Scheme of the Official Descendant

Chapter 384 Strategizing

Ren Shijia was very happy to see Ren Yaoqi and sister Ren Yaohua came to see her together, although Ren Yaoqi only met at the wedding ceremony a few days ago.

Xiao Lin Cen can already walk and talk, he is fat and white, he smiles when he sees people, he is very cute. Seeing an acquaintance coming, he quickly climbed to the kang table and grabbed two pieces of honey cakes, stuffed one piece for each of Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua, and looked at them eagerly: "Sister, eat cakes."

It made everyone in the room laugh.

Ren Shijia now has a son and everything is fulfilled, the only thought in his heart is to protect his son to grow up safely. It was just because she had suffered too much before, and seeing her son grow up day by day, she became more and more wary of the other people in the Lin family, for fear that Brother Cen would be harmed one day.

Ren Shijia proposed to Lin Kun several times to move out of the old Lin residence and set up his own family, but Lin Kun had other plans in mind, so he didn't follow Ren Shijia's wishes. Ren Shijia has a docile temperament, and the husband and wife have never blushed for many years of marriage, but because of this incident, Ren Shijia and Lin Kun had several fights.

Ren Shijia is strong as a mother. For the sake of her son, she doesn't care about completely tearing her face apart with the Lin family, but Lin Kun's obsession with the Lin family is too deep.

When Ren Shijia and sister Ren Yaoqi talked about the Ren family's affairs, Ren Shijia was naturally aware of the current plight of her natal family. After the accident, Lin Kun also went to help with the fifth master Ren Shimao, but the Lin family's own affairs were not concerned. At least, Lin Kun can't stay in Baihe Town all the time, not to mention that Lin Kun is only a son-in-law no matter what, and Mrs. Ren may not be able to trust him wholeheartedly. Lin Kun simply came back and only helped the Ren family when they needed his help.

Ren Shijia is naturally worried about her natal family, but she has never asked about outside affairs, even if she is worried, she is powerless.

Ren Yaoqi hugged Lin Cen into her arms, and while peeling the pine nuts for him, she asked Ren Shijia, "Uncle has gone out?"

Ren Shijia wiped Lin Cen's mouth with a handkerchief: "Isn't it the end of the month? He is meeting the shopkeeper in the outer courtyard, and he will return to the inner courtyard for lunch at noon. You will also stay for dinner today. A while ago, Fifth Brother asked someone to I got some mountain delicacies from the Northeast, and asked me to send some, just in time for the kitchen to make some new dishes to try."

Ren Shimao, the fifth master, has done a wide range of business since he left the Ren family to set up his own business. In addition to the pen and ink shop, he also opened a shop specializing in rare goods from all over the world. The kitchen of her home also often receives all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas sent by the guys in Ren Shimao's shop. Master Lin Wu has a lot of money, and he is very generous to his brothers and sisters.

Sure enough, Lin Kun came back before lunch was set in the inner courtyard. Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua stood up to greet him, and he greeted him very gently.

Lin Cen quickly climbed down from the kang, ran to Lin Kun, hugged his leg, and smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes: "Daddy, hug."

Lin Kun didn't come to hug his grandson or son, he bent down and picked up his son, let him sit on his arm, pinched his round fleshy face lightly and asked with a smile: "Brother Cen?" Are you being good today? Did you make your girl angry?"

Lin Cen was biting his finger in foolishness, Ren Shijia couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward to take Lin Cen, and said angrily, "Go in and change your clothes and clean your hands before hugging your son."

Lin Kun didn't care too much, and went into the inner room with a smile.

Lin Cen broke free from Ren Shijia's embrace and got off the ground, chasing his father with short legs: "Daddy, daddy..."

Ren Shijia looked at his son's back and complained half-truthfully to Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua: "A little heartless person knows to pester his father." Even though he said that, Ren Shijia had a smile on his face. smiling.

