Chapter 87
"A letter from home?" Ren Xi took it in astonishment, "Why don't I know when it happened?"

When she opened the letter, she immediately frowned and looked at her maid, "Qiu Ju, you wrote this letter?"

"Yes!" Qiu Ju knelt down ploppingly, "Girl, you should be ready right now, don't you often talk about the young master's return to attend the ceremony? This servant boldly wrote this letter and went to Yanzhen Fortress."

"Bold, you are really brave." Ren Xi shook her head speechlessly, "Come here! Ten...five big boards have given her a long memory."

The two rough maids rushed over with a wry smile and pushed Qiuju aside.

After a while, the sound of the board hitting the butt/butt was heard.

The first-class maids in Taishi's mansion live better than some Xiaojiabiyu.Going down on the five boards, it is estimated that this autumn orange will not be able to get out of bed for ten and a half months.

The four second-class maids pricked up their ears excitedly.

Once the maids make mistakes, they will have a chance to be promoted.

However, Ren Xi just hit Qiuju five boards, and didn't say anything else.After a while, they had no choice but to look back sadly.

"So what's in this letter is fake?" Ren Ning asked.

"It's not fake." Ren Xi shook her head with a smile, "But the marriage has not yet been confirmed. The man will come to the imperial capital in autumn, and my grandmother asked me to meet him first. If I don't like it, my grandmother will not force."

The siblings chatted for a while, Ren Ning saw that she showed no sign of disgust with her current life, so she left silently.

He didn't mention the matter of opening the government independently.

In the afternoon, Ren Ning went into the back house to attend the family banquet.

The masters of the Ren family in the imperial capital, no matter how big or small, all returned home and gathered together.

When Ren Ning entered, there were already three tables full of people.

He is the only male in the entire Grand Master's Mansion who has not been included in the genealogy.In the past, when holding banquets during Chinese New Year, he always sat with his cousins ​​who came to enjoy the autumn breeze.

"Brother Ning, come here and sit down." Eldest brother Ren Rong beckoned.

Ren Ning smiled and shook his head, "I won't sit down, just say two things and leave."

hum!
The whole family feast suddenly shook.

Many masters turned their heads one after another, regardless of whether they were familiar or not, they looked at Ren Ning with surprise on their faces.

The old master waved his hand with a livid face.

The concubines, servants and even the housekeeper who stood aside hurriedly left the banquet hall, standing at a distance not daring to eavesdrop.

Ren Ning turned a blind eye.

"First, please ask the old grand master to ask the general manager to calculate my food and clothing expenses for the past 14 years. Ren Ning will pay double in three days. From then on, I have nothing to do with the grand master's mansion."

"Secondly, I already have a girl I like, and I will marry her in a few days. If the mansion makes an appointment for me in advance, please withdraw the marriage in time, and don't worry about other girls."

"Goodbye, everyone!" After speaking, Ren Ning bowed, turned around and left.

"Brother." Ren Xi stood up and shouted in panic.

Ren Ning heard it, but didn't stop.

Facing a long series of surprised gazes outside the door, he quickly came to the front yard and whistled.

Chasing Feng rushed to his side all of a sudden, and hugged his master's hand intimately.

Ren Ning snorted out a carrot and fed it to the dark horse.

He turned on his mount, "Let's go!"

Once you leave, you won't come back.

Not long after, the Imperial Study Room received news from the Grand Master's Mansion.

Emperor Changxing laughed, "A boy with personality. Didn't the Grand Master say anything?"

"No. Ren Ning didn't leave time for others to speak at all. He turned around and left after speaking."

"This old fox..." Emperor Changxing shook his head.He picked up the new memorial and ignored the affairs of the Grand Master's Mansion.

It's not that the grand master didn't have time to say anything, but he wasn't ready to speak at all.

Forever an emperor.

These four characters left by the founding emperor on the screen wall of Taishi Mansion 600 years ago made the Ren family a well-deserved grand master and young master.Regardless of whether they have really taught the emperor and the prince, just by virtue of this status, they are already the supreme teachers in the hearts of thousands of literati and students.

If such a family has another general in charge of the army, it is estimated that many people will not be able to sleep.

Therefore, when Ren Ning signed his military registration privately four years ago, in fact he had already been expelled from the clan.

Of course, Ren Ning has never entered the genealogy, which saves a lot of trouble.

In the next few days, Ren Ning and Yingpan looked around for a house as if nothing had happened.

It's not easy to find a decent place in such a huge imperial capital.

Houses in civilian areas are cheap, but they are too small and the environment is not good.

The houses near the imperial city are big enough, but even if you have money, you can't buy them, because usually no one is willing to sell them.

The two have money in their hands, and they are not in a hurry at all.They just looked at each other slowly.Just talk about love.

On this day, Ren Ning was looking at a five-entry house near the West Market, when suddenly someone came to him with a bronzing invitation.

"Ren Ning is the son, and Zhongfu will be held in three days. The Prince of Qin's mansion will hold a banquet of wine and food, and we are here to invite you. The emperor and empress are likely to attend at that time. Please be sure to honor it."

Ren Ning nodded and accepted, "Please report back to Prince Qin, Ren Ning will definitely arrive in three days."

After the sender of the invitation was far away, Yingpan surrounded him curiously, "King Qin seems to be the first prince to be crowned king. Do you know him?"

"I don't know." Ren Ning shook his head, "I only know the third prince among so many princes, and he hasn't been crowned king yet. I haven't seen the others."

Ren Ning was a little bit emotional.

In his former capacity, it was impossible to attend such a party.Unexpectedly, now that he is completely out of the family, he has the opportunity to participate.

Yingpan giggled, "It's interesting that the emperor and the empress will come to attend. I guess it's not easy for the emperor to receive you for the time being, so let's hold a banquet outside the palace to meet in private."

"Wine and food meeting, you know it's eating, drinking and drinking. What is Zhongfu?" The grassland girl asked if she didn't understand.

Ren Ning smiled, "Have you heard of the dog days?"

"I've heard." Yingpan nodded, "It's the dog days now."

"Three volts are divided into early volts, middle volts and last volts. There is a tradition in Yunchui. During the middle of the dog days, relatives and friends will gather together to eat mutton, drink rice wine and eat lychees to drive away the heat, poison and bad breath in the body." Ren Ning said, "This is The banquet of wine and food mentioned in the invitation."

Yingpan understood, she curled her lips.

"The dog days lasted for more than a month, and there were ten or so days during the dog days. I think this wine and food meeting is just a random reason to get together to eat, drink and have fun."

"Indeed." Ren Ning laughed loudly, "Nobles, they don't have to worry about food and clothing. They just want to eat, drink and have fun when they have nothing to do all day long."

He glanced to the southwest, "If nothing major happened to Yunchui, for example, there was no epidemic in Yunzhong County, the gatherings and banquets among the nobles in the imperial capital would be a small one every three days, or a big one every ten days. There are too many to count .”

"What a waste! There are still many people out there who can't eat enough..." Yingpan muttered a few times.She opened her eyes wide: "may I go with you?"

"Wangfu, it should be very majestic. I haven't been there yet when I grow up so big."

Ren Ning shook his head regretfully, "If we get married, we should be able to bring you in. I'm afraid not now."

whee!

Yingpan was not disappointed, "Then after you become a general, I will become the general's wife. Remember to take me to play then."

Three days later, Ren Ning entered the Qin Palace as promised.

Looking at the situation in front of him, he vaguely understood something.
