Chapter 42: Gone
But it was because he was so good to himself that he let his thoughts sink deeper and deeper, and now I am afraid that I can't pull out anything. Rong Xia thought: Even if the two can't become husband and wife, let's become a good master and servant, she stays by his side as a maidservant, watches him, takes care of him, and repays him.
This is already satisfying for Rong Xia.
Because of receiving a letter from her parents, Rong Xia maintained a very happy mood for a whole day. took the basket of lion snails and small white shrimp into the kitchen, Rong Xia put on his own special pink floral apron, his sleeves were half gone, and began to cook. Spicy fried lion snails, small drunken shrimp, yam clam soup, plus a serving of oil splashed with three fresh carp, after thinking about it, Rong Xia made a plate of minced meat and rape and vegetarian cucumber. Today is a single day, I don't know since when, Pei Jinzhi has developed the habit of coming to Luzhuxuan to eat on a single day. So, unconsciously, Rong Xia also remembered every single day very clearly.
Today is no exception, stepping on the sunset, Pei Jinzhi came to Luzhuxuan.
At the end of the path in the bamboo forest, there was a figure waiting for him early.
It was a goose-yellow, very slender figure, and the wind blew over and lifted the embroidered hair on her forehead, revealing her white and greasy, cute little face. And by this time, a gentle smile had already crept up on that little face. Pei Jinzhi's originally unhurried pace unconsciously sped up.
"Young Master......" Rong Xia tilted his head and smiled very happily.
"Why are you so happy today?" Pei Jinzhi scratched her little nose.
Rong Xia pursed her lips and said a little shyly: "I am naturally happy to receive the letter from my mother." ”
"Oh, how is the second elder doing in Jinling?" said the two as they walked towards the bamboo building.
"Okay, young master, let me tell you............" The soft but happy voice faded away with the evening breeze, and the picture of the two walking together was indescribably pleasing to the eye.
The fourth day of the fifth month is Qiao Gelao's fifty-seventh birthday, and early in the morning, Qiao Sulan got up early, put on the most gorgeous dress, painted the most exquisite makeup, brought the heavy gifts that had been prepared a long time ago, and returned home with her husband. On the racecourse, Pei Jinzhi raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, Qiao Sulan seemed to have something on her mind, the whole person was in a trance, bowing her head for a while and pondering, and being stunned for a while.
"Do you have something on your mind?" asked Pei Jinzhi in a faint voice.
Qiao Sulan came back to her senses, with a trembling expression on her face, and covered up: "No, the concubine just didn't sleep well last night." ”
Pei Jinzhi glanced at her lightly, hummed, and didn't speak again.
Qiao Sulan's heart was like thunder, and she picked her fingers a few times, and finally suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart.
The carriage drove all the way towards Qiao's mansion, and at this time, Rong Xia, who stayed in [Green Bamboo Xuan], was about to encounter an unwarranted disaster.
"Stunning beauty, is it still in our house?" the second old man swayed his feet, lying on a large rocking chair, with a hookah in his hand, and was leisurely turning the clouds and spitting out fog. Standing next to him, with a sneering face, is the first dog leg next to him, his name is called: Yellow Dog.
"Dog, all the beauties in our house who can be called are staying in the backyard of the master, why don't you know when there will be a stunning beauty?" The second master spit out the smoke ring fiercely, obviously not believing.
"Master, it's true! The villain has seen it with his own eyes!" Huang Gouzi immediately described it vividly: "That face, that waist, is simply the beauty of sinking fish and geese, the appearance of the moon and the shy flowers, it is simply beautiful, and the most important thing is that the woman has a style that others do not have, especially Chu Chu is pitiful, but whenever a man looks at her, most of the bones will be crispy, she is really a goblin among goblins!"
The yellow dog described it too hooked, and the second master couldn't help but feel lustful. I just heard him say, "Which one is in the house?"
"[Green Bamboo Xuan] is a girl called Rong Xia"
"Green Bamboo Xuan?" Second Master Pei's expression changed, not cautiously afraid, but a kind of excitement eager to try. He slammed down the cigarette gun in his hand, leaned over and said in a low voice in front of the yellow dog: "It's the girl who specializes in growing vegetables and fish for Pei Jinzhi, and has the face of the crown princess?"
"Yes! It's her!" Huang Gouzi said with a smile: "Not only does the crown princess think about her, but even the second young master is very fond of her baby! But then again, it's just a girl after all, master, you are the father of the second young master, ask him for a girl, forgive him and dare not give it." ”
"Hmph, if that's the case, the second master is really curious, what kind of goods can make that little cub fall in love?"
As long as Pei Jinzhi can block his heart and make trouble for him, look at his face that is always high above and despise everyone, as long as he thinks about it a little, it will make the second master's heart flutter! Not to mention that it is just a girl as the yellow dog said. It's really a concubine, so what, if she touches her body, as long as she is verbally intimidated, she doesn't dare to say it.
