Chapter 77 – Second Brother is really powerful

“Sister these days should still be busy reading things it …… specific daughter is not very clear, sister in the house when more to go to Yingzhuyuan to talk with the second brother, I went to look for a few times she was not there, it is not very clear … … “Wei Qingwan replied.

Hearing this Yun couldn’t help but frown, “Ruo’er is thirteen, and Jin also is about to be sixteen, so it’s time to avoid suspicion.”

Her daughter did not get acquainted with her first-born children, but instead made good friends with the commoner sons of the family, which made Yun more or less uncomfortable.

“Mother doesn’t need to worry about Sister, Sister is very measured in her actions nowadays. And didn’t second brother get that letter of recommendation? I think in a few days when there is a response from the Huzhoufu side, second brother will be going to Huzhoufu.” Wei Qingwan said.

Hearing this, instead of being happy, Yun’s complexion sank another two points.

It was only later that she realized that Wei Jin Yi’s case was bought by Wei Ruo, and the name was also filled in by Wei Ruo.

Although there is no problem with this, but the daughter treats her concubine brother so kindly, but treats her own brother somewhat distantly, is what Yun does not want to see.

Yun then looked at Wei Qingwan who was beside her, who was sharing her worries, and couldn’t help but sigh again.

Within Listening Pine Court, the relevant rumors and speculations Wei Ruo had heard.

Compared to the situation in the Wei Mansion, Wei Ruo was more worried about Xu Zhengyong’s situation.

Generally speaking new recruits into the military camp is to go through a period of training before going to war, but that is the usual, now the situation is urgent, he was urgently enlisted in the army for fear that it is because of the lack of manpower, surely won’t give him too much time to train to adapt.

And the newer the recruit the more likely he is to be sent charging into battle.

I don’t know if Brother Yong has turned in his organ crossbow and if it has been recognized.

If we can gain recognition, it should be helpful to Isamu’s position in the army, and it will also increase our troop strength, making Isamu’s situation relatively safer.

The original Xu Zhengyong did not follow him to Xingshan County, nor did he follow him to war, so Wei Ruo could not predict Xu Zhengyong’s end.

Some bored Wei Ru came to Ying Zhu Yuan to look for Wei Jin Yi, and entered the door to see Wei Jin Yi playing chess with himself.

Wei Ruo took a seat next to him.

She didn’t have much talent in playing chess, especially Weiqi which was a brain-intensive chess weight, she could only read and understand a general idea, she didn’t have the slightest idea of how to play it or how to play it.

“Do you want to try?” Wei Jin also stopped and asked.

“Don’t don’t, it’s too brain-intensive, I’m not suitable for this.” Wei Ruo waved her hand repeatedly and refused.

“The farming thing takes just as much brain power, and there are different methods of planting and caring for different crops, and you can remember them all.”

“There are specialties in the arts, and different lines of work use different brains. I can’t play chess anyway.”

Wei Ruo supported his chin with one hand, looking at the chessboard in front of him thoughtfully.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she wasn’t looking at the chess game, but was thinking about something else.

“Something on your mind?” Wei Jin also very keenly noticed that Wei Ruo’s complexion was a bit bad today.

“Has Second Brother heard that there’s going to be a war?” Wei Ruo asked.

“I heard about it, sooner or later.” Wei Jin also had a calm face.

“Does Second Brother think we can win this battle?” Wei Ruo asked.

“Eighty percent chance of winning.” Wei Jin also replied.

“Why 80%?”

“Thirty percent for father, ten percent for that nobleman in Xingshan County today, twenty percent for the additional troops sent by the imperial court, and twenty percent for a good news rumored in the army today.” Wei Jin also replied.

“Why does Second Brother feel that the nobleman who was recently in Xingshan County can still account for 10% in itself?” Wei Ruo wondered.

Chu Lan’s biggest role in this war should be that he asked the imperial court to send more troops to Xing Shan County, but why did he alone still account for 10%?

“He’s not a simple rich kid, he has brains, understands the art of war, and is good at using people.” Wei Jin also replied.

Wei Ruo looked at Wei Jin Yi with even more curiosity.

She knew what Wei Jin Yi said because that was how the original portrayed Chu Lan.

But why would Ergo, who was in the middle of a mansion and hardly ever went out, assess it so accurately.

Wei Jin also noticed Wei Ruo looking at his own gaze, and explained unhurriedly, “I like to read books, and also like to listen to some rumors, even though I am in a deep house, I also have enough understanding of the outside world.”

“Second brother, you really are very good, if you go for the imperial examinations, the probability of success is still very high.” Wei Ruo had more and more confidence in Wei Jin Yi.

Wei Ruo held her chin with both hands, a look of adoration on her face, her eyes seemed to be sprouting little stars.

Wei Jin Yi laughed, then his right hand couldn’t help but reach out to Wei Ruo’s head, and when he was about to make a head-touching gesture, Wei Jin Yi stopped violently.

“What are you doing, Ergo?”

“It’s nothing.” Wei Jin Yi was busy taking his hand back, then found a lame excuse, “Dead leaves fell on your head.”

“But even if this battle can be won, it doesn’t ensure that my friends will survive.” Wei Ruo’s worry continued unabated.

Just because the war will be won doesn’t mean that everyone on the winning side will come back alive.

“Is it the friend you mentioned last time?” Last time Wei Ruo also mentioned a friend.

“Well, that’s the one, he joined the army, and it was for him that I rushed to make the gold sore medicine last time.” Wei Ruo replied.

Join the army, then you’re a man.

And those who can make Wei Ruo worry like this are bound to have an unusual relationship.

“Did your friend come to Xing Shan County for you?” Wei Jin also asked.

Wei Ruo had arrived in Xing Shan County only a few months ago, and since then he would rarely come into contact with outsiders.

So this friend, most likely, was someone Wei Ruo knew when he was in Huzhoufu.

“Sort of.” Wei Ruo replied.

Nurse and Uncle Xu are here, and Little Yong is definitely coming along.

Wei Jin also lowered his head to fiddle with his chess game again.

For two days in a row, the people living in the eastern part of the city could hear loud noises coming from the east, and sometimes they could see flames through the sky.

This adds to the cloud that hangs over Hinson County.

These days no matter whether it is the Qian House or the Xie House all stopped classes. Wei Qingwan and Wei Ruo stayed at home and did not go out again.

Inside the Listening Pine Garden, Wei Ruo was looking at the account book.

Xiu Mei trotted into the room, “Miss, Sister Li …… Sister Li was picked up and returned to the house!”

“Isn’t it less than three months?” Wei Ruo asked.

“I heard that it was the second young miss who gave the plea to allow Sister Li to come back to the mansion to be punished instead, with an additional three months of monthly money.”

Wei Ruo hummed lightly, “But what a way to go.”

“Miss, Sister Li is now at the entrance of our courtyard, saying that she is coming to kowtow to you.” Xiu Mei frowned with an annoyed expression.

If you come back, then come back. Why come back to find out what’s wrong?

“Let’s go, go to the meeting, it just so happens that I’ve been bored to death for the past two days! I’m worried that Brother Xiaoyong has nowhere to relieve his bitterness!” Wei Ruo said.
