After Ren Yaoqi came out of Shou'an Hall, Hongying, who was waiting outside, greeted him.
After hearing that the princess was left alone by the old princess, Hongying led Ren Yaoqi to the Jiuyang Palace, wondering if she should inform the princess and ask her to pick up the princess.
Hongying is so afraid that the county master will suffer a big loss. Although Xiao Jinglin is usually cold and doesn't like to talk very much, she is not someone who will suffer. Hongying is afraid that the princess of her family can't bear it anymore and will not endure it, and then let the princess suffer. The princess of her family was in a hurry and could go back to Jiajing Pass regardless, but the princess wanted to stay in the palace.
When I went to Shou'an Hall before, I didn't realize it. After coming out, Ren Yaoqi realized that Shou'an Hall was more like a courtyard in the south. There were a lot of flowers and plants for decoration, and there seemed to be some rockeries and rocks in the back of the hall.
After leaving the Shou'an Hall, the buildings that you can see at a glance are more solemn and magnificent. There are thick trees everywhere, and often you can't see the sky and only see the lush branches and leaves.
A person suddenly walked slowly under the green shade in front of him, and the mottled shade of the tree projected on him, almost drowning his body in the shadows, making it difficult to see his appearance, but this person's gestures were different. He can easily attract the attention of others, and it is impossible to ignore him.
There are people in this world who are born luminaries.
Ren Yaoqi recognized the person almost as soon as he saw it. When he walked in, the man's handsome face finally became clear.
Ren Yaoqi closed his eyes and bowed his knees: "Young Master Xiao."
Xiao Jingxi stopped, looked at Ren Yaoqi for a moment, nodded and smiled: "Jinglin is still in Shou'an Hall?"
"The old princess and Mrs. Wu seemed to want to ask the county master something, so I came out first."
Xiao Jingxi was not surprised, he smiled and said, "Oh? Are you asking about Yanbei military affairs?"
Ren Yaoqi subconsciously took a look around when she heard the words, Xiao Jingxi came alone, and only Apple and Hongying were with her, no wonder he asked so directly.
After thinking about it, Ren Yaoqi said, "Ms. Wu mentioned the invasion of party members. It was a family matter and I couldn't be there, so Mrs. Wu let me out."
Xiao Jingxi was thoughtful, and then said casually, "There were a few small battles in the Western Region a few days ago."
Speaking of this, Xiao Jingxi paused, looked at Ren Yaoqi and said with a smile: "My aunt is afraid that she will come back to borrow soldiers. In your opinion, should the Yanbei Palace be appropriate?"
Ren Yaoqi resisted the urge to roll his eyes, the army was almost hidden by you, and obviously you were unwilling to borrow it yourself. You are not ashamed to ask what kind of big-tailed wolf you are pretending to be!
"Second Young Master Xiao is joking, I'm just a weak girl with shallow knowledge, I don't understand this." Ren Yaoqi's expression remained unchanged.
Xiao Jingxi glanced at her with a half-smile but no longer embarrassed her.
"I'm going to bring Jinglin back." Xiao Jingxi took a small step to the side, letting Ren Yaoqi go first.
Ren Yaoqi bowed, but paused when passing by, turned his head and said softly, "Young Master Xiao, I heard that many horse farms in Ningxia have suffered losses this time when the Dangxiang people invaded, I don't know about the Su family. How are the horse farms?"
The surprise in Xiao Jingxi's eyes flashed away when he heard the words, then he smiled slowly, looked at Ren Yaoqi and said, "The Su family is fine."
Ren Yaoqi nodded and hesitated before saying, "I heard that Mrs. Wu and the eldest wife of the Su family have a good relationship." She said this very lightly and slowly, but her tone was firm.
Xiao Jingxi did not speak, but looked at Ren Yaoqi with a special meaning.
Ren Yaoqi looked at him for a moment, Xiao Jingxi's dark and bright eyes seemed to contain some kind of magic, as if he could suck people in.
Ren Yaoqi opened his eyes first, nodded, and walked straight away.
Xiao Jingxi looked at her back with an indistinct look in his eyes. Suddenly he shook his head and laughed, and murmured softly, "How can there be such a thing in this world..."
