Coral immediately recalled that this mama was the mama who sent Fourth Miss Ren Yaoyin back to Ren's courtyard last time. It seems that her surname is Duan
Sure enough, Shan Shan heard Ren Yaoqi ask: "Mother Duan, when will the princess be free to see me? I'll come back another day to greet you."
Madam Duan shook her head and said, "Princess has not been free recently, so please come back, Miss Ren."
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Shan Shan and hesitated, not knowing whether to leave or not.
Shan Shan has been by the old lady Ren's side for many years, and she is also very clever, she quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mother Duan has been doing well recently, before we came here today, our old lady mentioned you, saying that it was the fifth lady who was taken care of by you. ."
Saying that, Shan Shan took Madam Duan's hand and stuffed a purse containing ten taels of silver naked into Madam Duan's sleeve. The old lady had told her that the purse was ready before she came. A total of five or six silver purses have been prepared, and there are also some small red envelopes in case of emergency.
The coral reminded Duan mama of the last time she went to the Ren Family Courtyard, where the old lady gave her a mutton fat jade toad. The expression on her face eased a lot, and she nodded in greeting: " The old lady Ren is in good health recently."
Seeing that there is a way, Shan Shan was overjoyed, and the smile on her face became more and more well-behaved: "Our old lady is doing well, today we specially asked our fifth young lady to come to greet the princess, unfortunately, when the princess has something to do, it seems that only the next Are you back?"
Madam Duan thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Princess really doesn't want to see guests today."
Coral heard that what Duan Ma said was "don't want" instead of "inconvenient" and couldn't help but feel a "squeak" in his heart, and asked tentatively, "Then according to Mammy's opinion, when should I come back?"
Mammy Duan was silent for a moment and sighed, but she didn't want to say more, she just said, "Please come back." After speaking, she turned around and went back to the Yanbei Palace, ignoring Shan Shan calling her from behind.
Duan Momo left like this, and Coral became more and more clueless, but the princess said clearly that she would not see any guests, so they couldn't force their way in. This was the Yanbei Palace.
Coral looked at Ren Yaoqi with some difficulty: "Fifth Miss, this..."
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "The princess doesn't see any guests, so I can't help it."
Coral sighed: "The only way is to go back to the old man and the old lady first."
So Ren Yaoqi took the carriage back to Ren's house again. After so much tossing, it was already dark when Ren Yaoqi's carriage arrived at Baihe Town.
The people from the various rooms of the Ren family still gathered in the Ronghua Courtyard and did not leave, but the old man and the great man were gone, and the old lady from the Dongfu couldn't sit still and went back first.
It turned out that after Ren Yaoqi left, news came out one after another. The government had previously closed the three coal mines of the Ren family and took over the coal depot of the Ren family in Yanzhou. I didn't expect that many miners in the mine were making trouble today. Jointly sued Ren Jia for taking his life, and Rick detained and beat the miners on weekdays.
One wave after another, followed by a mountain owner connected to a coal mountain under the Ren family's name, also took the opportunity to sue the Ren family for secretly digging the coal mine over the boundary and hollowing out his family's mountainside.
The matter of digging coal and digging across the border was originally the same as the mountain owner, because there was an agreement between the two companies before, and the Ren family also gave him a sum of money every year, but he didn't expect that this lawsuit would lead to it. The Ren family hid swordsmen in an abandoned mine.
When this happened, everyone was in an uproar.
Whether it was Dazhou under the Li Dynasty or Yanbei under the Yanbei Palace, it was strictly forbidden to hide a large number of weapons privately. Hundreds of bows and arrows and a hundred arrows were found in the abandoned coal mine of the Ren family. The Pu Dao, although the number of weapons is not too many, but what kind of results this matter itself will cause can be big or small.
Mr. Ren and Mr. Ren were invited by the government not long after Ren Yaoqi left because of this matter. As soon as the backbone left, the Ren family was in chaos.
The old lady Ren was also anxious, but she could only leave the people in each room first, wait for the news outside, and discuss to see if there are any good countermeasures.
As soon as Ren Yaoqi entered the room, everyone's eyes turned to her, as if she wanted to see a turning point from her. The old lady Ren even stood up immediately and asked eagerly, "How is it? The princess sees you. Already? What did you say?"
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "The princess didn't see me."
As soon as Ren Yaoqi's words fell, the room was quiet, and everyone in the Ren family looked at me and I saw your expression became more and more gloomy.
The old lady Ren frowned and said, "You haven't seen the princess? What's going on?"
Shan Shan stepped forward and told old lady Ren what happened today and what Duan mama said. When old lady Ren's face changed, she became angry with Ren Yaoqi, pointing at her and scolding: "In normal times, the princess is not Do you have a very good impression of you? I even sent you several things, how can I not see you? "
Ren Yaoqi shook his head. The coral that should be said has already been said, and she has nothing to say. The old lady Ren is obviously angry and has nowhere to let her out.
