Chapter 39: Sisters on marriage

Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yaohua in surprise: "Cousin three? Is he looking for something to do with me?"
Ren Yaohua saw Ren Yaoqi's expression, seeming to be really unaware, and turned away: "How do I know. I must have seen you rarely appear in grandma's yard, so I just asked casually."
Ren Yaoqi smiled upon hearing the words: "My third cousin has always been courteous and thoughtful."
Ren Yaohua rubbed his teacup, lowered his head for a moment, and glanced at Ren Yaoqi again, frowning as if he was thinking about something.
"What's the matter? Third sister?" When it was rare to meet Ren Yaohua softly, Ren Yaoqi smiled and stretched out his palm and shook it before her eyes.
Ren Yaohua was taken aback and couldn't help staring at Ren Yaoqi.
This was the first time that Ren Yaoqi did such an intimate action in front of her, and she was a little uncomfortable.
Ren Yaoqi's smile remained unchanged, and he turned his head slightly to look at her: "What can I think of?"
Ren Yaohua originally wanted to say "What are you doing
What's the matter with you!" However, he didn't know why, so he turned into a sentence: "Grandma seems to intend to marry the fourth sister to the Qiu family."
She was stunned as soon as she said this, and she couldn't help but stretched out her finger to touch her lips.
It stands to reason that this kind of unfounded and unfounded remark is related to the marriage of the girl's family. Even if she knows it, she shouldn't say it, and she still tells her sister who has never been in harmony with her.
Ren Yaoqi was also a little surprised. She didn't expect to hear such things from Ren Yaohua.
However, the fact that the Ren family wanted to kiss the Qiu family had happened in the previous life, and the old man and the old lady were indeed planning to marry the fourth young lady Ren Yaoyin who was the grandfather's son to the eldest son of the next patriarch of the Qiu family. Yun.
It's just that the marriage between the two in the previous life did not happen for some reason, and the Ren family did not fall behind. The Qiu family married Qiu Yun another famous door Shuyuan.
Ren Yaoyin seemed to be a concubine for Yun Wenting, the eldest son of the Yun family.
However, there were two candidates for the fiancée originally given to Qiu Yun by the Ren family in the previous life, one is the fourth lady Ren Yaoyin and the other is Ren Yaohua. Because both of them are both direct daughters, and among the daughters of the Ren family, they are the best match for Qiu Yun, and they are the two favorite granddaughters of the old lady.
As far as he knows, the old lady Ren seemed to prefer Ren Yaohua.
At the critical moment, "Han Yunqian" Cheng Yaojin came out halfway. Ren Shimin liked Han Yunqian very much, and proposed marriage to the Han family before discussing with the elders of the Ren family. In the end, the Ren family felt that Ren Yaohua married Han Yunqian, the only son of the Han family, and agreed. Ren Yaoyin was assigned to Qiu Yun.
The marriage of the Han family in this lifetime has not been affected at all. Did the Ren family decide on Ren Yaoyin for Qiu Yun's fiancée? According to the ranking, should Ren Yaohua's marriage be proposed in advance?
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yaohua: "Why did you suddenly mention the fourth sister's marriage?"
Ren Yaohua realized that the two of them were awkward discussing these things in private, and there was some uncomfortable look on their faces. However, seeing Ren Yaoqi's serious and calm face, Ren Yaohua didn't want to be short in front of this sister. .
So she reluctantly calmed her expression, pretending to be nonchalant: "The second aunt came to the house in the morning and brought up her second brother's marriage. The eldest aunt happened to be there, so she discussed with her grandmother to tell her third brother. The aunt went around to the fourth sister again. The grandmother said that the fourth sister shouldn’t worry in advance, she had a good idea. At this time, the second aunt mentioned the Qiu family. I was originally in the warm pavilion with the fourth sister. I just heard it when I came out. These words. Later, when I saw that my fourth sister had also come out, I left with her if I couldn't listen to it anymore. However, I didn't hear the retort from the grandmother and the elder aunt at the time. I think the second aunt was not wrong."
Their grandfather Ren Yonghe and uncle Ren Yongxiang are the direct descendants of the Ren family and live in the main residence of the Ren family.
Ren Yonghe and Ren Yongxiang also have a few brothers who have been out of the house. They have been separated from the house. The brothers and sisters of those uncles do not share the same ranking with them. They will see them every year during the Chinese New Year and the Mid-Yuan Festival. .
