Chapter 183 Chatting over tea
Wei Mingting nodded: "Madam, you are right."
Wei Ruo looked at it indifferently, with no expression on his face.
It's just a coincidence that mother and daughter are not connected.
After Yun finished answering Wei Mingting's question, she subconsciously looked at Wei Ruo, but Wei Ruo had already focused on the food.
Even if he felt that she was looking at him, Wei Ruo did not turn his head.
Wei Qingwan lowered her head, bit her lower lip, and tightened her grip on the chopsticks.
After dinner, everyone sat down together to drink tea and chat.
Wei Mingting was not drunk. Although he enjoyed drinking, he was not greedy for alcohol, especially since he had responsibilities. Even if he was on vacation, he would not easily let himself get drunk and lose consciousness.
Wei Mingting talked about the Seventh Prince: "The Seventh Prince may come to Taizhou Prefecture again in the near future, and this time he will no longer be in private, but will come under the order to serve as the warden of Taizhou Prefecture's anti-Japanese army." Hearing this, he originally lowered his head
. Wei Qingwan raised her head.
"The Seventh Prince is coming to Taizhou Mansion again? It's almost the Chinese New Year, why come at this time?" Yun asked puzzledly.
"We are celebrating the New Year, but Japanese pirates are no match. The more we celebrate as a family, the more we must take strict precautions to prevent Japanese pirates from taking advantage of the opportunity to come in, disturb my people and destroy my home." Wei Mingting explained.
Therefore, even during the Chinese New Year, Wei Mingting may not have time to stay at home.
A bit of sadness flashed in Yun's eyes, but she quickly put it away.
She knows that it is not easy for her husband, and she also knows that it is not easy for the people. In order for more people to live and work in peace and contentment, they can only give up their small family.
Wei Mingting added: "I tell you this matter in the hope that you will be prepared. I am now the deputy garrison of the Taizhou Prefecture against the Japanese army. The seventh prince is here as the governor and will have a lot of contact with me, so he will not It is ruled out that he will come to our house again."
Hearing this, Mrs. Yun said: "Don't worry, husband, if His Highness comes again, I will make sure the arrangements are in place and nothing will happen again."
Wei Qingwan said nothing and silently kept Wei Mingting's words in mind.
Wei Mingting's eyes fell on Wei Ruo, as if he had something to say to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo immediately understood what Wei Mingting meant, because the last time he discussed merits and did good deeds without him, Wei Ruo kept a grudge against Chu Lan in his heart, and Wei Mingting was probably worried about this.
Wei Ruo took the initiative and said, "Father, don't worry. Your Highness's identity is clear, and my daughter still knows what's appropriate." The
implication is that I'm still angry, but I won't do anything because my identity doesn't allow it.
In fact, Wei Ruo originally hated Chu Lan very much, and it wasn't much worse than that one time. So this time Chu Lan comes, and if he meets Chu Lan again, Wei Ruo will still deal with it the same way he did in the past. .
Wei Mingting said solemnly: "I feel wronged."
After a brief conversation, Wei Mingting called Wei Yilin into the courtyard and asked him to use the sword.
Yun, Wei Ruo, and Wei Qingwan watched together.
Wei Yilin usually practiced martial arts with wooden knives and swords, and today was no exception.
In order to match Wei Yilin's body shape, the wooden knife is smaller than the large knife used by ordinary adults.
Despite this, Wei Yilin still wields the sword in a decent manner, each move is very powerful, and he really has the demeanor of a military general.
After the whole trick, Yun's face looked pleased. She really didn't expect that her naughty little son was so talented in martial arts and had the same abilities and hobbies as his father.
Although the expression on Wei Mingting's face was not as obvious as Yun's, his eyes were clearly filled with relief and pride. After Wei Yilin completed a set of sword skills, he quickly ran to Wei Mingting and looked at Wei Mingting expectantly.
"Very good. At your current age, it's already very good to be able to do this." Wei Mingting admitted.
"Hey." Wei Yilin scratched his head shyly and was praised by his father.
Mrs. Yun stepped forward and touched Wei Yilin's head: "Yilin, I have really grown up and become more and more like your father." "
Of course, I am my father's son!" Wei Yilin said with pride. .
"But we still have to keep working hard, keep a humble heart, and listen carefully to Master's teachings." Wei Mingting warned him that he should be relatively strict with his son and did not want his son to become arrogant and complacent after achieving a little success.
"Well, dad, don't worry, I will learn hard." Wei Yilin promised.
Then Wei Yilin looked at Wei Ruo and specifically asked Wei Ruo: "Sister, do you think I am getting better and better now?" Wei Ruo
rolled his eyes in his heart, not knowing why Wei Yilin had to ask her specifically every time. I had to ask her to give a few comments before I would be satisfied.
Wei Ruo murmured in his heart, but with a smile on his face: "It should be getting better and better." "
Then does eldest sister think I will be like my father in the future?" Wei Yilin asked again.
"As long as you work hard enough and study hard enough, you should have a chance."
Brat, are you done? If you want to hear such compliments, can you ask your sister Wanwan?
Wei Ruo was thinking this, and Wei Qingwan next to her took the initiative and said to Wei Yilin as she had thought: "Brother Yilin is very talented. As long as he studies hard, he will definitely become as powerful as his father and serve the country and the people. Make great achievements."
In one sentence, both father and son were praised.
The smile on Wei Yilin's face suddenly became thicker. Sister Wanwan is still nice to talk to. Can't Wei Qingruo imitate her a little bit? Really!
Wei Ruo didn't know what Wei Yilin was thinking. When he saw Wei Qingwan coming forward, he decisively stepped back to make room for the two of them.
This pair of siblings can be as friendly and respectful as they want, as loving as they are and as filial as they are, just don't take her with them.
###
After the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, there is almost no farming. Except for some cold-resistant rapeseed that needs to be harvested from time to time, there are almost no crops on the ground.
Even Wei Ruo's cultivation of shiitake mushrooms in Xingshan County has been put on hold for the time being, because even caves with relatively constant temperatures that are warm in winter and cool in summer cannot grow conditions for shiitake mushrooms at this time.
After Wei Ruo's supply of seasonings to Zuixianju got on track, the production of Wei Ruo's small workshop also stabilized.
Wei Ruo's work was also freed up, and then Wei Ruo began to plan the next step of work.
She had said before that she planned to study vinegar making when she had some free time, but after some inquiries, Wei Ruo found that making wine was more profitable than making vinegar.
People's pursuit of the quality of vinegar is not that high, but wine is different. The nobles are very particular about drinking and are willing to pay high prices for it.
So Wei Ruo planned to take advantage of this time when she was not busy with farming to improve her winemaking methods and prepare her winery.
Wei Ruo, the brewery, plans to choose a location close to the water source, which will make it more convenient for subsequent production.
And the water source must be good, because the quality of the water will largely affect the quality of the wine.
