Scheme of the Official Descendant

Zhou Wen also talked with her about his ambitions, and promised to treat her well in the future.

Ren Yaoying learned from the conversation with Zhou Wen that although Zhou's father was only a small scribe in the Yanbei Palace, and his ancestors had never been a high-ranking official, the Zhou family has been the direct descendant of the Yanbei Palace since Zhou Wen's great-grandfather. He has won the trust of the Yanbei Palace, and the Zhou family can be regarded as an old seniority in the Yanbei Palace. Because Zhou Wen is intelligent, he is a leader among the younger generation. As long as he can be admitted to Juren, the Yanbei Palace will definitely reuse him in the future. As long as he does not make mistakes, the future will definitely be bright.

Ren Yaoying is just a teenage girl, it is impossible to say that she is not at all tempted by such an affectionate Zhou Wen. He Kuan and Zhou Wen are good-looking and have a gentle and witty conversation. So at that time, facing Zhou Wen's confession of love, Ren Yaoying was still shaken, and she also carefully considered the possibility of marrying Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen is very sure about marrying Ren Yaoying, and Mrs. Zhou has a close relationship with Ren Yaoying's aunt and takes great care of her. Zhou Wen likes her, and Zhou Rong is simple-minded and obeys her. If Zhou Wen can really earn fame at a young age, coupled with the qualifications of the Zhou family in the Yanbei Palace, the future is sure to be good.

Thinking of this, Ren Yaoying felt that it would be good if she married Zhou Wen.

But when Ren Yaoying returned to Ren's house in a happy mood, she heard the chatter of a few women sitting together hiding from the rain and eating melon seeds. The women were talking about the big families in Yanbei, especially the Lei family and Lei Ting, the head of the Lei family. Now everyone in the Ren family knows that the third lady is going to marry into the Lei family to be the wife of the family, so they mentioned the Lei family back then. The scenery of Lei's family is always glorious, as if the scenery of Lei's family is the scenery of Ren's family, it is very invisible.

Ren Yaoying stopped when she heard this, and she stood silently under the veranda for a long time, motionless in a daze. After returning to her own yard, when Ren Yaoying remembered what Zhou Wen had said to her before, her joy and complacency faded unknowingly.

An autumn rain seemed to be prepared for this autumn. When the third master Ren came back from the invigilator, the sky cleared up again, and even suddenly became hot again.

I don't know if it's because the weather has been too erratic these days, the third master Ren fell ill on the day he came back, and the illness was not very serious, just a little cough and stuffy nose. Third Master Ren doesn't like to take medicine, so Li can only order the kitchen to stew pears with Chuanbei for Master Ren San. , staring at him to eat before giving up.

The third master Ren held his breath and drank a bowl of Chuanbei stewed pears in one gulp. Ren Yaoqi couldn't stop laughing at the wrinkled face. After he finished eating, he quickly poked him with a stick. A candied fruit.

Master Ren San glanced at it, and said in distaste: "Don't eat! Give me tea to rinse my mouth!"

Ren Yaoqi ordered the servant girl to bring the tea, and ate the candied fruit by herself.

After the third master Ren rinsed his mouth, he said: "Tomorrow I will go to the academy." Because the third master Ren was sick, he stayed at home for two consecutive days. His tea bowl almost fell to the ground, and his nose also flowed out. He immediately threw the bowl in his hand on the desk, took out a handkerchief and covered his nose, very embarrassed.

Ren Yaoqi said: "Dad, do you want the students to see yourself like this?"

After imagining sneezing and runny nose in front of the students, Third Master Ren immediately stopped talking.

He paused and said: "There are many people who are sick this time. Some people fainted in the examination room in the past few days in Qiu Wei, and they had to leave halfway." Having said that, Third Master Ren shook his head with some regret.

Although he himself doesn't value fame and fame, he is at least a model teacher and knows that it is not easy for students to study hard.

Ren Yaoqi comforted: "There is still a chance for the next exam."

Ren Shimin shook his head: "Brother Nanming thinks it's a pity, that's his favorite student."

The Nanming that the third master Ren spoke of was the name of Mr. Liu Xia of Yunyang Academy. Liu Xia was about the same age as Ren Shimin, and the two had similar temperaments, so they became friends. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Li also had a good relationship.

Ren Yaoqi smiled and said: "Mr. Liu loves talents, and he has quite a few proud disciples."

Ren Shimin glared at Ren Yaoqi: "This is the one he is most proud of, and he said before that he would learn painting from me. But now it seems that Mr. Zhou is so weak, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it. Forget it." When the third master Ren said that others were weak, he obviously forgot that he was still sick now.

Ren Yaoqi raised her eyebrows: "Zhou?"

Ren Shimin nodded and said, "I've heard Brother Nanming mention it a few times before, and it seems that his name is Zhou Wen. After sitting in the examination room for half a day, he passed out, and he can only wait for three years to take another exam."

Ren Yaoqi was stunned, Zhou Wen?

Thinking of Zhou Wen rushing to Baihe Town to meet Ren Yaoying in the rain the day before the exam, Ren Yaoqi was a little bit dumbfounded, and really didn't know what to say.

Ren Yaoying also knew about Zhou Wen's fainting in the examination room and being carried out, so Zhou Rong wrote her a letter.

