Li also made a new dress for Ren Yaoying. It was an jacket with white plum blossoms embroidered on a pink background. The material and workmanship were similar to those of Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoying. After Ren Yaoying got the clothes, she came over and thanked Li, but she saw Going up is still a little sullen, and I can't get my spirits up.
The earliest ones who came today were Mrs. Liu and her daughter Liu Menghan. They also brought a pot of tiger head orchids that they had grown by themselves.
This was agreed before. Since today is a flower viewing party, all the wives and young ladies who come to participate must bring flowers, and finally the oiran will be judged.
Afterwards, Mrs. Chen and her daughter and two other wives also came. Mrs. Chen brought a pot of "Luoyang Red", one of the other two wives brought a pot of "Cui Yipin", and the other brought a pot of "Wei Zi".
Ouyang's and a few older wives came later. Ouyang's brought a pot of "White Snow Tower" and a pot of "Phoenix Zhenyu", and the other wives also brought famous flowers.
Mr. Li asked people to build a pergola in the courtyard, put out the famous flowers in the family, and set up low tables and stools, so that people could serve tea and snacks. Before moving here, Mr. Ren San rested the yard up and down, and repaired it according to his aesthetics. Not to mention, Mr. Ren San has great talent and vision in this aspect. , so even if it is just an ordinary courtyard, it gives people a feeling of relaxation and joy.
It happened to be early summer at this time, and it was not very hot in the morning. There was a pergola in the yard for shade, and the wind was breezy. It was also a very pleasant thing to sit in the courtyard, enjoy the flowers and drink tea, and chat about interesting things in the city.
The people here today are all wives and young ladies with excellent tutors, and it is enough to stop chatting about gossip. Everyone knew about the changes in the Ren family a while ago, but no one came up with it, not even secretly talking about it, and respected the main family very much. The temperaments of these wives are very much to Li's appetite, so she also really wants to be with them.
Sisters Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua chat with Liu Menghan, Chen Zhiyi and the other two young ladies about flowers and grasses. Although the young ladies are young, they have all read books and have some knowledge, especially Liu Menghan and Chen Zhiyi. She can be regarded as a woman who is well-known and well-known, and Ren Yaoqi, who has a broad vision, they also chat very well together.
Ren Yaoying came out for a while before, but these young ladies who are here today are all direct descendants. Although they didn't mean to look down on Ren Yaoying or run against her verbally, Ren Yaoying always felt that others were treating Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua. She was warm, but she was very indifferent to her. After sitting for a while, she felt uncomfortable all over, and finally made an excuse to hide in the room.
Ren Yaoqi was listening to Liu Menghan and Chen Zhiyi debating whether the "Tiger Head Orchid" from the Liu family was better or the "Luoyang Red" from the Chen family was better. The concierge outside rushed in to report that there was a distinguished guest. arrive.
Ren Yaoqi wondered who would come here at this time. Except for one Mrs. Li, who had posted a post before, who couldn't come over because her natal brother had her son back to her natal family, all the others who received the post had arrived.
Ren Yaoqi was wondering, but saw a tall, slender woman with a hint of heroism appear at the gate of the courtyard.
Ren Yaoqi was overjoyed when he saw the visitor: "The county master?"
Everyone who was chatting and laughing softly was also taken aback by Xiao Jinglin who suddenly appeared here, but Ouyang Shi responded and said with a smile, "Yo, the county master is back?"
Everyone stood up and saluted Xiao Jinglin, Xiao Jinglin nodded: "I heard that there is a flower viewing party here, I'll come and have a look, you are free, don't worry about me."
Mrs Li hurriedly asked for more seats.
Ren Yaoqi greeted him with a smile, and said angrily, "When did you come back, Jinglin? Why didn't you say anything when you sent a letter?"
Xiao Jinglin also had a smile on her face: "What? Did it frighten you?"
Ren Yaoqi blinked: "How could it be a shock, a surprise. I thought you wouldn't be back until the middle of the year."
Xiao Jinglin nodded towards the girls who greeted her, and then said, "I came back early this morning and originally planned to see you tomorrow, but Xiao Jingxi said that you are holding a flower viewing party here today, let me come over and have a look. ."
Hearing Xiao Jinglin mention Xiao Jingxi, Ren Yaoqi paused.
Although she didn't know how Xiao Jingxi knew that her family was holding a flower party today, she could probably guess the intention of Xiao Jingxi for Xiao Jinglin to come over. The Li family and the others want to gain a firm foothold in Yunyang City. With the approval of the county master or the Yanbei Palace, they will be smoother in the future.
Xiao Jinglin didn't see the look on Ren Yaoqi's face. She looked at the bonsai around her. Although she couldn't see the difference between the precious flowers and those grown in the garden, she remembered that she had just brought them in a hurry. Xiao Jinglin was still hesitant to take out the pot that came over.
