Although Aunt Fang didn't immediately agree to disappoint Ren Yaoying, she couldn't help being excited when she thought that Ren Yaohua might be married to the ugly son of the Zeng family, Ren Yaoying.
The next month passed unexpectedly calmly, until the third room of the Ren family started to get busy a few days before Ren Shimin went to Yunyang City.
Ren Shimin told Mrs. Li that she would follow her to take care of the inner courtyard and take care of the children. Mrs. Li began to take Mother Zhou to sort out the things that she was going to bring to Yunyang City half a month in advance. Fortunately, because Yunyang City is very close to Baihe Town, they have to come back during the festivals, so most of the things have to stay in the old house. I went to buy a new one, so the Li family only needs to pack up their husband and wife and children's belongings.
Mr. Ren San also made it clear that he would not take Aunt Fang with him, but he would take Ren Yihong and Ren Yaoying and Mrs. Li had no opinion on this.
Mrs. Ren originally wanted Mr. Ren San to take Auntie Fang with her, but Ren Shimin was unwilling. Mrs. Ren thought that it was really not decent to take Auntie Fang out as she wanted to be there, so she didn't say anything. However, she still sent a lot of things to Fangfeiyuan to appease Aunt Fang. Fortunately, Auntie Fang accepted it calmly, and nothing happened.
But before she left, the old lady Ren suddenly changed her mind again, she didn't want Ren Yaohua to go to Yunyang City. The old lady Ren's idea is very simple. Ren Yaohua is already sixteen. Now the bad rumors about her have long since dissipated. Instead, there are rumors that she is strict and polite. Recently, two families have arrived. The Ren family came to inquire about Ren Yaohua.
The family background of one of the two families is almost the same as that of the Ren family. It is a merchant family in Shunzhou, surnamed Fan. Their second wife's natal family is in Baihe Town. When she brought her children back to her mother's birthday banquet years ago, she saw Ren Yaohua who attended the birthday banquet with Mrs. Ren.
The other family is from Baihe Town, surnamed Tang. The family started out in the timber business, and has some business dealings with the Ren family. The family is not as good as the Ren family. It is a very ordinary merchant family.
The old lady Ren was not very satisfied with these two. As for the old lady of the Fan family who disliked that Mr. Fan was not the eldest son of the eldest family and could not inherit the family business, the second family of the Fan family who proposed a marriage would have to be split up at that time.
Although the Tang family is the eldest son in the eldest house, the old lady Ren felt that her daughter should marry a high-ranking daughter. The Tang family's family background is too thin, and she has met the eldest young master of the Tang family. He is not tall and talented. , not as flexible as the other two young masters of the Tang family.
Although both of them were not satisfactory, Mrs. Ren felt that this was a signal that if she walked around with Ren Yaohua more, she would definitely be able to pick a suitable one. Ren Yaohua's age was also delayed.
Ren Yaohua didn't say anything after knowing that her grandmother didn't want her to go. She was different from Ren Yaoqi. The old lady Ren treated her very well. Although she was often dissatisfied with the attitude of the old lady Ren and her auntie, in general She still knows that the old lady loves her.
After Ren Yaoqi found out, she was a little worried. She didn't want to let the old lady Ren give Ren Yaohua an appointment. She couldn't trust the elders of the Ren family.
But on this matter, Ren Shimin and Mrs. Li have not expressed any opinion. After all, Ren Yaohua is indeed at the age to talk about marriage, and the marriage of the girls in the Ren family has always been decided by the old man Ren and the old lady Ren. Ren Yaoqi couldn't find any good way for Ren Yaohua to go with them for the time being.
But what Ren Yaoqi did not expect was that just two days before they left for Yunyang City, another family came to propose marriage to Ren Yaohua, and the person who came was actually accompanied by the chief steward of the Su family.
At that time, Ren Yaoqi was personally leading the maids in the study to sort out her study. She had to bring most of the books in the study, and she did not worry about letting the maids and maids clean it up.
When I heard that the chief steward of the Su family brought two people to the Ren family's house, Ren Yaoqi didn't care much at first, until the old lady Ren asked Ren Yaohua to come over.
Because the old lady Ren has been worrying about Ren Yaohua's marriage for a while, Ren Yaoqi has some vigilance in her heart, and she always feels that it is not a good thing.
Sure enough, there were no words to describe the anger in Ren Yaoqi's heart after Mammy Zhou came back after hearing the news.
"Mommy, what did you say? Which Zeng family came to propose marriage?"
Mammy Zhou was a little surprised by Ren Yaoqi's gaffe, but she quickly replied, "It's the new commander of Ningxia, Mr. Zeng. He sent someone to propose marriage to his only son."
Ren Yaoqi was a little unsteady, and was supported by Mammy Zhou: "Fifth Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable? Do you want to ask a doctor?" Mammy Zhou anxiously helped Ren Yaoqi to the chair sit down.
