Chapter 155: Attitudes of Father and Brother
"Miss Wei has acquired a lot of land in Fucheng these days and hired a lot of refugees." Yuan Zhengqin said.
"Sister Ruo'er has mentioned this to me, what's wrong? But what's the problem?" Mrs. Yuan asked.
"I haven't heard of any trouble. It's just that in the position of the prefect, Miss Wei has done a good deed. The refugees have just appeared recently. Although there are not many, they are also an unstable factor. I am worried about how to deal with them. They were all taken in by Miss Wei. With land to farm and food to eat, they would naturally be stable. But it was much easier than me using money to arrange for them to live." The government's arrangements for accommodation and food distribution are all short-term and cannot be done
. Solve long-term problems.
"As long as nothing happens, it's fine. She saved my life, and now she helps me see a doctor and gives us ideas to increase farmers' production. If she has any problems, you need to tell me and I will help her." Mrs. Yuan said to her husband.
"I know, and I am also grateful to her. If anything happens, I will help her without Madam asking." Yuan Zhengqin said with emotion: "If the current trend continues, Miss Wei's wealth will probably be greater than that of the entire school." The Wei Mansion is getting richer, and even Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion in the capital has to catch up with her."
Yuan Zhengqin knew about the situation of the Wei family. In addition to the old man and the old lady, there may be some properties in Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion that are unknown to outsiders. Apart from his family fortune, he really has nothing else to offer.
"Sister Ruo'er also earned it herself. What the Seventh Prince rewarded her was for her contribution to improving the wasteland. The Zhuangzi I gave her was for saving my life and Brother Sheng's. If she has this ability, she can You should have this family fortune." Mrs. Yuan said.
Seeing his wife speaking for Wei Ruo like this, Yuan Zhengqin couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that Madam really likes Miss Wei very much." Madam Yuan
said: "At first, I was mostly grateful. I still clearly remember my most painful and difficult moment. Her firm look and tone at that time, this kindness will never be forgotten in my life; but after spending time together, I really like her more. Her temperament is not as appealing to me as ordinary women in the boudoir."
"It's good that Madam is happy. I'm also very happy. Madam can find a confidant in this relatively deserted Taizhou Prefecture. It's really wronged Madam to have her stay away from the capital and stay with me here all these years." "I have nothing to feel wronged about. You are here
. As long as you understand me, I will go anywhere. Besides, I have good food and good accommodation here, so why feel wronged?" "
Yes." Yuan Zhengqin gently held his wife in his arms.
If a wife is found like this, what else can a husband ask for?
###
Wei Ruo stayed in Fucheng until the braised food shop opened before going back.
She didn't want to go back, but if she delayed it any longer, even Mrs. Yuan would not be able to justify it.
After half a month, when he returned to Xiaowei's mansion, Wei Ruo first went to see Wei Mingting.
Wei Mingting looked at Wei Ruo and seemed to have a lot to say.
"Ruo'er, thank you for your hard work." Wei Mingting said.
"It's not hard work for my daughter. It's hard work for my father to fight for days and fight bloody battles. It's hard work to protect the family and the country." Wei Ruo replied politely.
Wei Mingting stared at Wei Ruo for a long time, and Wei Ruo couldn't help but raise his head to look at her.
When their eyes met, Wei Ruo couldn't help but feel a little dazed. She saw a very unfamiliar look on Wei Mingting's face.
In the last life, Wei Ruo had not seen his alcoholic and domestically violent father, and this was the first time in this life that he had seen someone look at him like this.
It's very deep and heavy, and seems to contain a lot of emotions.
Wei Ruo lowered his head again, avoiding the strange eyes.
After a while, Wei Mingting said to Wei Ruo: "You have been working hard on the boat and the carriage. Let's go back and rest first." "My
daughter, please leave."
Wei Ruo quickly withdrew and went to Tingsongyuan.
When he was approaching Tingsongyuan, Wei Yichen stopped him. "Brother?" Wei Ruo looked at Wei Yichen doubtfully, not knowing why the other party stopped him.
"Ruo'er..." Wei Yichen stared at Wei Ruo, his expression was somewhat similar to Wei Mingting's, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
He learned that Wei Ruo had returned home and came here specifically to find her.
"Brother, it's okay to just tell him if you have anything to do." Wei Ruodao.
Wei Ruo was embarrassed to say this to Wei Mingting, but Wei Ruo had no scruples to Wei Yichen.
"A few days ago, the second brother wrote a letter. He investigated some things in Huzhou Prefecture..."
Wei Yichen thought Wei Ruo didn't know about this matter.
Wei Ruo didn't answer, just looked at Wei Yichen, waiting for his next words.
Wei Yichen hesitated for a while before continuing: "Ruo'er, you've suffered." "
It's nothing, it's all over." Wei Ruo replied.
During those days in Mojiazha, Wei Ruo actually did not have a hard life. The reason why she did not deny and refute Wei Yichen was because the original owner really had a hard time during those years.
She was born and raised in this world, and given her age and experience, life was really difficult when her monthly salary was withheld.
If the wet nurse hadn't been with her all the time and used her family's money to support her, she might not have been able to wait to be taken back by the Wei family.
Hearing Wei Ruo's understatement "It's all over", Wei Yichen felt very heavy. He promised Wei Ruo:
"Brother promises you that he will make you live a prosperous life in the future. Father said that he will not hold you to anything he wants. You be a lady of the world and do whatever you like. It doesn't matter even if you marry a farmer in the future, your father and I will be your support." Wei Yichen said very sincerely, but Wei Ruo had already had his own ideas
. She has to rely on herself, not on her father and brother.
"Thank you for your kindness, brother. Let's talk about the future later." "
Then you go back and rest first. It's hard work after traveling and traveling." Wei Yichen said.
Wei Ruo returned to Tingsong Garden, and Nanny Zhang was waiting to report to her about the affairs in the south of the city. Although Wei Ruo no longer interfered much, she still had to grasp the general situation. First, she had received money from the magistrate Qian; Second, Wei Ruo couldn't bear to see those people busy in vain.
After Nanny Zhang finished her report, Wei Ruo asked, "Isn't my mother in the house today?"
Wei Ruo has not seen Yun until she came back. If she had been, she should have met her with her father just now.
"Today, Madam went to Fahua Temple early in the morning." Grandma Zhang replied.
"Today is not the first or fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. What are you going to do at Fahua Temple?" Wei Ruo asked.
"The exact old slave is not very clear, but I guess it may be related to the incident a few days ago." Grandma Zhang replied.
"What's the matter?"
"It's the letter that the second young master sent back. According to what the letter said, the second young lady in the house now is the one who has the fate of her parents. Madam seems to mind this matter, so I guess today Madam may have gone to Fahua Temple for this matter."
Anyway, no one else was present, so Granny Zhang told Wei Ruo.
