Chapter 81: Muddy water

"Since you have to go to Yunyang City for follow-up visits every month, wouldn't it be inconvenient for you to go back to the mine?" Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile.
Zhu Ruomei scratched her head, and then suddenly realized that this action was a bit indecent, and immediately put her hand down: "I can intercede with the mine manager, and I will do more work on weekdays..."
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "You should concentrate on serving your mother. Although your sister is a capable person, she is only ten years old. She is afraid that she will not be able to take care of it. And last time, my father had asked the steward to return the deed to you. It’s not difficult for you to find a better job in Yunyang City with your abilities. Why not take your mother and sister to live in Yunyang City so that the consultation will be smoother."
Ren Yaoqi knew that the people who took the initiative to sell themselves in the coal mines were either foreigners who had fled to their homes or people whose families were very poor and needed money. Zhu Ruomei will work in the coal kiln of the Ren family because of the urgent need for money to treat her mother. Ren Jia, a young man with a strong physique like Zhu Ruomei, would give twenty to thirty taels of silver at a time as a buyout of his labor.
If there is a choice, few people are really willing to work in the mine. There were also several escaped labor incidents in the coal mines of the Ren family, which made the masters of the Ren family very sad.
Zhu Ruomei was silent for a moment, then raised her head and said, "The little one will repay the thirty taels of silver that the Ren family gave me."
Ren Yaoqi turned his head and thought for a while: "Why not do this. I just want someone to do an important thing for me, and I can't leave it to others. If you feel uncomfortable, please help me. If one thing is done, what about the thirty taels of silver?"
Zhu Ruomei immediately said: "The fifth lady has something to do and asks the little one to say, where can the little one ask you for money, this matter should not be confused."
Ren Yaoqi looked disappointed: "If this is the case, then I can't let you do things for me. I'd better find someone else. It's just that this matter is a bit urgent, and I don't know if I can find a suitable and reliable person. "
Zhu Ruomei thought for a moment, but still compromised: "Then ask Miss Fifth to give orders. The younger one must help you get things done properly, and she will be tight-lipped."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help smiling when he saw him respond.
At this time she and Zhu Ruomei were in the pavilion, and the maids of Apple Mulberry were standing outside the pavilion.
Although there were occasional women-in-laws passing by, but seeing the master resting here, I didn't dare to look any more, and passed by in a hurry.
Ren Yao and Zhu Ruomei were talking, and if their voices were lowered outside, they would be unclear.
Ren Yaoqi confessed to Zhu Ruomei in detail, fearing that he could not remember, and then repeated several important names, place names and events.
"Did you remember?" Ren Yaoqi asked worriedly.
Zhu Ruomei frowned and read what Ren Yaoqi had said in her heart twice, and then nodded: "Miss Fifth, don't worry, the younger ones have memorized them clearly. The place you mentioned is detailed, and everyone has a name and a surname. It's hard to find. When you are young, you will pretend that you will not recognize the young mother."
It’s just that he has some doubts about the reason why Ren Yaoqi asked him to do such a thing, but he also knows that there are many things in the big family that cannot be spoken to outsiders, and it is difficult to ask too much. He just wants to help Ren Yaoqi. Finish this matter.
Seeing that he really remembered, Ren Yaoqi was relieved.
If this Zhu Ruomei is really the Zhu Ruomei she had heard of in her previous life, then it must not have some real abilities, otherwise Xiao Jingxi, who is called "a perfect plan", will not let her own queen. Road to him.
I just don't know if she has so stubbornly in this life, can Zhu Ruomei have the same future as his last life? Many things pay attention to fate, and it would be a pity if he was left in a lifeless life because of her intervention.
Thinking of this in his heart, Ren Yaoqi smiled and nodded: "If this is the case, you should go back first. It just takes about a day or two to do this. Can your mother arrange it?"
"The young one will rush back to Yunyang City to explain to his family. Please rest assured, Miss Wu."
"If there is something I can help at home, let Sister Yuan come and talk to me." Ren Yaoqi said.
Zhu Ruomei solemnly thanked him again, and then left the house.
Ren Yaoqi sat alone in the Yiran Pavilion for a while, seeming to be thinking about something and seeming to be in a daze. The maids outside the pavilion wanted to come in but did not dare to come in.
Until Ren Yaoqi gently caressed the skirt, stood up, gently said: "The wind is rising, go back."
In the afternoon of that day, both Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua were in Li's room, listening to Mother Zhou telling them about family governance, and Li sitting on the kang next to them made soft boots for Ren Shimin.
Xi'er suddenly ran in from outside.
Mother Zhou frowned and scolded her sternly: "What are you doing in such a panic? Where are the rules?"
