As soon as I stood here, I heard the voices of the maids outside asking the old lady and the old lady in unison.

Ren Yaoqi's erect back stiffened, and then he slowly inhaled and exhaled, forcing himself to relax.

The few gentlemen who were originally sitting in the east room immediately stood up from their seats, and the eldest lady who was placing the dishes by herself quickly put a plate of cold Fulu tofu in her hand to the southeast of the kang table, and hurriedly greeted the door of the carved moon cave.

Ren Yaoqi, like everyone in this room, leaned forward slightly and stood upright, his hands hanging down at his sides, and his eyes were half-closed.

The eldest lady only took three or four steps to greet her, and the old lady Ren and the old lady Ren walked in.

Old lady Ren is fifty-six this year, but she is tall and majestic, with strong spirits and eyes like torches. The old lady Ren standing beside him was a few years younger than him, with a round face, thin eyebrows, and although she was not young, there were dimples on each side of her cheeks, which made her seem to be smiling when she wasn't smiling, and she added a little kindness for no reason.

Ren Yaoqi watched the two of them walk in, sat on the kang on one side, lowered his head and followed everyone forward to kowtow to Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Ren.

She saluted and greeted her with a good step, listening to the voice of the old lady Ren above, which was as thick as the morning bell: "Get up." ”

Somehow, she remembered that when she left the Ren family in her previous life, it was this voice above her head that said in an unquestionable majestic tone: "Even if you leave the Ren family, you must always remember that you are a member of the Ren family, and remember that it is the Ren family that makes you grow up without worrying about food and clothing." Only if the Ren family stands tall, can you Ren family girls gain a firm foothold outside! ”

She didn't know if every woman who went out of the Ren family had to be taught by the old lady of the Ren family before going out, but she just wanted to sneer at the time, it was the first time she had heard someone say such a high-sounding tone of shameless words in a natural tone.

Old lady Ren seemed to have forgotten that she, the daughter of the Ren family, who was about to go out, was not going to get married.

Her life was completely ruined, and he could still calmly explain to her that she wanted her to play the most important role for the family.

Ren Yaoqi's right arm was lightly bumped, which made her quickly come back to her senses, and she turned her head to meet the slightly surprised face of the fourth young lady Ren Yaoyin.

It turned out that everyone had already stood up, but she was still kneeling there motionless.

Ren Yaoqi pretended to be a little weak and stood up, Ren Yaoyin reached out to help her: "Fifth sister, are you sick yet?" ”

Everyone's eyes were drawn, and the eldest lady hurriedly walked over and raised her hand to touch her forehead: "What's the matter?" Isn't it already good? ”

Ren Yaoqi quietly let go of the fist that was clenched tightly under his sleeves, and said in a low voice: "When I got up this morning, I took the last dose of medicine, presumably because of the effect of the medicine, and the disease is indeed cured." ”

Old Lady Ren said lightly: "What are you doing here since you are uncomfortable?" I'm missing one or two people here, can you please be okay? ”

The eldest lady was busy smiling and playing round: "The five girls are also filial, and they came over as soon as they recovered from their illness." ”

"Alright, let's all go back to dinner." Master Ren's hand was lightly tapped on the table, and the room immediately fell silent.

Old lady Ren waved her hand, and her eyes swept among the juniors: "Hua'er and Yin'er stay in my house to use, you all go down." ”

Everyone bowed down to retreat, Ren Yaoying pursed her lips and glanced at Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoyin, a little reluctant.

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter like a silver bell, and then the curtain was lifted, and a young woman in her twenties walked in with a reluctant little girl on her face.

The woman wore a fox fur jacket with a true purple embroidered hundred butterfly pattern brocade face, an apricot yellow pleated skirt, an ingots bun on her head, a ringing bell, a sweet and pleasant appearance, and a pair of dimples on her cheeks that resembled the old lady Ren.

"Yo, am I late today?" The woman looked at everyone in surprise, as if she was very surprised by her tardiness, and then immediately changed to a sweet smile: "Father and mother, please spare your daughter-in-law?" Your second elder also knows that your daughter-in-law is very active when she comes to ask for peace on weekdays, and she rarely comes late. The daughter-in-law kowtowed to your second elder. ”

As he spoke, he quickly pulled the little girl who was standing next to her and knelt down solemnly in the room, and kowtowed respectfully.

When she got up, Ren Yaoqi's juniors stepped forward to salute and called her, "Fifth aunt." ”

Old lady Ren glanced at her: "I thought that the rules in this house were going to be abolished, and one or two of them would be called sick and not coming, and I was about to discuss with the old man to exempt the rule of asking for peace in the morning and evening, so that it suits your wishes." ”

The fifth wife, Lin Shi, was not afraid when she heard this, but covered her mouth and smiled, looking very delicate: "Mother, what are you talking about?" Other people's daughters-in-law don't know what to do, if the daughter-in-law doesn't come to Ronghua Courtyard to serve your old man every day, she can't even eat fragrant food. The same is true for my Yu'er, isn't it? After speaking, she didn't forget to gently pull her daughter's sleeve.

Eighth Miss Ren Yaoyu looked seven or eight points similar to her mother, and when she heard this, she quickly raised her eyes and glanced at the old lady and nodded.

Old Lady Ren snorted softly, but her face was as usual, not ugly, obviously not really angry.

"Father, mother, and daughter-in-law serve you food."

Lin took off a pair of jade bracelets on his wrists, handed them to a maid standing on the side, and stepped forward to stand beside the old lady, picking up a pair of silver chopsticks to prepare cloth dishes.

Old Lady Ren glared at her: "Okay, what are you selling here?" Get in the way! I don't need you here, let your sister-in-law and nephew and daughter-in-law come. ”

Lin pursed his lips and smiled, but did not insist, handed back the silver chopsticks in his hand to the eldest lady, and said with a smile: "Mother dislikes me for being stupid, and my sister-in-law is always more pleasing to her old people than me." ”

The eldest lady smiled modestly and did not argue with her.

Old lady Ren looked at the Lin family, and then at Ren Yaoyu, who had been standing a little uneasy since she came in, and looked out of the south window from time to time.
