Chapter 304 Private Meeting with a Mysterious Man
"Hmph, it's like this again, you just say a few words and your eyes are red, like tears don't cost money. There are no men here, and I don't know who you are showing your hypocrisy! It's so boring!"
Xu Yaojun felt bored, snorted coldly, got up, turned around and left without paying attention to Wei Qingwan.
Wei Qingwan lowered her head, squeezed her sleeves, and suppressed the grievance.
She told herself in her heart that she shouldn't waste her mind on such people and things, she has people and things she should cherish.
When it was time for get out of class to end, Wei Qingwan and her close servant Cui He walked out of the Tongzhi Mansion together, and got on the carriage. Cui He couldn't help comforting Wei Qingwan: "Miss, don't be sad, it's her good luck for the eldest girl."
"I don't have anything to be sad about. It's her ability to marry high. I was really uncomfortable when Xu Yaojun taunted me just now, but it's not because Wei Qingruo can marry high. It's because what Xu Yaojun said about the current situation in the Wei Mansion is indeed true. "Wei Qingwan explained.
The marriage proposal between Wei Ruo and Xu Fengyuan had much less influence on Wei Qingwan than Cui He and others imagined.
Cuihe found that her young lady's temperament has really changed a lot recently, and she is not so easy to be sad and pessimistic. She didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Halfway through the carriage, when passing by an embroidery shop, the old servant who drove the carriage skillfully turned the carriage into a side alley and stopped.
Wei Qingwan would pass by this embroidery shop on her way to and from get out of class these days, and every time she would ask the driver to stop and go in for a seat.
Wei Qingwan is learning Su embroidery from a top-notch embroiderer there these days. In order to embroider better wedding dresses for herself in the future, she will spend about a stick of incense in this shop every day.
The stays were not long each time, so the whole Wei family didn't know about it.
Cui He and the old servant who drove the car were the only ones who knew about it, but because the embroiderer's teaching skills were kept secret, Cui He couldn't go into the house, and only stayed outside with the old woman driving the car every time.
In the room, standing opposite Wei Qingwan was not Xiu Niang, but a young man.
The man's face is like a crown of jade, his figure is tall and straight, his hair is **** in brocade clothes, and he has an extraordinary bearing.
Seeing the man, Wei Qingwan couldn't help but blushed, like two peach blossoms blooming in early spring.
She lowered her head shyly. The man stepped forward and gently embraced Wei Qingwan into his arms...

When Wei Ruo returned to the mansion, he once again saw Mother Qin who had come to look for him.
Chu Lan really has perseverance. It's been a month, and he still hasn't given up.
When Mother Qin saw Wei Ruo, her attitude was still respectful: "Miss is back, Your Highness asked the old slave to give Miss some things."
Wei Ruo glanced at what Nanny Qin brought over. They were tea leaves and wine. Looking at the packaging, they should be the black tea that Yu Sheng Tea House is currently selling and the thyme that Zui Xianju sells.
The two maids behind Nanny Qin were also carrying a box of things, which were items that ordinary people were reluctant to use.
"Mrs. Qin, is it still because of that matter?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Yes. Miss, the situation of refugees in the city is getting worse and worse. If this continues, Taizhou Prefecture will not be peaceful." Mother Qin said.
At the beginning of May, when Chu Lan first sent Mother Qin to talk to Wei Ruo about this matter, the situation was not so critical. Now that a month has passed, the matter is even more serious, and the imperial court has sent people to carry out disaster relief.
However, after the past two years, the national treasury has also been empty, and the scope of the disaster has been extensive, and this disaster is not easy to relieve.
The emperor had a headache and got angry several times in court.
Everyone can see that whoever can help the emperor solve this big trouble will be rewarded and favored by the emperor.
With such a great achievement in front of everyone, Chu Lan has no reason to let it go.
So it is rare for him to be so patient with one thing, even though Wei Ruo refused so many times, he still tirelessly sent someone to invite Wei Ruo.
"I heard that the sixth prince was sent to provide disaster relief?" Wei Ruo suddenly asked Mother Qin a seemingly unrelated question.
Although Wei Ruo is just a commoner, at least she has the channel of Mrs. Yuan, and she can still hear some news from the court.
"It is indeed the case. Calculating the time, it should have already arrived in Taizhou Mansion. Or it may have arrived earlier. I am not very clear about the specific situation." Mother Qin replied.
Wei Ruo's question already showed that she knew part of the reason why Chu Lan wanted her help so anxiously.
Nowadays, the competition between the sixth prince and the seventh prince is fierce. The emperor sent one to fight against the Japanese army and the other to provide disaster relief, which is to test the two.
"Mommy, I'm just a girl, and I'm a soft-spoken person." Wei Ruo said to Nanny Qin.
The words were not clear, but Wei Ruo knew that Nanny Qin could understand what she meant.
The House of Uncle Zhongyi is like an ant in front of the two princes, let alone Wei Ruo? Wei Ruo didn't want to stand in line or get involved in this dispute.
Nanny Qin put away her smile: "Young lady's worries are justified, but my highness's patience is limited, my highness, so you don't give my highness face, is it because you don't take my highness seriously? Woolen cloth?"
At the end, Mother Qin's eyes suddenly became cold.
Courtesy first and soldiers later, Chu Lan has already "courtesy" many times, but Wei Ruo keeps refusing, so now he wants to "soldier".
Qin Nanny then reminded Wei Ruo: "Miss, Your Highness can make Wei Mansion prosperous or ruin Wei Mansion. Maybe Eldest Miss doesn't care so much about Wei Mansion's 'prosperity', but for Wei Mansion's 'damage', Daddy doesn't care." Girls should take it to heart."
The threat is very clear.
For the Seventh Prince, it is not difficult to get rid of a Wei Mansion that is already in its infancy.
Wei Ruo wasn't too surprised when she saw Mother Qin's cold face.
She naturally hoped to avoid Chu Lan's trouble in a more friendly way, but she also thought from the beginning that someone like Chu Lan might not accept her rejection.
So after she refused a few times before, Wei Ruo would always think about how she should deal with Chu Lan if she lost her patience and was too soft to be tough.
So when she saw Mother Qin turn his face, her reaction was still calm.
But in my heart, I still couldn't help but secretly scolded Chu Lan from head to toe, credit for not making arrangements for her to understand, and even threatening her when she was asked to work, what a wolf-hearted bastard!
"Mama misunderstood me, it's not that I don't want to help His Highness the Seventh." Wei Ruo changed his tone and said, his expression was as usual, calm and unhurried, "It's just that what the Seventh Highness wants to do is not easy to do, and we need to think about it in the long run. "
"What does the eldest girl say?" Mother Qin looked at Wei Ruo curiously.
