After Ren Yaoqi returned to the city, she asked Ren Shijia's steward to help her find some good herbs and tonics, and planned to send them to Lei Pan'er in the name of herself and Ren Yaohua.
Lei Pan'er was still a child, and she didn't need those nourishing herbs, it was just a matter of etiquette. Ren Yaoqi then borrowed the cook from Ren Shijia's small kitchen and asked her to make a few desserts, and specially explained that they should be made better.
Ren Shijia likes to use dim sum on weekdays. After Mrs. Wen left, Lin Kun asked someone to find a cook from Jiangnan who was good at making all kinds of dim sum.
In the end, Ren Yaoqi asked the maid, Sang Chuan, to visit Lei Paner for her and Ren Yaohua in another courtyard of Lei's house with medicinal herbs, two zizi snacks and two jars of candied fruit.
After Sangqi came back from her visit, she told Ren Yaoqi that Lei Paner had woken up and her body was fine. She herself didn't know how she fell into the well, but she only remembered that she was chasing a flightless bird. Mynah, and then I don't know anything. Fortunately, after she woke up again, she was already in her bed, so she was not frightened.
I heard that Sangling was sent to see her by the two sisters of the Ren family, and even let Sangling enter the room to talk. I was very happy to see the snacks and candied fruit that Mulberry brought over, and said that he would come to visit the two sisters when he was healed.
Ren Yaoqi felt happy when he heard that Lei Pan'er was still lively, agile and quirky.
"How about that maid named Yuegui?" Ren Yaoqi thought about it and asked.
"The slave did not see Yuegui, so she asked the nurse when she came out. The nurse only said that Yuegui was sent back to Yunyang City by the housekeeper, and she didn't know anything else." Mulberry replied.
Ren Yaoqi thought that although Lei Ting was young and didn't care about the inner court, he was not a stupid person. What happened to Lei Pan'er this time should make him alert to his daughter's situation.
On the second day, Ren Yaohua sent Xiangqin over, saying that the steward of the Lei family had sent some valuable rulers, bird's nest old ginseng and other items to the other courtyard early in the morning as gifts. The return gift from the Lei family is much more valuable than the gift from Ren Yaoqi.
Because Ren Yaoqi lived in the Lin family, the Lei family sent things to the Ren family's other courtyard. Ren Yaohua asked Xiangqin to send everything to Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi asked the maid to pick out some rulers and bird's nests to send to Ren Shijia, and let Xiangqin collect the rest.
There are still three days before the Qianjin Banquet, and many noble ladies from other prefectures and counties have come to Yanzhou in Yunyang City.
Xiao Jinglin sent a letter saying that the princess wanted her to play the piano in front of the guests tomorrow and check the results of her piano practice these days, so someone would come to pick her up early the next morning to take her to the Yanbei Palace.
When Ren Yaoqi received the letter, he was thinking of replying to make fun of Xiao County Master's stage fright, but he was stunned when he saw the name of the guest invited by Princess Yanbei.
The wife of Xu Wanli, the head of Yunyang Academy, Ouyang.
Yunyang Academy is the highest institution in Yanbei, and its dean Xu Wanli holds a very high status in the minds of Yanbei scholars, and is the leader of Qingliu.
Xu Wanli was born in the direct branch of the Xu family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Xu family and the Pei family are the leaders of the official family in the south of the Yangtze River. Someone once counted with their fingers that in the past three hundred years, the Pei family has been the first, and the Xu family has been second.
The roots of the Xu family are in the south of the Yangtze River, but this Xu Shanchang refused to become an official in the dynasty after becoming the champion in the thirty-five years of Qinglong, the first emperor, and began to travel around. In the end, Xu Wanli came to Yanbei, and somehow he became the leader of Yanbei Yunyang Academy.
Yanbei has a delicate relationship with the court, and many of the Xu family's children are officials in the court. Xu Yuan, the chief assistant of the current cabinet, is Xu Wanli's cousin. After Xu Wanli came to Yanbei, he never returned to Jiangnan. The Xu family's attitude towards Xu Wanli was also very indifferent, and they did not mention the Xu family's son-in-law, who enjoyed a high reputation in Yanbei.
Ren Yaoqi knew that not long after Xu Wanli became the headmaster of Yunyang Academy, the Xu family had already removed Xu Wanli from the family tree, but neither the Xu family nor Xu Wanli made it public. There are all kinds of speculations about the relationship between Xu Wanli and the Xu family, but very few people know the truth.
Ren Yaoqi also knew that the reason why Xu Wanli left Jiangnan and came to Yanbei was for his wife Ouyang. This Ouyang family is a remarried woman. She was originally the wife of Xu Wanli's brother and sister-in-law of Xu Wanli.
Ouyang's husband died shortly after marrying into the Xu family. Originally, in a prestigious family like the Xu family, Ouyang's family could not marry again, but she ended up marrying her brother-in-law.
The Xu family in the south of the Yangtze River could not tolerate such unfilial descendants as Xu Wanli, so Xu Wanli could only bring the Ouyang family to Yanbei. Compared with Jiangnan, Yanbei is much more tolerant of etiquette. In addition, after Xu Wanli came to Yanbei, he was appreciated by Xiao Qishan, the king of Yanbei at that time. In addition, Xu Wanli himself was talented and had a high academic quality. Gained a firm foothold among the Yanbei students.
The reason why Ren Yaoqi knew about the secret of the Xu family was because Xu Wanli and her husband Pei Zhiyan were brother-in-law. Mr. Pei's wife, also surnamed Ouyang, is the youngest sister of the Ouyang family.
The relationship between Xu Wanli and the Xu family is not very good, but he is very close to his wife and brother-in-law Pei Zhiyan. The two have been good friends for many years, and they are good friends.
On the second day, Xiao Jinglin sent someone to take over Yao Qi to the Yanbei Palace very early.
When Ren Yaoqi went, Xiao Jinglin was still practicing marksmanship in her yard.
She stood under the eaves and watched for a while, and when Xiao Jinglin received her power, Ren Yaoqi walked over and jokingly said, "Is the county master nervous?"
Xiao Jinglin said seriously: "How come?"
Ren Yaoqi blinked, leaned over and whispered, "It's easy for the princess to lie to others, but it's hard to lie to me. I know a secret of the princess."
Xiao Jinglin glanced at her: "What secret?"
"When the county master is nervous, he likes to play sticks."
Xiao Jinglin was silent for a while: "This is a gun, not a stick!"
Ren Yaoqi smiled: "The county master knows that I can't use martial arts, so naturally I can't tell the difference between a stick and a gun. Please don't remember the villain."
Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi for a while, then suddenly said, "How about I teach you martial arts?"
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I don't want it anymore, I'm not a martial artist."
After hearing this, Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi critically, and even turned around her a few times, and then said slowly, "Although I don't have the qualifications, it's not that I can't learn."
