After returning to the Ren family, Maidong's family and the eight maids who came with them as a dowry were all well taken care of by Madam Zhou. No one stopped Maidong's family from sending a letter to Baihe Town, and everyone was living in peace. Even the Maidong family's concerns about the maids' indentures, which had previously worried them, were not raised. This made her feel greatly relieved and extremely excited about her future prospects.
One day, Ren Yaoqi was embroidering with Ren Yaohua in Li's room when they suddenly received a letter from the Lei family, and it was from Lei Pan'er.
A while ago, Lei Pan'er suddenly stopped writing to the Ren family. Ren Yaoqi wrote to ask her why, and Lei Pan'er later replied, saying that her family had hired a tutor for her, and her aunt was constantly urging her to do her homework, so she had less time to write. Since then, Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua have occasionally received letters from her. Lei Pan'er's quirky tone remained in her letters, and only after Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua replied to Lei Pan'er's letters from Baihe Town did her letters become less frequent.
But today's letter is about asking Ren Yaohua to meet.
Lei Pan'er had also made an appointment with Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua in Beijing to talk and play with her, so there was nothing special about this letter. It was just that Ren Yaohua was about to get married, so it was not a good idea for her to go out.
After thinking for a while, Ren Yaohua decided to refuse. Ren Yaoqi, on the other hand, held the letter thoughtfully.
"I'd better go see Pan'er." Ren Yaoqi smiled and stopped Ren Yaohua from replying.
Ren Yaohua frowned upon hearing this, but said, "It's better not to go today. I think it's a bit strange that Pan'er would ask me out at this time. And the handwriting on the door is indeed Pan'er's. I'll send someone to the Lei family to ask."
Ren Yaoqi naturally knew that this matter was strange, which was why she planned to meet Lei Paner.
If some things are not clarified now, it will be more troublesome after Ren Yaohua marries into the Lei family.
Seeing that Ren Yaoqi still decided to go to the appointment, Ren Yaohua said: "Then I will go with you, so that we can have company."
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "I'll ask the princess to accompany me. The princess has nothing to do these days."
Ren Yaohua felt relieved when she heard Ren Yaoqi say that he would call Xiao Jinglin. Even though she had never seen Princess Xiao fight, she knew that her kung fu must be very good. Moreover, in the territory of Yanbei, no one dared to attack the princess of Yanbei Palace.
So Ren Yaohua sent someone to find Xiao Jinglin.
Xiao Jinglin arrived very quickly. Princess Xiao had been very idle during the time when Ren Yaoqi returned to Baihe Town. So when Ren Yaoqi finally asked her to go out with him, she was naturally very happy.
Xiao Jinglin came here on horseback with Hongying, but after arriving at the Ren family, he left the horse at the Ren family and followed Ren Yaoqi into the Ren family's carriage.
When Ren Yaoqi saw that the horse she rode today was a chestnut horse, he joked, "Is its name Xiaohong?"
Before Xiao Jinglin could say anything, Hongying burst out laughing.
Xiao Jinglin glanced at his mount and said calmly, "I just picked it up from the stables in the palace. I don't know what it's called."
Hongying said, "Princess, isn't the name of this Liangshan horse 'Red Dragon'?"
Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jinglin with a smile. Xiao Jinglin pretended not to hear and pulled Ren Yaoqi into the carriage.
Only after getting on the carriage did Ren Yaoqi look at Xiao Jinglin and smile, "I suddenly remembered something."
Xiao Jinglin felt a little uneasy when Ren Yaoqi laughed at her: "What's the matter?"
Ren Yaoqi propped his chin on his right hand and blinked slowly. "A few years ago, when we first met, we were riding in a carriage together. You told me that your first warhorse was one you raised from a young age. Its name was Snow Eagle."
Xiao Jinglin: "..."
"Isn't your name Xiaobai?" Ren Yaoqi said with a smile.
Xiao Jinglin said awkwardly, "Xiaobai is her nickname, and Xueying was given by Master."
Xiao Jinglin didn't lie about this, although she said that just to deliberately divert Ren Yaoqi's attention and let her not ask about the small words she came up with. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that the small words she came up with were indeed not as good as Xiao Jingxi's.
