Scheme of the Official Descendant

Yun Wenfang took a sip from the flagon in Yun Wenting's hand, but did not speak.

Yun Wenting knew that he was acquiescing, so he couldn't help pressing the center of his eyebrows, and fell silent.

The two sat in silence for a while, and Yun Wenfang suddenly asked, "What do you want most?" Although he had drunk a lot, Yun Wenfang was unexpectedly quiet when he asked this question.

Yun Wenting didn't answer, and Yun Wenfang didn't ask a second time.

I don't know how long it took, when Yun Wenfang drank himself to the point of losing his mind again, he heard someone beside him singing in a low voice to the beat: "Three winters come from the north, nine summers do not return to the south, although Qingxi Gloomy, the snow is still capped, the grass is blowing in the evening, and the sun sets in the distant mountains..."

Yun Wenfang thought for a long time before he remembered that this was a folk song near Jiajingguan, and all Yanbei soldiers who had guarded the border would sing it. He listened silently for a long time, and in the end he couldn't tell whether it was Yun Wenting who sang the song or his own voice singing in his heart.

After drinking the last drop of wine, Yun Wenfang twitched the corners of his mouth, and murmured something in a low voice. I don't know if he drank too much or he didn't say it out loud. No one could hear what he said clearly. , as if it was just a sneer like in the past.

After dawn, Yun Wenfang and Yun Wenting returned to Yun's house.

This time, Yun Wenfang's father invited Yun Wenfang's family law, tied Yun Wenfang to the stool outside the Yun family's ancestral hall, and beat him half to death. The blood from Yun Wenfang's body soaked the execution In the end, if Yun Wenting, the young master of the Yun family, hadn't invited Mrs. Yun to intercede, Yun Wenfang's life would have to be confessed here.

But no matter how the Yun family punishes Yun Wenfang, the eldest daughter of the Yun family, Yun Qiuchen, can't heal one ear, let alone the two brothers and sisters, who stripped the face of the Yun family in front of so many people. The shame that I have suffered cannot be made up for in any case.

The Yun family was busy closing the door to clean up the house, but the daughter banquet at the hot spring villa was still going on, even though no one from the Yun family, the original host, was left. The young lady was also taken back, the Yun family was humiliated this time, and they really didn't have the mood to stay in the hot spring villa and be watched by others.

However, at the Qianjin Banquet on the second day, to everyone's surprise, Concubine Yun, who originally thought she would not be present, sat on the high platform with the support of the concubine, and she and the old concubine each occupied a side to fight against each other.

Concubine Yun never liked to join in this kind of excitement, and she also didn't like to appear on the same occasion as the old concubine, especially since she was ill yesterday, and now she looks a little pale.

But even though Concubine Yun had a sick look on her face, she was still dressed plainly, and she didn't look humble when standing with the old concubine. On the contrary, in terms of momentum and temperament, the old concubine may not be comparable to Concubine Yun.

When Concubine Yun walked in front of the old concubine, she nodded slightly as a greeting, and then walked to her seat and sat down.

The old concubine couldn't understand Taifei Yun's behavior, especially that it was very embarrassing for her not to salute her in front of so many people. How could she be higher than Concubine Yun half order.

"Sure enough, once a family enters a family, I don't know how to write the words of etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame." The old princess said sarcastically.

The original intention of her saying this was to allude to the matter of Yun Qiuchen and Yun Wenfang. Yesterday's incident was so big, and the old concubine was also in the hot spring villa, so she had heard of it. Her words even scolded Concubine Yun, accusing the Yun family of not knowing etiquette.

Concubine Yun glanced at the old concubine after hearing the words: "Are you talking about me?"

The old concubine snorted coldly, her meaning was self-evident.

Concubine Yun did not want to but nodded her head: "You are right, the prince is not in the mansion for two or three days, and there is no way to greet you. It is because I don't know how to be polite. I didn't teach it well."

