After making arrangements, Wu Ruo rushed to class immediately.
When he arrived at Wu's house and got off the carriage, he found some strange little bugs on the edge of the corner outside the gate of Wu's south courtyard, but the guards guarding the gate didn't notice anything. But they can't be blamed, because no matter who they are, as long as they don't know much about bugs, they generally don't think these bugs are weird. And the reason why he was able to notice these little bugs so quickly was because he had been wary of Pase early in the morning, as long as a bug crawled past his eyes, he would first observe whether that bug was a Gu or not.
Fortunately, although the atmosphere in the South Courtyard is not very good, the defensive measures are still well done. Under the double protection of magic weapons and formations, insects cannot sneak in for the time being.
Wu Ruo didn't know if Wu Xi was still waiting for him to go to the school together, so she went to the Shu Qingyuan first, and then noticed that today's South University courtyard is a little more popular than the previous few days, because people walking in the alleys of the courtyard There are obviously more servants than the previous few days. It should be that the injuries of those who fought with the Peking University Courtyard have healed, and the South University Courtyard is slowly recovering.
"Xiao Ruo."
Wu Ruo heard the sound and looked up, Wu Qianqing, Guan Tong and Wu Xi walked towards him.
Wu Xi ran in front of him and said worriedly: "Second brother, I have been waiting for you not to come, and thought something happened to you."
Wu Ruo rubbed her forehead hair: "I encountered something this morning, so I was late. If you can't wait for me next time, you can go to school by yourself. Don't delay your study because of me, you know?"
"Um."
Wu Ruo looked at Wu Qianqing and Guan Tong: "Father, mother, where are you going?"
Wu Qianqing was about to speak, but Wu Xi preempted her and said: "The second aunt and the others sent someone to ask us to go to the Xuanwan Courtyard, but they didn't know what was going on. Hmph, they just couldn't stay idle, and the injuries on their bodies were the cause I just ran out to toss again, I really hope they stay in bed for a few more days."
If it was the past, Wu Qianqing would definitely rebuke Wu Xi for saying such outrageous words, but now she just frowned.
"Is it just the people who call us Shuqingyuan?"
"No, people from other courtyards must go as long as they are in the South University courtyard."
Wu Ruo probably guessed what Ruan Lanru was doing.
Guan Tong sighed.
She was most afraid of going to Xuanwan Courtyard. Every time she went there, she would be ridiculed by her mother-in-law. Although she got used to it after hearing a lot, sometimes the words she said were really ugly and hurt people's hearts.
Wu Qianqing took her hand: "I don't care what my mother says later, just pretend you didn't hear, or just perfunctory her a few words."
He knew that every time his mother saw Guan Tong, she would sneer a few words, and her words were very unpleasant. He also quarreled with his mother a few times because of this, but it didn't work. Strangled to death to prevent his mother from speaking, in the future, they will hide as much as they can, and try not to go to Xuanwan Courtyard to find trouble.
Wu Ruo looked at Guan Tong and squinted her eyes.
His grandmother doesn't like his mother. First, she thinks that his mother has no status and is not the daughter of the family, Miss Jin. Second, she thinks that his mother has no spiritual power and no magic skills. Therefore, no matter how filial his mother is to his grandmother, his grandmother doesn't want to see his mother. .
When they came to Xuanwan Courtyard, except for those who went out for missions and training, everyone else had been waiting here for a long time, and Wu Bai and Wu Shi each sat beside their grandmother Mu Xiuwan, making her laugh non-stop. Seeing grandma laughing along with her when she was happy, the atmosphere looked happy.
However, when Mu Xiuwan saw Guan Tong's arrival, she immediately lowered her face and said sarcastically, "I told you to come to Xuanwan Courtyard, and I asked someone to remind you three times, and people who didn't know thought I sent someone It is the ancestors of our Wu family who are invited."
Wu Qianqing simply explained: "We are late because we have something to delay on the road. I am really sorry for keeping everyone waiting for a long time."
Guan Tong, Wu Ruo and the others stepped forward to greet Mu Xiuwan.
Mu Xiuwan originally wanted to ridicule Guan Tong in the past, but after seeing Wu Ruo, her expression froze.
"This is Xiao Ruo?"
She had heard a long time ago that the servants in the courtyard had said that Wu Ruo lost weight, and said that after Wu Ruo lost weight, she was as beautiful as a fairy. At that time, she didn't believe it. I really didn't exaggerate the facts, it was indeed so beautiful that even a woman like her couldn't bear to look away.
Even Ruan Lanru and the others were also attracted by Wu Ruo's appearance. Like Mu Xiuwan, they were all recuperating in the courtyard recently and did not come out to see anyone. They all heard what their children and servants said about Wu Ruo's weight loss. .
Wu Ruo replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Yes, grandma."
In his last life, he didn't like this grandmother. He always put on a serious face to show her majesty. Accusing, only showing a smile in front of the junior you like.
Mu Xiuwan stared at him for a long time, and found that Wu Ruo was like his mother in charge of Tong Tong, and immediately became in a bad mood: "It's true that you look much better than before when you lose weight, but it's useless just to look good. I'd rather you be fat." I don't want you to be as spiritually powerless as a waste."
