Chapter 199 My young master’s gift to the eldest lady
Wei Yichen reached out and touched Wei Yilin’s head: “Don’t think too much, the root cause of this matter is not with you.”
Wei Yilin said thoughtfully: “Brother, I don’t think mother is right . Wrong, what she did was unbecoming of a lady. Not only would she have a bad reputation, she would also bring trouble to her second sister. But what the eldest sister said, I feel like it was not wrong..." What Wei Qingruo said just now,
he Was shocked.
Wei Yichen said: "Your eldest sister has not lived with us for the past thirteen years. She has had her own difficulties. We should be more considerate and tolerant of her. Her past behavior seems inappropriate now, but we cannot suddenly It requires her to change too much and she needs to take her time. So maybe everyone is right, but the mistake is that thirteen years is too long."
Wei Yilin nodded as if he understood.
Wei Qingwan, who was behind the two, listened to their conversation and lowered her head involuntarily.
If the elder brother hadn't been here, Wei Qingruo and his mother would have had a dispute tonight, and her mother might not have spared Wei Qingruo so easily this time... ###
When
Wei Ruo left the dining room, it was already snowy outside.
The snow started to fall when Wei Ruogang arrived home. Within an hour (two hours), the road, tree branches, and roofs were all covered in thick silver.
After returning to Tingsongyuan, Wei Ruo and Xiumei set up tables and chairs in the yard and took out the prepared food and wine.
Such heavy snow is common in the north, but rare in Taizhou Prefecture.
Both Wei Ruo and Wei were from the south and had never seen heavy snow, so they moved their things to the courtyard to enjoy the snow.
Because the weather was cold, there was a stove nearby, which could be used for both heating and wine.
The light from the stove, the light from the lanterns hanging on the trees, and the moonlight reflected by the white snow made the courtyard very bright.
After the master and servant had moved everything, the snow began to lighten.
"That's great. It's best to stop now." Wei Ruodao.
"I think it can continue to rain for a while. The thicker the snow, the better it will look." Xiumei said.
Xiumei has never seen heavy snow, so she doesn't know the dangers of too much snow.
"Moistening snow can herald a good harvest. The thickness of the snow at this time is just right. If it snows again, it will cause a snow disaster." Wei Ruo explained to Xiumei.
"Why is this? Isn't it so cold today even if it doesn't snow? And what harm can this light snow do?" Xiumei didn't quite understand.
"It looks light, but if it accumulates thickly, the weight will collapse the house and overwhelm the trees. Since heavy snow is rare in Taizhou Prefecture, the construction of houses here does not take this situation into account. Once the snow accumulates too much, If it is thick, the house will not be able to bear it, especially those whose families are not wealthy and whose houses are in disrepair." "
I see, then let's just stop like this. It's already very beautiful." Xiumei said.
"Well, come, have a drink, and wish this auspicious snow." Wei Ruodao.
Although Wei Ruo knew that according to the direction of the original work, things would not be smooth in the next few years and the people's lives would still not be easy, he still secretly hoped that this snow would not be a major disaster at least.
The reason why Wei Ruo doesn't know what will happen to this snow is because at this time in the original work, the Wei family and the original owner are facing a greater dilemma.
When Wei Mingting passed away, Yun took a few people to escort Wei Mingting's coffin back to the capital. They spent this year in the capital, but their life was very miserable.
The original owner didn't know whether it snowed in Taizhou Mansion that year, and Wei Ruo didn't know either.
"Miss, although this warm rice wine can ward off the cold, you shouldn't drink too much!" Xiumei warned Wei Ruo.
"My dear Meimei, during the Lunar New Year this year, can't you just let me have a drink?" Wei Ruo begged for mercy.
"No. Mother Xu is not here this year, so I have to watch you even more!" Xiumei's attitude was firm.
"Nanny didn't take care of me like this." Wei Ruo protested, flattening her mouth and blinking her pitiful eyes, trying to make her family Meimei soften her heart.
"Then it's me now, not the nanny. Besides, miss, you will say it yourself, drinking and drinking for pleasure will harm your body if you get drunk." Xiumei looked serious. "Okay, okay, I obey, I will drink this small pot, not more." Wei Ruo reluctantly compromised.
Wei Ruo and Xiumei clinked glasses. After drinking half the glass, they felt a little lonely.
In previous years, there were wet nurses, Uncle Xu and Brother Xiao Yong, but this year there were only the two of them.
Wei Ruo looked at the snow scene in the courtyard. The snow scene was beautiful, but a little deserted.
At this moment, something fell from a height and landed on the untrodden snow in front of Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo looked over and saw an exquisite brocade box.
Xiumei stepped forward and picked up the brocade box. She saw that the brocade box was brand new and did not belong to Wei Ruo.
"That's weird. I've heard of pies falling from the sky, but why are there brocade boxes falling from the sky?"
Xiumei looked at the brocade box repeatedly with a suspicious look on her face.
Wei Ruo was also confused and looked up.
At this time, a head poked out from the wall, looking at Wei Ruo and Xiumei with a smile.
"Xiao Bei?" Xiumei put her hands on her hips and walked towards Xiao Bei.
Xiao Beihan said with a smile: "Miss Xiumei, my young master threw the brocade box as a gift for the eldest lady. Because the door between the east and west courtyards was closed, the young master had no choice but to throw the gift over."
Wei Jin Yi has always been very polite and never set foot in Wei Ruo's Tingsong Garden when he was in Xingshan County.
Xiumei asked: "The second young master is here too?"
Xiaobei nodded: "Yes, he is."
Wei Ruo asked: "When did you come back?" Xiaobei
replied: "You just came back, you just arrived in the yard, the heater in the room I came here to give things to the eldest lady before she was even born."
Wei Ruo asked, "What about your young master?"
Xiao Bei said, "The young master went back to his yard."
Wei Ruo said, "Tell your young master that I'll let him come over."
Now that Wei Ruo couldn't make it, he had no choice but to let Wei Jinyi come over.
In the past, Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi's yards were only separated by a wall. Now, in addition to the walls of their respective yards, there is also a high fence that separates the east and west backyards. Only one of the doors in this fence can pass through, and it is guarded.
At night, the door was closed, and Wei Ruo couldn't get through if he wanted to go to Yingzhuyuan.
"Okay." Xiaobei responded and disappeared from the wall.
After a while, Xiaobei came back: "Miss, my young master said it's too late and it's not good for people to see him in the yard of the eldest lady." Wei Ruo said, "Go back and tell him,
if he But come here, I will use the ladder to climb the wall and go to his yard."
Xiao Bei was stunned for a moment, "Okay, I will go and send a message to the young master."
After that, he disappeared again.
After a while, Wei Jin, dressed in white, also crossed the wall and landed briskly in Wei Ruo's yard.
