The maid's face blushed when she heard the words, and she froze on the spot.
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said to Ren Yaohua, "She's not from our Baihe Town. I'm afraid she doesn't know the rules of the ice play competition. Third sister, lend me a dime? Just beg for a lot of money."
Ren Yaohua stared at the maid for a while, and finally ordered Xiang Qin to give the maid a dime of silver. The maid saluted as if receiving an amnesty and retired.
"Leave Xiangqin, you all go there to play." After Ren Yaohua sent everyone behind him away, he looked at Ren Yaoqi a few times and frowned, "Do you recognize that gentleman Wen?"
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "When he and my cousin entered the house, I met them once in the corridor, and I said hello and went with them to my grandmother to greet them. After that, I rarely left the hospital, and I didn't speak from a distance. "
Ren Yaohua looked at Ren Yaoqi, as if judging the authenticity of her words: "I looked at you a few times before I saw him, but I didn't know who he was looking at."
Ren Yaoqi was slightly surprised, she didn't expect Ren Yaohua to be so careful.
She felt Yun Wenfang's gaze before, and she was still secretly strange, and she was not sure who Yun Wenfang was looking at. She had obviously never provoke him in this life, and she had not even deliberately avoided occasions with him on weekdays. Self-confessed performance is very natural. I really can't figure out what caught his attention.
"Stay away from that person in the future!" Ren Yaohua said with a stern face.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but smile bitterly, she also wanted to be as far away from him as possible.
However, Ren Yaohua thought that Ren Yaoqi's expression was disapproving, and sneered: "He is not a son of Wen, he is the second young master of the Yun family. I heard a few words from the eighth sister before and deliberately asked people to inquire about him. The mansion knows him. There are a lot of people with identities. Haven't you seen Wu Aunt's attitude towards him? Everyone knows what she's thinking. Besides Wu Aunt, there are also many people who are staring at this Young Master Yun. The Su family and the Yun family are both in Yunyang City, and the Su family and the Yun family are even more in-laws."
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "Well, I see."
Ren Yaohua was always a little unaccustomed to Ren Yaoqi's obedience, and continued to teach: "You know what kind of family the Yun family is, there is still a princess in the palace of Yanbei. can be his own master.”
Ren Yaoqi smiled sincerely at Ren Yaohua and said, "I understand, third sister, thank you."
Ren Yaohua was stunned for a moment, then uneasily turned away his face and snorted: "I don't want my mother to worry about your ignorance in the future."
At this time, there was another loud sound of gongs and drums outside, and Sydney and Turnip ran over and said with a somewhat dejected expression: "That Young Master Wen won, and the Fifth Young Master won the fifth place."
Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised: "Why is it fifth? Isn't it fourth?"
How can those followers of the Ren family dare to compete with the masters for rankings? It should be those young masters who ran in the top four.
Turnip seemed to have thought of something funny: "A big guy who ran very fast, and was ahead of the crowd with Wen Gongzi before. When he reached the other side, he was tripped for some reason, and he fell and slipped out. Far away. I don't want him to get up and catch up again, and finally run a second."
Ren Yaoqi smiled slightly and didn't care.
"The next thing is ice hockey, Miss Third and Fifth, which team should we choose this time?" Turnip asked enthusiastically.
Ice hockey is when several teams compete for a colored ball, and the team that wins the ball at the end wins. There will be several rounds, which is also the most important part of the ice game. The previous scramble is a warm-up.
Ren Yaoqi thought about it and discussed with Ren Yaohua: "Third sister, do we still choose the fifth brother's team?"
A few maids were a little disappointed when they heard the words, obviously they felt that Ren Yijian had little chance of winning.
Qingmei, who came back with the crowd, hurriedly said to Ren Yaoqi, "Miss, Miss Eight gave a golden ingot to Mr. Wen's team. The slave girl said it was three or two weights. Miss Ninth also gave it to Mr. Wen and Mr. Qiu. Those two teams of five taels of silver naked.
Obviously, she was very dissatisfied with the fact that her master only gave a dime as the lottery, and she was betting on the fifth young master's team that could not possibly win at first sight.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while and asked Sydney, "How much did the others give?"
