Chapter 524 Return to Uncle Zhongyi’s Mansion
The day after delivering the medicine to the emperor, Wei Ruo began to arrange for the palace's servants to make some improvements to the palace's backyard.
She can't help much in the court dispute anyway, so she should still be busy with whatever is left, and the soldiers will cover up the rest.
“In this Mingxiang Pavilion, we plant radishes, over there we grow radish, and over there we plant rapeseed. These vegetables are all cold-tolerant, and they are suitable for eating in winter.”
“The Liufang Pavilion is freed up to raise chickens.”
“The westernmost room is used to store coal.”
…”
Lin Fang came back from going out to do errands and saw that Wei Ruo had turned the backyard of the palace upside down.
“Miss, what are you going to do?” Lin Fang asked in confusion.
Wei Ruo explained: "Isn't this room empty? It's good for accumulating some things. The things I put there will not break down in a short period of time, so you don't have to worry. And I have left all those valuable furniture for others." It’s been packed up, but the main rooms haven’t been touched.”
Wei Ruo did not explicitly say that she stockpiled food in advance because she predicted that there might be a larger disaster this year.
At present, the court has not publicized this matter to the outside world, and she does not dare to let the news out first.
“I see, if Miss needs it, she can do whatever she wants.” Lin Fang nodded in agreement.
Wei Ruo then added: "As for growing vegetables, I didn't change everything. Just in the courtyards facing the courtyard, I saw that there weren't many plants growing in the courtyards, and the houses there were quite old. Why not just use it to grow vegetables, just plant three yards, and leave the rest to your prince."
After all, it is a palace, Wei Ruo still cares about his face. It would be too much to change the entire courtyard of the palace to grow vegetables. However, the palace is very big and there are many empty courtyards. Now there are not many people living in the backyard, so a few changes are needed. Remote yards are still okay.
Firstly, it can help Wei Ruo get over the addiction of growing vegetables, and secondly, if there is any extreme weather and the supply of fresh vegetables is insufficient, the garden in the house can also allow everyone to eat fresh vegetables.
“As long as you’re happy, Miss, I can change everything.”
It’s hard to buy money for the eldest lady to be happy. The master has said it. It doesn’t matter how happy the eldest lady is. It doesn’t matter if the entire backyard of the palace is turned into a vegetable garden.
“By the way, free up the Nuan Pavilion for me. I want to grow mushrooms.”
"Huh?" Lin Fang was stunned for a moment. The idea of growing mushrooms made Lin Fang a little unable to react, and then he agreed, "Okay, okay, I will do it now."
"In addition, I asked someone to buy a cart of sheep dung. You can help me transport it to the westernmost yards in a while." Wei Ruodao.
“Okay.” Lin Fang agreed.
For two days in a row, Wei Ruo was extremely busy, not only busy with the chicken and duck farm outside the city, but also arranging things in the backyard of the palace.
But the effect is also significant. Seeing the piles of supplies and the cultivated land, Wei Ruo is in a good mood.
This series of actions in Prince Rui's Mansion made a lot of noise. Whether it was raising chickens and ducks outside the city or transporting supplies to the Prince's Mansion, Wei Ruo did it blatantly.
So it attracted a lot of people's attention.
But most of them just laugh it off.
Compared with the situation where King Yu and King Jing are in a state of conflict, Prince Rui’s house is just like children’s play house, and it’s not even a conversation starter.
###
Wei Ruo packed up a little and prepared to go to Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion. Today is the old man’s seventieth birthday.
Uncle Zhongyi’s Mansion sent her an invitation half a month ago.
It is Old Mrs. Wei's seventieth birthday, and there is not much going on in the house. She just plans to sit down and have a meal with her family.
Hence, he sent a letter to Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan, hoping that they would bring their husbands to attend.
But Mr. Wei also said that it would be best if the two sons-in-law could come. If they couldn't come, Mr. Wei would understand very well and don't take it too seriously.
It is estimated that Mr. Wei also knew that the possibility of his two grandsons-in-law coming was extremely low.
Prince Rui is seriously ill and doesn’t go out much. He hasn’t even returned home in three dynasties, let alone normal times?
Wei Qingwan is just a side concubine. The name of Prince Yu's grandson-in-law is not justified. In addition, Prince Yu has been busy with many affairs recently and can't get away. He will not bother with such trivial matters as the birthday of the old man of Zhongyi House.
###
Zhongyi Bofu.
Everyone in the house has also heard about every move made by Prince Rui and his wife in recent days.
The princess of the dignified prince actually ran to toss the chicken farm, the duck farm, and bought a lot of grains, fruits and vegetables in the house.
It seems that these two people really have no thoughts about the court.
On the contrary, if someone is capable of competing for the position of crown prince, he will not put his mind on these things.
There is no royal land in the world. The person who wants to be the emperor in the future will not care about the small piece of land for raising chickens and ducks. Only those who know that they cannot ascend to that position will fight for a piece of land and a shop. .
It is reasonable to place this matter on King Rui and his wife. It is hard to say how many days King Rui can live with his body. It is better to raise chickens and ducks and live a leisurely life.
This cannot be said to be a good thing. King Rui had no hope and it was hard to say how many days he could live. Now that he and his wife are like this, they can be considered contented.
Early in the morning, Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei called their two sons, three daughters-in-law and grandchildren to them and told them:
"The situation in the DPRK and China has been tense recently, and the struggle between King Yu and King Jing has become increasingly fierce. According to this situation, King Jing will be defeated soon. Today, as I celebrate my birthday, I would like to give you a few more words. Please pay more attention when you are acting outside, and don’t cause any trouble at this critical moment.”
“Yes.” Everyone replied in unison.
Mr. Wei nodded with satisfaction, and then warned:
"Both Prince Yu's concubine and Princess Rui will come today. We can't count on Prince Rui. The only one we can count on now is Prince Yu. So when Prince Yu's concubine comes later, you should be careful. Don’t neglect her just because she is a concubine.”
"Dad, don't worry. How could we make a mistake in this matter? We have always been best friends with Wanwan!" Bai quickly expressed her attitude.
“Dad, don’t worry, we all know what’s going on.” Wei Mingyong replied.
Wei Mingyong's face is full of spring breeze. Now he feels that his back is also strong.
Because Wei Mingyong recently got a job. Although it was a low-level job, he finally had a serious job.
And this job was prompted by Qi Yansong, because Qi Yansong mentioned that the second master of the Wei family was a malleable talent when chatting with others, so the officials below understood and arranged this small job for Wei Mingyong.
This is of great significance to Wei Mingyong, it means that he has been appreciated by Mr. Qi! The future is bright!
