Chapter 1 Return
The winter of the 17th year of Chengqian came earlier than in previous years.
Just a few days after the Double Ninth Festival, the first heavy snow of this winter was the states and counties near the north.
The day before yesterday was still very cool. As soon as noon arrived, the sky suddenly was covered by a rolling curtain with orange in gray. After a brief sign, dense snowflakes could not wait to sweep the entire world.
However, in one night, all the areas north of Yanzhou changed their clothes, and they were covered in silver.
In the burning room of the earth dragon, Ren Yaoqi lay on the hot kang with his eyes closed, and the quilt pressing on her was a little heavy.
A layer of fine and dense beads of sweat had been soaked in her forehead and neck, and her cheeks were also burned by the heat on the kang, and her breath was filled with the smell of mint.
Through the thick cotton curtains in the inner room, the sound of two maids whispered conversations came.
"You look so beautiful, it doesn't seem like you've drawn it yourself, where did you come from?"
"This is what I asked for by Sister Kumquat beside Aunt Fang. I heard it is the trendy thing in Kyoto in the south, and there is not even in Yunyang City."
"Sister Kumquat? How can you get something from her?"
"Hehe, I said I used it to embroider the upper for Miss Wu. How dare she not give it?"
"You treacherous girl, be careful that Miss Five finds out and asks Aunt Fang to pull you out and match the servant!"
"Okay, you bad hoof... I won't tear your bad mouth."
Through the curtain, there were two maids chasing around the table. The tea set on the table was hit and the sound suddenly became quiet. However, after a moment of pause, it started to make a fuss again. Finally, the people who came to the inner room were much smaller.
At this time, a stern rebuke suddenly inserted: "What are you doing?" It was the voice of an older woman.
It suddenly became quiet outside again.
"Madam Zhu atones for her sins, I..." The two little maids defended urgently.
Madam Zhu interrupted impatiently: "Are you awake, Miss?"
Her voice was not deliberately lowered, but she was still a little anxious. Although she asked this, her steps came to the inner room without stopping.
"I just took the medicine and stopped. I guess I was sleeping heavily now." A maid replied hurriedly, and hurriedly followed, as if she wanted to help the nanny get the curtain in the inner room.
"You go out and guard, don't let someone come in." Madam Zhu stopped the maid's movements.
"Yes." The two maids paused and retreated quickly.
Ren Yaoqi lay there with his eyes closed and he didn't move, as if he was asleep.
The cotton curtain that divides the inner room and the bright room was lifted open, and the stuffy air in the inner room was stirred, and the wind that was slightly cooler than that in the inner room came in.
"Miss? Wake up, Miss..."
The man rushed to the side of the kang, shouted a few times and saw that Ren Yaoqi had no movement, so he reached over and pushed her arm through the bedding.
Ren Yaoqi finally opened his eyes, but he was a little sleepy.
"Madam Zhu?" Her voice was a little dry. She lies on the hot kang for a long time and needs some tea from time to time.
"Hey, it's my servant, do you want to drink water?" A smile immediately squeezed out from Madam Zhu's round face, but there was an anxious look in her eyes.
Ren Yaoqi nodded.
Madam Zhu immediately walked to the inner room and placed a long and short side of a set of pastel teapots and tea pots against the north wall. She poured a tea pot and came back.
She put the tea pot on the kang table, then helped Ren Yaoqi sit up, supported her back with one hand, and brought the tea pot to her lips with the other hand to feed her.
But she was a little anxious. Ren Yaoqi turned his head and the water in the tea pot dripped onto the quilt she covered, and the pine green satin immediately wet.
"Ahem..."
Madam Zhu hurriedly put down the tea pot and patted her back: "Miss, are you okay?"
Ren Yaoqi was completely awake. She pushed Madam Zhu's hand away and glanced at her sideways: "The water is cold..."
Madam Zhu hurriedly smiled and said, "Oh, it must be the two maids on duty who are lazy and have forgotten to exchange hot tea. I will teach them a lesson later."
As he said that, Madam Zhu took a jacket next to him and put it on Ren Yaoqi's shoulder, saying, "Miss, I just received the news that the third wife and Miss Three were on the way back to the house. Although the heavy snow came suddenly, several roads outside the city were blocked overnight, but there were cavalry guards from the Yanbei Palace who opened the road, and the carriage could enter the city before this evening at the latest."
Ren Yaoqi paused: "Have your mother and third sister back?"
She lowered her eyes, making people unable to see the emotions in her eyes, but her fingers that were gathered in her collar could not help but tremble.
Madam Zhu finally didn't hide her anxiety: "Yes, I heard that I was escorted back by the old princess of Yanbei Palace. She set off from the village yesterday morning. The mansion only received the news early this morning. Miss, what should I do now?"
Ren Yaoqi blinked quickly and covered the water light in her eyes. She took off the jacket she draped on her body and wanted to put it on her body. Madam Zhu immediately came up to help, while muttering in Ren Yaoqi's ear: "I don't know what method did the third lady use to persuade the old princess of Yanbei. Miss Fifth, when the third lady comes back, where can you have your place in Ziwei Courtyard?"
