Chapter 167 Dividing the Yard
Mr. Yun has already allocated the yard. Except for the main house, the other courtyards in the backyard are divided into east and west parts by a wall, separated by a small door in the middle of the wall.
In the mansion, men and women live on the east and west sides respectively, the female family members live on the west side of the fence, and the male family members live on the east side of the fence wall, which is more in line with the norms of large families.
Now that the husband has been promoted and moved to Fucheng, the rules that should be established should be established.
In the future, it is inevitable that some wives and ladies will be invited to the mansion as guests. Only when the rules are done well will people not be criticized.
The largest and most spacious room on the east side was given to Wei Yichen, and the largest and most spacious room on the west side was given to Wei Ruo. They are the eldest son and eldest daughter, and should have higher treatment than other children.
Then there is the courtyard of Wei Yilin and Wei Qingwan.
As for the residence of the only concubine, Wei Jinyi, Yun didn't dare to make up her own mind. She didn't expect to be accused of mistreating the concubine after a busy day, so she asked Wei Mingting for instructions.
Wei Mingting looked at the drawings of the house, pointed to a room on the east side of the wall and said, "Let's just take this one."
Wei Mingting didn't choose the largest courtyard for Wei Jinyi either, it shouldn't be better for a concubine to live than a legitimate son.
The first room on the west side of the wall is the one Yun arranged for Wei Ruo.
Although this distribution is unintentional, Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi's residences are next to each other again, but there are two more walls than before.
Yun's agreed: "Okay, then this one will be given to Jinyi, and the names of the various courtyards will follow the previous ones, without any other changes."
Wei Mingting nodded: "It's fine for these ladies to make the decision."
Having received her husband's approval, Yun looked at the arrangement on the drawing and felt very satisfied.
The only fly in the ointment is that Wanwan was assigned to the most southwest corner.
She didn't deliberately arrange it this way, but there are only three yards in total on the west side. Except for the largest one where the eldest daughter lives, the remaining two are not very good. The lower one is even smaller.
After entering the courtyard, Wei Qingwan realized that the courtyard she was assigned to was actually the worst in the entire mansion, located in the southwest corner of the new school's Wei's Mansion.
The huge gap made Wei Qingwan feel great pain in her heart.
Doesn't such an arrangement mean that I have the last place in my parents' hearts?
In the past, she was the only daughter in the family, and any good parents came close to her. When she first arrived in Xingshan County, she chose a yard, and her mother asked her to choose the yard first.
Wei Qingwan was so sad that she couldn't sleep all night.
###
Wei Ruo didn't have time to pay attention to whether the courtyard he lived in was good or not. It was already late when he first arrived, so Wei Ruo went to bed after tidying up a little.
Waking up early the next morning, she and Xiumei were busy unloading the cartful of things and rearranging them.
Xiumei teased: "Miss, you won't be able to let go of a few more rewards this time."
Wei Ruoxiao: "What do you think this reward is, you can get it if you say it right? Why don't you put your hope on the young lady of the Yi family to make a fortune quickly and become a big landlord!"
Xiumei replied: "My lady will definitely become a big landlord, so there is no need to expect this."
Wei Ruo sighed: "I have to speed up the progress. Father's appreciation is a good thing for the Wei family, but not necessarily a good thing for me. The bigger he is, the more restrictions he will have on me."
"Don't tidy up yet, follow me to Zhuangzi." Wei Ruo said.
Anyway, the big boxes transported by horse-drawn carriage were not valuable items, and Wei Ruo’s valuable parts were all put into the space.
So Wei Ruo is not very worried if they don't clean up for the time being and just pile them up in the courtyard.
"Miss, can we go out like this? Now that we are in Fucheng, will it be more inconvenient to move than before?" Xiumei couldn't help worrying.
"It's okay, I said I'm going to see Mrs. Yuan. I didn't mean that Mr. Wang will go to Mrs. Yuan's to teach after that. It's reasonable to go out to study. I will indeed go to Mrs. Yuan's place after I go to Zhuangzi."
Later, when Wei Ruo went out, he was stopped by servants at the door, and then he went to Yun's place according to the rules. After explaining the reason, Yun agreed to Wei Ruo's going out without thinking too much, but told Wei Ruo that the prefectural city is no better than the county seat, and she wants her Be careful, you must put on your hat when you go in and out of crowded places, keep a distance from strangers, and don't talk to strange men.
After Wei Ruo agreed, Yun let her go.
Go to Zhuangzi, check the condition of the 1,000 mu of fertile land that has been planted with wheat, and then follow up with Manager Yu about the improvement of the purchased fields and the working conditions of the new long-term workers hired.
It is true that occasional disturbances occur, but they are small conflicts and frictions, which are resolved quickly without the need for Manager Yu to intervene.
In today's world, it is the best choice for them to be able to eat enough and have a good life. Most people are grateful, and they will not be opportunistic and sneaky.
After that, Wei Ruo went to the magistrate's mansion. The guards of the magistrate already knew Wei Ruo. When they saw Wei Ruo, they immediately notified him. Then Mrs. Yuan's personal maid Qingyi came to pick Wei Ruo at the door in person.
When we met again, Mrs. Yuan's face was full of joy: "You are a very lucky girl. When you went back last time, I was still thinking about the next time we would meet. That's good, but it's only ten days. Came to Fucheng."
Wei Ruo didn't expect it to be so fast this time. If it wasn't for the urgent matter of fighting against the Japanese, and the court asked her father to go to the post quickly, they wouldn't be in such a hurry to move.
Madam Yuan said again: "It's so good, you come to Fucheng, Brother Sheng and I can see you often, no one else can take care of my body, but you are the most reassuring!"
Mrs. Yuan's spirit is much better than when she reunited with Wei Ruogang. This is all due to the prescription Wei Ruo gave to Mrs. Yuan.
Wei Ruo confessed to Mrs. Yuan about Mr. Wang Caiwei.
"Sorry Madam Yuan, I was in Xingshan County at the time, so I used your name without your consent." Wei Ruo apologized.
"What did I think was the matter? Didn't I just use my name? It's not something important. Why should you apologize to me for this? When I let you live in Tianqin Garden before, didn't I just live with you? I’ve said it before, if you need it, you can find me. If there is such a thing in the future, you can feel free to use the name.” Madam Yuan smiled.
Wei Ruo has a sense of propriety, Madam Yuan still believes in her, knowing that she will not use her name to bluff and deceive her into doing things that go too far.
Such expedient measures are not a big deal, they can be used in any way.
Furthermore, even if Wei Ruohu pretended to be Huwei and used her name to be arrogant in Taizhou Mansion, it would not be a big deal. What happened to her majestic Princess Jingmin, letting her savior Hu pretend to be Huwei?
