Chapter 502: The Suitor
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
When Yan Ningshuang came to Yanbei, she brought the will of the Queen Mother to let Yun Wenting and Zhao Yingqiu get married. Ren Yao also heard that the Yun family was preparing for the wedding before, but the Yun family itself was not very enthusiastic about this family business, and had the attitude of procrastinating as long as they could, and other families who were ordered by the Queen Mother were also watching the actions of the Yun family, wishing that the Yun family would drag on as long as possible.
Ren Yaochi looked at the girl with a flushed face and a little excited, and asked, "Where did you hear that?" ”
Xiangqin grinned, squatted in front of Ren Yaoqi and pinched her legs: "I heard from a mother-in-law in the kitchen of our house, her niece's cousin's second uncle's brother is an old man who has been with the old lady of the Yun family for decades, saying that the Yun family is now preparing for the wedding of the young master of Yun, and that Miss Zhao will be married next month." ”
Speaking of which, Yun Wenting, the eldest young master of the Yun family, has a lot of admirers in Yanbei, both openly and secretly, and there are many people who pay attention to his marriage, even these maids often talk about Yun Wenting when they chat privately on weekdays, and Yun Dashao's popularity is not high.
Xiangqin was chatting with a few maids around Ren Yaoqi about the marriage of the eldest young master of the Yun family, Ren Yaoqi was about to stop it, but when she looked up, she found that Xiao Jinglin didn't know when Lu Dao came, and she was lifting the curtain and walking in.
Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin don't have too many rules with each other, and when Xiao Jingxi is away, Xiao Jinglin sometimes doesn't need someone to come in to report.
Lord Xiao has never had much expression in front of outsiders, although she rarely scolds the people below and is not harsh, but when she came in, the room immediately fell silent. Parsley, who was talking happily, also stuck out her tongue, and stood aside with her head down.
Ren Yaoqi thought about the topic that the maids were talking about just now, and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jinglin, Xiao Jinglin's expression was normal, and she didn't show displeasure. However, Ren Yaochi still sent the maids, including Parsley, out of the house. As she walked, Xiangqin glanced at Ren Yaoqi pitifully with her talking eyes, and almost wrote a few big words on her face, "I still have something to say, can I not leave?" It's a pity that Ren Yaochi ignored her.
When there were only two people left in the room, Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin, Ren Yaoqi mentioned the marriage of Yun Wenting and Zhao Yingqiu: "I heard that the Yun family is going to have a happy event again. ”
Xiao Jinglin's face was very calm: "This is the will of the Queen Mother, and it is good for the Yun family to obey the will at this time." ”
Ren Yaoqi thought about it when he heard this, and now the relationship between the Yanbei Royal Mansion and the imperial court and the Liao people is very delicate, and on the surface, it looks calm, but in fact, if he is not careful, he will completely tear his face apart.
If the war really starts, Yanbei may face the dilemma of having wolves in front and tigers in the back, and it is obvious that for now, Yanbei Wangfu wants to temporarily postpone this situation of frontal combat. Maybe it's because the time hasn't come or because of some other reason, looking at the Yanbei Palace's letting Yelu Sag enter the mansion before, I know the way, plus Xiao Jingyue's marriage with Yan Ningshuang......
The king of Yanbei accepted Yelu Sag and let the daughter of the Yan family enter the Xiao family, and the Yun family, which followed in the footsteps of the Yanbei Palace, may have taken it as a signal, so the Yun family also began to prepare for the wedding of Yun Wenting and Zhao Yingqiu.
Ren Yaochi said with a smile: "I always feel that Miss Zhao is not a simple person, Yanbei may not be peaceful for a long time in the future, and it is also a good choice to put her in the Yun family." ”
Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but look at Ren Yaoqi when she heard this, raised her eyebrows and said, "Even you think it's not a simple person...... I'm curious what did she do to make you so taboo about her? ”
Ren Yaoqi smiled when she heard this, shook her head and said, "It's because she doesn't seem to have done anything." I'm not at ease. ”
Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but understand in a blink of an eye, the Queen Mother sent people all the way to send them here, not necessarily because she really wanted them to "get along", it was not strange to make trouble, it was strange not to make trouble. But Zhao Yingqiu's performance was too good, and it didn't worry about it at all.
"It's not just Miss Zhao, the princess is also very calm these days." Ren Yaoqi said.
When Xiao Jinglin was at home, Yelu Sag was handed over to her to spy on her. Xiao Jinglin took away all her own people as soon as she left, and originally thought that Yelu Sag would not be able to sit still because of this, but she didn't want this princess of Liao to be very calm. has been standing still, all she thinks about is how to please the king of Yanbei, even Ren Yaochi can't help but wonder if this princess is really only coming to the king of Yanbei?
Hearing Ren Yaoqi mention Yelu Sag, Xiao Jinglin's face became a little delicate.
Ren Yaoqi saw it and asked with some curiosity, "What?" Did you find out that this princess has movements? ”
Xiao Jinglin shook her head and glanced at Ren Yaoqi: "That's not true, but I found out some of her connections with my father." ”
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but hesitate a little when she heard this, whether she should ask or not, although she was actually very curious in her heart, but it seemed a little inappropriate to inquire about her father-in-law's affairs, right?
