Blessed Daughter

Wei Ruo continued: "Deputy General Xu is the friend I told you about before."

"Well, I guessed it." Wei Jin also replied.

I don't know if it was because he was tired because he didn't sleep last night, but Wei Ruo felt that Wei Jinyi's expression was a little cold or even displeased.

Now that the topic has come to Xu Zhengyong, Wei Ruo continued: "Actually, he is not only my friend, he is also my nanny's son. We grew up together. We say he is the nanny's son, but in my heart he is the son of my nanny." Always been my brother."

"I know that in those aristocratic families, the master is the master, and the servant is the servant. There is a clear boundary. I am close to the nanny's son. Those people will not think that we are brothers and sisters, and they will even be a little dirty. conjecture."

"But in my heart, my nanny treated me better than my two nominal mothers, and Brother Xiaoyong was just like my own brother. Our relationship is very pure. Even if there is no blood relationship, I still feel that our relationship There is no difference between siblings."

Wei Ruo didn't tell Wei Jin Yiming before, because he felt that the relationship between the two was not that close, and he was worried that Wei Jin would keep a distance between himself and the other party after explaining to avoid criticism, so Wei Ruo only said that he was a friend of his .

Wei Jin also turned his head to look at Wei Ruo with deep eyes: "But you told me."

Wei Ruodao: "Because according to my judgment on the second brother during this period, I don't think the second brother would think of me that way, and would not ask me to keep a distance from the nanny's family like people outside, so I can understand my feelings."

"Yes." Wei Jin also gave an affirmative answer.

"Oh, by the way, second brother, you didn't sleep last night, you should go to sleep first, don't torment your body." Wei Ruo said.

"En." Wei Jin also agreed, then put down the pen in his hand, got up and went back to the room.

After he entered the room, Xiaobei said to Wei Ruo with a happy face: "Miss, our young master listens to you the most, I just tried to persuade you for a long time, but it was useless. If you say a word, young lady, the young master will go to rest. "

Wei Ruo didn't think there was any problem, and said to Xiaobei: "Take good care of your young master, if he feels unwell, please come and tell me."

"Miss, don't worry, this time I have a long memory, and if the young master feels uncomfortable, I will definitely find you!" Xiao Bei promised.

Then Wei Ruo went back to listen to Songyuan, she still had things to do.

Although the rain has stopped, the harm caused by the sudden change of weather is not over yet.

It just so happened that Xie Ying came to Xiaowei's mansion to look for Wei Ruo, and Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to bring Xie Ying directly to Tingsongyuan.

As soon as Xie Ying entered the door, she rushed to Wei Ruo, caught Wei Ruo and looked up and down carefully, making sure that she had no missing arms or legs, and no bumps.

Then he asked Wei Ruo: "Ruoruo, I heard that you went to the south of the city to save people and then went to Xishan Village to save people?"

"How do you know?" Wei Ruo asked in surprise.

"Just kidding, who am I? I'm Xie Ying, how can I not know such a big thing?"

Wei Ruo looked at Xie Ying suspiciously.

Xie Ying smiled: "My brother told me, he rushed back from Fucheng last night to help, he went to the Yamen first, and learned about you from Qianzhi County, so he told me this morning as soon as he returned to Fucheng. "

Xie Ying was a little depressed when she said that: "Ruoruo, why don't you bring me with you? I want to help too!"

Seeing Xie Ying's displeasure, Wei Ruo hurriedly said, "I'm planning to bring you to do the next thing together."

"What's next? Haven't the people in the south of the city and the villagers in Xishan Village been rescued?" Xie Ying asked puzzled.

"There are a lot of things to do in the future. This sudden extreme weather caused many people to rot in the fields before they could harvest. Many people's houses were destroyed, and some people's food was also soaked. May starve and freeze."

"Then how can I help them?" Xie Ying asked.

"Let's go to the porridge, let the starving people have a full meal first. Then find a way to get some cotton-padded quilts." Wei Ruo said.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go now!" Xie Ying grabbed Wei Ruo's hand and was about to take her out.

Seeing her young lady being dragged away, Xiumei quickly chased after her.

Yesterday, she stayed in the county office and did not follow the young lady, causing her to worry for a whole day. Today, she can't let the young lady run around anymore.

In the afternoon, a porridge stand was set up at the gate of the west city to give porridge to people passing by.

Fresh sweet potatoes and porridge were boiled into a pot of sweet potato porridge, which was fragrant and sweet, and attracted nearby villagers, who came to queue up to drink the porridge.

Wei Ruo, Xie Ying, Xiumei and several servant girls of the Xie family were busy at the porridge stall.

Wei Ruo and Xie Ying did all the porridge cooking, washing dishes, and serving porridge by themselves.

The three of them worked until it was almost dinner time, and sent out ten pots of sweet potato porridge.

In the end, there was still a little left in the pot, and Xie Ying, who was already so hungry, filled it up and ate it by herself.

"Ruoruo, this sweet potato porridge is so sweet and delicious! I don't think any delicacies from mountains and seas can compare to it!" Xie Ying felt that such a simple food tasted so good for the first time.

Wei Ruo couldn't help but said, "You only find it delicious when you're hungry."

Xie Ying said: "It seems to be so. I seem to understand what my grandfather said. My grandfather said that he has eaten countless delicacies over the years, but the most delicious food is still when he returned home after farming when he was young. My grandmother made him steamed buns with pickles."

Wei Ruo smiled and said, "Your grandfather is right."

"Ruoruo, shall we continue tomorrow?" Xie Ying said.

"As long as your family has no objections, I'm fine."

"Of course there is no problem in my family. I know that I am here to deliver porridge. My mother and my brother don't know how to support me. They also said that my grandfather in the capital will be very happy for me to do this." Xie Ying said confidently replied.

"Then we'll come back tomorrow."

"good!"

###

In the evening, the news that Xie Ying and Wei Ruo were serving porridge at the gate of the west city reached Xiaowei's mansion.

Although the Yun family didn't approve of Wei Ruo's behavior of personally running to the south of the city to save people, but he very much agreed with the matter of giving porridge.

In the event of a disaster, it has been a custom since the founding of the sage queens that women from rich and noble families give porridge, and it is a commendable act of virtue and kindness.

As for the fact that Wei Ruo went to the south of the city to save people, got himself into a mess, and shared a room with a group of villagers, because Wei Ruo changed his mind after saving Wei Mingting.

Perhaps the husband is right, and the eldest daughter should not be demanded by the standard of a lady in the capital.

The only thing Yun is dissatisfied with is that Wei Ruo and Xie Ying's porridge stand is run in the name of the Xie family. Although Wei Ruo contributed money and energy and took the lead in the porridge donation, those who didn't know thought it was the Xie family's leadership. Wei Ruo just went to help.
