Chapter 46 – The Xie Family Agrees

“It’s not that it’s not qualified enough, it’s just that you really haven’t been studying all these years, and your foundation is weaker than Wanwan and the others.” Wei Yi Chen explained.

“Uh-huh.” Wei Ruo calmly agreed.

“Ruo’er, mother will still do her best to arrange for you to attend classes at the governor’s residence.” Wei Yi Chen added.

Although both Mrs. Qian and Yun were trying hard to figure out how to arrange their own daughters to the Xie family, the current female teachers in the governor’s mansion shouldn’t be dismissed so quickly, after all, there were still the young ladies from the head booker’s family and the county minister’s family who were taking classes.

Even if the Qian family didn’t invite them by then, the Wei family could still logically invite that female gentleman to their home, so that it wouldn’t affect Wei Ruo’s study.

“Oh.” Wei Ruo still had the same calm and collected look.

Mostly, there wasn’t much else to say back.

“Ruo’er ……” Looking at Wei Ruo so calmly, Wei Yi Chen instead had some difficulty.

“I’ll go back first if there’s nothing else.” Wei Ruo didn’t want to continue this topic with Wei Yi Chen and left after saying that.

After Wei Ruo left, Wei Yi Chen pondered for a long time and returned to Cang Yun Yuan, speaking with Yun about his thoughts, “Mother, when you go to the Xie Mansion again, by the way, ask Mrs. Xie if it’s possible to arrange for Ruo’er to go there as well?”

Yun looked hesitant and said, “Yi Chen, if I can, I naturally can’t wait for both of my daughters to be Mr. Wang’s students. But in Ruo’er’s case …… she has nothing to show for it in qin, chess, calligraphy, or painting, so how can I go and open this up to Mrs. Xie’s family?”

At those words, Wei Yi Chen didn’t know what to say.

He was aware of Ruo’er’s sister’s situation, and she was far inferior to Wan Wan in all aspects of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The Zhixianfu end agreed to Ruo’er’s sister or on the face of their father being a Zhongxian school captain and coming out of the Zhongyi Burial Mansion.

The Xie family and Mr. Wang Caiwei’s side wouldn’t quite think highly of them because of this.

But as an elder brother, I always hope that both sisters are good, and I don’t want either of them to be aggrieved.

“Mother, why don’t you open your mouth and ask, if the Xie family doesn’t agree that’s the Xie family’s business, it’s always important for us to ask for Ruo’er.” Wei Yi Chen said.

“Yi Chen, originally we go to mention to the Xie family to let Wan Wan go over to a piece of the class thing is a bit difficult, if we mention two at a time, and still Ruo’er like the situation, inevitably will not annoy the Xie family, at that time, even Wan Wan can’t be how to be good?”

Yun’s heart concerns are very deep, it is better to be able to become one than two are not, right?

“Son knows.” After hearing Yun’s explanation, Wei Yi Chen had no choice but to stop.

Yun pondered and prepared for three days, and then took a trip to the Xie family with a gift carrier.

It was not until ten minutes into the evening that Yun returned.

When she returned, Yun looked excited.

Wei Qingwan had already waited at home for a day, she had her maid Cui He stand guard at the entrance, and when she saw Yun’s return, she immediately rushed to Cang Yun Yuan.

“Mother!”

“Wanwan, you’re here! Just in time, Mother wants to tell you some good news!”

“What is the good news, Mother?”

“Silly child, what good news can there be, naturally it’s the good news that the Xie family has agreed for you to go over and listen to Mr. Wang’s lessons with Miss Xie!”

“Really? The Xie family really agreed?” Wei Qingwan’s face was filled with joy, and she even somewhat couldn’t believe her ears.

“Of course it’s true!”

“Mother!” Wei Qingwan excitedly hugged Yun.

Yun gently patted Wei Qingwan’s back, “Alright, alright, things are going well, mother this heart ah can also fall down.”

“Well, thank you for running around for me, Mother, you’ve worked hard.”

“Silly child, under this sky parents are the ones who should be worrying about their children’s affairs, and I am personally happy that you can have a good future.”

At night, Wei Mingting went home.

Yun excitedly told him the good news: “Husband, the Xie family’s side has agreed to let my daughter go to the Xie family to attend classes together!”

“Really?”

“A thousand times true, it was Mrs. Xie herself who agreed, and Mr. Wang was present at the time.” Yun’s face was jubilant.

“So very good.” Wei Mingting also showed joy, it was naturally good for his daughter to be taught by Mr. Wang.

After a pause, Wei Mingting added: “You also don’t forget about Ruo’er’s things, have to hurry to arrange a good school for Ruo’er, if Ruo’er doesn’t want to learn it’s her thing, but you should arrange still have to arrange on.”

“Husband don’t worry, the governor’s wife agreed a long time ago, it’s just that we don’t know yet if the Xie family will let Miss Qian go to learn as well, and if Miss Qian goes as well, it’s possible that the governor’s mansion itself won’t hire a female teacher.”

“If the governor’s mansion doesn’t invite it anymore, you can invite the female gentleman to our house, not only Ruo’er, but also other people’s young ladies, they always need to learn.” Wei Mingting urged.

“Well, I know that.” Cloud thought the same thing.

Although bringing a female gentleman into the house would add extra expenses, since Wan Wan had been assigned to the Xie family, Ruo’er’s end wasn’t too bad either.

And by inviting the gentleman who was originally in the Qian family to come to his house, he was also able to get closer to the family of the chief official and the county minister in the process.

Although Wei Mingting is a military official, and these two families have nothing official dealings, but the same in this Xingshan County, there is always nothing wrong with a good relationship.

###

After waiting for two days, there was news from the governor’s office that the Xie family didn’t agree to Qian Zhilan going to the Xie family to study.

Mrs. Tse politely declined on the grounds that the Qian family had invited a gentleman of their own.

Mrs. Qian was depressed, but there was nothing she could do.

That night Yun called Wei Ruo to her, “Ruo’er, I’ve given you enough time in the wasteland south of the city, so you can instruct Sister Zhang to take care of the rest, it’s time for you to go to school at the governor’s mansion.”

“Got it.”

Out of Yun’s expectation, this time Wei Ruo did not bargain with Yun again, but agreed very calmly.

So Yun continued to talk to Wei Ruo, “There is another problem, which is that there is only one carriage in the house ……”

Yun’s expression was a bit difficult.

In the past, when Wei Qingwan was the only one who went to school at the governor’s mansion, there was nothing wrong with that carriage transporting Wei Qingwan once in the morning and once in the evening.

According to the original plan, it was Wei Qingwan and Wei Ruodu who went to the governor’s mansion to attend classes, and the carriage just carried one more person, which was not a problem.

But now the situation has become complicated, Wei Qingwan wants to go to the Xie family in the north of the city, and Wei Ruo wants to go to the Qian family in the governor’s county, and the two places aren’t on different roads.

Wei Ruo sneered, taking Yun’s step first to say what she wanted to say, “Is mother trying to say that the Xie family in the north of the city is a bit farther away from the school captain’s mansion, so you’re planning on arranging the carriage for Wei Qingwan, who’s going to Xie’s family in the north of the city, and that the ZhiXian Qian’s family is a bit closer, so you’re going to trouble me to walk there on foot?”

“That’s not to let you go on foot, I’ll purchase another carriage, just that the one I’ll buy will be smaller than the one our family already has. Right now the family isn’t very generous, when it gets a little more generous, I’ll get you another one that’s a little better, okay?”
