Because Ren Yaoqi and Ren Shimin did not go back, Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoying had to take a carriage.
After Ren Yaohua got in the car, she regarded Ren Yaoying as nothing, and Ren Yaoying didn't go up to make fun of herself, and sat aside to drink tea by herself.
The first month has just passed. Although it has been sunny for the past few days, it is still very cold. A charcoal stove is burned in the carriage. People feel stuffy.
Ren Yaoying opened the curtains from time to time to let the carriage get some air, and took a look at the scenery outside. Ren Yaohua also felt that the car was a little stuffy, so she ignored her.
When the carriage entered Zhengyang Street, the most prosperous street in Yunyang City, a few carriages just drove out from the back alley of a restaurant and blocked the road. past.
Ren Yaoying glanced out and said "Huh": "So this is Fumanlou. Third sister, don't you like to eat Fumanlou's pine nuts and lily cakes? Let's get some to go back."
Ren Yaohua didn't appreciate it, and was about to refuse, but Ren Yaoying smiled and said, "Last time I mentioned the dim sum of Fumanlou, my grandmother said it was good. I want to buy some to go back to honor my grandmother. What do you think of the third sister?"
Ren Yaohua frowned, if she said she disagreed, she would probably sue her in front of the old lady Ren for being unfilial, Ren Yaohua sneered and told her maid Xiangqin, "Go down and buy two boxes for Miss Jiu. Dim sum back."
Xiangqin pouted, lifted the curtain of the car and got out of the carriage.
Just at this moment, a man's hesitant voice sounded outside the carriage: "Eh? You are not... Is it Miss Ren who is sitting in the carriage?"
Ren Yaohua heard this voice familiar, but she couldn't remember where she heard it, but Ren Yaoying covered her lips and exclaimed softly, "It seems to be the son of the Zhou family."
Let Ren Yaoying remind him like this, and Ren Yaoying also remembered that it was Zhou Wen, the son of the Zhou family, whom he met when he went to the Hot Spring Villa last time.
Without waiting for Ren Yaohua to speak, Ren Yaoying said softly to the outside: "Is the Zhou family son outside?"
Zhou Wen was very happy when he heard Ren Yaoying's voice, and quickly said, "It's me, so it turns out that Miss Ren Jiu was sitting in the car? I said why the maid who just got out of the car looked familiar." Zhou Wen has an excellent memory, even seeing Remember the parsley on the other side.
Ren Yaoying talked to him through the car curtain: "My third sister and I were going back to the other courtyard, and happened to pass by here. My grandmother and third sister both like the dim sum from Fumanlou, so I want the maid to buy some to go back."
Zhou Wendao: "So that's the case, I said why it is so coincidental today, my mother and sister also like the dim sum here, and I want to bring some back when I pass by here. By the way, my sister and you haven't seen you for a long time, and I always mention you. , she's in the carriage ahead, do you want to see her?"
Ren Yaohua frowned: "It's getting late, next..."
Ren Yaoying hurriedly said, "Although it's getting late, we really haven't seen Miss Zhou for a long time. Naturally, we want to meet." After speaking, Ren Yaoying smiled at Ren Yaohua.
Zhou Wen outside had heard Ren Yaoying's words, so he instructed his entourage, "Go and tell the lady, and let her come and see the two ladies of the Ren family."
At this point, Ren Yaohua could not tell the carriage to leave.
As expected, Zhou Rong was nearby, she came over soon, and said in surprise from outside, "Is sister Yaoying in the car?"
Ren Yaoying lifted the curtain of the car and supported the maid's hand and walked out, holding Zhou Rong's hand happily: "Sister Rong'er, long time no see, how are you doing?"
Since Ren Yaoying came out of the carriage, Zhou Wen's eyes were fixed on her for a moment, Ren Yaoying turned to look at Zhou Wen, her face was slightly red, she lowered her head and stepped forward softly: "See you. Master Zhou."
The gentle and gentle voice made Zhou Wen feel a numbness in his heart, and he was more and more reluctant to look at her.
At this time, Ren Yaohua also got out of the car, and politely met with the two brothers and sisters of the Zhou family.
Zhou Rong didn't like Ren Yaohua, and after meeting her, she ignored her and said to herself: "There is a restaurant that only accepts female guests, and there is a female storyteller in it. I have wanted to see it for a long time. It’s a pity that I didn’t have a chance. Today is a coincidence, how about sister Yaoying going with me? We haven’t seen you for a long time, let’s talk about ourselves.”
Zhou Wen saw the opportunity and arranged flexibly: "I'll let someone go to the teahouse to help you."
Ren Yaohua stopped and said, "No need. We came to Yunyang City with our elders, and it is against the rules to stay outside without the permission of our elders."
