Chapter 174 – Ruo’er is too kind.

After Yun asked, Wei Ruo didn’t make a sound, and Wei Qingwan answered first.

Wei Qingwan said a lot very seriously, and based on her knowledge of the old uncle and old madam in the Zhongyi Burial Mansion, she mentioned a lot of her own opinions.

“Tea this item can increase some, grandfather likes to drink tea, this year the price of tea is also cheaper than in previous years; there is also grandfather like purple sand tea set should not find a way to put a set in?”

Wei Qingwan so mentioned also because this year’s situation at home is really different, the father was promoted to the sixth grade, if again as in previous years that there is nothing to get out of the object, I’m afraid that some of them can not be said.

Wei Qingwan knows that the mansion is not rich nowadays, but she also knows that Yun’s mind, as a daughter-in-law this time is certainly not cheap.

Yun nodded, “I do have that intention.”

Immediately after Wei Qingwan added: “But my daughter also knows that this year, because of the bad harvest on the manor, there are some problems with the income and expenditure in the mansion, and my daughter is willing to take out her own silver money to buy her grandparents a yearly gift.”

Hearing this Yun was a bit surprised and touched, “Wanwan, those are your personal belongings.”

Wei Qingwan replied firmly: “As a granddaughter, I should prepare some annual gifts for my grandparents to fulfill my filial piety. What’s more, Wei Ruo’s grandparents and parents, without Zhongyi Bo, how could I be who I am today? All of my belongings are from the Wei family.”

“Wanwan you have a heart.” Yun couldn’t help but look full of relief.

“Mother is overstating it, this is what a daughter should do.” Wei Qingwan’s gaze was glistening, her voice soft and her tone sincere.

Yun was very satisfied with Wei Qingwan’s answer, and immediately afterward inquired about Wei Ruo: “Does Ruo’er have any thoughts on this annual gift list?”

Wei Ruo hiding lazy, do not want to think more, only casually looked at the eyes and said, “Mother to make a decision on it, this aspect must be mother is more experienced than us.”

Wei Ruo’s can’t be said to be wrong, it just slightly seems a bit perfunctory.

So Yun said to Wei Ruo again, “Ruo’er, your grandparents still love you very much, we still can’t go back to the capital for New Year’s Eve this year, and this New Year’s gift represents our thoughts, so think about it seriously again and help come up with some ideas.”

Yun also does not require the eldest daughter can take out their own private self with the same as Wan Wan for grandparents to add the annual gift, just want her to be more serious to help think about this issue, after all, in the future she married to be in charge of the feeder, that the New Year’s Eve relatives to and from the gifts are to be prepared for her as the main mother of the family, these things are still to be familiar with up as early as possible.

Wei Ru was prepared: “Mother, before the nobleman rewarded me with something when I have already set aside a gift for my grandparents in advance, but because those things are fragile and not good for transportation, I thought of waiting for the next time the family to the capital to send something together and let go by water to bring it over.”

With that, he pulled out the list from his arms and gave it to Yun.

Wei Qingwan looked at the list Wei Ruo handed up in surprise, she had prepared it earlier?

Wei Ruo took in Wei Qingwan’s reaction and could see that she was surprised and indignant.

It wasn’t that she was intentionally trying to compare herself to Wei Qingwan.

This gift to Old Uncle and Old Madam was already prepared when she received Chu Lan’s reward, and it was planned then to be brought along when the school captain’s residence sent a gift to the capital.

Yun took over Wei Ruo’s list and looked at it, in addition to some porcelain tea sets rewarded by the Seventh Prince, Wei Ruo also came with piggybacks of dried sweet potatoes, sweet potato slices, shiitake mushroom sauce, and other eats that had recently become popular in Taizhou Province.

These things were not expensive, but they were better because they were local specialties, and they were currently not expected to be popularized over in the capital.

Giving these is a great way to show your thoughts and have a local flavor, which is most appropriate.

Yun was overjoyed, “Ruo’er is really too thoughtful.”

If Wei Qingwan’s willingness to take out her private money to add to the annual gift made Yun feel relieved, then Wei Ruo’s gift list was a surprise and delight to Yun.

Wei Ruo faintly said, “It’s nothing, my grandparents loved me dearly and gifted me beautiful things several times, this is what should happen.”

Wei Ruo doing this had nothing to do with Yun, it was purely because the two old men in the capital were still pretty good to her.

Regardless of the two old men’s intentions to be kind to her, it was true that they had given her the name of eldest daughter and several gifts.

“Ruo’er is a piece of filial piety, your grandparents will be very happy when they know.” Yun said with a smile on her face.

After that, Yun discussed with Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan for a while about the details of the gift list and the details of the house’s purchase of New Year’s goods.

And Wei Qingwan’s face was devoid of the smile from before, and the expression on her face was a bit stiff when she answered several times.

###

On the second day, Wei Ruo went out again.

The small workshop she had built on the vacant lot on the manor had been completed, and today she was going over to inspect it.

On the way, Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei performed a disguise and dressed up as the last time they went to see Fan Cheng Xu.

Because he would be dealing with quite a few outsiders when he went to inspect the newly built workshop today, Wei Ruo’s current situation was not suitable for him to show his face to avoid being caught in the act.

When they arrived at the manor, the two little girls who were on the bus became two ugly-looking little dudes when they got off.

Because he knew that Wei Ruo was coming, Steward Yu waited at the entrance of the manor in advance, and when he saw the two young gentlemen coming down from the carriage, Steward Yu froze.

“Steward Yu.” Wei Ruo opened her mouth and called out to Steward Yu.

Hearing the familiar voice, Steward Yu then reacted to the fact that the young gentleman in front of him was their current proprietor.

“Miss, why do you look like this?” Steward Yu asked.

“I’m meeting with many workers today, and my daughter’s body is much more inconvenient. I’d also like to trouble Steward Yu to address me as Mr. Xu when he introduces me to people later.” Wei Ruo said.

“Yes, yes, yes, or Miss …… ah no, Gongzi thought it through!”

Immediately after that, Steward Yu took Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei to the place in the manor where Wei Ruo’s small workshop was constructed.

The original open space of the manor has five more houses built with yellow clay mixed with stones and straw, which is Wei Ruoxin’s new workshop.

“Miss, these houses are all built according to your requirements and design drawings.” Steward Yu said.

According to Wei Ruo’s request, something special was built inside each room.

There were large stoves, large shelves, half walls made of earth and stone, and some oddly shaped things that were impossible to see for a moment exactly what they were for.

Wei Ruo was very satisfied after inspecting the house, which was supervised by Uncle Xu, so she was very assured of the quality of the house.

Wei Ruo then asked Steward Yu, “How’s the selection of the person I asked you to help me pick?”

When she came here once before, Wei Ruo asked Steward Yu to choose a few reliable long laborers from the manor who could work on the ground and arrange them to be in the newly built small workshop behind her.
