A Blessed Daughter

Chapter 454: Wei Yichen High School Huiyuan

Chapter 454 Wei Yichen high school reunion

She thought that her adopted daughter who was one-hearted with her now made her feel strange and difficult to understand, while her biological daughter, who had always been at odds with her, was indifferent to her. As if she was a failed mother.

Yunshi wanted to tell Wei Ruo something about her preparations for marriage, but the words were on the verge of her mouth, and because of Wei Ruoqing's cold and indifferent face, she couldn't say it.

Wei Yilin ran to Wei Ruo's side and continued the unfinished topic in the morning.

"Big sister, I have saved more money, this time I will buy you more valuable things! I will buy you jewelry and nice clothes, okay?"

"Where can you get more silver?"

"Then you don't have to worry about it, anyway, tell me what you want, and I'll buy it for you!"

Wei Yilin intends to sell some of his private possessions of valuables. Although he doesn't know how much those things are worth, he is willing to exchange them all to add makeup to his eldest sister.

"I don't lack anything, and the dowry is complete." Wei Ruo said.

"If you don't lack anything, it's yours. I want to buy it for you!"

Wei Yilin's intention to curry favor with Wei Ruo is obvious, and he almost carved the word "pleasing" on his forehead.

Yun said: "It's rare that your younger brother has such a heart for you, so you can let him buy something for you."

Wei Ruo didn't answer, but changed the subject: "What's the news about my father recently?"

In Yun's place, the only topic Wei Ruo is interested in is the news about Wei Mingting.

Yun replied: "Yesterday I just received a letter from your father, telling me about the recent situation. Your father rarely mentioned things in the military camp to me. This time it is rare to mention some."

Yun continued: "That's exactly why I am more worried about your father. Everyone in the capital said that if the Japanese pirates can't be settled this time, they will blame the anti-Japanese army."

Wei Ruo couldn't help but frown. The anti-Japanese army lacked enough food and grass, so they could only defend but not attack, and had been in a passive state.

It is not easy to repel the Japanese pirates most of the time, and it is too difficult for them to ask them to beat the Japanese pirates until they can no longer attack.

"Can the imperial court send additional troops?" Wei Ruo asked.

"I haven't heard of it, and there is no movement on the grain and grass. It is probably because the grain income in various places is not very good. I want to let the Taizhou government solve it by itself." Yun said with a sad face.

Wei Ruo fell into deep thought. Even though Taizhou Prefecture had a good harvest last year, it is still difficult to completely rely on Taizhou Prefecture for self-sufficiency.

If the imperial court really does not send more troops and food, then the anti-Japanese army may not be able to sustain itself without waiting for the imperial court to inquire about the crime.

Hearing this, Wei Yilin couldn't help it: "How can this be? Daddy and the others are fighting so hard, why don't they arrange food and grass?"

Yun sighed: "On the one hand, in the past two years, there has been a shortage of food in various places, and the imperial granary is not rich; Come on, Jurchens."

If Wei understands this truth, Japanese pirates are a group of robbers. Although burning, killing and looting is hateful, it does not threaten the rule of the court.

Northern Jurchens are different. They can go south and dominate the Central Plains.

So the imperial court paid more attention to the Jurchens in the north than the Japanese pirates.

Wei Yilin didn't understand this, he said angrily: "Then we can't ignore the life and death of our father and the others. Those people in the capital are so extravagant and lustful, so why can't they save some for the soldiers who defend their home and country?"

"Yilin, you are still young, many things are very complicated, mother will not be able to explain to you for a while." Yun said.

Wei Yilin looked at Yun, then at Wei Ruo, and murmured, "No matter how small I am, I can understand that I can't chill the hearts of the soldiers."

Wei Ruodao: "You are right, but unfortunately some people don't understand."

Wei Ruo stayed with Yunshi for more than half an hour, and only when talking about the situation at Wei Mingting's side, Wei Ruo showed some interest. When Yunshi mentioned other things, she would respond one after another. talk.

Mr. Yun felt uncomfortable, but didn't know what to say.

In the end, there was really nothing to talk about, so Wei Ruo was let go.

After Wei Ruo left, Yun felt a little headache and subconsciously rubbed his temples.

Wei Yilin pursed his lips, and frowned tightly, not knowing whether he was worried about Wei Ruo's unwillingness to forgive him or about the anti-Japanese army.

###

Three days later, Wei Yichen finished the examination and returned to the Zhongyibo Mansion.

Yun arranged for him to go back to his residence to have a good rest, and then go to Shou'an Hall to pay his respects to the elders when he recovered.

Later, Mrs. Wei asked Wei Yichen many times about the exam situation.

Seeing Wei Yichen's appearance, the old man Wei's heart was half cold, but he still prayed that his grandson could be a Jinshi, even if it was the last one.

Another half month passed, and it was time to release the rankings.

The whole family went out early to watch the announcement, only Wei Ruo stayed in Changchun Garden and didn't join in the fun.

In the house, Xiumei grinds, Wei Ruo checks the account books and writes letters.

"Miss, do you think Eldest Young Master can be admitted to Gongshi?" Xiumei was still a little curious about the result.

"His words should pass the exam." Wei Ruo said.

I have read the original book, and it is set in the original book that Wei Yichen is a very talented person. Although his temperament changed a lot after he was taken away that time, there should not be a big change in his talent and learning.

"What about Mr. Xu and Mr. Zhao? Mr. Xu should have a better chance. He is Jie Yuan from Jiangsu-Zhejiang Road."

"I don't know him very well. According to Zhao Xun, it is not easy to be admitted to Juren. This time, it will be good if he can pass the exam safely."

Wei Ruo didn't care much about whether these people could pass the exam, and whether they were good or not had little to do with her.

Wei Ruo and Xiumei were busy in the house for a while, when they suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers and drums outside.

Xiumei hurried outside to check the situation, and came back quickly after a while.

"Miss, I won, the young master really won!"

"Well, as expected."

"No, miss, it's not an ordinary winner, the one who wins the young master is the first member!"

"First place?" Wei Ruo asked.

"Yes! It was shouting outside, I listened carefully, it is indeed the number one member!"

Xiumei was a little excited. Although this matter might not have much to do with her young lady, it was the first time she encountered such a thing, so she couldn't help becoming excited.

Wei Ruo couldn't help being a little surprised, he didn't expect Wei Yichen in this life to be able to do so well in the exam!

She thought he could win, but she didn't expect that he won the first place.

In the provincial examination, he failed to pass Jieyuan, but unexpectedly, he won the first place in the general examination.

"Miss, it's very lively outside, should we go and have a look?"
