Chapter 83 Make Early Plans
"Brother gave me Tingsongyuan. I wanted to embroider a purse for him a long time ago. However, I am clumsy and can't embroider. Sister Qingwan just gave me one, so I will borrow flowers to present Buddha to my brother." Wei Ruodao .
Wei Ruo smiled brightly, then turned and left.
She doesn't care if it's appropriate to pass on the gifts that others gave her to others. Anyway, she is a girl from the country, and they will understand some rules if they don't understand them, right?
In short, she dare not accept Wei Qingwan's things, who knows if she is setting her up? Although she can't think of what Wei Qingwan can plan with a small purse for the time being, but as long as she doesn't give her a chance, her plan will only come to nothing.
Besides, she slandered her and wronged her, so how can she use something like a purse to deduct it?
After Wei Yichen saw clearly what was in his hand, he wanted to call Wei Ruo back, but Wei Ruo had already left.
"Wanwan, is this what you want to give to Ruoer?" Wei Yichen asked Wei Qingwan.
"Well, probably I didn't do well, my sister doesn't like it..." Wei Qingwan murmured.
"Ruo'er has such a temperament. She has been in the mansion for a while. She acts a little more straightforwardly, but she has no bad intentions. Wanwan, don't think too much." Wei Yichen said, not thinking that such a trivial matter is good. Think about it.
The two younger sisters are just very different in temperament, but they are both very good girls, and they are the two jewels of their Wei family.
"Yes... I see..." Wei Qingwan hurriedly said, with an ugly look on her drooping face.
"Brother purse is kept, thank you Wanwan." Although this kind of embroidered purse Wei Yichen can't use, but it is the hearts of the two sisters that must be cherished.

The capital, Zhongyi Bofu.
The news of Wei Mingting's promotion reached the capital very quickly. The news came from the middle of the capital, earlier than the letter from Xingshan County.
Hearing the good news, the Zhongyibo Mansion was immersed in an atmosphere of joy.
"The third one is doing well! This is a happy event, a great happy event, and a great happy event for our entire Bofu!"
The old man was very happy, and his face was filled with joy that he hadn't shown for a long time.
It has been three full years, and the third child has finally been promoted to another level! His hanging heart can finally drop!
Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong also had smiles on their faces.
"Father, this is really a happy event. Now we don't have to worry about the third brother being dismissed." Wei Mingyong said with a smile.
"Father, for such a big happy event, shall we go to Xingshan County to express congratulations to the third brother in person?" Wei Minghong asked for instructions.
The old man objected: "You don't need to go in person. Although you are only on a job, but you have an job, how can you run around? I'm afraid you won't be caught, right?"
The old uncle continued: "You brothers, if you are really happy for your younger brother, show your sincerity. As an elder brother, you should also prepare some congratulatory gifts for your younger brother. It is bitterly cold in Xingshan County. Not good, it is foreseeable that the grain will not be harvested before the autumn harvest. You two are older brothers, and you should think more about your younger brother."
The two brothers hesitated for a while, and Wei Mingyong spoke first: "Father is right, I will go back and prepare for the third brother's promotion, so the congratulatory gifts cannot be shabby."
Wei Mingyong opened his mouth, and Wei Minghong was naturally not easy to let go. He bit the bullet and said: "Father, don't worry, even if you don't mention this matter, father, I will definitely arrange it early."
Although the two brothers were reluctant, they did not dare to fool the old man. After returning, they each prepared some things and took them to the old man. After the old man sorted them out, he sent someone to send them to Xingshan County.

In late July, Wei Ruo received a letter from Mojiazha.
Lizheng wrote back to Wei Ruo on behalf of the villagers, and he promised that after the harvest of this year's grain at Mojia Station, they would keep the grain for next year, and then sell the extra grain to Wei Ruo at the normal local price.
The rice seeds that Wei Ruo gave them are all grown in their village, and Wei Ruo taught them a lot of planting knowledge, which made the rice output of their village much higher than that of other surrounding villages for several consecutive years.
In the same way, the living conditions of Mojiazha, which was originally poor, have been significantly improved. They can have enough food and clothing, and in addition to being self-sufficient, they can also sell surplus food for money.
The villagers all remember this feeling, so no matter how the price of grain changes in the future, they will sell it to Wei Ruo at the usual price.
The coal has also been contacted, and a batch has been purchased in Huzhou Prefecture in advance, and it will be shipped over in a while.
Whether it is the current situation or the memory of the original owner, it tells Wei Ruo that this year will be a difficult one. The cold and lack of food will be the two major problems plaguing Xingshan County.
Faced with these problems, Wei Ruo must make plans early.
"Miss, do you really have to spend so much money on grain and coal? This is almost all your cash." Xiumei was a little worried.
Wei Ruo had spent most of the money he saved before buying Xiaoyang Mountain, and now he has to spend another five hundred taels of silver to buy grain and coal, almost emptying out the money he saved.
"Flowing water does not rot, and money can make money. Silver itself is just a cold lump of iron. Only when it can be exchanged for what I want, that silver is meaningful."
"Miss, it's good that you have a plan. When you really have to do something, don't allow yourself to carry it alone. The nanny, Uncle Xu, and I can share your worries and solve your problems." Xiumei said.
"Don't worry, good Meizi, your miss, I'm really good at making money!" Wei Ruo smiled, and then rubbed her stomach, "It's just that I do too many things that waste my brain, and my stomach tends to get hungry."
"Okay, okay, I see, I'm going to make some snacks! The seafood I bought last time has been dried, how about I go bake you a dried squid?"
"Okay, bake some more, and send some to my second brother."
"no problem!"
Xiumei went to take out the dried squid that had just been dried a while ago, went to Yingzhuyuan next door, and borrowed the charcoal fire from their small kitchen to grill it.
After roasting, it was directly divided into two parts, one part was left in Yingzhu Garden for Xiao Bei to take to Wei Jinyi, and the remaining part was brought back to Wei Ruo.
After eating a piece of fragrant and crunchy dried squid, Wei Ruo happily nestled in the room and worked all afternoon.
On the other side, Wei Jin also savored the dried squid sent by Wei Ruo.
Xiao Bei sighed beside him: "Master, Missy is so kind to you, she thinks of you for everything!"
