Chapter 43 I can help you
Wei Jinyi is not even a boy student, let alone a scholar, a scholar, or a Jinshi.
Never even passed the exam.
Although he is an unpopular concubine, if he wants to take the exam, Wei Mingting and the Yun family will probably agree. If he passes the exam, it will be an honor for the family.
"This was not my ambition before." Wei Jin also replied.
"In the past?"
"Yeah."
"Has it changed now?"
"There have been some changes."
"So you want to take the exam?" Wei Ruo asked.
Wei Jinyi is only sixteen now. Although he started taking the exam later than Wei Yichen and others, it is not too late in this era where scholars take the imperial exam for life.
Wei Jin didn't answer the question, but asked about Wei Ruo: "I heard that mother is arranging for you to go to the magistrate's office to take classes." "Yes, I hope she can
arrange it slower."
"You don't want to go?" Wei Jin also asked.
"Well, I don't want to go." Wei Ruo flattened his mouth and sighed helplessly.
"Do you not want to go to class or do you want to go to the county magistrate's office?" Wei Jinyi asked again.
"Although I don't really want to go to class, but in comparison, I still don't want to go to class with Wei Qingwan more." Wei Ruo replied.
Probably because of their life-long friendship, Wei Ruo became much less defensive about Wei Jinyi, and said some things to Wei Jinyi that should not be said to other people in the Wei family.
And Wei Jin also knew what happened last time.
Wei Ruo said: "Actually, I wanted to find another female teacher, but it was rejected. I don't know how long I can delay the matter in the wasteland south of the city."
In fact, if Wei Ruo himself had the financial strength to afford Shu Xiu to hire a female teacher, he could also find a way to hire a decent female teacher, but it would be a bit troublesome to get the nod from the school captain's office without exposing himself. , Wei Ruo has not yet thought of a suitable solution to the problem.
Wei Jinyi stared at Wei Ruo, who was a little worried, and said, "I can help you hire a famous female gentleman." "
Can you hire a famous female gentleman?" Wei Ruo looked at Wei Jinyi suspiciously.
Recruiting a famous female gentleman is not easy, and it is not something you can do with money.
"My biological mother comes from a scholarly family and has some connections in this area. I still have some contacts with people from my biological mother's side. It shouldn't be difficult to hire a female gentleman for you." Wei Jin also explained.
Wei Ruo didn't know much about the situation of Wei Jinyi's biological mother, but looking at Wei Jinyi's serious expression, she knew that he sincerely wanted to help her and was confident that he could do it for her.
Then Wei Ruo stopped being polite to him.
"If it's a famous female gentleman, maybe I can solve this matter and get them to agree that I won't study with Wei Qingwan." Wei Ruo suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo's raised corners of her mouth and her smart and cunning eyes, vaguely looking forward to her next arrangement in this matter.
After Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi chatted for a while, Xiumei and Xiaobei came back with the prepared dishes.
Three dishes and one soup, steaming hot, fill the courtyard with fragrance.
Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to sit down and eat together, and Wei Jin also called Xiaobei to come to the table.
None of them are rigid people. There is no one else around today, so there is no need for the master and servant to distinguish them so clearly.
There were four people sitting at the small stone table in the Octagonal Pavilion. Three of the four dishes this time were not spicy.
Wei Ruo informed Wei Jinyi in advance that the plate of fried chicken offal would be choking like the seafood hotpot last time, and told him not to touch it and drink more chicken soup. Wei Jinyi did not touch the chicken offal at first, but after tasting the other three dishes, Wei Jinyi still went to taste the chicken offal.
After the last experience of choking, this time he took small bites and chewed slowly.
He seemed to want to figure out why this exciting smell attracted Wei Ruo so much.
Seeing that he tried again, Wei Ruo looked at him curiously.
Seeing that he didn't choke like last time, he asked, "How is it?"
"I don't think it's delicious, and it's not difficult to swallow." Wei Jin also commented.
"Then if you have the opportunity to eat it a few more times, maybe you will fall in love with this taste."
"Yeah."
Because it was inconvenient to move, Wei Ruo stayed in the pavilion of Yingzhuyuan all afternoon, and Xiumei helped her I brought some account books over.
She and Wei Jinyi were alone, he looked at his, she looked at hers, they didn't disturb each other, they didn't talk during the period, and they got along very quietly.
Wei Jin also caught a glimpse of Wei Ruo's handwriting on the paper. The handwriting was extremely childish, as if she had just started practicing calligraphy. The only person in the family who could compare with her handwriting was the seven-year-old Wei Yilin.
In the evening, after having another dinner together, Wei Ruocai, with Xiumei's support, jumped up and down to listen to Songyuan again.
After Wei Ruo left, Wei Jin also wrote a letter and gave it to Xiaobei to send out of the house.
When he came back, Xiaobei brought a reply, saying that they would definitely handle what the young master told him.

After passing Mangzhong, the temperature picked up, but it was still a little lower than in previous years.
Some veteran farmers are already worried about this year's harvest. If this situation continues, this year's harvest will still not be better, and may even be worse than the past two years.
After a few days of training, Wei Ruo's body completely recovered, so he went to the wasteland south of the city again.
The land she selected for the experiment has been weeded, and the first batch of furfural residue and humus that have undergone sealed fermentation and hydrolysis have been placed.
These things are acidic and can well neutralize the alkalinity of saline-alkali soil, making the soil suitable for growing ordinary crops.
Wei Ruo arranged for Chang Gong to carry out the second humus landfill today.
The two long-term workers and Grandma Zhang didn't quite understand Wei Ruo's arrangements, but the work was completed well.
Today, Wei Ruo wanted to go to the fields and work by herself for a while, but Granny Zhang persuaded her to stay in the carriage. If there was anything to do, just give them instructions.
Wei Ruo had no choice but to lean inside the carriage and arrange and direct the work of the two long-term workers and Aunt Zhang.
At noon, Wei Ruo sat under the camphor tree next to the experimental field to rest, with Xiumei on her left and Grandma Zhang on her right. The two long-term workers were by the river farther away.
Xiumei took out the lunch she had prepared before going out: braised pork rice bowl with a pile of boiled cabbage.
Wei Ruo also prepared the same lunch for Granny Zhang and the two long-term workers who were traveling with her, and packed each portion in a separate food box.
Xiumei gave a food box to Nanny Zhang, then walked to the river and gave the other two to Agui and Xiaoba.
Grandma Zhang and the two long-term workers were stunned when they got the food box.
The eldest lady actually prepared one for all the servants like them!
"Don't just look at it, eat quickly. It's already here. If you don't have a full meal, you won't have the strength to work." Wei Ruo said to the three of them.
The three of them came back to their senses, quickly put down the steamed buns they had brought, and opened the food box given by Wei Ruo.
There is meat! Big chunks of meat!
The eyes of Granny Zhang and the two long-term workers shone with excitement.
