Chapter 133 We don’t have to compete with them for
dinner time. Wei Ruo appeared in the dining room. Yun praised: “Ruo’er has done very well these past two days. I met Mrs. Qian when I went out today. She was very kind to her. You were very complimentary and praised me repeatedly."
Wei Ruo just nodded lightly and did not answer.
It's not unusual for Mrs. Qian to praise Wei Ruo. What Wei Ruo did helped Magistrate Qian to a certain extent.
Yunshi continued: "It's just Ruo'er, although Xiaowei's family is not a rich and powerful family, they can still get the money to give porridge. If you go to give porridge tomorrow, you can use your own people and supplies. You don't have to follow. Come with the Xie family."
Before Wei Ruo could reply, Mrs. Yun immediately said, "And you should also bring Wanwan with you, so that she can learn from you." The eldest daughter was out
rescuing people and giving porridge . It is stated that Wanwan will inevitably look inferior in comparison with her.
What's more, Wanwan was criticized by Mrs. Yuan in Fucheng before, so she had to find a way to make amends.
Then Wei Qingwan also came over and leaned slightly towards Wei Ruo: "Sister, what I have done recently has been praised by my father and the people of the county. I really admire my sister very much. Tomorrow I will go with my sister to give porridge. My sister asked me. I will do whatever I do, and there will never be any slighting."
Wei Ruo smiled and said, "Does sister Qingwan want to imitate me in saving people, or does she want to imitate me in being praised?" "
Of course she imitates my sister in helping others. "It is my sister's credit that my father was saved. Our family is extremely happy because of my father's safety. The other people who came to be saved by my sister are also the parents and children of other people's families. They must also be very grateful." Wei Qingwan said.
"It's great if you think so, but since you have such thoughts, you can do it yourself. There is no need to follow me." Wei Ruo replied.
Then Wei Ruo turned to Mrs. Yun and said: "Mother, since I made an appointment with Miss Xie to give porridge together, there is no reason to break the agreement. If the principal's mansion wants to give porridge, sister Qingwan can go there. Since we are the principal, If the mansion gains a good reputation, it will also win a good reputation for sister Qingwan."
After Wei Ruo finished speaking, both Yun and Wei Qingwan looked a little unnatural.
"Does mother think what I said is wrong? Asking sister Qingwan to prepare porridge in another place is a way to have the best of both worlds. It can satisfy mother and sister's desire to save people, and it will not embarrass my daughter. And since it is for rescue. Common people, the more porridge the better."
Wei Ruo's words were reasonable and well-founded, making it difficult for Yun to refute.
Wei Qingwan was a little anxious, and she wanted to follow Wei Ruo to give porridge.
In the current Xiaowei Mansion, the one with the most money is Wei Ruo. The Seventh Prince just rewarded her with a hundred taels of gold, which is a lot of money.
With this kind of money, Wei Ruo can naturally help the people in any way he wants. He can give out porridge and cotton-padded clothes without worrying about money issues.
It is easier said than done to provide money from the government, but it is actually difficult. Wei Qingwan, who has seen the account books of the school captain's house, knows that there is a problem with the family's income and expenditure this year, and there is not much money left in the government.
Yunshi and Wei Qingwan seemed to want to say something more to Wei Ruo, but Wei Ruo didn't give them this chance. She saw Wei Mingting and walked straight towards Wei Mingting.
"Father."
Seeing Wei Ruo, Wei Mingting's expression softened a lot: "Ruo'er should pay attention to rest these days. Although it is important to save people, you should also take care of your own body." "Yeah, I know
. , so does my father. He has been busy on both sides these days, so he still needs to pay attention to his rest." Wei Ruodao.
Wei Mingting nodded kindly.
Wei Mingting has always been a strict father in the impression of Wei Yichen and others, but when facing Wei Ruo, Wei Mingting behaved much more lovingly.
Maybe it was because this daughter was so similar to him that he felt particularly close to her, or maybe he felt a lot of debt and guilt towards this daughter.
When Yunshi and Wei Qingwan saw this, they didn't mention what happened just now. The family sat together and had a quiet dinner.
After dinner, Wei Ruo did not stay for tea, but went back to Tingsongyuan on the grounds that he was busy.
Wei Mingting didn't stay long. He was quite busy. It was good to come back and have dinner with his family. He also had to go to the study to handle some matters first.
Then Wei Yichen, who was busy studying, and Wei Yilin, who was recently addicted to martial arts, also left.
Wei Qingwan was left. Seeing that no one else was around, Wei Qingwan asked Yun: "Mom, about the porridge donation..."
Yun frowned and said, "You can go and get the money for the porridge. I'll give it to you from my dowry."
Wei Qingwan couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
"But mother, that is your dowry, how can your daughter use your dowry..." Wei Qingwan said with some shame.
"Mother's dowry will belong to you and Ruo'er from now on. Money should be used wisely, so feel free to use it." Yun said.
As she spoke, Mrs. Yun took Wei Qingwan's hand, patted the back of her hand gently, and said earnestly: "Wanwan, do it well. No matter whether it can save you some reputation, you must do it for Xingshan County." The common people have done their part, and it was your father and all the soldiers who guarded it with their lives."
Wei Qingwan nodded: "Don't worry, mother, I will do my best."
###
The next day, Wei Ruo and Xie Ying were as usual. They were serving porridge at Xicheng Gate. They specially prepared some pickles today to make it more delicious to eat with the porridge.
Xie Ying leaned into Wei Ruo's ear and said, "Ruoruo, I heard that Wei Qingwan and Qian Zhilan went to the North City Gate to set up a stall and learn how to serve porridge like us!"
Wei Ruo smiled and said, "I don't care about them. What is the purpose of doing this? Anyway, the porridge is actually distributed, and the people affected by the disaster can actually eat the porridge, which is a good thing."
Xie Ying thought for a while: "That's right. We are not running for fame . Come on, there is no need to argue with them. As long as the result can save people and allow more people to survive the difficulties, then it is good!" "That's the
truth."
Wei Ruo smiled, and then continued to work with Xie Ying. things.
After working hard all morning, after delivering the porridge, Xie Jue pulled several carts of things to the porridge shop.
"Sister, sister of the Wei family." Xie Jue called Xie Ying and Wei Ruo with a smile on his face.
"Brother, why are you here!" Xie Ying said with some disgust.
"My good sister, I am already the fastest. You have to know how in short supply these cotton-padded clothes and quilts are these days. Thanks to my mother's store and store, they are available. Otherwise, I don't know where to buy them now if I have money. !" Xie Jue explained innocently.
This sudden change in weather has not only affected Xingshan County, disasters are everywhere, food is in short supply, and cotton-padded clothes and quilts are also in short supply.
"Okay, okay, wait for us to clean up here, and then we will go door to door to check the situation and deliver to those in need," Xie Ying said.
"Wait a moment, I still have some things that haven't arrived." Wei Ruodao.
