Chapter 19 Taken out for the first time
"If you're afraid of being hungry, bring some food." Wei Ruo replied.
Hearing this, Mrs. Yun frowned slightly and explained to Wei Ruo: "Ruo'er, today we go to Fahua Temple to pray and have a vegetarian meal in the temple, so we won't be hungry."
"It's a snack, it doesn't affect the main meal. If any ladies from other families are hungry, I can share some with them."
After listening to Wei Ruo's explanation and seeing that Wei Ruo had prepared an exquisite and beautiful food box, it would not be embarrassing to take it out, he said nothing more and only told her to give the food box to her maid Cui when they went up the mountain.
Hold the screen.
In order to control the number of people going out this time, in addition to the accompanying coachman and guards, only Yun brought Cuiping, while Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan did not bring maids.
Wei Qingwan also arrived at the door and saw the carefully dressed Wei Ruo. At that moment, surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly looked away.
Wei Ruo didn't pay attention to Wei Qingwan, all she could think about was farming and making money.
Absently, Wei Ruo followed Yun into the carriage and sat on the carriage. Wei Ruo looked outside through the window, her thoughts flying far away.
Yun looked at her distractedly and didn't say anything.
She turned to Wei Qingwan and said, "Wanwan, today I have to hike up the mountain to burn incense and pray for blessings at Fahua Temple. Mom is worried that your body won't be able to bear it."
"Mom, don't worry. No matter whether I can finish the walk or not, I will try my best to walk, one step at a time. I also want to pray for my father and all the soldiers. I hope they will win a great victory and be safe every time they fight against the Japanese pirates."
.I also hope that the Japanese pirates can be defeated as soon as possible and peace can be restored to Xingshan County."
"Well, your father will be very happy to know that you have this intention."
"Dad and the soldiers fought bloody battles and shed blood and sweat to protect our family and the country, but all I can do is small things like going up the mountain to pray for blessings. What does it mean to be a little tired? It's nothing compared to dad and the others."
Seeing Wei Qingwan's grateful and sensible look, Yun couldn't help but reveal a kind smile, her eyes were unusually gentle.
My daughter is well-educated, gentle, filial and sensible. She really can't fault her at all.
Thinking of meeting the wives of each family again soon, Yun's mood became particularly good, because Wanwan must be the one who receives the most praises on such occasions.
Everyone has vanity, and Yun is no exception. It is undoubtedly a happy thing for the daughter she raised to be praised by others.
But today the situation may be a little different...
Yun looked at Wei Ruo who was lying at the window with a somewhat worried expression. She didn't expect Ruo'er to be as good as Wanwan and be praised by others, but she only asked her not to be criticized.
Although when Wei Ruo asked her yesterday, she firmly said that she believed her, but when it came time to take him out, she couldn't help but become worried.
The carriage departed from the Captain's Mansion and headed towards the north of the city. Most of the way ahead was the same old road that Wei Ruo took last time he went out to inspect the city.
After leaving the city, the carriage turned onto a country road and headed towards Xianmu Mountain along the road.
At the foot of the mountain, the carriage stopped. Yun and Wei Qingwan both got out of the carriage, and Wei Ruocai came down slowly.
When they arrived, the county magistrate's wife, the county magistrate's wife, the registrar's wife and the ladies from other families were already there.
Everyone is waiting at the foot of the mountain now.
Seeing the people from the Wei family arriving, everyone looked over because they heard that the Wei family had a daughter recently.
Everyone was more or less curious about Wei Ruo, who had just been taken back to the Wei family.
As soon as Wei Ruo got out of the car, she felt many eyes falling on her.
Wei Ruo let them see it openly, without shyness or dodge.
Because they know this is inevitable, their curiosity must be satisfied.
And the ladies and ladies who looked at Wei Ruo found that Wei Ruo was different from what they expected. His slim figure and delicate and smooth skin were actually incomparable to those of them, rich ladies who had been raised in a boudoir for many years.
If the Wei family didn't tell them, they would never have guessed that Wei Ruo had been living in the countryside.
She and Wei Qingwan stood there, one was soft and the other delicate. Just talking about their appearance, they really compared with other rich ladies who came today.
Some were surprised and some were disappointed.
The idea of seeing Wei family jokes seemed to be in vain.
The county magistrate's wife brought her daughter Qian Caisang over to greet Yun: "Mrs. Wei, you are so enviable. Your two daughters are so good at each other, are you leaving a way for others to survive?"
Mrs. Yun hurriedly smiled and said: "Mrs. Qian, please don't underestimate me. How can my two daughters compare with Ling Ai? I heard Wan Wan say that even Mr. Fu praised Ling Ai's poems. Mr. Fu was very happy.
Don't praise people for their good poetry, Miss Qian is the only one who deserves it!"
Mr. Fu is the most famous female gentleman in Xingshan County. She now teaches several young ladies in the magistrate's house.
Mrs. Qian's face was full of smiles: "She is just a little smart!"
She said that her daughter was just a little clever, but the smile on her face was genuine, which showed that Yun's words had touched her heart.
Immediately afterwards, the county magistrate's wife and the registrar's wife also came up to say hello to Yun.
Mrs. Yun looked around and saw several familiar ladies there.
So he asked the county magistrate's wife who was hosting today's event: "Mrs. Qian, who are we waiting for?"
"It's the wife and daughter of the Xie family in the north of the city." Mrs. Qian replied.
The Xie family is a well-known farming and studying family in Taizhou Prefecture. The family has produced two Jinshi scholars in the past twenty years.
Mrs. Xie's father-in-law is one of them. Now he is serving in Beijing, with an official rank of fifth rank, and it is said that he has been highly appreciated by the emperor recently, and it is very likely that he will be promoted to a fourth rank of court official.
Once they heard that they were waiting for someone from the Xie family, everyone had no objection.
After a while, the Xie family's carriage also arrived, and two people got out of the carriage one after another, namely Mrs. Xie's wife and Miss Xie Ying.
Unlike other ladies who got out of the car with the help of the maid, Xie Ying jumped down directly.
Such a bold move is unique among many young ladies today.
"Be careful." Mrs. Xie was doting but helpless. Her daughter was really spoiled by her father-in-law and husband.
Xie Ying has already run up.
Mrs. Xie came forward and greeted Mrs. Yun and the magistrate's wife: "I have kept you waiting for a long time. My Yinger was a little too mischievous. She was confused by the magician on the way and refused to leave even after saying anything."
"It doesn't matter, the child is still young, and it's normal to have some curiosity." Mrs. Qian said with a smile.
Mrs. Xie looked at Wei Ruo. The other faces were all familiar faces. She had seen them countless times, but Wei Ruo was the only one she met for the first time today.
Mrs. Xie said with a smile: "The eldest lady of the Wei family is so pretty and lovely. She deserves to be Mrs. Wei's daughter, and she will follow Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei."
