Chapter 347 They are more like family.
"What's the matter?"
"I just want to trouble you to help me look after Meimei... Meimei... Although Meimei is good at martial arts, she is not as smart as sister Ruo'er. I'm afraid she will be beaten by you." Those brats in the house who are accustomed to playing tricks were deceived..."
As he spoke, Xu Zhengyong's cheeks turned slightly red.
"You should talk to Ruo'er about this," Wei Jin also said.
"That won't work. Sister Ruo'er and Meimei are together. If I tell sister Ruo'er, Meimei will know." "
I know, and I will pay attention to Brother Xu." Wei Jin also replied.
Hearing this answer, Xu Zhengyong happily patted Wei Jinyi on the shoulder, "Then I would like to thank Brother Wei in advance!"
After talking to Xu Zhengyong, Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi did not leave immediately. With the kind invitation, we stayed and had dinner together.
The dining table was arranged in the courtyard, and the wet nurse prepared a table full of home-cooked meals.
Although these dishes are not as good as Chef Zui Xianju's craftsmanship, nor are they as high-end as the ingredients, they have a taste of home that cannot be compared with other places, making people want to eat.
At the dinner table, Wei Ruo and the Xu family were seen talking and laughing, and Wei Jin also saw a different Wei Ruo.
Maybe this is the real her, and she in the captain's mansion is restrained.
The relationship between the Xu family and Wei Ruo also made Wei Jin feel relaxed and warm like never before.
"Brother Wei, please eat more." Xu Zhengyong enthusiastically served Wei Jinyi some food, "Look at you, you are so thin that you can fall over if the wind blows. If I hit you with my fist, you won't even be able to stand. You must You need to eat more to be strong."
Xiumei snickered from the side.
"Meimei, why are you laughing?" Xu Zhengyong asked.
"It's nothing, I'm just looking forward to you punching the second young master." Xiumei said with a smile.
"I'm just making an analogy, Brother Wei is good to sister Ruo'er, why should I beat him?" Xu Zhengyong said and then turned to explain to Wei Jinyi, "Brother Wei, don't worry, although my fist is hard, it is not a beating. It's yours, I'll only beat up those who bully sister Ruo'er."
"Yes." Wei Jin also agreed.
Xiumei smiled even happier.
"Meimei, what are you laughing at?" Xu Zhengyong was puzzled.
"It's okay, it's okay, I just think you are so awesome, Brother Xiaoyong." Xiumei said with a smile.
Xu Zhengyong looked suspicious. He always felt that Xiumei was teasing him by saying this, but he couldn't find any evidence.
Wei Ruo put a large piece of braised pork with dried plums and vegetables into Wei Jinyi's bowl: "Brother Xiaoyong is right. You look like a weakling. You should eat more. This braised pork with dried plums and vegetables is... You can try my wet nurse's specialty dishes."
This kind of behavior of picking up vegetables would not happen in the Wei family. In a wealthy family, this kind of behavior seems indecent.
But in the Xu family, there is no such taboo, and there is no rule about not talking during meals. The whole dinner table is lively and full of warmth that is not found in the Wei family.
"Yeah." Wei Jin also picked up the meat and tasted it carefully, "It's delicious."
Seeing that Wei Jin also said it was delicious, the wet nurse breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried that he wouldn't like it. After all, the young lady's brother had been in school since she was a child. Weifu, who is used to eating delicate food, may not be used to eating pickled vegetables and the like.
Xu Zhengyong said to Wei Jinyi: "Brother Wei, you should come here often with sister Ruo'er and my junior sister. My mother knows a lot of dishes." "Yes." Wei Jin also responded, with a smile on his face
. A shallow, gentle smile.
"Who is your junior sister?" Xiumei was dissatisfied with what Xu Zhengyong called her.
"You!" Xu Zhengyong said confidently.
"Don't come here, I'm your senior sister!" Xiumei retorted.
"No, you are my junior sister!" Xu Zhengyong insisted.
"..." The two began to argue about seniority again.
Wei Ruo, wet nurse and Xu Zhushan are all very used to it.
Wei Ruo also explained to Wei Jin: "They quarrel every once in a while. I might not be used to it anymore if they stop quarreling." "
Well, it's good." Wei Jin also said.
This kind of quarrel only happens to people with good relationships, but not to ordinary people.
In the midst of laughter and laughter, everyone finished dinner in the backyard of Sibaozhai. Afterwards, Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also took a carriage back to the school captain's residence.
On the way, Wei Jin also saw Wei Ruo in a good mood, and his own mood also relaxed.
"Ruo'er, do you want to go back to that home?" Wei Jinyi suddenly asked.
That family is the Xu family.
Perhaps for Ruo'er, a place with many family members is more like her home.
"I want to, but it's difficult, isn't it? No matter how the Wei family declines, it will still be the Lord's family. No matter how much I can make money, I will still be just a businessman and a prostitute. There is a huge disparity in status, and I can't fight." "So you want to get married." This matter
. Wei Jin also learned from Wang Caiwei that this was the first time he had a face-to-face talk with Wei Ruo since returning.
"Yes, I want freedom. I don't know if my second brother can understand it. I know my ideas are a bit shocking, but they can help me get the life I want." Wei Ruo explained.
At dusk, the light inside the carriage was not bright. One side of Wei Ruo's face reflected the light of the sunset, while the other side was hidden in darkness.
Wei Jin also stared at Wei Ruo's face and said nothing for a while.
Wei Ruo raised his head and smiled at Wei Jinyi: "So second brother, don't stop me next time. I've thought about it clearly."
Wei Jinyi neither agreed nor refuted.
###
Early the next morning, Wei Mingting also returned to the school captain's residence.
There must be a reason why he returns home so frequently. Otherwise, given the current tense situation along the coast, Wei Mingting, as the deputy guard, would never be able to leave his post so frequently.
After returning home, Wei Mingting locked himself in the study.
Out of concern, Yun asked the kitchen to make some food and came to visit.
"Husband, why are you back? But what happened at the military camp?" Yun's face was filled with concern.
"Something happened." Wei Mingting frowned and looked solemn.
"Is the problem of food and grass not solved yet?"
"The problem of food and grass has been solved, but now there is another equally serious thing bothering me." "
What is that?" Yun asked.
Wei Mingting looked at Yun and sighed: "Go and call Ruo'er over. I have some things I want to talk to her about."
Wei Mingting felt depressed, but Wei Mingting felt that talking to his wife about these matters was of little use. The image of the eldest daughter came to his mind.
Yun was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the person her husband was thinking of at this time would be the eldest daughter.
After thinking for a moment, Mrs. Yun replied: "Okay, I will send someone to call Ruo'er."
Then Mrs. Yun called Cuiping and asked her to listen to Songyuan and invite Wei Ruo over.
When Cuiping got Yun's order to listen to Songyuan to find Wei Ruo, Wei Ruo was reading the account books in his room.
