Chapter 181 Active
Ren Yaoqi has been accompanying Xiao Jinglin in practicing the piano for a few days. Although Xiao Jinglin's talent in this area is not very good, fortunately she is willing to spend time and effort when she is serious, and she concentrates on practicing only one piece of music, so she makes rapid progress.
One day, Ren Yaoqi had just returned from the Yanbei Palace and found that Ren Shijia's courtyard was much more lively. It turned out that someone had come from Baihe Town. When he went to the main room, he saw Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoying sitting on the south kang with Ren Shijia and talking, and Ren Yaoyin was also sitting beside them.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi coming back, Ren Shijia smiled and waved, "Qi'er, come here quickly, your third sister and ninth sister are here."
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Ren Yaoying, then looked at Ren Yaohua.
Ren Yaoying was the first to stand up and hurriedly bowed to Ren Yaoqi with a gentle and obedient smile on her face: "Fifth sister is back, aunt was just talking about you to us."
Ever since Ren Yaoying appeared in everyone's sight again, her originally impetuous temperament has calmed down a lot, she has become more low-key, and gradually she has some of the shadow of her biological mother, Aunt Fang.
Ren Yaoqi smiled gently, greeted each of them, and then said, "Why didn't Third Sister and Ninth Sister bring a message before coming today? I wouldn't have gone out if I had known."
Ren Yaoying pursed her lips and smiled. "We are sisters, so Fifth Sister is being too polite. I heard from my aunt that Fifth Sister and Fourth Sister are very popular in Yunyang City. Please take good care of me and Third Sister in the future."
Does this mean that he wants to live in Yunyang City permanently? Ren Yaoqi smiled and said nothing, thinking that he would ask Ren Yaohua what was going on when no one was around.
After chatting and laughing for a few more words, Ren Shijia ordered the maid to go to the kitchen and ask them to add a few more dishes for dinner. At the same time, she said to Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoying, "If you don't want to stay with me, I won't force you. But you still have to have dinner here today, otherwise I, your aunt, will be unhappy."
Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoying quickly agreed.
Ren Yaoqi asked in surprise, "Don't Third Sister and Ninth Sister live with Auntie?"
Ren Yaohua glanced at Ren Yaoqi and said, "Grandma asked my ninth sister and me to come and stay with my cousin for a few days, so we will live in the Ren family's villa."
The cousin-in-law that Ren Yaohua mentioned is Liu, the sister-in-law of Aunt Fang, who is currently staying in the Ren family's villa.
Ren Yaoyin smiled and said, "Speaking of my cousin's aunt, I happened to meet her when I went to the Yun family that day. At that time, my cousin's aunt was meeting Old Madam Yun with a few other ladies. Because they were quite far away, I didn't have time to say hello. When I wanted to say hello after paying my respects to Old Madam Yun, she had already left."
Ren Shijia said, "I heard that Mrs. Fang has two good friends who happened to be married in Yanbei. I guess those friends have been taking Mrs. Fang around these days. Mr. Fang is going to Yanbei to be an official, so these social engagements are inevitable." Ren Shijia also heard that Liu has been very active in Yunyang City recently.
Ren Yaoying smiled and said, "That's exactly what you said, Aunt. My cousin said she'll come to your house tomorrow and ask you to accompany her to meet Mrs. Lin San."
Ren Shijia was stunned for a moment, then realized that Mrs. Lin San, that is, her third sister-in-law Yuan's uncle Yuan Ping was a chief official in the Yanbei Palace. The chief official was only a fifth-rank official, but Yuan Ping had been with the Yanbei King for many years and was deeply trusted by the Yanbei King. He held a lot of real power in his hands, and he also had some say in the appointment and dismissal of some minor officials in Yanbei.
