Zhou Wen also chatted with her about his ambitions and promised to treat her well in the future.
Ren Yaoying learned from the conversation with Zhou Wen that although Zhou's father was only a small scribe in the Yanbei Wangfu, and his ancestors had never been a high-ranking official, the Zhou family had been the direct descendant of the Yanbei Wangfu since Zhou Wen's great-grandfather. It is very trusted by the Yanbei Palace, and the Zhou family is considered a senior in the Yanbei Palace. Because Zhou Wen is a smart person, he is a leader among the younger generation. As long as he can be admitted to Juren, the Yanbei Palace will definitely reuse him in the future. As long as he does not make mistakes, the future will definitely be bright.
Ren Yaoying is just a teenage girl. It is impossible to say that she is not at all tempted by Zhou Wen, who is so affectionate and affectionate. He Kuan and Zhou Wen are good-looking and have a gentle and funny manner. So at that time, in the face of Zhou Wen's affection, Ren Yaoying was still shaken, and she also carefully considered the possibility of marrying Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen is very sure of marrying Ren Yaoying, and Mrs. Zhou has a close relationship with Ren Yaoying's aunt and takes great care of her. Zhou Wen likes her, and Zhou Rong is simple-minded and obeys her. If Zhou Wen can really earn fame at a young age, plus the Zhou family's qualifications in the Yanbei Palace, the future will be good.
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoying felt that it would be good if she married Zhou Wen.
But when Ren Yaoying returned to Ren's house with a happy mood, she heard the broken mouth of a few old women sitting together hiding from the rain and eating melon seeds. Those wives are talking about the big families in Yanbei, especially the Lei family and Lei Ting, the head of the Lei family. Now everyone in the Ren family knows that the third lady is going to marry into the Lei family to be the wife of the family, so they mentioned the Lei family back then. The scenery of the Lei family is all about honor, as if the scenery of the Lei family is the scenery of the Ren family, it is very invisible.
Ren Yaoying stopped when she heard it, she silently stood under the veranda for a long time, and did not move. After returning to her yard, when Ren Yaoying remembered what Zhou Wen had said to her before, her joy and complacency faded unconsciously.
An autumn rain seems to be prepared for this autumn. When Mr. Ren San came back from the proctoring exam, the sky cleared up again, and it even suddenly became hot again.
I don't know if it was because the weather was so fickle these days that Mr. Ren San fell ill on the day he came back. It wasn't very serious, but he had a cough and a stuffy nose. Mr. Ren San doesn't like taking medicine. Li only instructed the kitchen to use Chuanbei stewed pears for Mr. Ren San to eat, even this. Mr. Ren San was not willing to eat it either. Every time, Ren Yaoqi personally delivered it to him and stared at him to eat before giving up.
Mr. Ren San held his breath and dried a bowl of Chuanbei stewed pears with a gu dong gu dong, and the wrinkled face made Ren Yaoqi laugh. After he finished eating, he quickly poked him with a drill. A candied fruit.
Mr. Ren San glanced at it and said with disgust, "Don't eat it! Rinse my mouth with tea!"
Ren Yaoqi then instructed the maid to bring the tea and eat the candied fruit by herself.
After rinsing his mouth, Mr. Ren said, "Tomorrow I will go to the academy." Mr. Ren stayed at home for two consecutive days because of his illness. Just after saying this, Mr. Ren San sneezed heavily, the tea bowl in his hand almost fell to the ground, and his nose was running out. He immediately threw the bowl in his hand on the table, took out a handkerchief and covered it with nose. Very embarrassed.
Ren Yaoqi said, "Does Daddy want the students to see him like this?"
Imagining sneezing and runny nose in front of the students, Mr. Ren San immediately stopped talking.
He paused for a while before saying, "There are a lot of people who are sick this time. In the past few days in Qiuwei, some people fainted in the exam room, and they had to end the exam halfway." Having said this, Mr. Ren San shook his head regretfully.
Although he doesn't value fame and fame, he is a teacher at last, knowing that it is not easy for students to study hard.
Ren Yaoqi comforted: "There is still a chance for the next exam."
Ren Shimin shook his head: "Brother Nan Ming thinks it's a pity. That's his proud disciple."
The name of Nanming in the mouth of Mr. Ren is Mr. Liu Xia of Yunyang Academy. Liu Xia is about the same age as Ren Shimin. The two have similar temperaments, so they became friends. Mrs. Liu and Li have a good relationship.
Ren Yaoqi said with a smile: "Mr. Liu loves talents, and he has many proud disciples."
Ren Shimin glared at Ren Yaoqi: "This is the one he is most proud of, and he said before that he would learn to paint with me. But now it seems that this young master Zhou is so weak and unpretentious, I am afraid that he will not be able to suffer. Forget it." When the third master Ren said that others were weak, he obviously forgot that he was still ill.
Ren Yaoqi raised his eyebrows: "Zhou?"
Ren Shimin nodded and said, "I heard Brother Nanming mention it a few times before, and it seems to be Zhou Wen. After sitting in the examination room for half a day, I fainted, and I can only wait three years for another examination."
Ren Yaoqi was stunned, Zhou Wen
Thinking of Zhou Wen's rush to meet Ren Yaoying in Baihe Town in the rain the day before the exam, Ren Yaoqi was a little dumbfounded, and really didn't know what to say.
