Chapter 370: One bite at a time, one step at a time

Xiao Jingxi did not wear a hood, and the fine snowflakes fell all over his black hair, which at first glance gave people the illusion of red face and white hair, but it made his handsome face more and more impossible to see.

"Why are you here?" Ren Yao waited for a long time to find a voice, and she couldn't help but glance at Hongying, who stood behind Xiao Jingxi with her head bowed expressionlessly, her expression was colder than usual, which made Ren Yaoqi a little strange.

"Can't I come?" Xiao Jingxi smiled and asked, I don't know if Lu Dao is Ren Yaoqi's illusion, Xiao Ergongzi still said this sentence with a little grievance.

"I thought it was Jing Lin......"

Xiao Jingxiwan'er also glanced at Hongying: "She is Nanxing, not Hongying." ”

Ren Yaoqi was very surprised when he heard this, and looked at "Hongying" a few more times: "Is it Hongying's sister?" It looks like it. "No wonder Ren Yaoqi feels that today's Hongying is more silent and cold than usual, in terms of appearance, the two almost look exactly the same, so she will admit her mistake.

Nanxing stepped forward and saluted again: "Slave Nanxing, I've seen Miss Ren San." This time, Nanxing's expression suddenly changed slightly, his facial expression suddenly softened a lot, and he even had a smile on his face.

Ren Yaochi couldn't help but be stunned, because there was almost no difference between this kind of Nanxing and the red tassel on weekdays, if Nanxing had been this expression just now, she would definitely not be able to see the slightest difference.

"See now?" Xiao Jingxi blinked slowly, looking innocent.

After Ren Yaochi reacted, he couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly, Xiao Jingxi meant that he didn't deliberately let Nanxing pretend to be Hongying to deceive Ren Yaoqi just now, although Nanxing really wanted to pretend to be Hongying, it was simply vivid, so Ren Yaoqi was clumsy and didn't recognize it.

Thinking about it carefully, Nanxing really didn't say that she was Hongying, and when she invited her, she said that the master was invited, not the county lord. Ren Yaoqi was a little annoyed, she drank some wine and was really a little drunk. I didn't even notice these details. However, because Hongying is Xiao Jinglin's person, she will relax her vigilance.

It's just that seeing Xiao Jingxi's current expression, she is a little itchy with hatred.

Xiao Jingxi saw Ren Yaoqi's expression glaring at him, and knew that Ren Yaoqi was angry, afraid that she would just turn her head and leave, so she stepped forward without moving, lowered her head and said in a low voice: "It's a little cold after standing for a long time, how about going for a walk in the forest?" ”

Although after slowly getting to know Xiao Jingxi, Ren Yao knew that he was probably trying to win sympathy by saying this, but when she saw the snowflakes falling on Xiao Jingxi's head, she still nodded.

Xiao Jingxi smiled. Suddenly, the "red and pink first stamens, Ruixue silver" full of forests could not match the brilliance he exuded at that moment.

Ren Yaochi lowered her head and thought silently, she seemed to understand the meaning of Xiao Jinglin's "red face and troubled water".

The two walked side by side towards Merlin, and Nanxing and the two maids followed from a distance.

Ren Yaoqi walked for a while and found that it was very quiet in Meilin, and there was no one else except them, presumably Xiao Jingxi had made arrangements before.

She turned her head and was about to speak, but found that Xiao Jingxi's gaze was on her face, and she didn't look away when she saw her. Her heart was pounding, and she felt that the little bit of alcohol before was getting more and more on her face.

"What if you're wet?" Ren Yaochi turned his head and said.

Xiao Jingxi may have waited for her for a while before, and her head was full of snowflakes, and Ren Yaoqi was not good to ask in front of the maids before. She was a little afraid that he would catch a cold.

Xiao Jingxi had a smile in his voice: "It's okay." Then I don't know how he moved, the snowflakes on his head fell all over the ocean at that moment, and his black hair really didn't have the slightest wetness.

Ren Yaochi was stunned, she looked at Xiao Jingxi, who was calm and relaxed, and didn't know what she remembered. Then suddenly laughed.

"Laughing at what?" Xiao Jingxi turned his head and said.

Ren Yaochi couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

She remembered that the words she had satirized Xiao Jingxi in her letter last time were softer than Xiao Jinglin's, and Xiao Jingxi was just implicitly flirting with her to prove that she was not as "weak" as she seemed on the surface? However, Ren Yaoqi knew that it was not easy to say this in front of Xiao Jingxi, and she still had to leave some for Xiao Jingxi in terms of face or something.

It's just that Xiao Jingxi saw Ren Yaochi with a teasing smile on his face, and he understood a little. Although it still looks casual on the surface, the roots of the ears are a little red.

"Why are you here?" Ren Yaoqi saw that he didn't speak, so he asked him again.

At this time, they had just turned a corner, and before Nanxing and the others could catch up, Xiao Jingxi stopped and spread his palms in front of Ren Yaoqi's eyes.

