Ren Yaoqi couldn't help frowning when he heard the words.
When Yan Ningshuang came to Yanbei, she brought the Queen Mother's will to let Yun Wenting and Zhao Yingqiu get married. Ren Yaoqi had also heard that the Yun family was preparing for the wedding, but the Yun family itself was not very keen on this marriage, and had an attitude of putting it off if they could. The Yun family's actions could only be delayed as long as possible.
Ren Yaoqi looked at the excited maid and asked, "Where did you hear it?"
Xiang Qin grinned and squatted down in front of Ren Yaoqi to pinch her leg: "I heard from a woman in the kitchen of our house that her niece's cousin's second uncle's brother is with the Yun family. The old man has been an old man for decades, and it is said that the Yun family is now preparing for the wedding of Young Master Yun, and will marry that Miss Zhao next month."
Speaking of which, Yun Wenting, the eldest young master of the Yun family, has many secret admirers in Yanbei. There are many people who pay attention to his marriage. Even these maids often talk about it in private on weekdays. Since Yun Wenting, Yun Dashao's popularity is not too high.
Xiangqin was chatting passionately with the maids next to Ren Yaoqi about the marriage of the eldest young master of the Yun family. Ren Yaoqi was about to speak to stop her, but she looked up and found that Xiao Jinglin did not know when she was coming, and was just lifting the curtain and walking in. .
Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin didn't have too many rules with each other. When Xiao Jingxi was away, sometimes when Xiao Jinglin came, there was no need for someone to come in to report.
County Master Xiao has never been very expressive in front of outsiders. Although she seldom scolds and is not harsh to the people below her, the room immediately became quiet when she saw her coming in. Xiang Qin, who was talking happily, also stuck out her tongue, and stood aside with her head lowered, daring not to be rude.
Ren Yaoqi thought about the topic the maids were talking about just now, and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jinglin. Xiao Jinglin's expression was normal and she didn't show any displeasure. However, Ren Yaoqi still sent all the maids including Xiangqin out. Xiangqin used her talking eyes to look pitifully at Ren Yaoqi while walking, and she almost wrote a few words on her face. Big characters "I still have something to say, can I not leave?" Unfortunately, Ren Yaoqi ignored her.
When only Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin were left in the room, Ren Yaoqi mentioned the marriage of Yun Wenting and Zhao Yingqiu: "I heard that the Yun family is going to have a wedding again."
Xiao Jinglin's face was very calm: "This is the will of the Queen Mother, and the Yun family can follow the order at this time."
When Ren Yaoqi heard the words, he thought that the relationship between the Yanbei Palace, the imperial court, and the Liao people was very delicate. On the surface, it looked calm, but in fact, if he was not careful, his face would be completely torn apart.
If the war is serious, Yanbei may face the dilemma that there are wolves in front and tigers in the back. Obviously, at present, the Yanbei Palace wants to temporarily postpone the situation of frontal warfare, maybe because the time has not come or because of other What is the reason, you can see that Yanbei Wangfu let Yelu Sage enter the residence before, plus Xiao Jingyue's marriage with Yan Ningshuang...
The King of Yanbei accepted Yelu Sage and let the Yan family daughter enter the Xiao family. The Yun family, which closely followed the footsteps of the Yanbei Palace, may have taken this as a signal, so the Yun family also began to prepare for Yun Wenting. And Zhao Yingqiu's wedding.
Ren Yaoqi said with a smile: "I always think that Miss Zhao is not a simple person. Yanbei may not be peaceful for a long time in the future. It would be a good choice to put her in the Yun family."
Xiao Jinglin couldn't help looking at Ren Yaoqi when she heard the words, raised her eyebrows and said, "A person you don't even think is easy... I'm curious about what she did to make you so taboo on her?"
Ren Yaoqi laughed when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "It's because she doesn't seem to be doing anything that I'm worried."
Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but think about it in a blink of an eye. The Queen Mother sent people all the way, not necessarily because she really wanted them to come "with relatives." Don't worry.
"It's not just Miss Zhao, the princess has been very calm these days." Ren Yaoqi said.
When Xiao Jinglin was at home, Yelu Sage was entrusted to her to surveil. Xiao Jinglin took away all her own troops. She originally thought that Yelu Sage would be unable to sit still because of this, and she did not want this princess of Liao Kingdom. However, she was very calm and kept her arms still, all she thought about was how to please King Yanbei, even Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but wonder if this princess really only came to King Yanbei
Xiao Jinglin's expression became a little subtle when Ren Yaoqi mentioned Yelu Sage.
Ren Yaoqi saw it and asked curiously, "What? Did you find out that this princess is moving?"
