The winter of the seventeenth year of Chengqian came earlier than usual.

Only a few days after the Chung Yeung Festival, several states and counties in the north ushered in the first heavy snow of this winter.

The day before, the sky was still cool, but as soon as noon arrived, the sky was suddenly shrouded in a tumbling curtain of gray and orange, and after a short foreshadowing, dense snowflakes could not wait to sweep the whole world.

After just one night's work, all the areas north of Yanzhou changed their costumes, and they were all covered in silver.

In the wing room where the earth dragon was burned, Ren Yaoqi was lying on the hot kang with her eyes closed, and the quilt that pressed on her was a little heavy.

Her forehead and neck had been soaked with a fine layer of sweat, her cheeks were burned crimson by the heat on the kang, and her nose was filled with the smell of menthol.

Through the heavy cotton curtain in the inner room, there was the whispered conversation of two maids.

"You look so good, it doesn't look like you painted it yourself, where did you come from?"

"This is what I asked for from Aunt Fang's sister Kumquat. I heard that it is a recent fashionable pattern in Kyoto in the south, and it is not even in Yunyang City. ”

"Sister Kumquat? How can you get something from her? ”

"Hehe, I said that it was for Miss Fifth to embroider the upper, did she dare to give it?"

"You treacherous girl, be careful that the fifth lady knows what she said, let Aunt Fang pull you out of the gang and go to the little girl!"

"Okay, you bad hoof...... See if I don't tear your rotten mouth. ”

Across the curtain was the frolicking sound of two maids chasing around the table, and the tea set on the table was banged, and the sound was suddenly quiet, but after a pause, it was up again, and finally the people who were afraid of the inner room were much quieter.

At this moment, a stern rebuke suddenly interjected: "What are you guys doing!" It was the voice of an older woman.

Suddenly there was silence outside.

"Mama Zhu atonements, slaves and maids ......" The two little maids hurriedly defended.

Mama Zhu interrupted impatiently: "Is Miss awake?" ”

Her voice was not deliberately lowered, but still a little anxious, and although she asked, her footsteps came to the inner room without pause.

"I just drank the medicine and rested, I guess I'm sleeping heavily at this time." A maid hurriedly replied, and hurriedly followed, as if to help the grandmother lift the curtain in the inner room.

"You go out and keep watch, don't let people in." Mama Zhu stopped the maid's movements.

"Yes." The two maids paused and retreated neatly.

Ren Yaochi lay there with his eyes closed and didn't move, as if he was asleep.

The cotton curtain separating the inner room from the bright room was lifted, and the sultry air in the inner room was stirred, and a slightly cooler wind flowed in.

"Miss? Wake up, Miss......"

The man hurriedly ran to the side of the kang, shouted a few times, and seeing that Ren Yaoqi did not move, he reached over and gently pushed her arm through the futon.

Ren Yaoqi finally opened his eyes, but his eyes were a little sleepy.

"Mama Zhu?" Her voice was a little dry, and she had been lying on the hot kang for a long time, and she needed some tea from time to time.

"Eh, it's a slave, do you want to drink water?" A smile immediately appeared on Mama Zhu's round face, but there was an anxious look in her eyes.

Ren Yaochi nodded.

Mama Zhu immediately walked to the long table where a complete set of pastel teapots and tea Gu were placed against the north wall of the inner room, and poured a tea of Gu water back.

She put the tea Gu on the kang table, and then helped Ren Yaoqi to sit up, supporting her back with one hand, and bringing the tea Gu to her lips with the other hand to feed her.

It's just that she was a little anxious, Ren Yaoqi tilted her head, and the water in the tea Gu dripped onto the quilt she was covering, and the pine green satin immediately became wet.

"Ahem......"

Mama Zhu hurriedly put down the tea Gu and patted her on the back: "Miss, you are fine, right?" ”

Ren Yaoqi was completely sober, she pushed away Mama Zhu's hand and glanced at her: "The water is cold......"

Mama Zhu hurriedly smiled and said, "Yo, it must be those two maids on duty who are slippery and lazy and forget to change the hot tea, and the old slave will teach them a lesson later." ”

Saying that, Mama Zhu took a jacket placed next to her, draped it on Ren Yaoqi's shoulder, and said: "Miss, my aunt just received the news that the third wife and the third lady are on their way back to the house, although the heavy snow came suddenly, and several roads outside the city were closed overnight, but there are guards from the Yanbei Palace, and the carriage can also enter the city this evening at the latest." ”

Ren Yaoqi was stunned: "Mother and third sister are back?" ”

She lowered her eyes, making it difficult to see the emotions in her eyes, but the fingers held at the placket couldn't help but tremble a little.

Mama Zhu's tone finally did not hide her anxiety: "Yes, I heard that I still let the frame of the old princess of Yanbei Wangfu escort back, and I set off from Zhuangzi yesterday morning, and the house only received the news early this morning." Miss, what can I do now? ”

Ren Yaochi blinked her eyes quickly, hiding the water in her eyes, she took off the jacket on her body, and wanted to wear it on her body, Mama Zhu immediately came up to help, while still whispering in Ren Yaoqi's ear: "I don't know what means Miss Lu Daosan used to move the old princess of Yanbei." Fifth Miss, when Third Miss comes back, where can there be a place for you in this crape myrtle courtyard? ”

Hearing this, Ren Yaoqi glanced at Mama Zhu, who was lowering her head and hurriedly buttoning her button, but she couldn't help sneering in her heart, the Ren family more than ten years ago really had a lot of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.