Xi hurriedly said: "The servant girl just heard the porter's wife say about the Han family, the Han family quarreled."
Li immediately raised his head when he heard that it was the Han family's affairs, and asked in surprise: "What? The Han family? Why did the Han family quarrel?"
Mother Zhou knew that Li's family was very satisfied with the Han family's marriage, and she didn't care to teach the maid's rules, and she looked at Xi'er and waited for her to say the following.
"A dozen or twenty people came from Jizhou at noon today, and they went straight to the Han family's house. It has been a year since the Han family moved to our town. They have always acted low-key and have never been to any guests. , So everyone is a bit weird, and those people are still noisy along the way, and those who have something good will follow to watch the fun."
"The 20 or so people were invited into the Han Mansion by the housekeeper of the Han family, and said that they were relatives in Jizhou. I didn't want these relatives to go in for a while, and there was noise from inside, and the movement was quite loud. Later. Even the old Han family and Young Master Han who were out were hurriedly called back."
Because Li did not let Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua sisters out, they also sat there listening.
Ren Yaohua frowned upon hearing this and asked: "Since he is from Jizhou's hometown and was invited in by the housekeeper of the Han family, he must be a relative. Why did the Han family quarrel with relatives in the hometown so badly? "
Xi'er said: "Some people say that the meaning of the yelling words from the Jizhou people before, it seems that Father Han secretly sold some of the Han family's property. The Han family members were kept in the dark before. When I found out, I came over to make trouble."
Li put half of the shoe soles in his hands into the embroidery basket on one side, a little surprised: "How can this happen?"
"How many properties are in the Han family, don't the people of the Han family know? Only when they were sold did they stand up and say?" Mother Zhou was also a little strange.
"It seems that many years ago, an aunt in the Han family married a sea merchant in her early years. Because her husband and son died in a shipwreck, she returned to the Han family to join her family. It is said that this aunt has saved a lot of valuable treasures. Because she had no children, she later gave her property to the tribe who provided for her care after her death, which was regarded as the public property of the Han family. It was just that the Liao people invaded our Yanbei soon afterwards. Those valuable treasures were all I was raided by the Liao people, so no one from the Han family actually saw those treasures afterwards. Only some old people in the Han family occasionally told the juniors how this aunt was rich in the first place, and what valuable things around her The baby thing. The big guys were supposed to listen to stories and didn’t take it seriously."
Mother Zhou shook her head and laughed: "This can't be taken seriously. I once heard of a shabby settler who brags that their ancestors used gold bricks to pave the road, and even the toilets used by Gong were made of red gold. It's a pity that they were all taken away by the Liao people in the end. No one believed this, but the juniors in the family loved to hear it, and in the end it became more and more evil."
Xi'er shook her head: "The Han family was originally treated as a joke and didn't take it seriously, but a few days ago someone in the Korean family learned that a treasure that originally appeared only in the legend was secretly sold by Mr. Han not long ago. It was given to a foreigner. The Han clan broke out, saying that the legend was true, but the aunt’s property was not taken away by the Liao people, but was hidden by the head of the Han clan. Occupied it for himself, and finally passed on to his daughter and son-in-law by the previous patriarch Han Jianping."
Everyone couldn't help but stared at each other when they heard the words, Li said, "This, is this impossible, right?"
"Oh, they still talked on the road. No wonder it's hard for Mr. Han to accumulate so much property in just a few decades. They originally thought it was Mr. Han who was able to work his own, but now it seems that it should be the ancestor of the Han family. The light. They came this time to ask Father Han for an explanation." Xi'er lowered her voice.
"What do you think?" Ren Yaohua was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned to ask Ren Yaoqi, who was sitting aside listening and did not express any opinions.
Ren Yaoqi returned to Ren Yaohua with a smile, shook his head and said, "After all these years, I can’t tell whether or not this is the case. After all, no one has actually seen the aunt’s belongings...well, maybe except A few people?"
Ren Yaohua couldn't help but frown slightly: "You believe it too?"
Of course Ren Yaoqi didn't believe it, and it would be strange if she believed it.
But she still replied: "I believe it or not, it doesn't matter whether we believe it or not. The important thing is that some people in the Han family believe it."
Maybe some people don't believe it all, but they will get a lot of benefits if they believe it, so they all believe it.
"Moreover, I don't know if my grandfather and grandmother believe it or not." Ren Yaoqi tilted his head and added.
"Believe it or not, what does grandfather and grandmother have to do with those of the Han family?" Ren Yaohua wondered.
Stopping here doesn’t seem to be moral...
So scum continues to codewords, but the speed is a bit slow, so please don't wait anymore and watch it tomorrow morning. (To be continued.
