At the end of April, Yanbei was slightly cooler in the morning and evening, but in the daytime it gradually took the shape of summer, but it was not too hot to be unbearable.
At this time, it was just after the hour, the sun had already risen, and the warm sun was in the sky outside. When Su Shi and Ren Yaoting came in, Ren Yaoting's face was a little red, and there seemed to be some fine sweat in his forehead, but Su Shi was refreshing, with the usual gentle smile on his ordinary face, neither impetuous nor impetuous. .
Seeing Ren Yaoting pick up the tea bowl and take a few sips, the old lady Ren said with a smile, "Ting'er is still so afraid of the heat, summer has not yet come."
Ren Yaoting put down the tea bowl in his hand: "I won't go out when summer arrives, and put two or three ice cauldrons in the room." After she finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue.
The old lady Ren laughed: "It's like your father. When your father was young, he didn't like to go out in summer."
Ren Yaoting spent very little time with his father, and his affection for his father was far less than that for his mother. Hearing that, he just smiled and did not ask any further questions.
Mrs. Ren had already talked to Mrs. Su about the dragon boat race on the Duanyang Festival.
Ren Yaoting whispered to Ren Yaoqi, who was sitting closest to him: "Are you going to Yunyang City with us to watch the dragon boat race this year?"
The Ren family receives invitations to race dragon boats every year, so of course they want to go. In the past, the old lady Ren would bring two or three granddaughters with her when she went to Yunyang City. Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoyin had been there several times, but Ren Yaoqi, an unloved granddaughter, had never had a share.
Ren Yaoqi smiled and replied in a low voice, "Listen to the arrangements of the elders."
Ren Yaoting directly asked the old lady Ren: "Auntie, which sisters are you going to take to the dragon boat race this year?"
Su shi glanced at several juniors present, and softly scolded her daughter: "It's still early, and your aunt and grandmother will naturally care about it."
The old lady Ren didn't seem to mind, and glanced between the three granddaughters present, and said with a smile: "A few years ago, Hua'er and Yin'er both followed me, and I'm used to taking them by my side. , I will still take it this year.”
Finally, the old lady Ren's eyes fell on Ren Yaoqi again, and she said slowly: "Qi'er has not been there in the past few years, so this year, Qi'er will go with her." She did not mention Ren Yaoyu and Ren Yaoying.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned when he heard the words, and then he was a little flattered: "Thank you grandma."
The old lady Ren talked about other things with Su Shi again.
Ren Yaoting felt that it was his credit that Ren Yaoqi was able to go, and secretly winked at Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi gave her a just right smile of gratitude as she wished.
Over there, the old lady Ren was asking about the participation of the Su family and the Han family in hosting this year's dragon boat race. The Su family gave a mediocre answer, and did not mention that the Su family wanted to open a coal kiln together with the Han family.
While Ren Yaoqi whispered with Ren Yaoting and Ren Yaoyin, he paid attention to the conversation between Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Su. Until someone outside reported that the eighth miss Ren Yaoyu was here.
The old lady Ren was talking, she didn't stop when she heard the words, she just waved her hand slightly outside.
After a while, Ren Yaoyu came in and came to greet the old lady Ren.
The old lady Ren and Su Shi just finished their words, and their attitude towards Ren Yaoyu was indifferent. They just nodded and asked her to talk with a few sisters, and they ignored it.
Before the fifth wife, Mrs. Lin, had not fallen out of favor, Mrs. Ren didn't particularly like her granddaughter, Ren Yaoyu. After the last "curse" incident, the old lady Ren became more and more displeased with Ren Yaoyu, until after the incident with Ren Shijia, the status of the Lin family and her daughter plummeted.
Ren Yaoyu was also taciturn in front of the old lady Ren, far less domineering and lively than when she was outside.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaoting whispering there, Ren Yaoyu casually interjected and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Ren Yaoting was in a good mood and did not shy away from saying: "I was telling my fifth sister that when I went to Yunyang City for the Duanyang Festival, I took her to my grandfather's house to watch a set of shadow puppets brought by my cousin from the capital."
When Ren Yaoyu heard the words, she couldn't help but become interested: "Is there a popular shadow puppet show in the capital now? Your cousin brought this? I also want to see it, and the seventh sister will take me there too."
Ren Yaoting perfunctory Ren Yaoyu said: "If you also go to Yunyang City during the Duanyang Festival, talk about it."
Ren Yaoyu frowned when she heard the words, a little inexplicable: "Of course I want to go, I made an appointment with my cousin and the others when I came back last time."
Ren Yaoting glanced at the old lady Ren and said to Ren Yaoting: "This is the decision of the elders, you should ask the uncle first. This year, the third, fourth and fifth sisters will all go, plus a few brothers... The Ren family's pergola is only So big…”
Ren Yaoting didn't mean anything else when he said this, but the old lady Ren didn't mention that she would take Ren Yaoyu with her this year, so she reminded her rarely.
But obviously Ren Yaoyu didn't think so, and immediately became unhappy, and his voice was no longer deliberately lowered: "Seventh sister, what do you mean by this? My mother and I both went there in the past, how could this year be because there is one more of my pergola? I can't squeeze anymore!"
