevens and eighties. Now that the vines have arrived, they can just start the work of cuttings and planting.

Wei Ruo is very satisfied with the work of the villagers in Stone Village. According to their attitude, Wei Ruo doesn't need to worry too much about the follow-up progress of this sandy land.

Wei Ruo also brought dried sweet potatoes, and Xiumei shared some with everyone.

Villagers who tasted dried sweet potatoes all said that it was delicious. Farmers usually have no chance to eat sweets. Such sweet potatoes are sweet and sticky, which is a delicacy they rarely tasted.

"If it is delicious, plant it well. After the sweet potato is grown, I will teach you how to make such a dried sweet potato, which is easy to store and not easy to mold." Wei Ruo said to everyone.

Hearing this, everyone became more motivated, as if they could already see the grand scene of sweet and glutinous sweet potatoes growing in the ground.

Chapter 245 Fan Chengxu's Careful Thoughts

After delivering the dried sweet potatoes to the villagers, Wei Ruo took Xiumei to the winery.

Wei Ruo brought some refreshing pickled plums to everyone.

The work in the brewery is much harder than other small workshops. A lot of it is manual work, and they have to face the hot boiler all day long.

At this time, eating something dry and sticky like dried sweet potatoes is naturally hard to swallow, and crisp plums are more suitable.

Several people gnawed on the plums while thanking Wei Ruo.

"Boss, you are really kind to us!"

"Boss, don't worry, we will make wine as soon as possible!"

"That's right, we will brew wine as soon as possible to let the owner earn money!"

The more they talked, the more excited they became, and then they stopped eating plums, and returned to their posts one after another, continuing to work.

Wei Ruo smiled, and then inspected the brewery, checking every link to ensure that there were no mistakes.

After inspecting the work progress of the brewery, Wei Ruo set off back to Fucheng, visited the Braised Meat Shop and Sibaozhai, and then went to Zuixianju.

Because Fan Chengxu sent someone to send a letter to her, saying that he needed to find her.

Wei Ruo stepped into the door of Zuixianju, and was warmly welcomed in by Xiao Er, and then was taken to the private box exclusively for Fan Chengxu in the corner of the second floor.

"Mr. Xu, please wait a moment. I will inform you when I'm young."

Wei Ruo nodded, and then sat down at the window seat.

Xiumei stood behind Wei Ruo, and asked Wei Ruo in a low voice: "Miss, what do you think Boss Fan will do when he finds you?"

"It's probably related to making money." Wei Ruo guessed.

After working together during this period, Wei Ruo feels that Fan Chengxu is an out-and-out businessman who loves money, and what makes him worry about it is mostly related to money.

"The servant is worried, maybe Boss Fan is doing it for Zhu..."

After Wei Ruo told Xiumei her conjecture last time, Xiumei began to feel a little scared, so that now that Fan Chengxu invites her, Xiumei can't help but think about it.

"It's unlikely." Wei Ruo's intuition told her so.

And if it really has something to do with that person, she can't hide even if she wants to.

So Wei Ruo agreed after only thinking for a while after receiving the news.

Wei Ruo only waited for a while, and then Fan Chengxu came. She wears a blue brocade robe and never leaves her hand with a folding fan.

Fan Chengxu greeted Wei Ruo with a smile as soon as he entered the door: "Mr. Xu, long time no see."

"Boss Fan." Wei Ruo stood up to greet him.

"Young Master Xu, please sit down, you are welcome." Fan Chengxu sat down on the seat opposite Wei Ruo, and then poured tea for Wei Ruo, "This is the new Longjing tea this year, Young Master Xu, try it."

Wei Ruo didn't do anything, but asked: "Is there something important that Boss Fan asked me for?"

Fan Chengxu smiled: "It's not important, just chatting with Mr. Xu. By the way, I heard that Mr. Xu recently sold a lot of late rice seeds?"

Wei Ruo nodded: "It is true."

The disturbance of this matter is not too big, and it is not too small, Fan Chengxu will know that it is normal.

"Where did Mr. Xu's rice seeds come from? I don't know why there are such good rice seeds." Fan Chengxu asked.

"It came from Huzhou Prefecture, and the people there have been planting it for two years, but it hasn't been extended to Taizhou Prefecture yet." Wei Ruo explained.

Fan Chengxu smiled: "It seems that I am not well-informed enough, and my business acumen is not developed enough, so I failed to catch up."

"Boss Fan is overrated. If Boss Fan says he has no business acumen, then no one in the entire Taizhou Prefecture dares to say that he knows how to do business." Wei Ruo said.

"I also heard that Mr. Xu has recently purchased a lot of sandy land that no one wants, and is he planning to plant crops on the sandy land?" Fan Chengxu asked again.

"It's true. If you try something, you may not succeed. I hope Boss Fan won't laugh at you." Wei Ruo replied.

"In addition, I also heard that the wheat on Mr. Xu's Zhuangzi is about to mature, and according to the growth trend, there will be a good harvest." Fan Chengxu said again.

"With Boss Fan's auspicious words, I also hope for a good harvest." Wei Ruo replied.

"It seems that Mr. Xu is not only an excellent businessman, but also very proficient in farming." Fan Chengxu commented.

Wei Ruo just smiled and said nothing, lowered his head and quietly took a sip of the freshly brewed Longjing tea, waiting for Fan Chengxu's follow-up.

Fan Chengxu definitely didn't come to her just to compliment her. As for the purpose, let him speak slowly.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Chengxu pointed to the Longjing tea on the table and said: "Mr. Xu, do you know how much this Longjing tea sells for a catty?"

Wei Ruo looked at it and said, "Is it before tomorrow, before the rain or after?"

"Mr. Xu is knowledgeable." Fan Chengxu said with a smile, "This is before the rain, what do you think of Mr. Xu?"

"The taste is fresh and strong, and the shape is straight and beautiful, which is the top grade." Wei Ruo commented.

If it was made before the Ming Dynasty, it is even more cherished and regarded as a treasure. However, before the Ming Dynasty, tea leaves generally would not flow into the market, and most of them would be taken by local officials as tribute to the palace.

Fan Chengxu asked again: "Then Mr. Xu, do you know how much silver one or two to buy for the Longjing before the rain?"

"Although I have never bought it, I have heard that it is expensive. Depending on the quality of the product, it costs anywhere from ten taels to fifty taels of silver." Wei Ruo replied.

"Not bad, Mr. Xu is really knowledgeable. When I bought this crop, the price was one tael of tea and thirty taels of silver." Fan Chengxu laughed.

Fan Chengxu looked at Wei Ruo with an unabated smile on his face, and a pair of fox-like eyes showed a sly light.

"Boss Fan didn't come to me just to praise my business acumen and test my ability to appreciate tea, right?" Wei Ruo said.

"I don't know if Mr. Xu, who is proficient in farming, has done any research on planting tea? Do you know how to make the tea on the tea tree grow better and make the tea have a good color and fragrance?"

Fan Chengxu finally brought the topic to the main topic.

"Boss Fan has a tea garden?" Wei Ruo asked.

"Yes, I have two tea gardens in Taizhou Prefecture, covering an area of more than 100 mu." Fan Chengxu replied.

Hearing the words, Wei Ruo suddenly understood, and guessed the general situation.

Tea is a profitable industry, and Fan Chengxu wants to get involved. But his tea garden doesn't seem to be very good, and recently he heard something about her, so he guessed that she might be able to help him, so he wanted to cooperate with her.

To be honest, tea is really attractive to Wei Ruo, but Wei Ruo himself doesn't have such great ability to do it.

The initial investment in tea is very large. Tea trees cannot grow well in one or two years, and the follow-up costs are also high.

The most important point is the issue of sales.

Ordinary people don't drink tea, and ordinary families, such as Xiaowei's Mansion, will only drink some ordinary tea.

People like Fan Chengxu don't come to Longjing to drink much before soaking in the rain. These people are either rich or expensive, and they will not easily change tea and purchase channels.

Chapter 246 Just finished a battle

Wei Ruo thought for a while, and said, "Boss Fan, is it a little hasty to believe that I have the ability to help you manage tea gardens and develop tea just based on the rumors you've heard?"

Although those few things can reflect her understanding of agriculture to a certain extent, they seem to be far from being able to help Fan Chengxu's tea business.

"It's true that I can't, but I'm willing to bet. I don't like to do business step by step. I'm too disciplined. I like taking risks and I like to gamble."

Fan Chengxu still looked at Wei Ruo with a smile.

Originally, he planned to ask Xu Heyou to help him get rid of the necrotic seedlings on his farm, so as to judge whether he was qualified and whether he wanted to talk about tea cooperation with him.

After all, tea cooperation is not a trivial matter.

But what Xu Heyou has done recently made him give up this idea directly. He is willing to take a gamble. As long as Xu Heyou has the courage to take on his job, he dares to give him this opportunity to let him work in his tea garden Try it out and work with him.

"I can't answer you right now, I need to consider this matter." Wei Ruo replied.

"No problem, Mr. Xu can think about it slowly, and contact me when he thinks clearly." Fan Chengxu had a smile in his eyes and a relaxed expression.

As he said that, Fan Chengxu ordered someone to bring the latest dishes of Zuixianju for Wei Ruo to taste: "Mr. Xu, these are some new dishes that Zuixianju has recently launched. Please try them and give us your opinion."

Wei Ruo was not polite, picked up the chopsticks, and began to savor each dish carefully.

Braised fish, steamed meatballs, boiled cabbage heart...these dishes all use the seasoning provided by Wei Ruo without exception.

"Very good." Wei Ruo commented.

The chef's craftsmanship is good, and with the seasoning she provided, the taste is really good.

"Master Xu, do you think there is room for improvement?" Fan Chengxu asked again.

"I'm not sure about this. The chef at Zuixianju must know how to cook better than me, so I won't make any comments." Wei Ruo replied.

Wei Ruo has an idea, but he doesn't want to mention it. It's better to let the chef of Zuixianju study the cooking.

"Diners don't necessarily need to know how to cook to make comments."

"I really don't have any comments."

"Okay then, I won't ask any more, please take it easy, Mr. Xu." Fan Chengxu stopped asking questions, and asked Wei Ruo to have a good meal.

Wei Ruo and Fan Chengxu were having lunch together when suddenly the door opened.

Wei Ruo and Fan Chengxu looked at the door at the same time, but saw that the person who came was Chu Lan who was wearing a bamboo hat to cover his face.

The relaxed expression on Wei Ruo's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by vigilance and solemnity.

This subtle change in her expression did not escape Chu Lan's eyes, which made him feel restless.

Fan Chengxu came to his senses first, and stood up to greet him: "Why is Mr. Zhu so free to come to my place today?"

Knowing that Chu Lan had not revealed his identity to the outside world, Fan Chengxu still called him "Mr. Zhu".

Chu Lan nodded and followed Fan Chengxu into the seat.

After Chu Lan took her seat, her eyes never left Wei Ruo.

Although separated by a veil, Wei Ruo could still feel that this person was looking at him.

In the beginning, Wei Ruo was in the mood of appreciating delicious food, but now it was completely gone, and the whole person became serious and reserved.

"Boss Fan, you and your guests should have something to discuss, so I won't bother you any further." Wei Ruo got up and planned to leave.

Fan Chengxu subconsciously looked in Chu Lan's direction.

Chu Lan was just sitting there, neither moving nor speaking.

Plus not being able to see his expression, Fan Chengxu couldn't guess even if he wanted to.

So Fan Chengxu smiled and said to Wei Ruo: "Young Master Xu, please sit down, it's still early, and I'll let you make a pot of Biluochun again."

Wei Ruo shook his head: "I appreciate Boss Fan's kindness, but I still have some things to do later, so I can't delay any longer."

"Okay then, I'll send Mr. Xu off." Fan Chengxu didn't persuade much.

Fan Chengxu sent Wei Ruo to the door, and saw that their master and servant returned to the box immediately after leaving.

"Your Highness."

"What were you talking about with him just now?" Chu Lan asked.

"Talking about things that make money, His Highness also knows that I am a common man who loses money. What interests me is the things that make money."

After answering, Fan Chengxu asked Chu Lan cautiously: "What is your Highness looking for me today?"

"Nothing important." Chu Lan said.

Blood oozes from Chu Lan's right arm while speaking.

Fan Chengxu was startled and hurried forward.

"His Highness is injured?"

After confirming that the blood oozing from his arm was real, Fan Chengxu discovered that Chu Lan was injured, and the blood had already soaked his sleeves, but it was not obvious because he was wearing black clothes.

"In the past half a month, we have experienced a battle with the Japanese pirates. Although the opponent ended in a big defeat, our side suffered heavy losses." Chu Lan said without changing his face.

"I'll find a doctor for you!" Fan Chengxu didn't dare to delay, he couldn't let something happen to Chu Lan with him.

"No need. It's nothing serious. I've already taken the medicine."

The injuries he suffered on the battlefield this time are nothing compared to the injuries he suffered in the last sneak attack.

"But now that the blood is oozing, I'll find someone to re-bandage you."

"The medicine is available, just find someone to take it casually."

Fan Chengxu's head was buzzing: "Your Highness, you are the emperor's precious, your body is so precious, you shouldn't be so casual, if you have something good or bad, how many heads can I bear?"

"You don't need to worry about your head." Chu Lan said.

"Your Highness, now that you are injured, you should rest well and not run around." Fan Chengxu couldn't help but said.

"I don't trust other people in Taizhou Mansion, including those in the barracks." Chu Lan replied.

