On the second day, it was the full moon wine for Ren Shijia's newborn son.
Mr. Ren and Mrs. Ren led all the children and grandchildren of the Ren family to the Lin Mansion, and Mrs. Liu, who came from afar on behalf of the Fang family, took their son with them.
On the carriage, Xiangqin spoke cheerfully about the full moon ceremony that the old lady Ren had prepared for her little grandson: "... a pair of red gold unicorn bracelets, a pair of red gold longevity and wealth locks, a pair of Hetian jade double beast longevity locks, six large There are boxes of clothes, hats, shoes and socks, and a big red envelope. I heard that the old lady originally disliked these things and wanted to prepare more. She was persuaded by the old lady, so the old lady’s red envelope is probably at least this number.” Xiang Qin stretched out her fingers and counted.
Ren Yaohua glanced at her: "Are you busy all day?"
Xiang Qin shrank her neck and leaned towards Ren Yaoqi, with a bit of grievance on her face: "This servant just thought, when we came out, my wife only prepared a collar, a golden abacus, and six more Isn't the one hundred taels of silver a little less? If the other rooms look at the old lady's gesture of loving her grandson and give more, then our third room is not... "
Ren Yaohua hummed softly, "Who do you think is stupid?"
Xiangqin smiled and said, "Of course only slaves are stupid."
Ren Yaohua said casually, "Everyone has negotiated this kind of gift list in advance, and each room is not much different." Ren Yaohua's recent academic affairs with Mother Zhou also included these personal exchanges.
Like the situation of the Lin family's full moon wine, the Ren family members had already discussed it when they left Baihe Town, or the family has a general standard for this kind of human relationship, and every time they encounter this kind of wedding and wedding events. When you follow the routine set at home, you can't go wrong. So Ren Yaohua is not worried that his mother will upset the old lady Ren on this matter.
Xiangqin touched her nose and didn't dare to make a noise. There was a lot of silence in the car immediately.
The full moon wine that the Lin family gave to Lin Cen this time was quite grand. When the Ren family's carriage arrived at the Lin Mansion, they saw that several carriages had already parked at the door. The Ren family's people came early.
The ancestral house of the Lin family is very large. The old man and the men of the Ren family were greeted by the uncle Lin Kun, who was waiting at the door. When the female relatives got off the bus, there were already old women and maids looking forward to waiting in front of the door. on.
Ren Yaoqi and the sisters of the Ren family were ushered into the second door behind the old lady Ren and went directly to Ren Shijia's yard.
Originally, Mrs. Ren also politely said whether she wanted to see Mrs. Lin first, but was told by the Lin family's mother-in-law that Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin had already gone to Mrs. Liu's yard. Mrs. Lin's sixth wife was referring to It's Ren Shijia, if the uncle Lin Kun walks according to the line of Lin's family room, it's line six.
Ren Shijia and Lin Kun's yard is very spacious for the Lin family, and it is also very close to Mrs. Lin's yard, because Lin Kun grew up with Mrs. Lin when he was young.
Sure enough, Mrs. Ren's aunt, Mrs. Lin, was sitting on the Nankang in Ren Shijia's house by the window, holding Xiao Lin Cen to make fun of him. They are all seated next to each other, and the spacious bright room and the small room next door are very lively.
As soon as Mrs. Ren entered the room, Mrs. Lin took the fifth wife, Mrs. Lin, who had come back to her parents' house first, to get up and greet her: "Yo, my in-laws are here, hurry up and take your seat."
Mrs. Lin's warm and unoffensive voice sounded in the room. All of a sudden, everyone in the room who was younger than Mrs. Lin stood up and followed Mrs. Lin to greet them. There was some friction between the wives, but under his mother's constant hints, he stepped forward to salute the old lady, and then obediently held the old lady Ren's hand.
Ren Shijia, who was sitting on the kang, was very happy to see her mother's family coming, and the maid next to her hurriedly stepped forward to put her shoes on. The old lady Lin who was sitting across from her still held the child and didn't let go. She smiled and said to the old lady Ren who came in: "Why did you come at this time? We have been waiting for a long time, brother Zeng, isn't it? ?" The last sentence was about the child who was only full moon in her hand, and her tone was very doting and affectionate.
The Lin family is a big family. There are more than ten female relatives who came up with Mrs. Lin. After Ren Shijia got off the kang, she also stepped forward to support Mrs. Ren's other arm. people are very close.
With the support of Ren Shijia and Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Ren went up and down to salute Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin was Mrs. Ren's aunt, and she was well received by Mrs. Ren. However, she still gave the child in her hand to the nurse, helped the old lady Ren, and said with a smile: "Okay, you are also old, what are you tossing about!"
Ren Yaoqi also followed a few sisters to the ceremony, and Mrs. Lin's eyes swept across their faces, while pulling Mrs. Ren to sit on the kang with a smile and asked, "Look at each of these, they look like Like Shuilioner, who is the fifth girl in your family?"
