Ren Yaoqi lowered his eyes, hiding the complicated look in his eyes.
"The reason why I survived in the end is because... because..." It is because I always think of you over and over again, dream of you, I have never forgotten the purpose of leaving home to join the army, and in the end I can always grit my teeth and survive.
In the end, Yun Wenfang still didn't say it. He was a proud person, and he was never used to begging for alms humbly. For what he wanted, he directly took action. It was only in front of Ren Yaoqi that he suffered the biggest downfall in his life.
Yun Wenfang didn't go on, and Ren Yaoqi wouldn't be stupid enough to ask questions, and the two fell silent.
Ren Yaoqi originally thought that Yun Wenfang had been at the border for three years, and his vision and temperament were definitely not comparable to the impulsive and irritable teenager, and his obsession with her would fade away. After all, they have never had a deep relationship in this life. As long as she doesn't ask, ignore or respond, Yun Wenfang's teenage affection will be unsustainable.
But Yun Wenfang in front of him gave Ren Yaoqi a real headache.
"My engagement with Jiang Yuanniang will soon be over." Yun Wenfang finally spoke with a cold face, his tone sounded a bit cold, but with some grievances and stubbornness that he didn't want to admit.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while and wanted to say something. At this time, someone hurried over here. Ren Yaoqi turned his head and looked, but it turned out that it was Mrs. Xu's maid Shijin.
Ren Yaoqi thought that Mrs. Xu had something else to do with her, so she sent Shijin over. She glanced at Yun Wenfang and saw that there were two maids, Apple and Mulberry, between them, so that people would not misunderstand them. He just stood there and didn't move. But he didn't want to walk in. After salute, he said to Yun Wenfang: "Second Young Master Yun, our wife has something to ask you, so let the servants come and invite you over."
Yun Wenfang frowned upon hearing this, and suppressed his impatience: "What is Madam Xu looking for from me?"
Yun Wenfang finally saw Ren Yaoqi, and was very unhappy when the conversation was interrupted, but Mrs. Xu was well-known in Yanbei and said to be Ren Yaoqi's husband, so Yun Wenfang was not good at being angry with the young master. .
Shi Jin lowered his head and said, "Madam heard that you were also nearby when Miss Guo's family fell into the water. I want to ask you something."
Yun Wenfang heard that it was for this matter, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What is there to ask, I didn't push people down, they like to toss, just let them toss."
He could clearly see the process of Guo Yujiao's falling into the water, but he had absolutely no interest in getting involved in the intrigue of those women, especially if he wanted to use his intrigue to disgust him.
"This... I also ask Young Master Yun and the slave to meet our wife." Shi Jin said carefully.
Yun Wenfang glanced at Ren Yaoqi and frowned. He didn't want to go, but Mrs. Xu sent a personal maid to invite him.
Ren Yaoqi wanted to take this opportunity to get away, but she was afraid of angering Yun Wenfang and causing him to attack on the spot.
While they were in a stalemate, they saw Xiao Jinglin turn around from the corner.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Jinglin? Why are you here?"
Xiao Jinglin came over, nodded at Ren Yaoqi, then glanced at Yun Wenfang blankly, and then said to Ren Yaoqi, "I've been waiting for you for a while, everything is over? Then go out first. ."
Although the words were directed at Ren Yaoqi, Xiao Jinglin's eyes were looking at Yun Wenfang vaguely.
Yun Wenfang narrowed his eyes, sneered, and turned his head away.
When he was at Jiajing Pass, Yun Wenfang felt Xiao Jinglin's hostility towards him. Although Xiao Jinglin would not use her identity to stumble him on major matters, there were still some small difficulties against him at the beginning. . Yun Wenfang naturally doesn't like Xiao Jinglin, but Xiao Jinglin's position in the army is higher than him, and he has made many military exploits in recent years, and he is known as a prestige among ordinary soldiers and generals. Yun Wenfang was trained by the army for several years. After all, Xiao Jinglin will still be somewhat restrained in front of her.
Ren Yaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave with Xiao Jinglin when she saw that it was not Hongying but Nan Xing who was following behind Xiao Jinglin. Because Nan Xing's clothes were still the same as before, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Xiao Jinglin had already dragged Ren Yaoqi away. Yun Wenfang watched them leave with a cold face, and then followed Shijin to see Mrs. Xu.
After Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin got into the carriage, Xiao Jinglin said, "I knew Yun Wenfang was there, I should have come to you earlier. Did he just embarrass you?"
Ren Yaoqi shook her head, and she didn't want to mention Yun Wenfang's matter more: "You came after a few words. By the way, did you come to see me for something?"
Xiao Jinglin said expressionlessly: "Xiao Jingxi asked me to come, let me go with you to pick up two people from the palace." Xiao Jinglin glanced at Nan Xing.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but laugh: "It's fine if I send people over, and I'll let you go."
