Ren Shijia and his wife and Ren Yaoqi first went to Ren's house together to greet Mr. Ren and Mrs. Ren, and then went to Han's house to offer condolences.
Ren Yaoqi has been away from home for some time. She wants to go back to Ziweiyuan to see her parents soon, but the old lady Ren dragged her and talked for a while. If she didn't have the experience of the previous life, Ren Yaoqi really wanted to Flattered.
The old lady Ren remembered what she said before that she wanted to give Ren Yaoqi jewelry, and asked Madam Gui to go to the inner room to get a small mahogany box with carved flowers and inlaid conch shells. When she opened it, the jewels inside almost caught Ren Yaoqi's eyes.
"I see that you don't have a lot of decent jewelry. Although the few things here are not as delicate and precious as the head and face you got from the princess, they can still be brought out. Take them to match your clothes." Ren The old lady handed the box to Ren Yaoqi and looked at her lovingly.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at it roughly. The pair of Hetian jade beads and red gold inlaid jade collars on the face were very precious. There were also some earrings and bracelets below. Ren Yaoqi didn't take a closer look, but it should not be. Take it out to frighten her to play with.
Ren Yaoqi bowed his head and thanked the old lady Ren, and then withdrew.
After returning to Ziwei Courtyard, Ren Yaoqi went to the main room first. Mrs. Li had already received the news of Ren Yaoqi's return, and sent Que'er to watch at the door. Ren Yaoqi was welcomed in when he walked to the door.
Ren Yaohua was also in the main room, sitting and talking with Mrs. Li on the kang in the east room. When Ren Yaoqi went in, he heard that Ren Yaohua seemed to be talking about the advance banquet.
"Yo, let's see that the second female in our family is back, come over and let me see." Li's mood was obviously very happy, and he laughed and joked when he saw Ren Yaoqi.
Mammy Zhou and Xi'er Que'er all laughed.
Ren Yaoqi smiled and stepped forward to kowtow to Mrs Li, Mrs Li bent down and pulled her up, letting her and Ren Yaohua sit next to her side by side.
She looked at Ren Yaoqi seriously: "Why do you look thinner?"
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "Where can you be thin? When I was in Yunyang City, my aunt's cook was very good for my daughter. My daughter used half a bowl of rice for every meal. If you don't believe me, ask Apple and the others."
Ren Yaohua glanced at her and said to Mrs Li, "The clothes she took last time were a little tight, and if she gets fat again, she won't be able to see her waist."
Ren Yaohua's words were a joke, and Li was amused. Ren Yaoqi didn't take it seriously, and followed them with a smile.
Afterwards, the mother and daughter talked about Mrs. Han's affairs again. Mrs. Li mentioned that Mrs. Han's expression was sullen and regretful. She also went to the Han family to express her condolences yesterday.
"Miss Han is so pitiful, she's skinny and her eyes are swollen like peaches from crying. I heard that since Mrs. Han fell ill, she has been staying by Mrs. Han's side and she is a good and filial child. When you see her, give more guidance."
Although Li heard her mother's letter about the matter of the old man of the Han family, she felt that the child was innocent and should not be involved in the grudges of the ancestors. She is also a mother. Although she no longer portrays Han Yunqian as her son-in-law, she is very sympathetic to Han You, who is going through the pain of losing his mother.
Ren Yaoqi spoke with Mrs. Li for a while, and then asked, "Where is Daddy? It doesn't seem like he's in the study."
The smile on Li's face paused, and then continued to smile: "I'm afraid it's in Fangfei's courtyard of my aunt at the moment."
Ren Yaoqi raised his eyebrows.
Mammy Zhou said: "My aunt asked the master of the Fang family to get two ancient paintings. I heard that they are underground things, so they are somewhat incomplete. Grandpa has helped repair the two ancient paintings in Fangfeiyuan these days."
Ren Yaohua sneered: "I'll do my best."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "Fang Yacun still has the time to do these things?"
Mammy Zhou heard Xianyin and knew Yayi: "Fifth Miss, is that one really sure that you won't come to Yanbei?"
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "The transfer order has been issued, and the next opportunity can only wait until three years later."
Mother Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and said, "Since Master Fang is not available, then Aunt Fang must have found this ancient painting herself, I'm afraid she has put in some effort. I just kept Master Fang on the pretext of repairing the painting. After all, it won't last long, why is she taking so much pains?"
Mammy Zhou didn't believe that a person like Aunt Fang would put so much effort into doing this kind of useless work.
Ren Yaoqi said, "What's the attitude of your grandfather and grandmother?"
Mammy Zhou said: "You also saw when Mrs. Fang's first arrived in Yanbei, the old lady called Aunt Fang to serve her every day, and even took her to Yunyang City, and rewarded her every two days. Once, when my wife greeted her in the morning, her face was a little bad, and the old lady even said that if she felt that she was unable to handle herself, she would ask Aunt Fang to help with some of the three-room things. Fortunately, our wife was just a little warmer the day before. Some, I used some ice, and I had a stomach upset at night, so I didn't sleep well. Otherwise, it would be easy to send God to God!"