The old concubine's expression became even uglier upon hearing this.

She was clearly talking about the Yun family, but Concubine Yun was referring to the prince, as if she was afraid that others would not know that the current King Yanbei came out of her belly, and that she and she belonged to the same family.

If it was in an ordinary family, even if a concubine gave birth to a child, she would have to recognize her first wife as the mother. Unfortunately, because of the bad debt between Yanbei and the court, strictly speaking, Concubine Yun is not actually a concubine.

At that time, Concubine Yun and Old Yanbei King had three matchmakers and six appointments. If there had been no imperial court intervening, Concubine Yun would have been the serious wife of Old Yanbei. Therefore, in order to appease the Xiao family, the imperial court gave Concubine Yun It was also sealed, so Yanbei King and Princess still called Concubine Yun their mother, and siblings Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin also called Concubine Yun their grandmother.

The so-called beating people without slapping their faces, and exposing others without revealing their shortcomings, but Concubine Yun caught the old princess' flaws and stomped to death. Everyone knew that the biggest dissatisfaction of the princess in her life was not having a son. An embarrassing situation.

The old concubine and Concubine Yun were fighting, the concubine did not interfere, she sat in her seat and called Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi to come over, and whispered some things to them.

However, the tense scene between the old princess and Concubine Yun fell into the eyes of those present.

Those who were still gloating at the Yun family's misfortune saw Concubine Yun appearing on the stage, and they were not at a disadvantage in confronting the old concubine, and the desire to wait for a joke in their hearts faded a lot. They saw Concubine Yun's calm attitude facing the old concubine, and then looked at the concubine who was also from the Yun family, and they couldn't help thinking that as long as Concubine Yun and Concubine Yun were still there, the Yun family would not really fall .

Concubine Yun sat at the head, seeing the expressions of everyone in the audience, she bowed her head silently and took a sip of tea.

Although Ren Yaoqi was listening to the concubine, she also secretly paid attention to the movements around her. She seemed to understand the reason why Concubine Yun appeared here.

Concubine Yun came here to support the Yun family, and even this open and secret fight with the old concubine was for this purpose, and the old concubine was well used by Concubine Yun.

Obviously, Concubine Yun's move had a good effect, and those who wanted to harm the Yun family had to restrain themselves and weigh it carefully after seeing this scene.

Concubine Yun accepted as soon as she saw a good deal, and she stopped talking to the old concubine after she won a hand-to-hand fight.

Speaking of which, Concubine Yun's affection for the Yun family is deeper than the concubine's affection for the Yun family. The current patriarch of the Yun family is Taifei Yun's biological elder brother. The princess' parents died young, and the patriarch of the Yun family is her uncle. layer.

The judges for this year's Qianjin Banquet are similar to those of the previous one, still led by Mrs. Xu Ouyang. They also came up after the old concubine, Concubine Yun and Concubine Yun took their seats.

The concubine ordered Ren Yaoqi: "Sit with Mrs. Xu and the others later."

Ren Yaoqi was a little puzzled upon hearing this.

The princess said: "You don't have to go out to compare with them. Today you give them the same score as Mr. Ouyang."

Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a moment, and declined, "Princess, I'm still young, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public."

When the princess heard the words, she raised her face and taught Ren Yaoqi in a low voice: "Remember, this is Yanbei. If anyone dares to be unconvinced on their own territory, let them talk to our Yanbei army." !"

Xiao Jinglin added silently from the side: "What mother means is that it's other people's business whether others accept it or not. If it's really an eyesore, it's purely for beating!"

After a pause, Xiao Jinglin added, "This is what Dad said, and it all means the same thing anyway."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, the previous pressure disappeared, she nodded: "I see, Princess."

The concubine patted her hand, Ren Yaoqi got up and went to Madam Xu, Madam Xu was talking with several other wives who were invited to be judges, when she saw Ren Yaoqi coming, she pointed to the place beside her and said : "Come, sit here." The princess must have had a good relationship with Mrs. Xu before, so it is not surprising to see Ren Yaoqi come over.

