A Blessed Daughter

Chapter 568: Thoughts about my second brother

 “No.” Wei Jin also denied.

 Soon after, Wei Jin also stood up.

It was already getting late, so Wei Jin did not stay long. After telling Wei Ruo to rest early, he left.

After Wei Jin also left, Wei Ruo washed up and went to bed.

 After lying on the bed, Wei Ruoquan lost all sleep.

His mind was filled with the contents of the conversation he had just had with Wei Jinyi.

 There is both longing to leave the capital and gratitude to Wei Jinyi.

She is looking forward to leaving the capital. Once she leaves the capital, with her current status and the wealth she already owns, she can do many things that she could not do before, and she can live a more free and unrestrained life than she does now.

But she had no plans on how she would treat her relationship with her second brother after leaving the capital.

 She has been having some "unreasonable thoughts" about her second brother recently, which troubles her a little.

 She knows that her second brother loves her very much. As a younger sister, she shouldn't have any thoughts about him other than family affection.

 But when she was alone with her second brother, she always had untimely emotions and thoughts that were beyond those of her brother and sister.

She couldn't blame her for harboring evil thoughts. In fact, her second brother's face made it difficult for her to keep her heart in peace. In addition, he was so gentle and considerate to her. When she reached puberty, wouldn't she become more and more restless? ?

Hey, when will her adolescent excitement end?

 She doesn’t want to break the current balance between the two!

What if the second brother gets scared and avoids her after hearing about it?

The second brother treated her well and had nothing to say, but she coveted his body.

 Is this something humans do?

 It’s inappropriate, it’s inappropriate, Wei Ruo, you can’t do this!

Wei Ruo covered his face with the quilt and wailed a few times.

Then he lifted the quilt again and cheered up: "Wei Ruo, you have to cheer up. If you want to be grateful to your second brother, just be grateful. Don't think about what you have or don't have. This is not your style!"

“I can’t think about it anymore, I will have dark circles under my eyes when I wake up tomorrow!”

“No matter what, I’m happy to know that I have the opportunity to leave the capital!”

Wei Ruo talked to himself for a while, successfully persuaded himself to calm down, and then fell asleep slowly.

　　###

 Early on the next morning, Wei Ruo got up and heard the good news from the palace.

The emperor ordered the execution of Concubine Qi and put Concubine Hui into the cold palace. Concubine Jing Zuo Lingyue was imprisoned in the sky prison.

There were no specific instructions to Chu Lan, but the emperor ordered to recall King Qin who was responsible for supervising the construction of warships in Taizhou Prefecture.

This move seemed to vaguely reveal the intention to reuse the King of Qin, and it also showed that this incident still had an impact on Chu Lan.

 Things are developing in the direction that she and her second brother expected.

Wei Ruo was in a good mood and went to the palace's fields early in the morning to dig vegetables, pick mushrooms, and catch a fat old hen.

 Then he ran to the kitchen to make a delicious meal, and went to Wei Jinyi's study with it to find him at noon.

 After Ke Chongshan and Zhang Yi reported to Wei Jinyi, they looked at each other and smiled.

Zhang Yi joked: "Master, we won't disturb you for lunch. We can all smell the aroma of the lunch prepared by the eldest lady, it is so delicious!"

Ke Chongshan said with a naive smile: "My wife has a good appetite recently. I will go back and have dinner with my wife!"

After the two of them walked out of Wei Jinyi's study, Wei Ruo came in carrying two food baskets.

Wei Jin also stepped forward to help: "Why did you take so many things by yourself?"

“It’s too much to order like this. There are only six dishes in total, and they don’t have much weight.” Wei Ruo was too lazy to ask for help with both food boxes.

As Wei Ruo spoke, he placed the dishes brought in the food box on the table.

 Glutinous rice chicken, stir-fried pork liver, roasted vegetable stems with chicken rack, fried tofu, Qianzhang steamed buns and spicy rabbit head.

They are all home-cooked dishes, not uncommon dishes, but those made by Wei Ruo's hands are all delicious and delicious. There was also a cotton bag containing three cowhide water bags, and Wei Ruo also put them up.

 Looking at Wei Ruo pouring something out of a cowhide water bag, Wei Jinyi frowned slightly.

Wei Ruo smiled and said: "Second brother, don't be afraid. What's in this is a health tonic that I mixed myself, not wine. I put it in this cowhide water bag because I was afraid of spilling it. If you don't believe me, smell it."

"Um."

 It is indeed not wine.

So Wei Jin also picked up the cup and tasted it.

Although it is medicine, the taste is not unpleasant. There is a sweet taste when you taste it carefully. It should be because something like licorice is added to it.

“As winter passes and spring comes, we replenish our body and prepare ourselves for the new year’s work.” Wei Ruo explained.

Following that, Wei Ruo took another cup and poured the contents of the second cowhide bag into Wei Jinyi.

"It's barley and red bean milk. I grind it freshly and drink it while it's hot." Wei Ruo introduced.

 “Well, it’s very sweet.” Wei Jin also said.

 The tonic just now is not unpleasant to drink, but this barley and red soy milk is really delicious.

“Yeah, I think it’s good too. It tastes good, warms me up and makes me full.”

As for the contents of the other cowhide bag, Wei Ruo didn't tell Wei Jinyi, nor did he pour it for Wei Jinyi. He only poured himself a cup.

“Why did Ruoer come here to look for me today?” Wei Jin also asked Wei Ruo.

"I'm in a good mood. Also, I want to express my gratitude to you." Wei Ruo said frankly.

“Ruo’er doesn’t have to be so polite to me.”

"If you treat me well, I have to show it. If I just keep everything in mind, how will you know?" Wei Ruodao.

Then Wei Ruo said to Wei Jinyi with a serious expression: "Actually, I don't know how to express my gratitude to you. Sometimes as long as I see you, I will feel at ease. Not only will you be there when I meet He protected me when I was in danger and put himself in my shoes. This feeling is really warm and makes me extremely grateful."

Wei Ruo's bright eyes stared at Wei Jinyi sincerely.

Although you can't say those unreasonable thoughts, you still have to say the serious words of thanks.

Even if she can't do anything to help her second brother, she can at least let him know that she appreciates him and understands his kindness.

Wei Ruo's words made Wei Jin stiffen and look away in confusion.

Wei Jin also kept his face turned sideways. Wei Ruo couldn't see his expression, but could only see the blush from his cheeks to the roots of his ears.

 “Second brother, please turn around.”

Wei Ruo moved closer to see Wei Jinyi's expression clearly and to know his reaction.

 Sensing Wei Ruo approaching, Wei Jin quickly turned her face back.

 “It’s okay.” Wei Jin also said.

Perhaps the stove in the room was burning too brightly, and Wei Jin also felt a little hot.

 He picked up the tea cup on the table and drank it in one gulp.

 Drinking it too fast, by the time Wei Jinyi realized that the tea tasted wrong, it was already too late.

“Second brother, that cup is wine, my medicinal wine…”
