Chapter 340 – Leave the credit to Little Yong.

Wei Ruo couldn’t help but be puzzled, “Why did Second Brother suddenly say this?”

“I’m just worried that if I’m always out with you and you don’t get the news, there will occasionally be rumors that come back by mistake, making you worry for nothing.” Wei Jin also replied.

“Don’t worry second brother, I won’t just believe in gossip, you just need to take care of yourself, don’t worry about me.” Wei Ruo said.

“Uh-huh.”

After entering the city, Wei Ruo didn’t go directly back to the school captain’s mansion, but had the carriage take a detour to the Four Treasures.

Just like the last time she went to the Four Treasures, Wei Ruo didn’t avoid Wei Jin Yi this time. She directly brought Wei Jin Yi inside.

Wei Ruo found the milkmaid and said with her, “Milkmaid, help me send a letter to Brother Xiaoyong, just clip it in your family letter.”

One of the great advantages of the proximity of the armies in which you serve is that every so often the army sends letters home to the generals, as well as bringing letters from the families to the generals in the barracks.

“Good, it will be the end of the month soon, the military barracks should send a letter over, when that time comes, I’ll give Miss’s letter to them sandwiched inside our correspondence.” Nurse said.

“Uh-huh.”

Wei Ruo nodded her head, and then she sat down and wrote down what she wanted to tell Xu Zhengyong on a piece of paper.

Wei Jin also took the initiative to avoid looking at what Wei Ruoshu had written.

Only after finishing the matter did Wei Ruo return to the school captain’s mansion with Wei Jinya.

The two returned to the mansion only to realize that Wei Mingting was also in the mansion today.

This was unusual because he had just returned a few days ago, and he wouldn’t have returned to the house at this time of the day if there wasn’t something important, after all, the situation on the front lines was tense.

In the evening with the evening meal, in addition to Wei Qingwan who is still recuperating Wei family members have all arrived.

After the evening meal, Wei Mingting told his family the reason why he would be back today – to prepare the military rations.

When it was time to fight the Japanese again, the army’s food was not replenished in time, shaking the army’s center of gravity.

Not to mention that when the army’s granary bottoms out in a few days, the soldiers will have to go hungry, and the battle will be lost before it is fought.

Wei Mingting has no good solution now, and can only come back to the city to seek help from the governor Yuan Zhengqin.

But Yuan Zhengqin is also a clever woman can’t cook without rice, now the government office did get a lot of food to, but this food is Wei Ruo with the method of food for work to attract the Taizhou government of the rich and powerful gentry to profit for the purpose of providing, and does not belong to the government office, the government office can’t be used casually.

After listening to Wei Mingting’s description, Yun asked Wei Ruo, “Ruo’er, you’re in charge of opening up the land for disaster relief, and all that food is deployed by you, so help your father think of a way to transfer a batch of it to the barracks first to save the day.”

Wei Ruo replied, “Mother, didn’t father say just now that he had already discussed this with Lord Yuan, and that Lord Yuan couldn’t even call for this grain to go to the barracks at will, so how can I? If I attract the displeasure of the powerful nobles and gentry who have contributed money and food, and they lose confidence in the government office and this famine relief operation, have you thought about the consequences?”

“Then we can’t just watch the generals who fought bloody battles for the country, for the family, and for the people starve, can we?” Yun said worriedly.

Wei Mingting interrupted Yun and said, “There is nothing wrong with what Ruo’er said, these grains can’t be touched casually, so don’t make it difficult for Ruo’er. The military food will need to find another way.”

“Concubine knows.” Yun bowed her head.

Wei Yi Chen and Wei Jin Yi were both silent throughout and did not comment.

After Wei Ruo returned to Listening Pine Court, Xiu Mei asked Wei Ruo, “Miss, didn’t you say before that if the army was short of food, you would be willing to give the stored food to the barracks? Why didn’t you just tell the master?”

Wei Ruo Zhuangzi’s granary are full, before Wei Ruo said, these food will not be sold, is to prepare for emergencies, unless the army lacks food.

“Meimei, did you forget that I made a trip to the Four Treasures today?”

“Well, Miss wrote to Brother Xiao Yong.” After Xiu Mei replied, she froze for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, “Miss, are you trying to get Brother Xiao Yong to step in?”

“Well, to be able to solve the pressing problem for the military camp should be considered a merit, right?” Wei Ruo said.

Xiu Mei nodded her head, “Something that the Seventh Prince and Master are both very anxious about, if it’s solved, it must be a great achievement!”

“In that case, I can’t contribute grain for nothing, I have to help Brother Xiaoyong save up a military honor anyways.”

“Yes, yes, yes, let Brother Xiaoyong save a military honor!” Xiu Mei raised her hands and feet in agreement.

Lookout Plum Court.

Wei Qingwan, who was recuperating from her illness, had also heard the news of Wei Mingting’s return, and she expected her father to come and visit her for a moment or two.

If it was before, when she was injured, no matter how small, even if she had accidentally fallen and bumped in the courtyard, her father would have come to visit her when she got home, and even if one of his own people didn’t come over, he would have ordered someone to come and care for her.

However, today she waited until late at night without waiting for Wei Mingting to visit her.

With her hopes dashed, Wei Qingwan couldn’t help but feel disappointed and sad.

The Wei Qingwan of these two days has been able to get out of bed, under the assistance of Sister Li, Wei Qingwan stood in front of the window and looked sadly at the curved moon outside the window.

“Sister, what should I do now? Now that father is really sick of me, can I still stand in this family?” Wei Qingwan asked Sister Li.

Sister Li was also anxious in her heart, and she was no less worried about this matter than Wei Qingwan.

But she still had to patiently comfort Wei Qingwan, “Miss you don’t worry, Master is still angry today, when he is angry, he can remember the father-daughter bond of the past.”

Wei Qingwan didn’t answer and looked outside, only feeling that she was just like the remnants of the flowers that had bloomed in the yard, swaying with the wind, unsupported and shaky.

“Miss, your body is still weak right now, let me help you back to bed to rest first.” Sister Li advised.

Wei Qingwan nodded and slowly moved back to the bed with the help of Sister Li.

After sitting down, Wei Qingwan inquired, “Sister, why hasn’t tonight’s medicine been delivered?”

Wei Qingwan had to use medicine once a day in the morning and evening, divided into those taken internally and those applied externally.

But neither the internal nor the external medicine has been delivered yet this evening.

“This ……” Sister Lee didn’t know how to explain.

She had actually asked her daughter, Cui He, to rush the kitchen, but the kitchen side said that they had run out of medicine and hadn’t bought it back yet, so they couldn’t do anything about it.

“What’s going on?” Wei Qingwan sensed that Sister Li was hiding something from her.

“Miss, the medicine has run out ……”

“But I’m not all better yet, so why don’t they stop going to get the medicine?” Wei Qingwan couldn’t believe what her ears were hearing.

She wasn’t all better yet, so why hadn’t the House even bothered to get her own medicine?

“This ……” Sister Lee didn’t know what to say.

“So now they don’t even care if I live or die?” Wei Qingwan was devastated, her eyes reddened and tears filled her eyes.
