Chapter 59： bring shame on oneself

Chapter 59 Self-inflicted humiliation

"Huh? Brother, what is he doing here? Isn't he preparing for the imperial examination? Shouldn't he be too busy to leave the class in the academy in the capital." Xie Ying asked.

"My mother is not very clear about this matter. Anyway, your grandfather and your father both agreed, and you must have something to do before you come here."

"Oh, fine. Regardless of that, I'll go to Wei Qingruo first and tell her that my mother has agreed with us to set up a medicine field, and I want to do it right away!"

Xie Ying hurried back to the school, found Wei Ruo, and told her the news.

"Wei Qingruo, my mother has already agreed, when can we start?" Xie Ying was eager to try.

"I can do it right away." Wei Ruo likes this style of doing things without delay.

"Then tell me quickly, what we are going to do now, how to arrange the work, what things we need to buy, and how many people we need." Xie Ying sat down next to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo took out a pen and paper, and while explaining to Xie Ying, marked the key points on the paper.

Xie Ying listened very carefully, pointing out anything she didn't understand, with a serious and studious look.

After finishing the work, I took the paper written by Wei Ruo to find Mrs. Xie to borrow someone, and started working officially, with extremely high efficiency.

Chu Lan was also efficient in handling affairs. After only two days, she sent a nanny to Xiaowei's Mansion to discuss with Wei Ruo about the south of the city.

For this reason, Wei Ruo specially asked Mr. Wang for leave and stayed at home to arrange various things.

Mr. Wang did not object to this arbitrarily, and told Wei Ruo that what she is doing now is also a part of learning.

Seeing the nanny sent by Chu Lan, Yun's heart was startled, and she intuitively knew that the other party's background was not even the slightest difference from her own nanny.

In addition, her husband reminded her last night that the nobleman had an unusual status, so she was asked to be careful.

After hearing that the other party's surname is Chu, Mrs. Yun already knew a thing or two. People in the royal family, even those who belong to the unfavorable prince's family, they can't afford to offend.

Mr. Yun respectfully led the nanny sent by Chu Lan to Tingsongyuan, and then told Wei Ruo a few words before leaving in time, so as not to delay Wei Ruo and the nanny talking about business.

"The old slave has met Miss Wei." Mother Qin saluted Wei Ruo, with a respectful attitude, but her demeanor remained undiminished, and she looked very majestic.

Wei Ruo knew that most of the nuns sent by Chu Lan came from the palace, so they were different from ordinary nuns.

Even though the House of Duke Zhongyi is an earl's house, even in its heyday it could not be compared with the rules of the palace, not to mention it has long since fallen.

"You don't need to be too polite." Wei Ruo said, "Master Ni sent you here to help me, please don't pay too much attention to the other rules, just pass on my meaning and let the people below complete the task properly .”

"Miss Wei, don't worry, the young master has already explained to the old slave. The old slave should do his best to help Miss Wei. If there is anything that Miss Wei needs the old slave to do, as long as it is related to the reclamation of the wasteland in the south of the city, you can order For Lao Nu, Lao Nu will arrange for people to complete it."

Although Mother Qin has very strict rules, she has no airs towards Wei Ruo, nor is she critical of Wei Ruo's faults. She can clearly tell what she is here for. He will find fault with her rules.

Nurse Qin was discussing something with Wei Ruo when Wei Qingwan suddenly entered Tingsong Garden.

"Sister." Wei Qingwan came to Wei Ruo and called out sweetly.

Wei Ruo's eyes froze, and he sized up Wei Qingwan.

The so-called going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, after the oolong incident of Xie's family reading, Wei Qingwan never came to listen to Songyuan. What kind of wind is blowing today that brought her here?

"Sister, I brought you some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes." Wei Qingwan held an exquisite food box in her hand, and when she opened it, it was her specialty pastry, sweet-scented osmanthus cakes.

"Wait a minute, I'll talk to you after I finish talking with Mother Qin."

Wei Ruo didn't know which song Wei Qingwan was singing, she didn't want to talk to Wei Qingwan more, she was afraid that after a few sentences, Wei Qingwan would say something that she disliked and she wouldn't be able to bear it in front of outsiders.

Wei Qingwan nodded slightly, but did not leave, just waited by the side.

At this time, Nanny Qin spoke, and she looked at Wei Qingwan: "This is the second lady of the house, right?"

Seeing Mother Qin looking at herself, Wei Qingwan looked shy, lowered her head slightly, and replied softly: "Yes."

Who would have thought that Mother Qin would immediately say: "Second Miss, please stay away. I have business to discuss with Eldest Miss, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to listen in."

Wei Qingwan was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly changed her words: "Well, then it's really an unlucky time for me to come, so I'll go and wait for my sister first."

"Second Miss did not come by coincidence. I should have known about my visit to the Colonel's Mansion today. I don't know why Second Miss didn't come sooner or later. She chose to come at this time." Mother Qin spoke in a nonchalant manner. Not tactful.

What Mother Qin said was exactly what Wei Ruo thought in her heart. Wei Qingwan's behavior today is really strange. Because of Chu Lan's special status, he sent a mother by his side. People in the family should be careful, even Yingzhuyuan has received the news, it is impossible for Wei Qingwan not to know.

Wei Qingwan knew it clearly, but she chose to meet Wei Ruo at this time. If she said that she had no other intentions, Wei Ruo would not believe it.

But if she had other thoughts, it would be a bit too stupid.

Nurse Qin is someone close to Chu Lan, but no matter what, she is just a nanny. Could it be that she thinks that if she behaves better in front of her, she will say something nice to Chu Lan when she returns? Is she a nanny or a matchmaker?

This would make sense if there were three aunts and six wives in the village, but Nanny Qin is a nanny from the palace.

The royal nurses are very well behaved, how could they do such inexplicable things.

Wei Ruo remembers that although Wei Qingwan in the original book is beautiful and weak, she is not stupid. Could it be that she is missing as a supporting role, or she failed to fall in love with Chu Lan according to the original schedule, which caused her to lose her mind?

I have only heard that love makes people blind, but I have never heard that not falling in love can also make people blind.

After hearing Nanny Qin's words, Wei Qingwan's face turned pale, and she hurriedly explained: "Don't be angry, Mammy, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on my sister's speech, I didn't know that the conversation between Nanny and sister should not be known to outsiders, I I was just worried about my sister's poor reception, so I specially brought some pastries I made over to have a look."

"Excuse me for my blunt words, the eldest lady is the second young lady's sister-in-law, and the second lady said to me, an outsider, that she was worried that the eldest lady would not treat her well, what did she want to tell others?"

Nurse Qin is indeed a person from the palace, with exquisite thoughts, and she can recognize the hidden words in Wei Qingwan's words as soon as she hears them.

Wei Qingwan was immediately ashamed and indignant, and hurriedly explained: "Ma'am, you misunderstood. I didn't mean anything else. It was my inappropriate words that caused a misunderstanding."

Xiumei in the corner: This nanny is a bit handsome.
