Scheme of the Official Descendant

Xiao Jingxi didn't wear a hood, fine snowflakes covered his black hair, at first glance it gave people the illusion of a red face and white hair, but it made his handsome face even more unstoppable.

"Why are you here?" It took Ren Yaoqi a long time to find the voice, and she couldn't help but glance at Hongying, who was standing behind Xiao Jingxi with her head down expressionlessly, her expression was colder than usual, which made Ren Yaoqi a little strange.

"I can't come?" Xiao Jingxi asked back with a smile. I don't know if it was Ren Yaoqi's illusion, but the Second Young Master Xiao said this sentence with a bit of grievance.

"I thought it was Jinglin..."

Xiao Jingxi smiled, and also took a look at Hongying: "She is Nan Xing, not Hongying."

Ren Yaoqi was very surprised when she heard the words, and looked at "Hongying" a few more times: "Is it Hongying's sister? They really look alike." No wonder Ren Yaoqi felt that today's Hongying was more reticent and cold than usual. In terms of appearance, the two of them were almost identical, so she would admit their mistake.

Nan Xing came forward to salute again: "Slave Nan Xing, I have met Miss Ren San." This time Nan Xing's expression suddenly changed slightly, his facial expression suddenly softened a lot, and there was even a smile on his face.

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being stunned, because there was almost no difference between this Nan Xing and the usual Hongying, if Nan Xing had always looked like this just now, she would definitely not be able to see the slightest difference.

"See it now?" Xiao Jingxi blinked slowly, with an innocent expression on his face.

After Ren Yaoqi came to his senses, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth secretly. What Xiao Jingxi meant was that he didn't deliberately ask Nan Xing to pretend to be Hongying to trick Ren Yaoqi here, although Nan Xing really wanted to pretend to be Hongying. Ren Yaoqi didn't recognize it because of her poor eyesight.

Thinking about it carefully, Nan Xing did not say that he was Hongying, and when he invited her, he said that the master was inviting her, not the princess. Ren Yaoqi was a little annoyed, she was really a little drunk after drinking some wine, and she didn't notice these details. But it was also because Hongying belonged to Xiao Jinglin that she relaxed her vigilance.

Just seeing Xiao Jingxi's current expression made her teeth itch with hatred.

When Xiao Jingxi saw Ren Yaoqi staring at him, he knew that Ren Yaoqi was angry. Afraid that she would just turn her head and walk away, she took a step forward calmly, lowered her head and said in a low voice: "It's cold after standing for a long time, go How about a walk in the woods?"

Although after getting to know Xiao Jingxi slowly, Ren Yaoqi knew that he was probably trying to gain sympathy by saying this, but she still nodded when she saw the snowflakes on Xiao Jingxi's head.

Xiao Jingxi smiled, and the "Red Fen Churui, Ruixue Silver Dress" that was full of forests in an instant was not as good as the brilliance he exuded in that instant.

Ren Yaoqi bowed her head and thought silently, she seemed to understand the meaning of Xiao Jinglin's "beautiful beauty is a disaster".

The two walked side by side towards the Mei Linli, Nan Xing and the two servant girls followed from afar knowingly.

After walking for a while, Ren Yaoqi found out that the Meilin was very quiet, there was no one else but them, presumably Xiao Jingxi had made arrangements before.

She turned her head and was about to speak, but found that Xiao Jingxi's gaze was still on her face, seeing that she had looked over and did not turn away, her heart beat fast, feeling that the previous alcoholism was getting more and more on her face.

"What should you do if you're wet?" Ren Yaoqi turned her head and said.

Xiao Jingxi may have waited for her for a while before his head was covered with snowflakes. It was not easy for Ren Yaoqi to ask in front of the maids, she was a little afraid that he would catch a cold.

There was a little smile in Xiao Jingxi's voice: "It's okay." Then he didn't know how he moved, the snowflakes on his head fell down at that moment, and the black hair was really not there. Not the slightest bit wet.

Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a moment, she looked at Xiao Jingxi who was calm and composed, she remembered something, and then suddenly smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Jingxi turned his head and asked.

Ren Yaoqi held back a smile and shook her head.

She remembered that the words she satirized Xiao Jingxi in her letter last time were softer and weaker than Xiao Jinglin's. Was Xiao Jingxi showing off to her just now to prove that he was not as "weak" as he appeared on the surface? But Ren Yaoqi knew that it was hard to say this in front of Xiao Jingxi, so she still wanted to save some embarrassment for Xiao Jingxi.

It's just that Xiao Jingxi came to understand when he saw the teasing smile on Ren Yaoqi's face. Although he still looked nonchalant on the surface, the roots of his ears were a little red.

"Why are you here?" Ren Yaoqi asked him again when he saw that he had stopped talking.

At this time they had just turned a corner, Nan Xing and the others hadn't followed up, Xiao Jingxi stopped and spread his palms in front of Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised, but when he lowered his head, he found that there was a red bean in the palm of Xiao Jingxi's hand. Meeting Xiao Jingxi's gentle eyes with a smile on his face, Ren Yaoqi also blushed, and was about to He took back the red bean from Xiao Jingxi's hand, but Xiao Jingxi grabbed it just as he stretched out his hand.

