Chapter 548 Returning to my parents home to pay New Years greetings
The clothes Ruoer prepared are good-looking. Wei Jin also replied.
No, no, no, second brother is still good-looking. Wei Ruo insisted.
Ruoer, dont praise me anymore.
Wei Jin did not look directly at Wei Ruo, and answered in a very soft voice.
Wei Ruo couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker. The second brother was said to be shy by her.
She never gets tired of teasing her second brother, and the more she does it, the more addicted she becomes.
Then they sat down and had lunch together.
After lunch, Wei Jin also talked to Wei Ruo about some recent events in the capital.
Mainly due to disasters in various places, the Japanese pirate rebellion on the southeast coast and the movements of the Jurchen tribe in the northeast.
Wei Ruo suddenly thought of something: "Second brother, as the disaster worsens this year, a peasant uprising may break out, and some rampant bandit gangs may appear in various places."
Wei Ruo remembered that in the original work, Chu Lan took money to provide disaster relief, and then encountered a group of thieves. This group was called grass bandits by the court, but these people thought they could not survive and were forced to revolt.
In the original work, Wei Qingwan was taken with him that time. The two experienced a life and death disaster, and their relationship was sublimated.
The plot of the two of them working together in this life will not happen, but the natural disasters have not changed, so the thieves' gang should still exist.
Wei Ruo didn't know whether this matter would have any impact on the court situation, so she thought of it and told Wei Jinyi.
Hearing this, Wei Jin also thought for a moment and then said: "Ruo'er's guess is very likely to happen, so I will make plans in advance."
Yeah. Wei Ruo nodded.
Wei Jin also continued: "I also have something to tell you. It is the news that Zhang Yi brought back just before I came here. Xu Zhengyong will be transferred to the Northeast."
Brother Xiaoyong is going to be transferred? Wei Ruo asked.
Xiumei standing aside suddenly looked at Wei Jinyi, her ears pricked up, her expression focused.
"Well, the Jurchen tribe in the Northeast is about to make a move and needs to send more troops just in case. Xu Zhengyong took the initiative to go there."
Brother Xiaoyong volunteered? Wei Ruo showed a somewhat doubtful expression.
"Well, that's the news I got. The specific reason is not clear yet." Wei Jin also replied.
Then when will he take office?
Theres no rush, he will come to the capital first before taking up his post. Wei Jin also said.
Xiumei's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but ask, "When are you coming here?"
After asking, Xiumei realized that she had exceeded the rules, and immediately covered her mouth and said apologetically: "You deserve to die, I shouldn't have interrupted the conversation between the prince and the lady."
"It doesn't matter, you are not Ruo'er's slave, and you are certainly not mine, so there is no need to be restrained." Wei Jin also said to Xiumei.
Then Wei Jin also answered Xiumei's question just now: "It is estimated that we can arrive in the capital before the Lantern Festival."
Then I can celebrate the Lantern Festival with Brother Xiaoyong! Xiumei said happily.
Wei Ruo couldn't help but look happy, and couldn't help but look forward to the Lantern Festival.

Uncle Zhongyis Mansion has also been very lively this year, because Wei Mingting is back.
Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei were particularly happy. Their youngest son, who had always been taciturn, had now become the pillar of the family and held up the lintel of the Wei family. The two elders were deeply pleased.
Happy and sad at the same time, looking at Sanfang's side, Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong laughed a little insincerely. Now that the second elder is still there, everyone celebrates the Chinese New Year together, and they also get involved in Sanfangs glory. When the second elder is gone, with Sanfangs current behavior, they may not even be able to drink broth.
In the past, when Wei Mingting was away and they came to see Wei Yichen, Wei Yichen would always find various ways to avoid seeing them. Even if he allowed them to see them, he would leave after saying a few words, or directly change the topic, in short, not giving them a chance to talk with him in detail. Business.
Now that Wei Mingting was at home, the two of them went to find Wei Mingting together.
In the end, Wei Mingting gave an even simpler answer: I am away from home all year round, and Yichen takes charge of all affairs in the house.
Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong talked in front of him for a long time. At one time they said that he was the head of the family and it was him who should make decisions, and they should not obey the juniors in everything. At another time they said that Wei Yichen was just starting out and acted inappropriately.
But Wei Mingting had taken the weight and made up his mind. No matter what his two brothers said, he would give the same response and respond to all changes with the same attitude, which made Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong, who were full of words, unable to do anything.
The second room of the Wei family.
Mr. Bai was calculating and calculating in her room, and the more she calculated, the angrier she became.
"You should think of a way. Now that the money for the third bedroom is no longer paid to the public, the parents' money is taken care of by themselves. If we are responsible for our own profits and losses, we won't have enough money at all!"
"Why isn't there enough? Didn't we get some shops? There are also your dowry, so many shops, fields and houses! Even if the harvest is not as good as in previous years, we can still live in this life!"
Dont you know how the prices of food and vegetables have risen in the capital now?
"This..." Wei Mingyong really didn't know very well, but he had heard about it once or twice.
Wei Mingyong thought about it seriously and then said, "Won't Prince Yu's side concubine be returning to the palace tomorrow? Why don't you ask her to get the one thousand taels back?"
Are you crazy?
"What's the point? Anyway, after the last incident, the relationship between you and her has been completely broken off. Prince Yu has no support for the Qi family and has no chance to be the crown prince. Wei Qingwan signed the IOU for you in black and white. Now, now It is natural for us to repay debts, even if she is a princess, it is within our rights."
What you said seems to make sense

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, according to Daye custom, the daughter who got married last year will go back to the house with her husband on the second day of the Lunar New Year to pay New Year greetings to her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
The two girls from the Wei family got married last year, so Uncle Zhongyi's house was prepared early and waiting to welcome the two girls Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan back home.
If Wei came by himself, Wei Jin did not accompany him, but only brought a group of followers.
And Wei Qingwan entered the Wei family accompanied by King Yu Chu Heng.
This is unexpected, but it is reasonable.
Logically speaking, if Wei is the royal concubine, it would be reasonable for the prince to accompany her back to her natal home for New Year greetings, but Prince Rui is ill.
Wei Qingwan is just a side concubine. Prince Yus main concubine entered the family in the same year as her. Prince Yu should not accompany her on the second day of the new year this year.
But the Qi family collapsed, and Prince Yus wife and concubine also lost her natal family.
Members of the Wei family welcomed Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan and Yu Wang Chu Heng into the door.
After the three of them entered the door, Wei Mingting, Yunshi and Wei Yichen first saluted Wei Ruo and three others according to their dignity.
Then everyone took their seats in the hall.
Wei Mingting and Yunshi were sitting in the high hall opposite the gate, Wei Ruoting was sitting on the left, Wei Yichen was sitting on the right, and Chu Heng and Wei Qingwan were sitting on the right.
The servants served tea and cakes to everyone.
Wei Ruo looked at Wei Mingting. He hadn't seen him for a long time. Wei Mingting's complexion was darker, probably due to the sea breeze.
