Hongying retreated in response to the voice, and soon led a man with an average face of medium height. She was dressed in the same way as Dongsheng before. She should be one of Xiao Jingxi's entourage.

After the ceremony, Tongde stands aside respectfully. If you don't pay attention to it, most people will not stay on him. His sense of existence was very low, but Ren Yaoqi felt a strange aura from him. She didn't know how to describe it. She just felt that it would be very serious to judge such people by their appearance.

"If you have any questions, ask him." Xiao Jingxi was on the road to Ren Yao.

Xiao Jingxi's words let Ren Yaoqi know that his judgment is not wrong, but even so, she can not help but be a little surprised. Is it hard for his subordinate to know nothing?

Xiao Jingxi seems to know Ren Yaoqi's thoughts, but smiles and doesn't speak.

Seeing him so, Ren Yaoqi asked: "when can the people of Liu family, lady Leitai's outsider, arrive in Yunyang city?"

Tongde bowed his head and said, "Miss Hui, you can arrive before Youshi tomorrow."

Ren Yaoqi takes a look at Xiao Jingxi, who pours tea with a smile and does not interfere in their conversation.

After thinking about it, Ren Yaoqi asked again, "when will Leitai lady put the coffin?"

"Seven days."

As long as the conditions permit, the funeral customs of the Zhou Dynasty usually stop coffins for seven days, or even for more than ten days or even several months, but this is a minority. Especially in summer, it's seven days off.

Ren Yaoqi nodded, then raised his head to Xiao Jing and said, "how did Mrs. Leitai die?"

"Why ask?" Ren Yaoqi had already known that Mrs. Leitai died of suicide. Naturally, she asked what kind of Fangshi she committed suicide.

Ren Yaoqi thought for a while and said softly, "I guess there should be no obvious injury or poisoning on Mrs. Leitai's body."

Xiao Jingxi was surprised: "how did you guess that?"

Although she didn't mean to, Xiao Jingxi caught a trace of wisdom and determination from her bright eyes: "isn't it obvious? The Liu family came to recognize people and will arrive tomorrow. Even if Mrs. Leitai has passed away, who knows if they want to find a way to see the remains? Knowing that the person coming is not good, the Lei family still dares to let Mrs. Leitai stop at home for seven days before being buried, which shows that Mrs. Leitai's body should not show that she committed suicide. "

Looking at Ren Yao period, Xiao Jingxi suddenly laughed, supported his jaw and said, "it's reasonable, and you can guess it well."

Xiao Jingxi sighed: "although Mrs. Leitai was born in a humble age, she is indeed a character. I sent someone to check it out and concluded that she died of a broken heart. Whether it is due to illness or external force, the heart vein fracture can not be seen from the surface

Ren Yaoqi knew that some older people might die because of an accident. However, according to Xiao Jingxi, Mrs. Leitai's heart pulse may be broken due to external force. As for how to find out, Ren Yao period did not know, but this is not the point.

"I have nothing to ask." Ren Yaoqi nodded and thanks Tongde.

Although Xiao Jingxi was a little surprised, she only asked such two seemingly unimportant small questions, but also did not say anything, let Tongde step down.

"If you are in a dilemma, we can play chess to determine the outcome."

Xiao Jingxi suggested: "how about I let you have five pieces of chess?"

Xiao Jingxi knows the strength of Ren Yaoqi. If he lets her have a few pieces, Ren Yaoqi will not have no chance to win.

Ren Yao period is thinking about what, smell speech back to God, or shake his head: "or bet on the original that bar."

As calm as Xiao Jingxi, now I can't help being curious: "how do you want to help the Lei family?"

Ren Yaoqi blinked, but with some mischievous: "if I ask thunder to arrange Mrs. Lei to be buried early tomorrow morning, what will he do?"

In fact, there are people who stop coffins for three days, but aristocratic families do not.

Xiao Jingxi didn't speak. Xiao Jinglin, who had been watching the excitement, frowned: "do you want Mrs. Leitai to go to the ground before the Lius come? In this way, it really avoided the trouble of the Liu family for the time being, but Will the Han family allow it? "

Xiao Jingxi thought so, but when he saw the sly smile on the corner of Ren Yaoqi's mouth, he could not help but move in his heart. He looked down for a moment and pondered it carefully. He was afraid that he would understand for a moment.

When lifting his eyes again, looking at Ren Yao's eyes, he couldn't help being a little complicated: "it's really a good way."

Ren Yaoqi could not help but feel a little frustrated when he thought about her plan in such a flash. If the enemy also had nine orifices like Xiao Jingxi, would she not have to lead her neck and kill her?

"I'm not sure if you say that." The half true and half false tunnel of Ren Yao period.

Xiao Jingxi smiles and comforts: "those who are in the game are confused, and those who are onlookers are clear."

Xiao Jinglin glanced at Xiao Jingxi, then turned her head to Hongying and said, "he should take medicine. Bring it up."