Zhou Rong was unhappy: "This is the first month of the Lantern Festival. According to Yanbei's rules, women can go out and play with their sisters at this time."
Compared with Kyoto, Yanbei has slightly less restraints on women. For example, on the 15th day of the first lunar month, Qixi Festival, Zhongyuan, and Chongyang festivals, women are allowed to travel together. Generally, the brothers at home will be followed to take care of them.
At this time, it was not long before the first lunar month, and the atmosphere of the New Year was still not dissipated, so there were also some women on Zhengyang Street, so Zhou Rong just said this.
Ren Yaohua glanced at her lightly: "Miss Zhou also knows that the Spring Festival has already passed, isn't it?"
Zhou Wen saw his sister's unconvinced look and wanted to refute, fearing that they would conflict, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss Ren San also makes sense. Well, doesn't Miss Ren like Fu Man Lou's dim sum? I I'm going to pick out some freshly baked ones for you. In addition, I heard that Fumanlou has released a few new tricks recently. I'll go buy some and bring them back to you. You might as well wait in the carriage and take this opportunity to speak. How about reminiscing?"
Reaching out his hand not to hit the smiling face, Zhou Wenbin's polite and considerate appearance made Ren Yaohua not want to refute his face too much, so he softened his voice and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Zhou, but I have already asked the maid to buy it. Don't bother."
Zhou Wen laughed and said, "No trouble, no trouble, I'm the best at things like buying snacks." As he said that, he blinked at the puffed Zhou Rong and Ren Yaoying, who was looking at her with a smile, and turned to go to Go to Fu Man Lou.
What's the use of Mr. Zhou's family for things like buying snacks? He just wanted to give Ren Yaoying and Zhou Rong a chance to talk to each other. He was kind, and Ren Yaohua didn't feel angry anymore.
Ren Yaohua asked them politely, "Why don't you wait in my carriage?"
Zhou Rong took Ren Yaoying's hand and refused with a cold face: "No need, I have a carriage myself! Sister Yaoying, go to my carriage!"
Ren Yaohua didn't try too hard, just nodded and wanted to get in the car.
At this moment, several gorgeously dressed teenagers came out from a restaurant opposite. Ren Yaoying looked up and glanced over there, and then seemed to have seen something terrible, and hid behind Zhou Rong with a pale face.
Zhou Rong followed Ren Yaoying's line of sight and glanced at the opposite side, then exclaimed in fright.
At this time, there were also discussions around, and the object of the discussion was one of the few teenagers who came out of the restaurant opposite.
The young man was tall and straight, and he was very particular about his clothes. Anyone who looked at the back would think he was a handsome young man, but it was a pity that his face was too scary. Half of his face was very pale, and his delicate outline could be vaguely seen, while the other half was severely scalded. It seemed that the outer layer of skin had been scalded and wrinkled, revealing the flesh under the skin, especially the side where he was injured. The eye on his face was a dead white, like a boiled fish eye.
Ren Yaoying couldn't help but think of the scars on her aunt's face when she saw the injury on the boy's face, so she turned pale and didn't dare to take a second look.
But it's not just Ren Yaoying. Anyone who has seen the boy's face will not dare to take a second look. Even the young people of the same age who are walking with the boy are unwilling to keep their eyes on his face. , even when talking to him, his eyes wander.
But the young man seemed to have no idea how terrifying his face was. Not only did he not want to hide it, but he would smile at that person when he saw the disgust and fear of him in the eyes of others. People scared half their lives.
He seemed to have heard Zhou Rong's exclamation here, looked over here, and then hooked the corner of his mouth at Zhou Rong, so frightened that Zhou Rong took Ren Yaoying back a step, and he seemed to be watching When something interesting happens, he usually laughs.
Ren Yaohua was about to get into the car, but now he was attracted by the movement. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the young man, who happened to meet the playful gaze that the young man swept towards her.
Ren Yaohua was also taken aback by the young man's face, but she was not a timid woman who likes to make a fuss, she just turned her eyes away after a slight pause, and then lifted the curtain of the car and got on the carriage without even pausing. It was as if all he saw was a normal person.
The young man was stunned on the spot watching the curtain of the carriage being lowered, and then a flash of interest flashed in his eyes.
A young man walking beside the teenager coughed softly and whispered, "Brother Zeng, don't worry about them, they are just..."
Zeng Kui put his hand on the man's shoulder and said in an intimate and curious tone, "Just what? They were just frightened by the wound on my face?"
The young man glanced at the hand on his shoulder, and seemed to move his shoulder uncomfortably, but his cultivation was not bad, so he resisted the urge to throw that hand away: "Cough, if brother Zeng cares about them If you look at me, next time I go out, I will find a mask for Brother Zeng to cover it up? There is a jade shop in Yunyang City, and there is a jade master in it. It fits Brother Zeng's temperament."
