Scheme of the Official Descendant

It was originally expected that the ten ladies selected by the Queen Mother would not arrive at Yunyang City until the end of April at least. They did not want to receive invitations from the Yun Family Golden Banquet in Ren Yaoqi within two months. Several ladies have already arrived in Cangzhou.

Cangzhou is adjacent to Yingzhou in Yanbei. Ships coming from the north by waterway to Yanzhou generally choose to go ashore in Cangzhou for supply, or choose to go north by land or by water.

The ladies are all spoiled and coddled, and can no longer bear the turbulence of the water, and are reluctant to take a boat, so the journey from Cangzhou to Yunyang City in Yanzhou is overland.

At this time, it was just mid-April, and the journey from Cangzhou to Yunyang City took only two or three days. It is expected that the ladies from Kyoto will arrive by April 18 at the latest.

Yanbei has been getting warmer every day since the Ching Ming Festival. Even Ren Yaoqi, who has always been afraid of the cold, went to winter clothes and put on spring clothes, but the outside wind is not small, so I will add one when I go out. A slightly thicker cloak.

On April 17th, Ren Yaoqi was in Li’s room, under the eyelids of Li and Mother Zhou, embroidering her red hijab stitch by stitch, but heard how many under the porch outside. The younger second-class and third-class maids whispered in one place. Although their voices were deliberately lowered, they still made people feel their vitality and excitement.

The maid Que'er glanced at Mother Zhou and quietly moved out. Que'er's temperament is much softer than Xi'er, and she takes care of the following maids who are younger than her. I am afraid that they will not make any sense out to annoy Grandma Zhou and be punished, so I want to go out and remind those little maids. .

After a while, Que'er returned with Xi'er.

"Madam, young lady, I heard that the ladies from Beijing have already arrived outside the city. Many people have flocked to the city gate to watch the excitement. Now people outside are talking about it." Que'er said as soon as he entered the door. .

Xi'er also said: "The slaves and maidservants just asked to go outside to inquire about them. The ladies can actually enter the city today. The Yanbei Palace specially arranged a large courtyard not far from the palace to settle them."

Mother Zhou was very disgusted with someone related to the Queen Mother Yan, and she said coldly when she heard the words: "Everyone who tells you to stay in the house well, if anyone ran out to watch the fun in private, be careful of me. Waiting on the board!"

I don't want Xi'er and Que'er to look at each other when they heard this, as if they had something to say but didn't know if they should say it.

Mother Zhou frowned: "What? Is it possible that someone has already run out?"

Que'er hesitated and said, "The women and maids below have never been, but the young master seems to have gone..."

Mother Zhou was stunned when she heard the words, she couldn't help looking at Li. The young master in Que'er's mouth was referring to Ren Shimin's concubine, Ren Yihong. The maid underneath, Grandma Zhou, could teach a lesson, but Ren Yihong would not be in charge of Grandma Zhou.

Ren Yaoqi was surprised when he heard the words and couldn't help but raised his head and said: "Sixth brother went to the city gate to watch the excitement?" Ren Yihong has always been devoted to reading sages' books. He does not hear things outside the window, and is not frivolous. If he stays far away, he will avoid it, he will go to the gate of the city to see the girl?

Li also suspiciously said: "Yihong has gone too? Didn't he always dislike the excitement?"

Xi'er said: "The young master didn't go by himself. The classmates in Yunyang Academy came to find him with him. Master Meng is also there. But I heard that they didn't go for the ladies. We also came with several court officials. One of them was an adult with the surname Pei that the scholars and scholars admired very much. They went to welcome Master Pei together."

Ren Yaoqi was still holding the embroidery needle in her hand. Hearing Xi'er's words, her heart beat and her hand shook, and the embroidery needle pierced her finger, scared her to remove her hand quickly, so as not to stain the unfinished hijab with blood. Ominous.

Li was staring at her embroidering, and when he saw it, he said quickly: "Why are you so careless? Come and show me your hands."

Ren Yaoqi asked Xi'er to clean up the embroidery basket and take it away. He looked at his finger and said to Li, "It's okay, it's just a puncture, and no blood flows."

Li took her hand and looked at it, maybe because the embroidery needle was too thin, the piercing was not deep, and there was really no blood, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and could not help but whispered to Ren Yaoqi and said: "You Look at you, such a big person can't even hold the embroidery needles securely. You were not happy to ask you to embroider in my room before."

Ren Yaoqi quickly admitted his mistake with a correct attitude. Li is not as dull as he was in the old house of the Ren family, and talks a lot, but he also likes to nag with his daughter. Ren Yaoqi doesn’t know if the situation is good or not. It's bad, anyway, she will get a big head when she hears Li's reading.

