Blessed Daughter

"Thank you miss! Thank you miss!" Chen Aqing kowtowed again.

The cook was also very happy: "Ah Qing has met a nobleman!"

"Take her down first, let her come to find Xiumei tomorrow." Wei Ruo said.

"Okay, okay!" The cook promised repeatedly.

After finishing talking, the cook pulled Chen Aqing and said as she walked: "I'll take you to change clothes. You are going to work in Miss Wei's friend's shop. This dress is not decent. You can stay with me this time. Don't go home for the time being, lest the new clothes I changed for you be taken by your mother and changed for your younger brother."

The cook didn't know that Wei Ruo opened the shop by herself. Wei Ruo claimed that it was her friend, and she and Xiumei were just helping to make brine and hiring people.

Watching the two walk away, some dusty memories appeared in Xiumei's mind.

"Miss, I remember that I was sold to the He family because my mother gave birth to a younger brother and couldn't support her anymore."

Xiumei was very young when she was sold, so she doesn't have a deep memory of her original family.

It was a dead contract that was sold again, and there was no further contact.

When Wei Ruo was taken to the Wei family, Xiumei was Wei Ruo's only personal maid, and the contract was also transferred to the Wei family.

Even though it was only a maid, the He family dared not refuse to give it to the Wei family. If there was no maid around when sending their daughter back to the Wei family, they were afraid that the Wei family would know that their direct daughter had been wronged by them.

Even now, the Wei family doesn't know what kind of life Wei Ruo is living in the He family. The He family's explanation to the Wei family is that Wei Ruo is not in good health and sent to the countryside to raise his health.

Wei Ruo patted Xiumei on the shoulder: "Don't care about them, it's their loss if they don't want my Meimei."

Xiumei nodded her head heavily: "That's right! I don't need them. I live happily with Miss and nanny Uncle Xu!"

"Wait a little longer, when I'm old enough to marry, I'll marry someone who is dying, and I can start my own family, and then we'll live together." Wei Ruo said to Xiumei.

"Miss, is there no other way? I don't want you to wrong yourself to marry someone who is dying." Xiumei murmured reluctantly.

"Become a father at home, and follow a husband when married. With my current status, I want to establish my own family. This is the simplest and most direct way. Besides, what's wrong with a dying person, if he can leave me a stepson, I will be even more happy I'm happy." Wei Ruo smiled.

Wei Ruozhen didn't think there was any problem with this.

She is a person who has lived for two lives. Compared with love and love, she wants to live her own happy life by herself.

Perhaps the biggest problem is how to find such a person. It is not easy to find a dying person who meets the requirements, and everyone must agree.

Xiumei muttered: "That's really not as good as Ah Qing, at least she can come out to work by herself."

"Everyone has their own hardships. We can't choose our lives, so we can only choose the path under our feet."

###

Wei Ruo has been busy for ten days.

On this day, Mrs. Yuan came to Tianqin Garden to look for Wei Ruo and brought good news to Wei Ruo.

"Sister Ruo'er, great joy, your father once again led an army to defeat the Japanese pirates!"

"Really?" Wei Ruo showed surprise.

"Really! Just now the good news has reached the magistrate's office, and my husband sent someone to notify me as soon as he learned about it."

The news Madam Yuan got must be accurate.

"Then...was someone injured?" Wei Ruo wanted to know how Xu Zhengyong was doing.

"Casualties are inevitable in the battle between the two armies, but don't worry, your father is fine, only slightly injured." Madam Yuan replied.

"Are there any other generals injured?" Wei Ruo asked.

"That's not clear." Madam Yuan replied, the information she got was not so detailed.

Wei Ruo was a little disappointed, and was thinking about finding someone back to Xingshan County to inquire after a while.

Mrs. Yuan said to Wei Ruo again: "I heard that this time there was a general surnamed Xu who performed very well this time. He led a small team over Moon Moon Mountain, attacked the enemy army by surprise, and finally captured the intruder. The leader of the Japanese pirates made a great contribution."

Isn't the general manager surnamed Xu Xiao Yong?

"Then was he injured?" Wei Ruo hurriedly asked.

"Probably not. I only heard that he made meritorious service, but I didn't hear that he was seriously injured. Even if he was injured, it should be a minor injury." Madam Yuan replied.

Wei Ruo was full of joy: "That's good, that's good."

"In addition to telling you the good news, I came here to ask if you want to send someone to send you back to Xingshan County first, so that you and your father can have a good celebration." Madam Yuan asked.

"No need, it's good to know the victory, so there's no need to celebrate, and isn't there still a lot of casualties? My father probably wouldn't want to celebrate." Wei Ruo explained.

"That's right." Madam Yuan agreed, "But it's a win anyway, and I'm very happy. Although the fight against Japanese pirates is almost becoming the norm, and the common people should live their lives, but if they keep fighting, the worries in their hearts are always There are quite a few, and my husband has worked hard for this time for a long time. Only by winning everyone can we have a good year."

Then Mrs. Yuan pulled Wei Ruo to talk for a while, during which time she tasted Wei Ruo's candied fruit, dried fruit and braised pork.

Madam Yuan didn't go back until someone from the magistrate's mansion told Madam Yuan that Brother Sheng had woken up from a nap and looked for his mother everywhere.

Then Wei Ruo quickly wrote a letter and sent someone to rush to Xingshan County to confirm the situation of Brother Xiaoyong.

Although what Madam Yuan said just now, Wei Ruo felt that the man was Brother Xiaoyong, but it would be more reassuring to confirm again.

As a result, the reply letter arrived the next day, but it wasn't the letter, but Xu Zhengyong himself.

"Brother Xiaoyong!" Xiumei ran up excitedly, checking Xu Zhengyong's situation up and down.

Then I saw Xu Zhengyong's hand was wrapped in a white cloth, and asked quickly: "What's the matter? Is your hand broken? Let the young lady take a look!"

"It's not broken, just a skin trauma." Xu Zhengyong said hastily.

"What kind of skin injury! It's fatal if the skin injury doesn't heal well, let the lady show you!" Xiumei took Xu Zhengyong's other uninjured arm and walked towards Wei Ruo.

"It's really all right, and I've already taken the medicine." Xu Zhengyong quickly explained.

Seeing Xiumei so nervous about herself, Xu Zhengyong smiled and said, "Junior Sister, you see that you care about me so much, are you planning to call me Senior Brother?"

When Xiumei heard this, she immediately let go, and then glared at Xu Zhengyong angrily: "You want to eat a fart! It's good if you didn't beat you! You still want me to call you brother?"

"Why did you beat me up? I have made military achievements." Xu Zhengyong said innocently.

"You still said, why didn't you tell us in advance that you are going to lead a surprise attack? How dangerous is that? If you don't cooperate well with the large army, your life will be lost!"
