Ren Yao went over to find Xiao Jinglin and the stupid girl.

Although the silly girl loves to play and make trouble, and likes to be cute from time to time, it doesn't like strangers to approach, except for a few masters who are responsible for taking care of it on weekdays.

Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin played with the silly girl for a while, and when it was almost dark, they asked people to send these young ladies back to their yard. And then have the silly chick sent back. The silly girl is full of energy, having fun, and is very unwilling to be emotionally unwilling when she is sent away.

Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi planned to return to the Moon Pavilion.

"What did Yan Ningshuang say to you before?" Although Xiao Jinglin has been playing with silly girls before, she has always seen six ways and listened to all directions, so she saw Yan Ningshuang looking for Xiao Jingxi in her eyes.

Ren Yaochi shook his head: "I said that there is something important to say." ”

Xiao Jinglin frowned, and was about to say something, but there was a scream in the distance, followed by a tiger roar.

Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi glanced at each other.

"Oh no, it's a stupid girl! Check it out! Xiao Jinglin said as she ran towards the place where there had just been movement, and Ren Yaoqi hurriedly followed.

The stupid girl was sent away before, and she hadn't gone too far, Xiao Jinglin ran faster than Ren Yaoqi, and when Ren Yaoqi arrived panting, she just heard Xiao Jinglin shouting: "Silly girl, come here!" ”

Ren Yaoqi looked at it in the past, but found that the picture was really familiar.

The stupid girl threw a person to the ground in a hunting posture, and with Xiao Jinglin's order, the stupid girl reluctantly removed her paws, walked slowly to Xiao Jinglin's side, and rubbed her legs.

And it was Yan Ningshuang who was pounced on by the stupid girl before.

It's not the first time that Yan Ningshuang has been attacked by a stupid girl, although this time she is still very embarrassed, but she is still much more decent than yesterday, at least she can get up on her own.

Xiao Jinglin looked at Yan Ningshuang condescendingly, and said coldly: "Miss Yan, may I ask what you wanted to do to my pet just now?" ”

"Beloved pet" licked his paws: "Whew-"

Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but secretly kick a pet.

Yan Ningshuang looked at the silly girl, then at Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi, and bit her lip: "I just want to feed it, and I have no malice." ”

Sure enough, there was a food box on the ground that had fallen to the ground, and inside was some pickled raw meat. Ren Yaoqi remembered that Yan Ningshuang was carrying this food box in her hand when she came in before, it turned out that she had planned to come to be a stupid girl before?

Xiao Jinglin frowned and glanced at the food box that was turned over on the ground, and then said unceremoniously: "Miss Yan, my pet won't eat strangers' things." You're not familiar with it to the point where you can feed it. Also, thank you for ignoring it, but for your sake I think it's better for you to stay away from my pet in the future, and you see that it doesn't seem to like you. ”

Yan Ningshuang looked at the stupid girl's gaze with some incomprehensible stubbornness: "I've read books on domesticating beasts, it's not that it hates me, it's just that it's not familiar with my smell." Just ......"

Xiao Jinglin interrupted impatiently: "Miss Yan, I don't think you understood what I meant. I know you're well-read, but I don't want you to get close to 'my' pet, and you can try the trick you learned from books to domesticate beasts with your own pet. Xiao Jinglin bit the word "my" very hard.

Yan Ningshuang heard the rejection in Xiao Jinglin's tone, and couldn't help but say: "County Lord, I have no ill will towards it, I just like it very much and want to be close to it." And...... Isn't this white tiger owned by Xiao Gongzi? ”

Xiao Jinglin showed a sudden realization expression when she heard this, she pursed her lips and said expressionlessly: "You like it is your business, it can not like you." And...... I think you may be mistaken about one thing, this white tiger is not my brother's, it belongs to me and Yaoqi, my brother will just come over and let people help it bathe when he has time. ”

Yan Ningshuang didn't believe it, she heard that this white tiger was specially retrieved from Dali by Xiao Jingxi, there was originally a pair, but one died halfway. Xiao Jingxi liked this white tiger very much, and even took care of and fed it himself.