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help laughing watching the interaction of the three members of this family.

After eating in Ren Shijia's yard, Brother Cen had the habit of taking a lunch break, so Ren Shijia carried his son to the inner room to coax him to sleep, and Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua took advantage of the opportunity to say goodbye.

It happened that Lin Kun was also going to the outer courtyard, so he went out with his sisters by the way.

Lin Kun said a few words of consolation about the Ren family, and mentioned his wife and son. Ren Shijia and Brother Cen were in a good mood today because of the presence of guests. Lin Kun invited them to come to Lin's house for a walk on weekdays. .

Ren Yaoqi smiled and said: "Before I heard my aunt ask my mother about the house in Baoping Hutong, I also thought that it would be more convenient for my aunt and Brother Cen to come and go if we lived nearer."

Lin Kun paused for a moment, and then said: "Your aunt mentioned before that she wanted to buy a house in Baoping Hutong. I asked someone to inquire about it, but I didn't see the right one."

Ren Yaoqi nodded, and said bluntly: "Ever since I got Brother Cen, my aunt has always wanted to move out. Although the old Lin family house is big, it is inevitable that there are many people talking about it and it is not convenient."

In fact, although the population of Amenlin's family is quite large, but because the house is big enough, it is far from the point where there are too many people. It's just that Lin Kun didn't refute Ren Yaoqi's words. They all knew why Ren Shijia didn't like living in Lin's house.

On the contrary, Lin Kun was a little surprised. Although Ren Yaoqi was young, she had always been sensible and sensible, and never embarrassed others in person. Why did she repeatedly mention the Lin family's family affairs in front of him today?

After a moment of silence, Lin Kun sighed and said with a wry smile, "Things are never that easy."

Why doesn't Lin Kun want to make his wife feel at ease, but he has too many things on his shoulders, and he has been obsessed with them for so many years, and some things don't just let go when he wants to.

Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, but said with a smile: "I think the success of something depends on the timing. When the timing comes, things will be easy."

Lin Kun's heart skipped a beat at Ren Yaoqi's words, and he couldn't help but look at Ren Yaoqi in surprise,

Lin Kun bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then tentatively said: "I got a good pot of Longjing a while ago. I'm a rough man who doesn't know how to taste tea. I heard that your father knows this way best. Why don't you taste it for me? If you think the tea is still good, can you bring it back to third brother for me?"

Ren Yaoqi did not refuse, but smiled.

Ren Yaohua took a look at Ren Yaoqi. Although she didn't understand which song Ren Yaoqi was singing, she still didn't ask anything. Seeing that Ren Yaoqi didn't intend to dismiss her, she still followed Ren Yaoqi.

Lin Kun took them to a gazebo open on all sides in the courtyard, and then ordered someone to bring tea and tea sets from his study.

Although Lin Kun is the uncle of Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua, he is a man with a different surname after all, so it is not easy to talk behind closed doors. Instead, he sits in the gazebo and drinks tea together in a fair manner, even if people see him, he will not say anything.

So the three of them tasted tea in the gazebo for half an hour before Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua bid farewell and left.

Lin Kun watched their carriage drive slowly out of the Lin Mansion. Although he still had a peaceful smile on his face, he still hadn't recovered from the overwhelming excitement in his heart.

Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua didn't speak after getting into the carriage, Ren Yaoqi leaned on the leading pillow and lowered her eyes slightly, not knowing what she was thinking, but Ren Yaohua turned the teacup in her hand in a daze.

It wasn't until the carriage turned into Baoping Hutong that Ren Yaohua finally asked, "Can you really separate the Lin family?"

Ren Yaoqi raised her eyes and smiled, then shook her head: "Of course I don't have this ability."

Ren Yaohua frowned.

Ren Yaoqi said again: "This is the Lin family's housework, so in the end it is my uncle himself, and no one can force him to succeed. He must have a lot of bargaining chips in his hands for many years, and he has been hiding it because of the timing. I don’t dare to take risks before I arrive.”

