Those mamas were initially worried, but when Mammy Zhou told them what Ren Yaoqi had said to them, they were all pleasantly surprised. Bodhisattva heart.
Everyone knows that the servants in the gate of the mansion, except for the stewardess, are the maids who serve closely by the female masters.
The two girls in Ziweiyuan are both direct daughters. If the little maid selected at this time is outstanding, they will be kept as dowry maids. Even if they can't be dowry in the end, when they talk about marriage, they will be more noble than ordinary maids, and the host will give a lot of money for makeup.
Moreover, it was disgraceful for them to be sent back. If someone else entered the house, it means that they have a chance to turn over in the future, and other domestic servants will not step on them.
As for why Guan mama didn't have this grace, a few people understood after a little thought, and they couldn't help but start thinking that they must tell their girls well when they go back.
Because of this, when they were sent away the next day, none of them held any resentment against Mrs. Li, and begged Mother Zhou to kowtow in front of Mrs. Li.
Ren Yaoqi didn't intervene in this matter anymore, she didn't need to worry about picking a maid to train the maid, she had Zhou mama to do it herself.
Aunt Fang was ill again, and Mrs. Li excused her from greeting her, so she started to stay out of the house.
Ren Shimin got busy, he started to write Spring Festival couplets and peach talismans. Of course, Mr. Ren San's couplets and peach talismans are very particular, from the selection of paper to the engraving of talismans, without the hands of others. The output is not high, so it is hard to find a lot of money.
This morning, Ren Yaoqi came back from Ren Yijun.
Ren Yijun likes to find Ren Yaoqi to play chess, but the weather outside is extremely cold and his health is not good.
Ren Yaoqi was thinking about the past life, and he was a little more tolerant of Ren Yijun's eccentric temper, so he took the initiative to send him to the door every few days to discuss with him, so that he would not go to the Ziweiyuan in the wind and snow.
Walking slowly on the nine-curved corridor, Ren Yaoqi held a small Hetian jade and blue-and-white pattern hand stove in his hand.
It's just that the palm-sized hand warmer was forcibly stuffed by Ren Yijun before she left.
She saw that it was a valuable item and didn't want it, and Ren Yijun took the stove with a gloomy face and was about to smash it on the ground, so frightened that she rushed up and snatched it.
It was also the first time she knew that someone could express a kindness so... awkward.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.
When he looked up, he saw Yang Cheng, the big butler of the outer courtyard, bending over and respectfully leading the two people towards this side. Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but stop.
Walking behind Yang Cheng were two 12- or 13-year-old teenagers. The one on the right was wearing a red fox cloak with a cyan-colored treasure pattern. He looked handsome and upright. .
The young man on the left was wearing a sable fur robe with narrow sleeves and holding a whip in his right hand. He is slender, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and his facial features are extremely clear and handsome. When he laughed, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked to the side. This expression seemed a little malicious to others, but it was pleasing to the eyes on his face.
The two teenagers who were walking and talking and laughing leisurely were stunned when they saw Ren Yaoqi walking over.
When Ren Yaoqi came back to his senses, he quickly retracted the complicated look in his eyes.
"Fifth young lady." The big housekeeper crossed his hands and saluted when he saw Ren Yaoqi. Seeing that Ren Yaoqi didn't move, he looked back at the two young men and said hurriedly, "Fifth young lady, it's the young master of the Qiu family who is here. The other is his classmate Wen Gongzi."
Hearing this, Ren Yaoqi lowered his eyes slightly and lowered his head, slowly bowing towards them.
She remembered them, and remembered them deeply.
The young master of the Qiu family, Qiu Yun, is the grandson of her grandmother Ren, the old lady's elder brother. Now he is studying in the academy in Yunyang City. Since the Qiu family in Jizhou has to pass through Baihe Town from Yunyang City, Qiu Yun is also a regular visitor of the Ren family. .
And the one beside him was not Young Master Wen, but Yun Wenfang, the second young master of the Yun family in Yunyang City.
The reason why she remembered Yun Wenfang, an irrelevant outsider, was because they used to be mortal enemies.
