Chapter 167: Move
Xiao Jinglin looked at Xiao Jingxi for a while, pursed her lips, and then looked away.
The smile on Xiao Jingxi's face deepened.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jingxi, and let him look at Xiao Jinglin again. Although she felt a little weird, she still followed Xiao Jingxi's words and said, "So next time, you have to wait until the time of the golden banquet?" ”
Xiao Jinglin sighed, thought about it, looked up and said, "No, my brother will help me." I can come out today because he helped me. ”
Then, Lord Xiao looked at her brother seriously, and said seriously and faithfully: "Isn't that so, brother?" ”
Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but wonder: "Of course." Lin'er has always been well-behaved and obedient, so naturally I will not refuse such a small request. ”
The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, and the meaning of the smile was only understood by the two of them.
Ren Yaoqi felt sensitively that the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.
She looked back and forth at the brother and sister a few times, and finally decided very sensibly to pretend that she had not found anything, because she felt that the so-called sabre-rattling in front of her had some childishness that made people speechless.
Fortunately, this atmosphere did not last long, and under Ren Yaoqi's deliberate adjustment, the three of them sat together drinking tea and chatting.
But basically, Ren Yaochi and Xiao Jingxi talked, or Ren Yaochi talked to Xiao Jinglin.
Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi discussed chess and calligraphy and painting, and Xiao Jinglin discussed Kyoto's famous dishes and dim sum. After chatting like this, the atmosphere was harmonious.
"How did you come up with the idea of practicing left-handed characters?" Xiao Jingxi asked.
Ren Yaochi thought about it, in fact, it was purely fun to practice left-handed characters at the beginning, and her father collected a pair of left-handed calligraphy masters Gao Fengxiang's words, and praised her, so she started to practice. However, after she arrived in Kyoto, she accidentally injured her right hand and could only write with her left hand. Later, after I got better, I also practiced a few strokes whenever I had time.
"My father likes Gao Fengxiang's words." Ren Yaochi replied vaguely.
Xiao Jingxi nodded. No further questions were asked.
Dongsheng returned nearly an hour later.
"The little one has already delivered the letter to the head of the Lei family."
Xiao Jingxi's gaze turned over him, and then asked, "Did he find out?" ”
This time Thunder was very alert, and when the little one threw the letter to him, he immediately chased after him. The little one took him around the alleys of the city a few times before throwing them away. Rest assured, master, he didn't see the small one. ”
Dong Sheng said very confidently, although his kung fu is not very good, and he may not even be as good as Thunder, but when it comes to the ability to escape, few people can catch up with him.
Xiao Jingxi nodded and asked him to retreat.
The matter came to an end, and Ren Yaoqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Sit for a while. Ren Yaochi was about to leave.
Xiao Jinglin said suddenly: "Yao Period, do you know how to play the piano?" ”
Ren Yaochi was stunned: "There will be some." ”
"Can you play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"
After thinking about it, Ren Yaochi nodded. It's not that she doesn't want to be modest, she does know all of these, and she is still proficient, and she deserves a "will".
Xiao Jinglin immediately said: "Okay, you can come to the palace to teach me in the future." ”
After a pause, she said, "My mother hired me as a violinist." I could understand every word she said, but unfortunately I didn't understand it very well when we put it together. ”
Xiao Jinglin is inevitably a little impetuous when she talks about this, she is very flexible in holding knives and guns, but those elegant things are really not good.
See her depressed. Xiao Jingxi, who mentioned this matter before, also comforted: "You just spend less time on this, and the last time I heard you play a song, it was still ...... Cough...... It's not without a little talent. ”
Xiao Jinglin frowned: "How can I have so much time to waste on this kind of woman's affairs." ”
Xiao Jingxi: "......"
Second Young Master Xiao is very unfortunate to be proficient in these "women's things". And these are also things that the sons of the family must know, and not only women need to learn.
But Xiao Jinglin added again with a blank face: "I also heard my mother and Mama Xin complaining." How nice it would be for sons and daughters to fall apart! ”
"Ahem......" Ren Yaoqi suddenly choked on drinking water, she put down the tea bowl and took out a handkerchief.
Ren Yaochi didn't dare to look up, she was afraid that she would laugh out loud and be seen by Xiao Jingxi. I don't know why. She felt that Xiao Jinglin did it on purpose.
It was not only Ren Yaoqi who felt this way, Xiao Jingxi glanced at Xiao Jinglin for a long time, and then very sensibly lowered his head to drink tea as if he didn't hear anything.
However, his noncommittal attitude made Xiao Jinglin pause, and then quickly followed his instinct and added expressionlessly: "I also think that Xiao Jingkang, as the prince of our Yanbei Palace, is obsessed with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting all day long, and even riding and shooting are wasted in the end, which is very undeserved!" ”
Ren Yaoqi: "......"
Xiao Jingxi glanced at Xiao Jinglin with a smile.
Xiao Jinglin turned her head and continued to talk to Ren Yaoqi: "Can you have time to teach me?" Xiao Jinglin felt that she could get along with Ren Yaoqi, and if she had learned from her, then it might not be so boring to learn the things she hated.