The last few words were extremely light and dissipated between the lips and tongues.
Ren Yaoqi walked far, far away from Xiao Jingxi's line of sight, and then suddenly stopped, exhaled, and then continued to move forward without turning back.
She had just hinted that Xiao Jingxi's Wu family had colluded with the Su family, and the party's invasion might have something to do with the Su family.
Ren Yaoqi knew that she was taking a risk by doing this, and such a thing was not something she could talk about as a woman. But she must use Xiao Jingxi's power to suppress Zeng Lin, who may enter Ningxia and collude with the Su family in the future.
Xiao Jinglin came back shortly after Ren Yaoqi returned to Jiuyang Palace. Xiao Jinglin did not mention much about Xiao Wei leaving her behind, but she was as serious as usual when practicing the piano.
Because the princess recently asked Xiao Jinglin to learn some common things from the stewards around her, Ren Yaoqi was still too early to leave the Yanbei palace, and declined Xiao Jinglin's proposal to send her out in order to hide from leisure.
After coming out of the Jiuyang Palace, Ren Yaoqi happened to bump into a group of people.
Wu Yiyu and a few maids and old ladies hurriedly turned out of the other road, looking at them and wanting to go to the outer hall. When Ren Yaoqi saw her, he stopped and let her go first.
Wu Yiyu paused as she walked past her, looking at her with a condescending gaze, Ren Yaoqi smiled and bowed his head and stood aside.
Wu Yiyu snorted coldly, and then walked away arrogantly, as if there was an urgent matter and there was no time to embarrass her.
Ren Yaoqi didn't care about her attitude, he deliberately slowed down a little bit, and went out after her when she walked a little further.
When he walked to the place where the carriage was parked, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but stop.
She saw Wu Yiyu not far ahead, and standing with Wu Yiyu were the two brothers of the Yun family, Yun Wenting and Yun Wenfang.
Ren Yaoqi has not seen Yun Wenfang for some days. Yun Wenfang once sent someone to give her something a while ago, but before reporting to her, she was blocked by the guarded Xiangqin, known as Miss. Xiangqin, the first maid in front of us, always kept in mind the purpose of her young lady sending her to the fifth lady, and was very conscientious. Ren Yaoqi also cooperated as if he didn't know anything, and did not ask what Ren Yaoqi was giving.
Ren Yaoqi thought about it for a while, but decided to pretend that he didn't see anyone wanting to get on the carriage, not wanting that Yun Wenfang had noticed her long ago, and said before she got on the carriage: "Miss Ren, please stay. ."
Ren Yaoqi sighed and suddenly missed Xiangqin girl. Xiangqin went to Ren's courtyard to take care of Ren Yaohua.
Yun Wenfang walked over while talking. He had practiced kung fu, so he walked very fast, and Ren Yaoqi couldn't even pretend he didn't hear it.
In the end, I could only let go of the maid's hand and bowed my knees: "I have seen Young Master Yun."
Yun Wenfang looked at her a few times, then curved his lips and smiled, but his tone was a bit cold: "I don't want to stop you, do you want to pretend that you didn't see it?"
Ren Yaoqi lowered his head and said, "Young Master Yun is serious."
Yun Wenfang took two steps forward slowly, one step away from Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaoqi wanted to step back subconsciously, but Yun Wenfang sneered when he saw her movement: "You try to step back!"
Ren Yaoqi weighed the situation and thought about Yun Wenfang's temperament. In the end, he resisted and did not step back, but turned his body sideways, so that he and Yun Wenfang were no longer face-to-face. Others feel ambiguous when they see them.
Yun Wenfang glared at her and snorted softly, "Why don't you accept the painting I gave you?"
Only then did Ren Yaoqi know that Yun Wenfang gave her a painting last time.
"That's the real work of Wu Qinghong that I managed to get people to find. Don't you like his paintings very much?" Yun Wenfang became angry as he spoke.
When did Yun Er Shao deliberately lower his figure to please others? Ren Yaoqi was the first.
