Going out this time was the first step for Mrs. Li to enter the circle of the wives of Yunyang Academy. Although Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua were affected by seeing Zeng Kui, in general, this time they went to Bailong Temple still has harvest.
Just after returning home, the steward came up and reported Ren Yaoying's matter to Mrs. Li.
Hearing that Ren Yaoying was picked up by the Zhou family's carriage shortly after they left, Li was surprised and could not help frowning.
Mother Zhou went out with Mrs. Li this time, so when she came back and heard that the steward had let Ren Yaoying go out by herself, she scolded: "Master and wife are not at home, who allows Miss Jiu to go out at will! If something happened What's going on?"
Later, the more he thought about it, the more he felt inappropriate, and he couldn't help but sweat coldly on his face: "But the people sent by the Zhou family said that they had already sent people to Bailong Temple to ask the wife for instructions."
Mammy Zhou said coldly, "Oh? Then you can get Miss Jiu's carriage from Zhou's house with your wife's order?"
"No… "
"Then tell me, who is your master? Someone from the Zhou family?"
"I… "
"Okay, first send someone to Zhou's house to bring Miss Jiu back. If she is in good shape, you will come back to receive the punishment. If something happens to her, you don't have to come back."
The steward immediately withdrew.
Ren Yaohua frowned and said, "Mother, you are too used to her. Anyway, we are all uneasy and kind people in her heart. Why should you care so much about giving her face? Will she still appreciate it?"
Li sighed: "It's just a child, how can I still care about her? Well, this time she is so unruly. When she comes back, I will explain that she will be grounded, and she will not be allowed to go out at will in the future."
Ren Yaohua complained: "My grandmother clearly knew that Aunt Fang was at odds with you, but she still asked her to come along. No matter she complains that you are too strict with the concubine, she always makes a fool of herself. This time since she is herself If you don’t understand the rules and make a mistake, mother, keep her locked up, so that she won’t go out and cause you trouble.”
For Ren Yaoying, a concubine, Ren Yaohua never mind being a bad person. If she was the Li family, she would definitely not give Ren Yaoying any freedom at all, and kept her locked up to see what crooked thoughts she could have.
After an hour, Ren Yaoying was sent by the steward to pick him up.
Fortunately, she really went to Zhou's house this time, and didn't walk around.
Ren Yaoying glanced at Li Shi and then looked at Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi, then came forward to salute, and then stood silently.
Li's tone was quite gentle and authentic: "Yaoying, don't you know that you have to ask the elders in your family to agree to this rule when you go out?"
Ren Yaoying lowered her head and said, "Mom, you're not in the house, and father went to the academy. Someone from the Zhou family said they had sent someone to Bailong Temple to ask you for instructions, so I went."
Li frowned: "But I haven't seen anyone from the Zhou family."
Mother Zhou said: "Miss Jiu, even if the Zhou family sent someone to ask the wife for instructions, you should wait for the wife to send someone back and say you can go out before you can go out. Didn't anyone teach you these rules before?"
Ren Yaoying bit her lip.
Li sighed: "Go back and copy the filial piety script twenty times. In addition, if you don't get permission from me or your father, you can't go out by yourself."
Ren Yaoying couldn't help but said, "What if the Zhou family sent someone to pick me up again? Mother, would you allow me to go out?"
Ren Yaoying said, subconsciously covering her chest, there was a pendant of jade magnolia flower in the front of her clothes, which was not her own, but Zhou Wen quietly stuffed it into her hand today. Zhou Wen said that next time, Zhou Rong will come to pick her up to Zhou's house.
She didn't answer him at that time, but if Li said she wouldn't let her go to Zhou's house in the future, she would be a little unwilling.
Zhou Wen likes her, she knows it well.
Zhou Wen's appearance is not bad, she has some talents, and she will try her best to please her. Ren Yaoying is a little tempted. But Ren Yaoying thought, it would be great if Zhou Wen's family background could be higher!
She has also inquired about the situation of the Zhou family one after another. The Zhou family's wealth in Yunyang City can only be regarded as medium, and its wealth is far less than that of the Ren family. Although Zhou Wen's father was an official in the Yanbei Palace, he was only a small secretary and had no real power, and there would not be much room for promotion in the future.
Listening to Zhou Rong's meaning, when Mrs. Zhou got married, the dowry was quite generous, but in the future, Mrs. Zhou's dowry will accompany most of Zhou Rong's dowry, and even the little villager in Hot Spring Villa will be given to Zhou Rong. of. Apart from Zhou Wen, the Zhou family has nothing to gain. This is the conclusion Ren Yaoying drew from Zhou Rong's words.
Today Zhou Wen tentatively told her that his mother was already looking for a wife for him, but he himself wanted to wait until he took the township examination in August next year before considering marriage, and after that, he gave her the jasper orchid flower.
Ren Yaoying did not directly refuse at that time.
