Chapter 225 – An Invitation to Trekking in the Youth

But because of the public announcement of the government office, the whole city knows that the school lieutenant this credit is the Wei family first eldest daughter Wei Qingruo to earn.

As a result, the name of the Wei family’s first eldest daughter became famous within the noble circles of the Taizhou Prefecture.

Coordinating the plague prevention and control of the entire Taizhou Prefecture was no problem, so wouldn’t the housekeeper be even less of a problem? When a large family selects a daughter-in-law, it depends on both birth and character as well as the ability of the housekeeper.

What’s more, the first daughter of the Wei family was in front of Princess Jingmin’s eyes, so isn’t marrying her home a great honor?

It just so happens that this firstborn daughter is now fourteen and can start talking about marriage.

So just after this year, Yun received several invitations from several ladies.

Yun’s heart rejoiced, they just came to the Prefecture not long, originally worried about not knowing how to stand firm, now it seems that this does not need to worry about.

Yun knew it was time for her to worry about her two daughters’ marriage.

Although according to the husband’s intention, the daughter can be married later, wait until 17 or 18 years before the wedding is not too late, but the matter can be organized now.

Later to marry no problem, but if you wait until seventeen or eighteen has not yet settled on a suitable family, that when the parents really should be anxious, the outside world is also to gossip, do not know that they thought they Wei family girl is what is difficult to hide it.

So Yun called Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan to the front and asked them to prepare well and travel with themselves tomorrow.

“But is it the trekking tour hosted by Mrs. Tongzhi?” Wei Qingwan asked.

She went to school in the same governor’s mansion, and naturally she had heard so much about this.

“That’s right, it’s said to be trekking in the green, but also for compassionate farming. In these two years of poor agricultural harvests, the court is concerned, the governor is worried, Lady Xu’s intention is to take all the ladies and young ladies along to tread the green, to see the people’s farming, and to appreciate the farmers’ difficulties.” Yun explained.

The court heavy agriculture, then the following people are bound to follow this trend to do some heavy agriculture and respect for agriculture moves.

Wei Qingwan nodded, “Mother don’t worry, my daughter will prepare properly.”

Wei Ruo didn’t make a sound from the sidelines.

Yun looked at Wei Ruo and said, “The spring dress that I made for you last New Year’s Eve you remember to wear tomorrow, don’t wear the old shirt anymore.”

These days Wei Ruo often wear plain linen clothes and go out, but also a lot of travel by carriage, and go to the Tianqin Garden, Yun did not say anything.

But tomorrow is with the ladies and young ladies of the houses, if they dress like this again, they will lose the face of the school captain’s house.

“Got it.”

Wei Ruo liked to wear plain linen clothes these days because she would go down to the fields when she had time these days.

The field on the manor she set aside a piece for herself out to plant herself, in order to build up her space experience value faster.

And then Yun instructed Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan a few more times, from their clothing and accessories to their speech and behavior, she hoped that the two of them could do as well as possible.

After a while, I felt that it was all clear before Yun let Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan go back.

###

The next morning, Wei Ruo changed into a new dress made at the end of last year, a light green jacket.

Because it was still a bit cold in the morning and evening these days, Xiu Mei took a thinner cloak and draped it over Wei Ruo.

Winter wear cloak’s is fox fur, this moment’s is a satin material sewn with a thin layer of cotton, this time to wear just right.

Arriving at the door, Yun and Wei Qingwan had also arrived, and the three of them boarded the carriage together, heading towards the Tong Zhi Mansion.

Today, everyone’s destination was not in the Tongzhi Mansion, but the Tongzhi Mansion was the place where everyone gathered.

After waiting for a while at the entrance of the Tong Zhi Mansion, the rest of the family’s carriages also arrived, and then they left the city together to go outside the city.

When we arrived at the place, the group got out of the car and hiked.

The place chosen by Mrs. Tongzhi was the village of Beishan in the south of the city, which was surrounded by farmland, and it was the busy time of the year, when a large number of peasants, young and old, and women alike, were busy in the fields.

The scenery along the way is beautiful and green.

After Wei Ruo got down from the carriage, Mrs. Tong Zhi took the initiative to come up and greet her: ”This is the Wei family’s eldest young lady, right? I’ve heard of Miss Wei’s beauty more than once before, but I’ve never had the chance to see her. Today, when I see you, I realize that it’s better to meet you in person than to see you in person, and the real person is even more beautiful than what they say!”

Mrs. Tongzhi looked at Wei Ruo with a smile on her face.

Wei Ruo responded with a shallow smile.

Immediately after that, Mrs. Tongzhi said to Wei Ruo enthusiastically, “Speaking of which, I really have to thank the Wei Family Miss, thanks to your loquat paste, my eunuch’s old illness has been able to get better, and now it’s already healed for a large part, and the whole person’s vitality is better!”

Previously with Wei Ruo to buy loquat cream of old lady Xu is the same knowledge of Mrs. mother-in-law, sick medicine is her father-in-law, as a daughter-in-law caught the opportunity to thank Wei Ruo since.

“There’s no need to be polite, Mrs. Xu.” Wei Ruo replied, modest and courteous, neither appearing warm nor overly detached.

After Mrs. Xu made a start, several other ladies came up and greeted Wei Ruo.

These ladies were not of low status, but they were all willing to condescend to take the initiative to talk to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo was a little uncomfortable by the enthusiasm of the crowd, she only intended to come to make a soy sauce, just like before, in the party to be a small transparent do not want to have any sense of existence. Who would have thought that today’s situation was different from the past, the enthusiasm of several ladies made her want to be transparent but not transparent.

Yun also did not expect that it was the eldest daughter who was so popular.

On the side of Wei Qingwan’s expression is a little hung up, the side of the people also even if, even with the knowledge of Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Qiu is also so.

She took classes at the Tong Zhi’s mansion and became acquainted with the Tong Zhi family’s daughter and the Qiu family’s daughter, and she had met these two ladies a few times.

Instead, the duo only focused on talking to Wei Qingruo, completely ignoring themselves, this difference in treatment deeply pierced Wei Qingwan’s heart.

After a while, the crowd surrounding Wei Ruo dispersed, and then Mrs. Tongzhi explained today’s itinerary with everyone, and the crowd nodded their heads in agreement after listening.

So the crowd set out on a trek.

Mrs. Tongzhi’s daughter, Xu Yaogun, specially found Wei Qingwan and walked side by side with her.

“Wei Qingwan, your sister is much more powerful than you, look how much my mother and the others like her!” Xu Yaogun said with a bad smile.

At those words Wei Qingwan hung her head down pretending not to hear Xu Yaogun’s voice.

Xu Yaojun continued, “You probably don’t know that my mother was very much in love with your sister before she met her, and wanted her to be my big brother’s proper wife.”

Wei Qingwan froze and paused in her steps.

Seeing Wei Qingwan’s reaction, Xu Yaogun couldn’t help but laugh.

Wei Qingwan pursed her lips and said, “Why are you telling me this?”

Xu Yaogun said, “It’s nothing, just telling you that you’re not as outstanding as you think. There’s no need to put on an air of being a noble and talented woman all day long, I can’t stand it!”
