Scheme of the Official Descendant

Due to the author's negligence, chapter 279 was repeated, and it has been revised just now, but some mobile phone party pros can't synchronize for a while, so the author temporarily pastes chapter 279 into the free chapter. Those who are willing to support the author can buy chapter 279 in the VIP chapter ~ thank you o(∩_∩)o

Ren Yaoqi told Pingguo and Mulberry: "You guys wait outside."

Apple and Mulberry didn't dare to say anything, they both bowed their heads in agreement.

Ren Yaoqi raised her hand and pushed the door and walked into the private room.

This private room has two rooms inside and outside, the place is not too big, but the decoration is exquisite and meticulous, and it can be seen from the decoration and other small places that it is somewhat elegant.

Ren Yaoqi went straight into the inner room.

Xiao Jingxi was sitting at the table with his head down, fiddling with something quietly. The light coming in from the window cast a layer of warm golden light on his hand near the window, even if he only looked at his profile, it was very beautiful.

When Ren Yaoqi got closer, he realized that what Xiao Jingxi was tinkering with was a nine-link ring made of jade. When Ren Yaoqi looked over, Xiao Jingxi happened to untie the nine-link ring.

Xiao Jingxi raised his head and smiled at Ren Yaoqi, then raised the Nine Links in his hand and said, "Would you like to try?"

Ren Yaoqi reached out to pick it up, but Xiao Jingxi raised his hand slightly to avoid it, then lowered his head and restored the nine chains he had untied to its original state.

Ren Yaoqi sat on the seat beside him and watched quietly.

Xiao Jingxi handed the Jiulianhuan to Ren Yaoqi after finishing it.

"I'll time it for you?" After speaking, Xiao Jingxi conjured up a small hourglass out of nowhere, put it on the table, and looked at Ren Yaoqi with a smile.

Ren Yaoqi looked at the hourglass, then lowered her head and took it apart unhurriedly. She also played with this thing when she was a child, but she forgot how to take it apart, so she could only explore slowly while taking it apart.

Xiao Jingxi sat aside and watched. He didn't speak, and he didn't give any guidance.

As a result, most of the hourglass was missing, and Ren Yaoqi still didn't untie it. She looked at the hourglass, then at Xiao Jingxi who just smiled and said nothing, and then put Jiu Lianhuan back on the table.

Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Ren Yaoqi said: "It's not my specialty, so don't waste time."

Xiao Jingxi joked, "Give up so easily?"

Ren Yaoqi shook her head when she heard the words, and then picked up the Nine Chains and looked at it again: "If you just want to unravel it, there is a very simple way to smash it open. But I see that this Nine Chains seems to be Xiao Gongzi's favorite thing, so let's let it go." This nine-linked ring seems to be often played with by people, and it is very moist.

Xiao Jingxi smiled lightly and said, "Well, Tong He found it when he was tidying up my cage a few days ago. It was my favorite thing before I was ten years old."

Ren Yaoqi looked at the Jiulianhuan curiously after hearing the words: "It's so well preserved, it seems that Mr. Xiao is a nostalgic person."

Xiao Jingxi just smiled and poured Ren Yaoqi a cup of hot tea.

"Zeng Yu seems to be at his fingertips recently?" Ren Yaoqi asked softly, watching Xiao Jingxi's movement of pouring tea.

Xiao Jingxi put down the teapot and smiled slightly: "Even if the Wu family comes, Ningxia has never been a piece of iron. Although Zeng Yu, the general soldier of Ningxia, is not worthy of his name, his name is always there. For the benefit, people who want to get close to him There will be."

Ren Yaoqi thought for a while and frowned and said, "But wouldn't it be a headache for Yanbei if he was defeated one by one like this?" The reason why the imperial court took Wu Jiashan for surgery this time.

Xiao Jingxi glanced at Ren Yaoqi thoughtfully: "You seem to be very concerned about Ningxia's affairs? What's the reason?"

Ren Yaoqi was silent for a moment, and then said: "A few days ago, the Zeng family came to the Ren family to propose marriage."

The marriage between the Zeng family and the Ren family is still in the stage of private negotiation, and it has not been reported, and Xiao Jingxi didn't spend much time in Yunyang City, so he didn't notice these trivial matters.

Hearing Ren Yaoqi's words, Xiao Jingxi obviously misunderstood, and his expression changed: "Who are you asking for marriage?"

Only then did Ren Yaoqi realize that she hadn't made it clear, and hurriedly said, "It's my third sister. Zeng Yu proposed marriage to my third sister because of Zeng Kui."

Xiao Jingxi breathed a sigh of relief, coughed lightly and said, "Oh, I thought..."

Xiao Jingxi did not finish speaking, and Ren Yaoqi was not stupid enough to ask, the two were silent for a while.

Xiao Jingxi thought for a while before continuing, "Zeng Kui? I'm afraid this person is not a good match."

Ren Yaoqi knew from Xiao Jingxi's words that he must have checked Zeng's house before Zeng Yu came to Yanbei, and knew what Zeng Kui did when he was in the capital.

Ren Yaoqi nodded and said, "I've also heard some rumors about Zeng Kui, so I don't agree with the third sister marrying into the Zeng family. But the old man of the Ren family, that is, my grandfather, wants to marry the Zeng family."

Xiao Jingxi couldn't help raising his eyebrows, but thinking that the old man of the Ren family was Ren Yaoqi's biological grandfather, Xiao Jingxi still didn't say anything.