Ren Yaoqi walked up to Mrs. Xu and sat down. Seeing this, the other wives also smiled at Ren Yaoqi in a friendly manner, but no one showed her face.

On the other hand, the people below were very surprised to see Ren Yaoqi sitting with Mrs. Xu and the others, and started whispering to the left and right. The old princess and Concubine Yun also looked over here.

But Concubine Yun took a look and turned away without saying anything. The old concubine didn't care much about the Qianjin Banquet, and didn't say anything more at this moment.

The Qianjin Banquet was still presided over by Mrs. Xu. She explained the details of today's competition in detail. In fact, all the ladies in Yanbei knew about it. Mrs. Xu mainly explained it to the ten ladies who came from afar.

Ren Yaoqi casually glanced down, and immediately saw Yan Ningshuang sitting first on the right. Although Yan Ningshuang was terrified by the silly girl yesterday, she still came today. There was a magenta song, and she couldn't see any discomfort due to her meticulous appearance, but she was very strong.

Yan Ningshuang's gaze seemed to be on Ren Yaoqi all the time, so Ren Yaoqi just looked at her casually. Ren Yaoqi nodded politely at her, then looked away again.

After Mrs. Xu had finished introducing the rules, and asked these young ladies if they had anything else to ask, someone said: "When we came, we heard that the gentlemen at the Qianjin Banquet are all admirable elders with both ability and political integrity?"

It was a young lady surnamed Lu from the imperial court who spoke. Although her words were very euphemistic, her gaze was on Ren Yaoqi who was sitting among the gentlemen, and the meaning was self-evident.

Mrs. Xu smiled: "I don't dare to say that I have both ability and political integrity, but they all have their own strengths. As for 'admirable elders'... I don't think age is the most important thing, what you compare is talent, and It’s not about qualifications. Those who can be teachers should take them as teachers, this is the way to learn.”

"Mr. Xu is right, but I don't know what this Miss Ren is good at?" Miss Lu asked relentlessly as she was determined to be the first bird today.

Mrs. Xu didn't answer directly after hearing this, she just smiled and said: "Shut up, everyone will soon know what she is good at." After saying this, Mrs. Xu sat back again. I had no choice but to let it go, thinking that what Mrs. Xu said must be an excuse to fool them.

Ren Yaoqi sighed, she had a premonition that sitting on it would not be easier than sitting on the bottom.

Sure enough, as soon as the competition started, there was a smell of gunpowder smoke on the field, and most of them came for Ren Yaoqi.

The ladies from the imperial court and the ladies from Yanbei came on stage alternately. In line with the courtesy of giving priority to the guests, the people from the imperial court came first, and the first one to appear was the former Miss Lu who was the leader.

Ms. Lu was good-looking, she stood up and greeted everyone gracefully, and then came to the center of the arena. What she showed today was the piano art, and a servant girl had already set up the piano case and the Yaoqin, waiting for her to play.

Miss Lu burned incense and cleaned her hands, sat down upright, and then surprised everyone when she raised her hand to play the piano.

I have to say that this Miss Lu's piano skills are extremely good, with graceful posture and melodious tone, no matter in terms of skill or emotional point of view, people can't find fault. Even the gentlemen on the stage clapped together and nodded. When she finished the song, everyone felt a sense of unfinished business.

Ms. Lu stood up, and without waiting for the gentlemen on the stage to speak, she said, "The students are not talented, and I would like to ask Mr. Ren for advice."

Although her voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone on and off the stage, and the word "Mr. Ren" smacked of provocation for no reason. The scene couldn't help being quiet, almost everyone's eyes were on Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaoqi looked at Ms. Lu who was looking at her modestly, and smiled: "Mr. Xu and Mr. Li are both masters in piano skills. Ms. Lu should ask the two gentlemen for advice."