Yun Ershao wasn't used to doing this kind of thing, and he didn't bother to do it before. However, when he went out drinking with his brother last time, he heard a few older teenagers at the next table say that women are all to be coaxed. On weekdays, do what you like and send something.
However, Younger Yun Er was still young, so he didn't know much about this kind of thing. He didn't know that the woman the older teenagers were talking about was either his concubine at home or the woman in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion outside.
After Yun Er Shao returned to the house that day, he thought about what to give to Ren Yaoqi to make him like it. Of course, Yun Er Shao disdained gifts such as gold, silver and jewelry. Finally, he remembered that he had listened to the following when he lived in the Yun family. The people said that the third master Ren and the fifth miss Ren asked people to collect paintings by the former painter Wu Qinghong.
Second Young Master Yun asked his eldest brother to find the painting the next day, and finally borrowed the face of his father and brother to buy it from an uncle who died begging Bailai.
But what he didn't expect was that he hurriedly asked someone to send her a painting, and the last person who sent the painting didn't even see Ren Yaoqi's face, and was mocked and mocked by her maid Ming.
Yun Wenfang was so angry that she felt that Ren Yaoqi didn't know what to do. After all, he is a face-saving person. After putting his hot face on his cold butt, he will no longer give anything to Ren Yaoqi, thinking that Ren Yaoqi may ask him to apologize after reflecting on it.
Unfortunately, the ideal is good, but the reality is terrible. He didn't see Ren Yaoqi again, but he heard that Ren Yaoqi ran to Yanbei Wangfu every day, and now Yun Wenfang couldn't sit still.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Yun Wenfang's unpredictable emotions in her eyes, and realized that this young master was not very happy. Ren Yaoqi had a severe headache.
Just as he was about to say something, Yun Wenting and Wu Yiyu came over.
Ren Yaoqi then gave them a chance to greet them and quietly took a step aside.
Yun Wenting smiled and nodded politely, Wu Yiyu changed his usual domineering and domineering style, standing beside Yun Wenting with a gentle, respectful and thrifty appearance, his face also flushed with some shyness.
However, when she saw Ren Yaoqi and Yun Wenfang, Wu Yiyu still took time out of her busy schedule to look back and forth thoughtfully several times, but she did not speak.
When Ren Yaoqi was thinking about how to get out, Apple stood up, lowered his head and said expressionlessly, "Miss, auntie is looking for you in a hurry."
Ren Yaoqi hurriedly followed the pole and said, "There is something urgent at home, so I'll go back first." Then he bowed his knees again, and turned to leave.
He didn't want Yun Wen to move, and he blocked Ren Yaoqi's way. He didn't speak, just looked at her coldly.
Ren Yaoqi frowned, and was also a little angry. He took a deep breath and was about to speak, but a slightly smiling voice sounded behind him: "I heard that Zi Rui and Zi Shu are here, and the princess is waiting. I haven't seen anyone for a long time, so let me come out and take a look, so you are here."
Ren Yaoqi turned his head and saw Ren Yaoqi standing not far behind them.
Seeing her look over, his eyes flickered on her, then he turned his eyes and said to Yun Wenting with a smile, "Princess Princess and Jinglin are both waiting in Jiuyang Palace."
Yun Wenting came forward to greet Xiao Jingxi and said with a smile, "I was about to go in, but I made my aunt wait for a long time. It's me and Zishu."
Xiao Jingxi exchanged a few words with Yun Wenting and asked Yun Wenting to enter the inner hall. Seeing Yun Wenfang standing still in front of Ren Yaoqi, Xiao Jingxi turned his head and smiled slightly: "Zi Shu?"
Yun Wenfang looked at Xiao Jingxi and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yun Wenting: "Zi Shu, didn't you just say you missed the cakes in the princess's kitchen?" Looking at Yun Wenfang's eyes It contained a bit of warning and sternness.
Yun Wenfang pursed his lips, glanced at Ren Yaoqi again, clenched his fists, and finally gave way to catch up with Yun Wenting.
When Wu Yiyu walked to Ren Yaoqi's side, she looked at her several times, with suspicion and scrutiny in her eyes, Ren Yaoqi smiled without changing his face, and nodded politely.