Xiao Jingxi didn't say anything, but Ren Yaoqi said bluntly: "I only have one older sister, and I don't want to see her sacrificed by the family in exchange for that ridiculous benefit."

Xiao Jingxi nodded: "What do you want to do?" He paused, then said softly, "I'll help you."

Ren Yaoqi came to Xiao Jingxi today to ask him for help, but she still felt a little throbbing when she heard Xiao Jingxi's words.

Ren Yaoqi bowed her head and said softly: "I really need your help with this matter, the Ren family should have learned some lessons even today."

Xiao Jingxi was a little surprised when he heard the words: "What kind of teaching method??"

Ren Yaoqi said slowly: "If you want to stand on both sides, it depends on whether you have the weight. The Ren family made their fortune from Yanbei, but my grandfather wanted to open the Ren family's coal warehouses throughout Dazhou. Now is the time It's time for him to make a choice, he can only choose between Yanbei and Jingdu. If the Ren family wants to choose Jingdu, then the Ren family should not take these coal mines and coal warehouses in Yanbei."

Xiao Jingxi paused: "If the Yanbei Palace seals off the Ren family's coal mine, the lives of everyone in the Ren family will be affected, including you."

Ren Yaoqi smiled: "It's okay, my grandfather is a smart man, he knows how to choose."

Xiao Jingxi likes to see Ren Yaoqi smile, but at this moment he feels a little distressed seeing Ren Yaoqi smile.

Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jingxi, blinked and said: "Of course, you can't be allowed to do nothing for nothing. Isn't the Yanbei Army now short of money? The Ren family's money is enough for you to solve your urgent needs for a while. You You can keep it in your hands for a while longer."

Xiao Jingxi smiled and shook his head: "How can you be like this?"

Ren Yaoqi smiled, but did not speak.

She knew how the Ren family got rich, and so did Xiao Jingxi.

"By the way, is there any news from Fang Yacun?" Ren Yaoqi hadn't seen Xiao Jingxi for a while, and because she knew he was busy with Ningxia affairs, she didn't ask him about the Fang family.

Xiao Jingxi said: "Fang Yacun can be regarded as a capable official, do you know where his foundation is?"

Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, and then said with certainty: "It's the Fang family!"

Xiao Jingxi nodded: "So if you want Fang Yacun to have no chance of fighting back, you should start with Fang's family. As for the affairs in the officialdom, things are changing rapidly, just like the reason why Feng Mian, the magistrate of Chuzhou, took a fancy to Fang Yacun. It was because the Fang family had money to help him. Feng Mian was able to promote the Fang family and contributed a lot. Of course, he would support Fang Yacun in turn. It will also be hard to move.”

What Xiao Jingxi said made Ren Yaoqi's eyes light up.

It's also thanks to Xiao Jingxi who told her about these twists and turns, otherwise it would not be easy for her to know herself and the enemy while living in Yanbei Yaya Jiangnan.

"Thank you, I know what to do." Ren Yaoqi said sincerely.

Xiao Jingxi smiled and said softly, "You don't have to thank me."

At this moment, Apple reported through the door: "Miss, the two nuns have already bought some snacks."

Ren Yaoqi heard that she knew it was time to leave.

Although she believed that Xiao Jingxi would definitely take care of everything here so that no one would know that they would meet in private, but it would not be appropriate for her to disappear in front of people for too long.

Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jingxi, got up and said, "I have to go first."

Xiao Jingxi looked at her and nodded: "Okay."

Ren Yaoqi bowed his knees and saluted, and was about to turn around and leave when Xiao Jingxi said again: "By the way, if you need to go to Jiangning for anything, you can send someone to find Master Chu of the Chu family in Jiangning, and you can tell me It's from the Yan family. I remember that Fang Yahui, the eldest daughter of the Fang family, married into the Qin family, and Chu Jiuye's official wife was from the Qin family."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but stopped, and hesitated: "I don't know if this Chu Jiuye can be trusted? I'm afraid that what I want to do is..."

This is what Ren Yaoqi was thinking about. She has a way to bring down Fang Yacun, but finding the right person to make it happen is a problem. If she had to, she could only go to Xianwangfu to borrow someone or ask Zhu Ruomei for help. However, no matter whether it is Xianwangfu or Zhu Ruomei, it will take some time to reach out to Jiangning.

Knowing Ren Yaoqi's concerns, Xiao Jingxi said softly, "If you have something to do, just leave it to him, he won't say a word."

After hearing Xiao Jingxi's words, Ren Yaoqi understood a little bit that Chu Jiuye was probably someone who was placed in Jiangning by the Yanbei Palace.

But Ren Yaoqi felt even more sorry for this.

Seeing Ren Yaoqi groaning and not speaking, Xiao Jingxi thought for a while, then looked at Ren Yaoqi and said with a smile: "Well, my people can be used by you, and I will ask the Ren family to collect the money later."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help laughing when she remembered what the two of them had said before.

"Okay, thank you."

Ren Yaoqi said goodbye to Xiao Jingxi and walked out of the private room.

Seeing that Ren Yaoqi had come out, Tong Xi immediately led her downstairs, and said, "I have asked the waiter in the teahouse to arrange for Miss Fifth's people to drink tea at the front. After you get into the carriage, I will let them go to the front door." Waiting for you."

When Ren Yaoqi came in by the side door, he only brought apples and mulberries, and everyone else stayed outside.

Ren Yaoqi nodded and thanked her.

When Ren Yaoqi got into the carriage, Tong Xi arranged for someone to drive the carriage out, and the other women and maids she brought came out from the front door of the teahouse.
