A Blessed Daughter

  Chapter 43 I can help you

  Wei Jinyi is not even a child, let alone a scholar, a scholar, or a Jinshi.

   Never even passed the exam.

  Although he is an unfavored bastard, if he wants to take the exam, Wei Mingting and Yun's family should agree. It would be an honor for the family if he passed the exam.

   "The previous ambition is not here." Wei Jin also replied.

   "Once upon a time?"

"Um."

   "Changed now?"

   "There have been some changes."

   "So you want to take the exam?" Wei Ruo asked.

  Wei Jinyi is only sixteen now. Although he started the exam later than Wei Yichen and the others, it is not too late in this era when scholars take the imperial examination for life.

  Wei Jin didn't answer the question, but asked about Wei Ruo: "I heard that your mother is arranging for you to go to the county magistrate's class."

   "Yeah, I hope she arranges it a little slower."

   "You don't want to go?" Wei Jin also asked.

   "Well, I don't want to go." Wei Ruo flattened his lips and sighed helplessly.

   "Is it because you don't want to go to class or go to the county magistrate?" Wei Jinyi asked again.

   "Although I don't really want to go to class, but in comparison, I still don't want to go to class with Wei Qingwan more." Wei Ruo replied.

  Probably because of the life-threatening friendship, Wei Ruo became much less defensive towards Wei Jinyi, and said some things that should not be said to other members of the Wei family to Wei Jinyi.

  And what happened last time, Wei Jin also knew about it.

  Wei Ruo said: "Actually, I wanted to find another female husband, but it was rejected. I don't know how long I can use the wasteland in the south of the city to delay."

In fact, Wei Ruo himself has the financial strength to afford to hire a female gentleman, Shu Xiu, and he also has a way to hire a passable female gentleman, but it is a bit troublesome to ask the captain's mansion to nod this without revealing himself. At present, Wei Ruo has not thought of a suitable solution to the problem.

  Wei Jin also stared at the worried Wei Ruo, and said, "I can help you hire a famous female gentleman."

   "Can you invite a famous female gentleman?" Wei Ruo looked at Wei Jinyi suspiciously.

   Famous female gentlemen are not easy to hire, and it is not something that can be done with money.

   "My biological mother was born in a scholarly family, so I have some connections in this regard. I also have some contacts with people on my biological mother's side. It shouldn't be too difficult to find a female gentleman for you." Wei Jin also explained.

  Wei Ruo didn't know much about the situation of Wei Jinyi's biological mother, but seeing Wei Jinyi's serious expression, he knew that he sincerely wanted to help her, and he was confident that he could do it for her.

   Then Wei Ruo stopped being polite to him.

   "If it's a famous female gentleman, maybe I can find a way to settle this matter and get them to agree that I won't study with Wei Qingwan." Wei Ruo suddenly had an idea in his mind.

  Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo's upturned mouth and clever and sly eyes, vaguely looking forward to her next arrangement on this matter.

  After Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi chatted for a while, Xiumei and Xiaobei came back with prepared dishes.

  Three dishes and one soup, steaming hot, full of fragrance in the courtyard.

  Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to sit down and eat together, and Wei Jin also called Xiaobei to serve.

  They are not rigid people. Today, there are no others around, so there is no need for the master and servants to distinguish so clearly.

   Four people sat on the small stone table in the octagonal pavilion. Three of the four dishes this time were not spicy.

  Wei Ruo told Wei Jinyi in advance that the plate of fried chicken giblets would choke people just like the seafood hot pot last time, and told him not to touch it and drink more chicken soup.

  Wei Jinyi did not try chicken offal at first, but after tasting the other three dishes, Wei Jinyi still tasted chicken offal.

  Having the experience of choking last time, this time he took small bites and chewed slowly.

   seems to want to figure out why this stimulating taste attracts Wei Ruo so much.

   Seeing that he tried again, Wei Ruo looked at him curiously.

   Seeing that he was not choked like last time, he asked, "How is it?"

   "I don't think it's delicious, and it's not hard to swallow." Wei Jin also commented.

   "After that, if you have the opportunity to eat it a few more times, maybe you will fall in love with this taste."

"Um."

  Because it was inconvenient to move, Wei Ruo stayed in the pavilion of Yingzhuyuan all afternoon, and Xiumei brought some account books for her.

  She and Wei Jinyi were on one side, he looked at his, she looked at hers, they didn't disturb each other, and they didn't talk during the period, they got along very quietly.

   On the way, Wei Jin also caught a glimpse of Wei Ruo's handwriting on the paper. The handwriting is extremely immature, as if she has just practiced handwriting, and the only person in the family who can compare with her handwriting is the seven-year-old Wei Yilin.

  After having another dinner together at night, Wei Ruocai, supported by Xiumei, bounced back to Songyuan.

  After Wei Ruo left, Wei Jin also wrote a letter and handed it to Xiao Bei to send it out of the house.

   When he came back, Xiaobei brought a reply, saying that they will definitely take care of what the young master explained.

  After the ear seeds passed, the temperature picked up, but it was still a little lower than in previous years.

  Some old farmers are already worried about this year's harvest. According to this situation, this year's harvest will still not be good, and may even be worse than the past two years.

   After a few days of recuperation, Wei Ruo recovered completely, so he went to the wasteland in the south of the city again.

  The experimental site selected by her has been freed of weeds, and the first batch of furfural residue and humus that have been hydrolyzed by sealed fermentation have been placed.

  These things are acidic, which can well neutralize the alkalinity of the saline-alkali land, making the soil suitable for ordinary crops.

  Wei Ruo arranged for Changgong to carry out the second humus landfill today.

  Neither the two long-term workers nor Nanny Zhang understood Wei Ruo's arrangement, but they all completed the work well.

   Today Wei Ruo wanted to work in the field by himself for a while, but was persuaded by Madam Zhang, who asked Wei Ruo to stay in the carriage. If there is anything to do, just tell them.

  Wei Ruo had no choice but to lean in the carriage, arranging to direct the work of the two long-term workers and Madam Zhang.

  At noon, Wei Ruo sat down to rest under the camphor tree next to the experimental field, with Xiumei on her left and Nanny Zhang on her right. The two long-term workers are by the small river farther away.

  Xiumei took out the lunch she had prepared before leaving the house: braised pork over rice, served with a pile of boiled cabbage hearts.

  For the same lunch, Wei Ruo also prepared a portion for Nanny Zhang and the two long-term workers who were traveling with her, and each portion was packed in a separate food box.

  Xiumei gave one food box to Nanny Zhang, then went to the small river and gave the other two to Agui and Xiaoba.

   Nanny Zhang and the two long-term workers were stunned when they got the food box.

  Missy actually prepared a copy for these servants!

   "Don't just stare at it, eat it quickly. It's all ordered, how can I work if I don't have enough food." Wei Ruo said to the three of them.

  The three came back to their senses, quickly put down the steamed buns they brought, and opened the food box Wei Ruo gave.

  There is meat! Huge chunks of meat!

  The eyes of Nanny Zhang and the two long-term workers burst out with excitement.