"Except for the third miss who is the same as you, the eldest young lady gave each team five taels of silver, the fourth miss gave each team one tael of silver, the seventh miss gave Han Gongzi's team twenty taels of silver, and Miss Han gave each team one tael of silver. Several young masters, the eldest young master gave twenty taels to the fifth young master's team in the name of the fifth master, and he himself gave fifteen taels to the Qiu master's team. The third young master... Only the third young master did not give money, the others The young master gives less than the eldest young master."
Ren Yaoqi nodded and asked Ren Yaohua, "So, it's true that we are giving a dime a little less. Third sister, how much do you think we should give this match?"
Ren Yaohua thought for a while, and instructed Turnip: "Then just like the fourth sister and the others, each team will give one or two."
Ren Yaoqi nodded to Sydney and asked her to follow suit.
Ren Yaohua glanced at Ren Yaoqi, got up and said, "I'll go take a look."
In the past, when the elders were there, the amount of money given was based on the seniority. The elders gave big money, but they only gave a small amount to suit the situation. Generally speaking, the amount was not much different, so Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi didn’t have much difference before. care. I don't want the elders to be absent today, and some people broke the rules.
Ren Yaoqi knew that although Ren Yaohua didn't want to stand out in today's situation, he didn't want to lose face because of his strong nature. Thinking of what she had taught herself before, Ren Yaoqi knew that she was a good person and wouldn't mess around, so he nodded and said, "Third sister go first, I'll change clothes."
The place where Ren's house was temporarily used for changing clothes was a thatched hut not far from the river bank.
When Ren Yaoqi finished changing his clothes and came out, he saw dozens of people fighting on the ice, and the crowd outside the colorful flags cheered hoarsely. The atmosphere was very warm.
Ren Yaoqi stood on the high bank of the river and watched for a while, and probably saw the mighty and domineering people in the center of the field who grabbed the ball. He also saw that Ren Yijian fell on all fours because he couldn't squeeze into the center.
They walked along the river bank with a few strong wives and Xue Li arranged by Mother Zhou. They were about to go around behind the greenhouse when they suddenly heard a faint rustling sound from somewhere. Then someone lowered his voice and scolded: "...Fuck! Zhu Ruomei! If you don't let go, my arm will break!"
The women behind Ren Yaoqi were shocked, but Ren Yaoqi immediately waved his hand to stop their shouting.
"Yuan Dayong, you son of a turtle! If you stumbled on me, I would have won while I was waiting. Do you know how much money those lottery jackpots have?" a man gasped and said angrily.
Yuan Dayong gritted his teeth in pain: "If I hadn't tripped you, you would have been kicked out of the coal mine by the steward when you returned today! Do you think the money would still be in your hands?"
"Why can't I win my hands? Who dares to try it!"
"Yeah, you are amazing! But what about your mother and your sister? Follow you to pack up and run away? Your mother is too sick to get out of bed!"
"You also know my mother, she's very ill... What do you think I'm working so hard for?" Zhu Ruomei's hoarse voice was a little choked.
Yuan Dayong sighed and soothed softly: "I just knew that I begged my father to let you come for someone else. You know that because you won the game, the rewards are huge, and many people can't ask for it. You people in the coal mine can only ask for it. Guarded at the periphery, most of the people who can come in are the servants of the Ren family. So everyone knows the rules and knows that as long as there is a master present, you can't win when you are rushing to wait. The housekeeper knows it well, so it doesn't matter if you and I are kicked out."
The two of them said that they had already climbed up from the bushes under the river bank, and before they got up, they saw Ren Yaoqi and his group standing not far away.
Ren Yaoqi also saw them, they were two men in Ren's family clothes, with a red belt and a yellow belt tied around their waists.
The man with the red belt was white and clean and looked very gentle. The one wearing the yellow belt was very tall, with a dark face, but his appearance was extremely straight.
The fair-looking man was obviously taken aback, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly pulled the person next to him to kneel on the ground, lowered his head, and did not dare to look this way.
The tall and strong man also honestly knelt beside the white man.
"Fifth Miss, look..." The old lady who stood in front of Ren Yaoqi turned her head and asked softly, meaning if she wanted someone to come over and run to the place listed as "idlers exempted from entering". The two people from the place dragged down and punished.
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "Let them leave quickly, so as not to be seen." Then he walked over.
The old woman ran to the two of them and sent them away.
Ren Yaoqi had already remembered why he felt familiar when he heard the name "Zhu Ruomei".
She had heard of this person three years ago, and remembered it because the name "Zhu Ruomei" was a bit special.