This was heard by Yan Ningshuang after she was attacked by a stupid girl last night, so for the white tiger belonging to Xiao Jingxi, she listened to Ren Yaoqi's words, and even attacked her, which made Yan Ningshuang very unbearable. Yan Ningshuang thought that she had worked on a book on domesticating wild beasts, so she had the idea of having a good relationship with Xiao Jingxi's pet, and the feed she prepared for the white tiger was also carefully blended, but I don't know why the white tiger refused to eat her things, and attacked her again when she was just approaching.

Yan Ningshuang doesn't understand, the silly girl has been raised by Xiao Jingxi since she was a child, it is different from ordinary beasts, the book Yan Ningshuang has read is a bit general after all. And the silly girl is carefully bred every day, her taste is very tricky, and she has never been short of food, so the meat that Yan Ningshuang brought is not too attractive to it, but it is the breath on Yan Ningshuang that makes it recognize.

Miss Yan is usually a person with a normal IQ, but when she encounters Xiao Jingxi's affairs, she will become a little paranoid.

Ren Yaoqi looked at Yan Ningshuang and felt that this Miss Yan's idea was really a little unbelievable, she was attacked by a stupid girl only last night, she was obviously so frightened that her legs were weak, and in a blink of an eye, she fed the stupid girl like she had nothing to do......

Other stupid girls have better memories than her.

The stupid girl was taken down again, Xiao Jinglin ordered the person who took care of the stupid girl in front of Yan Ningshuang: "In the future, you should be smart, don't let people get close to the stupid girl, and don't let it eat what others feed, otherwise it hurts people, will you fight for it?" ”

The silly girl's attendants were very depressed, where could they have expected that Miss Yan would play this game? They were all stunned when they saw her suddenly running up to feed her.

Then Xiao Jinglin ordered someone to send Yan Ningshuang out of the garden, and Yan Ningshuang glanced at Ren Yaoqi meaningfully before leaving.

Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi went back to Lanyue Pavilion, what they didn't know was that Yan Ningshuang didn't stay in her courtyard obediently after being sent back, she came out after dinner, and then secretly found the head of the guards in the inner courtyard and said that she wanted to see Tongxi beside Xiao Jingxi.

Xiao Ergongzi is not someone who can see him if he wants to, and the entourage around him is naturally not easy to see, but Miss Yan said that Xiao Ergongzi ordered her to come to Tongxi. The guard really helped Yan Ningshuang to ask Tongxi in line with the principle of being serious and responsible, after all, Miss Yan was a distinguished guest, and he was afraid that something would really be wrong.

Xiao Jingxi only ordered such a sentence in the afternoon, even if it was just a perfunctory word, Tongxi couldn't be taken seriously, so he really came out to see Yan Ningshuang.

So Miss Yan finally brought her words to Xiao Jingxi.

Xiao Jingxi finally looked up at Tongxi from the official document: "She said that she has a secret letter from the imperial court to Yelu Moqi in her hand?" ”

Tongxi bowed his head and responded: "Yes, Childe, she said that she wrote it down after seeing it from her grandfather's study before she came." ”

Xiao Jingxi put the force in his hand on the pen stand, supported his chin and asked with a smile: "So she wants to make a deal with me?" ”

Tongxi still lowered his head: "Yes, Childe, Miss Yan seems to mean that." ”

"What does she want?" Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows.

Tongxi paused: "Miss Yan wants to stay in Yanbei, and the people from the imperial court will leave for Beijing in a few days, and Miss Yan wants you to find an excuse for her to stay." ”

Xiao Jingxi didn't speak after listening, as if he was thinking about something.

Tongxi couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jingxi, but he couldn't see anything from Xiao Jingxi's face.

In the middle of the ring, Xiao Jingxi asked, "What excuse does Miss Yan want me to use to keep her?" ”

Tongxi thought to himself, what other reason can there be? Isn't this woman jumping like this because she wants to stay as your woman?

