Originally, it was expected that the ten ladies selected by the Queen Mother would not arrive in Yunyang City until at least late April, and they did not want to receive an invitation to the Yun family's daughter's banquet in less than two months during the Ren Yao period, and several ladies had already arrived in Cangzhou.

Cangzhou is adjacent to Yingzhou in the north of Yan, and ships that come north to Yan by water generally choose to go ashore in Cangzhou for supplies, or choose to go north by land or continue by water.

The ladies are all pampered, and they can't stand the water bumps anymore, and they don't want to take a boat anymore, so they take the land route from Cangzhou to Yunyang City in Yanzhou.

At this time, it was only the middle of April, and no matter how slow Cangzhou walked to Yunyang City, it was only two or three days' journey, and it was expected that the ladies of Kyoto would arrive by April 18 at the latest.

Yanbei has been getting warmer day by day since the Qingming Festival, and even Ren Yao, who has always been afraid of the cold, went to winter clothes and wore spring clothes, but the wind outside is not small, so when you go out, you will add a slightly thicker cloak.

On April 17, Ren Yaoqi was in Li's room, embroidering her red hijab with stitches and threads under the noses of Li and Mama Zhou, but she heard a few younger second- and third-class maids chattering in a whisper under the eaves of the verandah outside.

The big girl glanced at Mama Zhou and quietly walked out. Que'er's temperament is much softer than Xi'er, and she takes better care of the maids below who are younger than her, for fear that they will make trouble outside and annoy Mama Zhou to be punished, so she wants to go out and remind those little maids.

After a while, Que'er came back with Xi'er.

"Madam, miss, I heard that the ladies from the capital have arrived outside the city, and many people have flocked to the city gate to see the excitement, and now the people outside are talking about it." Que'er said as soon as she entered the door.

Xi'er also said: "The slave maid just asked people to go outside to inquire, those young ladies can really enter the city today, and the Yanbei Royal Mansion specially arranged a large courtyard not far from the palace to house them." ”

Mama Zhou is very disgusted with some people related to Empress Dowager Yan. Hearing this, he said coldly: "Tell the people under me to stay in the mansion well, if anyone runs out of the house in private to see the excitement, be careful of my board!" ”

I don't want Xi'er and Que'er to hear this, but they glanced at each other, looking like they had something to say but didn't know whether to say it or not.

Mama Zhou frowned: "What?" Could it be that someone has already run away? ”

Que'er hesitated and said, "The mother-in-law and maids below haven't, but the young master seems to have gone to ......."

Mama Zhou was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but look at Li. The young master in Que'er's mouth refers to Ren Shimin's concubine Ren Yihong, and the maids and mothers-in-law Zhou can teach a lesson, but Ren Yihong can't take care of Zhou Mama.

Ren Yaoqi was surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but look up and said, "Sixth brother went to the city gate to see the excitement?" "Ren Yihong has always been dedicated to reading only the books of sages. He doesn't hear anything outside the window, and his temperament is not frivolous, which lady will avoid it from a distance when he meets a young lady on weekdays, and he will run to the city gate to see the girl?

Li Shi also said suspiciously: "Yihong also went?" Hasn't he always disliked the excitement? ”

Xi'er said: "The young master didn't go by himself, it was his classmates from Yunyang Academy who came to look for him to go with him, and Young Master Meng is also there." But I heard that they didn't go for those daughters, this time there were several court officials who came with the ladies of Kyoto, and one of them was very admired by those talented scholars, and they went to greet Master Pei together. ”

Ren Yaoqi was still holding an embroidery needle in his hand. Hearing Xi'er's words, her heart skipped and her hand shook, and the embroidery needle pierced her fingers, so frightened that she hurriedly took her hand away, so as not to stain the unfinished hijab with blood.

Li was staring at her embroidery. Seeing this, he hurriedly said, "Why are you so careless?" Come and show me your hands. ”

Ren Yaoqi asked Xi'er to come over and pack up the embroidered basket and take it away, looked at his finger and said to Li: "It's okay, it's just a little bit of skin, and the blood hasn't flowed." ”

Li took her hand and looked at it. Maybe it's because the embroidery needle is too thin, the piercing is not deep, and there is really no blood. couldn't help but feel relieved, and couldn't help but softly reproach Ren Yaoqi and said: "Look at you, such a big person, you can't even hold the embroidery needle steadily, you were not happy to let you come to my room to embroider before." ”

Ren Yaochi hurriedly admitted his mistake with a correct attitude, the Li family is not as dull as when he was in the Ren family's old mansion now, and he talks more, but he also likes to nag with his daughter, Ren Yaochi doesn't know whether this situation is good or bad, anyway, she will have a big head when she hears Li read it.

When Li finally stopped reading, Ren Yaochi asked Xi'er, "Which Master Pei is from Kyoto?" ”

Xi'er didn't know much about the officials of the southern court, so she thought about it before she said: "The slave doesn't know either, but I heard the young master's little servant say that this Master Pei is quite big, and he is the emperor's husband." ”

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard this, could it really be that Mr. was here?

