Along the way, the maids and daughters of the Lin family seemed to be a lot more cautious in their breathing, and their steps were as light as cats.

Ren Yaochi couldn't help but be surprised, could it be that something happened to the Lin family during her absence?

This question was answered after Ren Yaoqi went to Ren Shijia's courtyard and met Ren Shijia.

Ren Shijia was very happy for Ren Yaoqi to return home today, handed over the child to the maid, pulled Ren Yaoqi to sit on the kang and asked for warmth, Ren Yaoqi also handed over the gift list given by Rong's to Ren Shijia's grandmother.

"What's going on in the house?" Ren Yaochi asked softly.

Ren Shijia looked in a very good mood.

"Xianggong disposed of all those people yesterday."

Ren Yaochi was stunned: "Who are they?" ”

The smile on Ren Shijia's face was a little sarcastic: "What else?" Isn't it just those slaves who dare to harm my brother Cen Er? Xiang Gong found the medicine in a kitchen steward's room. also involved a few grandmothers and maids. Those people have now been beaten by the prime minister, and they are about to be sold. ”

Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised, did Lin Kun already plan to tear his face with the Lin family's big house?

At this moment, there was a noise outside, mixed with the cry of a woman.

Ren Shijia frowned slightly, and the expression on his face was a little complicated.

"Auntie, your uncle and slave, aunt, slave and maid are wronged...... the woman's voice became louder and louder, as if someone wanted to pull her away.

This aunt and grandmother made Ren Yaochi stunned, and couldn't help but look at Ren Shijia.

Ren Shijia sighed, and finally said, "Let her in." ”

After a while, a woman stumbled in and knelt in front of Ren Shijia with a pop: "Auntie, the slave is wronged......"

She raised her head with tears on her face When it was time, Ren Yaochi recognized her as the maid Qingliu that Mrs. Ren had prepared for her uncle.

Aoyagi's face was stained with dirty tears, and her hair was a little messy, but there were no injuries on her body. Seeing that her movements are also very neat, she should not have been hit by the board.

"Aoyagi, it's not that I don't believe you. It's just that the nurse's food did pass through your hands in those days, and some people saw that the steward in the kitchen had stuffed you with silver, and the maids who committed the crime also approached you. And they called you out when they confessed. Because you are the person my mother gave me, the Xianggong also showed mercy to your subordinates and did not let you be punished. It's just that I can't tolerate you anymore, so you better go back to my mother. ”

"Auntie, you also said that the slave maid is the person given to you by the old lady, and the slave maid and the maid family are in the hands of the old lady. How could a slave betray you? Slaves and maids are wronged. ”

Ren Shijia was a little hesitant when he heard this.

Aoyagi continued: "It must be those people who deliberately splashed dirty water on our Ren family in order to confuse their masters. Auntie, you have to be the master of the slaves. ”

Ren Yaochi couldn't help but look at this low-key, gentle and obedient maid on weekdays, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, her mouth was quite neat. also dared to pull the Ren family in.

Personal behavior rises to family behavior, to the point that it is really difficult to move her.

Ren Shijia sighed: "You go down first, don't make trouble." I'll talk to my husband about it. ”

Aoyagi refused to leave, and cried non-stop.

Chunlan, the big girl beside Ren Shijia, raised her face and taught her a few words, and finally let people drag her down.

Shi Jia sighed again: "Her mother's family." It was my mother who picked it out for me personally, and I really couldn't deal with her, so I could only send her back to my mother to send her. ”

At this time, someone outside reported that the eldest lady had come.

Ren Shijia frowned.

After a while, Mrs. Lin came in. The expression on his face was dignified and friendly.

"Yo, my aunt and nephew are whispering, am I bothered?" Mrs. Lin always makes people annoying when she speaks.

Ren Shijia brace herself to deal with her.

Mrs. Lin exchanged a few words with Ren Shijia. Then he smiled at Ren Yaoqi: "Good boy, I want to say a few thoughtful words to your aunt, can you make it convenient?" The tone was a little joking.

Ren Yaoqi got up: "Then I'll go back first." She had no intention of participating in the Lin family's struggle.

Ren Shijia originally wanted to keep Ren Yao. However, Mrs. Lin said so, and she couldn't say anything, remembering what Lin Kun told her before going out, she secretly cheered herself up.

Ren Yaochi came out of Ren Shijia's room and went back to his room, because he saw that there was no movement from Ren Yaoyin next door, Ren Yaochi couldn't help asking, "Where is my fourth sister?" Not in the house? ”

The answer was Xiangqin: "The slave maid has inquired, and the fourth lady is said to have gone to the Yun family." ”

Yao Qi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "She went alone?" ”

Xiangqin mysteriously lowered her voice: "I heard that she sent a letter to the eldest lady of the Yun family, and then the eldest lady of the Yun family asked her to come over to discuss the poems. ”

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, her fourth sister actually really has some skills.

