Chapter 170: Don’t ruin your reputation.
“Yeah, okay.” Wei Ruo agreed, with a bright smile on his face.
Seeing this smile, Wei Jin couldn't help but soften his eyes.
Then Wei Jin also asked Wei Ruo: "Can I go back later today?"
Wei Ruo nodded.
Seeing this, Xiaobei was excited and said quickly: "Then I'll prepare food. Although our yard is small, the kitchen is not small!" It has been a long time since
they sat down to eat together.
Hearing this, Xiumei said hurriedly: "Your cooking skills are so bad, all the good ingredients are wasted on you, so let me do it." "
Yes, yes, Miss Xiumei is right." Xiaobei said with a smile.
Then the two of them entered the kitchen together.
Before Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi said they wanted to have dinner together, Xiaobei and Xiumei were already busy with their work.
Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi looked at each other, and Wei Ruoxiao said, "It seems that my Mei Mei wants to stay more than me."
While Xiumei and Xiaobei were busy in the kitchen together, Wei Ruo was about to join Wei Jinyi Go sit in the main room.
Wei Jin also stopped him and said, "I'll move the tables and chairs out."
Wei Ruo asked, "Why?"
Wei Jin also said, "There are differences between men and women."
Wei Ruoxiao said, "There are differences between men and women. Just now, the second brother held my hand?"
Wei Jin was also a little embarrassed after hearing this and didn't know how to answer.
Wei Ruo continued: "We are brothers and sisters, so we don't have to worry about some rules."
After all, Wei Ruo still has the soul of a modern person in her body. In her heart, there is a need to avoid taboos between men and women, but she will not be so strict as to be in the same room. He couldn't wait, especially when the other person was his brother who was related to him by blood.
"Don't ruin your good reputation."
Wei Jin also answered and then went into the house and moved the tables and chairs to the courtyard.
Wei Ruo couldn't help but suspect that every time she went to Yingzhuyuan in the past, she would see him reading, writing and painting in the pavilion. When they had meals together, they were always in the pavilion. Maybe it wasn't that he liked doing things in the pavilion so much, but that In order not to be under the same roof with her.
Wei Jin also insisted, and Wei Ruo said nothing.
Then she sat down on the chair he brought and started chatting with him.
The two of them were just like they were in Yingzhu Garden in the past. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. Some things might be different, but some things didn't seem to have changed at all.
Afterwards, Xiumei and Xiaobei served the prepared meals.
Xiumei and Wei Ruo lamented that the kitchen here was larger and easier to use than the small kitchen in Yingzhuyuan.
Xiaobei couldn't help but praise Xiumei's craftsmanship: "Miss Xiumei is really amazing. Even though they all use the same ingredients, what I make is bland and boring, but what Miss Xiumei makes makes people's fingers move." My lips and teeth are wet, my mouth is watering, and I can't stop."
Xiumei smiled: "Did you use all the idioms that Xiaobei learned from your young master in this?" Xiaobei smiled sheepishly, scratching his head
and replied: "Big Miss, please stop teasing me. I am not good at studying. I am far behind the young master. But I can’t tell others that I learned from my young master, which would embarrass my young master.” Xiumei smiled: “You’d better be nice to me
. Learn cooking skills, or else your young master won't want you anymore."
Xiaobei hurriedly agreed: "I'm going to learn, I'm going to learn. As long as you have time to teach me, Miss Xiumei, I promise to study hard and learn the craft as soon as possible. , so as not to be sold by my young master in the future!"
Wei Ruo and Xiumei were both amused by Xiaobei's words, and a gentle smile was faintly visible on Wei Jinyi's face.
Then the four of them had dinner together in this relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.
After dinner, it was already getting late. "It's getting late, I'm going back today." Wei Ruo was really leaving this time.
"Yeah."
Wei Jin also walked Wei Ruo to the door, and then watched her walk out of the alley.
Wei Ruo returned to the carriage and headed to the principal's mansion.
"Miss, those people just didn't look simple. The woman named Lin Fang looked enchanting, but I felt that she was also a practitioner. When I first tried to squeeze in, she She was a little slow to react in the beginning, but after she reacted, her strength and response speed were very powerful."
Although it was only a brief confrontation, Xiumei relied on the keenness of a martial arts practitioner to notice the difference in the other party.
"Well, I feel it too." Although Wei Ruo is not a martial arts practitioner, he can still sense something.
"Miss, what do you think the second young master is doing now? Why do I feel so uncomfortable!" Xiumei said with some curiosity and some worry.
"Don't think too much. There are some things we can't control and it's useless to think about it." Wei Ruodao.
Wei Ruo was not completely doubtless, but her doubts were of no use.
There are no such scenes in the original work. Even if she knew the original plot, she would not be able to guess what Wei Jinyi is doing now.
"That's true. As long as the second young master treats you well, young lady, and won't harm the second young lady, I won't worry about what he wants to do." Xiumei said.
###
After Wei Ruo and Xiumei left, several figures crossed the wall and came to Wei Jinyi's side.
Two of them are the couple Ke Chongshan and Lin Fang whom Wei Ruo met just now.
They were originally here to protect Wei Jinyi, so they would not go far.
They just walked away just to avoid Wei Ruo so that Wei Ruo could talk to their master.
"Master, the maid next to the eldest lady has extraordinary skills, unlike ordinary maids." Lin Fang reported to Wei Jin Yihui.
"I know about this, you don't have to be suspicious of their master and servant." Wei Jin also said.
Wei Jinyi's answer directly dispelled several people's suspicions about Wei Ruo's master and servant.
"Master, then our plan to sneak into the prefect's mansion..."
"Proceed as planned." Wei Jin also said.
There is something very important to them in the Magistrate's Mansion, but the Magistrate's Mansion can be said to be the most heavily guarded place in the entire Taizhou Mansion.
The Yuan family was originally a hairpin family, and there were slaves in the house who they had trained since childhood with extraordinary skills.
What's more, Mrs. Yuan is the princess of Jingmin, and she is always protected by experts from Prince Huai's Mansion.
If you want to get things from the prefect's house smoothly, you need to plan carefully.
"My subordinates take orders!" several people replied.
###
Early the next morning, Mrs. Yun called Wei Ruo to her room to discuss with Wei Ruo a formal visit to Mrs. Yuan.
"Your father is now a sixth-rank official and has moved to Fucheng. We should go and see the prefect's wife. What's more, Ruo'er, you have been taken care of by Mrs. Yuan many times in Fucheng. As a mother, you should come to pay your respects." Yun said to Wei Ruo.
"My mother can make the decision on this matter," Wei Ruo replied.
Wei Ruo knew that Yun's proposal was reasonable, as long as she had no other requirements or purposes.
"I have prepared some small gifts for Ruo'er to take a look at. If there are no problems, you can go to the prefect's mansion with your mother later," said Yun.
