After Ren Yaoying was grounded, the Ren family's three-room life in Yunyang City became simpler and more leisurely.

Ren Yaoying also cried in the first few days when she was imprisoned, but Ren Yaoying didn't want to be a shrew after all, she was still very worried about her image. What she learned from her aunt was to cry beautifully even if she cried, so that people could feel pity for her, and the dry howl of splashing and rolling did not help her situation in the slightest, and Ren Yaoying had always learned very well about these. But when no one in the Ren family was willing to take care of her, it was useless for her to cry beautifully and be pitied. In this way, Ren Yaoying made trouble for two days, except for crying and swelling her eyes, she did not receive any effect.

She also thought about secretly sending someone back to Baihe Town to ask for help from Aunt Fang, but several of her personal maids were also ordered not to go out of the courtyard, as for the others, since they could be brought to Yunyang City by the Li family, they were all Li people, and Mama Zhou couldn't buy Ren Yaoying if she wanted to. Ren Yihong was not restricted from going out, but Ren Yaoying's grounding was personally ordered by the third master Ren, even if Ren Yaoying begged Ren Yihong, Ren Yihong, who admired and respected her father very much, would not help her deliver the letter as she wished.

After tossing like this for two or three days, Ren Yaoying also recognized the reality that people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and obediently waited for Ren San to let her out of her room after she was angry.

On this day, the third master Ren came back from the academy, Ren Yaoqi went to the main room because he was looking for him, and happened to hear the third master Ren talking to the Li family about the Zeng family yesterday and sent someone to the Ren family to find the old lady Ren, and also brought Zeng Yan's handwritten letter, in addition to the matchmaker present, there was also the eldest master of the Su family, Zeng Tong this time was officially asking for his son to marry Ren Yaohua, the posture was very grand, and the posture was also very modest.

"Did grandfather answer?" Ren Yaochi opened the curtain and asked with a frown.

Ren Shimin looked up and saw Ren Yaoqi coming in, knowing that she had always been very concerned about Ren Yaohua's family affairs. didn't care about her interrupting the elders, nodded and said, "I see that my father seems to have this intention, and he specially asked someone to send me a letter today because he thinks this marriage is feasible." ”

Ren Yaochi frowned and thought for a while, "Daddy, have you heard some news from Ningxia in the academy?" About Zeng Yan. ”

"Zeng Yan?" Ren Shimin thought about it seriously, "Ah! I really talked about Zeng Tong these days, I heard that Zeng Tong has good ability, didn't anyone in Ningxia want to listen to him before? However, in the past few months, Zeng Tong has gathered some people around him who have not been reused by General Wu before, although the power is not great, but the situation is much better than when he first entered Ningxia. ”

Ren Shimin is not interested in these things. But the place where he lives every day is, after all, Yunyang Academy. Since ancient times, scholars have gathered in one place, and in addition to the wind and snow, they like to talk about political affairs and current disadvantages. Ren Shimin no longer listens to things outside the window, and he can't avoid being exposed to them in that environment.

Ren Yaoqi hooked the corners of his mouth when he heard this, but there was no smile in his eyes: "No wonder my grandfather wants to accept this family business." ”

The Li family had also heard about Zeng Kui's matter, and he was not very satisfied with this family matter, so he asked Ren Shimin with some hesitation: "Master, is there no room for Hua'er's marriage to turn around?" ”

Ren Shimin looked at the expressions of his wife and daughter, knew what they thought, and sighed: "The marriage of juniors has always been decided by the elders, and my father is afraid that he will not allow me to interfere." But if you don't like the son of the Zeng family. I can go back and talk to my father. ”

Although Master Ren San felt that even if he disagreed, Old Lady Ren would not adopt his opinion, even if he was Ren Yaohua's father.

Ren Yaoqi also knew that the words of the third master of Ren might not work with the old lady Ren, but he heard that he was willing to go back and fight for Ren Yaohua. Ren Yaoqi was still happy, and the Li family was also very happy.

On the second day, the third master of Ren really went back to Baihe Town for Ren Yaohua's relatives.

However, the final result was as they expected, and the old lady Ren was just listening. did not take Ren Shimin, the opinion of being a father, seriously. After weighing the pros and cons, Old Lady Ren felt that it was a good choice to marry the Zeng family, as for the attitude of the Yanbei Palace, isn't there a Su family who is also related to the Zeng family by marriage? The Su family has not been stable all these years. It is even very reused by Yanbei Palace.

The contradictions between the imperial court and Yanbei are not a day or two, and these contradictions cannot be resolved in a period of time. However, the exchanges between Jiangnan and Yanbei have never been affected. Take 10,000 steps back and say that even if one day the Zeng family and the Yanbei Royal Mansion will be in the same situation and affect the Ren family, the in-laws, the Ren family will just give up a daughter.