Although it happened before, Ren Yaohua was about to get angry, but now he is still angry when he hears it. Instead, Li turned over to comfort Ren Yaohua.
"However, a few days ago, there were rumors from Yunyang City that Mr. Fang was disliked by an adult in the palace for some reason, so he couldn't come to Yanbei to be an official. The Ren family also sent people to Yunyang City to ask about it. After that, the old lady's attitude towards Aunt Fang gradually became less enthusiastic than before. Although she was occasionally asked to serve her, the reward was less, and she did not mention the matter that she should share for our wife. "
Ren Yaoqi listened and nodded, "That's right."
Mrs. Ren's attitude Ren Yaoqi didn't find it strange. If Fang Yacun could come to Yanbei, the Ren family would need to rely on Fang Yacun for many things, so Mrs. Ren would praise an aunt like that. Now that she knew that Fang Yacun couldn't come to Yanbei, the old lady Ren's enthusiasm naturally cooled down.
This is also the reason why Ren Yaoqi spared no effort to calculate and prevent Fang Ya from coming to Yanbei.
However, Auntie Fang has been in the Ren family for many years, and she has a clear understanding of the old lady Ren.
Fang Yacun was defeated in officialdom, but Ren Yaoqi climbed up to the Yanbei Palace.
Aunt Fang, in the gradually changing attitude of Mrs. Ren, had expected that her life would not be so easy in the future, and Fang Yacun had been thinking about coming to Yanbei before, but now something went wrong here. Aunt Fang also has much less place, so her aunt is anxious to save herself now.
Ren Yaoqi was a little curious about what Aunt Fang wanted to do.
So she got up and said, "I haven't seen my father for a long time. I went to Fangfeiyuan to find him, and I also looked at the painting that my aunt found."
Saying that, Ren Yaoqi asked Ren Yaohua with a smile, "Third sister, do you want to go together?"
Ren Yaohua sneered and got up: "Go, I will also open my eyes."
So the two sisters went out of the main room, and Mrs. Li hurriedly instructed behind them: "Don't contradict your aunt in front of your father, and have something to say, especially Hua'er..."
"I know mother." Ren Yaohua said impatiently.
When Ren Yaoqi came out of the Li family, he met the housekeeper Xu Mammy in his room.
Ren Yaoqi went to Yunyang City this time and didn't bring Xu Mammy with her, but she handed over all the rights in her room, including finances, to Xu Mama, and everything in the room was left to her to decide. It can be regarded as trust and reuse, Xu Ma is very satisfied, and strives to do everything perfectly.
"Miss, you're back? My servant wants to discuss something with you." Madam Xu saluted Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua quickly and said with a smile.
Ren Yaoqi nodded and said gently, "During these days, the family is fortunate enough to have a mother. I'm going to Fangfeiyuan. If it's not urgent, just wait for me to come back and talk about it."
Madam Xu hurriedly said: "Yo, it's not the right time for the servant to come. Then you are busy first, the servant just wants to report the trivialities of these days to you. The servant will talk about it when you come back."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and nodded, and left with Ren Yaohua.
Although Aunt Fang lives in Fangfei Courtyard, it is not as big as Ziwei Courtyard, but it is also an independent courtyard. As Auntie Fang, the Ren family treats her with special treatment.
When Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua passed by, they were stopped by the old woman who was the gatekeeper of Fangfeiyuan, saying that they were going to report first.
Ren Yaohua glanced at her condescendingly, and said coldly, "I didn't hear it clearly. Say it again, what's your name?"
The old woman was so frightened that she was sweating, so she almost knelt down on the spot for Ren Yaohua.
There is no girl in the Ren family who is not afraid of Miss Ren San, but Miss San is the most impatient with the people of Fangfeiyuan. Even Chun'er, the maid next to the fourth miss, was ordered by the third miss to sell it off. The old lady didn't even ask a question after she came back. Chun'er was still given by her aunt. After that, I will wait for the next month to pass through the door. The third lady will drive people away even if she is unhappy.
Who dares to offend such a master
The woman looked at the other gatekeeper, not wanting the other gatekeeper to be slick, so she slipped in to report early.
The doorkeeper didn't dare to answer any more, and stood up with her head down honestly.
Ren Yaohua snorted coldly and took Ren Yaoqi in.
Ren Yaoqi snickered on the side: She was right to bring Ren Yaohua here. If she came by herself, she might not even be able to enter the courtyard.
The Fangfei Courtyard was not big. As soon as Ren Yaoqi entered, he saw that the door of the east wing was open, and the old woman who had just sneaked in was rolling, crawling, crying and singing and threw herself on the corridor of the east wing to inform them.
As if they were bandits and robbers who came in to kill, burn, rob and abuse.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but laugh, but Ren Yaohua's face was very ugly.
A gentle and magnetic male voice said displeasedly: "Just talk, what are you screaming! The pen in my hand slipped! Who are you saying?"
Concubine Fang's soft voice also sounded at the right time: "Didn't I explain that the master is repairing the ancient painting, at a critical moment, so people can't be disturbed?"