Miss Lu also smiled, but she watched Ren Yaoqi neither speak nor move.

At this time, the princess sitting in the middle spoke: "Since Miss Lu insists, you can say something casually, Yaoqi."

Mrs. Xu also smiled and nodded towards Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaoqi no longer refused, and said while thinking about words: "Miss Lu is playing the ancient song "Nine Yis" that has been lost?"

Ms. Lu was startled when she heard the words, she nodded and said, "That's right, I found this from a broken score. It's a pity that the original song is already incomplete, and I patched up the second half."

Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "Coincidentally, Yaoqi also helped me sort out some precious remnants of ancient music before, and one of them is "Nine Yis"."

Miss Lu glanced at Ren Yaoqi, a little surprised.

The selected girls all have their own strengths. What she is good at is the piano. Looking at the entire capital, there are not many piano players better than her. With her aptitude, it was a bit difficult when she was compiling the score. She didn't trust her. Yaoqi can do it.

"Would you be lucky enough to listen to Mr. Ren play a piece?"

Ren Yaoqi smiled, and didn't answer her criticism, but said: "Miss Lu ever injured her left wrist?"

"How did Miss Ren know?" Miss Lu's eyes widened involuntarily. When she was young, her left wrist was accidentally scratched by a hairpin, which almost hurt her meridians.

Ren Yaoqi said: "When you play the piano, don't dare to use too much force on the fingers of your left hand. Although you can use skilled techniques to cover it up, the sound of the piano will inevitably have a sense of stagnation."

Miss Lu couldn't help frowning and said, "That's impossible! I always pay attention when I play the piano."

Ren Yaoqi didn't refute, just nodded along with her words, and said with a smile: "Miss Lu is very careful. It is said that the sound of the piano is the voice of the person playing the piano, so I heard you keep saying that you are afraid My hand hurts. If Miss Lu didn't play the piano so well, I wouldn't have discovered this."

As soon as Ren Yaoqi finished speaking, everyone present laughed, and even Ms. Lu curled her lips in embarrassment. When she hurt her wrist, she was forced to practice the piano by her aunt, in order to stand out among the many sisters and save face for her aunt. Later, the injury on her hand healed, but the pain she suffered at that time was recorded by her body, so that her wrist healed up early, but she still felt pain. Later, when she learned something, she began to work hard to overcome this weakness, not wanting to be pointed out today.

Then Mrs. Xu and that Mr. Li also pointed out a few words to Ms. Lu. At this moment, Ms. Lu no longer had the arrogance before, and listened carefully to other people's opinions, and then sat back to herself without saying a word. s position.

When Ren Yaoqi sat down, Xiao Jinglin gave her a thumbs up with everyone behind her back, although she was still sitting upright with a noble and cold-eyed look on her face, Ren Yaoqi felt very happy watching it.

The next one to play is Miss Meng's family. She was originally going to play the piano, but Ms. Lu Zhuyu felt that she did not have the confidence to compete with Miss Lu after the former Miss Meng heard it, so she temporarily changed to flute. She played the flute pretty well, but she seemed a little nervous, so she couldn't catch her breath and played two notes, but she insisted on finishing the tune in the end.

None of the ladies in Yanbei dared to arrogantly name "Mr. Ren" for advice, so in the end, several gentlemen made some comments and encouraged her.

The third person to appear is a Miss Zhou from Kyoto. Miss Zhou is good at calligraphy. She asked someone to hang a piece of white silk on the field, and then started to write "Fu, Lu" in various characters on the white silk at the same time. , Shou" these three words. In just one cup of tea, she has already written egg-sized "Fu, Lu, Shou" on both sides of the four-foot-square white silk cloth. . Everyone has a "looks great" look on their faces.

