Chapter 228 The wives are enthusiastic about Wei Ruo
Then Xu Yaojun and Wei Qingwan went to the Peach Blossom Forest.
The Yun family didn't comment on Wei Ruo's rejection of Xu Yaojun's behavior. Firstly, Wei Ruo's temperament has always been like this, and she doesn't even give her the face of being a mother, let alone others; secondly, Wei Ruo and Xu Yaojun also It's normal if you don't know each other well and don't want to play together.
Not long after Xu Yaojun and others left, Mrs. Tongzhi came to talk to Yun.
Mr. Yun talked with him with a smile, and during the conversation, the two mentioned their son in Anzhou Academy.
"I heard from my son, Feng Yuan, that Young Master Wei has a brilliant literary talent, outstanding talent and learning, and is very appreciated by Mr. Tongzhi." Madame Tongzhi praised.
"Sir, it's absurd. My son Yichen is knowledgeable. Compared with many young masters in Fucheng, he still has a lot to learn." Yun immediately replied modestly.
Madam Tongzhi continued: "Mrs. Wei is really blessed. Both the eldest son and the eldest daughter are so outstanding. From now on, there will be inexhaustible blessings!"
No one would dislike hearing such compliments, and Yun Shi was no exception. Hearing this, he felt flattered in his heart, and then looked at the quiet Wei Ruo, with a wider smile on his face.
Now this scene is something she had never thought of before. She always thought that this daughter's behavior did not conform to the norms of a lady.
Madam Tongzhi was also looking at Wei Ruo, looking at Wei Ruo's quiet appearance, with a gentle and kind expression, and said, "I heard that Miss Qingruo studied under Mr. Wang Caiwei, what books have you read recently?"
Mr. Wang Caiwei’s name is well-known in Liangzhe Road, and the conduct and bearing of women who have studied under Mr. Wang Caiwei are a bit higher than those of other families.
"Recently read a few poems." Wei Ruo replied.
"As expected of Mr. Wang, the books he read are also different from those of others." Madam Tongzhi laughed.
The Book of Songs belongs to the Four Books and Five Classics, which are books for men. Women generally do not read them. Female gentlemen generally teach their female students to read "Nvjie" and "Nvxun", that is, the Analects of Confucius, which is also specially selected for women.
Immediately afterwards Madam Tongzhi asked again: "Does Mr. Wang teach any other skills?"
"Learned some tea and incense making." Wei Ruo replied.
"Really? I'll meet you when I have the chance. Qing Ruo is so smart and learns from Mr. Wang. His skills must be extraordinary!" Mrs. Tongzhi had an expectant expression on her face.
Wei Ruo said with a smile: "I am not good at learning, so I dare not show my clumsiness in front of my wife."
Madam Tongzhi said: "Don't be modest, I've heard that the ladies of the Yuan family who are your classmates all praised you for being amazing, you are very talented, and you are a student with superb academic skills. You are a student that Mr. Wang likes very much."
Wei Ruo smiled slightly. For such a compliment, it's good to have heard it, and you can't take it too seriously.
At this moment, Mrs. Jin also came over.
The Jin family is an aristocratic family in Taizhou Prefecture. Their ancestors were grand masters, and now some members of the family are officials in other places.
"What is Mrs. Xu talking to Miss Wei? I am so happy, it makes my heart itch. I can't help but come over to join in the fun." Mrs. Jin smiled.
"I didn't say anything, I just asked Ms. Wei about some daily things. I envy Mrs. Wei for having such a good daughter as Ms. Wei, unlike Mr. Yao from my family who always makes me worry." Madam Tongzhi said with emotion.
Wen Yanyun hurriedly said: "Mrs. Tongzhi praised you absurdly. Miss Yaojun is no worse than my family Ruo'er. You don't know how much headache my family's Ruo'er is when she is disobedient."
This is true, Wei Ruo can testify that the Yun family really has a headache for her.
Mrs. Jin said: "Mrs. Wei, don't be humble. The public notice of the government office said, and the court's commendation certificate has also come down. Miss Wei is the only one in the entire Taizhou government."
Mrs. Tongzhi agreed: "Miss Qingruo was rewarded by His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness before, and the most important thing is that she has a heart of love to help the people, and she is deeply loved by the people."
Mr. Yun smiled embarrassedly, the pride that could not be hidden in the smile.
Mr. Yun can vaguely feel from the enthusiasm of the two wives towards herself and her eldest daughter that her eldest daughter seems to satisfy them very much, and she hardly needs to worry about the marriage.
Several people were chatting when suddenly piercing screams came from the direction of Peach Blossom Forest.
Everyone's hearts suddenly lifted.
Then Xu Yaojun and several young ladies with her ran out of the forest, looking panicked.
Madam Tongzhi got up quickly: "Mr. Yao, what's the matter, so flustered?"
"I...I..." Xu Yaojun, who was still panicking just now, changed his expression and became hesitant.
Xu Yaojun was like this, Madam Tongzhi became even more nervous: "Say it quickly! Don't scare your mother!"
"No...it's nothing wrong, I was just shocked when I saw a snake." Xu Yaojun argued.
"Snake?" Madam Tongzhi was surprised, and immediately ordered someone to enter the peach blossom forest to check.
There are so many wives and ladies here today, if there is a snake, it will be bad if it hurts someone.
"Where's Wanwan? Why didn't my Wanwan come out?" Mrs. Yun stepped forward and found that Wei Qingwan was not among the girls who ran out, so she couldn't help becoming nervous.
After hearing the words, Mrs. Tongzhi immediately asked the servants to find Wei Qingwan.
Xu Yaojun lowered her head, looking a little guilty.
Others didn't notice her reaction, but Wei Ruo did, and guessed that Xu Yaojun's fright might not have come from the snake, but what she and a few other people did to Wei Qingwan, but something unexpected happened to her, causing her to panic At a loss.
The so-called Peach Blossom Forest is not that big, and those who went in quickly came out, even bringing back Wei Qingwan.
Wei Qingwan also seemed to be a little frightened, with her head lowered, her face slightly pale, and the weak Liu Fufeng's figure was a little precarious, which made her look very pitiful.
"Wanwan." Yun Shi stepped forward quickly, checking Wei Qingwan's situation nervously.
"Mother, I'm fine." Wei Qingwan said.
"But met a snake? Did you get bitten?" Yun asked nervously again.
"Snake..." Wei Qingwan raised her head and looked in Xu Yaojun's direction.
Feeling her gaze, Xu Yaojun looked away guiltily.
"Not bitten." Wei Qingwan replied.
"That's good, that's good." Yun said repeatedly.
Then Mrs. Tongzhi ordered people to search around to find that scary snake.
At the same time, he apologized to everyone, saying that his preparations were not proper enough, which caused the snake to appear where they were staying and disturbed everyone.
At this time, Xu Fengyuan, Wei Yichen and others heard the movement through the fence and asked about the situation through the fence.
"Mother, what's the matter? But what happened?" Xu Fengyuan asked Mrs. Tongzhi nervously.