The second aunt was the wife in charge of the East House separated by a wall, and was the eldest daughter-in-law of their uncle, who came from the Su family in Yunyang City.
The second elder brother Ren Yilin is the second uncle's concubine. The second aunt Su has no sons and only gave birth to a daughter, Ren Yaoting, who is ranked seventh in the Ren family. However, the Su family is a generous person. He has given his second uncle several concubines and has two concubine sons.
The Su family has a prominent family background and a reputation for being virtuous, so although she does not have a son, she is in a much better position than the same childless third wife, Li.
"Isn't the second brother's fiancee still in the filial piety period?" Ren Yaoqi asked casually.
She remembered that Ren Yilin's marriage was set two years ago, and it was the second daughter of Juren, a Liu in Jizhou, who was considered a good relationship.
The wedding date was originally set in April this year. It happened that the grandfather of Ren Yilin’s fiancée passed away in the first month. Liu Juren had to spend a year of filial piety, and Liu Juren had just used money to make up for a general sentence in Mozhou because his father died and took office. Ding You went home within two months.
Misfortune did not come singly. A while ago, there was news from Jizhou that Liu Juren’s father went out to drink wine with his friends before his filial piety period. In the end, in order to avoid acquaintances, he panicked and somehow fell into the river and drowned.
Miss Liu's one-year filial piety period has not yet passed, and three years of filial piety is coming again.
Ren Yilin is seventeen this year, and that Miss Liu is sixteen this year.
"The slave and maid heard that the East House had already fallen out. Aunt Yuan ran to the second elder and the second wife every day, crying. She said that Miss Liu had a bad life and killed her grandfather and her before she married into Ren's family. Father, a broom star, is arguing about retiring for the second master."
The answer was Turnip, the maid next to Ren Yaohua. She knew these things better than the two masters, and couldn't help but interject.
After speaking, he glanced at Ren Yaohua nervously again, fearing that she would blame herself for talking too much.
Although Ren Yaohua frowned, she didn't say anything, just bowed her head to drink tea.
Ren Yaoqi smiled at the turnip.
Turnip breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Ren Yaohua didn't stop her from speaking, Miss Fifth wanted to listen, and continued with some joy: "The second lady has always treated the second young master and the fourth young master as her own. I'm in a hurry. Although our Ren family is divided into the East and the West, the big things are also our old lady and the old lady in the West House. So the second old lady in the East House condemned the second lady to ask the old lady for advice."
Ren Yaoqi just bowed his head and smiled.
In fact, the old lady Liao from the East House and the old lady Qiu from the West House did not agree when they were young. For other things, the Liao family wanted to make a clear distinction from the West House. But for such things that need to violate the faith, she naturally hoped that Xifu would help her decide, so she asked the second wife to come to Qiu.
At this time, everyone in the Ren family should hope to retire from the Liu family. Originally, the Ren family liked the girl of the Liu family only because of Miss Liu's father's status as a person. Before Liu Juren was able to find the position of interrogation, the Ren family had done a lot.
The Ren family started as a business, and the investment must be rewarded.
Now that Liu Juren, a "creative talent", is dead, and the Liu family has no other use, this marriage has lost its value.
Ren Yaoqi remembered that the Liu family's marriage in the previous life was finally retired, but that Miss Liu was also a woman with strong personality. Soon after being divorced, he committed suicide.
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but look at Ren Yaohua.
The Ren family regards the women of other people's family as things, and abandons them if they want to, but in the end, they retribution to these innocent Ren family women?
"What's the matter?" Ren Yaohua couldn't help frowning when he saw Ren Yaoqi staring at herself.
Ren Yaoqi came back to his senses: "Oh, I was thinking that Miss Liu's was so pitiful."
Ren Yaohua was silent for a while after hearing the words, and said quietly: "The poor woman in this world is more than Miss Liu Jia? It depends on the fate. What if the fate is not good?"
Ren Yaohua's voice was faintly melancholy, and she didn't know whether she was thinking of her mother Li's hard struggles in the Ren family's inner courtyard over the years or thinking of her unknown destiny in the future.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yaohua with a complicated expression.
She originally believed in fate, but in this life, she didn't want to believe it.
