Chapter 204 Only the eldest lady has charcoal in her room.
"I'll bring the silver bone charcoal to the lady!" Xu Zhushan is a man of action. He turned around and went into the house and carried two sacks of silver bone charcoal.
He carried a bag on one shoulder without any difficulty.
The wet nurse pushed the trolley out, placed two bags of silver bone charcoal on the trolley, tied it with a rope and handed it to Wei Ruo.
After coming out of Sibaozhai, Wei Ruo said to Wei Jinyi: "Second brother, now that you know my secret, you will keep it secret for me, right?" "You didn't avoid me and brought me here, doesn't that
mean Do you already have the answer in your mind?"
Wei Jin was also happy, happy that she was willing to let him know her secret.
Wei Ruoxiao: "Don't second brother also know that I will keep the secret for second brother?"
Wei Jin also said: "Then we are even now."
"Yeah." Wei Ruoxiao.
Then, the two walked back.
Xiaobei and Xiumei were pushing the car together. Because of the slippery road, Xiumei slipped and did not fall down, but she leaned on Xiaobei's body.
Xiaobei couldn't help but blush, looking at Xiumei with a fiery gaze.
After returning to the captain's house, Wei Ruo gave Wei Jinyi one bag of the two bags of charcoal he had brought back.
"The share given to each hospital by the government should not be enough to last until the end of this winter. These second brothers can use it first." Wei Ruo also said to Wei Jin.
"No, I wasn't in the house some time ago. I still have a lot of share. I can still use it for a while." Wei Jin also declined.
Wei Ruo didn't know that this was Wei Jinyi's polite words to him.
When the government gave each courtyard a share, it took into account the short time that Wei Yichen and Wei Jinyi spent in the government, so the amount of charcoal originally allocated to Yingzhuyuan was not that much.
"Second brother, you don't have to be polite to me. The two bags I brought today are all for my brother's sake. Don't worry, second brother, my nanny has prepared a lot for me. I can go and pick them up anytime I want. No need at all." Worry about not having enough.”
Wei Jin was also too kind to refuse. Looking at Wei Ruo's smiling face, he nodded and accepted.
After returning to Tingsong Garden, Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to come over and say: "If someone asks where this charcoal comes from, you will tell him this..." After hearing this, Xiumei asked: "Why did the
lady say that?"
Wei Ruo explained: "Now all the charcoal in the house is burned. I am the only one with charcoal burning in my yard. If someone sees it, there may be trouble. If people know the source of my charcoal, there will inevitably be some trouble."
" I understand." Xiumei wrote down Wei Ruo's words.

After Wei Jinyi returned to the house, Xiaobei lit the charcoal fire.
"Master, this is really a piece of charcoal. The eldest lady must be too rich. This kind of charcoal can only be burned in the homes of dignitaries in the city." Xiao Bei couldn't help but sigh.
Then Xiaobei couldn't help but be curious: "Master, what is the relationship between the two shops we went to today and the eldest lady? Isn't that Sibaozhai opened by the eldest lady?" The one who came out of Sibaozhai
today At that time, Wei Ruo told Wei Jin that she wanted to keep it a secret, but she didn't say anything about the details, nor did she elaborate on her relationship with the two shops.
Wei Jin did not ask any further questions, but naturally gave Wei Ruo an affirmative answer.
"No relationship is important, and she didn't ask me in detail."
For Wei Jinyi, these things are not important, what is important is their trust.
As long as you trust each other, it doesn't matter what secrets the other person has.

It has been two days, and the Wei family’s charcoal fire has not been delivered due to heavy snow and road closures.
Not only were the servants useless, but the charcoal fire in the master's room was also out. Without the charcoal fire for heating, Wei Qingwan's room was as cold as an ice cellar, and it was even colder inside than outside.
I could move a lot during the day, but at night I had difficulty falling asleep. The quilt covering my body was like a lump of iron, hard, cold, and damp.
"How can you sleep like this?" Wei Qingwan just lay down and then got up.
"Miss, don't be anxious. If you hurry, the charcoal fire will be delivered early tomorrow morning. The wife and young master in the mansion are like this now, so they can only endure it." Cui He comforted her.
"I said the same thing yesterday, but didn't I still wait today?" Wei Qingwan's tone was full of resentment.
"This..." Cuihe didn't know how to comfort him.
"Where's Wei Qingruo?" Wei Qingwan asked.
"The eldest lady's side... doesn't seem to be affected. I heard the maid who delivered the meal said that the eldest lady's room is very warm."
Because of the snow these days, it was inconvenient, so Yun asked the big kitchen to prepare the food. Delivered to each yard.
It was precisely because of this that the servants in the mansion discovered that Wei Ruo's residence was different from other places. She seemed to have no shortage of charcoal fire that no one else in the mansion could use.
"Why?" Wei Qingwan looked surprised.
"I don't know about this slave. Maybe the eldest lady bought it with money from her own private treasury. After all, the eldest lady's private treasury..." Cui He stopped.
Everyone in the school captain's house knew about Wei Ruo's money.
"Isn't it true that even if you have money, you can't buy a charcoal fire?" Wei Qingwan asked again.
"I don't know, this slave, maybe the eldest lady has special channels. Now the eldest lady knows a lot of people in the city!" Cui He said.
When he first met Mrs. Yuan, Wei Ruo had many more privileges than other people in the house.
Now, because of loquat paste, she has met many more powerful people in the city.
It is entirely possible to say that he has more connections than anyone else in the house.
Hearing this, Wei Qingwan started to think twice, and after thinking for a moment, she said to Cui He, "Go and call your mother over."
Cui He nodded, and then called Nanny Li over.
Wei Qingwan didn't say much, so she recounted what Cui He had just told her.
After hearing this, Nanny Li understood immediately: "Miss, this is not kind. Since you have channels to get the charcoal, how can you use it to yourself and let other people in the house suffer the cold? Forget about the people around you. Madam is her mother. How can you not care about your mother's health or even life and death?"
Wei Qingwan said: "Perhaps we misunderstood my sister, things are not what we thought." Aunt Li
snorted: "It's not a misunderstanding. We will find out after we ask clearly. , I don’t think there’s much of a misunderstanding here, and it’s unreasonable to say hello what she did. Miss, just wait, I’ll go talk to the madam.” After saying this, Grandma Li left without letting Wei Qingwan stop her
. own opportunity.
When Wei Qingwan called her, she had already walked out of the room.

"Are you telling the truth?" Yunshi frowned.
"How dare I lie about this matter? Whether it is true or not can be revealed at a glance." "
If I know that you lied and wronged the eldest lady, this time it will not be as simple as punishing you to go to Zhuangzi for three months! You will be kicked out of the house. Go and let your old bones die outside in the ice and snow!" Yun said with a stern expression.
