When they returned to Jiuyang Palace, Ren Yaoqi sat with Xiao Jinglin for a while and talked to her about the piano music. It was a good match for the two of them to talk while the other listened carefully. Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but feel that what her second brother said was right.
Now she felt that she and Ren Yaoqi had one more common topic. The reason why she said "one more" was because Xiao Jinglin felt that they already had a common hobby, which was eating.
The princess believed that everyone had to eat, and she herself was a foodie, so since Ren Yaoqi also had to eat, they had this common topic to talk about, which was why she repeatedly asked Ren Yaoqi to have dinner with her.
Although she is not an elegant person, she is not stupid either, and she does have some common sense in interacting with others.
Ren Yaoqi felt that the time was almost up, so she proposed to go back home. Then she remembered the zither that Xiao Jingxi had lent her: "Please thank the Second Young Master for me. Please send someone to return the zither for me."
"Aren't you going to come and practice the piano with me tomorrow? Just put it there for now. It won't get lost anyway. I'll tell my second brother when I see him." Xiao Jinglin said indifferently.
At this time, the princess came back and asked Xiao Jinglin how her piano playing was going. She also asked Ren Yaoqi a few questions.
Ren Yaoqi left immediately when he felt something was wrong.
"Mother, it seems that there are a lot more ladies coming to the house recently. The house has become much more lively." Xiao Jinglin asked.
The princess smiled and said gently, "Aren't these things what you hate the most? Why are you asking about it today?" After thinking for a moment, she said, "Some of them came from other prefectures, and some came from Jiangnan. Maybe they will stay in Yanbei in the future."
There have been several lucrative positions in Yanbei recently, and this year coincides with the change of officials, so there are many people coming to the Yanbei Palace.
Although women are not allowed to take charge of front-hall affairs, due to her status as Princess Yanbei, there are many occasions where she needs to attend social events.
Xiao Jinglin turned around and asked Ren Yaoqi, "Does your family have relatives in Jiangnan or other prefectures? Do you recognize the lady just now?"
Princess Yanbei raised her eyebrows and looked at Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "Just now, I saw from a distance that the lady waiting outside looked like a relative of my grandmother's family. My grandmother's elder sister married in Jiangnan."
Princess Yanbei thought for a moment while holding the tea bowl. "Is it Madam Zhou or Madam Fang?"
"Mrs. Fang." Ren Yaoqi responded.
Princess Yanbei glanced at Ren Yaoqi and smiled: "Mrs. Fang is very talkative."
Princess Yanbei mentioned this casually and didn't want to talk about it further.
Ren Yaoqi casually interrupted, "Yes, Madam Fang's maiden name is Liu. I heard from my grandmother that there are many talented women in Madam Fang's family. One of them is very famous in Kyoto. She is called 'Madam Hairpin Flower'. It's normal for Madam Fang to be talkative."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was attentive. The princess became interested: "Oh? But the lady who bought a piece of calligraphy for a hundred taels of gold?"
