"A good site means prosperous crops, and a lucky house means prosperous people. When my great-grandfather was alive, he believed in these Feng Shui techniques very much." Ren Yaoqi replied calmly.
"Oh? Does Fifth Sister also believe this?" Han Yunqian smiled slightly and turned his face to the side.
"Master Han, don't you believe it?"
Han Yunqian was silent for a moment, as if thinking.
Ren Yaoqi looked at his back from behind. Han Yunqian was as tall as a bamboo, with his back straight. When he was silent, he had a quiet and heavy temperament.
After a while, he slowly said, "My grandfather didn't believe in these things. I remember a few years ago when our ancestral home in Jizhou was to be renovated, all the uncles in the clan wanted to find a Feng Shui master to take a look, hoping to bring good luck to the descendants, but my grandfather refused."
"I don't really believe it either." Ren Yaoqi smiled slightly. "This house isn't the Ren family's ancestral home. My great-grandfather bought it from a wealthy family at the time. The original owner moved south to avoid the Liao people. If this feng shui was truly effective, shouldn't they be safe and sound just sitting at home? Why would they have to move south?"
Han Yunqian looked at Ren Yaoqi, but because his face was facing away from the light, Ren Yaoqi could not see his expression.
After a moment, he smiled and nodded in agreement, "Fifth sister is right."
"I heard that the Han family has settled in Jizhou for generations?" Ren Yaoqi asked casually.
"This is what is recorded in the Han family's genealogy." Han Yunqian said gently.
"I've never been to Jizhou, so I don't know if the living habits of people in Jizhou are very different from those of us in Yanzhou. But I see that you and Sister You are not much different from us Yanzhou people. Is there anyone in your family who was born in Yanzhou?"
Han Yunqian lowered his head and thought for a moment before smiling and replying, "No. But my grandfather's maternal family seems to have been from around Yanzhou. However, decades have passed, and the relatives from Yanzhou are long gone. They may have migrated south. I heard that when Yanbei was in turmoil, nine out of ten houses in Yanzhou were deserted."
Ren Yaoqi was thinking, Han Yunqian's answer was flawless. Even the occasional Yanzhou accent that slipped through his grandfather's lips made sense.
"Fifth sister, are you here to visit the garden?" Han Yunqian asked with a smile as he looked at Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi said casually, "I was passing by the corridor and saw someone in the garden. From the back, he looked a bit like my second cousin from the East Mansion. I wanted to come over to say hello, but I didn't expect it to be you."
Ren Yilin, the illegitimate son of the Second Master of the East Palace, was about the same height as Han Yunqian. From the back, they did look somewhat similar.
Han Yunqian laughed and looked at Ren Yaoqi and said, "I see. It was Yunqian who was rude. Please forgive me, Fifth Sister."
At this time, there seemed to be several footsteps coming from behind. Ren Yaoqi turned around and saw Ren Yiyan and Ren Yihong coming towards them. Behind them were Ren Yaohua, Ren Yaoting and Han You.
"Fifth sister, when did you come? I was just about to ask someone to call you and your sister to come together." Ren Yiyan saw that Ren Yaoqi and Han Yunqian were slightly stunned, then smiled.
Ren Yaohua, Ren Yaoting. Han You and the other two also saw Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaoting's gaze lingered on Ren Yaoqi and Han Yunqian for a long time, and suddenly he said with a half-smile, "Fifth sister is out strolling in the garden? What a coincidence."
Ren Yaohua said to Ren Yaoqi calmly, "Didn't I ask the maid to come with you? Didn't I ask you to wait in the pavilion in front?"
What this meant was that she asked someone to call Ren Yaoqi over.
Ren Yaoting looked at Ren Yaohua in confusion, then looked at Ren Yaoqi who had a straightforward expression, and his expression looked better.
Han Yunqian smiled and said, "I heard someone coming and thought it was Brother Yi Yan, so I came over to say hello, but I didn't expect to meet Fifth Sister. I'm sorry for being rude."
