"You don't have to say thank you to me, I didn't do anything." Wei Jin also replied.

"Where didn't the second brother do anything? The second brother has done a lot of things, not only the coal mine was won with the help of the second brother, but the second brother also silently supported me to do a lot of things that other women can't do. Wei Ruo counted down what Wei Jin had also done for himself.

Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo's smiling face and did not answer.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Ruo stared at Wei Jin and said: "There are not many people in this world who can indulge me so much, my nurse is one, Meimei is one, and now there is one more you." ”

"Well, we're all your family." Wei Jin also said.

Hearing this, the corners of Wei Ruo's mouth kept rising.

Family, that's a beautiful word.

Although the nurse, Mei Mei, and the second brother are not related to her, they all give her the warmth that surpasses her family.

She was satisfied.

After that, Wei Ruo, accompanied by Wei Jinyi, purchased a manor in Hejian Mansion, near the cotton field she bought.

Because it is located in the suburbs, the price of the manor is not expensive, at least compared to the shops in the capital.

1,600 taels of silver bought a Zhuangzi covering an area of more than 20 acres, including a large bamboo forest at the back of the manor, all of which belonged to Wei Ruo.

And there are two huge warehouses in this manor, which Wei Ruo especially likes, and Wei Ruo can use them to store the cotton that he will harvest in the future.

Some of the materials transported from Jiangnan Wei Ruo can also be stockpiled here, and it is also convenient to transport them to the capital from here when necessary.

Wei Ruo, a large bamboo forest behind Zhuangzi, should also be used, bamboo has many uses, not only can produce bamboo shoots all year round, but also can be used to make various bamboo products.

In addition, as long as it is properly protected, bamboo forests can also be used to grow many useful herbs, such as ginseng in the forest, and seven-leaved flowers that like to grow in shade.

On the night of buying Zhuangzi, Wei Ruo did not rush back to Tongshan Temple, and Wei Jin also stayed with her.

There are their people on the mountain, as long as they hide it from Grandpa Gao, they won't have any problem if they don't come back for a night or two.

Wei Ruo and Xiumei set up an iron rack for barbecue in the large courtyard of Zhuangzi.

Xiaobei helped to light the fire and add charcoal on the side.

Wei Jin also asked people to find a lot of fresh ingredients, and after processing, they were skewered with freshly chopped bamboo skewers.

Such a scene feels familiar, but the difference is that the courtyard they are in is several times larger than the Wei family, and the surrounding environment is more quiet and quiet.

It didn't take long for the smell of meat to waft through the courtyard, making people smell it and increase their appetite.

Wei Ruo sprinkled each skewer with her secret barbecue sauce.

Xiao Beibei ate the kebab with a smile, and said with a satisfied face: "Miss, the food you made is too delicious, I was still a little unaccustomed to eating what you made for the first time, and now I eat what you made, and then I go to eat it elsewhere, I feel extremely bland." ”

Xiumei said: "What do you say as if the dishes made by my young lady are all based on seasonings, haven't we also made light food?" ”

Xiaobei hurriedly explained: "It's the subordinate who said the wrong thing, it's the things that Miss and Meimei make are delicious!" It's because I used to be ignorant, shallow and short-sighted, mistaking pearls for fish, and wild boars can't eat fine chaff! ”

Xiumei was amused by Xiaobei's series of apologies: "I see that you really gave up in order to eat a few bites of my young lady's food, and you said that you were a wild boar!" ”

"Compared with Miss and Meimei, I am indeed a boar, very rough!" Xiaobei smirked.

"Don't take a bite of Meimei, Meimei is called by my young lady." Xiumei corrected.

Obviously, she used to call her "Miss Xiumei", but recently, somehow, she has learned from her young lady to call her "Meimei", which sounds weird and awkward!

"I'm sorry, Miss Xiumei." Xiaobei saw Xiumei's face, and quickly changed his words.

"It's not that I won't let you scream, it's just that we don't know each other that well." Xiumei added.

"I know, Miss Xiumei, it's me who didn't think it through." Xiaobei scratched his head embarrassedly, looking a little shy like a little girl.

The four of them chatted while eating, and when they talked about the rise, Wei Ruo talked about the incident he had mentioned to Wei Jin a few days ago.

"I'm going to tell Mei Mei about a family affair."

As soon as the words fell, Xiumei and Xiaobei choked at the same time.

"What's wrong with you?" Wei Ruo asked, why did these two still choke together.

"Little ...... What are you talking about, Miss? What do you mean by kissing...... Didn't you say that I would never marry? You can't drag me into the water just because you're forced to marry! After Xiumei eased up, she asked with a surprised expression.

Xiaobei looked at Wei Ruo and Xiumei with wide eyes, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Don't worry, if you don't want to marry, I won't force you to marry, just talk about it, if you like it, you can do it, if you don't like it, you don't have such a thing. Don't let you want to marry at that time, but because I missed it, then I am really guilty. Wei Ruo said.

"Don't! If I don't say kiss, I'm going to stay with Miss for the rest of my life. Xiumei refused, and then added, "Besides, Miss, you haven't really married yet!" If you are not married, how can I marry? ”

Saying that, Xiumei glanced at Wei Jinyi: "You and the prince are not married, the prince will marry another in the future, you will marry again!" ”

As soon as Xiumei said this, Xiaobei looked at Wei Jinyi with a nervous expression.

The moonlight and the firelight of the lantern hanging next to him hit his face, reflecting his usual cold countenance, only those eyes slightly revealed some of the emotions he had hidden in the depths.

Xiumei paused, feeling that the atmosphere was a little weird, especially Xiaobei, how could he feel weird?

Did she say the wrong thing? Didn't you?

Originally, the prince and their young lady were not really married, but the young lady and the prince made this very clear.

Wei Ruo took a skewer of meat and brought it to Xiumei: "Meimei, eat meat." ”

Xiumei nodded with a dumbfounded expression, then took the meat skewer and nibbled on it.

Wei Ruo continued: "You put a thousand and ten thousand hearts, if you don't want to get married, I will never let you get married, let you accompany me to be a little rich woman for a lifetime." I just want to see each other, and if you don't even want to see each other, then I'll be okay if I didn't say it. ”

Xiumei relieved herself: "Miss, I'm relieved if you say that, I'm determined to accompany Miss to be a female landlord and a rich man for the rest of my life, how can I marry casually?" ”

Wei Ruo sighed slightly in his heart, and for a while he didn't know if it was right for him to instill in Xiumei the idea that women should rely on themselves and not on men.
