Scheme of the Official Descendant

Mrs. Li also noticed Ren Shimin's clothes, and quickly asked, "Master, do you want to take a bath first?"

Ren Shimin looked down at his clothes, frowned and said, "I'm used to it after wearing it for so many days. I feel stinky after you remind me like this. Go prepare some hot water."

Mrs. Li hurried down to order someone to boil water, and went to fetch clothes for Ren Shimin.

Ren Yaoqi leaned over and said, "Daddy, has your journey been uneven?"

Ren Shimin stretched out his hand and pushed Ren Yaoqi's head away: "Don't lean closer, Daddy smells bad."

Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "A dog doesn't think my mother is ugly, but I don't think my father is smelly."

Ren Shimin couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, but she didn't chase her away: "I originally planned to leave after attending the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace, but was delayed by one thing, and then there were banquets, big and small."

"Oh? Did something serious happen?" Or did Xiao Jingxi's condition worsen? The return journey has become a problem? Ren Yaoqi couldn't help worrying.

Ren Shimin took the tea brought by the maid, and he was not as fussy as he used to be. He opened the bowl and drank it. Fortunately, the weather is cold now, and the tea is ready to drink.

Ren Shimin took two sips of hot tea before saying: "This matter is either big or small. The Second Young Master Xiao showed his face at the Wendou meeting, and was spotted by Yan Xiang's wife for some reason. Said that he wanted to marry the daughter of the Yan family to the second son."

Ren Yaoqi was taken aback when she heard the words: "Miss Yan?"

Ren Yaoqi remembered that Miss Yan's family had also taken a fancy to Xiao Jingxi in her last life, and finally chased him to Yanbei.

"Didn't you say that Second Young Master Xiao is ill?" Ren Yaoqi asked, it seems that the illness should not be very serious.

Ren Shimin nodded: "Second son just made an appearance at the Wendou meeting, and has been recuperating in the annex since then. He only came out for a while when he couldn't miss the final Mid-Autumn Festival banquet." Having said this, Ren Shimin sighed , "I don't know how the Second Young Master Xiao is doing now."

Ren Yaoqi frowned: "He didn't come back with you this time?"

Ren Shimin sighed: "The emperor and the empress dowager had been unwilling to let people go before they walked together, and finally they were able to escape, but the journey was not very peaceful, and they encountered two assassins successively. We left separately, after that Second Young Master Xiao's carriage disappeared, but after he left, the road became peaceful, it seems that those assassins are still targeting Second Young Master Xiao."

Ren Yaoqi's heart that had been let go after listening to it hung up again.

Did Xiao Jingxi not come back yet?

Encountered an assassin again? Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but think of the assassination incident and the poison on him when she was riding in his carriage last time. I don't know how many times he will encounter such a thing in a year?

Ren Yaoqi still wanted to ask Ren Shimin some details, but at this time Mrs. Li came over and said that the bath water was ready, and asked Ren Shimin to take a bath. Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Shimin's tired face, but finally held back, and wanted to wait for Ren Shimin to rest before asking.

A few days after Master Ren San came back, there was still no news from Xiao Jingxi, but for some unknown reason, Yanbei Palace did not publicize the fact that Second Young Master Xiao had not returned to Yanbei, even Ren Shimin and the others were confessed Don't talk too much. But Ren Yaoqi heard from Ren Yijun that the number of people coming and going on the official road leading to the capital has more than doubled than usual.

The situation outside seemed to be calm on the surface, but underneath it was already tense.

When Ren Shimin was still in the capital, Elder Ren sent someone to the capital to inquire about the news. Now that Ren Shimin has returned, the person who inquired about the news brought a letter from the second old man who was far away in the capital.

Early this morning, Mrs. Ren summoned the adult men of the Ren family, and Ren Shimin also went. After he came back, he took a good rest for a few days and finally recovered slowly.

After Ren Yaoqi learned about it, she continued to explain it, and the third master Ren came back to report to her. Ren Yaoqi guessed that the second old man's letter should be about the matter of the Ren family's coal warehouse in the south, and this matter may have something to do with Fang Yacun.

Ever since Ren Yaoqi found out about Fang Yacun's involvement with Eunuch Lu, she paid close attention to news from the capital.

At noon, when Ren Shimin came back, Ren Yaoqi went to his study to look for him.

Ren Shimin was very puzzled why his daughter cared about these boring and trivial things, but he still said to Ren Yaoqi in a good temper: "Father said that because of the Fang family's help, the Ren family's coal mine in the south of the Yangtze River has improved. I heard that next year The Ren family may open four more coal warehouses in the Kyoto area, and the relevant documents are already being prepared."

Ren Yaoqi tentatively said: "I remember that the documents required by the coal warehouse in Kyoto are very cumbersome, and it takes a lot of money to clear up the relationship?"

Ren Shimin thought for a while and said, "I heard from my father that there seems to be some noble person helping me."

Ren Yaoqi pursed her lips, and asked in a stiff tone, "What nobleman?"

