Chapter 377 Cheap filial piety

"It turns out that mother has already figured out a solution." Wei Ruo said with a smile, "It's just that mother has forgotten that the government has already formulated rules, and the allocation of new land from wasteland is based on the money paid by each family. , food, and people have been converted, and how much the Wei family can share has already been determined."

"Aren't you from the Wei family? Isn't your contribution from the Wei family? As long as you want to, who would dare to gossip?" Yun asked a series of questions.

"But I don't want to. I just want to earn a good reputation for myself, and I don't want to exchange it for land." Wei Ruo replied, his eyes were bright and transparent, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised an arc.

"What did you say?"

Wei Ruo explained unhurriedly: "Does mother think there is a problem? Isn't it good to be a lady praised by everyone, and to do things that are beneficial to the reputation of the school captain's mansion? Money can be obtained at any time, land Other ways can also be exchanged, but this good reputation is not so easy to come by."

Wei Ruo continued: "Mother thinks, I am not only earning my reputation for myself, but also for our Wei family. My sister has ruined the public morals, ruined the reputation of our Wei family girl, and made the Wei family suffer from gossip. As the eldest daughter, its good to do something good now and gain a good reputation, isnt it?

"Furthermore, my father was an official in the court, shed blood on the battlefield for the people, and became a great hero praised by everyone. As his daughter, I cannot hold him back. I should also establish a good image of giving for the people without asking for anything in return. .

Yun's words were choked back by Wei Ruo's righteous speech.

Every word she said was well-founded, and not only did it not sound wrong, but it was quite righteous.

Wei Ruo looked at Yun's appearance of wanting to reprimand him but couldn't find anything to say, and smiled slightly: "Does the mother think what the daughter said makes sense?"

Yun's face was sullen: "I let you talk, what do you want me to say? Anyway, you have never considered the family affairs at all! You said that I am partial to Wanwan, but you don't even think about why, I Whenever there is something that bothers you, Wanwan is filial and sensible, but you never think about my family."

"Oh? My sister knows the cold and the hot? Then did she help you solve the problem? Why did my mother find me and come to find her?"

"She is not as capable as you." Yun retorted.

"So you just talk about it and think it's filial piety when you touch your mother? It doesn't cost money or effort to get a good reputation for filial piety. This is a very good deal!" Wei Ruo chuckled.

"How did you talk?" Yun frowned.

"Does mother think there is something wrong with what I said? Why don't mother try to let my sister use all her private money to fill the family?" Wei Ruo asked.

"She doesn't have much private money." Yun replied.

"She still has a few sets of clothes, which can be exchanged for a lot of money if they are sold." Wei Ruo suggested.

"She only has a few sets in total, and she still has to go out to meet people."

"If she is really willing to help her mother as she said, she will sell the jewelry and give the money to her mother without her asking. In the end, it's just a low cost and no money."

After saying this, Wei Ruo got up and said to Yun before leaving:

"My mother's problem is that my daughter can't help me for the time being. If I think of a good way, I'll come to my mother again. I still have some things to do today, so I won't bother my mother any longer."

Then Wei Ruo left Cangyun Garden quickly without giving Yun Shi any time to react.

Yun took several deep breaths to prevent himself from bursting out.

After a while, Yun turned her head and said to Cuiping, who was waiting beside her: "Look at her rebellious appearance, how can I talk to her properly! It's good not to quarrel."

Cuiping comforted softly: "Madam calm down."

Its not easy for Cuiping to say much, she thinks that what the eldest lady said just now is somewhat reasonable, but its hard for her to say this as the wifes personal maid.

###

On the third day of September, the third day after the autumn exam, Wei Yichen returned to Xiaowei's Mansion.

When he returned to the mansion, he went to see Yun Shi immediately, and Yun Shi asked him about the exam with a happy face.

"It's okay." Wei Yichen didn't have much expression on his face, neither much joy nor sadness.

"Chen'er, don't hide it from your mother, did you not perform well this time?" Yun asked worriedly.

"No."

"Chen'er, don't be sad if you don't perform well this time, we can wait another three years." Yun continued.

Compared to his son not performing well this time, Yun was more worried about Wei Yichen.

After all, such a big incident happened before the exam this time, the mood of the son was affected, and it is reasonable for him not to perform well.

"Really not. Don't worry, mother, I performed very normally in this exam. Although I am not sure whether I can win the exam, I have no regrets." Wei Yichen replied.

"Really?" Looking at her son's expression, Yun felt somewhat disbelieving.

"it is true."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Yun's heart fell back.

Wei Yichen looked at Yun and asked, "I heard that on the Mid-Autumn Festival, my mother took her second sister, who was supposed to be punished, to Mrs. Yuan's banquet?"

"Did Ruo'er tell you? Why did she tell you these things just after you returned home?" Yun asked.

"It's not what Ruo'er said. I haven't seen her since the provincial capital, and she never sent me any news." Wei Yichen explained, "Mother doesn't need to relate this matter to my eldest sister. Now I'm asking About your second sister."

Facing Wei Yichen's sharp gaze, Yun's face showed guilt: "Chen'er, the rumors outside are not good for our Wei family. I let your second sister go to the banquet to dispel the suspicion of her from the outside world, otherwise everyone will see her. If you don't go, you will really think that she has done something outrageous."

"Didn't she just do something outrageous?"

"That's true, but she is my daughter or your sister. It's always good to help cover up some things, not to mention there is Ruo'er? You can't even ruin Ruo'er's reputation, right? "

"If Er is capable of earning a good reputation for herself, there is no need to worry. What's more, with my father and I here, we should work hard to be strong and honor our ancestors. As long as the family is prominent, Ruoer will not worry about not having a good husband in the future."

Mr. Yun was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer the conversation.

Just as the atmosphere between the mother and son was getting colder, a flustered servant rushed in from outside the door.

"Madam, Eldest Young Master, something is wrong! Something happened to Second Young Master!"
