Chapter 174 Ruo'er is too thoughtful.
After Yun asked, Wei Ruo remained silent, and Wei Qingwan answered first.
Wei Qingwan talked a lot seriously, and put forward a lot of opinions based on her understanding of the old man and the old lady in Uncle Zhongyi's house.
"We can increase the number of tea items. Grandpa likes to drink tea, and the price of tea this year is cheaper than in previous years. Also, do you want to find a way to put a set of the purple clay tea sets that grandpa likes?" Wei Qingwan mentioned this because of the reason that this year's tea set is at home
. The situation is indeed different. My father has been promoted to the sixth level. If he has nothing to offer like in previous years, I'm afraid it will be unreasonable.
Wei Qingwan knew that the current situation in the house was not rich, but she also knew what Yun was thinking. As a daughter-in-law, she must not be stingy at this time.
Mrs. Yun nodded: "I do mean so."
Then Wei Qingwan added: "But my daughter also knows that this year because of the poor harvest in Zhuangzi, there are some problems with the government's income and expenditure. My daughter is willing to use her own money to help her grandparents. Buying New Year's gifts."
Hearing this, Mrs. Yun was a little surprised and a little moved: "Wanwan, those are your personal belongings."
Wei Qingwan replied firmly: "As a granddaughter, I should prepare some New Year's gifts for my grandparents to fulfill my filial piety. What's more, if Wei Ruo's grandparents and parents didn't have loyalty, how could I be where I am today? Everything I own belongs to the Wei family." "
Wanwan, you are thoughtful." Mrs. Yun couldn't help but feel happy.
"Mother's words are serious. This is what a daughter should do." Wei Qingwan's eyes were shining, her voice was soft and sincere.
Mrs. Yun was very satisfied with Wei Qingwan's answer, and then asked Wei Ruo: "What does Ruo'er think of this year's gift list?" Wei Ruo was lazy and didn't want to think too much. He just glanced at it casually and said
: "As long as mother makes the decision, she must be more experienced than us in this aspect."
Wei Ruo's statement was not wrong, but it just seemed a little perfunctory.
So Yun said to Wei Ruo again: "Ruo'er, your grandparents still love you very much. We still can't go back to the capital for the New Year this year. This New Year's gift represents our feelings. Please think about it carefully and help us out." Come up with ideas."
Mrs. Yun doesn't require her eldest daughter to use her own private life to buy New Year's gifts for her grandparents like Wanwan. She just wants her to be more serious and help think about this issue. After all, she will be in charge when she gets married. As the mistress of the house, she, as the head of the family, must prepare the gifts for relatives during the New Year and festivals. She still needs to become familiar with these things as early as possible.
Wei Ruo was already prepared: "Mom, when the nobles gave me things before, I had already reserved gifts for my grandparents in advance. But because those things were fragile and difficult to transport, I thought that they would wait until the next time I go home. When sending things from the capital, let them be taken by water."
After saying that, he took out the list from his arms and gave it to Yun.
Wei Qingwan looked at the order handed over by Wei Ruo in surprise. Was she prepared?
Wei Ruo watched Wei Qingwan's reaction and could see that she was surprised and angry.
This was not her intention to compete with Wei Qingwan.
This gift for the old uncle and the old lady had been prepared when she received the reward from Chu Lan. At that time, she had planned to bring it with her when she gave the gift to the capital at the captain's mansion.
Yun took Wei Ruo's order and looked at it. In addition to some porcelain tea sets gifted by the seventh prince, Wei Ruo also brought dried sweet potatoes, sweet potato slices, mushroom sauce and other foods that have recently become popular in Taizhou Prefecture.
Although these things are not expensive, they are local specialties and are probably not popular in the capital yet.
Sending these can express your feelings and have local characteristics, so it is most suitable.
Mrs. Yun beamed with joy: "Ruo'er is really very thoughtful."
If Wei Qingwan's willingness to spend her private money to buy new year's gifts made Mrs. Yun happy, then Wei Ruo's gift list made Mrs. Yun both surprised and happy. .
Wei Ruo said calmly: "It's nothing. My grandparents love me very much and have given me beautiful things several times. This is what I should do." Wei Ruo did this and it had nothing to do with the Yun family. It was entirely because the two old people in the capital treated her so well. not bad.
No matter what the purpose of the two old men was to treat her well, they gave her the title of eldest daughter and gave her several gifts, which were all genuine.
"If you are filial, your grandparents will be very happy when they find out." Yun said with a smile on her face.
After that, Yun discussed with Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan for a while the details of the gift list and the details of the new year's purchases in the house.
Wei Qingwan's face lost the previous smile, and her expression became a little stiff when she answered several times.
###
The next day, Wei Ruo went out again.
The small workshop she built on the vacant land on Zhuangzi has been completed, and she will go over to inspect it today.
On the way, Wei Ruo and Xiumei disguised themselves as they did the last time they went to see Fan Chengxu.
Because today when I go to inspect the newly built workshop, I will interact with many outsiders. Wei Ruo's current situation is not suitable for being exposed in public to avoid being caught.
When they arrived at Zhuangzi, the two little girls who got on the bus turned into two ugly-looking young men when they got off.
Because he knew Wei was coming, Manager Yu waited at the entrance of Zhuangzi in advance. When he saw the two young masters getting off the carriage, Manager Yu was stunned.
"Steward Yu." Wei Ruo called Steward Yu.
Hearing the familiar voice, Manager Yu realized that the young master in front of him was their current employer.
"Miss, why do you look like this?" Manager Yu asked.
"I'm meeting a lot of workers today. My daughter has many physical inconveniences. I'd like to trouble Manager Yu to introduce me to others later and call me Young Master Xu." Wei Ruodao.
"Yes, yes, it's still young lady...ah no, the young master has thought carefully!"
Immediately afterwards, Manager Yu took Wei Ruo and Xiumei to the place where Wei Ruo's small workshop was built in Zhuangzi.
On the original vacant land of Zhuangzi, there were five more houses built with yellow soil mixed with stones and straw. These were Wei Ruo's new workshops.
"Miss, these houses are built according to your requirements and design drawings." Manager Yu said.
According to Wei Ruo's request, something special was built in each room.
There are large stoves, large shelves, half-walls made of earth and stone, and some strange-shaped things whose purpose is unclear at the moment.
Wei Ruo was very satisfied after the inspection. Uncle Xu supervised the construction of this house, so she was very assured of the quality of the house.
Wei Ruo then asked Manager Yu: "How are you doing with the people I asked you to select for me?"
When he came here before, Wei Ruo asked Manager Yu to select a few reliable long-term workers from Zhuangzi who can work down-to-earth and arrange them for them. In the newly built small workshop behind her.
