Chapter 377: Cheap Filial Piety
"It turns out that my mother has already figured out a solution." Wei Ruo said with a smile, "It's just that my mother has forgotten that the government has already formulated the rules, and how to distribute the new land that has been opened up is calculated according to the money, grain, and people contributed by each family, and how much the Wei family can get has been decided." ”
"Aren't you from the Wei family? Isn't your contribution from the Wei family? As long as you want, who dares to gossip more land? Yun asked a series of questions.
"But I don't want to, I just want to earn a good name for myself, I don't want to trade it for land." Wei Ruo replied, his eyes bright and transparent, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly by an arc.
"What did you say?"
Wei Ruo explained unhurriedly: "Does Mother think there is a problem? Isn't it good to be a lady who everyone praises, and to do things that are beneficial to the reputation of the school captain's mansion? Money can be obtained at any time, and land can be exchanged for other ways, but this good reputation is not so easy to obtain. ”
Wei Ruo continued: "Mother thinks, I am not only earning my own reputation, but also for our Wei family. My sister is corrupt, ruining the reputation of our Wei family girl, and making the Wei family suffer rumors, I, the eldest daughter, am doing something good now and gaining a good reputation, isn't it just right? ”
"In addition, my father was an official in the court, and he became a great hero praised by everyone, as his daughter, I can't hold him back, and I should also establish a good image of paying for the people without asking for anything in return."
Yun's words were choked back by Wei Ruo's righteous and awe-inspiring speech.
Her words are reasonable, and not only does it sound not the slightest wrong, but it is quite righteous.
Wei Ruo looked at the Yun family as if he wanted to reprimand him but couldn't find the words, and smiled slightly: "Does the mother think what her daughter said makes some sense?" ”
Yun Shi had a calm face: "You have been told everything, what else do you want me to say?" You haven't thought about the affairs of the family! You say I'm partial to Wanwan, you don't want to think about why, whenever I have any troubles, Wanwan knows cold and hot, filial piety and sensible, but you never think about my family. ”
"Oh? Sister knows cold and hot? Did she help you solve the problem? Why did my mother look for me, but not for her? ”
"She doesn't have the skills you have." Yun retorted.
"So it's just that when I touch my mother like this, I think it's filial piety? You don't have to pay money or effort to get a good reputation for filial piety, this business is very cost-effective! Wei Ruo chuckled.
"How do you speak?" Yun frowned.
"Does my mother think there's something wrong with what I'm saying? Why don't your mother try to let her sister take out all her private money to fill the family? Wei Ruo asked.
"She doesn't have much money for her own house." Yun replied.
"She still has a few sets of noodles, and if she sells them, she can exchange them for a lot of silver." Wei Ruo proposed.
"She's only got a few sets in total, and she has to go out to meet people."
If she really had the same willingness to share her worries and problems as her mother said, she would have sold the jewelry herself and handed over the money to her mother without her mother opening her mouth. In the final analysis, it is just a low cost and no money. ”
After saying this, Wei Ruo got up and said to the Yun clan before leaving:
"Mother's problem, my daughter can't help for the time being, if I think of any good way, I'll come to my mother again, I still have some affairs to do today, so I won't continue to bother my mother."
Then Wei Ruo didn't give the Yun clan time to continue reacting, and left Cangyun Yuan quickly.
Yun took several deep breaths before he didn't break out.
After a while, Yun turned his head to Cui Ping, who was waiting beside him, and said, "Look at her disobedient appearance, where can I talk to her well!" It's good not to be noisy. ”
Cui Ping comforted in a soft voice: "Madame is angry. ”
Cui Ping didn't say much about the words, she felt that what the eldest lady said was also a little reasonable, but it was not easy for her to say this as a lady's personal maid.
###
On the third day of the ninth month, the third day after the end of the autumn exam, Wei Yichen returned to the school captain's mansion.
When he returned to the house, he went to see Yun Shi for the first time, and Yun Shi asked him about the exam with a happy face.
"Okay." Wei Yichen's face didn't have too much expression, and he didn't see much joy or sadness.
"Chen'er, don't hide it from your mother, didn't you play well this time?" Yun said worriedly.
"Nope."
"Chen'er, don't be sad if you don't play well this time, we can wait another three years." Yun continued.
Compared with the sadness and sadness that his son didn't play well this time, the Yun family was more worried about Wei Yichen.
After all, there was such a big thing before the exam this time, and my son's mood was affected, and it was reasonable that he didn't play well.
"Not really. My mother can rest assured that I performed normally in this exam, and although I am not sure if I will be able to pass the exam, I have no regrets. Wei Yichen replied.
"Really?" Yun looked at his son's expression, a little disbelieving.
"It's true."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Yun's hanging heart fell back.
Wei Yichen looked at the Yun clan and asked, "I heard that my mother took the second sister who was supposed to be punished to Mrs. Yuan's banquet on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”
"Ruo'er told you? You've just returned home, and she's talking to you about this, what's she doing? Yun asked.
"It's not Ruo'er who said it, I haven't seen her since the side of the provincial city, and she hasn't brought me any news." Wei Yichen explained, "Mother doesn't need to contact the eldest sister about this matter, now I'm asking you about the second sister." ”
Facing Wei Yichen's sharp gaze, the Yun family showed a weak face: "Chen'er, the rumors outside are very unfavorable to our Wei family, I let your second sister go to the banquet to dispel the suspicion of the outside world against her, otherwise everyone will really think that she has done something immoral when they see her not going." ”
"Didn't she just do something immoral?"
"That's right, but she's my daughter or your sister, it's always good to be able to help cover up, not to mention that there's still Ruo'er? You can't even ruin Ruo'er's reputation, right? ”
"If you have the ability to earn a good name for yourself, you don't need to worry. What's more, with me and my father here, we should be angry and strong, glorify our ancestors, as long as the family is prominent, if we don't have to worry about having a good husband in the future. ”
Yun was dumbfounded, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Just when the atmosphere between the mother and son was cold, a panicked little guy ran in from outside the door.
"Madam, young master, something is wrong! Something happened to the second young master! ”
