Chapter 47: I don’t need it.

“That’s pretty good, at least it’s not an ox cart.” Wei Ruo laughed.

Not switching to an oxcart wasn’t necessarily because Yun loved herself so much, it was probably because she couldn’t afford to lose this person.

“Ruo’er, this can’t be helped, the Xie family is unusual, not to mention that the gentleman Qingwan is going to meet is the famous talent queen Caiwei.” Yun frowned as she analyzed with Wei Ruo.

“Well, you make a good point, and I couldn’t agree more.” Wei Ruo expressed her agreement.

“You agree?” Yun was surprised to see Wei Ruo’s breezy demeanor, thinking that she was saying the opposite, but it didn’t look like she was.

“Very much agree, whoever goes to the more distant and higher status Xie family to study with the more talented Mr. Wang will ride in the family’s original good carriage, and the one who didn’t go will ride in the family’s newly purchased smaller and shabbier carriage, it’s very reasonable.” Wei Ruo said.

Yun frowned, and for a moment she didn’t know how to take Wei Ruo’s words.

Wei Ru followed up with, “Mother certainly didn’t make this decision because the one going to the Xie family is Wei Qingwan and the one going to the governor’s mansion is me, it’s simply because the Xie family is far away and higher than our family lintel, right?”

“That’s natural.” Yun immediately replied.

“Then of course I don’t have a problem with it, mother is considering objective factors and is treating us fairly, so naturally I won’t have a problem with it.” Wei Ruo replied.

Wei Ruo’s words, said reasonable, well-behaved, but Yun listen to inexplicably a little weak.

“Sister, I’ve prepared a gift for you!” Wei Yi Lin excitedly ran into Wang Mei Yuan.

“Gifts?”

“Yes, congratulations sister can go to the Xie family to take classes and learn from a hefty female gentleman!” Wei Yi Lin was all smiles.

Wei Yi Lin proudly introduced his gift, “I bought my sister a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstones, all from that newly opened Four Treasures!”

“Isn’t its paper expensive and hard to buy?” Wei Qingwan looked surprised.

“Yeah, but it’s okay, your brother I have private money!” Wei Yi Lin said with a smile.

“Yi Lin, you’re too good to me!” Wei Qingwan said softly, her voice filled with emotion.

“You’re my sister, if I don’t treat you well who will?”

Wei Qingwan said with some hesitation, “But there’s still elder sister, elder sister, she’s also going to go to school in the governor’s mansion, I don’t know how well the clerical treasures have been prepared.”

“I don’t give a damn about her, her business has nothing to do with me!”

“I’d better go and see, if not, I’ll give her some of mine. She’s a sister after all, she can not care about us, but we as younger siblings can not not care about her.”

Saying that, Wei Qingwan headed to her house and came out with quite a few brushes, ink, paper and inkstones.

“Sis, I’ll accompany you! I’m afraid she’ll bully you!” Wei Yi Lin chased after her.

“Thank you Eirin, I’m fine. She won’t bully me much in the mansion, sister.”

“Sister, just because you’re kind doesn’t mean that others are kind with you, we definitely can’t think too optimistically about things!” Wei Yi Lin was resolute.

Anyway, as long as his sister was going to find Wei Qingruo today, he was going to follow!

“Okay, then you’ll come with me, but when you see your sister you can’t say those things to her again, big brother will be angry with you if he finds out.”

“I know, as long as she doesn’t do anything to you, I will never take the initiative to cross her today.” Wei Yi Lin assured Wei Qingwan.

When they arrived inside the Listening Pine Garden, Wei Ruo was busy fertilizing the seedlings of sweet potatoes, squash, pumpkins and gourds planted in the yard.

The seedlings have all grown green and climbed halfway up the wall.

“Sister.” Wei Qingwan walked up to Wei Ruo uninvited, “Sister will be going to the governor’s mansion for classes in a couple of days, I’ve prepared some brushes, ink, paper and inkstones for Sister, I hope they can come in handy.”

Wei Ruo turned her head and glanced at the things Wei Qingwan was holding in her hands, “I don’t need your stuff, take it back and you keep it for yourself.”

Wei Qingwan paused and added, “Sister, don’t worry, all these things of mine are new and unused.”

“I don’t need it.” Wei Ruo refused again.

Wei Qingwan, who was rejected, lowered her head sadly.

Seeing this, Wei Yi Lin immediately spoke, “Sister sent you something with good intentions, why do you have this attitude?”

Wei Ruo laughed and asked rhetorically, “What attitude did I have? Is sending me something I can’t use and wanting you to take it back a bad attitude?”

“Where are the things that sister gave you that you can’t use? You’re clearly deliberately embarrassing sister!” Wei Yi Lin questioned.

“What? I don’t know if I can use it or not, do you?”

“You’re obviously going to study soon! Pen, ink, paper and inkstones are all necessities!” Wei Yi Lin said with a stern face.

“So? Is this necessarily related to me saying that I can’t use the things Wei Qingwan is going to send me?” Wei Ruo asked rhetorically.

“You knowingly asked! Why are you so annoying!” Wei Yi Lin was anxious.

Wei Qingwan pulled Wei Yi Lin and said, “Yi Lin, don’t be angry, it’s my fault, I didn’t choose the right gift. Don’t be angry with your sister.”

“What’s wrong with you, sister? She’s the one with the problem!”

Seeing Wei Qingwan take the blame on herself, Wei Yi Lin became even more angry.

Sister thought of Wei Qingruo everywhere, but this hateful Wei Qingruo was always against her sister and made things difficult for her!

I don’t know if the commotion was too loud and an underling heard it and went to report to Yun, or if Yun happened to be coming to Wei Ruo’s place.

When Yun stepped through the door of Listening Pine Court, she just happened to hear Wei Yi Lin and Wei Ruo arguing while Wei Qing Wan was beside her trying to persuade them.

Yun’s stern voice rebuked, “What’s the point of making a lot of noise?!”

As soon as Yun appeared, the noise immediately stopped.

Yun’s gaze swept over the three siblings in front of her, “What’s going on? Why is it so noisy!”

“Mother ……,” Wei Yi Lin muttered when he saw Yun, his face aggravated.

Wei Ruo watched coldly.

“Wan Wan, you speak.” Yun designated Wei Qingwan to explain the reason.

“Mother rest your anger, it’s my daughter’s fault, my daughter prepared some gifts for my sister, thinking that my sister would be able to use them to study at the governor’s mansion in a few days, but my daughter didn’t prepare well, my sister didn’t like it, and Eilam’s temper was a bit impulsive, so she quarrelled with my sister.”

After listening to Wei Qingwan’s explanation, Yun glanced at the clerical treasures she was holding in her hand.

Then he frowned and asked Wei Ruo: “You’re going to study in the governor’s mansion, what’s the problem with Wan Wan bringing you the four treasures of literature, and why did you say that the gift she prepared was not good?”

“I didn’t say she didn’t prepare it well ah, my original statement was that I can’t use these things, so please take them back for your own use, sister.” Wei Ruo answered Yun’s question nonchalantly before looking at Wei Qingwan, “Is that the right thing to say? Sister Qingwan?”

“It’s ……” Wei Qingwan nodded her head.

Wei Yi Lin hurriedly said, “Isn’t that what you mean by asking your sister to take it back, that you’re not satisfied with the gift she prepared for you?”
