She vaguely remembered that when her mother and third sister came back in the previous life, she did not go to greet her mother in time because of her worsening condition. However, when her father returned to the house a few days later, she went out wearing the clothes and jewelry that her father brought her from Kyoto to see guests.
Because of this, the third sister Ren Yaohua disliked her even more.
Ren Yaohua hated that she didn't take her mother to heart and was ruthless.
She also complained that her mother treated her sister a thousand times better than her. She was willing to accompany her sister to Zhuangzi to endure hardships, but left her alone in the house to be taken care of by her aunt. Even when she was seriously ill, she never sent anyone to see her, and she will come over again. The doctor who treated her sent her to the third sister, who had nothing wrong with her.
When Ren Yaoqi thought he had forgotten, the past gradually became clear. At this time, looking at the events of the past, she naturally saw the tricks in it.
Someone was playing tricks in the dark, provoking her relationship with Ren Yaohua everywhere.
"Fifth Miss? If you don't drink it, the medicine will be cold." Seeing her frowning at the medicine bowl, Jin Jue urged her with a smile.
Ren Yaoqi frowned, took the medicine bowl, and brought it to his lips. Seeing that she was willing to drink it, Jinju was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Ren Yaoqi moved the medicine bowl away again, frowning even tighter: "Why do I feel that today's medicine looks more bitter?"
Kumquat's heart jumped, his eyes swept into the medicine bowl, and he forced a smile: "Why? Miss, you haven't even entered yet..."
Ren Yaoqi squinted at her from the corner of his eye, and said arrogantly: "This young lady has been ill for a long time, and she knows that today's medicine is bitter as soon as she smells it!"
"This… "
Kumquat suppressed his temper and squeezed out a smile, wanting to continue to persuade, Ren Yaoqi said again: "You go to Aunt Fang and ask for a plate of Wumei Sier, the kind that is marinated with mint leaves and honey, and the top is also Sprinkled with snow candy."
The corner of Kumquat's mouth twitched. It turned out that it was so difficult to speak today because of greed, but he was relieved and got up and said, "This servant is going." After speaking, he turned around and went out.
Seeing her figure disappear into the inner room, Ren Yaoqi put away the arrogance on his face, put on a thick cotton jacket and got out of bed, carrying the medicine bowl to the back of the screen in the inner room, The medicine was poured into the bucket.
After that, he went back to the bed and sat down. After thinking about it, he put the few drops of concoction left in the bowl on the corner of his lips.
Kumquat came back soon. When he came in and saw that the medicine bowl was empty, he couldn't help but stunned. Ren Yaoqi said impatiently, "Why did you go so long! You want to kill me!"
Kumquat hurriedly handed over a plate of umesi in his hand, Ren Yaoqi took a piece of mouth with a silver drill beside the plate, and then half-squinted his eyes in satisfaction: "It's so sweet—"
Kumquat's eyes were secretly aiming at the medicine bowl, and then looked at Ren Yaoqi, and was satisfied when she saw the remaining medicinal juice on the corner of her mouth, and her smile became more sincere: "This Wumeisier is used by my aunt. It’s made by my mother’s secret recipe and can’t be eaten anywhere else. It’s been raining a lot this year, and several gardens in the north with the best green plums have been flooded, so my aunt only pickled such a jar. Miss Jiu said last time I want to eat, but my aunt still doesn't give it, she said she wants to keep it for Fifth Miss. So Miss Nine has been angry with our aunt for several days."
Seeing that the curtain outside moved, Ren Yaoqi suddenly tilted his head and winked at Kumquat, and said with a smile: "Thank you for telling me this, it turns out that the ninth sister is so petty, you don't know if you don't tell me. But don't worry, I won't let her know that you spoke ill of her to me."
Kumquat's face turned pale when she heard the words, she did not say that Miss Jiu was embarrassed behind her back.
"Miss Fifth, I..."
Ren Yaoqi interrupted her words, took off a lustrous and transparent white jade bracelet on his bowl and handed it to Kumquat: "I never treat myself badly, this is a reward for you."
Kumquat glanced at the bracelet, her heart skipped a beat, but she swallowed the rebuttal she was about to say.
She looked left and right, carefully put the bracelet into her sleeve, and said softly, "Slave, thank the Fifth Young Lady for the reward."
Ren Yaoqi covered his mouth and yawned: "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep for a while, you go down."
"Yes, Fifth Miss." Kumquat waited for Ren Yaoqi to lie down and then backed off.
Ren Yaoqi waited for a while, then whispered, "Who's outside?"
After some rustling noises, the two maids, Qingmei and Sydney, lifted the curtain and entered.
"Miss, what are your orders?" Qingmei stepped forward eagerly.
Ren Yaoqi said, "Come and wait for me to get dressed and get up."
