Chapter 59: Humiliating oneself
"Huh? Brother, what is he doing here? Isn't he preparing for the imperial examination? Isn't he supposed to be too busy attending classes in the academy in the capital?" Xie Ying asked.
"My mother is not very clear about this matter. Anyway, your grandfather and your father agreed, so they must have something serious to do before coming here." "Oh, okay. Forget about that, I will go to
Wei Qingruo first and tell her that my mother agreed. We have a medicine field, I want to start it immediately!"
Xie Ying ran back to the school in a hurry, found Wei Ruo, and told her the news.
"Wei Qingruo, my mother has agreed, when can we start having sex?" Xie Ying was eager to give it a try.
"It'll be done right away." Wei Ruo likes this style of doing things right away without procrastination.
"Then tell me quickly, what we are going to do now, how to arrange the work, what things need to be purchased, and how many manpower are needed." Xie Ying sat down next to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo took out a pen and paper and explained to Xie Ying while marking the key points on the paper.
Xie Ying listened very carefully and pointed out anything she didn't understand, looking serious and eager to learn.
After finishing it, I took the paper written by Wei Ruo to Mrs. Xie to borrow someone, and officially started work, which was extremely efficient.
###
Chu Lan was also very efficient. After only two days, he sent a nanny to the school captain's house to discuss matters in the south of the city with Wei Ruo.
For this reason, Wei Ruo specially asked for leave from Mr. Wang and stayed at home to arrange various things.
Mr. Wang had no objection to this and told Wei Ruo that what she was doing now was also part of her studies.
Yun was shocked when she saw the nanny sent by Chu Lan. She intuitively knew that the other person's background was not even the slightest bit different from that of her own nanny.
In addition, her husband reminded her last night that the nobleman had an unusual status and asked her to be careful.
After the Yun family heard that the other party's surname was Chu, they already knew a thing or two. They couldn't afford to offend anyone in the royal family, even if they were from an unfavored prince's family.
Mrs. Yun respectfully led the nanny sent by Chu Lan to Tingsongyuan, then gave Wei Ruo a few words and walked away in time, so as not to delay Wei Ruo and her nanny talking about business.
"I have met Miss Wei." Nanny Qin bowed to Wei Ruo with a respectful attitude, but her demeanor remained intact and she looked particularly majestic.
Wei Ruo knew in his heart that most of the nuns sent by Chu Lan came from the palace, so they were naturally different from the nuns from ordinary families.
Although Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion is an Earl's Mansion, even in its heyday it could not compare with the rules of the palace, not to mention that it had already fallen into decline.
"No need to be polite." Wei Ruodao, "Young master of the Yi family sent you here to help me. Please don't pay too much attention to the other rules. Just convey my meaning and let the people below complete the task well.
"Miss Wei, please rest assured. The master has already told me that I will do my best to assist Miss Wei. If Miss Wei needs anything that I need to do, as long as it is related to the reclamation of wasteland in the south of the city, I will do it. " You can tell me to the old slave, and the old slave will arrange for someone to complete it."
Although Nanny Qin has very strict rules, she has no airs about Wei Ruo and does not find fault with Wei Ruo. She knows exactly what she is doing. Yes, her master thinks highly of people, so she will not find fault with her rules.
Nanny Qin was talking to Wei Ruo when Wei Qingwan suddenly entered Tingsong Garden.
"Sister." Wei Qingwan came to Wei Ruo and called sweetly. Wei Ruo looked at Wei Qingwan with a sharp gaze.
As the saying goes, no one should go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Wei Qingwan has never been to Tingsongyuan since the incident with the Xie family's study. What kind of wind blew her here today?
"Sister, I brought some osmanthus cakes for you." Wei Qingwan held an exquisite food box in her hand. When she opened it, it was her specialty cake, osmanthus cakes.
"Wait a moment. I'll talk to you after I finish talking to Nanny Qin."
Wei Ruo didn't know what song Wei Qingwan was singing. She didn't want to talk to Wei Qingwan anymore for fear of what Wei Qingwan would say after a few words. If something offends her, she can't help but start a fight in front of outsiders.
Wei Qingwan nodded slightly, but did not leave, only waiting by the side.
At this time, Nanny Qin spoke. She looked at Wei Qingwan: "Is this the second young lady in the house?"
Seeing Nanny Qin looking at herself, Wei Qingwan looked shy, lowered her head slightly, and replied softly: "Yes. "Yes."
Unexpectedly, Nanny Qin then said: "Second Miss, please step aside. The Eldest Miss and I have serious matters to discuss, and it is not convenient for outsiders to listen in."
Wei Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly changed her words: "That's it, Then I'm really unlucky to be here, so I'll go aside and wait for my sister first." "It's
really an unlucky time for the second young lady to come. I think I should have known about my coming to the mansion today. I don't know why the second young lady didn't come early and late. , I chose to come at this time." Nanny Qin's words were not tactful at all.
What Nanny Qin said was exactly what Wei Ruo was thinking. Wei Qingwan's behavior today was really strange. Because of Chu Lan's special status, he sent a nanny to his side. Everyone in the school captain's house treated him seriously. Yun had already explained it long ago. People in the family should be careful. Even Yingzhuyuan has received the news, and it is impossible for Wei Qingwan not to know about it.
Wei Qingwan knew clearly, but she chose this time to see Wei Ruo. Wei Ruo didn't believe her if she had no other motives.
But if she had other thoughts, that would be a bit stupid.
It is true that Nanny Qin is the person next to Chu Lan, but no matter what, she is just a nanny. Could it be that she thought that if she behaved better in front of Nanny, she would say a few nice words to Chu Lan when she went back? Does she think she is a matchmaker?
This would be okay if it were the three aunts and six women in the village, but Nanny Qin is a nun from the palace.
The royal aunt is very well-behaved, how could she do such an inexplicable thing.
Wei Ruo remembered that although Wei Qingwan in the original work was beautiful and weak, she was not stupid. Could it be that without her as a supporting role or that she failed to fall in love with Chu Lan as planned, her brain was not functioning well?
I have only heard that falling in love can make people blind, but I have never heard that not falling in love can also make people blind.
After hearing what Nanny Qin said, Wei Qingwan's face turned pale and she hurriedly explained: "Nanny, don't be angry. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on my sister's speech. I didn't know that the conversation between Nanny and my sister should not be known to outsiders. I I was just worried that my sister would not treat me well, so I brought some pastries I made here to have a look." "With all due respect,
the eldest lady is the second lady's sister. The second lady told me, an outsider, that I was worried that the eldest lady would not treat me well. , What do you want to tell others?"
Aunt Qin is worthy of being a member of the palace. She has a delicate and clear mind. She can sense the hidden meanings in Wei Qingwan's words as soon as she hears them.
Wei Qingwan was immediately ashamed and angry, and hurriedly explained: "Mom, you misunderstood. I didn't mean anything else. It was my choice of words that caused the misunderstanding."
Xiumei in the corner: This mama is a bit handsome.
