Ren Yaoting is considered to be arrogant among the sisters of the Ren family. If she hadn't been eager to know how the marriage between Ren Yaohua and Han Yunqian was, she would not have rushed to talk to Ren Yaohua.
"Fifth elder sister, look at the third elder sister, she is too much! I didn't say anything and she just made me angry!" Ren Yaoting finally endured it, instead of walking away, he complained to Ren Yaoqi. .
"No wonder you hated her so much before, and the eighth sister didn't like her either."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and waited for Ren Yaoting to set the stage and said the following.
"I was concerned about her before and wanted to ask a question. I heard yesterday that something happened to the Han family, and the marriage between our Ren family and the Han family will not be completed." Ren Yaoting looked at Ren Yaoqi and asked tentatively, "Have you heard of Fifth Sister?"
Ren Yaoqi frowned slightly when he heard the words: "Who did you listen to?"
"What? Isn't it?"
Ren Yaoqi hesitated for a while, then whispered: "I only heard that my grandfather will wait for the Han family to settle down before discussing it, and he did not say that he would not marry the Han family. , the matter of marriage is related to all aspects, it is not a child's play, how can it be said that it will not end if it is not done?"
"Didn't my second brother break up with Miss Liu's engagement? Besides, the third sister and Young Master Han have not formally discussed marriage." Ren Yaoting defended.
Ren Yaoqi smiled and shook his head: "What is your analogy? Why did the Ren family break up with the Liu family?"
The Ren family wants to contact the Liu family for a marriage contract because the Liu family has no use value, and this marriage is not good for the Ren family. Although Ren Yaoting was not as thorough as Ren Yaoqi, she had heard Yuan Yiniang cry in front of her mother before, so she understood it in her heart.
It is said that the Ren family and the Han family got married because the two families planned to build a salt farm together. Then the Ren family and the Han family still have plans to cooperate, so it is very likely that Ren Yaohua and Han Yunqian's marriage will be discussed again. Ren Yaoting thought so, his face became a little decadent.
"Last time I heard my grandmother and my aunt chat, saying that your grandfather Su's family is about to buy a salt field in Xining?" Ren Yaoqi asked casually.
Ren Yaoting had also heard her mother and the nanny beside her talk about this, and nodded: "I heard that the original owner of the salt farm, the Sun family, did something wrong, so he wanted to sell the salt farm. But the Yun family I also want to buy the Sun Family Salt Field. My eldest uncle has negotiated with there several times, but nothing came of it."
Ren Yaoqi said thoughtfully: "I seem to have heard that the salt well in the hands of the Han family is also near Xining? In fact, if our Ren family really regrets not wanting to cooperate with the Han family this time, we are afraid that the Han family will be offended. Yes. I know seventh sister, you have a good relationship with Miss Han, but I don't know if it will affect your relationship."
Ren Yaoting was moved when he heard the words.
She just kept thinking that if the cooperation between the Han family and the Ren family fails, then the marriage between Ren Yaohua and Han Yunqian will also fail. But she forgot that she was also a member of the Ren family. If the Ren family and the Han family fell out, not only would Ren Yaohua's marriage fall through, but she would not even have a chance to marry the Han family.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, and suddenly tilted his head like a joke and said with a smile: "Actually, the Han family doesn't know when the trouble will come this time, and they don't have the Ren family to join in. Can the salt field in their hands be completed? It’s still a question, why don’t you sell it to someone else, for example to… the Su family? If the Han family doesn’t want to sell, it’s okay to partner with the Su family.”
Ren Yaoting was stunned when she heard the words. She thought about it for a long time, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this method was a good idea.
If the Han family and the Ren family partnered, she would definitely not be able to take advantage. But if she can find a way to bridge the gap between the Han family and the Su family, it will not only help the Han family through this crisis, but also make the Han family look at her with admiration.
Although the current old lady of the Su family is not her grandmother, her grandfather, eldest uncle, and aunt love her very much.
It can be said that the partnership between the Han family and the Su family is more beneficial to her than the partnership between the Han family and the Ren family.
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoting felt that the dark clouds that had been shrouded in front of her during this period of time had all vanished.
"The fifth sister is right! We and the Han family are all in a relationship with the Han family looking down and not looking up. What if there is a deadlock? I'll go talk to my mother now." Ren Yaoting couldn't sit still, got up and said.
Ren Yaoqi seemed startled, and hurriedly said: "Seventh sister, I'm just joking. This is a big matter for the elders, and we don't want to interfere, so don't take it seriously. If you let the second aunt and the others know that I am here You will be blamed for this nonsense."
Ren Yaoting smiled and said, "I don't want to tell anyone what you said." She still wanted to sell the Han family, so Ren Yaoqi would be better off not taking responsibility.
Ren Yaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, and said curiously, "Does the seventh sister really plan to talk to the second aunt? How do you convince the second aunt about such a big event? Sometimes when I want to discuss something with my mother, my mother always I hate that I am young, ignorant, and unwilling to believe it."
