After coming back this time, Ren Yaoqi's performance was beyond her expectations. Ren Yaoqi smiled and turned away.
After coming out of the main house, when passing the west wing, Ren Yaoqi thought about it and decided to go to the study.
Ren Shimin was sitting behind his large desk, drinking tea and admiring several newly bought inkstones.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi push the door open, he put down his teacup, waved, and said with a smile: "Yaoyao, come and take a look. These chengni inkstones are new ones that Daddy got. They are all made by famous masters."
Ren Shimin's smile carried the pure joy of a child, and every time he got something good, he would not hide his joy at all.
In the past, Ren Yaoqi would secretly criticize her father for being too carefree and indifferent, and ignorant of worldly matters, but she no longer does that.
Ren Yaoqi walked over and admired the inkstone with Ren Shimin for a while before asking, "There's an ice skating competition in our mansion today. Isn't Dad going?"
Ren Shimin showed little interest. "What's so interesting about ice skating? A bunch of roughnecks pushing and shoving each other! It's disrespectful! You want to go?"
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "I haven't been out for a long time, sisters, let's go."
Ren Shimin dug out a sandalwood box from the drawer under the desk, took out two silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels, and handed them to Ren Yaoqi: "Go find your mother and exchange them for silver nuggets. Use them as prizes and help Dad choose a team."
Ren Yaoqi took it with a smile and put it in his pocket: "Then how about I bet on the team with the red belt?"
Ren Shimin tilted his head and thought carefully: "Red is too tacky, let's choose the white team."
Ren Yaoqi said disdainfully, "Chinese New Year is almost here, who would wear a white belt? Don't you think it's unlucky?"
"Then the Blue Team?"
Ren Yaoqi made a face and said, "I insist on betting on the red team! I just like red!" Then he stood up and left proudly.
"Children are so willful. They cry when they lose." Ren Shimin shook his head and sighed helplessly.
When going out, Ren Yaoqi and his fourth sister Ren Yaoyin rode in the same carriage.
The carriages in front and behind were filled with the sisters of the Ren family. Ren Yaoqi could even hear the faint chattering of Ren Yaoyu coming from the carriage at the back, as well as the voice of the nanny trying to dissuade her from lowering the curtain.
In comparison, Ren Yaoqi's carriage was much quieter.
Ren Yaoyin sat at the table in the carriage and made tea. Her movements were skillful and elegant, and her smile was calm. The shaking carriage did not make her hands unstable at all.
Ren Yaoqi sat opposite her with his chin supported, admiring her movements.
"My cousin even asked if my fifth sister would go." Ren Yaoyin poured a cup of tea in a purple clay cup and handed it to Ren Yaoqi, saying with a smile.
Ren Yaoqi took it steadily and thanked her with a smile.
Ren Yaoyin's expression was as gentle as usual, and Ren Yaoqi couldn't sense any displeasure in her words.
