Since morning, Ren Baqian had been instructing the two winged cavalry warriors to paste couplets and the word "fu" on the door. The empress was also watching excitedly from behind.
"A little more to the left … It's to the left … Do you know where the left is …?"
"Zixiao, what do you think?" Ren Baqian turned to look at the empress.
"Heaven lengthens the years, man lengthens the lifespan, and spring fills the universe with fortune … What a good poem! What are the next two lines? "the empress praised softly as she recited the couplets on both sides of the door.
"There's nothing below."
"Oh, it's a eunuch!" the empress said with slight regret.
Ren Baqian's expression suddenly became interesting. He wanted to laugh, but he thought that he would most likely be beaten up, so he held it in.
"The words look good, but there's no essence, qi, and spirit in it. It's low-quality! It's not even as good as your words that crawled out of nowhere! "the empress commented again.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty!" Ren Baqian looked up at them and said, "Put your hands down. Why are you still pressing them?"
"Oh!" They put their hands down and saw two clear palm prints on the couplets. They were completely imprinted on the inside of the door, and they were at least one centimeter deep …
Ren Baqian's mouth twitched as he chased them into the house. After entering the house, Papa Ren went out to check if the couplets were crooked. After a while, he came back with a complicated look on his face.
He looked at the two winged cavalry warriors as if they were livestock.
Every month, Ren Baqian's parents and Ren Wannian would receive the meat that Ren Baqian brought back from the other world. Compared to their hard work, the speed of their cultivation was considered very fast. Even compared to those who practiced martial arts in the military, their speed wasn't slow.
After a year, their strength had increased a lot.
Mama Ren didn't even pant when she carried 50 kilograms of rice upstairs.
However, looking at the deep palm prints on the door, he still felt that they were livestock.
In particular, they weren't made with a single slap. There wasn't any sound previously, and they were obviously directly pressed down, which was even more terrifying.
Even Papa Ren felt that if humans could become so terrifying, the world might really undergo great changes in the future.
Papa Ren took the time to chat with Ren Baqian during the day, but both of them felt the same. With the rapid advancement of technology and martial arts, no one knew what the world would become in the future.
Papa Ren wasn't too worried about himself. After all, these changes wouldn't happen overnight, and he was already old.
He was just a little worried about Ren Baqian and Ren Wannian's future.
"Don't worry about me. I have money and power. No matter what happens, I won't lose out!" Ren Baqian saw through his father's thoughts, waved his hand, and smiled.
"Rich and powerful?" Papa Ren scoffed. "How can you be considered rich and powerful with that little bit of money? In the eyes of the common people, it was fine, but in the eyes of the truly rich and powerful, it was nothing. In the past, it would at most be considered a humble family. "
"Father, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about the poor?"
"Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about the poor? Do you think ordinary people are poor? Ordinary people couldn't even be considered poor.
The commoners were also called the commoners, which corresponded to the landowning families.
Only those who had the prestige of a county could be called a soldier, and those who had the prestige of a county could only be called a squire or a commoner.
In the past, a prefecture was about the size of a province. A county was now an ordinary prefecture-level city.
To have enough prestige in an ordinary prefecture-level city and have a considerable say in a city, even if one wasn't the richest person in the city, it wasn't far off. How much was the richest man in a city worth? Let's not talk about anything else. Do you know about the Xiu Clan? It's at least 10 billion yuan. What's that little bit of money? Furthermore, you haven't even passed the third generation. Saying that you are from a humble family is already flattering you. "
Papa Ren's rebuke made Ren Baqian's face turn black. Following which, he looked puzzled and asked, "Is this what a humble family means?"
"Ignorant and incompetent thing, do you think you are from a humble family just because you don't wear warm clothes in winter?" Papa Ren rebuked Ren Baqian and was immediately in a good mood. It had been a long time since he established his prestige like this.
"Stop showing off what you have. Your father has been learning from you ever since and is now fascinated by classical culture. He studies it all day long. "Mama Ren stuck her head out from the kitchen and exposed Papa Ren.
"One is never too old to learn." Papa Ren didn't mind at all. At least he could still teach his son a lesson.
"Lady boss will be a member of the imperial family in the future, how can she be from a humble family?" The two winged cavalry warriors grinned.
"Lady boss? Imperial family? " Papa Ren opened his mouth and subconsciously looked at the empress. Seeing that she was calm and had no intention of refuting, he didn't know whether she heard it or not.
However, imperial family … Could this daughter-in-law be a relative of one of the higher-ups?
