There is also a soft couch in the room, although it looks spacious, but it is usually used by the maids at night. How can Ren Yaoqi let Xiao Jinglin sleep? He quickly said, "Let's live together."
Xiao Jinglin naturally wouldn't let Ren Yaoqi sleep on the couch, so Ren Yaoqi was also very practical. Xiao Jinglin is not a hypocritical person, so the matter is settled.
Apple was working with Hongying and several maids to check the bed carefully. The princess' eldest maid, Sujin, came over and said that the princess asked the princess to explain something in the past.
After Xiao Jinglin went to see the princess, Ren Yaoqi thought about it and then called Sang Ling over, and asked her to see if anyone from the Ren family was here and where they were arranged, and asked her to tell the eldest wife that she was on the side of the county master. placed. She only brought apples and mulberries into the carriage before, and the rest of the maids got into another carriage. Now the eldest wife can only arrange for those people.
After Sangling came back from a trip, she told Mrs. Ren Yaoqi that she had brought several young ladies from the Ren family over, and was placed in an outside guest room, which was a little far from here. The old lady Ren also came to Yunyang City, but instead of coming to Hot Spring Villa, she lived in another courtyard of Yunyang City. The eldest wife also said to let Ren Yaoqi act carefully here, and send someone to let her know if there is any need.
Shortly after Mulberry came back, Xiao Jinglin also came back. There was nothing to see on the face, but Ren Yaoqi felt that Xiao Jinglin was probably taken over by the princess for a lesson because of the conflict with Xiao Wei before. Xiao Jinglin didn't say it, and Ren Yaoqi didn't ask.
There are many people who come to the Qianjin Banquet. Yanzhou has less conditions for participating because of its geographical advantage. The invitations from other prefectures are not as many as those issued by Yanzhou, so all the people who come here are real famous daughters. ,Ladylike. Rao is so, there are also a hundred or two hundred girls.
There are also many famous sons, but they will not live in the hot spring villa of Yanbei Wangfu. Fortunately, there are quite a few Zhuangzi near Riyuequan, and most of them are in the names of these noble families, and they are also full these days. Several sons of the Ren family are said to have also come, but the Ren family has no Zhuangzi nearby, so they borrowed to live in the Qiu family's Zhuangzi.
The Yun family was already very familiar with arranging this kind of banquet, so before noon, all the people from the family had already been arranged.
Because the Qianjin Banquet is a blind date banquet in disguised form, the first day of the banquet is for those families who have a sense of marriage to explore the bottom of each other's communication, and the daughters of each family come out to get acquainted with each other. On the second and third days, the young ladies competed and won a good reputation. It is said that the daughters who have been able to stand out at the daughter-in-law banquet over the years can find them for the good husband's family.
One after another, people came to see the princess, and the princess picked up some important people to meet. Xiao Jinglin was impatient to go back and forth with the ladies and ladies, and hid under a linden tree with Ren Yaoqi to read a book in the courtyard.
The two also ate lunch in the courtyard. The princess brought the cook from the palace, but Xiao Jinglin disliked the princess's cook's taste for cooking too bland, and she didn't know when she ordered people to go out. When eating, Hongying brought two large food boxes to eat. In addition to the specialties of several large restaurants in Yunyang City, there are even snacks such as duck blood soup, lotus root starch balls, and pot stickers.
The variety of varieties makes Ren Yaoqi simply amazed.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi's stunned look, Xiao Jinglin was very proud, but she said flatly: "You come to me as a guest, and I always want to find a way to make you delicious and spicy. The cook that my mother uses now makes it. The dish, in the words of my master, is a bird that fades out of the mouth after eating it.”
Ren Yaoqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but still whispered: "County Lord, don't let people hear you." Let the princess know that not only Xiao Jinglin will suffer, but also her master.
Xiao Jinglin blinked, with a bit of cunning: "Don't worry, you can see that I have been caught before?"
Xiao Jinglin grew up in the border gate, surrounded by rough-skinned men, and she heard a lot of laughter and scolding between them, which was very different from ordinary ladies. So before, in order to teach Xiao Wei a lesson, she even dared to joke about her father and grandmother. It's just that Xiao Jinglin is also very clear about what she can do and what she can't do as the county owner of the Yanbei Palace.
After the two quietly finished a hearty lunch, they still sat on the bamboo couch under the linden tree, drinking tea and reading. Even if no one spoke, they didn't feel bored, they just felt peaceful and comfortable.
Ren Yaoqi originally thought that it would be good to live a clean day like this, but unfortunately, the sky did not follow people's wishes. In the afternoon, Yun Qiuchen came over. Along with Yun Qiuchen, besides Yun Qiuping and Yun Qiufang, there was also Ren Yao. sound.
"I just said why the two of you didn't show up. It turned out to be hiding here." Yun Qiuchen looked at them and said with a genuine smile.
