Ren Yaoqi heard Ren Yaoting's words on the carriage, and thought that Ren Yaoting should tell her about the salt field.
Li also wanted Ren Yaoqi to be close to the sisters of the Ren family, so he said to Ren Yaoqi, "Go and take a car with your seventh sister."
Ren Yaoqi responded smoothly and got off the carriage.
Ren Yaoting had been waiting outside for a long time, seeing Ren Yaoqi getting out of the car and hurriedly coming over, holding Ren Yaoqi's hand, and smiling very close: "Fifth sister, it's very boring to ride on the carriage on the way, fortunately I met him. You, our sisters, sit down and have a good talk."
Originally, for the convenience of traveling in Yunyang City, Ren Yaoting had a carriage alone, but she liked to sit with the Su family, so her own carriage was empty. Ren Yaoqi followed Ren Yaoting into her carriage.
As soon as Ren Yaoting got in the car, she sent all the maids to sit outside, leaving only herself and Ren Yaoqi in the car.
"Seventh sister, I heard the maids and wives discuss in private that the wedding ceremony of the Su family was very lively." Ren Yaoqi said with a smile.
Ren Yaoting smiled arrogantly when he heard the words: "My eldest cousin is the eldest grandson of the Su family, and his wedding is naturally more lively than ordinary people's. But..."
Ren Yaoqi asked curiously, "But what?"
Ren Yaoting glanced at Ren Yaoqi. Originally, she would not have said this to Ren Yaoqi, but now she looks at Ren Yaoqi and feels that she is much more pleasing to the eye, so she whispered: "But my cousin's dowry is quite shabby, Although there are thirty-two, but I heard from the maid next to my mother that only the upper layer of the dowry box is worth a little something, and the bottom is full of sloppy stuff. The clothes are still in the fashionable pattern of last year in Beijing. Therefore, my second aunt, third aunt, and their servants in the yard often talk sarcastically." Ren Yaoting curled his lips.
The eldest master of the Su family, Su Keqin, and Ren Yaoting's mother, Su Yi, are from the original wife of the old man, while the second master, Su Kejian, and the third master, Su Keji, are from the successor.
Ren Yaoqi knew that in the last life, when the Zeng family married into the Su family, he had caused a lot of criticism. At this time, Zeng Lin was only a 6th-grade Zhongxian Colonel with a vacant post. His niece had no father or mother, and was raised in his mansion since childhood.
Everyone guessed that the successor of the grandfather Su had calculated the marriage of the original wife's grandson, and the eldest young master of the Su family found such a relationship only because of a trick.
When Zeng Lu rose up in Yanbei, everyone knew that it was Mr. Su who had a unique vision.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help sneering, what kind of discerning eye. The Su family should have had a secret relationship with the Zeng family long ago.
Whether this Zeng family really has no family background or not, her dowry is just a blindfold, which makes people relax their vigilance against the Zeng family.
"...But my cousin-in-law is an excellent person. She looks beautiful and is knowledgeable." Saying that, Ren Yaoting ripped off a small purse from his waist and handed it to Ren Yaoqi: "This is what she gave to her. I heard that the pattern above was embroidered by her. How about the embroiderer?"
Ren Yaoqi took a look at it. The pink purse was embroidered with two girls kicking shuttlecock. The picture was vivid and vivid.
Ren Yaoqi returned the purse and nodded with a smile: "Well, the embroiderer is very good."
Ren Yaoting pursed her lips and smiled, it seemed that she liked this purse very much, and she was also very satisfied with her cousin.
In fact, according to Ren Yaoting's arrogant temperament, she should look down on the Zeng family with a meager dowry. But after only a few days of getting along, she fell in love with Zeng, which shows that this Zeng is not a simple woman.
"Okay, you have to listen to my eldest cousin. I'll talk to you later. I called you here to tell you what we said last time." Ren Yaoting lowered his voice.
Ren Yaoqi pretended to be puzzled: "What is the seventh sister talking about?"
"The salt field of the Han family..." Ren Yaoting reminded in a low voice.
"Oh, so that's what happened. Seventh sister, did you really mention it to the elders?" Ren Yaoqi's eyes widened.
Ren Yaoting covered his mouth and smiled: "You still think it's fun when I say it?"
"What was the result?" Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile.
Ren Yaoting sat closer to Ren Yaoqi: "I originally wanted to mention it to my mother, but I was afraid that my mother would see something out. Just because my eldest cousin got married, my mother wanted to take me to Yunyang City. , I thought that it would be better to just tell the people of my grandfather's family directly. So I found an opportunity to stop my eldest cousin and let him go and tell my uncle. I didn't want to be bumped into by my aunt. My aunt asked I had a lot of words, and I asked where I heard them. I said some of them were my own thoughts, and some of them were overheard by a few stewards when I went to the West Mansion. I don’t want my aunt to tell this It went straight to my grandfather and uncle."
