In the private room on the second floor of a teahouse next door to Fuman Building, two men sat by the window.

After the carriage and the crowd downstairs had dispersed, the young man spoke: "Brother, that is the only son who trusted Zeng Yan, the general soldier of Ningxia just now?" His face ......"

Sitting opposite the young man was a young man who thought he had a calm temperament, he frowned slightly and looked thoughtfully in the direction in which the carriage left, and only when he heard the young man's question did he speak: "What is there to inquire about this kind of thing?" Just stay away from him. ”

Hearing this, the young man glanced at his brother in some surprise: "Brother, how can you judge people by their appearance?" ”

Lei Ting held the teacup and said lightly: "I never judge people by their appearance, but I believe that each other is born from the heart, this Zeng Gongzi has an eccentric temperament, and he is not a person who can be deeply acquainted." ”

The young man frowned when he heard this, and said puzzledly: "Brother, how did you see that he has a strange temperament?" I saw that he seemed to be very cheerful, and he never felt inferior because of his appearance. ”

Thunder snorted when he heard this: "Isn't it weird to take other people's fear of him as fun? Don't you feel inferior? Maybe he's just hiding it a little deeper. ”

Lei Zhen frowned and thought about it, he was not very old, and he didn't see human nature thoroughly, but he also felt that what his brother said made some sense, and he thought that it was a big deal to stay away from this young master Zeng, so he threw Zeng Kui away, and said, "It's not too early, I'll go pick up Pan'er and go home." ”

Lei Ting glanced at the direction in which the carriage left, put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly: "Wait a little longer, otherwise she will have to make a fuss again." ”

Lei Zhen looked at Lei Ting with some curiosity and said, "Brother, are the third and fifth ladies of the Ren family trustworthy?" You seem to be relieved to be close to them? ”

Thunder said ambiguously: "Pan'er has the ability to judge herself, who really treats her well, who is using her, she doesn't say it and understands it very well in her heart." ”

Lei Zhen thought about it and said with a smile: "No wonder she didn't appreciate it before, no matter how the maid in your room tried to please her, she didn't appreciate it when she was young, and she didn't know who Lu Dao was like." Saying that, Lei Zhen glanced at Lei Ting. jokingly, "My sister-in-law was also a generous character when she was alive, and although Pan'er followed her in appearance, her temperament was not the same." ”

Hearing this, Lei Ting glanced at Lei Zhen lightly, and then picked up a peanut kernel from the dish on the table, rubbed his fingers slightly, and Lei Zhen covered his forehead with a "hiss-" sound.

Ignoring Lei Zhen's angry gaze, Lei Ting patted his clothes and stood up: "I have to leave beforehand, you go to pick up Pan'er back home after drinking tea." With that, he turned around and left.

Lei Zhen rubbed his forehead helplessly and whispered, "It's so stingy." No jokes! ”

When Ren Yaoqi followed Ren San back to the other courtyard, Lei Paner had already been picked up by a maid sent by Lei Zhen. Ren Yaohua didn't take the matter of meeting Zeng Kui before, so he didn't mention it to Ren Yaoqi.

The third master Ren stayed in Yunyang City for another day, drew the drawings for the renovation of the courtyard and handed them over to the steward, and then took the three sisters of Ren Yaoqi back to Baihe Town. It took two months before he officially taught at Yunyang Academy, so it would take two months for the yard to be renovated before he moved his family over.

In Fangfei Courtyard, Aunt Fang got up from a nap, and the new little maid used a copper basin to fetch a basin of water and went into the house. Far away on the basin stand in the outhouse, he quickly bowed his head and left.

The eldest girl Kumquat couldn't help frowning when she came out and saw the copper basin, and was about to call someone to come in and replace the copper basin, but she heard Aunt Fang calling her in the back room, and Kumquat thought that Aunt Fang should not come out of the back room at this time. So he soaked the veil with the water in the copper basin, wrung it out and sent it in.

After serving Aunt Fang, she cleaned her hands and face, and Kumquat immediately went out to call the maid to come in and pour the water out, not wanting the new maid to not know the rules in Aunt Fang's house. After pouring the water, he put the copper basin on the shelf.

When Aunt Fang came out of the inner room, she saw the copper basin on the shelf at a glance, and then she couldn't help but tremble, and the muscles on her face began to become distorted. Without warning, Aunt Fang picked up the tea tray on the table and smashed it on the copper basin, the copper basin fell off the shelf, but it rolled to Aunt Fang's feet, Aunt Fang looked down, and then covered her face and screamed briefly.

She seemed to be trying to suppress her voice, and before she could scream, she swallowed it hard, and her pale lip, which was not bloody, was bitten into a deep tooth mark and bloodshot.

Kumquat, who was looking for clothes for Aunt Fang, heard the movement and ran out, and when she saw the copper basin that had been knocked to the ground and Aunt Fang, who was raising her eyes and staring at her coldly, she was so frightened that her feet softened: "Auntie, don't be angry, you ......"

