Chapter 61 That's it.
"Then I'll go ask my young master."
Xiaobei hurried back and returned to Yingzhu Garden to find Wei Jinyi.
After hearing what Xiaobei said, Wei Jin also said: "You can treat her to the cooked pheasant and hare as compensation for her snacks."
So Xiaobei ran to Tingsongyuan to report.
"Okay, then I'll go with you." Xiumei agreed immediately.
He took a bag of things and walked to Yingzhuyuan.
Xiaobei wondered: "Miss Xiumei, don't you have to ask your lady again? What if Miss Yin doesn't like to eat game?"
Xiumei glanced at the dull Xiaobei and said with a smile: "Don't worry , my young lady will definitely like it."
Xiumei went to the small kitchen of Yingzhuyuan and started to work.
The rabbit meat is braised in braised sauce. In order to cater to Wei Jinyi's taste, there are no spicy ingredients. Otherwise, according to her daughter's taste, it would have to be spicy no matter what.
The pheasant made soup with some nourishing astragalus and wolfberry in it.
In addition, I fried a sweet potato leaf and a pumpkin tip. The sweet potato leaves were delivered by the nanny, and the pumpkin tips were picked fresh in Wei Ruo's yard.
Four side dishes, some meat and vegetables, some vegetable and some soup.
When Xiaobei brought the dishes to the table, Xiumei went next door to invite Wei Ruo.
After Xiaobei put the four dishes on the table, he sighed with Wei Jin: "Master, the eldest lady is so kind. We asked them to help us prepare game. They also provided us with the dishes and ingredients, and the four colors were delicious. All kinds of dishes are coming out."
"Yes." Wei Jin also said.
"It would be great if the eldest lady could come to dine with us more often in the future." Xiaobei said to himself.
He also knew that this was impossible. The master and his wife must have asked the eldest lady to go to the dining room to share it with everyone.
While talking, Wei Ruo came and walked into the pavilion with a smile.
Wei Jin had already placed a stool for her. After Wei Ruo sat down, his eyes glanced at the three dishes and one soup on the table, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise.
Her dear rabbit meat has not been eaten for a long time!
Wei Jin also noticed Wei Ruo's excited expression, and couldn't help but have a faint smile on his lips. He took the initiative to put the rabbit legs into Wei Ruo's bowl.
"It was me who made you unable to eat snacks, so this rabbit meat should be considered as an apology." Wei Jin also said.
"Then I'm not polite." Wei Ruo raised his face, smiled at Wei Jin, and then picked up the chopsticks in front of him without any politeness at all.
In fact, the two of them knew very well that one wanted to find the other party to eat pheasants and hares, specially prepared game, and the other wanted to have a meal with the excuse that they needed to compensate for the loss of a snack.
Only Xiaobei was stupid and didn't know.
After having a hearty meal, Wei Ruo sat on a wicker chair to rest.
"Second brother, when did you get a wicker chair here? I've never seen it before." Wei Ruo asked.
"I recently bought a new one. I bought it because it looked good." Wei Jin also replied.
"It's good. When you get tired from reading, you can lie down and take a rest."
"Yeah." Wei Jin also agreed. Looking at Wei Ruo swaying lazily on the wicker chair, she knew that the wicker The chair was added correctly.
"How have you been studying at Xie's house these days?" Wei Jin also asked.
"It's good. The female teacher you found is really good. I thought I wouldn't be able to listen, but her teaching is very interesting. I learned some incense-making skills from her, which is similar to how I make medicine."
"That's good." Wei Jin also responded, his face expressionless as always. "What about you, have you felt better in the past few days?" Wei Ruo asked casually.
"Well, your medicine is very useful. I feel a lot better." Wei Jin also said.
"That's good." Wei Ruo replied in exactly the same tone as Wei Jinyi.
Then he lay down on the wicker chair, enjoying himself.
Most of the time the two of them got along quietly, Wei Jinyi didn't talk much, Wei Ruo would sometimes say a few words to him, and sometimes he wouldn't say anything and just stay quietly and relax.
###
After working hard for a few days, Wei Ruo finally successfully handed over most of the current work in the wasteland south of the city.
Having some free time today, Wei Ruo planned to tidy up all the loofahs, pumpkins and gourds in the yard, otherwise he would not have much time after going to Xie's house again tomorrow.
While tinkering in the yard, Xiumei hurried in.
"Miss, Miss, Miss..."
"Meimei, what's wrong with you?"
"That...that..." After Xiumei made sure there was no one else in Songyuan, she said to Wei Ruo, "Miss, Brother Xiaoyong and Xu The uncle and nanny got into a quarrel, and it was very loud!"
"What's going on?"
"It seems that Brother Xiaoyong is going to join the army! Aren't there a lot of recruitment notices posted in the county these days? And because of the special situation, recruitment The age dropped from fifteen to fourteen. Brother Xiaoyong was just satisfied, and then he said he also wanted to fight Japanese pirates!" "Where
are the others now?" Wei Ruo asked hurriedly.
"Uncle Xu tied him up at home! Uncle Xu didn't have any objections, but the wet nurse didn't agree. When the wet nurse cried, Uncle Xu tied up Brother Xiao Yong!" "Let's go, call Aunt Zhang up." Wei
Ruo Immediately decided to go out.
Now that she has an excuse to be in the south of the city, she can go out almost anytime she wants, but she needs to take Nanny Zhang with her.
Although Nanny Zhang didn't think highly of Wei Ruo at first and thought Wei Ruo was a bit shabby, after getting along with Wei Ruo during this period, her attitude towards Wei Ruo has changed a lot and she recognized Wei Ruo's After gaining the ability, she began to obey Wei Ruo sincerely.
Wei Ruo came up suddenly, and Granny Zhang didn't think there was any problem. Without saying a word, she prepared the carriage and took Wei Ruo out.
Not long after the carriage left, Wei Ruo asked the carriage to go to the street. After parking the carriage at the street entrance, Wei Ruo told Granny Zhang to go to Sibozhai to buy some pens, inks, paper and inkstones.
Now that Wei Ruo is studying, it is normal to buy pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Neither Aunt Zhang nor the driver who is traveling with her thinks this is any surprise.
Wei Ruo put on the curtain hat and got out of the car. When Wei Ruo entered the shop, he did not look at any of the products in the shop, but went directly into the backyard through the door of the shop.
In the yard, Xu Zhengyong was sitting on the ground, his whole body tied up with his hands behind his back.
His expression was stubborn: "Dad, good men are ambitious in all directions. Now foreign enemies are attacking and the people are suffering. As a man, I should fight on the front line!"
Xu Zhushan retorted: "I don't care about you, you have made your mother sad. It just can’t be done!”
It’s not that Xu Zhushan disagrees with his son joining the army, it’s just that his wife is uncomfortable.
"Dad, my mother thinks like a woman, you are a man, you should understand my thoughts!" Xu Zhengyong retorted.
"It's no use! If you want to go, you must first find a way to stop your mother from worrying about you!" Xu Zhushan's attitude was firm and there was no room for negotiation.
The father and son were arguing when Wei Ruo came in.
Seeing Wei Ruo, Xu Zhengyong's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a savior: "Sister Ruo'er!"
