Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua took a carriage.

When I left the house, in addition to a few women who followed the car, there was also a middle-aged woman with eyes, who was dressed better than ordinary mothers-in-law, and her facial features were also very delicate.

Ren Yaohua glanced at her more: "Where are you on an errand?" Why haven't I seen you? ”

One of the women sent by the Ren family hurriedly smiled and said, "This is Yuan's sister-in-law, who is in charge of food in our Ren family's Xishan coal kiln." I came into the house today to take care of the house, and when I came out, I saw that a few young ladies were going out, so I wanted to say hello to the young ladies. ”

"Sister-in-law Yuan?" Ren Yaoqi paused, turned his head to look at the woman, and said with a smile: "Who are you in charge of Yuan in the outer courtyard?" ”

The woman bowed her head and replied, "It is the head of the slave and maid." ”

Ren Yaochi nodded and said to her, "Are you in charge of Xishan Coal Mine on weekdays?" ”

"Miss Hui Five, exactly."

"I'm most tired of riding in a carriage, and it's tedious and tight all the way. You can come up and tell me about the Xishan Coal Mine to relieve your boredom. Ren Yaoqi beckoned to her with a smile, and after finishing speaking, he remembered that he was going to share a car with Ren Yaohua, so he turned his head and smiled flatteringly, "Third sister, anyway, our carriage is very spacious, so it doesn't matter if there is one more person, right?" ”

Ren Yaohua glanced at Sister-in-law Yuan, and saw that her clothes were neat, and her hands and face were clean, so she didn't say anything.

Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "What is the third sister looking at?" Could it be that if you are in charge of the coal kiln, your body will be black? Hearing this, the mothers-in-law and maids around laughed.

Ren Yaohua glared at Ren Yaoqi, turned around and got into the carriage.

Ren Yaoqi gestured to Yuan's sister-in-law, and also followed Ren Yaohua into the carriage.

Sister-in-law Yuan carefully knelt with the two maids, she looked at Ren Yaohua, and then at Ren Yaoqi: "What does the fifth lady want to hear?" ”

Ren Yaoqi thought about it for a while, and only when the carriage started to move did he smile and said, "Sister-in-law Yuan can say whatever she wants, did you deliberately wait for me at the second gate just now?" ”

When Ren Yaohua heard this, she immediately looked over, and looked at Sister-in-law Yuan with some scrutiny.

"This ...... Slave ......"

Sister-in-law Yuan was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Ren Yaohua, although she was not on an errand in the Ren family's house. I have also heard of the temper of this third lady, and I heard that Miss Fifth and Miss Three came out together, and I heard that the two sisters were a little incompatible, and she was a little resigned.

Ren Yaoqi smiled at her and said, "It's okay, she is my third sister, you can say anything if you have something." ”

Ren Yaohua glanced at Ren Yaoqi when he heard this. Leave your head aside.

Sister-in-law Yuan said tentatively: "I don't know if Miss Lu Daowu still remembers the people of the Zhu family." I thought that if I saw something wrong with Miss Five's expression, I would quickly stop talking.

I didn't want Ren Yaoqi, but I nodded without hesitation: "Remember, Zhu Ruomei is working in your Xishan Coal Mine?" Has his mother been cured? ”

Sister-in-law Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and let go of her speech: "Thank you, Miss Five, I wish my sister-in-law good luck with the reward money you gave to see a doctor and catch medicine." With her daughter by her side, she is better than before. ”

It seems that the Yuan family also knows about the silver she gave to Zhu Ruomei.

"That's good. You came to me today, and the money for the Zhu family to see a doctor is not enough? ”

"No, no. No, enough money. It's just ......" Sister-in-law Yuan hesitated, not knowing whether she should open her mouth or not.

"Sister-in-law Yuan has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Ren Yaoqi said gently.

"It's the prescription prescribed by the doctor in the town to the Zhu family's sister-in-law is still a symptom but not a cure after all, Ruomei and my family Dayong heard that there is an old doctor in Yunyang City who is very good at diagnosing and treating Zhu's sister-in-law's illness, so Ruomei wants to take his mother to Yunyang City for medical treatment."

"Yunyang City, ah......" Ren Yaoqi tilted his head thoughtfully.

"Yes, that doctor is in Yunyang City. Dayong once went to him and told him about Zhu's sister-in-law's condition, and he said that he was sure that he could cure it. However, I need to go to the doctor every day, and I also need acupuncture. However, the doctor couldn't go back and forth between Baihe Town and Yunyang City every day, so Ruomei could only take his mother to Yunyang City for medical treatment. Ruomei has a younger sister who can take care of their mother. But the child was only ten years old and a girl, Ruomei didn't worry about them, and wanted to take care of them too. It's just that he used to raise money for his mother's medical treatment. He has signed a death deed in the mine, and he cannot leave the mine at will without the permission of the owner. ”

Ren Yaochi groaned: "Zhu Ruomei wants to leave the coal kiln? ”

"No, no, he didn't want to go" Sister-in-law Yuan waved her hand hurriedly. Miners who have signed a death contract with the master's family cannot leave at will, and life and death must be in the kiln. Those who dare to flee can be beaten to death with sticks if they are caught.