And if Lin Kun was really the kind of person who had to depend on others for everything, Ren Yaoqi would not have picked him, even though part of the reason she picked the Lin family was because of Ren Shijia and Lin Cen.

Ren Yaoqi will never forget the kindness others gave her in difficult times, and it is only natural to reciprocate. Otherwise, Ren Yaoqi's choice is definitely not just the Lin family.

And Lin Kun is an extremely tolerant person, his scheming is deep enough, and his ability is not bad. From the point of view of Ren Shijia's niece, although Ren Yaoqi doesn't like him very much, if he works together, this kind of person is worth admiring. Because he has a clear goal, is cautious, and will not waver easily.

"Then is the time now?" Ren Yaohua still frowned.

Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, and said with a smile: "If someone helps, the time will naturally come. Lin Kun has worked hard to sell well in front of the Ren family these years, isn't it just to win the support of the Ren family? It's just that the Ren family is afraid that they can't let him It's good, the other house I found for him is much better than Ren's."

Others don't know what Old Master Ren has planned for the Lin family these years, but Ren Yaoqi knows it very well. The Ren family has never done business at a loss. If it is said that Mr. Ren has no plan to use his son-in-law to take a share of the Lin family after the separation, even if Ren Yaoqi believed in Lin Kun, he himself would not believe it.

Ren Yaohua was silent for a longer time after hearing the words.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Ren Yaoqi looked at her and said with a smile: "Third sister is worried that the Lei family will not agree?"

Ren Yaohua finally raised her head when she heard that Lei's family was mentioned.

Ren Yaoqi asked Ren Yaohua to come with her today, and she didn't shy away from Lin Kun when she was talking to her. She wanted to teach her something, so she turned her head and asked, "The Lei family and the Han family have been fighting for so many years. After the balance of the palace has tilted towards the Lei family, the momentum of the Han family has not decreased too much, and they still have the ability to compete with the Lei family, do you know why?"

Ren Yaohua frowned and thought for a while: "It's because the Lei family moved back not long ago and hasn't established a firm foothold in Yanbei yet. In addition, the Lei family has withered, so it's not easy to re-cultivate contacts?"

Ren Yaoqi nodded and said: "This is also part of the reason. Let me ask you again, if one day Yanbei Palace needs to suppress a certain merchant for some reason, it is impossible for Yanbei Palace to do this kind of thing by itself. Who will this matter be handed over to?"

What Ren Yaoqi was alluding to was actually the matter of the Ren family. During this period of time, she sometimes chatted with Ren Yaohua about the situation of the various families in Yanbei, but Ren Yaoqi did not tell the inside story of the Ren family's unlucky Ren Yaohua.

Ren Yaohua thought for a while and replied, "The Han family?"

Ren Yaoqi smiled: "Looking at history, even Ming Jun will have one or two traitors around him. In fact, it may not be that Ming Jun does not distinguish between loyal and traitorous, but that there are some things that loyal ministers cannot do, and someone must take the blame for Ming Jun. Although this metaphor is not appropriate, the Han family is not a traitor, but it can explain the relationship between the Yanbei Palace, the Lei family and the Han family. The Lei family is a family, and it is not convenient for the children of the family to do business. Few, but they are all taken care of by the stewards. As Lei Ting is the head of the Lei family, it is not convenient for him to do it himself, so some things are not so easy for the Lei family to take over. At the beginning, the Yun family and the Su family were similar. relation."

Ren Yaohua seemed to realize something.

"So what the Lei family needs most now is a right-hand man. Originally, the Lei family and the Ren family were married, and it would be most suitable for the Ren family to play this role, but it's a pity..."

It's a pity that Mr. Ren's eyelids are too shallow, and it's embarrassing for Ren. Even if the Lei family really likes the Ren family, Ren Yaoqi will not agree to let the Lei family and the Ren family cooperate. Wear as big a hat as your head has, otherwise what the Lei family will get is not only help, but disaster.

