Chapter 227 – Meeting the Students of An Zhou College

Listening to the crowd praising Wei Ruo with your words and mine, Yun felt honored and in a good mood.

Wei Qingwan’s face was unspeakably ugly, they were all “Miss Wei”, as if Wei Qingruo was the only “Miss Wei” present.

Being praised Wei Ruo can only smile, for these compliments Wei Ruo did not put too much on the heart.

Leaving aside the fact that these people’s compliments to her had a few moments of sincerity in them, the fact that she had helped the villagers of Xishan Village in the first place itself was not there for the sake of fame.

A few people continued to move forward, and came to a fence surrounded courtyard, which was pre-booked by Mrs. Tong Zhi, for the people to temporarily rest their feet, and to have a meal.

She brought a group of ladies and young ladies out for a walk, it is impossible to really walk for a day. We are all pampered, not to mention walking for a day, or even an hour can not eat.

The courtyard is not small, the front yard is open, surrounded by a fence, there are seven or eight houses, and a peach blossom planted on one side, not like a general farmhouse, more like a rich man built specifically for leisure time to rest with.

The words of Mrs. Tongzhi afterward also confirmed this conjecture of Wei Ruo.

The compound was built ten years ago by the old master of the Xu family for summer recreation.

In order to welcome a group of ladies and young ladies, Mrs. Tong Zhi has already sent someone to clean up in advance, and also left a few people to wait here, preparing tea and cakes for the ladies and young ladies invited by her.

In the courtyard, there were a few eight-imperial tables set up in the open air, and after the people entered the courtyard, they were greeted by Mrs. Tongzhi and took their respective seats.

Yun brought Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan to sit down in a more corner seat.

Seeing Wei Qingwan’s poor color, Yun asked with concern: “Is Wanwan not feeling well? But did you catch a cold?”

“I’m fine, just a little tired.” Wei Qingwan replied with an ugly face.

“That’s good, get some rest.” Yun was relieved.

Then Yun looked at Wei Ruo, her eyes kind with a sense of pride, “Ruo’er has done a good job today.”

Wei Ruo didn’t answer, looking out of the fence wall somewhat.

At this time a sound of hoofbeats came from far and near, and far away a group of young gentlemen rode through the place.

Wei Ruo saw Wei Yichen’s figure among the crowd, and among the other people, there was Lu Yuhong who was also a familiar face.

Recently, Chu Lan’s people were in the Taizhou Prefecture, so Lu Yuhong’s appearance here wasn’t a big surprise.

Wei Ruo looked carefully, there was no figure of Chu Lan among the crowd. Very good, the less obnoxious guys the better the mood.

Yun and Wei Qingwan also saw Wei Yi Chen.

“Mother, that seems to be big brother!” Wei Qingwan was a bit excited.

“Well, it’s your elder brother.” Yun confirmed and guessed, “It should be the students of An Zhou Academy traveling together.”

While Yun and the others were looking at Wei Yichen, Wei Yichen and the people he was traveling with also saw the women in the compound.

Many of these, like Wei Yi Chen, had family members in the courtyard.

A few people stopped, and because of the difference between men and women, none of them approached hastily.

Among them, Xu Feng Yuan, the eldest son of the family of Xu Tongzhi, said, “Today it should be my mother who invites all the ladies to tread the green here, so I’ll go over to say hello.”

And then, Xu Fengyuan rolled over and dismounted, coming to the entrance of the compound.

Mrs. Tongzhi came out from inside and was full of joy when she saw her son.

“The son has met his mother.”

“Since you and your fellow students are on the way here, why don’t you stay and rest your feet and have a cup of tea, there is a separate courtyard from the front courtyard from the side entrance.” Mrs. Tong Zhi said.

It is all grown men and women who are not allowed to stay in one place.

“Okay, then I’ll go ask my fellow students what they mean.”

XuFengYuan finished then go back to ask the meaning of the crowd, the crowd said just also some thirsty tired, just sit down to rest rest.

And then the people all tied their horses’ ropes to the open space in front of the courtyard, and under the leadership of the Xu family’s subordinates, they entered through the compound’s side door to the small courtyard in the backyard.

After the figures of several people had all disappeared, Wei Qingwan subconsciously looked at Wei Ruo, who was sitting in the seat opposite her.

Combined with what Xu Yaogun had just said, it was hard for her not to believe that the chance encounter with the Tongzhi family’s son and his party was not a deliberate arrangement by Mrs. Tongzhi.

If that’s true, then wouldn’t Wei Qingruo have to ……

Although Yun didn’t hear Xu Yaogun’s words, in the end, she was a person from the past, and when she saw this, she had a similar guess in her heart.

Knowing that it might be a deliberate arrangement, Yun was not only not unhappy, but her heart rejoiced. This An Zhou Academy’s male son is very outstanding regardless of his birth and learning.

It is naturally excellent to be able to choose your daughter’s future husband from here.

At this time, Xu Yaogun ran over to Wei Ruo and the three of them and invited Wei Qingwan, “Qingwan, let’s go over there together. The peach blossoms are all in bloom, it’s a good time to enjoy the flowers.”

Xu Yaogun pointed at the peach blossom forest inside the compound.

Just now when there were no elders around, Xu Yaogun made a sneer at Wei Qingwan, and now that there were elders around, Xu Yaogun was the one who counted and befriended Wei Qingwan.

Wei Qingwan opened her mouth and refused, “Or not, it’s rare for me to come out with my mother and sister, or to accompany my mother and sister to talk together.”

Xu Yaogun said, “But today is a rare day to come out and play, and it’s rare for peach blossoms to bloom so well.”

Xu Yaogun had a good reason, and Wei Qingwan didn’t know how to refuse for a moment.

Yun listened to the conversation between the two and opened her mouth to persuade Wei Qingwan to go together, “Wanwan, today is out to play, there is no need to be so formal, and your fellow students to go enjoy the flowers together.”

Wei Qingwan bit her lip, not daring to let Yun know that she actually did not get along well with her fellow students, so she nodded her head in resignation and agreed.

A treacherous smile appeared on Xu Yaogun’s face.

Erhu she looked at Wei Ruo again and extended an invitation to Wei Ruo as well, “Miss Wei Da also join us.”

Wei Ruo shook her head, “I won’t go, I’m a bit more interested in your family’s tea and pastries.”

Xu Yaogun said, “These are just some very ordinary teas and pastries, they are not worth your fine taste, it’s better to join us!”

Yun also said, “Ruo’er should come along too.”

Wei Ruo was resolute: “No, after walking for such a long time, I’m already tired, let me rest.”

Wei Ruo is not Wei Qingwan, good face, can not wipe the face. She did not want to go, more than one reason, would rather admit that their physical strength is not good to see the world Wei Ruo is not willing to commit themselves to do not want to do things.

What’s more, Wei Ruo had already smelled a hint of something bad.

This kind of plot unfolding would be the beginning of the cannon fodder female supporting cast looking for trouble with the female lead in the original.

Whether it was or not, Wei Ruo didn’t want to get involved. She didn’t have the energy to play this kind of game with them.

As for whether Wei Qingwan would be pitched, it had nothing to do with her. As long as they didn’t pull her down, feel free to toss them around.

“Whatever then!” Xu Yaogun didn’t have much patience for Wei Ruo, and when she repeatedly refused, she stopped ignoring her.
