Scheme of the Official Descendant

Yun Wenfang took a sip from Yun Wenting's hip flask, without speaking.

Yun Wenting knew that he had acquiesced, so he pressed his brows and fell silent.

The two sat in silence for a while, and Yun Wenfang suddenly said, "What do you want most?" Although he had already drunk a lot, Yun Wenfang was unexpectedly quiet when he asked these words.

Yun Wenting did not answer, and Yun Wenfang did not ask a second time.

I don’t know how long it took. When Yun Wenfang drank himself so much that he was about to lose his mind, he heard someone sing beside him in a low voice with the beat: "Three winters come from the north, nine summers do not return to the south, although Qingxi Depressed, white snow is still white, low scabs blowing in the evening, sunset in the distant mountains..."

Yun Wenfang thought for a long time before remembering that this is a folk song near Jiajing Pass, and the Yanbei soldiers who guarded the border would sing it. He listened in silence for a long time, and finally he couldn't tell whether Yun Wenting sang this song or the voice he sang in his heart.

After drinking the last drop of wine, Yunwen pulled the corners of his mouth and whispered something in a low voice. I don’t know if he drank too much or didn’t say aloud. No one heard clearly what he was saying. , It seems just like a sneer in the past.

After dawn, Yun Wenfang and Yun Wenting returned to Yun's house.

This time Yun Wenfang’s father asked for the Yun family’s family law and tied Yun Wen to the bench outside the Yun family ancestral hall. He beat him half to death, and Yun Wen’s blood was soaked in execution. If it weren’t for Yun Wenting, the elder of the Yun family’s soles, to invite Mrs. Yun to intercede, Yun Wen’s fate might have to be confessed here.

But no matter how the Yun family punishes Yun Wenfang, one of Yun Qiuchen’s ears, the eldest of the Yun family, can’t be healed, not to mention that the two brothers and sisters stripped the Yun family's face clean in front of so many people. The shame is that it cannot be made up anyway.

The Yun family was busy closing the door to clean the door, but the golden banquet at the Hot Spring Villa was going on. Although the original host Yun family had no one left, after Yun Qiuchen’s accident, the Yun family second lady and the Yun family third The young ladies were also picked up. The Yun family was so embarrassed this time that they really didn't have the mood to stay in the hot spring villa and be watched by others.

However, for the daughter's banquet on the second day, to everyone's surprise, Princess Yun, who had originally thought she would not attend, sat on the high platform with the support of the princess, and fought against the old princess.

Concubine Yun has never liked to join in this kind of excitement, nor does she like to appear on the same occasion with the old princess, especially since she was ill yesterday, and now she looks a little pale.

However, even though Princess Yun had a sick look on her face, she was still dressed plainly, and she did not appear humble when she was standing with the old princess. On the contrary, in terms of momentum and temperament, the old princess may not be as good as Princess Yun.

When Princess Yun walked in front of the old princess, she nodded slightly as a greeting, and then went to her seat and sat down.

The old princess was very uncomfortable with Yun Taifei's attitude, especially Yun Taifei refused to salute her in front of so many people, which made her very embarrassed. How can she say that she is also higher in the position. Half order.

"Sure enough, it's not that once a family enters a house, I'm afraid that I don't know how to write the words courtesy, justice, integrity, and shame." The old princess said with a calm face.

She said this intent to imply the matter of Yun Qiuchen and Yun Wenfang. Yesterday's affairs were so big that the old princess was also in the hot spring villa, so she naturally heard of it. She even scolded Concubine Yun in these words, accusing them that the Yun family did not understand manners.

After hearing this, Princess Yun glanced at the old concubine: "Are you talking about me?"

The old princess snorted coldly, and the meaning was self-evident.

Concubine Yun nodded her head without thinking, "You accuse him so much that the prince is not in the house for three days or two, and there is no way to ask you for peace. I really don't understand etiquette. This is because I didn't teach it well."

The old princess looked even more ugly after hearing this.

She clearly said that it was the Yun family, but Princess Yun was involved in the prince, as if she was afraid that others would not know that the current King Yanbei came out of her, and she was the same family.

If it were in ordinary people's house, the concubine's room had to recognize the concubine as the mother even after giving birth. Unfortunately, because of the bad debt between Yanbei and the court, Strictly speaking, Concubine Yun was not actually a concubine's room.

At that time, Princess Yun and Lao Yanbei Wang had three media and six recruits. If there were no imperial courts, Yun Taifei would be Lao Yanbei’s decent aunt. Therefore, the court originally gave Princess Yun to appease the Xiao family. It was also granted a mandate, and therefore, the king of Yanbei and the princess still called Taifei Yun as their mother, and brothers and sisters Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin also called Taifei Yun's grandmother.

