Li Tianyou stood at the door with his hands behind his back and watched them leave with a smile, shouting, "Let's play again next time." Turning around, he whispered to Xia Sheng who was standing behind him: "That girl Yaohua is getting more and more fierce! "
When Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua came out, the Ren family's carriage was already waiting outside. After the original Ren Yaohua was found by Xia Sheng, a few maids followed, and a few wives were sent back to call for a car.
Although it was not too late at this time, the sky was dark. Ren Yaoqi looked up at the sky and found that there were dark clouds rolling in the sky not far away, and it seemed that another heavy rain was about to fall.
After returning to Bailong Temple by car, the two sisters went to see the eldest wife, Mrs. Wang.
Seeing that they were back, Mr. Wang didn't say anything. He only politely asked the two grandfather's family, and Ren Yaoqi answered them appropriately.
Wang Shi said: "I originally wanted to send someone to pick you up, but it was getting late, but looking at the sky outside, it seemed that there was still a heavy rain to fall. The woman I sent out said that the one ahead was lower. There is a lot of water accumulated on the road, and it will be bad if there is heavy rain on the way…”
Just as Wang Shi was saying this, everyone heard a sudden muffled thunder outside, and the ground seemed to be shaking, and then they heard someone running outside and shouting that it was raining.
Wang Shi reluctantly looked back at Zhao Shi: "Some things are really unspoken."
Zhao shi shook his head with a wry smile and walked to the window, pushed the window open, and sure enough, it was raining heavily outside, and there were also lightning and thunder.
"Mother, you're right, I'm afraid I really won't be able to go back today."
The eldest lady nodded: "Let someone go and tell the monk monk, we are staying in their guest house today."
Bailong Temple has some guest houses specially prepared for the female relatives who go up the mountain. They are separated from the monks' residences in the temple, but they can be taken care of by the temple. There is no safety concern and it is very safe. The wife didn't feel embarrassed about staying overnight.
The Zhao family went down to make arrangements, and the eldest wife asked Ren Yaoyu, Ren Yijun, and Qiu Yun to call over.
Those people had already come back when it was raining. When Ren Yaoyu came in, they were close to Qiu Yun and Yun Wenfang, covering their mouths and whispering something, looking familiar, Ren Yaoyin also came over.
As soon as Yun Wenfang came in, he glanced at Ren Yaoqi with a look of dissatisfaction. He approached and said, "I asked people to look for you several times in the afternoon, but no one was there. Originally, I wanted to take you to the bottom of the mountain for a walk. ."
Looking at Ren Yaoyu's eye-catching gaze, Ren Yaoqi nodded politely: "My third sister and I met my uncle, and we went over to visit."
Ren Yaoyu pouted and said with a smile, "Is that the uncle of your grandson? I heard that he can sing? When will you sing for us?"
Li Tianyou can sing, but he has always been entertaining himself, and Ren Yaoyu's words are a bit contemptuous.
Ren Yaohua glanced at Ren Yaoyu with a smile: "Are you worthy too?"
Ren Yaoyu's face sank, and she was about to go back sarcastically. The eldest lady sitting at the top saw it and stopped: "What are you doing? Are there any rules! Whoever makes a fool of himself will be grounded!"
Ren Yaoyin pulled Ren Yaoyu to persuade in a low voice, "The eighth sister shouldn't say that to the elders of the third and fifth sisters."
Ren Yaoqi has been a little distracted. She has no intention of paying attention to these bickering. She is worried about Dongsheng's side, and she doesn't know if he has gone.
When the rain was a little lighter, the eldest wife moved the juniors of the Ren family to the guest house prepared by Bailong Temple.
The yard as soon as you enter is somewhat similar to the one where Li Tianyou lived before, but one is on the mountain and the other is down the mountain.
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua lived in the first room in the west wing, while Ren Yaoyu and Ren Yaoyin lived in the second room in the west wing. Qiu Yun, Yun Wenfang, Ren Yijun, Ren Yijian, and Ren Yihong lived separately in the east wing. The eldest wife and the eldest young lady lived in the main room. Xiao Jingxi sat quietly in front of the kang table and played chess. The noisy rain outside did not disturb him in the slightest. His calm and gentle face was leisurely and focused.
The little servant who was standing outside suddenly walked in with He, but he didn't speak immediately, he just bowed his head and stood in front of the couch waiting.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Jingxi didn't look up, he was still playing with a black piece in his hand. The black jade piece showed a warm luster between his slender fingers, but a small movement could attract everyone's attention.
