Chapter 264 Let’s go together
because today is the first day of junior high school and the academy gives students a day off. Wei Mingting is still resting at home because his injury has not fully recovered.
Now the Yun family has started the rule of having separate tables for men and women. During dinner, there are two tables separated by a screen.
After dinner is finished and everyone sits down to drink tea and chat, the women can talk to the men in the family.
Wei Qingwan first asked about Wei Yichen's situation in the academy these days and expressed concern. Then he told Wei Mingting about the invitation he received from the Xu family to watch the dragon boat today.
"Father, Miss Yaojun invited me to watch the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival." "
Well, that's a good thing. Wanwan should be more careful." Wei Mingting nodded.
"I'm going that day too, and I'll send Wanwan there then." Wei Yichen said.
"Brother, are you going too?" Wei Qingwan looked happy.
"Well, I have made an appointment with Brother Fengyuan and the others, and every year Anzhou College selects some students to form a team to participate in the dragon boat competition." Wei Yichen explained.
"Then big brother won't participate?" Wei Yilin asked quickly after hearing this.
Wei Yichen smiled and said: "I'm not good at doing this."
Wei Yichen is good at literature but not at martial arts, and dragon boat racing is a very physical thing, so Wei Yichen naturally did not participate.
After speaking, Wei Yichen added: "Brother Fengyuan is participating. He is good at both civil and military skills. You can see his performance that day."
Wei Yilin said somewhat dullly: "Our martial arts school also formed a team. I wanted to participate, but Master said that I am too young and it will be my turn in a few years. Now only the older brothers are allowed to participate." After that,
Wei Yilin asked Wei Mingting: "Father, can I go and watch that day?"
Although there are some who can't participate. I'm disappointed, but it would be nice to see it in person.
"Okay, you can travel with me on the Dragon Boat Festival." Wei Mingting said.
"Okay!" An expression of excitement immediately appeared on Wei Yilin's face.
Then Wei Yilin's eyes fell on Wei Ruo: "Where's eldest sister? Are eldest sisters going too?"
Wei Ruo deliberately did not interrupt and was quietly sipping tea on the side, but did not want to be called by Wei Yilin's name.
Yun said: "Your eldest sister can't go out with you and your father. If she wants to go, she can only go with her mother."
Wei Ruo is fourteen years old, so he cannot be taken out by his father alone. It is against the rules. .
"Is that so... Will eldest sister and mother go together?" Wei Yilin asked again.
"No, I sent a message from the prefect today. Miss Xu also invited your eldest sister to go with you." Yun replied.
The post was sent directly to Xiaowei's Mansion by someone from the Xu family, so it couldn't be hidden from the Yun family.
Hearing this, Wei Qingwan's face froze slightly, then she looked at Wei Ruo and said with a smile: "So my sister is going too, that's really great."
Wei Ruo replied unhurriedly: "Actually, I plan to turn down this invitation. I am not familiar with Miss Xu, and I don’t like to join in the fun."
Hearing this, Mrs. Yun hurriedly said: "You must not turn it down. Mrs. Xu talked to me about this a few days ago. As I mentioned, my mother has already agreed on your behalf."
Then Yun said: "Ruo'er, it will do more good than harm to you to hang out with the ladies from other families in the city."
Wei Ruo's face was a little dark, Yun said He actually agreed for her in front of Mrs. Tongzhi without asking her opinion. Yun felt a little embarrassed and guilty when she noticed that Wei Ruo's expression was not right.
Everyone else also noticed this, and Wei Qingwan hurriedly said: "Sister, Mrs. Tongzhi likes you very much, so she really wants you to go watch the dragon boat race together. Just go together. Don't let Mrs. Tongzhi down." So kind-hearted."
Wei Ruo glanced at Wei Qingwan and then ignored her.
Because Wei Ruo knew in her heart that Wei Qingwan spoke now to show that she was a considerate and good daughter, and if she argued with Wei Qingwan too much at this moment, she might give Wei Qingwan a chance to be innocent and wronged.
In addition, she had just slapped her in the face a few days ago, and if there was another argument now, other people in the Wei family would suspect that she was targeting her, which would in turn put her at a disadvantage.
Seeing that Wei Ruo didn't refute, Wei Qingwan pursed her lips and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
She didn't think about Wei Qingruo going to watch the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival. The experience of the last outing together was still vivid in her mind...
If Wei Qingruo had a dispute with her now, maybe...
Wei Ruo didn't speak for a long time, Yun couldn't bear it and said : "Ruo'er, you haven't been back home for a long time. There are some ways of life that you don't know yet. You can believe that it is for your own good that my mother agreed to do this for you." "I understand." Although Wei Ruo was dissatisfied with Yun's family
, behavior, but also measured.
Yun is a mother, and she can make decisions for her daughter in some matters.
Wei Ruo breathed a sigh of relief. Not only Yunshi breathed a sigh of relief, but Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin also breathed a sigh of relief. The two brothers were worried that Wei Ruo's temper would get worse and he would conflict with their mother again. This was the last thing they wanted to see.
###
The fifth day of May.
Early in the morning, Xiumei got up and helped Wei Ruo dress up, because they would go out to watch the dragon boat race soon.
"Give me the most common bun, and choose some old clothes that I have worn, with an older and simpler style." Wei Ruo told Xiumei.
"Why? Miss, you still have several new clothes in your wardrobe. I have recently learned a lot of buns that are popular among young girls in the city," Xiumei said.
"Your lady, I don't need to look good today. I won't compete with them. I don't get the slightest benefit from being more beautiful than others. If I can get rewarded for being more beautiful than others, I can consider dressing up." Wei Ruo replied. road.
How about being more beautiful than other ladies from aristocratic families in the same group? So what if someone compliments you on how beautiful you look? She has no income at all.
"Miss, what you said makes sense, then I will make her look more normal and make her makeup a little rougher!" Xiumei said.
"Well, my good Meimei understands me!"
After dressing up, Wei Ruo looked no different from usual, even worse than usual.
Arriving at the door, two carriages had been waiting for a long time.
Wei Qingwan, who came out at about the same time, was slightly startled when she saw Wei Ruo's outfit, and then lowered her head.
Wei Ruo's eyes also glanced at Wei Qingwan. Wei Qingwan was wearing a new dress made at the end of last year, a goose-yellow skirt with flowers embroidered on it, which made her skin extra delicate, and her figure was exquisite and bright. Her hair was The bun is the most popular nowadays. It complements her delicate face and looks as cute as a hibiscus.
In such a comparison, Wei Ruo's dress is not only mediocre, but even a little crude.
When Yun saw the two people's outfits, she frowned slightly. Her eyes stayed on Wei Ruo for a while, but she hesitated to speak.
