Scheme of the Official Descendant

According to the rules of Yanbei, on the second day after moving to the new house, there will be a banquet to invite some relatives and friends to the new house, which can be regarded as adding some popularity to the new house.

However, the Ren family didn't separate, and Ren Shimin's room was not strictly a housewarming, so Ren Shimin didn't order Li Shi to handle the wine. On the contrary, some gentlemen from Yunyang Academy who were acquainted with Ren Shimin got the news and sent their family members to bring some food or small gifts over.

Mrs. Li suggested that Ren Shimin invite friends from Yunyang Academy over and set up a few tables in the outer courtyard. Ren Shimin thought about it for a while, and then he agreed. The gentlemen of the academy and Ren Shimin were kindred spirits, and he didn't dislike such entertainment with Third Master Ren.

Ren Yaoqi saw it, and was happy in her heart. Their room now needs some interpersonal contacts that have nothing to do with the Ren family, so that even if they fall out with the Ren family one day, they won't be in the embarrassing situation of betrayal.

Ren Yaoqi also discussed with Mrs. Li and Ren Yaohua, after a few days, the family has made arrangements to find a reason to invite the wives and daughters of Ren Shimin's friends in the academy to the house, so that they can see each other in the future.

Mrs. Li was also educated by an aristocratic family. Of course, she also understood that for Ren Shimin, who had just entered Yunyang Academy and his qualifications were still relatively inexperienced, the contacts between these women in the inner courtyard were beneficial and harmless to him, so Mrs. Li was very happy. The place is ready, and even discussed with the sisters in advance about the dishes to be used at that time and what preparations need to be made in advance. For Li Shi, it was the first time for her to be the master of the house and treat guests after she got married.

However, what Li's mother and daughter didn't expect was that before their posts were sent, the post of Xu Shanchang's wife, Ouyang, would be sent first.

Mrs. Xu invited Li's mother and daughter to Bailong Temple to worship Buddha, listen to Zen, and eat vegetarian food. Mrs. Xu also invited not only their mother and daughter, but also the wives and daughters of several gentlemen who also teach in Yunyang Academy.

Mrs. Xu's move was an act of handing them pillows when she saw them dozing off, which was very kind and considerate. Ren Yaoqi was worrying about how to help Mrs. Li communicate with other wives, and she couldn't help being overjoyed after receiving the post.

There is Mrs. Xu who leads the way. It is much easier for Mrs. Li to enter the small circle of wives in Yunyang Academy.

So Ren Yaoqi immediately asked Mrs. Li to send a message to Mrs. Xu, saying that they would definitely go.

When the day agreed with Mrs. Xu and the others arrived, Mrs. Li got up early to dress up. She didn't really want to dress up beautifully. On the contrary, she was dressed in a very low-key and simple way, but Li Shi paid much attention to going out this time, so she took some thought to make herself look simple and elegant without losing Ren Shimin's face.

When Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua went to the main room to look for Mrs. Li, they both nodded when they saw her clothes.

Before going out, Ren Yaoying's maid ran over and said that Miss Jiu was not feeling well. I won't go to Bailong Temple with them today.

Mrs. Li knew that this concubine was careful and thoughtful, and she didn't expect to be in harmony with her mother and daughter, she just hoped that she would be well-behaved and not cause trouble. Although Ren Yaoying made excuses for not wanting to go when she heard this, Li Shi didn't say anything. Let Xi'er go over to have a look, and ask if it's necessary to invite the doctor to come in for Ren Yaoying to have a look, and he doesn't force her to go out.

Ren Yaoying won't go. It didn't affect the mood of Li's mother and daughter going out. Seeing that it was almost time, Mrs. Li took sisters Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua out.

Not long after Mrs. Li and the others left, Ren Yaoying, who was lying on the bed pretending to be sick, got up, and she told her maid: "Go to Zhou's house and tell Ms. Zhou that she will send a car to pick me up."

That servant girl followed Ren Yaoying later, and was captured by Aunt Fang with money, so she was still loyal to her. After getting the order and the reward, I went out immediately.

Ren Yaoying sneered and said, "I'm not going out with you as a display!"

Afterwards, the Zhou family sent a carriage to pick him up, because the Zhou family said that they were ordered by Mrs. Zhou to take over Yaoying to go to the Zhou Mansion to meet Miss Zhou. The Zhou family has already sent someone to Bailong Temple to explain to Li Shi, so it is not easy for the stewards left by Li Shi to stop the Zhou family. Ren Yaoying dressed herself up and went out in the Zhou family's carriage up.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xu made an appointment to meet outside the city gate. The Ren family's carriage left the gate of Yunyang City and they saw several carriages. They were not late, but two wives had already arrived first.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Chen, who arrived first, were both about the same age as Mrs. Li. They were relatively young among the wives of Yunyang Academy. Mrs. Liu brought her second daughter, Liu Menghan. Her eldest daughter passed away last year. married. Mrs. Chen brought her eldest daughter, Chen Zhiyi, and a youngest son who was just three years old.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Chen saw that Mrs. Li was very friendly, so they came over to say hello. They should be gentle and kind people on weekdays. Both Liu Menghan and Chen Zhiyi are about the same age as Ren Yaoqi, and both have meek and graceful temperaments.

