Chapter 25: Wei Jin Yi is Sick

“But if you were to go and study with someone younger, for my mother’s sake, I’m afraid it would be hard on your heart.” Yun explained.

“Then may I find a gentleman myself?” Wei Ruo asked.

“This ……” Yun revealed a difficult look, “Ruo’er, hiring a female teacher is a very troublesome thing, for one thing, it’s not good to hire a teacher, a learned female teacher won’t easily go to teach in an ordinary family’s mansion, and secondly, the tuition is a not a small expense. ……”

The expenses of the school captain’s mansion were already stretched to the limit, and now there was still the matter of arranging for the eldest son to pay his respects to his teacher, so there was no extra money to hire a special female teacher for Wei Ruo.

“What if I can find a female gentleman who doesn’t have to spend any money?” Wei Ruo asked.

“Ruo’er don’t fool around.” Yun frowned.

“I’m not fooling around, I’m very serious, and if I can really find a teacher who is willing to teach me without binding me to a tutor, will my mother grant me permission not to study with the others.”

“Ruo’er, not to mention whether or not there is a female teacher who is willing to teach you without charging tuition, even finding a female teacher is a very difficult task. You’ve just returned to the mansion, it’s normal that you don’t understand some things, but you have to trust Mother, I will definitely make the best arrangements for you as possible.”

Yun spoke at length.

“I know, but I have to finish the mission in the south of the city first now.” Luckily there was still such an excuse that could be used.

She originally just wanted to solve the food problem in Xingshan County, but she didn’t expect that it would also help her block the matter of going to the governor’s mansion for school.

Yun: “In these few days you are first allowed to go and busy yourself with the south of the city, and behind you try to arrange for the people in the house to do it, while you yourself are going to go to the governor’s house to follow your studies.”

Wei Ruo: “Got it.”

Yun sent Sister Zhang and two longtime workers to give Wei Ruo a hand.

In her heart, Sister Zhang was ten thousand times more reluctant, the south of the city was desolate and there was a great potential danger, these days, who would run outside the south of the city if there was nothing else to do?

Besides, Missy is in a hurry to go farming, her old bones can’t withstand the tossing and turning.

But it was Yun’s order, and she had to follow it.

I thought Wei Ruo would immediately rush to the south of the city with her people, but it turned out that the first order she gave was for them to buy chaff and straw, as well as collect leftovers from the kitchen.

“Eldest Miss, didn’t you promise Master to go to the wasteland south of the city to grow crops? What’s with the chaff and leftovers, are you trying to raise pigs?” Sister Zhang questioned.

“I’m all about planting, you just get it the way I want it, plus I need a bunch of well-sealed barrels to store the stuff.”

Wei Ruo’s request clouded Sister Zhang’s mind, completely at a loss as to what she was trying to do here.

Seeing Sister Zhang’s skeptical face, she didn’t move for a long time.

“Sister Zhang, mother sent you here to assist me, not to question me, if I fail to do so, I will explain myself to father and mother.” Wei Ruo’s attitude was strong, not to be trifled with.

“Old slave knows.” Sister Zhang pressed down the dissatisfaction in her heart and nodded her head.

What can be done? Who made the master and madam both extraordinarily tolerant of the eldest young lady?

She wouldn’t dare mention it if she had a problem with it!

Inside Wang Mei Yuan, Wei Qing Wan learned of the things Wei Ruo had been busy with lately, as well as the fact that her mother had postponed the arrangement for her to go to the governor’s mansion to attend classes with them.

“Sister, Sister goes to the fields all day long, if word gets out, will it not be good for her reputation?” Wei Qingwan asked Sister Li beside her.

“That is naturally a bad reputation. But Miss also don’t worry too much, originally Miss from the countryside back, stained with a countryman’s habits, this moment can learn some rules not to make a fool of themselves in front of outsiders is not bad, is absolutely not able to do like Miss you such a sensible and reasonable.”

“It’s not like that, elder sister also has elder sister’s advantages, last time her dried sweet potatoes and dried potato chips won everyone’s praise and love.” Wei Qingwan murmured.

“That’s not much of a compliment, those ladies and young ladies just happened to be hungry and casually complimented her. She can’t rely on dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato chips to save her reputation for the rest of her life.”

Sister Li showed great disdain for Wei Ruo’s last time being praised by everyone.

Wei Qingwan hung her head slightly, and after listening to Sister Li’s evaluation of Wei Ruo, she couldn’t help but feel better.

###

For several days in a row, Wei Ruo was very busy, busy arranging various preparations for the improvement of the wasteland south of the city.

At night, I almost always fall asleep and sleep until the sky is full.

That night, Wei Ruo went to sleep early as usual.

was asleep when a sharp knock on the door roused her from her slumber.

She straightened her upper body and poked her head toward the outhouse, hearing the door open and knowing it was Xiu Mei who had gone out to answer it.

After a while, Xiu Mei returned to the house.

“Miss, you’re awake?”

“What’s all the ruckus?”

“It was Xiao Bei, who lives in Ying Zhu Yuan, who came knocking at the door, saying that their young master had fallen ill.”

“Go find a doctor when you’re sick, what are you doing knocking on my courtyard door?” Wei Ruo was puzzled.

“Xiao Bei said they went to the people in the mansion wanting them to help find a doctor, but no one took care of him, he had no choice but to beg to come to our courtyard.”

Welcome Bamboo Garden has no status in the school captain’s residence, so the subordinates dare to see the wind to make the rudder to neglect them.

Although Wei Ruo has just returned to the Wei family soon, but the status in the house is obviously higher than that of Wei Jin, no matter how people think of her in their hearts, they always dare not neglect her in person.

It is estimated that Xiao Bei is feeling that Wei Ruo’s words are better than theirs before he begs to come to Wei Ruo.

“Meimei, help me get my clothes.”

Wei Ruo got down from the bed and dressed before hurrying towards the door.

Xiao Bei was still waiting at the entrance of Listening Pine Court, when he saw Wei Ruo come over, he quickly knelt down and begged, “Miss, I beg you to save my young master, he is so hot, if he continues like this, he will not be well! If you go and tell the people in the mansion, they might agree to hire a doctor for the young master.”

Xiao Bei is really at his wits’ end. He has to find a doctor from the family’s custodial sister, but he can’t even see the custodial sister’s face.

And His Lordship hadn’t returned to the house for a few days because he was busy fighting the Japanese.

When he thought about it, he could only think of Wei Ruo, this eldest young lady who had sent something to their young master twice in a row was the only person left in this mansion who could possibly help their young master!

“Alright I know, you get up first, you take me to see your young master first.”

“Okay, okay, Missy you come with me.”

Xiao Bei led Wei Ruo back to Welcome Bamboo Court with quick steps.

Entering the main house in the courtyard, Wei Ruo saw Wei Jin Yi, who was lying on the bed in a conscious coma.

His skin color was already on the pale side, and his face was even more bloodless at this moment, as white as paper.

Wei Ruo reached out and touched Wei Jin Yi’s forehead, and it rolled.

“Your young master has been sick for a few days now, right?” Wei Ruo asked.