Ren Yaoqi's hand moved, but she didn't pull it out. She couldn't help but stare at him, a little annoyed: "You..."

Nan Xing, who was about to follow the turn, moved his ears, glanced at the other two servant girls, and stopped walking.

Mulberry glanced at Nan Xing, and subconsciously stopped in her tracks, but Apple still wanted to follow, and Nan Xing grabbed her arm. Apple looked at Nan Xing inexplicably, and Nan Xing also looked at her but didn't say anything, so the two stood there staring at each other.

"Is there any reason to take back the things you gave away?" Xiao Jingxi whispered while holding Ren Yaoqi's hand firmly in his own under the cover of his sleeves.

The fiery touch of the palm made half of Ren Yaoqi's arm hot, hotter than the other hand holding the small heater. She was about to break free, but Xiao Jingxi let go of her hand.

Ren Yaoqi lowered her head and retracted her hands, holding her own stove tightly with both hands.

"I came here after reading the letter." Xiao Jingxi whispered.

Ren Yaoqi: "..."

Fearing that Ren Yaoqi would become angry, Xiao Jingxi frowned and continued walking. Ren Yaoqi also followed.

The two of them walked slowly in the Merlin like this, without speaking, only the "creak" sound of their boots on the snow was around them, but they felt a sense of peace and tranquility in their hearts.

She didn't know how long she had been walking, Ren Yaoqi looked at the road, and said in a low voice, "Go back." She was afraid that she had been out for too long, and someone would come looking for her, even though she knew that Xiao Jingxi must have sent people around Watch it, it's not good to stay outside for too long.

Although Xiao Jingxi wanted to go on like this with her until the end, but he also understood what Ren Yaoqi was thinking, so he nodded and replied with a smile: "Okay."

The two found another way to go back.

"The things in the south are probably over." Xiao Jingxi said suddenly.

Ren Yaoqi was stunned before realizing that Xiao Jingxi was talking about the Ren family's property in the south.

"It's really fast." Ren Yaoqi sighed without any emotion.

The Ren family's property in the south of the Yangtze River is almost half of the Ren family's property, but it was swallowed up by others in just a few months. No wonder Ren Yaoqi heard that Mrs. Ren has recently become busy due to illness. They don't listen.

"Did the Han family do it?" Ren Yaoqi asked, remembering what Han Yunqian said last time.

Xiao Jingxi nodded: "Yeah." After a pause, he added, "It's Han Jiajing's hand."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, and teased: "You have become more and more proficient in doing business without capital."

Although being despised, Xiao Jingxi was not annoyed, and smiled at Ren Yaoqi: "You promised me this."

Ren Yaoqi cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Jingxi, and did not argue with him anymore. Compared with thick skin, she was willing to bow down.

"I'm afraid there will be some turmoil in the Ren family in the future." Even though he knew that Ren Yaoqi was not afraid, Xiao Jingxi comforted him, "But don't worry, your father will be officially appointed by Yunyang Academy. It will not be so easy for the Ren family to control your house."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

There are many teachers in Yunyang Academy, but not all of them are officially appointed, because being officially appointed is equivalent to having an official position, and they are under the control of the Yanbei Prince's Mansion, and they are no longer in charge of Yunyang Academy. It is the salary of the Yanbei Palace, which is the difference between a white body and an official body.

If the third master Ren received the official appointment from the Yanbei Palace, it would really not be so easy for the Ren family to control the third house as before.

In this era, the clan's control over the clan is absolute, and the laws of the court are not as binding as the clan's patriarchal law. Especially in Jiangnan, a word from the patriarch of a big clan is more useful than a parent's official.

It's just that in Yanbei, due to some historical reasons, the clans of Yanbei have relatively weak control over the clansmen, especially in Yanzhou where the Yanbei Palace is located, no family dares to compete with the Yanbei Palace and the decrees issued by the Yanbei Palace. Challenging.

Decades ago, when Yanbei was out of the control of the Liao people, several aristocratic families relied on their deep roots in Yanbei and wanted to override the family law above the law, but they were silently wiped out by the old prince Xiao Qishan Since then, there has never been a "stab head" among the aristocratic families in Yanbei.

If the third master Ren has an official status, then he and the Yanbei Palace are monarchs and ministers. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. It is absolutely impossible for the Ren family to cross the Yanbei Palace and control the third master Ren. The master also has a certain degree of freedom in handling housework.

It's just that it's not easy to receive a formal appointment from the Yanbei Palace. After being appointed, you will have a seventh-rank official position in the imperial court, so there has always been a limit on the number of people.

Generally speaking, it is necessary to have at least ten years of teaching experience and certain academic achievements. Third Master Ren is young, and he has just arrived at Yunyang Academy not long ago. There are many people who are more qualified than him, so it may be difficult to convince the public.

The chapter I coded last night was not sent out due to some reasons, please forgive me~

There will be more in the evening.
