Xiao Jingxi watched Ren Yaoqi walk slowly out of the courtyard. The dark and beautiful eyes still contain a light smile, but a touch of meditation appears quietly.

He turned around and slowly walked back to the stone bench and sat down. His slender fingers twisted up the round pieces that had been taken back from the chess pot. He repeated the previous chess game one by one. His action was focused and leisurely.

There are only one person and one sheep left in the quiet courtyard, forming a silent landscape.

I don't know when, a man in a gray cloth shirt quietly stood behind Xiao Jingxi, without saying a word and standing by.

Xiao Jingxi didn't look back. He didn't speak until the pieces on the chessboard had been set. His deep soft voice was like an ancient movement: "Han's business is a household affair of the Han family, so they don't have to interfere."

The man in the gray cloth shirt answered unconsciously. After that, he said, "Han Dongshan went to ask manager Gu, who is close to the Lord, and sent someone to check it."

Xiao Jingxi slightly tilted his head and frowned at his beautiful eyebrow: "why is the palace so idle recently?"

The man in grey bowed his head and did not dare to answer.

Looking at the chessboard, Xiao Jingxi's fingers moved gently to change the chess game on the board. He said leisurely, "go and tell manager Gu that you can't handle your own housework well. What else can Yanbei palace expect from them?" His voice was soft, but his words were heavy.

"Yes, young master, I understand." The man in grey is busy bowing his head to answer the way.

Xiao Jingxi continued to fiddle with the chess game. Sometimes he went back and went back again. There was no sound but wind and grass moving.

Just when the man in Grey thought Xiao Jingxi had nothing to say, he heard him open his mouth again: "go and check Han Dongshan."

Although the man in gray is a little strange, why the master suddenly pays attention to the Han family, he still bows his head at the first time.

"How is the army now?" Xiao Jingxi immediately left the Han family and asked about another thing.

"Master Hui, Mrs. Wu took Miss Wu back to her house, accompanied by Wu Xiao and an old counselor Zhou He. Zhou he asked to see the Lord three times these days, and the Lord should have met him twice. "

His wife Wu is the wife of Wu Xiaohe, the current general soldier of Ningxia, and Xiao Wei, the princess of Yanbei palace, and the aunt of Xiao Jingxi.

When Xiao Jingxi heard this, his eyebrows and eyes did not change at all: "what I asked was about the army, not about the palace."

The man in Gray said: "since the news of the last imperial court's disarmament was publicized, several riots have taken place in Yanbei army under the instigation of several people with ulterior motives. In accordance with the childe's command, my subordinates did not move for the time being, and secretly wrote down the people who had chosen to pick things up. Today, it was reported that they planned to gather more people to make trouble in the near future. They also planned to take the money to hide in the mountains after plundering several big shops in Yunyang city and take advantage of the mountain to become king. "

Xiao Jingxi didn't speak when he heard the speech. He looked at the chessboard and thought deeply. He didn't know whether he was thinking about the chess path or the things reported by his subordinates.

After half a ring, he picked up the pieces on the chessboard one by one and said, "let Tonghe prepare the carriage and return to Yunyang city today."

"This side of Bailong temple..."

Xiao Jingxi said lightly: "Tongde will stay."

His voice fell. I don't know where he came out again. A man with an average face of medium stature saluted Xiao Jingxi respectfully.

"I'll give you a month to solve the problems of Bailong temple and other major monasteries." Xiao Jingxi took a look at Tongde who had just come out and said in a low voice.

"Yes, sir." Tongde bowed his head and said.

Xiao Jingxi got up and went outside. The slender figure soon disappeared at the entrance of the cave.

When Ren Yaoqi came out, she didn't see Xiao Jinglin. She squatted under the eaves in front of the wing room. Seeing Ren Yaoqi come out, she ran quickly and followed her.

There was no one else on the way, and the master and servant went out of the yard.

At the gate of the courtyard, Xi'er, the big maid beside Li's family, was calling the two women to one side for questioning. Seeing Ren Yaoqi coming out, she rushed to meet him: "Miss, are you ok?"

Xi'er looks at Ren Yao with worry.

"I'm fine. The princess just offered me a cup of tea." Ren Yao's warm voice comforts Xi'er.

"How did you get here?"

"Madam, I heard that you were taken away by the princess of Yanbei palace. She was a little worried, so she sent the maids to watch." Xi'er said with some curiosity: "Miss five, how do you recognize the princess?"

Ren Yaoqi shook his head while walking: "I saw the princess for the first time today, and I didn't know her before."

"Why did she invite you to tea for no reason?" Xi'er didn't distrust Yaoqi, but she was very curious and puzzled.

It's said that the princess of Yanbei palace is very eccentric. She doesn't go back to the Palace once a year. What's most incomprehensible is that she has to follow several generals of Yanbei mansion to inspect the border, dance swords and guns, which is better than a man.This princess is a rumored character. In the eyes of ordinary people, she is no different from those in the drama and the legendary women in the book. However, such a woman suddenly forced her young lady to drink tea. However, they had not met before, and they did not know each other at all.

this is really beyond our imagination.

