Scheme of the Official Descendant

Dong Sheng's words made Ren Yaoqi's hands stop involuntarily, and a rare expression of surprise appeared on his face. But she calmed down quickly, and even had a sigh of relief.

It's no wonder that after searching for so long, I haven't found a general idea. It turns out that I found the wrong target.

Presumably Ren Yaoting was nervous when she saw those memorial tablets, and the light was dim, so she misread it. The words Qu and Zhai are very similar.

"Tell me about this... Zhai family." Ren Yaoqi said softly.

Through a curtain, Dongsheng's steady voice came.

"The Zhai family was considered a big family in Yanzhou decades ago, and they lived in Baihe Town. However, there are not many families with the surname Zhai in Yanzhou, and this family moved from the south many years ago. It's too prosperous, and it's a very good faction. I heard that it's a branch of a big family. It's a pity that the Liao people invaded, and the Zhai family didn't have time to leave Yanbei. In the end, the whole family was in trouble. There were more than a hundred people. live."

When the Liao people plundered Yanbei, there were not a few families who suffered the same disaster as the Zhai family.

"Killed by the Liao people?" Ren Yaoqi asked as if talking to himself.

"Yes, miss, it is recorded in the local chronicles."

"What is the connection between the Zhai family and the Han family?" Ren Yaoqi asked.

Dong Sheng said with some regret: "I don't know how many people have encountered the same situation as the Zhai family back then. The local chronicles only briefly mention these few sentences, and there are no more specific ones."

This is also expected, Ren Yaoqi understands. But I finally have a goal, and it will be much easier to check in the future.

"But..." Dongsheng seemed to remember something again.

Ren Yaoqi knew that Dongsheng was not a person who liked to show off, so she didn't urge her, but just listened carefully to what he had to say.

Sure enough, Dong Sheng just paused before continuing: "There are not many records about the Zhai family in the local chronicles, but it seems that the residence of the Zhai family is not far from the current Ren Mansion."

Ren Yaoqi's heart was moved when he heard the words, the location of the Zhai family recorded in the local chronicles must be only a rough record, and Dongsheng said that it is not far away, could it be that the house of the Ren family originally belonged to the Zhai family? Ren's house was bought from others in her great-grandfather's generation. The time when the Zhai family fell into trouble was also close.

But since the Zhai family was ruined in the hands of the Liao people, what does it have to do with the Ren family? Although the Ren family always claimed to be an aristocratic family, Ren Yaoqi knew it. A few decades ago, the Ren family was just an ordinary family in Yanbei, but the Zhai family was already a local prominent family. What is the position of the Ren family to have an enmity with the Zhai family?

Could it be just for that house?

Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, but couldn't think of a reason for it.

But it's also thanks to Dongsheng for being so diligent in helping her find out. So she sincerely said thanks.

But Dong Sheng said: "Actually, this time, it is thanks to Second Young Master Xiao."

Ren Yaoqi was taken aback when he heard the words, Dongsheng asked Xiao Jingxi a question, and Xiao Jingxi mentioned something about himself.

Ren Yaoqi was speechless for a while after hearing the words.

Dongsheng was a little worried that Ren Yaoqi was blaming her for saying this to Xiao Jingxi casually, and was about to apologize when Ren Yaoqi said, "When you see Second Young Master Xiao, remember to thank me. Also, since you You have already followed him, so naturally you shouldn’t have anything behind his back. It’s fine if he doesn’t ask you. If you ask, you must never lie.”

Dong Sheng heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly responded.

Dongsheng is already Xiao Jingxi's person, and Ren Yaoqi asked Dongsheng to run errands for her, but she actually borrowed him. Xiao Jingxi's not caring about her is because of his generosity, Ren Yaoqi doesn't want to know what's good or bad. So Xiao Jingxi knew everything she asked Dongsheng to do, and she would not ask Dongsheng for embarrassing things.

Ren Yaoqi and Dongsheng were talking on the carriage, and Xiao Jinglin soon came back with two small bowls.

Those are two pastel fine porcelain bowls. It looks like it's not from that stall, and I don't know when Xiao Jinglin got it out.

Apple stepped forward to take the bowl and let Xiao Jinglin get into the carriage.

Ren Yaoqi looked curiously at the bowl of bean huā on the table. There are some red, green and green seasonings on it.

She has also eaten bean huā, which can be regarded as a small snack in Kyoto, smooth and delicious. But everything she ate was sweet. This is the first time I have seen such a strange Douhuā.

Apple took out a silver spoon to Ren Yaoqi, and Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jinglin.

However, Xiao Jinglin had already picked up the bowl in her hand and blew on it, while drinking in small sips, without even asking for a spoon.

Ren Yaoqi recognized the layer of chili oil on it, and dared not drink it directly like her, so she took a spoonful of it.

There is no doubt that the taste is really good. Even though she doesn't know much about Xiao Jinglin, her appreciation of food is really good.

Xiao Jinglin was sweating from drinking, Ren Yaoqi slowly finished the bowl with a spoon.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi with a rare smile in her eyes.

Ren Yaoqi put down the silver spoon in her hand and nodded: "Yes, it's delicious."

The smile in Xiao Jinglin's eyes deepened: "I knew you would like it."

When they were eating in the carriage, the carriage stopped and did not move. Now that they finished eating inside, they moved forward slowly.

"How do you know this is delicious?" Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile, she didn't believe that Xiao Jinglin walked around the streets with her mouth and nose in her mouth all day when she had nothing to do. Even such hidden places can be found.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinglin said in a low voice: "People close to me know that I like to eat, so they will chat with me. The bean huā here is delicious because a soldier told me. The old couple who bought bean huā are His neighbor."

I see.

Although Xiao Jinglin is a princess, most of the people under her command come from ordinary people. This also shows from one aspect that Xiao Jinglin's life in the army is not bad, at least no one rejects her.

"Princess, Miss, you have reached the second gate of Yunfu." Dong Sheng's hearty voice sounded from outside.

The Yun family has arrived.

The two got out of the carriage one after another, and then they saw a few women and maids rushing up from the door of the second door, their faces seemed to be smiling like flowers.

"Princess, you are here. Our old ladies and wives are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally we are looking forward to you."

"Mother Gong." Xiao Jinglin calmly and coldly nodded to that mother and greeted her.

The woman, however, looked accustomed to Xiao Jinglin's attitude, with the same smile on her face, and then fixed her eyes on Ren Yaoqi: "This is Miss Ren's family, right?"

Ren Yaoqi could tell at a glance that this nanny must be useful to the old lady of the Yun family or Mrs. Yun's family, and she should give a half salute.

But just now Xiao Jinglin just nodded, if she salutes now, others will think that she is trying to please or flatter her. So Ren Yaoqi only put a kind and gentle smile on her face, and called out "Mother Gong."
