After sitting for a long time, Xiao Qiao said to Lei Pan'er, "Pan'er, it's getting late. I have to ask the maids to pack up and go back later, okay?"
Lei Pan'er pouted, obviously not very happy, but she didn't refute Lei Pan'er in person.
On the other hand, Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile, "Where is Pan'er going to pack up?"
Lei Pan'er looked at Xiao Qiao's and said to Ren Yaoqi, "My aunt told me to move to her yard to live with her."
Xiao Qiao touched Lei Pan'er's head and said warmly, "Pan'er always lives in her second uncle's yard, I'm afraid it's not very convenient, but I just want someone to be my company, and I take care of her more than ever. It's much easier for her second uncle to take care of her."
Lei Pan'er muttered in a low voice: "Second uncle doesn't think Pan'er is troublesome, second uncle likes Pan'er the most."
"Then Pan'er doesn't want to live with her aunt?" Xiao Qiao's face deliberately became serious, "But what did Pan'er promise her aunt before she came out?"
Lei Pan'er glanced at Xiao Qiao's face that was said to be very similar to his own mother, and said aggrieved: "Pan'er is not unwilling, just..."
Xiao Qiao interrupted her with a smile: "Since Pan'er is not unwilling, then this matter is decided like this?"
Ren Yaoqi looked at them and interjected with a smile: "I heard that it's not suitable for children to move the bed when the autumn is dry. It's a big deal if you accidentally get sick. If you want to move the place, it's better to delay it for a month or two."
When Lei Pan'er heard this, she blinked her big eyes and looked at Ren Yaoqi, and then at Xiao Qiao's.
Xiao Qiao frowned and seemed a little unhappy: "Why didn't I know there was such a statement? Where did Miss Ren hear it?"
Ren Yaoqi didn't take it seriously, smiled and said: "I heard what my aunt said, she only has a single seedling of my little cousin. The baby is tight, for fear of not taking good care of her. But she is a mother, naturally Nervous children, sometimes they will inevitably worry too much."
Ren Yaoqi's meaning seems to be that Xiao Qiao is not nervous about the child because he is not a real mother. Hearing that Xiao Qiao's face was not good on the spot, looking at Ren Yaoqi's eyes was also a little cold: "Miss Ren is young. I know a lot.”
Ren Yaoqi didn't seem to understand Xiao Qiao's face: "I have a good relationship with my aunt, and I often listen to her talk, so I learned this. But I think Aunt Qiao also takes care of Pan'er in every possible way. I must have taken care of her before. Have you ever been a child?"
This sentence completely changed Xiao Qiao's complexion. Looking at Ren Yaoqi, his eyes were as cold as a knife wind, but his face was a little pale.
On the other hand, Lei Pan'er replied ignorantly, "Auntie has no children."
Xiao Qiao took a deep breath, put down the hand on the table, and pursed her lips.
The atmosphere in the room was a little condensed, Ren Yaoqi took a sip from the tea bowl. Xiao Jinglin raised her eyebrows and glanced at Ren Yaoqi, as if a little surprised.
Ren Yaoqi has always been a gentle person. But today, in front of Xiao Qiao's, he was unusually sharp, and he didn't speak too much. This was really not like Ren Yaoqi's usual style.
Ren Yaoqi quietly blinked at Xiao Jinglin without explaining.
It's just that the atmosphere became embarrassing, and even Lei Pan'er, a little kid, didn't feel good and sat down again. So it didn't take long, when Xiao Qiao once again proposed to take Lei Pan'er away, Lei Pan'er did not refuse.
Ren Yaoqi didn't hold back either. After saying goodbye to Lei Pan'er, she and Xiao Jinglin didn't leave the teahouse in a hurry, they just ordered Hongying to change a pot of hot tea and bring it in.
"You just deliberately angered her?" Xiao Jinglin responded.
Ren Yaoqi seemed to be thinking about something, when he heard this, he raised his head and smiled: "Yes."
Xiao Jinglin glanced at Ren Yaoqi and accused, "You've turned bad!"
Ren Yaoqi smiled "puchi" when he heard the words, and defended himself: "I just want to test her purpose."
Hongying brought a pot of new tea over, Xiao Jinglin took it and poured a cup for Ren Yaoqi herself: "Have you tried it out yet?"
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, and gently touched the edge of the teacup with his fingertips: "I originally thought she was here for Lei Ting, but I didn't think she was here for Pan'er."
When Ren Yaoqi saw Xiao Qiao's dress, he knew that he had thought wrong before. If Xiao Qiao really wanted to hook up with Lei Ting by his similar appearance to Lei Ting's deceased wife, it would not be such a dress. It was when Ren Yaoqi deliberately mentioned the child. Her reaction was too great.
Xiao Jinglin said: "It doesn't look like a person with too deep thoughts."
Otherwise, Ren Yaoqi wouldn't have made him angry with just one or two words.