Ren Yaoting thought while hearing the words, and sat down again.
"I said that the Han family and the Ren family can't be deadlocked because of this, but the uncle and grandfather are cautious, so if the Su family intervenes, everyone will be happy?" Ren Yaoting pondered.
Ren Yaoqi shook his head and guided her in a soft voice: "You asked the Su family to intervene, but what you said was to benefit the Han family and the Ren family? In fact, the partnership between the Han family and the Ren family is mutually beneficial. As far as the Su family is concerned, the Ren family is more well-connected and has the background of the Yanbei palace, so the salt farm will be run more smoothly. But for the Su family... Isn't the Su family competing for the Sun's salt farm in Xining with the Yunyun family? Han The family's salt well is also near Xining. If the salt well can be opened, the Su family will have a lot of convenience and confidence to buy the Sun family's salt field. Maybe Yanbei Wangfu will stand on the side of the Su family after consideration. maybe."
Ren Yaoting's eyes brightened when he heard the words: "That's a good idea! If my mother doesn't agree, I'll go talk to my eldest uncle. Fifth sister, you are so smart!"
Ren Yaoqi smiled and blinked: "Why am I smart? I don't dare to intervene in this kind of big thing. It's obviously your own, Seventh Sister. Don't rely on me and let me be scolded by my grandfather and grandmother."
Ren Yaoting understood and blinked: "The fifth sister is right, this is what I thought, and it has nothing to do with you." Saying this, she felt that her relationship with Ren Yaoqi had also become closer.
But she thought about this in her mind, afraid that the Ren family would change her mind immediately, so she got up and smiled again: "Fifth sister, I have to go back first, thank you very much today."
Ren Yaoqi got up to say goodbye: "What did the seventh sister say, the third sister has an upright temperament, please don't bother with her."
At this time, Ren Yaoting didn't care about Ren Yaohua's cold words, he said nothing very generously and hurried away.
Ren Yaoqi smiled as she watched her hurried back disappear into the courtyard.
No matter how much Ren Yaoting is loved by the Su family, the Su family will not disregard the family's interests for her sake. So if you want to pull the Su family into the game, you can only lure them with interests.
Now that the Su family is competing with the Yun family for a piece of fat in the Xining salt field, the salt well of the Han family is actually very eye-catching, and it is not just the Ren family who will be moved.
And with the style of the Su family in the past, they would not act as cautiously as the Ren family. Because with the strength of the Su family, they are not afraid of the Han family making trouble behind their backs.
I just hope that Ren Yaoting, who went to spread the word, can live up to his expectations and not screw things up.
Ren Yaoqi just went back to the house and sat down, and Ren Yaohua came back.
"What did you tell her, she was so happy when she left?" Ren Yaohua sat down directly opposite Ren Yaoqi and frowned at Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi looked innocent: "She was talking to me about the Han family and the Ren family. Halfway through, she suddenly thought of something, and then left in a hurry."
Ren Yaohua frowned even more, and looked at Ren Yaoqi suspiciously: "You really don't know what's going on?"
Ren Yaoqi sighed lightly: "Third sister, why do you care so much about her? As long as she doesn't want to go against you, it's fine if she doesn't secretly plot against you."
Ren Yaohua pursed her lips: "Are you sure she's not plotting against me?"
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "She doesn't have time to plot against you now, and you don't want to provoke her in the future. She's not the same person, she tossed her, we passed ours, and it's irrelevant."
Ren Yaoqi said this in a soft tone, but his meaning was extremely indifferent.
Ren Yaohua was silent for a moment, but after all, he didn't ask any more questions.
After Ren Yaoting returned to Dongfu, he went straight to her mother's main room.
The second wife of the East Mansion, Mrs. Su, was listening to the report from the nanny beside her about the backyard.
"...Last month, Master spent fifteen days in Concubine Lan's room, eight days in Concubine Xia's room, five days in Concubine Yuan's room, and two days in the main room. Madam, Aunt Lan, do you want to…”
Mrs Su was sitting behind the desk and reading the ledger, and she listened a little carelessly, and finally said lightly without raising her head: "No need. The children in this mansion are all grown up, and the old lady complained that the mansion had grown up a few days ago. It's too deserted and not as lively as the West Mansion. It's time to add a grandchild or two to her."
Seeing Mrs Su's words so happy, the maid was a little uncomfortable: "Madam, you are actually still young. The servant asked Mrs Wen, you can still have children yourself. Why do you want to cheap those foxes?"
Hearing the words, Mrs Su looked up from the ledger, revealing a very ordinary face. Her eyes are not large, the bridge of her nose is not upright, and her lips are slightly thicker. Fortunately, her fair skin adds some color to her.
"Concubine Xia's medicine should be stopped." Su shi ignored the mother's words, and instead explained to her, "However, you have served the master for so many years, and there is no credit or hard work. Whoever gets pregnant first depends on them. luck."
Su's voice was extremely light, and the expression on her face was also peaceful, her outstanding temperament did not match her ordinary appearance.
