In this context, it was not advisable to be too extravagant and wasteful.

In the evening, the Wei family gathered together.

Wei Jinyi, who rarely appears in the dining room, also appears for the first time today.

Seeing Wei Jinyi, Yun Shi was momentarily stunned.

“Mother.” Wei Jinyi greeted Yun Shi.  

“Hmm.” Yun Shi responded without saying anything.

Thinking about today’s special circumstances, it was reasonable for him to be willing to come over to eat together, and she was surprised because he hadn’t come to the dining hall to eat with them for too long, causing her to be stunned for a while.

Wei Yichen approached and proactively greeted Wei Jinyi: “Second brother, how have you been lately?”

“Not bad.” Wei Jinyi’s answer was as indifferent as ever, just like his expression.

“When will second brother go to Huzhou Prefecture?” Wei Yichen asked again.

“It should be in a few more days.” Wei Jinyi said.

“If you need anything, please tell me.” Wei Yichen said.

Wei Jinyi nodded.

Wei Qingwan’s gaze was fixed on Wei Ruo. Today, Wei Ruo was wearing a light green satin coat and skirt, with a simple hair bun. She looks lively and bright.

Father had been promoted, so the first daughter of their family would gain more spotlight. Wei Qingwan knew very well that the higher the family’s reputation, the more attention was paid to the eldest and youngest member.

In the future, when discussing marriage, the eldest daughter would also have an advantage.

Thinking of this, Wei Qingwan’s expression couldn’t help but darken.

Wei Ruo didn’t pay attention to others’ expressions. She was standing in the corner of the dining room, but her mind focused on other things.

Lately she had been worrying a lot about various reasons, such as the sweet potatoes in Xiaoyang Mountain in the north of the city, the improvement of the wasteland in the south of the city, and the medicine fields of the Xie family. Wei Ruo was also planning to use her recently saved 500 taels of silver to purchase grain and coal from other places.

Wei Ruo was in a daze when Wei Mingting appeared in the dining hall wearing casual clothes.

“Father.” Wei Yichen went forward to greet him.

“Um.”

Wei Mingting responded, and then his eyes fell on Wei Jinyi behind Wei Yichen.

“You are willing to go out today.”

“Mm.” Wei Jinyi responded, his voice remained faint as ever.

It seemed that no matter who was standing across from him, he always reacted like this.

“That’s great. You should go out more and not be confined in the yard.” Wei Mingting said in a relieved tone.

Immediately after, Wei Mingting’s gaze fell on Wei Qingwan and Wei Ruo.

“Father.” Wei Qingwan obediently called out.

Wei Ruo’s reaction was slow, because she was thinking about a lot of problems. She realized that Wei Mingting was looking at her, and then followed suit by calling out: “Father.”

“Um.” Wei Mingting responded.

“Let’s all sit down.”

Wei Mingting spoke and everyone took their seats one by one.

Nowadays, here in Xingshan County, there are fewer rules. If it were in Bo Zhongyi’s Mansion in the capital, men and women should have separate tables according to the ages of the children in the family.

The large round table was filled with various dishes.

Tonight’s dishes were particularly sumptuous: home-cooked yellow croaker, wheat shrimp, salt-roasted pork liver, steamed crab, rolled dumplings, tofu balls, boiled chicken……

There was definitely a lot more seafood than usual.

After winning the battle, some fishermen returned from fishing and specially sent seafood to the Colonel’s Mansion to thank Wei Mingting for defeating the Pirates Invaders.

Wei Mingting was happy to see this, not only because he had good food in front of him, but also because it meant that the people in the city could continue to fish for a living, which was great news for Xingshan County, a county that was extremely poor in agriculture.

At this moment, Wei Jinyi asked Xiaobei to bring in a jar.

“What does Jinyi bring?” Wei Mingting asked curiously.
