Fortunately, the uncle's visit is a big happy event, and the lively atmosphere is also a kind of atmosphere, especially in many places, there are some customs of giving uncle down the horse. For example, the uncle was drunk, and the men in the family took turns to show him. I even heard that according to some local customs, when the uncle came, the "mother's family" would serve the uncle with a stick, and also People have been killed.
Anyway, in the days when the son-in-law came to the door, no matter how tossed the woman's family, the uncle couldn't be angry. The Ren family didn't dare to show Second Young Master Xiao's face, but the servants in the mansion came out to join in the fun, but they were still within the allowed range. They only had this chance to visit the uncle so unscrupulously without being bullied. scold.
As soon as Ren Yaoqi walked into the main courtyard, Mammy Zhou, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, greeted him, and happily saluted Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi: "Second Miss, Second Uncle, Master and Wife are in the procession. The room is waiting for you."
Having said that, Mother Zhou's eyes couldn't help but look towards Xiao Jingxi.
Mammy Zhou is also a little concerned about the rumors that the second son of the Xiao family is not in good health, but now that Ren Yaoqi's face and spirit are very good, she can see from her vicious eyes that the couple in front of them are getting along very well. means
Looking at Second Young Master Xiao again, there is no need to mention his appearance, and his face does not have that kind of terminally ill look on his face.
On the day when Xiao Jingxi came to welcome his relatives, Zhou Mammy observed him carefully from a distance, and felt that the second son of Xiao was a little different from the rumored one, but that day was special, she thought that maybe it was in order to welcome Xiao. What medicine did the family give him? Or it may not be necessary to dress him up carefully. So today, when I had the opportunity to get in close contact with him, Mother Zhou looked at it very carefully.
Second Young Master Xiao did not show any displeasure when facing her gaze, and smiled at her. Mammy Zhou felt that there was nothing wrong with this second uncle's every move and calm demeanor. In this way, Mama Zhou couldn't help but be a little puzzled. Could it be that the rumors are not credible
Before Mammy Zhou could think it through, Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi had already reached the main room.
Master Ren and Mrs. Li were already sitting at the top waiting for them.
As Xiao Jingxi, other people would definitely not dare to let him kneel and worship him, but the second son of Xiao did not dare to act like a son of the Yanbei palace in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and behaved with Ren Yao in a proper manner. Qi gave a big gift to Master Ren and Mrs. Li together.
Master Ren and Mrs. Li were not ordinary people either. Although they were a little surprised by Xiao Jingxi's gift, they accepted it generously. Xiao Jingxi's attitude immediately won the favor of a group of women including Li and Zhou Ma. A man who is humble and respectful, respects his elders, and is good-looking is naturally more likely to gain the favor of women.
Only Master Ren's face was still indifferent, he just glanced at his little daughter and frowned: "Why does Yaoyao seem to have no energy?"
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a while, Xiao Jingxi turned to look at Ren Yaoqi, but did not smile.
Ren Yaoqi met his gaze for some unknown reason. His face turned red, and he said in a low voice, "No. Maybe it's because of the carriage..."
Mammy Zhou smiled and whispered something in Li Shi's ear, Li Shi glanced at Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi, and for the first time refuted her husband's words in front of others, with a smile on her face: "Where is the spirit? Not good? I look good, red and glowing."
All the maids and wives in the room laughed.
Ren Yaoqi stood there pretending to be calm, ignoring some of the well-meaning laughter of everyone.
Master Ren did not refute Li's words. Just a faint "hum" sound of noncommittal.
Although Li Shi was not very satisfied with Xiao Jingxi's son-in-law because of the rumors, but the mother-in-law was more satisfied with the son-in-law. Especially Xiao Jingxi not only gave birth to a face that kills both young and old. When talking to people, his tone is humble and gentle, his words are witty and polite, not to mention that when he deliberately wants to impress people, Second Young Master Xiao is simply invincible.
However, Mrs. Li just eats his way. Xiao Jingxi just came in to talk to her about tea time, and her name for Xiao Jingxi changed from second uncle to "Jingxi" and "my son"...
Ren Yaoqi stared blankly on the side, unable to even interrupt.
Relative to Li's joy and closeness. Master Ren's face was not so beautiful, Ren Yaoqi looked at his father a few times. She felt that she saw his evaluation of Xiao Jingxi in her father's eyes: "Smooth tongue!"
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but have a headache.
Li's aesthetics are no different from that of most well-born women in the world, but for a scholar like Master Ren, he prefers a younger son-in-law who has a strong scholar's smell as his son-in-law. A person with real ability in learning or with "one skill".
While Mrs. Li was calling someone to change the tea for Xiao Jingxi, Ren Yaoqi glanced at him. Although it was only a clear and light glance, it meant nothing, but miraculously, Xiao Jingxi understood something. He even winked at her secretly.