The so-called beating people without slaps, revealing people without revealing shortcomings, but Princess Yun caught the old princess's injuries and stepped on her to death. Everyone knows that the biggest unwillingness of the princess in her life is not giving birth to a son. An awkward situation.

The old princess and Yun Tai concubine the two of them. The princess did not mix. She sat in her place and greeted Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi to come over, and whispered them something.

However, the scene of the tension between the old princess and the concubine Yun fell into the eyes of those present.

The people who were still gloating at the Yun family saw Taifei Yun appear on stage, and the confrontation with the old princess did not let the wind down, and the thought of waiting for the jokes in my heart faded a lot. They saw Concubine Yun facing the old princess with a calm posture, and then looked at the princess who was also born in the Yun family, they couldn't help but think that as long as the concubine Yun and the princess were still there, the Yun family would not really fall down. .

Concubine Yun sat on the head, watching the expressions of everyone in the audience, silently lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

Although Ren Yaoqi was listening to the princess, he also secretly paid attention to the surrounding movement. She seemed to understand why Princess Yun appeared here.

Concubine Yun was here to give the Yun family a face, and even this open and secret fight with the old princess was to achieve this goal, and the old princess was taken advantage of by the princess Yun.

Obviously, Yun Taifei's move had a good effect, and the people who wanted to deal with the Yun family had to converge after seeing this scene, and carefully weighed them.

Concubine Yun took it as soon as she saw her well, and stopped taking care of her after she met with the old princess and won.

Speaking of Concubine Yun’s feelings for the Yun family is deeper than the princess’s feelings for the Yun family. The current head of the Yun family is the elder brother of the concubine Yun. The princess’s parents have died young, and the head of the Yun family is her uncle. Floor.

The judges invited for this year's banquet were similar to those of the previous one. They were still led by Mrs. Xu's Ouyang clan. They also came up after the old princess, concubine Yun and princess took their seats.

The princess instructed Ren Yaoqi: "Wait a moment, you will sit with Mrs. Xu and others."

Ren Yaoqi was a little puzzled upon hearing this.

The princess said: "You don't have to go out to compare with them. Today you rate them like Mr. Ouyang."

Ren Yaoqi was stunned, and declined: "Wang Hao, I'm still young, I'm afraid I can't convince the crowd."

The princess made a rare face and educates Ren Yaoqi in a low voice: "Remember, this is Yanbei. If anyone dares to be unconvinced on their own home, let them talk to our Yanbei Army. !"

Xiao Jinglin added silently next to her: "Mother means that it is other people's business that others do not accept it, and it is purely a beating if they are really obtrusive!"

After a pause, Xiao Jinglin added another sentence, "This is what Dad said, it's all the same anyway."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being amused when he heard the words. The little pressure before was gone. She nodded: "I see, Princess."

The princess patted her hand, Ren Yaoqi got up and went to Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu was talking with several other ladies who had been invited to be judges. Seeing Ren Yaoqi had come, she pointed to her side. : "Come, sit here." The princess must have passed the anger with Madam Xu before, so it is not surprising to see Ren Yaoqi here.

Ren Yaoqi walked over to Madam Xu and sat down. The other ladies also smiled friendly at Ren Yaoqi when they saw it, and no one showed her a look.

The people below were surprised to see Ren Yaoqi sitting at Mrs. Xu and the others, and they began to whisper to the left and right. The old princess and concubine Yun also looked over here.

But Concubine Yun glanced at her and turned her eyes away without saying anything. The old princess didn't care much about Qianjinyan and didn't say much at this moment.

The daughter-in-law banquet was still hosted by Mrs. Xu. She explained the rules of today's competition in detail. In fact, the ladies in Yanbei knew this. Mrs. Xu mainly explained the ten ladies from afar.

Ren Yaoqi glanced down casually, and saw Yan Ningshuang sitting first on the right. Although Yan Ningshuang was terribly frightened by the silly girl yesterday, she still came today. There was a magenta swarm, and the meticulous outfit made her see no discomfort, but it was so strong.

Yan Ningshuang's gaze seemed to have been on Ren Yaoqi's body all the time, so Ren Yaoqi's gaze caught her casually. Ren Yaoqi nodded politely at her, then looked away.

When Mrs. Xu finished introducing the rules and asked these young ladies if they still have anything to ask, someone said: "When we came, I heard that the gentlemen at the dinner were all admirable elders with both ability and integrity?"

It was a lady named Lu from the imperial court. Although she spoke very tactfully, her gaze swept towards Ren Yaoqi who was sitting among the gentlemen. It was self-evident.

Mrs. Xu smiled: "I dare not say that I have both ability and political integrity, but they all have their own strengths. As for the "admirable elders"... I think age is not the most important thing. You are more than talents. It’s not like qualifications. Those who can be a teacher take it as a teacher, this is the way to learn."

