"A good place will make the seedlings prosperous, and if the house is auspicious, the people will be prosperous. When my great-grandfather was alive, he believed in these feng shui techniques." Ren Yaoqi replied quietly.
"Oh? Could it be that Fifth Young Lady also believes this?" Han Yunqian smiled and turned his face sideways.
"Young Master Han, don't you believe it?"
Han Yunqian was silent for a moment, as if thinking.
Ren Yaoqi looked at his back from behind, Han Yunqian's body was like a bamboo, his back was straight, and he had a quiet and heavy temperament when he didn't speak.
After a while, he said slowly: "My grandfather doesn't believe this, I remember that the ancestral house in Jizhou was going to be renovated a few years ago, and the uncles in the clan all said that they wanted to find a Feng Shui master to have a look. Refused."
"I don't really believe this either." Ren Yaoqi smiled slightly, "This house is not the ancestral house of the Ren family. It was bought by my great-grandfather from a wealthy family at the time. The original owner of the house moved south because he was hiding from the Liao people. If this feng shui is really effective, shouldn't they sit at home and be safe? Why should the family move south?"
Han Yunqian looked at Ren Yaoqi, because his face was light, Ren Yaoqi could not see his expression.
After a while, he smiled and nodded in agreement: "The fifth lady is right."
"I heard that the Han family has settled in Jizhou for generations?" Ren Yaoqi asked casually.
"It's recorded in the Han family's family tree." Han Yunqian said mildly.
"I haven't been to Jizhou, and I don't know that the living habits of Jizhou people are not far from our Yanzhou people. But I see that you and Sister You are not much different from our Yanzhou people. There are people born in Yanzhou in your family. people?"
Hearing this, Han Yunqian lowered his head and thought for a while, then smiled and replied, "No. But my grandfather's foreign ancestry seems to be near Yanzhou, but after decades, relatives here in Yanzhou have long since been found. Maybe it’s also moved south. I heard that when Yanbei was in chaos, Yanzhou was also ten rooms and nine empty spaces.”
Ren Yaoqi was thinking that Han Yunqian's answer really had no flaws. Even his grandfather's speech occasionally brought out some Yanzhou accent, which can be explained.
"Is the fifth lady here to visit the garden?" Han Yunqian looked at Ren Yaoqi and asked with a smile.
Ren Yaoqi said casually: "I passed by the veranda and saw someone in this garden. The back looks a bit like my second cousin in the East House. I originally wanted to say hello, but I didn't want to but it turned out to be you."
Ren Yilin, the concubine of the second master of the Dongfu, is about the same height as Han Yunqian, and from the perspective of the back, they are really similar.
Han Yunqian laughed, looked at Ren Yaoqi and said, "So that's the case, but Yun Qian was abrupt and asked Fifth Young Lady to make amends."
At this time, there seemed to be the footsteps of several people from behind. Ren Yaoqi turned back and saw Ren Yiyan and Ren Yihong coming here, and behind them were Ren Yaohua, Ren Yaoting and Han You.
"Fifth sister, when did you come? I was just about to ask someone to ask you to come with the eighth sister." Ren Yiyan saw Ren Yaoqi and Han Yunqian stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
Ren Yaohua, Ren Yaoting, and Han You also saw Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaoting's eyes stopped on Ren Yaoqi and Han Yunqian for a long time, and then he said with a smile instead of a smile: "The fifth sister came out to visit the garden? What a coincidence."
Ren Yaohua said lightly to Ren Yaoqi, "Didn't the maid tell you to wait in the pavilion in front?"
This means that she asked Ren Yaoqi to come.
Ren Yaoting glanced at Ren Yaohua suspiciously, and then looked at Ren Yaoqi, who had an upright face, and his face became better.
Han Yunqian smiled and said, "I heard someone coming. I thought it was Brother Yiyan, so I came over to say hello, but I didn't want to, but I met Fifth Young Lady. It's my rudeness."
Ren Yaohua glanced at Ren Yaoqi and turned her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Ren Yaoqi walked up to them and asked Ren Yaoting with a smile, "When did the seventh sister come here?"
"I heard that Sister You is here, and my mother went to Jizhou because of the second brother's marriage, so I came to see." Ren Yaoting turned his head and smiled at Han You.
"Second aunt went to Jizhou?" Ren Yaoqi was slightly surprised.
"Well, I went there early this morning, and it's estimated that I won't be back in two days." Ren Yaoting said casually.
Ren Yaoting said that the second wife went to Jizhou for the marriage of her concubine Ren Yilin, but Ren Yaoqi knew that the second wife was actually going to break off the marriage.
In the eyes of outsiders, the second wife, Mrs. Su, is a perfect and good mistress. She manages the family well, is gentle and humble, and is not jealous. The concubines of the second master of the East Mansion are all well-behaved and rarely cause any trouble. The two concubines, Ren Yilin and Ren Yixin, also respect this mother-in-law very much.
So it is not surprising that she will run for the marriage of her concubine.
However, what Ren Yaoqi thought was that she wondered whether the girl from Liu Ju's family would commit suicide because of her divorce.
"Now that the spring is just right, how about going to sit in the pavilion?" Ren Yiyan suggested.
