Chapter 38: Sweet Pastry

Yunwen stayed at Ren's house.
As the grandnephew of the old lady Ren, Qiu Yun often comes to the Ren family to stay, so he has an independent courtyard in the Ren family. And Yun Wenfang, a young man who came to the Ren family, did not live in the guest room of the outer courtyard, but lived with Qiu Yun in his courtyard in the inner courtyard. Mrs. Ren declared to the outside that this "Gongzi Wen" was the child of her natal family.
Because of the attitude of the old lady, everyone in the Ren family became curious about Yun Wenfang's identity except for a few insiders.
As one of the insiders, the fifth wife Lin was very enthusiastic about Yun Wenfang. In addition to confessing that his son Ren Yijian was close to Qiu Yun and Yun Wenfang, he also confessed to his daughter Ren Yaoyu.
Mrs. Da is much calmer, and apart from taking care of the Jinxiuyuan where Qiu Yun and Yunwen are staying, she has no special actions.
But people who didn't know also guessed that the identity of this "Master Wen" was certainly not low.
Ren Yaoying told Aunt Fang the matter.
Aunt Fang thought for a while and called her son Ren Yihong, and asked carefully. It’s just that Ren Yihong doesn’t have much contact with Yun Wenfang, and he’s not the one who likes to chew his tongue. He only knows that, besides Qiu Yun, he only walks a little closer to the fifth young master, Ren Yijian. Some things in Yunyang City and where to play in Baihe Town in winter and so on.
Aunt Fang didn't have any dissatisfaction with her son's ignorance. Instead, she praised him a lot and told him to study hard and let him go back. Turning around, he ordered his confidant to go to the companion room where the fifth wife came from Yunyang City to inquire about the identity of "Master Wen".
Finally, she told her daughter: "Follow what I told you before and don't be influenced by them. Lin always likes to jump up and down because of her life. Even if she makes mistakes, someone will always clean up her mess. Aunt Fang's gentle tone contained a trace of disdain and mockery.
"My mother said that she will find a good future for you, so she will definitely do it."
Ren Yaoying, who was impulsive and irritable in front of outsiders, lowered her head and responded gently, "Yes, my daughter got it."
In the Ronghua Yard, the fifth wife, Lin's, became extremely diligent to the old lady Ren.
On the first night that Yun Wenfang came to Ren's family, Lin squeezed his shoulders to the old lady Ren, while implicitly inquiring about the old lady of Yun's attitude towards Yun Wenfang's marriage.
Old lady Ren narrowed her eyes and said quietly: "I'll talk about this later."
The fifth wife smiled and said: "Mother, the young master of the Yun family is fifteen this year. Although he is also a talented person, he is an age separated from Yuer, and the wife does not think it is appropriate. However, the second young master...the wife is looking at my family today. Yuer is a pair of golden boys and girls."
The old lady slapped Lin's hand and frowned, "What kind of are you! Yu'er's reputation will be ruined after it spread out!"
Lin curled his lips: "Mother, doesn't it mean that Mrs. Yun entrusted her grandson to the Ren family at this time? The current king of Yanbei is the nephew of Mrs. Yun, although Mrs. Yun is not Lao Yanbei. Concubine Wang Zheng, however, has a formal honour, and with the presence of the Yanbei King, who else is more noble than her in the Yanbei Palace? The Yun family has therefore become the first family in Yanbei. If our Ren family can get married with the Yun family, The benefits are much better. You and Mrs. Yun are cousins ​​and her maiden family. If you open this mouth to her elders, she will not be able to refuse."
The old lady was silent for a while, and waved her hand: "I'll talk about it later."
Lin wanted to persuade him again, but he touched his nose and stopped at the staring gaze of the old lady.
In my heart, I was thinking that I must let my daughter get closer to the second young master of the Yun family.
Nor can Lin be blamed for being "open." She and Mr. Ren Wu had a relationship since they were young. They were childhood sweethearts, so they finally married Ren's family.
Therefore, Lin also wanted to find a good marriage for his daughter.
