Chapter 357: Who didn't commit a few times when he was young
Zhou Wen also talked to her about his ambitions and promised to treat her well in the future.
Ren Yaoying learned from the conversation with Zhou Wen that although Zhou's father was only a small scribe in Yanbei Palace, and his ancestors had never been a big official, the Zhou family was a descendant of Yanbei Wangfu since Zhou Wen's great-grandfather, and he was very trusted by Yanbei Wangfu, and the Zhou family was also an old seniority in Yanbei Wangfu. Zhou Wen is a leader among the younger generation because of his intelligence, as long as he can be admitted to the lifting of people, the Yanbei Royal Mansion will inevitably reuse him in the future, as long as he does not make mistakes, the future will definitely be bright.
Ren Yaoying is just a teenage girl, if she is not at all tempted by such an affectionate Zhou Wen, it is impossible, He Kuan Zhou Wen looks good, and he talks funny. So at that time, in the face of Zhou Wen's heartfelt confession, Ren Yaoying was still shaken, and she also carefully considered the possibility of marrying Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen is very sure about marrying Ren Yaoying, Mrs. Zhou has a close relationship with Ren Yaoying's aunt and takes great care of her, Zhou Wen likes her, and Zhou Rong is simple-minded and obedient to her. If Zhou Wen can really earn fame at a young age, coupled with the Zhou family's qualifications in Yanbei Palace, the future will be good.
Thinking like this, Ren Yaoying felt that if she married Zhou Wen, it would be good.
But when Ren Yaoying returned to Ren's house with joy, she heard the broken mouths of several mothers-in-law sitting together to hide from the rain and eat melon seeds. Those mothers-in-law are talking about several major families in Yanbei, especially when it comes to the Lei family and the Lei family's head Lei Ting, now the Ren family knows that Miss Dao is going to marry the Lei family as the wife of the family, so when it comes to the scenery of the Lei family, it is all honorable, as if the scenery of the Lei family is the scenery of the Ren family, and it is very invisible.
Ren Yaoying paused when she listened, she stood silently under the verandah for a long time, stunned and motionless. After returning to her courtyard, when Ren Yaoying remembered what Zhou Wen had said to her before, her joy and complacency faded unconsciously.
An autumn rain seems to be prepared for this autumn festival. When the third master came back from the end of the invigilation, the sky was clear again, and it even suddenly became hot again.
I don't know if it's because the weather is too fickle this time, Ren San got sick on the day he came back, and he wasn't very sick, but he had some cough and nasal congestion. The third master of Ren does not like to take medicine, and the Li family only ordered the kitchen to stew pears with Chuanbei for the third master to eat, and even this, the third master of Ren was not happy to eat it, and every time Ren Yaoqi personally delivered it to him. Stared at him and ate it.
The third master Ren held his breath and dried a bowl of Sichuan scallop stewed pears with a mouthful, and the wrinkled face made Ren Yaoqi laugh, and after he finished eating, he quickly poked a candied fruit with a chisel.
Master Ren San glanced at it and said with disgust: "Don't eat it!" Give me tea to rinse your mouth! β
Ren Yaochi instructed the maid to bring the tea, and the candied fruit ate it herself.
After rinsing his mouth, the third master Ren said, "I'll go to the academy tomorrow." "Because the third master Ren was sick, he stayed at home for two days in a row, but after saying this, the third master Ren sneezed loudly. The tea bowl in his hand almost fell to the ground, and his snot flowed out, so he immediately threw the bowl in his hand on the table, took out a handkerchief and covered his nose. Very embarrassed.
Ren Yaoqi said: "Daddy, does he want students to see his appearance?" β
Imagining the appearance of sneezing and runny nose in front of the students, Master Ren immediately stopped talking.
He paused before saying: "There are a lot of people who are sick this time, and some people fainted in the examination room in the past few days, and they can only leave the exam halfway." "Speaking of which. Third Master Ren shook his head with some regret.
Although he himself doesn't value fame, he is finally a teacher, and it is not easy for students to study hard.
Ren Yaochi comforted: "There is still a chance for the next exam." β
Ren Shimin shook his head: "Brother Nanming thinks it's a pity. That's his protΓ©gΓ©. β
The Nan Ming in the mouth of Mr. Ren San is the word of Mr. Liu Xia of Yunyang Academy, Liu Xia is about the same age as Ren Shimin, and the two have similar temperaments, so they have become friends, and the relationship between Mrs. Liu and the Li family is also very good.
Ren Yaochi said with a smile: "Mr. Liu loves talents, and he has many proud disciples. β
Ren Shimin glared at Ren Yaoqi: "This is the one he is most proud of, and he said before that he would let him learn painting with me." But now it seems that this Zhou Gongzi is so weak and unbeatable, I'm afraid that he won't be able to suffer, so let's just leave it. "When Master Ren said that others were weak and incompetent, he obviously forgot that he was still sick.
Ren Yaochi raised his eyebrows: "Zhou? β
Ren Shimin nodded and said, "I've heard Brother Nan Ming mention it a few times before, it seems to be called Zhou Wen." After sitting in the examination room for half a day, I fainted, and I had to wait three years to take the exam again. β
Ren Yaoqi was stunned, Zhou Wen?
Thinking of Zhou Wen rushing to Baihe Town to meet Ren Yaoying in the rain the day before the exam, Ren Yaoqi was a little crying and laughing, and he really didn't know what to say.
Ren Yaoying also knew that Zhou Wen fainted in the examination room and was carried out, and Zhou Rong wrote to her.