"The princess only said that she wanted to have tea with someone. As for why it was me, I don't know." Ren Yaoqi explained patiently.

It was not only a few servant girls who were surprised that Xiao Jinglin had dragged Ren Yaoqi to tea. When she returned to her resting yard, Li, who had been waiting for a long time, was also puzzled.

Ren Yaoqi said it again according to the answer just now. After thinking for a long time, Li couldn't think of a reason.

Mother Zhou comforted Li and said, "since the princess has no malice, you don't have to worry, madam. And the princess likes our fifth miss, which is a good thing. Although the princess doesn't often return to the Yanbei palace, he is very much liked by him. "

Li nodded: "you are right. Although the princess has a strange temperament, she has never heard of any evil

Ren Yaoqi did not know that Xiao Jingxi returned to Yunyang city soon after she left. She and Li's set out for Baihe Town in the early morning of the next day.

When the carriage went down the mountain road, the wind blew the curtain open. Ren Yaoqi looked out at random and saw two nuns in light gray Taoist robes walking up the mountain while talking.

Ren Yaoqi can't help but look at the older nun. She has fair skin and charming appearance. When she talks with people, she has a bit of unintentional flattery in her eyes. From the edge of her hat on the side of her ear, you can see the black hairline. She has not shaved her head.

Ren Yaoqi was thinking about the identity of the nun, but the nun turned her head slightly and looked at this side as if she felt something. Seeing that it was a carriage used by the wives of a large family, she turned her head and continued to talk and laugh with a younger nun.

Ren Yaoqi, sitting in the carriage, could hear her bold and clear laughter. However, when the young nuns of the same trade saw passers-by looking at them, they whispered to remind the nun to be quiet.

The nun with hair is as if she hasn't heard of it. She still talks and laughs loudly.

Mother Zhou looked out and frowned, "where does this woman look like a monk?"

Ren Yaoqi thought about a female nun in baiyunfa nearby when she came to Bailong Temple last time. The nun with hair must be the aunt surnamed Liang.

the last time Bailong Temple sent someone to adjust Baiyun fax. They went down the mountain to Baihe Town and did not see the follow-up of this matter. However, after hearing from Xiang Qin, the family members of the two brothers in law said that they wanted to report to the government. However, it was difficult to judge whether the household affairs were honest and upright. The fact that the sister-in-law of Liang lived with the tenant farmer was not to be publicized. Moreover, they had no evidence to prove that it was the two aunts who were responsible for it. In the end, the matter was over.

Liang's husband's family suffered a heavy loss. No one dared to go up the mountain any more. The men were stopped at the foot of the mountain by the monks guarding the gate.

Today, it's reckless to look at this aunt Liang. The last time something like that happened, she could still stay in the pure place of Buddhism without any influence. This woman should not be a simple person.

The carriage passed by two nuns, and Ren Yaoqi slowly withdrew his sight.

After walking down the mountain and turning from the path around the mountain to the official road, we saw several carriages coming from the direction of Yunyang city. The style of the carriages was very similar to that of Ren Yaoqi and Li's.

"Madam, the second wife's carriage is behind us, coming from the direction of Yunyang city." There is a report outside.

"The second sister-in-law said before that she was back in Yunyang city to attend her nephew's wedding banquet. She should have come from her mother's home. Tell the front to stop first and wait for the second sister-in-law's carriage first. " Li ordered softly.

So the carriage of the Li family and his party stopped slowly, and the carriage behind them soon caught up and stopped beside the Li's carriage. The second wife, Su, lifted the curtain to reveal a plain and gentle face.

Li also lifted the curtain and called "Er Sao" with a smile.

Su's gentle nod: "just saw the carriage of Ren's family in front of him, I thought which master of the house came to burn incense in Bailong temple. It turned out to be the third younger sister."

Ren Yaoqi called out two aunts.

"Why? Is sister five there The voice of Ren Yaoting sounded in Su's carriage, and then the face of Ren Yaoting appeared beside the curtain.

Su's frown rebuked his daughter: "Pavilion son, don't you say hello to three aunts first? No rules. "

Ren Yaoting called "three aunts" in a hurry, but his eyes were glancing at Li's carriage.

Li said with a smile for Ren Yaoting: "their sisters haven't seen each other for several days. It's reasonable to be closer."

"Mother, I want to sit with my five sisters. Last time I talked about my big cousin with five elder sisters. She said that most of the women in Beijing were indulgent and hard to talk. But my eldest cousin is not. My daughter is going to talk to her about her Ren Yaoting seeks Tao.

Su's smell speech also did not stop, nodded gently way: "you ask your five elder sister's meaning, if she is willing, your sister goes to the back carriage to sit." (to be continued.