Fan Chengxu cursed in his heart, if you don't trust others, don't hurt me! If I die here, I will not be able to wash myself off even if I jump into the Yellow River!

"Then why didn't His Highness tell Mr. Xu just now? He is your savior, you should trust him, and he has excellent medical skills, you should let him look at this injury for you!"

Fan Chengxu wanted to order someone to chase after Wei Ruo who had just left, but was stopped by Chu Lan.

"I don't want to owe him any more." Chu Lan said.

"Didn't you give him money? He is the same as me, if you give money, it is not considered owed!" Fan Chengxu said.

"He is still different from you."

Fan Chengxu didn't know how to answer for a while, but Chu Lan insisted that he couldn't help it.

It was dusk when Wei Ruo changed back to his daughter's outfit and returned to Xiaowei's mansion. The servants in the mansion were busy busy with something.

"What's going on?" Wei Ruo grabbed a maid who was trotting towards Cangyun Garden and asked about the situation.

Chapter 247 Wei Mingting's life is dying

"Master, Master is back..."

"Father came back, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Wei Ruo asked.

"The master is covered in blood, he was carried back!"

"what happened?"

"The slaves don't know too much. I only heard that there was a battle on the front line. The master was seriously injured and the environment of the barracks was poor, so he was sent back."

Wei Mingting was injured?

Wei Ruo frowned, then quickly walked towards Cangyun Garden.

In Cangyun Garden, everyone was busy making a group.

Wei Ruo saw someone coming out of the bedroom with a basin of **** water.

Wei Ruo walked into the room quickly, and saw Wei Mingting, who had just changed his medicine and re-bandaged him, lying on the bed with a bloodless face.

His face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, lifeless, an appearance Wei Ruo had never seen before.

Because the quilt was covering him, Wei Ruo couldn't see his specific injury, and didn't know where he was injured.

Wei Ruo stood by the screen, watching the people coming and going in the room.

The military doctor came back with Wei Mingting, and there were a few soldiers standing beside him, all of whom had not taken off their armor.

Wei Ruo also saw Xu Zhengyong in it.

At this moment, the two of them are not in the mood to say hello, their minds are on Wei Mingting.

Although Xu Zhengyong hated Wei Mingting deep down in his heart, he felt that he brought his sister Ruo'er into the compound of the deep house.

But as a subordinate, he admires and admires Wei Mingting, and he doesn't want anything to happen to him from the bottom of his heart.

Yun Shi was beside her, her face was as pale as Wei Mingting's, and she asked the military doctor with a trembling voice: "How is the doctor?"

"The old woman has used all the medicines that can be used, and all the tricks that the old man can use. The old man has no other choice. Madam, please ask the doctor in the city to take a look!"

Mr. Yun hurriedly ordered Jing Hu to do so: "Quickly, go and invite the best doctor in Fucheng!"

"Ma'am, are you going to invite Dr. Cheng from Zhengyutang?" Jing Hu asked.

The most famous and experienced person in Fucheng is Dr. Cheng from Zhengyutang.

"Yes, it's him, invite him over here." Yun said hastily.

At this moment, the Yun family is already in a panic.

Jing Hu got the order and went out immediately.

During the waiting time, several soldiers came out of the room and stood outside the door, dejected.

Wei Ruo took an opportunity and called Xu Zhengyong aside for questioning.

"Brother Xiaoyong, what's going on?"

"Half a month ago, those pumpkins assembled and attacked at sea, and they were fierce. In the past half month, the enemy and us have collided many times. Although we won the battle in the end, our side suffered serious losses this time. Guarding him...he was seriously injured. "

"What about you? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Wei Ruo hurriedly checked Xu Zhengyong's situation. Xu Zhengyong's military uniform was torn in several places, and a large piece of his sleeve was directly hanging off.

"I'm fine, it's just that my clothes are a little torn, really just a little torn." Seeing Wei Ruo staring at his torn clothes, Xu Zhengyong quickly explained and emphasized.

"As long as it's okay." Wei Ruo said.

"Sister Ruo'er, is she going to save the defense herself?" Xu Zhengyong asked worriedly.

He hoped that the defense would be fine, but he didn't really want Sister Ruoer to expose herself. This kind of mood is contradictory.

"I have my own plans for this matter, you don't have to worry about it." Wei Ruo said.

Xu Zhengyong nodded, he knew that sister Ruoer had an idea.

"Go back and report to the nanny first, I'm here." Wei Ruo said.

"I'll wait for that Doctor Cheng to visit before going back." Xu Zhengyong insisted.

"Okay." Wei Ruo didn't say much.

While waiting for Dr. Cheng, Wei Qingwan who returned home also rushed to Cangyun Garden after receiving the news.

As soon as she entered the door and saw the unconscious Wei Mingting, Wei Qingwan's face turned pale, and she came to the bed.

"Mom, why is Dad like this?"

"Your father was seriously injured on the battlefield, and the military doctor said he couldn't be cured..." Yun's tears poured out, and his body was shaking with worry.

"How could this be? Daddy...he..." Wei Qingwan also panicked, and her voice began to tremble.

She looked at the bed again, her eyes were red.

Yun didn't know how to answer, she was always worried that such a thing would happen, and she always hoped that such a thing would not happen.

But it happened anyway.

The mother and daughter who didn't know what to do hugged each other sadly.

Not long after, Dr. Cheng was led by Jing Hu to the Cangyun Garden.

After taking Wei Mingting's pulse, Doctor Cheng also showed a solemn expression.

"How is Doctor Cheng?" Yun looked at Doctor Cheng eagerly, almost putting all her hopes on the old doctor in front of her.

He is already the best doctor in the entire Taizhou Prefecture. If even he can't save her husband, she doesn't know what to do.

"Master Wei, this is an old injury plus a new one, and his condition is very critical. If I read correctly, Mr. Wei was injured by an arrow a few days ago, but after a simple treatment and bandaging, the wound festered. "Doctor Cheng replied.

The lieutenant next to him replied: "That's right, Mr. Wei suffered the arrow wound a few days ago. In order not to affect morale, he told the people below that it was all right. He is still fighting side by side with us these few days. There is no difference at all." ."

"This injury is very deep. It has passed through his shoulder blade. It will take at least two months of recuperation. How can it be cured immediately with such a simple treatment." Dr. Cheng sighed as he spoke.

Immediately afterwards, Dr. Cheng said: "Later, Mr. Wei suffered a new injury, and the new injury was also very serious. It injured many vital organs. The ribs were broken, the spleen was ruptured, and the wounds on the shoulder and arm were all serious."

"Doctor Cheng, please save my husband!" Yun begged hurriedly.

"Doctor Cheng, I beg you, no matter how expensive the medicine is, save my father!" Wei Qingwan burst into tears.

"I don't have much confidence. Mrs. Wei and Ms. Wei must be mentally prepared." Dr. Cheng replied truthfully.

Hearing this, Yun's face was ashen, his body was limp, and he couldn't stand steadily.

Nurse Zhang and Cuiping supported her together so that she would not fall down.

At this moment, her sky collapsed.

Wei Qingwan was also bewildered and at a loss.

At this time, Wei Ruo came over and said to Doctor Cheng, "Please try your best, doctor. No matter how sure you are, you must do something."

Hearing Wei Ruo's voice, Doctor Cheng showed a look of surprise, and then examined Wei Ruo more carefully.

Before Dr. Cheng finished looking at it, Wei Ruo continued: "Dr. Cheng, you must save people. If you need anything, please tell me first, and I will order my servants to take care of it."

"Okay, I see, then please ask Ms. Wei to arrange someone to help me light a fire to make the room warmer. I will remove carrion for Mr. Wei in a while. It is still a little cold in spring, and he must not be exposed to the cold during this process."

Doctor Cheng immediately began to give orders.

Chapter 248 Together with Dr. Cheng to save Wei Mingting

"Also, boil a lot of hot water for me. I'll write down the medicinal materials I need in a while. After you get the prescription, go to the city medicine shop to grab it and bring it to me quickly." Doctor Cheng ordered again.

Wei Ruo nodded, and then ordered the servants in the mansion one by one: "Nurse Zhang, take someone to boil the hot water; Jing Hu, go get the medicine; Cuiping, help my mother to rest;"

Everyone was amazed at first, Madam was already in a state of disorientation, they didn't expect that at this moment, Missy could calmly preside over the overall situation.

Then they responded one after another, neatly following Wei Ruo's instructions.

"Yes, miss."

Mr. Yun was unwilling to leave, but she was in a very bad condition at the moment, her body was limp and unable to exert herself, so Cuiping took this opportunity to forcefully take her to the next room for a rest.

Wei Ruo turned to look at Wei Qingwan again: "Go back to your own yard too."

"Father is like this, how can I leave with peace of mind?"

"Then what is the use of you here? There are people coming and going in a hurry in the house, and no one can take care of you. Also, wipe your tears. Your father has not passed away, so put away your tears first."

Wei Qingwan pursed her lips and looked at Wei Ruo with a pale face.

Seeing her like this, Wei Ruo didn't bother to continue talking to her, and ordered Cui He who was beside her to take her down.

"Take your young lady back to Wangmeiyuan, don't make trouble here, delay father's diagnosis and treatment, I take you as a question!"

Wei Ruo's words were harsh, and there was a fierceness in her eyes, which somewhat frightened Cui He.

Although she is the second miss's maid, the eldest miss can't deal with her logically, but Wei Ruo's eyes make her unconsciously believe that the eldest miss can really deal with her.

Cui He hesitated and nodded, and then helped Wei Qingwan to go out.

Then Wei Ruo said to several lieutenants including Xu Zhengyong: "The generals have worked hard, and you have all been tired after this battle. Please go back to rest and adjust, and report to your family that you are safe."

Several people nodded. They can't help if they stay here at the moment, so it's better not to add trouble to the Wei family.

Then Wei Ruo, Dr. Cheng, Xiumei and the servants in the room were left in the room.

Your people have prepared hot water, tools and some urgently needed medicines.

"Doctor Cheng." Wei Ruo called Doctor Cheng again.

"Is it Xiaoyou?" Dr. Cheng asked.

After fighting side by side in the courtyard for so long, Doctor Cheng is familiar with Wei Ruo, especially Wei Ruo's eyes.

In addition, he is a doctor with rich experience. He can see through people and bones, and he doesn't stick to appearances. He can see through Wei Ruo's disguise better than ordinary people.

Wei Ruo nodded.

Dr. Cheng was overjoyed at once, and then glanced at the servants around him, and said, "The rest of you go out first, and it's enough for Miss Wei and her maid to stay and help me."

Doctor Cheng's move is puzzling, why did he ask the young lady of the mansion to help him? Isn't it generally used by servants?

But in this special period, the servants did not dare to ask more questions, and obediently left the room.

With no outsiders in the way, Dr. Cheng hurriedly came to the bed and lifted the quilt covering Wei Mingting's body.

Communicate with Wei Ruo while untying the gauze that Wei Mingting bandaged the wound:

"Just now when I was examining your father, you were also at the side. I think you saw it. How sure is your father's disease?"

"Fifty percent."

Wei Ruo told the truth, she was feeling a little complicated at the moment, she didn't want Wei Mingting to die like this, even if it was for the people of Taizhou Prefecture, she didn't want everyone to lose such a heroic general.

"According to my judgment just now, maybe 20% at most. If you have 50%, we can try our best." Doctor Cheng said frankly.

During the conversation, the two had already removed the bandages on Wei Mingting's body, exposing the old wound on his chest that had already festered.

The wound was more ferocious than the new wound. There was obvious dark brown pus in the central area, and the surrounding flesh was eroded.

"This part of the meat must be dug out." Wei Ruo said.

"Can you operate a knife?" Dr. Cheng asked Wei Ruo.

He doesn't doubt Wei Ruo's skills. He has seen how steady Wei Ruo's shots are when he fought against the epidemic together in the small courtyard.

It's just that today is different from the past, and the object is her father, so it is inevitable that her mentality will change.

"I can." Wei Ruo gave an affirmative answer.

"Okay, then I'll help you, you come." Doctor Cheng handed the meat-cutting knife to Wei Ruo's hand without hesitation.

Wei Ruo took the knife, put it on the oil lamp to roast, and then dipped it into the potion that was just prepared on the side.

Then he stabbed the knife into Wei Mingting's chest, and as the knife moved little by little, the carrion was also bit by bit separated by the reconciled meat glass.

Dr. Cheng held his breath and concentrated on the side. The wound here may involve other nerves. If he is not careful, Wei Shoubei may become a disabled person for the rest of his life.

Wei Ruo's hand is very steady, even if the opponent is Wei Mingting, it does not affect her operation.

With the turning of her wrist, the carrion was peeled off little by little, and put into the bowl prepared aside.

Wei Ruo was digging for carrion when he heard Wei Yilin's voice from outside:

"You let me in, I want to see Daddy!"

"Why do you stop me! I want to see my father, none of you are allowed to stop me, if you stop me again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Hearing the voice coming from outside the door, Wei Ruo frowned, but she couldn't stop her work now, so she could only call Xiumei.

"Meimei, stop Wei Yilin."

"Yes, miss."

Xiumei got the order and came to the door.

Seeing the door open, Wei Yilin who was outside the door was about to rush in, but was blocked by Xiumei's arm.

"Why are you stopping me?"

"Young master, Dr. Cheng is treating the master inside, and no one should disturb him." Xiumei explained.

"Then why can big sister be inside?" Wei Yilin questioned.