Xiao Jinglin pursed her lips and didn't speak, but she thought in her heart that she was fortunate to be here today, otherwise she still didn't know how Yun Wenfang would bully others. But then again, Xiao Jingxi deliberately asked Nan Xing to lead her to pick him up. Wasn't it really because he knew that Yun Wen had brought Bao Ping Hutong
"It's really useless!" Xiao Jinglin pouted and muttered to herself.
Ren Yaoqi didn't hear clearly, and asked curiously, "Jinglin, what did you say?"
Xiao Jinglin said without changing her face, "I said I just have nothing to do." Xiao Jingxi is really useless!
In fact, Xiao Jingxi is quite wrong, even if he deliberately asked Xiao Jinglin to come to the rescue, it does not mean that he is afraid of Yun Wenfang, he just thinks too much for Ren Yaoqi.
Nan Xing silently glanced at Xiao Jinglin and said nothing. Those who practice martial arts are very smart.
Xianwang's mansion is not far from Yunyang Academy, so it didn't take long to arrive. This was the first time Xiao Jinglin came back to present to the palace, and the Rong family asked Ji Fuying to come out to welcome them.
Now that I see Ji Fuying again, Ren Yaoqi will bow her knees as a junior and call her Aunt Ji. The marriage between Ji Fuying and Li Tianyou is scheduled for early next year, although not many people know about it.
Xiao Jinglin was very respectful and courteous in front of Mr. Rong. After Ren Yaoqi explained his intention to Mr. Rong, Mrs. Rong was a little surprised, but she didn't say anything and asked people to bring Leshan and Leshui over.
Leshan and Leshui are eleven years old, but because the two sisters have practiced martial arts, they look half a head taller than little girls of the same age, and their hands and feet are also slender. Although they are not as weak and unpretentious as the ordinary inner court maids, they do not look rude because they are taught etiquette and rules by the people who are dedicated to the palace.
Xiao Jinglin also looked at them carefully for a long time, with some interest in her eyes. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she can naturally see that Leshan and Leshui are two good seedlings. Earn your own income. Therefore, no matter how the Princess Xiao despised her brother Xiao Jingxi openly and secretly on weekdays, many times brothers and sisters are brothers and sisters, and many things in common are innate.
Xiao Jinglin sat down for a while before bidding farewell. Rong left Ren Yaoqi to speak, and Ren Yaoqi could only send Xiao Jinglin out first.
After sending Xiao Jinglin back, Mr. Rong said without any hesitation, "Is Xiao Jingxi going?"
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
Mr. Rong shook his head, tapped Ren Yaoqi's forehead lightly, and said helplessly, "You..."
Ren Yaoqi lowered his head and said softly, "I think there's nothing wrong with letting Leshan and Leshui learn more."
Rong raised his eyebrows: "Then learn to learn and become a member of their Yanbei Palace?"
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a moment, and Mr. Rong was both amusing and helpless: "You think what else the Xian Wangfu can teach that the Yanbei Wangfu can teach?"
Ren Yaoqi blinked, a little dumbfounded.
Rong Shi sighed: "It's nothing more than the taboos of the Yanbei Wangfu, the relationship between people in the Yanbei Wangfu, the relationship between the Yanbei Wangfu, the Yanbei Wangfu..."
Listening to Rong's count down one by one, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but gradually blushed.
"You really don't understand or fake don't understand?" Rong Shi gave Ren Yaoqi a sidelong glance.
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
Rong Shi actually laughed, and after laughing, he sighed again: "He's really a caring person, all this has been thought out for you."
Leshan and Leshui stayed in the Yanbei Palace for a year before being given to Ren Yaoqi by the princess or Xiao Jinglin. The two maids not only improved their status by a few grades, but later let Ren Yaoqi's maid face the Yanbei Palace. He will be more confident when he is a servant, and let Leshan and Le Shui get to know the interpersonal relationship of the Yanbei Wangfu first.
Xiao Jingxi has always been the master of three steps, but he didn't just bring Hongying's twin sister Nan Xing to appear in front of Ren Yaoqi.
Even Mr. Rong, who was not optimistic about Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi, couldn't help but feel a little moved. And Mr. Rong can also see that Xiao Jingxi's boy is not shaving his head and is hot. With Ren Yaoqi's cleverness, doesn't he really understand Xiao Jingxi's thoughts
"Qi'er, have you really decided?" Rong patted Ren Yaoqi's head and suddenly said seriously.
Mrs. Rong has talked with Ren Yaoqi about Xiao Jingxi more than once. Mrs. Rong's attitude has always been disapproving. Even now, she hopes that her granddaughter can find an ordinary and smooth marriage, not seeking wealth. Expensive, just for peace and smoothness.