Having said that, Ren Yaoting stopped here, looked at Ren Yaoqi and said with a smile: "Guess what the result is?"
"Your grandfather and uncle think this is feasible?" Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile.
Ren Yaoting shook his head with a dignified look: "Why is this matter so simple? But my grandfather has asked my uncle to take someone to Xining, saying that we need to explore the facts before making plans."
Business people naturally don't believe in groundless truths. When the Ren family decided to cooperate with the Han family, they also sent people to Xining to investigate on the spot, so Ren Yaoqi was not surprised. Since the Su family is willing to send someone to investigate the news, it means that the Su family is interested in this matter.
Ren Yaoqi thought that the salt field in the mouth of the Han family was just an empty shelf used to attract the Ren family to take the bait, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to get a good salt well with the current strength of the Han family.
But then she thought again that if the Ren family's prudence was really groundless, Mrs. Ren wouldn't be able to find out.
Now that she knew that the Han family was implicated in the Yanbei palace, the matter of the salt well should be true. I just don't know what is the connection between the salt well in the hands of the Han family and the use of the Han family in the Yanbei palace.
If you can use the Su family to test, it may not be a good way.
"What are you thinking? Did you listen to me?" Ren Yaoting said angrily when he saw that Ren Yaoqi seemed to be thinking about something.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yaoting and smiled slightly: "Well, I'm listening, just thinking that it should take some time to get from Yunyang City to Xining to inquire about news."
Ren Yaoting turned his anger into joy: "Of course. But my grandparents' family has always been guarded in Xining, so it should be a lot more convenient."
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "That would be much more convenient.
The two were talking along the way. Ren Yaoqi found that Ren Yaoting talked a lot today, presumably because he felt that he was one step closer to his goal and was happy. You must know that Ren Yaoting usually only talks to the talents he likes. Many, she has always been ignorant of the previous her.
Ren Yaoqi just listened most of the time along the way, nodding or humming occasionally.
When someone was talking, time passed faster, and soon the Ren family's carriage entered Baihe Town.
The carriages in the East House and the carriages in the West House have different doors, so the carriage stopped when it reached the intersection. The woman sent by Li's side said through the curtain of the car, "Miss Fifth, you are at the gate of the mansion, and the wife asks you to come down."
Ren Yaoqi knew everything he wanted to know from Ren Yaoting, so he said goodbye.
Ren Yaoting blinked and said, "I'll tell you when there is news over there." Naturally, the joy of success must be shared with someone, and Ren Yaoting felt that it was the most suitable thing for Ren Yaoqi to talk about so far.
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "Okay, then I'll first wish Seventh Sister's wishes come true."
Ren Yaoting's face blushed, thinking that Ren Yaoqi might just say something casually, and the meaning of what she said was not what she thought, so she calmed down her heartbeat. At this time, Ren Yaoqi had already got out of the car.
Over there, a big maid who was serving by Ren Yaoting was called over by the maid next to the Su family.
In front of the Su family, the maid asked Ren Yaoting's maid, "What did the young lady say to the fifth young lady of the West House?",
The maid thought for a while, and said truthfully: "It was about the marriage of the young master Su and the young grandmother of the Su family. Later, the young lady lowered her voice, and the slaves couldn't hear it clearly."
Mammy asked a few more questions, and then sent the maid off.
"Madam, do you think the things that Miss said to Uncle and Master that day are related to Fifth Miss of the West House?" Mammy asked softly.
Su shi, who was sitting with her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes: "I just don't believe that Ting'er can think of that. As for who told her... I don't know."
Su Shi's eyes were as calm as an ancient well: "Ren Yaoqi from the third room... If she had such a brain, she would not have been tricked by an aunt before. It is very possible that she knows."
"Then do you think it's the Aunt Fang who stretched out her hand too long?" Seeing that the Su family didn't believe it was Ren Yaoqi, the mother asked again.
This time, the Su shi was silent for a long time, and she said in a low voice: "It's not impossible. If she really told Ting'er about this through Ren Yaoqi's mouth, then her purpose should be to prevent Ren Yaohua from marrying. Enter the Han family."
Hearing this, Mammy curled her lips disdainfully: "It's just a concubine, what good will it do to her?"
Su Shi smiled slightly: "Although she is a concubine, her methods are amazing. Haven't you seen that even my sister-in-law never provokes her? Bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes. If she dares, others may not. As for the benefits... Li If Shi's daughter has a powerful husband's family, then she will have no chance to take over the rights of the three-bedroom house from Li Shi's hands. According to my uncle's temperament, as long as the Ren family has a marriage contract with the Han family, he It will save a bit of face for Mrs. Lee."
