The second brother is really awesome

"Sister must be busy studying these days... I don't know the specific daughter. When I was in the mansion, my sister often went to Yingzhuyuan to talk to her second brother. I went to see her several times and she was not there.

It's not very clear..." Wei Qingwan replied.

Hearing this, Mrs. Yun couldn't help but frowned: "Ruo'er is thirteen, and Jin Yi is about to be sixteen, so it's time to avoid suspicion."

The daughter is not familiar with her legitimate children, but has a good relationship with the concubine of the family, which makes Yunshi somewhat uncomfortable.

"Mom, there is no need to worry about my sister. My sister is very measured in what she does now. And didn't the second brother get that letter of recommendation? I want to wait for a while and wait for a response from Huzhou Prefecture. The second brother is going to Huzhou Prefecture." Wei.

Qing Wan said.

Hearing this, Yun's expression darkened instead of being happy.

It was only later that she found out that Wei Jinyi's box was bought by Wei Ruo, and Wei Ruo also filled in the name.

Although there is nothing wrong with this matter, the Yun family does not want to see her daughter being so kind to her concubine brother, but being somewhat distant from her own brother.

Mrs. Yun looked at Wei Qingwan beside her, who was taking care of her worries, and couldn't help but sigh again.

Listening to Songyuan, Wei Ruo had heard all the related rumors and speculations.

Compared to the situation in the Wei Mansion, Wei Ruo was more worried about Xu Zhengyong's situation.

Generally speaking, new recruits must go through a period of training before going to the battlefield. But that was in normal times, and now the situation is urgent. He was drafted into the army urgently because there were not enough manpower, and he would not be given much time to train.

adapt.

I don’t know whether Brother Xiaoyong handed in the machine crossbow or whether it was approved.

If it can be recognized, it should be helpful to Brother Xiaoyong's status in the army, and it can also increase our military strength, making Brother Xiaoyong's situation relatively safer.

Xu Zhengyong in the original work did not follow him to Xingshan County, nor did he follow him to fight, so Wei Ruo could not predict Xu Zhengyong's ending.

Wei Ruo, who was a little bored, came to Yingzhu Garden to find Wei Jinyi. When he entered the door, he saw Wei Jinyi playing chess with him.

Wei Ruo sat down next to him.

She has no talent in playing chess, especially Go, which is a brain-consuming game. She can only understand it roughly, but she has no idea how to play it in detail.

"Do you want to try it?" Wei Jin also stopped and asked.

"No, no, it's too much trouble. I'm not suitable for this." Wei Ruo waved her hand and refused.

"Farming is also a brain-consuming thing. Different crops have different planting and maintenance methods, and you can remember them clearly."

"Skills have specializations, and different professions require different brains. Anyway, I can't play chess."

Wei Ruo supported his chin with one hand and looked at the chessboard in front of him thoughtfully.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is not looking at the chess game, but is thinking about something else.

"Are you worried?" Wei Jin also noticed very keenly that Wei Ruo looked a little bad today.

"Second brother, have you heard that there is going to be a war?" Wei Ruo asked.

"I heard about it, sooner or later." Wei Jin also looked calm.

"Second brother, do you think we can win this battle?" Wei Ruo asked.

"80% chance of winning." Wei Jin also replied.

"Why 80%?"

"Father, 30%, the noble man in Xingshan County today is 10%, the additional troops sent by the imperial court are 20%, and the good news coming out of the army today is 20%." Wei Jin also replied.

"Why does the second brother think that the noble man who has been in Xingshan County recently can still account for 10%?" Wei Ruo asked curiously.

Chu Lan's biggest role in this war should be that he asked the court to send more troops to Xingshan County, but why did he alone account for 10%?

"He is not just a kid from a rich family. He is intelligent, understands the art of war, and is good at employing people." Wei Jin also replied.

Wei Ruo looked at Wei Jinyi even more curiously.

She knew what Wei Jin also said, because this is how Chu Lan was portrayed in the original work.

But why did the second brother, who rarely went out in the mansion, make such an accurate assessment?

Wei Jin also noticed that Wei Ruo was looking at her and explained slowly: "I like reading and listening to rumors. Even though I live in a deep house, I still know enough about things outside."

"Second brother, you are indeed very powerful. If you take the imperial examination, the probability of success is still very high." Wei Ruo became more and more confident in Wei Jin.

Wei Ruo held his chin with his hands, an expression of admiration on his face, and little stars seemed to pop out of his eyes.

Wei Jinyi smiled, and then he couldn't help but reach out his right hand to Wei Ruo's head. Just when he was about to touch his head, Wei Jinyi suddenly stopped.

"Second brother, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing." Wei Jin also quickly took his hand back, and then found a lame excuse, "There are dead leaves on your head."

"But even if we can win this battle, there is no guarantee that my friend will survive." Wei Ruo's worry has not diminished.

Just because the war will be won does not mean that everyone on the winning side will come back alive.

"Is it the friend you mentioned last time?" Wei Ruo also mentioned a friend last time.

"Well, that's the one. He joined the army. The last time I rushed to make the golden sore medicine, I gave it to him." Wei Ruo replied.

If you join the army, you become a man.

And what makes Wei Ruo so worried must be an unusual relationship.

"Did your friend come to Xingshan County for you?" Wei Jin also asked.

Wei Ruo arrived in Xingshan County just a few months ago and has rarely had contact with outsiders since then.

Therefore, it is very possible that Wei Ruo knew this friend when he was in Huzhou Prefecture.

"That's right." Wei Ruo replied.

The wet nurse and Uncle Xu are here, and Brother Xiao Yong must come with them.

Wei Jin also lowered his head and rearranged his chess game.

For two consecutive days, people living in the east of the city could hear loud noises coming from the east, and sometimes they could see the light of fire reaching the sky.

This makes the dark clouds hanging over Xingshan County even thicker.

Both Qian Mansion and Xie Mansion have suspended classes these days. Wei Qingwan and Wei Ruo both stayed at home and did not go out again.

In Tingsong Garden, Wei Ruo was looking at the account books. The "blind box" made Sibaozhai a full one hundred and twenty-two taels of silver.

Xiumei trotted into the room: "Miss, Grandma Li... Grandma Li has been taken back to the house!"

"Isn't it less than three months?" Wei Ruo asked.

"I heard that it was the second lady who begged for favor, so I asked Grandma Li to come back to the house to be punished, and she was fined an additional three months' monthly payment."

Wei Ruo snorted softly: "There is really a way."

"Miss, Grandma Li is at the door of our courtyard now, saying she wants to kowtow to you to apologize." Xiumei frowned, with a bored expression on her face.

Just come back, why bother looking for me?

"Let's go and have a meeting. It just so happens that I've been very depressed these past two days! I'm worried that Brother Xiaoyong's depression has nowhere to go!" Wei Ruodao.
