Chapter 225: Invited for an outing.
However, because of the announcement from the government office, everyone in the city knew that the credit for the work of the Principal's Office was earned by Wei Qingruo, the eldest daughter of the Wei family.
Because of this, the name of the eldest daughter of the Wei family became famous in the aristocratic circle of Taizhou Prefecture.
There is no problem coordinating the epidemic prevention and control of the entire Taizhou Prefecture, so wouldn't it be a problem for the housekeeper? When a large family chooses a daughter-in-law, it depends on their character as well as their ability as a housekeeper.
What's more, the eldest daughter of the Wei family slapped Princess Jingmin in front of her, so wouldn't it be more honorable to marry her home?
It just so happens that the eldest daughter is now fourteen, so she can start talking about kissing her.
So just after this year, Yun received invitations from many ladies.
Yunshi was happy in her heart. They had just arrived in Fucheng not long ago. They were originally worried about how to gain a foothold, but now it seems that they don't need to worry about it.
Mrs. Yun knew that she should also worry about the marriage of her two daughters.
Although according to the husband's wishes, the daughter can get married later, and it is not too late to wait until 17 or 18, the marriage can be taken care of now.
It’s okay to get married later, but if you haven’t decided on a suitable family until you are 17 or 18 years old, then the parents should really be anxious. People outside will also gossip, and those who don’t know think they are girls from the Wei family. Is there something unspeakable?
So Yun called Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan to her side and asked them to get ready and travel with her tomorrow.
"But the outing hosted by Mrs. Tongzhi?" Wei Qingwan asked.
She went to school with the prefect, so naturally she had heard some news about this matter.
"Yes, it is said to be an outing, but also to show sympathy for the farmers. In the past two years, the harvest has been poor, the court is concerned, and the prefect is worried. Mrs. Xu means to take all the ladies and ladies to go outing, see the people's farming, and experience the farmers' It’s not easy.” Yunshi explained.
The imperial court values agriculture, so the people below must follow this trend and do some things that value agriculture and respect farmers.
Wei Qingwan nodded: "Don't worry, mother, my daughter will be well prepared."
Wei Ruo remained silent.
Mrs. Yun looked at Wei Ruo and said, "Remember to wear the spring clothes I made for you during the Chinese New Year last year tomorrow. Don't wear old clothes anymore." In the past few days,
Wei Ruo often went out wearing plain linen clothes. Fortunately, he mostly traveled by carriage. It was Tianqin Garden again, so Yun didn't say anything.
But tomorrow I will be with the ladies of various families. If I dress like this again, I will lose the face of the captain's mansion.
"I know."
Wei Ruo likes to wear plain linen clothes these days because she goes to the fields when she has time these days.
She set aside a piece of the field on Zhuangzi and planted it herself, in order to accumulate her space experience points faster.
Then Mrs. Yun gave Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan a few words, hoping that they could do as well as possible from their clothing and accessories to their words and deeds.
After a while, Yun felt that everything had been explained clearly before letting Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan go back.
###
Early the next morning, Wei Ruo put on new clothes made at the end of last year, a light green skirt.
Because it was still a little cold in the morning and evening these days, Xiumei took a thinner cloak and put it on Wei Ruo.
The cloak I wore in winter was made of fox fur, but now it was made of satin material sewn with a thin layer of cotton. It was just right to wear at this time.
When they came to the door, Yun and Wei Qingwan had also arrived. The three of them got into the carriage together and headed to the prefecture.
Today, everyone's destination is not Tongzhifu, but Tongzhifu is the place where everyone gathers.
After waiting for a while at the gate of Tongzhifu, other people's carriages also arrived, and then they left the city together. When they arrived at the place, everyone got off the car and walked.
The place Mrs. Tongzhi chose was Beishan Village in the south of the city. The village was surrounded by farmland. It was the busy farming season, and a large number of farmers, women and children, were busy in the fields.
The scenery along the way is beautiful and full of greenery.
After Wei Ruo got off the carriage, Mrs. Tongzhi took the initiative to come up and greet her: "Is this the eldest lady of the Wei family? I have heard of the eldest lady's reputation more than once before, but I have never had the chance to meet her. Wait. When we meet today, we should know that it is better to meet in person than to be famous. The real person is even more beautiful than they say!"
Mrs. Tongzhi looked at Wei Ruo with a smile on her face.
Wei Ruo responded with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Tongzhi said to Wei Ruo enthusiastically: "Speaking of which, I really want to thank the eldest lady of the Wei family. Thanks to your loquat ointment, my father-in-law's old illness has been improved, and now it is more than half better." My whole body is full of energy!"
Mrs. Xu, who bought loquat ointment from Wei Ruo before, is Mrs. Tongzhi's mother-in-law. The one who got sick and took the medicine was her father-in-law. As a daughter-in-law, she took the opportunity to take good care of herself. Thank you Wei Ruo.
"Mrs. Xu, you don't have to be polite." Wei Ruo replied, modestly and politely, neither appearing enthusiastic nor overly distant.
Mrs. Xu started, and several other ladies also came up and greeted Wei Ruo.
These ladies are all of high status, but they are all willing to condescend to talk to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo was a little uncomfortable with everyone's enthusiasm. She just wanted to come here to cheer up. Just like before, she wanted to be a little transparent at the party and didn't want to have any sense of presence. Who would have thought that today's situation was different from before. The enthusiasm of the ladies made it impossible for her to be transparent even if she wanted to.
Yun didn't expect that her eldest daughter would be so popular.
Wei Qingwan's expression on the side was a little unhinged, and the others gave it up, including Mrs. Zhixu and Mrs. Qiu.
She attended classes at Tongzhifu and met the daughter of the Tongzhi family and the daughter of the Qiu family. She also met these two ladies several times.
However, the two of them only focused on talking to Wei Qingruo and completely ignored themselves. This kind of differential treatment deeply hurt Wei Qingwan's heart.
After a while, the crowd surrounding Wei Ruo dispersed, and then Mrs. Tongzhi explained today's itinerary to everyone. After listening, everyone nodded in agreement.
So everyone started outing activities.
Xu Yaojun, the daughter of Mrs. Tongzhi, specially found Wei Qingwan and walked side by side with Wei Qingwan.
"Wei Qingwan, Sister You is much better than you. Look how much my mother and the others like her!" Xu Yaojun said with a smirk.
Hearing this, Wei Qingwan lowered her head and pretended not to hear Xu Yaojun's voice.
Xu Yaojun continued: "You may not know that my mother was very fond of your sister before she met her and wanted her to be my eldest brother's wife."
Wei Qingwan was stunned and paused.
Seeing Wei Qingwan's reaction, Xu Yaojun couldn't help but laugh.
Wei Qingwan pursed her lips and said, "Why are you telling me this?"
Xu Yaojun said, "It's nothing, I just want to tell you that you are not as outstanding as you think. You don't have to act like a noble and talented woman all day long. I think I'm not used to it!"
