The Princess of Yanbei Palace is also the old princess. The concubine empress doesn’t like people calling her the concubine, because if she is called Concubine Li, then the opponent who is only half of her rank will become Concubine Yun, and she cannot tell from her name. The gap between the two is gone. Therefore, the concubine empress let people call her the old concubine, while the concubine Yun side is the old lady Yun, who stands in high regard.

There are birthdays every year, and birthdays and birthdays are held every year. It is nothing unusual. It's just that this year seems to be a little different, because the king of Yanbei wrote a decree early in the morning, letting the son of the king of Yanbei, who is in Kyoto, come back to celebrate his birthday.

Xiao Jingkang, the eldest son of the Yanbei Palace, was recruited by the court to Kyoto as a host since he was a child. Since then, he has hardly returned to Yanbei, and even the marriage was handled by the court. This time through Li Taifei's survival, the elder son asked to return to Yanbei, which is really a delight for the people of Yanbei.

Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised when she heard this, because she didn't remember Xiao Shizi coming back to Yanbei at this time in her previous life. And now because of Ningxia, the situation between the imperial court and Yanbei is already very dangerous. Coupled with the entry of the royal mansion, the imperial court will not be afraid to let the tiger return to the mountain when the prince is released? Is it not easy for Shizi to return to Yanbei?

Lei Ting over there just mentioned it in passing, and then chatted with Master Ren San about the book revision this time, and Ren Yaoqi didn't think about it anymore.

After the meal, Ren Yaohua and the Ren Yaoqi sisters went to the side to talk about themselves. Ren Yaohua told Ren Yaoqi about Xiao Qiao's affairs. Ren Yaoqi just reminded Ren Yaohua to pay attention to Xiao Qiao's movements and see if she had any There was contact with people outside, but the rest did not say much.

Ren Yaohua and Lei Ting stayed there until they ran out of dinner before returning home. When they left, they were most reluctant to become Lei Pan'er. There is a pomegranate tree in the backyard of Ren's family that is bearing fruit. Lei Pan'er is directing today. The maid plucked all the pomegranates from that tree. Although the fruit was not very sweet, the little girl had a great time. She also confessed that next year's pomegranates had to be kept for her to pick. Lei Pan'er was smart and lively. No one in the Ren family disliked her. Even the third master gave her the Tian Huangshi flower and bird seal that she had compiled by herself.

Li and Ren Yaoqi personally sent Ren Yaohua out of the second door, and then turned back to the inner courtyard after their carriage drove away. Only when I walked to the Chuihua Gate, I saw Ren Yihong approaching with a stranger.

Seeing Li and Ren Yaoqi, Ren Yihong hurriedly came forward to meet the ceremony. Ren Yihong had also come to see Lei Ting's brother-in-law before, but he was later sent to the outer courtyard to Wenshu by Master Ren San.

"Mother, this is Meng Shilin, a student of my father. My father asked his son to bring him over, saying that he had something to hand over to Brother Shilin." Ren Yihong quickly explained when Li looked at the young man next to him.

Meng Shilin hurriedly saluted the Li family, calling Li family his wife.

Ren Yaoqi also took a look at the young man, and saw that although his appearance was ordinary but very gentle, there was a kind of bookishness between his gestures, and Li and Ren Yaoqi had a calm attitude, but they did not look at him politely. By the time Ren Yaoqi's face was neither humble nor overbearing, he was well-educated. It's just that although the materials on his clothes are not too bad, they seem to have been washed many times and are very old.

"Your surname Meng?" Li smiled kindly at Meng Shilin, and asked casually.

The Meng family is also a big family in Yanbei, and Guo Yujiao's aunt is the current mistress of the Meng family. When Li heard that his surname was Meng, he thought he was a child of the Meng family.

Meng Shilin bowed his head and replied politely: "If you go back to your mother, the students are the children of the Meng family."

Li did not despise him as a member of the Meng family. He still said kindly: "I heard the master mentioned that he has a proud disciple whose surname is Meng. It must be you. Don't stand outside, come in and sit and wait. People go and invite the master."

Meng Shilin hurriedly thanked him, and at this time, Master Ren San came out with a few books. Several people hurriedly bowed to Master Ren San.

Li was not good at staying here, so he took Ren Yaoqi back first.

In the evening, Ren Yaoqi went to ask his parents good night. When he walked to the main room, he just heard Master Ren and Li in the second room talking about Meng Shilin,

Master Ren San asked Li, "You have just met Meng Shilin, what do you think of him?"

Li was stunned when he heard the words, and replied: "I am a child of courtesy."

Ren Shimin nodded in satisfaction: "Not only is he knowledgeable, he is also good at learning, and his handwriting is excellent. I have a lot of students, and his aptitude is the best. It's a pity that he missed Qiu Wei this time and has to do it again. Wait three years." Ren Shimin sighed regretfully at this point.

