Chapter 24: Meeting
Li was even more surprised when he heard this.
Ren Yaoqi Ren Yaoqi is different from Ren Yaohua, she has not been favored by the old lady since she was a child, so she doesn't like to go to Ronghua Courtyard the most.
On weekdays, except for morning and dusk, she can't go.
Ren Yao knew what Li was thinking: "I was just about to go to find the fourth sister, so I just went to take a look by the way, mother don't worry." โ
Seeing that she insisted, Li Shi didn't say anything more, but said to Ren Yaohua: "Hua'er will also go over and have a look?" โ
If it was before, the Li family would never say such a thing, but recently the relationship between Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua's sisters has eased, which is obvious to all by the Li family and several people close to him.
"No need, I'll go back as soon as I go, and the third sister will stay and talk to you." Ren Yaoqi said as he went out.
She had something on her mind, and she only cared about taking the maids along the way. Circumventing the Nine Curved Corridor, I was about to turn around the garden when I heard the voices of several men in the garden drifting in the wind. At the same time, she heard the "creaking" of several pairs of boots stepping on the snow getting closer.
"Didn't the third uncle bring us to the garden and say that he would personally pick the snow from the plum tree and make tea? There were a few plum trees planted in the house, but none of them opened...... Ahem......" a teenager's voice grumbled dissatisfied.
"Misstep! Blunder! But Yijun, it's not that the third uncle said you, you should also come out more, you will always be bored in the room and not sick. Ren Shimin said leisurely.
"Third Master, didn't you see Third Young Master coughing again just now? Oh no, it's bad, it must have come out to blow the wind and catch a cold, and when I go back later, the eldest lady will definitely peel off my skin! Master, since there are no plum blossoms, let's go back, right? You have to watch your body! A crying voice said urgently.
"Long-winded! Where is the young master going, and it's your turn to take care of the east and west? Give me...... Ahem, cough ......" The teenager had a seizure of dissatisfaction, but was interrupted by the sound of coughing.
"Young Master......"
When Ren Yaochi heard this, she understood that it was her father and her third cousin in the garden at this time.
The third cousin, Ren Yijun, is the second son of the eldest master, and he has a deficiency from his mother's womb, and some scholars once asserted that he would not live to be ten years old. Over the years, the eldest lady has been looking for the secret recipe for replenishing his body, stewing soup for him every day, and only eating medicinal food for three meals a day, so it can be said that her cousin was soaked in a medicine jar.
Now Ren Yijun is sixteen years old, and although he has been suffering from minor illnesses, he is still alive and well.
Thinking that it was his father who abducted this cousin who rarely went out, and let him blow a cold wind in the snow, Ren Yaochi couldn't help but have a headache. If Ren Yijun really got something hot because of this, the eldest lady would definitely settle this account on his head again.
Ren Yijun was always detained in his yard and rarely went out because of his poor health, and the family from the old lady to the brothers and sisters all let him, so that he developed a somewhat eccentric and withdrawn temperament. The relationship between him and his brothers of the same generation, including his brother-in-law, is light, but he is very close to Ren Shimin, the third uncle.
Ren Yaoqi remembered that he didn't like this yin and yang weirdness in his previous life, and he never had a smile on his face.
It wasn't until later that after his father's death, the Ren family did not dare to bring his body back.
Under the scorching sun in June, she knelt in the courtyard of Ronghua Courtyard and cried and begged Old Man Ren and Old Lady Ren to collect her father's body.
At that time, Ren Yijun walked over with a gloomy face on crutches, pulled her up and left.
She was groggy and stumbled by him to the Ren family's "Three Provinces Hall", which is the place where the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors are enshrined, and it is the ancestral hall of the Ren family.
"What's the use of you crying? Their hearts are cold, and their blood is cold. You should ...... like this," said Ren Yijun, raising the crutches in his hand and sweeping down the dozen or so tablets on the table.