Master Ren Wu said: "Mother, the princess said that she couldn't break in when she didn't see Yaoqi. Now my father and eldest brother have been invited by the government, and I don't know when they will come back. Don't get angry, just think of ways to solve the problem first. "
The old lady Ren said angrily, "Then tell me what to do!"
The fifth master Ren looked at the third master Ren: "How about I and the third brother go to the government and see if we can find out any news?"
Mrs. Ren originally wanted to nod her head, but then she thought that now both Mrs. Ren and her eldest son had been called to the government. It had been more than two hours and there was still no news. In case the other two sons went, they would be trapped in the government. What to do, she shook her head again and said, "What's the use of you going? It's better to send a few more flexible managers to the government to wait, and report back in time if anything happens."
Fifth Master Ren can only go and send a few more stewards to go out.
The second master of the Ren family, who had been sitting on the side with a string of Buddha beads in his hand, seemed to have also been recalled to the mundane world. Could it be that the Ren family's luck is not good this year?"
Mrs. Ren recalled the words Mrs. Ren said before she left, and could not help frowning: "If you have bad luck, you can spend money to eliminate disasters, even if you are a villain!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Mrs. Ren.
The fifth wife was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked: "Mother, what villain? Do you mean that someone deliberately wanted to harm our Ren family?"
Grandpa Ren also thought about whether it was because the Ren family's plan to marry the Zeng family angered the Yanbei Palace, so that the Yanbei Palace wanted to teach the Ren family a lesson, so he asked Ren Yaoqi to go to the Yanbei Palace to test it out. Queen's attitude.
Later, the government came to the door and said that the weapon was found in the abandoned mine of the Ren family. While shocked, Mrs. Ren began to wonder if this was done by the Han family for revenge. After all, if the Yanbei Palace wanted to give Ren There is no need to go around this big circle and deliberately frame things.
Ren Yaoqi had just listened to the conversation between Ren Shimao and Ren Shimin and also learned that the Renjia mine was found to have hidden weapons, and that Mrs. Ren and Mr. Ren were invited by the government. She was also thinking about it.
Based on Ren Yaoqi's understanding of Xiao Jingxi, Xiao Jingxi really disdain to do this kind of framing just to teach the little Ren family a lesson, and she also thought of the Han family who had not been moving for a long time.
It's just that the Han family can hear the wind so quickly and step on the Ren family at this juncture. Ren Yaoqi doesn't know if there is any hint from the Yanbei Palace.
It was really easy to let the Han family come forward to deal with the Ren family.
Because Mrs. Ren didn't make the enmity between the Ren family and the old Mrs. Han public among the juniors, so Mrs. Ren kept her mouth shut after saying that.
The dinner was served in the flower hall of the Ronghua Courtyard, but before the meal was done, the steward who had inquired about the news came back sweating profusely.
"Old lady, the big thing is bad. The old lady and the eldest master have been detained by the government."
The old lady Ren threw her chopsticks with a flick of her hand. When she got up, she was about to fall when she was unsteady. She shook her lips and said, "You, what did you say? What are you detaining?"
The eldest lady hurriedly supported the old lady Ren, and she also changed her face: "What's the matter, please tell me slowly!"
The steward panted and said, "Originally, the official said to take our old man and the eldest man to ask questions, but the masters have been in for a long time and have not come out. It is about to get dark, and the slaves only spend fifty taels of silver to go. I asked Master Yang to inquire about the situation. After waiting for nearly an hour, Master Yang finally delivered the news, but he told the minions not to wait, and hurried back to find someone to discuss how to get the masters out, because the old man and the eldest master Because the matter of possession of weapons has been taken into custody and put in the yamen prison."
The Ren family has a good relationship with the official family because of their generosity, so if they encounter problems that are difficult to solve, they will negotiate with the yamen, and sometimes even deal with one or two servants who have made mistakes. But the master of the Ren family never thought that he would also be unable to get out of the yamen.
Even Grandpa Ren and Grandpa Ren didn't think that they might be detained when they left the Ren family.
The female relatives were shocked by the news, and the old lady Ren rolled her eyes and fainted.
The eldest lady who was closest to the old lady couldn't hold her, and she almost fell, so she hurriedly called someone: "Come and help the old lady, the fifth siblings will ask the doctor to come..."
Everyone in the Ren family was imprisoned by Mrs. Ren, and Mrs. Ren fainted.
The second Mrs. Ren was calm in the face of danger. First, she helped the eldest Mrs. Ren to lead the old lady to the inner room, and then invited the doctor into the house to see the old lady Ren.
Master Ren Er, Master Ren San and Master Ren Wu were also caught off guard. After the doctor entered the house and showed the old lady, they said that the old lady was just angry and had no life worries. They hurriedly went out to summon their stewards to come up with a solution. .
