Chapter 74: Marriage

Ren Yaoqi returned to the main room with great concern, Li was still sitting on the kang with Ren Yaohua, and Mother Zhou stood by and reported the matter. Maybe it was because Li told her to teach Ren Yaohua on household affairs, so she reported today. Need to be more detailed.
"...The maids' summer shirts have also been made, using the sewing team in their own house, and the masters' clothes are handed over to the Tan Ji tailor shop in Yunyang City. The masters have their winter clothes last year. Many of them were made by Tan Ji, and the old lady praised their good workmanship. Originally these things were in charge of the fifth wife, but recently the fifth wife is uncomfortable and inconvenient to handle things. The older lady left the house to change the season of clothes. Young grandma. Just before the fall of the previous year, I bought a batch of summer cloths in the mansion. The materials are very good, but the masters of the colors are afraid that they don’t like them anymore. They are just used to make summer clothes for the maids."
"Sister-in-law is a capable person, can this save a lot of expenses in the house?" Ren Yaohua listened and turned around.
Said to Lee.
I don’t want Grandma Zhou, but she said: "The young and old grandmother is very capable, that is... you are still young, and you have little experience..."
Ren Yaohua listened to Mother Zhou as if there was something in the words, and looked at her with some puzzlement, waiting for her to follow.
Mother Zhou whispered: "My grandmother has nothing to say for the elderly daughters-in-laws and wives in the house, but the younger maids used to make clothes with the new materials of the season selected by the masters. Far from being as good as those in the mansion, but the colors and designs were fashionable back then, and they were happy to wear them. So although the grandmother did this kindly, she might not be able to please in the end. People are like this, and if you take advantage of it, it’s all right. Yes, if you feel that you lose a little bit, it will be blamed on the person involved."
"If this is the case, doesn't she know that the eldest mother has been in charge of the house for so many years? Why didn't she mention the elder sister, but let her do it?" Ren Yaohua was a little puzzled.
Mother Zhou glanced at Li when she heard the words, if she would not say anything on weekdays, but now Ren Yaohua is not young, and some things will be too late if she doesn’t teach them. This is also when Li asked her to tell Ren Yaohua about these chores. s reason.
So she sighed: "No matter how good this mother-in-law is, she is not a real mother after all."
After thinking about it, Mother Zhou continued: "The eldest wife may not disregard the eldest grandmother, but she also has her considerations. The eldest son of the aristocratic family has always inherited the family business, and this family will eventually let the eldest master take charge. But now the elder and the eldest wife are in their prime of life, and the eldest and young grandmother will have to live under the eldest wife for many years. If the elders and grandmothers have first contact with family affairs, it will go smoothly, the elders may value the granddaughter-in-law of the next generation more than the daughter-in-law. When the mother-in-law is in charge, she will be less powerful in front of her daughter-in-law."
Seeing Ren Yaohua stunned, Mother Zhou was a bit earnest and thoughtful: "So the mother-in-law always has to give her daughter-in-law a little bit of prestige. Think about it, if the grandmother does not do well this time, from the old lady to the maidservant. I have a complaint against her. When the eldest wife comes forward to protect her and clean up the mess, what will happen to her in the future?"
Ren Yaohua frowned: "In the future, my sister-in-law will respect her eldest mother more and dare not to easily violate her opinion?"
Grandma Zhou nodded with satisfaction: "The eldest wife only needs to be obedient to her mother-in-law and to be with her, instead of crossing her mother-in-law to get a face in front of the old lady. In this way, she will naturally protect her. , Don't let her suffer a big loss."
Ren Yaohua couldn't help being silent for a moment, and sighed: "There are so many twists and turns in this house."
Li covered his mouth and smiled, looked at each other with Mother Zhou, and patted Ren Yaohua's hand lightly: "You slowly follow Mother Zhou to learn, and you will learn a little bit every day. When...you are almost ready to leave."
Ren Yaohua hadn't paid much attention to Li's abnormality today. After hearing this sentence and seeing the expression on her face, he suddenly realized something and couldn't help but flushed.
She opened her mouth to ask, but after all she was embarrassed to ask.
Ren Yaoqi stood quietly and watched for a while. Li looked up and saw her and waved at her: "Qi'er, what are you standing there for? You come here too."
Ren Yaoqi walked obediently, sat with Ren Yaohua, and listened to Mother Zhou to continue talking about housework.
Later, Li and Mother Zhou went out to deal with matters in the yard, and Ren Yaohua asked Ren Yaoqi: "Did your father mention anything before you went out?"
Seeing Ren Yaohua's natural expression on his face, Ren Yaoqi nodded, knowing that she must have guessed something, "Yes."
Ren Yaohua lowered his head and was silent for a while, still couldn't help asking, "Which one is it?"
