Chapter 148: Ascending to the Throne

The architectural style of the Yun family and the Han family is somewhat similar, not gorgeous, but solemn. Ren Yaoqi just glanced at it casually and could get a general understanding of the layout of the Yun family's mansion, but he really couldn't see any surprises. Even the plants that adorn the house are few flowers and many trees.

The courtyard where Old Lady Yun lived occupied a larger area than any courtyard that Ren Yaoqi had seen along the way. The older the family, the more it pays attention to the dignity of the elder and the younger, which can be seen from the layout of the house.

Ren Yaoqi followed Xiao Jinglin straight to Mrs. Yun's courtyard, and the Mama Gong who led them over was a very talkative person and very friendly, so although she didn't stop talking along the way, it didn't make people feel annoying, but Xiao Jinglin, who had always been cold, also answered her a few words.

When I walked outside the house, I could hear the sound of talking and laughing inside, and I could judge by listening to the sound that there were really a lot of people in the room, and they were talking.

Someone from afar saw them coming, and the people who were waiting at the door immediately went in to report it. When Ren Yaochi followed Xiao Jinglin to the door, the little maid waiting outside didn't have time to open the curtain, and the curtain was opened from the inside, and then an old woman with a full forehead and a rich appearance walked out, and when she saw Xiao Jinglin, she showed a gentle and loving smile on her face, and took Xiao Jinglin's hand first.

"Sister Lin, let my uncle and grandmother come to see if you have lost weight."

Xiao Jinglin was pulled so intimately, and her body was a little imperceptibly stiff, but she still couldn't bear to throw the person away, and pursed her lips and smiled: "Uncle and grandmother." ”

The old lady smiled, patted Xiao Jinglin's hand again before putting her hand down, and then turned her eyes to Ren Yaoqi's face, looked at it for a moment before smiling: "This is the girl of the Ren family?" ”

Ren Yaoqi bowed his head and saluted, and called in a low voice, "Auntie, grandmother." ”

The old lady of the Yun family, like the old lady Ren, was born in the Qiu family, and was actually a distant relative of Wufu, and she had no contact. However, Old Lady Yun's father, the previous patriarch of the Qiu clan, succeeded the old lady's brother in his later years.

Although there is this relationship, Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Ren are not sisters. However, it is not that the eight poles can't be beaten, and they are all from the Qiu family, so it is completely reasonable for Ren Yao to call Mrs. Yun and her aunt and grandmother.

Old Lady Yun smiled lovingly and boasted, "Good boy, he looks really smart." ”

At this time, a voice smiled behind Old Lady Yun and said, "Mother, we understand that you are happy to see the county lord coming, but it's not good to keep people out of the door and not let them in?" ”

Ren Yaochi followed the voice and saw a middle-aged woman with a dignified temperament, although she was not young, her face was extremely outstanding. Seeing that the faces of the two brothers were somewhat similar to Yun Wenfang and Yun Wenting.

Only then did Mrs. Yun react, patted her forehead, and shook her head with a smile: "Look at me, I'm confused." ”

So they all moved into the house together.

When he entered the house, Ren Yaoqi found that the old lady was not only following the eldest lady just now, but also a lot of people, but because the door was not spacious enough and there was a screen blocking it, I didn't see it.

Old Lady Yun was very happy to see it. wanted to pull Xiao Jinglin to sit on the Luohan bed in the north of the room, but Xiao Jinglin refused.

The old lady said half-truthfully: "The county lord refuses to sit with the old man, so the old man can only ask the county lord to sit alone." ”

Xiao Jinglin had a decent smile on her face, and her tone was slightly slower than usual: "Where is there any county lord." I have come to visit my aunt and uncle today, and I am also talking about family etiquette. As he spoke, he seriously bowed to Old Lady Yun.

Old Mrs. Yun was stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she looked at Xiao Jinglin's eyes even more lovingly, shook her head and smiled: "You kid!" ”

Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jinglin with some surprise. She thought that Xiao Jinglin didn't like to associate with the women in the inner house, so she didn't disdain this kind of confrontation and temptation, and it turned out that she was wrong again. Xiao Jinglin hates these socials in the house. But that doesn't mean she won't. Not only does she know, but she does it decently.

However, Ren Yaoqi also understood the reason why Xiao Jinglin didn't like to socialize with the women in the house.

Just like when they came in just now, if according to their identity, the people of the Yun family, including the old lady Yun, had to salute Xiao Jinglin. And Mrs. Yun greeted her first, and in the eyes of outsiders, she looked like she couldn't wait to meet the junior she liked, but she was also exempted from saluting.

When she entered the house, Mrs. Ren said that she would invite Xiao Jinglin to sit alone. If Xiao Jinglin really sits, then Mrs. Yun will definitely take the Yun family to salute Xiao Jinglin immediately. However, Xiao Jinglin refused, and gave Mrs. Yun enough face according to family etiquette.

