Chapter 278 – The Wei family’s father and daughter are the same.

Sister Qin can hear that this is Wei Ruo’s words of excuse, if the Wei family’s eldest miss is really like what she just said that is a rule-following girl, when the Xingshan County things she will not be in charge.

As for the word luck, it is even more nonsense, at that time, many of the instructions of the big girl of the Wei family were conveyed down by her, whether it is luck or ability she naturally has a number.

However, Sister Qin also knew that she was asking for help for the Seventh Prince, not to offend anyone, so when Wei Ruo repeatedly showed reluctance, Sister Qin knew that it was not good to force the other party to be unhappy.

“Eldest girl doesn’t need to rush back to me, you can reconsider in these few days, if you change your mind, then send someone to send a letter to seventh highness.” Sister Qin said.

“Okay, I’ll think about it.” Wei Ruo promised with her mouth.

While Sister Qin and Wei Ruo were talking in the backyard, Wei Mingting was also entertaining Chu Lan in the front yard.

Wei Mingting hadn’t been to the barracks for some days because of his injuries.

Chu Lan came over today, firstly to visit him, and secondly to talk to him about the recent affairs of the army.

After the relevant matters were talked about, Chu Lan informed Wei Mingting of the other purpose of today – to ask the Wei family’s eldest girl to help continue with the soil improvement.

“I can’t answer for my Ruo’er in this matter, Your Highness.” Wei Mingting stated.

“But still, I hope that Lord Wei can help mention this matter with the eldest girl.” Chu Lan said.

“Didn’t His Highness send someone to the backyard to see my daughter? I’m sure that Sister will make things clear to my daughter, so I’m not going to say anything more. As Your Highness knows, I’m familiar with things in the military camp, but I’m really not sure about things outside the camp. Since I’m not clear, I’m not in a position to make decisions for my daughter.”

Wei Mingting was adamant, not intending to interfere with any of his daughter’s decisions.

Chu Lan no longer forced himself, but only mentioned, “Lord Wei, you haven’t been back to the capital for many years, right? Recently, there was a Commander Commander’s post in the capital that became vacant.”

Wei Mingting’s face remained calm: “It is true that I have not been able to go back for some years, it is I who am an unfilial son.”

From Wei Mingting’s face Chu Lan wasn’t able to tell whether he really didn’t understand or pretended not to.

Seeing that the matter could not be talked about with a result, Chu Lan also stopped dwelling on it, so he said, ”Then, this is how it is going to be today, and I won’t continue to disturb Lord Wei as he recuperates from his injuries.”

Wei Mingting got up, “Your humble servant will see your highness off.”

“No need, Lord Wei has not yet recovered from his old wounds, please rest more, the Anti-Japanese Army still needs Lord Wei.”

After Chu Lan said that, he left the lieutenant’s mansion with his own attendants.

Sister Qin, who had come out afterward, caught up with Chu Lan’s sedan chair and returned to Chu Lan across the sedan chair.

“She refused?” Chu Lan asked.

“Yes, the eldest Wei family girl politely declined.” Sister Qin answered truthfully.

“Have you told her everything you need to tell her?”

“I’ve said that I’ve mentioned everything that should be mentioned, old slave.”

“This Wei family father and daughter are in the same mold.”

Through the sedan chair, just by listening to the voice, Sister Qin didn’t know if their Highnesses were angry with the Wei family’s father and daughter.

After a while, I heard Chu Lan’s voice from inside the sedan chair: “You can run again in a couple of days, bring some gifts for me, and persuade me more. This father and daughter two people although hard nature, but are talented people, in this time of internal trouble and external trouble, his father and daughter two people can be useful.” ….

“The old slave knows.” Sister Qin led the way.

On this side, Sister Qin had just left, and on the back foot, Mrs. Yuan’s personal maid, Light Yi, arrived and invited Wei Ruo to the residence by order of Mrs. Yuan.

So Wei Ruo took Xiu Mei on the carriage that came from the governor’s residence.

Wei Qingwan stood at the side entrance and watched the carriage that picked up Wei Ruo leave.

Beside her, Sister Li said softly to Wei Qingwan, “Our eldest young lady is really getting more and more capable nowadays, one moment she is the person of the Seventh Prince, and the next moment she is the person of County Princess Jingmin, there is really no one in our school captain’s mansion who is more scenic than her nowadays!”

Listening to Sister Li’s words, Wei Qingwan did not

There was anger, but whispered back, “Sister has this ability, the blame is only on me for not being as skilled as I am.”

“It’s not because of the good times that her skills are useful now that the weather is not favorable, the crops are not good, and there is not enough food to eat; if this were in the past, how would she be able to get on the stage?”

These days Yun’s because of the things on the manor and re-activated Sister Li, Sister Li recently busy running in and out of the manor just to be busy with the things on the manor.

Therefore, Sister Li is very clear about how the situation is outside recently, and naturally knows why Wei Ruo can become the meat and potatoes in the eyes of all the nobles.

“Luck is also a skill of my sister.” Wei Qingwan said.

“Miss, you can’t think like that, you’ll lose completely if you think like that.” Sister Li worried.

“I don’t compare these with her.” Wei Qingwan said in a bland tone.

Sister Li looked at Wei Qingwan in disbelief, since the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, their young lady had no interest in the affairs of the eldest young lady, and there was no reaction to seeing the eldest young lady favored, this appearance made her very worried.

Her daughter is the young lady’s personal maid, in the future, most likely to be the young lady’s dowry, the young lady married good or bad directly affects her daughter’s future, she does not want the young lady to give up on this, atrophy.

“Miss, you mustn’t be discouraged, you’re much better than her, and you’ll definitely be able to find a better husband than her in the future,” said Sister Li. Sister Li was busy persuading her.

“There’s no harm in it, what my sister wants to marry is her business, it has nothing to do with me.” Wei Qingwan’s tone was calm, completely devoid of jealousy.

After saying that, Wei Qingwan turned around and walked towards the mansion, leaving behind Sister Li looking bewildered not knowing why their young lady had such a change of heart.

Wei Ruo arrived at the governor’s residence and went straight to the backyard where Mrs. Yuan lived, accompanied by Light Yi.

Inside the house, Sheng’er was staggering towards Mrs. Yuan.

The little guy is a little over a week old and already walking, just a little wobbly when he walks, like a concubine, which is adorable to say the least.

Wei Ruo didn’t interrupt and watched from the sidelines as Sheng’er pounced into Mrs. Yuan’s arms.

Mrs. Yuan walked towards Wei Ruo with Sheng’er in her arms, “Ruo’er sister you’re here.”

“Uh-huh.” Wei Ruo nodded with a shallow smile.

Sheng Ge’er was also smiling at Wei Ruo, his white and tender little face, a pair of big round eyes, smiling and his mother were almost carved out of the same mold.

Mrs. Yuan smiled and said, “Brother Sheng smiles every time he sees Sister Ruo’er, probably because he remembers that Sister Ruo’er is his savior.”

Wei Ruo teased Sheng’er and praised, “Sheng’er is so handsome and looks like madam.”

“Only these eyes look like me, the rest follows his father.” Mrs. Yuan laughed.

“It’s all good.”

After chatting for a while about Shengge’er, Mrs. Yuan let someone carry Shengge’er down, and pulled Wei Ruo aside to talk about business.