"Sister Ting said she wanted to play the piano for us, so it's just right to go to Tingzhong." Han You said happily.
Ren Yaoting pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm here to show my ugliness, why do you have to shout so loudly that everyone knows?"
Han You blinked: "I'll hear it later anyway."
"It's so good, I'll let someone go back and get the piano." Ren Yiyan smiled.
"I have asked the maid to go back and marry." Ren Yaoting said hurriedly.
She still came prepared.
Several people went to the pavilion and sat together.
Ren Yaoqi found that Ren Yaoyin, who should have come, did not come. asked a question.
Ren Yiyan said: "Fourth younger sister has a cold and her voice is a little hoarse. She said that she will sin against Young Master Han and Miss Han next time."
Ren Yaoting's qin really quickly took it. She burned incense and cleaned her hands, sat in the courtroom, and played yaoqin with her hands.
In all fairness, Ren Yaoting played the piano fairly well, so it was no wonder that she dared to show her ugliness. Everyone was sitting or standing, listening quietly.
Han Yunqian was originally standing facing the lotus pond, but with a sudden "clanging--", Han Yunqian frowned and looked back, but it happened to meet the affectionate eyes of Ren Yaoting, who was playing the piano.
Han You suddenly smiled, and seeing everyone looking at her, she said a little embarrassedly: "It was me who told Sister Ting that my brother has a very good ear, so long as there is a slight error in the sound of the piano, he can hear it. My sister didn't believe it, so she just gave it a try. Look, I'm right, right? He won't notice if you play it well, and if you make a wrong note, he'll frown."
Everyone present was proficient in rhythm and recalled that Ren Yaoting seemed to have played a wrong note just now. Although it was not obvious, Han Yunqian really noticed it immediately.
But this makes people think of a sentence: "The song is wrong, Zhou Lang Gu."
According to legend, this Zhou Lang is also proficient in musical rhythm like Han Yunqian. Even if he is drunk, he can immediately detect if the person playing the piano makes a mistake, and then looks at the person who plays the wrong piano and smiles at her. There have been many women who liked him deliberately played the wrong sound, just to attract Zhou Lang.
Does Ren Yaoting blatantly imply that she is interested in Han Yunqian
Han You had a pure heart and didn't think so much at first, but when she saw everyone's faces were a little strange, after thinking about it carefully, she understood, and her face couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
It was Ren Yiyan who helped Han You with a gentle smile: "So it turns out that Brother Han has this problem too? My third brother also likes the rhythm. When he listens to the piano, I will definitely give it a try. If he can't hear it, I will Jokes him for being arty."
Ren Yiyan, the eldest brother, has the demeanor of an older brother on weekdays, and he is also more popular among sisters and brothers, so everyone smiled.
Han Yunqian didn't seem to notice anything, he smiled lightly, gentle and polite, but his eyes were calm.
Just as he was saying this, a maid ran over and said to Ren Yaoqi after salute: "Fifth Miss, the third master told you to go to the warm pavilion."
The maid said that the Dinuan Pavilion was the place where Han Yunqian and Ren Shimin and Ren Yijun played against each other last time. In the northwest corner of this garden, it is not too far from the Huxin Pavilion.
"When did the third uncle come back?" Ren Yiyan asked in surprise.
The maid said: "Not long after the third master came to the warm pavilion, he heard that several young masters and young ladies were here, so he asked the servants to come over and invite the fifth young lady to come over."
Ren Yaoqi got up, pleaded guilty to everyone, and followed the maid to the Northwest Dinuan Pavilion.
As soon as Ren Yaoqi went in, he saw Ren Shimin standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back. When he saw her coming in, he turned his head and said, "Come here and play a few games of chess with Daddy."
Ren Yaoqi sat in front of the chessboard behind Ren Shimin before raising his eyebrows and asked, "Daddy called me here to play chess?"
Ren Shimin glanced at Ren Yaoqi, sighed suddenly, and said helplessly: "I just came back from the outer courtyard, and your grandfather and Han Yunqian's father are talking about the marriage between Ren and Han."
Ren Yaoqi was shocked, why so fast
Seeing Ren Yaoqi's expression, Ren Shimin couldn't help shaking his head: "I heard that the Yanjing affair went well between the two parties, and both the Ren family and the Han family invested a lot, so..."
So continue a marriage to stabilize the relationship between the two
Ren Yaoqi frowned.
Maybe she was prejudiced against the Han family, why did she feel that the Han family urgently needed a marriage to gain the trust of the Ren family
"Your grandfather called me over just now. According to what he said, the person who the two families settled on should be your sister Yaohua."
Ren Yaoqi's face became more and more ugly.
The engagement came so quickly that she didn't have time to think of a way to stop it. Originally thought that without the interference of Ren Shimin and Ren Yijun in this life, it would take a while for the Han family and the Ren family to get married.
After all, the Han family came to the door for the first time for this matter today.
Is this the so-called destiny
"No one can change your grandfather's decision. I tentatively asked the other daughters of any family before? He said he had arrangements, and then sent me out."
Are there any arrangements? Ren Yaoqi couldn't help sneering.
If you really want to listen to his arrangements, none of them will end well.
"This is the end of the matter, you should stay away from Han Yunqian in the future." Ren Shimin suddenly said solemnly.