However, Xiao Jinglin didn't care about this, and said: "I heard that my father once captured Yelu Sag three times on the battlefield, and let her go after the last time, and after she went back, she threatened to arrest my father and go back...... Cough...... Of course, she didn't want to catch my father, so when Da Liao sent someone to make peace, she automatically asked for her life. ”
Ren Yaoqi's face was also a little strange after hearing this.
King Yanbei may not kill Yelu Sag because he did not kill women, or it may be because he saw that she thought of her daughter who also went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but he didn't want to let this princess of Liao worry about it. However, even if Yelu Sage's admiration for King Yan was somewhat true, Ren Yaochi would not believe that she left her hometown and came here just to be a concubine for a man, because Ren Yaochi always felt that Yelu Sage and Xiao Jinglin's personalities were somewhat similar, and Xiao Jinglin would never do such a thing.
Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin were chatting, but Hongying walked in and reported in a low voice: "County Lord, General Min is here." ”
Xiao Jinglin frowned when she heard this: "Didn't he go to Wuzhou?" After thinking about it, he said clearly, "It must be that there is something in Wuzhou that requires him to come back and report to the second brother in person." ”
Hongying said: "General Min has already gone to see Gongzi, the general ......" Hongying glanced up at Xiao Jinglin, "The general asks to see you, the county lord." ”
Xiao Jinglin frowned and was silent for a while.
Although Ren Yaoqi did not interject on the side, his eyes remained on Xiao Jinglin. Seeing Xiao Jinglin's expression, Ren Yaochi couldn't help but be a little curious, I don't know how this General Min offended her county lord, and it seems that the offense is not light. Otherwise, Xiao Jinglin would not have this attitude towards her colleagues in the army who came to see her.
Xiao Jinglin thought for a while before she said expressionlessly: "I want to accompany my second sister-in-law today, you let him go back first, it's not the most important thing, wait for me to meet him in a few days." ”
Since Min Wenqing has already met Xiao Jingxi, the important military situation must have been reported, Xiao Jinglin can't think of any other reason why he wants to come to see her, Xiao Jinglin has never had a good impression of Min Wenqing, a person who is gentle and elegant on the surface but has a bad stomach.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jinglin, and asked with an ordinary expression: "For a while, you are outside with General Min?" ”
Xiao Jinglin nodded: "Well, there are some things that require the cooperation of the people in his hands." ”
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but think thoughtfully when he heard this.
Seeing that Hongying had retreated, Ren Yaochi was thinking that this General Min would not be sent away so easily.
Sure enough, they chatted a few more words, and Hongying came back soon.
"County Lord, General Min said that there is something important to discuss with you."
Xiao Jinglin's brows furrowed even tighter: "What's the matter?" Hasn't he seen the second brother? Xiao Jinglin doesn't think that Xiao Jingxi can't solve the problem, she can solve it.
Hongying blinked, and there was a smile on her face: "General Min said that he came to propose marriage to you for Vice President Zhou, and Vice General Zhou wanted to ask to marry Qiu Hong." ”
Xiao Jinglin was stunned when she heard this, as if she didn't expect Min Wenqing to find her for this. Qiu Hong is a female soldier under her, she has been following her for some years, and she is very important, and Deputy General Zhou is a young general next to Min Wenqing, because Min Wenqing has been acting with her a lot these days, so even her subordinates have frequent contact with Min Wenqing's subordinates. Xiao Jinglin thought about it carefully, her love would be as good as that young and old Vice General Zhou.
Although Lord Xiao is never in a hurry about his marriage, he is very concerned about his subordinates, and the harmony of yin and yang is not against the harmony of heaven, Lord Xiao understands.
So Xiao Jinglin thought about it, and said to Ren Yaoqi: "I'll deal with some things first, and I'll talk to you later." ”
Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jinglin twice, and said with a smile: "Well, you go and get busy with yours." ”
Xiao Jinglin felt that Ren Yaoqi's smile seemed to have another meaning, but she didn't ask much, and just left with the red tassel.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jinglin's back but shook his head with a smile, and couldn't help but think of the General Min he had met.
The Min family has a bad debt with the Xianwang Mansion, but Ren Yaoqi has no bad feelings towards Min Wenqing, although she doesn't like it, thinking of what she heard about this general Min's character, she doesn't think that Min Wenqing will be idle enough to come to Xiao Jinglin to propose marriage to his deputy general at this time.
I just don't know if the county lord of her family can see through Min Wenqing's little abacus.
Thinking of this, Ren Yaochi couldn't help but sigh again. Xiao Jinglin's wish is to be stationed at the border, Ren Yaochi hopes that she can live happily, but she doesn't want to see Xiao Jinglin die alone in that bitter cold place. If there is a like-minded person to accompany him, Ren Yaochi will be much more relieved.
When Xiao Jinglin went to the outer hall, Min Wenqing was sitting on the guest seat and drinking tea leisurely. (To be continued......)