"He just wanted to cure his mother's illness first, and he would definitely come back later. However, it will take several months for him to leave, and the chief steward of the coal kiln is afraid that he will never return, and he will have to find someone to work for him, so he does not want to take this responsibility. We have no choice but to come to you. ”

"What can she do? Why don't you go and beg our grandmother and aunt? Ren Yaohua frowned and interrupted.

"The slave maid is just a small steward in the coal kiln outside, and the old lady and the eldest lady can see the slave and maid wherever they want." Sister-in-law Yuan said with a wry smile.

Ren Yaochi thought for a while and said to Yuan's sister-in-law: "That's it, you go back first, and come back to me in two days, and then tell the doorkeeper that you want to find ...... Look for parsley. Ren Yaochi pointed to the parsley who was waiting on the side, "I'll give you an answer when the time comes." ”

Ren Yaohua's eldest maid Xiangqin, who was named, glanced at her real master, and complained silently in her mind: Take one person's salary as a maid for two people, the job of a maid is really not easy to do.

Sister-in-law Yuan heard that Ren Yaoqi was really willing to help, and she responded with joy on her face: "Slave maid for sister-in-law of the Zhu family, Ruomei and Ruoju thank Miss Five." ”

Ren Yaochi looked at Sister-in-law Yuan's face with sincere joy, and said with a smile: "You are not related to them, but you are willing to run for them like this, and they should thank you well." ”

Sister-in-law Yuan sighed: "Both children are good children, obedient and sensible. Ruomei also helps me with my work on weekdays...... We also do our best, and we can help as much as we can. ”

The carriage stopped, and Yuan's sister-in-law saluted and retreated.

As soon as she left, Ren Yaohua glared at her and said, "Do you really want to care about these idle things?" ”

Ren Yaoqi thought about it for a while, and said to Ren Yaohua seriously: "Didn't you say that good people have good rewards?" I want to do something good for myself and my loved ones. ”

"Whatever you want, just don't make people happy when the time comes." Ren Yaohua was silent for a while, then turned his head and said.

Ren Yaoqi smiled silently.

The temple fair in Baihe Town is near the Guangong Temple in the west of the town, and when the carriage travels to the Guangong Temple, the entire street outside is brightly lit.

The streets are lined with all kinds of lights and small stalls.

Many young men and women walked in groups at the temple fair, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere. The Lantern Festival is a rare time when you can go out of the house without having to abide by the rules.

Several young ladies of the Ren family plus Han You also got out of the carriage, Ren Yaoting and Han You had already gotten together, pointing to the various small stalls on the street and talking.

Han You seemed to have never visited a temple fair, and he felt new when he saw everything, so he couldn't help but temporarily abandon his usual restraint and quietness, and his face was full of interest.

"Yaoting, I really want to thank you, if you hadn't gone to my house to beg my grandmother, I would definitely not have been able to come out. Ahh What a long lamp! ”

"Poof—that's juggling, fire-breathing snake, not a lamp! You haven't even seen this, have you? Ren Yaoyu said with a smile.

Han You blushed a little embarrassed, Ren Yaoting shook her hand, and said to Ren Yaoyu: "Do you think that everyone is like you, there are no rules at all, and you like to run around and go crazy on weekdays?" There are many people who have never seen jugglers! ”

Ren Yaoyu was a little unhappy when she heard this, but Han You still said: "Actually, I'm lonely, I really rarely go out, and I've never seen juggling." ”

Surrounded by their mother-in-law, several people walked to a place that sold horse lantern palace lanterns, and saw that Han You liked a horse lantern painted with the story of Chang'e running to the moon, so Ren Yaoting bought it and gave it to her.

Han You thanked Ren Yaoting, carefully looked at the lamp in his hand, and said to everyone with a smile: "I just think this story is interesting, but in fact, the painting skills are really not good." My brother drew much better. Speaking of this, she said to Ren Yaoting with some embarrassment, "I'm not saying that this lamp is bad, I'm just ......."

Ren Yaoting didn't mind at all and smiled: "I know that the person who painted this lamp is just a painter, how can he be ...... Compared with them? It's just a scene to watch the excitement. ”

Han You nodded, then turned to Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua and said, "Uncle Ren's painting is much better than my brother's, I once saw one in my brother's study. ”

Ren Yaochi remembered that Ren Shimin once gave Han Yunqian a painting of himself as a thank you gift, and couldn't help but smile and said: "My father likes to paint on weekdays. ”

Han You nodded: "I heard my brother say that my uncle has a lot of masterpieces that he painted by himself, and what he gave my brother is a picture of Qiu Ju......"

The smile on Ren Yaoqi's face suddenly stopped, and he looked at Han You in a daze: "What your father gave your brother was a 'Qiu Ju Picture'?" ”

Han You saw that Ren Yaoqi's expression was a little strange, and said puzzledly: "Yes, it's 'Qiu Ju Tu'." It is said that the painting depicts a chrysanthemum flower festival near the Yijiang River in Kyoto in the evening. The third uncle's color is very bold, and the entire Xunjiang River is rendered in red, but it is so natural and not obtrusive at all. ”

Ren Yaochi listened to Han You's words, but his heart gradually sank, and the smile on his face disappeared.

When Ren Yao is not smiling, it makes people look at an indescribable coldness.
