Chapter 79: Detected news

When Liao came out, Ren Yaoting stood quietly under the corridor in a daze.
Turning his head to see Liao's proud and proud Ren Yaoting's eyes lit up, he hurriedly stepped forward and helped Liao's: "Grandma, how is it? He agreed with what you said to your uncle's grandfather?"
Seeing that he was his only granddaughter, Liao's smile on his face grew wider, and he patted Ren Yaoting's hand holding him, "Naturally agree."
Ren Yaoting was overjoyed, a little incoherent: "The marriage between the third sister and Han Gongzi... can't it happen?"
Liao looked at Ren Yaoting a little strangely upon hearing this: "How did you learn that I was talking about this?"
Ren Yaoting hesitated: "Seeing you are in a bad mood this morning, I asked the people in your yard."
Liao didn't think it was a pestle, but was happy because his granddaughter cared about herself.
"The three sisters..." Ren Yaoting wanted to know the exact news very much.
Liao didn't care and said: "The marriage between the two is not a trifling matter. How can you say that it can't be done? Listening to them, it should not be long before the Han family will condemn the matchmaker.
Ren Yaoting was struck by lightning when he heard the words: "What are you talking about? Han Gongzi still wants to be married to the third sister?"
Liao gave Ren Yaoting a strange look: "What are you doing so loudly?"
Ren Yaoting's face was pale, and he followed Liao in despair.
A few days later, as soon as Ren Yaoqi came out of the study in the Xikuayuan, the maid Sang Fu reported to her: "Miss, your grandparents' family is here, and your wife is hiring someone to speak in the main room."
Ren Yaoqi turned around when he heard the words and walked towards the main house, while still asking: "When will you come? Why didn't you tell me?"
"It's been less than a quarter of an hour to come in. You were in the study at the time. The master did not allow the slaves to enter and leave the study at will, and the slaves did not dare to go in." Mulberry replied while following in Ren Yaoqi's footsteps.
Ren Yaoqi didn't say much, and went straight to the main house.
Li's two big maids, Xi'er and Que'er, were all guarding at the door. There were no other maids around. Ren Yaoqi knew at first glance that it was Mother Zhou who had instructed not to wait for idlers.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi coming, Xi'er and Que'er looked at each other. Xi'er was about to go in and give a report. Ren Yaoqi waved their hands and opened the curtain to enter.
Xi'er and Que'er glanced at each other again, and finally stood still.
When Ren Yaoqi entered, there was no one in the Ming room, and a small voice came from the Dongji room on the right. She walked under the curtain and heard a female voice inside: "...Xia Sheng also inquired that the old lady of the Han family was also capable at first, because Han Jianping only gave birth to one daughter of her, and he died early in the family. She decides everything, big and small. However, after marrying Han Dongshan, she rarely walks around, and only teaches her son in the house every day..."
Ren Yaoqi stood there and listened for a moment, did not go in, but turned around again.
Instructing Xi'er to follow her aside, Ren Yaoqi asked: "It's Miss Yihong who is here? Didn't she come alone?"
Although Xi'er was a little surprised that Ren Yaoqi came out so soon, and it seemed that she hadn't entered, she still whispered back very quickly: "It’s Miss Yihong who came with her. Xia Sheng’s martial artist. But his man couldn’t enter the inner courtyard, so Mother Zhou arranged for someone to lead him to drink tea in the outer courtyard."
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "I'm talking inside, I won't go in." He turned and left.
When he walked to the gate of Ziwei Courtyard, Ren Yaoqi beckoned to a woman: "Go to the outer courtyard and take the person named Xia Sheng from my maternal grandfather's house to the Yiran Pavilion outside the second gate."
Although Yiran Pavilion is not in the inner courtyard, it is very close to the second gate. On weekdays, most of the people in the outer courtyard where the maids and maids want to see are there, because the view around the pavilion is excellent, and there are people walking nearby, so I am not afraid of any secrets. The masters have to go out, and if the sedan chair or carriage has not come, they will wait in the pavilion for a while, so Ren Yaoqi will not feel inappropriate to go there.
Ren Yaoqi went back to the room to change the clothes he was going out, and then took the two maids and the two women to the second door.
Xia Sheng had been led and waited in Yiran Pavilion.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi coming out, Xia Sheng was still a little surprised, he thought it was Mother Zhou who called him.
"Miss Biao." Xia Sheng bowed his head and saluted.
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "Is this Jizhou where you went this time?"
Xia Sheng replied, "Miss Huibiao, it's young."
"I have a few questions I want to ask you. I am afraid that what Yihong relayed is not clear to you." Ren Yaoqi looked at Xia Sheng and smiled.
"Miss watch, please."
"The former patriarch of the Han family, Ren Jianping, only gave birth to one daughter. Han Dongshan cannot take over as the patriarch. Who is the current patriarch?"