"Missy is helping Doctor Cheng."

"I won't go in and make trouble, I'll watch quietly!" Wei Yilin said.

"The young master is not calm enough now, it is better to stay outside the door."

"No, I must see Daddy! They all said Daddy was seriously injured! I don't believe it, my Daddy will be fine!" Wei Yilin's eyes were red.

After finishing speaking, she wanted to force her way in, and Xiumei made another move.

This time, Wei Yilin had the convenience, and tried to dodge with the kung fu he had learned on weekdays.

However, Xiumei is not the other maids in the mansion, her skill is even higher than that of Wei Yilin, when Wei Yilin tried to fight back, she had already predicted his movements, not only did not let him succeed, but she turned around beautifully Came behind him, grabbed his back collar, and dragged him from the door to the yard.

Wei Yilin was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Chapter 249 There is still a glimmer of life in the dangerous move of soldiers

"You...how do you..."

"Young master, please be calm and don't be impatient. Doctor Cheng is healing the master. This process needs to be quiet. If the young master is noisy, it will affect Doctor Cheng. If it causes Doctor Cheng to lose his mind and lose his accuracy, it will endanger him. Master's life." Xiumei explained again.

Listening to this explanation, Wei Yilin, who was originally noisy, immediately fell silent.

Although he was impatient, he could understand the seriousness of the matter after hearing such an explanation.

He was just anxious to know his father's injury, and didn't want to harm him.

"Then... will my father get better?" Wei Yilin asked in a low voice, holding back the tears from his eyes.

Xiumei explained: "Doctor Cheng will do his best. Master is a good man, and God will bless him."

Wei Yilin nodded, "Then can I wait at the door? I won't be arguing anymore, I'll just wait quietly. I want to go in and see Dad as soon as Dr. Cheng finishes treating him."

"Yes." Xiumei nodded.

There was no noise outside, and Wei Ruo continued to concentrate on the work at hand.

After the last bit of carrion was removed, Dr. Cheng quickly handed over the hemostatic and anti-inflammatory medicine that had just been prepared for Wei Ruo to use.

Wei Ruo applied the medicine evenly to the wound without bandaging it.

Then he began to treat other new wounds. In comparison, the treatment of new wounds was much easier. For shallow wounds, Wei Ruo applied medicine directly, and for deep wounds, Wei Ruo performed stitches to stitch the wounds together.

After the wound is treated, it is necessary to use internal medicine.

Wei Ruo wrote a prescription for Dr. Cheng to read, and Dr. Cheng looked at it for a long time, and then said with some amazement and concern: "I'm afraid this prescription is a bit risky, and the amount of Chuanwu used in it may be too high? "

The aconitine contained in Chuan Uri is highly toxic, and an overdose will directly cause death.

Wei Ruo's prescription contains an excessive amount of Aconitum aconitum, and at the same time, there are poisonous drugs that counteract the toxicity of Aconitum aconitum. It can be said to be a very dangerous prescription.

"I know that there is still a chance of life if the soldiers make a dangerous move." Wei Ruo said.

Doctor Cheng frowned and thought for a while, then nodded: "You are right, at this time, we should not be too rigid about the rules and regulations in medical books."

Doctor Cheng asked Wei Ruo: "Is this prescription in my name or..."

"Please ask Doctor Cheng to seize this medicine in your name, and don't mention today's matter to the outside world. If there is any responsibility, Doctor Cheng will shirk it to me. If there is nothing wrong, please ask Doctor Cheng to help me hide it."

"No, I will never tell you if something goes wrong. It is impossible for me to save Master Wei's situation by treating the root cause. As doctors, we should do our best to be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. There is nothing we can do to save the life. I can bear the reputation of treating the dead."

Wei Ruo was moved in his heart, and said: "Let's save people first, and discuss this matter later."

This is not the time to argue with Dr. Cheng, save people first, and talk about the rest later.

Wei Ruo said to Dr. Cheng again: "I plan to give my father another set of acupuncture to help him strengthen the body, remove silt and reduce coagulation."

The process of administering needles is more labor-intensive than picking carrion just now, and requires full concentration without any interruption.

Dr. Cheng nodded: "I gave this prescription to my apprentice, and asked him to get the medicine. If you want to give an injection, I will guard it here so that no one will disturb you."

"Okay, I'm sorry." Wei Ruo thanked Dr. Cheng for his understanding and cooperation.

She is also very fortunate that he is the doctor who came today, so that she can use her hands and feet so confidently and boldly.

Then Wei Ruo called Xiumei back, because she not only needed to perform acupuncture on Wei Mingting's chest, but also his back, so she needed someone to help Wei Mingting to keep his body still.

Seeing the door open, Wei Yilin subconsciously looked inside, trying to see something.

But when I looked in, I could only see a screen and nothing.

Wei Yilin pursed his lips, still thinking about what Xiumei said just now, and calmly did not rush in.

I don't know how long it has passed, but to Wei Yilin who was waiting outside, this period of time seemed extremely long.

At this time, it was already dark, and it was already past the time for dinner. In the past, if he hadn't eaten at this time, Wei Yilin would have already started yelling.

But today he was sitting at the door of his father's room, silent and silent.

The door of the room opened once, and it was Dr. Cheng's apprentice who went in to deliver the soup.

After a while, the door opened again, and Dr. Cheng came out.

Wei Yilin stood up abruptly: "How is my father?"

"Young master, please be safe and don't be impatient. Your father is still in a coma. It's hard to say whether he can survive the difficult time."

Dr. Cheng can only tell the truth, he can't tell comforting lies, he doesn't want to disappoint the patient's family members after giving them hope.

Hearing this, Wei Yilin couldn't bear it any longer, tears streaming down his face.

At this time Wei Ruo also came out of the house, Wei Yilin suddenly rushed up and hugged Wei Ruo.

"What about big sister, the doctor said Daddy is dangerous."

Wei Ruo looked down at Wei Yilin who was crying while hugging her leg, reached out and patted him on the back: "Don't cry, it's too early to cry now, what the doctor said is dangerous, not hopeless, take care tonight, Do everything you can to help your father get through this difficult time together."

Wei Yilin nodded and cried, not at all like the arrogant and self-righteous look he used to be, but now he is more like an ordinary eight-year-old boy, fearful and helpless.

Wei Ruo rarely pushed him away without disgust, and when he calmed down a little, he said: "If you are worried, we will watch the night together tonight."

Wei Yilin nodded quickly: "I want to guard my father!"

"Then go get something to eat first."

"I don't eat, I'm not hungry, I'll just stay here and watch over Daddy!"

"You have to fill up your stomach so that you have energy at night, so that you can be useful when you need your energy. Otherwise, your stomach is growling in the middle of the night and you have no energy. I won't be free. Take care of you." Wei Ruo said.

Wei Yilin listened to Wei Ruo's words: "I'm going to eat now, eat enough to make sure I have energy all night!"

Wei Ruo nodded, then turned to tell Xiumei: "Meimei, take him to eat something."

"What about you, miss? You haven't eaten yet, miss." Xiumei was even more worried about Wei Ruo.

"After taking him to eat, bring me something to eat by the way." Wei Ruo said.

Wei Ruo will continue to stay by Wei Mingting's side in order to deal with unexpected situations that may arise at any time.

She doesn't know whether Wei Mingting will be able to pass this level in the end, all she can do is to protect this glimmer of hope as much as possible.

Chapter 250 Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin Vigil

"I'll help you after eating!" Wei Yilin said to Wei Ruo.

After finishing speaking, Wei Yilin ran towards Xiumei one step ahead, and Xiumei had to quickly catch up.

It took only a stick of incense before Wei Yilin came back, holding a cup of ginseng chicken soup in his hand, and Xiumei behind her was also carrying a heavy food box.

Entering the bedroom, bypassing the screen, Wei Yilin finally saw Wei Mingting on the sickbed.

At this moment, the small eyes turned red again, and the mouth was flattened, but she held back her tears.

Holding back his emotions, Wei Yilin handed the cup containing ginseng and chicken soup to Wei Ruo.

"This is for you, and you should also make up for it. Don't be overwhelmed at night, then I don't have the time to take care of it."

Wei Ruo took the ginseng chicken soup and took a few sips.

Xiumei also gave the food box to Wei Ruo: "Miss, eat more, I'll cook you a cup of bird's nest later."

"Thank you for your hard work." Wei Ruo said to Xiumei.

"I have nothing to do, Miss, you have to take care of your body."

"Don't worry, I'm fine, your lady still has some physical strength." Wei Ruo reassured Xiumei.

Then Wei Ruo glanced at Wei Yilin, and then said to Xiumei: "Meimei, go and get another blanket. It's cold at night, so you need to protect yourself from the cold."

"good."

Xiumei turned around and got two blankets for Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin.

At night, Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin guarded.

Wei Yilin became very quiet, and kept looking at Wei Mingting who was unconscious on the bed.

Wei Ruo stood up to check Wei Mingting's situation, and Wei Yilin also stood up.

"How is it? Big sister, how is daddy?" Wei Yilin asked.

"I'm still alive, my body is a little hot now." Wei Ruo replied.

"A little hot? What should I do? What should I do?" Wei Yilin became more nervous. He didn't understand his father's injury very well, but he also knew that being hot was not a good thing.

"He was injured so badly, it is a normal reaction for his body to feel hot. As long as it is not too hot, we will not do other treatment for the time being; if the body temperature is too high, we will apply a towel to him to cool down. For the rest, the medicine is taken on time and can be done. All the doctors have done it, so we can only wait and see what happens." Wei Ruo replied.

Wei Yilin pursed his lips, looked worried, but nodded.

I don't know why, Wei Qingruo looks so reliable at this moment, he unconsciously believes her.

Wei Ruo originally thought that Wei Yilin was just talking, and would fall asleep in a while, but he didn't want to doze off at all that night, for fear that if he missed a glance, the person on the bed would disappear.

Every time Wei Ruo got up to check on Wei Mingting's situation, or gave Wei Mingting medicine, he would also get up, although he couldn't help much, he still had to follow for a while.

Outside the window, the moon and stars were sparse, and insects could be heard from time to time, and the candles in the house flickered, brightening and dimming.

In the middle, I can't count how many times I got up to change, feed and wipe Wei Mingting's dressing.

Wei Yilin didn't understand at first, but after reading more, he can help.

Just like that, Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin sat together on the chair beside Wei Mingting's bed, and watched from dark to dawn.

Although I was a little tired and tossed a little this night, fortunately, nothing unexpected happened to Wei Mingting.

The only unexpected situation was Yun Shi, who visited Wei Mingting once in the middle of the night, and happened to meet Wei Ruo changing Wei Mingting's dressing, seeing the wound on Wei Mingting's chest, Yun's eyes darkened and passed out.

So Wei Ruo asked Cuiping to help her to the next room to watch, and didn't let her come over for the time being.

Mao at three o'clock, the **** crowed three times, Wei Ruo came to the bed and touched Wei Mingting's forehead, the fever subsided, and when the pulse was checked again, the pulse condition stabilized.

Wei Ruo breathed a sigh of relief: "Father has passed the first test."

"Really?" Wei Yilin's eyes lit up immediately.

"Well, at least there is no life-threatening for the time being, and there is a second hurdle to go through, and it needs to be taken care of carefully, so that there is no mistake." Wei Ruo said.

"Then go back and rest for a while, I'll watch here!" Wei Yilin said, "I'm a man, and I'm a martial arts practitioner. I'm in better health than you can carry!"

"Don't hold on, you should go back to sleep for a while to refresh yourself." Wei Ruo said.

"I don't, I'm in good health, I can continue to be with Dad!" Wei Yilin said firmly.

"There is still a vigil tonight, will you keep it?" Wei Ruo asked.

Wei Yilin nodded.

"Then go to rest now, let Dr. Cheng and his apprentice guard during the day, you don't have to worry too much with them around, we will replace them at night." Wei Ruo said.

Wei Yilin nodded and agreed after thinking seriously for a while.

Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin had just finished talking when Dr. Cheng came. Wei Ruo briefly told Dr. Cheng what happened last night.

Dr. Cheng said with emotion: "It's really great, Mr. Wei has passed the most dangerous level!"

"Well, but we have to be careful from today to tomorrow, so we can't make any mistakes." Wei Ruo said.

"Miss, go to rest first, I'm here." Dr. Cheng said.

"Call me if something happens, I'll be in my room."

"Okay, don't worry, big girl. Mr. Wei has his own destiny. If he can survive last night, then the next problem will not be a problem." Dr. Cheng comforted.

Wei Ruo nodded.

Not long after Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin left, Wei Qingwan came and stood at the door to ask about the situation.

"Doctor, how is my father?" Wei Qingwan's face was haggard, and her voice was full of concern.

"Returning to the second lady, Mr. Wei temporarily passed the test last night, and needs to rest in the future. My apprentice and I will always guard Mr. Wei's side."

Doctor Cheng answered Wei Qingwan's question at the door, but did not let Wei Qingwan in.

"Then can I go in and see my father?" Wei Qingwan asked.

"I don't want it for the time being. Mr. Wei needs to rest now, and the wound on his body needs to be treated at any time, so he should not be disturbed." Dr. Cheng politely refused.

Wei Qingwan nodded: "Dr. Cheng is here."

"Second Miss, you are welcome." Doctor Cheng responded politely.

Afterwards, Wei Qingwan went to the next room to look for Yun, and Cuihe told her about her mother fainting last night early in the morning.