Ren Yaoting was not a good-natured person from the beginning, and the reason why he would return to Ren Yaoyu today was because he was in a good mood. Seeing that Ren Yaoyu was so ignorant, he was angry, and his face became cold: "What are you mad at me for? Auntie didn't say this year. To take you, I just remind you."
When the old lady Ren and Mrs. Su saw that there was a conflict here, they looked over. Mrs. Ren frowned and looked at Ren Yaoyu. When Mrs. Su saw that it was her daughter who was in conflict with Ren Yaoyu, she reprimanded her daughter softly: " Ting'er, why are you so unruly, making noise in the elder's house?"
Ren Yaoting pouted, but he still didn't reply. On the other hand, Ren Yaoyu asked the old lady Ren with some grievance: "Grandma, she said you won't take me to see this year's dragon boat race."
Every year in the past, regardless of whether Ren Yaoyu was favored or not, because of the Lin family and the Lin family, the old lady Ren had never been mean to her. She would bring it with her when she went out to a banquet. The treatment was no different from Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoyin. Therefore, she felt that it was incredible that Mrs. Ren did not take her to take Ren Yaoqi.
The old lady Ren said in a low voice, "I took you every year in the past. This year, you can stay at home with your mother. It doesn't matter if you don't go once."
As soon as Ren Yaoyu heard this, tears of grievance came down immediately: "Grandma..."
The old lady Ren was unmoved and continued to talk to the Su family.
Ren Yaoyu's disdainful look at the previous Yaoting, how could he be so angry, the master stood up from the chair and pushed Ren Yaoting hard with his hand.
Ren Yaoting didn't expect her to shoot, she pushed her sideways and bumped into the corner of the coffee table on the left, causing the tea bowl on the coffee table to make a "crashing" sound, and couldn't help but "ouch".
Ren Yaoqi, who was sitting beside Ren Yaoting, hurriedly supported her.
Ren Yaoyu didn't wait for the old lady above to get angry, she turned around and ran out.
The old lady Ren was also stunned. After reacting, her face turned pale with anger. She pointed at Ren Yaoyu's back and scolded: "You little scumbag! Who is this shrewish attitude you learned from!"
Mrs. Su hurriedly came down to check if her daughter was injured. Fortunately, Ren Yaoting was sitting. After all, Ren Yaoyu's pushing force was limited, but it was not really hurt, so Mrs. Su couldn't help but feel relieved.
The old lady Ren didn't care about Ren Yaoyu, and asked Su Shi how Ren Yaoting was. In turn, Mrs. Su comforted the old lady Ren and said, "It's okay, how strong is it for a child to make trouble? Don't blame Yaoyu."
The old lady Ren felt relieved when she saw that Ren Yaoting was fine, but her face was still unsightly: "It's so unreasonable! All of these people don't take me seriously now!"
Su Shi was busy trying to persuade the old lady Ren not to be angry.
While Ren Yaoqi comforted Ren Yaoting, he looked at the direction of Ren Yaoyu's disappearance thoughtfully.
She has always felt that Ren Yaoyu's recent behavior was a bit strange. Today, Ren Yaoyu's anger at Ronghua Academy made this strange feeling in her heart worse.
Because Ren Yaoyu is not favored by the old lady Ren, she has always been a little afraid of the old lady Ren. No matter how domineering you are outside, she is very obedient when she arrives here, and she never dares to speak loudly.
This kind of thing that happened in public in Ronghua Court would never happen to Ren Yaoyu, but Ren Yaoqi saw it twice. Every time, Ren Yaoyu failed to control her temper and attacked in front of Mrs. Ren.
Ren Yaoyu's temper seems to be getting worse and worse, especially after Aunt Kang entered the mansion.
Originally, Ren Yaoqi thought it was because Ren Yaoyu was stimulated by Aunt Kang's affair and her mother's disfavor, but today she vaguely wondered if there would be anything strange about it.
She once saw records in the Pharmacopoeia that some medicinal herbs can cause mania when mixed together. The specific manifestations are short-tempered and irritable, unable to bear the slightest grievance, uncontrollable and reckless when they attack.
Although Ren Yaoyu's performance is not too serious, but her temperament is very different from her previous temperament.
Ren Yaoqi remembered that when she just woke up after she came back, Aunt Fang secretly changed her medicine in order to make her sickness slow down.
This shows that Aunt Fang herself or someone around her understands pharmacology.
And with Ren Yaoqi's understanding of the other's aunt, in order to avenge the last time Ren Yaoying was teased by Lin's mother and daughter, she may not be able to do such a thing.
Ren Yaoying has not been out for half a year because she fell into the dung heap. Ren Yaoyu will never end better than Ren Yaoying.
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but feel a little cold in his heart.
Every time Aunt Kang saw Ren Yaoyu, her intentional or unintentional provocation was explained. Aunt Kang and Aunt Fang no matter what the alliance is, there must be a tacit understanding between them.
But these are just her guesses and inferences.
If her guess is correct, Ren Yaoyu is nearing the day of "making a big disaster". Because those maddening drugs will make people crazy if they are used for a long time, so there will be traces to follow. Fang Auntie will not take such risks, so she will not really make Ren Yaoyu crazy.