Ren Yaochi was a little surprised, looked down, but found that Xiao Jingxi's palm turned out to be a red bean, and looked at Xiao Jingxi's gentle gaze with a smile, Ren Yaoqi's face was also red, and he was about to take the red bean back from Xiao Jingxi's hand, but he stretched out his hand and was held by Xiao Jingxi.

Ren Yaoqi's hand moved, but he didn't pull it out, and he couldn't help glaring at him, a little embarrassed: "You ......"

Nanxing, who was about to follow the corner, moved his ears, glanced at the other two maids, and stopped walking.

Mulberry glanced at Nanxing, and subconsciously stopped, but Apple still wanted to follow, and then his arm was pulled by Nanxing. Apple looked at Nanxing inexplicably, and Nanxing also looked at her but didn't say anything, so the two of them stood there staring at each other.

"Where is the reason to take back the things that were sent away?" Xiao Jingxi took advantage of the cover of his sleeves to hold Ren Yaoqi's hand firmly in his hand, and said in a low voice.

The hot touch of the palm of his hand made half of Ren Yaoqi's arm hot, hotter than the other hand holding a small stove. She was about to break free, but Xiao Jingxi let go of her hand.

Ren Yaochi lowered his head and put his hand back, holding his stove tightly with both hands.

"I read the letter, and I came." Xiao Jingxi said in a low voice.

Ren Yaoqi: "......"

Xiao Jingxi was afraid that Ren Yaoqi would be annoyed and angry, so he bent the corners of his mouth and continued to walk forward. Ren Yaoqi also followed.

The two of them walked slowly in the merlin like this, and did not speak, only the "creaking" sound of their boots stepping on the snow around them, but they felt a sense of peace and tranquility in their hearts.

I don't know how long Lu Dao has been walking, Ren Yaoqi looked at the road and said in a low voice: "Let's go back." "She was afraid that she had been out for too long, and someone had come over there, although Xiao Jingxi must have sent someone to guard around, it was still not good to stay outside for too long.

Although Xiao Jingxi wanted to go on like this with her all the time, it was good that he couldn't reach the end, but he also understood what Ren Yaoqi was thinking, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

The two found another way to go back.

"I'm afraid things are almost the same in the south." Xiao Jingxi suddenly spoke.

Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and Xiao Jingxi was talking about the Ren family's industry in the south.

"It's really fast." Ren Yaochi sighed without any emotion.

The Ren family's industry in Jiangnan is almost half of the Ren family, but it was swallowed up in just a few months, no wonder Ren Yaoqi heard that the old lady Ren had been busy with her illness recently, and no one listened to it.

"Is it the hand of the Han family?" Ren Yaoqi remembered Han Yunqian's words last time and asked.

Xiao Jingxi bowed: "Hmm." After a pause, he added, "It's the hand of Han Jiajing." ”

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and teased: "You are becoming more and more handy at trading without capital." ”

Although he was despised, Xiao Jingxi was not annoyed, and glanced at Ren Yaoqi with a smile: "You allowed me this." ”

Ren Yaochi glanced at Xiao Jingxi obliquely, and didn't argue with him, compared to being thick-skinned, she was willing to bow down.

"I'm afraid there will be some turmoil in the Ren family next." Although Ren Yaoqi was not afraid, Xiao Jingxi still groaned and comforted, "But don't worry, your father will receive an official appointment from Yunyang Academy, and it will not be so easy for the Ren family to control your room." ”

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

There are many gentlemen who teach in Yunyang Academy, but not every one of them is formally appointed, because after being formally appointed, it is equivalent to having an official position, which is under the control of Yanbei Wangfu, and he is no longer the cultivation of Yunyang Academy, but the Yulu of Yanbei Wangfu, which is the difference between the white body and the official body.

If the third master of Ren receives the official appointment of the Yanbei Palace, it will really not be so easy for the Ren family to control the third room as before.

In this era, the clan's control over the clansmen is absolute, and the laws of the imperial court are not as binding as the patriarchal laws of the clans, especially in Jiangnan, where the patriarch of the big family is more useful than the parents and officials to say a word.

It's just that in Yanbei, due to some historical reasons, the clan's control over the clansmen in Yanbei is relatively weak, especially in Yanzhou, where Yanbei Wangfu is located, no family dares to argue with Yanbei Wangfu and the decrees issued by Yanbei Wangfu.

When Yanbei was just out of the control of the Liao people a few decades ago, there were also several families who relied on their deep roots in Yanbei and wanted to override the clan law above the law, but the old prince Xiao Qishan wiped out the whole clan without saying a word, and since then there has never been a "thorn" in the family of Yanbei.

If the third master of Ren has an official body, then he and the Yanbei Royal Mansion is the relationship between the monarch and the minister, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can not be both, the Ren family wants to cross the Yanbei Royal Mansion to control the third master of Ren It is absolutely impossible, relatively, the third master of Ren also has a certain degree of freedom in handling family affairs.

It's just that it is not easy to receive a formal appointment from the Yanbei Palace, and after being appointed, there is an official position of the seventh rank of the imperial court, so there has always been a limit in the number of people.

Generally speaking, it is necessary to have at least 10 years of teaching experience and have some academic achievements. Master Ren San is young, and he has just arrived at Yunyang Academy, and there are people who are older than him, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public.
