Chapter 197 - New Year's Eve

Chapter 197 Little Eve

“Your nose is really good.” Wei Ruo said.

Wei Yilin swallowed involuntarily as he looked at Wei Ruo holding the food box in his hand.

He was hungry after practicing all day, and the smell of meat was too tempting for him.

The lo-mei from this store was only bought once during the Laba Festival, and they never bought it again.

Niang said that the lo mei shop sells more expensive than others, and they have their own cooks, so it will be more economical to buy the ingredients themselves, so you don’t have to go outside to buy them if you don’t need them on weekdays.

But the cooking skills of the cook at home are really mediocre, and the lo mei made is incomparable with the ones sold in that shop.

“You are really rich!” Wei Yilin muttered.

Wei Yilin knows that Wei Ruo is the richest person in their family now, and her small coffers alone are bigger than their whole family’s combined.

“Well, I have money.” Wei Ruo replied confidently.

The smug eyes seem to say, my sister is rich, are you envious? Sorry, envy and jealousy are useless! If you have the ability, you can also make money by yourself!

“You…” Wei Yilin suddenly felt bored, he wanted Wei Qingruo to give him something to eat, but Wei Qingruo seemed to deliberately ignore 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, why don’t I call her big sister?” Wei Yilin muttered.

After Wei Ruo disappeared, and after confirming that she had no intention of caring about his younger brother at all, Wei Yilin said sullenly: “I have already offered to show my love, so it’s okay if you can’t treat me a little bit better.” Then I will obediently call you sister, but you don’t, I hate it to death!”

Wei Yilin became more and more angry as he muttered, and finally walked back to Aoju Garden in a huff.

During dinner, Wei Ruo saw Wei Yichen who hadn’t seen him for a long time.

Wei Yichen smiled and greeted Wei Ruo gently: “Sister Ruoer, long time no see.”

“En.” Wei Ruo responded, his reaction was more than a little colder than Wei Qingwan’s.

Because it was time to eat, Wei Yichen didn’t say much.

Wei Ruo glanced at the people in the room, there was only one Wei Yichen more than usual, and neither Wei Mingting nor Wei Jin came.

Wei Ruo couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed about this, she thought that the second brother would come back today.

“Ruo’er is here, everyone is here, take a seat.” Seeing Wei Ruo coming in, Yun took the initiative to talk to her.

This is the first time Yun has spoken to himself actively in the past few days, and he is in a good mood listening to it.

Wei Ruo was a little suspicious, what happened?

Wei Ruo subconsciously looked at Wei Yichen, and Wei Yichen smiled at Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo looked away, there is a high probability that Wei Yichen said something to Yun.

After being seated, Wei Yilin glanced over the food on the table, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Xiao’an’s meals are more hearty than usual, but they don’t have the Xu Ji lo mei he was expecting.

“What’s wrong with Yilin? Is today’s dish not to your liking?” Yun asked.

“No.” Wei Yilin denied, then glanced at Wei Ruo, eyes full of resentment.

Wei Ruo pretended not to see it, and ate his own.

Seeing that she was eating seriously, Wei Ruo was actually full. She planned to spend the evening with Xiumei in the courtyard for the two of them. A jar of wine.

After dinner, Yun left a few people to drink tea and chat, thinking that today they would talk more than before.

Mr. Yun first told everyone about the content of the reply letter from the Zhongyi Bofu in the capital.

“Your grandfather said in his reply that he was very happy and looked forward to the reunion of everyone 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 would want to stay in this remote place if they can be a capital official, and they are so close to the Japanese pirates, facing danger at any time.

Immediately afterwards, Yun said to Wei Yichen: “Yichen, your grandfather specially praised you, saying that you are the most promising among the brothers, and he thinks you are proud.”

There are currently eight boys in the Wei family’s generation, and Wei Yichen is the most promising of them.

“Grandpa praised me a lot, but I’m far from making him proud.” Wei Yichen replied.

Immediately afterwards, Yun looked at Wei Ruo again: “Your grandfather also mentioned you in the letter. He asked you to study hard and study hard, and specifically told me not to worry about your marriage.”

Yun family probably knows what the meaning of the capital side is, and he wants to arrange a better marriage for Wei Ruo after her husband is promoted and loses the capital.

“Hmm.” Wei Ruo responded flatly.

On the contrary, Wei Qingwan’s face became a little ugly.

She looked at Yunshi, waiting for Yunshi to mention herself.

However, Yunshi didn’t mention her, not because Yunshi didn’t want to mention her, but because the letter from the capital didn’t mention her at all.

The two elders of Uncle Zhongyi’s Mansion pay attention to blood, and they don’t think there is any need to care about Wei Qingwan who has no blood relationship with their own family and has never gotten along with Wei Qingwan.

“Mother, did you mention me in Grandpa’s letter?” Wei Yilin couldn’t wait, and asked impatiently.

Yun said: “Your grandfather mentioned you. When he gave the New Year’s gift to the capital last time, your father specially explained your progress over time in a letter. Your grandfather was very happy about this and asked you to continue to work hard in the reply letter.” , inheriting your father’s mantle.”

“That’s a must!” Wei Yilin replied confidently.

After answering the question, Wei Yilin suddenly remembered something, and asked, “Mother, what about Sister Wanwan? Did Grandpa say anything?”

After this question, Yun’s expression froze a bit.

Seeing Yun’s reaction, everyone understood.

Wei Qingwan lowered her head sadly, Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin looked at her and comforted her.

“Sister Wanwan, don’t be sad, grandpa must have forgotten too much!” Wei Yilin said.

“Grandfather usually only mentions something when he has something to explain. He didn’t mention sister Wanwan, probably because she was outstanding as always and reassured him.” Wei Yichen said.

“I’m fine, big brother, Yilin, don’t worry.” Wei Qingwan raised her head and showed a difficult smile.

This is obviously a forced smile, a smile that he forced himself to show to reassure them.

Seeing her like this, Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin felt even more distressed.

“Wanwan…” Yun’s heart was also distressed, but she couldn’t control the attitude of the capital.

Wei Ruo sat aside and sipped tea leisurely, admiring the colorful expressions of the people in the room, looking like an outsider.