Tong He lowered his head and whispered, "Master, Li Tianyou's entourage, Dong Sheng, asked to see you, saying that he came to visit you on behalf of the master." Tong He's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something, but his words were clear.
Xiao Jingxi's hand paused, then slowly landed on the chessboard, and said in a low voice, "No."
Tong He was not surprised, and he bowed his head and said yes without hesitation, then turned around and went out.
After Tong He left, Xiao Jingxi looked at the chessboard with a thoughtful gaze.
The rain outside was still very fast, and a lightning bolt exploded in the air, and it was as bright as day in an instant. Xiao Jingxi's complexion was as peaceful and comfortable as before under the reflection of this light, motionless as a mountain.
After a long time, Tong He gently pushed the door and walked in.
"Son."
Xiao Jingxi raised his eyes: "What's the matter?"
Tong He replied: "Xiao has already replied that you are not seeing guests, and the man didn't say anything, just stood at the door of our yard motionless. Xiao had people to persuade him a few times, but he didn't say anything and didn't leave. Some people who passed by the gate of our courtyard pointed and pointed. Some people even recognized his entourage next to Li Tianyou. I was afraid…”
He was afraid that although Li Tianyou was already abolished the prince, he was still surnamed Li after all.
Xiao Jingxi didn't say anything after hearing the words. He still lowered his head and played his chess score, as if he hadn't heard him. Tong He stood there a little uneasy.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Jingxi put the pieces in his hand into the chess jar, and said in a low voice, "Let him in."
Tong He Rumeng let out a sigh of relief, bowed and stepped back.
Dongsheng was brought up by the police, and when he stood in front of Xiao Jingxi, he kept dripping water on the ground, soaking the ground covered with lichen in the middle of the room, and Tong He glanced at his feet several times.
Dongsheng saluted Xiao Jingxi without saying a word, and the etiquette was thoughtful and meticulous, making it difficult to pick out.
Xiao Jingxi let him salute with a calm and comfortable expression, and nodded with a smile: "Say hello to your master for me too."
As he said that, he picked up the blue and white tea cup at hand, and motioned to congratulate the guest.
Tong He looked at Dongsheng and waited for him to leave.
Dongsheng, however, took out an open letter from his chest like a deaf ear, and placed it on Xiao Jing's west kang table on his own.
Xiao Jingxi was a little surprised, looking at the letter in front of him that was hidden in Dongsheng's arms without getting wet, the smile on his face became extremely pale.
For some reason, Dongsheng felt that the room was suffocated for a moment, and even his breathing became a little difficult.
"What does your master mean?" Xiao Jingxi suddenly chuckled and asked leisurely.
Dong Sheng licked his chapped lips: "The little one is here to ask Second Young Master Xiao for help."
Xiao Jingxi no longer glanced at the letter, staring at Dongsheng with a smile, but a very indifferent smile, he said softly and slowly: "This is your attitude to ask for help? It doesn't matter whether others are willing to no?"
Dongsheng didn't know why, but his mind was stunned, but he still said bravely: "My master said that sometimes he obviously doesn't want to help, but people have to come together by themselves, and the thinner-skinned ones just push the boat to help. A gang is always just a little effort, so why don’t you save yourself? Maybe you can create a good relationship for yourself, so that the people you rescue will be grateful and save your life at a critical moment.”
Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't know what to do with his face. He suddenly smiled, shook his head and said warmly, "Who is your master? Is it Li or Ren?"
Seeing that he guessed correctly, Dongsheng was a little surprised, more ashamed, but he felt a little relieved. After all, Xiao Jingxi Ken answered him: "There are people with the surname of Li and the surname of Ren."
Xiao Jingxi smiled but not smiled: "Has your master said, what if that person doesn't know how to repay his gratitude?"
Dongsheng couldn't control his hand that wanted to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and shook his head honestly under the pressure: "Master didn't say, just said 'do not do to others what you want to do'. You can't just allow state officials to set fire, not allow them to set fire. The people light the lamps."
Xiao Jingxi was silent for a moment after hearing the words, then reached out and took the opened letter in his hand: "What does this letter say?"
Dong Sheng swallowed, lowered his head and recited the contents of the letter without hesitation.
Xiao Jingxi glanced at him, threw the letter back on the kang table, and said in a low voice, "Go back first."
Xiao Jingxi's words did not give Dongsheng any promises, which made him feel a little clueless, and could not help but say: "Second son Xiao, this matter has nothing to do with my master, and he doesn't know the content of this letter, he doesn't know anything. If there is something, the little one is willing to take it upon himself."
Xiao Jingxi tilted his head and said mildly and indifferently: "Oh? How can you do it all?"