Ren Yaoqi didn't care about these undercurrents at home. As always, he went to the Ronghuayuan twice a day to report to him, and then returned to his yard. Either staying in Li's room to accompany her to become a female actress, or going to the study of Xikuayuan to accompany Ren Shimin to write couplet peach charms. She was honored to have the qualifications to polish the peach charms with sandpaper and rubbing ink from Ren Shimin.
That night, when Ren Yaoqi went to greet Li's family, she happened to hear Mother Zhou reporting house affairs to Li's family.
"...Two hams, four jars of Jinhua wine, a pair of live sheep, six chickens, two fox skins, one lynx skin, and six brocades..."
Li listened and nodded: "There are few people in the family, these are enough for the New Year. In addition, two hundred taels of silver will be given, all of which will be replaced by small ingots of twelve and five taels."
After a pause, she reluctantly emphasized, "Remember to hand the silver to mother."
Mother Zhou sighed: "The slave and maid save it."
Hearing the noise of the curtain behind them, the two immediately looked back.
Seeing that it was Ren Yaoqi Li's sigh of relief, he then smiled embarrassedly: "Ji'er, are you here?"
Ren Yaoqi turned back to Li with a smile without any observation: "Is my mother discussing things with Mother Zhou? I'll go to Xici and wait."
Li hurriedly said: "Then you go sit down first, and I will go over after I have settled with Mother Zhou."
Ren Yaoqi retired from the East Room and went to the West Room.
After a while, Mother Zhou came out and smiled at Ren Yaoqi: "Mrs. Fifth is still changing clothes. Miss Fifth came earlier today. Didn't Miss Third come back in the old lady's yard?"
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "The third elder sister will be here in a while." After thinking about it, she suddenly asked, "Where is grandma and uncle... okay?"
Mother Zhou was taken aback for a moment, remembering that Ren Yaoqi might have heard her and Li's conversation before, and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay."
Looking at Ren Yaoqi, Mother Zhou said with a smile, "Father, he brought the New Year's Eve, and his wife asked the servants to send me some gifts back tomorrow."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and nodded: "This is what it should be." He didn't ask her uncle what kind of New Year gifts.
Mother Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. Just about to speak, Ren Yaohua opened the curtain and walked in, and asked casually, "What is the festival ceremony?"
Glancing at the nervous grandma Zhou, Ren Yaoqi smiled and answered, "I'm asking about the friendship between some relatives of the grandma. Didn't the third sister play leaf cards with her cousin and their grandmother before? Who won? ?"
"Don't you like to play? What does it have to do with you who wins?" Ren Yaohua walked to the kang and sat down, and Mother Zhou asked Li to quit with the excuse of going there.
Ren Yaoqi didn't argue with her, smiled, and raised the small teapot at hand and poured her a cup of tea.
Faced with Ren Yaoqi's friendly attitude, Ren Yaohua couldn't help reaching out to laugh at the face. Since she came back this time, she has felt that Ren Yaoqi is no different from before. Ren Yaoqi used to compete with her at every turn, but now he always avoids arguing with her. This kind of quarrel is really a slap, so the two have been in peace.
"The third cousin and Gongzi Wen said that they are going to hold an ice sports competition, and grandmother has already agreed." Ren Yaohua took a sip of tea and said suddenly.
Although Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised that Ren Yaohua took the initiative to say this to her, he still pretended to be a little interested and said, "Oh? When? Are all the brothers in the family participating?"
"Well, it's on the Xiaobaihe outside the town. Then we will all go too." Ren Yaohua responded with a rare and friendly expression.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned: "I... won't."
Ren Yaohua turned his head and stared at her: "So what? You don't need to play the game. At that time, the servants of the mansion will naturally be arranged to go up. We are just watching the excitement."
Ren Yaoqi coughed slightly: "Oh, that's it. Recently, I caught a cold easily. It's too cold outside, so I won't go."
"Grandma explained that all the brothers and sisters at home will go, and the people from the East Mansion will also go. The third cousin asked you specifically today." Ren Yaohua said, frowning and looking at Ren Yaoqi.