Old Mrs. Lin was ten years older than Mrs. Ren, but she was well-maintained. Although there were some silver threads on her forehead adorned with emeralds, it still did not make her look old, because her brow bones were relatively small. Tall, with slightly slender eyebrows, she looks a bit dignified, but the way she is smiling now makes her look very amiable.
Ren Yaoqi raised her head when she heard that she was called, and Mrs. Lin's eyes immediately stopped on her face: "Are you the fifth girl?"
Ren Yao was blessed and whispered, "Yes, my great-aunt."
There were a lot of people in the room, and many eyes immediately turned to Ren Yaoqi.
But Mrs. Lin didn't say anything, just praised Ren Yaoqi a few words, and then asked Ren Yaoyin and Ren Yaohua.
On the contrary, a lively girl from the Lin family pulled Ren Yaoyu's sleeve and whispered, "Cousin, is this the fifth sister of your family who has a good personal relationship with the county master and swam the inner city river together on a painting boat?"
Although her voice was not loud, it was not a whisper. Many people present heard it, and several other young ladies from the Lin family also looked at Ren Yaoqi curiously.
Xiao Jinglin didn't have any friends in Yunyang City, and she didn't even have close contacts with the young ladies of her grandmother's family. Because there is really no way to go together.
However, as the only daughter of the king and princess of Yanbei, Xiao Jinglin still attracts a lot of attention in Yanbei, so all the wives and young ladies in Yunyang City have heard about Xiao Jinglin's friendship with the fifth lady of the Ren family. Not to mention the matter of the Duanyang Festival County Master inviting Ren Yaoqi to swim the Inner City River, the battle between the County Master and Wu Yiyu is second, and the inner city river of Yunyang City has basically never been driven by private boats. From this point of view, in Yan Among the aristocratic young ladies in the north, Ren Yaoqi can also be regarded as the first.
Ren Yaoyu returned to her grandmother's house in the past few days, her spirit has improved a lot, and she has regained some liveliness in the past, but she is still a little scared of old lady Ren now. say.
On the other hand, the fifth wife, Mrs. Lin, smiled and said to her nieces and nieces: "The friendship between our fifth girl and the county master is really good. The county master went to Baihe Town to find the fifth girl. Wait for the next time the county master goes. Row the boat and let the fifth girl ask you to go with you too."
The fifth wife suffered a big loss a while ago, but recently, she is enjoying a good life because she is reuniting with the fifth master. She is usually good at saving face, and she likes to show her prestige in front of her mother-in-law's sister-in-law and her sisters. She said this originally to make herself shine in front of her mother's family, and she also thought that this was also to gain face for her mother-in-law's family and not make her mother-in-law unhappy.
I didn't want her to make such a promise so casually that the little girl who had just asked the question came to mind. She stepped forward and took Ren Yaoqi's arm and shook it and asked, "Five cousin, is it true? I haven't been on a painting boat yet."
Ren Yaoqi was very unhappy with the fifth wife's self-talk, but she was not easy to attack, and was about to say a few words to clear the topic, but Lin's mother, Mrs. Lin, took the initiative to stand up to Ren Yaoqi.
She patted the little girl's head lightly, and scolded with a smile: "Your aunt is joking with you, and the painting boat is not your fifth cousin. How can you say that you can treat guests if you want? And the inner city river does not allow boats, listen. It is said that after the last time the county master went back, he was lectured by the princess."
The little girl stuck out her tongue and wrinkled her nose at the fifth wife: "Auntie just likes to tease us." Her innocent and lively appearance made everyone laugh.
Mrs. Lin smiled at Ren Yaoqi, and there was some comfort in her loving smile.
I have to say, compared to Mrs. Lin's shrewdness and good manners, the daughter she gave birth to is really... Ren Yaoqi can only shake his head mentally.
This matter has been exposed, and Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Lin really sat on the kang and had an intimate conversation, and they didn't seem to have any idea of this episode.
One after another, many female relatives of people who were close to the Lin family came. From this time, it could be seen that the yard that the Lin family gave to Ren Shijia was extremely spacious, and so many people would not feel crowded. .
Several young ladies of the Lin family were very enthusiastic about Ren Yaoqi. The girl who said she had never been in a painting boat was particularly curious about the relationship between Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin, but the magnanimous and curious expression of the little girl made people talk Sorry I really hate her. This little girl is Lin Baoling, the young lady from the third room of the Lin family.
In Lin Baoling's generation, there are only four girls in the Lin family, two of whom are still prostitutes. Compared with a dozen men, they are truly prosperous and yin decline. Rare is the most precious thing, so the young lady of the Lin family is more favored than the young master.
Ren Yaoqi and the sisters of the Ren family were accompanying the three young ladies of the Lin family to entertain, and the old woman came in and reported that "the old lady from Baoping Hutong" was here.
This report made the room quiet, and the original laughter and greetings seemed to be suddenly cut off, very strange.
Ren Yaoqi was also taken aback for a moment, she knew that the title "the old lady in Baoping Hutong" actually referred to her grandmother, Concubine Wang Zhengfei. Because of her embarrassing status, the female relatives in Yunyang City called her "the old lady from Baoping Hutong".
