Chapter 108： magistrate's wife

Chapter 108 Madam Prefect

Lu Yuhong said: "I'm only half full. If I'm not ashamed to tire Miss Wei, I have to ask her to make a few more."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuhong sighed: "It would be easy if I could give money for fish, but this is really difficult. I would like to give money, but she is a lady, so I would despise her if I gave her some money. Others are not suitable, she is a girl, and I am a rough guy, don't say she minds or not, if someone hears about it, it will be bad for her reputation."

"I didn't expect you to be careful at this time." Chu Lan said.

"Your Highness, please don't tease me. Although I am a bit rough, I still understand the basic rules." After all, he was also from a famous family.

Speaking of landing, Lu Yuhong said with emotion: "When do you think I can eat Miss Wei's food again next time? Why don't I think of a way to give Miss Wei a big gift, so that she might see it for the sake of the gift?" Last time and next time, I will continue to cook delicious food for me. But how can I legitimately give a big gift to a girl who has not left the court?..."

Lu Yuhong kept talking to himself.

Chu Lan and Xie Jue shook their heads helplessly when they saw him talking like this.

Then no one paid attention to him. Once the foodie’s head is occupied by delicious food, it will be difficult to come out for a while, so let him worry about it by himself. When the time comes, he will think about it.

By the time Wei Ruo and Xiumei returned to the Xie's Bieyuan where they were temporarily staying, Yunshi and Wei Qingwan had already returned.

Seeing Wei Ruo's return, Yun asked about the situation: "Where did Ruo'er and Miss Xie go today?"

"I went on a boat trip to the East Lake." Wei Ruo replied that he didn't plan to tell Yun a word about meeting Chu Lan, Lu Yuhong and Xie Jue.

"Well, this time I have borrowed from Xie's house, next time you go to Xie's house, bring me some gifts and express your affection." Yun said.

"knew."

Wei Ruo turned and left, and Wei Qingwan followed.

Going outside the house, Wei Qingwan came to Wei Ruo and asked, "When my sister went out with Miss Xie today, did you hear Miss Xie talk about her brother?"

Wei Ruo stopped, turned around and looked at Wei Qingwan with great interest.

"Why did you inquire about Mr. Xie?"

"Sister, don't get me wrong. I'm not asking about Mr. Xie. I just heard that Mr. Xie stayed in Taizhou Mansion recently because of Mr. Chu."

Wei Ruo showed a clear expression: "So, you want to inquire about Mr. Chu?"

"Sister, don't misunderstand, Mr. Chu has a special status. If our Wei family is appreciated by Mr. Chu, it will be extremely beneficial to our father and the family. I am not asking this question for myself, but for the Wei family."

"So the way you think of to get the appreciation of Mr. Chu is to sacrifice yourself?" Wei Ruo said.

"Sister said that is to belittle my sister, and my sister has absolutely no such thoughts." Wei Qingwan immediately denied.

"Is it because you know it in your heart, or else, even if I asked you about Mr. Chu, what can you do? Let your father curry favor with him?" Wei Ruo asked back with a smile.

Wei Qingwan said in a calm and unhurried manner, "My sister doesn't mean that, I just want my sister to insinuate Mr. Chu's preferences from Mr. Xie's mouth if he has the opportunity, so that he can act more conveniently if he has the opportunity. Best, if you don't have a chance then just let it go."

"Then you should work hard for the future of the family." Wei Ruo smiled brightly, then turned her head and left.

If you have the ability, you can check it yourself, she won't say anything anyway.

Wei Qingwan looked at Wei Ruo's leaving back and was secretly angry. If she could get relevant information smoothly, would she ask Wei Qingruo? If there was no other way, she would not want to see Wei Qingruo's face!

In the past few days in Fucheng, Wei Ruo has never found a chance to go to Zuixianju, let alone have the opportunity to talk to them about the things she wanted to talk about, so the matter was shelved.

Three days later, early in the morning of the garden party, Yun took Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan out.

Wei Qingwan specially dressed up, wearing the most popular flying fairy bun for unmarried girls nowadays. Wearing a white jacket and skirt, covered with a light pink pair of plackets. Then decorate it with the pearl face that Yun Shi gave her.

By comparison, Wei Ruo's clothes are more conspicuous than Wei Qingwan's, except that the clothes made of cloud brocade are more conspicuous than Wei Qingwan's, her other attire is much lighter, her hairstyle is casual, and she only has a little velvet flower accessories on her head.

Yun Shi asked Wei Ruo: "Why didn't Ruo'er wear the set of gold ornaments that your grandmother gave you?"

"I forgot to bring it." Wei Ruo replied casually.

Actually, there is a belt. In her space, she just doesn't bother to take it out, let alone wear it.

She likes gold, but doesn't like wearing it on her head.

What's more, the one invited by the prefect's wife is not from a famous family. Even if she wears it, she may not be able to earn any face. Everyone knows the current situation of the Wei family, and it is definitely not something that can be changed by dressing up.

And she was not in the mood to fight for such face.

Wei Ruo was a little disappointed when she answered Yun like this, but she had no choice but the matter had come to this point.

On the way there, Mrs. Yun told Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan repeatedly: "The other courtyard that we are going to go to today was built by Prince Huai for his beloved daughter, Princess Jingmin, Madam Yuan, and the regulations are much larger than ordinary mansions. When the time comes, follow me closely and don't get separated."

"Don't worry, mother, my daughter won't run around." Wei Qingwan obediently agreed.

"En." Wei Ruo also responded, but it sounded perfunctory.

"Ruo'er, please be careful for a while, don't lose your manners." Yun's specifically reminded Wei Ruo.

Because Wei Ruo had lived in the countryside before, and had never entered such a house, and he probably had never encountered the battle that he would face soon. Yun was afraid that Wei Ruo would be timid.

"Yeah." Wei Ruo agreed still a little casually.

Wei Qingwan asked Yun's: "Mother, what will we do at the garden party today?"

"Actually, this garden party is mainly for Mrs. Yuan to help Mr. Yuan win over the people under her. It is also specially arranged by Mrs. Yuan to give the wives and ladies of each family an opportunity to get in touch with each other and get to know each other. Some even take this opportunity to see their daughter-in-law. So In addition to ordinary garden tours, tasting tea and enjoying flowers, you will also play some games of flying flowers and connecting words, as long as you don’t make mistakes.”

Even for Wei Qingwan, Yun didn't dare to have too much confidence, let alone Wei Ruo, so she only hoped that her two daughters would not make any serious mistakes.

"Daughter knows, don't worry, mother." Wei Qingwan assured Yun.

Yun continued: "Also, Mrs. Yuan just gave birth half a year ago. I heard that she is still a little weak. Don't rush her."

"I heard that my daughter was born on the way back to Taizhou?" Wei Qingwan asked.

Prefect's wife = Mrs. Yuan = Princess Jingmin