Xiao Jinglin shook her head and glanced at Ren Yaoqi: "That's not true, but I found out some connections between her and my father."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but hesitate to ask whether she should keep asking, although she was actually curious, but it seems a little out of place to inquire about her father-in-law's affair, doesn't it
But Xiao Jinglin didn't care about this and said, "I heard that my father captured Yelu Sage three times on the battlefield, and finally let her go. After she went back, she threatened to arrest my father... Cough... Of course she didn't. Ken was able to catch my father, so when Daliao sent someone to marry him, he voluntarily asked for orders."
Ren Yaoqi looked a little weird after hearing this.
King Yanbei did not kill Yelu Sage either because he did not kill women, or because he saw her thinking of her daughter who also went on the battlefield to kill the enemy. But even if Yelv Sage's admiration for King Yan was somewhat genuine, Ren Yaoqi would not believe that she had left her hometown and came here just to be a concubine for a man, because Ren Yaoqi always felt that Yelv Sage was a concubine to a man. Xiao Jinglin's personalities are somewhat similar, and Xiao Jinglin would never do such a thing.
Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin were chatting, but Hongying walked in and reported in a low voice, "The county master, General Min is here."
Xiao Jinglin frowned when she heard the words: "Didn't he go to Wuzhou?" After thinking about it, she said clearly, "There must be something in Wuzhou that needs him to come back and report to the second brother in person."
Hongying said: "General Min has already gone to see the son, General..." Hongying raised her head and glanced at Xiao Jinglin, "General asks to see you, the county master."
Xiao Jinglin frowned and was silent for a while.
Although Ren Yaoqi didn't interrupt, his eyes remained on Xiao Jinglin. Seeing Xiao Jinglin's expression, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but be a little curious. He wondered how this General Min had offended her county master. It seemed that the offense was not too light. Otherwise, Xiao Jinglin would not have such an attitude towards her colleagues in the army who came to see her.
Xiao Jinglin thought for a while before she said blankly, "I want to accompany the second sister-in-law today, you should let him go back first, it's not the most important thing to wait until I meet him in a few days."
Since Min Wenqing had already met Xiao Jingxi, then the important military situation must have been reported. Xiao Jinglin couldn't think of any other reason for him to come to see her. people have never had a good impression.
However, Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jinglin and asked with an ordinary expression, "Are you out with General Min these days?"
Xiao Jinglin nodded: "Well, some things need the cooperation of his men and horses."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but ponder when he heard the words.
Seeing Hongying retreat, Ren Yaoqi thought that General Min would not be dismissed so easily.
Sure enough, they only chatted a few more words, and Hongying came back soon.
"Master, General Min said that he has something important to discuss with you."
Xiao Jinglin frowned even tighter: "What's the matter? Didn't he meet the second brother?" Xiao Jinglin didn't think that the problems that Xiao Jingxi couldn't solve, she could solve.
Hongying blinked, with a smile on her face: "General Min said that he came to propose marriage to you for Deputy General Zhou, and Deputy General Zhou wanted to marry Qiuhong."
Xiao Jinglin was stunned when she heard the words, as if she didn't think that Min Wenqing was looking for her for this. Qiu Hong is a female soldier under her command. She has been with her for some years, and is highly regarded by her. Deputy General Zhou is a young general by Min Wenqing's side. Because Min Wenqing has acted with her a lot these days, he is associated with her. The people under her command also had frequent contact with those under Min Wenqing. Xiao Jinglin thought about it carefully, her love would be a good match for the young and experienced Vice Admiral Zhou.
Although County Master Xiao was never in a hurry about his own marriage, he was very concerned about his subordinates who were like flowers and jade.
So Xiao Jinglin thought about it and said to Ren Yaoqi, "I'll deal with some things first, and I'll talk to you later."
Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jinglin and said with a smile: "Well, go and do your own thing."
Xiao Jinglin felt that Ren Yaoqi's smile seemed to have a deeper meaning, but she didn't ask more, just left with Hongying.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jinglin's back but shook his head with a smile, and couldn't help but recall the General Min he had met before.
The Min family had a bad debt with the Xian Wangfu, but Ren Yaoqi didn't like Min Wenqing, nor did she feel bad. Thinking of what she had heard about this general Min, she didn't think Min Wenqing would be idle. At this time, she personally came to Xiao Jinglin to propose marriage for her lieutenant.
She just didn't know if her county master could see through Min Wenqing's little abacus.
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but sigh. Xiao Jinglin's wish is to be stationed at the border. Ren Yaoqi hopes that she can live as she wishes, but she does not want to see Xiao Jinglin die alone in that bitter cold place. Ren Yaoqi would feel much more relieved if he could be accompanied by a like-minded person.
When Xiao Jinglin went to the outer hall, Min Wenqing was sitting in the guest seat enjoying tea leisurely.
