Chapter 113:

The warm wind swayed the flowers and plants in the courtyard gently, the bees and butterflies flew among the branches and leaves, and the breath of recent summer was blowing in this small courtyard.
Ren Yaoqi heard this sentence from Xiao Jingxi, but she soon said: "The Han family once discussed with the Ren family on the joint salt farm, but for various reasons it was not completed. I heard that the Su family and Yun The family is also competing for the salt field in Xining. The Su family showed closeness to the Han family this time. Could it be because of the few salt wells in the hands of the Han family?"
Xiao Jingxi walked slowly to Ren Yaoqi, looked at her thoughtfully, and sighed: "Miss Ren Wu, do you know where the salt well in the Han family's hands comes from?"
Ren Yaoqi's heart moved upon hearing this, and frowned, "Could it be the Yanbei Palace..."
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi silent.
Ren Yaoqi looked down, stroked his fingers between the branches and leaves of the magnolia plant beside him, pondering in his heart.
After learning about the relationship between the Han family and the Yanbei Palace, she also guessed that the salt farm in the hands of the Han family had something to do with the Yanbei Palace.
But now Xiao Jingxi deliberately mentioned this matter to her, is there any other purpose for the salt well in the hands of the Han family?
At the beginning, she planned to involve the Su family. In addition to the marriage of the Han family and the Ren family, she also wanted to explore the way through the Su family’s intervention, so as to understand the use of the Han family to the Yanbei Palace. Think about the countermeasures.
"I confessed to the second son last time that I have doubts about the Han family, so I am just not optimistic about the cooperation between the Han family and the Ren family." Ren Yaoqi raised her head quickly and said frankly to Xiao Jingxi.
Xiao Jingxi's gaze turned away from Ren Yaoqi's thin white jade fingers reflected in the fresh branches and leaves, and met her clear eyes.
"So Miss Ren Renwu designed the Su family?" The appreciation in Xiao Jingxi's eyes did not hide.
Ren Yaoqi smiled suddenly: "If I said that this incident was just a coincidence, and I didn't do anything, I don't know if the second son believes it or not?"
Xiao Jingxi chuckled lightly, then shook his head solemnly: "I don't believe it."
Ren Yaoqi smiled quietly.
Xiao Jingxi sighed, "Miss Ren Wu is very thoughtful and a good method. But have you ever thought that what you did might disrupt the plans of the Yanbei Palace?"
Ren Yaoqi frowned and wondered: "What's the plan of the Yanbei Palace? It is related to the Su family's intervention in the salt well of the Han family?"
Xiao Jingxi pondered for a moment: "Originally, the Su family and the Yun family are bound to win Xining's saltworks. You let the Su family and the Han family cooperate at this time, which is equivalent to indirectly helping the Su family and letting the Yun family out early?"
Xiao Jingxi mentioned the Yun family...
Ren Yaoqi's thoughts continued to flip in his mind.
She also knew about the grievances between the Yun family and the Su family. She thought that disagreeing between the Yun family, who represented the old family, and the Su family, who represented the famous and upstart, was a means by the Yanbei Palace to check and balance the forces of both sides. The two old princesses of the Yanbei Palace just made the contradiction between the Su family and the Yun family irreconcilable.
And the Han family, hidden in the dark by the Yanbei Palace...
Suddenly, Ren Yaoqi had an idea, and he was surprised.
Could it be that the Yanbei Palace is already dissatisfied with the results of the Yun Family and Su Family's mutual containment, so it wants to break this situation, and the Han Family is the that the Yanbei Palace secretly cultivates to break the balance between the two?
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but sweat. If this is the case, the Han family would be of great use to Yanbei Palace.
But why does the Yanbei Prince's Mansion suddenly want to break the checks and balances that the old Yanbei Prince deliberately arranged to stabilize the situation in Yanbei?
Ren Yaoqi's thoughts were farther away. She thought of the situation after Yanbei in the previous life. Young Master Su married Zeng Yun's niece, and the attitude of the Su family between the Zeng family and the Yanbei Palace began to be ambiguous.
Could it be that the Yanbei Palace has actually been aware of the Su Family's changes?
