Blessed Daughter

Looking at the dignified and euphemistic Wei Qingwan standing in front of him, Wei Yichen didn't know where to ask.

"Wanwan, what have you been doing these past few days?" Wei Yichen asked.

"Take classes at Tongzhifu." Wei Qingwan replied.

"Besides going to class, has Wanwan been to other places these days?" Wei Yichen asked again.

"Today, I went for a walk around the market. I was going to look at the jewelry store, but I didn't find anything that I liked. In the end, I only bought two silk scarves." Wei Qingwan replied, followed by a smile on her face. He asked Wei Yichen suspiciously, "Why did the eldest brother ask this all of a sudden?"

Looking at Wei Qingwan's crystal clear eyes, Wei Yichen's doubts over the past few days were shaken.

But just to be on the safe side, Wei Yichen continued to ask: "Wanwan, has she ever been near Anzhou College? A few days ago, a classmate of mine told me that she seemed to have seen you near the college."

"What am I going to do there? Anzhou College is outside the city, not to mention far away from the city. Women are not allowed to come and go around the college at will. Even if I go, I can't get in. Even if I miss my elder brother, I won't rush Run to Anzhou College to disturb." Wei Qingwan replied.

Wei Qingwan's words were well-founded and sincere, dispelling Wei Yichen's last trace of doubt.

Wanwan has been obedient and sensible since she was a child, and never did anything out of line. Not to mention such a shocking thing as hanging out with men, she has never done anything like disobeying her parents and elder brothers.

How could such a well-behaved younger sister be the woman he met with a strange man in the forest that day?

There are similarities between people, it should be that he misunderstood.

After thinking it over clearly, a big rock in Wei Yichen's heart finally fell, and he said to Wei Qingwan, "It's better if it's not you. Recently, there have been more refugees in the city. I heard that there was a looting of the grain store. I want to tell you Wanwan, don't run around, you are not safe as a woman."

"Don't worry, brother, I won't run around. I'm a girl, so where else can I go besides going to school. What's more... I'm not as comfortable as my sister, who can walk around." Wei Qingwan said.

Speaking of Wei Ruo, Wei Yichen's face darkened involuntarily, thinking of what Mr. Lu said today.

"Well, if Wanwan wants to go out, she still needs to go out like today. She needs to be accompanied by a nanny and maid to ensure that there are enough people around her." Wei Yichen continued to remind.

"Don't worry, big brother. I will be careful. Big brother should also pay attention to safety. On the way from home to Anzhou College, you will inevitably pass through some deserted areas. Big brother must remember to bring some guards from the mansion who can kung fu. It is best to go with your classmates."

Wei Qing's polite words are full of concern for Wei Yichen.

"Well, I will." With something in mind, Wei Yichen didn't greet Wei Qingwan any more, and left after saying a few words of concern.

After Wei Yichen left, Wei Qingwan's expression changed, and her palms were sweating a lot.

###

Wei Ruo came back much later than Wei Qingwan.

Wei Ruo didn't come back until dinner time.

Now that men and women are divided into tables, Wei Yichen not only has no chance to talk to Wei Ruo when the meal is over, he doesn't even see her face.

Wei Yichen didn't see Wei Ruo until the tea tasting time after dinner, but because his parents were present, Wei Yichen had to keep his questions about Wei Ruo in his heart.

Wei Mingting talked about the recent exodus and the lack of food for the people.

He is a military officer, and these things are not under his jurisdiction, but these things that happened today are no longer a matter of whose jurisdiction it is.

But no one with a conscience can be indifferent.

The Yun family also confessed to everyone the current situation at home, and then gave everyone a clue in advance: "In the current situation, the mansion may have to reduce expenses, and your monthly money may be reduced to what it was before we came to the city."

Wen Yan Wei Qingwan took the lead in saying: "Mother doesn't have to worry, my daughter is willing to take the initiative to cut expenses and tide over the difficulties with the family."

Wei Yichen said in a deep voice: "Mom, from this month onwards, my monthly payment will be halved. I don't need so much. Today I won the Sibaozhai competition and got a month's white paper supply from their store."

Wei Yilin thought for a while and then said: "I don't need any monthly money, as long as I have enough to eat."

All three of the four children spoke, and Wei Ruo, the eldest daughter, was left quietly sitting aside.

Wei Ruo found that everyone was looking at her, so he put down the teacup in his hand unhurriedly, and said, "I don't need to give my monthly money."

As soon as Wei Ruo said this, he put Wei Qingwan, who was the first to express his opinion, on the fire.

As the eldest son of the family, Wei Yichen has the most monthly money, and the Yun family will also subsidize him some extra to facilitate his daily expenses when he goes out with his classmates. If he halved, the remaining money would be enough for his expenses, but he was more frugal in daily life.

Wei Yilin is still young, the monthly money of the servants in his yard is directly given by Yun Shi, and most of the food and clothing are directly purchased by Yun Shi, it doesn't matter if he has monthly money or not.

As for Wei Ruo, she dared to say such a thing because she had money in her hands and a rich family background, and she could still live comfortably without the monthly money given by the public.

Wei Qingwan was the first to express her opinion, but she didn't want Wei Yichen to directly state how much she wanted to reduce the monthly money, which made her seem passive.

Her monthly money is already enough, and she doesn't have as much private money as Wei Qingruo, let alone no monthly money, even if it is halved, it is difficult for her to support her daily expenses.

Wei Mingting said: "It doesn't have to be like this, pawning all the rewards I got last year should last for a while."

Wen Yanyun hurriedly said: "Husband, those are all rewards from the imperial court..."

"The reward is mine once it is given to me, and it is not something that cannot be pawned. It must be the daily expenses of the people in the mansion that are more important."

Wei Mingting didn't mind those things, in contrast he felt that his children should not be treated badly.

"But spreading the word like this..." The Yun family still wanted to save face, if it was known that the Wei family had pawned something rewarded by the court, even if the court had no objection, they would be laughed at.

"There is nothing to be afraid of being laughed at. My Wei family is in such a situation. How many properties and family backgrounds cannot be hidden from others. Nowadays, everyone's life is not easy. It is very common to sell some family assets. I heard that a few days ago Tong San sold a farm in the north of the city, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it."

Wei Mingting doesn't care about other people's eyes, he doesn't have the ability to do so, so there's no need to put up a facade.

Yun Shi didn't know how to answer the words for a while, frowned, and then subconsciously looked in Wei Ruo's direction.

Everyone knows that the eldest daughter has a lot of money. Although it is not a decent thing to borrow money from her daughter, but compared to pawning something rewarded by the court, at least it can be kept from outsiders. As long as outsiders don't know, It doesn't matter whether it's decent or not.
