Scheme of the Official Descendant

Maybe because she realized that her aggressive attitude made most of the girls in Yanbei unhappy, Yan Ningshuang showed her demeanor this time and asked Ren Yaoqi to ask the question first, and she answered the source.

Ren Yaoqi also wanted to try this Ms. Yan's depth, so she didn't refuse. She thought about it for a while and said, "What future generations expect is not out of order. Farmers and workers gain, men and women have food and clothing. Common people are rich, officials and deacons... ..."

Before Ren Yaoqi finished speaking, Yan Ningshuang interrupted: "From "Mu Tianzi Biography"." She glanced at Ren Yaoqi, curled the corner of her mouth, "It's your turn" Qiaoli, exhausted her skills, Hengguang Yanzhu, Yuyao Xinghan." Where does this sentence come from?"

Ren Yaoqi also answered quickly: "From "You Ming Lu"."

Yan Ningshuang was a little surprised. "The Nether Record" is a novel of ghosts, and she didn't expect Ren Yaoqi to read it too.

Next, the two of you came and went back and forth to write their own questions. In order to find out about Yan Ningshuang, Ren Yaoqi selected various miscellaneous books such as history books, Mingjing, travel notes, geography, etc. To Ren Yaoqi's surprise, Yan Ningshuang was able to tell the source. Although she took the exams were some common books, but at Yan Ningshuang's age, she was able to read them all and remember them. competition.

Yan Ningshuang, with the aim of winning Ren Yaoqi, even took exams on astronomy and calendar, medical books and pharmacopoeias, Buddhist scriptures and Taoism. But Yan Ningshuang was shocked that no matter how biased the source of the sentence she said, Ren Yaoqi could really answer it. She herself has the ability of photographic memory, so she has memorized all the books in her study at home, whether she can understand her is secondary, she does not believe that Xin Yaoqi has the same ability as her! But when the two stood face to face, Ren Yaoqi obviously couldn't take advantage of it.

The two of them come and go, but the people below are watching with gusto. Except for the three adults, all the people present here are women. Some of the book titles that Ren Yaoqi and Yan Ningshuang said they have never even heard of before, but these two can easily recite a paragraph or a sentence.

The reason why Ren Yaoqi and Yan Ningshuang were able to answer each other's questions was because the collection of books in both Pei Zhiyan's study and the Yan family's study basically included most of the books in circulation on the market. Especially in Pei Zhiyan's study room, many people decorated the study room according to Pei Dishi's collection of books. Unless it is some rare rare copies that are hard to see, they are not willing to show others easily.

Seeing that it was noon, the two still hadn't decided the winner, and neither could confuse the other. The princess looked at the sky and discussed with Mrs. Xu: "Can you think of a way to quickly decide the winner?"

Pei Zhiyan, who was sitting next to him, heard their conversation, and said leisurely: "I have a way to make them quickly write and decide the winner."

The concubine smiled and said, "Mr. Pei, if you have any ideas, why don't you tell me?"

Ren Yaoqi and Yan Ningshuang also looked at Pei Zhiyan when they heard the words.

Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly, and asked Ren Yaoqi and Yan Ningshuang: "Are the two ladies familiar with "Miscellaneous Talks of Qiuyang"?"

Just now, Yan Ningshuang uttered a sentence from "Qiuyang Miscellaneous Talks" for Ren Yaoqi to guess, that's why Pei Zhiyan asked this question. This book "Miscellaneous Talks of Qiuyang" is not a great work, but some essays about customs and geography, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing, flowers, birds, fish and insects written by an old scholar in the previous dynasty.

Ren Yaoqi said: "I can't say I have read it well, I have read it a little."

Yan Ningshuang glanced at Ren Yaoqi: "I've seen it a little too."

Pei Zhiyan nodded and said with a smile: "Then it's just fair, I ask a question about this book, whoever answers it will win?"

Pei Zhiyan looked at Ren Yaoqi. It was Yan Ningshuang who asked the question before, and Miss Yan took the initiative, so strictly speaking, it was Ren Yaoqi who suffered. The other two adults and the nanny sent by the queen mother felt that they had no objection after hearing this.

Ren Yaoqi didn't care when she heard the words, she bowed her head and said respectfully: "I have no objection."