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Madam Zhu who was lowering her head and hurriedly buttoning her, but she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. The Ren family had indeed had many monsters and monsters more than ten years ago.
She has been watching the two days, trying to carefully see the trash behind these thick and colorful painted skins.
Madam Zhu did not notice Ren Yaoqi's abnormality, so she buttoned her clasped and raised her head and continued, "The old lady has always liked the third lady more than you, and the third lady is up to her everything. She has the final say in the matter in our yard, no matter how big or small, but she dislikes you and makes things difficult for you everywhere, so that the third lady will not take your daughter to heart, and only believe in her bewitching..."
Speaking of this, Madam Zhu looked at Ren Yaoqi quietly. What surprised her was that Ren Yaoqi just leaned against the backrest of Fang Shengwen with a big red foundation on the kang and looked at her quietly. Her clear eyes were as clear as the best glass, quiet and clear.
Ren Yaoqi remembered that his third sister Ren Yaohua fell into the lotus pond in the autumn of the 16th year of Chengqian because he pushed his sixth brother Ren Yihong and fell into the lotus pond. He was punished by the old lady to go to the village to think about his mistakes.
Their mother, the third wife of the Ren family, went to ask the old lady to plead for mercy and was turned away from the courtyard. Finally, she accompanied her third sister to the village. She was nine years old and was left in the Ren family.
My mother, Li, is a timid and cowardly woman.
Li's cowardice is not only due to her displaced experience when she was young.
In the 47th year of Qinglong, she married into the Ren family and had nothing to do in the first two years. In the third year, she gave birth to a daughter but died within a hundred days. In the fifth year, she gave birth to another daughter.
At this time, the old lady of the Ren family was already very dissatisfied with Li. Fortunately, Li was pregnant again the second year of giving birth to her daughter.
It’s a pity that Li had no children, and the third child was born to his daughter. This is Ren Yaoqi, a fifth lady in the Ren family.
The old lady of the Ren family was completely cold to Li because of this. Three days after Ren Yaoqi was born, she took the concubine of her daughter of her mother's sister as a concubine for the third master of the Ren family.
The noble concubine Fang became pregnant after half a year of entering the house. She gave birth to a pair of twins in ten months, establishing her status in the Ren family.
Ren Yaoqi's birth not only puts his mother's status in the Ren family in danger, but also is an existence that makes her grandmother hates.
Since Li was pregnant with Ren Yao, Mrs. Ren has been full of hope for her baby. She has found a monk to tell her fortune, and has also found an experienced baby nanny to touch her baby, and even asked a wizard to divine the divination. Those people agreed that this baby was a male baby, so Mrs. Ren also firmly believed that her daughter-in-law's third baby was pregnant with a son.
So after Ren Yaoqi was born, Old Lady Ren decided that her new granddaughter was a monster and squeezed away her original grandson's position and couldn't like her.
However, the third lady Ren Yaohua, who was also born by Li, looked like Mrs. Ren when she was young and smart, so she was treated differently by the old lady.
"Miss Fifth?" Seeing Ren Yaoqi staring at her and not speaking, Madam Zhu thought she was sleepy, so she tried to gently push Ren Yaoqi, thinking whether to give her another cup of cold water.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at the hand that Madam Zhu put on her arm.
Madam Zhu's body stiffened, she raised her hand in concealment and stroked her temples, and smiled, "Miss, Aunt Fang said, "Miss, your illness has improved a lot. She also used the original prescription to worry that the effect of the medicine is too strong, so she said that she would ask the doctor to come to the house to take your pulse and prescribe it again later."
Ren Yaoqi said "hmm" and did not object.
Madam Zhu muttered in her heart, why did Miss Wu look a little different these two days? She is just a child who is only ten years old. The occasionally expression in her quiet eyes makes people feel panicked?
Most of the mothers and maids around him have no impression of Ren Yaoqi. Because they have not served her for a long time and will be sent out soon after.
She still remembers this Madam Zhu. In her impression back then, Madam Zhu seemed to be a very kind and caring woman. She would make plans for her and was her confidant.
She remembered that she even had a fight with her third sister Ren Yaohua for this Madam Zhu, and she almost started a fight in the end.
But judging from her current experience, she doesn't think that Madam Zhu has any advantages.
She was not caring enough to serve her and neglected to discipline the maids in her yard. Her words seemed to be all about her master, but in fact she was provoking her relationship with Ren Yaohua everywhere.
Ren Yaohua is domineering and strong-willed, but when she was young, she was stubborn and willful. Under the instigation and provocation of such a person, how can Ziweiyuan be at peace?
This time, she would never allow those people to use the conflicts between their sisters to make trouble and plot against them.
Daddy...Mother...
Ren Yaoqi murmured in his heart, in this life, you must live a hundred years.