However, Tongxi said respectfully: "Miss Yan said that she admires her son very much and wants to stay in Yanbei Wang's Mansion." She also said that she wants you to meet her in person, and there are some things that need to be explained in person. ”

Xiao Jingxi didn't seem surprised by Tongxi's answer, but he didn't reply to Tongxi, but just waved his hand to let Tongxi step down.

Tongxi couldn't help but ask, "How did the subordinates reply to Miss Yan?" ”

Xiao Jingxi glanced at Tongxi and said, "If anyone has something in their hands and asks to enter the palace, will the court raise so many people for my father's money?" ”

What the? Did the court give the prince a fortune? This was the first thing Tongxi thought of, but after Xiao Jingxi's playful gaze, Tongxi understood that this was his master's joke, making fun of him.

So Tongxi happily rejected Yan Ningshuang.

If such a woman who can jump really enters the backyard of Yanbei Palace, Miss Ren will have a headache in the future. Therefore, selfishly, I am not happy to see this Miss Yan enter the Yanbei Palace. Tongxi is also a little puzzled about this Miss Yan's thoughts, a dignified young lady from a family who has no home to go back, what do you want to do in Yanbei Wangfu without a name? And he wants to betray his family for this, which is incredible.

Yan Ningshuang was very disappointed after being rejected, but she couldn't even see Xiao Jingxi's face, so she could only be anxious.

After Tongxi left, Xiao Jingxi turned his pen and thought for a while, and then instructed Tonghe to call Tongde over and instructed him: "Keep an eye on Yan Ningshuang carefully, and find someone to search to see if she has any letterhead on her." After a pause, he added, "Also, don't let her get close to Miss Ren in the future." ”

Tongde immediately took the order, and came back in the evening to reply: "Miss Yan has no suspicious letterhead there, but there is a bottle of medicine, which seems to be highly poisonous, and the subordinates are afraid of chaos and take it upon themselves to replace the bottle." ”

Xiao Jingxi nodded to indicate that he knew the truth, and sent Tongde out of the country without saying anything more.

Xiao Jingxi originally didn't want to pay attention to Yan Ningshuang, but Yan Ningshuang refused to let go of Xiao Ergongzi.

On the second day, when Xiao Jingxi went out, Yan Ningshuang was waiting for him on the road he had to pass, if Xiao Jingxi didn't want to see anyone, even if that person came to him, he wouldn't see him. Yan Ningshuang seemed to know Xiao Jingxi's habits very well, so she just followed Xiao Jingxi from a distance and kept a distance, but she couldn't shake off like a little tail.

Under the blue sky and white sun, the supernatural powers are as vast as Xiao Ergongzi, who are all a little temperless by Yan Ningshuang. After thinking about it, he still asked Yan Ningshuang to come to him.

"Miss Yan, what do you mean by this?"

Yan Ningshuang's gaze never moved away from Xiao Jingxi's face, she pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "Xiao Gongzi, I really have that secret letter, I wrote it down, and I also know that this is exactly what you want, if you agree to let me stay, I am willing to write it down now." After a pause, she looked up at Xiao Jing again and begged, "Xiao Lang, I have had the ability to never forget since I was a child, and the Queen Mother is very fond of me, I ...... I'm willing to do anything for you. ”

Xiao Jingxi didn't move his brows when he heard this, and said bluntly: "It's useless for me for you to stay in Yanbei. ”

Yan Ningshuang was anxious when she heard this: "Then I am willing to go back to the capital first to do things for you, and wait...... You'll let me come back when the time is right. ”

Tongxi and Tonghe, who were following Xiao Jingxi, silently exchanged a look, their expressions were a little strange, they had never seen such an unrestrained young lady of the family. Even in Yanbei, where the folk customs are relatively open, it is estimated that no girl from any family will say these words to the face of a man. The two young attendants couldn't help but blush for Miss Yan.

Xiao Jingxi was also a little surprised, but he quickly refused: "Miss Yan, I don't need you to do anything." He understood what Yan Ningshuang meant, and there were many people around him who were used by him like this. But he was reluctant to use the cream. Disdain is one thing, and it's because women who are easy to be emotional are prone to misinformation.

