The three of them sat in the courtyard for a while, and when it was almost noon, Xiao Jingxi ordered Tong He to go to Baiyun Temple to pick up the fast food he ordered early in the morning.
The vegetarian food in Baiyun Temple is very famous in the whole of Yanbei. Every year, countless pilgrims come here because of the vegetarian food. Ren Yaoqi also ate it when she came back. She likes the vegetarian balls and mushrooms the most. Winter melon soup was discussed with Xiao Jinglin in the letter before.
In the end, when the food came to the table, there were actually two vegetarian dishes that she liked, which must have been mentioned by Xiao Jinglin.
The three of them finished their lunch leisurely and silently, and the atmosphere was harmonious, as if they really came here just to eat a vegetarian meal from Baiyun Temple.
It was not until the last meal was withdrawn and the tea was served that Xiao Jinglin suddenly said, "I'm here to say goodbye to you this time."
Ren Yaoqi was stunned when he heard the words and looked at Xiao Jinglin: "Are you going back to Jiajing Pass?"
Xiao Jinglin was a little surprised. She hadn't said it yet. How did Ren Yaoqi know
Xiao Jinglin didn't know that although she had never mentioned to Ren Yaoqi that she wanted to return to Jiajing Pass, in the recent letters, she had mentioned the movements of the Liao people in the north several times. Seeing that summer is coming to an end and autumn and winter are approaching, the Liao people in the north will bypass Guanshan and enter the customs to plunder the border residents.
In the past few years, because of a big victory in Yanbei, the Liao people needed some training and recuperation, so the border was calm for a while. This year, the Liao people changed to a new king. The new king of Liao was young and energetic. His grandfather recalled the "glorious years" when the Liao people rampaged and looted in Yanbei, so he yearned for this piece of land south of Jiajing Pass.
Seeing that there might be a big battle to be fought, Xiao Jinglin couldn't sit still in the gentle countryside of Yunyang City.
Some people are born to fly for nine days. Xiao Jingxi knew her very well, so he helped her to persuade Princess Yanbei. The princess finally relaxed and agreed to let her go for another two years, but she had to come back after two years, because the two Years later, it's time for Xiao Jinglin to talk about marriage.
No Ren family would be willing to marry a woman who was stationed at the border all the year round and could not even meet her. Princess Yanbei was really worried about her daughter's future.
Xiao Jinglin has a very indifferent view of the love of these children, and it is not that she is indifferent to life, but that she knows what she wants better than anyone else.
Xiao Jinglin saw that Ren Yaoqi was still in a low mood even though he tried his best to cover it up, so she changed the subject and said, "By the way, I heard from my master that Yun Wenfang also arrived at Jiajing Pass. Trace, the Yun family thought he went to Ningxia, and didn't want him to secretly change his name and slipped back. I remember that this kid always bullied you several times before. When I go to Jiajing Pass, I will help you clean him up. !"
Xiao Jinglin attaches great importance to Ren Yaoqi's friend. Strictly speaking, Ren Yaoqi is her first boudoir friend, so Xiao Jinglin said something she would never say in order to comfort Ren Yaoqi. It's not Princess Xiao's personal revenge. style.
Ren Yaoqi was really amused by her, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't have any substantial damage, just let him go his way." Ren Yaoqi knew Xiao Jinglin's temperament well and didn't want to. She went to the public to avenge her personal revenge for her, and she didn't want to have anything to do with Yun Wenfang, not even revenge.
Xiao Jingxi stroked the edge of the tea bowl and said slowly: "You don't have to think about how to take revenge, Yun Wenfang is also very busy now, I'm afraid there is no free time."
Xiao Jinglin suddenly looked at him when she heard the words: "Did you do something?"
Xiao Jingxi smiled and shook his head: "What can I do? It's just that I heard that he was assigned to Min Wenqing, and now he is very busy every day, but Yun Ershao's performance at the border is very impressive. I saw the battle report, and he made a contribution just a month after he arrived at Jiajing Pass."
Xiao Jinglin squinted at Xiao Jingxi, how could Yun Wenfang be assigned to Min Wenqing
Since Yun Wenfang kept his name incognito, he passed by as an ordinary recruit. Min Wenqing did not accept recruits, so the foxes were either elites of the Yanbei Army or people who performed dangerous tasks.
Moreover, Min Wenqing and the Yun family have always been at odds. Min Wenqing has always had no integrity. If he knows Yun Wenfang's identity and doesn't give him a few yin, he will not be named Min. There are so many things in his hands that need to be put to death, and he is afraid that he will not know how Yun Wenfang died. But in the same way, danger and opportunity coexist. As long as Yun Wenfang can survive in the end, he will definitely be reborn. The premise is that this pampered young master can survive it.
Obviously, Yun Wenfang will fall into the hands of Min Wenqing, and someone is secretly making trouble. I just don't know whether Xiao Jingxi's hand is cruel or kind.