Everyone immediately covered their mouths and snickered.
Wu Ruo ignored them.
Wu Xi and Guan Tong saw that Mu Xiuwan was an elder, so they didn't go out to refute her.
Wu Qianqing's face darkened: "Mother, if you don't welcome us, we'll just leave."
It's okay that his father didn't like him and his family, even his mother did, and he was about to wonder if he was their child.
Mu Xiuwan was even more unhappy: "What? Is it really okay for me to speak?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wu Ruo's third aunt, Liao Liuyan, hurriedly smoothed things over so that the purpose of coming here would not be able to continue: "Mother, it's getting late, let's talk about business."
When everyone heard this, they quickly put away their mocking smiles.
Mu Xiuwan snorted coldly: "The purpose of asking you to come here this time is to talk about the renovation of the South University Courtyard. Everyone here knows that after the last battle with the Peking University Courtyard, our South University Courtyard suffered heavy losses. Our people are not Dead or injured, the compound was also dilapidated. On weekdays, it is impossible to entertain guests. If this news gets out, it will lose face to our Nan Da Yuan. So, I thought about renovating Nan Da hospital.
Fifth Aunt Dong Mingji immediately said: "However, since we spent a large sum of money to rebuild the Xizha Theater, we have no money left in the South University Courtyard, and it is not enough to use it to renovate the South Courtyard."
Mu Xiuwan said: "I want everyone to spend their own money to build the South Courtyard."
Everyone immediately showed embarrassment.
Wu Ruo curled her lips sarcastically, the important point is coming.
The second aunt Ruan Lanru said: "Mother, for the past year, we have either made utensils or handed out moon silver to our servants. When we were injured a while ago, we didn't know how much money we spent on expensive medicinal materials to heal our wounds. There is no money in the account, and the money is spent like running water, how can there be extra money to build the South Courtyard."
Aunt Sang Dongyi said: "My situation is similar to that of my second sibling."
Her voice was weak, and Wu Ruo couldn't help but take a look at her. Her face was haggard, and there were silver threads on her temples.
Liao Liuyan and Dong Mingji also quickly said that the situation in their hospital was the same.
When Guan Tong heard this, he probably understood the purpose of coming here, and he also agreed that his courtyard was also short of money.
Immediately, everyone looked at Guan Tong and the others.
Dong Mingji sneered: "Sister-in-law, it's really not that I want to talk about your Shu Qingyuan. From the current point of view, you are the richest. You don't need to buy materials for making utensils. Silver doesn't cost much, and when we fought with Peking University some time ago, where were you? Was anyone in your courtyard injured? No?"
Wu Xi retorted: "More than a dozen guards died in our courtyard, how come no one was injured?"
"Xiaoxi, I mean, you masters, which one is injured? And which one wants to spend money to buy expensive medicine to heal the injury?"
"My parents don't have spiritual power, going out is tantamount to death."
"Then you always have spiritual power, right? Why don't you go out to help? Our family's Wu Yun and Wu Bo are younger than you, and they all came out to help me fight people in the Peking University courtyard.
The others nodded again and again: "That's true."
Ushi: "..."
It was a fact, and she couldn't refute it.
Ruan Lanru looked at Wu Qianqing: "Third brother, we can understand that you and the third sibling have no spiritual power and cannot come out to help fight off the people in the Peking University courtyard, and we also understand that you are worried about Xiaoxi's injury and won't let Xiaoxi come to help us, but, After the battle at Peking University, shouldn't it be time for your Shu Qingyuan to contribute a bit?"
Guan Tong said: "Afterwards, our Shuqing Hospital also sent many precious medicinal materials to heal your injuries."
"We admit this, but the little medicine was nothing to our injuries at the time, and we spent a lot of money to buy medicine later on."
Wu Qianqing said with a sullen face: "Second sister-in-law, Fanxiu South Courtyard needs a lot of money, where did I get so much money to repair the South Courtyard? Besides, I have to think about my future, neither my wife nor I have spiritual power. , I can't take the task to earn money, and I will need some money for retirement in the future.
Dong Mingji said: "Third Brother, we are not renovating the entire South University Courtyard, nor are we asking you to buy good materials for decoration, but just let you repair the damaged places. Then it will be more convenient for our South University Courtyard to receive guests."
Wu Qianqing lowered her eyelids and thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, then I'll fix the broken place."
Wu Ruo looked at Wu Qianqing, but didn't make a sound.
Seeing the success of the trick, the others smiled triumphantly.
"Father—" Wu Xi couldn't believe that his father agreed to this matter so easily. The South University courtyard is so big that it would cost a lot of money to repair the broken places.
Ruan Lanru reprimanded: "Xiao Xi, we adults are not in your class to speak. If you really want to say something, then let's talk about what happened after Xiaozhu injured my son that day. I heard from the people present that you He also kicked my son several times. How do you think we will settle this account
Wu Xi glared at her angrily: "Second Aunt, it is Fifth Brother who is at fault for this matter."
