The door of the study was tightly closed, and the maids and ladies waiting outside all had expressions of surprise on their faces, as if they were listening to what was going on inside but did not dare to approach, because Mr. Ren once issued a clear order that the maids and ladies must Waiting under the eaves, do not approach without an order, otherwise they will be severely punished.
So even though there was a commotion in the study just now, no one dared to break in, so they could only go to the main room to find Li Shi and Ren Yaoqi.
When Ren Yaoqi and Mrs. Li walked to the door of the study, there was no more arguing. Mrs. Li went to the place close to the door and listened carefully, then frowned and shook her head gently at Ren Yaoqi. .
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, and while gesturing to Apple, he walked over and knocked on the door: "Dad? My daughter has brought you hot tea, can you come in?"
After a moment, Master Ren's voice sounded in the study through the door: "Come in." There was no joy or anger in his voice.
Almost as soon as Master Ren's words fell, Apple didn't know where to change a tea tray, and there were two tea bowls in the tea tray, which looked hot.
Ren Yaoqi took Apple's tea bowl and pushed open the door of the study. As soon as the door opened, she saw a broken celadon pen washer on the ground. This pen washer was originally placed on the desk in the study. The pen holder is a set, which is Mr. Ren's favorite.
Ren Yaoqi's eyelids jumped involuntarily.
Mr. Li originally listened to Mr. Ren's voice and wanted to leave after Ren Yaoqi entered. After all, Mr. Ren didn't like unrelated people entering his study, but Mrs. Li was frightened after seeing the broken pen wash on the ground. After a jump, he went in behind Ren Yaoqi.
Just as Ren Yaoqi stepped in, Xiao Jingxi's voice sounded in the middle: "Be careful of the debris on the ground, don't hurt it." Second Young Master Xiao's voice was still so gentle and pleasant, it didn't look like he had just quarreled with Lord Yuezhang. A look like.
Ren Yaoqi and Mrs. Li looked at each other, both a little puzzled.
Hearing that Xiao Jingxi and Ren Shimin were in the room on the right, Ren Yaoqi walked over without hesitation, but was stunned when she opened the bead curtain and saw the situation inside.
Ren Shimin was sitting cross-legged on the short side while drawing, and Xiao Jingxi was sitting on the side of him and tilted his head to look at it. This picture didn't look like what happened in the same room as Chunlan described earlier.
Xiao Jingxi also raised his head and smiled at Ren Yaoqi and Li Shi, and stood up.
Ren Shimin also took the time to look up and saw that Mrs. Li was also here, so she couldn't help frowning: "Why are you here too? Is there something wrong?"
Li shi looked at Ren Shimin carefully, and there was really no sign of anger on his face, so he couldn't help but smile a little embarrassedly: "Oh, I just wanted to come over and ask what kind of wine you and Uncle would like to drink at noon today, I remember that the master also hid a few jars of good daughter Hong here."
Li's words are actually meant to be tentative. When Ren Yaoqi was a child, Ren Shimin joked that his daughter Hong would drink with his uncle after he married the youngest daughter. The youngest daughter in Ren Shimin's mouth naturally refers to Ren Yao period. However, when Xiao Jingxi came today, Ren Shimin did not give such instructions to Mrs. Li. It may be that he was somewhat dissatisfied with the uncle Xiao Jingxi in his heart.
I don't want Ren Shimin, but he waved his hand at Mrs Li indifferently after listening to it: "It's just a few jars of wine, you just need to take someone to dig it out and buy it under the tree in front of the study. It's not that you don't know."
Li was stunned for a while, and finally heaved a sigh of relief. Since Ren Shimin was willing to give his son-in-law a drink for more than ten years, and specially brought Yunyang City's precious daughter Hong from Baihe Town, it means that he has no interest in Xiao Jingxi. Not much opinion.