Qingmei smiled apologetically: "Miss, what do you want to tell the servants, or don't get up?" But his eyes glanced at Ren Yaoqi's wrist.
Ren Yaoqi pretended not to see her gaze, and said with a half-smile, "I want to go to the toilet, can you replace me too?"
Qingmei hurriedly said: "Then, just put on the little jacket."
Ren Yaoqi frowned: "Do you want me to catch a cold, or do you want me to be disheveled when I go to the toilet!"
What kind of system do you need to go to the toilet? Isn't it like this on weekdays? Youthful ashamed.
Sydney, who was on the side, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't be angry, miss, the servant will wait for you to get dressed." At the same time, she winked at Qingmei and told her not to talk too much.
Sydney waited for Ren Yaoqi to put on a thick jacket and a pleated skirt.
"Go and fetch my thick lynx-skin cloak." Ren Yaoqi instructed Sydney.
Sydney was shocked, this is the dress to go out
"Miss? Are you going out?" Qingmei asked already.
Ren Yaoqi ignored her and only glanced at Sydney.
Sydney was swept away by her eyes, so she had to stand up: "Hey, this servant is going." Before turning around, she gave Qingmei a wink.
Qingmei smiled and said, "Miss, where are you going? You can tell the servant, the servant will arrange it."
Seeing that Ren Yaoqi was ignoring her, she rolled her eyes: "Slave, go and prepare a hand stove for you, lest you catch a cold when you go out." Then she turned and left.
"Stand." Ren Yaoqi called in a low voice, although it was only a few words, but it stopped Qingmei's footsteps.
"Go and find my long chain of two hundred and fifty-six beads."
"Yes, miss." Although Qingmei wanted to report to Aunt Zhu, she did not dare to disobey Ren Yaoqi's words, so she hurriedly went to the dressing table and found a bunch of powder the size of a thumb cap. Here comes the long chain of white and gold pearls strung together.
"Miss, this slave will bring it for you?" This chain is too long, Ren Yaoqi would have to go around it three or four times before wearing it. She usually thinks it is too cumbersome to wear it, but I suddenly remembered it today.
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "I think this chain is rustic, you can change it for me."
"Ah?" Qingmei was stunned, "How do you want to change Miss?"
Ren Yaoqi pointed to the pearl on top and said, "Take it apart, one is pink, one is white, and one is gold mixed with strings."
Qingmei went to the closet to find needles and thread with a bitter face.
At this time, Sydney had already found the lynx-skinned crane cloak. Seeing that Qingmei was still in the room, she couldn't help frowning.
Ren Yaoqi asked Sydney to simply comb her hair, put on a crane cloak, and was about to go out.
"The green plum leaves a string of beads, and Sydney comes with me."
Glancing at Qingmei, Xue Li hesitated for a moment, but went ahead to lay the curtain for Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi was going out for the first time in two days. As soon as the outside curtain was lifted, the cold wind swirled around with snowflakes the size of goose feathers, and the ice slag hit his face.
Even though he was dressed thickly, his body was still warm, but his face was frozen in an instant. Snowflakes were smeared on his eyelashes, and in a blink of an eye, one bloomed, blurring his vision.
She hadn't seen the snow in the Northland for many years.
"Miss, it's cold outside, why don't you go back?" Sydney persuaded carefully.
Ren Yaoqi ignored it. She pulled down the hood on her head, covering most of her face, and then walked towards the main room without looking back. up.
"Miss Fifth, slide carefully—" Sydney chased after him.
Ziwei Courtyard is not small, the west wing is separated from the main room by a hall and a large courtyard.
Ren Yaoqi flew all the way along the veranda, and when he came out of the porch connecting the verandah, he almost stepped on the thin and light snow under the eaves of the main room and slipped, but when he was really standing at the door of the main room At the time, it was a little timid.
A few strands of light leaked out from the door curtains embroidered with gold and jade in indigo blue, and Ren Yaoqi vaguely heard someone talking in the main room.
"Fifth Miss." The maid on duty was a little puzzled when she saw a tightly wrapped figure running along the veranda, but after seeing through the windbreak lamp under the porch, it was clear that it was Ren Yaoqi. After a salute, he hurried in to report.
After a while, the indigo blue curtain was lifted from the inside, and a beautiful girl with almond eyes and snow skin came out wearing a silver-red embroidered peony flower fur jacket, a goose-yellow pleated skirt.
She is two years older than Ren Yaoqi, and she is taller than her peers. She stands under the eaves and looks at her condescendingly. Her pretty face is ice-cold. Warm up half a minute.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a while, then opened his mouth: "Three..."
She didn't want to say anything, but the girl suddenly raised her hand and slapped her face fiercely. The clear and loud slap made everyone present stunned.
"Ren Yaoqi, you still have the face!" A cold voice with some mockery sounded beside Ren Yaoqi's buzzing ears.