When Ren Yaoqi heard the words, there was no relief on his face: "Although Pan'er is young, she is smart. There were many women who wanted to use her to get into Lei's family, but they all lost in the end, but she was very interested in Xiao Qiao's family. Her attitude was very submissive, and she didn't even speak when Xiao Qiao chased away her wet nurse."
Xiao Jinglin said, "Just because she looks like Lei Pan'er's biological mother?"
Ren Yaoqi nodded, Xiao Qiao may not be smart enough, but it is enough for her to have a face. And if she is too smart. The Lei family might not be able to tolerate her.
Ren Yaoqi watched Ren Yaoqi worrying about the Lei family, and shook his head: "Ren Yaohua is your sister, not your daughter, even if you want to protect the calf, you can't do everything for her. This matter In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the housework of the Lei family. In the end, let Ren Yaohua solve it by himself, otherwise you can protect her for the rest of your life? If you really can't let her go, you shouldn't let her marry into the Lei family. "
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard the words, but she didn't refute it, she nodded and said, "You're right, it's because I worry too much."
Ren Yaoqi also knew that Ren Yaohua had grown up and was about to marry a woman, so she didn't need to worry about everything like protecting her calf. It's just that this year, it has become a habit for her to protect her family.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi's recognition, Xiao Jinglin instead comforted her: "This little Qiao family drove away Pan'er's wet nurse as soon as she entered Lei's house, and now she wants to let Pan'er live with her before Ren Yaohua enters the house and wait for her. After falling out with Lei Pan'er, Ren Yaohua will not be able to take Lei Pan'er back to the main courtyard. Although the abacus is good, she is only Lei Pan'er's aunt after all. The family did not let an unnamed aunt take care of the eldest daughter when there was a mistress, and as long as Lei Ting had the brain, he would not seriously hand over Lei Pan'er to her."
After listening to Xiao Jinglin's rare long speech, Ren Yaoqi gave her a look of surprise: "Didn't you always disdain these internal affairs?"
Xiao Jinglin took a sip of tea and moistened her roar, trying her best to hide the self-satisfaction on her face: "Disdain doesn't mean I don't understand."
Ren Yaoqi looked at her dejected appearance, and nodded with a smile: "The county master is wise!"
The result was a light hum from the nostrils of County Master Xiao.
Having said that, after Ren Yaoqi left the teahouse, he still gave Apple the purse that Lei Paner gave her: "Give this to Sydney, and let her go to Lei's Zhuangzi to find Lei Paner's wet nurse. , by the way, inquire about the details of Xiao Qiao's."
Sydney has lived in Zhu Ruomei's house for several years. After getting along for a few years, she has developed a deep relationship with Zhu's family. Zhu Ruomei's mother likes Sydney very much and has always wanted her to be her daughter-in-law.
Ren Yaoqi originally planned to let Sydney come back after she got married, which was also her previous promise to Sydney, but the last time Ren Yaoqi found out that Zhu Ruomei and Sydney seemed to have mutual affection, so after asking Sydney what she meant , Ren Yaoqi gave up the idea of bringing people back, but Sydney used to be her maid after all, and she suffered a lot for her. Zhu Ruomei has helped her a lot these years, Ren Yaoqi plans to wait for a while Plan a good life for Sydney, and then let her marry.
Apple responded, and Ren Yaoqi met Xiao Jinglin's contemptuous gaze, and explained with a smile: "Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy will never end in a hundred battles. I'll ask the third sister to deal with it first. She's been very busy these days, not to mention after she gets married. It's hard for me to help her."
Xiao Jinglin rolled her eyes in her heart, wondering why she still had the illusion that Ren Yaoqi was going to marry her daughter
"It's still early, let's go around the city in a carriage?" Ren Yaoqi took Xiao Jinglin's hand and asked with a smile.
Xiao Jinglin didn't want to go back so early, she suddenly held Ren Yaoqi's hand and pulled her into the car with some interest: "By the way, I know that the simmered pork in Youhe place is delicious. Let's go, I'll take you there! "
Ren Yaoqi was one of the few people who knew the nature of Princess Xiao's foodie, and followed her into the car without any resistance. Xiao Jinglin said that the place was a side alley and it was not easy to find, so Hongying replaced the driver and sat in front to drive the car.
When the carriage was about to pass the Nancheng Gate, it slowed down because it wanted to avoid the carriages and horses leaving the city. One hesitantly shouted from outside the carriage, "Red... Hongying?"
Xiao Jinglin raised her eyebrows and opened the curtain of the car. Ren Yaoqi turned her head and saw that the black-faced defender of the city that they had met last time was standing on the right side of the car, rubbing her hands nervously with Hong Hong. Ying speaks.
Because the county owner did not allow the carriage to stop, after the carriage at the city gate passed, Hongying let the carriage continue to run, and the black-faced general trotted to keep a certain distance from the carriage, while greeting Xiao Jinglin.
Xiao Jinglin nodded and lowered the curtain of the car again, ignoring the outside affairs.
Hongying seemed to whisper something to the black-faced general.
The black-faced general came in faintly with a cautious voice: "Hongying, my injury is already healed, when are you free to beat me up again... Oh no, come and guide me again."