After they all left, Ren Yaoqi helped the maid's hand onto the carriage. As soon as the curtain of the carriage was lowered, the smile on Ren Yaoqi's face gradually faded, and a look of exhaustion appeared between his brows.
******
Ren Yaohua had been raised in the other hospital for a few days, and the injury on her foot was almost healed. Ren Yaoqi and Ren Shijia visited her once before. On this day, Ren Yaoqi went to the other hospital alone to see her while there was nothing to do. In her time, Ren Yaohua was able to walk by herself.
Seeing that Ren Yaohua's walking posture was the same as before, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "I'm still thinking, what if you don't feel well until the Qianjin Banquet."
Ren Yaoqi himself had no idea about the Qianjin Banquet, but he hoped that Ren Yaohua could participate smoothly. Ren Yaohua has reached the age to say kiss, Ren Yaoqi hopes that Ren Yaohua can get rid of the fate of the previous life and find a suitable husband's family.
"The turnip pulled me when I fell, so the injury wasn't serious. Isn't it four or five days before the Qianjin Banquet?" Ren Yaohua said indifferently, and greeted Ren Yaoqi to come in and sit down.
"Did you have your clothes and jewelry ready when you came?" It's rare that the weather is good today, and Ren Yaohua's face looked good, so Ren Yaoqi started a family affair with her.
Ren Yaohua shook his head: "Grandmother is looking for someone to make it, and said that in a few days, our sisters' clothes will be delivered."
Ren Yaoqi has thought too much, and the Ren family also attaches great importance to the girls from the Ren family being able to participate in the Qianjin Banquet this time. As soon as the old lady went back, she started to prepare clothes for her granddaughters.
At this time, a little girl entered the house and reported: "Miss, Miss Fifth, Miss Ninth sent someone to ask if you want to travel with her."
Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yaohua in confusion.
Ren Yaohua sneered and said to Ren Yaoqi, "I haven't seen her so enthusiastic before, but I hurt my foot these days, so she came to invite me to go out." Turning to the maid, "No time, don't go!"
The maid was about to step down when she heard the words, but Ren Yaohua changed her mind when she turned her eyes: "Wait, the weather is good today. Since the ninth sister sincerely invites me, the fifth sister and I will show respect."
Although the maid didn't know why Miss San suddenly changed her attention, but because of Miss San's usual power, she immediately responded when Ren Yaohua's voice fell, and hurriedly went out to answer.
Ren Yaoqi said in surprise, "Third sister, do you really want to go out with them?"
Ren Yaohua glanced at Ren Yaoqi: "Go, why don't you go. Isn't it ruining her mind if you don't go?"
Ren Yaoqi said helplessly: "Third sister, your feet are just right, it's better to take care of them, why fight with her for this moment."
Ren Yaohua glared at Ren Yaoqi: "Who is angry? I've been bored in the other courtyard for so many days, so I can't go out for a walk? It will be difficult to go out after returning to Baihe Town."
Ren Yaoqi originally wanted to persuade her, but after hearing this sentence, he couldn't say it again. After all, Ren Yaohua is still a teenager, so calm and strong on weekdays is just the age to play. In the last life, she was designed to fall out of favor in the Ren family. She was detained in the yard all the year round and rarely had the opportunity to go out.
So Ren Yaoqi stopped persuading him.
Ren Yaohua changed into a short jacket with silver and red two-color gold embroidered butterfly patterns, and matched it with a silver-gray skirt. Ren Yaohua has a bright face and fair complexion, no matter what kind of red she wears, she looks very good. This dress makes people feel bright as soon as they are put on, and they can't take their eyes off.
Ren Yaoqi praised sincerely: "This body suits you very well." Then he couldn't help joking, "No wonder you have to go out, it looks so good, it's a waste not to wear it to compare with others."
Ren Yaohua came over with a cold face, and then took advantage of Ren Yaoqi's unpreparedness to reach out and hit her head hard, then bypassed Ren Yaoqi and walked straight out.
Ren Yaoqi covered his head for a while, and it took a long time to realize that he was beaten again.