Although Ren Yaoqi was thinking this way, she was just guessing, not sure that her guess was correct.
So she said to Xiao Jingxi: "The second son said before that the Su family and the Han family were cooperating at this time, which would let the Yun family go out early, disrupting the balance between the Yun family and the Su family, and even disrupting the Yan family. The plan of the Northern Palace'... Isn't the timing of the Su Family and the Han Family cooperating at the right time? If it is later, the Yanbei Palace would not be afraid to break the balance between the Yun Family and the Su Family?" Is it that the Yanbei Palace is not ready yet? Ren Yaoqi didn't say this sentence explicitly, it was just an implicit hint.
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi with a stunned expression, and almost choked on him.
How did Ren Yaoqi come to this conclusion from his words and phrases? He thought it was a bit weird.
The girl in front of her wore a light purple short skirt, and the goose yellow dress was as long as the upper of her feet, making her look slim. Although he is still young, his facial features are already showing beautiful embryonic forms. The most peculiar thing is that she has a unique temperament on her body, which makes people unable to help but want to explore.
Ren Yaoqi may not be the most beautiful woman Xiao Jingxi has ever met, or the smartest, but she is the most unique one.
Xiao Jingxi has never paid so much attention to a woman.
Ren Yaoqi saw Xiao Jingxi looking at him with deep eyes, but he didn't speak, and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. Is she talking too much? If the secrets of Yanbei Palace were really broken, she would be in trouble.
Could it be that Xiao Jingxi helped her last time, so she had inexplicable trust in this teenager? This is really not like her character.
Xiao Jingxi coughed slightly and turned his body slightly. Ren Yaoqi did not notice that she felt that the young man with deep eyes was unfathomable, and there was a slight flush on his face.
However, Xiao Jingxi has always been an unpredictable posture like a half immortal, and his thoughts are never exposed, so when others see it, they will only think it is in the sun, and will never think otherwise.
"What are you going to do next?" Xiao Jingxi asked indifferently, and restored the manners and manners that his Young Master Xiao Er should have, where there is the slightest appearance of an embarrassed young man.
However, Ren Yaoqi felt that Xiao Jingxi's question was a little inexplicable, what could she do? Because she couldn't figure out Xiao Jingxi's thoughts, she could only test it out: "I'm just a deep boudoir, and I can only do so. I can only do things at my fate." After a pause, she suddenly bowed her knees to Xiao Jingxi. Fu, earnestly said: "Thank you for taking care of the Second Young Master Xiao."
Xiao Jingxi glanced at her and said lightly: "You don't have to thank me, I didn't help you." He didn't reveal much news, Ren Yaoqi himself guessed it. For this, even he had to obey.
Ren Yaoqi smiled and shook his head: "From your standpoint, you can speak up one after another, I am very grateful. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. There are some things that I have to do even if I don't want to. . If you accidentally offend, please don’t care about me."
Xiao Jingxi was silent for a moment, but said: "I don't want to ask anything that does not interfere with the interests of the Yanbei Palace. But the Han family...The Han family is still useful to the Yanbei Palace. If you want to move, be afraid It's difficult."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help frowning when she heard this. Xiao Jingxi reminded her that if she repeatedly designed the Han family in the dark, she would eventually disturb the Yanbei Palace and cause trouble?
"I don't have the intention to fight against anyone. If the Han family does not target the Ren family, I am also happy to be friendly with neighbors." Ren Yaoqi said sternly, "But if the Han family is really ill-intentioned, should I just sit back and wait for death?"
This sentence was a bit sharp, and Xiao Jingxi couldn't help being silent.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, then said, "Second Young Master Xiao, is the Han family really irreplaceable for the Yanbei Palace?"
Xiao Jingxi thought for a while and replied implicitly: "For now, the Han family is the most suitable."
Is it not irreplaceable? Ren Yaoqi's mind changed slightly.
So can someone replace the Han family?
Xiao Jingxi seemed to have guessed her thoughts and raised her eyebrows: "Ms. Ren Wu, do you want the Ren family to replace the Han family?"
Ren Yaoqi shook his head without hesitation when he heard this: "No, the Ren family is not suitable."
