Blessed Daughter

"My sister should be busy with her studies these days... I don't know the specific daughter. When my sister is in the mansion, she often goes to Yingzhu Garden to talk to my second brother. I have gone to see her a few times and she is not there. It's not very clear..." Wei Qingwan replied.

Wen Yanyun frowned involuntarily: "Ruo'er is thirteen, and Jin Yi is about to be sixteen, it's time to avoid suspicion."

The daughter is not familiar with her legitimate children, but has a good relationship with the concubine in the family, which makes Yun somewhat uncomfortable.

"Mother doesn't have to worry about my sister. My sister is doing things very well now. And didn't my second brother get that letter of recommendation? I want to come here in a few days and wait for the response from Huzhou Prefecture. Second brother will go to Huzhou Prefecture." Wei Wei Qing Wan said.

Hearing this, not only was Yun's unhappy, but his expression darkened again.

It was only later that she found out that Wei Jinyi's box was bought by Wei Ruo, and Wei Ruo filled in the name.

Although there is nothing wrong with this matter, the Yun family does not want to see her daughter treat her brother-in-law so affectionately but she treats her own brother a little distant.

Yun's looked at Wei Qingwan beside him who was helping her, and couldn't help but sighed again.

Listening to Songyuan, Wei Ruo has heard all the relevant rumors and guesses.

Wei Ruo was more worried about Xu Zhengyong's situation than Wei's.

Generally speaking, recruits enter the military camp after a period of training before going to the battlefield, but that is usually, and now the situation is urgent, and he was called into the army urgently because there are not enough manpower, and he will definitely not be given too much time to train adapt.

I don't know if Brother Xiaoyong has handed over the mechanism crossbow, and whether he has been approved.

If it can be recognized, it should be helpful to Brother Xiaoyong's status in the army, and it can also increase our military strength, making Brother Xiaoyong's situation relatively safer.

Xu Zhengyong in the original book did not follow him to Xingshan County, nor did he follow him to fight, so Wei Ruo could not predict Xu Zhengyong's ending.

A bit bored, Wei Ruo came to Yingzhuyuan to look for Wei Jinyi, and when he entered the door, he saw Wei Jinyi playing chess with himself.

Wei Ruo sat down beside him.

She doesn't have much talent for playing chess, especially Go, which is a brain-intensive game. She can only understand the general idea, but she doesn't know how to play it.

"Do you want to try?" Wei Jin also stopped and asked.

"No, no, it's too brain-intensive. I'm not suitable for this." Wei Ruo repeatedly waved his hands and refused.

"Farming is also mind-consuming. Different crops have different planting and maintenance methods, and you can remember them clearly."

"There are specializations in the art industry, and different professions use different brains. Anyway, I can't play chess."

Wei Ruo rested his chin on one hand, looking at the chessboard in front of him thoughtfully.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she wasn't looking at the chess game, but was thinking about other things.

"Is there something on your mind?" Wei Jin also keenly sensed that Wei Ruo's expression was a bit bad today.

"Second brother, did you hear that there is going to be a war?" Wei Ruo asked.

"I heard, sooner or later." Wei Jin also looked calm.

"Second Brother, do you think we can win this battle?" Wei Ruo asked.

"80% chance of winning." Wei Jin also replied.

"Why 80%?"

"Thirty percent for father, 10 percent for the nobleman in Xingshan County today, 20 percent for the additional troops sent by the imperial court, and 20 percent for the good news that came out of the army today." Wei Jin also replied.

"Why does the second brother think that the nobleman in Xingshan County can still take 10%?" Wei Ruo asked curiously.

The biggest role Chu Lan played in this war should be that he asked the imperial court to send more troops to Xingshan County, but why did he alone account for 10% of it?

"He's not just a kid from a rich family. He has brains, knows the art of war, and is good at employing people." Wei Jin also replied.

Wei Ruo looked at Wei Jinyi even more curiously.

She knew what Wei Jinyi said, because that's how Chu Lan was portrayed in the original book.

But why does the second brother who hardly goes out in the mansion make such an accurate assessment.

Wei Jin also noticed that Wei Ruo was looking at him, and explained unhurriedly: "I like to read books, and I also like to hear some rumors. Although I live in a deep house, I know enough about the outside world."

"Second brother, you are really good. If you take the imperial examination, the probability of success is still very high." Wei Ruo became more and more confident in Wei Jin.

Wei Ruo rested his chin in both hands, with an expression of admiration on his face, little stars seemed to pop out of his eyes.

Wei Jin also smiled, and then couldn't help reaching out his right hand to Wei Ruo's head, just as he was about to touch his head, Wei Jin also stopped suddenly.

"Second brother, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing." Wei Jin hurriedly withdrew his hand, and then found a lame excuse, "There are dead leaves on your head."

"However, even if this battle can be won, it does not guarantee my friend's survival." Wei Ruo's worry has not diminished.

Just because the war will be won doesn't mean everyone on the winning side will come back alive.

"Is that the friend you mentioned last time?" Wei Ruo also mentioned a friend last time.

"Well, that's the one. He's joined the army. The last time I was rushing to make medicine for sores, it was for him." Wei Ruo replied.

Joining the army is a man.

And what can make Wei Ruo worry so much must be something unusual.

"Did your friend come to Xingshan County for you?" Wei Jin also asked.

Wei Ruo only came to Xingshan County a few months ago, and since then he has rarely come into contact with outsiders.

So this friend is likely to be known by Wei Ruo when he was in Huzhou Mansion.

"That's right." Wei Ruo replied.

The nanny and Uncle Xu are both here, and brother Xiaoyong must come together.

Wei Jin also lowered his head and fiddled with his chess game again.

For two days in a row, the people living in the east of the city could hear loud noises coming from the east, and sometimes they could even see the flames reaching the sky.

This made the cloud over Xingshan County even thicker.

In the past few days, both the Qian Mansion and the Xie Mansion have suspended classes. Both Wei Qingwan and Wei Ruo stayed at home and did not go out again.

In Songyuan, Wei Ruo was looking at the account books, the "blind box" made Sibaozhai a total of one hundred and twenty-two taels of silver.

Xiumei trotted into the room: "Miss, Nanny Li... Nanny Li has been brought back to the residence!"

"Isn't it less than three months?" Wei Ruo asked.

"I heard that it was the Second Miss who begged, so Nanny Li would be punished by going back to the mansion instead, and an additional three months' monthly fine."

Wei Ruo snorted softly: "There is really a way."

"Miss, Nanny Li is at the gate of our yard right now, and she said she is coming to kowtow to apologize for you." Xiumei frowned, with a bored expression on her face.

Just come back when you come back, why do you still have to come to find it unhappy?

"Let's go to the meeting. It just so happens that I've been very depressed these two days! I'm worried that Brother Xiaoyong's depression has nowhere to go!" Wei Ruo said.
