Scheme of the Official Descendant

Chapter 194 Old Acquaintance

After Ren Yaoqi returned to the city, she asked Ren Shijia's nanny to help her find some high-quality medicinal materials and tonics, and planned to send them to Lei Pan'er in Lei's village in the name of herself and Ren Yaohua.

Lei Pan'er is still a child, and he doesn't need those nourishing herbs, it's just a matter of etiquette. Ren Yaoqi then borrowed the cook from Ren Shijia's small kitchen and asked her to make a few snacks, and specifically told her to make them more beautiful.

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

In the end, Ren Yaoqi asked the maid, Sangshen, to visit Lei Pan'er for her and Ren Yaohua in the other courtyard of Lei's house with medicinal materials, two rounds of snacks and two jars of candied fruit.

Sangshen told Ren Yaoqi after returning from her visit that Lei Pan'er had woken up and was fine. She didn't know how she fell into the well, she just remembered that she was chasing a flightless bird. Mynah, and then I don’t know anything. Fortunately, after she woke up again, she was already in her own bed, so she was not frightened.

I heard that Sangshen was visited by two elder sisters from the Ren family, and they let Sangshen enter the room to talk. I was very happy to see the snacks and candied fruit brought by Mulberry, and said that I would come to visit my two sisters when I recovered from my injury.

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help feeling happy when she heard that Lei Pan'er still had that lively and eccentric look.

"How about that maid named Yuegui?" Ren Yaoqi asked after thinking about it.

"The maidservant didn't see Yuegui, so she asked the nanny when she came out, and the nanny only said that Yuegui was sent back to Yunyang City by the housekeeper, and she didn't know anything else." Sangshen replied.

Ren Yaoqi thought that although Lei Ting was young and didn't care about the affairs of the inner court, he was not a stupid person. Something happened to Lei Pan'er this time, which should have alerted him to his daughter's situation.

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

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

Ren Yaoqi asked the maid to pick some rulers and bird's nests and send them to Ren Shijia, and let Parsley put away the rest.

There are still three days before the Qianjin Banquet, and there are many noble ladies from other states and counties who came to Yanzhou in Yunyang City.

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

When Ren Yaoqi received the letter, she still thought about replying to make fun of Princess Xiao for being stage fright, but she was stunned when she saw the name of the guest invited by Princess Yanbei.

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

As the highest school in Yanbei, Yunyang Academy, Xu Wanli, the dean, has a very high status in the hearts of scholars in Yanbei, and is the leader of Qingliu.

Xu Wanli was born in the descendants of the Xu family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Xu family and the Pei family were both the heads of the Jiangnan Shilin. Someone once counted on their fingers that in the past three hundred years, there have been a family of prime ministers and cabinet ministers, the Pei family is the first, and the Xu family is the second.

The roots of the Xu family are in the south of the Yangtze River, but this Xu Shanchang refused to be an official in the court after he won the number one scholar in the 35th year of the Qinglong reign of the first emperor, and began to travel around. In the end Xu Wanli came to Yanbei, and somehow became the head of Yanbei Yunyang Academy.

The relationship between Yanbei and the imperial court is delicate, and many of the Xu family's descendants are officials in the imperial court. Xu Yuan, the current chief assistant of the cabinet, is Xu Wanli's cousin. After Xu Wanli came to Yanbei, he never returned to Jiangnan. The Xu family's attitude towards Xu Wanli was also very indifferent, and they kept silent about this son of the Xu family who enjoyed a high reputation in Yanbei.

Ren Yaoqi knew that shortly after Xu Wanli became the head of Yunyang Academy, the Xu family had already removed Xu Wanli from the genealogy, but neither the Xu family nor Xu Wanli made it public, so although outsiders 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 to Yanbei was for his wife Ouyang. This Ouyang family is a remarried woman. She was originally Xu Wanli's elder brother's wife and Xu Wanli's sister-in-law.

Ouyang's husband passed away shortly after marrying into Xu's family. Originally, in such a prestigious family as Xu's family, Ouyang's family could not remarry, but she married her brother-in-law in the end.

The Xu family in the south of the Yangtze River couldn't tolerate such unfilial descendants as Xu Wanli, so Xu Wanli could only bring Ouyang's family to Yanbei. Compared with Jiangnan, Yanbei is much more tolerant of rituals and ethics. In addition, after Xu Wanli came to Yanbei, he was appreciated by the then King of Yanbei Xiao Qishan. In addition, Xu Wanli himself was talented and high-level academically. He gained a firm foothold among Yanbei students.

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

Xu Wanli's relationship with the Xu family is not very good, but he hits it off with his wife and brother-in-law Pei Zhiyan. The two have been friends for many years, and they are close friends, and they often exchange letters on weekdays.

On the second day, Xiao Jinglin really sent someone to take over Yaoqi and go to Yanbei Palace very early.

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

Standing under the eaves and watching for a while, after Xiao Jinglin stopped the momentum, Ren Yaoqi walked over and joked with a smile: "Is the princess nervous?"

Xiao Jinglin was serious: "How come?"

Ren Yaoqi blinked, leaned over and whispered, "It's easy for the Princess to lie to others, but it's hard to lie to me. I know a secret of the Princess."

Xiao Jinglin glanced at her: "What secret?"

"When the princess is nervous, she likes to play with sticks."

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 martial arts, so naturally I can't tell the difference between a stick and a gun. Please don't remember the villain's mistakes."

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

Ren Yaoqi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I don't want it anymore, I'm not expected to practice martial arts."

Xiao Jinglin looked critically at Ren Yaoqi after hearing the words, and even walked around her a few times, then said slowly, "Although I don't have any qualifications, it's not impossible to learn."
