Chapter 140: The New Appointment

It is said that the emperor of Xifeng Kingdom gave an official to Ren Guiping, and there is also a good mansion. The two elders of the Ren family www.biquge.info never thought of living in it, but since the wedding day, the people in the neighborhood and even the entire street and alley have always taken pictures with it, and people have a humble attitude. Ren Guiping didn't like this, and after discussing with his wife, he decided to move into the new mansion, and many matters were also handed over to the housekeeper for him to do. There are always people who tend to be inflammatory, and naturally not only those ordinary people are ordinary people; those who want to be promoted for officials or buy officials for wealth and nobility have all come to the door. Fortunately, Ren's house has become Ren's mansion, so that those who are rich and noble will not lower their status, but it seems to be 'the right person'.

Over the past few days, Ren Fu has not known how many people have visited, and there are countless gifts received, and every time Ren negotiates is good words, he is unwilling to accept it, but others only say that it is a congratulatory gift, and he insists that your house accept it. Master Ren has never entered the officialdom, he doesn't know the sinister, and because he has just arrived, it is always difficult to refuse, so he accepted it. As a result, with false rumors, everyone followed suit, coming and going, and there was a lot of traffic in front of the mansion every day, and the gifts received were countless.

A frequent visitor to Ren's house is also Lord Lu. Since Lu Shui had been to Renfu once and saw that kind of scene, he walked there when he had nothing to do. After going to the harem early today and seeing his sister, he left the palace and went straight to Ren's house.

When I arrived at Renfu, there were many fewer carriages and horses in front of the door than a few days ago. Lu Shui's sedan chair came, and the concierge of Ren's house saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: Lord Lu is here, please come in!

Lu Shui nodded and asked, "Is the master at home?"

The porter smiled: Yes, the master didn't go out, and he was meeting guests in the front hall.

Lu Shui walked up the stairs and walked inside through the barrier mahogany. The porter followed, and was afraid that someone at the gate would visit, so he turned around and saw a boy sitting on a stone, so he rushed over and slapped it violently, and scolded: You boy is lazy again. Lord Lu is here, go to the front hall to report!

The kid turned his head and muttered a few words, not daring to slack off on his feet, and ran along the road to the front hall. The kid walked quickly, took the first step to the front hall, and shouted loudly: Master, Lord Lu is here!

Master Ren was talking to the visitor, and the boy's words were like a thunderbolt, and the two looked at each other. Master Ren waved his hand and said, "I know, go down."

Then he turned to the guest and said with a smile: It's all something that doesn't understand etiquette, please don't see outside.

The guest also smiled back and said, "What did Master Ren say?" This is good, and he has spirit! Unlike the lazy people in my house, who are groggy all day long, and his anger is like a gossamer, which is not good, not good. By the way, that Lord Lu is Lu Shilang's son?

Master Ren replied: Yes.

The guest sighed: I think that Lord Lu is terrible, young and frivolous, talented, favored by the emperor, and will do a lot in the future. When I think about it, my family is far from it.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Lu Shui came towards him. Lu Shui stepped forward and greeted him: Hello Uncle Ren.

Master Ren smiled and said, "Sit down."

After Lu Shui took a seat, the guest smiled and said: Lord Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time.

When Lu Shui entered the hall, he saw the adult, and the two of them nodded their heads to say hello. Lu Shui listened to the words and smiled slightly: Why does Master Li have time to come to Renfu today?

Master Li replied: I have nothing to do recently, so I am looking for an opportunity to visit around, and I should visit in person when I take office, so I came here when I was free today. I don't know why Lord Lu is?

Lu Shuidao: Uncle Ren and I are old friends, so I'll stop by to see it in the next dynasty.

Li Dadao: I see. Since Lord Lu is here, I can't bother anymore, so I'll leave first.

After saying that, he got up. After hearing this, Master Ren hurriedly got up and said, "It's okay, Master Li will have a cup of tea and then leave."

Master Li arched his hand and smiled: "It's a long time to come, and I will come to your mansion to drink tea when I have time." After speaking, he turned and walked out. When Master Ren saw this, he said: Master Li go slowly.

After Master Li left, Lu Shui asked: He is also here to give gifts?

Master Ren re-seated, nodded and said: He has an only son, it's time to find fame, and he wants me to help him think of ideas.

Lu Shuidao: I've heard something about his only son, who likes the wind and snow and the snow moon and rouge gouache on weekdays, and he can't make progress in the meantime all day long. No wonder his father was nervous.

Master Ren said: If this is the case, I can't help him, everything is mainly on his own, if he doesn't even want to forge ahead, what is the use of more opportunities.

Lu Shui nodded and said, "Uncle Ren is right. It's just that this gift is too much, it's not good after all.

Hearing this, Master Ren understood in his heart, and said with a smile: At that time, I was forced to accept those gifts out of helplessness, and it would be too ridiculous for me to accept gifts by virtue of the identity of the national ruler, or to rely on power to do something that was spurned by others. After the gifts are registered and prepared by the housekeeper, they will be sent back one by one in the next few days.

Lu Shui nodded. Suddenly remembered something, and asked: I wonder how my aunt is doing?

Master Ren replied: She is very good.

Lu Shuidao: Then I'll go see my aunt.

Master Ren said: Let's go together.

The two walked out of the front hall, walked through the corner corridor, passed through the corner gate, and arrived at the courtyard where Mrs. Ren temporarily lived. Walking into the courtyard, a girl saw someone coming, first stepped forward to say hello, and then went to the room to call Mrs. When Mrs. Ren heard that the old man Lu Shui was coming, she hurriedly dressed and came out.

When Lu Shui saw Mrs. Ren coming out of the house, he stepped forward to say hello first: Hello Aunt Ren.

Mrs. Ren smiled happily and said, "Lu Shui is here, sit down."

After speaking, he led the two to the pavilion in the courtyard. To the pavilion, the three of them sat on the stone bench in turn, the girls in the distance carried tea and snacks in front and back, strolled into the pavilion, put the plates and bowls in their hands on the stone table, and the other girls retreated, leaving only one person to serve.

That girl is Mrs. Ren's personal maid, and she is older. She placed the cups in front of the three of them one by one, poured the tea, and stepped aside. Looking at Mrs. Ren again, her face was full of spring breeze, she looked at Lu Shui, and asked with a smile: How are you doing lately?

Lu Shui replied: Aunt Xie cares, I'm fine.

Mrs. Ren nodded and asked, "Is Qingqing okay?"

After listening to the questioning, Master Ren was excited and stared at the landing water. Lu Shui saw the second elder looking at him, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. After thinking about it, he replied: As far as I know, the emperor will go to Luanjiao Hall every day to accompany the queen's mother, and from the legends of the palace people, I think she should live well.

When they heard this, they instantly rejoiced. Mrs. Ren smiled: That's good, I'm just afraid that Qingqing doesn't understand etiquette and will be at a loss. If it's exactly what you say, that's fine.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and asked: Listen to you, you haven't seen Qingqing yet?

Lu Shui replied: The queen lives in the deep palace, and it is not for others to enter and exit at will. Without the emperor's approval, if the mother gives permission, even if it is me, there is no way to enter. (To be continued.) )