Because their husbands and sons-in-law are both teaching at Yunyang Academy, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Chen chatted together very quickly. The three of them are all well-educated ladies of the family, they speak softly and behave gently, so they all have a good first impression of each other.

At this time, Ren Yaoqi had to thank Mrs. Xu for her thoughtfulness. With Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Chen who are similar in temperament to Mrs. Li, it will be easier for Mrs. Li to enter this circle in the future. In many cases, interpersonal communication requires a person to offer an olive branch first. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Chen arranged by Mrs. Xu for Mrs. Li are such two givers of olive branches.

After that, several wives came one after another, and they were all very well-bred. Mrs. Xu was the last to arrive. Although she was not late, she still expressed her apologies to everyone who was waiting for her.

When she saw Ren Yaoqi, Mrs. Xu acted very friendly, beckoned Ren Yaoqi to pass by, and took her hand and said kindly: "Why do you look thinner than last time? Have you been practicing piano at home recently? Practicing painting? You can take a car with me today, I have to take the school exam, are you lazy?"

Speaking of Mrs. Xu, she joked with Mrs. Li: "I'll borrow your daughter to talk to my carriage, don't you mind?"

Sensing Mrs. Xu's kindness, Mrs. Li smiled and shook her head: "That means you think highly of her."

The wives next to him also laughed and joked a few words, Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "I heard that Madam, you have a new apprentice. When Menghan was at home, she kept arguing that she wanted to see her. I don't want to see you today." I really have this opportunity to meet her, she looks like a smart, blessed and good child."

Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "They are all good children." After speaking, Mrs. Xu said to Liu Menghan and Chen Zhiyi, "I thought before that your temperaments should get along well, and I saw you talking happily in the carriage just now. Not bad! Come and see more in the future, anyway, you live nearby, so it’s convenient to come and go.”

Liu Menghan and Chen Zhiyi respected Mrs. Xu, and they nodded in agreement.

After exchanging pleasantries with each other enough, Mrs. Xu took the lead and got into the carriage, and all the ladies and ladies also got into their own carriages. Ren Yaoqi sat in Mrs. Xu's carriage.

When the carriage started to move, Ren Yaoqi said gratefully: "Thank you Madam."

Mrs. Xu looked at her and smiled gently: "It's just a trivial matter. Speaking of which, you are still my savior. It's nothing if I just give you a hand. Don't thank me, just live your own life in the future. Today The ladies who came here are very good-natured, and you will never go wrong if you spend a lot of time with them on weekdays."

Ren Yaoqi hurriedly agreed.

Mrs. Xu is a person of profound knowledge, but Ren Yaoqi is also considered a famous teacher and an excellent student, and has read a lot of books, so when chatting with Mrs. Xu along the way, the two of them were able to chat together, and they had a very happy conversation.

Mrs. Xu was surprised by Ren Yaoqi's knowledge, and she also admired her even more. After all, at Ren Yaoqi's age, there are not many people in this world who can keep up with Mrs. Xu's thinking and conversation.

The carriage arrived at Bailong Temple soon, and Ren Yaoqi personally helped Mrs. Xu get off the carriage.

Ren Yaoqi is no stranger to this place in Bailong Temple, and these ladies and ladies seem to be regular visitors here, a group of people are familiar with each other along the way.

Mrs. Xu took all the ladies to burn incense and donated money for sesame oil, and then took them to listen to the master's lecture on Buddhist scriptures. Mrs. Xu is open-minded, and she doesn't let the young girls like Ren Yaoqi follow her, and sends them to play with her.

During the Ren Yao period, Ren Yaohua, Liu Menghan, and Chen Zhiyi left.

The ladies circled around the White Dragon Temple, chatting about local customs and customs along the way. These ladies may not all come from big families, but because of their family background, they talk very elegantly. Even Ren Yaohua listened to them. Talking will not feel boring.

Later, when they were tired from walking, they asked the Zhike monk in the temple to arrange a small courtyard for them to drink tea, chat and play chess.

After Ren Yaoqi won a game against Liu Menghan, she got up and gave up her seat to Chen Zhiyi, only to find that Ren Yaohua who was sitting behind her was no longer there.

Ren Yaoqi asked Apple, "Where is the third sister?"

Apple replied: "Miss San was going to change clothes, so she took Sister Xiangqin and the others out. Miss, you were playing chess at the time, so Miss San didn't bother you."

Ren Yaoqi nodded when she heard the words, and said nothing more.

It is true that Ren Yaohua went out because she drank too much tea and wanted to change clothes, but she did not expect to meet Zeng Kui on the way back.
