Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Second Brother is Really Powerful
"My sister should still be busy with reading these days...... The specific daughter is not very clear, when my sister is in the house, I go to Yingzhuyuan to talk to the second brother, I have been looking for her a few times, but she is not there, so it is not very clear......" Wei Qingwan replied.
Hearing this, the Yun clan couldn't help frowning: "Ruo'er is thirteen, and Jin is almost sixteen, it's time to avoid suspicion." ”
The daughter is not familiar with her children, but has a good relationship with the concubines in the family, which makes the Yun family a little uncomfortable.
"Mother doesn't have to worry about my sister, my sister is very measured now. And didn't the second brother get that letter of recommendation? I want to come here for a few days and wait for a response from Huzhou Mansion, and the second brother will go to Huzhou Mansion. Wei Qingwan said.
Hearing this, instead of being happy, Yun's expression sank two points again.
It was only later that she learned that Wei Jinyi's box was bought by Wei Ruo, and her name was also filled in by Wei Ruo.
Although there is nothing wrong with this, the daughter treats her brother so kindly, but she treats her own brother a little distantly, which the Yun family does not want to see.
Yun Shi looked at Wei Qingwan beside him, who was relieved of his worries, and couldn't help but sigh again.

Listening to Songyuan, Wei Ruo heard about the rumors and speculations.
Compared with the situation in the Wei Mansion, Wei Ruo was more worried about Xu Zhengyong's situation.
Generally speaking, recruits entering the barracks will only go to the battlefield after a period of training, but that is in peacetime, and now the situation is urgent, and he is urgently conscripted into the army because of insufficient manpower, and he will definitely not be given too much time to train and adapt.
And the more recruits there are, the easier it is to be sent to charge.
I don't know if Brother Xiao Yong handed over the crossbow and whether he was recognized.
If it can be recognized, it should be helpful to Brother Xiao Yong's status in the army, and it can also increase our troops, so that Brother Xiao Yong's situation is relatively safer.
Xu Zhengyong in the original book did not follow him to Xingshan County, nor did he follow him to fight, so Wei Ruo could not predict Xu Zhengyong's ending.
Wei Ruo, who was a little bored, came to Yingzhuyuan to look for Wei Jinyi, and when he entered the door, he saw Wei Jinyi playing chess with himself.
Wei Ruo sat down next to him.
She has no talent for chess, especially Go, which is a brain-consuming chess game, she can only understand a rough idea, and she doesn't know exactly how to play it.
"Do you want to try it?" Wei Jin also stopped and asked.
"Don't, no, it's too brain-consuming, I'm not fit for this." Wei Ruo waved his hand again and again to refuse.
"Farming is also brain-consuming, and different crops have different planting and maintenance methods, and you can remember them clearly."
"There are specializations in the art industry, and different professions use different brains. I can't play chess anyway. ”
Wei Ruo supported his chin with one hand and looked at the chessboard in front of him thoughtfully.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is not looking at a chess game, but thinking about something else.
"Something?" Wei Jin was also keenly aware that Wei Ruo's expression was a little bad today.
"Did the second brother hear that there was going to be a war?" Wei Ruo asked.
"I've heard, sooner or later." Wei Jin's face was also calm.
"Second brother, do you think we can win this battle?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Eighty percent of the odds." Wei Jin also replied.
"Why eighty percent?"
"Father is thirty percent, the noble man in Xingshan County today is one percent, the additional troops sent by the imperial court are two percent, and the good news from the army today is two percent." Wei Jin also replied.
"Why does the second brother think that the noble man who has been in Xingshan County in recent days can still account for one percent?" Wei Ruo said curiously.
Chu Lan's biggest role in this war should be that he asked the imperial court to send additional troops to Xingshan County, but why did he alone account for 10%?
"He is not a simple rich kid, he has brains, understands the art of war, and is good at employing people." Wei Jin also replied.
Wei Ruo looked at Wei Jin even more curiously.
She also knew what Wei Jin said, because this is how Chu Lan was portrayed in the original book.
But why is the second brother, who is in the mansion and hardly goes out, so accurately evaluated.
Wei Jin also noticed that Wei Ruo was looking at him, and explained unhurriedly: "I like to read books, and I also like to listen to some rumors, although I am in a deep house, I also know enough about external affairs. ”
"Second brother, you are really powerful, if you go to the imperial examination, the probability of success is still very high." Wei Ruo also became more and more confident in Wei Jin.
Wei Ruo held his chin with both hands, with an expression of adoration, and it seemed that little stars were about to pop up in his eyes.
Wei Jin also smiled, and then his right hand couldn't help but reach out to Wei Ruo's head, and when he was about to make a gesture of touching his head, Wei Jin also stopped suddenly.
"Second brother, what are you doing?"
"Nothing." Wei Jin also hurriedly withdrew his hand, and then found a lame reason, "You have a dead leaf on your head." ”
"But even if this battle is won, it won't guarantee my friend's life." Wei Ruo's worries still did not abate.
Just because the war will be won does not mean that everyone on the victorious side will come back alive.
"Is that the friend you mentioned last time?" Last time, Wei Ruo also mentioned a friend.
"Well, that's the one, he joined the army, and the last time I rushed to make gold sore medicine, it was for him." Wei Ruo replied.
Join the army, that's a man.
And what can make Wei Ruo so worried must be unusual.
"Did your friend come to Xingshan County for you?" Wei Jin also asked.
Wei Ruo only arrived in Xingshan County a few months ago, and since then, he has rarely come into contact with outsiders.
So this friend is very likely to have known Wei Ruo when he was in Huzhou Mansion.
"Sort of." Wei Ruo replied.
The nurse and Uncle Xu are here, and Brother Xiaoyong is definitely going to come together.
Wei Jin also lowered his head and re-fiddled his chess game.
###
For two days in a row, the people living in the eastern part of the city could hear loud noises coming from the east, and sometimes they could see the light of a fire in the sky.
This made the dark clouds hanging over Xingshan County even thicker.
In the past few days, both Qian Mansion and Xie Mansion have suspended classes. Wei Qingwan and Wei Ruo both stayed at home and did not go out again.
Listening to Songyuan, Wei Ruo was looking at the account books.
Xiumei trotted into the room: "Miss, Mama Li...... Mama Li was taken back to the house! ”
"Isn't it less than three months?" Wei Ruo asked.
"I heard that it was the second lady who begged for mercy, so Mama Li went back to the house to be punished, and was fined an additional three months of monthly money."
Wei Ruo snorted lightly: "There is really a way." ”
"Miss, Mama Li is at the gate of our courtyard now, saying that she is coming to kowtow to you and ask for sin." Xiumei frowned, with a bored expression on her face.
Come back, come back, why bother looking for it?
"Let's go, go to the meeting, it just so happens that I've been bored for the past two days! Worried about Brother Xiaoyong's depressed mood has nowhere to resolve! Wei Ruo said.
