Chapter 214 – Rabbit Lanterns

Wei Yi Chen explained, “For one thing, it’s true that big sister doesn’t have much time, the plague matter is so complicated that big sister is busy from morning to night everyday; for another, I think big sister doesn’t want us to worry about her too much. Nowadays, all these things are still told to me by people sent by Mrs. Yuan, if it was the eldest sister, she might still be thinking of hiding it from us.”

This was not conveyed by Mrs. Yuan, but by Wei Yi-chen’s own conjecture.

Hearing this Yun’s heart no longer has half of the feelings of complaint and dissatisfaction towards Wei Ruo, only shame and worry remain.

“I didn’t think that Ruo’er she was actually working and busy for such a big event, I really was wrong to wrong her.”

On a rare occasion, Yun admitted his mistake.

After all, it’s too big a deal, and the daughter is in danger, and if she gets it wrong, she might not come back.

Wei Yi Chen also said, “As an elder brother, I am both proud and a little ashamed, studying for the sake of benefiting the people and pleading for the people, and my elder sister has already done this before me.”

Yun couldn’t help but be touched in her heart as she listened to Wei Yi Chen’s words.

Perhaps the eldest daughter really did resemble her husband a bit more, it was just a pity that she was not a male, or she might have been a better successor to her husband than Eirin.

Wei Qingwan looked at Yun’s and Wei Yi Chen’s expressions and couldn’t help but hang her head again.

She originally thought that Wei Qingruo’s behavior would inevitably provoke her mother’s anger and her big brother’s resentment, but she didn’t expect to get a diametrically opposite result.

Her right hand couldn’t help but squeeze the hem of her skirt, and her heart couldn’t help but be taken over by feelings of chagrin and sadness.

###

The 15th day of the first month, the Lantern Festival.

Mrs. Yuan sent a large table of good food to the small courtyard to treat the people who had worked hard for more than half a month.

Dr. Cheng made the decision to let all the people take a break, sit down and have a good meal, eat and drink enough to nourish the spirit to do things better.

A few people sat at the table, compared to when they first came here, nowadays a few people are slimming down next year, even Wei Ruo is not an exception.

Luckily, we are all strong and have not been infected so far, and no one is exhausted.

Although everyone was still busy these days and did not dare to have the slightest relaxation, their appetites and moods were much better than before, because the situation was improving, with patients recovering every day and the number of patients decreasing day by day.

Therefore, when faced with this table of good dishes, the appetite of the crowd was also obviously much better.

Looking at the chickens, ducks, fish and meat in front of him, Dr. Cai of Baoshantang lamented, “Although these past few days have been a bit busy and tiring, but the Sheriff Master has not treated us poorly at all, and the daily meals are all very plentiful, with fish and meat. Compared to those starving and freezing to death outside, we don’t know how much happier we are.”

This doctor in fact before and Wei Ruo had a one-sided relationship, is Wei Ruo followed the cloud’s first time to the capital city, in order to not let Wei Qingwan continue to annoy their own, Wei Ruo pretended to be sick, and then the cloud’s invited the doctor to Wei Ruo diagnosis. At that time, the doctor was Dr. Cai of Baoshantang.

Only when Dr. Cai diagnosed Wei Ruo through the veil, did not see Wei Ruo’s face, even if he had seen, now Wei Ruo disguise, he could not recognize.

Dr. Cheng sighed, “Let’s not think about this for now, these will be done by the people from the government offices, all we can do is the work we have on hand today, and if we can survive one more, it’s one more.”

The rest of them nodded.

After lunch, a few more people took a short break.

Dr. Cheng sought an opportunity to speak with Wei Ruo, “Young Duke Xu should pay more attention to rest.”

“I’m fine, I’m young, Dr. Cheng is the one who should take care of his health.” Wei Ruo said.

Dr. Cheng smiled, then said with a kind face, “You’re a good boy, but in the end, you’re a girl, there are times when it’s appropriate to be a little softer and not have to be so strong in everything that you’re really like a man.”

Wei Ruo revealed a surprised expression.

Dr. Cheng has found out she’s a girl?

Was her disguise such a failure? Even after using a disguise of disguise, she was still recognized?

See out Wei Ru expression in the surprise, Cheng doctor explained: “Xu small male disguise is very good, just started to contact things I was not found at all, but in the end, together with half a month, and I am a doctor for many years of medical practice, to see people have their own unique vision, so it can not be hidden.”

Dr. Cheng added: “But don’t worry, I know that you are so there must be a reason, and certainly will not disclose your secret, and will not be because you are a woman and belittle you half a point, on the contrary, more so that the old man admired. Today with you through, but also just hope that you take good care of yourself. Don’t blame me for this old man’s superficiality, in the old man’s eyes, girls are born to be a bit more delicate than boys when it comes to their bodies.”

Dr. Cheng is already more than fifty years old, and Wei Ruo after this year just fourteen, in the eyes of Dr. Cheng, Wei Ruo and his granddaughter is almost as big as the child, so can not help but more than a few points of love.

Listening to Dr. Cheng’s words, Wei Ruo’s heart that had just hung up fell back.

“Thank you, Dr. Cheng.” Wei Ruo thanked.

“What are you saying to me about thank you, it should be us all thanking you, these days you have made indelible contributions for all of us, and even for the people of the whole city.” Dr. Cheng seriously said.

Wei Ruo smiled, and then the two of them continued to be busy.

At a quarter past midnight, Wei Ruo was planning to go to sleep.

Wei Jin Yi suddenly appeared at the door of Wei Ruo’s room carrying a rabbit lantern.

“Lanterns? Where did that come from?” Wei Ruo was surprised.

This year the Prefecture had canceled everything that had to do with the Lantern Festival, almost no one was selling lanterns anymore, and even if they were, Ergo was just like them nowadays not being able to freely come into contact with outsiders.

“Done.” Wei Jin also replied.

“You did this?” Wei Ruo was even more surprised.

“Uh-huh.”

“Second brother your hands are too clever, this later if you can’t read, open a small store to sell lanterns is also able to support yourself.” Wei Ruo said.

Wei Jin didn’t answer either, and Wei Ruo continued, “Then why the rabbit lanterns?”

“You said the rabbit meat is delicious.” Wei Jin also replied.

Also wanted spicy.

Wei Ruo remembered that she had said something like this before when they were in the mansion.

But the thought of making her a rabbit lantern for that reason is really chic!

Wei Ruo couldn’t help but laugh out loud, then took the special rabbit lantern from Wei Jin Yi’s hand, “Thank you, second brother.”

“Well, rest early.” Wei Jin also didn’t stay long.

Tomorrow, Wei Ruo still has to get up early and still has to run around and be busy. Wei Jin also didn’t want to affect her precious rest time anymore.

After Wei Jin Yi left, Wei Ruo closed the door to her room and hung the rabbit lantern to the window where she could see it at a glance when she was lying in bed.

Looking at the lanterns, the corners of Wei Ruo’s mouth couldn’t help but rise, then fell into a deep sleep with a smile on her face.
