"Yichen, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to concentrate on your studies and not worry about the affairs of the house?"
Seeing Wei Yichen, Mr. Wei's face was filled with concern and love.
The National Examination is coming soon, and nothing is more important than Wei Yichen taking the exam. Even Wei Ruo's divorce was not as important as Wei Yichen's imperial examination in the eyes of Mr. Wei.
"Grandpa, Ruo'er is my only biological sister. I only have this sister, and my parents only have this daughter. Within the bounds of reason, I don't want anyone to force her to do something she doesn't like." Wei Yichen's
expression Serious, serious tone, every word speaks loudly.
Everyone looked surprised again.
"The only sister" directly excludes Wei Qingwan!
And he actually talked to Mr. Wei like this for this reason!
Wei Ruo was equally surprised and surprised.
Wei Yichen had also spoken for himself before, but that was because he hated Wei Qingwan himself, and helping her was equivalent to helping himself.
But this time was different. This time the matter had nothing to do with Wei Qingwan, but he chose to stand up and speak for himself.
"Yichen, it's just two jars of wine, it's not a big deal. No one in this family wants to bully your sister." Mr. Wei said solemnly.
Even his most valued grandson made him a little unhappy when he spoke like this.
"Grandpa, since it's just two jars of wine, don't hurt the harmony of the family because of it." Wei Yichen said.
Then Wei Yichen turned around and asked Bai: "Second Aunt, what is the probability that Second Uncle will be able to see Mr. Qi in person?"
Bai's face stiffened: "This... although this may not be able to meet Mr. Qi in person, but We can send the gift to his house."
Wei Yichen asked again: "What is the name of the gift?"
Bai's expression flashed: "This... I haven't thought about it yet..."
Wei Yichen asked again: "How confident are the second uncle and the second aunt that Mr. Qi will like this gift? Even if Mr. Qi likes it, how likely is it that the Wei family will think highly of the second uncle?
" She looked anxious and didn't know how to answer the call, because she also knew that the probability of this happening was not high.
Wei Yichen turned back to Mr. Wei and said, "Grandpa, what the second aunt said is only a very small probability. And although our Wei family has lost its glory, we still have the title. There is no need to hide like this unless it is absolutely necessary." Being humble and trying to please others everywhere will not only fail to gain any benefits for the Wei family, but will also disgrace the Wei family and make outsiders look down upon my Wei family even more." Wei Yichen's words made Old Mrs. Wei's expression change
. The wrinkled face had a more dignified look.
Bai was a little unwilling. She retorted to Wei Yichen: "Although the chance is very low, it is just two jars of wine. It is best if it works. If it is useless, the loss is not big. Why not give it a try?" Wei Yichen replied:
" As far as I know, the price of a jar of thyme outside has been raised to 300 taels of silver, and the price of two jars of thyme is 600 taels of silver. Second aunt thinks this is a small amount of money? Or is it because the 600 taels belong to my sister? , you think it doesn't matter?"
Bai was usually eloquent, but now he was blocked by Wei Yichen and had nothing to say.
At this time, Mrs. Wei opened her mouth to smooth things over: "That's all, it's not a big deal. It's really inappropriate to make a fuss over such a trivial matter. Since these two jars of wine are Ruo'er's personal belongings, how can we parents be so tough?" What's the truth?"
Mrs. Wei then criticized Mrs. Bai: "Second daughter-in-law, you are really serious. It's a good idea for you to think about doing something for the Wei family, but as an aunt, how can you So you can take care of your niece's begging for things? If you really think about the Wei family, you should find a way to get things done yourself, and it's better to do less to show generosity to others. "
Then Mrs. Wei said to Wei Yichen: "Yichen, it's not long before the exam. Just focus on your studies with peace of mind. Don't worry too much about other things. There is a grandmother in this house." Grandma won't let anyone bully Ruo'er." Mrs. Wei's words had made her position clear and made a promise to Wei Yichen.
"Thank you, grandma." Wei Yichen said.
"Mother..." Bai was unwilling to give in and tried to say something else.
"Okay, okay, let's all go back." Mrs. Wei interrupted Bai, "We two old guys are a little tired."
Bai's full of grievances were stuffed back.
"Daughter-in-law, please leave." Ms. Bai withdrew reluctantly.
"Grandson, please leave."
Wei Yichen and Wei Ruo left Shou'antang together.
Walking to the door, Wei Ruo wanted to ask Wei Yichen why he wanted to help him.
"You..."
Wei Ruogang opened his mouth. Wei Yichen did not stop when he heard the voice, but walked away quickly.
After Wei Ruo and others left, Mr. Wei said to Mrs. Wei unhappily: "How come even this child Yichen has changed his appearance now? He actually contradicts us!" "Master, please relax, Yichen
. The child has always loved his sister. If Ruo'er is his only biological sister and has suffered a lot outside, what's wrong with him protecting her? Have you forgotten that Yichen also loved and cared for Wanwan very much in the past?" Mr. Wei The person advised.
"That's all, as long as he takes the imperial examination well, everything else is trivial." Old Mrs. Wei said.
###
I don’t know if Wei Yichen’s speech in Shou’an Hall that day had an effect. In the next ten days, Wei Ruo lived happily in Uncle Zhongyi’s Mansion.
The Bai family did not trouble Wei Ruo again, and the Yun family and Wei Qingwan had no time to find Wei Ruo because they were busy with their marriage.
So Wei Ruo can focus on her own affairs. Although she is not as free as she was in Taizhou Prefecture and has little opportunity to go out, fortunately, Xiumei can help her bring the news outside so that her plans can go smoothly. conduct.
Inside the house, Xiumei is waiting for Wei Ruo to write down the next arrangements, and then she will take Wei Ruo's letter out of the house and give it to the Zhao brothers.
"Miss, do you still plan to ask Mr. Zhao to propose marriage again?" Xiumei asked.
"Yes. But let's take it easy in advance. He will take the exam on the ninth day of the lunar month next month. It's better not to disturb him at this time and let him prepare for the exam. He is already weak and taking the imperial examination is a very strenuous matter. Don't let other things disturb him at this time." Wei Ruodao.
"I really hope things can come to a conclusion soon. This Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion is even more boring than the Wei family in Taizhou Mansion. There are too many rules." Xiumei muttered.
Although Wei Ruo and Xiumei have tried not to interact with other people, since the Xuanping Hou Mansion broke off their engagement, Wei Ruo and Xiumei have been looked down upon in the mansion, and even Wei Ruo's food and clothing expenses have been deducted. Quite a few.
The master and servant were talking when suddenly a maid hurried to the door of Wei Ruo's room.
"Miss, please dress up quickly and go to the front hall! The imperial edict has arrived!"