For the past two days, she has been watching coldly, wanting to take a serious look at the dirt behind this thick and colorful painting skin.

Mama Zhu didn't notice Ren Yaoqi's strange appearance, helped her buckle her button, raised her head and continued: "The old lady has always liked the third lady more than you, and the third lady depends on her for everything, no matter how big or small the things in our yard are, she has the final say, but she doesn't like you again, and she is embarrassed by you everywhere, so that the third lady will not take your daughter to heart, and only believe in her demagoguery......"

Speaking of this, Mama Zhu quietly glanced at Ren Yaoqi with her eyes, and to her surprise, Ren Yaoqi just leaned on the back of the big red background Fang Shengwen on the kang head and looked at her quietly, her clear eyes were like good glass, quiet and clear.

Ren Yaoqi remembered that the third sister Ren Yaohua was in the autumn of the sixteenth year of Chengqian, because she pushed the sixth brother Ren Yihong and fell into the lotus pond, and was punished by the old lady to go to Zhuangzi to think about it.

Their mother, the third lady of the Ren family, went to the old lady to intercede and was rejected from the hospital, and after the last time, she accompanied the third sister to Zhuangzi, and she was left in the Ren family at the age of nine.

Mother Li is a timid and cowardly woman.

Lee's cowardice doesn't just stem from her childhood upheaval.

She married into the Ren family in the forty-seventh year of Qinglong, and had nothing to do in the first two years, gave birth to a daughter in the third year but died within 100 days, and gave birth to another daughter in the fifth year.

At this time, the old lady of the Ren family was already very dissatisfied with the Li family, but fortunately, the Li family became pregnant again in the second year after giving birth to the next daughter.

It's a pity that the Li family has no children, and the third child is still a daughter, this is Ren Yao, the fifth lady of the Ren family.

The old lady of the Ren family was completely cold to the Li family because of this, and three days after Ren Yao was born, she made the decision to accept a concubine of her maiden sister-in-law as a concubine for the third master of the Ren family.

The noble concubine Fang was pregnant half a year after entering the door, and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses in October, which established her status in the Ren family.

And Ren Yao's birth not only put his mother's status in the Ren family in jeopardy, but also an existence that disgusted his grandmother.

Since the Li family was first pregnant with Ren Yao, Mrs. Ren was full of hope for her child. She has found a Taoist monk to tell her fortune, and she has also found an experienced midwife to touch the fetus, and even found a wizard to divinate the hexagram, and those people unanimously said that this child is a male fetus, so Mrs. Ren also firmly believes that her daughter-in-law's third child is pregnant with a son.

So after Ren Yaoqi was born, Mrs. Ren decided that her newly-born granddaughter was a demon, and squeezed away her original grandson's position, and she didn't like her.

is also the third lady Ren Yaohua from the Li family, because she looks like the old lady Ren when she was young, and she is smart and intelligent, so she has been treated differently by the old lady.

"Fifth Miss?" Mama Zhu saw Ren Yaochi staring at her and didn't speak, thinking that she was sleepy, so she tried to gently push Ren Yaoqi, thinking about whether to pour another glass of cold water.

Ren Yaoqi glanced at Mama Zhu's hand on her arm.

Mama Zhu's body stiffened, she raised her hand and stroked her temples in disguise, and said with a smile: "Miss, Aunt Fang said that Miss, your illness has improved greatly, and she used the original prescription to worry that the effect of the medicine was too strong, and said that she would ask the doctor to come into the house later to re-prescribe your pulse." ”

Ren Yaochi said "um" and did not object.

Mama Zhu muttered to herself in her heart, why did Miss Wu look a little different in the past two days? It's just a ten-year-old child, but the occasional look in those calm eyes makes people feel panicked?

For the mothers-in-law and maids around him, most of Ren Yaoqi has no impression. Because they have not been with her for long, they will be sent out shortly afterward.

She still remembers this Mama Zhu, in her impression back then, Mama Zhu seemed to be a very kind and caring mother-in-law, who would give her advice and be regarded as her confidant.

She remembered that she even quarreled with her third sister Ren Yaohua for this Mama Zhu, and she almost got into a fight after the worst.

But judging from her current experience, she doesn't think that this Mama Zhu has any merit.

She didn't care enough to serve her, she neglected to discipline the maids in her yard, and her words seemed to be all for her master, but in fact, they were everywhere to provoke her relationship with Ren Yaohua.

Ren Yaohua has a domineering and strong temperament, and she was stubborn and willful when she was young, under the instigation and provocation of such two people, where can Ziwei Courtyard be peaceful?

This time, she would never allow those people to take advantage of the feud between their sisters to make a fuss and calculate them.

Daddy...... Mother......

Ren Yaoqi muttered in his heart, in this life, you must live a long life.
