Chapter 104 Xie Ying's gossip
Wei Ruo is not interested in the activities of a group of ladies and ladies, but he is very interested in wandering the streets of Fucheng.
So after simply dressing up, he happily followed Yun's out.
However, Yun asked Wei Ruo and Wei Qingruo to stay in the carriage as much as possible. If they want to get out of the carriage and enter the shop, they must wear a veiled hat and not take it off easily, and the maids must follow closely behind.
Wei Ruo naturally couldn't stay, so he got out of the car when he got to a lively place, and wandered around among the vendors in various shops.
After walking around for a while, I met Xie Ying.
"Ruo Ruo!"
Xie Ying spotted Wei Ruo first with sharp eyes, and she ran towards Wei Ruo bouncing around.
Different from Wei Ruo wearing a veiled hat, Xie Ying didn't cover up and was graceful.
"If you are dressed like this, how inconvenient, if I don't recognize the material I personally selected, I wouldn't even recognize you." Xie Ying said.
The clothes Wei Ruo is wearing now were rushed out recently, and they are made of the brocade that Xie Ying gave her.
Wei Ruo smiled, and could only say that Xie Ying's family really dotes on Xie Ying, and she can let her temper go.
"By the way, why did you come to Fucheng? I didn't hear you mention it before." Wei Ruo asked Xie Ying.
"I didn't come to Fucheng because of the invitation of the magistrate's wife. Although my grandfather has been promoted to the fourth rank, my father is still an official with sesame seeds and mung beans, and because my mother was born in a merchant, their pedantic people somewhat look down on them. Of course my mother I'm too lazy to be with them, so I'm not happy." Xie Ying explained.
"Then why did you come?" Wei Ruo asked curiously.
"I'm here to play. My brother is here. If you're not here for a few days, I told my mother to let the husband rest for a few days. My mother agreed." Xie Ying said proudly.
"So it is."
"Ruoruo, my brother booked a cruise ship on East Lake, you can go play with me!" Xie Ying said to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo looked back at the carriage behind him, Yun Shi was still in the carriage.
Seeing Wei Ruo's concerns, Xie Ying said, "Don't worry, I'll let my mother tell the story. I won't talk about my brother, but just the two of us. There's such a large group of servants behind me. Your mother has no reason, no?" Yes."
After speaking, Xie Ying explained the matter to the nanny who followed her.
Then Mammy walked to the carriage of Wei's family and talked with Mrs. Yun in the carriage. Soon Mammy came back and told Wei Ruo and Xie Ying that Mrs. Wei agreed.
"Let's go." Xie Ying took Wei Ruo's hand, and the two got into Xie's carriage and headed towards East Lake.
As soon as she got in the car, Xie Ying took off the veiled hat that Wei Ruo was wearing, which she thought was an eyesore.
On the way to East Lake, Wei Ruo asked Xie Ying: "Is your brother in Fucheng these days because of that nobleman?"
"That's right, he didn't go into details, but I guessed it, most likely it's because of His Highness the Seventh Highness." Xie Ying said.
Immediately afterwards, he said to Wei Ruo: "Actually, your Wei family also knows that he is His Royal Highness, right? There are people in your capital, so there is no reason why you don't know."
Wei Ruo nodded, and then said: "I just don't know why he stayed in Taizhou for so long. If it is because of the Japanese pirates, he has won a battle now, and he can explain it when he returns to Beijing. As for As for the matter in the wasteland in the south of my city, he can just keep his subordinates around, and such a trivial matter can’t be bothered by him personally watching over it.”
"I've heard a rumor about this matter." Xie Ying said.
"Rumor?"
"I told you, don't talk about it outside." Xie Ying whispered.
"Um."
"I heard that His Highness the Seventh Prince may be looking for the prince who was born by the previous empress."
"Didn't the princes born to the previous empress die as soon as they were born?" Wei Ruo asked.
"I don't know the specific situation, but I heard that she didn't die back then, and was secretly sent to Jiangnan by the former queen's natal family, Xu Guogong's old department. But there is another news that Xu Guogong's old department was captured and had close ties with the Jiangnan area. I suspect that the prince is still alive." Xie Ying shared some gossip she had heard.
It is not known whether it is true or not.
"That should be a misunderstanding." Wei Ruo muttered.
Because in the original book, the Ninth Prince who died young did not appear, and he did not appear until the male protagonist Chu Lan ascended the throne, so it should not exist.
"I also think it is more likely to be a misunderstanding. If it is really alive, it will be messed up." Xie Ying muttered, but didn't say much.
There are some things that are enough to be curious about, and stop as soon as they are clicked. No matter how much, you will cause trouble for yourself and your family.
Not long after, the carriage arrived at the East Lake.
Xie Ying and Wei Ruo got out of the car with the help of the maid.
On the shore, Xie Jue was waiting for his sister to arrive.
I thought that the only person who came was my naughty younger sister, but I didn't expect Wei Ruo to be with her.
The moment he saw Wei Ruo, the smile on Xie Jue's face widened. He stared at Wei Ruo, who was wearing a light blue satin skirt and a simple but smart bun.
Wei Ruo walked up to Xie Jue, and gave a slight salute: "I have met Mr. Xie."
"Don't be too polite." Xie Jue said, he didn't know where to put the right hand holding the fan.
Xiu Mei, who was following Wei Ruo, wanted to laugh a little, thinking that Mr. Xie was subconsciously nervous when he saw her and the young lady because he was beaten by him last time, right?
"Stop dawdling, get on the boat." Xie Ying was impatient and didn't like dawdling, so she dragged Wei Ruo onto the boat before her brother could react.
Xie Jue quickly followed and gave the order to sail.
The cruise ship gradually left the shore and rowed towards the center of East Lake.
Wei Ruo and Xie Ying were sitting in the tearoom of the cabin, watching the scenery on the lake through the raised gauze curtain.
The breeze is blowing, and the water is slightly rippling.
Looking at the teapot in front of him, Wei Ruo took out two paper bags from the brocade bag he was carrying, gave one to Xie Ying and one to himself.
After opening the paper bag, pour the contents into the teacup, and then pour the hot water on board for brewing.
"What is this?" Xie Ying asked curiously.
"Anther tea." Wei Ruo replied, "It uses dried honeysuckle, dried jasmine, and a few herbs that regulate qi and nourish blood. The mixture is sweet and not astringent. Try it."
Hearing this, Xie Ying also hurriedly brewed her own.
Before tasting, Xie Jue walked in and joked with a smile: "Sister Wei, I also want to ask for a cup of this herbal tea."
Xie Ying gave Xie Jue a white look: "Brother, why do you like Ruoruo's things so much?"
"Sister Wei's stuff is good, and you can't buy it anywhere else. If you don't seize the opportunity to ask for a piece at this moment, you will lose it later." Xie Jue told the truth.
"That seems to be right." Xie Ying agreed.
Wei Ruo smiled, then took out all the remaining tea bags from the brocade bag, and handed them to Xie Jue: "Young Master Xie likes it, so I will give it all to Young Master Xie."
