Chapter 48: Apologize to me properly

Wei Ruo laughed lightly, “This is two meanings, can’t use it to let her take it back is afraid of wasting it.”

Wei Yi Lin retorted, “You’re just being forceful, you’re going to school, how can you not use it how can you waste it?”

Wei Ruo smiled, then turned back and called out to Xiu Mei, “Xiu Mei, fetch some of my literary treasures out.”

“Yes miss!” Xiu Mei’s voice came from inside the house.

After a short while, Xiu Mei came out, holding a large bamboo basket.

Xiu Mei huffed and puffed as she carried the bamboo basket to the crowd.

Yun, Wei Qingwan and Wei Yi Lin looked at the things in the bamboo basket and their complexion changed.

A bamboo basket full of literary treasures!

The most conspicuous than those paper, the color and texture at a glance know is the four treasure Zhai production of paper.

Not one or two, not ten or twenty, but a thick pile!

The rest of the inkstones were several squares, the brushes were a dozen large and small, and there were more than a dozen inksticks.

And all of these things looked as if they were better than what Wei Qingwan had brought.

“Ruo’er, where did you get so many literary treasures?” Yun’s face was filled with surprise.

There are so many things that even the eldest son doesn’t have!

“When I was in Mojiajie I once inadvertently helped an old woman who was lost in the mountains, and she had a son who was in the business of literary treasures, so she gave me a basketful of these things in return. Even though I haven’t read a book, I know that these things aren’t cheap, so I shipped them all over when I came from Mojiajie.”

When Wei Ruo came to the Wei family, he moved two whole carloads of things The entire Wei family is aware of this.

But everyone thought it was some worthless stuff, and no one ever inquired about what Wei Ruo had actually moved back.

Who would have thought that there was such a basket of treasures hidden amongst the piles of worthless countryside souvenirs she had carried!

Wei Ruo said: “So mother, I said Qing Wan sister sent me things I can not use what is not a problem, right? I’m a basket of ink, paper and inkstones are too late to use, received Qing Wan sister’s gift is also shelved in the house to eat dust, I do not want to waste spoiled Qing Wan sister’s intentions.”

“Who ever thought that me saying this would cause sister Qingwan and brother Yi Lin to misunderstand? I clearly meant well, I don’t know why they thought of me like that, probably because they just thought I was a bad person at heart.”

Upon hearing this Wei Qingwan and Wei Yi Lin’s faces both looked unsightly.

Yun, on the other hand, said, “It’s good to have it explained, it’s just a misunderstanding.”

Wei Ru nodded: “Well, explaining clearly is good. Originally I also thought that I have so many brushes, ink, paper and inkstones should take some out and distribute them to Qingwan sister, but look at Qingwan sister that there is still an extra set of brand new ready to be given to me, I think that for a while is also not used, then I will not give it to her first.”

“As for Yi Lin’s younger brother, he just bumped into me, saying that I was forceful and said that I had a bad attitude, although as an elder sister, I shouldn’t bother with him, after all, he’s still young. But as an elder sister can’t overindulge her younger brother, knowing that her younger brother’s reckless and disrespectful behavior is not right but still treating it as if nothing has happened, it’s my failure as an elder sister.”

Wei Ruo said something that made the three people in front of him not know how to answer.

Yun also realized that there was something wrong with Wei Yi Lin’s attitude towards Wei Ruo: “Yi Lin, apologize to your eldest sister! How can you, as the youngest brother, speak to your eldest sister in such a manner?”

“But Mother ……”

“No buts!” Yun’s expression was stern.

Wei Yi Lin was about to explode with anger, but under Yun’s eye gaze, he had to bow his head.

“I’m sorry, I was wrong.” Wei Yi Lin apologized, but his face had an expression full of reluctance.

Wei Ruo replied nonchalantly, “Little brother, apologizing to someone is about sincerity, today at home you apologized to me in this manner, if I don’t correct you, in the future you’ll be at a great disadvantage if you go out to the outside and continue in this manner. You are the first born young master of my Wei family, your every word and action represents the Wei family and the Zhongyi Burial House.”

In a few words, Wei Ruo elevated the matter of Wei Yi Lin’s apology to the heights of the Zhongyi Burial House.

Yun felt that Wei Ruo was right, so she once again admonished Wei Yi Lin, “Yi Lin, apologize properly, your eldest sister is not wrong, apologies should be made with sincerity, are you slatternly disobeying mother and eldest sister?”

Yun’s stern expression gave Wei Yi Lin a fright, his eyes were a little red and he bit his lip, “I’m sorry, I was wrong, I was reckless.”

“It’s okay, I said you’re still young, as the eldest sister will not bother with you. As long as you have a longer memory next time, and think more and weigh more when it comes to things, the eldest sister will be very happy in her heart.” Wei Ruo smiled and said.

Wei Yi Lin felt even more depressed, but he had no choice but to glare at Wei Ruo with his round eyes filled with aggression.

Once the matter was resolved, Yun took Wei Qingwan and Wei Yi Lin to leave Listening Pine Court, and when she walked to the door, she saw Wei Jin Yi.

As they looked at each other, Wei Jin also said “mother”, Yun nodded in agreement, and then left.

Be polite and detached.

Wei Jin also came over when he heard the quarrel, and then watched the drama from the doorway.

He could have left before Yun left the house, but today he made it a point not to and met up with Yun.

After Yun left, Wei Jin Yi also planned to go back, Wei Ruo came out at this time and called out to Wei Jin Yi.

“Ergo, just in time, these are for you.”

Wei Ruo separated out a bunch of literary treasures from inside the bamboo basket and bluntly shoved them into the arms of Xiao Bei, who was following behind Wei Jin Yi.

Another roll of paper and an ink stone, and a pile of pens and ink strips, Xiao Bei’s hands were so busy catching them that he almost couldn’t hold them.

Wei Jin also glanced at the things Wei Ruo had stuffed over and didn’t refuse.

Just said, “A little too much.”

“It’s not much, I’ll need it sooner or later anyway. It’s often said that wealth doesn’t show, and I’ve shown these things, so I have to use them up sooner or later, rather than being fooled around by people I don’t like one day, I’d rather give them to people I do like.” Wei Ruo replied.

At those words Wei Jin Yi’s face suddenly reddened, then quickly turned around and led Xiao Bei to leave at a brisk pace.

Wei Ruo didn’t know why Wei Jin Yi was walking so fast, but because he had always had that kind of inscrutable nature, he didn’t think much about it.

###

The next day, the Xie family sent an invitation to the school captain’s mansion, Mrs. Xie wanted to bring her daughter, Xie Ying, to the school captain’s mansion, saying that the two children would be going to school together in the future, and that they should familiarize themselves with it in advance.

After receiving the invitation, Yun was busy, although only the female members of the Xie family came, but Yun still did not dare to have the slightest slackness.

After two busy days, Mrs. Xie arrived with her daughter Xie Ying.

“Mrs. Wei, excuse me.” Mrs. Xie smiled and greeted Yun.

“No matter what, Mrs. Xie being able to come doesn’t make me or my daughter very happy.” Yun’s face was full of joy.

Mrs. Xie glanced at Wei Qingwan standing beside Yun, then looked around and saw that there was no one else, so she asked, “Mrs. Wei, where is the other Qianjin of the house?”
