"Wanhuaju", the eldest lady of the Ren family vented the resentment in her heart, her expression had eased, and she said lightly: "Zheng Pen'er, I also know that Lord Yanghu is in a high position and is busy with official business, so it is difficult for a strong man to make such a request. But this time I went to Lu, I was under the banner of going to Qi to worship my ancestors, and I must not delay too long in Qicheng, otherwise it will ...... once the news is leaked. ”

Zheng Pen hurriedly smiled and said, "Zheng Pen understands. Lord Yanghu also felt very sorry for not being able to come as promised, although this place was not very far from the capital, but the eldest lady naturally understood that the affairs of the court were enough to move the world. ”

Ren Ruoxi smiled slightly, and said: "I understand, I hope Lord Yanghu can also understand the difficulties of Ruoxi, and those who Lord Yanghu is worried about are just the future." If you regret the worries, your family name is your life! How can the two speak the same thing? In this way, I will wait for another three days, and if Lord Yanghu does not arrive within three days, I will set off for Qi, and I will have to postpone what I will do. ”

Saying that Ren Ruoxi stretched his sleeves and stood up, he turned his head slightly, but saw Qing Yu and Ren Bingyue whispering in his ear, Qing Yu covered his mouth and chuckled, but Bingyue's face was flushed, and he was not aware of the movement in the hall at all, Ren Ruoxi frowned, and couldn't help but feel a trace of sorrow in his heart.

Zheng Pen'er and his guards got up to say goodbye, and when they heard the cold noise between the two sides, Ren Bingyue and Qing Yu knew that the eldest lady was leaving, and hurriedly stood up as well. Ren Ruoxi didn't look at them, and walked out first.

Zheng Pen'er stood at the top of the stairs with a smile on her face, hearing the footsteps "empty" and getting farther away, the healthy horses outside the building neighed, the sound of horses' hooves disappeared in a moment, and the smile on her face slowly cooled down.

He glanced at the person next to him, and said coldly: "Chu Cai, you also heard it just now, the contemptible person can only delay it for another three days at most, if you want to do it, there is only a chance for these three days, and after three days, everything will be suspended!" ”

The young man who pretended to be a servant smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Zheng, if it can be delayed for three days, our manpower will be ready." Chu immediately informed the Lord that he would never embarrass Lord Zheng. ”

"That's good!" Zheng Pen's robe sleeves rolled up, and he walked downstairs proudly.

Ren Ruoxi returned to the door of his mansion, and saw that the closed mansion next to him was open at this moment, and many armored soldiers were rushing in, and he couldn't help but restrain his horses, with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Several servants in the mansion stepped forward, and Ren Ruoxi pointed to the door of the mansion next to him with a horsewhip and asked, "Why are there so many armor soldiers, is it Mrs. Cheng Bi who went back to live in the courtyard?" ”

The Ren family has a big business, and there are many farms in Lu State, and this large manor is a property of her family, and some domestic slaves in the house are taken care of here all the year round. The servant was an old slave in the village.

The old slave with the green hair bowed and replied: "Miss, the old slave just heard from the slave maid of Mrs. Cheng's mansion that it seems that a doctor surnamed Zhan borrowed her family's mansion for a banquet, not Mrs. Cheng Bi. ”

Ren Ruoxi let out an "oh" and said lightly: "Go home." ”

After she finished speaking, she didn't see her sister respond, and when she turned her head, Ren Bingyue and Qing Yu were still talking and laughing in a low voice right away, and she didn't feel angry. Ren Ruoxi shook his wrist, and the horsewhip in his hand was raised, and a crisp sound exploded in the air, startling Ren Bingyue and Qing Yu, who were gathering together, and quickly separated.

Ren Ruoxi snorted coldly and shouted, "Get off the horse!" ”

The old slave knelt on the ground in front of the horse, Ren Ruoxi pressed the horse's back, the fawn leather boots stepped on his back, reached out and lifted the skirt and walked down the ground, striding towards the mansion door, Ren Bingyue saw that her sister was angry, and quickly stuck out the tip of her tongue, obediently dismounted and followed behind.

Ren Ruoxi walked through the two courtyards, stood still under a big elm tree with thick shade, turned his face and said with a sinking face: "Bingyue, my sister took you out, did you come to let you play in the mountains and rivers?" I only know how to laugh and play with my subordinates all day long, and I have to make people come to me to come to me, and you can't do anything serious......"

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss is still young and doesn't know ...... business", Qing Yu just said this, Ren Ruoxi's cold gaze swept towards her, the ice was as cold as ice through the bones, Qing Yu felt a chill in her heart, and quickly closed her mouth.

Ren Ruoxi curled the corners of her mouth, pointed at her with a horsewhip at will, and shouted: "There is no rule of superiority and humility, I will talk to the second lady, when will it be your turn to interject, get out, kneel down in the vestibule, and slap your mouth twenty!" ”

Qing Yu was so shocked that her face turned white, Ren Mansion, except for the head of the Ren family, she was afraid of this eldest lady, when she saw the eldest lady angry, where did Qing Yu dare to talk, immediately obediently withdrew from the inner court, returned to the vestibule and knelt straight on the bluestone slab in the center of the road, and slapped her mouth, seeing that she didn't dare to hide her strength.