Ms. Zhou didn't seem to be very talkative, she pursed her lips after putting down the pen, and just lowered her head and said: "I hope Mr. Ren will give you some advice."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ren Yaoqi again.

Many people are gloating and watching the excitement, who can't understand now? These ladies from the imperial court all ganged up to make things difficult for Ren Yaoqi, so they all got into a fight with her.

Ren Yaoqi had already expected this kind of situation when Ms. Lu stood up and asked her to "point out" by name. She glanced at the princess and Mrs. Xu, and stood up again when she saw that they hadn't spoken.

No matter how wryly Ren Yaoqi smiled in her heart, she still calmly and carefully appreciated the words sent by Miss Zhou, thought for a while and said: "Miss Zhou usually practices beauty?"

Miss Zhou glanced at her and nodded, "Yes."

Ren Yaoqi frowned and said: "The appearance is about imposing manner, but it is both rigid and soft. Miss Zhou's calligraphy is beautiful, but because of too many tricks, it is a bit wasteful. If you can return to the basics, Miss Zhou will be very happy. It is beneficial."

Miss Zhou bit her lip and lowered her head. She knew what Ren Yaoqi said was right, and she didn't want to practice these fancy things all day long, but the queen mother and ladies in the palace liked it.

Someone below said: "Mr. Ren speaks clearly and logically, but it is said that the words are not as good as the truth. I don't know how Miss Ren's handwriting is?"

Although Miss Zhou didn't speak, she also took a look at Ren Yaoqi.

In fact, people who know how to appreciate calligraphy and painting may not be able to make good works, just like a gourmet is not necessarily a cook.

Princess Xiao glanced at Hongying, Hongying quickly touched the pen and ink to Ren Yaoqi, and said solemnly: "Mr. Ren, please give me the words."

Ren Yaoqi: "..."

Fortunately, Ren Yaoqi is not an awkward person, picked up a pen and wrote down the three characters "Fu, Lu, Shou" vigorously, without any fancy face, when it was placed next to Miss Zhou's piece of white silk with various patterns The booers below were all quiet.

Ren Yaoqi's talent in calligraphy and painting was even inferior to her husband Pei Zhiyan's at the beginning, plus she was willing to work hard to practice, so naturally she can show it off and live in it.

Ren Yaoqi also understood at this moment that the Qianjin Yanbei Palace did not want to lose.

But carefully selected some people to blatantly win these ladies from the capital city who came from afar, it seems that the Yanbei Palace has no grace. After all, the Qianjin Banquet is not a dragon boat race, and the ladies are not rough-skinned men.

So how can we defeat these ladies sent by the queen mother one by one, and still keep our faces down and downplay their power and arrogance?

So Ren Yaoqi transformed into Mr. Ren.

The concubine asked her to sit with Mr. Xu not to avoid the limelight, but to steal the limelight, and it was still a one-to-ten way to grab the limelight.

No wonder Xiao Jingxi said back then that she was not afraid of offending the Queen Mother if she won.

It's nothing for her to win a group of students as a "sir". Not only did he slap the queen mother in the face, but he also kept the majestic and domineering stance of the Yanbei palace, so he won't lose money.

Ren Yaoqi took a glance at the ladies who were eager to learn their skills, and wanted to follow Xiao Jinglin's example, rolling her eyes gracefully.

Since Ren Yaoqi is the main force to defeat these ladies, the other Yanbei ladies are all here to accompany the prince to study and go through the motions. Although they are generally good, they are not too outstanding. Yanbei still saved some face for the Queen Mother.

The third lady from the imperial court came to juggle. Ren Yaoqi had also seen juggling at the Qianjin Banquet last time. In fact, there were only a few kinds of talents in the women's competition, and they couldn't change too many tricks.

This lady's tricks became better than that of Miss Guo at the last Qianjin Banquet. She shook her hands slightly, and ten small wine bugs appeared on her ten fingers, trembling against her slender fingers. As if the wind blows it will fall.
