A Blessed Daughter

  Chapter 264 Then go together

  Because today is the first day of junior high school, the academy gave the students a day off. And Wei Mingting is still resting at home because of his injuries.

  Now the Yun family has begun to have different seating rules for men and women, so they have two tables for dinner, separated by a screen.

   After dinner, when everyone sits down to drink tea and chat, the female relatives can talk to the men in the family.

  Wei Qingwan first asked about Wei Yichen's situation in the academy these days, and was concerned. Then he told Wei Mingting about the fact that he received an invitation from the Xu family to watch the dragon boat today.

   "Father, Miss Yaojun invited me to watch the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival."

   "Well, it's a good thing, Wanwan should be more careful." Wei Mingting nodded.

   "I'm going that day too, and I'll send Wanwan over there then." Wei Yichen said.

   "Is the eldest brother going too?" Wei Qingwan looked happy.

   "Well, I have made an appointment with Feng Yuan and the others, and Anzhou College will select some students to form a team to participate in the dragon boat competition every year." Wei Yichen explained.

   "Will the big brother not participate?" Wei Yilin asked quickly after hearing the words.

  Wei Yichen smiled and said, "I'm not good at doing this."

  Wei Yichen is good at writing but not good at martial arts, and dragon boat rowing is a very strenuous task, so Wei Yichen naturally did not participate.

  Speaking of it, Wei Yichen said again: "Brother Feng Yuan participated, he has both civil and military skills, you can see his performance that day."

Wei Yilin said sullenly: "We also formed a team in the martial arts school. I wanted to join, but the master said that I was too young, and it would be my turn in a few years. Now only the older brothers are allowed to participate. .”

   While talking, Wei Yilin asked Wei Mingting: "Father, can I watch it that day?"

   It's a bit disappointing that I can't participate, but it would be nice if I could see it for myself.

   "Yes, you can travel with me on the Dragon Boat Festival." Wei Mingting said.

   "Okay!" Wei Yilin's small face immediately showed an excited expression.

   Immediately afterwards, Wei Yilin's eyes fell on Wei Ruo: "Where is Big Sister? Will Big Sister go too?"

  Wei Ruo deliberately didn't interrupt, and quietly sipped tea, but didn't want to be called by Wei Yilin.

  Yun said: "Your elder sister can't go out with you and your father, she can only go with mother."

  Wei Ruodu is fourteen years old, so he can't be taken out by his father to play alone, which is against the rules.

   "Is that so... Is the elder sister going with mother?" Wei Yilin asked again.

   "No, I sent a post with the magistrate today, and Miss Xu's family also invited your elder sister to go with me." Yun replied.

  The post was sent directly to Xiaowei's mansion by someone sent by the Xu family, so it couldn't be hidden from Yun's.

  Hearing this, Wei Qingwan's expression froze slightly, then she looked at Wei Ruo, and said with a smile: "It turns out that my sister is also going, that's really great."

  Wei Ruo replied unhurriedly: "Actually, I planned to reject the invitation. I am not familiar with Miss Xu's family, and I don't really like to join in the fun."

  Hearing this, Yun hurriedly said: "You must not push it away. Mrs. Xu mentioned this to me a few days ago, and my mother has already promised it for you."

   Immediately afterwards, Yun said: "Ruo'er, walking around with other girls from other families in the city will do you more good than harm."

  Wei Ruo's face was a little dark, and Mrs. Yun helped her agree in front of Mrs. Tongzhi without asking her opinion.

  Finding that Wei Ruo's expression was wrong, Yun was a little embarrassed and guilty.

Others have also noticed this, Wei Qingwan hurriedly said: "Sister, Madam Tongzhi likes you very much, that's why she wants you to watch the dragon boat race together, so go together, don't let Madam Tongzhi down kindness."

  Wei Ruo glanced at Wei Qingwan, but then ignored her.

  Because Wei Ruo knew that Wei Qingwan's opening at this moment was mostly to show that she was a caring and good daughter, and if she argued with Wei Qingwan more at this moment, it might give Wei Qingwan a chance to be innocent and wronged.

  Plus she had just slapped her a few days ago, and now there is another dispute, which will make other members of the Wei family suspect that she is targeting her, and instead make her suffer.

  Seeing that Wei Ruo didn't refute, Wei Qingwan pursed her lips, feeling a little disappointed.

  She didn't want Wei Qingruo to watch the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival. The last time we went out together was still vivid in my memory...

  If Wei Qingruo started arguing with her right now, maybe...

  Wei Ruo didn't speak for a long time, and Yun couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Ruo'er, you haven't been back home for a long time, and there are some people who don't know the world, so just believe it, it must be for your own good that mother agrees for you."

   "I see." Although Wei Ruo was dissatisfied with Yun's behavior, he still had a sense of proportion.

  Mr. Yun is the mother, and she can make decisions for her daughter in some matters.

  Wei Ruo was relieved, not only Yun Shi, but Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin were also relieved. The two brothers were worried that Wei Ruo's temper would come into conflict with his mother again, which was the last thing they wanted to see.

  ###

  The fifth day of May.

  Early in the morning, Xiumei got up to help Wei Ruo dress up, because they were going to watch the dragon boat race soon.

   "Give me the most common hair bun, and choose an old dress that I have worn. The style is older and more plain." Wei Ruo instructed Xiumei.

   "Why? Miss, you still have several new clothes in your closet. Recently, I also learned a lot of hair buns that are popular among young girls in the city." Xiumei said.

"Your lady, I don't need to look good today. I won't compete with them. It doesn't do me any good to be attractive. If I can get rewards for being attractive, I can consider dressing up." Wei Ruo replied road.

   How is it that she is more beautiful than other ladies from aristocratic families? So what if people say it looks good? As for her, she has no income of half a penny or silver.

   "Miss is right, so I'll make her look more ordinary and make her makeup rougher!" Xiumei said.

   "Well, my good Meimei understands me!"

  After dressing up, Wei Ruo looked the same as usual, or even worse than usual.

  When we came to the door, two carriages had been waiting for a long time.

   Wei Qingwan, who came out at about the same time, was slightly taken aback when she saw Wei Ruo's outfit, and then lowered her head.

Wei Ruo's gaze also swept over Wei Qingwan. Wei Qingwan was wearing a new dress made at the end of last year, a goose-yellow skirt with flowers embroidered on it, which made her skin extraordinarily delicate, and her figure was exquisite and bright; The bun is the most popular nowadays, and it complements her delicate face, making her look like a lotus emerging from water.

   In such a comparison, Wei Ruo's attire is not only mediocre, but even crude.

   Seeing the outfits of the two, Yun frowned slightly, his eyes lingered on Wei Ruo for a while, hesitant to speak.
