"Death has been swallowed, and life is always sad. Jiangnan is a miasma, and there is no news of chasing guests. The old man entered my dream, and I clearly remember my appearance. You are in the net now, why do you have wings? The soul comes to the maple leaves, and the soul returns to the dark. The falling moon fills the beams of the house, and hesitantly reflects the color. The water is deep and the waves are wide, so no dragon can get it." Read it out softly.
Then his face changed, "Death has been swallowed, and life is always sad. Does it mean that Ruomei has already suffered an accident?"
Ren Yaoqi was also pondering this poem, but when he heard Yuan Dayong's guess, he shook his head and pondered: "That person took so much effort to follow you so far, it shouldn't be just to tell you that you want to The person who was looking for it is dead."
"Then what does this poem mean?" Yuan Dayong was very puzzled. "This person is really strange. If there is something he can't say well, he even plays a riddle!"
Ren Yaoqi's heart moved when he heard the words: "'Jun Jin is trapping' is it to guess riddles?"
"Guess the riddle?" Yuan Dayong's expression was a little weird. He felt that if that person was spending so much trouble trying to get them to guess the riddle, then this person would really have enough leisure time.
"Then what is the answer to this mystery?" Although Yuan Dayong was a little disapproving, he really couldn't think of what this sentence meant, so he could only treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor.
Ren Yaoqi tilted his head to think for a moment, then suddenly looked up and said, "White dragon fish suit?"
"Bailongyu suit? Is what the fifth lady said is the answer to the mystery?" Yuan Dayong frowned and thought for a moment, "'Your Majesty is in the net'... Bailongyu suit... also makes sense, but what do you want to explain?"
Ren Yaoqi shook his head and said softly, "I don't want to explain anything, I just want to tell us a place name."
"Place name?" Yuan Dayong was also stunned for a while. After thinking about it for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Bailong... Bailong Temple? The answer is Bailong Temple?"
Bailong Temple was built on Bailong Mountain. It is said that the origin of this place name is related to the story of Bailong Yufu. If "Jun is under arrest" implies "white dragon fish clothes", then it is very likely that it is really the White Dragon Temple.
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "If Yuan Ruomei is really in someone else's hands, then they will most likely come to tell us a location."
Yuan Dayong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard the words: "Then this person is really... What if we can't guess? Isn't it a waste of his hard work?" Yuan Dayong always felt that this person was a bit weird.
Ren Yaoqi is not very sure, it's just her guess.
"Then... go to Bailong Temple to check the situation?" Yuan Dayong asked.
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "Then be careful, it's better to bring some people with you."
However, Ren Yaoqi always felt that this person's actions did not look malicious, so Yuan Dayong retreated.
As soon as Ren Yaoqi returned to Ziwei Courtyard, Xi'er ran over from the main room.
"Fifth Miss, Madam asked you to go to the main room." Xi'er bowed and said respectfully.
Ren Yaoqi didn't go back to his west wing, and went straight to the main room where Xi'er entered.
Li Shizheng and Zhou Mama were talking in Dongci, Ren Yaoqi lifted the curtain and went in, and asked with a smile, "Mother, what are you looking for from me?"
Li waved his hand and let Ren Yaoqi sit down beside her, before frowning slightly and asking, "Qi'er, I heard that you often go out to meet people recently?"
When Ren Yaoqi came, she thought that Mrs. Li might ask her about it. Recently, she has indeed gone out more often.
Ren Yaoqi briefly told Li about the Zhu family.
Li shi nodded and said, "I know that you have a good heart, and it is a good thing to have a good relationship. Mother Zhou also mentioned to me the matter of sending things in from the Zhu family before, and I did not stop it. But they are outside after all. It’s not good for you, a woman who hasn’t left the cabinet to go out to meet guests. If they come again in the future, if they are women, they can be brought in to answer them, and if they are men, you can send a woman to see them.”
Ren Yaoqi originally wanted to say something, but seeing Li shi frowning and looking at her worriedly, she couldn't say anything, so she nodded first.
At this time, Ren Yaohua also lifted the curtain and came in.
Seeing that the two sisters were here, Mrs. Li smiled and said, "I called you here today because of the housekeeper's affairs. Mammy Zhou has already selected a housekeeper for each of your sisters. will enter the palace."
Mother Zhou also smiled and said, "The third and fifth misses will meet first today, and if they feel that they do not agree with the servants, they will choose again. This housekeeper must want you to agree. After you leave the house, they will It's going to follow."
That's what it means to pick a room.
Li said with great confidence: "Mother Zhou has chosen for so long, these two must be good."
However, Ren Yaoqi remembered one thing. In the last life, she did not ask Li to choose the housekeeper for her.
Ren Yaohua's housekeeping maid, Xu mama, heard that she was indeed capable. Later, when Ren Yaohua got married, Xu mama did not know what means to make her daughter replace a big maid next to Ren Yaohua. She married Ren Yaohua's dowry maid and went to Zeng's house.