Although the words were not straightforward, Ren Yaoqi understood what she was asking.
"The Han family. But the elders have not yet determined the candidates," Ren Yaoqi said, looking at Ren Yaohua's expression.
Ren Yaohua was stunned again.
Ren Yaoqi also stopped talking, and there was silence between the two sisters.
Finally, after a long time, Ren Yaohua recovered. She also noticed that Ren Yaoqi's expression was a little strange, and she couldn't help but feel a little thoughtful.
Two more days later, the Han family visited again, this time it was Master Han and Mrs. Han and the Han family siblings. Master Han and Master Ren went to the outer courtyard, while Master Han Yunqian was called to have tea.
Ren's family knew the meaning of the Han family's visit this time, and they were more enthusiastic about it.
The old lady condemned people to come and ask Li and Ren Yaohua to go to the Ronghua Academy, and Li quickly sent Ren Yaohua back to dress up.
Ren Yaohua looked at her body: "My clothes can meet guests."
"This green dress looks unspirited, so you should wear red. The silver-red embroidered silver thread was very good last time. You go back and change it. The clothes are heavy and the golden hairpin on your head is changed. It’s the pair of chubby beads and tassels." Li explained in detail, and finally was not at ease, so he said to Mother Zhou, "You should look at her."
Ren Yaohua glanced at Ren Yaoqi, turned around and went out with Mother Zhou.
Li also called the maid in the house to clean up for her.
Ren Yaoqi watched Li's hair combing there, walked to Li's side, and picked a hairpin for her.
Li touched her head and confessed: "I will go to your grandmother with your sister, and you will do your needlework in the yard."
Ren Yaoqi nodded, and handed the pair of rich and solemn golden-life peach grasshopper inlaid jade coral hairpins to Xi'er who combed Li's hair.
After a while, Ren Yaohua returned.
She wore a silver-red and silver-lined double-breasted jacket, a silver moonflower dress, and a lively ingot double bun on her head, with a fringed hairpin with pearls, she looked pretty and lovable.
Li looked at her, nodded, and took her to Ronghua Academy.
Ren Yaoqi watched them leave, and after a while he also left the yard.
She was still a little worried, and wanted to visit Ronghua Academy.
When I walked to the veranda next to the garden, I glanced casually and saw a person standing on the rockery in the garden.
Ren Yaoqi stopped, and after a pause, she walked slowly into the garden.
In the early spring season, the garden of Ren's family gradually became vigorous, the green clothes all over the yard appeared, and even the rockery made of Taihu Lake sometimes grew some grass. Originally, the woman who cleaned the yard wanted to pull out the grass, but was stopped by Ren Shimin, saying that it was better and more wild.
No one dared to be beak the taste of the third master, so some of those grasses grew wild.
Ren Yaoqi's footsteps all the way slowly, she came out casually, behind only two close-fitting maids, Apple and Mulberry. The two maids dared not say anything, but silently followed Ren Yaoqi and walked with their heads down.
The people standing on the rockery were very alert. They noticed them before Ren Yaoqi approached and turned their heads.
Qingjun's face, quiet and deep eyes, with the quiet precipitation that young people rarely find, is Han Yunqian.
Han Yunqian looked at her quietly.
Ren Yaoqi wore a goose-yellow plain coat, and the long, plain-colored skirt on her lower body showed the real purple embroidered hem. The light golden sunlight of the early spring was evenly scattered on her body, soft and warm, and the girl was fair. The skin seems to be broken.
"Young Master Han." Ren Yaoqi stopped five steps away and bowed his knees.
Han Yunqian retracted his gaze, bowed his eyes and gave a salute, and called out Miss San.
"Why is Young Master Han here alone?" Ren Yaoqi looked around and saw that besides Han Yunqian, there was only a small servant not far away. He hurried over to salute when he saw her.
"Brother Yiyan wants me to wait for him here. He just left temporarily when something happened." Han Yunqian replied gently and rationally.
Ren Yaoqi's gaze crossed his shoulders to look at the rockery he was staring at before.
I heard that because of the excellent feng shui layout of this house, the Ren family basically did not make major changes to the house after moving in.
This Taihu rock rockery should be some years old. The grotesque stones are piled up to look like birds and beasts, but Ren Yaoqi feels that a stone that looks like a goshawk on the upper right of the rockery seems to have broken one wing, one wing. The Goshawk always felt a little strange standing there.
"The feng shui here is very good, are you right?" Han Yunqian also turned his head, looked at the rockery and smiled, "Brother Yiyan said that this rockery is just above the eyes of the five elements and gossip, so he needs to rest. Must be superior."
Because the two walked through the lamp array last time, Han Yunqian knew that Ren Yaoqi understood this.