In Zhou Rong's letter, Zhou Wen said that Zhou Wen had been ill for three days, and the fever finally subsided, but because he couldn't bear the blow, he was a little depressed. Although Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were so anxious that their hair turned gray, they didn't dare to mention the matter of Qiu Wei for fear that Zhou Wen would be shocked if he heard about it. The Zhou family had been miserable these days.

Zhou Rong knew what her brother was thinking, so she wrote to Ren Yaoying, asking if Ren Yaoying could find a way to go to her house once, even if she couldn't meet Zhou Wen directly, let Zhou Wen know that she had gone, maybe she would get better immediately .

Ren Yaoying replied to Zhou Rong's letter, and she was perfunctory, saying that she was grounded by her grandmother because of the last time she went out, and she really couldn't leave.

Zhou Rong immediately wrote back. Zhou Wen has been going smoothly since he was a child and has never encountered such a big blow, so he is a bit depressed. The people in the Zhou family are very worried. What Zhou Rong means is that if Ren Yaoying cannot go to the Zhou family If you don't want to go, can you write a letter to Zhou Wen to comfort him.

After Ren Yaoying read the letter, she casually burned it with fire. She didn't reply to Zhou Rong's letter, and threw the jade plaque that Zhou Wen gave her into the bottom drawer of the dressing table.

It's September this year. Yanbei always gets cold early, after the Double Ninth Festival, it will get colder day by day, so the September 9th Double Ninth Festival is a lively festival in Yunyang City, after this period of excitement, people like it The cat doesn't want to go out much at home.

Every year at this time, the streets and alleys of Yunyang City are full of flower farmers pushing wheelbarrows selling potted chrysanthemums, and young daughters-in-law and old women walking around the streets with a basket in their arms to buy dogwood sacs. Large and small wine shops, teahouses, and restaurants began to sell chrysanthemum wine, five-color chrysanthemum cakes, and various dishes with chrysanthemum as seasoning. From aristocratic families to poor farmers, everyone likes to invite friends and meet up for an outing.

This year's Double Ninth Festival, Mrs. Xu discussed with the wives of Yunyang Academy that they wanted to hold a larger climbing festival in the southern suburbs outside the city. Mrs. Li was also called to the capital by Mrs. Xu to discuss.

On this day, Mrs. Li went to Mrs. Xu's place, and Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua were at home with several big maids in the courtyard to select the ingredients for making chrysanthemum wine.

In the past few days, they have received a lot of chrysanthemum wine and five-color chrysanthemum cakes from other people's homes. It is a custom in Yanbei that families who have made friends with each other two days before the Double Ninth Festival give each other food. It's just that when returning the gift, Mrs. Li was a little difficult. The five-color chrysanthemum cake can be made fresh, but the chrysanthemum wine needs to be brewed on September 9 of the previous year. They didn't have any preparations for the Double Ninth Festival the year before, so they had to go to the restaurant to buy it. Several jars of chrysanthemum wine were bottled in return.

The gift of wine meant that the relationship between the two families would last for a long time. Mrs. Li felt that her family was not sincere enough, so she ordered Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua to bring the maids to brew a few jars of chrysanthemum wine and give it to them at the Double Ninth Festival next year. people.

Ren Yaoqi was leading a few big maids to personally select rehmannia, angelica, wolfberry, and Xi'er ran in with a smile on her face to report: "Miss San, Miss Fifth, the Lei family sent someone to bring wine, My wife and Nanny Zhou are not at home, so I don't know how to return the gift?" She said with a smile and glanced at Ren Yaohua.

Ren Yaoqi also took a look at Ren Yaohua, and said with a smile: "The family didn't make wine last year, so I can only go back and buy some from the wine shop."

Ren Yaohua frowned, then put down the small copper scale in her hand, got up and said, "I'll go and have a look." When she raised her head, she met her younger sister's playful gaze.

Ren Yaohua glared at Ren Yaoqi, turned around and left.

Before Xiangqin followed out, she winked at Ren Yaoqi and smiled. The funny appearance made Ren Yaoqi feel a little horrible, so she could only hold back her laughter.

Mrs. Li was not at home, Ren Yaohua personally went to deal with the Lei family's relationship, Ren Yaoqi did not follow her, but followed her. She also understood these days that Ren Yaohua did not reject this marriage, Ren Yaohua herself was satisfied, so Ren Yaoqi had nothing to say.

After a long time, Xi'er sneaked back to report to Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaohua went to the kitchen and personally led someone to steam two cages of chrysanthemum cakes, and specially ordered someone to make an extra cage of chrysanthemum cakes in the shape of a bunny for Lei Pan'er.

The etiquette of the Double Ninth Festival is not important, what is important is the heart, the Ren family does not have chrysanthemum wine, Ren Yaohua can only work hard from sincerity.

Ren Yaoqi listened but smiled and said nothing, and then seriously ordered a few daring maids not to mention this matter in front of Ren Yaohua. She was afraid that Ren Yaohua would become angry from embarrassment and would vent her anger on her.

Just talking and laughing, someone outside reported that Yanbei Palace also sent wine and cakes.

Ren Yaoqi also sent some wine and snacks to Yanbei Prince's Mansion early in the morning, which was regarded as a courtesy, but she did not expect that there would be a gift in return.

Along with the wine and pastries, there was also a letter from Xiao Jinglin.

Ren Yaoqi took the letter and went to the study room before opening it to read it, and after a few glances, she was stunned.

Xiao Jinglin wrote about Ningxia.
