Blessed Daughter

When he got a little closer and could see more clearly, Wei Ruo saw that there were five people in this group, four of them were wearing uniform clothes, and he surrounded the fifth person in the middle to shield him from the wind and snow.

Because the people surrounded were tightly wrapped, Wei Ruo couldn't see the appearance of that person for a while.

But Wei Ruo could tell that the four people in charge of protection should have good skills. At this time, the heavy snow was already above their knees, and they could sweep away the thick snow neatly to open the way, while moving forward in an orderly manner.

It is estimated that Lu Yuhong and others have also noticed this, so they have no idea of ​​helping.

Not long after, these people came to Wei Ruo's shed.

"You guys, free up this shed!"

A man walking in the front spoke to everyone in an arrogant tone.

Everyone didn't move, just sat and watched.

Then a man in a cloak came out from behind.

At the beginning, the hat of the cloak covered most of his face, and after the hat was taken off, everyone could see his true face.

It was a man in his fifties, with gray hair and a ram beard. His face was slightly wrinkled, and his face was pale and his lips were slightly purple because of the cold.

Aside from his complexion, the man is full of heaven, his eyes are bright, his figure is tall and straight, and his bearing is extraordinary.

The man yelled at his servant: "Don't be rude!"

Immediately afterwards, he said to the people in the shed: "My little friends, I'm really sorry, my servant was a little rude just now, I hope you will be happy."

The man continued: "My surname is Tan. Passing by here, I was caught in a snowstorm and couldn't advance or retreat. I only brought some snacks and snacks in the car to satisfy my hunger. I had to ask my servants to protect me and find a place to take refuge. But I didn't see you on the way. Human figure, it took me half a day to meet your group, and I took the liberty to come here to beg for food, if you guys are willing to help, I would like to thank you a lot."

The man is polite and humble.

Xu Fengyuan and the others didn't speak at the moment, and they were only able to stay here because of the help of the eldest lady of the Wei family. Whether they want to help this man depends on Wei Ruo's wishes.

Wei Ruo turned around and gave Xiumei a look, Xiumei understood, and handed the leftover sweet potatoes and taro to the man.

"If you don't mind, sir, I'll give you these."

Before the man could make a sound, the servant at the side scolded: "Bold, how can my husband eat such a vulgar thing?"

"Don't talk nonsense. How can food be vulgar or not? As long as it can satisfy the hunger, it is worth cherishing." The man reprimanded the servant again.

Immediately afterwards, the man reached out to take a roasted sweet potato, looked at the thing in his hand, and ordered the servant to give Xiumei money.

Wei Ruo interrupted: "No need, it's fate to meet you today in this wind and snow. If you don't mind, you can eat these roasted sweet potatoes and roasted taro. If it's not enough, I can roast some more for you."

"Then I would like to thank this girl." The man thanked.

Then the man's servant peeled the outer skin of the sweet potato for the man, and served the man with the orange-yellow potato meat inside.

Lu Yuhong and Xu Fengyuan frowned slightly. From the manner in which the man ate the roasted sweet potatoes, they felt again that the status of the man in front of him was either rich or noble.

However, neither of them could guess the man's identity. Lu Yuhong had never seen this man in the capital for many years.

After eating a whole sweet potato, the man couldn't help commenting: "Although this thing looks inconspicuous, it tastes really good, sweet, soft and sticky."

Wei Ruo saw that this person was very polite, polite, and had a kind smile, so he asked Xiumei to bring him another bowl of wine.

The man's servant was a little worried: "Sir, let this subordinate try it for you first."

Looking at the servant's appearance, he seemed to be worried that there was something wrong with the wine in the bowl.

The man smiled and said: "Don't be nervous. In this heavy snow, I have never met a few friends. They are willing to give me a share of food. It is kindness. Why do you want to harm me?"

After finishing speaking, the man savored carefully.

Then the man showed surprise: "Could this wine be the rumored thyme?"

"Mister also knows thyme?" Wei Ruo asked.

"Yes, someone gave me a small jar of thyme before, and I thought it was very good. But I heard that this wine is very difficult to buy, and it is only sold in Taizhou Prefecture. Therefore, when I passed by Taizhou Prefecture this time, I still thought of it. Taizhou government bought a few jars."

Wei Ruo didn't expect her thyme to spread so widely, and people from other places came here admiringly.

Xu Fengyuan explained to the man: "Sir, this thyme is not easy to buy in Taizhou Prefecture. Usually, one person can only buy one pot at a time. You have to make an appointment with the shopkeeper of Zuixianju as early as possible."

"Is that so?" The man's face showed a little surprise and a little disappointment.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at the bowl in his hand and said doubtfully, "Then this is..."

Wei Ruodao: "I just got a jar from a friend today, and put it on the carriage to take back to the city. I didn't want to meet this snowstorm, so I gave it to everyone to drink to warm up."

"Girl actually gave us such a rare good wine." The man said with emotion.

"A good knife is used on its blade, and so is a good wine. In this situation, this wine can warm you up and make friends. It's a good time for it to be useful." Wei Ruo explained.

"Young lady's words are wonderful!" The man couldn't help but praised, and couldn't help but look at Wei Ruo more.

"If sir doesn't mind, let's sit down together and have a drink while warming up by the fire." Wei Ruo said.

In the current situation, this old gentleman can't go anywhere else, and it is really difficult for him to go back and forth again.

"Thank you, girl." The man thanked.

Then Xu Fengyuan made room for him.

Before the man took his seat, his servant wanted to take off his clothes to cover the man, but the man stopped him.

After the man sat down, he warmed himself to the fire and drank wine like everyone else.

Then Wei Ruo brought out a bag of charcoal fires, filled both stoves, and brought out some raw sweet potatoes, put them in the brazier to roast.

When the newly roasted sweet potatoes in the brazier were cooked, Xiumei would roast them and distribute them to the man's servants.

The man's four servants quickly refused: "I don't dare, if the girl has any extra food, please share it with my husband."

"Eat, at my lady's place, there are only people who are suffering from cold and starvation. There is no master or servant. What your master eats, you also have. The servants are also human beings, and they are also hungry and have to eat." Xiumei said.

The four were surprised, as if they didn't expect them to have a share.

"Take it quickly, and I'll get you some wine. It's just that the bowls are not enough, can the four of you just take the jars and share the drinks?" Xiumei urged.

The four were even more surprised and looked at each other a few times, but they didn't move.

"Is it going to work?" Xiumei asked again.