Old lady Ren has a good calculation, and now the situation is not clear, he is standing on both sides, and he will take a firm stand when the situation is clear one day.

Because he had already expected Old Lady Ren's attitude, when Third Master Ren went back to talk to Ren Yaochi about this matter, Ren Yaochi was not too disappointed.

However, Ren Yaohua found Ren Yaoqi after hearing about it, and said bluntly: "I heard that my grandfather has planned to officially respond to the Zeng family, and he will make an order after a while?" I'd rather twist my hair and be my sister-in-law than marry someone like Zeng Kui. ”

If it weren't for the last time I met Zeng Kui in the White Dragon Temple, Ren Yaohua might not have been so repulsive about this family business. But now that she has seen Zeng Kui's face, if someone as proud as Ren Yaohua marries Zeng Kui and lets him abuse her, she will be worse than dead.

Ren Yaoqi smiled and comforted Ren Yaohua and said, "Third sister, don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen." ”

I swear I won't let you marry into the Zeng family! Ren Yaoqi secretly swore in his heart.

In the afternoon of this day, when Ren Yaoqi asked people to send a letter to Xiao Jinglin in Yanbei Palace, he carried an unsigned letter.

In the evening, Ren Yaoqi received a reply letter that was also unsigned.

Ren Yaoqi read the letter silently under the lamp, thought about it, and threw the letter into the incense burner and burned it.

On the second day, Ren Yaoqi proposed to Li that he wanted to go to his grandfather's house.

When they first moved in, the Rong family sent some things over, all of which were homemade food, although Ren Shimin did not wait to see the people of the Yue family, but he was also polite, so he sent a rich return gift, but the interaction between the two families was nothing more.

Li thought that it would be her mother Rong's birthday in the last month, and she would go back to visit her father and mother when the time came, so she didn't go back to her parents' house except for sending things to Xianwangfu twice.

Hearing that Ren Yaochi wanted to visit her grandfather and grandmother, the Li family was still happy, and she knew that Ren Yaoqi often went to see the Rong family when she was in Yunyang City.

She herself can't often go back to her parents' house to cause gossip for many reasons, but it doesn't matter if Ren Yao goes.

So the Li family immediately responded, and prepared some edible medicinal materials for Ren Yaoqi for her to bring over. The Li family originally wanted Ren Yaohua to go with her, but Ren Yaohua said that the eldest lady of the Lei family said that she would come over in the next few days, and she was afraid that she and Ren Yaoqi would leave, and Lei Paner would cry if she didn't see anyone when she came. Although what Ren Yaohua said was an excuse, Li didn't say anything except sighing.

Ren Yaochi took two henchmen and maids to take a carriage and went alone.

The courtyard where the Ren family lives now and the house where the Xianwang family is located can be said to be one in the southwest of the Aquarius Hutong and the other in the northwest of the Aquarius Hutong, and there is also a vast Yunyang Academy in the middle. It's not too far, but it's not close.

After the carriage came out of the alley in front of Ren's house, Ren Yaoqi instructed the mother-in-law who was driving the car: "Go around to Zhengyang Street, and I will go to Fumanlou to buy two boxes of snacks and bring them over." ”

The mother-in-law who drove the carriage did not suspect him, and drove the carriage to turn around and go to Zhengyang Street.

It was still very early when Ren Yao went out, and most of the people in the area near Zhengyang Street near Fumanlou were teahouses, restaurants, and dim sum shops, because it was not yet time to eat, so it was not lively at noon, and the flow of people was a lot less.

Ren Yaoqi's carriage first stopped at the door of Fumanlou, and Ren Yaoqi sent two mothers-in-law who came with him and said: "You go in and help me buy two boxes of dim sum, they all have to be freshly baked, it's still early, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for you for a while." ”

The two mothers-in-law were busy and didn't care.

Ren Yaochi asked the apples to count some broken silver and give them some broken silver: "There is tea and snacks in Fumanlou, you go in and drink tea while waiting, I will wait for you in the teahouse in front." ”

The two mothers-in-law took the money and happily responded.

Ren Yaochi asked the coachman to drive the carriage forward a little further, and entered the side alley behind a teahouse, and entered through the side door of the side alley.

This teahouse is for female guests, so there is a special passage for female guests to enter and exit.

As soon as Ren Yao got out of the carriage, he saw Tongxi.

It stands to reason that there are no male guests here, and the appearance of Tongxi is really a bit abrupt, but Ren Yaoqi is not the slightest surprise. Because there are no other guests in this teahouse today except for them.

Tongxi saw Ren Yaoqi and immediately greeted him, and saluted, "Fifth Miss." ”

Ren Yaochi nodded and motioned for him to go ahead and lead the way.

Tongxi took Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaoqi's two personal maids to the second floor of the teahouse, and then stopped in front of a private room.

Tongxi glanced at Ren Yaoqi, and then stepped aside.
