Chapter 340 The credit is left to brother Xiaoyong
. Wei Ruo couldn't help but wonder: "Why did the second brother suddenly say this?
" "I'm just worried that I have been away from you all year round, and occasionally rumors will come back by mistake, making you worry in vain." Wei Jin also answered.
"Second brother, don't worry. I won't believe rumors casually. You just need to take care of yourself. Don't worry about me." Wei Ruodao.
"Yes."
After entering the city, Wei Ruo did not go back directly to the captain's mansion, but asked the carriage to take a detour to Sibaozhai.
Just like the last time he went to Sibaozhai, Wei Ruo did not avoid Wei Jinyi this time. He took Wei Jinyi directly in.
Wei Ruo found the nanny and said to her: "Nanny, help me send a letter to Brother Xiaoyong. Just put it in your home letter." One of the advantages of
serving armies being close to each other is that every once in a while, the army will The lieutenant general will send letters home from the soldiers, and will also take letters from their families to the soldiers in the military camp.
"Okay, it's almost the end of the month, and it's time for the military camp to deliver letters. Then I will put the miss's letter in our letters and give it to them." The nanny said.
"Yes."
Wei Ruo nodded, then sat down and wrote down what he wanted to tell Xu Zhengyong on paper.
Wei Jin also took the initiative to avoid reading what Wei Ruo wrote.
After finishing the matter, Wei Ruocai and Wei Jinyi returned to the captain's mansion together.
After the two returned to the house, they discovered that Wei Mingting was also in the house today.
This is unusual, because he just came back a few days ago. If there was nothing important, he would not return home at this time. After all, the situation on the front line is very tense.
At dinner time in the evening, everyone in the Wei family was present except Wei Qingwan who was still recovering from his injuries.
After dinner, Wei Mingting told his family the reason why he would come back today - to prepare military rations.
Seeing that there was another confrontation with the Japanese pirates, the military rations were not supplied in time, which shook the morale of the army.
Not to mention that when the army's granary bottoms out in a few days, the soldiers will be hungry and most of the battle will be lost before the battle is even fought.
Wei Mingting had no good solution now, so he could only return to the city and ask the prefect Yuan Zhengqin for help.
But Yuan Zhengqin is also a clever woman who cannot make a living without rice. Now the government office has indeed obtained a lot of food, but this food was provided by Wei Ruo using the work-for-relief method to attract the powerful gentry of Taizhou Prefecture for the purpose of profit, and it does not return to the government. It belongs to the government office and cannot be used casually by the government office.
After listening to Wei Mingting's description, Yun asked Wei Ruo: "Ruo'er, you are in charge of land reclamation and disaster relief. You are also responsible for allocating the food. Please help your father find a way and transfer a batch to the military camp first." We are here to rescue the emergency."
Wei Ruo replied: "Mother, didn't my father just say that he has already discussed it with Mr. Yuan. Mr. Yuan can't use this batch of food to go to the military camp at will, so how can I? If you can lead The dissatisfaction of the powerful and wealthy gentry, who had money to provide food and work, made them lose confidence in the government and this land reclamation and disaster relief operation. Has mother ever thought about the consequences?" "Then we can't just watch the bloodshed
for the country, home and people. Are the fighting soldiers starving?" Yun asked worriedly.
Wei Mingting interrupted Yun and said, "What Ruo'er said is correct. These grains cannot be touched casually. Don't embarrass Ruo'er. We need to find another way to provide military rations." "I understand," Yun said with her head lowered
.
Wei Yichen and Wei Jin also remained silent throughout the process and did not express any opinions.

After Wei Ruo returned to Tingsongyuan, Xiumei asked Wei Ruo: "Miss, didn't you say before that if the army is short of food, are you willing to give the stored food to the military camp? Why didn't you tell me just now?"
The granaries in Wei Ruo's village are full. Wei Ruo said before that these grains will not be sold and are for emergencies unless the army is short of food.
"Meimei, have you forgotten that I went to Sibaozhai today?" "Well, the lady wrote to Brother Xiaoyong." After Xiumei answered, she was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, "Miss, Do you want Brother Xiaoyong to come forward?"
"Well, being able to solve the urgent needs of the military camp should be regarded as a credit, right?" Wei Ruodao.
Xiumei nodded: "If the matter that the seventh prince and the master are both worried about is solved, it must be a great achievement!" "
In this case, I can't give out food in vain, no matter what, I have to help Brother Xiaoyong earn military merit."
"Yes, yes, let Brother Xiaoyong earn military merit!" Xiumei raised her hands and feet in agreement.

Wangmeiyuan.
Wei Qingwan, who was recovering from illness, also heard the news that Wei Mingting was back. She looked forward to her father coming to visit her.
If she was injured in the past, no matter how small it was, even if she accidentally fell or got bumped in the courtyard, her father would come to visit her when she got home. Even if she couldn't come over, he would still die. Someone come and care.
However, today she waited until late at night and did not wait for Wei Mingting to visit her.
Her hopes were dashed, and Wei Qingwan couldn't help but feel disappointed and sad.
In the past two days, Wei Qingwan has been able to get out of bed. With the help of Granny Li, Wei Qingwan stood in front of the window and looked at the crescent moon outside the window sadly.
"Mommy, what should I do now? Now that my father is really tired of me, can I still survive in this family?" Wei Qingwan asked Grandma Li.
Grandma Li was also anxious. She was no less worried about this matter than Wei Qingwan.
But she still had to patiently comfort Wei Qingwan: "Miss, don't worry, the master is still angry now. When he subsides, he will be able to think of the past father-daughter relationship again." Wei Qingwan did not answer and looked
at Outside, I just feel like the broken flowers that have bloomed in the yard, swaying in the wind, helpless and precarious.
"Miss, you are still weak now. Let me help you go back to bed and rest." Nanny Li advised.
Wei Qingwan nodded, and with the help of Granny Li, she slowly moved back to the bed.
After sitting down, Wei Qingwan asked: "Mommy, why haven't the medicines been delivered tonight?"
Wei Qingwan takes medicine once every morning and evening, both internally and externally.
But tonight, neither internal medicine nor external medicine has been delivered.
"This..." Grandma Li didn't know how to explain.
She actually asked her daughter Cuihe to rush to the kitchen, but the kitchen said they had run out of medicine and hadn't bought it back yet, so there was nothing they could do.
"What's going on?" Wei Qingwan realized that Grandma Li was hiding something from her.
"Miss, we've run out of medicine..."
"But I'm not fully recovered yet, why don't they get any more medicine?" Wei Qingwan couldn't believe what her ears were hearing.
She hasn't recovered yet, so why hasn't anyone in the house bought medicine for herself?
"This..." Grandma Li didn't know what to say.
"So now they don't even care about my life or death?" Wei Qingwan was shocked, her eyes were red and tears filled her eyes.
