Blessed Daughter

Because today is the first day of junior high school, the academy gave the students a day off. And Wei Mingting is still resting at home because of his injuries.

Now the Yun family has started the rule of having different seats for men and women, and at dinner time they are divided into two tables with a screen in between.

After dinner, when everyone sat down to drink tea and chat, the female relatives could talk to the men in the family.

Wei Qingwan first asked about Wei Yichen's situation in the academy these days, and was concerned. Then he told Wei Mingting about the fact that he received an invitation from the Xu family to watch the dragon boat today.

"Father, Miss Yaojun invited me to watch the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival."

"Well, it's a good thing, Wanwan should be more careful." Wei Mingting nodded.

"I'm going that day too, and I'll send Wanwan over there then." Wei Yichen said.

"Is the elder brother going too?" Wei Qingwan had a happy expression on her face.

"Well, I have already made an appointment with Feng Yuan and the others, and Anzhou College will select some students to form a team to participate in the dragon boat race every year." Wei Yichen explained.

"Will the big brother not participate?" Wei Yilin asked quickly after hearing the words.

Wei Yichen smiled and said, "I'm not good at doing this."

Wei Yichen is good at writing but not good at martial arts, and dragon boat rowing is a very physical activity, so Wei Yichen naturally did not participate.

Speaking of that, Wei Yichen said again: "Brother Feng Yuan participated, he is both civil and military, you can see his performance that day."

Wei Yilin said sullenly: "We also formed a team in the martial arts school. I wanted to join, but the master said that I was too young, and it would be my turn in a few years. Now only the older brothers are allowed to participate. .”

Speaking of it, Wei Yilin asked Wei Mingting: "Father, can I watch it that day?"

It's a bit disappointing not to be able to participate, but it's good to see it in person.

"Yes, you can travel with me on the Dragon Boat Festival." Wei Mingting said.

"Okay!" Wei Yilin's small face immediately showed an excited expression.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Yilin's eyes fell on Wei Ruo: "Where is Big Sister? Will Big Sister go too?"

Wei Ruo deliberately didn't interrupt, sipping tea quietly, but didn't want to be called by Wei Yilin.

Yun said: "Your elder sister can't go out with you and your father, she can only go with mother."

Wei Ruodu is fourteen years old, so he can't be taken out by his father alone, it's against the rules.

"Is that so... Will the elder sister go with mother?" Wei Yilin asked again.

"No, I sent a post with the magistrate today, and Miss Xu's family also invited your eldest sister to go with me." Yun replied.

The post was sent directly to Xiaowei's mansion by someone sent by the Xu family, so it couldn't be hidden from Yun's family.

Hearing this, Wei Qingwan's expression froze slightly, then she looked at Wei Ruo, said with a slight smile, "It turns out that my sister is also going, that's really great."

Wei Ruo replied unhurriedly: "Actually, I planned to reject the invitation. I am not familiar with Miss Xu's family, and I don't really like to join in the fun."

Hearing this, Yun hurriedly said: "You must not push it away. Mrs. Xu mentioned this to me a few days ago, and my mother has already agreed to it for you."

Immediately afterwards, Yun said: "Ruo'er, walking around with other girls from other families in the city will do you more good than harm."

Wei Ruo's face was a little dark, and Mrs. Yun helped her agree in front of Mrs. Tongzhi without asking her opinion.

Seeing that Wei Ruo's expression was wrong, Yun felt a little embarrassed and guilty.

Others have also noticed this, Wei Qingwan hurriedly said: "Sister, Madam Tongzhi likes you very much, so she wants you to watch the dragon boat race together, so go together, don't let Tongzhi down." Madam's kindness."

Wei Ruo glanced at Wei Qingwan, but then ignored her.

Because Wei Ruo knew that Wei Qingwan's opening at this moment was mostly to show that she was a caring and good daughter, and if she argued with Wei Qingwan more at this moment, it might give Wei Qingwan a chance to be innocent and wronged.

Plus, she had just slapped her a few days ago, and if she started arguing now, the rest of the Wei family would suspect that she was targeting her, and instead, she would suffer.

Seeing that Wei Ruo didn't refute, Wei Qingwan pursed her lips, feeling a little disappointed.

In her heart, she didn't want Wei Qingruo to watch the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival. The last outing together was still vivid in her memory...

If Wei Qingruo started arguing with her right now, maybe...

Wei Ruo didn't speak for a long time, and Yun couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Ruo'er, you haven't been back home for a long time, and there are some people who don't know the ways of the world. You just believe that it's for your own good."

"I see." Although Wei Ruo was dissatisfied with Yun's behavior, he still had a sense of proportion.

Yun's is a mother, and she can make decisions for her daughter in some matters.

Wei Ruo was relieved, not only Yun Shi, but also Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin. The two brothers were worried that Wei Ruo's temper would come to conflict with his mother again, which was the last thing they wanted to see.

###

Fifth day of May.

Early in the morning, Xiumei got up to help Wei Ruo dress up, because they were going out to watch the dragon boat race soon.

"Give me the most common bun, and choose some old clothes that I have worn. The styles are older and more plain." Wei Ruo instructed Xiumei.

"Why? Miss, you still have quite a few new clothes in your closet. Recently, I also learned a lot of hair buns that are popular among young girls in the city." Xiumei said.

"Your lady, I don't need to look good today. I won't compete with them. It doesn't do me any good to be attractive. If I can get rewards for being attractive, I can consider dressing up." Wei Ruo replied road.

How about being prettier than other ladies from other families in the same company? So what if people say it looks good? As for her, she has no income of half a penny or silver.

"Miss is right, so I'll make the makeup look more ordinary and make the makeup rougher!" Xiumei said.

"Well, my good Meimei understands me!"

After dressing up, Wei Ruo looked the same as usual, or even worse than usual.

At the door, two carriages had been waiting for a long time.

Wei Qingwan, who came out at about the same time, was slightly taken aback when she saw Wei Ruo's outfit, and then lowered her head.

Wei Ruo's eyes also swept over Wei Qingwan. Wei Qingwan was wearing a new dress made at the end of last year, a goose-yellow skirt with flowers embroidered on it, which made her skin extraordinarily delicate, and her figure was exquisite and bright; The bun is the most popular nowadays, and it complements her delicate face, making her look like a lotus emerging from water.

In such a comparison, Wei Ruo's attire is not only mediocre, but even crude.

Seeing the outfits of the two, Yun frowned slightly, his eyes lingered on Wei Ruo for a while, hesitant to speak.