Xiao Jinglin waved her hands to let the people who saluted her stand up. She didn't argue when she heard the words, she just smiled slightly: "Cousin is here to see my mother?"
Putting aside the marriage between the Yun family and the Yanbei palace, the princess has always loved Yun Qiuchen, her niece, and Yun Qiuchen would go to the palace from time to time to greet her. The last time I went to Yun's house, Ren Yaoqi heard Xiao Jinglin call Mrs. Yun's uncle and grandmother, but it was actually from her grandmother's generation, Mrs. Yun Tai,
Ren Yaoqi also learned later that although Princess Yanbei was the daughter of Mrs. Yun's elder brother, she grew up with Mrs. Yun since childhood. Mrs. Yun raised her with her daughter and raised her together. Before getting married, the princess and Mrs. Yun were in love with their mother and daughter.
Yun Qiuchen smiled and said: "We are here to greet the princess. After Yaoyin said that she didn't see her fifth sister, I asked her to come with me. The princess asked us to come and ask you to go out together, don't be bored here. Now. Princess, do you want to go with us to the Sunrise Spring? There are quite a few girls there."
Yun Qiufang also said: "Yes, county master, come with us? You didn't spend much time in Yunyang City, and many people still don't recognize you."
Xiao Jinglin really didn't want to go out, and she disliked these people for being noisy and troublesome. However, Yun Qiuchen said that the princess asked them to come and call her, and she couldn't refuse.
After thinking about it, he looked at Ren Yaoqi: "Are you going out for a walk?" There was helplessness in his eyes.
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "It's okay to walk."
The Yun family sisters were happy when they heard the words, presumably when they came, the princess told them to find a way to take Xiao Jinglin out.
The group left Lanyue Pavilion, the main courtyard was relatively clean with only the people living in the palace, but Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin felt the excitement of the courtyard as soon as they left the main courtyard.
In twos and threes or in groups of girls, the air in the villa is filled with a lingering fragrance, and some soft words can be faintly heard in the ears, but it does not appear too noisy and chaotic.
Ren Yaoyin said to Ren Yaoqi, "The third sister and the others seem to have come out too. They should be over at Sun Yaoquan now."
Ren Yaoqi looked around and heard that most of the people should be gathered in the southeast area, presumably the legendary Sunshine Spring is near there.
Sure enough, Yun Qiuchen then took them to the southeast.
Along the way, I also met some ladies, some of them knew Yun Qiuchen and came up to say hello. On the other hand, Xiao Jinglin kept silent all the way, and no one else had ever seen her, so no one came to disturb her. Yun Qiuchen should know Xiao Jinglin's temperament, so she could not be introduced.
The closer it gets to Sunrise Spring, the more people there are. Sunyao Spring is a large hot spring, surrounded by a lot of exotic flowers and plants, it is said that it is undefeated in all seasons. The surrounding of the spring is surrounded by red lacquered wooden fences, and the steaming water vapor can be seen from a distance, but although it is already summer, it does not make people feel sultry here, only makes people feel warm wind blowing, Very soft and soft, very strange.
There are many stone tables and chairs outside the fence, and the ladies are sitting or standing, each with their own circle. Xiao Jinglin's group of people still attracted the attention of many people, even though the eyes of these ladies looking at people are still subtle. There are also more eyes on Xiao Jinglin. Although there are not many people who have seen County Master Xiao, her outstanding appearance and the kind of aura she unconsciously brings when she is in the crowd make some people stay away from strangers. The discerning person guessed a few points.
Not far away, a beautiful girl in a pink dress was leaning on the fence talking to several girls of the same age. Her clear and melodious voice like a silver bell attracted the attention of many people. When he saw this, his eyes stopped, and then he immediately greeted him, and said in surprise: "Sister Qiuchen, you are here, we are all waiting for you, if you don't come, I will go to find you."
Yun Qiuchen smiled when she saw her: "I don't know what sister Guo's sister is looking for from me?"
Miss Guo pouted and said coquettishly, "Didn't Sister Qiuchen say she would take us around? She also said that she would take us to see the peacock that the princess raised here. Did Sister Qiuchen forget? No! Sister Jiang also heard it, so you can't be rude. Sister Jiang, come here!"
As Miss Guo said, she turned around and waved back. Among the few people who had been standing with her before, a girl in a goose yellow dress hesitated for a moment, then walked out slowly, nodded and smiled. , and then was pulled over by Miss Guo.
Yun Qiuchen introduced to Xiao Jinglin with a smile: "This is the eldest miss of the Guo family in Weizhou, and this is the eighth miss of the Jiang family in Shunzhou. They went to greet my grandmother before, and my grandmother liked them very much, so she ordered me to bring them with you. They were looking around the villa."
Miss Guo was a little surprised when Yun Qiuchen deliberately introduced them to the girl next to her, but didn't immediately reveal the girl's identity.
According to the rules, when introducing strangers to each other, first introduce the low-status one to the high-status one, and then introduce the high-status one to the low-status one.