Ren Bingyue originally smiled and disagreed, but when she saw her sister punishing her subordinates so severely, her face showed some unhappiness, and she wrung her eyebrows and said: "Sister, Qingyu is the girl next to me, she has always been well-behaved and sensible, even if she interjects and speaks, even if she messes up the rules, it is also because of her loyalty to the Lord, why is my sister so responsible?" ”

Ren Ruo was extremely angry, shook the whip in his hand, brushed the ground and pulled off a piece of elm money, and saw that Ren Bingyue shrank her neck, as if the whip was on her neck. My sister doesn't lose her temper easily, and when she really gets angry, she is also afraid in her heart.

Ren Ruoxi paced back and forth in front of the court for a few steps, stood in front of Ren Bingyue and glared at her for a long time before she nodded and said coldly: "You asked me why?" Good! You come in with me! ”

After saying that, he turned around and strode towards the room, Ren Bingyue pouted, and had to follow in.

Ren Ruoxi sat down at the table, glanced at Bingyue with an innocent face, sighed helplessly, and asked, "Bingyue, what are we doing here in the name of returning to Qi to worship our ancestors?" ”

Ren Bingyue blinked, and said with a blank face: "Didn't you deliver two hundred pieces of leather armor, three hundred swords, and five hundred narrow-leaf spear tips to the buyer?" ”

Ren Ruoxi shook her head and said helplessly: "Bingyue, my father is full of wives and concubines, but there is no son under his knees, only you and I have two daughters." Now that my father is old, this huge family business is up to you and me to share my father's worries. Nowadays, King Wu is very jealous of people who are too close to the former king, and the Ren family is in danger now, don't you still know it? ”

Ren Bingyue was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "No, although our Ren family is also a big family of the Wu Kingdom, but it has never had a too close relationship with the royal family, now that King Wu has ascended the throne, didn't his father also present him with 3,000 bronze swords, what does he not believe in our family." ”

Ren Ruoxi smiled bitterly, she lowered her fine eyelids, and said silently for a moment: "It's not because my father, Dr. Cao, made a statement to the former prince Ji that he wanted to ...... Xu married to Gongzi Qingji as a wife. The king agreed in one mouthful, just because the prince of Qingji was still fighting in the Chu State, and he was not hired. At that time, He Lu was in front of the throne, and he saw it all, how could he believe in my Ren family after he seized the throne?

Wu Yue's smelting and forging skills are the first in the world, and my Ren family is one of the leaders, and the weapons of Wu are out of my house. There are 2,000 smelters, 2,000 blacksmiths, and 4,000 mining wrestlers under my father's command, if you want to rebel, you can pull up a team in an instant, can King Wu not regard my Ren family as a thorn in his heart?

It's just that our Ren family plays a pivotal role in Wu State, and after he ascended the throne, his father took the lead in offering 3,000 swords as a congratulatory gift. His father saw through his murderous intentions and offered his sword for self-protection. Now he violated the ban of Wu and sold weapons to the princes privately, but also for survival. Making money is not the goal, so as to get acquainted with the powerful people of various countries and bury the way out, which is the true intention of my father. ”

Ren Bingyue was surprised: "So that's ......, but Bingyue didn't do anything, just walked around with Qing Yu, what kind of trouble could it cause?" ”

Ren Ruoxi reprimanded: "Confused! Once the news that we will not be able to disagree with the powerful ministers of other countries in private is leaked, King Wu, who is already suspicious, will definitely not even do any face-saving efforts, and will definitely attack my Ren family immediately, and then our Ren family will be wiped out. Along the way, my sister lived in a simple house and was cautious, but you didn't care, you showed up everywhere, and said that you wouldn't cause trouble?

How many times have I told you, but you don't take it to heart, and Qingyu's girl only knows how to please and instigate you, and vote for you. Hum! It's getting restless. She is loyal to you, I know, but can a faithful servant be indulgent? You are a woman of the Ren family, and the slaves and maids around you are not ordinary slaves and maids, and you have no distinction between you and them, which will make them have undeserved expectations!

When you have authority in your hands, their status will naturally rise with the tide, and their morale will become higher and higher, but no matter how you treat them, can you share everything you have with them? Can you give them the same honor and status as you?

If you can't do it, but you indulge their ambitions, they will resent. The way of mastery must be both grace and power, so that he will be grateful for your reward and revere your authority, and there will be no distinction between master and servant like you, and there will be no order between respect and inferiority, and sooner or later something will happen.

Look at the current Lu State, the three offices of Ji Sun, Uncle Sun, and Meng Sun divided the power of Lu Jun and drove Lu Jun to Qi State. The powerful retainers under their command, such as Yanghu, Gongshan Buhu, and Zhong Lianghuai, are also ambitious, secretly accumulating dead soldiers, privately purchasing weapons, setting up public offices, usurping power, and taking exactly the same path as their masters.

These offices are to Lu Jun, these retainers are to the office, who was not loyal to the office, and everything is only obeyed by the Lord's orders? And who has harbored evil intentions in the first place? People's hearts are difficult to satisfy, desires are difficult to fill, and it is a person's natural surname to have one hope for ten and ten to hope for a hundred. If you don't know how to control it, but you have a lot of power, the loyal dog will also become a vicious wolf, and sooner or later it will eat you. ”

Ren Bingyue said unconvinced: "Isn't there still a sister here, Bingyue just needs to listen to you, what can I learn to do these tricks under the control of power?" ”

"Me?" Ren Ruoxi's distant mountain-like eyebrows were slightly locked, and a wisp of melancholy slowly rippled between her eyebrows, she looked at the swaying flowers on the path outside the door, and was stupid for a long time, before she sighed faintly, and said in a low voice: "Sister...... Maybe I'm going to get married soon......"
