A Blessed Daughter

  Chapter 81 Wei Mingting is also promoted

  Wei Ruo continued to say to Xu Zhengyong: "Don't worry about the medicine, just write to me if you need anything, and I will prepare everything for you."

   "Sister Ruo'er, you are so kind to me! Having this girl, I, Xu Zhengyong, is worthy of my life!" Xu Zhengyong was deeply moved.

   "Anyway, the first thing is to protect your own safety." Wei Ruo urged again.

  Brother Xiaoyong sometimes acts impulsively and recklessly, so she has to nag a little.

   "Well, don't worry, Ruo'er, I know it." Xu Zhengyong agreed with a smile.

   "By the way, Meimei brought you a lot of things." Wei Ruo said and pulled Xiumei up.

  Xiumei looked a little shy, and after hesitating for a moment, she simply stuffed the cloth bag she carried into Xu Zhengyong's arms.

   "What are you doing? Are you taking the opportunity to beat me up?" Xu Zhengyong asked.

  The force with which he threw the package was almost as strong as someone else's force for beating him.

   "Why beat you up and give you good things, those are all supplements, to replenish your body." Xiumei explained.

   Knowing that the package was full of supplements for himself, Xu Zhengyong couldn't help grinning: "Meimei, you are so kind to me! Even if you don't want to be my junior sister, you can still be my wife!"

   "What are you talking about!" Xiumei got annoyed immediately, and threw her fist at Xu Zhengyong.

  Xu Zhengyong ran away in a hurry. When he ran away, he hugged the baggage tightly in his arms, and he was not willing to let go.

   "Xu Zhengyong, stop!" Xiumei shouted.

  Xu Zhengyong ran fast, shouting as he ran: "If you don't stop, you will be beaten to death if you stop! I was not injured on the battlefield. If I am paralyzed by you when I come back, how can I explain to my comrades in arms?"

  Wei Ruo and the nanny shook their heads helplessly. They were used to this kind of fighting between the two. Anyway, nothing would really happen in the end, so they just let them go.

  Wei Ruo and Xiumei stayed at Xu's house until dusk, but it was too late and had to leave, so they said goodbye to Xu's family, took a carriage and returned to Xiaowei's Mansion.

  ###

   Two days later, there was also good news from the Wei Mansion.

  Xu Zhengyong's promotion from soldier to deputy settled the general matter.

  Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to deliver the medicines she had packed. He wanted to prepare more, but time was running out, and he was afraid that Xu Zhengyong would return to the barracks any longer.

  At the same time, good news came from the Wei family, and Wei Mingting was also promoted.

  The actual position was promoted from Vice President Qian to Chief Qian, and at the same time, the false position was also promoted from the sixth-rank captain Zhongxian to the sixth-rank captain Zhaoxin.

   For a moment, the captain's mansion was immersed in cheers.

  Wei Mingting has been in the position of Vice President for a long time, and has not been promoted for a long time.

  A while ago, I was still worried that I might be dismissed or demoted.

   Now it’s better, the haze has dissipated, and I’m beaming.

   "Hurry up, write a letter to the capital, and tell the good news to the people in the Bofu!"

  The Yun family arranged for the eldest son Wei Yichen to write a letter to the Zhongyi Bofu in Beijing to report the good news.

  Although the capital city will definitely know the news before them, as a junior, I should still write a letter to explain the situation in the mansion.

   Then he ordered the mansion to prepare a celebration banquet for her husband. Of course, this banquet was just a gathering of family members for a meal. Wei Mingting had ordered that no extravagance be allowed.

  Recently, the situation in Xingshan County is not good. Many people's rice fields are not in good condition. Moreover, the weather this year feels colder earlier than in previous years. All signs indicate that this year will be difficult.

  Under such a background, it is really not appropriate to be too extravagant and wasteful.

  At night, the Wei family gathered together.

  Wei Jin, who rarely appeared in the dining hall, also appeared today for the first time.

   Seeing Wei Jinyi, Yun was slightly taken aback.

   "Mother." Wei Jin also greeted Yun.

   "En." Yun replied, but didn't say anything.

  Thinking about the special situation today, it is reasonable for him to come to have a meal together. She was also surprised because he hadn't come to the dining hall to have a meal with everyone for a long time, so she didn't recover for a while.

  Wei Yichen came forward to greet Wei Jinyi: "Second brother, how are you doing?"

   "Fair." Wei Jinyi's answer was as dull as ever, just like his expression.

   "When will the second brother go to Huzhou Prefecture?" Wei Yichen asked again.

   "It should take some days." Wei Jin also said.

   "If you need anything, tell your brother." Wei Yichen said.

  Wei Jin also nodded.

  Wei Qingwan's eyes were on Wei Ruo. Today, Wei Ruo was wearing a light green satin skirt and a simple bun. She looked smart and bright.

  When the father is promoted, the eldest daughter in the family will have more weight. Wei Qingwan knew very well that the more wealthy the family, the more attention should be paid to the order of seniority.

  When it comes to marriage in the future, the eldest daughter will be more dominant.

  Thinking of this, Wei Qingwan's expression darkened involuntarily.

  Wei Ruo didn't pay attention to the expressions of other people. He was standing in the corner of the dining room, but his mind was on other things.

  She has a lot of things to worry about recently. Apart from the sweet potatoes in Xiaoyang Mountain in the north of the city, the improvement of the wasteland in the south of the city, and the Xie family's medicine fields, Wei Ruo is also planning to use the five hundred taels of silver she just saved to buy grain and coal from other places.

  Wei Ruozheng was in a daze, and Wei Mingting appeared in the dining room in casual clothes.

   "Father." Wei Yichen stepped forward to say hello.

"Um."

  Wei Mingting responded, and then his eyes fell on Wei Jinyi behind Wei Yichen.

   "Are you willing to come out and walk around today?"

   "Yes." Wei Jin also responded, his voice as dull as ever.

  It seems that no matter who is standing opposite, he always reacts like this.

   "It's so good, but we should move around more, instead of being bored in the yard all the time." Wei Mingting said in a relieved tone.

   Immediately afterwards, Wei Mingting's eyes fell on Wei Qingwan and Wei Ruo.

   "Father." Wei Qingwan called obediently.

  Because Wei Ruo was thinking about the problem, his reaction was much slower. When he realized that Wei Mingting was looking at him, he called out: "Father."

   "Yes." Wei Mingting responded.

   "Sit down."

   Wei Mingting spoke, and everyone took their seats one by one.

   Now in Xingshan County, there are less rules. If it is in the Zhongyibo Mansion in the capital, according to the age of the children in the family, it is necessary to separate tables for men and women.

  The big round table is full of various dishes.

  Tonight's dishes are extraordinarily rich: home-cooked large yellow croaker, wheat shrimp, salt-roasted pork liver, steamed swimming crab, dumpling cake tube, tofu balls, boiled chicken...

   You can clearly see a lot more seafood.

   After the victory in the battle, some fishermen caught it after going out to sea. They specially sent the seafood to Xiaowei's Mansion to thank Wei Mingting for defeating the Japanese pirates.

Wei Mingting was delighted when he saw it, not only because of the delicious dishes in front of him at the moment, but also because it meant that the people in the city could resume fishing for a living, so it was a blessing for Xingshan County, a county with extremely poor agriculture. Big good news.

  At this time, Wei Jin also asked Xiaobei to bring in a jar.

   "What good things did Jin Yi bring here?" Wei Mingting asked curiously.
