Chapter 132 Porridge
Wei Ruo continued: "Deputy General Xu is the friend I told you about before."
"Well, I guessed it." Wei Jin also replied.
I don't know if it's because he was tired because he didn't sleep last night. Wei Ruo felt that Wei Jinyi's expression was a little cold and even a little unhappy.
Now that the topic has come to Xu Zhengyong, Wei Ruo continued: "Actually, he is not only my friend, he is also my nanny's son. We grew up together. We say he is the nanny's son, but in my heart he is the son of my nanny." Always been my brother."
"I know that in those aristocratic families, the master is the master and the servant is the servant. There is a clear boundary. I am close to the nanny's son. Those people will not only think that we are brothers and sisters, but even a little dirty. conjecture."
"But in my heart, my nanny treated me better than my two nominal mothers, and Brother Xiaoyong was just like my own brother. Our relationship is very pure. Even if there is no blood relationship, I still feel that our relationship There is no difference between siblings."
Wei Ruo didn't tell Wei Jin Yiming before, because he felt that the relationship between the two was not that close, and he was worried that Wei Jin would keep a distance between himself and the other party after explaining to avoid criticism, so Wei Ruo only said that he was a friend of his .
Wei Jin also turned to look at Wei Ruo with deep eyes: "But you told me."
Wei Ruodao: "Because based on my judgment of the second brother during this period, I don't think the second brother would think of me that way, and would not ask me to keep a distance from my nanny's family like people outside, so I can understand my feelings."
"Yes." Wei Jin also gave an affirmative answer.
"Oh, by the way, second brother, you didn't sleep last night, you should go to sleep first, don't toss your body." Wei Ruo said.
"Yes." Wei Jin also agreed, then put down the pen in his hand, got up and went back to the room.
After he entered the room, Xiaobei said to Wei Ruo with a happy face: "Miss, our young master listens to what you say the most, I just tried to persuade you for a long time, but it was useless. If you say a word, young lady, the young master will go to rest. "
Wei Ruo didn't think there was any problem, and said to Xiaobei: "Take good care of your young master, if he feels unwell, please come and tell me."
"Miss, don't worry, I have a long memory this time, and if the young master feels uncomfortable, I will definitely find you!" Xiao Bei promised.
Then Wei Ruo went back to listen to Songyuan, she still had things to do.
Although the rain has stopped, the harm caused by the sudden change of weather is not over yet.
At this time, Xie Ying came to Xiaowei's mansion to look for Wei Ruo, and Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to bring Xie Ying directly to Tingsongyuan.
Xie Ying rushed to Wei Ruo as soon as she entered the door, caught Wei Ruo and looked up and down carefully, making sure that she had no missing arms or legs, and no bumps.
Then he asked Wei Ruo: "Ruoruo, I heard that you went to the south of the city to save people and then went to Xishan Village to save people?"
"How do you know?" Wei Ruo asked in surprise.
"Just kidding, who am I? I'm Xie Ying, how can I not know such a big thing?"
Wei Ruo looked at Xie Ying suspiciously.
Xie Ying smiled: "My brother told me, he rushed back from Fucheng last night to help, he went to the Yamen first, and learned about you from Qianzhi County, so he told me this morning as soon as he returned to Fucheng. "
While talking, Xie Ying was a little depressed and said: "Ruoruo, why don't you bring me with you? I want to help too!"
Seeing Xie Ying's displeasure, Wei Ruo hurriedly said, "I'm planning to bring you to do the next thing together."
"What's next? Haven't the people in the south of the city and the villagers in Xishan Village been rescued?" Xie Ying asked puzzled.
"There are a lot of things to do in the future. This sudden extreme weather caused many people to rot in the fields before they could harvest. Many people's houses were destroyed, and some people's food was also soaked. May starve and freeze."
"Then how can I help them?" Xie Ying.
"Let's go to the porridge, let the hungry people have a full meal first. Then find a way to get some cotton-padded quilts." Wei Ruo said.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go now!" Xie Ying grabbed Wei Ruo's hand and was about to take her out.
Seeing her young lady being dragged away, Xiumei quickly chased after her.
Yesterday, she stayed in the county government and didn't follow the young lady, causing her to worry for a day. Today, she can't let the young lady run around anymore.
In the afternoon, a porridge stand was set up at the gate of the west city to give porridge to people passing by.
Fresh sweet potatoes and porridge are boiled into a pot of sweet potato porridge, which is fragrant and sweet, attracting nearby villagers, who come to queue up for the porridge to drink.
Wei Ruo, Xie Ying, Xiumei, and several servant girls of the Xie family were busy at the porridge stall.
Cooking porridge, washing dishes, serving porridge, Wei Ruo and Xie Ying did it all by themselves.
The three of them worked until it was almost dinner time, and sent out ten pots of sweet potato porridge.
In the end, there was still a little left in the pot, and Xie Ying, who was already so hungry, filled it up and ate it by herself.
"Ruoruo, this sweet potato porridge is so sweet and delicious! I don't think any delicacies from mountains and seas can compare to it!" Xie Ying felt that such a simple food tasted so good for the first time.
Wei Ruo couldn't help but said, "You only find it delicious when you're hungry."
Xie Ying said: "It seems to be so. I seem to understand what my grandfather said. My grandfather said that he has eaten countless delicacies over the years, but the most delicious food is still when he returned home after farming when he was young. My grandmother made him steamed buns with pickles."
Wei Ruo smiled and said, "Your grandfather is right."
"Ruoruo, shall we continue tomorrow?" Xie Ying said.
"As long as you don't have opinions in your family, I'm fine."
"Of course there is no problem in my family. I know that I am here to deliver porridge. My mother and brother don't know how to support me. They also said that my grandfather in the capital will be very happy for me to do this." Xie Ying said confidently replied.
"Then we will come back tomorrow."
"good!"
###
In the evening, the news that Xie Ying and Wei Ruo were serving porridge at the gate of the west city reached Xiaowei's mansion.
Although Yun doesn't approve of Wei Ruo's behavior of running to the south of the city to save people, he agrees with the porridge.
When encountering a disaster, it has been a custom since the founding of the sage queens that women from rich and noble families give porridge, and it is a commendable act of virtue and kindness.
As for Wei Ruo going to the south of the city to save people, he was in a mess and shared a room with a group of villagers, because Wei Ruo changed his mind after saving Wei Mingting.
Perhaps the husband is right, he should not use the standard of a lady in the capital to ask for the eldest daughter.
The only thing Yun is dissatisfied with is that Wei Ruo and Xie Ying's porridge stand is supported by the Xie family. Although Wei Ruo contributed money and energy and took the lead in the porridge, those who didn't know thought it was the Xie family. Wei Ruo just went to help.
