Chapter 112: Contest

The woman's face turned green with anger.
But Xiao Jinglin suddenly said, "I won't accept illiterate people."
"Gah?" Mo Xiaoliang's child heard the words and forgot to struggle and was dazed on the spot.
But the child is also clever, and his eyes rolled and said with joy: "Then if I am literate, you will accept me?"
Xiao Jinglin thought for a while and nodded: "Yes."
Mo Xiaoliang immediately broke free of her mother's hand and ran away happily, while yelling: "Writing, writing..."
The woman looked at her son's figure and disappeared in the blink of an eye, her face was full of worry, she looked at Xiao Jinglin and stopped talking.
But without waiting for her to speak, Xiao Jinglin nodded to the woman quietly and said, "Don't worry."
The woman was relieved when she heard this.
Xiao Jinglin turned her head and said to Ren Yaoqi: "You go in and wait for me, I will come as soon as I go."
"Where are you going?" Ren Yaoqi couldn't help frowning. The location was remote, and she only brought an apple by her side. Although she is not timid, she does not want to stay here alone.
"I'll buy something nearby, and I'll be back soon. I will let Tongxi stay." Seemingly knowing Ren Yaoqi's concern, Xiao Jinglin approached her and whispered, "Don't be afraid, there are people around you who will not let me The idlers are waiting to come in."
Ren Yaoqi was relieved now, although she was a little surprised that Xiao Jinglin had to buy something by herself? And she thought that Xiao Jinglin didn't like to lead people to follow, because she really didn't lead people, and she didn't want to have anyone in the dark.
Xiao Jinglin confessed to the woman a few more times, then turned and went out.
The woman took Ren Yaoqi to the backyard.
Only then did Ren Yaoqi discover that although the pavement in front of this shop was small, the courtyard inside was more than three times larger. Although it was just an ordinary backyard, it was planted with flowers, plants and grasses. Ren Yaoqi found that the corner of the wall was still open, and he had planted some herbs such as notoginseng and mountain thistle.
"Does anyone in the shopkeeper know medical skills?" Ren Yaoqi asked.
The woman hurriedly said: "My husband's name is Mo, the young lady should call me Mo's wife. My daughter-in-law's grandfather originally opened a drugstore, so she recognizes some herbs. On weekdays, she also collects herbs and grows herbs in exchange for some money."
"That's it."
"Miss knows herbal medicine?" Mo sister-in-law asked Ren Yaoqi with a smile while leading Ren Yaoqi to the table in the northeast of the courtyard.
"I only know a few things that are common, so I don't recognize them."
The who was setting the tableware raised his head and glanced at Ren Yaoqi, with some curiosity in his eyes. Ren Yaoqi, looking at her dress and age, guessed that she should be Mo's wife.
Sister-in-law Mo instructed her: "Huoxiang, you can help me watch Xiao Liang write. I won't open the door for business today. I can do business without other guests."
"Yes, mother." Huoxiang arranged the bowls and chopsticks and lowered her head.
"Miss, sit down, I'll go to the kitchen to see if the food is ready." Mo sister-in-law smiled.
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "You are busy."
Sister-in-law Mo also went down. Ren Yaoqi took a look at the small courtyard and got up to look at a potted plant with thick tiles next to it. There was a magnolia plant in it, which was growing well. Magnolia is also a plant that can be used as medicine.
Ren Yaoqi took a closer look and discovered that most of the flowers and plants in this yard can be used as medicine. She saw caviar, pinellia, gentian, phoenix tail, horse chestnut, parsnip, asarum, liangmianzhen, chuanxiong, and southern star just by potting.
Feeling that someone had entered the backyard, Ren Yaoqi turned around and found that Dongsheng had entered.
Dongsheng walked to a distance of about four or five steps away from Ren Yaoqi and stopped, and saluted: "The little one has seen Miss Ren Wu."
Ren Yaoqi looked at him with a smile. Dongsheng's appearance has not changed, but his spirit is good, and his eyes are still clear and flexible.
"Why are you with the princess?"
Dongsheng bowed his head respectfully and said: "The second son is also in Baihe Town, and the younger one was ordered to drive for the princess."
Xiao Jingxi really came.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Dongsheng and said, "Do you have something to tell me?"
Dongsheng nodded and said, "Miss Biao, there is something going on in the Bailong Temple."
Ren Yaoqi was taken aback, but then he was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "You are talking about the Xiao family's army..."
Dongsheng nodded: "There was another conflict in the former Japanese army, and people died. I heard that the paper requesting Yanbei to cut the army is full of the emperor's case. In a few days, Beijing should have the imperial decree. Yanbei Palace Before the imperial decree is issued, the men and horses will be broken up into parts, and they will be scattered to some large temples in Yanbei as farmhands. When there are people in Beijing, even if they see the clues, there is nothing to do."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but feel happy. The Xiao family's army did not enter Ningxia, and even if Zeng Tan came later, he would not have the strength of his previous life. His road to promotion will not be so smooth.
Ren Yaoqi also had to admire Xiao Jingxi's ability to act. It was easy when she thought about it, but it was difficult to implement it. But Xiao Jingxi did it, and it only took such a short time.
