Chapter 117 – A Father’s Promise

Wei Ruoxin said: you ask me what to do here, want to commend what straight say can not? Have to ask me to open my mouth to say what to do.

Who knew if she would fall into conversation after she opened her mouth to ask for something, the brain circuits of the people in the royal family were ninety-eight degrees, who knew if she would accidentally hit any taboo areas?

Wei Ruo said, “The people’s daughter does not dare to ask for a reward.”

“Since I’ve asked, you just answer, there’s no need to be concerned.” Chu Lan said.

“The reclamation of the wasteland south of the city is for the country and for the people, I’m lucky to be able to let the people eat, my father is an official in the dynasty, eating the king’s salary and taking the king’s worries, I’m my father’s daughter, I should understand the reasoning behind it, and share my father’s worries.” Wei Ruo replied.

Although it is for the country for the people, but you Chu Lan as a prince, reward me a little should not be too much, right? I don’t want anything else, just give me some silver.

This word Wei Ruo can only put aside in the heart to say, face can not dare to say, said for fear of being Chu Lan to grasp the handle.

Wei Ruo’s words touched and shamed Wei Mingting’s heart.

Daughter because was carried wrong, long years raised in the countryside suffered a lot of pain, he as a father has never been able to give her due father’s love and protection; even if it is now back home, he has no time to give her care because of the Japanese matter.

But the daughter is so understanding, so deeply aware.

Chu Lan looked at Wei Ruo and said, “Since Miss Wei has nothing to ask for, then I’ll have to reward Miss Wei with some yellow and white things, I hope Miss Wei won’t find it tacky.”

At that Wei Ruo’s eyes lit up, reward money? That dare to be good ah!

Looking at it this way, this original male lead wasn’t useless, at least she knew to pay the silver when she got things done.

Chu Lan continued, “Also trouble Miss Wei to record all the details of this field from improvement, fertilization, to planting and harvesting quasi don’t a copy to me, I have use for it.”

Wei Ruo knows that Chu Lan intends to report the situation of this test field to the court, her side to provide detailed records, as to how to report is Chu Lan’s thing.

“The relevant records Folk Daughter has been working on, just a little bit of organizing will do.” Wei Ruo said.

Wei Ruo had anticipated that this data might be useful, plus she herself had the habit of making records during the experimental stage, so every time she had come to the south of the city before to survey and go back, she would make records, and if she didn’t have the time to come herself, she would also ask Sister Zhang to report the relevant information to herself.

“Well, I’ll have Sister Qin go to the mansion to get this crucial record from Miss Wei later.” Chu Lan was satisfied with Wei Ruo’s answer.

He likes people who work for him to be clear-headed, organized and efficient.

After Chu Lan praised Wei Ruo, Wei Ruo had A Gui and Xiao Ya start harvesting the rice.

During the harvest, Chu Lan and Zhi Qian had been watching from the side, and from time to time, they even picked up an ear of rice and studied it in their hands.

The harvested rice would be directly sent by Chu Lan to be transported away in a while.

As it was nearing noon, Governor Qian offered to invite Chu Lan and Wei Mingting to dine at his residence.

Chu Lan, however, suggested that he wanted to be a guest at the Wei family, “I’ve heard Jue Xie’s sister mention that Ms. Wei’s maid is an excellent cook, I wonder if I could have the opportunity to taste one or two?”

“Oh? Miss Wei’s personal maid is an excellent cook? Then I’ll have to try it too.” Governor Qian said with excitement.

“This …… is not very clear to me at this time.” Wei Mingting looked to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo chanted in her heart: although Chu Lan took the initiative to ask for dinner at the door of some dogs, but at least there was no direct thing that she would cook, and there was no requirement for her to come and do it for them.

“If Duke Chu and Lord Qian don’t mind, then I can only be respectful.” Wei Ruo said.

Said Wei Ruo to Wei Mingting, “Father, then my daughter will take the first step back to the house and inform the kitchen and my maids to prepare first.”

Wei Mingting said, “Let my father escort you back, this southern part of the city is not absolutely safe.”

The last time the youngest son in the south of the city had things, but also fortunately is the youngest son accident, if the daughter accident he really do not know what to do.

Immediately afterward, Wei Mingting asked Chu Lan and Governor Qian for instructions, “Duke Chu, Lord Qian, please allow me to accompany my daughter to go back to the mansion first to make preparations.”

“Miss Wei’s safety is most important, Lord Wei don’t worry about going.” Chu Lan said.

Immediately after that, Wei Ruo got into the carriage she came in, and Wei Mingting rode in front to escort her.

After walking for a while, Wei Mingting purposely slowed down a bit and came to the carriage, talking to Wei Ruo through the window on the side of the carriage carriage:

“Ruo’er.”

Hearing the voice, Wei Ruo lifted the curtain of the car window, “Father has something to do?”

“In the future, no matter who grants you grace, do not mention anything related to my father. If you want something, you can come by yourself.” Wei Mingting admonished.

“Why did father say that?” Wei Ruo asked.

“For one thing, my father is a military general, and the merits of a military general should be saved by his own strategy and martial arts, so as to be able to convince the public; and for another, my father ……”

Wei Mingting paused, his tone lowered a few points, and continued, “My father does not have any help for you, you can now do this deed, and my father has no relationship, what face does my father have to dip your light?”

Wei Ruo didn’t know how to answer.

Wei Ming Ting continued: “Ruo child, missed more than ten years of time has been irretrievable, for father no matter how to make up for it, the time after, for father can not make any other guarantees, for father can promise you only one thing: no matter what you want to do in the future, want to farm or not, want to plant flowers or not, want to do other things with the general women’s cabinet is not the same thing can be, for father I will support you.”

This is Wei Ming Ting as a father, currently only think of the promise and guarantee to his daughter.

Wei Ruo was somewhat touched, and after a moment’s pause, said, “Many thanks, father.”

After the conversation ended, Wei Mingting returned to the front of the carriage.

Wei Ruo lowered the window curtains and sat inside the carriage with a slight change in mood.

After returning to the Wei Mansion, Wei Ruo found Xiu Mei, who had stayed at home to help Wei Ruo prepare the dry snacks that she was going to give to Wei Jin Yi in the next few days, and spoke to her about the fact that Chu Lan and the Qian Magistrate were going to come to the Wei Mansion to have lunch.

Xiu Mei said, “I don’t have a problem preparing the lunch, if the seventh prince really wants to reward the young lady with a bunch of silver and gold, he will also truthfully report the young lady’s things you did in the south of the city to the court, not to mention making a lunch for him, even doing it for a month is a good idea!”

“I can’t spare a month, I don’t want my Meimei to be so tired! Besides it’s all for him, what am I going to eat?” Wei Ruo said.

“Miss, just bear with it, this is for us to live a free and rich life in the future!” Xiu Mei said.

“Okay, okay, listen to Meimei, let’s go, go to the big kitchen, at this moment, I guess that side is already preparing food.” Wei Ruo said.

While Wei Ruo was talking to Xiu Mei, Wei Mingting also spoke to Yun about the matter.

Hearing that Chu Lan had specified that she wanted Wei Ruo’s maid, Xiu Mei, to cook, Yun was worried, “Does that girl know how to cook? Could it be that Miss Xie’s casual remarks were exaggerated by Mr. Xie, causing a misunderstanding on the part of the Seventh Highness?”
