Chapter 147: The Zhai Family
Dong Sheng's words made Ren Yaoqi's hand pause, and his face showed a rare feeling of surprise. However, she quickly calmed down, and even had a hint of exclamation.
No wonder I didn't find out a rough idea after checking for so long, it turned out that I had found the wrong target.
Presumably, Ren Yaoting was nervous when she saw those tablets at that time, and the light was dim, so she was wrong. The words Qu and Zhai are originally very similar.
"Tell me about this...... Zhai family. Ren Yaoqi said softly.
Through a curtain, Dongsheng's calm voice came.
"This Zhai family was also a big family in Yanzhou a few decades ago, and they lived in Baihe Town. However, there are not many people surnamed Zhai in Yanzhou, and this family also moved from the south many years ago. It's a pity that the Liao people invaded later, and the Zhai family didn't have time to leave Yanbei, and the whole clan was in trouble, and none of the more than 100 people survived. ”
When the Liao people were ravaging Yanbei, there were not a few people who suffered the same as the Zhai family.
"Wiped out by the Liao?" Ren Yaoqi asked as if talking to herself.
"Yes, miss, that's what is written in the local annals."
"What is the connection between the Zhai family and the Han family?" Ren Yaochi asked.
Dong Sheng said with some regret: "I don't know how many people suffered the same as the Zhai family back then, and the local chronicles only briefly mentioned a few sentences, and there is no more specificity." ”
This is also expected, Ren Yaochi understands. But I finally have a goal, and it's a lot easier to check it in the future.
"But ......," Dongsheng seemed to remember something.
Ren Yao knew that Dao Dongsheng was not a person who liked to sell guan, so he didn't urge, just listened to him carefully.
Sure enough, Dongsheng just paused for a moment and continued: "There are not many records about the Zhai family in the local chronicles, but it seems that the residence of the Zhai family is not far from the current Ren Mansion. ”
Ren Yaoqi's heart moved when he heard this, the location of the Zhai family recorded in the local chronicles must have only been recorded in a rough way, and Dongsheng said that it was not far away. Could it be that the Ren family's house was originally the Zhai family's? The Ren family's house was bought back from someone else in her great-grandfather's generation, and it was also close to the period when the Zhai family was in trouble.
However, since the Zhai family was lost in the hands of the Liao people, what does this have to do with the Ren family? Although the Ren family always claims to be a family, Ren Yaoqi is a knowledgeable person, a few decades ago, the Ren family was just an ordinary family in Yanbei, but the Zhai family was already a local family. What position does the Ren family have with the Zhai family?
Is it just for that one house?
Ren Yaoqi thought about it for a while, but he couldn't think of a reason for it for the time being.
But thanks to Dongsheng for helping her check so much, she sincerely thanked her.
Dong Sheng said: "Actually, this time it's thanks to Xiao Ergongzi." ”
Ren Yaoqi was stunned when he heard this, and Dongsheng asked Xiao Jingxi a question, and Xiao Jingxi mentioned something about himself.
Ren Yaoqi was speechless when he heard this.
Dongsheng was a little worried that Ren Yaoqi was blaming her for saying this to Xiao Jingxi casually. Just as he was about to apologize, Ren Yaoqi had already spoken out: "When you see Xiao Ergongzi, remember to help me say thank you." In addition, since you have already followed him, naturally there should be something behind his back. He doesn't ask you, but if he does, don't lie. ”
Dongsheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly responded.
Dongsheng is already Xiao Jingxi's person, Ren Yaoqi asked Dongsheng to run errands for her, but he was actually the one who borrowed him. Xiao Jingxi doesn't care about her, it's because he is generous. Ren Yaochi didn't want to know what to do. Therefore, the things she asked Dongsheng to do were not afraid of Xiao Jingxi's knowledge, and she would not find Dongsheng for difficult things.
Ren Yaoqi and Dongsheng were talking in the carriage, and Xiao Jinglin soon came back with two small bowls.
Those were two fine porcelain bowls in pastel. Look, it's not the things on that stall, and I don't know when Xiao Jinglin came up with it.
Apple stepped forward to take the bowl and let Xiao Jinglin get into the carriage.
Ren Yaoqi looked at the bowl of bean curd on the table with some curiosity, and there were some red, green, and green seasonings on it.
She also ate bean curd. In Kyoto, it is also considered a small flavored snack, smooth and delicious, but all she has eaten is sweet. It's the first time I've seen such a strange bean curd.
Apple took out a silver spoon and gave it to Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jinglin.
Xiao Jinglin had already picked up the bowl in her hand and drank it in small sips while blowing, and she didn't even ask for a spoon.
Ren Yaoqi recognized the layer of chili oil on it, and didn't dare to drink it directly like her, so she picked a spoonful of it.
There is no doubt that the taste is really good. Even if she doesn't know much about Xiao Jinglin, her appreciation of food is really good.
Xiao Jinglin drank a sweat, and Ren Yaoqi took a small sip of the spoon and slowly finished eating the contents of the bowl.
"How? Is it delicious? Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi with a rare smile in her eyes.
Ren Yaoqi put down the silver spoon in his hand and nodded: "Well, it's delicious." ”
The smile in Xiao Jinglin's eyes deepened: "I know that you will like it." ”
While they were eating in the carriage, the carriage stood still, and when it was finished, they went on slowly.
"How do you know it's delicious?" Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile, she didn't believe that Xiao Jinglin walked the streets with her mouth and nose all day long. Even this kind of hidden place can be found.
I didn't want Xiao Jinglin to say lightly: "People close to me know that I love to eat, so they will talk to me about it." The bean curd here is delicious, and one of my soldiers told me. The old couple who bought bean curd were his neighbors. ”
I see.
Although Xiao Jinglin is the county lord, most of the people under her are from ordinary people. This also shows from one side that Xiao Jinglin is doing well in the army, at least no one rejects her.
"County Lord, Miss, I've arrived at the second gate of Yunfu." Dongsheng's hearty voice sounded outside.
The Yun family has arrived.
The two got out of the carriage one after another, and then saw several mothers-in-law and maids hurriedly coming up from the door of the second gate, and their faces were like smiling flowers.
"County Lord, you can come. Our old lady drinks and looks forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looks forward to you. ”
"Gong Mama." Xiao Jinglin nodded calmly and coldly at the grandmother and said hello.
The mother-in-law looked accustomed to Xiao Jinglin's attitude, the smile on her face was still the same, and she stopped her eyes on Ren Yaoqi: "This is Miss Ren, right?" ”
Ren Yaoqi could see at a glance that this grandmother must be used by the old lady of the Yun family or the wife of the Yun family, and it stands to reason that she should give a half-salute.
But just now Xiao Jinglin just nodded, if she salutes at this time, others will think that she is deliberately flattering or flattering. Therefore, Ren Yaoqi only put a kind and gentle smile on his face, and called "Gong Mama." (To be continued.) )
