Chapter 368 – Blood Relatives

Wei Ruo grabbed some of her clothes and wrapped herself a little more tightly.

Wei Ruo spit in his heart, next time if you go out or can not wear this material of clothing, this material is their own specially improved, although more than the general material more transparent and lighter than some of the hot weather when wearing really comfortable a lot, but encountered this situation embarrassing is also really embarrassing!

Then Wei Ruo leaned against the stone wall behind him, listening to the clattering sound of the pouring rain falling on the mountains and forests, as well as the sound of thunder that rang out from time to time.

Being all wet made her look a little anxious, hoping the rain would end soon.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Wei Jin Yi, who had his back to herself, and Wei Ruo couldn’t help but feel a warmth in her heart, although her second brother was sometimes a bit “pedantic”, she was really very considerate of herself.

He was the second brother besides Isamu, his older brother, who was kind to him, and at the same time the only one who was related to him by blood and got along with him like family.

This is the family, fortunately, God is not very bad to her, but still left her a “family”.

“Thank you, Second Brother.” Wei Ruo whispered to Wei Ruo.

“Uh-huh.” Wei Jin also answered, his voice a bit lower than usual.

Xiu Mei on the other side was in a similar situation as Wei Ruo, and she was wearing the same material of clothes as Wei Ruo’s.

Xiao Bei followed suit and also put his own clothes over Xiumei’s body, who whispered “thank you”.

I don’t know if the heavens heard Wei Ruo’s call, but the rain stopped after about an incense stick of work.

Although the rain had stopped, the ground was still dripping, and the whole mountain seemed to have been washed away by the rain, with the water pooling like a small stream.

Wei Jin also asked Xiao Bei to go out to a place that hadn’t been rained on to find some dead wood and leaves and return.

Now this day is not so cold, but the clothes and hair have been so wet Wei Ruo is not good to go down the mountain back to the city.

Wei Jin also cut down some miscellaneous trees nearby and came back to build a temporary barrier to shade Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei.

When Xiao Bei returned from gathering firewood, he raised a fire for Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei to hide behind the makeshift barrier to bake their clothes.

After the shower, the sun came out again, and with the fire roasting them, the clothes of several people were dry in only one incense burner’s time.

Although Wei Ruo still looked more or less wretched in their appearance, it was always less uncomfortable.

When she came out from behind the temporary barrier, Wei Ruo returned the similarly dried clothes to Wei Jin Yi.

Wei Jin also took the clothes and smelled a faint fragrance on the clothes, not like the scent of flowers or balm, like a mixture of herbs and sandalwood.

Wei Jin also knew that this was the smell of Wei Ruo’s body and couldn’t help but tighten his fingers.

After reconditioning, several people once again descended the mountain and rushed back into the city before the gates were closed.

The next morning Wei Ruo went to find the village and county belonging to the Fengting Mountain area, roughly talked about the purchase of things, the negotiation process is quite smooth, especially Wei Ruo is willing to buy in the form of a combination of silver plus grain, so that they agreed to extraordinarily painful.

In this year’s situation, food is especially precious, and it is better to buy things with food than with silver.

At the same time, Zhao Hai Zhao Xun brothers also arrived in the provincial capital, Zhao Hai will help Wei Ruo to manage her newly acquired fields. Zhao Hai will help Wei Ruo manage her newly purchased fields and manor, and he can also help Wei Ruo settle down the villagers of Dahe Village who are hiding in Fengting Mountain.

The reason why he arranged for Zhao Hai to come over, besides the fact that he himself had good ability and experience in managing a manor house, there was also partly a reason why his younger brother, Zhao Xun, wanted to come to the provincial capital to take the township exam.

Zhao Xun this is the showman, this year’s countryside examination he has the opportunity to participate. Just his physical condition makes people worry, can not insist on the whole exam is not good to say.

Zhao Hai did not want him to participate in this situation, his body had managed to get better under Wei Ruo’s conditioning, and participating in the laborious countryside exams might cause his condition to deteriorate again.

But Zhao Xun himself is very insistent, saying that he does not want to miss this opportunity, and would rather die in the examination hall than miss it.

Zhao Hai was helpless and couldn’t be persuaded, so he could only agree to accompany him to the provincial city.

So Wei Ruoshun made this arrangement, which would make it easier for Zhao Hai to take care of Zhao Xun, and at the same time allow Zhao Hai to help her deal with the matters on the provincial city side.

In addition to Zhao Hai, there would be a few villagers from Stone Village who would also arrive in the provincial city later in the evening for Zhao Hai to dispatch and organize the follow-up farming work for Wei Ruo’s newly acquired fields.

Because Wei Ruo knew these villagers of Stone Village to a certain extent, he recognized their abilities and attitudes.

Starting a new manor entirely with new people would increase the difficulty of management, especially this time Wei Ruo purchased a larger area of fields that were also difficult to manage, deploying some familiar people over would make things a little smoother.

After that, Wei Ruo went to the city to stroll around, looking at some stores and inquiring about prices.

But the store is not in a hurry to set down, Wei Ruo only chose a general location, the specific choice will wait for the nanny Xu uncle over to do a further inspection to understand and then do.

It was only on the third day that Wei Ruo went with Wei Jin Yi to meet Wei Yi Chen and give him something.

When they met, Wei Yichen’s expression was still as cold and serious as it had been a few days before, no longer gentle, and even less likely to catch Wei Ruo saying a bunch of things like before.

Wei Yi Chen let Wei Jin Yi and Wei Ruo go back after briefly thanking them.

After finishing all this, Wei Ruo and the others left that afternoon to go back to the Taizhou Mansion.

This trip, the round trip plus the time spent in the provincial capital, Wei Ruo several people spent eight whole days.

If not for the fear of going back later to be scolded by Yun’s, Wei Ruo on the way back to the road can be delayed for a few more days.

By the time Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also returned to the Taizhou Prefecture School Captain’s Mansion again, it happened to be the evening of August 14th.

Because the next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the house was extraordinarily busy.

Wei Ruo returned to the mansion and went to greet Yun as usual.

And Yun’s look today is very bad, and there is no joy to have a reunion festival, but her face does not seem to be directed at Wei Ruo, and did not say anything more on the matter of Wei Ruo’s late return.

I don’t know if it was because her most valued sons and daughters were not with her on what should have been a reunion day.

Only after returning to Listening Pine Court to find Sister Zhang to inquire in detail did she realize that the reason Yun was in a bad mood was not only because Wei Yi Chen and Wei Qing Wan were not in the mansion.

Even Wei Mingting will not be able to return tomorrow, because the frontline anti-Japanese army and the Japanese invaders are fighting again, and I do not know what the situation is at this moment.

In addition, during the time that Wei Ruo and the others went to the provincial city, Yun received a letter from the Grand Master of the Earl’s House in the capital to the school captain’s house, which said that there were noblemen in the capital who wanted to promote the Grand Master and arrange an official position for the Grand Master, but the prerequisite was that their Grand Master had to cooperate.