After Ren Yaohua killed Zeng Kui, all the dowry maids around her suffered along with her, but Xu Mama's daughter was safe because she went to Zeng Tong to tell the secret.
She had heard a lot of people asking for honor from buyers, but this one was the most chilling to her.
Queer lifted the curtain and came in to report that Mama Xu and Mama Gao had arrived and were waiting outside.
Li nodded and asked Que'er to lead people in to speak.
Ren Yaoqi sat on the kang and waited silently.
But after a while, Queer brought in two women who were probably in their thirties.
The one walking in front was neatly dressed, her hair was meticulously pulled back, and although her expression was a little serious, her facial features were very delicate. At first glance, it looked a bit similar to Zhou Ma's style.
The one at the back was dressed a little more plainly, with a slightly round face and a proper kind smile on the corners of his mouth, looking very good-tempered.
Both women came forward to kowtow to Mrs. Li and the two young ladies. Mammy Zhou pointed at the serious-looking mama and said, "This is Mammy Xu, who was picked for Miss San."
He pointed at the round-faced one and introduced, "This is Mammy Gao, for Fifth Young Lady."
Ren Yaoqi looked at the two of them, Ren Yaohua glanced at Mama Xu who had chosen for her and nodded to Mrs Li, expressing that she had no opinion, and she had always trusted Mama Zhou very much.
Li looked at Ren Yaoqi and waited for her to express her position.
However, Ren Yaoqi suddenly looked at Ren Yaohua and said with a smile: "Third sister, shall we change the housekeeping mama? I looked at Xu mama and seemed to know some deja vu."
Everyone was stunned, Li glared at Ren Yaoqi and said angrily: "Qi'er, you are naughty again!"
Mammy Zhou looked a little embarrassed, Mama Xu chose it for Ren Yaohua, because Ren Yaohua would leave the cabinet a few years earlier than Ren Yaoqi, and in the future, she needed someone who could stand alone in her husband's family. It's been a good fit for a few times.
Ren Yaoqi made a face, pulled Ren Yaohua's sleeve, and pestered: "Third sister, let's change, change, change..."
Ren Yaohua frowned and glanced at Ren Yaoqi, then looked at the two maids, pulled Ren Yaoqi's hand away, and said impatiently, "Then let's change it. Just think about it, in the future. If you want to return it on a whim, I will ignore you!"
Ren Yaoqi smiled: "Thank you third sister."
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou looked at each other with helplessness on their faces.
But in the end, Mrs. Li is still happy. The two sisters are getting along well now, and they no longer want to be like enemies when they meet like that. She is a mother who sees it, and she is more than relieved.
Mother Zhou didn't want the two sisters to fall out because of this, so she didn't say anything.
Mammy Gao has also been carefully selected by her. Even if there are any shortcomings, she will be able to get on the stage if she takes it with her to teach for a while.
So the housekeeper was prepared for Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua. Just switched over.
Mammy Xu and Mammy Gao both came up with inconvenient expressions to kowtow to the new master.
Li said to them gently: "You all live in the small rooms in the east and west compartments. Today is the first day of entering the mansion. Go down and clean up first, and familiarize yourself with the situation in the mansion, and you will be officially on duty tomorrow."
The two maids thanked Mrs. Li again and got up and left.
Ren Yaoqi quietly looked at Xu Mama's back, the look in his eyes was unpredictable.
Although Mrs. Li arranged for the two housekeepers to be on duty again the next day, Mrs. Xu came to serve Ren Yaoqi in the evening.
When she reappeared, Madam Xu had already changed into the spring clothes that had been sent by her family. Her hair was still pulled into a meticulous bun, except for a silver comb, which was very capable and calm.
Ren Yaoqi asked Sydney to call all the eight maids in her house, so that they could get to know Xu Ma.
When she went to bed at night, Madam Xu personally served Ren Yaoqi to wash up.
Ren Yaoqi observed quietly and secretly, and had to admit that Mammy Zhou's eyes were indeed good. This Mammy Xu was just right in both her words and deeds, and no one could pick out a single fault.
"Who else is there in Mammy Xu's family?" Ren Yaoqi asked casually with his eyes closed when Mama Xu bent over to cover Ren Yaoqi with a blanket.
Mammy Xu was respectful and gentle and said: "The slave-maid is no longer in the family. There is only one kid in the family. He is fourteen years old this year. Now he is learning his skills with the second shopkeeper of the coal store opened by the Ren family in Yunyang City."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but open his eyes: "You only have one son?"
Madam Xu nodded: "This slave has only one son."
Ren Yaoqi did not speak again.
Mammy Xu waited for a long time by the bedside. Seeing that Ren Yaoqi was no longer speaking, she thought she was asleep, so she helped her put down the tent, picked up the candlestick on the small table, and exited gently.
The room was darkened inch by inch, and Ren Yaoqi slowly closed his eyes.
