Chapter 196 Wei Yichen’s Persuasion
While Wei Ruo was running out, Wei Qingwan was learning from the Yun family to take care of family affairs.
Yunshi knew Wei Ruo was running outside, but she didn't ask her where she went, nor did she restrain her feet, because she didn't want to worry about it anymore.
She was good for her eldest daughter, for her reputation and for her future, but her eldest daughter didn't appreciate it at all and contradicted her at every turn.
Then instead of wasting this much attention on her eldest daughter, she might as well teach Wanwan well and find a good marriage for Wanwan in the coming year when Wanwan gets her hairpin.
The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month is the New Year’s Eve celebrated by the people of Taizhou Prefecture.
Wei Mingting did not return to Wei Mansion, but Wei Yichen came back.
When Wei Yichen came back, only Yunshi and Wei Qingwan were in the house. Wei Ruo was still outside. Although Wei Yilin's martial arts classes were stopped, he was addicted to martial arts and would still go to the martial arts master to practice these days. And asked Master for some pointers.
Seeing Wei Yichen, Mrs. Yun was overjoyed and distressed at the same time: "Yichen, you have lost weight. You have worked hard these days." Wei Yichen
looked at Ms. Yun and felt distressed: "Mom, I am not working hard, and I am not losing weight. I am in the academy. I have a very happy life and learn a lot every day. Mom, on the other hand, has obviously lost weight these days." "Mom is
not working hard. As long as you are both well, mom's hard work is nothing. It's really hard, but it's still boring. "Dad, I haven't had much rest these days. Mom is really afraid that his body won't be able to bear it."
When talking about her husband, Mrs. Yun was filled with worry.
"Mom, don't worry. My father's body has always been strong, and the Japanese pirates have been quite peaceful these days. There has been no fighting. My father should have time to have a good rest." Wei Yichen comforted him.
"Hmm..." Yun didn't feel comfortable talking to her children about these things.
"Brother!" Wei Qingwan came forward with an excited expression and bright eyes.
"Wanwan." Wei Yichen looked at Wei Qingwan with gentle eyes.
"Brother, thank you for your hard work." Wei Qingwan said with concern.
"I'm fine, how are you lately?" Wei Yichen asked with concern.
"Well, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, brother."
"Where's Ruo'er?" Wei Yichen asked.
Hearing Wei Yichen ask Wei Ruo, Yun's face darkened: "I don't know where she ran. After arriving in Fucheng, she became more exaggerated than before. As long as she didn't go to class, she would run out. She didn't know where she ran every day. Where did she go? In the past, it was reasonable for her to be busy with things in the south of the city in Xingshan County, but now I really don’t know what she has to do!" Wei Yichen guessed: "The eldest
sister Xu is helping farmers farm again. She I like doing this."
"That's outrageous." Yunshi said.
Wei Yichen explained to Wei Ruo: "The food income in various places this year is not good, and the eldest sister knows how to grow more crops on the land. She can save many people." "Let her go as she pleases." Yun
said Some don't want to continue talking about the eldest daughter.
"Mom, my eldest sister has suffered so much before. Wouldn't it be nice if she could be happy now? We didn't bring her back to make her unhappy. We wanted to make up for the suffering she suffered in the past, didn't we?" Wei Yichen continued
, He knew his mother well and could see that her mother was dissatisfied, but he didn't want her to hold back her anger towards her eldest sister.
They are a family, and they should be in harmony both on the surface and on the inside.
Yun said again: "You don't know, these days she has been selling loquat ointment to various ladies in the city for ten taels of silver a jar. I don't know what everyone is thinking about our Wei family now, maybe behind their backs." They all think that our family is shameful and philistine. They say that they were born in an Earl's Palace, but the eldest daughter is busy doing business there to make money." Wei Yichen said in surprise: "Mother, who did you hear this? My classmate and good friend, Mr. Wang, followed me. What you said is different from what you said, mother. He told me that my eldest sister is very powerful. Loquat ointment cured his eldest aunt's cough. He kept exaggerating that my eldest sister is very powerful." "Real or false? It can't be true
. I'm embarrassed to say unpleasant things in front of you, right?" Yun asked suspiciously.
"Mom, how can I have such a big reputation that they say things against their will just to please me?" Wei Yichen asked.
Anyone who can study in Anzhou Academy must not have a strong background. In comparison, the Wei family, which has long been in decline, is not worthy of others' favor.
Yun thought it made sense.
Wei Yichen continued: "Mom, according to the news I heard from my classmates, the eldest sister's loquat ointment was not sold by her on her own initiative. It was someone else who wanted it and came to the house to ask for it. Those who came to ask for the medicine gave money only for themselves. Otherwise, they are not related to our Wei family, and they don’t know how to open this mouth, don’t you think?”
After Wei Yichen said this, the breath that Yun had been holding back for several days suddenly became much easier.
"You kid, you're always good at comforting people." Yun couldn't help but say.
"Mom, I'm not trying to comfort you, I'm telling you the truth. Your worries are unnecessary. We walk and sit upright, so we don't have to worry about that. The eldest sister made the loquat ointment with her own skills, which caused the cough. Not only is it not shameful for someone to ask for medicine, it also brings shame to our family, Mr. Wei." Wei Yichen emphasized again.
"Okay, okay, aren't you saying all this just to stop mom from being angry with your eldest sister? It's okay if mom doesn't get angry with your eldest sister, but it's true that she has been running away recently, and I can't control her." Yun said. Shi Dao.
"How about I ask my eldest sister when she comes back tonight and ask her to pay more attention to her?" Wei Yichen said.
"You go ahead and talk to her. I told her that I'm afraid there will be another quarrel without even saying a few words." Yun couldn't help but say.
"Well, I'll tell you, so Mom, please promise me not to be cold-faced when the eldest sister comes home. It's been less than a year since the eldest sister came home, and we haven't had a deep relationship yet, so you always have a cold face. It will only make the relationship between us more complicated."
"Okay, Mom knows, I will listen to you."
The eldest son's words were very useful to Yun.
The smile on Wei Qingwan's face visibly disappeared.
After Wei Yichen comforted Mrs. Yun, he turned around and saw Wei Qingwan, who looked slightly unhappy, and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with Wanwan? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"It's nothing, I may have caught a cold and my head is a little dizzy." Wei Qingwan excused herself hastily.
"It's been freezing cold these days. Wanwan needs to be very careful. When you go outside, ask the maid to warm your hand. You should also wear thick clothes and add a robe outside." "Well,
I I know, brother, don’t worry, I’ll be fine,” Wei Qingwan said.
At dinner time, Wei Ruo returned to the captain's mansion.
At the same time, Wei Yilin also came back, and the two of them bumped into each other.
"What smells so good?" Wei Yilin smelled the scent of braised food on Wei Ruo.
"Good stuff." Wei Ruodao.
"Is it the braised meat that my mother bought during the Laba Festival last time?" Wei Yilin asked.
