Chapter 104 Xie Ying’s gossip
Wei Ruo was not interested in the activities of a group of ladies and ladies, but he was very interested in wandering around the streets of Fucheng.
So after simply dressing up, she followed Yun out happily.
However, Mrs. Yun asked Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan to stay in the carriage as much as possible. If they want to get off the carriage and enter the store, they must wear their curtain hats and not take them off easily. The maid must follow closely behind them.
Naturally, Wei Ruo couldn't stay any longer. When he arrived at a busy place, he got out of the car and wandered among various shops and vendors.
After walking around for a while, I met Xie Ying.
"Ruoruo!"
Xie Ying's sharp eyes spotted Wei Ruo first, and she jumped towards Wei Ruo.
Unlike Wei Ruo who wore a curtain and hat, Xie Ying was not covered up and looked elegant.
"It's very inconvenient if you are dressed like this. If I didn't recognize the materials I personally selected, I wouldn't have recognized you." Xie Ying said.
The clothes Wei Ruo is wearing now were made recently, using the cloud brocade that Xie Ying gave her.
Wei Ruo smiled and could only say that the Xie family really loved Xie Ying and allowed her to do as she pleased.
"By the way, why are you here in Fucheng? I didn't hear you mention that you are coming." Wei Ruo asked Xie Ying.
"I didn't come to Fucheng because of the invitation of the prefect's wife. Although my grandfather was promoted to the fourth rank, my father was still a high-ranking official. And because my mother was a merchant, those pedantic people looked down upon her. Of course, my mother I am too lazy to join them, so I am not happy." Xie Ying explained.
"Then why are you here?" Wei Ruo asked curiously.
"I'm here to play. My brother is here. If you are not here these days, I told my mother to let my husband rest for a few days. My mother agreed." Xie Ying said with pride.
"So that's it."
"Ruoruo, my brother has booked a cruise ship on East Lake. You can go with me!" Xie Ying said to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo looked back at the carriage behind him, and saw that Yun was still in the carriage.
Seeing Wei Ruo's concerns, Xie Ying said: "Don't worry, I'll let my grandma who is following me tell me. I won't talk about my brother, just the two of us. There is such a large group of servants behind me. Your mother is unreasonable." I agreed."
After saying that, Xie Ying handed over the matter to her grandma who was following her.
Then Grandma walked to the Wei family's carriage and had a conversation with Mrs. Yun in the carriage. Soon Grandma came back and told Wei Ruo and Xie Ying that Mrs. Wei agreed.
"Let's go." Xie Ying held Wei Ruo's hand, and the two got on the Xie family's carriage and headed towards East Lake.
As soon as she got in the car, Xie Ying took off the curtain hat that Wei Ruo was wearing that she thought was an eyesore.
On the way to East Lake, Wei Ruo asked Xie Ying: "Is your brother in Fucheng these days because of that noble man?" "Yes, he didn't go into
details, but I guessed that it is most likely because of His Highness the Seventh Prince." Xie Ying said.
Then he said to Wei Ruo: "Actually, your Wei family also knows that he is His Highness Seventh Prince, right? There are people in your capital, so there is no reason why you don't know about him." Wei Ruo nodded, and then said: "I just don't know about
him. Why did he stay in Taizhou Prefecture for so long? It could be said that it was because of the Japanese pirates. Now that he has won a battle, he can easily explain it when he returns to Beijing. As for the matter of my wasteland south of the city, he can just leave a subordinate here, that's all It's not a trivial matter that doesn't require him to keep an eye on it personally."
"I've heard a rumor about this matter," Xie Ying said.
"Rumors?"
"I told you not to tell anyone outside." Xie Ying whispered.
"Yes."
"I heard that His Highness the Seventh Prince may be looking for the prince born by the former Queen." "Didn't the prince born by the First Queen die at birth?" Wei Ruo asked.
"I don't know the specific situation, but I heard that it seems that he was not dead at that time, and was secretly sent to Jiangnan by the former empress's natal family - Xu Guogong's old subordinates. But there is news that they caught Xu Guogong's old subordinates and were in contact with the Jiangnan area. Closely, I suspect that the prince back then was not dead." Xie Ying told some gossip she had heard.
Whether it is true or false is unknown.
"That must be a misunderstanding." Wei Ruo muttered.
Because in the original work, the Ninth Prince who died young never appeared, and he did not appear until the male protagonist Chu Lan ascended the throne, so he probably no longer exists.
"I also think it's more likely to be a misunderstanding. If they were really alive, it would be a mess." Xie Ying muttered, but didn't say much.
There are some things that you just need to be curious about, and that's all. Any more will cause trouble for you and your family.
Not long after, the carriage arrived at the East Lake.
Xie Ying and Wei Ruo got out of the car with the help of the maid.
On the shore, Xie Jue is waiting for the arrival of his sister.
I thought the only person coming was my naughty sister, but I didn't expect that Wei Ruo would be brought with her.
The moment he saw Wei Ruo, the smile on Xie Jue's face widened. He looked with burning eyes at Wei Ruo, who was wearing a light blue satin jacket and skirt and wearing a simple yet smart bun.
Wei Ruo walked up to Xie Jue and saluted slightly: "I have met Mr. Xie."
"No need to be polite." Xie Jue said, holding the fan with his right hand and not knowing where to put it.
Xiumei, who was following Wei Ruo, wanted to laugh a little, and thought to herself that Mr. Xie was subconsciously nervous when he saw her and the lady because he was beaten last time, right?
"Stop dilly-dallying and get on the boat." Xie Ying was impatient and didn't like dawdling, so before her brother could react, she pulled Wei Ruo onto the boat.
Xie Jue also quickly followed and ordered the ship to sail.
The cruise ship gradually sailed away from the shore and rowed towards the center of East Lake.
Wei Ruo and Xie Ying were sitting in the tea room of the cabin, watching the scenery on the lake through the raised gauze curtain.
The breeze blows on my face and the water ripples slightly.
Looking at the teapot in front of him, Wei Ruo took out two paper bags from the brocade bag he carried with him, giving one to Xie Ying and one to himself.
After opening the paper bag, pour the contents into a tea bowl, and then pour in the hot water available on the ship to brew.
"What is this?" Xie Ying asked curiously.
"Herbal tea." Wei Ruo replied, "It uses dried honeysuckle, dried jasmine flowers and several medicinal materials for regulating Qi and nourishing blood. It is sweet but not astringent. Try it." Hearing this, Xie Ying also hurriedly gave herself some tea
. Also brew it.
Before it was time to taste it, Xie Jue walked in, smiled and teased: "Sister Wei, I also want to ask for a cup of this herbal tea."
Xie Ying rolled her eyes at Xie Jue: "Brother, why do you like Ruoruo's things so much? "
My sister Wei's stuff is good, and you can't buy it anywhere else. If you don't seize the opportunity to get a piece of it now, you'll never get back." Xie Jue told the truth.
"That seems right." Xie Ying agreed.
Wei Ruo smiled, then took out all the remaining tea bags in the brocade bag and handed them to Xie Jue: "Young Master Xie likes it, so I will give them all to Young Master Xie."