She was so frightened that she was stupid, and watched him throw the cane in his hand, and trample on the tablet on the ground like crazy, while scolding: "Eating our offerings but allowing our children and grandchildren to suffer, even if those filthy people of the Ren family trample on us, such incense will be broken!" โ
She was infected by his crazy and wanton appearance, thinking about the cause of her father's death, hatred rose in her heart, she got up and picked up the tablets on the ground and smashed them one by one against the wall.
When the rest of the Ren family heard the news, all that was left on the ground was broken pieces of wood. The ancestral tablet was smashed to nothing by them.
The old man Ren was so angry that he almost fainted, and the eldest man stepped forward and gave Ren Yijun a slap to the ground and knocked him to the ground, and the eldest lady was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
He sneered and looked around at everyone: "I smashed it all!" Family law and everything are coming at me! Anyway, the lives of the Ren family are not worth anything! โ
That was the first time she realized that this third brother, who had been treated like a porcelain doll since he was a child, was actually not as weak and vulnerable as they imagined.
Ren Yaochi turned around and walked back, just as he was thinking about persuading his father and Ren Yijun to go back, when he heard the voice of a strange young man.
"It is also very good to make tea with spring water without the rootless water on the plum blossoms, and I happen to have a jar of newly shipped Huiquan spring water there, so it is better for me to let someone go back and get it now."
Ren Yao's footsteps paused,
She looked into the garden through the branches and leaves of the sea trees in front of her, and walked side by side with Ren Shimin and Ren Yijun a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was not very close, and there were trees to obscure her, so she couldn't see the young man's face clearly. I only know that he has a long body, and his posture is like a jade tree in the wind, different from Ren Shimin's free and easy robe with wide sleeves, he has an extremely rare introverted and calm young man.
Ren Yaoqi probably guessed his identity.
At this time, there were footsteps behind her, and when she turned around, Ren Yaoqi saw Ren Yaohua walking along the corridor, and saw that she was standing at the entrance of the garden and couldn't enter, so she couldn't help frowning.
Over there, Ren Shimin was proposing to go to the warm pavilion in the garden to drink tea and play chess, and Ren Yaoqi turned around and walked back.
"What are you doing standing there?" Ren Yaohua glanced into the garden, and obviously she also faintly heard someone in the garden.
Ren Yaochi smiled at her: "It's nothing, I just heard the voices of my father and third brother." I wanted to go over to say hello, but I found that there were others with them. I still can't go. โ
Ren Yaohua stopped asking questions and took the lead to go to Ronghua Courtyard. Ren Yaohua glanced in the direction of the garden again before following behind Ren Yaohua.
In the Ronghua Courtyard, the main room of Mrs. Ren is lively. When Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi entered, they saw that in addition to Mrs. Ren, Ren Yaoyin and Ren Yaoyu, there was also a woman in her thirties and a woman in her eleven or twelve.
The woman was handsome, but her face was unhealthy and sallow, and her body seemed to be sick.
The woman who sat against her looked similar to her, except that her eyes were not as large as the woman's, but had a single oblique eyelid. She has an excellent complexion, fair and clear, and her lips are not slight.
It is said that one white covers three ugliness, but she is not ugly herself, so she looks very smart.
"Why are you here?" Old Lady Ren was a little surprised when she saw Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi walking in.
"I'm here to find my fourth sister." Ren Yaohua smiled and walked over to salute Mrs. Ren.
When Mrs. Ren heard this, she didn't ask anymore, and as for what Ren Yaoqi came for, she didn't care.
"These are the two daughters of the third family," Mrs. Ren said to Mrs. Han, and then instructed the two sisters: "Mrs. Han and Miss Han." You haven't seen it before, so let's go and see you. โ
Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi stepped forward to greet the Han family's mother and daughter.
"I heard Aunt Xiao mention that the young ladies of the Ren family really stood out. When I saw it today, it was right. Mrs. Han smiled and pulled Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi up one by one, and looked at her.
Aunt Xiao, a well-connected person who can come to things, has always only said good things to others, and will not say bad things to others.
Mrs. Ren smiled: "It's still the girl of the Han family who looks like everyone's ladies." โ