Ren Yaoqi froze for a while, and finally sighed, holding Rong's hand, her tone was very calm: "Yes, grandmother, I have decided."
Instead, Mr. Rong was stunned by her frankness. In the end, she could only helplessly shake her head with a wry smile. She thought for a while before sighing, "That's all."
Ren Yaoqi was next to Mrs Rong, holding her arm, leaning her head gently on her shoulder.
Rong patted her head and said softly, "With your grandfather and grandmother here, you won't be wronged this time." Her only daughter has been wronged for half her life, and her granddaughter will never go the same way as her daughter.
A few days after the stove-heating meeting, a big event happened in Yunyang City that made people talk about it.
The second young master of the Yun family wants to break off the marriage.
The incident was caused by the second young master Yun's fiancée, Miss Jiang Jiaba, who pushed Miss Guo's eldest into the lake at the furnace meeting. Naturally, the Guo family had to go to the Jiang family for the theory.
Originally, this was just a conflict between the two girls because of a disagreement.
It turned out that the eldest lady of the Guo family had been infatuated with the second young master Yun three years ago. Although she knew that the second young master Yun had made a marriage contract with Miss Jiang Ba, she still refused to give up. The Guo family originally wanted to answer the request of the Xiaqiu family, but Miss Guo was unhappy when she found out.
The second young master of the Yun family happened to return to Yunyang City at this time. The eldest Miss Guo has seen the second young master of the Yun family several times these days. Although she has not seen each other for three years, Miss Guo's admiration for the second young master Yun has increased rather than decreased. It's almost to the point where I don't want to eat or drink.
On the day of the stove-warming meeting, the eldest lady of the Guo family learned that the second young master of Yun would also go there, so she followed suit for whatever reason, and happened to meet the two sisters of the Jiang family.
Miss Guo's family originally had some friendship with Miss Jiang's eighth, but she hated Miss Jiang's eight because of the engagement between Miss Jiang's eighth and the second son of Yun's second son, and cut off contact with her in recent years. But for some unknown reason, she still invited the two sisters of the Jiang family to swim in the lake.
In the end, the eldest Miss Guo family and the eighth miss of the Jiang family still quarreled because of the second young master of the Yun family, and the eighth Miss Jiang family pushed the eldest Miss Guo into the lake in anger.
If that's the case, it's just a trivial matter of two little girls fighting for each other and being jealous. After everyone heard it, they laughed and passed away. It's not good for Second Young Master Yun to break off the marriage because of this matter.
The real trouble came after Miss Guo's aunt, Mrs. Meng, once again interrogated Miss Guo and several of her personal maids. It turned out that Miss Guo called the two Jiang sisters out to swim in the lake at the stove-warming meeting, not to brag. It's as simple as blowing the cold wind and arguing.
Miss Guo's family knew a secret of Miss Jiang's eighth by chance. She called people out for a showdown.
In the Qianjin Banquet a few years ago, the reason why Miss Jiang Jialiu was not able to participate was not because she was not acclimatized, but because Miss Jiang Jialiu poisoned her cousin, making Miss Jiang Jialiu's face covered with red rashes. In the end, he could only nest in another courtyard in Yunyang City.
No one knew how Miss Guo knew about this matter and had the evidence. She just wanted to turn the Jiang sisters against each other or force the Jiang family to take the initiative to break up the engagement, but in the end the secret was revealed by Mrs. Meng. come out.
The world was in an uproar.
If the petty fights between little girls are not a big deal, it would be a taboo to frame a compatriot for a marriage. Such a vicious and underhanded woman will naturally not have a good family willing to let her in.
Therefore, Second Young Master Yun quit the job first after learning about it.
The Yun family is naturally not easily swayed by gossip. Old Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Yun sent people to investigate what happened three years ago, and they found evidence that Jiang Yuanniang had harmed Jiang Qianniang.
Three years ago, Mrs. Yun also suspected Jiang Qianniang's illness, and sent someone to investigate. As a result, the doubts that were hidden three years ago were exposed three years later, and Jiang Yuanniang could not deny it.
Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Yun were also very angry.
The second young master Yun proposed to dissolve the marriage contract, but the elders of the Yun family had no choice but to send someone to ask the Jiang family to negotiate.
The Jiang family was also going through a big storm at this time.
Jiang Yuanniang and Jiang Qianniang's great-grandfather, Jiang Zhenwen, is very old. For the past year, he has spent most of his time in bed and not asking about foreign affairs. Just a few days ago, Jiang Zhenwen suddenly opened an ancestral hall and expressed in front of several elders that he would take the patriarch out of the house. The position was given to his eldest grandson Jiang Yan.