Although on the surface Yan Ningshuang took advantage, Yan Ningshuang's face was not happy, and her head was already sweating. Originally, I thought that I would be able to easily beat Ren Yaoqi by reading a lot of books, but I didn't want Ren Yaoqi to be so powerful. Now that Pei Zhiyan said that she would come up with a question, although she believed that Pei Zhiyan would not help Ren Yaoqi to plot against her, Yan Ningshuang was still a little cautious about things that were not sure of victory.

Now she is the only person sent by the Queen Mother, she can't lose to Ren Yaoqi, otherwise she won't be able to do business with the Queen Mother, and she won't be able to hold her head up in the Yan family in the future.

But Miss Yan wanted to think about it, but the people around her didn't give her a chance to think about it. After all, everyone was a little hungry after sitting here for half a day. The nuns sent by the empress dowager were afraid that Yanbei Palace and Ren Yaoqi would repent, so they hurriedly helped Yan Ningshuang agree.

Pei Zhiyan leaned back on the back of the chair, tilted his head and pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Wei Xiucai once visited a place called Laohu'ao by the locals. What is the staple food for the villagers in Laohu'ao in winter?"

Yan Ningshuang was startled when she heard the words, thought about it carefully, and then said: "Master Pei, this is not mentioned in "Miscellaneous Talks of Qiuyang"."

Pei Zhiyan smiled kindly: "Miss Yan, are you sure? Where's Miss Ren?"

Ren Yaoqi stood there with a strange expression on her face, she was very familiar with this kind of scene.

"Miss Ren?" Seeing that Ren Yaoqi was silent, Pei Zhiyan called her again.

Ren Yaoqi coughed lightly and said, "It's sweet potatoes and cabbage."

Pei Zhiyan raised his eyebrows, the smile in his eyes dissipated, he nodded, and praised: "Not bad."

Yan Ningshuang's complexion changed, and she distinguished: "The staple food of the villagers in Laohu'ao is not mentioned in "Qiuyang Miscellaneous Talks"."

Pei Zhiyan looked at Ren Yaoqi and said with a smile: "What does Miss Ren think?"

Ren Yaoqi suddenly wanted to laugh, but she still replied in a serious manner: "It is true that the miscellaneous notes about "Tiger Col" were not mentioned, but in the same book, there is an article about "Yuyang Mountain" in Ziyang, a neighboring county. It was said in that article that Wei Xiucai met a woodcutter when climbing high with his friends on the Double Ninth Festival.

Pei Zhiyan looked at Yan Ningshuang again: "Miss Yan?"

Yan Ningshuang bit her lip, her face was pale and her eyes were red.

The nanny on the side quickly said: "Sir Pei, why don't you ask another question? The two ladies are not ready yet."

Pei Zhiyan glanced at the nanny with a half-smile, bowed his head to drink tea, and didn't respond.

Someone below laughed and said: "Yes, it's better to ask what Ms. Yan knows and what Ms. Ren doesn't know, so that the "two ladies" are ready."

Now that nanny couldn't hold back anymore, but this was in Yanbei, even if she belonged to the Queen Mother, these unscrupulous people would not betray her.

On the contrary, Ren Yaoqi said very generously: "Master Pei just ask another question." Otherwise, she would always have the feeling of going home to complain and calling the adults to bully Yan Ningshuang, which is really not kind.

Seeing what Ren Yaoqi said, Pei Zhiyan said, "Then ask another question." He looked at Yan Ningshuang, and asked with a smile, "Both of you have read "Zhiguai Ji" and "Yinchuan County Chronicle", right?"

These two books were also asked by Yan Ningshuang to Ren Yaoqi before, anyway, Pei Zhiyan still took good care of Yan Ningshuang from the outside.

Ren Yaoqi nodded, and Yan Ningshuang also nodded.

Pei Zhiyan said gently in a soothing voice: "The Collection of Zhiguai mentions that there is a kind of sea monster with a bird head and a snake body with fleshy wings. How long will it take for more than a hundred people to migrate from Minchuan County to Yuyang County in the summer of the 22nd year of Guangyuan?"

Another inexplicable question, Yan Ningshuang estimated the distance from Minchuan County to Yuyang County in her heart. Although the sea monster has fleshy wings, according to the records in the book, it needs to look for food after flying for a long time, and its movements are slow , if you convert it, it will take more than a month to say the least. But Yan Ningshuang didn't dare to say this answer casually, she couldn't help but glance at Ren Yaoqi.