Mrs. Yun introduced Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi to the people present, and for the second Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Yun San, Xiao Jinglin, they all performed the same junior salute as Ren Yaoqi.

When Mrs. Yun asked Yun Qiuchen, the eldest lady of the Yun family, to come up and greet Xiao Jinglin and her, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but glance at this Yun eldest lady, Yun Qiuchen married Han Yunqian in the previous life.

The eyebrows are like distant daisies, the eyes are like autumn water, the flowers are the appearance, and the snow is the skin. Yun Qiuchen is a rare beauty, with a leisurely and elegant temperament, and a real lady.

Miss Yun Er and Miss Yun San's appearance is actually not bad, but under Yun Qiuchen's companion village, they are all overshadowed.

In addition to the people of the Yun family, there are several ladies and ladies in Mrs. Yun's house, who came to visit Mrs. Yun at the Yun family today, and they are all from famous families in Yunyang City.

No wonder they heard that the house was so lively before they came, and no wonder Xiao Jinglin cooperated with Mrs. Yun to give the Yun family face, and Mrs. Yun was so happy. The more people like the Yun family, the more face is bigger than the sky. It's like the interests of the Ren family are greater than the sky.

After a salute, Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi sat on the guest seat together.

Although Ren Yaoqi also came, she knew that Xiao Jinglin was the protagonist, so her words and deeds were very low-key. Although Xiao Jinglin didn't like to talk much, the elders of the Yun family politely replied one by one, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. At least Xiao Jinglin did not have a cold scene, and Ren Yaoqi was not left out in the cold.

However, Xiao Jinglin didn't plan to stay in the Yun family for long, so after chatting for half an hour, Xiao Jinglin saw that the time was almost up and proposed to leave.

Old Mrs. Yun refused to put it in, so she had to leave Xiao Jinglin to eat.

was at a stalemate, and the eldest lady of the Yun family said softly: "County Lord, grandmother has prepared a few clothes and jewelry for our sisters, do you want to try them first?" The needlework team invited from Kyoto is still in the house, and if there is any misfit, it can be changed. ”

Old Mrs. Yun patted her forehead: "Look at my memory, if it weren't for the morning girl's reminder, I would have forgotten it." Sister Lin, listen to your uncle and grandmother, go try on clothes first. ”

Yun San's Miss Yun Qiufang smiled and said, "Yes, County Lord, you must try it, otherwise Grandmother won't let us choose first." You pick the rest, and we'll pick again. ”

Miss Yun San smiled heartlessly, but it made others look bad, the tea bowl in Mrs. Yun's hand was on the table, and the knocking sound was not heavy, but it successfully made everyone present put away those careful thoughts, and the scene was quiet.

Old Lady Yun didn't seem to be aware of it, and still smiled and went to talk to Xiao Jinglin: "Good boy, go with your cousins." ”

Xiao Jinglin naturally did not lack those clothes, but it was difficult to refuse because she was not lacking.

You lack something, someone else gave you something. You don't lack something, others give you a heart. Xiao Jinglin is not easy to refuse the wishes of her elders.

So Xiao Jinglin stood up obediently and thanked her. took advantage of the fact that others didn't pay attention, but he gave Ren Yaochi an apologetic look. Originally, the two planned to leave immediately.

Old Mrs. Yun smiled, and said kindly to Ren Yaoqi: "The girl of the Ren family will also go and pick out two suitable clothes and jewelry, and wear them at the golden banquet in a few days." ”

The golden banquet in Mrs. Yun's mouth is known to Ren Yao, in fact, it is a tea party held by the Yun family every two years. The invitees are all famous ladies and sons of various families in Yanbei.

The origin of the Qianjin Banquet was actually the result of the Yun family and the Su family's parting with each other. In order to increase their influence, the Su family took over the baton of organizing the Duanyang Festival Dragon Boat Race. The Yun family lost the opportunity to start one step later, and after the last move, they wanted to come out and hold a golden banquet.

When the Yun family came up with such a name, they didn't mean anything else, they just secretly quarreled with the Su family, and they didn't want the Yun family's daughter banquet to make a name for themselves in Yanbei for so many decades, because the participants were all young ladies and sons with good family backgrounds, so the daughter banquet gradually became a blind date banquet between the upper nobles in Yanbei.

Ren Yao did not participate in the previous life, because the women who participated in the competition also needed to meet two conditions in addition to being from a famous family, and there was no marriage match. There are exceptions, and that is the invitation that needs to be specially sent by the Yun family.

The invitation of the Yun family is not so easy to get, and when the age is not enough, only Ren Yaoyin of the Ren family has participated in the invitation of the Yun family.

Now that Mrs. Yun said this, she actually sent a verbal invitation to Ren Yaoqi.