Ren Yaoqi was already in a storm, she really couldn't figure out why the Zeng family would come to propose marriage to Ren Yaohua in this life, and how many days did the Zeng family have in Ningxia? The feet haven't stood firm yet, so it's hard to say if there is a Ren family. Is there anything else worth using in the Ren family
In the last life, the second wife of the second room was the one who told the Zeng family. This time, although the second wife did not come forward, the Su family came. It should be because of the relationship of the Su family's eldest grandmother, the Zeng family.
"What do you mean by the old man and the old lady?" Ren Yaoqi waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and asked with a frown.
Mammy Zhou said, "The old man asked someone to receive the chief steward of the Su family in the outer courtyard, and the old lady met the people sent by the Zeng family. But the slave girl heard that the old man and the old lady did not come down immediately."
Ren Yaoqi sneered: "Of course I can't get it fast this time. After all, the Zeng family is just relying on others. It's just because of the Su family's affection, the Ren family can't refuse it."
Mammy Zhou didn't understand why Ren Yaoqi said "this time", is there a "last time"? But she didn't ask, just thought it was Ren Yaoqi's slip of the tongue.
"Fifth Miss, the servant also heard that Mr. Zeng has some flaws in his appearance, but you can't just look at the appearance when you live at home. Why do you feel so disgusted with the Zeng family?"
Although Mother Zhou did not approve of letting Ren Yaohua marry into the Zeng family, Ren Yaoqi's reaction was somewhat unexpected. She thought that it was because Ren Yaoqi was friendly with the county master of Yanbei Wangfu, and the Zeng family belonged to the imperial court, so she disliked the Zeng family, but it was not so simple looking at Ren Yaoqi. .
Ren Yaoqi couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes and said: "I heard some rumors about the Zeng family last time. This son of Zeng is not only flawed in appearance, but also very strange in temperament."
These are actually what Ren Yaoqi knew after Ren Yaohua got married in his last life.
Zeng Kui likes that others are afraid of him, and the more afraid he is, the happier he is. But Ren Yaohua is stubborn, where is she willing to bow her head? So in order to make Ren Yaohua fear him, Zeng Kui didn't know what filthy means he used to torture Ren Yaohua in the last life, which made her unable to bear the last time and would kill her husband.
Others like women who are soft and considerate, but Zeng Kui is an exception, he likes others to resist him. Even though Zeng Kui was not a few years older than them, there were a lot of maids and servants who had fallen into his hands since he knew about personnel. There was even a time when a new concubine of his father Zeng Lin was admitted to the government because he didn't recognize Zeng Kui. After seeing him, he arrogantly told him to get away from her so as not to stain her eyes. Zeng Kui dragged her back to him on the spot. the yard, and whether she is his father's new favorite.
It's just that Zeng Yu has only one son, Zeng Kui, who is very doting. So these things were well concealed by the Zeng family, and now that they left the capital and came to Yanbei, no one knew about these dirty things in the inner courtyard of the Zeng family. Ren Yaoqi knew this was what Mr. Pei told her after he went to Kyoto.
Therefore, in the eyes of others, Zeng Kui may be just a boy with a flawed appearance, but in the eyes of Ren Yaoqi, flies and maggots are cleaner than him.
Mammy Zhou looked at Ren Yaoqi's expression and knew that the rumors she heard were definitely not very good, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
After Ren Yaohua came back, Ren Yaoqi went to look for her. When he learned from Xiangqin that Ren Yaohua had a relationship with Zeng Kui last time in Yunyang City, Ren Yaoqi was speechless for a while.
Is this a sin? After going around in a circle, I thought I had escaped, but I still encountered it.
When Zeng Lu first came to Yanbei in the last life, Zeng Kui didn't go with him. He came here by himself. At that time, Ren Yaohua had been grounded, and it was impossible to see Zeng Kui at all. In this lifetime, Ren Yaoqi's design made Zeng Lu, the general soldier in Ningxia, not worthy of his name, but he still did not let Ren Yaohua escape this bad fate.
However, even if it was a bad fate, it was absolutely impossible for Ren Yaoqi to watch Ren Yaohua fall into the fire pit.
What they didn't know was that not long after the people sent by the Zeng family left, the Ren family received a letter from the old lady of the second room in the capital and Fang Yacun at the same time.
The old man in the second room didn't know where he got the news that the Zeng family wanted to marry the girl of the Ren family. He didn't inquire about the dirty things in the inner courtyard of Zeng Kui, or maybe he didn't take it seriously, but inquired about it. In the past six months, Zeng Lu has been a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and he can be regarded as a new noble in the court. He also asked Mr. Ren not to look too low, and only saw the current disadvantage of the Zeng family in Yanbei, and reminded Mr. Ren that Zeng Lin was a capable minister. As long as he was given half a chance, he would be able to make a name for himself and make a name for himself, and his future was impossible. Limited.
If the second room of the Ren family came to trust the old man just to see it, then Fang Yacun's letter made the old man hesitant.
Fang Yaxun casually mentioned in the letter that the father-in-law Lu, who had helped him a lot, even had some friendship with Zeng Lin. After learning about this, he even joked that he would come to ask for a wedding drink.