Zhou Rong said in the letter that Zhou Wen had been ill for three days, and finally got rid of the fever, but because he couldn't stand the blow, he was a little decadent. Although Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were anxious, their hair turned white, they didn't dare to mention the matter of Qiuqiu, for fear that Zhou Wen would be hit when he heard it, and the Zhou family would be miserable these days.
Zhou Rong knew her brother's thoughts, so she wrote to Ren Yaoying and asked Ren Yaoying if she could find a way to go to her house once, even if she couldn't meet Zhou Wen directly, let Zhou Wen know that she went, maybe she would get better immediately.
Ren Yaoying replied to Zhou Rong and said perfunctorily, saying that she was confined by her grandmother because of the last time she went out, and she really couldn't leave.
Zhou Rong immediately replied to the letter, Zhou Wen has been smooth sailing since he was a child, and he has never encountered such a big blow, so he is a little sluggish, and the people of the Zhou family are very worried, Zhou Rong means that if Ren Yaoying can't go to Zhou's house, can you write a letter to Zhou Wen to comfort him.
After Ren Yaoying read the letter, she casually burned it with a fire fold, she didn't reply to Zhou Rong, and threw the jade plate that Zhou Wen gave her into the bottom drawer of the dresser.
The year is in the blink of an eye and it is September. Yanbei has always been cold early, and after the Double Ninth Festival, the day will get colder and colder day by day, so the September Ninth Double Ninth Festival is a lively festival in Yunyang City.
At this time of year, the streets and alleys of Yunyang City are full of flower farmers pushing wheelbarrows to sell chrysanthemum potted plants, and little daughters-in-law and old women who walk through the streets and alleys with baskets to buy dogwood bags. Large and small wine shops, tea houses, and restaurants began to sell chrysanthemum wine, five-color chrysanthemum cake, and various dishes with chrysanthemums as condiments. From the big families to the poor farmers, they all don't like to call friends and make an appointment to climb the heights.
On this year's Double Ninth Festival, Mrs. Xu discussed with the wives of Yunyang Academy and wanted to hold a larger climbing festival in the southern suburbs outside the city.
On this day, Li went to Mrs. Xu, and Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua were at home and a few big maids in the yard to select the materials for making chrysanthemum wine.
In the past few days, they have received a lot of chrysanthemum wine and five-color chrysanthemum cakes sent by other people's families, and it is a custom in Yanbei to give food to each other two days before the Double Ninth Festival. It's just that when returning the gift, the Li family is a little difficult, the five-color chrysanthemum cake can be made freshly, but the chrysanthemum wine needs to be brewed on September 9 of the previous year, and they did not prepare for the Double Ninth Festival of the previous year, and they only went to the restaurant to buy a few jars of chrysanthemum wine in bottles as a return gift.
Sending wine has the meaning of hoping that the relationship between the two families will be "long-lasting", and Li felt that his sincerity was not enough, so he instructed Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua to take the maids to brew a few jars of chrysanthemum wine, and wait until next year's Double Ninth Festival to give it away.
Ren Yaoqi was taking a few big girls to personally select the rehmannia for winemaking, angelica, wolfberry, and Xi'er ran in with a smile on her face and reported: "Third Miss, Fifth Miss, the Lei family sent someone to send wine, Mrs. and Mama Zhou are not at home, I don't know how to return the gift?" As she spoke, she glanced at Ren Yaohua with a smile.
Ren Yaoqi also glanced at Ren Yaohua, and said with a smile: "I didn't make wine at home last year, so I can only go back and buy some in the wine shop." β
Ren Yaohua frowned, then put down the small copper scale in his hand, got up and said, "I'll take a look." When he looked up, he met his sister's somewhat playful gaze.
Ren Yaohua glared at Ren Yaoqi, turned around and walked out.
Xiangqin squeezed her eyebrows and smiled at Ren Yaochi before she went out, and her funny appearance made Ren Yaochi feel a little miserable, so she could only hold back her laughter.
The Li family was not at home, Ren Yaohua personally went to deal with the Lei family's personal contacts, and Ren Yaoqi didn't follow her, and went with her. She has also seen it clear these days, Ren Yaohua has no rejection of this marriage, Ren Yaohua is satisfied with herself, and Ren Yaohua has nothing to say.
After a long time, Xi'er secretly ran back to report to Ren Yao, Ren Yaohua went to the kitchen and personally led people to steam two baskets of chrysanthemum cakes, and specially ordered someone to make an extra basket of chrysanthemum cakes in the shape of a rabbit for Lei Paner.
The etiquette of the Double Ninth Festival is not important, what is valued is nothing more than the heart, the Ren family does not have chrysanthemum wine, Ren Yaohua can only work hard from sincerity.
Ren Yaoqi listened but smiled silently, and then solemnly ordered a few bold maids not to pretend to this matter in front of Ren Yaohua. She was afraid that Ren Yaohua would be angry and angry, so she would be angry with her.
Just as he was talking and laughing, someone outside reported that Yanbei Wangfu had also sent wine and pastries.
Ren Yao also sent some wine and snacks to Yanbei Wangfu early in the morning, which was considered a courtesy, but he didn't expect that there would be a return gift.
And along with the wine and pastries, there was also a letter from Xiao Jinglin.
Ren Yaoqi took the letter and walked into the study before opening it and looking at it, and was stunned after looking at it twice.
Xiao Jinglin wrote about Ningxia.