There was no superfluous expression on Ren Yaoqi's face, and it was hard to tell whether she knew the answer or didn't know the answer.

Seeing Yan Ningshuang hesitate, Pei Zhiyan added leisurely: "If you two have the same answer, then the one who gives the correct answer first wins."

Just as Ren Yaoqi was about to speak, Yan Ningshuang hurriedly said: "It will probably take more than a month."

Pei Zhiyan was noncommittal, and looked at Ren Yaoqi again.

Ren Yaoqi said: "They can't reach Yuyang anymore. It is recorded in the "Yinchuan County Chronicles" that a large-scale plague occurred near Dazhou and Lizhou from the end of spring in the 22nd year of Guangyuan. In the hardest-hit area, ten rooms are empty, and there are few living people."

Pei Zhiyan laughed, nodded, and said "That's right". Then, ignoring the eyes of the nanny at the side, he stood up and left the table.

The blood on Yan Ningshuang's face faded quickly, and she couldn't believe that she would lose to Ren Yaoqi. There was faint laughter from the audience, and Yan Ningshuang felt that these voices were laughing at her, and the words she said to Ren Yaoqi at the beginning seemed to be slapping herself in the face.

Ren Yaoqi saw that Yan Ningshuang looked absent-minded, so she didn't say anything to her, and went back to her seat. The ten ladies from the imperial court have all appeared one by one. Although there are still many ladies from Yanbei who have not appeared, everyone knows that the highlight of this year's Qianjin Banquet has passed.

Ren Yaoqi almost single-handedly defeated the ten ladies sent by the queen mother, and won very beautifully. Not only did she win face for the Yanbei Palace, but also the other ladies in Yanbei were also honored. Ren Yaoqi made a big splash this time and became famous in Yanbei. Although there are many people who are envious of her, compared to Yan Ningshuang and the others, most people in Yanbei would rather Ren Yaoqi win.

The concubine is in a good mood today, and she is about to leave after saying a few words on the scene. After lunch and a short rest, the Qianjin Banquet will continue, but Ren Yaoqi's mission has been successfully completed. She breathed a sigh of relief when she got off the stage.

The princess saw it and couldn't help but smiled and praised: "It's really beautiful to win today."

Xiao Jinglin also said at the side: "I thought those people carefully selected by the queen mother are so powerful."

On the contrary, Ren Yaoqi felt a little embarrassed, remembering that Xiao Jinglin hid a bowl from another girl before, she couldn't help asking: "You can also juggle?"

Xiao Jinglin bent her lips: "What kind of trick, it's just a quick move."

Ren Yaoqi asked curiously: "Then where did you hide the bowl?" The little girl cried angrily.

Xiao Jinglin coughed lightly, leaned over and whispered, "When I waved my sleeves, I let go, and the bowl fell on the shoe, and then I hid it under the skirt."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help laughing, but Xiao Jinglin felt a little embarrassed by her laugh.

They originally wanted to go back to Lanyue Pavilion for dinner with the concubine, but when they returned to Lanyue Pavilion, Concubine Yun's maid came over, and Concubine Yun invited Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin to her Feiwu Pavilion for lunch.

After Concubine Yun's people left, Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi, frowned and said, "Why don't you stay, I'll go over by myself, and I'll tell you that you're not feeling well." Xiao Jinglin also saw it last time, Mrs. Yun The concubine doesn't like Ren Yaoqi, especially what happened yesterday, who knows if her grandmother will take Ren Yaoqi out?

Ren Yaoqi also knew that Concubine Yun didn't like her, so she was not sure why Concubine Yun would invite her to dinner, but Concubine Yun was an elder after all, and she was an elder who had opinions on her, Ren Yaoqi didn't want to Too much disobedience to her. After all, there is not much conflict between the two, and there is no conflict of interest. If they can live in harmony, they will live in harmony. If they can't live in harmony, they can't be hostile.

Ren Yaoqi thought about it, and went to ask the princess.

The concubine thought for a while and said: "Since the concubine asked you to go over for dinner, you should go there."

Seeing that the concubine said the same thing, Ren Yaoqi changed her clothes and went to Feiwu Pavilion with Xiao Jinglin.

Concubine Yun was still sitting on the Luohan bed in the next room, her face was still cold, when Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin went to greet her, she nodded and let them sit down.