Although there is nothing serious, Wei Qingwan knows that this is the time when her mother needs company and comfort the most.

Came to the next room, Yunshi was lying on the bed, sick.

As soon as he saw Wei Qingwan, he eagerly asked about Wei Mingting's situation: "Wanwan, how is your father?"

Wei Qingwan lied and said: "Mother, don't worry, I just went to see my father, and there is nothing serious about my father."

"Really?" Yun couldn't believe it, "I saw it last night, there is a big hole in your father's chest..."

When Yun thought of that scene, her heart ached.

Wei Qingwan continued to comfort her, and the mother and daughter hugged each other.

Chapter 251 Pass three days safely

"Mother, you can rest assured to cultivate, I will take care of Daddy's side, and won't let Daddy have anything to do." Wei Qingwan comforted Yun.

Yun Shi nodded: "Yes, yes, you must stay by your father's side, and you must not let anything happen to your father."

"Daughter knows, mother, don't worry. Mother, you have to take care of yourself. Your body is also very important. When father wakes up and sees you sick, he will be very sad." Wei Qingwan continued to comfort her.

Yun Shi nodded: "Mother knows, mother is useless, whenever your father has something to do, mother's heart is anxious, and when she is anxious, her mind goes blank. In the end, she didn't help, but added to the chaos."

"Mother, please don't say that. You and your father are deeply in love with each other. It hurts on your father's body and hurts on your mother's heart. The reason why mother is like this is because of the deep relationship with your father."

"Anyway, my mother is really useless. Fortunately, Dr. Cheng is with you this time, otherwise my mother doesn't know what to do."

"Mother, don't think about it anymore, the most important thing for you now is to take care of your body."

Yun's heart ached again: "Your father has suffered no less than twenty injuries, big and small, this time is the most serious. I have never seen him like this before. Even if he came back with an injury before, he would still follow him. I said he was fine, but this time, he couldn't even open his eyes."

"Mother, Dad became like this to fight against Japanese pirates. He is a hero, and the Bodhisattva will bless him."

"I know, I know. Wanwan, don't worry about mother, you can go and stay with your father, mother is fine, mother will be fine after resting for a while." Yun Shi drove Wei Qingwan to take care of Wei Mingting.

Wei Qingwan didn't tell Yun Shi, and Dr. Cheng didn't let her in to see her father. She didn't want Yun Shi to worry, so she agreed: "Okay, mother, don't worry, I'll go and see my father, and I will tell mother if there is anything, mother, you can rest at ease." ."

The next night, Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin came to watch the night on time. The servant girl wanted to help, but Wei Ruo politely refused.

It's not that she doesn't want to fake hands with others, but that during this period of time, there must be someone with medical skills guarding in case something unexpected happens, and other people may not be able to find the problem in time.

And Wei Yilin also insisted on guarding it personally. There is no reason why a man can't do what the big sister can do as a woman.

Now the eldest brother is not at home, and the father is down. He is the only man in the family, and he must take his responsibility at this moment.

Wei Ruo looked at Wei Yilin, who was guarding Wei Mingting as carefully as on the first day, and changed his opinion of him slightly.

At night, I also offered to ask him to help, asking him to help with things like changing dressings, changing water and washing towels.

In the middle of the night, Wei Yilin took the initiative to cover Wei Ruo with a blanket: "Don't catch a cold."

"You cover it yourself."

"I'm fine. I'm a man, a martial artist, and I'm not afraid of the cold, but you are a woman, and women should pay more attention to cold than us men." Wei Yilin said.

"You are only eight years old, what kind of man are you?"

"Who said eight years old is not a man? My master said that whether a man is a man depends on his mind, not his age!" Wei Yilin retorted.

"Then you are mentally mature?"

"Of course." Wei Yilin said very firmly.

While talking, Wei Yilin looked at Wei Mingting, who was unconscious on the bed: "I will become a hero like my father, and go out to kill the Japanese pirates. Not only will I drive the Japanese pirates out of the coast, but I will also attack the Japanese pirates' lair and kill them all!"

This is the second time Wei Ruo has heard someone say that they have such an ambition. Regardless of age or status, such an ambition is worthy of recognition.

"Father should be very happy that you have such an ambition." Wei Ruo said.

"Big sister, Dad will wake up, right?" Wei Yilin asked.

"To survive tonight is to pass the second level, and the probability of survival is 80%." Wei Ruo said.

"Then let's continue to guard Daddy! We must wait until Daddy wakes up!" Wei Yilin said firmly.

For the next two nights, Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin kept watch as they did on the first day, and handed over the daytime to Dr. Cheng and his apprentices.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Wei Mingting's situation finally stabilized.

When seeing Dr. Cheng again, Wei Ruo's expression became much more relaxed and happy.

"Miss is a blessed person, Miss Wei is able to survive the catastrophe this time, thanks to Miss." Dr. Cheng couldn't help but said.

It was the big girl who cut the meat with the knife, the big girl who gave the needle to strengthen the body, and the big girl who prescribed the prescription to renew her life, so Dr. Cheng believes that the credit is well-deserved by the big girl.

It's a pity that due to some reasons, the eldest girl doesn't want people to know that she is the one who did these things.

"I still want to thank Dr. Cheng."

Wei Ruo also sincerely thanked Dr. Cheng for taking risks this time, and he also did his best in saving lives. If she hadn't just met him, she must have not been so successful this time.

"Miss, let's go back and rest first. You've been up for three nights. Finally, the emperor has paid off." Doctor Cheng has both the elder's love for the younger generation and the admiration for Wei Ruo's talent.

Wei Ruo nodded, and then said to Wei Yilin: "Let's go back and rest together."

Wei Yilin glanced reluctantly at Wei Mingting on the bed, then obediently followed Wei Ruo and left the room.

After Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin left, Wei Qingwan came. Like the previous few days, she asked Doctor Cheng about Wei Mingting's situation, and asked if he could go in to take care of him.

Because Wei Mingting's condition had stabilized, Doctor Cheng didn't stop Wei Qingwan from going in this time.

Afterwards, Wei Qingwan asked Cui He to stew ginseng soup, and after asking Dr. Cheng, he served some for Wei Mingting.

After so many days of buffering and recuperation, Yun's condition has improved a lot, and knowing from Dr. Cheng that her husband is out of danger, Yun's previous anxiety and panic have disappeared.

When Mrs. Yun came down to the room to visit her husband with the help of her maid, Cuiping, she saw Wei Qingwan waiting by the bed, feeding her husband ginseng soup with all her heart.

"Wanwan, thank you for your hard work. Mother is useless. Seeing your father is so helpless, I can't support myself. I can only rely on you to take care of your father." Yun couldn't help but sighed.

Hearing Yun's praise, Wei Qingwan replied softly: "Mother, this is what a daughter should do. Your body is just right, so you have to be careful."

Yun nodded: "I'm much better. Does the doctor say anything else your father needs?"

Wei Qingwan said: "Dr. Cheng said just now that my father is weak now, and the tonic needs to be done step by step, and we can't act too hastily."

"Okay, okay, then take your time." Yun looked at her husband on the bed with a distressed face.

Immediately afterwards, Yun Shi looked at Wei Qingwan who was obediently guarding the bedside, and said comfortingly: "Wanwan, thank you for your hard work, you haven't had a good rest these few days, have you?"

Chapter 252 Wei Mingting wakes up

"My daughter doesn't work hard, it's her blessing to be able to do something for her parents." Wei Qingwan replied.

"With you here, my mother is really relieved."

The daughter's sensible appearance injected a little comfort into Yun's anxious heart.

"Mother, don't worry. Doctor Cheng said that Daddy is safe, and he can wake up after a little more training. During this period of time, I will take good care of Daddy and won't let Daddy have anything to do." Wei Qingwan said.

Mr. Yun nodded.

Wei Qingwan then persuaded Yun Shi: "Mother, go back and rest quickly, father is recovering, and you should recover as soon as possible, so that when father wakes up, he will be relieved to see that you are well."

Then he said to Cuiping, the servant girl who helped Yunshi come over: "Cuiping, help mother go back to the room to rest, she is not well enough to move around, there is still ginseng soup stewed in the kitchen, you can ask someone to bring it back to mother Take some."

"The servant girl knows."

Cuiping obeyed Wei Qingwan's instructions and helped Yun to the next room, while Wei Qingwan stayed in the room to look after Wei Mingting.

Wei Qingwan is mainly responsible for feeding medicine and ginseng soup to Wei Mingting. Wei Qingwan still can't do such a job as changing Wei Mingting's medicine. Doctor Cheng and his apprentices have to come.

When Dr. Cheng untied the bandages on Wei Mingting's body, revealing the hideous wounds on his body, Wei Qingwan was still frightened, and she didn't dare to look carefully.

Although the blood on those wounds has solidified, and some have begun to scab, the large hole where the flesh was dug out is still there, and the huge scar is as scary as a giant centipede.

Doctor Cheng took Wei Qingwan's reaction into his eyes, and asked her to wait outside until the medicine was changed and bandaged before coming in.

After noon, the room was a bit hot. Wei Qingwan saw beads of sweat on Wei Mingting's forehead, so she wiped the beads of sweat on Wei Mingting's face with a warm towel.

Wiping, Wei Mingting frowned, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Father?!" Wei Qingwan couldn't believe it, she was shocked first and then happy, and then tears welled out of her eyes and rolled down.

"Wan..." Wei Mingting tried to speak, but almost no sound came out of his throat, his whole body was very heavy, as if being pressed by a huge stone.

"Father, don't talk yet, you were seriously injured, you managed to save your life, and you still need to rest and recover!" Wei Qingwan hurriedly said.

Wei Mingting really didn't have the strength to speak, and his body was extremely heavy, and he couldn't move any part easily, so he just blinked his eyes to show that he understood.

Wei Qingwan couldn't hold back her tears: "Father, you have suffered!"

Seeing his daughter crying, Wei Mingting couldn't help but want to say again: "Don't...cry..."

"I won't cry, I won't cry, Daddy, please rest well, I won't cry, please don't talk." Wei Qingwan hurriedly wiped away her tears.

Doctor Cheng came over when he heard the movement, felt Wei Mingting's pulse, and then said earnestly: "Master Wei is in good health, and being able to wake up this time means that the catastrophe is over! Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Immediately afterwards, Dr. Cheng warned: "Master Wei, don't move around, cultivate yourself well, don't work or read, and put your body first."

Wei Mingting blinked his eyes to show that he heard it.

Wei Qingwan asked with concern from the side: "Doctor Cheng, what else do I need to do?"

Doctor Cheng said: "Take the medicine on time and change the medicine on time. In addition, the second lady can also feed Mr. Wei some ginseng soup as before. When the body is better, add some easy-to-digest food. Remember to Step by step, the body should slowly recover, don't rush!"

"Okay!" Wei Qingwan nodded obediently, carefully writing down what the doctor said.

When Wei Ruo came over at night, there were Wei Qingwan and Yun Shi standing in front of Wei Mingting's bed, and a bunch of servant girls waiting on them.

Wei Ruo looked at the door for a while and asked about the situation of Doctor Cheng Wei Mingting.

After confirming that Wei Mingting was fine, he planned to leave.

"Why did you leave?" Wei Yilin, who came to watch the night with Wei Ruo, met head-on, and Wei Yilin was puzzled when he saw that Wei Ruo was about to leave.

"Father has passed the critical period, so it's the same if he leaves it to other people to take care of him." Wei Ruo replied.

Wei Ruo didn't want to go in to join in the fun, the room was full of people, Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan were also talking all the time, she would rather go to sleep when she had this time.

Wei Yilin thought for a while: "Well, you are tired these days, go back and have a good rest!"

Wei Ruo didn't say anything more to Wei Yilin, turned around and went back to Songyuan.

After no longer having to worry about Wei Mingting's affairs, Wei Ruo had a good night's sleep and had a good rest.

The next morning, she inquired about Wei Mingting's situation as usual, and learned that he was recovering as she expected, so she went out to Sibaozhai to find a nanny.

Brother Xiaoyong is also at home these few days, Wei Ruo doesn't want to miss this rare time together.

Arriving at Sibaozhai, Wei Ruoqing entered the backyard with ease.

"Sister Ruoer!" Xu Zhengyong ran out of the house as soon as he heard the voice.

"Are you okay?" Wei Ruo asked again.

"Of course I'm fine. Sister Ruo'er, don't you believe what I told you last time! As I said, I only suffered a little skin trauma, and it doesn't matter at all." Xu Zhengyong replied.

"It's not that you don't have a criminal record of 'falsifying military information'. You were naughty in the past, and even if you knocked your head off, you said you were fine." Wei Ruokai said.

"How long ago did that happen, sister Ruoer, why do you still mention it?" Xu Zhengyong said with some embarrassment.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Zhengyong changed the subject and asked Wei Ruozheng about something: "Sister Ruoer, do you still have the medicine?"

Hearing Xu Zhengyong ask Wei Ruoyao, the nanny who came out of the house hurriedly interrupted: "Xiaoyong, the medicine for you as a young lady was blown by the strong wind, and now rice is expensive and medicine is expensive, why don't you know how to cherish it?" ?"

Xu Zhengyong looked embarrassed. Of course, he also knew that medicinal materials are expensive nowadays, but on the battlefield, when his comrades were injured, he didn't care so much.

This battle lasted for more than half a month. Although they successfully retreated from the enemy in the end, the casualties of the soldiers were more serious than the previous few times, and the medicine was naturally not enough.

