In fact, in all fairness, although Meng Shilin's appearance is ordinary and his clothes are very simple, he has a calm and quiet bookish air that a scholar has, and he is also very polite and humble in dealing with people. As far as talent is concerned, Meng Shilin is considered a little famous among the young talents of the academy. If it was an ordinary person, he wouldn't be able to get into the eyes of Master Ren.
So Ren Yaoying actually misunderstood her father. Although Master Ren didn't like this daughter, he still found her a marriage that he thought was very good within his ability. You must know that if Meng Shilin hadn't come from a concubine, Master Ren would probably have married Ren Yaoqi to him.
It's a pity that Ren Yaoying doesn't know her father. In her opinion, marrying her to such a person in Ren's family is a huge insult to her. She might as well marry into any family.
Meng Shilin was also stunned when he saw Ren Yaoying, and then bowed politely.
In fact, once before, Master Ren called Meng Shilin in front of him and asked him a few words. Meng Shilin is a smart person, and he soon realized from Master Ren's question that his husband might want to give him a kiss. Meng Shilin Knowing that his husband was well-intentioned, he answered respectfully when he asked him anything. Sure enough, the next day he heard that the husband had found someone to go to his clan.
Meng Shilin's father and mother-in-law were gone, and his aunt couldn't be the master of his marriage, so Ren Shimin went to his clan after hearing his words. However, Meng Shilin still didn't know which family Mr. Ren told him.
Mr. Ren called him over today, and Meng Shilin knew that Mr. Ren might want to mention this marriage to him.
Meng Shilin didn't think much of it when he first met Ren Yaoying, but when he accidentally saw Ren Yaoying's scrutinizing and scrutinizing eyes, as well as the deep disappointment and unwillingness in his eyes, Meng Shilin was as smart and keen as Meng Shilin immediately noticed something.
Could it be that what Mr. Ren wanted to tell him was this girl? But this girl seems to be a little bit down on her, doesn't she? Meng Shilin shook his head with a wry smile.
When Meng Shilin was far away from Ren Yaoying, he asked the small concierge who led him to see Mr. Ren: "Who is the lady who just walked over?"
The concierge called Miss Jiu when she saw the young lady saluting. Meng Shilin only knew the eldest and second misses of the Ren family who were married, but she didn't know which Miss Jiu was.
The concierge thought for a while, then smiled and replied, "This is our master's daughter."
Meng Shilin then remembered that in addition to his two direct daughters, Mr. Ren also had a concubine who was Ren Yihong's sister, but this concubine had always been in the old house in Baihe Town, so he had never seen it. It's just that the people of the Ren family call the two direct-born young misses the eldest miss and the second young lady, but it is a bit strange to call this concubine young lady the ninth miss.
Thinking of that Miss Ren Jiu, who had a look of disgust and contempt in her eyes just now, and thinking about the eldest and second young ladies in this mansion he had inadvertently met before, Meng Shilin shook his head. It's no wonder that people in the world are willing to marry the heirs, but not concubines, but it's not without reason.
Therefore, Ren Yaoying doesn't look down on Meng Shilin, and Meng Shilin, a scholar who pays attention to connotation, may not actually look down on Ren Yaoying.
It was only after meeting Ren Shimin that when Ren Shimin said straight to the point that he wanted to marry his concubine to Meng Shilin, although Meng Shilin was a little hesitant in his heart, for the reason of respecting his teacher and respecting Taoism, he still replied without a word that he knew what he had met. Kindness of Mr.
But after seeing Meng Shilin's side, Ren Yaoying felt extremely uneasy when she found out that Young Master Meng was going to see her father. After thinking about it for a while, she still gritted her teeth and used her pair of gold hairpins and a pair of jade bracelets to bribe the two servants beside Mr. Ren, and secretly hid under the window of the study to eavesdrop on Mr. Ren and Meng Shilin. dialogue.
Ren Yaoying did not doubt why she was released from the grounding not long after Ren Yaoqi returned to the house, and even happened to get on the line with the people around Mr. Ren, why there are fewer people following her out now. Ren Yaoying thought that Mr. Ren was persuaded by her, so she asked Li to stop her and let her go out. After all, Ren Yaohua, who disliked her the most, was married, and Ren Yaoqi was also married. Mr. Li has no opinion of his own, and has always left everything to the master. In order to relax Li's vigilance, although she can go out now, she hardly comes out.
As for how easily she could sneak under the window of her father's study, Ren Yaoying thought that this was because Master Ren hated idle people waiting in his study, so there was basically no one guarding outside the study.
Without Ren Yaohua's Ren family, Ren Yaoying's vigilance has relaxed a lot.