Like last time, the atmosphere was somewhat silent.

Concubine Yun ordered her maid: "It's time to set the meal."

While waiting for the meal to be served, Concubine Yun finally spoke after drinking a few sips of tea: "Have you read many books?"

Ren Yaoqi glanced at Concubine Yun, not knowing what she meant by asking this question, so she could only reply safely: "I have read some of the books in my father's study."

Concubine Yun nodded: "I have a good memory."

Ren Yaoqi blinked, not knowing whether Taifei Yun meant to praise her, so she could only smile, but didn't know how to answer.

Concubine Yun seemed to see Ren Yaoqi's cautiousness in front of her, and didn't want to ask any more questions. So the three of them started to drink tea one by one.

Fortunately, the meals were set up quickly, and Concubine Yun took them to their seats. There were only the three of them eating, but the dishes filled an Eight Immortals table.

Concubine Yun didn't like to talk, so the maid behind her smiled and said, "The Princess wants to see if today's dishes are to your liking?"

Xiao Jinglin nodded and said, "Most of them are what I like to eat."

The maid smiled and said, "This is what the Empress Dowager personally ordered to do."

Xiao Jinglin was a little surprised, and then said hastily, "Thank you, grandma."

Concubine Yun nodded, without saying anything, she just picked up an eggplant box first, signaling Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi to use their chopsticks.

That maid should be used to serving Concubine Yun, she had a very amiable smile on her face, and said to Ren Yaoqi: "What kind of food does Miss Ren like, you can talk to this servant later, this servant is easy to remember Come down. The next time you come to the concubine's place to eat, this servant will ask the chef to make something you like."

Ren Yaoqi was almost flattered when he heard the words.

The maid's words were obviously showing her closeness to her. She was Concubine Yun's confidant maid, so she was expressing closeness to her on behalf of Concubine Yun.

Ren Yaoqi took a look at the silent Concubine Yun, and carefully replied: "I'm not picky about food, I like whatever the Princess likes to eat."

The maid smiled sweetly when she heard the words, and came forward to help her fill a bowl of soup.

During the meal, Concubine Yun did not say a few words from the beginning to the end, Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin did not speak much, and the three of them finished their meal in silence.

After lunch, the maids waited for them to clean their hands and rinse their mouths, and then served tea.

Concubine Yun didn't tell them to leave, so they followed Concubine Yun to the next room to drink tea.

When the tea was almost finished, Concubine Yun suddenly said to the maid, "Go and get the things."

The maid stepped back in response, and came out holding a pair of red lacquered boxes in a short while.

"Give them one for each of them." Concubine Yun said softly.

So Ren Yaoqi stuffed a six-inch square red lacquer carved box inlaid with cloisonné, and it was a little heavy to start with.

Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jinglin with a questioning look, Xiao Jinglin shook her head at her, expressing that she didn't know what was going on.

The maid smiled and said, "The Princess and Miss Ren open it and have a look."

Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin opened the box when they heard the words. Ren Yaoqi looked down and was stunned. There were some heads and jewelry in the box. Ren Yaoqi didn't look carefully, but the ones on top The gemstones set on a gold step shaker are of excellent condition.

"Grandmother is this?" Xiao Jinglin raised her eyebrows and asked.

Concubine Yun said: "I don't even need it, you can wear it."

Ren Yaoqi was really flattered now, she almost thought that it was just her illusion that Concubine Yun didn't want to see her before.

Concubine Yun paused, and then said: "I know you don't lack these, but it's the elder's wish, so please accept it."

Xiao Jinglin looked at Concubine Yun, then at Ren Yaoqi, then smiled and accepted the box: "Thank you, grandma."

Ren Yaoqi could only accept the box given to her by Concubine Yun: "Thank you, Concubine Yun."

Concubine Yun nodded, and sat silently for a while. She waved her hands and said, "Go down and rest, you are tired today. Tell Wangfei, I won't be going in the afternoon."

Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi agreed, then got up and backed out.

After leaving Feiwu Pavilion for a long time, Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi looked at each other, and then went back to Lanyue Pavilion in silence.

The two went to the princess together with the jewelry box given by the concubine.

The concubine opened their jewelry boxes and took a look, then said lightly, "Just keep it for you."

Seeing that there was no outsider in the room, Xiao Jinglin spoke very straightforwardly: "Mother, doesn't grandma dislike Yaoqi? What's wrong today?"