"Listen to him saying that he is an offshoot of the Meng family?" Li asked.

Ren Shimin nodded: "His relationship with the Meng's aunt is a bit far away. Both his father and his aunt have passed away, and he lives with his aunt. There is no permanent housework. But fortunately, he is a son of the Meng family and can accept it. The care of the clan, otherwise it would not be possible to enter Yunyang Academy."

Clan schools are generally run like large families to facilitate the education of children in the clan. In this situation, Meng Shilin can still receive help from the family every month.

It is rare for the Li family to see Ren Shimin mentioning the family background of his students in such detail, and he couldn't help but tentatively said: "Listening to the master, seems to admire him?"

Ren Shimin readily admitted: "Well, although Meng Shilin's family background is a bit worse, I am not one of those forces. So I want him to be my half son."

Half-son means son-in-law, the third master wants Meng Shilin to be his son-in-law?

Li was taken aback again, and couldn't help asking carefully: "Which daughter does the master want to marry Meng Shilin?"

Master Ren San naturally said, "Which daughter is there? Of course it is Yaoying, who is a good match for her status as a concubine. Yaoyao is still young, so she is not in a hurry!"

Lee: "..."

Master Ren San seemed to forget that Ren Yaoying was younger than Ren Yaoqi.

But Li still breathed a sigh of relief. He let the third master admire Meng Shilin so much and thought he wanted to marry Ren Yaoqi. Although Li didn't mean to look down on Meng Shilin, it didn't mean that she was willing to marry her daughter to a concubine. Fortunately, Master Ren San has not been overwhelmed by his love of talent.

"Yaoying is still in Baihe Town, and her relationship is afraid of asking her mother." Li thought for a while and reminded Master Ren San euphemistically. Master Ren San is a person who loves talents, but the rest of the Ren family may not be. Although Meng Shilin is not a poor student, he is not much better than a poor student. Old lady Ren may not be able to pass that level.

But Master Ren San had a very good impression of Meng Shilin, and he didn't care when he heard the words: "I can still call the shots of a concubine's marriage. You don't have to worry about your mother, I will mention it."

Seeing that Master Ren San had made up his mind, the Li family didn't say anything anymore, except for the son of Mengzi from his family.

After listening to this conversation, Ren Yaoqi shook his head. Master Ren San wanted to marry Ren Yaoying to Meng Shilin. Even if it's just a concubine, it can be a bargaining chip for profit from the second elder of the Ren family. How can he let the third master to toss casually?

However, Ren Shimin was really concerned about this matter. Not a few days after discussing with Li, he personally walked to Baihe Town and discussed with Mrs. Ren about his desire to marry Ren Yaoying to Meng Shilin.

It's just a pity that the old lady Ren was very dissatisfied with Ren Shimin's arrangement, and she vetoed it in one go.

Ren Yaoying became a laughingstock because of her concubine, so the big family in Yanzhou naturally looked down on her at this time, but the old lady Ren had other plans in her heart.

The Ren family now sees that one day is not as good as one day. The Zhuozhou He family, who had been doing business with the Ren family, seems to want to find someone else to cooperate with. The He family makes porcelain. These years, it has been regarded as a relatively large cooperative merchant of the Ren family, and the position of He family in the Zhuozhou business community after several generations of operations is not low. If He Jia had given up business dealings with Ren Jia at this time, it was not just He Jia's business partner that Ren Jia would lose.

Therefore, the old lady Ren wanted to marry the He family and marry Ren Yaoying to the He family elder to fill the house. The eldest son of the He family was the eldest son of the head of the He family. He died the year before, and he had two concubines, three concubines and two concubines under his knees, but the elder He family is almost fifty years old now, better than the old lady Not a few years younger.

The reason why Mrs. Ren fell in love with the He family’s grandfather was that he was the eldest son of the He family. He was the eldest son of the He family when the Patriarch of the He family died, and he had only two concubines and no grandchildren. The old lady Ren wanted to let Ren Yaoying pass by Work hard, if you can have a son, it would be best.

The old lady Ren had told her plan to Master Ren San, and Master Ren San was naturally 11 million unhappy. It doesn't matter if the concubine fills the house for someone, but the son-in-law is older than him, and the third master feels that he can't afford to lose this person. If this marriage is done, he won't even want to raise his head in front of his friends in the future.

In the end, the old lady Ren and the old master Ren San didn't convince anyone, and broke up unhappy.

The old lady Ren had a lot of thoughts, she was afraid that the third master would be difficult to deal with, and finally secretly married Ren Yaoying to his impoverished poor student, and first acted to force the third master to get married with He Jiayi. Master Ren San is one step behind her in this respect compared to the outrageous old lady.

Ren Yaoqi watched coldly, neither interfering nor questioning.

But no one expected that it didn't take long for a major incident in Kyoto. Xiao Shizi was assassinated and seriously injured.