In the previous life, Pei Zhiyan did come to Yanbei, but I don't know when he came to Ren Yao. But it is definitely not different from the reason for coming back this time, because the queen mother of the previous generation did not send anyone to attend the golden banquet at all.

Pei Zhiyan is a very important person to Ren Yaoqi.

In the previous life, Ren Yao was nominally his concubine, although the two were not husband and wife, but they had been together for many years and had a deep relationship. She had no plans to get married, and originally thought that she would stay with him for the rest of her years. It's just that one day she was sick, and when she woke up again in a groggy state, she went back to when she was ten years old, and all the things in her previous life were like a dream.

Seeing that Ren Yaoqi was absent-minded, Li thought she was tired, so he asked her to go back to rest first and come back when it was time for lunch.

Ren Yaoqi really had something in his heart, and when he heard the words, he retreated.

After returning to the West Chamber, Ren Yaoqi thought about it, and still sent Apple to find Yuan Dayong to inquire about the news outside.

Ren Yao got married in September, she set the wedding date of Apple and Yuan Dayong in June, and when she got married, Yuan Dayong and Apple went to Yanbei Wangfu with her as her companion. For this arrangement, the Yuan family is naturally a thousand willing, and I have to say that Yuan's sister-in-law's vision is really good.

She also responded to Sydney and Zhu Ruomei's family affairs, and as for the wedding date, she let the people of the Zhu family set it herself. Zhu Ruomei has now been promoted to lieutenant, although the official position is not big, but he is also a serious military general, and Sydney's identity when she marries him is naturally different. At this time, Sydney knew why Ren Yao would let her marry a year later, and she couldn't help but feel more and more grateful. Finally, Sydney and Zhu Ruomei's wedding date is also set for June.

A few big girls around Ren Yaoqi, the newly promoted Pingxia and Qianlan are still young and in no hurry to get married, and Mulberry is only fifteen years old and can stay for two years. If Apple hadn't been taken by the Yuan family early in the morning, Ren Yaoqi would have been reluctant to let her marry early.

On this day, Yunyang City was very lively. The people of Yunyang City were very curious about the ladies who came all the way to Yanbei to participate in the golden banquet, although these ladies stayed in the carriage when they entered the city so that they could not see the beauty, but they still gathered at the city gate to see the excitement.

However, there are a lot of guards in Yunyang City, especially at a time like today, the guards who were sent out to be on duty are even more conscientious, so although the lively crowd can be regarded as a sea of people, nothing has gone wrong. However, it is said that a few of those ladies were frightened by the hospitality of Yanbei people, and they were sick because of the fatigue of the cars and horses along the way.

It was lively outside, but the Ren family in Yunyang City was as usual, because Mama Zhou had orders early in the morning, and no one dared to sneak out of the city to see the excitement, and they were all very peaceful.

When it was almost evening, Yuan Dayong had not yet delivered the news, but Ren Yihong came back first.

When Ren Yihong came to see Ren Shimin in the inner courtyard, Ren Yaoqi also went to the main room.

When Ren Yao's period passed, Ren Yihong was talking to Ren Shimin about today's events.

“…… There were too many people, and my son almost got separated from a few classmates, but unfortunately I still didn't see Mr. Pei. When Ren Yihong said this, his tone was still a little depressed.

Ren Yaochi interjected: "Which Mr. Pei?" ”

Ren Yihong looked up at Ren Yaoqi, called the second sister, and then replied: "It's Pei Zhiyan Master Pei, I heard a while ago that he was demoted for some reason, and this time he asked Ying to accompany those young ladies to Yanbei." Many people in the academy have read the book "Hanmo Note" written by him and admired him very much, so when they heard that he had come to Yunyang City, they wanted to see him. ”

Pei Zhiyan's "Hanmo Note" Ren Yao period is naturally knowledgeable. Hanmo is Mr. Pei's word, Mr. Pei has been reading 10,000 volumes before the top exam, when he likes to read a book on the next some experience and annotations, over the years of accumulation has become more than a dozen volumes, these books were originally only a few of his friends borrowed to see, and then after he became the emperor, these books somehow spread out, become the "Hanmo Note" in the mouth of the reader, even the scholars of Yanbei have come to read.

It turned out that Mr. Pei was really here.

Even though Ren Yao had been mentally prepared before, when he heard Ren Yihong say this, his mood was still a little up and down.

Ren Shimin also knew Pei Zhiyan, he said: "I heard that Mr. Pei has a very good relationship with Xu Shanchang, and when he comes, he will definitely go to Yunyang Academy, you are not without a chance to see him, why be in such a hurry." ”

"Didn't Mr. Come, arrive today?" Ren Yaochi heard Ren Shimin say this, and couldn't help asking.

Ren Yihong shook his head: "I heard that there was an official on the road who was sick, and after leaving the boat and going ashore, Mr. Pei proposed to go separately from these ladies, and he stayed to take care of the sick adult, so it was probably a few days later to arrive in Yunyang City."
