Chapter 43: I Can Help You
Wei Jin is not even a child, let alone taking the test for Xiucai, lifting people, and Jinshi.
I didn't even take the test.
Although he is an unfavored concubine, if he wants to take the exam, Wei Mingting and the Yun family should agree, if he is admitted, it will be an honor for the family.
"I didn't want to be here before." Wei Jin also replied.
"Once upon a time?"
"Hmm."
"Changed now?"
"There's a slight change."
"Do you want to take the test?" Wei Ruo asked.
Wei Jin is only sixteen now, and although he started the exam later than Wei Yichen and them, it is not too late in this era when scholars take the imperial examination for life.
Wei Jin didn't answer this, but asked about Wei Ruo: "I heard that my mother is arranging for you to go to the county government to attend classes." ”
"yes, I hope she's slower."
"You don't want to go?" Wei Jin also asked.
"Well, I don't want to go." Wei Ruo flattened his mouth and sighed helplessly.
"Do you not want to go to class or do you not want to go to the prefect government?" Wei Jin also asked again.
"Although I don't really want to go to class, I still don't want to go to class with Wei Qingwan a little more in comparison." Wei Ruo replied.
Probably because of the friendship that he had died, Wei Ruo was much less defensive of Wei Jinyi, and some things that could not be said to the rest of the Wei family would be said to Wei Jinye.
And Wei Jin also knew about the last time.
Wei Ruo said: "Actually, I wanted to find another female gentleman by myself, but I was rejected, I don't know how long I can delay it with the matter of the wasteland in the south of the city." ”
In fact, Wei Ruo himself has the financial strength to afford to hire a female gentleman, and he also has a way to invite a decent female gentleman, but it is a bit troublesome to let the school captain's office nod without exposing himself, and Wei Ruo has not yet thought of a suitable solution to the problem.
Wei Jin also stared at Wei Ruo, who was a little worried, and said, "I can help you hire a famous female gentleman." ”
"Can you get a lady of repute?" Wei Ruohu looked at Wei Jinyi suspiciously.
A famous female gentleman is not easy to invite, and it is not something that can be done with money.
"My biological mother was born in a scholarly family, and she has some connections in this regard, and I still have some contacts with the people on my biological mother's side, so it shouldn't be too difficult to help you hire a female gentleman." Wei Jin also explained.
Wei Ruo didn't know much about Wei Jin's biological mother's situation, but looking at Wei Jinyi's serious expression, he knew that he sincerely wanted to help her, and he was sure that he could help her.
Then Wei Ruo was not polite to him.
"If it's a famous female gentleman, maybe I can handle this matter and get them to agree that I don't study with Wei Qingwan." Wei Ruo suddenly had an idea in his heart.
Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo's raised lips and smart cunning eyes, vaguely looking forward to her next arrangement in this matter.
After Wei Ruo and Wei Jin chatted for a while, Xiumei and Xiaobei came back with the prepared dishes.
Three dishes and one soup, steaming, full of fragrance.
Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to sit down and eat together, and Wei Jin also called Xiaobei to the table.
None of them are rigid people, and if there is no one else today, they don't need to be so clearly divided by the master's subordinates.
There were four people sitting at the small stone table in the octagonal pavilion, and three of the four dishes this time were not spicy.
Wei Ruo informed Wei Jinyi in advance that the plate of fried chicken offal would choke people like the seafood hot pot last time, and asked him not to touch it and drink more chicken soup.
Wei Jin didn't touch the chicken offal at first, but after tasting the other three dishes, Wei Jin still went to taste the chicken offal.
With the experience of choking last time, this time he ate very small bites and chewed slowly.
It seemed to be trying to figure out why this pungent taste was so appealing to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo saw that he tried again, so he looked at him curiously.
Seeing that he wasn't choked like last time, he asked, "How is it?" ”
"It's delicious, and it's not hard to swallow." Wei Jin also commented.
"Then if you have the opportunity to eat it a few more times, maybe you will fall in love with the taste."
"Hmm."
Because it was inconvenient to move, Wei Ruo stayed in the pavilion of Yingzhuyuan all afternoon, and Xiumei helped her bring some account books.
She and Wei Jin were also on the same side, he looked at him, she looked at her, did not disturb each other, did not speak during the period, and got along very quietly.
Halfway through, Wei Jin also caught a glimpse of Wei Ruo's handwriting on the paper, the handwriting was extremely immature, as if she had just practiced calligraphy, and the only person who could compare her handwriting with her in the house was only seven-year-old Wei Yilin.
In the evening, after having dinner together, Wei Ruocai listened back to Songyuan again with the support of Xiumei.
After Wei Ruo left, Wei Jin also wrote a letter and handed it over to Xiaobei to send out of the house.
When he came back, Xiaobei brought a reply, saying that they would definitely do what the young master had explained.

After planting, the temperature rises, but it is still a little lower than in previous years.
Some old farmers are already worried about this year's harvest, and under this situation, this year's harvest will still not be better, and may even be worse than in the past two years.
After a few days of cultivation, Wei Ruo's body completely recovered, so he went to the wasteland south of the city again.
The plot she chose for the experiment had been weeded and the first batch of furfural residue and humus hydrolyzed by sealed fermentation had been placed.
These things are acidic, which can well neutralize the alkalinity of saline soil, making the soil suitable for ordinary crops.
Wei Ruo arranged for Changgong to carry out the second humus landfill today.
The two Changgong and Mama Zhang didn't quite understand Wei Ruo's arrangement, but the work was done well.
Today, Wei Ruo wanted to work in the field by himself for a while, but was persuaded by Mama Zhang, asking Wei Ruo to stay in the carriage, if there is anything to do, just give it to them.
Wei Ruo had to lean into the carriage and arrange the work of directing the two long-term workers and Mama Zhang.
At noon, Wei Ruo sat down under the camphor tree next to the test field to rest, Xiumei was on her left, and Mama Zhang was on her right. The two long-term workers were by the river farther away.
Xiumei took out the lunch she had prepared before going out: braised pork rice bowl with a stack of boiled cabbage hearts.
For the same lunch, Wei Ruo also prepared one for Mama Zhang and the two long-term workers who were traveling with him, and each one was packed in a separate food box.
After Xiumei gave a food box to Mama Zhang, she walked to the river and gave the other two to Ah Gui and Xiaoba.
Mama Zhang, who got the food box, and the two long-term workers were stunned.
The eldest lady actually prepared one for all of them!
"Don't just look at it, eat it quickly. It's all at this point, how can you have the strength to work if you don't have enough to eat. Wei Ruo said to the three.
The three of them came back to their senses, hurriedly put down the nest head they had brought, and opened the food box given by Wei Ruo.
There is meat! Big, chunky meat!
The eyes of Mama Zhang and the two long-term workers burst out with excitement.
