Ren Yaoqi has been practicing the piano with Xiao Jinglin for a few days. Although Xiao Jinglin's talent in this area is not very good, fortunately, she is willing to spend her time when she is serious, and she is dedicated to practicing only one piece of music, so she has made rapid progress. .
On this day, when Ren Yaoqi returned from the Yanbei Palace, he found that Ren Shijia's yard was very lively. It turned out that it was from Baihe Town. When he went to the main room, he saw Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoying sitting with Ren Shijia. When talking on the Nankang, Ren Yaoyin was also sitting beside him.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi coming back, Ren Shijia waved with a smile and said, "Qi'er, come here soon, your third and ninth sisters are here."
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Ren Yaoying, and then at Ren Yaohua.
Ren Yaoying stood up first and hurriedly saluted Ren Yaoqi, with a docile and well-behaved smile on her face: "The fifth sister is back, and my aunt mentioned you to us just now."
Since Ren Yaoying appeared in everyone's sight again, her impetuous temperament has settled down a lot, and her character has become low-key, and she gradually has some shadows of her biological mother, Aunt Fang.
Ren Yaoqi smiled gently, greeted them with their respective salutes, and then said, "Why didn't the third and ninth sisters come today with a letter in advance? If I had known, I would not have gone out."
Ren Yaoying pursed her lips and smiled: "My sister, the fifth sister is too foreign to say that. I heard from my aunt that the fifth and fourth sisters are very popular in Yunyang City. In the future, please take care of me and the third sister."
Does this mean that you want to live in Yunyang City? Ren Yaoqi smiled and said nothing, thinking about asking Ren Yaohua what was going on when no one was there.
After joking again, Ren Shijia instructed the maid to go to the kitchen and explain how to add more dishes in the evening, while saying to Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoying, "If you don't want to live with me, I won't force it, it's just dinner today. I still have to use it here, or I will be unhappy as an aunt."
Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoying were busy responding.
Ren Yaoqi said in surprise, "Don't the third sister and the ninth sister live with your aunt?"
Ren Yaohua glanced at Ren Yaoqi: "My grandmother asked me and my ninth sister to come and accompany my cousin for a few days, so we have to live in another courtyard of Ren's house."
The cousin in Ren Yaohua's mouth is the sister-in-law of Mrs. Fang, who is currently living in the Ren family's courtyard.
On the other hand, Ren Yaoyin said with a smile: "Speaking of Aunt Biao, I happened to meet her when I went to Yun's house that day. At that time Aunt Biao was seeing old Mrs. Yun with a few ladies and came out, because I was a little far away. I didn't have time to say hello. When I wanted to say hello after seeing the old lady of the Yun family, she had already left."
Ren Shijia said: "I heard that Mrs. Fang has two close friends who happened to be married to Yanbei. It must be those friends who are walking around with Mrs. Fang these few days. Master Fang is coming to Yanbei to be an official. These entertainments are indispensable." Ren Shijia also heard that the Liu family was very active in Yunyang City recently.
Ren Yaoying said with a smile: "What my aunt said is exactly. My aunt said that she will come to my aunt's house tomorrow. I want to ask my aunt to accompany her to meet Mrs. Lin San."
Ren Shijia was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Mrs. Lin San, that is, Yuan Ping, the uncle of her third sister-in-law, Yuan Shi, was a long history of the Yanbei Palace. He has won the trust of King Yanbei for many years by his side, and has a lot of real power in his hands. He also has some say in the appointment and dismissal of some minor officials in Yanbei.
These days coincide with the turbulent period of official changes in Yanbei officials, and it is not that there are no flexible people who want to catch the line of the long history of Yanbei Wangfu through the third wife of the Lin family.
However, Mrs. Lin San didn't know what to consider. She was suffering from illness for a while and refused to see outsiders. Even the last time Shijia's son Man Yuejiu, she only showed her face at the beginning.
Ren Yaoying said this, even Ren Shijia, who was usually simple-minded, understood what Mrs. Fang meant. Although she didn't want to owe Changfang's concubine any favors at this time, after all, she had already planned to tear up her face with Changfang for her son. But Mrs. Fang was the daughter-in-law of her own aunt, and even though she was born from a concubine, she was also considered a lover of her parents' family.
What's more, Mrs. Fang came to Yanbei for so long before begging for her. She must have had a closed door with Mrs. Lin San before.
Ren Shijia is kind-hearted, and he can't give a reason to refuse, so he can only smile and answer vaguely: "Cousin-in-law is coming, I'm not welcome here."
Ren Yaoying pursed her lips and smiled, and said a few good words.
Looking at the gap, Ren Yaohua proposed to see Ren Yaoqi's bedroom. Ren Shijia thought that the two sisters, Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi, must have something to say, so she was very understanding and let only the two sisters leave.
Ren Shijia's guess was right, Ren Yaohua did have a lot to say to Ren Yaoqi.
The two went silently all the way to Ren Yaoqi's temporary room, and the first sentence after closing the door, Ren Yaohua said: "Liu's sent someone to take over as Yaoying, I'm afraid that Liu's and Aunt Fang have some plans. So I begged my grandmother to let me come along too. Speaking of which, I was the one who insisted on coming with me this time. Liu Shi met me there and listened to Ren Yaoying to say something, so naturally he was not very enthusiastic about me. "
Ren Yaohua's face was cold, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised were only sarcastic: "But I don't need her to be enthusiastic, and I don't care who she is on now, I am the master of the Ren family."
Ren Yaoqi knew her sister's temper well, sighed, and said warmly, "Do you want to stay with my aunt with me? Aunt has a very good temper, and the yard is also big."
Ren Yaohua shook his head: "I came to Yunyang City to watch over Liu Shi and Ren Yaoying. Naturally, I want to live in another courtyard. With me here, they won't succeed in any conspiracy."
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while: "Fang's cousin has been very active in Yunyang City these days. I think we were right. She really came to play a forward for Fang Yacun. The fourth sister said that she had seen her at the Yun family. , I also met her in the Yanbei Palace. This time I'm coming to Lin's house again, presumably all the dignitaries in Yunyang City have visited her house."
Ren Yaohua couldn't help sneering when he heard the words, and then frowned again: "No, Fang Yacun can't come to Yanbei!"
