Wei Ruo felt the look from the Yun family, but deliberately pretended not to see it.

She can not take the monthly money of the Wei Mansion, but she is not so generous if she wants her to take out the silver to support her family.

As long as she doesn't take the initiative, it will be difficult for the Yun clan to open this mouth. It is not a decent thing for parents to leave their daughter's private money in a big house, unless outsiders don't know, and if they know, the degree of shame is no less than that of a pawn.

After ignoring the Yun family's gaze, Wei Ruo pretended to be casual and asked about the displaced people in Wei Mingting: "Father, what are you going to do with the displaced people's mansions that have been pouring into the city these days?" ”

Wei Mingting sighed: "There is no good way to deal with it, I originally wanted to recruit them into the army, but the refugees are not all adult men, the elderly and children account for the majority." Even if there are men in the prime of life, most of them are dragging their families with them, and if a single recruit man enlists in the army, the family members left behind don't know how to live in this famine year. And even if the government has the heart to take it in, there is no good place to take it in. ”

Hearing this, Wei Yichen asked: "What if they are arranged to go to the wasteland like Xingshan County before?" At that time, the eldest sister and the county government arranged for the displaced people to participate in the reclamation of the wasteland in the south of the city, and the harvest was very rich, not only resettled the displaced people, but also successfully improved the wasteland, bringing about a bumper wheat harvest this summer, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Wei Mingting thought for a while and said: "Last year, there were fewer displaced people in Xingshan County, but this year, the scope of the famine has been further expanded, and the number of displaced people is increasing. But in any case, if the imperial court can arrange for some people to open up the wasteland for self-sufficiency, it is better than nothing, and it can alleviate some problems to some extent. ”

Saying that, Wei Mingting and Wei Yichen looked at Wei Ruo at the same time.

If you want to do this, Wei Ruo is a very crucial link.

Because not everyone can do this, only Wei Ruo has done it so far.

Otherwise, the Seventh Prince would not have come to the mansion to invite Wei Ruo a few days ago, and after being refused, he sent people to the mansion many times to give Wei Ruo gifts and say good things.

Wei Ruo replied: "The matter is very high, and it is several times more troublesome to organize the displaced people to open up the wasteland now than it was in Xingshan County, because there are more displaced people involved, and the scope of the wasteland to be reclaimed is also more extensive, and the government personnel that need to be mobilized will inevitably be more." In addition, Yuan Fu, the Seven Princes and others may all be involved, and at that time, the matter will not be something that I can control, so we need to discuss it again. ”

Hearing this, Wei Mingting agreed: "If what Ruo'er said is reasonable, this matter is indeed not simple, and you need to think twice." ”

Wei Yichen asked Wei Ruo: "Then Sister Ruo'er thinks there is anything we can do now?" ”

Wei Ruo replied: "Let's wait and see what happens, on the one hand, to see what arrangements the imperial court has, and secondly, to see the movements of other famous families in Taizhou Mansion. After all, my Wei family has a weak foundation in Taizhou Mansion, and my father is a military attaché, no matter from which point of view, we should not take the disaster relief from the beginning. ”

Even if Wei Ruo cares about the people, even if he is willing to put aside his prejudices against Chu Lan and cooperate with him again, he does not dare to rashly participate in the current situation.

Wei Yichen also agreed: "What Sister Ruo'er said is extremely true. ”

Wei Mingting couldn't help but say: "If you are a man, you will not lose a single cent to your brother." ”

Wei Yichen also agreed: "The eldest sister is a talented person. ”

Although Wei Yichen did not approve of some of the things that Wei Ruo did as a boudoir woman, he recognized Wei Ruo's talent and ability very much.

At this time, Wei Qingwan interjected: "Father, my daughter heard that the rich and noble families in Fucheng now have very rich food reserves, and my daughter feels that if they are willing to help, it should be able to relieve the pressure of the victims to a certain extent." ”

Wei Mingting said: "Wanwan is talking about the families in Taizhou Mansion who have accumulated a lot of money in the past years, and the granary is also full all year round, but now in this situation, even if the family is rich, they don't dare to take out the grain casually." ”

If this method had worked, the government would have taken action a long time ago, and it would not have been delayed until now.

Wei Yichen also said: "What's more, these displaced people can't be solved overnight, if you let the rich families in the city get food relief, I don't know when the relief will end." Moreover, the displaced people from other places are afraid that they will rush into the capital of Taizhou when they get the news, and the situation will only get worse at that time. ”

Wei Qingwan's idea was jointly denied by Wei Mingting and Wei Yichen, and Wei Qingwan lowered her head a little sadly.

Seeing this, Wei Yichen comforted: "Wanwan doesn't have to care, you have little contact with these things, and the books you read such as the female ring generally do not involve this knowledge, and it is normal for people to think poorly." If you have this heart to think for the people, it's already very bad. ”

Wei Qingwan nodded, she also knew that this was not what she was good at, but she was a little unwilling in her heart Wei Ruo could talk to her father and brother, but she could only watch from the sidelines.

Later, Wei Mingting, Wei Yichen and Wei Ruo said a lot about the victims and the lack of food harvest, and although they did not reach any conclusion in the end, the views of the father and daughter in the discussion were surprisingly consistent.

After the chat, everyone left Cangyun Yuan one after another.

When Wei Yichen saw Wei Ruo leaving, he immediately followed, and caught up with her after leaving Cangyun Garden.

"Sister Ruo'er." Wei Yichen came to Wei Ruo and blocked Wei Ruo's way.

It's summer, it's getting dark, and even after dinner, the sky is still white.

"Big brother calling me something?" Wei Ruo asked.

"Today, the eldest sister asked Lu Gongzi to bring a message to Brother Xu?" Wei Yichen asked.

"Hmm." Wei Ruo frankly admitted.

"It's not appropriate for you to do so much, how can you ...... it in private, the marriage is a big event, the order of your parents is a matchmaker," Wei Yichen paused, and then said, "Moreover, Lu Gongzi is always an outsider, and it doesn't hurt for you to talk about these things with your parents and brothers at home, and it is somewhat unseemly to talk to outsiders." ”

"Thank you big brother for reminding me, I'll pay attention next time. If nothing else, I'll go back first. Wei Ruo didn't argue with Wei Yichen much.

Wei Yichen's brows did not stretch, but wrinkled even deeper.

"Sister Ruo'er, don't leave yet, the eldest brother's words haven't been finished yet." Wei Yichen called Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo continued to look at him, waiting for him to finish speaking.

Wei Yichen looked at Wei Ruo's cold eyes and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

After pondering for a moment, Wei Yichen continued: "If you really don't want to marry the eldest brother, you will help you find a way, but in private, you should not contact Brother Xu too much, so as not to fall into the mouth." ”