"Mr. Xu has a point, but I don't know what this Miss Ren is good at?" Miss Lu asked unrelentingly as she became the first bird today.

Mrs. Xu didn’t answer positively, she just smiled and said, “Shaoan, you will know what she is good at soon.” After saying this, Mrs. Xu sat back again. Miss Lu saw that Mrs. Xu had gone. I can only give it up, thinking that Mrs. Xu's words must be an excuse to fool them.

Ren Yaoqi sighed. She had a hunch that sitting on it would not be easier than sitting down.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the competition, there was a smell of gunpowder smoke on the court, and most of them came for Ren Yaoqi.

The ladies from the imperial court and Yanbei alternately appeared on the stage. In the courtesy of giving priority to guests, people from the imperial court came first, and the first one to appear was Miss Lu, who had acted as an early bird.

Miss Lu looked good, got up and graciously blessed everyone, and then came to the center of the field. What she is showing today is the piano art, and a maid has already set up the piano case and yaoqin, waiting for her to play.

Miss Lu burned the incense to clean her hands, sat down upright, and surprised everyone when she raised her hand to play the piano.

I have to say that this Miss Lu’s piano art is extremely good, her posture is beautiful, and her soft tone is melodious, making it impossible to find mistakes from a technical or emotional perspective. Even the gentlemen on the stage patted and nodded. When she finished the song, everyone felt unfinished.

Miss Lu stood up, and before the gentlemen on the stage spoke and gave instructions, she said: "Students are not talented, I would like to ask Mr. Ren for advice."

Although her voice was not loud, it made everyone on and off the stage heard it clearly, and the voice of "Mr. Ren" was unprovoked. The scene couldn't help being quiet, and almost everyone's eyes turned to Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaoqi looked at Ms. Lu, who was looking at her humbly, and smiled: "Mr. Xu and Mr. Li are both master-level figures in piano skills. Ms. Lu should still ask the two gentlemen for advice."

Miss Lu also smiled, but she watched Ren Yaoqi not speak or move.

At this time, the princess sitting in the middle said: "Since Miss Lu insists, you can say something casually in Yaoqi."

Mrs. Xu also smiled and nodded towards Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaoqi no longer declined, and while thinking about the wording, he said: "Miss Lu played the ancient song "Jiuyi" that has been lost?"

Miss Lu was stunned when she heard the words, and nodded: "Yes, I found this from a broken score book, but it's a pity that the original song is already incomplete, and I repaired the latter half."

Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that before the Yaoqi period, I was also helping me sort out some precious pieces of ancient music, including one "Jiuyi"."

Miss Lu glanced at Ren Yaoqi, a little surprised.

These selected ladies all have their own strengths. What she is good at is the piano. Looking at the entire Kyoto piano art, there are few better than her. With her qualifications, it was a little difficult to edit the scores. She didn't trust her. Yaoqi can do it.

"I wonder if I will be fortunate enough to hear Mr. Ren play a piece?"

Ren Yaoqi smiled, not picking up her stubbornness, but saying: "Ms. Lu has ever suffered an injury to her left wrist?"

"How did Miss Ren know?" Miss Lu couldn't help but her eyes widened. When she was young, her left wrist was accidentally scratched by a hairpin, almost hurting her meridians.

Ren Yaoqi said: "When you are stroking the piano, the fingers of your left hand dare not use too much force. Although you can use proficient techniques to cover it up, the sound of the piano will inevitably have a sense of stagnation."

Miss Lu couldn't help frowning and said, "This is impossible! I always pay attention when I play the piano."

Ren Yaoqi did not refute, but just nodded following her words and said with a smile: "Miss Lu is very careful. It is said that the sound of the piano is the voice of the person who plays the piano, so I heard you saying in your heart that you are afraid. My hand hurts. If it weren't for Miss Lu to play the piano too well, I wouldn't know it."

As soon as Ren Yaoqi finished speaking, everyone present laughed, and even Miss Lu curled her mouth in embarrassment. She injured her wrist and was forced to practice the piano by her aunt, in order to stand out among the many sisters and make her face. Later, the injury on her hand healed, but the pain she suffered was recorded by the body, so that her wrist would heal tomorrow morning, but she still felt pain. Later, when she was successful in learning, she began to work hard to overcome this weakness, not wanting to be pointed out today.

Then Mrs. Xu and Mr. Li also gave a few pointers to Miss Lu. At this moment, Miss Lu had lost her previous arrogance and listened carefully to the opinions of others, and then sat back to herself without saying a word. s position.

When Ren Yaoqi sat down, Xiao Jinglin gestured to her with a thumbs behind her back. Although she was still sitting with a noble and cold eye on her face, Ren Yaoqi looked at it and found it very pleasant.