She heard that some people are born with different characters, so she and Yun Wenfang must be in this category. The two started pinching each other from the first time they met, and when she finally left the Ren family, they were slapped together by him, which made her memory deep and hard to forget.
She can't remember the exact time when she first met him in the last life, and it seems that it was also in this corridor. She ran out of the Ronghua courtyard angrily because of a quarrel with Ren Yaohua. Because he was running in a hurry, he accidentally bumped into Yun Wenfang.
Then Yun Wenfang whistled frivolously in front of everyone.
This whistle made everyone present "puchi" to laugh, and it also made her lose face.
She was so wronged at the time that she raised her hand in exasperation and gave him a loud slap in the face, then left the crowd and ran away crying.
At that time, I was young and impulsive, without thinking about the consequences.
As a result, she was locked up by the old lady Ren for half a month in the ancestral hall, and she also lived in that cold ancestral hall.
On the evening of the New Year's Eve, there was laughter and laughter outside, and she was not even allowed to be visited. Because the mother-in-law outside forgot to bring her food, she was cold, hungry and scared, and huddled under the table to cry.
He slipped in from nowhere, tugged at her hair, raised the corner of his mouth and laughed like a devil: "Kow three times to the master, and call him 'good brother' three times, and then the master and Qiu Yun will go to intercede for you. How about letting you out?"
She hated him to the point of death at the time, she didn't even think about it after hearing this, she jumped up and scratched his face, which resulted in four bloodstains on his neck.
In the end, in a rage, he was dragged away by Qiu Yun.
Only then did she feel scared, thinking that she would be punished again. Fortunately, that night her father begged Mrs. Ren to take her out.
A few days later, she occasionally heard Qiu Yun's servant say that the reason why the second young master of the Yun family had lived in Baihe Town under a pseudonym for so long, even during the Chinese New Year, was because he had caused a big disaster in Yunyang City and The brother-in-law of a court official was beaten into a fool and was secretly hidden by Mrs. Yun.
The old lady of the Yun family and the old lady of Ren are distant cousins. Old Madam Yun's father was originally the patriarch of the Qiu family.
The old patriarch Yinqiu had only one daughter and no son, and finally adopted the old lady's elder brother.
After the death of the old patriarch of the Qiu clan, Qiu Xinmin, the elder brother of the old lady, took over as the patriarch.
Qiu Xinmin was adopted by the old patriarch when he was almost 20 years old. At that time, the old lady Yun had already married into Yunyang City. Mrs. Ren's house was originally a side branch of the Qiu family, so the relationship between the two sides was only general. The relationship between Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Yun is even further, and there is almost no contact on weekdays. Therefore, the second young master of the Yun family would come to the Ren family to avoid the limelight, which was not expected by others.
After she knew the news, she quietly revealed Yunwen's placement in the Ren family.
A few days later, the eldest young master of the Yun family came over and took Yun Wenfang away.
She thought she was doing it carefully and no one would know. Before he left, he suddenly leaned into her ear and sneered: "Ren Yaoqi, you will regret it! Let's wait and see!"
She was ordered by the old lady Ren to be grounded and not allowed to leave the Ziwei Courtyard for half a step.
In the following years, she hardly stayed at home, so she was at peace with Yun Wenfang.
Later, when her father died, the Ren family wanted to give her to Jianjun Lu. When her mother was seriously ill, she asked Mammy Zhou to pack up and help her escape from the Ren family to find her grandfather's family in Yunyang City.
When she didn't want to escape halfway, she met Yun Wenfang who came out of the city on a horse. She knelt down and begged him to let her live, but he was knocked unconscious and thrown on the horse's back.
After a long time, when she woke up again, she was already lying on the carriage sent by the Ren family to find her, and Yun Wenfang disappeared.
At that time, she was in despair, and there was only one thought in her heart: if she met Yun Wenfang again in her lifetime, she would definitely want him to die!
Now that time has passed, he is standing in front of him again.
Still handsome facial features, wicked smiling face, dark eyes as bright as the stars on a summer night.
But it couldn't arouse her emotions any longer.
The hatred she had in her youth now seemed childish to her.
In this life, she doesn't want to have anything to do with Yun Wenfang anymore.