Hongying, who was following behind Xiao Jinglin, did not see the tangle on the face of the county master Xiao. She saw the county master looking at the flowers in the yard, and ran out to bring in the flowers they had left on the carriage.
When everyone saw County Master Xiao's maid holding flowers, they all looked over curiously.
"Huh? What kind of flower is this?" A young lady approached curiously.
Xiao Jinglin had a deep expression on her face.
"Oh, there are still thorns!" The little girl exclaimed while covering her fingers.
Liu Menghan and Chen Zhiyi looked at each other, and then said carefully, "This is... a cactus?"
"Huh? Cactus? Are cacti flowers?"
"Isn't this cactus blooming? It's... It's a flower..."
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jinglin and couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Jinglin nodded and said to everyone, "This is planted by my second brother. I saw that it was very rare to see this thing blooming, so I brought it here for fun."
When everyone heard the words, their attention was immediately attracted by Second Young Master Xiao.
Who is Second Young Master Xiao! That's an immortal character! The flowers that Second Young Master Xiao planted are definitely different from ordinary flowers! Even if it's just a pot of cactus in bloom.
So looking at this pot of cactus, suspicion turned into speculation.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jinglin teasingly. Others didn't know, but she knew that Xiao Jinglin's favorite thing to do was to use Xiao Jingxi as a shield.
After that, the sun got bigger, and Mrs. Li entertained the crowd again to the large flower hall that had been cleaned up before.
Ren Yaoqi looked for an opportunity to take Xiao Jinglin to his room to talk.
Although the two hadn't seen each other for two years, they exchanged letters from time to time, so there was no sense of strangeness.
It's just that Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jinglin and seemed to have grown a lot taller. Before, she was about the same height as her, but now she is half a head taller than her, and probably because of the frequent patrolling outside, Xiao Jinglin's complexion was slightly darker. But it made her look more and more distinct, with a beauty that was different from other boudoir daughters.
Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi but thought she was more beautiful than two years ago. Ren Yaoqi passed her fourteenth birthday a while ago, her facial features were more open than two years ago, and her appearance and temperament became more provocative. Especially today, the goose-yellow clothes complemented her fair and translucent skin, and she looked very beautiful.
However, County Master Xiao looked at Ren Yaoqi, compared her head, and said with some disgust, "Why are you so short?"
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help laughing and didn't care about her.
"Why did you come back early? I remember you said before that you would come back a few days before her birthday." Xiao Jinglin's birthday was on the 22nd of June, and Ren Yaoqi thought that she would not be back until the 10th of June at the earliest.
Xiao Jinglin said: "My mother said that there will be a lot of people who will come to my wedding ceremony this time, so let me come back earlier to prepare."
Ren Yaoqi nodded.
The county lord and 笄 of Yanbei Wangfu can be regarded as a major event in Yanbei. At that time, both Ningxia and the imperial court will send people to Yanbei to congratulate.
Now that the relationship between Yanbei, Ningxia, and the imperial court is very sensitive, it would be better if Xiao Jinglin came back earlier.
"By the way, Yun Wenfang seems to be back." Xiao Jinglin said suddenly.
Xiao Jinglin also occasionally mentioned Yun Wenfang in her correspondence with Ren Yaoqi. I heard that he is now the fifth-rank General Yingyang, and he has led a team of people and has made extraordinary achievements.
Ren Yaoqi just read Yun Wenfang's news and never commented.
Hearing Xiao Jinglin say that Yun Wenfang will come back, Ren Yaoqi just smiled.
In the past two years, Yun Wenfang should have also experienced a lot of things. Ren Yaoqi hopes that he can really grow up. As for them, there is no connection in this life, and there will be no relationship in the future.
If Xiao Jinglin didn't mention Yun Wenfang, Ren Yaoqi wouldn't think of him deliberately.
Seeing that Ren Yaoqi's attitude was flat, Xiao Jinglin did not continue to talk about Yun Wenfang. It's just that she had met Yun Wenfang several times when she was at the border. Although Yun Wenfang was a qualified general from the point of view of a soldier, Xiao Jinglin gradually changed her contempt for him.
But she can also see that people like Yun Wenfang are very stubborn and will not give up her goals easily, which is why she will tell Ren Yaoqi the news of Yun Wenfang. I just hope that Ren Yaoqi can know what to do.

Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile, "Why did you come back early? I remember you said before that you would come back a few days before your birthday."
Xiao Jinglin said blankly: "The author said that I should hurry back and help her sell her cuteness and raise the ticket. I saw that she was crying so badly, so I did a good deed that day."
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