When Li finally stopped reading, Ren Yaoqi asked Xi'er, "Which Master Pei is from Kyoto?"

Xi'er didn't understand the officials of the southern court. After hearing the words, he thought about it and said: "The servants and maids don't know, but I heard from the young master's servant that this master Pei is quite old, and he is the emperor's husband."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being a little stunned when he heard it. Could it be that the husband really came?

Pei Zhiyan had indeed been to Yanbei in the previous life, but Ren Yaoqi did not know when he came. But it is certainly not different from the reason for this time, because the queen mother of the previous life did not send anyone to attend the banquet.

Pei Zhiyan is a very important person to Ren Yaoqi.

In his previous life, Ren Yaoqi was nominally his concubine. Although the two were not married, they had been together for many years and had a deep relationship. She didn't plan to marry, she thought she would stay with him for the rest of the year. It was just that she fell ill one day, and when she woke up again in a drowsy manner, she returned to when she was ten years old.

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

Ren Yaoqi really had something in his heart, so he retreated after hearing this.

After returning to the West Wing, Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, and sent Apple to find Yuan Dayong to inquire about outside news.

Ren Yaoqi married in September. She fixed the date of Apple and Yuan Dayong's marriage in June. When she got married, Yuan Dayong and Apple would go to Yanbei Palace with her as her companion. For this arrangement, the Yuan family is naturally a thousand willing, and I have to say that Sister Yuan's vision is really good.

She also agreed to the marriage between Sydney and Zhu Ruomei. As for the wedding date, she left the Zhu family to decide. Zhu Ruomei has now been promoted to deputy lieutenant. Although the official position is not big, he is also a serious military commander. The identity of Sydney marrying him is naturally different. Only then did Sydney know why Ren Yaoqi would let her marry one year later, and she couldn't help but be more grateful. Finally, the wedding date of Sydney and Zhu Ruomei is also set in June.

Several big maids around Ren Yaoqi, the newly mentioned Pingxia and Qianlan are still young and do not rush to marry, and the mulberry is only fifteen years old and can stay for two years. If Apple hadn't been attracted to the Yuan family early, Ren Yaoqi would actually be reluctant to let her marry early.

On this day, Yunyang City is very lively. The people of Yunyang City were very curious about the ladies who came to Yanbei from thousands of miles to participate in the golden banquet. Although these ladies stayed in the carriage when they entered the city so that they could not see Fangrong, they still surrounded the city. Go to see the excitement at the door.

However, there are many guards in Yunyang City, especially at this time of day. The guards sent out on duty are even more conscientious. Therefore, although the crowd watching the crowds is a crowd of people, nothing goes wrong. However, it is said that some of those young ladies were frightened by the warm and hospitable Yanbei people, and they became ill due to the uncomfortable driving force.

It was lively outside, but the Ren family in Yunyang City was as usual. Because Mother Zhou had given instructions early in the morning, no one dared to sneak out to watch the excitement. They were all peacefully.

Towards the evening, Yuan Dayong hadn't handed over any news, 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 and Ren Shimin were talking about today's affairs.

"...There are too many people, and my son almost got separated with a few classmates, but unfortunately he still didn't see that Mr. Pei." When Ren Yihong said this, his tone was still 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 Master Pei Zhiyan Pei. I heard a while ago that he was demoted for some reason. This time he asked Ying to accompany the young ladies to Yanbei. The Academy Many people here have read the "Han Mo Annotations" written by him and admired them very much, so I heard that he had come to Yunyang City, so I wanted to see it."

Ren Yaoqi naturally knew about Pei Zhiyan's "Han Mo Zhu". Hanmo is the character of Mr. Pei. Before Mr. Pei was tested for the champion, he was already reading ten thousand books. Back then, he liked to read some experience and comments every time he read a book. After years of accumulation, he became a dozen books. A few of his friends borrowed it to take a look. Later, after he became an emperor, these pamphlets somehow spread out and became the "Han Mo Zhu" among the readers. Even the scholars in Yanbei had come to read it. .

It turned out that Mr. Pei was here.

Even though Ren Yaoqi had been mentally prepared before, when he heard Ren Yihong say this, his mood was still a little ups and downs.

Ren Shimin also knew about Pei Zhiyan. He said: "I heard that Mr. Pei has a very good relationship with Xu Shanchang. When he comes, he will definitely go to Yunyang Academy. It's not that you don't have the opportunity to see him, so why bother to do so."

"Why Mr. Didn't arrive today?" Ren Yaoqi could not help but ask when Ren Shimin said so.

Ren Yihong shook his head: "I heard that an official was ill on the road. After leaving the ship and ashore, Mr. Pei proposed to separate from these ladies, and he stayed to take care of the sick adult, so it will probably be a few days later to arrive in Yunyang. City." RS