The next one was Miss Meng's family. She was originally planning to play the piano, but after the former Miss Meng Zhuyu heard about it, she felt that she had no confidence that she could compare to Miss Lu, so she temporarily changed to a flute. She played the flute pretty well, but she seemed a little nervous, so some couldn't catch her breath and blew two notes. Fortunately, she insisted on playing the tune at the end.

No one of Yanbei's ladies dared to arrogantly name "Mr. Ren" for enlightenment, so in the end several gentlemen commented and encouraged her.

The third person to appear was a Miss Zhou from Kyoto. Miss Zhou was good at calligraphy. She let people hang a piece of white silk in the field, and then started work on the white silk with both hands to write "Fu, Lu" in various fonts. "Shou" these three words. But the time of a cup of tea, the four-foot-square white silk cloth has been covered with egg-sized "Fu, Lu, and Shou" on both sides of her. The font of each word is different, which aroused everyone's exclamation. . Everyone's face is "looks like a great".

Ms. Zhou didn't seem to like to talk very much. After putting down the pen, she pursed her lips, and just bowed her head and said: "Mr. Wang Ren is willing to give me advice."

Everyone's attention was focused on Ren Yaoqi again.

Many people have the mentality of gloating and watching the excitement. Who can't understand now? The ladies from the court all ganged up and wanted to get through with Ren Yaoqi, so they all went with her.

Ren Yaoqi had already expected this situation when Miss Lu stood up and asked her to "point out". She glanced at the princess and Mrs. Xu, and stood up again when she saw that they were silent.

No matter how bitter Ren Yaoqi smiled in her heart, she still calmly appreciated the words sent by Miss Zhou, thought for a while, and said, "Ms. Zhou usually practices beauty?"

Miss Zhou glanced at her and nodded: "Yes."

Ren Yaoqi frowned and said: "Yan and body care about aura, but they are both strong and soft. Miss Zhou's calligraphy is beautiful, but because of too many tricks, it will be a little messy. If she can return to the original, Miss Zhou will be great. Profitable."

Miss Zhou bit her lip and lowered her head. She knew that Ren Yaoqi was right, and she didn't want to practice these fancy things all day, but the queen dowagers and women in the palace liked them.

Someone said below: "Mr. Ren said it very well, but there is a saying that the mouth style is not as good as the real style. I don't know how Miss Ren's words are written?"

Although Miss Zhou did not speak, she also glanced at Ren Yaoqi.

In fact, people who know how to appreciate calligraphy and painting may not be able to make good works themselves, just as a gourmet is not necessarily a cook.

Princess Xiao glanced at Hong Ying, who quickly touched and held his pen and ink in front of Ren Yaoqi, saying in a serious manner: "Mr. Ren, please give me the words."

Ren Yaoqi: "..."

Fortunately, Ren Yaoqi is not an awkward person. He picked up the pen and wrote the three words "Fu, Lu, and Shou" without any fancy body. When he put it together with Miss Zhou's white silk. The people booing below are quiet.

Ren Yaoqi's talent in calligraphy and painting was even her husband Pei Zhiyan sighed at the beginning, and she was willing to work hard to practice, and naturally she was able to get hold of it.

Ren Yaoqi also understood at this moment that the daughter of Yanjinyan North Palace did not want to lose.

However, carefully selected some people to blatantly win these Beijing girls from afar, it seems that the Yanbei Palace has no demeanor. After all, the golden feast is not a dragon boat race, and the ladies are not rough-skinned men.

So how can we defeat these young ladies sent by the Queen Mother one by one, while still downplaying the mighty domineering?

So Ren Yaoqi turned into Mr. Ren.

The princess asked her to sit here with Mr. Xu not for her to avoid the limelight, but for her to steal the limelight. She still used a one-to-ten attack.

No wonder Xiao Jingxi said that she was not afraid that she won and offended the queen mother.

It is not a big deal for her to be a "sir" to win over a group of students. Not only slapped the queen mother in the face but also kept the Yanbei Palace's grand and domineering stance, earning no loss.

Ren Yaoqi glanced at the ladies who were eager for their stunts off the court, and wanted to learn from Xiao Jinglin, and rolled an elegant eye.

Since Ren Yaoqi is the main force in frustrating these ladies, the other Yanbei ladies off the court are all here to accompany the prince to study and walk through the stage. Although overall they are pretty good, they are not too outstanding, I want to come Yan Bei still gave the Queen Mother a bit of face.

The third court lady came to play tricks. Ren Yaoqi also saw tricks at the last wedding banquet. In fact, the women competed for so many talents, and they couldn't change too many tricks.

This young lady's tricks became better than that of Miss Guo at the last daughter-in-law banquet. She saw ten small wine worms appeared on her ten fingers, shaking her hands tremblingly against her delicate fingers. Go up, as if the wind will blow.