Papa Ren's mind spun and was immediately shocked.
He glanced at the empress again and felt that it was more likely. Based on the aura of this daughter-in-law, how could she be raised by an ordinary family … Furthermore, Ren Baqian's two subordinates were obviously not ordinary people. How could they be ordinary people who could directly leave four fingerprints on the security door?
Where did Ren Baqian get such subordinates from? Could he hire such subordinates with that little bit of money? Who was he trying to fool?
Where did these subordinates come from? It was terrifying to think about it.
Papa Ren's face first turned pale, then green, and finally black. He jumped up and walked into the house.
"What's wrong?" Ren Baqian was shocked when he saw his father's facial expression changing rapidly. Ren Baqian didn't know what was going through his father's mind.
"I'm going to eat a bottle of Six Flavor Rehmannia Pills to calm myself down!" Papa Ren said without looking back.
"Pfft!" Ren Baqian immediately spurted out his drink.
When Papa Ren came back, he didn't mention anything about the poor family anymore and acted as if nothing had happened. The moment he opened his mouth, he would talk about how wise the current leader was. When he closed his mouth, he would talk about how good the current development situation was and how it was all thanks to the leadership of the party.
It was only then that he realized what his father had imagined.
However, those two winged cavalry warriors weren't wrong. They were indeed from the imperial family, but it was different from what his father thought …
After thinking about it, Ren Baqian pulled his father aside and said, "Zixiao's identity is special. It's not what you think."
"Special? I understand, I understand. I can't tell you about this. Don't worry, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. How can I not understand? "Papa Ren had a look of understanding on his face. Then, he pondered deeply.
If Zixiao was only outstanding and had an outstanding family background, it would be fine.
However, since she had connections with the higher-ups, it would be troublesome. Could he still see her as his daughter-in-law? Was it really okay for her to be with his son?
Ren Baqian looked at his expression and was speechless. "You really don't understand. She has nothing to do with the higher-ups."
Papa Ren immediately understood. So it wasn't the higher-ups, but the next empress? Had the next empress already been decided?
"Alright, I know what you're up to. It's just that you … I can't interfere in your matters. Pay more attention. "Papa Ren shook his head.
Ren Baqian realized that if he didn't explain clearly, his father wouldn't understand.
However, could he explain the empress's identity? How? The empress of another world?
Forget it … Ren Baqian thought about it and decided not to explain. The more he explained, the worse it would be.
For the rest of the afternoon, his father didn't show any signs of abnormality. In fact, he didn't even mention anything about Mama Ren. He was the only one who was worried from time to time.
At around seven o 'clock in the evening, Ren Baqian dragged the empress and the two winged cavalry warriors downstairs. Ren Wannian followed them.
When they arrived downstairs, there were already two SUVs and a half-built truck waiting there. The truck was wrapped tightly with canvas.
"Brother, why are you being so secretive?" Ren Wannian looked at his brother, then at the two bears, and then at his sister-in-law. They were all wearing thin clothing and didn't feel cold at all in this minus 20 degrees Celsius weather.
He was the only one who was wrapped up tightly.
When he pulled down the zipper of the truck, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing in. He shivered and quickly pulled the zipper back.
"Let's set off the fireworks!" Ren Baqian called out and got into the truck.
The group drove for 20 minutes to the suburbs, found an empty space, and untied the canvas. Sure enough, the truck was loaded with all kinds of fireworks.
Not long after, the first firework bloomed in the sky. Then, more fireworks rose into the sky.
The empress looked up at the fireworks. The flickering light reflected on her face, and her face was full of serenity and gentleness.
Ren Baqian reached out and held the empress's hand tightly. The two of them stood shoulder to shoulder.
"Are you cold?" Ren Baqian asked softly as he looked at Ren Wannian and the two winged cavalry warriors who were happily setting off fireworks in the distance.
As long as the empress said that she was cold, he would be able to hug her justifiably.
"I'm not cold!"
"Oh, but I'm so cold. Your Majesty, please hug me!" Ren Baqian said with a smile and waited for the incoming kick. He was already mentally prepared for a close encounter with the snow.
However, the empress hugged him from behind, placed her chin on his shoulder, and asked softly, "Are you warm?"
"Very warm!" Ren Baqian smiled and held the empress's hands that were wrapped in front of him.
In the distance, two winged cavalry warriors inadvertently raised their heads and saw the empress and Ren Baqian. They then turned their heads away with a peaceful smile on their faces and happily set off fireworks.
