Looking at Wei Qingwan, who was standing in front of him, dignified and euphemistic, Wei Yichen didn't know where to start.

"Wanwan, what have you been doing these days?" Wei Yichen asked.

"I take classes at the same prefect's house." Wei Qingwan replied.

"In addition to going to class, has Wanwan been to other places in the past few days?" Wei Yichen asked again.

"I went to the market today, and I was going to go to the jewelry store to have a look, but I didn't see anything to my liking, so I only bought two silk scarves in the end." Wei Qingwan replied, and then asked Wei Yichen with a puzzled expression, "Why did the eldest brother suddenly ask this?" ”

Wei Yichen looked at Wei Qingwan's crystal clear eyes, and his doubts for many days were shaken.

But for the sake of safety, Wei Yichen continued to ask: "Has Wanwan ever been to the vicinity of Anzhou College?" A few days ago, a classmate of mine told me that he had seen you near the college. ”

"What am I going to do there? Anzhou College is outside the city, not to mention that it is far from the city, and women are not allowed to enter and leave at will near the college, so I can't get in even if I go. Even if I miss my eldest brother, I won't rush to Anzhou College to disturb me. Wei Qingwan replied.

Wei Qingwan was reasonable, and her attitude was sincere, dispelling Wei Yichen's last doubts.

Wanwan has been obedient and sensible since she was a child, and she never does anything out of line. Not to mention such a shocking thing as messing with a man, it is something that has never been done to disobey parents and brothers.

How could such a well-behaved sister be the woman he had seen in the woods with a strange man that day?

If people are similar, they should be wrong.

After thinking clearly, a big stone in Wei Yichen's heart finally fell, and then said to Wei Qingwan: "It's good if it's not you." Recently, there have been more homeless people in the city, and I heard that there have been incidents of looting grain shops, and I want to tell Wanwan not to run around, you are not safe as a woman. ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I won't run around, I'm a woman, where else can I go except to go to the academy to study. Not to mention...... I'm not as comfortable as my sister and can move around. Wei Qingwan said.

Speaking of Wei Ruo, Wei Yichen's face couldn't help but sink, thinking of what Lu Gongzi said today.

"Well, if Wanwan goes out, she still needs to be like today, find a maid to accompany her, and make sure that there are enough people around." Wei Yichen continued to admonish.

"Big brother don't worry, I will be careful, big brother should also pay attention to safety, the road from home to Anzhou College will inevitably pass through some deserted areas, big brother remember to bring some guards who know how to do kung fu in the house, it is best to walk with classmates."

Wei Qingwan's words were full of concern for Wei Yichen.

"Well, I will." Wei Yichen didn't say much to Wei Qingwan with something in his heart, and left after saying a few words of concern.

After Wei Yichen left, Wei Qingwan's expression changed, and her palms sweated a lot.

###

Wei Ruo came back much later than Wei Qingwan.

It wasn't until dinner time that Wei Ruo returned.

Now that men and women are at separate tables, Wei Yichen not only didn't have a chance to talk to Wei Ruo when he finished eating, but he didn't even see her face.

It wasn't until tea drinking time after dinner that Wei Yichen saw Wei Ruo, but because his parents were present, Wei Yichen had to suppress the words of asking Wei Ruo in his heart.

Wei Mingting talked about the recent upsurge of displaced people and the lack of food for the people.

He is a military attaché, and these things are not under his jurisdiction, but these things that are happening now are no longer a matter of whose jurisdiction it is.

But no one with a conscience can be indifferent.

The Yun family also confessed to everyone about the current situation at home, and then left a bottom in everyone's hearts in advance: "In this situation, I am afraid that the mansion will have to reduce expenses, and your monthly money may be reduced to before we came to Fucheng." ”

Hearing this, Wei Qingwan took the lead in saying: "The mother doesn't have to worry, the daughter is willing to take the initiative to cut expenses and tide over the difficulties with the family." ”

Wei Yichen said in a deep voice: "Mother, from this month onwards, my monthly money will be halved, I don't need so much, today I also won the competition of Sibao Zhai, and got a month's supply of blank paper from their store." ”

Wei Yilin thought about it and said: "I don't need any monthly money, I just have enough to eat." ”

Of the four children, all three of them opened their mouths, leaving Wei Ruo, who was the eldest daughter, to sit quietly on the side.

Wei Ruo found that everyone was looking at her, so she put down the teacup in her hand unhurriedly and said, "I don't have to give my monthly money." ”

As soon as Wei Ruo's words came out, he roasted Wei Qingwan, who was the first to express his position, on the fire.

Wei Yichen, as the eldest son in the family, has the most monthly money, and the Yun family will also subsidize him on weekdays to facilitate his expenses with his classmates on weekdays. If he halves, the remaining money will be enough for his expenses, but he will be more frugal in his daily life.

Wei Yilin is still young, and the monthly money of the servants in his courtyard is directly given by the Yun family, and most of the food and clothing are directly purchased by the Yun family, so it doesn't matter if he has monthly money or not.

As for Wei Ruo, she dared to say such a thing because she had money in her hands and a rich family, so she didn't want to live well with the monthly money given by the public.

Wei Qingwan was the first to express her position, but she didn't want to start with Wei Yichen and directly state how much money she wanted to reduce, but she seemed very passive.

Her monthly money is about to be enough, and she doesn't have so much private money as Wei Qingruo, not to mention that she doesn't need monthly money, even if it is halved, it will be difficult for her to support her daily expenses.

Wei Mingting said: "It doesn't have to be like this, if I pawn all the rewards I got last year, it should be able to last for some time." ”

Hearing this, the Yun clan hurriedly said: "Husband, it is all a reward from the imperial court......

"If you give it to me, it's mine, and it's not something that can't be pawned, it must be that the daily expenses of the people in the house are more important."

Wei Mingting didn't mind those things, and he felt that he shouldn't treat his children badly in comparison.

"But if it spreads like this...... Yun family still wants to save face, if the family knows that the Wei family pawned the court's reward items, even if the court has no opinion, it will be laughed at."

"There's nothing to be afraid of being laughed at, my Wei family is like this, how much property and family wealth can't be hidden from others. Nowadays, everyone's life is not very easy, and it is very common to sell some family funds, I heard that a few days ago, Fei Tong sold a farm in the north of the city, and people don't think there is anything. ”

Wei Mingting doesn't care about the eyes of others, he doesn't have this ability, so there is no need to hold on to the façade.

Yun didn't know how to answer for a while, his brows furrowed, and then subconsciously looked in Wei Ruo's direction.

It is a matter of everyone that the eldest daughter has a large amount of money in her hands, and although it is not a decent thing to borrow money from her daughter, it is at least not known to outsiders compared to pawning things rewarded by the imperial court, and as long as outsiders don't know, it doesn't matter if you are decent or not.