"The current patriarch of the Han family is Han Jianxin, a distant cousin of Han Jianping. He is nearly twenty years younger than Han Jianping, about the same age as Han Dongshan, but his seniority is large, so Han Dongshan elected him as the patriarch. Han Although Jianxin is the head of the patriarch, he relies heavily on Han Dongshan. All matters of the clan are discussed with Han Dongshan before making a decision. In the past few years, Han Dongshan also proposed to run a clan school. Han Dongshan is responsible for all the expenses, so Han Dongshan's prestige in the clan is still higher than that of the patriarch Han Jianxin."
"Oh? Didn't that clan say that he was bad?" Ren Yaoqi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xia Sheng thought for a while, but said: "That's enough. Han Jianping actually has one or two cousins ​​who are closer together, and their attitude towards Han Dongshan is not as close as those who are farther away. One is called Han Jianmin. It was Han Jianping’s cousin. I heard that Han Jianping had planned to take over his youngest son to inherit the family business. Later, I don’t know why Han Jianping dismissed this idea. Not only did he hand over the entire family property to his son-in-law Han Dongshan. Let Han Dongshan enter the Han family's ancestral hall, and deliberately plan for Han Dongshan's prestige among the clan."
"Later Han Jianping passed away. Han Jianmin originally planned to unite with a few clan brothers to expel Han Dongshan, but he was punished preemptively by Han Dongshan. A few years later, Han Jianmin passed away, and no one from the Han family took the lead. After all, Han Dongshan still takes good care of the Han clan members. This time I went to Jizhou, the people in the Han clan almost talked about Han Dongshan’s good things, and the few close to the branch didn’t dare to speak blatantly about Han. Dongshan is not good. Only Han Jianmin’s youngest son, Han Zuwang, seems to be very dissatisfied with Han Dongshan and said a lot of unpleasant things. However, what he said was verified by the younger ones, and most of them were slanderous."
Xia Sheng didn't take it seriously when he said that, and he looked down on Han Zuwang.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but feel thoughtful. Han Zuwang's character is not her business, she just wants to disturb the relationship between the Han family and the Ren family.
"What's the situation in this Han Zuwang family?"
Because Han Zuwang is a rare person in the Han family who is willing to say that Han Dongshan is not good, Xia Sheng really checked this person's affairs and replied: "Han Zuwang’s father, Han Jianmin, has three sons. He was originally thinking The younger son was adopted to Han Jianping, so after the death of Han Jianmin, Han Zuwang, who was originally the most favored son, didn’t get much property. After the three brothers separated, he took his family with him in the ancestral house where the boss was assigned. The willingness to leave depends on the help from time to time from the two brothers. After he was drunk, he always met people and said that everything about Han Dongshan now should be his, and a foreigner is not eligible to get the property of the Han family. He is dissatisfied with Han Dongshan. It should be for this reason."
"Oh? Han Dongshan just let him speak such nonsense?" Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile.
Han Dongshan is so capable that he can balance the Han clan, why can't he balance Han Zuwang?
Xia Sheng shook his head: "Han Zuwang thought that Han Dongshan's property belonged to him, and he was given a face. It can be said that his two brothers also have a headache for him. This person is a thorny head. He once put it. In other words, his father died because of his opposition to Han Dongshan. If there was an accident on that day, it must be the black hand under Han Dongshan. So no one would dare to touch him."
When Ren Yaoqi heard this, he became interested in this person, and he didn't seem to be a totally brainless person.
"In addition to asking you to check the relatives of the Han family, the last letter asked you to check the details of Han Dongshan. Have you found anything?" Ren Yaoqi asked again.
She was very satisfied with Xia Sheng's answer before. She had been in contact with Xia Sheng for a period of time in her previous life, and she had some understanding of his way of doing things, knowing that although he looked rough, she was very careful. Therefore, in her last letter, she named Xia Sheng to go to Jizhou.
"The little one asked an old man who used to work in the Han family. Han Dongshan indeed fled from the south. In the 32nd year of Qinglong, there was a drought in the south, followed by a locust plague, and many people died of starvation. People fled to Yanbei, where the disaster was relatively rare. It was this time that Han Dongshan fled to Jizhou with a group of people. Once Han Jianping was out, he encountered a few victims who were about to starve to death and ran out of danger to rob their fortune. He was rescued by Han Dongshan, and then taken back to the Han family by Han Jianping. According to Han Dongshan, his family was dead, and there were some distant relatives from his mother in Yanbei who came to seek refuge, but it took a long time. After experiencing the invasion of the Liao people, he could no longer find his distant relatives, so he stayed in the Han family. After that, he was appreciated by Han Jianping and recruited him."
"Other than these, can't find anything else?" Ren Yaoqi frowned. "He didn't mention his former family members himself?"
Every individual has a history of birth. She doesn't believe that Han Dongshan will pop out of the stone, nor does he believe that he has not left any flaws for so many years. (To be continued
