Chapter 204 Only the lady’s room has charcoal burning
"I'll go and bring the silver bone charcoal to the lady!" Xu Zhushan was a man of action, so he turned around and went into the house and brought out two sacks of silver bone charcoal.
He carried a bag on one shoulder without any effort.
Nurse pushed out the small trolley, put two bags of silver bone charcoal on the small trolley, tied it with a rope, and handed it to Wei Ruo.
Coming out of Sibaozhai, Wei Ruo said to Wei Jin, "Second Brother, now that you know my secret, you will keep it a secret for me, right?"
"You didn't avoid me and brought me here, doesn't that mean you already have the answer in your heart?"
Wei Jin was also happy, glad that she was willing to let him know her secret.
Wei Ruoxiao: "Second brother also knows that I will keep it a secret for him?"
Wei Jin also said: "Then we are even now."
"Yes." Wei Ruo smiled.
Then, the two walked back.
Xiaobei and Xiumei pushed the cart together, because the road was slippery, Xiumei slipped halfway, she didn't fall, but she leaned on Xiaobei's body.
Xiaobei blushed involuntarily, and looked at Xiumei with fiery eyes.
After returning to Xiaowei's Mansion, Wei Ruo gave Wei Jinyi a bag of the two bags of charcoal he had brought back.
"The share given to each courtyard by the government should not be enough to last through this winter, these second elder brothers will take it and use it first." Wei Ruo said to Wei Jinyi.
"No, I wasn't at the house some time ago, and I still have a lot more shares, so I can use it for a while longer." Wei Jin also declined.
Wei Ruo didn't know that this was Wei Jinyi's polite remark to himself.
When Wei Yichen and Wei Jinyi spent less time in the mansion when giving shares to each courtyard, the mansion also took into account the amount of charcoal allocated to Yingzhuyuan.
"Second brother, don't be polite to me. I moved these two bags today to count as the second brother's share. Don't worry, second brother. My nanny has prepared a lot for me. I can go there to pick it up anytime I want. There is no need to pick it up." Worrying is not enough."
Wei Jin couldn't resist his kindness, seeing Wei Ruo's smiling face, he nodded and accepted.
After returning to Tingsongyuan, Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to listen to him: "If someone asks where this charcoal comes from, just tell him like this..."
Xiumei asked after listening, "Why did Miss say that?"
Wei Ruo explained: "Now the charcoal in the mansion is almost gone. Only my yard has charcoal burning. If someone sees it, it may cause trouble. If people know the source of my charcoal, it will inevitably cause some trouble."
"I see." Xiumei wrote down Wei Ruo's words.

After Wei Jinyi returned to the house, Xiaobei started a charcoal fire.
"Master, this is really silver bone charcoal. Missy is too rich, and this kind of charcoal fire can only be burned in the homes of high officials and nobles in Fucheng." Xiaobei couldn't help expressing emotion.
Then Xiaobei couldn't help being curious: "Master, what do you think is the relationship between the two shops we went to today and the eldest lady? The Sibaozhai is not opened by the eldest lady, right?"
When she came out of Sibaozhai today, Wei Ruo told Wei Jin that she wanted to keep it a secret, but she didn't say anything about the details, nor did she elaborate on her relationship with the two shops.
Wei Jin didn't pursue this question either, but gave Wei Ruo an affirmative answer naturally.
"It doesn't matter what the relationship is, and she didn't ask me about it."
For Wei Jinyi, these things are not important, what matters is their trust.
As long as you trust each other, it doesn't matter what kind of secret the other party has.
It has been two days, because the road was blocked by heavy snow, and the charcoal fire from Wei's family has not been delivered for a long time.
Not only are the servants useless, but the charcoal fire in the master's room is also broken.
Without a charcoal fire to keep warm, Wei Qingwan's room was as cold as an ice cellar, and it was colder inside than outside.
I can move more during the day, but at night it is difficult to fall asleep. The quilt covering my body is like a piece of cast iron, hard, cold and damp.
"How do you sleep well?" Wei Qingwan just lay down and got up again.
"Miss, don't be in a hurry. If you hurry up, the charcoal fire will be delivered tomorrow morning. Now the wife and master in the mansion are like this, so I can only endure it." Cui He comforted.
"That's what I said yesterday, but didn't you wait today?" Wei Qingwan's tone was full of resentment.
"This..." Cui He didn't know how to comfort her.
"Where is Wei Qingruo?" Wei Qingwan asked.
"Missy's side...it doesn't seem to be affected. I heard from the maid who delivered the meal that the room of the eldest lady is very warm."
Due to the inconvenient snow these few days, Yun asked the big kitchen to be ready and delivered to the yards.
It is precisely because of this that the servants in the mansion discovered that Wei Ruo's residence is different from other places, and she seems to have no shortage of charcoal fire that other people in the mansion don't use.
"Why?" Wei Qingwan looked surprised.
"I don't know about this servant, maybe the young miss bought it with money from her own private treasury. After all, the young lady's private treasury..." Cui He stopped.
Everyone in Xiaowei's mansion knows about Wei Ruo's wealth.
"Isn't it true that even if you have money, you can't buy charcoal?" Wei Qingwan asked again.
"I don't know, I don't know, maybe the eldest lady has a special channel, and now the eldest lady knows a lot of people in Fucheng!" Cui He said.
When she knew Mrs. Yuan before, Wei Ruo could have a lot more privileges than other people in the mansion.
Now because of a loquat paste, she has met many powerful people in Fucheng.
It is entirely possible to say that he has more connections than other people in the mansion.
Hearing that Wei Qingwan was concerned, she thought for a while and said to Cui He: "Go and call your old lady over."
Cui He nodded, and then called Nanny Li over.
Wei Qingwan didn't say much, just recounted the things that Cui He and her just said.
After hearing this, Nanny Li immediately understood: "Miss, this is not kind, since there are channels to get charcoal fire, how can one enjoy it alone, let other people in the house suffer from the cold, let alone the others, Madam is her mother, How can you not care about your mother's well-being or even life and death?"
Wei Qingwan said: "Maybe we misunderstood my sister, and things are not what we thought."
Nanny Li snorted softly: "Misunderstanding, no mistake, I will only know after asking. I don't think there is a big misunderstanding here. To put it bluntly, what she did is outrageous. Miss, wait, I'll talk to Madam right now .”
Nanny Li left after speaking, not giving Wei Qingwan a chance to stop her.
By the time Wei Qingwan called out to her, she had already walked out of the room.

"What you said is true?" Yun frowned.
"How dare the old slave lie about this matter, if it is true or false, it will be revealed at once."
"If you let me know that you lied and wronged the eldest lady, this time it will not be as simple as punishing you to go to Zhuangzi for three months! You will be kicked out of the mansion, and your old bone will die in the ice and snow outside!" Yun Shi Said with a stern expression.