"Grandmother, don't talk about Brother Xiaoyong. I prepared this medicine for him to save the lives of himself and his comrades. Both Brother Xiaoyong and his comrades are heroes who defend their home and country. Give it to them. There's nothing wrong with taking medication."

Wei Ruo turned to Xu Zhengyong again and said, "Brother Xiaoyong, don't worry, Yingying and I have a medicine field in Xingshan County, and a batch of good medicine to stop bleeding will be produced soon. Bring it over immediately for you and the soldiers to use."

"Sister Ruoer, you are the best!" Xu Zhengyong jumped up and down happily.

Chapter 253 A sudden slap in the face

Although he was already a very popular general in the barracks, he still couldn't hide his childishness in front of Wei Ruo and the others.

Wei Ruo smiled and said, "Originally, one of the purposes of my visit to you today is to ask you what medicinal materials you still lack. After a while, you can tell me the types of medicinal materials that you use the most, and I will prepare more."

"Good!" Xu Zhengyong nodded heavily.

Xiumei couldn't help but said: "Miss doesn't care about the medicine money, but she does care about you, so don't get hurt if you can, and don't use medicine if you don't need it. It's best to be like this every time. Come back safely."

Hearing this, Xu Zhengyong first showed a happy smile because he was cared for, and then replied with a serious expression: "Of course I don't want to get hurt, I wish I had more strength to kill a few more Japanese pirates, but on the battlefield A sword has no eyes, sometimes no amount of kung fu can resist it. Just like Master Wei this time..."

Speaking of Wei Mingting, Xu Zhengyong hurriedly asked Wei Ruo: "Sister Ruoer, how is Lord Wei doing now?"

"The injury has stabilized, and I woke up yesterday afternoon. Now I just need to take the medicine on time and rest." Wei Ruo replied.

"That's good!" Xu Zhengyong said happily, and then he thought of something, and asked Wei Ruo nervously, "Sister Ruo'er hasn't been exposed?"

Xu Zhengyong knew that if Wei Mingting was able to recover from such a serious injury, sister Ruoer probably took action.

So Xu Zhengyong was worried that Wei Ruo would expose his affairs, not because he was narrow-minded, but because he didn't trust the members of the Wei family except Wei Mingting.

"Don't worry, the doctor Cheng who treated him this time was my acquaintance when I was preventing the epidemic. He helped me cover the whole process, and no one noticed anything abnormal."

"That's good. I'm relieved that you're fine!" Xu Zhengyong breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she said to Wei Ruo: "Sister Ruo'er, will you stay for dinner today? My mother has preserved plum vegetables and said she will make you pork with dried plum vegetables. She won't let me touch it if I want to eat it."

"I'm hungry for what you said." Wei Ruo laughed.

"There are also pickled vegetables and bamboo shoots. The heavy snow last year destroyed a lot of bamboos, but the bamboo shoots that grew in the surviving bamboo forest are very thick and tender. When my father went to the winery yesterday, he passed by and bought a lot of them. , paired with my mother's big-headed pickles, it's a must!" Xu Zhengyong continued to say vividly.

Wei Ruo smiled: "Then I must try it, I haven't eaten these two dishes for a long time."

The Wei family is from the north, and their eating habits are a little different from those of the southerners. Although they have been in the south for a long time and have begun to accept the southern diet, people in the house still don't like pickled vegetables and dried vegetables. I'm used to it, so I can't do it on weekdays.

Wei Ruo hadn't had this bite for a long time.

Hearing that the nanny's face was full of smiles, she put on her apron and walked into the kitchen, calling Xu Zhengyong for help as she walked: "Xiaoyong, bring some firewood to the kitchen! I'll cook."

"Okay!" Xu Zhengyong smiled, and then secretly said to Wei Ruo, "My mother hasn't cooked for you for a long time, and I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I am always worried that you are not used to eating in other places. Bet she'll cook a big table."

"I know." Wei Ruo doesn't know how the nanny loves him, but it's a pity that she doesn't have much chance to stay by the nanny's side now.

Nurse has been busy in the kitchen for a long time, setting up a large table with sixteen dishes.

Xu Zhengyong smiled and said to Wei Ruo: "Sister Ruo'er, do you know? In the past few days since I've been back, there are only 16 dishes in total. I think I picked them up, and you are the one who was born by mother!"

As soon as Xu Zhengyong finished speaking, Mama Xu shuddered on the head.

"Eat well, talk less!"

Xu Zhengyong took the opportunity to act coquettishly with Wei Ruo: "Sister Ruoer, how pitiful do you think I am?"

"Well, poor, let Xiumei rub it for you." Wei Ruo said.

"Okay, okay, Meimei, rub it for me."

As soon as Xu Zhengyong finished speaking, Xiumei showed her fist:

"Okay, I see that your whole body is not strong, let me help you relax!"

"Ahem... Meimei, the fist is not suitable, right? Although I didn't suffer any serious injuries on the battlefield, I have been fighting for half a month, and my body is still a little weak..." Xu Zhengyong quickly changed his words.

"I see that your body is very good, especially that mouth! You can't stop talking, don't mention how energetic you are!" Xiumei gave Xu Zhengyong a white look.

Xu Zhengyong continued to laugh back at Xiumei.

Because there is no rule in Xu's family not to talk when eating or sleeping, Xu Zhengyong and Xiumei would squabble from time to time between meals, which made the meal extraordinarily lively.

Wei Ruo's mood was also extraordinarily relaxed amidst the laughter, and the fatigue of the past few days also dissipated a lot.

Wei Ruo stayed in Sibaozhai until he finished his dinner, and now it was dark, Xu Zhengyong reluctantly sent Wei Ruo and Xiumei to the carriage.

Amidst his nagging orders, Wei Ruo and Xiumei left Sibaozhai.

As soon as he returned to Xiaowei's Mansion, he met Wei Yichen head-on.

When Wei Mingting was seriously injured a few days ago, Yun did not send anyone to notify him, because even if he came back, it would be of no use and would affect his studies.

It seems that after Wei Mingting recovered from his injury yesterday afternoon, the Yun family sent someone to report to Anzhou College.

"Brother." Wei Ruo said hello and was about to go inside.

Wei Yichen walked up to her quickly and blocked Wei Ruo's way.

Wei Ruo raised his head and looked at Wei Yichen with some doubts. He had a serious expression, his mountain-like eyebrows were fixed, and there was blame in his serious eyes.

Wei Ruo was about to ask what was going on, when Wei Yichen suddenly raised his hand and slapped the defenseless Wei Ruo on the face.

"Snapped-"

Wei Yichen's slap was so sudden that Xiumei couldn't react.

"I always talk to you about how you go out to play and how you don't obey the rules. I think it doesn't matter. I can't ask you according to the norms of ordinary women, but this time you have really gone too far! "

"Father is dying. As a daughter, you don't care about him at all. When Wanwan was waiting by the bed, you only thought about how to run out. If you want to go out, why has the mansion stopped you now? You have to go out at this time ?"

Wei Yichen looked at Wei Ruo sadly, his eyes were red and his lips were tightly pressed.

Wei Ruo stretched out his hand, touched his left cheek which was so painful from the beating, and then chuckled lightly.

"Who told you that I didn't take care of my father? Who told you that I didn't serve my father?"

Wei Ruo raised his face, looked directly at Wei Yichen and asked Wei Yichen back, with a weird smile on his face that Wei Yichen had never expected.

Chapter 254 To seek justice for myself

"I haven't seen you since I went back home this morning. Wanwan is always the only person waiting in front of the bed. Wanwan's maid said that Wanwan hasn't closed her eyes for several nights!" Wei Yichen explained.

"Who told you that I have no servants. Is it Wei Qingwan, the mother, or someone else in the house?" Wei Ruo questioned.

"What do you want to say?" Wei Yichen frowned.

"Did Wei Qingwan tell you that she has been serving her father these few days?" Wei Ruo sneered.

"Don't slander Wanwan, she has never said such a thing. I haven't seen you since I got home, and Wanwan has been busy from morning to night. I asked Wanwan where you are going, Wanwan She bluntly said that you might be unwell and resting in the yard, but she didn't say anything about you, and she was still trying to cover you up!"

The conclusion that Wei Ruo didn't wait on his father's bed was deduced by Wei Yichen himself. Wei Qingwan didn't say it clearly, but Wei Yichen saw that she was deliberately covering up for Wei Ruo, so he guessed roughly.

"Did she say that? Then I have to ask in person."

After Wei Ruo finished speaking, he strode towards Cangyun Garden.

Wei Yichen froze for a moment, then quickly followed.

"What do you want to do?" Wei Yichen asked Wei Ruo from behind.

"I want to seek justice for myself, and I can't get this slap in vain!" Wei Ruo stopped and answered Wei Yichen's words, his eyes were cold and determined.

Wei Yichen was a little intimidated by Wei Ruo's appearance, but after thinking about it, he didn't do anything wrong. The sister-in-law ignored her parents. If she didn't teach her, the consequences would be even more disastrous.

Wei Ruo quickly walked into Wei Mingting's room. In the room, both Yunshi and Wei Qingwan were there.

Seeing Wei Ruoji stepping in, the people in the room looked at her in surprise.

"Ruo'er, what are you doing? Your father is recuperating. You should move more gently and don't be frizzy." Yun reprimanded softly.

Wei Ruo didn't answer Yun's words, his eyes fell on Wei Mingting who was on the hospital bed, and he apologized first, "I'm sorry father, you haven't recovered yet, I shouldn't have come in at this time to disturb your rest, but I just When I got home, I was slapped in the face, and I felt that I was wronged by this slap, and I wanted to seek justice for myself."

Hearing that Wei Mingting frowned, Yun's face beside him also changed.

Everyone looked at Wei Ruo's cheek, the palm print on it was already somewhat visible, which shows that the slap was not light.

Mr. Yun hurriedly said: "No matter who beat you, don't talk about it in front of your father's hospital bed. Let's change to another place to uphold justice for your mother."

Although it is not clear why the daughter was slapped, Yun doesn't want her daughter's affairs to affect her husband's rest.

"No need, I know about my father's condition, the noise won't make his condition worse." Wei Ruo didn't plan to change places.

She knows Wei Mingting's situation better than anyone else, and just making a lot of noise won't make his injury worse.

"Ruoer, tell me." Wei Mingting said, he is much better today than yesterday, and it is much easier to speak.

Seeing Wei Ruo's appearance like this, as a father, Wei Mingting also wanted to know what was going on.

Wei Mingting had already spoken, and it was hard for Yun to say anything more.

Wei Ruo walked up to Wei Qingwan, staring at her with sharp eyes, making her invisible.

"Sister?" Wei Qingwan looked at Wei Ruo with puzzlement and fear, and raised her head timidly.

"I heard that you have been taking care of your father these days?" Wei Ruo asked.

"Sister, what's the matter? Is there anything wrong with me taking care of my father?" Wei Qingwan talked about him.

"Answer my question head-on. Have you been taking care of my father since he was sent home?" Wei Ruo asked.

"Of course not. I don't have a doctor who takes good care of me. I don't dare to take credit for it. Doctor Cheng deserves the most credit for my father's recovery. I'm just doing my best." Wei Qingwan hurriedly explained.

"It's amazing, you can answer so ambiguously every time." Wei Ruo couldn't help applauding Wei Qingwan.

"Sister, I don't understand what you are talking about." Wei Qingwan bit her lips, her eyes full of panic.

Seeing this, Wei Yichen stepped forward and pulled Wei Ruo's arm, separating Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan.

"Ruo'er, what do you want to do? Wanwan is so frightened by you!" Wei Yichen's face darkened.

"Scared her before I did it?" Wei Ruo sneered, "Look at her, you don't dare to say that she is taking care of your father these days, but there is a way to make you feel that these days She has always been giving, and I, the eldest daughter, only know how to run outside!"

Wei Ruo's attitude made Wei Yichen's complexion darker, and even Yun's face who was beside him also darkened.

Yun's tone blamed: "Ruo'er, how did you talk to your elder brother? Can't you talk well if you have something to say? And your father is still here, and he is not in good health. Are you angry with him like this?"

"Then why can't you talk to me well, what does it mean to slap me when you come up?" Wei Ruo asked.

As Wei Ruo said, Wei Ruo's eyes fell on Wei Qingwan again. Wei Qingwan lowered her head, her eyes were red, and she was half-shrunk, looking very scared.

"If you have something to do, come to me. I am the one who will discipline you today. It has nothing to do with Wanwan's business. Don't disturb your father's rest here!" Wei Yichen stretched out his hand and took Wei Ruo's arm. , trying to pull Wei Ruo out of the room.

Wei Ruo refused: "You don't care if it's about her. I just asked her to clarify who is taking care of her father these days, and she took care of her for a few days. Is such a simple question difficult? Do you have to go around such a big circle to answer? She didn't do anything, but is it necessary to make herself feel wronged? "

Wei Qingwan bit her lower lip, her eyes rolled in her eye sockets, she lowered her head, looking even more aggrieved.

She was indeed a little scared by Wei Ruo's battle. Originally, when Wei Yichen came home and saw her busy, he said a few words of distress. Take care of father.

She didn't expect that her elder brother would go directly to Wei Qingruo to settle accounts, and even slapped Wei Qingruo directly.

What was even more unexpected was that Wei Qingruo went directly to his father's hospital bed to seek justice.

Faced with such a scene, Wei Qingwan chose to remain silent.

Just then, Wei Yilin walked into the room.

Wei Yilin accompanied Jing Hu to decoct medicine just now.

