Scheme of the Official Descendant

Chapter 28: Eavesdropping

Views:

Li's illness has completely recovered, but he still doesn't like to go out. In addition to greeting the elders of Ronghuayuan every day, he basically stayed at home.

On this day, both Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua were doing needlework with Li and Zhou Ma in Li's main room.

The juniors of the Ren family, the boys all followed the Xixi invited to the house to study in the outer courtyard. Girls follow their mothers to read and write. Fortunately, the female relatives of Ren's family are not low-born, and they can write and draw.

Or like Ren Yaoqi, there are fathers and brothers willing to teach. Generally, such women are not particularly favored or indeed have some talent.

As for other things such as needles, talents, etc., the Ren family also specially invited the embroidered mother and the lady to the house. It's just that classes usually start at the beginning of the spring, and the classes are dismissed around the Mid-Autumn Festival. On weekdays, everyone is not forced to go to class. It all depends on personal preference. No one will be held accountable for those who fish for three days and dry the net for two days.

As for why the Ren family did not pay attention to women's education, why they would spend money to hire a female husband, it can only be said that this was popular among the big families at that time. Everyone else's house invites a female gentleman, but if you don't, it's unreasonable.

Ren Yaoqi was telling a joke with Mrs. Li and others. Everyone was so happy. The atmosphere in the room was cheerful, and suddenly she heard Queer, the maid who was standing at the door leading to the clean room, frowning and turning to the clean room. The direction gave a light drink: "Who is outside!"

Everyone was taken aback, and Mrs. Li accidentally pricked her hand with an embroidery needle.

"What are you doing! I was shocked!" Zhou Ma immediately got up and walked over.

Queer hurriedly said, "The servant just heard a movement in the clean room. It seems that someone accidentally kicked the wooden horse in the clean room."

There is a small clean room in the inner room of the west room of Li's main house. The clean room has a north door. In order to facilitate the supply of water from the backyard to the clean room, it is connected to the backyard.

Mammy Zhou hurriedly walked into the clean room to check, but found no one, only saw a maza next to the north door curtain kicked down, proving that someone had come in just now. She deliberately opened the curtain of the north door of the clean room and looked into the backyard. The backyard of Ziwei Courtyard is very small, and it is only seven or eight steps away from the north gate of the clean room to the eaves that enter the last one. Because it is winter, there is no one person outside. Because the snow in the courtyard is swept three times a day, especially in the aisle in the middle, only a few lines of footprints can be seen, all of which lead to the small kitchen in the backyard dedicated to boiling water in winter. Mammy Zhou stared at the footprints for a while, then put down the curtain and went back.

Ren Yaohua put down the embroidery shed in his hand, and got up and walked over. He met Zhou Mama who had returned from the investigation, and said with a cold face: "Is it someone from the backyard who just came to eavesdrop?"

Xi'er said angrily, "These people are really lawless. It's just a matter of sneaking around to eavesdrop at night, but they are so blatant in the daytime! It's abominable!"

Ren Yaohua looked at Xi'er and was shocked and angry: "What! They have eavesdropped on them before? Why didn't you tell me?"

When Xi'er heard this, she glanced at Mrs. Li and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Li sighed to help the maids: "I didn't let them tell you, anyway, I didn't hear anything from them, let's forget it. I also heard that the people living in the backyard of our yard are all different. After all, it's not good to offend anyone."

"Mother!" Ren Yaohua stomped her feet in anger.

Mother Zhou hurriedly said, "Mrs. is also thinking that one thing is worse than one less thing. Third Miss, don't be angry with Madam."

Ren Yaohua is naturally not angry with Li, she is just a little dissatisfied with Li's calm attitude. It is precisely because of Li's fear of being afraid of that, that other people can ride on their heads to make a fortune.

"These people, if you don't give them some color, they'll have an inch. Now you can even eavesdrop on the master's words, and you may be able to do something in the future! Mother, you are condoning rape!"

Having said that, Ren Yaohua turned to look at Ren Yaoqi, squinting her eyes with a three-point provocation: "Didn't you say those people can't move? Could it be that we just endure them like this and do nothing?"

Ren Yaoqi thought about the boldness of those people, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, but when he heard the words, he shook his head and said, "I didn't say that those people couldn't move, I just wanted to clean up that they couldn't pass your hand, and couldn't be in a hurry. "

Ren Yaohua raised his chin. With a cold face, he said, "So you want to help? I don't care what you want to do, anyway, if you can't solve their problems before the New Year, I will use my method to drive people away! Mother lives in the sneaky eyes of those people every day, I can't swallow this breath."

"Why are you arguing again?" Mrs. Li was anxious on the side, for fear that the two daughters would get into a fight if they disagreed. The relationship between the two has finally eased up a little recently, and if it becomes stiff again, she will have a very headache.

Ren Yaoqi was not as angry as everyone expected, but after pondering for a moment, he nodded calmly: "I know, I will be responsible for dealing with these people." After that, he added, "Before the Chinese New Year ."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially Li Shi, who once again sighed that the youngest daughter had grown up.

Seeing that Ren Yaoqi has a good attitude, and this matter can't be said to be Ren Yaoqi's fault, Ren Yaohua is silent, she is a little uncomfortable, and she is unwilling to put down her body to apologize for her previous tone, just nodded coldly Said: "If you need help, you can ask someone to find the turnip beside me, and she will help you."

Ren Yaoqi smiled at her: "I see."

This smile made everyone stunned again, and Ren Yaohua didn't say anything else.