"I have good intentions, but I don't need it, Miss Yan, please go back." Xiao Jingxi said coldly.

Yan Ningshuang had a little sadness on her face: "Xiao Lang, I just want a chance to stay by your side, why don't you even want to give me this opportunity." ”

Xiao Jingxi didn't answer Yan Ningshuang's inexplicable words, but just bowed his head politely and coldly: "Please Miss Yan don't follow anymore, my subordinates are all rough people, I'm afraid they will be injured by mistake." After saying this, Xiao Jingxi turned around and left.

Yan Ningshuang looked at Xiao Jingxi's back in a daze, and when she was completely out of sight, she finally squatted down and covered her face and cried.

Yan Ningshuang has been in the magic barrier since the first time she saw Xiao Jingxi, and since then she can no longer hold anyone in her heart. Although the fifth brother can count the number of times he has seen Xiao Jingxi over the years, the desire to stay by Xiao Jingxi's side is getting bigger and bigger. Except for Xiao Gongzi, Miss Yan can't accept any man to be her husband, in Yan Ningshuang's eyes, the men in this world have become filthy things in front of Xiao Jingxi.

Yan Ningshuang was stalking Xiao Jingxi here, but the golden banquet was still going on over there.

Today is the last day of the Golden Banquet, and after these ladies have finished the competition, they will return to Yunyang City.

may be because the result is already obvious, these young ladies from the Yanbei family who came to participate in the golden banquet were a little less excited, so the golden banquet came to an end in the afternoon of this day.

Of the ten leaders selected, the ten ladies sent by the Queen Mother accounted for seven places, and Yan Ningshuang got the position of the leader.

On the surface, it seems that the ladies from the capital have won a big victory, but none of these ladies are happy. They have not forgotten the purpose of the Queen Mother who sent them over, but none of them could defeat Ren Yaoqi, not to mention, and they were all defeated in her hands. The Queen Mother's face was all lost by them, and they couldn't imagine what kind of thunderous anger they would face after returning to Beijing. So after Mrs. Xu announced the rankings, several of these ladies had already cried in a low voice.

Especially Yan Ningshuang, who was expected by the Queen Mother, her loss to Ren Yaochi was equivalent to letting the Queen Mother lose to Concubine Wan, when she heard that she had become the leader of this golden banquet, Yan Ningshuang felt that this was a sarcasm for herself and the Queen Mother.

On the contrary, the ladies of Yanbei, who only won the position of three leaders, smiled one by one, such a scene looked very weird and ridiculous.

Next, the princess ordered someone to arrange for these ladies to leave the hot spring villa and return to Yunyang City.

When Ren Yaochi followed the frame of Yanbei Wangfu to Yunyang City, it was almost time for dinner, Ren Yaoqi refused Xiao Jinglin's invitation and did not go to Yanbei Wangfu, but went back to his home.

When Ren Yaoqi went to Li's house, Li and Mama Zhou were talking and laughing while making small clothes on the Nankang. Ren Yaochi couldn't help but smile and said, "What are mother and Mama Zhou talking about, so happy?" ”

Li and Mama Zhou were very happy to see her come back, and Mama Zhou smiled and quipped: "Our young lady is in the limelight this time, and we are naturally very happy." ”

Xi'er said on the side: "Miss, come and tell me about the battle against the top ten beauties in Kyoto by yourself!" All we hear is rumors from outside, and it's certainly not as exciting as what you say. ”

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "What is it to fight the top ten beauties in Kyoto by yourself?" ”

It turned out that the golden banquet in Yanbei has always been a talking point for the people of Yanbei, although the ordinary people could not participate in the golden banquet, but it did not affect their enthusiasm for paying attention to this matter. Especially this year's Golden Banquet is more eye-catching than any in previous years, so before these ladies returned, what happened in the Hot Spring Mountain Villa had already spread throughout Yunyang City.

Ren Yaoqi can be regarded as famous in one fell swoop.