As soon as he entered the room, he found that the atmosphere in the room was extremely cold.

Wei Yilin saw Wei Yichen pulling Wei Ruo, so he hurried over.

"Brother, what are you doing? Why are you pulling big sister?" Wei Yilin held Wei Yichen's hand with one hand, and protected Wei Ruo's arm with the other.

Chapter 255 This slap will be returned

"It's none of your business, go aside." Wei Yichen said to Wei Yilin.

Wei Yilin insisted not to let go: "Brother, you have to make it clear, what are you doing, you have to pull Big Sister!"

"What happened to my father, but she only knows how to run outside. As the eldest brother, I have the responsibility to teach her well. She can not be like other ladies, but she can't disrespect her parents so much! She can't be a disloyal An unfilial person!" Wei Yichen said.

Hearing this, Wei Yilin's eyes widened in disbelief: "What are you talking about, big brother? Why is big sister unfaithful and unfilial? Big sister has been taking care of daddy! Feeding medicine, changing medicine, and cleaning body are all done by big sister! How could my sister not take care of my father?"

Wei Yichen was stunned when he heard the words: "Yilin, what are you talking about?"

"I said that my eldest sister has been taking care of my father. During the three most dangerous nights when my father was most dangerous, my eldest sister was on guard! Only when my father's injury was no longer in danger, did my eldest sister go back to rest." Wei Yilin explained eagerly.

"How do you know?" Wei Yichen asked.

"Of course I know, because I am also there! I watched the night with my big sister!" Wei Yilin explained.

Wei Yichen's face was frozen and his eyes were round.

Seeing that he didn't believe his words, Wei Yilin hurriedly added: "If you don't believe me, you can ask Dr. Cheng, other members of the family, Jing Hu, Cuiping, and Madam Zhang. Everyone knows about it!"

Listening to Wei Yilin's explanation, both Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan showed expressions of surprise.

Ms. Yun was completely in a state of confusion these two days, and passed out once again in the middle, so it is not very clear who is serving Wei Mingting in front of the bed these few days, but she has indeed seen Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin guarding the night together.

And Wei Qingwan didn't expect that Wei Yilin, who always hated Wei Ruo, would watch the night with Wei Ruo, and now she stood up to defend Wei Ruo and help her explain.

In the past two days, she has also been restless. She is worried that something will happen to her father, who is the pillar of the family, and she is also worried that something will happen to her mother who loves her. She is too stupid to care about so many things. Not sure.

Wei Yichen froze.

Although Wei Yilin is young, he will not lie about this kind of thing, not to mention there are so many witnesses!

The hand holding Wei Ruo's arm suddenly lost all strength.

Wei Yilin hurriedly lifted Wei Ruo's clothes and checked her arms.

Bai Nen's arm was pinched with red marks, and the slap marks on her face were also very eye-catching.

Wei Yilin had a distressed look on his little face, "Big sister, are you okay?"

Wei Ruo lowered his sleeves to cover his arms.

Then he sneered and said to Wei Yichen: "How is Big Brother going to repay my slap?"

Wei Yichen felt a pain in his heart, "I made a mistake, so please return this slap."

Then stood still in place.

Hearing this, Yun took a step forward: "Okay, okay, just explain clearly, I know it was a misunderstanding, now I have made it clear, and your elder brother also knows that I misunderstood you, so don't talk to your elder brother again." Angry."

Yun said to Wei Ruo: "Your elder brother is also impatient, and now he knows that you were wronged. We are all a family, and we are all for the good of the family. There is no overnight hatred."

Wei Ruo didn't let it go as Yun's wished: "I can't get this slap in vain. When I get the slap back, come and tell me if there is any overnight feud."

Wen Yanyun asked Wei Ruo sternly: "Do you still want to slap your elder brother? He is your elder brother, and his elders and children are orderly! It is only natural for him to hit you, but it is treasonous for you to hit him! If you dare to slap this guy today Slap in the face, don't say that the Wei family can't tolerate you in the future, and the entire Taizhou government can't tolerate you!"

Even if he made a mistake, the elder brother can still hit the younger sister, and as a younger sister, he is determined not to hit his elder brother!

Wei Yilin also took Wei Ruo's hand and said, "Big sister, you can't hit big brother! Calm down, big brother didn't mean it either!"

Wei Qingwan slightly raised her head to look at Wei Ruo. She didn't speak, but she knew that if Wei Ruo dared to slap this slap today, she would push herself into the abyss of unfilial piety and injustice.

Then the good reputation she had accumulated outside is probably going to be wiped out.

Wei Ruo raised his hand, and when he heard Yun's warning, he suddenly turned around and slapped Wei Qingwan **** the face.

Before Wei Qingwan could react, she was almost thrown over.

Other people in the room were also stunned.

By the time everyone reacted, Wei Qingwan's left cheek was already in pain from Wei Ruo's beating, and she was in a dazed state, only the pain on her face reminded her of what happened just now.

Wei Yilin looked at Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan helplessly, not knowing what to do for a while.

"Ruoer, what are you doing?" Wei Yichen took a step forward, protecting Wei Qingwan behind him, and then looked directly at Wei Ruo angrily.

"Today's incident can be said to be caused by sister Qingwan's inability to explain the truth clearly. She can explain the truth of the matter with a few simple sentences, but her answer is ambiguous and misunderstood. This caused my elder brother to misunderstand me. Qingwan My younger sister has been studying for many years, why can't she even explain such a few simple sentences? Why didn't she ask the truth when she saw her elder brother getting angry? Therefore, as the eldest sister, she has reason to ask younger sister Qingwan." Wei Ruo replied .

She really can't hit Wei Yichen because he is the elder brother, but she can hit Wei Qingwan!

"Wanwan just didn't make it clear, and she didn't deliberately wrong you. Even if you want to be held accountable, you shouldn't hit people." Wei Yichen said angrily.

"Isn't it wrong to hit people as soon as you come up? But I learned from you, big brother! Isn't that how big brother blames me?" Wei Ruo replied.

Wei Yichen was left speechless by Wei Ruo's question, unable to utter a single rebuttal.

Yun looked at Wei Ruo's defiant look, and said angrily, "What's your attitude now? Are you complaining about your elder brother's discipline?"

"Mother, don't be angry. I'm just imitating how my elder brother disciplined me to discipline my younger sister Qingwan. I hope that next time younger sister Qingwan can speak clearly and thoroughly when answering questions from other people in the family, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." , causing discord among the family."

Wei Ruo answered Yun's words calmly, with a calm demeanor and a gentle tone.

Then Wei Ruo looked at Wei Qingwan again, and said unhurriedly, "I didn't complain about elder brother, I believe sister Qingwan won't complain about me because of my teaching, right?"

Wei Qingwan's body trembled, the blood on her face faded completely, and the place hit by Wei Ruo's palm turned bright red. She pinched the hem of her skirt with both hands, suppressing her anger and grievance towards Wei Ruo.

Chapter 256 Wei Mingting's Punishment

Yun Shi was irritated by Wei Ruo's attitude and answer, breath surged in his chest, and he was about to explode, but held back at the last moment.

Because Wei Mingting was right next to him, and Wei Mingting was still seriously injured, she didn't dare to add fuel to the flames to make things worse, for fear that if the trouble continued, her husband would be angry and his injury would be aggravated.

Wei Qingwan didn't answer Wei Ruo's words, Wei Ruo turned around, blessed Wei Mingting who was on the hospital bed, and said, "Today's recklessness has disturbed my father's rest, if my father wants to punish her, my daughter is willing to punish him, but no matter what Do it again several times, no matter what kind of punishment you receive, the daughter will seek justice for herself."

Wei Mingting said: "I'm not angry with you, you can go back to your room to rest today, I'll be in better condition some other day, then discuss."

Wei Mingting did not blame Wei Ruo for his behavior today, but asked her to go back first.

Wei Mingting's attitude was beyond the expectations of others, especially Wei Qingwan. His father was always strict. Today, Wei Qingruo made such a fuss, no matter how big or small, he should be punished according to reason, but his father didn't say a single serious word to Wei Qingruo.

"Daughter resigns." Wei Ruo blessed himself again, then turned and left without looking back.

After Wei Ruo left, Wei Mingting opened his mouth and said to Wei Yichen: "Yichen, as the eldest brother, there is nothing wrong with teaching your younger siblings, but you are wrong for beating Ruo'er today without seeking evidence. There are so many witnesses in the mansion, As long as you ask a few questions, you won't make this mistake."

"Son knows he was wrong." Wei Yichen really knew what he did wrong.

I just feel that this matter is his fault, not Wanwan's. Wanwan's slap was wronged.

"Punish you to copy the family rules twenty times, do you have any objection?" Wei Mingting asked.

"My son has no objection." Wei Yichen replied.

Wei Mingting's eyes fell on Wei Qingwan again: "It's true that your sister slapped you a little harder, but what she said made some sense. You really didn't make things clear. You need to be more careful next time."

Wei Qingwan couldn't believe that her father thought she was at fault, which meant that she was slapped for nothing!

Wei Qingwan was so wronged that her body trembled uncontrollably, her heart seemed to have been hit several times with a hammer.

Biting her lip, Wei Qingwan endured the grievance and responded: "Daughter knows my mistake..."

"You all go down first." Wei Mingting said to the three children in front of him.

"yes."

Wei Yichen and Wei Qingwan resigned, Wei Yilin looked at Wei Mingting for a while, his expression was a bit tangled, but he left the room obediently.

Yun Shi who stayed behind hastily stepped forward: "Husband, what's wrong?"

Yun was worried that Wei Ruo's noise would make Wei Mingting angry and affect the recovery of the injury.

"I'm fine. I'm not made of paper, such a little thing won't hurt me." Wei Mingting said.

Wei Mingting, a person who has fought in the battlefield all the year round, is not comparable to a woman in a boudoir like Yun's. Although the conflicts between the children should not be underestimated, they will not make him angry.

Hearing what Wei Mingting said, Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Wei Mingting cautiously: "Your husband is really not angry with Ruo'er? She was like that just now..."

"Her temperament is a bit similar to me when I was young. She can't stand wronged, especially wronged. What's more, it is true that Yichen made mistakes first, so why is she reckless." Wei Mingting replied.

"But Yichen is the eldest brother, even if she made a mistake, she wouldn't... and slap Wanwan... Husband just saw that half of Wanwan's face was slapped by Ruoer Swollen."

Yun Shi felt that Wei Qingwan's slap in the face was really wronged.

"This is a truth. As long as you think Yichen can beat Ruo'er, then Ruo'er can beat Wanwan well. There is no difference between the two." Wei Mingting said slowly.

"How can this be the same? Yichen made a mistake unintentionally. He made such a move because of a misunderstanding. Ruo'er, she knew clearly that Yichen misunderstood Wanwan's words, but because she couldn't beat Yichen, she made this move." A slap hit Wanwan's body..."

"Ma'am, these two things are the same, you either think you can fight both, or you think you can't fight both, and you can't think you can fight at the same time." Wei Mingting said.

Hearing this, Yun has nothing to say.

Wei Mingting said again: "What's more, what Ruo'er said is also reasonable. Ruo'er asked Wanwan several times, but Wanwan couldn't explain the matter clearly once. If this happened in the military camp, it must be dealt with by military law."

Although Wei Mingting was physically weak, he had sharp ears and eyes, and could hear the process clearly.

The words that Wei Qingwan caused Wei Yichen to misunderstand were said in front of him. When he heard that answer, he also thought that the eldest daughter didn't care about him just like the eldest son.

At that time, he also felt a little disappointed, but he was not as angry as the eldest son, but felt that the eldest daughter must have a reason for doing so.

Wei Mingting is a soldier. In the army, whether it is a report from a subordinate to the superior or an order from the superior to the subordinate, it is required to be simple, clear, clear and understandable. Ambiguous words that lead to misunderstanding will lead to big troubles.

Therefore, in Wei Mingting's view, there are problems with this way of answering.

Hearing Wei Mingting's dissatisfaction with Wei Qingwan in his tone, Yun couldn't help Wei Qingwan anymore for a while. Her husband's views on some things are indeed different from her own.

"The concubine knows."

Yun's opinion is still based on Wei Mingting's opinion, whatever Wei Mingting thinks is right, she also thinks so.

After Wei Qingwan left Cangyun Garden, her eyes turned red, and before she walked back to Wangmei Garden, tears fell one by one like a broken pearl chain.

Wei Yichen, who caught up with her, saw her like this, and blamed himself: "I'm sorry Wanwan, I hurt you."

Wei Yichen knew that a kind-hearted younger sister would not do such a thing on purpose. She did not make it clear that he had a misunderstanding, but that was definitely not her original intention.

So Wei Yichen felt that the fault of this matter was his own, and it was his reckless behavior that caused both sisters to be hurt.

Wei Qingwan shook her head: "It's none of my elder brother's business, what my sister said was not wrong, it was my fault, I didn't make it clear, which caused a misunderstanding between elder brother and elder sister, it was my fault, elder sister and father punished me rightly. "

"Don't say that, big brother knows you didn't mean it." Wei Yichen said distressedly, then looked at Wei Qingwan's red and swollen cheeks, and said, "You are suffering for big brother this time, and big brother owes you."

Wei Qingwan shook her head again: "No, my sister should hit me, brother don't blame yourself."

While speaking, Wei Qingwan bit her lower lip and said, "If the slap I received today can calm my sister's anger and bring harmony to the family, it will be very worthwhile."