"But now the Lin family is a good choice. After you marry into the Lei family, the Lin family and the Lei family can be regarded as in-laws. Although my uncle is a bit deeper, his ability is good. In addition, if the Lei family can be married at this time If you give him a hand and let him get back what he deserves, he will definitely be grateful to Lei Ting, and the Lei family will also get a right-hand man. This is a win-win situation for both the Lei family and the Lin family."

After hearing this, Ren Yaohua was a little stunned. Although she was no longer as impulsive as before under Ren Yaoqi's suggestions these days, she would use her brain instead of action when encountering things, but listening to Ren Yaoqi's words , she still felt the gap between the two. Although she could understand these twists and turns after Ren Yaoqi's explanation, it was only enough to understand.

Ren Yaoqi didn't care about Ren Yaohua's stupefaction, and then sighed: "The Ren family can't protect themselves, the foundation of Xian Wangfu is not in Yanbei, and the Lei family is at the cusp of the storm. Third sister, the road ahead is not easy, so We will inevitably need to calculate more."

Ren Yaoqi has no way to support a natal family that can shelter their sisters in a short period of time, but she can bind the interests of the Lei family and the "natal family". When the Lin family played its due role, the members of the Lei family naturally did not dare to underestimate Ren Yaohua, the head wife.

This is the solution that Ren Yaoqi came up with. Although it is not perfect, she can only do this so far.

Ren Yaohua naturally knew that Ren Yaoqi's careful calculation was for her to marry into Lei's family in the future, so she was speechless for a while. These years, she always felt that she had to protect her mother and sister. In fact, she knew in her heart that her sister, Ren Yaoqi, had always been protecting her.

"When are you going to see the Lei family?" Ren Yaohua asked after being silent for a while.

Ren Yaoqi was a little hesitant, she didn't want to talk to Lei Ting in person, because it wasn't suitable.

After thinking about it, Ren Yaoqi shook his head and said, "I don't plan to show up, I'd better let my uncle find Lei Ting."

Seeing that Ren Yaohua frowned and said nothing, Ren Yaoqi thought she was worried that the two families could not reach an agreement, so she smiled and said, "I heard that the Han family and the Yun family have gotten closer recently?"

Although Ren Yaoqi rarely goes out these days, it doesn't mean she doesn't know anything about the outside world. On the contrary, she pays close attention to those families.

Han Yunqian performed outstandingly in this autumn, won the first place in Jieyuan, and was appreciated by a civil official named Sheng Shihong in Yanbei. Although Sheng Shihong did not come from a wealthy family, he has served King Yanbei for many years and is the first counselor of the Yanbei Palace. If the Yanbei Palace is compared to the imperial court, then this grand man can be regarded as the chief assistant of Yanbei's cabinet.

So although Han Yunqian has not yet obtained an official position in Yanbei, his future is bright because he was accepted as a student by Sheng Shihong. Although the Han family is far inferior to the Yun family, Han Yunqian is a rare talent.

Now that the Su family is going downhill, and the Lei family has moved up from behind, there are faint signs of being separated from the Yun family. No matter how calm the Yun family is, they have to find another way when the marriage with the Yanbei Palace fails.

Ren Yaohua didn't know these things, so she couldn't help asking: "Is it possible that the Yun family can still marry the Han family?"

Ren Yaohua thinks it is unlikely, after all, there is a gap between the family backgrounds of the two parties, but Ren Yaoqi knows that the Han family married the Yun family in the previous life. On the premise of aligned interests, nothing is impossible.

"I remember that the young lady of the Yun family is one or two years older than the third sister, and she will definitely get married in the next two years." Ren Yaoqi shook her head and said, "The Han family wants to form an alliance with the Yun family. You will be at a disadvantage in the struggle, so the Lei family needs to make a decision quickly. The Lin family took the initiative to come to the door at this time, which just fits the Lei family's wishes."

