Dong Sheng's words made Ren Yaoqi's hand stop, and there was a rare surprise on his face. However, she quickly calmed down, and even had a hint of the original sigh.
No wonder it took so long to find out about it, it turned out to be the wrong target.
Presumably, Ren Yaoting was nervous when she saw those tablets, and the light was dim, so she was wrong. The words Qu and Zhai are very similar.
"Tell me about this... the Zhai family." Ren Yaoqi said softly.
Through a curtain, Dongsheng's calm voice came over.
"This Zhai family was considered a big family in Yanzhou decades ago, and they lived in Baihe Town. However, there are not many people with the surname Zhai in Yanzhou. This family also moved from the south many years ago. Although the population is not large. Shangtai is prosperous, but it is very good. I heard that it is a branch of a big family. Unfortunately, the Liao people invaded, and the Zhai family did not have time to leave Yanbei. In the end, the whole family was in trouble, and there were no one in more than 100 people. Live."
When the Liao people plundered wildly in Yanbei, there were not a few people who suffered like the Zhai family.
"Destroyed the clan by the Liao people?" Ren Yaoqi seemed to ask himself.
"Yes, miss, it is recorded in the local annals."
"What is the connection between the Zhai family and the Han family?" Ren Yaoqi asked.
Dongsheng said with some regret: "I don't know how many people encountered the same thing as the Zhai family back then. The local chronicles only briefly mentioned these few words, and there is no more specific."
This is also expected, Ren Yaoqi understands. However, I finally have a goal, and it will be much easier to check in the future.
"But..." Dongsheng seemed to remember something.
Ren Yaoqi knew that Dongsheng was not someone who liked to sell things, so he didn't urge him, just listened to him carefully.
Sure enough, Dongsheng just paused and continued: "There are not many records about the Zhai family in the local chronicles, but it seems that the residence of the Zhai family is not far from the current Ren residence."
Ren Yaoqi's heart moved when he heard the words. The location of the Zhai family recorded in the local chronicles must only be recorded in general. Dongsheng said that it is not far away. Could it be that the house of the Ren family originally belonged to the Zhai family? The Ren family's house was bought from others in her great-grandfather's generation, and it was close to the time when the Zhai family was in trouble.
But since the Zhai family was ruined in the hands of the Liao people, what does this have to do with the Ren family? Although the Ren family always called themselves an aristocratic family, Ren Yaoqi knew it. A few decades ago, the Ren family was just an ordinary family in Yanbei, but the Zhai family was already a prominent local family. What position does the Ren family have to make enemies with the Zhai family
Is it just for that house
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, but couldn't think of a reason for the time being.
But thanks to Dongsheng being so attentive to help her investigate, she sincerely thanked her.
However, Dongsheng said, "Actually, it is thanks to Second Young Master Xiao this time."
Ren Yaoqi was stunned when he heard the words, and Dongsheng asked Xiao Jingxi a question, and Xiao Jingxi mentioned his own affairs.
Ren Yaoqi was speechless after hearing the words.
Dongsheng was a little worried that Ren Yaoqi was blaming her for saying this to Xiao Jingxi at will, and was about to apologize when Ren Yaoqi had already said: "When you see Second Young Master Xiao, remember to thank me. Besides, since you You have already followed him, so naturally there shouldn't be anything behind his back. It's fine if he doesn't ask you, and if you ask, you must not lie."
Dongsheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly responded.
Dongsheng already belonged to Xiao Jingxi, and Ren Yaoqi asked Dongsheng to run errands for her, but he actually borrowed him. Xiao Jingxi didn't care about her because of his generosity, Ren Yaoqi didn't want to know what to do. Therefore, the things she asked Dongsheng to do were not afraid of Xiao Jingxi's knowledge, and she would not find Dongsheng for the embarrassing things.
Ren Yaoqi and Dongsheng were talking on the carriage, and Xiao Jinglin soon returned with two small bowls.
Those were two fine pastel porcelain bowls, but they were not from that stall, and I don't know when Xiao Jinglin took them out.
Apple went up to take the bowl and let Xiao Jinglin get on the carriage.
Ren Yaoqi looked at the bowl of bean curd on the table with some curiosity, with some red, green and green seasonings on it.
She has also eaten bean curd, and it is considered to be a flavorful snack in Kyoto. It is tender and delicious, but all she has eaten is sweet. It's the first time I've seen such a strange bean curd.
Apple took out a silver spoon to Ren Yaoqi, and Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jinglin.
Xiao Jinglin, however, had already picked up the bowl in her hand and blew it while taking a sip, without even asking for a spoon.
Ren Yaoqi recognized the layer of chili oil on it and didn't dare to drink it directly like she did, so he picked a spoonful of it.
There is no doubt that the taste is really good. Even though she doesn't know much about Xiao Jinglin, her appreciation for food is really good.
Xiao Jinglin was sweating profusely, Ren Yaoqi took a spoon and slowly finished eating the contents of the bowl.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi with a rare smile in her eyes.
Ren Yaoqi put down the silver spoon in his hand and nodded: "Well, it's delicious."
The smile in Xiao Jinglin's eyes deepened: "I knew you would like it."
When they were eating in the carriage, the carriage was parked and motionless. Now, when they finished eating, they moved forward slowly.
"How do you know this is delicious?" Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile, she didn't believe that Xiao Jinglin walked around the streets with her mouth and nose in her mouth all day long. Even such hidden places can be found.
Xiao Jinglin didn't want to, but said in a low voice: "People close to me all know that I like to eat, so they will chat with me. The delicious bean curd here was told by one of my soldiers. The old couple who bought the bean curd belonged to him. Neighbor."
I see.
Although Xiao Jinglin is noble as the county lord, most of the people under her command are from ordinary people. This also shows from one side that Xiao Jinglin had a good life in the army, at least no one rejected her.
"The county master, miss, you have arrived at the second door of Yunfu." Dongsheng's hearty voice sounded outside.
The cloud family has arrived.
The two got off the carriage one after another, and then saw a few wives and maids hurriedly greeted them from the door of Ermen, their faces seemed to be smiling like a flower.
"The county master, you are here. Our old lady, looking forward to the stars and the moon, finally got you here."
"Mother Gong." Xiao Jinglin nodded calmly and indifferently to the mama and said hello.
The old woman was used to Xiao Jinglin's attitude, with the same smile on her face, and then she focused her attention on Ren Yaoqi: "Is this Miss Ren's family?"
Ren Yaoqi could see at a glance that this nanny must be used by the old lady of the Yun family or the wife of the Yun family, so she should give a half-ceremony.
But Xiao Jinglin just nodded, if she salutes at this moment, others will think she is deliberately flattering or flattering. So Ren Yaoqi only put a kind and gentle smile on his face and called out, "Mother Gong."