Chapter 257 Don't do this next time

"Wanwan..." Wei Yichen felt pain in his heart, and said distressedly, "Yes, with Wanwan's heart, the family will get better and better. I will talk to Ruo'er in the future, and don't hate her. , when she understands, she will understand Wanwan that you didn't do it on purpose, and she will realize her problem."

"Don't worry, big brother. I won't bear any grudges against my sister. I understand my sister's feelings very well. My sister's time back home is still short. I should be more considerate of her. Big brother should leave me alone. Go find my sister. She should be more considerate than me." I need my elder brother's understanding and comfort even more." Wei Qingwan replied.

Seeing Wei Qingwan like this, Wei Yichen was moved.

Seeing that it was already too late, Wei Yichen said to Wei Qingwan, "You should rest well, and don't think about what happened today."

Wei Qingwan nodded.

Then Wei Yichen watched Wei Qingwan enter the house, and then went back to the residence to copy the family rules.

At the same time, as soon as Wei Ruo stepped into the gate of Tingsongyuan, Wei Yilin chased him in with his back foot.

"Is there something wrong?"

Wei Ruo looked back at Wei Yilin who was standing at her door, feeling that he had something to say.

Wei Yilin didn't speak, his face was full of anger, he turned his head and sat down on the wicker chair that Wei Ruo put in the yard, with his mouth flattened, not knowing why he was angry.

It seemed that he was angry that she slapped Wei Qingwan, but for some unknown reason, he didn't speak directly, but just stared at her with his small eyes.

Wei Ruo waited for him for a while, and saw that he still didn't speak, so he left it alone and went into the room on his own.

Xiumei saw that her lady didn't care, so she didn't care, and went into the house to serve Wei Ruo.

Miss's cheeks have to be medicated, otherwise she is afraid that her face will swell.

Wei Ruo sat in front of the dressing table after applying the ointment, looked out the window into the yard, and by the moonlight, Wei Ruo saw that Wei Yilin was still sitting on the wicker chair.

"He didn't want to sit in Miss's yard all night, did he?" Xiumei said.

"Let him sit if he wants to sit. It's not very cold these days, and with his good physique, nothing will happen if he sits for a night." Wei Ruo said, paused, and added, "Go get him some Some cakes and tea, and a blanket for him."

"good."

Xiumei did as she did, took pastries and orange tea and placed them beside Wei Yilin, and then covered Wei Yilin with a blanket.

Wei Yilin glanced at it, but still didn't speak, and sat there still puffed up.

Xiumei came back and said to Wei Ruo: "Miss, I am not sure whether he is angry with you or sulk with himself!"

Wei Ruodao: "Probably all of them. After all, I beat his closest sister, Wan Wan. If this happened before, I would probably have been desperate for me!"

To be honest, Wei Yilin didn't rush over to find her desperately, which was already a rather unexpected reaction.

Wei Yilin sat in the courtyard for more than an hour, and he didn't stand up until Wei Ruo came to the courtyard again.

He puffed his cheeks, and then said to Wei Ruo with what he thought was a serious expression: "Next time you can't do this again!"

"How is it?" Wei Ruo asked.

"You can't beat Sister Wanwan, you're angry because you're angry, but you can't take your anger out on the innocent Sister Wanwan, she didn't speak well, but she definitely didn't mean it!" Wei Yilin said with a stern face.

"So you've been sitting here with me for so long just to tell me this?"

"This is very serious! You were the one who was wronged today, but you hit sister Wanwan. I don't know whether I should love you more or be angry with you more!" Wei Yilin said sullenly.

"You sound conflicted."

"In short, you promise me that you won't do this next time, and I won't be angry with you today." Wei Yilin thought for more than an hour, and finally came to such a conclusion.

"I can't promise you. I don't think I did anything wrong even today. If you want to get angry, you can continue to live." Wei Ruo has a clear attitude.

"You...how are you..." Wei Yilin stomped his feet depressed by Wei Ruo's answer.

"Wei Yilin, I have my own set of principles in doing things. I didn't do anything wrong today. The innocent sister Wanwan you think she said something misleading more than once. You can say that she didn't mean it. , but not on purpose doesn't mean she's not at fault. What's more, how do you know she didn't do it on purpose?"

"She just didn't do it on purpose! You don't know Sister Wanwan, she is very kind to everyone, how could she deliberately say something to mislead elder brother, it's not good for her! Sister Wanwan is neither bad nor stupid! "Wei Yilin explained.

"That's what you think. I don't think so. Without factual basis, you can't ask me to think the same as you."

In the past, Wei Ruo would have been too lazy to argue so much with Wei Yilin, but today Wei Yilin stepped forward to testify for her, so Wei Ruo said a few more words to him.

Although she said it, Wei Ruo didn't expect her to change Wei Yilin's mind by saying these words.

Wei Yilin pursed his lips and didn't speak for a while, but from his expression, it could be seen that he was still very unconvinced, and even wanted to continue to persuade Wei Ruo.

"Okay, it's already late, go back, you can be angry or anything else, you can't do anything about me now, why don't you go back and get a good sleep to recharge your batteries."

Wei Ruo said, stretched out his hand and took Wei Yilin's arm and walked out of the courtyard.

Wei Yilin was reluctant, but did not resist.

Wei Ruo pushed Wei Yilin out of Tingsong Garden, and then closed the courtyard door.

Looking at the closed courtyard door, Wei Yilin stomped his feet, then walked sullenly to his own residence.

At the end of April in the lunar calendar, the weather is warmer again, with plenty of sunshine and rain, which is a good time for seedlings to grow vigorously and winter wheat harvest.

Wei Mingting's health has improved a lot in the past few days, and he can already get out of bed and walk around.

After that day, Wei Ruo went to Cangyun Garden to see Wei Mingting once a day, but Wei Mingting didn't mention Wei Ruo's troubles that day, but asked Wei Ruo about some field affairs.

"Master Qian from Xingshan County sent me a message in the past few days, saying that the wheat you planted at that time was growing very well, and the farmers who opened up wasteland in the south of the city have started harvesting one after another. The harvested wheat yield High, full of particles, everyone is overjoyed."

The bumper harvest of wheat also meant that the wasteland improvement plan in the south of Xingshan County was successful. This was a great achievement for Mr. Qian, who is the magistrate of the county, and the Seventh Prince who presided over the matter. Naturally, the two were extremely happy.

"Well, a good harvest will be good." Wei Ruo actually knew the news a long time ago, and it was in Wei Ruo's expectation.

"Ruo'er really did a great thing for the common people." Wei Yichen commented again.

Chapter 258 I don't want to talk to you

Wei Ruo said in a calm tone: "I did what I could, but they had to grow the last wheat by themselves. It was their own hard work that got rewarded."

Wei Mingting looked at Wei Ruo, and the pride in his heart couldn't help overflowing his chest.

"These days are the time when the winter wheat is ripe. If Ruo'er is busy these few days, you don't have to come to my place to say hello. I'm fine." Wei Mingting said again.

Although Wei Ruo is no longer in charge of the wasteland in the south of the city in Xingshan County, Wei Mingting guesses that Wei Ruo is busy these days, and most of them are also busy with field affairs, although he still doesn't know what Wei Ruo is doing these days. .

Hearing this, Wei Ruo looked at Wei Mingting, thought for a while and replied, "No delay."

While Wei Ruo and Wei Mingting were chatting, Dr. Cheng came.

In the past few days, doctor Cheng will still come to Wei Mansion every day to check Wei Mingting's body.

When I came here today, Wei Ruo happened to be there, so Doctor Cheng said with a smile: "Master Wei is really lucky to have a daughter like a big girl. When you are in critical condition, it is really thanks to the big girl. Not only is she calm and calm, but she is also responsible for dealing with it." , and helped me, an old man, a lot."

Hearing Dr. Cheng's praise to Wei Ruo, Wei Mingting was a little surprised. He only knew that his eldest daughter took care of him during the time when he was seriously injured and was unconscious, but he didn't know other details.

"Oh? What else did my son do?" Wei Mingting asked Dr. Cheng.

"At that time, Mrs. Venerable and Second Miss were in a mess. They had no masters. The upright young masters were not at home. It was the eldest lady who arranged the people in the house properly and calmed people's hearts. Later, the medicinal materials I needed to treat Mr. Wei could not be bought in the city, and it was also The big girl came up with the method, and the medicinal materials were found by the searcher." Doctor Cheng replied.

Doctor Cheng added: "Not only that, but when I used a knife to treat Master Wei's wound later on, it was the eldest girl who assisted me. The eldest girl was calm and composed, and her thoughts were delicate. She really did a good job for Master Wei's physical recovery." A lot of contributions."

Although Dr. Cheng can't directly tell about Wei Ruo's medical treatment, he also wants to explain Wei Ruo's contribution from other aspects.

Hearing this, Wei Mingting turned his head to look at Wei Ruo, "Why didn't you hear Ruoer mention it to me?"

"It's a matter of duty, there is nothing to say." Wei Ruo replied.

Wei Mingting was both happy and somewhat emotional. His daughter is really capable and calm, and capable of taking on great responsibilities.

Dr. Cheng checked Wei Mingting and said: "Master Wei's body is recovering very well, but you still can't overwork or exert yourself in the past few days. Make sure you have rest time. The medicine is still the same as last time. Take it on time."

"Doctor Cheng is here." Wei Mingting said.

"Then I'll take my leave first, Mr. Wei is good at self-cultivation."

Doctor Cheng left after exhorting a few words.

Not long after Doctor Cheng left, Wei Yichen also came.

"Father." Wei Yichen greeted Wei Mingting, and then his eyes fell on Wei Ruo.

In the past two days, he went to look for Wei Ruo several times, and wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Wei Ruo alone several times, but Wei Ruo avoided him.

Wei Ruo avoided Wei Yichen's sight, pretending not to see the desire to talk to her in his eyes.

Wei Yichen had no choice but to turn his gaze back to Wei Mingting, concerned about Wei Mingting's physical condition: "How is father today? Is there any discomfort?"

"No problem, your body is getting better day by day, so you don't have to worry about it." Wei Mingting replied.

While talking, Wei Mingting told Wei Yichen what Doctor Cheng told him just now: "Dr. Cheng came here just now, and told me that in those few days, Ruoer was in charge of the overall situation at home to keep the house in order. Later, he also assisted Doctor Cheng in treating illnesses with medicines. , the missing herbs were also found by Ruo'er."

Wei Yichen was taken aback for a moment, then turned to Wei Ruo and said, "Thank you, sister Ruoer."

Wei Ruo didn't answer, just nodded slightly, and then continued to stand beside Wei Mingting expressionlessly.

If you want to say that she didn't respond, she nodded, saying that she responded, but she really didn't say a word to Wei Yichen.

Wei Mingting saw it, but didn't say anything, let alone asked Wei Ruo to respond to Wei Yichen.

Then Wei Mingting asked Wei Yichen some things, all about Wei Yichen's recent situation in the academy, and Wei Yichen answered them one by one.

Wei Yichen stayed well in Anzhou College, and his excellent performance was praised and recognized by the academy's teachers.

After learning about his son's situation in the academy, Wei Mingting said: "Work hard, do your best in this year's autumn exam, don't put too much pressure on yourself, you are still young, and you will have more opportunities in the future."

"Son understands." Wei Yichen replied.

"Okay, both of you go back, you don't have to stay here with me all the time, I have your mother taking care of me, nothing can happen."

Wei Mingting asked Wei Yichen and Wei Ruo to go back.

Wei Yichen and Wei Ruo resigned, and then left Cangyun Garden together.

Wei Ruo walked in front, walking fast, and Wei Yichen chased after him. After leaving the courtyard gate, Wei Yichen ran in front of Wei Ruo, blocking her way.

"Ruo'er."

Wei Ruo didn't want to talk to him: "I still have something to do."

After finishing speaking, Wei Ruo quickly walked away from Wei Yichen, and walked quickly to Tingsongyuan, not giving Wei Yichen a chance to continue talking to her.

Wei Yichen stood on the spot, watching Wei Ruo's retreating figure, his brows were furrowed involuntarily.

After a while, he walked to his residence.

Wei Ruo returned to Tingsongyuan, and Xiumei handed over a box.

"Miss, this was brought back by the second young master. It was given to me by the guard Jing when I went to the big kitchen to pick up things."

Wei Ruo took the small box and entered the room.

Sitting in front of the dresser, Wei Ruo opened the box.

There is a letter on the top of the box. Wei Ruo picked up the letter, and there is a crystal clear jade pendant under the letter.

Wei Ruo opened the letter, but there were only a few numbers: everything is fine, don't read it.

It's really the second brother's style, cherishing words like gold. Even if it is writing a letter, it is not long-winded.

It's just that people have sent letters from thousands of miles, so why don't you write a few more words? Even talking about everyday things is fine.

Wei Ruo picked up the jade pendant in the box again, put it in his hand and examined it carefully.

It seems that this texture should be a very valuable item, but why did the second brother give her a jade pendant for no reason?

Is it because I know that she loves money, so I gave her a piece of valuable jade pendant?

At this time, Xiumei came over and said, "Miss, when the Jing guard gave me the things, he also said that if the miss is short of medicinal materials, you can take the things in the box and go to the Fengyue teahouse in the east of the city to find Boss Hao inside."

"Really?" Wei Ruo's eyes lit up.

Medical materials have always been in short supply in Taizhou, and this problem has troubled Wei Ruo for a long time.

