Scheme of the Official Descendant

Chapter 194: Old acquaintance

After Ren Yaoqi returned to the city, the maternal nurse who entrusted Ren Shijia to help her find some good medicinal materials and tonics, and planned to send it to Lei Pan'er in the name of herself and Ren Yaohua to Lei's village.

Lei Pan'er was still a child and didn't need the nourishing medicinal materials, it was just courtesy. Ren Yaoqi borrowed the chef from Ren Shijia's small kitchen and asked her to make a few snacks, and also specifically confessed that she should make them better.

Ren Shijia likes to use dim sum on weekdays. After Sister Wen left, Lin Kun asked someone to find a cook from Jiangnan who was good at making all kinds of dim sum.

Finally, Ren Yaoqi asked the maidservant Mulberry to bring medicinal materials, Liangzazi dim sum, and two jars of candied fruit to Lei's other courtyard to visit Lei Pan'er for her and Ren Yaohua.

After Mulberry came back from the disease, he told Ren Yaoqi that Lei Pan'er had woken up and there was nothing serious about her body. She herself didn't know how she fell into the well, but she only remembered that she was chasing a flying bird. Mynah, then she didn't know anything. Fortunately, after she woke up again, she was already in her bed, so she was not frightened.

I heard that mulberry was condemned by two Ren's sisters to visit her and asked Mulberry to come in and talk. Seeing the snacks and candied fruit brought by the mulberry, he was very happy, and said that he would come to visit the two sisters when he recovered.

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but feel happy when he heard that Lei Pan'er was still alive and agile.

"How about the maid named Yuegui?" Ren Yaoqi thought for a while and asked.

"The slave servant didn't see Yue Gui, and asked the nurse when she came out. The nurse only said that Yue Gui was sent back to Yunyang City by the butler, and she didn't know anything else." Sang Yan replied.

Ren Yaoqi thought that although Lei Ting was young and didn't care about the inner courtyard, he was not a stupid person. This time something happened to Lei Pan'er, which should have made him alert to his daughter's situation.

On the second day, Ren Yaohua sent parsley over, saying that the steward of Lei’s family had sent some valuable rulers, bird’s nest and old ginseng to the other courtyard early in the morning as a gift. The return gift from the Lei family is much more valuable than the one given by Ren Yaoqi.

Because Ren Yaoqi lived in the Lin family, the Lei family sent the things to the Ren family's other courtyard. Ren Yaohua asked Parsley to deliver everything to Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaoqi asked the maid to pick up some rulers and bird's nests and send them to Ren Shijia, and let the parsley collect the rest.

There are still three days to go before the banquet for the daughter, and there are many noble ladies from other prefectures and counties in Yunyang.

Xiao Jinglin sent a letter saying that tomorrow the princess wanted her to play the piano in front of the guests and check and accept the results of her practice these days, so the next morning, someone would come and pick her up to the Yanbei Palace earlier.

When Ren Yaoqi received the letter, he still wanted to reply to make fun of the fact that Princess Xiao would be stage fright, but was stunned when he saw the name of the guest invited by Princess Yanbei.

The wife of Xu Wanli, the head of Yunyang Academy, and the family of Ouyang.

Yunyang Academy is the highest institution in Yanbei. Dean Xu Wanli holds a very high status in the hearts of the scholars in Yanbei, and is the leader of Qingliu.

Xu Wanli was born as a direct branch of the Xu family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Xu family and Pei family are both the heads of the Jiangnan Shilin. Someone once counted with his fingers. In the past three hundred years, he had been out of the prime minister's and cabinet's aristocratic family. Pei's family was the first and Xu's second.

The Xu family's roots are in the south of the Yangtze River. However, the Xu Shan leader refused to enter the court as an official after the first emperor's thirty-five years in Qinglong, and began to travel around. Finally, Xu Wanli came to Yanbei and somehow became the head of the Yanbei Yunyang Academy.

The relationship between Yanbei and the court was delicate, and many of the Xu family's children served as officials in the court. Xu Yuan, the chief minister of the cabinet, is Xu Wanli's cousin. After Xu Wanli came to Yanbei, he never returned to the south of the Yangtze River. The Xu family's attitude towards Xu Wanli was also very indifferent and kept silent about the Xu family's son who enjoyed a high reputation in Yanbei.

Ren Yaoqi knew that shortly after Xu Wanli became the head of the Yunyang Academy, the Xu family had already removed Xu Wanli from the genealogy, but neither the Xu family nor Xu Wanli made the matter known. There are many speculations about the relationship between Xu Wanli and the Xu family, but few people know the truth.

Ren Yaoqi also knew that the reason why Xu Wanli left Jiangnan and came to Yanbei was because of his wife Ouyang. This Ouyang clan is a remarried woman. She was originally the wife of Xu Wanli's elder brother and Xu Wanli's sister-in-law.

Ouyang's husband died shortly after he married into Xu's family. Originally, in a family like Xu's family that valued fame, Ouyang's family could not remarry, but she eventually married her own uncle.

The Xu family in the south of the Yangtze River could not tolerate such unfilial descendants as Xu Wanli. Xu Wanli could only bring Ouyang to Yanbei. Compared with the south of the Yangtze River, Yanbei is much more tolerant of ethics. After Xu Wanli came to Yanbei, he was appreciated by Xiao Qishan, the king of Yanbei. In addition, Xu Wanli himself was talented and had a high academic level. A firm foothold among the Yanbei students.

The reason why Ren Yaoqi knew about this secret of Xu's family was that Xu Wanli and her husband Pei Zhiyan were brothers-in-law. Mr. Pei's wife is also surnamed Ouyang, and is the youngest sister of the Ouyang clan.

The relationship between Xu Wanli and the Xu family is not very good, but they are very close to his wife and brother-in-law Pei Zhiyan. The two have been friends for many years, and they are friends with each other. They often exchange letters on weekdays.

On the second day, Xiao Jinglin sent someone to take over at the Yanbei Palace very early.

When Ren Yaoqi went, Xiao Jinglin was still practicing marksmanship in her yard.

Standing under the eaves for a while, she waited for Xiao Jinglin to regain her power before Ren Yaoqi walked over and laughed and joked, "Is the princess nervous?"

Xiao Jinglin is serious: "How come?"

Ren Yaoqi blinked and leaned over and whispered: "It's easy for the princess to lie to others, but it is difficult to lie to me. I know the princess has a secret."

Xiao Jinglin glanced at her: "What's the secret?"

"The princess likes to play sticks when he is nervous."

Xiao Jinglin was silent for a while: "This is a gun, not a stick!"

Ren Yaoqi smiled: "The princess knows that I don't know how to use martial arts. Naturally, I can't tell the difference between a stick and a gun. Please don't remember the villain as an adult."

Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi for a while, and suddenly said, "Then how about I teach you martial arts?"

Ren Yaoqi was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said, "I don't want it anymore, I'm not a martial artist."

Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi critically when she heard the words, and even circled her a few times, and then slowly said: "Although she has no qualifications, it is not impossible to learn."
