Chapter 8: The Second Young Master Living Next Door_1

Wei Jinyi, the second young master, the most unique person in the family apart from her.

In the original work, this person was not described much, he was like an invisible person in the entire Military Prefecture.

It was only known that, when Wei Mingting was alive, Wei Jinyi lived quite well in the Wei Family, he has everything that a legitimate young master has.

Wei Mingting even allowed him not to dine with the others in the family. He set up a small kitchen in his own yard. Although to some extent it was to prevent his wife Yun to be inconvenient, it also showed his extreme love for Wei Jinyi.

After Wei Mingting was killed in battle, the Wei Family fell to the bottom. Until the male protagonist appeared, it was utterly depressed. It is estimated that Wei Jinyi's life would not be good during that period either.

In the original work, there are no scenes between Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi. One of them is invisible in the family, and the other is a cannon fodder supporting female with ups and downs. The main task of the supporting female is to make the protagonist inconvenient, so naturally there is no need to write about her interaction with other irrelevant supporting characters.

Thinking of this, Wei Ruo had some thoughts in her heart. She got up and returned to the room. While Xiumei was still chatting with the little servant, she went back to the room and brought out a jar that she had brought from Mo Jiazha.

Then she came to the door and said to Wei Jinyi's little servant, "I'm so sorry. I just disturbed my second brother's rest. I'll go and apologize to him now."

"Ah?" The little servant looked at Wei Ruo in surprise, and then waved his hand, "No need, it's not that bad. The second young master just asked me to remind you, Miss. You just need to lower your voice!"

"It's not just an apology. I just returned to the mansion and hadn't seen the second brother yet. It's natural for me, as a sister, to go and see him."

Wei Ruo had made up her mind.

She took the jar and walked out of the door, and the servant couldn't stop her.

The Tingsong Garden where Wei Ruo lives now and the Yingzhu Garden where Wei Jinyi lives are next to each other, separated by a wall.

Wei Ruo walked a few steps out of the gate and arrived at the entrance of the Yingzhu Garden.

Tingsong Garden is fresh and elegant, while Yingzhu Garden is more plain and simple than Tingsong Garden. The place is less decorated and seems cold, even a little shabby.

The only thing that looked good was the small bamboo grove in the yard, luxuriant and lovely.

Next to the bamboo grove is an Octagonal Pavilion. Wei Ruo saw Wei Jinyi, who was sitting in the pavilion reading, at a glance.

He was wearing plain clothes, made of ordinary material. Before Wei Ruo came in, he was quietly reading.

He raised his head at the sound, and his gaze met Wei Ruo's.

Those eyes were overbearingly cold, with a shade of fog between his brows, and his skin was a little too pale for a man.

But his features were extremely handsome, each appearing like a carefully carved artwork.

Wei Ruo couldn't help but marvel at the magnificent creation; a man could be made so good-looking.

After recognizing the visitor, Wei Jinyi's eyebrows frowned and showed strong rejection.

"Xiaobei." Wei Jinyi called over the servant.

"Second Young Master, the miss said she wanted to apologize to you, I...I couldn't stop her..." Xiaobei looked sorry.

Wei Ruo took the initiative and quickly stated her intent, "Don't be upset. I won't bother you too much. I am here to express my apologies. The noise from splitting bamboos today was indeed too loud, I didn't consider well. I'm here to apologize specially."

She then offered the jar she was holding as an apology gift.

This move by Wei Ruo left the master and servant in front of her somewhat dumbfounded.

The second young master was a child of a concubine. His mother was unknown and his mother disliked him. He practically had no presence in the mansion, even the servants would take the opportunity to give him a hard time.

Although Wei Ruo had just been taken back home, she was the legitimate young miss. Why would she be so polite and respectful to the second master? Could it be that she hadn't figured out the situation yet?

"I'm not mad at you, and I don't drink. You can go back." Wei Jinyi only glanced at Wei Ruo, then his cold gaze returned to the book in front of him.

"It's not wine."

"Take it back, whatever it is. I'm not upset, I just asked Xiaobei to give you a reminder. You don't need to prepare an apology gift specially."

"It's soy sauce, not anything valuable. If you don't need me to apologize then consider it a meeting gift from me."

What? Soy sauce?

Wei Ruo saw the question in Wei Jinyi's eyebrows and explained, "I learned to brew this soy sauce from an old woman in the countryside when I was there. The taste is not bad. The most important thing is that some tonics were added during the brewing process. It's good for the body."

She learned to brew soy sauce from the old woman in the countryside? And it's good for the body?

Why does that sound so mystical?

Good brewing methods for soy sauce are family secrets, which will not be easily taught to others.

And the ones with additional medicinal value are even rarer. Most people have never even heard of such things.

Wei Jinyi didn't want to entangle with Wei Ruo any more, so he didn't ask any further.

"Alright, I got it, I'll take your apology gift. You can go back now."

Wei Jinyi just wanted to send Wei Ruo away quickly, so he let Xiaobei take the dark jar from Wei Ruo's hand.

"Ok, good. Remember to use this soy sauce. It's also delicious with seafood."

Taizhou prefecture is by the sea, before the Japanese Pirates caused trouble, there were many fishermen fishing at sea, and a lot of fresh seafood was sold at the docks. Nearby residents could hardly be without seafood.

After speaking, Wei Ruo didn't stay to bother any longer and turned and left.

Xiaobei stood with the jar at a loss, "Young master, what to do with this jar?"

"Just put it anywhere." Wei Jinyi didn't want to waste time on such meaningless things.

Xiaobei saw that his young master's attention was already on the book in his hand, and could do nothing but figure it out himself.

He finally chose to put it in a corner of the small kitchen in the Yingzhu Garden.

As for the act of sending soy sauce, Xiaobei found it very novel.

When other people give gifts, they usually send some elegant items, such as flowers or fragrances, or fine wines, but this young lady is quite unique. She gifted a jar of soy sauce, how rare.

But considering the young miss had been farming in the countryside for the past few years, it was understandable that she was a bit different from the other ladies.