She thought, if Zhou Wen can get good grades in the township exam, and then successfully pass the Yanbei general exam, then the future is not necessarily good. After all, Zhou Wen is very confident when talking about this, and she secretly told Zhou Rong had inquired about it, and Zhou Wen was really liked by the gentlemen in Yunyang Academy.
Ren Yaoying is still young, and it is not up to her to discuss marriage, so she feels that there is no need to reject Zhou Wen so early. Aside from family background and other factors, Ren Yaoying still has a good impression of Zhou Wen, a young man who can talk and look good.
Ren Yaohua said coldly from the side: "Don't you understand? Because you went out without the consent of your elders today, you have been grounded! You can't go anywhere except your room!"
Ren Yaoying looked at Li Shi in disbelief: "Mother, do you want to ban my feet?"
Li said, "Wait until you learn the rules before going out."
Ren Yaoying said with red eyes and grief: "Mother, can you abuse me so much just because I'm a concubine? The third and fifth sisters live in a big room and can go out with you. My daughter-in-law lives in the place where the descendants live. That’s all, now you don’t even let me go out? If you really hate me so much, just send me back to Baihe Town! With my grandmother and aunt here, I can at least have a full meal to eat!”
"Presumptuous!" The more and more Ren Yaoying said, the more she spoke, and even Mrs. Li couldn't listen anymore, so she couldn't help frowning and shouting.
"Ren Yaoying, are you starving you here? Could it be that the food delivered to your room was finally fed to the dog? If you did something wrong, you did it wrong, just accept the punishment obediently. Qing is barking in front of my mother, and I will have someone come to teach you the rules, so that you don't understand the etiquette taught by your aunt and lose our face! Come on! Take her back to me and take care of her, as long as She dares to walk out of the room and break her leg!" Ren Yaohua sneered.
Ren Yaoying said angrily, "You dare!"
Ren Yaohua smiled, looked at her gloomy tone and said: "I dare you to give it a try! This is not the first time I have done something like breaking someone's leg. Don't you and your concubine know very well? Back then You gave me a lot of publicity, didn't you?"
"you… "
At this time, a male voice suddenly appeared at the door: "What's going on? What is the noise like!"
When everyone turned around, they saw Ren Shimin walking in with a cold face.
"That's how you raised them? They yelled at each other?" Ren Shimin said to Mrs. Li.
Li lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
Ren Yaoying immediately burst into tears: "Father, you want to call the shots for me!"
Seeing her howling, Ren Shimin became irritable, looked at the people present, and then pointed at Ren Yaoqi, who didn't speak, and said, "Tell me what's going on."
Ren Yaoqi will talk about today's Ren Yaoying going out without asking Li's instructions.
Ren Shimin asked Li: "I remember you are not going to Bailong Temple today?"
Ren Yaohua said: "Ninth sister said she was not feeling well, so she didn't go. Mother even invited a doctor for her. But as soon as we left, Ninth sister's illness was cured and she got into the Zhou family's carriage."
Ren Shimin looked at Ren Yaoying: "Are you pretending to be sick?"
Ren Yaoying choked and said, "I... I know my mother and sister don't like me, and I don't want to be annoying with the past, I... "
"I'm asking if you're feigning illness!" Ren Shimin said impatiently.
Ren Yaoying just cried and didn't speak.
Ren Shimin glanced at her, then turned to Mrs. Li and said, "Find a woman to teach her the rules, and don't allow her to step out of her room until she learns the rules."
Li's head bowed in response, Ren Yaoying cried even louder, and there was indescribable grievance in her voice.
Ren Shimin looked at Ren Yaoying and said, "I know that you grew up with your aunt, and you may have learned some of her ways in dealing with people, which I don't like very much, so you have to change it for me, otherwise you Let's go back to Baihe Town, but don't tell anyone that you are my Ren Shimin's daughter."
Ren Yaoying was frightened by the words behind Ren Shimin, and even forgot to cry.
Does the father mean to cut off relations with her
Ren Yaohua winked at Xi'er, Xi'er understood and came forward to invite Ren Yaoying out. Seeing that Ren Yaoying didn't respond, Xi'er and Que'er helped her out.
After Ren Yaoying left, Ren Shimin looked at Ren Yaohua again and frowned, "I heard your voice outside, and you should learn your rules!"
Ren Yaohua was in a good mood when she saw that Ren Shimin had an attack on Ren Yaoying. She was not angry when she was scolded by Ren Shimin like this, but responded obediently.
Seeing her like this, Ren Shimin didn't say anything anymore. The main reason why Ren Shimin happened to Ren Yaoying was because she lied, which made Ren Shimin very displeased. Although Ren Yaohua's temperament was not in line with Ren Shimin's intention, it was finally not crooked.
In fact, the third master Ren really does not have high requirements for his children.
He attacked Ren Yaoying twice because of her character.
Ren Yaoying has been grounded since this day, because Ren Shimin, a father, spoke in person, and no one dared to say anything.
