Chapter 69: I’ll give you a chance to be my best sister.

“It’s really my brother!” Xie Ying confirmed the identity of the “denizen”.

Xiu Mei instantly let go of her hand.

Xie Ying came forward and helped Xie Jue up.

A clean-cut face with sparse eyebrows, though at this point it had a few more weeds and mud marks on it, not enough reserve and more than enough wretchedness.

“Brother, why are …… you here?” Xie Ying asked.

“Didn’t Mother tell you I’d be coming in the next few days?” Jue Xie asked.

“Said it, but didn’t say today, and why didn’t you go home first when you got here, and came to follow us for what?” Xie Ying asked.

Jue Xie was in tears, “I went home, my mother said you’d gone out, and once I heard that you didn’t have a few people with you, I didn’t feel comfortable, so I thought I’d come over and take a look.”

“Why did you come to see me and let go of the good mountain road to come over the hill?”

“I know you want to come to the aliyah, came over in advance, came early you have not come, and I just happened to see that side of the mountain bloomed a yellow good-looking, just thought to go pick to you, picking back, which thought …… “

Who would have thought that his sister would be accompanied by a maid who was superbly skilled and gave him a storm.

Wei Ruo saw that a few yellow lily-shaped flowers were falling on the ground in front of Jue Xie, they should be the ones that Xie Juan had just picked to give to his sister, and by the looks of it, they should be yellow flowers.

If there are a lot of them, you can pick them to remove the flower centers and dry them, and they are great in stir-fries or soups!

Jue Xie’s gaze landed on Wei Ruo, although the person who did it was her maid, she was the one who ordered it!

Feeling the gaze cast by Jue Xie, Wei Ruo explained, “I’m sorry Mr. Xie, I didn’t know you were Xie Ying’s brother and thought it was a denizen trying to do something bad to me and Ying’er.”

“You’re probably the very special Miss Wei family that my sister often mentions in her letters, aren’t you?” Although today was the first time they’d met, thanks to his own sister, Jue Xie had already heard a lot about Wei Ruo’s great name.

Because of his sister’s description, Jue Xie still had some curiosity about this rare Wei family lady who had caught his sister’s eye.

Today, I saw, other special did not see, this beatings are very special.

“Brother, this is purely your own fault for finding a fight today, you can’t blame anyone else.” Xie Ying thought that her brother was going to take it out on Wei Ruo, and quickly stepped forward to help support Wei Ruo.

“What do you think your brother I am, that I would bother with you girls over such a small matter.” Jue Xie said.

“What’s wrong with us girls? It’s you who is in the wrong in the first place, why are you making an issue out of the fact that we are a girl’s family?” Xie Ying was not happy.

“It’s brother’s fault, brother said the wrong thing, don’t be angry.” Jue Xie hurriedly apologized.

“Hmph, that’s more like it.” Xie Ying forgave Jue Xie and turned to pull Wei Ruo in the direction of the other courtyard, leaving Jue Xie far behind.

“Sister me why don’t you wait for me?”

“A man and a woman are not related, I have a flowery beauty here, I have to protect her, I can’t let you ruin her reputation.”

When Xie Ying replied, she had already pulled Wei Ruo out a long way.

Jue Xie sighed helplessly: now his status in his sister’s mind had been lowered a little more!

Xie Ying and Wei Ruo were begging to the moon inside the courtyard of the other courtyard.

The moon was full and the sky was high and cloudy.

After walking through the rituals of the Beggar’s Nest, they sat in the courtyard to enjoy the moon and eat the coquettish fruits Wei Ruo had brought.

“You’ve made this Qiao Guo quite tasty.” Xie Ying commented.

Then I remembered the dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato chips that I ate from Wei Ruo when we first met.

Xie Ying asked Wei Ruo, “You seem to be quite good at making small snacks to eat.”

“Not just small snacks, my Meimei is handy and can make a lot of delicious things.”

“Bring me more next time, I’ll give my brother a taste too.” Xie Ying said.

“No problem.” Wei Ruo agreed flatly, “By the way where is your brother?”

“He must be outside, he won’t come in so rudely if you’re there, he’s already been rude once, I’m a sister who can’t stand to look at him if he’s rude again.” Xie Ying said.

“Then have someone take some of these coquettish fruits over to him to eat, as a reparation for me hitting him just now.” Wei Ruo said.

“Alright, taking a beating and still getting so many tasty treats, it’s cheap for him.” Xie Ying said while handing over the bag of coquettish fruits Wei Ruo gave her to the maid.

“You siblings are so affectionate.” Wei Ruo commented, only with a good relationship would a younger sister spit on her older brother like this.

“It can’t be helped, who made him my brother. I would have wanted a sister or a younger sister, but nah my mother didn’t give birth to me.” Xie Ying said remembering something and added, “Of course I don’t want a sister like that in your family, I’m sick of looking at it.”

Wei Ruo smiled.

Xie Ying scrutinized Wei Ruo and continued, “If it’s as level-headed as you are, I’d consider it.”

“I can also consider it, after all, you have a straightforward character and say what you have to say without me having to bother guessing.” Wei Ruo also didn’t hide her fondness for Xie Ying.

“That’s right! This young lady has never been with people to come to the false and subtle that set of things. Liking is liking, disliking is disliking, there’s nothing to pretend!” Xie Ying said in a proud tone.

After finishing, Xie Ying looked at Wei Ruo and asked her, “What do you usually like to do besides planting vegetables and flowers?”

“Like to make money, make lots and lots of silver.” Wei Ruo replied.

“What do you need so much silver for?” Xie Ying asked.

“I don’t know, but who would mind less silver? And food too, it’s all about more. In case, I mean in case of a famine, there’s food to make sure you don’t starve.” Wei Ruo said.

“Right oh, I heard my mother say that this year’s grain harvest in XingShan County is estimated to be very poor, and so many people are thinking ahead to buy grain from abroad.” Xie Ying said rather helplessly.

“The price of purchasing grain from abroad is definitely high, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it.” Wei Ruo commented.

Originally ordinary people, busy year is counting on a good harvest in the fall, save enough for next year’s food, there is a surplus and then take it to the silver, to buy some other things.

If there is not enough food, where is the silver to buy things.

“Ruo’er, it’s fortunate that you opened up wasteland in the south of the city, if that batch of rice would have grown, things would have been much better.” Xie Ying couldn’t help but lament.

“The wasteland south of the city opened up is also unable to catch up with this year’s late rice, can only plant some rape broad beans a class of seasonal vegetables, food is still far from enough, you turn back to your mother to remind her, so that she can get more food over to the Xingshan County if she can.” Wei Ruo said.

“Okay, I’ll go back and tell my mother to go.” Xie Ying agreed in a single breath.

When Wei Ruo saw that Xie Ying was still looking at herself, she asked, “What are you looking at me for again?”

“I say Wei Ruo, are we considered good friends now?” Xie Ying asked.

“Probably.”

“What do you mean probably, yes or no or no, hurry up, I’ll give you a chance to be my Xie Ying’s good sister, do you say yes or no?” Xie Ying said with a serious expression and a domineering tone.
