On the morning of the next day, Ren Yaoqi was reading in his study across the courtyard. Ren Yaohua's servant girl, parsley, asked to see him.

Because Ren Shimin's study forbids servant girl to enter at will, Ren Yao period goes out to see her.

"Miss Wu, the little brother of the accountant surnamed yuan just came to see you, but his wife sent mother Zhou to see him. Seeing that he only came to bring you insoles for little sister Zhu, she picked up things for you and sent people away." The parsley came close to Ren Yao's ear and whispered.

Ren Yao was surprised and asked, "what about others? Have you left yet? How long have you been walking? "

Parsley nodded and shook his head: "I just went out to do business, when I came back, I met him in the yard. He knew the maid and thought that she was your maid. He stopped her and asked her to tell you. The maid told him that if he had something to report, he would send a woman in. A man in the outer courtyard would always ask for the lady in the inner courtyard, which would make his wife unhappy. He said to go to his mother and come in and talk to you. "

Ren Yaoqi was relieved and said with a smile, "good girl, thank you very much."

Parsley grinned and revealed two dimples: "I'll go back first. The third lady will look for the maid later."

Ren Yaoqi nodded and let her go.

After thinking about it, he immediately called his servant girl apple to come over and ordered her to say, "go and guard near the second gate. If you see sister yuan coming, bring her to see me."

The apple went in a hurry.

Ren Yaoqi was thinking about yuan Dayong's news, so he cleaned up his study and went back to his Western chamber.

In the inner room, Mammy Xu is cleaning the cage with Sydney and mulberry.

When Ren Yaoqi went in, she heard mother Xu say, "the clothes of Miss Wu are very rare."

Mulberry said: "the third Miss likes to wear red, but we seldom wear red. But our young lady looks good in everything

Mother Xu said, "Miss Wu has a white complexion. She really looks good in anything she wears."

Mother Xu is a new comer. It's normal to know what the master likes. Ren Yao only stops for a moment and enters the room.

Mother Xu and her two maids were busy curving their knees.

Ren Yaoqi nodded and said, "I still have some things in the storehouse across the east courtyard. If mother Xu is free, she will also take care of it. Later, when changing the furnishings in the house, there will be some bottom. The pamphlet is in mother Zhou's place. You can tell her then. "

"Miss, do you want to come back and have a rest? Would you like to check the contents of the house later? I'm going to ask mother Zhou for the pamphlet. "

Ren Yao said with a smile: "it's so good, you go."

Mother Xu then took Sydney and mulberry salute and retired. Before she went out, she quietly ordered two little maids to stay outside to serve.

Ren Yaoqi casually took a travel book and leaned under the south window to read it, waiting for apple to bring sister-in-law yuan in.

After waiting for a long time, apple finally came back.

"Miss, the maid has brought sister-in-law yuan. She is waiting outside. Do you want to see her now?"

Ren Yao period slowly sat up straight: "let her in, you go outside to guard, if someone comes, no matter who it is, remember to report earlier."

Apple nodded solemnly: "maid knows, miss, you can rest assured."

Soon Apple brought sister-in-law yuan, and walked out of the house.

Sister yuan saluted and wiped the sweat from her forehead. I must have been in a hurry.

"Miss Wu, I have kept you waiting."

Ren Yaoqi said with apology: "it's me who bothered you."

Sister in law Yuan said with a smile, "I know it's Miss Wu. You are kind-hearted, otherwise you won't take care of these things."

Ren Yaoqi shook his head and said nothing more. He asked directly, "did yuan Dayong go to baiyun temple to find Zhu ruomei?"

Sister yuan sighed and shook her head: "No

Ren Yao can't help but frown. Can't she guess wrong? Does that poem not imply the White Dragon Temple?

However, sister-in-law Yuan went on: "Dayong said that he searched the Bailong Temple inside and outside, and found nothing wrong. But just as he was about to leave, a note was thrown at his feet

With that, sister-in-law yuan took out from her sleeve pocket something similar to what yuan Dayong showed her last time. It was a roll of paper tied with a black brown hair band.

Afraid that it was not clean, sister-in-law yuan took the initiative to help Ren Yaoqi open it and put it on the Kang Table in front of Ren Yaoqi.

As expected, it was the same handwriting as the last time, or it was written in neat regular script. Only this time, there was only one word on this paper: "Kuai"

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help laughing bitterly. This person has not finished! Are you addicted to guessing riddles?

