Chapter 368 Blood relatives
Wei Ruo grabbed some clothes and wrapped himself up more tightly.
Wei Ruo complained in his heart, next time he would not be able to wear clothes made of this material when he went out. This material was specially improved by himself. Although it was clearer and thinner than ordinary materials, it was indeed much more comfortable to wear when the weather was hot, but Embarrassment in this situation is really embarrassing!
Then Wei Ruo leaned against the stone wall behind him, listening to the sound of pouring rain falling on the mountains and forests, as well as the sound of thunder from time to time.
Because her whole body was wet, she looked a little anxious, and hoped that the rain would end soon.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Wei Jinyi whose back was facing him. Wei Ruo couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. Although the second brother is sometimes a bit "pedantic", he is really considerate to himself.
He is the second brother who treats me well besides brother Xiaoyong, and he is also the only one who has a blood relationship with him and gets along with him like a relative.
This must be a family member. Fortunately, God didn’t treat her very badly. He still left a "family member" for her.
"Thank you, second brother." Wei Ruo whispered to Wei Ruo.
"Yes." Wei Jin also responded, his voice was a little hoarse than before.
Xiumei on the other side is in the same situation as Wei Ruo, and the material of her clothes is the same as Wei Ruo's.
Xiaobei followed suit and covered Xiumei with her clothes, and Xiumei whispered "Thank you".
I don’t know if God heard Wei Ruo’s call, the rain stopped after about a stick of incense.
Although the rain has stopped, water is still flowing on the ground. It seems that the whole mountain has been washed away by the rain, and the confluence of the water flow is like a small stream.
Wei Jin also asked Xiaobei to go out and find some dead wood and leaves in a place that was not exposed to the rain.
Although it is not too cold today, it is not easy for Wei Ruo to go down the mountain and return to the city with his clothes and hair wet all the time.
Wei Jin also cut down some miscellaneous trees nearby and set up a temporary barrier to cover Wei Ruo and Xiumei.
After Xiao Bei collected the firewood and came back, he lit a fire for Wei Ruo and Xiumei to hide behind a temporary barrier to dry their clothes.
After the shower, the sun came out again, and the fire was roasting, and the clothes of the few people only took a stick of incense to dry.
Although Wei Ruo and the others looked somewhat embarrassed, they were not so uncomfortable after all.
When he came out from behind the temporary barrier, Wei Ruo returned the dried clothes to Wei Jinyi.
Wei Jin also took the clothes, and smelled a faint fragrance on the clothes, neither floral nor balm, like a mixture of herbs and sandalwood.
Wei Jin also knew that this was Wei Ruo's smell, so he couldn't help but tighten his fingers.
After the refurbishment, several people went down the mountain again and rushed back to the city before closing the city gate.
Early the next morning, Wei Ruo went to the villages and counties in the area of Fengting Mountain, and had a rough talk about the purchase. The negotiation process went smoothly, especially since Wei Ruo was willing to buy in a combination of money and grain, which made them agree. Very happy.
In this year’s situation, grain is especially precious, and it’s better to buy things with grain than with silver.
The reason why Zhao Hai was arranged to come here was not only his own ability and experience in managing Zhuangzi, but also partly because his younger brother Zhao Xun wanted to come to the provincial capital to take the provincial examination.
Zhao Xun is originally a scholar, and he has the opportunity to participate in this year's rural examination. It's just that his physical condition is worrying, and it's hard to say whether he can stick to the whole exam.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Hai didn't want him to take part. His body finally got better under Wei Ruo's conditioning. Participating in the laborious rural examination might make his condition worse.
But Zhao Xun himself is very persistent, saying that he doesn’t want to miss this opportunity, and would rather die in the examination room than miss it.
Zhao Hai had no choice but to persuade him, so he could only agree to accompany him to the provincial capital.
So Wei Ruo made such an arrangement by the way, which can not only make it easier for Zhao Hai to take care of Zhao Xun, but also allow Zhao Hai to help her deal with the affairs of the provincial capital.
In addition to Zhao Hai, there will be several villagers from Shitou Village who will also arrive in the provincial capital at a later date, to be sent by Zhao Hai to organize the follow-up cultivation of the newly purchased fields for Wei Ruo.
Because Wei Ruo has a certain understanding of these villagers in Shitou Village, and he recognizes their abilities and attitudes.
When starting a new Zhuangzi, using newcomers will increase the difficulty of management, especially this time Wei Ruo bought a relatively large field, and the management is also difficult. Deploying some familiar people will make things go more smoothly.
After that, Wei Ruo went shopping in the city again, visited some shops, and asked about the prices.
But the shop is not in a hurry to settle down. Wei Ruo only chose a rough location, and the specific decision will be made after the nanny Uncle Xu comes to do further investigation and understanding.
On the third day, Wei Ruocai and Wei Jinyi went to see Wei Yichen together, and gave Wei Yichen some things.
When we met, Wei Yichen's expression was still as indifferent and serious as he was a few days ago, not as gentle as before, and he would not catch Wei Ruo talking a lot like before.
Wei Yichen simply thanked Wei Jinyi and Wei Ruo and let them go back.
After finishing all these tasks, Wei Ruo and the others set off for Taizhou Mansion that afternoon.
It took Wei Ruo and the others a total of eight days for this trip, including the round trip and the stay in the provincial capital.
If it weren't for the fear of being questioned by Yun's if he went back late, Wei Ruo would still be delayed for a few days on the way back.
When Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi returned to Xiaowei's Mansion in Taizhou Prefecture, it happened to be the night of August 14th.
Because the next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the mansion is extremely busy.
After returning to the mansion, Wei Ruo went to greet the Yun family as usual.
However, Yun's expression today is very bad, and she is not happy about celebrating the reunion festival, but her expression does not seem to be aimed at Wei Ruo, and she didn't say much about Wei Ruo's late return.
I don’t know if it’s because the children she valued the most were not by her side on the days when they were supposed to be reunited.
After going back to Tingsongyuan and asking Nanny Zhang to inquire carefully, it turns out that Yun's bad mood is not only because Wei Yichen and Wei Qingwan are not at the house.
Even Wei Mingting will not be able to come back tomorrow, because the frontline anti-Japanese army and Japanese pirates are fighting again, and I don’t know what’s going on right now.
In addition, during the time when Wei Ruo and the others went to the provincial capital, the Yun family received a letter from the Grand Master of the Earl's Mansion in the capital to the Captain's Mansion. But the premise is that their masters have to cooperate.
