The Ren family started out by leasing coal mines and operating coal kilns, and has settled in Youzhou, Yanbei for generations.

During the decades when the sixteen prefectures of Youyan were trampled by the iron cavalry of the Liao people, the Ren family did not leave this land and move southward with the imperial court even though the family property was scattered and the tribe withered.

Later, Xiao Qishan, the fourth King of Yanbei, did not lose the reputation of his ancestors, and led a group of cadres to recover the sixteen prefectures of Youyan.

At this time when all things were left to be done, Bao Ming, the director of the Ren family at that time, took out three gold bars that his wife hid under the toilet compartment, and regardless of the objections of his family, he bought several unused properties in Xishan outside Yunyang City, Youzhou. The barren hills of the Lord.

Xu Zhen's family has come a long way. This West Mountain is actually a treasure land for producing coal. The coal dug out of the four or five hills bought by the Ren family is particularly high-quality. The annual output can not only supply the entire Youzhou area, but also transport it to surrounding states. .

In addition, the head of the Ren family is good at drilling camps, but within a few years, the Ren family's coal warehouses have been opened all over Yanbei.

The rich and the rich, the Ren family has since called itself the rich family of Yanbei.

After the initial determination of Yanbei, there were not many wealthy families that sprung up in the Yanbei area overnight.

In addition to guarding Yanbei for generations and actually being the uncrowned king of Yanbei, some old northern aristocratic families who moved north after the war, such as the Yun family, and the Su family who emerged as celebrities following the Yanbei King in the Northern Expedition, and The Ren family and others who have made a fortune by relying on various means of luck.

The old and new aristocrats are not convinced by each other. The upstarts can't understand the old aristocrats who are obviously poor and want to fight back.

It wasn't until King Yanbei reconciled, and the leaders of the two factions, the Yun family and the Su family, first made peace, that the situation in Yanbei was truly stabilized.

Over the past few decades, although there were occasional disputes between the new faction and the old faction, most of them have been able to coexist peacefully under the strong pressure of the Yanbei Palace, and many of them have married sons and daughters.

The wife of the current head of the Ren family, Yonghe, was born in the Qiu family of Jizhou. Although the Qiu family's father was not a descendant of the Qiu family, he adopted Qiu's elder brother because the head of the Qiu family had no children. The head of the Qiu family is actually the elder brother of the old lady Ren Qiu, and because of this relationship, the Qiu family has become more and more straight in the Ren family. After all, although the Ren family could barely join the Yanbei noble family due to fate, compared to the old aristocratic families like the Yun family and the Qiu family, they still lacked confidence after all.

The main residence of the Ren family is located in Baihe Town at the southern foot of the West Mountain, more than 90 miles outside Yunyang City. Although Baihe Town is not as prosperous as Yunyang City, the first city in Yanbei, it is prosperous because it is located on the north-south transportation fortress. It has always been a battleground for military strategists.

The Ren family's house occupies a very large area, with carved beams and painted buildings, and the beauty of pavilions and pavilions is no less than that of Nandu gardens.

It is said that this place used to be the ancestral house of a famous family. Because the family moved to the south, the house was sold at a low price. Later, it was bought by the head of the Ren family and moved in after some repairs.

Ren Yaoqi has lived here since she was born. Before she left Ren's house at the age of sixteen, she seldom left this place, which was infested with decaying silverfish and ants, but was magnificently repaired by tiles and painted walls.

After recovering from her illness, Ren Yaoqi walked out of the Ziwei courtyard for the first time, and when she walked under the Jiuqu corridor and looked at the mansion again, she was in a different mood.

In all fairness, her great-grandfather, the previous head of the Ren family, had some foresight when purchasing the mansion. Leaving aside the exquisite house, the feng shui of the whole mansion is excellent.

It is higher in the southeast than in the northwest, backed by the West Mountain, and with the Xiaobai River in front, which is the "force of heaven and earth" pursued by Feng Shui Kanyu. And because of the long-distance and undulating winding of the West Mountain, it becomes the source of "vigor" of the mansion, making the whole mansion a place to store wind and gather energy.

The pavilions are like clouds, the houses are high and low, well arranged, and the avenues and paths echo in all directions. The Ronghua Garden where the owner lives is even more centrally located, with a layout resembling a Tai Chi yin and yang fish picture. There are eight courtyards in total, including the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, forming a pattern of gossip.

If the land is good, the seedlings will prosper, and if the house is auspicious, the people will be prosperous.

The person who built this mansion at the beginning must be an incomparable master of geomancy.

It's just that such a mansion can be lived in even if it is a residence of dragons and phoenixes. Although the Ren family can temporarily borrow its fortune, it will not be able to suppress its nobility after a long time. I am afraid that it will be backlashed by its fortune .

It's no wonder that a few years after she left the Ren family, she heard people talk about the decline of the Ren family, and the house changed hands again.

As for where the other people living in this house went, she was no longer interested in asking.

Passing through the tall wall-mounted door decorated with glazed tiles and piers in the Ronghua Courtyard, the first thing that catches the eye is the giant Lingbi stone placed in the shallow pool in the center of the courtyard. Because the stone looks like a mountain, it is named "Cangshan Xiong". squat".

