Lin Shi was so frightened that he even forgot the pain.
On the other hand, the fifth master Lin Shimao reacted, and hurriedly walked to Lin Shi and asked anxiously, "Did you get any burns?" Then he turned to the old lady and said, "Mother, Huijun, she is also kind and doesn't want to see her sister and brother-in-law. Stupid. How could you splash her with hot tea?"
Mrs. Lin pointed at his nose angrily and scolded: "You are also a white-eyed wolf! I have raised you for so many years in vain! Get out! Get me out!"
Because the fifth master was the youngest son of the old lady, he was also spoiled and grew up. He had never been scolded by his mother like this by pointing his nose like this, and he was immediately overwhelmed by fright.
The other children and grandchildren were also startled by the old lady's sudden temper and didn't know how to react.
Ren Yaoqi stood far behind his parents, secretly looking at the people with different expressions in the field.
Until Ren Shijia stood up and persuaded Mrs. Ren in a low voice: "Mother, fifth sister-in-law and fifth brother are also for my good. It's none of their business."
The old lady Ren looked around at everyone, and finally gave her daughter who was pregnant with Liujia face, took a deep breath, and said a little tiredly: "You all go down."
Everyone bowed to salute the old lady, but Lin finally came back to her senses, covering her face and crying and ran out.
The fifth master wanted to chase him out, but seeing his mother's cold face, he was afraid that chasing him regardless of his manners would make his wife more difficult to be a man. He could only follow everyone out of the room slowly, and when he came out, he caught a woman and informed Lin's whereabouts, raised the corner of his robe and ran away.
His appearance made several children in the Ren family laugh, and the eldest master Ren Shizhong coughed lightly, glanced at his sons and nephews, and silenced them all.
Everyone went back to the hospital.
On the second day, the fifth wife, Mrs. Lin, ate the first place in front of the old lady, and everyone in the Ren family knew about it, and no one knew who spread it out.
In the early spring of Yanbei, although it is still cold in the morning and evening, there is also the breath of spring everywhere. At the corner of the wall, greenery began to sprout on the branches, and they were full of vitality.
Sister-in-law Yuan entered the house again and brought two pairs of spring shoes, saying that the little sister of the Zhu family made them for Ren Yaoqi.
Two days after the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Yuan came into the house as Ren Yaoqi ordered. Ren Yaoqi asked the maid to tell her that she had asked the third master to go to the mine to say hello. Ruomei is gone. Another sister-in-law Yuan was pleasantly surprised.
Sure enough, on the second day when Mrs. Yuan returned, the manager of the coal mine returned Zhu Ruomei's deed of prostitution to him, and paid him an extra copy when paying him wages, saying it was the grace of the third master and the fifth lady.
Zhu's family was very grateful, and Zhu Ruomei took her mother and sister to Yunyang City to seek medical treatment on the same day.
During this period, every time Mrs. Yuan came to Ren's house, she would bring some things brought by Zhu's family, sometimes some fresh game, fur, and even pickles made by Zhu's family.
Ren Yaoqi accepted it, and sometimes gave some gifts in return, and asked about sister-in-law Zhu's condition.
Although the materials for the two pairs of embroidered shoes made by the little sister of Zhu's family are ordinary, they put a lot of thought into the workmanship. The stitches are very fine. When Sister Yuan came last time, I asked Xiangqin about her shoe size.
He instructed the maid Apple to put away the two pairs of shoes and put them on when the weather was warmer. Ren Yaoqi summoned the maid Xue Li to change her clothes. She wanted to go to Ren Shijia's Nuanxiang Pavilion today.
After I changed my clothes and came out, I heard Apple's soft sobbing and Qingmei's reprimand.
Ren Yaoqi called the two of them over.
Qingmei said first: "Miss, this new little maid doesn't know the rules. You handed over the clothes of the four seasons to her, but she received the silk clothes and the fur clothes together. The servant just gave you some spring shirts. When I found it, I found that it was covered with fluff."
"It's not a slave, that's what the slave received when he took over." Apple sobbed.
"You still dare to quibble!" Qingmei shouted.
After the Spring Festival, four new maids came to Ren Yaoqi's room, replacing all the little maids originally arranged by Aunt Fang. After observing for a while, Ren Yaoqi asked Mammy Zhou to put one of the maids named Apple and the other maid named Sangyu second class.
Now in Ren Yao's off-plan house, there are still two people, Sydney and Qingmei, who were left by the previous concubine Fang.
In the face of this kind of change, Sydney's temperament is relatively calm, but she is more respectful and diligent towards Ren Yaoqi on weekdays. On the other hand, Qingmei is very uneasy, so these days she has been looking for the trouble of a few new maids to highlight her ability. The newly-raised second-class maid, Apple, was often picked on by her because of her simple and honest temperament.
Ren Yaoqi saw it in his eyes, but did not interfere deliberately. There is a lack of available people around her, which is very inconvenient for her to do things in the future. As for who can be used, she needs to observe before making a decision.
