Chapter 64: Don’t Work Too Hard

“Well, a very good friend.” Wei Ruo replied.

Seeing the smile spreading on Wei Ruo’s face revealed the extraordinary relationship between her and that person.

“I can ask for me, if there is I’ll have Xiao Bei bring it to you.” Wei Jin also said.

“Okay, thank you second brother~” Wei Ruo didn’t hide the happiness on her face at all.

Asking Wei Jin also is just an act of chance, and I didn’t expect him to really have a way.

Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo and slowly said, “Don’t work too hard.”

“I know second brother, I care about my body, I have a measure!” Wei Ruo said, reaching over to grab Wei Jin Yi’s hand.

The moment he touched it, Wei Jin also drew it away with fire.

“What do you do?”

“Taking your pulse, ah, haven’t I been giving you a qi tonic pill for a while now? Let’s see how effective it is, and then see how to improve the formula later, aren’t I in the process of making medicine? Just happened to dispense yours together.” Wei Ruo replied.

After hearing the explanation, Wei Jin Yi realized that he had overreacted.

Then re-positioned his hand in front of Wei Ruo’s face.

Wei Ruo put her fingers on Wei Jin Yi’s wrist and said after not a while, “Well, it’s getting better, I’ll give you another twenty pills this time, and you’ll continue to regulate it.”

“Uh-huh.”

Capital City, Zhongyi Burial Mansion.

After a few days, the news of Xing Shan County finally reached the capital, the old uncle received the letter, even praised a few “good”.

The old uncle was sixty-eight years old, thin, with white hair and white beard.

In front of him stood his eldest son Wei Minghong and his second son Wei Mingyong.

Wei Minghong has a rounded appearance, his body is a bit blonde, and his facial features are seventy percent similar to those of his old uncle.

Wei Mingyong is a bit thinner, a shrewd look.

“You also read the letter your third brother wrote back.” The old uncle spoke of the letter and handed it to his two sons.

The eldest son, Wei Minghong, took the letter, and Wei Mingyong came up to read it with him.

After reading it both of their faces unanimously showed joy.

“Father, in that case, Third Brother and the others have improved the land with merit and gained the reward of the Seventh Highness?” Wei Minghong hurriedly asked.

“It’s uncertain whether or not we’ll be able to gain the appreciation of the Seventh Highness, but at least it’s an eyeful in front of the Seventh Highness, which is a good thing any way you look at it.” Old Uncle commented.

“That’s really great!” Wei Minghong looked excited, “I’ve heard that the Seventh Highness is the most promising candidate for the Crown Prince, if we can gain the appreciation of the Seventh Highness, then our family will hopefully be able to keep this title!”

Wei Mingyong had a question at this time: “Father, the third brother said in the letter, this is that we have not yet met the niece Wei Qingruo done, but she has been in the countryside in the past years, come back to be a set of appearance can not be on the stage, how will have such a skill?”

“Hmph! Why can’t I have one? That’s my full-fledged granddaughter! Our family’s proper bloodline heir! Besides, what one learns in the countryside is of course the skill of farming! Just the two of you are shallow-eyed day after day, now you see, this countryside-grown also has countryside-grown skills!”

When deciding on the order of the two granddaughters, he asked his two sons what they thought, and they didn’t have much to say, but they both felt that the one who had just been brought back might be a little too much for the stage, and it was hard to get into the hall of elegance, and that making her the eldest daughter might lose their family’s face later on.

Might as well keep the fake one in place, at least there’s no shame in it.

Or he made the decision to let his own biological as the eldest daughter, if there is another granddaughter on top, it is not a problem, but the eldest daughter to let the other family’s to do, the old uncle’s heart more or less some diaphragm.

“Yes, yes, yes, it’s still you father who is wise.” Wei Minghong hurriedly flattered.

“What father said is true.” Wei Mingyong also immediately took a stance.

The old uncle said with a look of emotion, “It has been proven that the heirs of my Wei family are in the end much more competitive than that merchant’s family, and that merchants are not up to scratch after all!”

“Father you are so right, the merchant house is humble in the end, with a belly full of small-mindedness, it cannot be compared to those who come out of our Earl’s House.” Wei Minghong busily said.

“Father, my son has nothing to do lately, why don’t you let me go to Xing Shan County to help my third brother? The third brother is busy fighting against the Japanese and may not be free to manage those fields, and the great niece is only a woman in the end, so there are many inconveniences.” Wei Mingyong took the initiative to ask for help and said.

“Second brother, the two of us really thought of the same thing, and that’s exactly what I’m thinking.” Wei Minghong said.

“Big brother you have official duties, it is not convenient to go out of the capital, unlike me, a white body, can go at any time, it is better to let my younger brother I go.” Wei Mingyong said.

“You guys stop arguing! Neither one of you is allowed to go!” The old uncle stopped the two and vetoed their request.

“Father ……” Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong looked at the old uncle sheepishly.

“Don’t think I don’t know what you guys are up to! Your wanting to help is fake wanting to climb into a relationship with the Seventh Highness is real, right? Two idiots! If it were that easy to get in the eyes of the Seventh Prince, why would you two be in the position to do so? Stay at home and don’t interfere in the Old Third Family’s affairs!”

“Yes ……,” Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong could only obediently agree.

The old uncle looked at his two indomitable sons, “Both of you also fight for me, now that the old third family has made some achievements, you can’t drag your feet.”

Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong hung their heads low, too vain to answer.

Coming out of the old uncle’s house, the brothers walked along, each with their own thoughts.

“Big brother, although you are the eldest brother, in the future we may all have to look up to third brother’s nose to live. Big brother has a son who is a great reader, and now he has filled in an eldest daughter who can save merit for the family, this is bound to prosper in the future.” Wei Mingyong said with a smile, the flavor of flirting and watching a good show was heavy.

“It’s better for Second Brother not to worry about me, worry more about yourself. I’ve heard that because of the matter of concubinage, the second brother-in-law is already at loggerheads with you!”

“Big brother, I’ve heard that it’s not quiet in your house either, your eldest son doesn’t seem to be causing much trouble lately.”

“Hmph, what’s the use of me being shady here, Second Brother, if you’re capable of it you can go and compare yourself to Third Brother’s family!”

Wei Minghong was a bit annoyed and flung his sleeves before walking away without looking back.

“Being stepped on where it hurts!” Wei Mingyong sneered, then walked towards his courtyard with his hands behind his back.

It was the fifteenth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar.

It was also the day Xu Zhengyong officially joined the company.

Wei Ruo once again excused herself to go to the south of the city to check on the progress, and went with Xiu Mei to the Sibaozhai to dine with the Nurse’s family.

The milkmaiden busied herself with a large table of dishes, almost all of which were things Wei Ruo loved to eat.

At the table, a few people were talking and laughing.

In the Wei Mansion, there was the rule of not speaking during meals, but there weren’t that many rules in the Xu family.

After eating, Xiu Mei pulled Xu Zhengyong aside and handed Xu Zhengyong a small purse.

“What is it?” Xu Zhengyong asked.