Seeing Ren Yaoqi's helpless expression, sister-in-law could not help but read the word up and down. She said in a strange way: "Dayong took the note apart and read it first. However, he didn't know what the word" 哓 "meant, so she could only take it back and show it to Miss Wu. Dayong said that the "white dragon fish suit" you guessed last time should be right. Maybe you can guess this timeYes, it's not difficult for her to guess the answer, but it's a little difficult for her to do what the man said.

Ren Yaoqi was silent for a moment and sighed, "I know, sister-in-law yuan, go back first. I'll be delivering the message to you later

Seeing Ren Yaoqi saying this, sister-in-law yuan didn't know whether she had guessed it or not. However, she was not easy to ask, so she could only stand up and salute: "the slave and maid will go out first. If there is any order from the young lady, she will send someone to the outer yard to say something to the head of my family."

Ren Yaoqi nodded and offered tea to sister-in-law yuan to step down.

It was only when sister-in-law yuan came to the door that Ren Yaoqi heard the voice of apples outside: "what are you doing? The young lady said no one would wait on him

"Didn't mammy teach you? When the guests come, they want tea. I'm just going in to deliver tea, and I'll be out in a minute. What are you talking about? " This is the voice of green plum.

It's not like sister-in-law yuan standing at the door to go out or come in.

Ren Yao frowned slightly.

At this time, another voice lowered his voice and exclaimed, "what are you shouting about here? What to do if you disturb the young lady It was mammy Xu who came back.

Ren Yaoqi waved her hand to sister-in-law yuan to show that she didn't need to care, so she opened the door with a "squeak".

All the voices outside stopped.

Sister Yuan said hello to them and left.

After a while, Mammy Xu came in with apple and plum. When she saw Ren Yaoqi sitting on the Kang reading a book, she quickly confessed her guilt: "the fifth Miss atones for her sins. It's the maidservant's lax discipline that disturbs the young lady."

Ren Yao raised his head and glanced at the green plum: "what should I do?"

"Miss, I'm just here to serve tea..." Qingmei heard Ren Yaoqi's displeasure and bit her lips to explain. However, when she looked up at her eyes, she immediately lowered her head and did not dare to say anything.

Mammy Xu was also surprised by the flash in Ren Yao's eyes. She lowered her head and stood erect.

Last time in the main room, Ren Yaoqi made a joke about her and mother Gao. She thought Ren Yaoqi was a spoiled and willful child.

However, after serving for a day at Ren Yao's side, she found that there was not a trace of the coquettish habits of the fifth miss. He was very gentle and polite. In addition to the maid Qingmei, who was sent by Aunt Qingmei, all the others said that Ren Yaoqi was a good master with good temper and good service.

But the look in Ren Yao's eyes Although she is not vicious, and even does not show too much mood, she is a grown-up woman who has experienced a lot.

Mother Xu could not help but remind herself that she must be more prudent and rigorous in future.

The apples and green plums all retreated. Mother Xu poured a cup of tea to Ren Yaoqi and put it on the table in front of Ren Yaoqi.

"Mammy, have something to say?" Ren Yaoqi turned over a page of the book and did not look up.

Mammy Xu thought for a moment: "Miss, is this plum maid not suitable to stay with you?"

Ren Yao period hears the speech in the hand a meal, pick eyebrow to see Xu mammy one eye, in the eye with gentle smile: "does Xu mammy mean?"

Mother Xu didn't know why, but she felt a little stiff. She calmed down and said, "although I've only been here for a day, I shouldn't have said that. However, since the maid is already the lady's housekeeper, the maid beside the girl is the duty of the maid. I look at this green plum's mind is not in the crape myrtle yard? If you keep it, it will happen one day. "

Just a day ago, I found out the details of the maids Mother Xu is not a mediocre. Ren Yaoqi couldn't help laughing.

"What should mammy see?" Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile, "Qingmei and Xueli were given to me by my aunt when she took over the crape myrtle yard. In addition to them, there are several other maids. However, I was not satisfied with the use of those, and had been sent away by mother Zhou. But the words that were all dismissed were somewhat inhuman, and two were left behind. It is said that Sydney is safe and responsible, but she has not made any big mistakes

Mammy Xu thought for a moment: "it's good to see the Sydney maid. It's also good if the young lady wants to stay. I'm afraid the green plum is not appropriate."

Ren Yao period nodded: "since the things in this room have been handed over to you, Mammy, you can do it as you like, just don't make the scene ugly."

"Yes, I know." Mother Xu replied in a low voice.

Ren Yao looked down to read again.

Mother Xu retreated quietly.

As soon as mammy Xu left, Ren Yaoqi put down the book in her hand, full of contemplation.

Just now, the word "Kuai" is a riddle, and adding "one" to the character is "Xiao", so the answer to the riddle is "knowing at first sight".
