Ask me what Im doing, Im fine, so he doesnt have to worry about me. Xiumei muttered, and then went out to do errands.
Although he didn't say it, Wei Ruo was keenly aware that Xiumei still missed Xu Zhengyong a little.
Wei Ruo sighed, then lowered his head and wrote in the reply to Xu Zhengyong that everything was well with Xiumei.
In the evening, Wei Ruo called Zhang Yi, Yu Zixiu and others together and held a banquet in the hall, and everyone ate happily together.
When talking about the future, everyone is excited and full of expectations.
They are confident that they will turn the Jiliao land into a prosperous land, and they are also confident that the people here will live a good life and Prince Rui's Mansion will be better.

May 15th.
After the great potato harvest, the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion was surrounded by people.
The people who came here were all from areas a little further away from Prince Ruis Mansion.
When Wei Ruo first promoted potato cultivation, he only designated an area close to Prince Rui's Mansion as an experimental area.
First of all, the area for one-time promotion is too broad and it is difficult.
Secondly, Wei Ruoye does not have that much food to distribute to people in such a vast land.
She has a lot of food in store, but the distribution from house to house is still unbearable.
Now the first batch of potatoes has ushered in a bumper harvest, and the news has spread, causing people in other areas to be unable to hold back. They also hope to plant this short-growing crop.
So they came to the door of Prince Rui's Mansion to petition, hoping that Prince Rui and his wife would allow them to grow potatoes.
Wei Ruo went out to meet everyone and agreed to their requests, telling everyone that as long as they followed the rules she set, they could receive potatoes from Prince Rui's Mansion.
Afterwards, Wei Ruo returned to the backyard and went to see Wei Jinyi.
Second brother, Wei Ruo called Wei Jinyi with a smile on his face, looking like he wanted something.
Although Wei Ruo has revealed his true feelings, Wei Ruo's title to Wei Jinyi has not changed.
"Yeah." Wei Jin also saw that Wei Ruo had something to ask her, so he waited quietly for her to tell him.
Second brother, there are many people outside who want to follow me in planting potatoes.
You are the best at this.
"Second brother, you should know why it is so difficult for the court to provide disaster relief? Just because the instructions from above are not effective, when the instructions from the top pass through the layers of officials and then to the bottom, many changes will occur. And why is it effective for me to do business to provide disaster relief to the people? ? Its because I either do everything myself or leave it to someone I trust, and there are few people in the middle.
"But this method is only suitable for small-scale operations. Once the scope increases and the number of people involved increases, things will become troublesome and will be beyond my control. This will involve more than just Its about business, its more about governing the country, and thats not what Im good at.
While speaking, Wei Ruo's eyes flickered at Wei Jinyi.
Wei Jin also smiled fondly and agreed without hesitation: "I will help Ruo'er manage this. Ruo'er can only concentrate on doing what you are good at."
This is what Ive been waiting for from my second brother. Wei Ruo was very satisfied with the answer and then came to Wei Jinyis side and kissed him on the cheek.
After the kiss, Wei Ruo was stunned, and Wei Jin was also stunned.
The two looked at each other.
Although more than half a month has passed since they expressed their feelings to each other, the two of them still maintain the same way of getting along as before, and each still lives in their own yard.
Wei Ruo touched his lips, his expression changed from initial surprise to secret joy.
Second brother, your face looks shiny and delicate, and it actually feels the same. Its really good.
Wei Jinyi's cheeks turned slightly red, and he turned around and said, "You kissed me. To be fair, should I get something back?"
What do you want to get back? Wei Ruo asked.
As soon as Wei Ruo finished speaking, Wei Jinyi's palm reached to the back of Wei Ruo's head.
Then a kiss fell on Wei Ruo's cheek. Wei Ruo was stunned for a moment, then blushed slightly and said, "I'm busy with other things first."
Then he quickly left Wei Jinyi's study.

May 18th.
At dawn, Wei Ruo was woken up by a knock on the door.
"Miss, Brother Ke has something urgent to ask you." Xiumei called Wei Ruo outside.
Wei Ruo quickly got up, put on his clothes and came outside the courtyard gate.
Ke Chongshan was waiting outside, looking anxious.
It turned out that Lin Fang's water broke.
Wei Ruo hurriedly followed Ke Chongshan to Lin Fang's residence.
After meeting Lin Fang, Wei Ruo gave her a diagnosis, and then arranged for people to boil water and prepare ginseng soup.
The contractions have just started now and its still early, so the baby wont come out for a while.
Hearing Wei Ruo say it was okay, Ke Chongshan's heart returned to his stomach.
But seeing the always strong Lin Fang sweating profusely in pain, Ke Chongshan couldn't calm down after all.
The three major and five rough **** waited outside the door, and asked from time to time, Lin Fang, who came out of the inside.
This situation continued until the next morning.
Wei Ruo judged that Lin Fang was about to give birth, and everyone in the room became busy.
The maids in the mansion kept going in and out of the room, and Xiumei also followed them.
As the sun rose, the baby's first cry echoed through the courtyard, and Prince Rui's Mansion welcomed its first new life.
He is a boy and very healthy.
Wei Ruo was very happy, and everyone in the palace was also happy.
Wei Ruo came out of the house after settling Lin Fang and the newborn.
Wei Jinyi stood at the door and came forward skillfully to wipe the stains on Wei Jinyi's body.
Second brother, dont come close, Im very dirty. Wei Ruo was now covered in blood.
"It's okay, thank you for your hard work." Wei Jin also wiped the material on Wei Ruo's face with a handkerchief, then took off his cloak and put it on Wei Ruo's body.
The charcoal stove was lit in the room for Lin Fang, which was relatively hot. It was cold in the morning, and it was easy to catch cold when it was hot and cold.
"It wasn't hard. I didn't do much in the first half of the journey. I slept next to it at night, but I was a little more nervous in the last half hour."
Then Wei Ruo said: "Second brother, I think our palace should have more children, so that it will be lively and vital."
Wei Jin was also startled and said softly: "If you want me, I will try my best to cooperate."
Wei Ruo was also stunned, staring at Wei Jinyi with wide eyes for a while before realizing what Wei Jinyi said.
Wei Ruo's face turned red.
"Second brother, you are wrong. I didn't mean that. What I meant was that we can adopt some orphans... There are many orphans in this world today..."
This matter had been thought about by Wei Ruo and Xie Ying when they were in the capital.
"Ahem..." Wei Jin also coughed twice, then turned his head to one side, looking slightly embarrassed, "It's fine if Ruo'er decides."
