Chapter 19 Taking out the door for the first time
"I'm afraid of being hungry, so bring something to eat." Wei Ruo replied.
Hearing this, Yun frowned slightly, and explained to Wei Ruo: "Ruoer, today we will have a vegetarian meal in the temple after we go to Fahua Temple to pray, so we won't be hungry."
"It's a snack, and it doesn't affect the main meal. In case any lady from another family is hungry, I can share some with them."
Hearing Wei Ruo's explanation, and seeing that Wei Ruo had prepared an exquisite and beautiful food box, even if it was taken out, it would not be embarrassing, so she didn't say anything else, and only told her to hand over the food box to her maid, Cui Cui, when she went up the mountain. holding the screen.
In order to control the number of people going out this time, except for the accompanying coachman and guards, only Yun brought Cuiping, and Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan did not bring maids.
Wei Qingwan also arrived at the door, and saw Wei Ruo who had been well-dressed at a glance. Surprise flashed in her eyes at that moment, but she quickly looked away.
Wei Ruo didn't pay attention to Wei Qingwan, all she could think about was farming to make money.
Absently followed Yun into the carriage, sitting in the carriage, Wei Ruo looked out through the window, his thoughts flew far away.
Yunshi looked at her absent-minded look, but didn't say anything.
Turning to Wei Qingwan, she said, "Wanwan, today I will go up the mountain on foot to offer incense and pray for blessings at Fahua Temple. Mother is worried that your health will not be able to bear it."
"Mother, don't worry, no matter whether I can finish the walk or not, I will try my best to walk. Every step is a step. I also want to pray for my father and all the soldiers. I hope they can win a big victory every time they fight against the Japanese pirates, and they will be safe and sound." I also hope that the Japanese pirates can be repelled as soon as possible, and peace can be restored to Xingshan County.
"Well, your father will be very happy to know that you have such a heart."
"Daddy and the soldiers defended the country, fought **** battles, shed blood and sweat, and all I can do is to go up the mountain to pray for blessings. What's the point of being a little tired? It's nothing compared to Daddy and the others."
Seeing Wei Qingwan's grateful and sensible appearance, Yun couldn't help showing a kind smile, with unusually gentle eyes.
My daughter is well-educated, gentle and pleasant, filial and sensible, and I really can't fault it at all.
Thinking of seeing the wives again soon, Yun's mood became particularly good, because whenever such an occasion, Wanwan must be the one who receives the most praise.
Everyone has vanity, and Yun's is no exception. It is undoubtedly a happy thing for a daughter he raised to be praised.
But things might be a little different today...
Yunshi looked at Wei Ruo who was lying on the window, with a somewhat worried expression. She doesn't ask Ruo'er to be as good as Wanwan and be praised by others, but only asks 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 it out, she still couldn't help worrying.
The horse-drawn carriage departed from Xiaowei's Mansion and headed towards the north of the city. The most part of the road ahead was the old road that Wei Ruo used to inspect the city last time.
After leaving the city, the carriage turned into a country road and headed towards Xianmu Mountain along the road.
At the foot of the mountain, the carriage stopped, Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan both got out of the carriage, and Wei Ruocai came down slowly.
When they arrived, the magistrate's wife, the county magistrate's wife, the head secretary's wife, and the ladies from other families had all arrived.
Everyone is waiting at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing the arrival of the Wei family, everyone turned their attention to it, because they heard that the Wei family had recently had a daughter.
Everyone was more or less curious about Wei Ruo who had just been taken back to the Wei family.
Wei Ruo felt many eyes on him as soon as he got out of the car.
Wei Ruo showed them openly, without shyness or dodging.
Because they know that this is unavoidable, and their curiosity must always be satisfied.
The wives and ladies who looked at Wei Ruo found that Wei Ruo was not what they expected. His slim figure and delicate and smooth skin were not even comparable to those daughters who had been raised in deep boudoirs for many years.
If the Wei family didn't tell them, they would never have thought that Wei Ruo had been living in the countryside before.
She and Wei Qingwan stood there, one was soft and the other was pretty, in terms of appearance alone, it really compared the other daughters who came today.
Some people are surprised and some are disappointed.
The idea of wanting to see the Wei family's jokes seems to be in vain.
Madam Zhixian brought her daughter Qian Caisang over to say hello to the Yun family: "Madam Wei, you are really enviable. The two daughters stand out from each other. Will there be a way for others to survive?"
Mrs. Yun hurriedly laughed and said, "Madam Qian, please don't bury me. How can my two daughters compare with Ling Ai? I have heard Wanwan say that even Mr. Fu praised Ling Ai's poems again and again. Mr. Fu is extremely Don't praise people for their good poetry, Miss Qian is the only one!"
Mr. Fu is the most famous female gentleman in Xingshan County, and now he is teaching several girls to read in the magistrate's mansion.
Madam Qian smiled all over her face: "She is just a little clever!"
She said that her daughter was just a little clever, but the smile on her face was genuine, it could be seen that Yun's words reached her heart.
Immediately afterwards, the wife of the county magistrate and the wife of the head secretary also came up to greet Yun.
Mr. Yun looked around, and saw that several familiar wives were there.
So he asked the magistrate's wife who hosted today's event: "Madam Qian, who are we waiting for?"
"It's the wife and daughter of the Xie family in the north of the city." Madam Qian replied.
The Xie family is a well-known farming and studying family in Taizhou Prefecture. The family has produced two Jinshi in the past 20 years.
Mrs. Xie's father-in-law is one of them. Now he is working in the middle of the capital, he is a fifth-rank official, and he heard that he has been appreciated by the emperor recently, so he is likely to be promoted to a fourth-rank imperial doctor.
As soon as they heard that they were waiting for Xie's family, everyone dropped their opinions.
After a while, the Xie family's carriage also arrived, and two people got off the carriage one after another, it was Mrs. Xie's family and Miss Xie Ying.
Different from the other girls who got off the car with the help of the maid, Xie Ying jumped off directly.
Such a bold move is unique among many ladies today.
"Be careful." Mrs. Xie was doting and 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 Mrs. Zhixian: "I kept you waiting for a long time, my family Ying'er was too messy, and she was blinded by a juggler on the way, so she refused to leave no matter what."
"It's okay, it's okay, the child is still young, it's normal to have some curiosity." Madam Qian said with a smile.
Mrs. Xie looked at Wei Ruo. The others were all familiar faces. They had met countless times, but Wei Ruo saw them for the first time today.
Madam Xie said with a smile: "Miss Wei was born so delicate and lovely, she is indeed Madam Wei's daughter, she has followed Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei."
