第300章 不会违背你的意愿
紧接着魏屹琛从怀里掏出来徐丰元写的信:“闺阁女子不宜与外男有书信往来,今日这书信是徐兄询问你为何抵触两家婚事的,你看过之后不要回信,有什么想法直接告诉大哥,大哥帮你将话带给徐兄。”
魏若审视着魏屹琛那认真严肃的表情,问:“大哥当真会帮我带话?即便我是想要破坏掉这门亲事?”
“只要不是出格的话,我都会帮伱带到,不会违背你的意愿。”魏屹琛承诺道。
魏若没接话,而是端详着魏屹琛。
魏屹琛感觉到了魏若对自己的不信任,有些失落,但又觉得无奈,便又补充道:“魏家的门楣当由家中男子来撑,万不会靠着女人高嫁来巩固的。”
魏屹琛在这方面深受父亲魏明庭的影响,认为家中姊妹自当在娇宠中长大,一生顺遂便好。
魏若道:“那就有劳大哥了。”
然后接过了魏屹琛手中的书信,当着魏屹琛的面将书信打开。
内容挺简单的,并无什么逾矩的地方,通篇表达的意思是:客气地询问魏若可是对徐家对他有什么不满意的地方,又或者是有什么误解的地方,希望能够及时沟通,避免误会。
并且为了避免信件落入旁人之手引来不必要的麻烦,书信并没有抬头和落款。
魏若看完后又将信件还给了魏屹琛:“麻烦大哥告诉徐公子,我对他和徐家并无任何不满,只是自知性情当不起当家主母的大任。更何况徐公子日后是要入仕为官的,而我是从小在乡野间任性惯了的人,做不来贤内助,也受不得那般拘束。”
“好,大哥知道了,大哥会将若儿的意思带给徐公子的。”
魏屹琛点了点头,而后不在阻拦魏若,目送魏若往听松苑的方向走去。
It wasn't until Wei Ruo's figure disappeared that Wei Yichen withdrew his gaze.
Having settled two worries today, Wei Yichen felt much more relaxed.
When walking back, Wei Yichen met Wei Yilin. He was standing at the corner, looking at Wei Yichen with his little eyes.
"Were you looking at me and your eldest sister just now?" Wei Yichen asked.
"Yeah." Wei Yilin nodded, "I don't want to see you two fighting again." "No
, the eldest brother was impulsive last time. At that time, my father was critically ill. He was anxious and couldn't control himself, so he accidentally injured him. I have married your eldest sister. I will try my best to avoid such things in the future and never do it again."
Wei Yilin nodded heavily: "That's good."
Wei Yichen smiled and couldn't help but touched Wei Yilin's head: "You are really becoming more sensible now. Now, you all know how to worry about things between eldest brother and eldest sister." "
I'm very sensible to begin with. Of course I hope everyone is well. Although I didn't like eldest sister in the past. I thought it was because of her that sister Wanwan was unhappy. Yes. But after getting along with her, I think she is not that annoying, and she is a little pitiful. And she is a member of our family. As a man in the family, of course he should protect the women in the family." "Yes." Wei Yichen touched Holding Wei Yilin's head, "Brother will have less and less time at home in the future, and my father will have to stay in the military camp from time to time. In the future, the family will have to rely on you." "Don't worry, eldest brother, leave it to me!" Wei Yilin said, patting his chest
.
The two brothers talked as they returned to the courtyard where they lived.

After returning to Tingsongyuan, Xiumei asked Wei Ruo: "Miss, is what the young master just said true? Will he really help the young lady refuse the Xu family's marriage? Madam is very optimistic about this marriage, and the housekeeper I'm afraid it's..."
"Believe it or not, it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect my plan. It really makes me anxious, but I can do anything. As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. As long as I am not afraid of a bad reputation, the initiative is in my hands."
The premise that the Yun family can control Wei Ruo's marriage is that Wei Ruo cares about his reputation and wants to marry a good man in the future. As long as Wei Ruo is willing to go out, the initiative will be in Wei Ruo's own hands.
Of course, Wei Ruo also knew that she still had to exercise caution in this matter and not go too far.
If it really happened, and the Wei family just let her hang herself with a Bai Ling for the sake of reputation, then she would really have no reason to reason.
Wei Ruo returned to the room and started to look at the account books. There were a lot of account books recently. Except for the wet nurse and Manager Yu who could help her with some of them, Wei Ruo basically had to check the other parts by herself.
Xiumei couldn't help much in this regard. Whenever Wei Ruo stayed up to read the account books, she could only cook some ginseng tea and midnight snacks for Wei Ruo and accompany him to serve him.
Wei Ruo's current shops, except for the grain shop which has been closed and suspended, other shops are still operating as usual. The business situation is definitely not as good as before, but they are still making money.
Especially for liquor, the income greatly exceeded Wei Ruo's expectations. Two jars of wine a day were sold for a steady ninety-eight taels (50 taels for the braised food shop and 48 taels for Zui Xianju).
As for Si Baozhai, the supply of paper is still in short supply. Those who can afford this paper in the city are the children of the nobles and are willing to spend a lot of money on studying. Even if the external situation is not good now, it will not affect these nobles. Children’s daily expenses.
The sales of pens, inks and inkstones have declined, so the last time Wei Ruo specially asked Sibaozhai to hold an event to attract the majority of literati and calligraphers with the calligraphy treasures of the Tibetan Buddhist monks and a year's supply of paper, in order to increase a wave of sales. A wave of inventory.
Later, when it comes to purchasing goods, she will appropriately reduce the purchase of pen and inkstones to avoid squeezing too much inventory.
Because pens, inks and inkstones are purchased from elsewhere, it will be very disadvantageous for her once the inventory is squeezed.
The sales volume of the braised food shop has not changed much. Originally, the sales volume should have declined a bit during this period, but because the popularity of thyme has driven the sales of braised food, the overall daily turnover is not much different from before. .
The supply of seasonings at Zuixianju has basically remained unchanged recently. Wei Ruo estimates that the situation is very different from that at the braised food shop. It is probably because the introduction of thyme has increased the customer flow, which has offset the customer flow caused by the recent economic downturn. decline.
The mushroom cultivation industry in Xingshan County has expanded a lot in the first half of this year, especially after the cold wave. Wei Ruo has increased investment in mushroom cultivation. Recently, almost all the mushroom cultivation industries near the west side of Xingshan County are suitable for growing mushrooms. All the caves were bought.
