Ren Yaoqi did not refuse any more and accepted the gift from the Xu family.
The day before the Qianjin Banquet, the eldest wife of the Ren family and the fifth wife of the Ren family came to Yunyang City.
This year, several young ladies of the Ren family received invitations from the Qianjin Banquet, both concubines and concubines. It was the Yun family's gratitude to the Ren family for taking care of Yun Wenfang before.
The old lady Ren didn't come a day earlier for some reason, but the eldest Mrs. Wang was worried that her daughter, Ren Yaoyin, had come earlier, and she also brought the outfits prepared by the Ren family for several girls.
Ren Shijia took Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaoyin to the Ren Family Courtyard. The five young ladies of the Ren family's house have all arrived. Ren Yaoting from the second room didn't come, and the eldest wife ordered someone to send her share to Su's house.
A family of children gathered in the main room of the other courtyard to choose clothes and jewelry. It was very lively. Among them, the fifth wife, Mrs. Lin, was the most active, holding a green jacket with golden pin-and-gold patterns and constantly gesturing at her daughter Ren Yaoyu, with a somewhat dissatisfied look on her face.
"This color doesn't match our Yu'er's face."
Lin shi looked at the clothes in the hands of the other girls, and her eyes lit up when she saw the dignified and pretty hibiscus flowers on the rouge-colored jacket and skirt in Ren Yaoyin's hands.
"Yin'er looks good in her hand. Sister-in-law, why not let Yin'er and Yu'er change clothes? I see that Yin'er's complexion is white, and it looks better if she wears green."
Ren Yaoyin frowned almost imperceptibly, and quickly put it down. She pursed her lips and smiled at Lin Shi, but did not speak, she only glanced at her mother.
The eldest wife, Mrs. Wang, has always been willing to let the fifth wife, but this time, she was not so easy to talk about, and said slowly: "Brother and sister, I remember that you picked Yu'er's clothes by yourself? This grass green and gold clothes. Also, the material for the big red and gold was entrusted to the Jiangnan Weaving Gu family. They said that they were woven in the style of the tribute, and Chier also found two of them. The big red old lady is going. I gave it to Hua'er. The grass-green one was originally for Yin'er. It was my younger brother and sister. You said that Yu'er looked good in green, so you asked me for it. Now that the clothes are ready, you said you don't want it? Their sisters are of different sizes, so even if they change, they won't fit."
The eldest wife is very clear about the importance of the Qianjin Banquet to her daughter. The two precious pieces of cloth were found by the eldest wife, who had specially trusted her eldest daughter to marry the eldest Miss Ren Yaochi, who was married to the Gu family in Jiangnan, in order to make the youngest daughter stand out at the Qianjin Banquet.
Later, the old lady asked Ren Yaohua for the red one, and Ren Yaohua was more suitable for wearing the red than Ren Yaoyin, so Wang gave it readily.
The fifth wife, Mrs. Lin, heard about it from nowhere, and she insisted on giving the grass-green one to Ren Yaoyu. Because Ren Yaochi also brought an embroidered maid with outstanding craftsmanship when delivering the clothes, and Ren Yaoyin didn't like wearing green clothes very much on weekdays, so the eldest wife still gave the material to the fifth wife.
I didn't want the hibiscus embroidered by the embroidered lady to be really lifelike, which made the rouge color material, which was not very bright, become very dignified and rich after being made into a dress, which is very suitable for Ren Yaoyin's temperament.
I don't want the fifth wife to want to change after seeing her now.
No matter how good-natured the eldest wife is, she is a little unhappy now.
The fifth wife also knew that she was wrong, and coughed lightly: "If it doesn't fit, just change it. It's not that we don't know how to sew. I just like that embroiderer."
The eldest lady smiled and said, "The embroiderer is really good. The embroiderer was specially hired by Chi'er, and it took about half a month to embroider this piece. If my brother and sister like it, I'll lend you someone when I go back. "
The fifth wife didn't want to change her clothes after hearing her words, so she said sourly: "Sister Chi is also, why don't you know how many more you can find when you are looking for Xiu Niang? Yin'er is her sister, so Yu'er is not her sister? "
Even the eldest wife has already experienced the fifth wife's harassment over the years, and now she is a little annoyed, and she can't help frowning.
Ren Yaoyin chuckled softly and said softly, "Aunt Wu doesn't know anything. Ordinary embroidered mothers are easy to find, but the elder sister's search is unusual. It was from Jiangnan Weaving House."
Ren Yaoyin's maid Hanlu interjected, "I heard that I have embroidered a dragon robe for today's saint."
When Lin Shi heard the words, his tone became a little sour: "Yo, that's really a noble person. Speaking of which, there are a few girls in our family, that is, Sister Chi is the best to marry. What kind of family is the Jiangnan Gu family? They all deal with the nobles in the palace all the year round, you are lucky, sister-in-law."
The eldest wife didn't want to talk about these things with Lin Shi, she just smiled, and after a few perfunctory words, she whispered to Ren Yaoyin whether the clothes should be changed.
Ren Yaoying, who had not spoken for a while, suddenly said, "I heard that the fifth sister's clothes are ready in the Yun family early in the morning
Ren Yaoyin paused, then smiled slightly: "I don't. Going to Yunfu on weekdays is to chat with Miss Yun about poetry."
