She had seen Xia Sheng's true abilities, so she wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to teach a good apprentice.
Although Xia Sheng felt a little strange about Ren Yaoqi's assumption, he still said seriously, "Don't worry, cousin. If he wants to become my apprentice, he can't do it without some skills."
Ren Yaoqi knew that Xia Sheng was a serious and rigid person, so he didn't say anything more.
At this time, a woman came out from the second gate.
The woman looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five, with only delicate features. Although she was very dignified, she was not someone who would be remembered at first sight.
Ren Yaoqi could no longer remember this face, but she still remembered seeing her in opera. She was truly charming and stunning, with a smile that captivated the world. For years afterward, whenever she saw a female lead in an opera, she would unconsciously compare herself to her, always feeling that they were missing something.
"Cousin." She was a little surprised when she saw Ren Yaoqi and Xia Sheng, but then she quickly reacted and stepped forward to greet them.
Ren Yaoqi returned half the greeting and called out "Aunt Yihong" with a smile.
Yihong was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at Ren Yaoqi carefully again.
She had heard before that Li Ren Yaoqi had grown up and changed a lot. Now, the girl in front of her looked calm and friendly with a clear and peaceful look in her eyes. She was indeed a little different from the proud cousin she knew before.
The reason why Ren Yaoqi called her aunt was because Yihong's identity was somewhat special.
Her uncle Li You never married, and Yihong was his roommate, serving him and taking care of his affairs.
Normally, in an ordinary family, Yihong would be just a servant with some status, but Ren Yaoqi knew that these people who loyally followed King Xian's family were different.
Li once asked her and Ren Yaohua to call Yihong "Auntie", but they both pretended to obey and never called her that.
"Why is my cousin here?" Yihong looked at Xia Sheng and asked with some confusion.
Ren Yaoqi said, "I wanted to ask Xia Sheng something, so I had him brought here. Has Aunt Yihong finished talking to Mother?"
Yihong smiled and nodded: "I have finished reporting and will return to Yunyang City now."
Ren Yaoqi knew that she was busy with something, so he didn't keep her. He just ordered the maid to ask someone to drive the Li family's carriage to the second gate so that they wouldn't have to walk any further.
While waiting for the carriage, Ren Yaoqi chatted with Yihong again.
Soon, the carriage arrived. Yihong bowed to Ren Yaoqi and said goodbye before getting on the carriage. Xia Sheng also bowed and followed.
Ren Yaoqi waved Pingguo over and said, "Didn't I give you some silver notes for safekeeping? Do you have them with you?" She had given Pingguo a hundred taels of silver notes and some small change, asking her to carry them with her in case of emergency.
Apple also replied: "I have it with me."
"Go and give the 100 taels of silver to the man named Xia Sheng who just spoke to me. I gave him the money for his journey and for the maid. If it's not enough, tell him to come back to me."