"This... Father doesn't seem to have said anything." Ren Shimin was embarrassed to say that he didn't pay attention.

Ren Yaoqi bowed her head and said softly: "Where are there so many cheap things in this world? What others give you, I always hope to get more returns from you, but I don't know if the Ren family will be able to afford it at that time." What a 'noble man' wants."

"What return? The Ren family is not short of money." Ren Shimin said indifferently.

Ren Yaoqi sighed, and she remembered Ren Shimin's saying that he might go to teach at Yunyang Academy after the new year's spring, so she asked, "Daddy, if you go to teach at Yunyang Academy, the academy will teach every year. How much salary do you get?"

Hearing this, Ren Shimin gave Ren Yaoqi a strange look, frowned and said: "Money is just something outside of your body, Yaoyao, don't pay too much attention to it, if you lack something, just let Daddy buy it for you. As for the academy, I'm just going to talk to you Mr. Xu Shan negotiated, not to take the monthly salary."

The third master Ren didn't care about the little money at all. He went to the academy only because there were many like-minded people there, and he could study with them the things he was interested in. Quite a lot.

Ren Yaoqi knew this would happen.

She sighed secretly, and said, "Daddy, it's not that I care about those extraneous things, but do you remember that Wu Fang was fined for a year?"

The third master Ren suddenly said: "Oh, this matter? I remember. The fifth younger brother also came to me to borrow money, but later his father found out for some reason, and asked someone to take the money away, and said that if I If you dare to secretly give money to Fifth Brother, you will be punished along with me."

Ren Yaoqi nodded: "Have you seen how Uncle Wu and the others have been this year?"

Mrs. Ren said that she would not give money, so she really would not give it. Originally, Mrs. Ren Wu had a lot of dowry, and it was not a problem to support the expenditure of the fifth house. It's just that Mrs. Ren's dowry was mostly valuable jewelry, and she took it out to pawn After a few times, the fifth master refused to let her go, and she was not allowed to borrow money from her natal family.

When Mrs. Ren Wu married in the first place, the Lin family gave her the best dowry. Many people have seen it, and others will know when some things are given out. The fifth master also wanted face. He wanted his wife to support him with a dowry, so he felt that there was no room for face.

But Mrs. Ren Wu didn't give out the money to subsidize, and the fifth master really couldn't give out the money, so the fifth house was immediately stretched. Mrs. Ren Wu had never suffered such grievances before, and within half a year she couldn't hold on anymore, and began to sell jewelry secretly again.

The fifth master, who had never spoken loudly to his wife for more than ten years, lost his temper and quarreled with the fifth wife several times. The two ignored each other for more than half a year, until recently they gradually eased up.

"Daddy, what if one day you are punished by your grandfather?"

Master Ren Wu was confused and said: "This...isn't it?"

Ren Yaoqi shook her head: "If you're not afraid of ten thousand, you're just in case. So you should accept the salary given by Yunyang Academy first, at worst, you just keep it and don't spend it. After a few years, you can donate all the money Wouldn’t it be great to build a painting gallery or a library for the academy? You earned all the money yourself, which is different from the painting gallery built with Ren’s money.”

Ren Shimin was moved by the words, thought for a while and nodded, "Then let's do it this way."

On the second day, Ren Shimin was invited to go to Yunyang Academy. Those who came back from Kyoto with Ren Shimin will go to Yunyang Academy to give lectures for a while, and Ren Yaoqi will also go with him on the grounds that he wants to deliver a letter to the princess. The old lady Ren thought that Ren Yaoqi would go to the palace more often so that she could build a good relationship with the princess, so she approved her.

What Ren Yaoqi didn't expect was that when she first arrived in Yunyang City, the first thing she heard was the news of Ningxia's general soldier Wu Xiaohe's sudden death.

Although Ren Yaoqi vaguely remembered that this was the time when Wu Xiaohe died in her previous life, she couldn't help but change her expression the moment she heard it.

Now the whole Yunyang city is buzzing because of this news.

Everyone knows that Wu Xiaohe, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, is the brother-in-law of King Yanbei. Wu Xiaohe holds the military power of the entire Ningxia in his hands. He has played a decisive role in the stability of the frontier in the northwest region.

However, the post of General Soldier in Ningxia is a bit special. He is hereditary, from father to son, and from son to grandson. Unfortunately, Wu Xiaohe has no son, he only has an only daughter.

The vacuum of military power in the northwest region brought about by Wu Xiaohe's sudden death, although it was only temporary, would definitely make all forces ready to move.

But at this time, there was no news of Xiao Jingxi, and he didn't know if he had returned safely.

Ren Yaoqi hesitated for a moment, and finally found an envelope, put a few angelica roots in it, left no words, and did not sign it, so someone sent it to Yanbei Palace together with her letter to Xiao Jinglin .

Sorry for the lateness, I have been stuck for a long time today...

I hope you are obedient and have not waited for more...
