Chapter 33 makes the distinction very clear.
"To put it bluntly, they are all excuses. You just do it according to your own preferences. Don't find so many high-sounding reasons. It sounds ridiculous." Wei Ruo commented.
Wei Yilin's face turned red after being scolded by Wei Ruo.
Wei Yichen pulled Wei Yilin: "Apologise to Ruo'er."
Wei Yilin said angrily with a stern face: "I don't! Brother, you are helping her now and don't protect sister Wanwan. If I don't protect sister Wanwan anymore, , Sister Wanwan can only be bullied! She is my sister, the sister who loves me the most! I don’t allow anyone to bully her!" After saying that,
Wei Yilin broke away from Wei Yichen and ran away quickly with red eyes. .
Wei Yichen frowned slightly and explained to Wei Ruo helplessly: "Not long after Yilin was born, my father went to work in Xingshan County and was busy with official duties. My mother also became extra busy because of the move. He neglected to take care of Yilin in his studies, which is why he developed such a character. Don't argue with him, I will teach him well in the future." "What
if I want to argue with him? Brother thinks I can take advantage of him. What should I do? If I really did something to him, brother, who will be punished in the end, he or I?" Wei Ruo asked, with sarcasm in his eyes.
Wei Yichen's expression was solemn: "Ruo'er, I know you were hurt by your mother locking you in the woodshed yesterday. It was also my fault that I didn't know about it earlier and made you suffer. I'm really sorry." "Brother will know now
. In this way, if something really happens and there is some more intense conflict, my eldest brother may not speak for me like he does now." "Ruo'er..." Wei Ruo interrupted
Wei
Yichen: " Let's not talk about it anymore. I have something to give to my elder brother. When I pass by Tingsongyuan, my elder brother will wait for me for a moment." "
Something?" Wei Yichen looked at Wei Ruo with some surprise.
"Yeah."
Wei Ruo didn't say much. When he arrived at the door of Tingsongyuan, Wei Ruo trotted into the house and came back with a roll of something in his hand.
"This is for you." Wei Ruo handed a roll of paper to Wei Yichen.
"Paper? From Sibao Zhai?" Wei Yichen took it in his hand and looked at it for a few times before recognizing that it was the paper from Sibao Zhai.
Looking at the paper, Wei Yichen's face couldn't help but reveal a look of joy.
Wei Ruo: "Well, I brought some with me when I came from Huzhou Prefecture."
Wei Yichen: "These papers are not cheap. How much is it? I'll give it to you." Wei Ruo
: "No need, just treat it as helping me out. Thank you."
Wei Yichen: "The words yesterday were what I should have said, and you don't need to thank me specifically."
Wei Ruo: "For me, that is something I need to thank you for. No matter what, brother, just Just keep it."
Some things are better settled clearly. She doesn't like to owe Wei Yichen a favor, even if it's just a little bit.
Wei Yichen looked at the paper in his hand and thought for a while, "Okay, then I'll accept it. I'll bring you something delicious next time."
Wei Yichen didn't want to be so clear with Wei Ruo, plus these He really likes paper. The ones his father gave him last time were quickly used up. He wanted to buy more, but it was only available in Huzhou Prefecture. It was too far and the cost was too high, so he had to give up.
If sister Ruo'er gives him such an expensive gift, he must return the gift well next time.
###
The next day, Wei Ruo went to Yingzhuyuan to visit Wei Jinyi again to see how his body was recovering.
In the Wei Mansion, Wei Jin was still pretending to be ill. I don't know what tricks he used to make the doctor invited by the Wei Mansion judge that he was in critical condition.
After Wei Ruo entered the room, Xiaobei stood guard at the door. If anyone else came in, he would make a sound to alert the people in the room.
Wei Jin also got up from the bed, and when he saw Wei Ruo, his expression was no longer as cold and repulsive as before.
"This is for you." Wei Ruo took out a white porcelain bottle and placed it on the cabinet beside Wei Jinyi's bed.
"Did you prepare the medicine?" Wei Jin also asked.
"Yes. You have some physical weakness, which should have been brought out in your mother's womb. Taking this medicine for a long time can help you maintain your health. If you had a better foundation, you wouldn't have deteriorated like this after contracting the cold." Wei Ruo didn't hide it either. Don't worry, he already knows about his medical skills.
Wei Ruo didn't notice that when she said "brought out of her mother's womb", Wei Jinyi's expression changed, and there was a bit of chill in her cold eyes, but it quickly dissipated.
After Wei Ruo finished speaking, Wei Jin also picked up the medicine bottle, looked at it carefully, opened the cap of the bottle, put it in front of his nose and smelled it carefully.
Wei Ruo flattened her mouth and said, "Please give it to me. Don't waste it. I spent a lot of time on this medicine, and many of the medicinal materials in it are not easy to find." If she dared to waste the pills she had worked so hard to make
, She killed him! snort!
Wei Jin also stared at Wei Ruo, taking in her small expressions and eyes.
After a while, he said: "Thank you."
This was the first time he said this word to Wei Ruo in such a long time.
"Yesterday you said you didn't need to say thank you. Why did you say thank you today instead?" "
Nothing." Wei Jin also looked away and put the medicine bottle under the pillow. Someone would come to his room soon. , Don’t let others see this medicine bottle.
Then I took another book from the bedside table and started reading.
It's good to be back to the way he was before, reading or writing with his head down. Anyway, those are his two major hobbies in life.
After Wei Ruo left, Wei Jin also called Xiaobei to him again and gave him an envelope.
"Send this letter to Shiji Bakery in the east of the city."
Hearing this, Xiaobei was shocked. That is not an ordinary bakery! On the surface, he was selling cakes, but in fact, it was a liaison station...
"Master, do you want to..."
"Yeah." Wei Jin didn't say much, as long as Xiaobei did as he asked.
"Okay, young master, you have a good rest, and I will go."
Xiaobei remembered that the young master had not contacted those people for a long time.
I don’t know why, but today I suddenly decided to get in touch with you again.
Maybe it was because of a serious illness.
Xiaobei went out with Wei Jinyi's letter.
Wei Jin is also a man. It is much easier for him and his attendants to enter and leave the house than for the female family members at home.
More than an hour later, Xiaobei came back successfully and brought back many things.
After Wei Jinyi looked at the things, he took out one of the wooden boxes and asked Xiaobei to take it to Wei Ruo in Tingsongyuan next door.
When he saw Xiaobei bringing something over, he said it was a thank-you gift from his young master.
Wei Ruo was naturally not polite to Wei Jin. He took it into his hand and opened it, and was surprised.
It turned out to be an old wild ginseng, which looked to be at least a hundred years old!
Wei Ruo quickly closed the wooden box and after making sure there was no one else around, Wei Ruo opened it again and took a closer look. After confirming that it was a century-old wild ginseng, Wei Ruo asked Xiao Bei who came to deliver something: "This is your
home Master asked you to give it to me?"
