The next morning, before daybreak, the servants of the Ren family began to work quietly. The masters would not get up until later, and the maids and servants had to load the travel items onto the carriage first.
Ren Yaoqi woke up early, washed and changed his clothes quickly, sat in his room for a while, and waited until there was movement in the main room before going to pay his respects to his parents.
Today, Old Madam Ren exempted everyone from paying their respects, so Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua had breakfast with Mrs. Li.
When someone came outside to ask Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua to go out, Li pulled the two sisters aside and gave them a few words of advice, and then asked Nanny Zhou to give each of them a heavy purse.
"If it's convenient, remember to go to your grandparents' house to see your grandparents." Mrs. Li finally instructed.
Ren Yaohua remained silent. Ren Yaoqi responded with a smile, "I see. I heard that Grandma will also be going to watch the dragon boat race. Who knows, we might even run into each other then. Does Mother have anything for me to tell Grandma? Or anything else for Grandma to pass on?"
Li thought about it and shook her head: "You should talk to your grandmother. She always asks about you in her letters."
Ren Yaoqi agreed again, and then went out with Ren Yaohua. When they reached the gate of the courtyard, they turned around and saw Li standing in the corridor looking at them.
There are more than twenty carriages traveling today, lined up in front of the second gate, stretching for a long distance.
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua were arranged to ride in the same car. If it were in the past, neither of them would have been willing to do so. But now the relationship between the two sisters has improved a lot, and they are biological sisters, so they are often arranged to travel together.
The two were led out of the second gate by the steward, and their carriages were placed in the middle, just like the carriages of the other sisters of the Ren family.
The two of them came out relatively early. Except for the fifth master and the fifth mistress who came early with Ren Yaoyu and the whole family squeezed into a carriage and laughed happily, no one else came yet. Only two or three maids were waiting by the carriage, waiting to help their masters get on the carriage.
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua were just about to get on the carriage to wait when a maid suddenly jumped out from somewhere.
"Fifth sister..."
Ren Yaoqi turned around in surprise and found that it was Luo Pozi's granddaughter.
Ren Yaohua also looked over and frowned, "Where are you from? Which maid do you work for?"
The girl changed into a summer dress suitable for a third-rank maid in the mansion today. Ren Yaohua felt that she looked unfamiliar, so she thought she was a new maid who didn't know the rules of the mansion.
The girl glanced at Ren Yaohua, then looked at Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi said to Ren Yaohua, "She came up from the farm yesterday. You get on the carriage first, I'll be there soon."
Ren Yaohua looked at the girl suspiciously before turning and leaving.
Ren Yaoqi then gently said to the girl, "Why are you here? Didn't I ask Madam Zhou to arrange for you and your grandmother to stay in the outer courtyard?"
Seeing the fierce Ren Yaohua leave, the maid grew bolder and said crisply, "Grandmother, I still have farm work to do at the farm. I wanted to ask Fifth Sister when we could leave. But the people in the inner courtyard wouldn't let us in or report to us. I just saw you coming out from a distance and ran over here."
Ren Yaoqi then realized that although the girl's complexion was not very good, her voice was very nice. She couldn't help but smiled and asked, "What's your name?"
