Chapter 368 Blood relatives
Wei Ruo grabbed some clothes and wrapped himself more tightly.
Wei Ruo complained in his heart that he couldn't wear clothes made of this material next time he went out. This material was specially improved by himself. Although it was clearer and lighter than ordinary materials, it was indeed more comfortable to wear when the weather was hot, but It’s really embarrassing to encounter this situation!
Then Wei Ruo leaned on the stone wall behind him, listening to the sound of heavy rain falling in the mountains and forests, and the sound of thunder from time to time.
Because her whole body was wet, she seemed a little anxious, hoping that the rain would end soon.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Wei Jinyi with his back turned to him. Wei Ruo couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. Although his second brother was a bit "pedantic" at times, he was really considerate of him.
Apart from brother Xiaoyong, he is the second brother who is good to him, and he is also the only person who has a blood relationship with him and gets along with him like a family member.
This is her relative. Fortunately, God was not very bad to her and left her a "relative".
"Thank you, second brother." Wei Ruo whispered to Wei Ruo.
"Yeah." Wei Jin responded, his voice a little lower than usual.
Xiumei on the other side is in a similar situation to Wei Ruo. The clothes she wears are made of the same material as Wei Ruo's.
Xiaobei followed suit and covered Xiumei's body with her own clothes, and Xiumei whispered "thank you" in a low voice.
I don’t know if God heard Wei Ruo’s call, but the rain stopped after about a stick of incense.
Although the rain has stopped, water is still flowing on the ground. The entire mountain seems to have been washed by the rain, and the water flow converges like a small stream.
Wei Jin also asked Xiaobei to go out to a place that was not exposed to rain to find some dry firewood and leaves.
Although it wasn't too cold today, Wei Ruo couldn't go back to the city with his clothes and hair so wet.
Wei Jin also cut down some miscellaneous trees nearby and built a temporary barrier to cover Wei Ruo and Xiumei.
After Xiaobei returned from collecting firewood, he lit a fire for Wei Ruo and Xiumei to hide behind the temporary barrier to bake their clothes.
After the shower, the sun came out again, and with the fire burning, the clothes of several people were dried in just one stick of incense.
Although Wei Ruo and the others still looked a little embarrassed, they were not that uncomfortable after all.
When coming out from behind the temporary barrier, Wei Ruo returned the clothes that had also been dried to Wei Jinyi.
Wei Jin also took the clothes and smelled a faint fragrance on the clothes. It was not like flowers or balm, but like a mixture of herbs and sandalwood.
Wei Jin also knew that this was the smell of Wei Ruo's body, and couldn't help but tighten her fingers.
After renovating, several people went down the mountain again and rushed back to the city in front of the city gate.
Early the next morning, Wei Ruo went to the villages and counties in the Fengting Mountain area and had a general discussion about the purchase. The negotiation process went smoothly, especially since Wei Ruo was willing to buy with a combination of money and grain, which made them agree. Extremely happy.
In this year's situation, food is particularly precious. It is easier to buy things with food than with money.
At the same time, the brothers Zhao Hai and Zhao Xun also arrived in the provincial capital. Zhao Hai will help Wei Ruo manage her newly purchased field village. And he came just in time to help Wei Ruo settle down the villagers of Dahe Village who were hiding on Fengting Mountain.
The reason why Zhao Hai was arranged to come over was not only because he had good ability and experience in managing Zhuangzi, but also partly because his younger brother Zhao Xun wanted to come to the provincial capital to take the provincial examination. Zhao Xun is a scholar, and he has the opportunity to participate in this year's provincial examination. It's just that his physical condition is worrying, and it's hard to say whether he can persist in taking the entire exam.
Zhao Hai didn't want him to participate in this situation. His body had finally gotten better under Wei Ruo's care. Taking part in the laborious provincial examination might make his condition worsen again.
But Zhao Xun himself was very insistent, saying that he did not want to miss this opportunity, and would rather die in the examination room than miss it.
Zhao Hai had no choice but to agree to accompany him to the provincial capital.
So Wei Ruo made such an arrangement by the way, which not only made it easier for Zhao Hai to take care of Zhao Xun, but also allowed Zhao Hai to help her handle matters in the provincial capital.
In addition to Zhao Hai, several villagers from Shitou Village will also arrive in the provincial capital later for Zhao Hai to dispatch to organize the follow-up farming work of the newly purchased fields for Wei Ruo.
Because Wei Ruo has a certain understanding of these villagers in Stone Village and recognizes their abilities and attitudes.
When a new Zhuangzi is started, completely using new people will make management more difficult. Especially this time, the field purchased by Wei Ruo is relatively large and difficult to manage. Allocating some familiar people will make things smoother.
After that, Wei Ruo went shopping in the city, looked at some shops, and asked about the prices.
But the shop was in no hurry to make a decision. Wei Ruo only chose a rough location, and the specific decision would be made after Uncle Xu, the wet nurse, came over for further investigation and understanding.
On the third day, Wei Ruocai and Wei Jinyi went to see Wei Yichen and gave him something.
When they met, Wei Yichen's expression was still as cold and serious as it was a few days ago. He was no longer gentle as before, and he would not catch Wei Ruo and say a lot of things like before.
Wei Yichen simply thanked Wei Jinyi and Wei Ruo and let them go back.
After finishing their work, Wei Ruo and others set off back to Taizhou Mansion that afternoon.
This trip, including the round trip and the time spent in the provincial capital, took Wei Ruo and others eight days.
If it weren't for the fear of being scolded by the Yun family if he returned late, Wei Ruo would have been delayed for a few more days on his way back.
By the time Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi returned to Taizhou Prefecture, it happened to be the night of August 14th.
Because the next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole house was extremely busy.
After Wei Ruo returned home, he went to greet Yun as usual.
But Yun's expression was very bad today, and she didn't look happy about celebrating the Reunion Festival, but her expression didn't seem to be directed at Wei Ruo, and she didn't say much about Wei Ruo's late return.
I wonder if it’s because the children she values most are not with her on the days when they should be reunited.
After returning to Tingsongyuan and calling for Nanny Zhang to inquire carefully, I found out that the reason why Yun was in a bad mood was not only because Wei Yichen and Wei Qingwan were not at home.
Even Wei Mingting won't be able to come back tomorrow, because the anti-Japanese troops on the front line and the Japanese pirates are fighting again. I don't know what the situation is now.
In addition, while Wei Ruo and the others were going to the provincial capital, the Yun family received a letter from the eldest master of the Earl's Palace in the capital to the principal's palace. The letter said that there was a noble person in the capital who wanted to support the eldest master and arrange an official position for him. But the premise is that their masters must cooperate.
