Chapter 227 Meeting the students of Anzhou Academy
Listening to everyone praising Wei Ruo one by one, Yun felt honored, and couldn't help being in a good mood.
And Wei Qingwan's complexion was indescribably ugly. They said "Miss Wei" one by one, as if Wei Qingruo was the only "Miss Wei" present.
Wei Ruo who was praised could only smile, and Wei Ruo didn't take these compliments too seriously.
Leaving aside the fact that these people praised her sincerely, she didn't do it for fame when she helped the villagers of Xishan Village.
Several people continued to move forward and came to a courtyard surrounded by fences. This was a place booked in advance by Mrs. Tong Zhi for everyone to rest temporarily and have meals.
She took a group of ladies and ladies out for an outing, and it was impossible to really walk for a day. Everyone is pampered, let alone walking for a day, even an hour is too much to bear.
The courtyard is not small. The front yard is open and surrounded by fences. There are seven or eight houses inside, and a peach blossom is planted beside it. It is not like an ordinary small farmyard, but more like it was specially built by rich people for leisure time. .
Later, Madam Tongzhi’s words also confirmed Wei Ruo’s conjecture.
The courtyard was built ten years ago by the old man of the Xu family, in order to come here in summer for recreation.
In order to welcome all the ladies and ladies, Mrs. Tongzhi had already sent someone to clean it in advance, and left a few people here to serve and prepare tea and cakes for the ladies and ladies invited by her.
There were several Eight Immortals tables in the open air in the courtyard. After entering the courtyard, everyone took their seats under the greeting of Mrs. Tongzhi.
Yun took Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan and sat down in a corner.
Seeing Wei Qingwan's expression was not good, Yun asked concerned: "Is Wanwan feeling unwell? But did she catch a cold?"
"I'm fine, just a little tired." Wei Qingwan replied with an ugly expression.
"That's good, take a rest." Yun's relieved.
Then Yun looked at Wei Ruo, with a look of kindness and pride in his eyes: "Ruo'er did a good job today."
Wei Ruo didn't answer, and looked out of the fence in a daze.
At this time, a sound of horseshoes came from far and near, and a group of young princes from afar passed by on horses.
Wei Ruo saw Wei Yichen in the crowd, and among the others, Lu Yuhong was also a familiar face.
Chu Lan was in Taizhou recently, so it's not very surprising that Lu Yuhong appeared here.
Wei Ruo looked carefully, but there was no figure of Chu Lan in the crowd. Well, the less annoying guys the better.
Yunshi and Wei Qingwan also saw Wei Yichen.
"Mother, that seems to be the eldest brother!" Wei Qingwan was a little excited.
"Well, it's your elder brother." Yun guessed after confirming, "Students from Anzhou Academy should be traveling together."
When Yun and others looked at Wei Yichen, Wei Yichen and his companions also saw the female relatives in the courtyard.
Many of them, like Wei Yichen, have family members in the courtyard.
Several people stopped, because men and women were different, no one approached rashly.
Among them, Xu Fengyuan, the eldest son of Xu Tongzhi's family, said: "It should be my mother who invites all the female relatives here for an outing. I will go over and say hello."
Then, Xu Fengyuan got off his horse and came to the gate of the courtyard.
Mrs. Tongzhi came out from inside, and when she saw her son, her face was full of joy.
"Since you and your classmates pass here, why don't you stay and have a rest, have a sip of tea, and enter a separate yard from the side door, which is separate from the front yard." Tongzhi said.
They are both adult men and women, so they cannot stay together.
"Okay, then I'll ask my classmates what they mean."
After Xu Fengyuan finished speaking, he went back and asked everyone what they meant. They said that they were also a little thirsty and tired, and they just sat down to rest.
Then everyone tied the horse ropes to the open space in front of the courtyard. Under the leadership of Xu's servants, they entered from the side door of the courtyard and went to the small courtyard in the backyard.
After the figures of several people disappeared, Wei Qingwan subconsciously looked at Wei Ruo who was sitting opposite her.
Combined with what Xu Yaojun said just now, it is hard for her not to believe that the chance meeting with Mr. Tong Zhijia and his party was not a deliberate arrangement by Mrs. Tong Zhi.
If this is the case, then wouldn’t Wei Qingruo want to...
Although Yun didn't hear Xu Yaojun's words, he was someone who had been there. Seeing this, he had similar guesses in his heart.
Knowing that it might be a deliberate arrangement, Yun's not only didn't feel displeased, but was happy instead. This young master in Anzhou Academy is very outstanding regardless of his background and knowledge.
It would be great to be able to choose a daughter's future husband from here.
At this time, Xu Yaojun ran to Wei Ruo and the three of them, and invited Wei Qingwan: "Qingwan, let's go over there and have a look together. The peach blossoms are in full bloom, and it's a good time to enjoy the flowers."
Xu Yaojun pointed to the peach blossom forest in the courtyard.
When there were no elders around, Xu Yaojun sneered at Wei Qingwan, but now that there are elders by his side, Xu Yaojun seemed to be on good terms with Wei Qingwan.
Wei Qingwan refused: "It's still not possible, it's rare for me to come out with my mother and sister, so let's talk with my mother and sister."
Xu Yaojun said: "But it's rare to come out to play today, and it's rare for the peach blossoms to bloom so well."
Xu Yaojun had a good reason, and Wei Qingwan didn't know how to refuse for a while.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Mrs. Yun persuaded Wei Qingwan to go together: "Wanwan, I'm out to play today, so don't be so cautious, let's go enjoy the flowers with your classmates."
Wei Qingwan bit her lip, not daring to let Yun know that she didn't get along well with her classmates, so she nodded aggrievedly and agreed.
Xu Yaojun's face showed a tricky smile.
Erhu, she looked at Wei Ruo again, and extended an invitation to Wei Ruo: "Miss Wei, let's go too."
Wei Ruo shook his head: "I won't go, I'm more interested in your tea and pastries."
Xu Yaojun said: "These are just ordinary tea and cakes, not worthy of your careful taste, you should go with us!"
Yun also said: "Ruo'er, let's go together."
Wei Ruo was firm: "No, I'm tired after walking for such a long distance, let me rest."
Wei Ruo is not Wei Qingwan, she has a good face and cannot be wiped away. She didn't want to go, and there were many reasons. She would rather admit that she was physically weak and had never seen the world, than Wei Ruo, who was unwilling to wrong herself to do something she didn't want to do.
What's more, Wei Ruo already smelled something bad.
This kind of plot development in the original book is the beginning of trouble for the cannon fodder female supporting role to find the heroine.
Whether it is or not, Wei Ruo doesn't want to get involved. She doesn't have the energy to play this kind of game with them.
As for whether Wei Qingwan will be tricked, it has nothing to do with her. As long as they don't drag her into the water, they can do whatever they want.
"Then do whatever you want!" Xu Yaojun had no patience with Wei Ruo, and when she saw her repeatedly refusing, she stopped talking to her.