It is said that this stone was transported all the way back from Anhui by Baoming, the former director of the Jiajia, at a huge expense, and it can be regarded as a wonder of Ren Zhai.

Bypassing Lingbi Stone is the three spacious flower halls of Ronghua Courtyard, which are closed on weekdays, and are only opened during New Year's festivals and banquets. When there are many guests, there are two cross-courtyards on both sides.

Passing through the hall is the vestibule of the main house of Ronghua Garden.

The old lady of the Ren family, Qiushi, has a quirk. She doesn't like flowers and trees, and dislikes those colorful things that attract insects and ants. Therefore, the whole courtyard can only see a piece of bluestone with neat joints, and only a little grass can be seen when a small grass suddenly pops up from the bottom of the wall in spring and summer. The housekeeper who swept the yard was uprooted.

It had snowed heavily for two days and then cleared up. Before the snow bloomed, it was blown into hard ice by the north wind. Ren Yaoqi walked along the corridor or on the ground covered with cotton lichen.

The courtyard of Ronghua Garden is clean without any trace of ice or snow. It has been cleaned so long ago that only the unchanging bluestone ground can be seen.

At this time, two 12- and 13-year-old girls were kneeling on the bluestone floor in the front courtyard of the main house.

They were dressed in the indigo winter clothes of the second-class servant girl of the Ren Mansion, kneeling upright and pious with their foreheads on the ground, but their bodies were fighting like the few dead leaves hanging on the branches, and they didn't know whether they were frozen or scared.

Ren Yaoqi walked past them and could still hear the sound of them sucking their snot when stepping on the pedal attached to the main room platform.

"It's Fang'er and Hui'er who are serving by Miss Ba." Qing Mei, who was one step behind, took a look at the two of them, hurriedly caught up with the first two steps, and pretended to be mysterious and half-covered her mouth to report in Ren Yaoqi's ear, it was not unpleasant With the excitement of having a good show to watch.

Ren Yaoqi turned a deaf ear to it, standing outside the curtain and waiting for the women to report inside.

The rules of the Ren family are very strict, especially the Ronghua Courtyard of Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Ren. If there is no answer, you cannot enter the main room. On the day Mrs. Li came back, she knelt on the porch for more than an hour because Mrs. Ren didn't give an order to let her in.

Fortunately, the old lady didn't want to torment Ren Yaoqi today, the woman at the door quickly opened the curtain for Ren Yaoqi: "Miss Fifth, please."

The warm wind in the room was blowing in, Ren Yaoqi walked in.

The main building of Ronghua Court faces south and has five rooms, the middle one is the Ming Hall, but it is empty at this time, only two maidservants stand in front of the carved moon cave door in the second room on the right.

Seeing Ren Yaoqi coming in, the two servant girls bowed their knees and saluted, and opened the brocade curtain with the pattern of blessing, and there was a slight sound from the room on the right, mixed with the smell of a baked box.

It's almost time for the old man and the old lady to have breakfast.

The younger generations of the Ren family had to eat on an empty stomach when they came to greet An, and they could go back to the yard to eat after serving the elders and finishing their dinner.

When Ren Yaoqi entered, she saw the eldest wife, Mrs. Wang, and her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhao, setting up the kang tables.

A dozen kinds of breakfast food, large and small, were placed on a big kang against the north wall, and a few maids stood aside with barely opened food boxes.

Elder Master Ren Shizhong led his son and nephews to sit on the nanmu chairs on the east and west sides, the third lady Ren Yaohua, the fourth lady Ren Yaoyin, and the ninth lady Ren Yaoying stood under the south window.

Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi lived in the same yard, but they never entered or left the same courtyard when they came to Ronghua Academy to pay their respects. When Ren Yaohua was in Ren's house before, she lived in the warm pavilion in the east of Ronghua Courtyard for half of each month, and when she lived in Ziwei Courtyard, she also came earlier than her every day.

Ren Yaoqi scanned the room and bowed her head to salute the elders.

The eldest lady turned her head to look at her and said with a smile: "Fifth girl is healthy? The old lady also said yesterday that she wants you to rest for a few more days, so you don't need to come here in a hurry."

Ren Yaoqi lowered her head and said, "It's all healed, and it's not justified if I can't hide."

The eldest wife smiled and nodded: "Good boy. Don't forget your Auntie Fang's contribution to your recovery so quickly. Although the eldest aunt is in charge of the family, it is all due to your doctor's consultation and medicine this time." Your aunt is making trouble."

Ren Yaoqi glanced at the eldest wife, smiled, and bowed her head in a yes.

Mrs. Wang's reputation in the Ren family is not bad, she handles things fairly, and rewards and punishments are clear.

Take care of what should be taken care of, and turn a blind eye to what should not be taken care of.

She doesn't take the credit, so naturally she doesn't have to bear the responsibility.

After Ren Yaoqi finished greeting the eldest wife, she went to the south window and stood with Ren Yaohua and the others, bowed her knees and saluted the third lady Ren Yaohua and the fourth lady Ren Yaoyin who were older than her.

Ren Yaohua turned a blind eye to her as always, but Fourth Miss Ren Yaoyin smiled kindly at her and returned the gift. Ninth Miss Ren Yaoying, who was younger than her, curled her lips, and reluctantly saluted her hastily. Ren Yaoqi only nodded, and stood beside Ren Yaoyin.
