"Yes, yes, you are wise, Father." Wei Minghong flattered hurriedly.
"What Father said is right." Wei Mingyong also immediately stated.
The elder said with a look of emotion: "It has been proven that the heirs of my Wei family are in the end much more competitive than that merchant's family. After all, merchants are not good enough!"
"Father, you are absolutely right. Merchants' families are despicable. They are full of pettiness and cannot be compared with those from our Earl's Mansion." Wei Minghong said hurriedly.
"Father, I have nothing to do lately, why don't you let me go to Xingshan County to help my third brother? Third brother is busy fighting against Pirates Invaders and may not have time to manage those fields. Our eldest niece is a girl and being female has many inconveniences." Wei Mingyong volunteered.
"Second brother, the two of us really thought of the same thing. That's exactly what I'm thinking." Wei Minghong said.
"Eldest brother, you have official business and it's not convenient for you to leave the capital. Unlike me, I have a common job and can leave at any time. So, you can let this younger brother go." Wei Mingyong said.
"Stop arguing! Neither of you is allowed to go!" The elder stopped both of them and rejected their request.
"Father......" Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong looked at the elder pretentiously.
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to! You want to help because you want to establish a relationship with the Seventh Prince, right? Two fools! If you had such a good relationship with the Seventh Prince, it would have been your turn. Stay at home and don’t interfere in the third family’s affairs!"
"Yes……" Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong could only obediently agree.
The elder looked at his two disappointing sons and said: "You both have to do better. Now that the third family has achieved some results, you can’t hinder them."
Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong lowered their heads, feeling guilty and not daring to answer.
After coming out of the elder's house, the two brothers were walking on the road, each with their own thoughts.
"Eldest brother, although you are the big brother, we may all have to rely on the third brother to live our lives in the future. The third brother has a son who is good at studying, and now he has an eldest daughter who can contribute to the family. He will definitely prosper in the future." Wei Mingyong smiled. There was a strong sense of teasing and fun.
"Second brother, don't worry about me. You should worry more about yourself. I heard that due to the concubine issue, the second sister in law has a huge quarrel with you!"
"Eldest brother, I heard that your family is not peaceful either. Your eldest son seems to be causing a lot of trouble recently."
"Hmph, what's the use of my second brother's sarcasm here? If you dare, you can compare yourself to the third brother's family!"
Wei Minghong was a bit annoyed and flung his sleeves before walking away without looking back.
"I've stepped you on the sore point, right?" Wei Mingyong sneered and walked towards his courtyard with his hands behind his back.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar.
It was also the day Xu Zhengyong officially joined the army.
Wei Ruo once again used the excuse of going to the south of the city to check the progress, and went to Sibaozhai with Xiumei to have dinner with the nanny's family.
The nanny was busy preparing a large table of dishes, almost all of which were Wei Ruo's favorite foods.
At the dinner table, they were chatting and laughing.
In the Wei family, there was a rule of eating without speaking and sleeping without speaking. It was not allowed to speak during meals, but there were not as many rules in the Xu family.
After finishing the dinner, Xiumei pulled Xu Zhengyong aside and handed him a small purse.
"What is this?" Xu Zhengyong asked.
"What Father said is right." Wei Mingyong also immediately stated.
