After Xiao Jingxi said that, the rumors about the "indescribable wealth" of the young master of the Yanbei Palace really died down. Of course, there were still people spreading rumors, but they said the young master was "blessed with good fortune" or "the god of literature descended to earth." Over time, everyone in Yanbei knew that the young master was a blessed child, and no one associated him with the so-called "imperial appearance."
Ren Yaoqi naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
After giving birth, Ren Yaoqi followed Madam Gong's instructions and spent the rest of her confinement period well. During this period, she did nothing but eat and sleep. Even when she wanted to take a few books from the study to relieve her boredom, she was stopped by the maid, who said that it was taboo to overwork during the confinement period.
The child can be seen every day. The little guy is well taken care of and is growing more and more tender day by day. Ren Yaoqi can't help but want to pinch that cute little face every time she sees him. Therefore, Ren Yaoqi doesn't feel that the confinement period is boring. With her husband and child by her side, what else can she ask for?
Because the baby had attracted enough attention since birth, there was no big full-month banquet for the child. Only close relatives were invited verbally, and not even an invitation was sent. This was the princess's idea. Yanbei had just experienced a war, and the old princess had passed away less than a year ago. The most important thing was not to ruin the child's blessing. Ren Yaoqi also agreed.
On the day of the full moon, the King of Yanbei named the child Xiao Weizhuo, nicknamed "Azhuo". As the saying goes, "Great straightness seems crooked, great cleverness seems clumsy, great eloquence seems silent." The King of Yanbei chose this name perhaps because the child was so popular at the time of his birth.
Several women from Ren Yaoqi's family were chatting and laughing with him, and his third sister-in-law, Qi, had also arrived. From the Ren family, only Qi and Ren Yijun and his wife had arrived. Because Qi and Ren Yijun had more respect in front of Ren Yaoqi than the others, they now had a lot of say in the Ren family. However, neither Ren Yijun nor Qi had ever come to Ren Yaoqi to make any demands on behalf of the Ren family.
The Ren family is far from what it once was. When others mention the Ren family, they say it's fallen on hard times. It's true. Nothing of their former wealth remains, even their ancestral home has been used to pay off debts. They only have enough money to support their family, and even their servants have been dispersed by more than 70%. But Ren Yaoqi feels that the Ren family is doing better now than ever before.
Master Ren was somewhat disheartened by this blow. However, two younger brothers, Ren Yiyan and Ren Yijun, stepped forward and are now trying to learn business from their fifth uncle, Ren Shimao. They don't seek to make a comeback, but simply to provide for their family.
Ren Yiyan was fine, but Ren Yijun surprised Ren Yaoqi. This young master's personality was somewhat similar to that of his third uncle, Ren Shimin. He viewed business as a lowly profession and was quite aloof.
Ren Yaoqi asked Ren Yijun about this. The young master glanced at Ren Yaoqi and said, "My whole family is starving to death. How can I pretend to be cultured? Can I still rely on a woman to support me? I will lose my status! A real man can bend and stretch. Wait until I can support my mother and wife, then come back and listen to the saint's advice!"
This made Ren Yaoqi and Qi laugh non-stop.
Ren Yijun and Ren Yiyan were working away from home to support the family, while the eldest wife taught the two daughters-in-law, Zhao and Qi, how to manage the household. The family was harmonious and harmonious, but unfortunately, Zhao and Qi were childless. This worried the eldest wife until her hair turned white. If Old Master Ren and Old Lady Ren were still in charge, the two daughters-in-law would surely suffer greatly if the eldest son had no children. Although the eldest wife was also dissatisfied and considered taking concubines for her two sons, Ren Yijun dismissed her with a single sentence, "I don't have money to support idle people!"
