Li Shi also noticed Ren Shimin's dress, and hurriedly asked, "Master, do you want to take a bath first?" ”

Ren Shimin looked down at his clothes, frowned, and said, "I'm used to wearing it for so many days, and I feel that I stink when you remind me like this, go prepare some hot water." ”

Li Shi hurriedly ordered someone to boil water and brought clothes for Ren Shimin.

Ren Yaochi leaned over and said, "Daddy, isn't your journey smooth?" ”

Ren Shimin stretched out his hand and pushed Ren Yaoqi's head away: "Don't lean over, daddy smells so bad." ”

Ren Yaoqi smiled and said: "Dogs don't think their mothers are ugly, and I don't think my father smells." ”

Ren Shimin couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, but he didn't rush her anymore: "I originally planned to leave after participating in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace, but I was dragged by an incident, and then there were large and small banquets. ”

"Oh? Is something big going on? "Or is Xiao Jingxi's condition getting worse? The return trip has become a problem? Ren Yaochi couldn't help but worry.

Ren Shimin took the tea brought by the maid, and he didn't have the same attention as he used to be, so he opened the lid of the bowl and drank it, but fortunately, now that the weather is cold, the tea is just ready to eat.

Ren Shimin drank two sips of hot tea before saying: "This matter is big and big, and small and small." Xiao Ergongzi appeared once at the Wendou meeting, and was somehow seen by Yan Xiang's wife, and Mrs. Yan told the Queen Mother that she wanted to marry the daughter of the Yan family to the second son. ”

Ren Yaoqi was stunned when he heard this: "Miss Yan? ”

Ren Yaoqi remembered that in the previous life, Miss Yan also fell in love with Xiao Jingxi, and she had to chase him to Yanbei in the last life.

"Didn't you say that Xiao Ergongzi was sick?" Ren Yaochi asked, it seems that he should not be very sick.

Ren Shimin nodded: "The second prince showed up at the Wendou meeting, and since then he has been recuperating in the annex, and he only came out for a while until the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet after the end of the year." Speaking of this, Ren Shimin sighed, "I don't know how the second son of Xiao Dao is doing now." ”

Ren Yaochi frowned: "He didn't come back with you this time?" ”

Ren Shimin sighed: "Originally, the emperor and the queen mother were reluctant to let go before they went together, and it was not easy to get out after the last day. But the road was not very peaceful, and he met two assassins successively, and finally Xiao Ergongzi proposed that he go separately from us, and then Xiao Ergongzi's carriage disappeared, but after he left, the road was too peaceful, and it seems that those assassins are still going towards Xiao Ergongzi. ”

After Ren Yaoqi listened, the heart that had been put down hung again.

Xiao Jingxi hasn't come back yet?

Assassins again? Ren Yaochi couldn't help but think of the assassination incident that happened when he was riding in his carriage last time and the poison on his body, I don't know how many times in a year he will encounter such a thing?

Ren Yaochi also wanted to ask Ren Shimin for some details, but at this time, Li came over and said that the bath water had been prepared, and asked Ren Shimin to go over and take a bath. Ren Yaochi looked at Ren Shimin with a tired look. After all, he still held it back, and wanted to wait for Ren Shimin to rest before asking.

A few days after the third master Ren came back, Xiao Jingxi still had no news, but I don't know what reason Lu Dao had, the Yanbei Royal Mansion did not publicize the fact that Xiao Ergongzi did not return to Yanbei, and even Ren Shimin and they were all explained, don't say much. But Ren Yaochi heard Ren Yijun say that on the official road to Kyoto recently, there are more than twice as many people coming and going than usual.

The situation on the outside still seems calm on the surface, but underneath it is already tense.

When Ren Shimin was still in Kyoto. Master Ren once sent someone to Kyoto to inquire about the news, and now that Ren Shimin is back, the person who inquired about the news brought a letter from the second old lady who was far away in Kyoto.

Early this morning, Old Lady Ren summoned the adult men of the Ren family. Ren Shimin also went. After he returned, he rested for a few days, and finally slowly recovered.

After Ren Yaochi learned about it, he confessed, and as soon as the third master came back, he came to report to her that he knew the truth. Ren Yaochi guessed that the letter from the second old lady should be for the Ren family's coal stack in the south, and this matter was likely to have something to do with Fang Yacun.

Since Ren Yao knew about the involvement between Fang Yacun and Gonggong Lu. She pays attention to the news from Kyoto.

At noon, when Ren Shimin came back, Ren Yaoqi went to his study to look for him.

Ren Shimin was puzzled why his daughter cared about these boring trivial things, but he still said to Ren Yaoqi good-naturedly: "Father said that it was because of the help of the Fang family. The Ren family's coal mines in Jiangnan have improved somewhat. I heard that the Ren family may open four more coal stacks in the Kyoto area next year, and the relevant documents are already being prepared. ”

Ren Yaochi said tentatively: "I remember that the coal stack in Kyoto requires very cumbersome paperwork, and it costs a lot of money to dredge the relationship? ”

Ren Shimin thought for a while and said, "I heard my father say that there seems to be some noble person to help." ”

Ren Yaochi pursed her lips and asked in a somewhat stiff tone, "What nobleman?" ”

"This ...... Father didn't seem to say. Ren Shimin was embarrassed to say that he didn't pay attention to it.

