For the Han family, Ren Yaoqi has mixed feelings. But Mrs. Han, she had met before, was a very gentle and kind person. Ren Shijia and Ren Yaoqi set a departure time for tomorrow before leaving.
In the early morning of the second day, Ren Yaoqi set off back to Baihe Town with Ren Shijia and his wife. Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin had previously made an appointment to meet at Liuting outside Yunyang City, but Ren Yaoqi's carriage had just left the city gate of Yunyang City, and something knocked on the wall of the carriage that was still in motion. Mulberry opened a crack in the car curtain and glanced outside, then said "Huh" quickly: "Miss, it's the county master, the county master is outside."
When Ren Yaoqi heard the words, he lifted the curtain of the car and looked out. Sure enough, he saw Xiao Jinglin and Hongying standing on the face of a large locust tree not far from the city gate. Their clothes were very ordinary.
Ren Yaoqi shouted to stop, and then asked Sang Ling to get out of the car and talk to Ren Shijia who was walking in front. Sangqi came back soon, saying that Ren Shijia was waiting for her at the fork three miles away.
Ren Yaoqi let his carriage leave the line of the Lin family's carriage and drove under the big locust tree where Xiao Jinglin was.
There were many carriages and traders coming and going at the city gate. Xiao Jinglin didn't want to attract attention, so there was no one standing there, so Ren Yaoqi got off the carriage.
"Didn't you say wait in the pavilion in front? When did you come?" Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile.
"It didn't take long." Xiao Jinglin walked over and said.
Ren Yaoqi looked at her, then at Hongying, and said with a deliberate look of disappointment: "Didn't you say that silly girl is coming to say goodbye to me? Why didn't you see it?"
Xiao Jinglin said: "Silly girl is still raised in the villa. I came back yesterday. Xiao Jingxi just returned to the city this morning and will bring silly girl back with her."
Ren Yaoqi was a little embarrassed: "It's too troublesome for the second son." She was really just talking.
Xiao Jinglin looked blankly at the fork in the road leading to the hot spring villa: "Well, I should have expected him to be in trouble. If a silly girl wants to get on his carriage, she will definitely be washed several times by Tong He. Take a shower, I don't know how much hair I'm going to lose. I made an appointment to meet at the gate of the city, and I haven't arrived yet!"
Hongying reminded in a low voice: "County Master, it's still a quarter of an hour before the hour."
Xiao Jinglin looked at Hongying and frowned, "Really?"
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
Fortunately, County Master Xiao's complaint was still useful. At this time, on the road leading to the hot spring villa, several carriages drove out.
Xiao Jinglin took advantage of this time and said to Ren Yaoqi, "My grandmother and aunt were looking for Yun Wenfang everywhere, and they almost surrounded the Yun family, but they haven't found anyone yet."
Ren Yaoqi was not surprised that the Yun family had been operating in Yanbei for so long, and it was not easy to hide someone. However, Xiao Jinglin continued: "Be careful, you must always be with people around you, and you can't be alone even when you're in the Ren family."
Ren Yaoqi was taken aback.
Xiao Jinglin asked Ren Yaoqi, "Did something happen the night before Ren's house?"
Ren Yaoqi then told Xiao Jinglin that Ren Yaoyin's hair was shaved.
Xiao Jinglin was silent for a moment, then said seriously: "I thought Yun Wenfang was useless before, but now it seems that I am biased. He can still be a qualified scout, at least he has the ability to sneak into the enemy's inner courtyard. Maybe even bring back the enemy's head."
Ren Yaoqi wanted to laugh, but held back.
Xiao Jinglin glanced at Xiao Jingxi who was getting off the carriage, and said, "But you don't have to worry too much, there are people watching over Yun Wenfang, and he can't hurt you." The old princess and Xiao Wei couldn't find it. Yun Wenfang doesn't mean that everyone can't find it.
Ren Yaoqi was about to ask something when he saw Xiao Jingxi and the silly girl in his arms.
Ren Yaoqi hurriedly bowed, Xiao Jingxi smiled and nodded.
The silly girl was surprisingly well-behaved in the arms of Second Young Master Xiao, and even the claws on his arms had a cautious feeling. I have to say that the intuition of the beasts is still very sensitive, they can sniff out what people will tolerate. You, no one can provoke you.
Silly girl opened her wet eyes and looked at Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin, and whispered "Ouch", but didn't dare to move.
Xiao Jinglin looked at the silly girl for a while, then frowned and looked at Xiao Jingxi: "What did you do to it?"
Xiao Jingxi was really innocent, he looked down at the silly girl, and flicked his finger on her forehead lightly: "Isn't it quite noisy when Tonghe was bathing her just now? You splashed Tonghe with water."
Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi with a look of "Look, I'm not wrong." Then, under the wet gaze of the silly girl, he took it away.
The silly girl made an "Ouch" and came back to life again, pulling at Xiao Jinglin's sleeves and chewing.
"By the way, did you bring the sword?" Xiao Jinglin threw the silly girl to Hongying in disgust and asked Xiao Jingxi.
Xiao Jingxi nodded, and without waiting for him to speak, Tong He turned around and took a box out of the carriage and presented it to Xiao Jinglin.