Seeing the joy on Ren Yaoqi's face, Dongsheng couldn't help but said, "This thing is done, what good is it for the Royal Palace?"
Ren Yaoqi said: "I only know that if the imperial power penetrates into Yanbei, it will not be a good thing for Xian Wangfu."
Dongsheng thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Miss is right."
Seeing that he was still thinking about offering the palace, Ren Yaoqi sighed lightly: "Tongxi, will you tell me your master will blame it?"
Seeing that she called his current name, Dongsheng understood what Ren Yaoqi meant. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be possible. The youngest felt that the second son seemed to have guessed something. Tongde went to report to him yesterday. When something happened, he didn't let Xiao retire, and today he deliberately ordered Xiao Xiao to follow the princess to Ren's house... Xiao felt like he knew."
Do you know she is the one who proposed this method?
"Miss don't worry about the little ones, the little ones know how to measure." Dongsheng said to Ren Yaoqi, "Second son, he treats the little ones well, since the little one has followed him, he will naturally do his best for him. Just sacrifice. The Royal Palace...The Royal Palace is like a small family, and the small ones will never forget their origin."
Dongsheng is like this. If Xian Wangfu and Yanbei Wangfu have been in peace, then it will be fine. If there is a conflict of interest that day, Dongsheng is afraid...
However, in the last life, Xian Wang Mansion and Yanbei Wang Mansion did not violate the river water. Even when Li Tianyou sneaked into Beijing to look for her, he closed one eye. This life shouldn't have a sudden conflict.
"By the way, have you ever heard of a family surnamed Qu? It should be a prominent family in Yanzhou decades ago. Later, I don't know why the family fell for some reason, and most of the clansmen died." Ren Yaoqi suddenly remembered. Asked hurriedly about the Han family's affairs.
Since so many people died in the Qu family, a major event had happened. If it is so Dongsheng might know. Although they are not Yanbei people, they also know a lot about things that Yanbei people don't know.
Dongsheng thought about it after hearing the words, but still shook his head: "Miss, are you sure that the Qu family is a big clan? Why is there no impression of the small family? It stands to reason that even the small family of Yanbei should know that even the small one decades ago ."
For this, Dongsheng is still very confident. When it comes to martial arts, perhaps even Yihong is better than him, but when it comes to the rules of the family, he is the most proficient. And those big and small famous families in Yanbei, he has remembered genealogy.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but feel disappointed. Even Dongsheng couldn't remember that there was a Qu family?
"Maybe it's not a prominent family." Ren Yaoqi was uncertain.
"Perhaps it was because of the rampage of the Liao people a few decades ago, some people lost their tracks completely after they were in trouble, and they were not written down. However, I really can’t remember it for a while, or maybe it’s a small one. Go back and think about it? I remember that there seemed to be some local chronicles in the second son's study that recorded Yanzhou's past history. The younger one went back to see if he could find anything." Dongsheng couldn't help but comfort when he saw Ren Yaoqi's disappointment.
Ren Yaoqi nodded. Generally this kind of local chronicles will record some large and small things in the local area. If the Qu family is really from Yanbei, you should be able to find some clues.
At this time, another person entered the backyard. Ren Yaoqi turned his eyes to look, and couldn't help being taken aback. It was Xiao Jingxi who actually came in.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi and Dongsheng talking, Xiao Jingxi was not surprised, nor did he look unhappy.
He walked slowly, looked at Ren Yaoqi and smiled lightly at her: "Miss Ren Wu."
"Second Young Master Xiao." Ren Yaoqi hurriedly bowed his knees.
Sister-in-law Mo came up, respectfully put the tea on the table, and then hurriedly bowed.
Xiao Jingxi walked to a pot of gentian, and his right index finger gently held up a young leaf that had just sprouted and bent over to take a closer look.
Ren Yaoqi stood in front of a pot of magnolia not far from him, watching his movements silently.
"The Su family posted a post to the Han family, inviting the Han family to prepare for the dragon boat race outside Yunyang City on the Duanyang Festival next month with the Su family and several others." Xiao Jingxi turned to look at Ren Yaoqi with a light smile.
After Ren Yaoqi froze for a while, his mind turned quickly.
The Dragon Boat Festival in Yunyang City every year prevents the dragon boat race, but the preparations for this race are the few leading families in Yanzhou. It can be said that this is a symbol of family strength. The Ren family competed for this qualification last year, but in the end they still didn't get it.
The Su family is the organizer of the first dragon boat race and can be regarded as the initiator of the event. The Su family's invitation is very important.
Regardless of the real strength of the Han family, the Han family is too shallow and low-key. It stands to reason that this kind of thing should not be the Han family.
So the purpose of the Su family's doing this is actually the drunkard's intention is not to drink?
The coal mine of the Han family...This is the reason Ren Yaoqi thought of.
Has the Su family decided to take action?
"Miss Ren Wu knows the reason?" Xiao Jingxi asked with a smile looking at Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi looked up at Xiao Jingxi, she always felt that there was something else in Xiao Jingxi's smile.