"What about the Su family?"

Ren Yaoqi took a sip of tea and smiled when she heard the words. Although she didn't say it directly, Ren Yaohua understood what Ren Yaoqi meant.

The Su family may have become outcasts long ago.

Ren Yaohua originally thought that these scheming struggles were far away from her, but now it seems that she has stepped into the center of this whirling lair. It was impossible to say that she wasn't scared, but she raised her head and glanced at Ren Yaoqi who looked calm and calm, but found that she didn't feel scared anymore, but a surge of energy surged up in her heart.

She thought of Lei Ting, that man always looked calm and confident, never flustered. Ren Yaohua knew that Ren Yaoqi and Lei Ting belonged to the same kind of people, as if there was no problem in the world that they couldn't solve, even before Mount Tai collapsed, they could treat it calmly. Ren Yaohua also wanted to be like them at this moment, not for any other reason, just to be able to stand with them when they needed to share their worries, instead of hiding behind them and accepting asylum.

Ren Yaoqi didn't know that Ren Yaohua's temperament had changed after being taught a lesson by her.

What Ren Yaoqi thought was that leaving aside the personal enmity between the Han family and the Ren family, it would not be a bad thing for Yan Bei to keep the Han family. The alliance between the Han family and the Yun family, the integration of the Lei family and the Lin family, and the Yanbei Palace sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, all forces in Yanbei can achieve checks and balances, which is conducive to the long-term stability of Yanbei.

If the Han family is completely suppressed, and the Yun family also dies, then the momentum of the Lei family and the Lin family in Yanbei will be unmatched in the long run. This is actually not a good thing for the Lei family. Sometimes having a pressing competitor by your side can promote the development of the family and reassure the superiors.

Ren Yaoqi is not an ordinary housewife, and with Xiao Jingxi's relationship, she will naturally not be limited to the narrow grievances and interests between the family.

So Ren Yaoqi didn't intend to interfere with the affairs of the Han family and the Yun family, as long as Mr. Han didn't do too much to hurt her important people, she didn't mind everyone's peaceful coexistence.

Not long after returning from Lin's house, Ren Yaoqi received a message from Lin Kun, and Lei Ting really agreed to cooperate with Lin Kun.

In fact, Lei Ting's choice is much wider than that of the Lin family, but Lei Ting made a decision so quickly, there must be Ren Yaohua's relationship in it.

Not long after this incident, there were rumors that the Lin family was about to split up.

Lin Kun's family was naturally unwilling to give half of the property to Lin Kun, but this time Lin Kun was obviously prepared. The documents left behind were spread out in front of everyone, with black and white writing clearly.

The old lady of the Lin family refused to admit it. Lin Kun talked with the old lady in private for half an hour, and he didn't know how Lin Kun talked to the old lady. After closing his mouth, he agreed to divide the Lin family's property according to the will of Lin Kun's great-grandfather when he was alive. It's just that Mrs. Lin's face was very ugly when she made this decision, and she couldn't get sick after returning home.

The Lei family did not intervene in this matter from the beginning to the end, but Ren Yaoqi knew better than anyone that the Lei family had contributed. Otherwise, Lin Kun alone would not be able to invite the respected elders of the Lei family to come forward.

In the end, what forced Mrs. Lin to give in was nothing more than the evidence that Lin's family had murdered Lin Kun's heirs in order to embezzle the property of the second family and murdered Lin Kun's heirs over the years.

The grievances between Lin Kun and the long house are no longer just a family property dispute, so Lin Kun is not afraid to tear up the face with the long house and face Bo in court. The reason why Lin Kun has kept silent all these years is not to estimate the overall situation of the Lin family, but to wait A chance to kill with one hit.

With the help of Lei's family, Lin Kun finally arrived.