"Didn't you just come home? Where did you get these inquiries? Ren Yaoqi asked while letting Apple wait for her to change her clothes.

Xiangqin smiled proudly: "The slave maid is the best maid around the young ladies, otherwise the third lady will not lend the slave maid to the fifth young lady." ”

Ren Yaoqi couldn't cry or laugh, and waved her hand to let her go.

Over there, Mrs. Lin and Ren Shijia didn't know what Lu Dao said, and when she went to Ren Shijia to eat at noon, Ren Shijia's face was a little bad, and Ren Yaoqi didn't ask much. After eating, I went back.

In the afternoon, Zhu Ruoju suddenly came and brought the news of Luo Pozi's sudden death.

When he heard the news, Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a long time.

"Wasn't it okay yesterday?"

Zhu Ruoju's eyes were a little red: "Originally, she was very good, but she looked very bad this morning, she was out of breath, and she couldn't even say a word." I went to ask the doctor to go back, and the doctor said that she didn't care about some small physical problems when she was old, and that after years of the worst problems, they accumulated into a lot of stubborn diseases, and said that she was depressed and had the will to die. The doctor said that he wanted us to prepare for the future, but as soon as the doctor left her back foot, she couldn't do it, my mother originally wanted to call Shui Ai back to give her a ride, but she didn't even see the back side. ”

Shui Ai Ren Yaoqi did not bring it back, but let her stay in the treasure bottle alley for the time being, and let Chu Chu teach her the rules. She is now in the Lin family, and it is not good to bring a maid back suddenly, and she will take her away when she returns to Baihe Town.

Ren Yaochi couldn't help but think. If she hadn't taken Luo Pozi from Zhuangzi at that time, would Luo Pozi have lived longer?

Ren Yao knew that he couldn't think about this kind of thing, otherwise he would easily fall into the magic barrier. So she told herself not to think about it.

asked Apple to take out thirty taels of silver to arrange for Zhu Ruoju to arrange the funeral of Luo Pozi, and also sent two grandmothers to help. Let people go to the treasure bottle alley to pick up Shui Ai back, and after Zhu Ruoju left, Ren Yaoqi lay down on the kang to read, and it was an afternoon when he saw it.

On the second day, shortly after Ren Yaoqi finished breakfast, Xiao Jinglin sent someone to pick her up.

Yanbei Royal Mansion is located in the middle of Yunyang City. Sit in the north and face south, there are four main gates in the east and west, north and south, plus eight auxiliary gates, covering an area of more than 500 acres, all the buildings are mostly distributed in the left, middle and right three axes, it looks very magnificent and majestic from afar.

Although the Yanbei Royal Palace is not as large as the Kyoto Imperial Palace, it was built in accordance with the regulations of the Imperial Palace, and it is also divided into a front hall and a back hall.

Ren Yaoqi entered in the carriage of Yanbei Wangfu, so the road was unimpeded. It was not easy to look at Ren Yao in the carriage, and when he got off the carriage, he glanced at it casually. Discover the place to go near the west axis of the palace.

The buildings of Yanbei Wangfu rarely use gold bricks, white marble, and glaze, and most of them use large bluestone. The colors are very dull. It is not beautiful, but it reveals domineering and vicissitudes everywhere.

Xiao Jinglin's residence is located in the Yanju Courtyard in the west of the palace, the name is very beautiful, but the courtyard is nothing special. However, the courtyard is very large, and there are no flowers and plants, only two old plane trees.

When Ren Yao went in. Xiao Jinglin was waiting for her in the courtyard, still holding a spear in her hand. Her face was calm, there was no sweat on her face, and Ren Yaochi didn't know if she had finished practicing the gun or was about to practice.

Seeing Ren Yaoqi coming, Xiao Jinglin's eyes flashed, and then to everyone's surprise, she lifted the gun in her hand, and suddenly came towards Ren Yaoqi, and the head of the gun pointed directly at Ren Yaoqi's façade.

The maid apple who was walking beside Ren Yaoqi was startled, and exclaimed that she was about to block in front of Ren Yaoqi, but she was dodged and pushed by Xiao Jinglin, and pushed the person several steps away with skill, and then the spear continued to come towards Ren Yaoqi.

During this process, Ren Yaochi kept looking at Xiao Jinglin with a smile until the tip of the gun stopped against the tip of her nose, and Ren Yaochi didn't even blink an eyelid.

Xiao Jinglin hadn't taken the gun away, but the person laughed first: "Good guts." ”

Ren Yaochi shook his head and watched Xiao Jinglin move the gun head away: "I was startled at first, but I knew that I couldn't dodge, so I simply didn't dodge." ”

Xiao Jinglin threw the gun to her maid, glanced at the apple again, and praised it rarely: "The maid is good, but the person is a little stupid." "That's definitely a good word.

