Scheme of the Official Descendant

It was originally expected that the ten ladies selected by the Queen Mother would not arrive in Yunyang City until at least late April, but they didn't want to have arrived in Cangzhou in less than two months after receiving the invitation for the Yun family's daughter's banquet during Ren Yaoqi.

Cangzhou is adjacent to Yingzhou in Yanbei. Ships coming to Yanbei by water generally choose to land in Cangzhou for supplies, or choose to go by land or continue to go north by water.

The ladies were all spoiled and spoiled, and they couldn't stand the rough water any longer, and they didn't want to take a boat anymore, so they traveled by land from Cangzhou to Yunyang City in Yanzhou.

It was only mid-April at this time, and no matter how slow it was to travel from Cangzhou to Yunyang City, it would only take two or three days.

Yanbei has been getting warmer day by day since the Ching Ming Festival. Even Ren Yaoqi, who is always afraid of the cold, has gone to winter clothes and put on spring clothes. However, the wind outside is not small, so when going out, I will add a little bit of heat. A slightly thicker cloak.

On April 17th, Ren Yaoqi was in Li's room, under the eyes of Li and Zhou, embroidering her red hijab stitch by thread, when she heard a few people under the veranda outside. The younger second-class and third-class maids chattered together in a low voice. Although their voices were deliberately lowered, it was still possible to feel their vitality and excitement.

The eldest maid, Que'er, glanced at Nanny Zhou, and quietly walked out. Que'er's temperament is much softer than Xi'er, and she takes more care of the maids who are younger than her. She is afraid that they will make a fuss outside and annoy Zhou Madam and be punished, so she wants to go out and remind those little maids. .

Not long after, Que'er came back with Xi'er.

"Madam, Miss, I heard that the ladies from the capital have already left the city, and many people flocked to the gate of the city to watch the excitement. Now people outside are talking about this." Magpie said as soon as he entered the door .

Xi'er also said: "The servant girl just asked someone to go outside to inquire about it. Those ladies are really able to enter the city today. The Yanbei Palace specially arranged a big courtyard not far from the Palace to accommodate them."

Nanny Zhou hated everyone related to the Empress Dowager Yan, so she said coldly after hearing the words: "I tell the people below to stay in the mansion well. If anyone goes out to watch the fun in private, be careful." Board waiter!"

Unexpectedly, Xi'er and Que'er looked at each other when they heard the words, as if they wanted to say something but didn't know whether to say it or not.

Nanny Zhou frowned: "What? Could it be that someone has already run out?"

Que'er hesitated and said: "The ladies and maids below are not, but the young master seems to have gone..."

Mother Zhou was taken aback when she heard the words, and couldn't help but look at Mrs. Li. The young master that Que'er was referring to was Ren Yihong, the concubine of Ren Shimin. The maids and women below could be taught by Nanny Zhou, but it was not Madam Zhou's turn to take care of Ren Yihong.

Ren Yaoqi was surprised when he heard the words, and couldn't help but raised his head and said, "Did the sixth brother go to the gate of the city to watch the excitement?" Ren Yihong has always been devoted to reading sage books, keeping his ears to the outside world, and not frivolous. He would avoid it from a distance, and he would run to the gate of the city to see the girl?

Mrs. Li also asked suspiciously: "Yihong went too? Didn't he always dislike these excitement?"

Xi'er said: "The young master didn't go by himself, but his classmates from Yunyang Academy came to find him. Young master Meng is also there. But I heard that they didn't go after those rich ladies. We also came with several court officials, one of them was Mr. Pei, who was admired by those talented scholars, and they went to welcome Mr. Pei together."

Ren Yaoqi was still holding the embroidery needle in her hand, but when she heard Xi'er's words, her heart skipped a beat and her hand trembled, the embroidery needle pierced her finger, and she was so frightened that she quickly took her hand away to prevent the blood from staining the unfinished hijab Ominous.

Mrs. Li was staring at her embroidery, and when she saw this, she quickly said, "Why are you so careless? Let me see your hands."

Ren Yaoqi asked Xi'er to come over and tidy up the embroidered basket and take it away, looked at her fingers and said to Li Shi: "It's okay, I just punctured the skin a little, and the blood didn't flow."

Mrs. Li took her hand and looked at it. Maybe it was because the embroidery needle was too thin, and the prick was not deep, and there was no blood. Look at you, you are so big, you can't even hold an embroidery needle steadily, you were not happy to let you come to my room to embroider."

Ren Yaoqi quickly admitted her mistake with a correct attitude. Li Shi is not as dull as when she was in the old house of the Ren family. She talks a lot, but she also likes to chat with her daughter. Ren Yaoqi doesn't know if this is a good situation or not. Bad, anyway, when she hears Li's name, she will get dizzy.

When Mrs. Li finally stopped reading, Ren Yaoqi asked Xi'er, "Which Lord Pei is from the capital?"

Xi'er didn't know much about the court officials in the south, so she thought for a while and said, "I don't know either, but I heard from the young master's servant that Mr. Pei has quite a background and is the emperor's husband."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being a little stunned when he heard this, could it be that Mr. is really here?