Xiao Jingxi:

Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jinglin and couldn't help laughing. She knew that Xiao Jinglin might be upset, but she didn't know whether she was angry with Xiao Jingxi, who was more sensitive than her, or whether she was ignored by them for their own words.But at this time, Xiao Jinglin finally has the appearance of a girl who is not many years old with her. Although Princess Xiao is awkward, her face is expressionless and calm.

Red tassel immediately brought a bowl of medicine over, this speed makes Ren Yaoqi feel that they have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

Xiao Jingxi silently stares at the medicine bowl for a moment, then calmly drinks all the medicine in the bowl, without knowing Xiao Jinglin.

Ren Yaoqi took advantage of him to drink medicine, and Xiao Jinglin explained a few words.

Red tassel will medicine bowl to clean up after going out, come back the way shopkeeper just come up to ask whether can serve dish.

They had been talking a lot of time before, and it was just time to eat.

Xiao Jingxi nodded his head and ordered: "pass it on."

As soon as she talked about eating, Xiao Jinglin immediately got up her spirits and said to Ren Yaoqi, "last time I said I'd like to eat roast duck with you. I don't want to be delayed. Tan Ji's roast duck is very famous, and there are their branches in Kyoto, but Xiao Jingxi said that the one in Kyoto is not as authentic as the one in Yunyang city. "

Ren Yaoqi didn't eat the Tanji roast duck in Yunyang city. The Kyoto family did. Mr. Pei likes Tan Ji's duck neck very much. When she drinks at home on weekdays, she never forgets to ask her servant to buy him a drink and dish.

Thinking of these past events, Ren Yao's expression is a little trance. Compared with the ten years in Yanbei, I was more impressed by my life in Kyoto and the years after that when I followed Mr. Pei.

Xiao Jingxi noticed the twinkling spirit of Ren Yao's period and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The dish came up soon. It was a table made by Hongying and Xiao Jinglin's other maid. She was not a person in the restaurant. Ren Yaoqi believed that someone was watching the kitchen.

The last few times I had dinner with Xiao Jinglin, I didn't have so much attention. Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but take a look at Xiao Jingxi. Then he got a little clear. He couldn't help but sigh that Yanbei palace is really a strange place. It's more important to raise sons than daughters.

Xiao Jingxi is very keen. Ren Yaoqi's vision of the past is immediately captured by him. He can't help but feel a little puzzled.

Xiao Jinglin saw that the layout outside was almost finished, so she pulled Ren Yaoqi to get up, and then said to Xiao Jingxi without any expression: "she just thinks you are too delicate. I'm not easy to get along with. There's no other meaning."

Ren Yaoqi turned his head in silence.

Princess, are you really kind to help me explain?

Ren Yaoqi didn't know if she was dazzled. She saw the blue veins of Xiao Jingxi's forehead jumping under the perfect smile.

Ren Yaoqi coughed slightly, and felt that he should say two words to ease the atmosphere: "I want to thank Mr. Xiao, because he has to pay more attention to my wife." She admitted that it was her who was delicate, not the bad childe.

However, Xiao Jinglin was ungrateful and opened her mouth to say something. Ren Yaoqi was afraid that she would list some of Xiao Jingxi's "delicacies". She quickly took her for a few steps, and interrupted with a smile: "I seldom eat in the restaurant outside. I come out with the princess twice."

Xiao Jinglin didn't go on. She just followed her words and said, "there are not many restaurants in Yunyang City, but there are only two or three restaurants. We will have a try later."

Xiao Jingxi came out slowly, his face was no longer embarrassed.

Because they have men and women, but not all blood relatives, it is not good to eat on a table. So the maids moved in three tables. Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin's two tables were placed side by side. Xiao Jingxi was sitting opposite, similar to the arrangement at some banquets.

Xiao Jinglin must not like to eat like this, so she has a slight word about Xiao Jingxi's arrangement.

However, Ren Yaoqi also felt that although there were no outsiders except the three of them and a few servant girls, she still had to abide by the proper rules. She didn't feel bad about Xiao Jingxi's arrangement. Because, on the whole, she is a regular person.

Tan Ji's signature dish is roast duck, with the crispy Nang slices, it looks like you can eat your fingers.

She and Xiao Jinglin's short table, in addition to a plate of good roast duck, there are several other hot dishes, meat and vegetable, color is also beautiful.

The dishes on Xiao Jingxi's table are very light. At first glance, you can't see any red and green colors. They are all about water and water, and most of them are vegetarian.

Ren Yaoqi remembered that Xiao Jingxi was not in good health, so he must avoid eating food on weekdays.

The meal was not hard, even with Xiao Jingxi present.

From the beginning to the end, Xiao Jingxi sat there quietly, eating with his head bowed. He didn't let anyone serve him. He didn't know if it was because of what Xiao Jinglin said just now.