Ren Yaoqi waved Sang Ling to put away his two dresses, and said in a low voice, "Not long after the ninth sister came to Yunyang City, the news is very well-informed. I also happened to meet the old lady Yun when I went to Yun's house. The lady and the county master are preparing new clothes, and the county master has given me two pieces, so I can't make excuses."
Lin Shi heard the words and looked at the clothes in Mulberry's hand: "Yo, the Yun family's preparations must be better than our Ren family's, why didn't Sister Qi show us? However, since you have better ones, Then you probably don't need these two, right?"
The more Lin Shi looked, the more tacky the grass green jacket in his hand felt, and he wanted to change his daughter. Ren Yaoqi was given a ginger-colored and a lake-green one, and she wanted to give Ren Yaoyu a try.
Ren Yaoqi was no stranger to Lin's temper of thinking about taking advantage at any time. Hearing this, he smiled with a good temper: "I heard that the clothes are all the materials and styles chosen by the grandmother, the aunt and the sister-in-law personally. Of course, I need it very much. But if the Eighth Younger sister doesn’t have enough clothes, it’s okay for me to lend out one or two. They are all family.”
Hearing the words, Lin Shi showed a smile of "you know your face", and was about to pull Ren Yaoyu over, but Ren Yaohua frowned and reprimanded Ren Yaoqi: "What nonsense! Our Ren family is not a poor family, where is Miss Ren's family? How many clothes are you missing? The eighth younger sister is the jewel in the palm of the fifth aunt, and she is more expensive than you! Wearing your clothes, are you not afraid that others will call her shabby, and call us arrogant?"
Lin Shisheng paused, staring at Ren Yaohua, his face twisted with anger.
Ren Yaoqi sighed, nodded, and said, "I said the wrong thing." Yan closed no more words.
At this time, someone from outside came in and reported that the Yun family had sent someone to ask for an interview.
Everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at Ren Yaoyin. Recently, the Ren family, that is, Ren Yaoyin, has been in frequent contact with the eldest Miss Yun family, but Ren Yaoyin is also unaware.
When the visitor came in, it was indeed Nanzhu, the maid next to Yun Qiuchen.
"But your lady asked you to find me?" Ren Yaoyin asked softly.
Nan Zhu nodded and said with a smile: "Tomorrow will be the banquet of thousands of gold. Our eldest lady and my wife have been busy these few days and have no time to entertain the four girls. Today, the lady remembers something about tomorrow's banquet and wants to explain to you, please. You go to the manor for a chat."
Mrs. Ren was very satisfied when she saw that her daughter and Yun Qiuchen were so friendly.
Ren Yaoyin had mentioned before that this was the first time she had attended the Qianjin Banquet, and she wanted Yun Qiuchen to remind herself of a few rules when she was free. However, Yun Qiuchen has been out of time for the past few days, and he didn't want to come today.
Although he was also happy with Yun Qiuchen's closeness, his face was still generous and gentle, neither humble nor arrogant: "Since you asked me to come over at this time, it must be an important matter. I am choosing the clothes and jewelry that I will wear tomorrow. , Miss Nanzhu, please wait a moment."
Lin's has never been a sensible person, so she interrupted again now: "Miss Yun has only invited one of us, Sister Yin? We Yu'er also admire Miss Yun very much."
Nan Zhu is a girl who has seen the world. He didn't hesitate when she heard the words, and immediately said with a smile: "I thought that Fourth Miss Ren was still in Lin's house, but she rushed over to her. My lady also thought of the girls in the Ren family. This is the first time I have attended the Qianjin Banquet. Since I invited Fourth Miss Ren over, how can I favor one over the other? If the girls don't dislike it, why not come along?"
Mrs. Ren Wu didn't expect that the Yun family had actually invited her with a casual remark, and she couldn't help being elated.
"Yo, that's good. I was planning to take Yu'er to visit. I just thought of Miss Yun's fairy-like appearance, and let my silly daughter feel fairy-like."
When Ren Yaoyin went to Yun's house several times before, Yun Qiuchen also mentioned letting Ren Yaoqi go to play together. I don't know why, Ren Yaoyin is not keen on getting acquainted with Yun Qiuchen, and Ren Yaoqi doesn't want to go to Yun's house at all because of Yun Wenfang. I don't want it to be such a coincidence today. When the Yun family came to invite Yun Qiuchen, they met Mrs. Ren Wu.
Ren Yaoqi was simply helpless.
However, most of the people present wanted to go to the Yun family. After all, tomorrow's banquet was held by the Yun family. At this time, Miss Yun wanted to tell Ren Yaoyin what the rules were, which would be beneficial to tomorrow.
So in the end, Mrs. Ren made the decision, and the girls from the Ren family rode in three carriages and went to the Yun family.
The five young ladies of the Ren family were originally going to say hello to Mrs. Yun first, but unfortunately, Mrs. Su, the aunt of the Yun family, came back to her parents' house today. The mother and daughter of Mrs. Yun rarely closed the door and chatted in the house. Outside the courtyard was guarded not to disturb.
So Yun Qiuchen took everyone to her yard.