Pei Zhiyan did come to Yanbei in his previous life, but Ren Yaoqi did not know when he came. But it's definitely not the same reason as this time, because the Empress Dowager of the previous life never sent anyone to attend the Qianjin Banquet.

Pei Zhiyan is a very important person to Ren Yaoqi.

In the previous life, Ren Yaoqi was his concubine in name. Although the two of them were not actually husband and wife, they had been together for many years and had a deep bond of affection. She had no intention of getting married, and originally thought that she would spend the rest of her life with him. It's just that one day she had a minor illness, and when she woke up groggy again, she returned to when she was ten years old, and all the things in her previous life suddenly seemed like a dream.

Seeing that Ren Yaoqi was absent-minded, Mrs. Li thought she was tired, so she asked her to go back to rest first, and come back after lunch.

Ren Yaoqi really had something in his heart, so he withdrew upon hearing this.

After returning to the West Chamber, Ren Yaoqi thought about it, and sent Apple to find Yuan Dayong to inquire about the news outside.

Ren Yaoqi was getting married in September, and she set the date of marriage between Pingguo and Yuan Dayong in June. When she got married, Yuan Dayong and Pingguo would accompany her to Yanbei Palace as her companions. For this arrangement, the Yuan family is naturally a thousand and one willing, and I have to say that Sister-in-law Yuan's vision is really good.

She also agreed to the marriage between Sydney and Zhu Ruomei, but she let the Zhu family decide the wedding date. Zhu Ruomei has now been promoted to deputy lieutenant. Although her official position is not high, she is also a serious general. The status of Sydney marrying him will naturally be different. Only then did Sydney know why Ren Yaoqi would let her get married a year later, and she couldn't help feeling more grateful in her heart. Finally, the wedding date of Sydney and Zhu Ruomei was also set in June.

Among the big maids around Ren Yaoqi, Pingxia and Qianlan who were newly promoted are still young and not in a hurry to get married, and Sangshen is only fifteen years old and can stay for two more years. If Apple hadn't been spotted by the Yuan family early in the morning, Ren Yaoqi would actually be reluctant to let her marry early.

On this day, Yunyang City was very lively. The people of Yunyang City are very curious about the ladies who came to Yanbei from thousands of miles to participate in the Qianjin Banquet. Although these ladies stayed in the carriage when they entered the city so that they could not see their beauty, they still surrounded the city. Go to the door to watch the excitement.

However, there are quite a few guards in Yunyang City, especially at this time of day, the guards sent out on duty are even more conscientious, so although the crowd watching the excitement can be regarded as a huge crowd, there is nothing wrong with it. However, it is said that some of the ladies were frightened by the hospitable appearance of the people from Yanbei, and they got sick because of the exhaustion of the carriages and horses along the way.

It was lively outside, but the Ren's family in Yunyang City was as usual, because Mother Zhou had given orders early in the morning, no one dared to sneak out to watch the excitement, and everyone was very peaceful.

When it was almost evening, Yuan Dayong hadn't delivered the message yet, but Ren Yihong came back first.

When Ren Yihong came to see Ren Shimin in the inner courtyard, Ren Yaoqi also went to the main room.

When Ren Yaoqi passed, Ren Yihong was talking about today's events with Ren Shimin.

"...There were too many people. My son almost got separated from some of his classmates. Unfortunately, we still haven't seen that Mr. Pei." When Ren Yihong said this, his tone was a little depressed.

Ren Yaoqi interjected, "Which Mr. Pei?"

Ren Yihong looked up at Ren Yaoqi, called his second sister, and then replied, "It's Mr. Pei Zhiyan. I heard that he was demoted for some reason a while ago. This time he himself invited Ying to accompany those ladies to Yanbei. Academy Many people here have read the "Han Mo Zhu" written by him, and they admire him very much, so they heard that he came to Yunyang City, so they wanted to see him."

Naturally, Ren Yaoqi knew about Pei Zhiyan's "Han Mo Zhu". Hanmo is Mr. Pei's characters. Mr. Pei had already read tens of thousands of volumes before taking the No. A few of his friends borrowed it to take a look, and after he became the emperor's teacher, these booklets were spread out somehow, and became the "Han Mo Zhu" among the scholars, and even the scholars in Yanbei came to read it .

It turned out that Mr. Pei really came.

Even though Ren Yaoqi had already made some psychological preparations before, hearing Ren Yihong say this made her mood fluctuate a bit.

Ren Shimin also knew Pei Zhiyan, he said: "I heard that Mr. Pei has a very good relationship with Mr. Xu Shan. When he comes, he will definitely go to Yunyang Academy. It's not like you don't have the chance to meet him, so why be so anxious."

"Why didn't you come today?" Ren Yaoqi couldn't help asking after hearing what Ren Shimin said.

Ren Yihong shook his head: "I heard that an official was ill on the way. After leaving the ship, Mr. Pei proposed to leave with these ladies, and he stayed to take care of the sick adult, so it may take a few days later to arrive in Yunyang. city.” RS