Li said with a smile: "It's rumored outside, saying that you have compared the ladies carefully selected by the Queen Mother, and I heard that the storytellers in the teahouse are talking about it now." ”

"Miss, you can give us a big face!" Magpie said.

Ren Yaochi couldn't help blushing, saying that it was really an exaggeration for her to be one against ten. She can handle the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the rest is not won by real skills. She didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, even the Li family and the others had heard about it.

Ren Yaoqi was a little headache by what they said, and saw that Li and Mama Zhou were sewing small clothes, so she picked it up and looked at it and said, "This is for my sister's child?" ”

Li Shi looked at Ren Yaoqi and smiled: "Yes, your sister is still two months away from giving birth, and there are still a lot of preparations to be done first, so as not to be in a hurry at that time." ”

Ren Yaohua's birth date is expected to be in August, but Ren Yao's wedding date is in September, and the difference between the two major events is less than a month.

Ren Yaochi touched the clothes with them, it was very soft to the touch, and couldn't help but say, "Have you done so much to wear?" "Li and Mama Zhou have been making small clothes for many months, and now they have a whole box in stock.

Xi'er on the side sneered, squeezed her eyebrows and said, "It's not just the eldest lady." ”

Ren Yaoqi was stunned, and after seeing the expressions of several people in the room who wanted to laugh or not, she suddenly understood that Xi'er meant that the small clothes made by Li and Mama Zhou were not just for Ren Yaohua.

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help blushing a little.

Mama Zhou saw that Ren Yaoqi was uncomfortable, so she straightened up and taught a few maids: "Go and do your own work!" What are you doing here! ”

Xi'er and Que'er stuck out their tongues and retreated.

When Ren Yaoqi left the main room, Mama Zhou sent her out and said, "Miss, the Ren family sent someone here yesterday, and the fourth lady also came." ”

Ren Yaochi frowned: "But something?" ”

Mama Zhou said: "It is said that the old lady's body is not as good as day by day, and it is about to die when she sees it, thinking that our master can go back." Fortunately, our master is a man of the same word, and he really won't go back to Ren's house if he says he won't go back to Ren's house. ”

"How is Old Lady Ren's body?" Ren Yaochi asked.

Mama Zhou whispered: "I'm afraid it's really bad this time, I don't know if Lu Dao can survive this year." ”

Ren Yaochi was stunned: "Wasn't it okay before?" "She has always sent people to pay attention to the Ren family, and the old lady Ren has not been sick for a day or two, although she has not been able to fight well, but she can drag on for a while.

Mama Zhou shook her head: "I heard that someone wanted to buy the Ren family's ancestral house at a high price, but the old lady didn't know if Lu Dao was unwilling or how the condition suddenly became serious." ”

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, someone wants to buy the Ren family's ancestral house? Could it be someone from the Han family?

Mama Zhou muttered: "Fortunately, we have nothing to do with the Ren family, otherwise it would ...... Miss's wedding date will be affected. "Mama Zhou means that if the old lady dies at the wrong time, Ren Yao will give him filial piety, and the marriage will definitely be delayed. What happened to the Li family over the years made Mama Zhou have no good impression of the second elder of the Ren family at all.

"What is the fourth sister here for?" Ren Yaoqi asked again.

After Ren Yaoyin came back this time, neither she nor Ren Yaohua had contact with her, Ren Yaohua hated the things of the past, and Ren Yaoyin could no longer regard Ren Yaoyin as his sister.

"I came to visit Miss Eight, and I came to see our wife by the way. However, you have explained it before, so Mrs. did not stay as a guest. However, the slave maid heard that the fourth lady came to Yunyang City with the eldest lady, and the eldest lady was looking for someone for the fourth lady. ”

Ren Yaochi nodded, he didn't care much about these trivial matters of the Ren family, but it was the person who wanted to buy the Ren family's ancestral house at a high price that Mama Zhou said attracted Ren Yaoqi's attention.

On the second day, Ren Yaochi sent Yuan Dayong to investigate the details of the person who wanted to buy the Ren family's ancestral house.
