    “Then I’ll go ask my young master.”

    Xiao Bei rushed back and returned to Ying Zhu Yuan to look for Wei Jin Yi.

    After listening to Xiao Bei’s exclusivity, Wei Jin also said, “The well-made mountain chickens and wild rabbits can be treated to her as compensation for her snacks.”

    So Koboku ran back to Listening Pine Court to report.

    “That’s fine, then I’ll go over with you.” Xiu Mei agreed in one mouthful.

    Grabbing a bag of things, he headed for the Welcome Bamboo Garden.

    Xiao Bei wondered, “Miss Xiu Mei, don’t you even need to ask your lady again? What if your lady doesn’t like eating wild game?”

    Xiu Mei glanced at the sluggish Xiao Bei and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, my young lady absolutely loves it.”

    Xiu Mei went to the small kitchen in Ying Zhu Yuan and began to busy herself.

    The rabbit meat is braised, in order to take care of Wei Jin Yi’s taste, there is no spicy ingredients, otherwise, according to the taste of her young lady, how to get a spicy flavor.

    The mountain chicken was boiled in a soup with some astragalus and wolfberries for nourishment.

    In addition to stir-frying a melon leaves, a pumpkin tip. Groundnut leaves were sent over by the nanny, and pumpkin tips were picked inside Wei Ruo’s yard.

    Four small dishes of meat, vegetables and soup.

    While Xiao Bei served the food on the table, Xiu Mei went next door to invite Wei Ruo.

    After Xiao Bei put the four dishes on the table, he lamented with Wei Jin Yi, “Young master, the eldest miss is really nice, we asked them to help us make wild game, and they also provided us with dishes and ingredients, and came up with four whole dishes that are full of color and flavor.”

    “Uh-huh.” Wei Jin also said.

    “If only in the future, Onii-chan could come and dine with us more often.” Xiao Bei said to herself.

    He also knew it was impossible, the lord and lady must have wanted Missy to go to the dining hall to join everyone else.

    As he spoke Wei Ruo arrived and walked into the pavilion with a smile on his face.

    Wei Jin also had already placed a stool for her, and after Wei Ruo sat down, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but rise as her eyes swept over the three dishes and one soup on the table.

    Her dear rabbit, it’s been a long, long time since she’s had it!

    Wei Jin also noticed Wei Ruo’s excited little expression, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but add a shallow smile, taking the initiative to clip the rabbit leg and put it into Wei Ruo’s bowl.

    “I’m the one who caused you to not be able to have dim sum, so this rabbit meat will be taken as an indemnity.” Wei Jin also said.

    “Then I’m not polite.” Wei Ruo tilted her face and smiled at Wei Jin as well, then she picked up the chopsticks in front of her without any politeness at all.

    In fact, the two know very well, one is intent on finding each other to eat mountain chicken and hare, specially prepared game, one is intent on coming to dine on the pretext that the loss of a meal of snacks need to be compensated.

    Only Kohoku was stupid enough not to know.

    After feasting on the food, Wei Ruo sat on a rattan chair to the side to rest.

    “When did you get an extra rattan chair here, Ergo? I haven’t seen it before.” Wei Ruo asked.

    “Recently a new addition, looked good and bought it.” Wei Jin also replied.

    “It’s quite nice, and you can lie down and rest when you’re tired of reading.”

    “Uh-huh.” Wei Jin also agreed, looking at Wei Ruo’s lazy appearance on the rattan chair, he knew that this rattan chair was the right addition.

    “How have you been studying at Xie’s house these past few days?” Wei Jin also inquired.

    “It’s quite good, this lady you found is really powerful, I thought I wouldn’t be able to listen too much, but she’s quite interesting to teach, and I’ve learned some incense making skills from her, which is similar to my pharmaceuticals.”

    “That’s good.” Wei Jin also answered, his face, as always, did not have much expression.

    “How about you, have you gotten better in the last few days?” Wei Ruo casually asked.

