Chapter 303: Your second brother asked you to wait for him.

The remaining 20% of the fields in the Younan farm are now planted with taro produced in Wei Ruospace.

Since the people in the manor were not very familiar with the cultivation of water taro, Wei Ruo had to go over to the fields from time to time to make sure that the taro was in good condition, in case there were pests and diseases and other unexpected problems.

Therefore, early this morning, Wei Ruo will go out early, first went to the Younan farm, will things are busy, and then back to the city.

By the time Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei returned to Tian Qin Yuan, it was already almost noon.

The three Yuan sisters had all gone to have their meals at the moment, and Mr. Wang Caiwei was still sitting in the schoolhouse.

Seeing Wei Ruo, Wang Caiwei waved at her to signal her to come to her.

Wei Ruo came to Wang Caiwei’s front and bowed in apology, “I’m sorry Mr. Wang, I’ve delayed another half day of class today.”

“There is no need to apologize every time, I have said it before, what you have done is more profound than what you get from books, I am supporting you to be so.” Wang Caiwei said.

“Many thanks, sir.” Wei Ruo was still grateful for Mr. Wang’s understanding.

Wang Caiwei then said to Wei Ruo, “Your elder brother wrote me back, he said to tell you to wait, he’ll be back in a couple of days, and that thing you said, he’ll help you with it when he comes back, so that you don’t do anything else stupid.”

“He may not be able to help me in this matter, Second Brother.”

Wei Ruo thought that the second brother could stop the idea of Yun’s marriage with the Xu family this time, not necessarily the next time.

In the world she’s in now, women have to get married when they’re old enough, especially if they’re in a big family, and they can’t make their own decisions about marriage.

Even if you were to become a nun, you wouldn’t be allowed to stay in a boudoir.

So the second brother couldn’t help her with the root of the problem, and ultimately he had to go and find a suitable candidate for her to marry.

Wang Caiwei didn’t understand Wei Ruo’s thoughts on the matter, and could only convey Wei Jin Yi’s meaning by saying, “You can trust your second brother’s, since he said so, he will definitely do what he said, you don’t have to worry too much.”

“I know.”

Wei Ruo didn’t continue to argue, and finding a suitable candidate was no longer the most urgent at the moment, as the Xu family had already stated their position, and the Yun family had also loosened their lips.

So the priority was to find a way to sabotage the marriage going forward, rather than finding what she thought was a more suitable marriage partner.

The three sisters of the Yuan family came back from lunch and when they saw that Wei Ruo had returned, the three sisters surrounded them.

“Ruoruo, I heard that the Xu family seems to be looking for a matchmaker to go to your house recently, is that true or not?” Yuan Jiuniang inquired.

“I’ve heard that too.” Wei Ruo replied.

Yes, she had heard that as well, since Yun hadn’t formally mentioned it to her yet.

Probably Yun also knew what kind of reaction she would have if she was approached to talk about it, so she simply didn’t look for her to talk about it and just got it over with, so that she couldn’t refuse even if she wanted to.

After all, marriage is always a matter of parents’ orders and matchmakers’ words, and it is not her turn to express her opinion.

“Huh? Ruo Ruo how is it that you heard about it?” Yuan Shinniang was puzzled.

“Probably because it’s not my turn to make decisions on marriage matters.” Wei Ruo said.

Upon hearing this the three Yuan sisters looked at each other, somewhat sympathizing with Wei Ruo, but at the same time knowing that the three of them weren’t going to be any better than Wei Ruo.

And that’s probably how it will be when it’s their turn.

Yuan Qiniang comforted Wei Ruo, “Ruo Ruo, don’t feel bad, the Xu family’s eldest son is one of the most noble dukes in the Taizhou Prefecture, he is talented and good-looking, and he is good at writing and martial arts, so it’s hard to find the second one in the city who is like him.”

Yuan Jiuniang followed up, “Yes, the last time in the Yu Sheng Tea Cuisine Ruoruo you have seen him, that posture and appearance, in addition to your big brother, no one can be compared to him. That day’s dragon boat race and kettle throwing his performance are extremely excellent, visible those rumors are not false.”

Yuan Shiniang nodded, “Right, right, right, I heard about it, a lot of people in the city want to tie the knot with the Xu family, I don’t know how many people are going to envy Ruoruo you this time!”

Anyway, we are going to marry, it’s better to marry a good person than a mediocre one, right? This is what the three Yuan sisters thought in their hearts, so they comforted Wei Ruo in this way.

“Thank you for comforting me, it’s fine, I’ll deal with it.” Wei Ruo smiled at the Yuan family’s three sisters, at this moment, she already had a plan to deal with it in her heart, so she would not be negatively upset.

###

The matter of the Xu family wanting to send a matchmaker to their door to make a match spread, and the several young ladies who were taking classes within the Tongzhi Mansion were filled with curiosity about it.

So when Miss Xu Yaojun of the Xu family came, several people asked her after the truth of the matter.

“It’s true.” Xu Yaogun gave an affirmative answer, her tone and face not very good.

Before, she didn’t have much of an opinion on the matter, but after she clashed with Wei Qingruo last time, she had a problem with all the Wei sisters.

She didn’t like the idea of Wei Qingruo marrying into their family, but her opinion was useless; her grandparents liked Wei Qingruo and her mother approved, so her opinion was ignored.

Xu Yaogun’s gaze fell onto Wei Qingwan’s body, who was sitting in the corner in silence.

She walked over in large strides and took a seat opposite Wei Qingwan’s desk, her hands folded on the book case, her eyes provocative, “It looks like you’re still not as capable as your sister, and actually managed to climb up our family’s high branch with real means.”

Wei Qingwan didn’t want to bother with her and glanced her head to the side.

“Don’t pretend, you Wei sisters put on an air of purity and pride every day, don’t you just want to climb a high branch? Pretending to whom eh?” Xu Yaogun mocked.

“Ms. Xu, you’re talking about my sister’s business, it has nothing to do with me.” Wei Qingwan brushed off the relationship.

“How come it doesn’t matter? Aren’t you sisters both the same? I originally thought that she could be a bit better than you, but now it seems that she’s a bit more tactful than you.” Xu Yaogun said with a look of contempt.

Immediately followed by a disgusted look at Wei Qingwan: “Look at you, your looks and figure are excellent, and also more sympathetic than your sister, how come she has climbed up the ladder, and you are still not moving at all? Don’t be afraid of her marrying high, but you can only find a poor scholar.”

Wei Qingwan said with a cold face, “Miss Xu put some respect, my Wei family has a Lord in the body, in terms of status and position, it’s not inferior to your Xu family in the slightest.”

“Can you do anything else besides talk about your status as a young lady of the earl’s house? Don’t think I don’t know that your family is so poor that you can’t make ends meet lately, your mother is selling your family’s fields and cutting down on your family’s expenses, and you’re still posing as a count’s daughter to me after all this?” Xu Yaogun laughed and mocked.

Being poked in the sore spot, Wei Qingwan bit her lower lip, “Since Miss Xu knows that my sister is better than me, why don’t you go to my sister and pester me for what? It’s not me who’s going to be betrothed to your elder brother.”
