Wei Ruo couldn't help but wonder: "Why did the second brother suddenly say this?" ”

"I'm just worried that I can't communicate with you all the year round, and occasionally there will be rumors that will be misreported back, making you worry in vain." Wei Jin also replied.

"Second brother, don't worry, I won't believe the gossip casually, you just need to take care of yourself, don't worry about me." Wei Ruodao.

"Hmm."

After entering the city, Wei Ruo did not go back to the school captain's mansion directly, but let the carriage take a detour to Sibaozhai.

Like the last time he went to Sibaozhai, Wei Ruo did not avoid Wei Jinyi this time. Directly took Wei Jin and went in.

Wei Ruo found the nurse and said to the nurse: "Nurse, help me send a letter to Brother Xiaoyong, just clip it in your family letter." ”

One of the great advantages of being close to the military is that every once in a while, the military will send letters to the soldiers' homes, and at the same time, they will also bring letters from their families to the barracks.

"Okay, it's almost the end of the month, and it's time for the barracks to deliver the letter, and I'll give them the young lady's letter in our letter when the time comes." The nurse said.

"Hmm."

Wei Ruo nodded, and then sat down and wrote down what he was going to say to Xu Zhengyong on a piece of paper.

Wei Jin also took the initiative to avoid it, and did not look at what Wei Ruo wrote.

After finishing the matter, Wei Ruocai and Wei Jin also returned to the school captain's mansion together.

After the two returned to the house, they found that Wei Mingting was also in the mansion today.

This is unusual, because he had only returned a few days ago, and if it wasn't for something important, he wouldn't have returned home at this time, after all, the situation on the front line was very tense.

At dinner in the evening, except for Wei Qingwan, who was still recuperating from her injuries, the Wei family arrived.

After dinner, Wei Mingting told his family the reason why he would come back today - to prepare military rations.

Seeing that he was about to fight with the Japanese again, the military rations could not be replenished in time, which shook the morale of the army.

Not to mention that after the granary of the army bottomed out in a few days, the soldiers would be hungry, and before the battle was fought, they would lose more than half of the battle.

Wei Mingting has no good way now, so he can only go back to the city to ask the prefect Yuan Zhengqin for help.

But Yuan Zhengqin is also a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice, and now the government does get a lot of grain, but this food is provided by Wei Ruo to attract the powerful gentry of Taizhou Mansion to make a profit, and it is not owned by the government, and the government cannot use it casually.

After listening to Wei Mingting's description, Yun asked Wei Ruo: "Ruo'er, you are in charge of the disaster relief, and you are also deploying all the food, so you can help your father think of a way to transfer a batch to the barracks to rescue the emergency." ”

Wei Ruo replied: "Mother, didn't my father say it, he has already discussed it with Lord Yuan, and Lord Yuan can't transfer this batch of grain to the barracks at will, how can I?" If the dissatisfaction of the powerful gentry who can contribute money and food makes them lose confidence in the government and this disaster relief operation, what will happen to my mother? ”

"Then you can't watch the soldiers who fought bloodily for the country, for the family, and for the people starve, right?" Yun said worriedly.

Wei Mingting interrupted the Yun clan and said: "Ruo'er is not wrong, these grains can't be moved casually, don't embarrass Ruo'er." Military rations need to be found separately. ”

"The concubine knows." Yun lowered his head and said.

Wei Yichen and Wei Jin were also silent the whole time and did not express their opinions.

After Wei Ruo returned to Tingsong Garden, Xiumei asked Wei Ruo: "Miss, didn't you say before that if there is a shortage of food in the army, are you willing to give the food to the barracks?" Why didn't you tell the master just now? ”

The granaries in Wei Ruo's Zhuangzi are full, and Wei Ruo said before that these grains will not be sold, just in case of emergency, unless there is a shortage of food in the army.

"Meimei, have you forgotten that I went to Sibaozhai today?"

"Well, Miss wrote to Brother Xiaoyong." After Xiumei answered, she was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, "Miss, do you want Brother Xiaoyong to come forward?" ”

"Well, it should be a credit to be able to solve the urgent needs of the military camp, right?" Wei Ruodao.

Xiumei nodded: "The Seventh Prince and the Lord are very anxious about something, if it is solved, it must be a great achievement!" ”

"In this case, I can't give food for nothing, no matter how I say it, I have to help Brother Xiaoyong save up for a military merit."

"Yes, yes, let Brother Xiaoyong save up a military merit!" Xiumei raised her hands and feet in agreement.

Wangmei Garden.

Wei Qingwan, who was recuperating from her illness, also heard the news of Wei Mingting's return, and she looked forward to her father coming to visit her.

If it was before, she was injured, no matter how small the injury, even if she accidentally fell and bumped in the courtyard, her father would come to visit her when he came home, and even if he couldn't come, he would order someone to care about her.

However, today, she waited until late at night and did not wait for Wei Mingting to come to visit her.

Hope was disappointed, and Wei Qingwan couldn't help but be disappointed and sad.

Wei Qingwan was already able to get out of bed in the past two days, and with the support of Mama Li, Wei Qingwan stood in front of the window, looking sadly at the crescent moon outside the window.

"Mama, what should I do now? Now that my father is really tired of me, can I still gain a foothold in this family? Wei Qingwan asked Mama Li.

Mama Li was also anxious, she was no less worried about this matter than Wei Qingwan.

But she still had to be patient to comfort Wei Qingwan: "Miss, don't worry, the master is still angry, and when he is angry, he can remember the father-daughter relationship in the past." ”

Wei Qingwan didn't answer, looking outside, she only felt that she was like the remnants of flowers that had bloomed in the yard, swaying in the wind, helpless, and crumbling.

"Miss, you're still weak now, I'll help you back to bed to rest first." Mama Li persuaded.

Wei Qingwan nodded, and with the help of Mama Li, slowly moved back to the bed.

After sitting down, Wei Qingwan asked, "Mama, why hasn't tonight's medicine been delivered yet?" ”

Wei Qingwan has to use medicine once a day in the morning and evening, divided into internal and external application.

But tonight, neither the internal nor external medicine has been delivered.

"This ......" Mama Li didn't know how to explain.

She had actually asked her daughter Cuihe to urge the kitchen, but the kitchen said that the medicine had run out and had not been bought back, and they couldn't do anything about it.

"What's going on?" Wei Qingwan noticed that Mama Li had something to hide from her.

"Miss, the medicine is running out......"

"But I'm not all right, why don't they stop grabbing medicine?" Wei Qingwan couldn't believe what her ears were hearing.

She hasn't gotten all the money yet, so why didn't the government buy medicine for herself?

"This ......" Mama Li didn't know what to say.

"So now they don't even care if I live or die?" Wei Qingwan was devastated, her eyes were red, and tears filled her eyes.