Ren Yaoying also knew that Zhou Wen fainted in the examination room and was carried out, and Zhou Rong wrote to her.
Zhou Rong said in the letter that Zhou Wen had been ill for three days, and the fever finally subsided, but because he couldn't stand the blow, he was a little decadent. Although Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were so anxious that their hair had turned white, they did not dare to mention Qiu Wei's incident, for fear that Zhou Wen would be hit by hearing about it, and the Zhou family had been miserable for the past few days.
Zhou Rong knew her brother's thoughts, so she wrote to Ren Yaoying and asked Ren Yaoying if she could find a way to go to her house once, even if she couldn't meet Zhou Wen directly and let Zhou Wen know that she went, maybe she would get better immediately .
Ren Yaoying wrote back to Zhou Rong, perfunctory, saying that she was banned by her grandmother because of the last time she went out, and she really couldn't walk away.
Zhou Rong immediately replied to the letter. Zhou Wen has been smooth sailing since he was a child and has never encountered such a big blow, so he was a little helpless. The Zhou family was very worried. Zhou Rong meant that if Ren Yaoying couldn't go to Zhou's family one If you go, can you write a letter to Zhou Wen to comfort him.
After Ren Yaoying read the letter, she set fire to it and burned it. She didn't reply to Zhou Rong, and threw the jade card Zhou Wen gave her into the bottom drawer of the dresser.
It's September in the blink of an eye. Yanbei has always been cold early. After the Double Ninth Festival, the sky will get colder day by day. Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival on September 9 is a lively festival in Yunyang City. After this excitement, everyone likes it. The cat doesn't want to go out much at home.
Every year at this time, the streets and alleys of Yunyang City are full of flower farmers pushing wheelbarrows selling potted chrysanthemums, and young wives and old wives walking around the streets with a basket to buy cornel bags. Large and small wine shops, tea houses, and restaurants began to sell chrysanthemum wine, five-color chrysanthemum cakes, and various dishes with chrysanthemum as condiment. From aristocratic families to poor farmers, they all like to invite friends and accompany them to go hiking.
On this year's Double Ninth Festival, Mrs. Xu discussed with the wives of Yunyang Academy, and wanted to hold a larger climbing festival in the southern suburbs outside the city. Mrs. Li was also called by Mrs. Xu in the capital to discuss.
On this day, Mrs. Li went to Mrs. Xu's place, and Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua chose the materials for making chrysanthemum wine with several maids in the yard at home.
They have received a lot of chrysanthemum wine and five-color chrysanthemum cakes from other families in the past few days. It is a custom in Yanbei to give food to each other two days before the Double Ninth Festival. It was only when they returned the gift that Li was in a bit of trouble. The five-color chrysanthemum cake can be made now, but the chrysanthemum wine needs to be brewed on September 9 of the previous year. I bought a few jars of chrysanthemum wine and bottled it as a gift.
The wine delivery means that the relationship between the two families will be "long-lasting". Li felt that his sincerity was not enough, so he instructed Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua to bring a few jars of chrysanthemum wine with their maids and wait until next year's Double Ninth Festival. people.
Ren Yaoqi was bringing a few maids to personally select rehmannia, angelica, wolfberry, and Xi'er with a smile on his face and ran in to report: "Miss Three, Miss Five, the Lei family sent someone to bring wine, My wife and Mother Zhou are not at home, so I don't know how to return the gift?" As she said that, she gave Ren Yaohua a grinning look.
Ren Yaoqi also glanced at Ren Yaohua and said with a smile: "There was no wine at home last year, so I can only buy some in the wine shop."
Ren Yaohua frowned, then put down the small copper scale in his hand, stood up and said, "I'll go take a look." He looked up and met his sister's somewhat playful gaze.
Ren Yaohua glared at Ren Yaoqi and turned to go out.
Xiangqin winked at Ren Yaoqi and smiled before going out with her. Ren Yaoqi felt a little appalling because of her funny appearance, so she could only hold back her laughter.
When the Li family was not at home, Ren Yaohua personally went to deal with the relationship between the Lei family, and Ren Yaoqi did not follow her, but went with her. She also understood these days that Ren Yaohua did not reject this marriage, Ren Yaohua was satisfied with herself, and Ren Yaoqi had nothing to say.
After a long time, Xi'er secretly came back and reported to Ren Yaoqi that Ren Yaohua went to the kitchen and personally led people to steam two baskets of chrysanthemum cakes, and also specially ordered people to make an extra basket of chrysanthemum cakes in the shape of a bunny for Lei Paner.
The ceremony of the Double Ninth Festival is not important, what is important is nothing but the will. The Ren family does not have chrysanthemum wine, and Ren Yaohua can only work hard from sincerity.
Ren Yaoqi listened but did not smile, and then solemnly ordered a few daring maids not to mention this matter in front of Ren Yaohua. She was afraid that Ren Yaohua would become angry, and asked her to vent her anger.
While talking and laughing, someone outside reported that the Yanbei Palace also sent wine and cakes.
Ren Yaoqi also brought some wine and snacks to the Yanbei Palace early in the morning, which was considered a courtesy, but he didn't expect that there would be a return.
And along with the wine and cakes, there was a letter from Xiao Jinglin.
Ren Yaoqi took the letter and walked into the study before opening it and looking at it.
Xiao Jinglin wrote about Ningxia.