Apple wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, saluted Xiao Jinglin, and retreated behind Ren Yaoqi.

"I'll take you to my mother." Xiao Jinglin took Ren Yaoqi's hand and was about to go out.

"Jing Lin, don't you change your clothes?" Ren Yaochi looked at her men's clothes that were convenient for practicing martial arts.

Xiao Jinglin looked at herself, thought about it, and pulled Ren Yaoqi to turn her head and go to her room: "Then let's change my body." This tone is really reluctant.

Xiao Jinglin's boudoir is completely indistinguishable that this is a woman's boudoir except for the plaque of "Shude Shunhe" hanging in it. The furnishings are outrageously austere.

Xiao Jinglin quickly changed her clothes, and then pulled Ren Yaoqi away: "The gentleman who teaches the qin is at my mother's place, didn't you bring the qin?" Xiao Jinglin saw that Ren Yaoqi's maid was empty-handed.

Ren Yaochi shook his head: "My piano is at home, it's okay, I'll watch you practice." ”

Xiao Jinglin frowned: "Then how can it be done, Hongying quickly go find a piano and go to the second brother, he must have it." ”

The place where the princess lives is not too far from the Yanju Courtyard, located in the Jiuyang Hall on the central axis of the palace, which is the residence of the princes and concubines of the Yanbei Palace. It is still not very close to the beauty, but there are a lot of trees in the hall, reflecting the dark bluestone turn, there is a different kind of simple and elegant.

Princess Yanbei was sitting in the hall talking to people, and Xiao Jinglin let go of Ren Yaoqi's hand before entering, so as not to let people see them pulling and pulling.

Princess Yanbei is very beautiful, when Ren Yaoqi saw Yun Qiuchen for the first time, she felt that the eldest lady of the Yun family was really beautiful, but compared to her aunt Princess Yanbei, Yun Qiuchen was still a little worse. Xiao Jingxi and Princess Yanbei are a little similar.

Ren Yaoqi stepped forward to greet Princess Yanbei, who smiled gently and asked her to get up.

"Is this the fifth lady of the Ren family? I often hear Jing Lin mention you. ”

Xiao Jinglin seemed to have restrained her temperament in front of Princess Yanbei, and her voice was a few degrees lower: "I asked Yao Qi to accompany me to practice the piano." ”

The princess nodded, pointed to the middle-aged woman she had spoken before, and said, "Then you should learn from Mr. Zou." ”

At this time, a mother-in-law came in to report that the old princess had asked the princess to come over and talk. The princess explained a few words to Xiao Jinglin, and then went in to change clothes and go out.

The princess said that Mr. Zou is a pianist, with a very ordinary appearance and a little fat, but her reputation is very loud. Ren Yaoqi had also heard of this person.

"County Lord, Miss Ren, let's get started." Mr. Zou is mellow in life, but his speech is straightforward, no wonder Xiao Jinglin thinks she is boring.

Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi followed Mr. Zou to the side hall, and there were two pianos on the low table in the room.

Xiao Jinglin asked people to move a few more cases, and the three of them sat around into a "concave" character, but Hongying, who went to borrow the piano later, also came back, and really held a piano in her hand, and then carefully placed it on Ren Yaoqi's desk.

"Huh? Why did you bring the second brother's 'Great Sage's Last Words'? Xiao Jinglin was surprised.

Hongying said: "The second son let me take it." ”

Xiao Jinglin looked at the qin, blinked slowly, and then said nothing.

Ren Yao had learned the piano, so he naturally knew the "Great Sage's Legacy", and couldn't help but take a few more looks. I thought about whether it was a little inappropriate for me to borrow this valuable famous piano to accompany Xiao Jinglin to practice, but when I raised my eyes and saw that Xiao Jinglin and Mr. Zou were seriously playing with the strings, I swallowed the words of resignation.

Mr. Zou first explained a technique in detail, and then let the two of them practice.

I have to say that Xiao Jinglin's piano sound is really ...... Particularly.

Just like the effect that she can play the tone of the quiet and beautiful "Pingsha Falling Geese" into the pipa song "Ambush on All Sides", the murderous spirit is so strong that people can't resist it, and Ren Yaoqi's fingers can't help but slip a little.

At the end, Mr. Zou praised very calmly: "Very good, I only got eight notes wrong today." ”

Xiao Jinglin raised her head and smiled at Ren Yaoqi, with a faintly smug look.

Ren Yaoqi: "......"

Ren Yaoqi felt that Xiao Jinglin had said that this gentleman was very strict, and he definitely misunderstood others.
