Chapter 300： not against your will

Chapter 300 will not be against your will

Immediately afterwards, Wei Yichen took out a letter written by Xu Fengyuan from his arms: "It is not appropriate for women in the boudoir to have correspondence with foreign men. Today's letter is from Brother Xu asking you why you are against the marriage of the two families. After reading it, don't reply to the letter. Tell Big Brother, Big Brother will help you bring the message to Brother Xu."

Wei Ruo looked at Wei Yichen's serious expression, and asked, "Big brother will really help me with a message? Even if I want to ruin this marriage?"

"As long as it is not out of line, I will help you bring it, and I will not go against your wishes." Wei Yichen promised.

Wei Ruo didn't answer, but looked at Wei Yichen.

Wei Yichen felt that Wei Ruo didn't trust him, and felt a little lost, but he felt helpless, so he added: "The lintel of the Wei family should be supported by the men in the family, and it will never be strengthened by relying on a woman's high marriage."

Wei Yichen was deeply influenced by his father Wei Mingting in this regard, and believed that the sisters in the family should grow up pampered and have a smooth life.

Wei Ruo said: "Then there will be Brother Lao."

Then he took the letter from Wei Yichen's hand and opened it in front of Wei Yichen.

The content is quite simple, and there is nothing beyond the rules. The meaning expressed throughout the article is: politely ask Wei Ruoke what is dissatisfied with the Xu family towards him, or what misunderstandings, and hope that we can solve the problem in time. Communicate and avoid misunderstandings.

And in order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by the letter falling into the hands of others, the letter was not signed and signed.

Wei Ruo returned the letter to Wei Yichen after reading it: "Brother, please tell Mr. Xu that I have no dissatisfaction with him and the Xu family. I want to become an official, and I am used to being self-willed in the countryside since I was a child, so I can't be a good housekeeper, and I can't stand that kind of restraint."

"Okay, big brother knows, big brother will tell Mr. Xu what Ruo'er means."

Wei Yichen nodded, and stopped to stop Wei Ruo, and watched Wei Ruo walk towards Tingsongyuan.

Wei Yichen didn't look back until Wei Ruo disappeared.

After two worries were settled today, Wei Yichen felt a lot more relaxed.

While walking back, Wei Yichen met Wei Yilin, who was standing at the corner, looking at Wei Yichen with his small eyes.

"You have been looking at me and your big sister just now?" Wei Yichen asked.

"Yes." Wei Yilin nodded, "I don't want to see you two fighting again."

"No, the last time my elder brother was impulsive. At that time, my father was critically ill. I was impatient and couldn't control myself. That's why I hurt your elder sister by mistake. In the future, my elder brother will try to avoid such things and don't do it again."

Wei Yilin nodded heavily: "That's good."

Wei Yichen smiled, and couldn't help but patted Wei Yilin's head: "You are really more sensible now, and you know how to worry about things between big brothers and big sisters."

"I'm already very sensible. Of course I hope everyone is well. Although I didn't like Big Sister before, I thought it was because of her that Sister Wanwan was unhappy. But after getting along with her, I don't think she is so annoying. And it's a little pitiful. And she is from our family, as a man in the family, of course he should protect the women in the family. "

"Yes." Wei Yichen touched Wei Yilin's head, "Brother will spend less and less time at home in the future, and father will also stay in the barracks from time to time, and the family will rely on you in the future."

"Don't worry, brother, leave it to me!" Wei Yilin patted his chest and said.

The two brothers went back to their respective yards while talking.

After returning to Tingsongyuan, Xiumei asked Wei Ruo: "Miss, is what the young master said just now true? Will he really help Miss reject Xu's marriage? Madame is very optimistic about this marriage. The movement of the sky, I'm afraid it's..."

"Believe it or not, it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect my plan. I'm really in a hurry. I can do everything. The so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes. As long as I am not afraid of bad reputation, the initiative is in my hands. in the hand."

The prerequisite for the Yun family to be able to decide Wei Ruo's marriage is that Wei Ruo cares about his own reputation and wants to marry a good man in the future. As long as Wei Ruo is open-minded, the initiative is in Wei Ruo's own hands.

Of course Wei Ruo also knows that she still has to keep abreast of this matter and not overdo it.

If it really passed, and the Wei family directly let her hang Bai Ling to death for the sake of reputation, then she really had no reason to go.

Wei Ruo returned to the room and began to look at the account books. There are a lot of account books recently. Except for the nanny and steward Yu who can help her with some parts, Wei Ruo basically checks the other parts by himself.

Xiumei can't help much in this regard. Whenever Wei Ruo lights up the lamp to look at the account books, she can only cook some ginseng tea and supper for Wei Ruo, and accompany and serve him.

Wei Ruo's current shops, except for the grain shop, which has been closed and temporarily suspended, the other shops are still operating as usual. The business situation is definitely not as good as before, but they are all profitable.

Especially for liquor, the income has greatly exceeded Wei Ruo's expectations. Two jars of wine a day can be sold for 98 taels of silver (fifty taels for the lo-mei shop and 48 taels for Zuixianju).

In terms of Sibaozhai, the supply of paper is still in short supply. Those who can afford this paper in the prefecture are all noble children, and they are willing to spend a lot of money on studying. Even if the current situation outside is not good, it will not affect these nobles. Children's daily expenses.

The sales of brushes, inkstones and inkstones have declined, so last time Wei Ruo specifically asked Sibao Zhai to hold an event to attract a large number of literati and inkmen with the prizes of calligraphy and a one-year supply of paper from Tibetan laymen, in order to increase a wave of sales. A wave of inventory.

Afterwards, when purchasing goods, she will appropriately reduce the purchase of pens, inks and inkstones to avoid squeezing too much inventory.

Because the pens, inks and inkstones are all purchased from other places, once the inventory is squeezed, it will be very disadvantageous to her.

The sales of the lo-mei shop have not changed much. Originally, the sales during this period should have dropped a bit, but because of the popularity of thyme, the sales of lo-mei have been driven up. The daily turnover is not much worse than before. .

The supply of seasonings at Zuixianju has remained basically unchanged recently. The reason Wei Ruo estimates is that it is very similar to the situation at the lo-mei shop. It is probably because the introduction of thyme has increased the passenger flow, which has offset the passenger flow caused by the recent economic downturn. decline.

The mushroom planting industry in Xingshan County has expanded a lot in the first half of this year, especially after the cold wave, Wei Ruo has increased investment in mushroom cultivation. Recently, almost all the mushrooms near the west side of Xingshan County are suitable for growing mushrooms. All the caves were bought.