It is reasonable for Concubine Yun to give her jewelry. After all, she is her own grandmother. Although her attitude is relatively cold on weekdays, she also gives her things during the holidays. It is not bad for her. But the last time we met, it was obvious that Concubine Yun had an opinion on Ren Yaoqi, why did her attitude change so quickly?

The princess did not answer Xiao Jinglin's words directly, she thought for a while, then turned to look at Ren Yaoqi: "What does Yaoqi think?"

Ren Yaoqi looked at the princess and felt a little embarrassed. After all, she is not from the Xiao family, and the princess and Concubine Yun are the mother-in-law and nephew.

The princess smiled: "There are no outsiders here, just say whatever comes to your mind, and no one will blame you if you make a mistake."

Ren Yaoqi tentatively asked, "Is it because of what happened yesterday?"

The princess smiled and nodded: "You are a smart child. So accept it with peace of mind."

Ren Yaoqi glanced at Wang Hao, nodded, and said nothing more.

Xiao Jinglin was about to ask, when Nanny Xin came in, as if she had something to report to the princess, Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin saw this and had to go out first.

When the two returned to the room, Xiao Jinglin asked Ren Yaoqi, "You just said that the reason for the change of grandmother's attitude was because of yesterday's incident?"

Ren Yaoqi nodded, handed the jewelry box to the maid to put it away, and then took Xiao Jinglin to sit by the kang, "If it wasn't Yun Qiuchen and Yun Wenfang yesterday, but someone from another family, Yanbei Palace How will you deal with them?"

Xiao Jinglin thought for a while: "It's hard to say whether I can save my life."

"Then why are Yun Qiuchen and Yun Wenfang all right?" Ren Yaoqi raised an eyebrow and asked.

Xiao Jinglin understood: "Of course it's because of my grandmother's protection."

Seeing that Xiao Jinglin understood, Ren Yao didn't say any more.

Concubine Yun saved Yun Qiuchen and Yun Wenfang, let them return to the Yun family unscathed, and did not pursue the responsibility of the Yun family. Naturally, there was a compromise from the Yanbei Palace.

Concubine Yun understood in her heart, so she also sold Wang Concubine and Xiao Jingxi's face. So today Concubine Yun rescued her again, asked her to eat, and even sent a box of jewelry, in fact, it was because she was wronged by the princess and Xiao Jingxi.

Even though she knew that Concubine Yun did not do this because she changed her mind, Ren Yaoqi did not feel disgusted with Concubine Yun's behavior.

Concubine Yun is the biological mother of King Yanbei, the mother-in-law of the princess, and the grandmother of Xiao Jingxi. She doesn't think that everything she does is taken for granted. At least she understands that it's her fault after she did something to protect her mother's family. , know how to remedy compensation. There are too many people in this world who like to rely on their status and age to do whatever they want, compared to Concubine Yun, she is more forgiving.

As for Concubine Yun liking her or not, Ren Yaoqi didn't insist. There is no way for any one person to do everything that everyone likes, and it is good enough to achieve mutual respect.

After a break at noon, the Qianjin Banquet continued in the afternoon.

It's just that compared to the excitement in the morning, the afternoon is much cooler.

Neither the old concubine nor Concubine Yun were present. Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu did not show up either. It is said that they were resting in the yard from being tired in the morning.

Although Ren Yaoqi was still with Mrs. Xu and the others, only Yanbei's ladies appeared on stage from the afternoon, and no one asked "Mr. Ren" to guide them. Compared with the morning when Ren Yaoqi came to this afternoon, he spent a very leisurely time.

After the daughter's feast for the day was over, several young ladies from Yanbei ran over to Ren Yaoqi and said they wanted to see Sha Niu.

What Ren Yaoqi didn't know was that since the mighty appearance of the silly girl last night, the whole hot spring villa has been full of legends about the silly girl. Although these rich ladies are naturally afraid of beasts, there are many people who are curious, It was the mighty-looking big tiger yesterday that after seeing Ren Yaoqi, it acted obediently like a cat, which made everyone who saw it very envious.

After the princess knew about it, she smiled and said: "You can take them to have a look, but remember to stay away, so as not to hurt anyone."