Xiao Jingxi was surprised when he heard this. If the Ren family could replace the Han family, it would definitely be a good thing for the Ren family. Although he just said it casually, Ren Yaoqi rejected it without thinking.
Ren Yaoqi smiled bitterly in his heart, and it was natural for the Ren family to climb into the power of the Ren family in Yanbei Palace. But what kind of person the leader of the Ren family was like, she couldn't know more in her heart. Therefore, she did not want to see the Ren family involved in this fight, because the end result may be that their Ren family's chess pieces suffer.
The two of them were talking, and suddenly they heard a chattering voice at the door: "The general let me get it for you, let me give it to you..."
The two turned their heads in astonishment and saw Xiao Jinglin walking in, holding a long object wrapped in gray cloth in her hand.
And the one named Mo Xiaoliang that I had seen before was bouncing around her, trying to reach out for what Xiao Jinglin was holding, but he didn't dare.
Xiao Jinglin was really annoyed by her flies. She frowned and looked at him: "Why do you want it for you?"
Mo Xiaoliang took it for granted: "How can the general take things by himself? Of course he must take them! I will be yours in the future, so naturally I will help you take them!"
Xiao Jinglin glanced at his small stature and said quietly: "You are not half as high as my gun! The gun will be dragged!"
Mo Xiaoliang was shocked when he heard this, and stood on the spot...
Dislike him short? Is he short? short?
"Wow—sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what can you eat to grow taller?" Mo Xiaoliang kid ran away crying.
The ears were finally clear, and Xiao Jinglin calmly walked towards Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi, without the slightest guilt that hurt the hearts of young people.
Ren Yaoqi looked at the long object in her hand and curiously asked: "This is your spear?"
Seeing her curiously looking at the wrapped gun in her hand, Xiao Jinglin hesitated for a moment, and generously pulled up Ren Yaoqi's hand and handed the gun to her. I want her to take a look.
For Xiao Jinglin, her weapons are generally not given to others, so she can be regarded as a friendly expression.
I didn't want the gun to be handed over to Ren Yaoqi's hand, so he stretched out a hand from the side and took her gun.
Xiao Jinglin turned her head to look at Xiao Jingxi, frowning silently.
Xiao Jingxi shook his head and returned the gun to Xiao Jinglin, but softly taught him: "She can't hold your gun. If you just hand it to her, her wrist will be injured."
Xiao Jinglin took her gun back, looked at Ren Yaoqi, and understood: "Sorry."
Ren Yaoqi stretched out his hand and looked at Xiao Jinglin and blinked at Xiao Jinglin: "I should be sorry. I am really curious about your gun if I should do what I can."
Xiao Jinglin thought for a while, untied the gray cloth she used to wrap the gun body, and showed the tip of the gun to Ren Yaoqi, and said, "Just look at it, don't touch it with your hands. The tip of the gun has just been polished and it is very sharp. "
The silver tip of the gun was a little dazzling in the sun, Ren Yaoqi nodded, without reaching out to touch it, he looked at Xiao Jinglin's hand for a few times: "So this is a gun. I only read the illustrations in the book."
"What book?" Xiao Jingxi smiled and interjected as they watched the two of them talking there.
"The Legend of Chivalrous Heroes." Ren Yaoqi subconsciously replied.
Then all three of them were slightly stunned, Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but chuckle, and turned his head away.
No matter how thick-skinned Ren Yaoqi was, he blushed a bit now.
This kind of book is not read by a boudoir girl. Most of the characters depicted in the book are of the temper of a person who was born in the market, so this kind of book is considered a ban in the boudoir.
When Ren Yaoqi was with Mr. Pei in the previous life, because Mr. Pei himself was an informal person, he read all the books himself, so Ren Yaoqi also read everything along with him. Over time, he almost forgot these rules.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi in distress, Xiao Jingxi laughed aside. The heroic spirit in Xiao Jinglin's bones that likes to protect the weak is coming out again.
So she comforted Ren Yaoqi in a low voice, "It's nothing. I used to find my brother was peeking at the biography of Jinchai."
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jingxi, although Xiao Jingxi still had a calm expression and a perfect smile. But Ren Yaoqi still noticed some unnatural flushing at the base of his ears.