Chapter 259 Winter Wheat Harvest

A few days ago, she promised Xu Zhengyong to prepare medicinal materials for him, but in fact, except for the medicine from the medicinal field that she and Xie Yingying managed together in Xingshan County, there were no other medicinal materials.

The medicine field that she and Xie Yingying run together has only planted four kinds of basic medicines for wound medicine that are relatively scarce, and they are relatively easy to grow.

Xiumei nodded: "That's what Jing Wei said, and he also said that some medicine has been stored for the young lady over there."

"Great!" Wei Ruo couldn't hide his joy.

Xiumei was also very happy: "Second young master is really thoughtful. Even if he is not in Taizhou, he seems to be able to think of Miss's difficulties and help her to solve her urgent needs as if she has a good understanding with Miss."

Wei Ruo thought for a while and said, "Go back and ask Guard Jing if you can bring me a letter to my second brother."

"Well, I'm going to find the well guard!"

Without waiting for the next time, Xiumei ran out immediately.

Wei Ruoze sat down at the desk, picked up a pen, and began to think about the reply to Wei Jinyi.

Xiumei came back after a while, and brought back Jing Hu's reply: "Guard Jing said, you can reply to the letter, but I'm not sure when it will be delivered to the second young master."

"As long as you can bring it."

Wei Ruo didn't have any urgent matters, so he didn't ask how soon it could be delivered.

So Wei Ruo sat in front of the desk and wrote for a while. Naturally, she would not be stingy with pen and ink like Wei Jinyi, and wrote three pages in a short while.

Most of the talks were trivial things, and he told Wei Jinyi about everything that happened recently, except for the slap in the face, which Wei Ruo didn't want Wei Jin to know.

Wei Ruo sealed the written letter in an envelope and asked Xiumei to give it to Jing Hu.

The winter wheat that Wei Ruo planted on Zhuangzi in Fucheng was a few days later than the winter wheat in Xingshan County, so the harvest time was also later.

The harvesting started, and everyone in Zhuangzi got busy.

For several days, everyone got up early and felt dark, and the barns that had been vacant were quickly filled with wheat.

The happiness of harvest permeates everyone in Zhuangzi.

Wei Ruo is naturally very happy, she likes the feeling of grain filling the warehouse.

No matter what happens to the rice production this year, with this wave of wheat harvest, Wei Ruo's Zhuangzi can ensure that there will be no shortage of food when this year reaches the end of the year.

Boss Yu reported to Wei Ruo very excitedly: "Miss, our wheat yield per mu has reached 1,000 catties! I can't believe it, this is actually true! One mu of land can harvest a thousand catties of wheat!"

In the past, although rice was the main crop on their farm, a small portion of the land would be set aside to grow a little wheat. The yield of wheat was mostly three to five hundred catties per mu. If one mu of land could reach five hundred catties, That would have been a bountiful harvest.

But today's yield per mu has actually reached one thousand catties! This made the people in Zhuangzi dumbfounded.

In fact, before the harvest, when everyone looked at the plump and large ears of wheat, they already had a premonition that the harvest of this batch of wheat this year would be very good, but no one expected that it would reach a yield of one thousand catties per mu.

Wei Ruo smiled: "The wheat species used are better, they have been carefully cultivated and improved, and the yield is indeed better than what everyone has grown in the past."

These are all wheat seeds produced in her space, and the quality is naturally not comparable to the original local wheat seeds.

Staff Yu still couldn't help being excited: "Miss, according to the development of this situation, even if the weather is still as bad as in previous years, our Zhuangzi will not have to worry about food! We can still earn a lot of money!"

"All the wheat is harvested, and we won't sell it outside for the time being." Wei Ruo reminded.

"Miss, don't worry, we won't tamper with the grain in the village without your words." Manager Yu assured.

Wei Ruo nodded.

"As soon as the wheat is harvested, we will arrange people to plow the land, top-dress fertilizer, and transplant the seedlings we have raised into the paddy fields from the seedling fields." Wei Ruo said.

"Miss, don't worry, I have already ordered this matter, and I will never miss the time for planting rice."

Wei Ruo was very relieved that Manager Yu was doing things. Even if Wei Ruo didn't order some things, Manager Yu would know to tell the people under him to do them.

Wei Ruo and Yu Guanshi were talking, and the servants came to report that Boss Fan from Zuixianju came.

"Is he here?" Wei Ruo asked.

"Yes, Boss Fan is right outside the door." The servant replied.

Wei Ruo was suspicious. Fan Chengxu usually sent someone to invite Wei Ruo to Zuixianju when he wanted to see Wei Ruo. Why did he come to the door in person today?

After thinking for a while, Wei Ruo said: "Please bring people in."

"yes."

With Wei Ruo's consent, the servants went outside and invited Fan Chengxu in.

Wei Ruo received Fan Chengxu in the courtyard: "Boss Fan, my place is simple, so I can only wrong you to meet me in this courtyard."

While talking, Wei Ruo invited Fan Chengxu to sit in front of the stone table, and poured him freshly brewed tea.

"I think Mr. Xu's place is not simple, but very elegant." Fan Chengxu said.

"It can't be compared with Boss Fan's Zuixianju." Wei Ruo replied.

"I've heard that the wheat harvest on Mr. Xu's village has been bumper, and the yield per mu is extremely high." Fan Chengxu said.

Wei Ruoxiao: "Boss Fan, you are too well-informed about this news, aren't you? I just found out about the yield per mu in my village. How come you already know about it?"

"I don't know the exact number, but the people nearby are spreading the word that the wheat harvested from your village has piled up into hills, which is not a little bit higher than the average output." Fan Chengxu said.

Wei Ruo smiled and agreed.

After all, this matter is obvious to all, and there is nothing to hide, and there is nothing to hide.

The smile on Fan Chengxu's face became stronger: "Mr. Xu, I wonder how you think about the thing I proposed last time?"

I don't know if it's because he can't wait, or because he is more convinced that Wei Ruo has the ability to help his tea garden improve after hearing the news of Wei Ruo's Zhuangzi's harvest of winter wheat. Fan Chengxu personally came to Wei Ruo's Zhuangzi to ask about it.

"There have been a lot of things recently, and I haven't thought about it very much." Wei Ruo replied.

"Then why not think about it now." Fan Chengxu said with a smile.

"This matter is more complicated. I'm afraid I can't think clearly about it for a while." Wei Ruo said.

"How about a complex method?" Fan Chengxu asked.

"Tea is a very wide-ranging matter, and there are many factors that affect the taste of tea. In addition to the variety of tea, the environment in which it grows, the climate of the year, and the timing of picking, the taste of tea will be affected, as well as the way the tea is processed later. , the baking process and storage conditions will all be affected, Boss Fan only said that he wants to ask me for help and cooperate with me, but he doesn't know which aspect of cooperation he is talking about?" Wei Ruo asked.

Chapter 260 What I want is a cooperative relationship

After listening to Wei Ruo's words, the smile on Fan Chengxu's face became stronger: "I always like to look at the price of the goods and the price of the person. No matter what aspect it is, as long as Mr. Xu can help me improve the output, quality, and quality of my tea. I am willing to pay a corresponding proportion according to Mr. Xu's contribution."

"So the cooperation proposed by Boss Fan is to let me advise Boss Fan, and then Boss Fan will pay me correspondingly according to the income?" Wei Ruo asked.

"Exactly."

"Then forgive me for not agreeing."

"Why?" Fan Chengxu looked at Wei Ruo with doubts.

Xu Heyou is a person who loves money, so he has no reason to reject such a good opportunity to make money.

"Compared to helping Boss Fan to get paid, I prefer to do business with Boss Fan. It is a relationship of equality and cooperation, not an employment relationship." Wei Ruo said.

Fan Chengxu put away the smile on his face, and his eyes were a little bit colder: "Mr. Xu's appetite seems to be a bit big. Do you think Mr. Xu can be equal to me with your current strength?"

Wei Ruo didn't blame him, still smiling: "If Boss Fan thinks my proposal is inappropriate, you can hire another Gao Ming, I don't mind."

Fan Chengxu looked at Wei Ruo's expression, admiring her calm expression.

After a while, the smile on Fan Chengxu's cold face returned: "You are very bold, but it just so happens that I don't like step-by-step procedures. I want to try to cooperate with Mr. Xu. I don't know how Mr. Xu wants to cooperate." What about the law?"

If Xu Heyou was afraid just now, then he might have regretted it, but he was not afraid, which made him want to agree instead.

"I can participate in the whole process from planting, picking, roasting to final sales of tea trees, and I will share half and half with Boss Fan for the income of the tea garden I have improved." Wei Ruo said.

"Half to half, Mr. Xu knows that the tea garden is my property, and I use my people, my contacts, and my sales channels." Fan Chengxu said.

"What I want to share is the part of the income that was improved compared to the original one. I don't share the money you could earn before, but because of the part that I got the promotion, I will take half of it. If the part of the promotion is brought by me, Then why don't I go half way?" Wei Ruo said.

"It sounds reasonable." Fan Chengxu commented.

"Boss Fan can think carefully about it. I'm not in a hurry to get an answer. If Boss Fan thinks it's inappropriate, he can reject me." Wei Ruo is not overly enthusiastic about this matter.

"It sounds like I'm in a passive position in this transaction." Fan Chengxu laughed.

"Boss Fan can't think like this. He can only say that we are equal in this relationship and are mutually beneficial. If we reach an agreement, we will start a new cooperative relationship. If we can't reach an agreement, then our business will not be righteous. Or can we maintain the original cooperative relationship, what does Boss Fan think?"

Fan Chengxu laughed lightly: "What to do, I think what you said makes sense."

Wei Ruo followed Fan Chengxu's smile.

Then Fan Chengxu said: "In this case, I will take out one of my tea gardens and try it out. I hope Mr. Xu will not disappoint me."

On the second day after negotiating with Fan Chengxu, Fan Chengxu sent someone to pick Wei Ruo to his tea garden.

Wei Ruo took Xiumei into Fan Chengxu's carriage.

Compared with Wei Ruo's usual carriage, Fan Chengxu's carriage is more spacious and comfortable. Moreover, this specification cannot be used by ordinary merchants, even the richest merchants are not allowed to use it.

Arriving at the place, Wei Ruo got off the carriage and looked up to see the four characters Yu Sheng Tea Garden written on the wooden plaque at the entrance of the tea garden.

And there were already three people waiting at the door, one of them was shopkeeper Shen whom Wei Ruo had known before.

Shopkeeper Shen greeted him with a smile on his face: "Master Xu, my son has asked me to wait here a long time ago. Since my son has other things to do, I will take you to inspect the tea garden today."

"I'm tired of the shopkeeper." Wei Ruo replied with a smile.

Wei Ruo followed Shopkeeper Shen to the tea garden.

Yusheng Tea Garden is a whole tea mountain, so after entering the gate of the tea garden, there are stairs to go up.

Both sides of the stairs are rows of waist-high tea trees. This time coincides with the harvesting time of evening tea, so Wei Ruo can see some tea picking women on the hillsides on both sides of the road, who are harvesting tea.

However, the quality of the tea at this time is not very good. As the temperature rises, the branches and leaves of the tea trees grow wildly, and the tea leaves are large and long, and the taste becomes stronger and bitterer.

Green tea is the most precious when the first batch of new buds are drawn out just after the beginning of spring. After that, one batch is not as good as one batch, and one crop is not as good as one crop.

"What is the price of the picked tea leaves now?" Wei Ruo asked Shopkeeper Shen.

"Nowadays, the tea leaves can't be sold at a high price, and the nobles don't drink them. They are usually drunk by ordinary people. A catty of tea leaves costs 20 Wen." Shopkeeper Shen explained.

The tea at this price is not what Fan Chengxu wants to sell.

It's just that the tea trees grow here, and it's a waste if you don't collect them. It's better to make a small profit than to make no money at all.

Wei Ruo stopped and looked intently at the tea leaves picked by the tea picker next to her.

Immediately afterwards, she stretched out her hand to the tea basket in front of the tea picker. The tea picker didn't know what Wei Ruo was going to do. Seeing that it was a young man reaching out to her, she instinctively backed away in fright.

Shopkeeper Shen hurriedly explained: "This is our son's distinguished guest, you don't have to be afraid."

Wei Ruo smiled and said, "Don't panic, I'll just look at the tea leaves you picked."

After listening to the explanation, the tea picking girl let down her guard.

Wei Ruo took some fresh tea leaves from the tea basket, looked at them carefully in the palm of his hand, and then showed a meaningful smile on his face.

At this moment, a plan was brewing in her heart.

At this time in this world, black tea, yellow tea, and dark tea have not yet appeared. Generally speaking, the tenderer the green tea, the more valuable it is, but if it is fermented tea such as black tea, yellow tea, or dark tea, it does not necessarily require Such tender tea leaves.

Wei Ruo said to Shopkeeper Shen at the side: "Will these tea leaves be sent directly for frying after they are picked?"

"Of course, the tea leaves must be roasted while they are fresh. If it is too late, the tea leaves will be dried, and the color and aroma will be even worse." Shopkeeper Shen explained.

"The tea leaves picked today are spread out with a dustpan, not roasted." Wei Ruo said.

"Master Xu, this tea will wither if left overnight!" Shopkeeper Shen said in surprise.

"I know, I just need it to fade." Wei Ruo replied.

"How many catties of tea does Mr. Xu need to store like this?" Shopkeeper Shen asked again.

Black tea, yellow tea, and black tea appeared in the middle and late Ming Dynasty in history.