She stayed in Sydney because she felt that this maid was very knowledgeable and flexible enough, as long as she could hold her, it would be a help.
As for Qingmei, keeping her here is actually to sharpen the newly arrived maids. And she has other arrangements for Qingmei.
To be faithful and to be of great use is something that can be met but not unavoidable. Availability and loyalty, it's good to have one.
"Sydney." Ren Yaoqi called out.
"The servant is here."
"Mother Zhou is still looking for the housekeeper for me. Before the housekeeper comes, you will be in charge of the house, including dealing with disputes between the maids." Ren Yaoqi waved his hand.
Sydney bowed her head and said yes, looking at Qingmei and Apple.
"Before Apple came, who was in charge of Miss Four Seasons' clothes?" Although she asked, Sydney's eyes were fixed on Qingmei.
Qingmei gritted her teeth.
Ren Yaoqi took the approach of suppressing one of the two maids who were originally sent by Aunt Fang and promoting the other. Therefore, the two people who had a harmonious relationship in the past are now in conflict.
"Qingmei?" Seeing that Qingmei didn't speak, Sydney called her again.
Glancing at Ren Yaoqi, Qingmei gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, slave, maid!"
"I remember that the new spring shirts made this year have not been delivered to the sewing room. The spring shirts in the box should still be the old clothes from last year. You also handed over the key of the box to Apple not long ago. I was also there when the box was counted. These She hasn't touched the old clothes yet."
Qingmei stared at Sydney, turned her head to the side angrily, her lips squirmed, not knowing what she was scolding in secret.
Sydney pretended not to have seen it, and continued: "Qingmei broke the young lady's clothes, and she also shied the responsibility and was fined half a month. If you commit the crime again, it will be handed over to Zhou Ma's disposal. Are you convinced?"
Qingmei was naturally unconvinced, but she was afraid that Sydney would really hand her over to Mammy Zhou. Mammy Zhou's strictness was well known in Ziweiyuan, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
Ren Yaoqi then stood up and asked, "Is it done?"
Sydney bowed her head and said, "Yes, Miss, it has been dealt with."
Ren Yaoqi nodded and walked out: "I'm going to my aunt's yard, you guys get ready, I'll go to my mother's place first."
The maids agreed in unison.
Ren Yaoqi went to the Li family's room and sat down, but the mammy outside came to report that Young Master Biao and Young Master Wen were here.
Li Shi was very surprised when he heard this. Young Master Biao was referring to the old lady's nephew Qiu Yun. He never came to Ziweiyuan to ask for peace when he came to Ren's house. He didn't know how he came today. As for Young Master Wen, Yun Wenfang is even more rare.
"Come in quickly." Mrs. Li hurriedly said.
Ren Yaoqi frowned secretly, these two people came here today and don't know what to do
Qiu Yun and Yun Wenfang came to greet him.
Seeing what Qiu Yun said at the scene: "...I often come here to be harassed by the family, but it is rare to come here to the third uncle and three aunts to ask for peace, and please forgive my nephew for being rude."
Yun Wen was also very polite to speak in front of Li, but when no one was paying attention, he turned his attention to Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi lowered his head, eyes, nose, nose and heart, pretending to know nothing.
I just heard Qiu Yun say: "...The spring is just right, my nephew wants to invite some cousins and cousins to go out to the countryside together, and stop by the Bailong Temple outside the city to eat vegetarian food. If the third aunt is free, it's even better if we can come together. All right."
Although Li Shi was a little surprised, she still smiled and said, "Just a few of your brothers and sisters go, and the third aunt won't go."
Qiu Yun raised his head and said cheerfully, "Then the third aunt promised the fifth and third sisters to go?"
Li looked at Ren Yaoqi, smiled lovingly and said, "Since everyone is going, you and your third sister should also go together?"
The Li family naturally hoped that Sister Ren Yaoqi would be on good terms with Qiu Yun and the future successor of the Yun family. The two sisters have no real brothers, it would be better if they could be taken care of by their cousin Qiu Yun in the future.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Qiu Yun and asked, "My third brother, fourth sister, seventh sister, and eighth sister are also going?"
Qiu Yun smiled and nodded: "Of course we will go together, I have already agreed with them."
Ren Yaoqi was speechless, Li Shi had already answered for her, what else could she do
Qiu Yun's goal had been achieved, so he politely got up and said goodbye.
Li said to Ren Yaoqi, "Didn't you say you were going to see your aunt? Let's go out together. Mother won't go to Nuanxiang Pavilion today."
Ren Yaoqi also got up and said goodbye.
After leaving Li's main room, Ren Yaoqi smiled and said to Qiu Yun and Yun Wenfang, "Cousin and Young Master Wen take a slow walk, I have to go back to the room to clean up."
Yun Wenfang raised his eyebrows: "Jin Yuan and I are also going to greet Aunt Ren, shall we go together?"
Ren Yaoqi always felt that today's Yun Wenfang was a little weird. She knew that he would never give up until his goal was achieved, so she could only reluctantly nodded and went back to her room to clean up.