Mama Yu hurriedly walked in, and when she saw this situation, she understood what was going on, and immediately stepped forward to pick up the copper basin, and then threw it away, scolding the little maid at the door: "Who taught you the rules?" Fangfei Yuan only uses wooden basins, don't you know the way! Go down and get the punishment yourself! ”

The frightened little maid sobbed and went down.

Mama Yu entered the house and glanced at the kumquat kneeling on the ground, sighed secretly, and then helped Aunt Fang back to the inner room.

Aunt Fang came back to her senses, raised her hand and stroked her face in a daze, just when Mama Yu wanted to comfort her a few words, Aunt Fang took a deep breath and calmed down, and said to Mama: "Go and let the kumquat get up." ”

Mama Yu breathed a sigh of relief and went to the outer room to ask Kumquat not to kneel.

Kumquat wiped her tears and came in to kowtow to Aunt Fang and thank her.

At this time, there was a trembling report from the mother-in-law outside: "Auntie, Miss Nine is here." ”

Aunt Fang immediately got up and ran to her bedside, picked up the veil that she had placed on the side of the bed when she cleaned her face before, and covered her face.

After Aunt Fang's face was tightly wrapped, she got up and sat down at the table, nodded calmly to Mama and said, "Let Ying'er come in." ”

Mama Yu answered, and soon Ren Yaoying came in.

Aunt Fang's tone was as soft as before: "Ying'er, are you back?" ”

Aunt Fang's face was veiled, Ren Yaoying was not so afraid, she walked to Aunt Fang's side and said, "Mother, I'm back, and my father is also back." Daddy ...... He's got something to do right now, and I'll beg him to come and see you when he's done. ”

Since Aunt Fang was injured, Ren Shimin has not stepped into Fangfei Courtyard again. Ren Yaoying felt that Aunt Fang must be wronged in her heart, she once begged Ren Shimin to come and see her aunt, but Ren Shimin only said lightly: "Let your aunt take good care of her injuries, read Buddhist scriptures without any trouble, and calm your mind." If you need anything, go and tell your mother. ”

Later, Ren Yaoying also understood that her father didn't want to see her aunt, so she didn't dare to say anything she asked again.

Aunt Fang seemed to smile when she heard this, she reached out and touched Ren Yaoying's cheek, and changed the topic: "The yard has been chosen?" When will you move in? ”

Ren Yaoying remembered Ren Shimin's words before she said that she would not take her aunt to Yunyang City, her heart was sour, and she smiled forcefully: "Father said that it still needs to be repaired before he can live, and he can move in about the end of March." ”

Aunt Fang nodded, and asked Ren Yaoying about Ren Yaoying's affairs in Yunyang City.

Ren Yaoying remembered the purpose of her coming over today, so she whispered about her encounter with Zeng Kui on the street the day before yesterday.

Aunt Fang didn't speak for a long time after listening to this.

Ren Yaoying took Aunt Fang's hand and said hopefully: "Auntie, did you say that the ugly boy of the Zeng family has taken a fancy to Ren Yaohua?" Auntie, didn't you see Zeng Gongzi's appearance, her daughter was almost scared to death by him. ”

Aunt Fang was stunned, and subconsciously raised her hand and touched her veil.

Ren Yaoying then remembered that she had said the wrong thing in front of Aunt Fang, and she was only to blame that she had been thinking about the possibility between Zeng Kui and Ren Yaohua for the past two days, and she was a little excited to see Aunt Fang talking about it at this time.

"Mother, I'm ...... I'm not ......."

Aunt Fang came back to her senses and saw Ren Yaoying's remorseful expression, and smiled: "Auntie has nothing to do, you continue." ”

Ren Yaoying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Aunt Fang's appearance, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the maid outside whispering that her aunt's temperament had changed greatly since she was injured on her face, and she would lose her temper at every turn, especially when others mentioned her appearance in front of her, and now she was not allowed to put mirrors, bronzes and porcelain that were too smooth in her room.

But Ren Yaoying felt that Aunt Fang had not changed, she was still the aunt who was gentle and kind to her.

So Ren Yaoying continued: "Mother, anyway, the third sister must marry out of Lu, why don't you want her to marry the son of the Zeng family?" Zeng Gongzi will definitely return to Ningxia in the future, and when the third sister also goes to Ningxia, no one will be right with us. ”

Ren Yaoying thought that as long as Ren Yaohua married that ugly monster, then she would not be able to compare to her in this life no matter what, because as long as she was a person, she was better than Zeng Kui.

Thinking like this, Ren Yaoying couldn't even sleep well in the past two days, and as soon as she came back, she ran over to find Aunt Fang.

Aunt Fang muttered, "Young Master of the Zeng family? Zeng Yan's son? Ying'er, do you know that Lu Dao Zeng Yan is now the chief soldier of Ningxia appointed by the imperial court? ”

Ren Yaoying said: "I've inquired, Zeng Yan, the chief soldier of Ningxia, is just saying good things, he has no soldiers and no power in his hands, what are you afraid of?" ”

Aunt Fang's heart was not as simple as Ren Yaoying's, she thought for a while and said, "Aunt Fang needs to inquire clearly about this matter before making a decision." ”