The meaning of the princess is also that Ren Yaoqi can get acquainted with these ladies who were born in a wealthy family in Yanbei, so that it will be convenient for them to socialize after marrying into the Yanbei Palace.

The princess had already spoken, and Ren Yaoqi naturally agreed.

So Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin took some bold girls to Qizhen Garden.

These girls are quite lively, chirping along the way to talk about how busy it is.

Some people even went out of their way to please Ren Yaoqi and said: "Miss Ren, you are so powerful. All the people sent by the imperial court have their eyes on the top, and they all fell into your hands in the end."

"Yeah, especially that lady surnamed Yan, relying on the arrogance of her empress dowager's natal family, thinking that she is really talented! In the end, Mr. Pei tried it out. Like her After studying for a lifetime, you can't even pass the exam for a scholar!"

This young lady has a good family background, is young, and has a straight temper. When Yan Ningshuang was competing with Ren Yaoqi before, she was the one who demolished Yan Ningshuang without saying a word, and she was not afraid of offending others.

Although Ren Yaoqi didn't like Yan Ningshuang, she wasn't willing to gossip behind people's backs, so she couldn't help but frowned, and was about to remind these ladies who had said too much to pay attention to their words, but someone beside her coughed heavily.

When Ren Yaoqi looked up, she saw Yan Ningshuang standing under a tree not far from a fork in the road, looking at them with an ugly expression, she must have heard the two ladies arrange her words just now.

The girls from Yanbei were also a little embarrassed.

Yan Ningshuang didn't look at others, just stared at Ren Yaoqi coldly for a moment, then turned and left without saying anything.

Xiao Jinglin glanced at Ren Yaoqi, and said in a low voice, "It seems that she has kept this account on you."

Ren Yaoqi smiled helplessly, and whispered, "She wouldn't like me without this."

The lady who had been chattering before saw this and asked curiously: "What are the Princess and Miss Ren talking about?"

Xiao Jinglin glanced at her expressionlessly: "Do you want to listen to the solution after being bumped into by someone who slanders people behind the discussion?"

The little girl blushed, stuck out her tongue, and didn't dare to speak without bowing her head.

Yan Ningshuang walked in front of them, and when they were about to reach the Garden of Treasures, they saw that Yan Ningshuang was also coming for the Garden of Treasures, especially a maid who was following her was carrying a food box in her hand.

Everyone couldn't help being a little curious when they saw it, what did Yan Ningshuang do here.

After Xiao Jinglin entered the garden, she asked someone to come over and asked them where the silly girl was now.

"If you go back to the princess, the young master just took the silly girl to take a bath." The woman in the yard quickly replied.

Is Xiao Jingxi here? Xiao Jinglin raised her eyebrows and looked at Ren Yaoqi.

The ladies who followed behind also started whispering, Second Young Master Xiao has always been a supernatural being, many people have never even seen his real face, let alone being in touch with him, they couldn't help but feel a little curious .

But Xiao Jinglin obviously didn't intend to satisfy these people's curiosity, she nodded, and told the mother-in-law: "In the pavilion in front of us, after the silly girl has finished taking a bath, ask someone to bring it over."

The mother-in-law quickly took the order.

Xiao Jinglin took Ren Yaoqi and took the dozen or so little girls to the gazebo in the garden of rare treasures.

Ren Yaoqi glanced in the direction where Yan Ningshuang left, and Xiao Jinglin noticed it and whispered next to her: "Don't worry, even if she wants to find someone, she will definitely not be able to reach her. There are guards everywhere in this garden. If so If she can still find Xiao Jingxi, that can only mean... Xiao Jingxi wants to see her!"

Ren Yaoqi: "..."

They didn't wait too long, and soon Sha Niu came, and it was certain that Xiao Jingxi didn't want to see Yan Ningshuang, because Xiao Jingxi and Sha Niu appeared together.

These ladies were all frightened by the sudden fierce beast and the frightening roar and almost ran away, but they were stunned when they saw the man who appeared behind the white tiger. Forgot to escape.

Xiao Jingxi bent slightly and patted the silly girl's head, and stopped the white tiger who was about to rush over with joy in time. The handsome man with dark hair and black hair and the majestic white tiger stood together. This scene made the women present blush and heartbeat, and even the ferocious and dangerous beasts seemed to have no deterrent power.

Xiao Jinglin coughed lightly, interrupting the weird silence.

