“Second brother, the weather has been getting hotter these days. I would like to go up to the yard to enjoy the shade and drink tonight, okay?” Wei Ruo suddenly suggested.
“Okay.” Wei Jin also responded.
“Then I’ll make spicy rabbit head, frozen fish skin, and preserved eggs mixed with tofu to go with the wine.” Wei Ruodao.
“Okay.” As long as she did it, it’s okay.
“Then I’ll go.”
Wei Ruo left happily.
At night, the two of them set up a small table in the courtyard of Songzhuyuan and sat down to eat vegetables, drink wine and enjoy the cool air together.
Wei Ruo drank wine, and Wei Jin also drank herbal tea.
Watching Wei Ruo drink one cup after another, Wei Jin couldn't help but frown.
Although Wei Ruo's drinking capacity is pretty good, she is not a drinker and has had the experience of getting drunk.
He was a little worried that she drank too much.
Soon, what Wei Jin was worried about happened. Wei Ruo's cheeks started to turn red and his eyes were blurred.
"Ruo'er, drink less, drunkenness will harm your health." Wei Jin also said.
“Second brother, I’m happy today, so just let me drink to my heart’s content!” Wei Ruo muttered.
Hearing this, Wei Jin could no longer stop him. He just looked at Wei Ruo's swaying figure and frowned more and more.
Finally Wei Ruo was drunk and staggered towards Wei Jinyi's room with a wine bottle in his hand.
Wei Jin could only push the two wheels of his wheelchair to follow Wei Ruo.
“Second brother, I’m a little dizzy and I’m going to bed.” Wei Ruo said as he walked.
Wei Jin also followed closely, his eyes never leaving.
Wei Ruo walked all the way to Wei Jinyi's bed, turned back to Wei Jinyi and took two more gulps.
After drinking, she fell on Wei Jinyi's bed.
Lying on the bed, Wei Ruo's eyes were closed tightly, but his consciousness was extremely clear.
She was not drunk, not at all.
Today's wine was mixed with water. It just smelled like wine, but actually had no alcohol.
Since the second brother doesn’t drink, he naturally doesn’t know that her wine is adulterated.
Wei Ruo couldn't see Wei Jinyi and could only judge Wei Jinyi's movements by sound and feeling.
She heard the figure of the wheelchair and her second brother approaching her.
Then the second brother took away the empty wine bottle from her hand.
Then her hanging feet were lifted up by a force and placed on the bed.
Wei Ruo muttered in her heart: She didn’t even take off her shoes! This will stain the bed!
Second brother doesn’t even dare to take off her shoes, right?
He is too upright, isn't he?
Just as he was thinking about it, Wei Ruo suddenly felt a heat approaching him.
It was her second brother's face that was close to hers, and she could feel his breath.
Soon, her forehead was touched by something soft and warm.
means lip.
The second brother’s lips.
He kissed her.
Then the heat starts to leave.
Then Wei Ruo heard the sound of the wheelchair rolling and was moving away from her. Wei Ruo heard the sound of the door closing, and the room became quiet.
Wei Ruo slowly opened his eyes, stood up and sat on the edge of the bed.
Touched his forehead, as if there was still residual warmth there.
Wei Ruo sighed slightly in her heart. She was both happy and disappointed that her second brother was like this.

Three more days passed.
As she promised, Zheta went to the orphanage established by Wei Ruo every day to take care of the children.
There are now nineteen children there, and it is not easy to take care of them.
Zhang Yi reported to Wei Ruo the results of his observations of the Zheta in the past few days.
“Miss, Princess Zheta is very patient. After a busy day during the day, she is still very patient when she goes back to take care of the children to sleep at night. She also tells stories to the little girls.”
“In addition, the people we sent to inquire about the news also responded. Princess Zheta of the Yehe tribe is indeed a person who cares about the people very much. During the snowstorm last year, she rushed to the front line of disaster relief and was almost buried under the snow-capped mountains.”
Wei Ruo felt that if Princess Zheta really came all the way to find her for her people, and was willing to make things difficult for her, she must have shown some love for the people before, so she specially ordered Zhang Yi to inquire.
After listening to Zhang Yi’s report, Wei Ruo probably came to a conclusion.
"Thank you for your hard work, this information is very useful to me." Then Wei Ruo stood up, "I will go to see this special princess of Yehe tribe now."

"The great warrior rode his horse towards the valley and stopped the terrible tiger. The warrior drew his sword and stabbed the tiger in the belly..."
Wei Ruo came to the door of the room and heard Zheta's voice coming from inside before he entered.
It sounds like she is telling the children the story of their Jurchen warriors.
Wei Ruo didn't rush in and stayed outside the door until Zheta finished telling the children a story. The children all fell asleep and Zheta came out of the room.
Zheta saw Wei Ruo at the door of the room and asked, "Why are you here?"
“Let’s talk?” Wei Ruodao.
“I don’t seem to have a choice.” Zheta said.
“Let’s go and sit in the next room.”
Wei Ruo took Zheta to the empty room next to him.
Xiumei lit the lamp in the room and made tea for the two of them.
“Are you here to make new demands from me?” Zeta asked, “Just tell me, I’m ready.”
"Okay, then I'll mention it. I hope to get along well with your Yehe tribe, and we can solve the food problem together. After everyone's life is rich, the two places can trade and exchange what they need." Wei Ruodao.
Zheta obviously didn't realize that Wei Ruo would make such a request, and looked at Wei Ruo in surprise.
“Is this what you want to ask for?”
"Yes, this is my request." Wei Ruo said with a smile, "In return, I am willing to share my various high-yielding seeds with you, and I am also willing to share planting methods, including but not limited to planting time, techniques, and fertilization. Precautions."
“You...why did you suddenly become so generous?” Zheta asked.
"It's not that I suddenly became so generous, but that I was willing to share this with the Jurchen people. The request I made to you earlier was to verify what you said and to make sure that you were indeed doing it for the people and not for your own selfish desires." Wei Ruodao .
After listening to Wei Ruo's words, Zheta was speechless for a long time.
Wei Ruo was not in a hurry and took a leisurely sip of tea, waiting for Zheta to think clearly before giving her the answer.
After a long time, Zheta raised his head and replied with a smile: "I take back what I said when I first met you, saying you are nothing special. You are quite special."
Wei Ruo smiled: "I don't know if it's special or not. I just do what I think is right."
“Don’t worry, I will multiply the seeds you give me and distribute them to those in need. I will also go back and teach the planting techniques you taught me to others, and I will never keep it secret.” Zheta promised Wei Ruo.
Then Zheta picked up the tea cup on the table and said, "Princess, my wife, today I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."
"Then I'll wait and see." Wei Ruo replied to Zheta. (End of chapter)
