Chapter 43: reward

Mr. Pei had just been relegated to Wuzhou by the court three years ago, and she was by the side.
Mr. Pei has the habit of reading the Dibao every day, even though it was mostly a few days ago when he arrived.
The first time she saw Zhu Ruomei's name was on several diaries that had been delayed for several days.
That year, the Queen Mother, Xiao Jingxi, the second son of the Yanbei Palace, went to Beijing to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.
According to legend, the second son of Yanbei Wang is not only picturesque, but also brilliant.
Mr. Pei used eight words to comment on the second son of the Xiao family who had met once: Zhong Ling is beautiful, and he is shockingly talented.
Ren Yaoqi was amazed when he heard such a high evaluation of others from the self-esteem Mr. Pei. After all, she had lived in Yanbei for 16 years and didn't know much about the second son of Xiao. His elder brother, Yanbei Wang Shizi, who is a host in Beijing, heard her father mention several times because Shizi's paintings are good.
It is a pity that Young Master Xiao is seriously ill. It is said that he would cough up blood even if he took a few more steps. His body was worse than her younger third brother Ren Yijun, who was weak since childhood.
The second son of Xiao's southbound trip caused everyone to worry, for fear that he would go to see King Hades because of a bump in the carriage on the road. Fortunately, in the end Young Master Xiao still arrived in Beijing safely.
The Queen Mother Yan met Xiao Jingxi very much. The Queen Mother's niece, Miss Yan's family, fell in love with him at first sight and vowed that he would not marry him. Finally, the Queen Mother decreed that Miss Yan be married to the second son of Xiao, who had never married because of poor health.
It was originally a beautiful thing, but God didn't like to be beautiful.
Xiao Jingkang, the son of the king of Yanbei, died suddenly at this time. At the same time, Xingzhou, Xiangzhou and Xuzhou burst into large-scale brutal rebellion, shocking the government and the opposition.
The name "Zhu Ruomei" appeared frequently in the newspapers of various states and counties at this time. He was the leader of this thugs rebellion.
When the court reluctantly suppressed the rebellion, just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the second son of the Xiao family, who was supposed to stay in Beijing instead of the deceased son and married Miss Yan, suddenly disappeared in the capital.
There are rumors that Young Master Xiao is afraid to end up like Xiao Shizi, and has taken advantage of the chaos to return to Yanbei in secret.
It was also said that the fierce bandit "Zhu Ruomei" was actually a miner from Yanbei Coal Mine. He was appreciated by the wise and wise young master Xiao Er and became a member of the Yanbei Palace. The Yanbei Palace had long been rebellious, and the Xiao family's heart was punishable.
After Xiao Jingxi got away, Zhu Ruomei also disappeared.
After that, Miss Yan's family took her dowry to leave Beijing to find her husband in Yanbei. As for the result, there were too many rumors, and it was difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Ren Yaoqi didn't have much interest in inquiring about this kind of thing, because what she saw in her eyes was not a poignant and touching love story, but a clear political conspiracy.
The Yanbei Palace and the court had an unclear account, and Ren Yaoqi hadn't settled the account before he woke up and returned to Ren's house.
However, she remembered the name Zhu Ruomei.
Whether this Zhu Ruomei is that Zhu Ruomei Ren Yaoqi, although there is no way to verify it, she had discussed the rumors back then with Mr. Pei. There were indeed many rumors, but not all rumors.
When I returned to the warm shed, the competition outside was just a lively time, and even the gentle ladies on weekdays couldn't help but clenched their fists and exclaimed and cheered.
Ren Yaoqi sent Sydney to take the silver to the maid who was holding the basket back and forth for a lot of money, and let the maids around him play each other, only beckoning and leaving behind her mother Li's confidant maid.
"Miss Fifth, what's your order?" Mother respectfully said.
In the warm shed, only Ren Yaoqi was still sitting in the corner. Everyone was paying attention to the game outside, but she did not notice her. Ren Yaoqi took out a bank note worth one hundred taels of face value given to her by Ren Shimin from the purse on his waist and handed it to the mother.
"Before going out, Dad told me to give him a reward. You sent this to the miner named'Zhu Ruomei' you met before, saying that he was good at skill, and this was rewarded by the third master."
The mother looked down at the bank note and was shocked: "Miss Fifth, is this... too much?"
Ren Yaoqi looked helpless: "I also think it's more, but that's what Dad meant, he said he wanted me to find someone with real skills to give a reward. I can't secretly conceal the reward he gave, right?"
When the mother heard this, she was speechless. The three masters have never played the cards according to the cards, and they have no guts to violate them.
"By the way, you send it quietly and ask Zhu Ruomei not to say anything, otherwise he will have to hand in most of the money."
Madam Zhu Ruomei and Yuan Dayong had also heard the conversation before, and she immediately said: "Miss Fifth, please rest assured, the slave and maid will save it."
Ren Yaoqi nodded, and the mother bowed and retired.
Before the hockey game outside ended, the mother came back.
"Miss, he is very grateful for accepting your silver, and he said that he will give you and the third master a longevity tablet." Everyone likes doing good deeds, and the mother is very happy to reply.
Ren Yaoqi was taken aback, and said with a wry smile: "What tablet do I want him to set up? Random!"
The mother covered her mouth and smiled: "There is such a custom in the country that a longevity tablet should be set up for the great benefactor of life. However, the slave and maid also think this is inappropriate. After all, you are still a girl's house, and we are not interested in this, so we refused for you. He had to kneel down and knocked a few heads for you and the master. This person is also very real, and the knocking is really a ringing. It's just...it's just that the man named Yuan Dayong seems to have heard the conversation between the slave servant and Zhu Ruomei. The mother looked at Ren Yaoqi with some anxiety.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while and shook his head: "It's okay. Do you know who this Yuan Dayong is? Hearing his father seems to be the steward of our house?"
The maid hurriedly said: "The slave and maid just went to inquire. Yuan Dayong is the son of one of the guards in the outer courtyard of the mansion. Guanshi Yuan is mainly in charge of some human relations in the outer courtyard. Because Guanshi Yuan is literate, Yuan Dayong also followed him. Dad learned how to read and write, and now works as a tent in a coal store in Yunyang City."
Sure enough, it was the grandmother Li's side had to use, so she could find out the situation clearly without explaining. Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "Fortunately, Mother is suffering."
The mother hurriedly said not dare.
At this time, the cheers from outside shook the sky, and Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but look up at the door.
Ren Yaoyu was so happy that he clapped his hands and said: "We won, we won, we won!"
Ren Yaoying chuckled softly: "Sister Eight, who are the'you' you said? We didn't see you in the game."
Ren Yaoyu looked at the contemptuous and smiled gazes around her, his face flushed, and he gritted his teeth and whispered: "Ren Yaoying, don't you also bet on the youth team! Humph! It's just a bastard, it's a wishful thinking. !"
Ren Yaoying looked at Ren Yaoyu in shock when she heard the words, tears in her eyes, and then turned to look at Ren Yaohua: "Sanjie! What is the eighth sister? She scolded me and called me..."
Ren Yaohua lowered his face and interrupted in disgust: "Shut up all of you! Are you trying to be ashamed!"
The youngest grandma saw something was wrong, so she came to round it off.
Fortunately, the cheers outside were too loud and suppressed their not-so-large quarrel. In addition, except for a few masters, they are close to serving people, so they are not noticeable.
