Chapter 197 Little New Year's Eve
"Your nose is really smart." Wei Ruodao.
Wei Yilin looked at the food box in Wei Ruo's hand and swallowed involuntarily.
He was hungry after practicing all day, and the smell of meat was too tempting for him.
They only bought the braised meat from this store once during the Laba Festival, and they haven’t bought it since.
My mother said that the braised food shop sells more expensive food than other stores, and since they have their own cook, it would be more economical to buy the ingredients and cook them by themselves. There is no need to buy them outside when there is no need.
But the cooking skills of the cook at home are really mediocre, and the braised food she makes is incomparable to what is sold in that shop.
"You are really rich!" Wei Yilin muttered.
Wei Yilin knew that the richest person in their family now was Wei Ruo. Her treasury alone was larger than that of their entire family combined.
"Well, I have money." Wei Ruo replied confidently.
That proud look seems to be saying, sister is rich, are you envious of her? Sorry, there is no use in being envious! If you have the ability, you can make money on your own!
"You..." Wei Yilin suddenly felt bored. He wanted Wei Qingruo to give him some food, but Wei Qingruo seemed to be deliberately unable to see his desire.
Wei Yilin was still sulking, but Wei Ruo had already walked away with the basket.
It was too late for Wei Yilin to say anything.
"It's so annoying! Why do I have such a big sister? If she treats me a little better, wouldn't I call her big sister?" Wei Yilin muttered.
After Wei Ruo disappeared and made sure that she had no intention of caring about his younger brother, Wei Yilin said dullly: "I've obviously already taken the initiative to show my kindness, so why don't you just be nice to me?" Then I'll obediently call you sister, but you don't, it's so annoying!"
Wei Yilin became angrier as he muttered, and finally walked back to Aoju Garden in a huff of anger.
During dinner, Wei Ruo met Wei Yichen, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Wei Yichen greeted Wei Ruo with a gentle smile: "Sister Ruo'er, long time no see." "
Yes." Wei Ruo responded, her reaction a little colder than Wei Qingwan's.
Because the meal was about to begin, Wei Yichen didn't say much.
Wei Ruo took a look at the people in the room, and found that there was only one more Wei Yichen than usual, and neither Wei Mingting nor Wei Jinyi came.
Wei Ruo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She thought her second brother would come back today.
"Ruo'er is here, everyone is here, take a seat." Seeing Wei Ruo come in, Yun took the initiative to talk to her.
This was the first time that Yun took the initiative to talk to him in the past few days, and he sounded in a good mood.
Wei Ruo was a little suspicious, what happened?
Wei Ruo subconsciously looked at Wei Yichen, and Wei Yichen smiled at Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo withdrew his gaze, most likely Wei Yichen said something to Yun.
After sitting down, Wei Yilin glanced at the food on the table, looking a little disappointed.
The meal on New Year's Eve was more sumptuous than before, but it didn't have the Xu Ji braised food he was looking forward to.
"What's wrong with Yilin? Is today's dish not to your liking?" Yun asked.
"No." Wei Yilin denied, then glanced at Wei Ruo, his eyes full of resentment.
Wei Ruo pretended not to see it and ate his own food. It looked like she was eating seriously, but Wei Ruo was actually only three-thirds full. She planned to spend the night with Xiumei in the yard to spend their New Year's Eve. The braised meat she brought back was also used for this purpose, and she also prepared something else. A jar of wine.
After dinner, Yun left a few people to drink tea and chat, thinking that they would talk more today than before.
Yunshi first told everyone the content of the reply letter from the Zhongyi Palace in the capital.
"Your grandfather said in his reply that he was very happy and looked forward to seeing everyone reunited in the capital soon."
Everyone answered yes.
Except for Wei Ruo, everyone else naturally hopes to go to the capital as soon as possible. Who as a capital official would want to stay in this remote place, so close to the Japanese pirates, and would face danger at any time.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Yun said to Wei Yichen: "Yichen, your grandfather specially praised you and said that you are the most promising among the brothers. He is proud of you." There are currently eight boys in this generation of the Wei family
. And Wei Yichen is the most promising among these eight children.
"Grandpa was so complimentary. I'm far from being able to make him proud," Wei Yichen replied.
Then Yun Shi looked at Wei Ruo again: "Your grandfather also mentioned you in the letter. He asked you to study hard and study hard. He also specifically told me not to worry about your marriage." Yun Shi's meaning in the
capital You probably know that she wants to arrange a better marriage for Wei Ruo after her husband is promoted and moves to the capital.
"Yeah." Wei Ruo responded with a dull response.
On the contrary, Wei Qingwan's face turned a little ugly.
She looked at Yunshi, waiting for Yunshi to mention her.
However, Yun didn't mention her. It wasn't that Yun didn't want to mention her, but the letter from the capital didn't mention her at all.
The two elders of Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion paid great attention to blood, and did not feel the need to care about Wei Qingwan who was not related by blood to his family and had not gotten along well with her.
"Mom, did grandpa mention me in his letter?" Wei Yilin couldn't wait any longer and asked impatiently.
Yunshi said: "Your grandfather mentioned you. When he sent a New Year's gift to the capital last time, your father specifically told you in the letter about your progress over time. Your grandfather was very happy about this and asked you to continue working hard in his reply. , inherit your father's mantle."
"That is necessary!" Wei Yilin replied confidently.
After answering the question, Wei Yilin suddenly remembered something and asked: "Mom, where is sister Wanwan? Did grandpa say anything?" Yun's expression froze at this question
.
Seeing Yun's reaction, everyone understood.
Wei Qingwan lowered her head sadly, and Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin looked at her and comforted her.
"Sister Wanwan, don't be sad. Grandpa must have had too many things and has forgotten about it!" Wei Yilin said.
"Grandpa usually only mentions it when he has something to explain. He didn't mention Sister Wanwan. It was probably because Sister Wanwan was outstanding as always and reassured him that he didn't mention it." Wei Yichen said.
"I'm fine, brother, Yilin, don't worry." Wei Qingwan raised her head and showed a difficult smile.
This was obviously a forced smile, a forced smile to reassure them.
Seeing her like this, Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin felt even more distressed.
"Wanwan..." Mrs. Yun also felt distressed, but she couldn't control the attitude of the capital.
Wei Ruo sat aside and sipped tea leisurely, admiring the changing expressions of the people in the room, looking like an outsider.