Therefore, in the end, Ren Yaoying couldn't hold back and found her father Ren Shimin again.
Ren Shimin was still a little unhappy when he was stopped by Ren Yaoying again. What this prostitute did on weekdays really made him not like it.
"What's the matter?" Ren Shimin asked with a frown.
Ren Yaoying looked up at Ren Shimin, and said timidly, "I, I heard that my father has helped me withdraw from the He family?"
Ren Shimin said in a low voice: "The He family has already promised to retire, and I will send your Geng Tie back in a few days. I just lost some money. It is your sister Yao Qi who contributed. Remember to thank her when you meet her later. "
Ren Yaoying bit her lip and forced a smile: "Yes, Daddy, I know." She paused, and then said, "Since the marriage of the He family has been retired, then... Then please send the daughter to the nunnery. go."
Ren Shimin frowned: "Your mother and I have already chosen another marriage for you, so don't mention it again in the future."
Although Ren Yaoying had already heard the conversation between Ren Shimin and Meng Shilin, she still felt like a thunderclap when she let Ren Shimin say it herself, she looked at Ren Shimin with a white face and said, "Dad has chosen Meng Shimin as a husband for his daughter. Master?"
Ren Shimin glanced at Ren Yaoying in surprise, then nodded and said, "Has your mother told you? It's him, he is my student, and his character is not bad..."
Before Ren Shimin's words were finished, Ren Yaoying looked at Ren Shimin and shook her head: "Why? Why... "
Ren Shimin was inexplicable: "Why why?"
Ren Yaoying couldn't help crying: "Is it not pleasing to my eyes to watch it like this? Let me marry such a poor family? If you don't like my daughter, just go back to Baihe Town, why make fun of her daughter's future!"
Ren Yaoying doesn't understand her father, and Ren Shimin can't understand Ren Yaoying either.
Ren Shimin thinks that he has been very good to this concubine. At the beginning, he never personally arranged the marriage of his favorite little daughter. Now, for Ren Yaoying's marriage, he not only sent someone to the Meng family to talk about it, but also called him in person. Ask your own students.
Ren Shimin frowned more and more: "What's the mess?" He was already a little displeased. Ren Shimin couldn't see women crying and making trouble in public, and he seemed very uncultivated.
Ren Yaoying's emotions that were stimulated by the blow were a little out of control. The grievances and injustices she suffered in the Ren family's old house and here during this period of time came up. The envy and jealousy of the two sisters, Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua, were also gnawing like crazy. Her heart made her feel depressed and miserable.
"I don't want to marry into the Meng family, and I won't marry that shabby person even if I die!"
Ren Shimin slowly realized what Ren Yaoying said. His face was so gloomy and ugly, and he said word by word, "Say it again!"
Ren Yaoying cried and cried with red eyes: "I said I don't want to marry Meng Shilin! It's just a poor family born, why should he marry me! I'd rather marry him than marry him!"
Unbelievable shock flashed in Ren Shimin's eyes. He didn't seem to have expected that Ren Yaoying would say such a thing, and his daughter would actually say such shameless words
Why would you rather marry to the He family, to marry that lousy old man older than his father's age, than to marry his proud disciple Meng Shilin
Ren Shimin immediately felt that it was not his student Meng Shilin who was humiliated, but himself. It can't be just him, Ren Shimin felt that Ren Yaoying's words insulted the scholars all over the world.
So, Master Ren, who has never been rough, raised his hand and slapped Ren Yaoying fiercely.
Master Ren is a scholar, and he always upholds the wise saying that a gentleman speaks and does not do anything, so his slapped slap, which was so angry, was not really heavy, but that slap was loud.
Ren Shimin felt that he had never been so angry before, not even when he was kicked out of the family by the Ren family.
This is the first time he has grown up to solve a problem directly with violence, which was degrading to him in the past, but if he hadn't slapped Ren Yaoying just now, his anger wouldn't go well, and Ren Shimin finally understood why His father would have vomited blood in anger.
Ren Yaoying covered her face and cried there.
However, Ren Shimin gradually calmed down. He recalled the last time Ren Yaoying said that she would rather be a sister-in-law to let her marry the He family. After clarifying the cause and effect, he naturally understood that what Ren Yaoying said in front of him was not hers. To tell the truth, she said that for another purpose.
What Ren Shimin hated the most was this kind of person with a wrong mind and heart, but this person was still his daughter.
Ren Shimin looked at Ren Yaoying coldly, and said in a never-before-seen tone of indifference: "If that's the case, then you should marry into the He family. Fortunately, the He family hasn't officially broken off the marriage, and my father hasn't. It's too late to ruin your good marriage."