Ren Yaohua turned around when she walked to the door and scolded, "What are you still doing, let's go!"
Ren Yaoqi came back to his senses and said angrily, "Sanjie, why are you hitting me again! I want to tell my mother!"
Ren Yaohua glanced at Ren Yaoqi with contempt: "Look at how promising you are." Then he walked away arrogantly without waiting for Ren Yaoqi.
Xiang Qin and Turnip looked back at Ren Yaoqi while covering their mouths happily.
When Ren Yaoying saw Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi coming out, no matter what she thought in her heart, she still smiled when they came up.
"The third sister's feet are finally healed, and now I'm relieved."
Ren Yaohua glanced at her and twitched the corners of his mouth: "Thank you for worrying, don't you want to go on a trip, let's go."
Mrs. Fang was already in the carriage, Fang Shuzhou was waiting beside the carriage, followed by a servant who was leading the horse, looking as if he was going to ride out. Seeing the sisters of the Ren family coming, they came forward to greet them.
Because Ren Yaohua was preparing to come temporarily, she hadn't prepared a carriage for her before, and it seemed that Ren Yaoying was hypocritical to ask for someone else. Fortunately, Mrs. Fang's carriage was very large, so Ren Yaoqi, Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoying got into Mrs. Fang's carriage together.
Seeing the two of them coming up, Mrs. Fang smiled and exchanged a few words with them. Ren Yaoqi observed her words and expressions, but could see that Mrs. Fang was a little absent-minded.
It seems that this trip to Yanbei was not as smooth as Mrs. Fang thought, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but smile.
Ren Yaoqi's guess was correct, Mrs. Fang was indeed not going well recently.
Mrs. Lin San has been unwilling to see her since the last incident. She didn't accept gifts when she gave them. Naturally, Yuan Changshi couldn't get on the line either.
Then there was the Yanbei Palace. She had met Princess Yanbei once before under the introduction of her handkerchief. At that time, Princess Yanbei had also spoken to her and asked her a few questions. She could see that Yanbei was there. The North Princess has a good impression of her.
But since then, she has never had the chance to see the princess again, so she handed the handkerchief to the princess to probe, but nothing came out. Last time, there was news from the palace of Yanbei that the princess might be willing to meet her. Once, I didn't want to wait for most of the day and still didn't see anyone.
As for other high-profile households in Yanbei, she is also affectionate and warm when she comes to visit on weekdays, and she is willing to communicate with the Jiangnan family, but it is not a one-time thing to manage the network. If her husband cannot come to Yanbei in the end, these The affection is slowly fading.
Seeing that the day when she was going to go back was getting closer and closer, Xianggong had already sent letters several times, but she still had no progress here, and Mrs. Fang, as steady as Mrs. Fang, couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Over there, Ren Yaoying was talking to Ren Yaoqi in a low voice: "The fifth sister has been in Yunyang City for some time, right? Have you been to Sun Moon Spring?"
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "I heard about it, but I didn't have a chance to go. I heard that the people of Yunyang City like to go to the nearby Zhuangzi to escape the cold in winter, but it's a pity when we came."
Riyue Spring is a hot spring outside Yunyang City. Many people have built courtyards around Riyue Spring and introduced the spring water from Riyue Spring. It is also warmer in winter.
Ren Yaoying smiled and said, "We are going to Sun Moon Spring today. Mrs. Zhou has a dowry Zhuangzi nearby, so she specially invited her aunt. In fact, it's not only a good place in winter, it's also a good place to play in summer."
Mrs. Zhou was Liu's handkerchief. Mrs. Zhou's husband worked as a secretary in the Yanbei palace. Although he was only a small official with no rank, he was somewhat respectable because he could show his face in the prince's study.
An inch of land near Riyuequan is an inch of gold. Mrs. Zhou's dowry Zhuangzi is not big, and it is already a little far away from Riyuequan, but this Zhuangzi is also a rare honor given to her by her mother's family.
The carriage stopped in front of Zhuangzi, and the old woman was waiting at the door. Seeing Liu and the Ren sisters getting out of the car, they came up and led them in.