Moreover, seeing that the clothes of Master Ren and Xiao Jingxi were neat and tidy, it was not obvious that anyone was injured. So even though Mrs. Li was still curious about what just happened here, she still responded to Master Ren's words and withdrew first. Even the broken brush on the ground, she didn't even get a clear order from Master Ren. Self-assured people to clean up.
Compared with her daughter, Li Shi is not a very smart person, but she has done a better job than anyone else in grasping Ren Shimin's temper, so for so many years, Li Shi has suffered a lot from the elders of the Ren family. Since he was young, he has never been uttered a harsh word by Ren Shimin, even Aunt Fang has been scolded by Master Ren.
Ren Yaoqi put the tea tray in his hand on the desk on the side, took a bowl and handed it to Master Ren, and then took another bowl and handed it to Xiao Jingxi.
When Master Ren took a sip of tea and handed the tea bowl back to her, Ren Yaoqi asked with a casual smile, "There seems to be some chaos outside, can I have someone clean it up?"
Master Ren nodded indifferently: "Let's pack up."
That pen washer is Master Ren's favorite thing. When Ren Yaoqi saw that when he mentioned it, Master Ren didn't lose his temper, he knew that this matter should have nothing to do with Xiao Jingxi, and couldn't help laughing: "I remember this pen washer and That pen holder was my father's favorite, and he brought it from Baihe Town on purpose, how come it was accidentally broken today?" Ren Yaoqi also looked at Xiao Jingxi inquiringly.
Xiao Jingxi said apologetically, "It's my fault, if it wasn't for me, the pen would not have been broken. I remember that there was one similar to this one in my study, and when I went back, I would just have it given to my father. send over."
When Master Ren heard the words, he refused politely, and nodded: "You have a heart. I really like that pen wash, and it's a pity that it is broken."
Ren Yaoqi blinked, looked at Master Ren, then looked at Xiao Jingxi, and finally his eyes stopped on Xiao Jingxi. I am a little surprised by the change in Master Ren's attitude, what did Xiao Jingxi just do
Xiao Jingxi quietly blinked at Ren Yaoqi while Master Ren lowered his head to paint, with a rare hint of mischief in his smile. Ren Yaoqi silently rolled his eyes.
Just when he was about to find out more about what just happened here, Master Ren took a few glances at his painting, put down the pen, and asked Xiao Jingxi, "How about this one?"
Xiao Jingxi then seriously commented on Mr. Ren's paintings. Although he is not an expert in painting, he has excellent vision and artistic self-cultivation, so when facing his father-in-law, Xiao Jingxi really commented on that. Come. If it was someone else, the father-in-law would definitely not tolerate his son-in-law judging his own paintings, but the master was not someone else, he liked to hear other people's opinions on his works.
When Ren Yaoqi was not married, she always played this role, so when this daughter got married, Ren Shimin looked at Xiao Jingxi more and more, and the more she disliked her. You must know that Xiao Jingxi stole not only his most beloved daughter, but also his personal connoisseur confidant.
However, Master Ren appreciates truly talented people, so when he heard that Xiao Jingxi's appreciation level was not lower than his daughter's, Master Ren was still very happy.
He pointed to the still-ink-dry painting on his fingertips and said, "Then this painting will be given to you."
Ren Yaoqi asked in a daze: "Why did Dad send him a painting?" It was still a painting.
Xiao Jingxi's treatment was too good, and Ren Yaoqi couldn't believe it. Didn't her father reject Xiao Jingxi a little when he was in the main room
I don't want to be Ren, but it is a matter of course: "I lost a game of chess to Tingzhen. He asked for my painting, so I painted him one. What's so strange about this?"
It was only then that Ren Yaoqi understood what was going on. She glanced at Xiao Jingxi and said angrily, "How can you beat my father!"
Ren Shimin was unhappy, and the duty daughter said, "What? It's not that he can't win, but he can't win?"
Xiao Jingxi looked at her with a smile and said, "My father is a gentleman, so he definitely doesn't want me to cheat."