Xiao Jinglin glanced at Xiao Jingxi with some contempt, some people just like to play yin.
Xiao Jingxi ignored Xiao Jinglin's dazzling contempt, and began to change the subject: "I heard that Mr. Ren San's two ancient paintings of Jiang Yuanyi were successfully repaired?"
Xiao Jinglin said with an expressionless face, "What did you hear? You are looking for the paint, don't tell me, you even went to Yunyang Academy to see it yesterday."
Seeing Ren Yaoqi look over, Xiao Jingxi's face turned red uncontrollably, and he was very embarrassed. But facing Xiao Jinglin, Xiao Jingxi felt powerless even when he was annoyed.
Every time Xiao Jingxi asked his people to send paint to Ren Yaoqi because he was afraid of causing trouble for Ren Yaoqi, he used Xiao Jinglin's name, and he never took credit. However, when Xiao Jinglin wrote a letter to Ren Yaoqi, she revealed Xiao Jingxi's old bottom. Not only did she tell Ren Yaoqi that everything was found by Xiao Jingxi, she also told her that there were two kinds of paints that were difficult to find. Xiao Jingxi asked someone to buy it.
Therefore, Ren Yaoqi is very grateful to Xiao Jingxi. There are so many big things waiting for Second Young Master Xiao to do, but he is still willing to spend time and effort to help her with these trivial things, which is extremely rare.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't see Xiao Jingxi's embarrassment, so he smiled and said: "I haven't thanked Mr. Xiao yet, some paints are very hard to find, if it wasn't for your help, my father's two paintings would not have been repaired so quickly. I thought at the time, when the painting is repaired, I must show you when I get a chance, after all, your credit is not small."
Xiao Jingxi's complexion had long since recovered, and he was a little annoyed by his gaffe just now. He smiled slightly and regained the demeanor of his exiled son: "The painting is very good, I heard that one of the manuscripts was Did you draw it?"
At that time, Xu Wanli was surprised when he heard that Ren Shimin's daughter also participated in the painting. Although he often heard his wife mention Ren Yaoqi, and even he asked Ren Shimin to go to Yunyang Academy to improve his reputation, it was mostly because of Ren Yao Qi saved his wife's great favor, but he didn't think that Ren Yaoqi was really a good and versatile woman, which reminded him of Ouyang's when he was young.
In addition to Ren Shimin's talent, Xu Wanli was also amazed. The head of the Yunyang Academy now has a very good impression of the Ren family, father and daughter.
Ren Yaoqi nodded and smiled embarrassedly: "I was just joking, my father wouldn't let me touch the paintings, so I secretly typed another one while he was making drafts for one of the paintings. Vice, later my father saw it and said it could be used, so he used it."
Ren Shimin was also amazed at her daughter's rapid improvement in painting skills at that time, but more of it was a surprise. With women like this, Mr. Ren San felt that he was considered a successor.
Xiao Jingxi thinks such Ren Yaoqi is very interesting. It turns out that when she also has a naughty temperament, Xiao Jingxi secretly smiles when she thinks of Ren Yaoqi's stubborn appearance at that time.
Ren Yaoqi was wondering what Xiao Jingxi was laughing at, but Xiao Jingxi coughed lightly: "Have you thought about staying in Yunyang Academy, Mr. Ren San?"
Ren Yaoqi was stunned when he heard the words, and then again: "What does Young Master Xiao mean?"
Xiao Jingxi did not answer immediately, he pondered for a moment and said: "Master Ren San is very talented and aura in painting, especially the fine brushwork landscape, which has formed his own style. I said, it is not impossible for your father to become a master figure in the art world over time."
Ren Yaoqi had heard this sentence in his last life, and Mr. Pei also praised his father's paintings, saying that he had the potential to establish a school. It's a pity that Ren Shimin didn't live to that time in the last life.
Xiao Jingxi was a little puzzled by the sadness in Ren Yaoqi's eyes at this time. What sad words did he just say
Xiao Jingxi thought about it for a while, and then said: "Although Yunyang Academy is only an academy, it is the highest institution in Yanbei, and most of Yanbei's talents come from here." Xiao Jingxi did not conceal that Yunyang Academy was given to Yanbei Wangfu. A place to develop your own talent.
"And Mr. Ren San's accomplishments in calligraphy and painting make him qualified for teaching."
Xiao Jingxi really thought about it carefully for Ren Yaoqi.
He knew the situation of the Ren family very well. Such a family will not last long, and sooner or later there will be a day of decline. And if a woman loses her family's blessing, she will be in a very disadvantageous position.
Xiao Jingxi could see that Ren Yaoqi had a lot of affection for her parents and sister-in-law. If she saw them rise and fall with the Ren family, she would definitely be in pain.
Second Young Master Xiao had long known the reason for planning ahead, although this time it was for a woman who seemed to have nothing to do with him.
So he felt that Ren Shimin might be able to find another way out.