Jiang Zhenwen has two direct sons, the eldest son Jiang Shi died early, and most of the affairs of the Jiang family have been decided by the second son Jiang Huai. Although Jiang Huai does not have the name of the patriarch, he acts as the patriarch. Jiang Shisheng, who died young, has a son, Jiang Yan, who is Jiang Qianniang's father. As a scholar, Jiang Zhenwen values the etiquette that his concubines and concubines are different and orderly, so his preferred candidate for the patriarch is not his second son. But his own eldest grandson.
Jiang Huai, who has been the head of the Jiang family for so many years, is naturally unwilling to give up his position to his nephew, so three years ago, Jiang Yuanniang tried her best to win the Yun family as an ally for her room.
No one thought that the big room who had been following the second room for so many years would have a turnaround, and the marriage contract between the second room of the Jiang family and the Yun family also happened to go wrong at this juncture.
Jiang Zhenwen, the old man of the Jiang family, became ill within a few days after returning from the ancestral hall. Sister Jiang Yuanniang and Jiang Qianniang are also going back to Shunzhou to visit the doctor. It is very likely that the old man will not survive this winter.
Regarding Jiang Yuanniang's poisoning of the sisters, there has been a lot of commotion outside. If it happened three years ago, she might be able to find a way to cover up with her mother or find someone to be a scapegoat. It was only later revealed that when the relationship between Jiang's family and the second room was tense, Jiang Yuanniang was speechless. From this, you can also see the cautiousness and forbearance of the people behind the layout.
The day before the Jiang sisters left Yunyang City, Yun Wen saw the maid next to Jiang Qianniang in the wing of a restaurant.
The maid lowered her head and expressed her master's gratitude to Yun Wenfang.
Yun Wenfang didn't even look at the maid: "Everyone takes what they need, and I haven't done anything except the marriage with Jiang Yuanniang three years ago, so don't put the hat on your father."
The maid was stunned when she heard the words, and hurriedly said, "That's not what my master meant..."
Yun Wenfang raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and said coldly, "I don't care what your master means. You go back and tell her to reassure her that my marriage contract with Jiang Yuanniang has ended, and the Yun family will not interfere in your affairs. In the struggle between Fang and Second Fang, if Jiang Yan really has the ability to take the position of the head of the Jiang family, the Yun family will not anger them because of what happened today, and I have done what I promised her."
Yun Wenfang doesn't like Jiang Yuanniang, it doesn't mean that he has any good impression of Jiang Qianniang.
Jiang Qianniang knew that Jiang Yuanniang had poisoned her three years ago, but she covered it up for Jiang Yuanniang when the Yun family went to investigate the matter, just to give Jiang Yuanniang a fatal blow at a critical moment.
Yun Wenfang knew about this early in the morning, so he agreed to cooperate with Jiang Qianniang. Three years ago, he needed a woman to help him keep his fiancee position, and three years later, he needed a reason to let this fiancee get out.
Jiang Qianniang used Guo Yujiao to deal with Jiang Yuanniang's affairs. Although Yun Wenfang did not intervene, he could see clearly that he was very tired of the struggle between these women, especially when Jiang Qianniang used Guo Yujiao to implicate him, which made him a little uncomfortable. Joy. At the furnace meeting that day, when he first met Ren Yaoqi, he left without saying a few words. It was for this reason that he did not want Ren Yaoqi to be involved in the struggle of the Jiang sisters.
Yun Wenfang felt that since his engagement with Jiang Yuanniang was about to be dissolved, the cooperative relationship between him and Jiang Qianniang was over.
The maid actually wanted to say a few more words, but seeing Yun Wenfang's attitude, she didn't dare to say anything more, and in the end she could only resign.
At this moment, in the Jiang's other courtyard, Jiang Qianniang looked at Jiang Yuanniang, who was crying with rain and pear blossoms, with complicated eyes. When Jiang Yuanniang had cried enough, she gently patted her on the back and comforted her gently: "You my sister. For so many years, I have believed in you. When I go back to my great-grandfather, I will speak for you, so you can feel at ease. "
Jiang Qianniang's voice was as gentle and tolerant as ever, and she couldn't hear the slightest resentment.
The Jiang sisters left Yunyang City the next day.
Shortly after the Jiang sisters left, Yun Wenfang and Jiang Yuanniang's marriage contract was officially dissolved, and the second young master Yun got what he wanted, but Jiang Yuanniang finally came to nothing.
Without the backing of the Yun family, Jiang Huai would have less troubles when he competed with his nephew for the patriarch's position. Although he has controlled the Jiang family for many years, Jiang Yan has the support of Mr. Jiang and some elders of the Jiang family. The Jiang family runs an academy, and they value a justifiable person more than ordinary people. And over the years, Jiang Yan has listened to Jiang Huai's second uncle on the surface, but in fact he has also played a lot of secret games. Like his father, Jiang Yan is not a mediocre person.
Therefore, the Jiang family fought for half a year. After the death of the old man, Jiang Qianniang's father, Jiang Yan, took over as the patriarch.