When all the ladies came back to their senses, they all blushed and lowered their heads, curtseying. Although no one mentioned who this man looked like, some people already had the answer in their hearts.

Xiao Jingxi nodded to them.

Xiao Jinglin pulled Ren Yaoqi over, and Sha Niu immediately stretched out her head to rub against them.

"Did you just take it to take a bath?" Xiao Jinglin asked.

Xiao Jingxi said: "You came before I had time to wash you."

The silly girl sat there wagging her tail happily, and the incumbent was very happy that she had just escaped the bath.

Some of the young ladies were bold. Seeing that Sha Niu was very obedient, they came over, curiously wanting to touch Sha Niu's head like Xiao Jinglin, but Bai Hu, who was as obedient as a kitten just now, suddenly stood up. Getting up, he showed his sharp canine teeth to the lady who stretched out his hand to it, and let out a low, earth-shaking growl, which made the lady scream and fall to the ground on the spot.

Ren Yaoqi hurriedly asked someone to help the young lady up, and Xiao Jinglin patted the imposing silly girl.

"Silly girl doesn't let others touch her head. If you don't touch it, it won't hurt you." Xiao Jinglin glanced at the young lady, and explained something rare for Silly girl.

A tiger's head is as untouchable as a tiger's butt, and being a tiger also has dignity!

Xiao Jinglin took the silly girl to play its favorite flywheel game in the garden, and the ladies all followed after seeing the novelty, but they didn't dare to get too close, and some people secretly glanced at the second young master Xiao while looking at the tiger.

Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi didn't go forward, they stood behind and talked, looking at them from a distance, they were like a couple.

Xiao Jingxi joked in a good mood: "Mr. Ren, congratulations."

Ren Yaoqi glanced at him: "Young Master Xiao, where does my joy come from?"

The corner of Xiao Jingxi's mouth twitched: "Is it worth killing the world and being famous all over the world?"

Ren Yaoqi glared at him: "Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

Ren Yaoqi herself didn't realize it. Although her words sounded like complaints, they sounded like she was being coquettish. Xiao Jingxi's heart was shaken when she heard it, and she looked at her and said in a low voice: "You used my tricks secretly without warning. tell me."

Ren Yaoqi blushed and stopped talking.

She didn't think that much when she was playing chess, but when Xiao Jingxi mentioned it like this, she seemed ambiguous.

Seeing that she was silent, Xiao Jingxi lowered his head and smiled and said, "Are you angry? You won't be able to use all my tricks in the future? If you win, I will be honored."

The two of them are talking here and the atmosphere is good, but some people can't see them well.

Yan Ningshuang appeared at some point, and ran towards them without knowing her expression.

"Young Master Xiao." Yan Ningshuang only saw Xiao Jingxi in her eyes, and bowed her knees with a blushing face.

Xiao Jingxi nodded. Although he was calm on the face, he was already a little unhappy in his heart.

Yan Ningshuang looked at Xiao Jingxi and said, "Young Master Xiao, can you take a moment to speak? I have something important to discuss with you."

Xiao Jingxi frowned, and replied politely and coldly: "If Miss Yan has anything to do, you can go to Wangfei or Jinglin, I'm just asking about the inner court."

Yan Ningshuang hurriedly said: "I'm not talking about the inner court." She glanced at Ren Yaoqi and said, "Young Master Xiao, I won't delay you for too long."

Xiao Jingxi thought for a while, called his attendant Tong Xi over, and said politely to Yan Ningshuang: "Miss Yan can talk to my servant about matters in the outer court, and he can handle many things for me or pass them on to me."

Deep disappointment appeared in Yan Ningshuang's eyes when she heard the words, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't ask Xiao Jingxi in front of Ren Yaoqi. In front of Xiao Jingxi, she could put down her figure and self-esteem so that he could take a look at her, but she was unwilling to present her humble side to anyone other than Xiao Jingxi.

Yan Ningshuang's eyes dimmed, she looked at Xiao Jingxi, and finally walked away.

Xiao Jingxi didn't stay here for too long, he came to see Ren Yaoqi after congratulating him for a while, Second Young Master Xiao had to leave first.

However, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but wonder if Yan Ningshuang said that she had something to do with Xiao Jingxi, was it really something or an excuse?

Yan Ningshuang was still in the Garden of Rare Treasures, sitting in the gazebo with her head down, wondering what she was thinking.