Ren Yaoqi actually didn't have anything to do in Yunyang City, but she didn't respond immediately. The person who can be invited by the Yanbei Mansion to teach the county lord is definitely not an ordinary person, if Xiao Jinglin resigns someone else and replaces her, it will inevitably leave an impression of frivolity.
Xiao Jingxi said at the right time: "In my opinion, it is better for that violinist to stay." After all, Miss Ren can't have free time every day, if she can go one day, she might as well learn from the pianist with you. That pianist may be old-fashioned, but she has her own uniqueness in piano skills. There is no first, there is no second, in fact, the skills are also the same as the text, and appropriate exchanges can make the skills more sophisticated. ”
Ren Yaochi also agreed with this, and couldn't help nodding and said, "What Xiao Gongzi said is good. ”
So it was decided, and Xiao Jinglin sent someone to pick her up when Ren Yao had free time. However, Ren Yaochi said frankly that he was going to visit his grandfather tomorrow and couldn't go over.
Seeing that it was not too early, Ren Yaochi finally got up and went home.
*********
Thunder stood in a small alley, looked around carefully, and finally had to admit that he had lost people.
When he chased him out, he was still wearing filial piety clothes, and it was inevitable that passers-by would look at him for a moment or two, but fortunately, the person had been walking in a narrow alley just now, and he didn't meet too many people along the way.
Lei Zhen took out the thing that the man threw at him, his eyes were unpredictable, it was a folded piece of paper, and it appeared in front of him in the same way as the last time. In the same way, he didn't know who the person who delivered the letter to him twice was and what his purpose was.
After a moment of silence, Lei Zhen calmly unfolded the letter in his hand. Sure enough, it was the handwriting of the man last time.
Just looking at it, Lei Zhen's face changed. After reading it, he still stood still.
The young head of the Lei family was in a complicated mood at the moment, surprised, confused, and even a little wary.
In the middle of the ring, he finally put away the letter in his hand, folded it and put it in his sleeve, and then walked back without looking back.
didn't go far, Liu Gui came over with a few nursing homes.
Thunder stopped Liu Guidi and sent him away.
On the way back, Thunder didn't speak until he was about to reach the door of the house.
"Tell me to go down and prepare for the funeral early tomorrow morning." Although Lei Ting was still calm when he said this, Liu Gui felt as if he was squeezing out of his teeth.
However, he was more shocked: "Master, if you are buried tomorrow, won't the coffin only be stopped for three days?" Isn't that right? …… Moreover, the people of the Liu family should be able to arrive tomorrow afternoon, and if they are buried in the morning, I am afraid that it will cause more rumors. ”
What Liu Gui didn't say was that now there was a commotion outside, some people said that Mrs. Lei had committed suicide by doing something wrong, and some people said that Mrs. Lei had been killed. It's clear that someone is behind it.
Therefore, even if Lei Ting is very disgusted with the Liu family who came in and forced Mrs. Lei to commit suicide, he still plans to wait for the Liu family to come before being buried, which is also what Mrs. Lei has explained.
If the Lei family was in such a hurry to bury Mrs. Lei before the Liu family, then the rumors outside would be even more difficult to stop. The Lei family can lose everything, but they can't lose face, because if they lose face, then there will be nothing left.
Lei Ting narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I know how to do what I say!" ”
Although he didn't know what the purpose of the person who delivered the letter to him was, he had no choice.
He remembered his grandmother's stubborn and crazy eyes before she died, and the old man, who had been stubborn and tough all his life, grabbed his hand tightly and said word by word: "The Lei family, it can't be destroyed in our hands!" No, not even death. ”
Seeing that Lei Ting insisted, Liu Gui still bowed his head and responded, but asked, "What if someone obstructs it?" ”
The more they try to settle things, the more people won't let them do it.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Lei Ting's mouth: "I'm afraid they won't come." ”
"Master?" No matter how calm Liu Gui was, he was still a little surprised.
Lei Ting closed his eyes, and the tiredness on his face could no longer be hidden: "It's not really tomorrow's funeral, but let them believe that we went to the funeral early in order to cover up the so-called truth." It's just that because of my incompetence, I want to make my grandmother and her old family suffer again, and I can't even die at peace. ”
Liu Gui shook his head and said, "Master, you should understand Mrs. Tai." As long as the Lei family can be saved, Mrs. Tai will not care about these. ”
"yes, she doesn't care. But as a child and grandchild, you can't care? After all, I'm incompetent. Thunder's voice was hoarse.
He was able to agree with the plan in the letter because he knew his grandmother. In her mind, nothing is more important than their group being able to regain the glory of their ancestors. She believes that anything can be sacrificed for this purpose.
On the second day, Mrs. Lei's sudden burial caused a lot of turmoil in Yunyang City.
Although the Lei family has deliberately kept a low profile, it has attracted the attention of many people.
The head of the Lei family explained that it was because his grandmother dreamed at night, so he asked the monk to calculate a hexagram, and came to the conclusion that it was better to stop the coffin for three days than for seven days.