    “Well, your medicine is very useful, I feel much better.” Wei Jin also said.

    “So be it.” Wei Ruo returned in the exact same tone as Wei Jin Yi.

    Then lay back in the wicker chair, yukking it up.

    Most of the time when the two of them get along is quiet, Wei Jin also doesn’t talk much, Wei Ruo will sometimes say a few words to him, sometimes not, just stay quiet and relaxed.

    ###

    After a few days of busy work, Wei Ruo finally successfully accounted for most of the current stage of work in the wasteland south of the city.

    Today got some free time, Wei Ruo intends to straighten up the silk gourd pumpkin and gourd in the yard, otherwise tomorrow after re-attending the Xie family’s class there won’t be so much time again.

    While pounding away in the yard, Xiu Mei hurried in.

    “Miss, Miss Miss ……”

    “Mame what’s wrong with you?”

    “That …… that ……” Xiu Mei made sure that there was no one else in Listening Pine Court, and then said to Wei Ruo, “Miss, Xiao Yong’s brother got into a fight with Uncle Xu and the Nurse with Uncle Xu and Nurse, and they’re making a lot of noise!”

    “What’s going on?”

    “It seems like Brother Xiaoyong is going to be a soldier! Aren’t there a lot of recruitment notices posted in the county town these days? And because of the special circumstances, the age for recruitment was lowered from fifteen to fourteen, which Little Yong just happened to fulfill, and then he said he wanted to go fight the Japanese too!”

    “Now where is he?” Wei Ruo asked busily.

    “Tied up at home by Uncle Xu! Uncle Xu didn’t have a problem with it, but the nanny didn’t agree, and when the nanny cried, Uncle Xu tied up Little Yong!”

    “Let’s go, you go and call Sister Zhang up.” Wei Ruo immediately decided to go out.

    She now had the excuse of being in the south of the city and could go out almost anytime she wanted to, but she needed to take Sister Zhang with her.

    Although Sister Zhang didn’t think much of Wei Ruo at first, thinking that Wei Ruo was a bit shabby, but after this period of time with Wei Ruo, her attitude towards Wei Ruo had changed greatly, and after recognizing Wei Ruo’s ability, she began to follow Wei Ruo’s orders with all her heart.

    When Wei Ruo suddenly came looking for her, Sister Zhang didn’t think there was any problem, and without saying a word, she prepared the carriage and led Wei Ruo out the door.

    The car just went out for a short while, Wei Ruo let the car go to the street, the carriage will be parked in the street, Wei Ruo told Sister Zhang to go to the Four Treasures Zhai to buy some ink, paper and inkstone.

    Now that Wei Ruo was already studying, it was normal for her to want to purchase ink, paper, and inkstones, and neither Sister Zhang nor the fellow carriage driver felt that there were any surprises in this matter.

    Wei Ruo put on the drapery hat and got off the car, entering the store Wei Ruo did not look at any of the goods in the store, but directly entered the backyard through the door of the store.

    Inside the courtyard, Xu Zhengyong was sitting on the ground, his entire body tied up with his hands behind his back.

    His expression was stubborn: “Father, a good man’s ambition lies in all directions, now that the foreign enemy is attacking and the people are suffering, as a man, I should fight on the front line!”

    Xu Zhushan retorted, “I don’t care about all that, it’s just not okay for you to make your mother sad and upset!”

    Xu Zhushan is not disagreeing with his son to go to the army, just his own wife is difficult just can not.

    “Father, my mother was thinking like a woman, you’re a man, you should understand my thoughts!” Xu Zhengyong retorted.

    “It’s no use! If you want to go, you have to find a way to make your mother not worry for you first!” Xu Zhushan’s attitude was resolute, without any room for negotiation.

    Father and son were arguing when Wei Ruo came in.

    Seeing Wei Ruo, Xu Zhengyong’s eyes lit up as if he had seen a savior, “Sister Ruo’er!”