Ren Yaochi lowered his head and said softly: "Where are there so many cheap things in this world?" What others have given you, you always hope to get more in return from you, but I don't know if the Ren family will be able to afford what the 'nobleman' wants. ”

"What in return? The Ren family is not short of silver. Ren Shimin didn't care.

Ren Yaochi sighed, she remembered that Ren Shimin said that after the beginning of the Spring Festival, he might have to go to Yunyang Academy to teach, so she asked: "Daddy, if you go to Yunyang Academy to teach, how much money will the academy give you every year?" ”

Ren Shimin glanced at Ren Yaoqi a little strangely when he heard this, and frowned: "Silver money is just something outside the body, Yaoyao, don't care too much about these, if you lack something, Daddy will let you buy it." As for the academy, I was trying to discuss with Chief Xu Shan not to take the monthly salary. ”

Master Ren San didn't like that money at all, and he only went to the academy because there were many like-minded people there, and he could study the things he was interested in with them, and he benefited a lot along the way to Kyoto this time.

Ren Yaoqi knew that Lu Dao would be like this.

She sighed secretly and said, "Daddy, it's not that I care about those things outside my body, it's just that you remember the fact that the fifth room was fined for a year and a month before?" ”

The third master of Ren suddenly said: "Oh, this matter? I remember. The fifth brother also came to me to borrow silver, but later I didn't know how my father knew about it, so he took the silver away, and said that if I dared to secretly give the fifth brother the silver again, I would be punished together. ”

Ren Yaochi nodded: "How are the fifth uncles doing this year, have you seen it?" ”

Mrs. Ren said that if she didn't give silver, she really didn't give it, originally Mrs. Ren had a lot of dowry, and it was not a problem to support the expenditure of the five rooms, but most of Mrs. Ren's dowry was some valuable jewelry, and she took out the dowry and pawned it a few times, and the fifth master Ren didn't let it, and she was not allowed to borrow silver from her mother's family.

When Mrs. Ren Wu got married, the dowry given to her by the Lin family was all good, many people have seen it, and some things will be known to others as soon as they are taken out. The fifth master is also a face-saving man, and he wants his wife to support him with a dowry, and he feels that there is no place to put his face.

But Mrs. Ren didn't take out the silver to subsidize, and the fifth master really couldn't take out the silver, so the fifth room was immediately overstretched. Mrs. Ren Wu had not suffered such a grievance, and within half a year, she couldn't hold on anymore, and began to secretly pawn jewelry again.

The fifth master, who had never spoken loudly to his wife for more than ten years, lost his temper and quarreled with the fifth wife a few times, and the two ignored each other for more than half a year, and it was only recently that they gradually eased up.

"Daddy, what if one day you are also punished by your grandfather?"

The fifth master Ren said tangledly: "This ...... No way? ”

Ren Yaochi shook his head: "If you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of what happens." Therefore, you still accept the money given by Yunyang Academy, the big deal is that you keep it and don't spend it, and after a few years, you can take out all this money and donate it to the academy to build a gallery or book building, wouldn't it be beautiful? You earned all this money yourself, unlike the art gallery built with the money of the Ren family. ”

Ren Shimin was moved, thought about it and nodded: "Then let's do it." ”

On the second day, Ren Shimin was invited to go to Yunyang Academy, and the people who came back from Kyoto with Ren Shimin were going to Yunyang Academy to give lectures for a while, and Ren Yao wanted to go with him on the grounds that he wanted to send a letter to the county lord. Mrs. Ren thought that Ren Yao would go to the palace more often, so she could have a good relationship with the princess, so she allowed her.

It's just that what Ren Yaochi didn't expect was that when she first arrived in Yunyang City, the first thing she heard was the news of the violent death of Wu Xiaohe, the chief soldier of Ningxia.

Although Ren Yaochi vaguely remembered that the time of Wu Xiaohe's death in the previous life was this time, but the moment she heard it, her face couldn't help but change.

Now the entire Yunyang City is lively because of this news.

Everyone knows that Wu Xiaohe, the general soldier of Ningxia, is the brother-in-law of the king of Yanbei, Wu Xiaohe has the military power of the entire Ningxia in his hands, and he plays a pivotal role in the stability of the frontier in the northwest region.

The position of Ningxia General Soldier is somewhat special, he is hereditary, from Lao Tzu to his son, and then from his son to his grandson. What's worse is that Wu Xiaohe has no son, he only has an only daughter.

The vacuum of military power in the northwest brought about by Wu Xiaohe's sudden death, although it is only temporary, will definitely make all forces ready to move.

But at this time, Xiao Jingxi had no news, and he didn't know if Lu Dao had come back safely.

Ren Yaochi hesitated for a moment, and finally found an envelope, filled it with a few angelicas, did not leave a single word, and did not sign, so she sent it to Yanbei Wangfu together with her letter to Xiao Jinglin.