Xiao Jinglin handed the box to Apple again, and said to Ren Yaoqi, "Give you the Xueyi sword. You practice the styles I taught you twice a day. I'll teach you something else next time we meet."
Ren Yaoqi nodded.
"It's getting late, I'll send you to meet with the Lin family." Xiao Jinglin paused and said a little dull.
Ren Yaoqi was a little reluctant to part with Xiao Jinglin when she thought about it. However, she could not stay in Yunyang City forever.
Xiao Jinglin got on Ren Yaoqi's carriage, and Xiao Jingxi's carriage followed behind their carriage.
Along the way, Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin said some personal words, but the road was not long, and soon they saw the carriage of the Lin family parked by the fork in front.
Ren Yaoqi's horse slowly stopped.
At this time, Ren Shijia's voice came from outside the car: "Qi'er?"
Ren Yaoqi opened the curtain and saw Ren Shijia hugging Cen Ge'er and Lin Kun coming out of a side road. They didn't take the maid by their side. Ren Shijia walked in front with her son in her arms. Lin Kun Behind her, she opened her arms slightly and hugged them carefully. This picture looked extremely harmonious and warm.
Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin got off the carriage, Ren Shijia and Lin Kun hurriedly saluted Xiao Jinglin, and when Xiao Jingxi got out of the carriage behind, Lin Kun was stunned for a moment, and then immediately saluted: "Cao Min Lin Kun has seen Second Young Master Xiao."
Although Xiao Jingxi rarely appeared in front of people, Lin Kun had seen him once so he recognized him. After all, the appearance of Second Young Master Xiao was hard to forget after seeing him.
Xiao Jingxi smiled lightly, and his gestures were graceful and natural: "Lin Liuye is going to pay condolences to the Han family in Baihe Town?"
Lin Kun was a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "Caomin can't be a son, just call me Lin Liu. The Han family has some business dealings with the Lin family, and my wife also had some dealings with the newly mourned Mrs. Han. We The couple went to Baihe Town this time to offer condolences, and to send their niece back to Ren's house to visit Kusama's father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Xiao Jingxi nodded, looked at Xiao Jinglin again, and said warmly: "If you say goodbye, say it quickly, don't make people wait for a long time." She looked like she was escorting her sister out to meet friends.
Xiao Jinglin rolled her eyes in her heart.
Lin Kun was busy saying that it was still early, and he summoned the old woman from a distance to let them move the table and stool from the carriage and set it up under the tree, and carefully invited Xiao Jingxi to sit.
Xiao Jingxi really went over and sat down to save face.
Ren Shijia hugged Zenger, who was already asleep, and returned to the carriage.
Ren Yaoqi was talking to Xiao Jinglin and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jingxi and Lin Kun. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, Xiao Jingxi's attitude was still very good.
When Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin finished talking, Xiao Jingxi also stood up and walked over, while Lin Kun returned to the carriage and didn't follow him.
"It's time to go?" Xiao Jingxi looked at them and smiled.
Xiao Jinglin asked what Ren Yaoqi wanted to know: "What were you talking about just now?"
Xiao Jingxi smiled and said, "It's just small talk."
After thinking about it, he turned his head slightly and looked at Ren Yaoqi, "Your uncle is not easy."
Ren Yaoqi was a little curious and couldn't help but ask, "Oh? What does 'not simple' mean?"
Xiao Jingxi just mentioned something casually, but did not expect Ren Yaoqi to ask questions, but the smile in his eyes deepened: "There is a kind of person in this world, as long as he is willing to give him a chance, he can fulfill his own ambitions by himself. But things like ambition are not all bad, it depends on what you think."
Ren Yaoqi tilted his head and thought for a while, then smiled: "I just want to know how much a person's ambition can make him willing to sacrifice to fulfill himself. For the superior and himself, his ambition is not a bad thing, right Those who are close may not be." Because they may be the first to be sacrificed, but Ren Yaoqi did not say this.
Hearing this, Xiao Jingxi couldn't help being thoughtful, then chuckled: "When you say that, I am reminded of an interesting incident that happened in Shunzhou a few years ago."
"Oh?"
"There was a man in Shunzhou who inherited a small southern goods shop from his parents, and he lived peacefully when he married a wife and had children. Later, he and others re-sold silk from Jiangnan, and bought fur from Kanto at a low price and sold it to Jiangnan, so he made a fortune. ."
"Afterwards, did this man become an unscrupulous person after he had money, and divorced his wife and married another high-ranking family?" Xiao Jinglin interjected once.
Xiao Jingxi looked at Xiao Jinglin in surprise.
Xiao Jinglin snorted softly: "I watched a few plays with my mother before, and the text said so." She looked at Xiao Jingxi with disgust, "I didn't expect you to have the same hobbies as those women."
Xiao Jingxi's expression remained unchanged, and continued to talk to Ren Yaoqi: "This man has no chance to divorce his wife and marry another. His wife first helped them after learning that he was going to give her to others as a concubine for a big business. His opponent dealt with his own shop, and in the end the man was killed."
Xiao Jinglin nodded and sighed, "How bold!"
Xiao Jingxi laughed, but said to Ren Yaoqi: "So instead of worrying about what will be sacrificed, it is better to control the ambitions of others in your own hands."