The next moment, Ren Yaoqi heard Xiao Jingxi say to Li's gentle and authentic: "Mother don't be busy, I still have something to talk to Master Yuezhang, and it's not too late to drink tea later."
When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but glance at Master Ren.
Master Ren frowned: "Looking for me? What's the matter?"
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jingxi, and asked with his eyes: What are you going to do? Xiao Jingxi gave her a reassuring look, and then smiled very politely: "I wonder if your father-in-law is free now?"
Master Ren glanced at him, then stood up dignifiedly: "Come with me to the study." Then he walked out first.
Ren Yaoqi was a little hesitant to think about whether she should keep up, but seeing Xiao Jingxi shaking her head invisibly towards her when she walked past her, she immediately dismissed the idea. Xiao Jingxi is still very measured, and her father is not a vexatious person... right
After Master Ren and Xiao Jingxi left, only Li Shi, Ren Yaoqi, and several maids and maids in Li's room were left in the house.
Li's presumably wanted to take this opportunity to chat with Ren Yaoqi privately, leaving only Mammy Zhou and condemning the other maids and maids.
The three of them talked one step at a time, and Mrs. Li took Ren Yaoqi and sat on the kang, then looked at her carefully for a while, reached out to cut her hair and temples, and smiled: "My uncle is different from the rumors, and she is so I value you, and I will be relieved for my mother."
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a while, thinking where did Mrs. Li see that Xiao Jingxi values her? After entering the door, Xiao Jingxi never spoke to her at all.
On the other hand, Mother Zhou smiled and explained to Ren Yaoqi: "If my uncle doesn't value you, why would he spend so much time trying to please his father-in-law and mother-in-law? In his capacity, even if he walks in the door and leaves today, no one will be there. say what."
Hearing this, Ren Yaoqi pursed his lips and smiled. After thinking about it, he still said: "Yes, mother, he treats me very well and respects me, please rest assured."
When Li Shi heard this, the smile on his face became even bigger.
Mammy Zhou asked, "What about the princess and the lord? And the lord's birth mother, Concubine Yun." Mammy Zhou didn't ask the old princess, because she didn't need to ask.
Ren Yaoqi returned seriously: "The lord and the princess are also very good, and they treat me as their own daughter. Although Taifei Yun is a little serious, she has helped me several times and asked me to help her copy the scriptures."
Mammy Zhou and Mrs. Li were both smiling, Mammy Zhou said with a smile: "That's good, that's good, this is really a good thing. As long as the elders also value you, Second Miss, your status in the Yanbei Palace. It's really stable. But this servant heard that Concubine Yun has a cold temperament and is not very easy to get along with?"
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, then smiled and said: "The concubine's temperament is a little cold, and she is not very warm to her grandchildren on the surface, but she is a sensible person and takes good care of me. Originally, according to the Xiao family's family According to the rules, the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family needs to give birth to a child before she can be recorded on the family tree, and this time thanks to her help in front of the old princess, I was able to enter the family tree of the Xiao family on the second day after entering the house."
Ren Yaoqi is a person with clear grievances. Although she knows that Concubine Yun may not like her in her heart, she has helped her, and she has helped her more than once. Therefore, for Concubine Yun, Ren Yaoqi respected her as an elder from the bottom of his heart, and would not say anything bad about her in front of her family. Anyone who asked her would say the same thing.
This evil is obviously what Li's and Zhou's mother want to hear. Li's has suffered a lot these years because she is not liked by her in-laws, so she is very concerned about this. A large part of the reason for agreeing to let Ren Yaohua be Lei Ting's successor was because he saw that there was no elder in the Lei family who could press Ren Yaohua on his head. Now that Ren Yaoqi is married to the Xiao family, the Li family is most concerned about these issues.
Ren Yaoqi was chatting with Mrs. Li in the main room about the affairs in the Yanbei palace for the past few days, when Xi'er suddenly came in and reported: "Madam, Miss Jiu is asking to see you, saying that you want to come and congratulate the Second Miss."
People around Li called Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi "eldest miss" and "second miss" respectively, and when they arrived at Ren Yaoying's place, they became her rank in the Ren family, and they obviously regarded her as an outsider.
Ren Yaoqi raised his eyebrows: "Yaoying? She didn't go back to Baihe Town? Did the Ren family send someone to look for her?"
Li sighed: "The Ren family sent someone to look for you on the day you got married, but at that time..." Li only later heard from Mammy Zhou that Ren Yaoying had been poisoned. Looking at the joke, it is not easy to carry Ren Yaoying out.
"Later I heard that Mr. Ren is very ill, and the Ren family has no time to take care of her. Your father wants to send her back, but she herself refuses to leave." Li said.
The first... oo