Ren Yaoqi wondered for the first time whether he was deceived by Xiao Jingxi's appearance before? The half-fairy temperament of this young man is actually just a lie?
Fortunately, at this moment, a small servant next to Xiao Jingxi walked in and saw Xiao Jingxi talking here, so he hurriedly walked over to Xiao Jingxi's ear and said something.
Xiao Jingxi nodded faintly, waved him to retreat, and then said to Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin: "I have something to do. I have to take a step first."
Xiao Jinglin didn't say anything, but just said "um".
Xiao Jingxi nodded to Ren Yaoqi again, then turned and left.
Xiao Jinglin suddenly remembered something, and turned to Xiao Jingxi's back and said: "It's almost time for you to drink the medicine, don't forget it again."
Xiao Jingxi paused, turned around and responded, then lifted the curtain and went out.
Ren Yaoqi felt helpless how he heard the sound he answered. Somehow, he laughed.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi smiled, Xiao Jinglin turned her head to look at her questioningly.
Ren Yaoqi coughed lightly: "Those who don't know thought you were older sister, he was younger brother."
I didn't want Xiao Jinglin but nodded: "He has been squeamish since he was a child. He is afraid of suffering from taking medicine, and he is susceptible to colds, but he is afraid of suffocation and refuses to close the window.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but laugh, and Xiao Jingxi in Xiao Jinglin's eyes and Xiao Jingxi in their eyes did not seem to be the same person.
After that, Mo's sister-in-law, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law served meals, including the signature dish of this store, stewed donkey meat, fresh mushroom soup, and a few home-made side dishes.
The color is very simple, but Xiao Jinglin is very sweet. Her food is fairly elegant, but her speed is very fast and she has a lot of food.
Although it was impolite to watch people eat, Ren Yaoqi still couldn't help but watch Xiao Jinglin eat, and for some reason, she herself had half a bowl of rice more than usual.
At the end, there was almost no food left on the table. After putting down the bowl, Xiao Jinglin didn't feel embarrassed or embarrassed with her smiling eyes at the presidency of Yaoqi.
"It's getting late, I'll take you back to the house?" Xiao Jinglin asked Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi nodded.
When the two of them came out, they happened to hear Sister Mo teaching her son there: "...Your sister-in-law will only let the flowers grow well. There is no way to make people grow taller! Is it possible for her to water the flowers and fertilize every day? I'll come to you again when I'm here? Go ahead and play!"
Turning around to see Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi coming out, Sister Mo hurriedly left her son to greet him.
Mo Xiaoliang saw Xiao Jinglin, although he was still a little ashamed and blushing, he still leaned in expectantly, standing three steps away from them and watching pitifully. Sometimes his eyes aimed at the long spear in Xiao Jinglin's hand.
Xiao Jinglin turned a blind eye, and only stopped and waved at him when she was about to go out.
Mo Xiaoliang's eyes lit up. Pi Dian'er ran forward, "General, what's your order?"
Xiao Jinglin looked at him and said: "Ready to read and study, I will test you in the future. If I can't satisfy me, I won't accept it."
The aura of sadness that had hung over Mo Xiaoliang immediately disappeared without a trace. The child was full of energy and turned upside down on the spot, and hurried to his mother to show off: "Mother, mother, the general said If I want to read and read well, she will accept me as a general in the future! Mother, did you hear that..."
When Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin walked out of the shop, they could still hear the children cheering and shouting.
Ren Yaoqi was about to talk, but saw a tall figure standing beside the carriage, talking to Dongsheng who was sitting on the cowl of the carriage.
The man turned his head to see Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi coming out and hurriedly walked over to salute: "Princess, Miss Ren Wu."
But it turned out to be Zhu Ruomei.
Ren Yaoqi looked at his leg and asked with a smile, "Is it all right?"
Zhu Ruomei stomped her feet on the spot and grinned: "Thank you, Miss Fifth, for remembering, the minor injuries are fine."
Zhu Ruomei is physically strong and has better recovery ability than the average person. Others need to take care of the injury for a few months, and he will recover in a month or two.
Xiao Jinglin should know the relationship between them and walked to the carriage first.