Thinking like this, the second master immediately rose to the edge of his heart, and said loudly: "You go, go to Luzhuxuan, and bring that girl to the master!"
"Master, there is a saying in ancient times, called stealing incense and stealing jade, why don't you follow suit and go over there yourself, if that girl inherits your eyes, you will suffer from her once, and it will be considered the good name of stealing incense!"
The second master has always liked to do something to hook up with the little widow and climb the wall of other people's houses, and when he heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he nodded and praised with a smile: "It's still a dog, you know the master's heart best, come--lead the way!"
"Okay!" the yellow dog nodded and led the second master all the way out.
This is Rong Xia's second time seeing Pei Jinzhi's father after many years. When he met for the first time, he gave himself a kick and let her lie in bed for more than half a month to recuperate from her injuries, and that meeting left an extremely deep impression on Rong Xia, ruthless, violent, and different from normal people, this is all Rong Xia's impression of Pei Lao Erye. And this time, looking at Second Master Pei who came out of nowhere, Rong Xia added another sentence in his heart, his eyes were obscene and obscene, full of disgusting *.
Rong Xia frowned, his face turned pale, and he bowed to him extremely reluctantly.
At this time, the two of them were standing in the small kitchen of Luzhuxuan.
More precisely, when Rong Xia was making pastries, Second Master Pei suddenly broke in.
"Beauty! tsk...... Sure enough, it's a beautiful little beauty, I can't complain that Pei Jinzhi's kid hid you so strictly!
Rong Xia, with the most basic sensitivity of a girl, realized his ill intentions almost instantly.
She pursed the corners of her lips, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, but her voice was extraordinarily calm and calm: "Is there something wrong with the second master?"
"Little beauty, put down the things in your hands, that is not something that your white greasy little hands should hold, come to me, as long as you serve this master well, there will be countless glory and wealth waiting for you in the future. "For the second master Pei, a veteran of Fengyue, Rong Xia's composure is like the dew on the leaves, which is so obvious.
Of course, this tone is also more to his taste, and the more he resists, the more he plays!
"Second master, I respect you as the young master's father, please keep your mouth clean, don't get an inch in again!" Rong Xia raised the kitchen knife in his hand and shouted: "Get out! Get out of here immediately!"
"Hahaha...... It's good, it's delicious. But sir, I also tell you, you have to obey and never obey today!" The second master is indeed mixed, but he has practiced kung fu for a few days, how can a weak woman in Rong Xia beat him, and the kitchen knife in his hand was removed after three strokes and five divisions.
The person was also forcibly pulled into the arms of the second master.
There has never been a moment when Rong Xia was so panicked, so disgusting, when the foul-smelling lips were about to kiss him, Rong Xia couldn't hold back in the end, and urgently recited in his heart, "Space." ”
So, in front of the eyes of the second master, a good living person suddenly disappeared.
The second master is stupid. After the stupidity, a great panic hit his heart, and he screamed "Oh the hell!
The whole face of the frightened was distorted.
[Lingjing Space] Li Rong Xia leaned on a bag of red bean noodles, kept shaking, big tears rolled down her cheeks, she was very scared and frightened, but she didn't dare to cry out loud, as if she was afraid that her cry would attract the wicked person again, she shrank back and blocked her mouth with her small fist.

Joe's House.
On the birthday banquet, Pei Jinzhi, as the son-in-law of Qiao Mansion, wants to follow Qiao Ge Lao and the guests to "drink and talk" This is an excellent occasion to expand his contacts, Qiao Ge Lao has always loved him, and he spared no effort to carry him, when it was lively, He An didn't know where to run over, his face had an unconcealable anxiety, and he gestured to his own young master not far away.
Pei Jinzhi's eyes coveted, his heart suddenly sank, and he used an excuse to get out.
Seeing that he was alone, He An ran all the way over, and said something quickly in his ear.
Pei Jinzhi suddenly changed color, and without saying a word, he walked towards the gate, but he stopped after just two steps, took a deep breath, and he invited He An to whisper a few words, He An nodded, and went all the way to the backyard wing.
"Madame committed a summer illness, and just now she actually fainted, and the second master had to go back in advance, young lady, do you also go back with you?" He An asked very respectfully.
"Your mother-in-law is sick, then go back quickly!" Mrs. Qiao pushed her daughter's hand, and hurriedly said, "Although she is not your father's mother-in-law, she can stand as a stepmother, and you can't be lazy." ”
"Yes, my daughter knows!" Qiao Sulan nodded, and without saying anything more, she followed He'an and walked out. Who would have thought that in just such a moment, Pei Jinzhi had already ridden away, and Qiao Sulan could only take the maidservant to drive by He An, all the way to the Hou Mansion
“。
She was very worried in her heart, and she always had a bad premonition.
Looking at Wang Dazhuang and He An's family who were kneeling on the ground, Pei Jinzhi just wanted to kill someone.
"Ah Xia said that today I want to make the lotus seed porridge that the young master likes, but the lotus seeds in the kitchen are not enough, and the slave and maid planted a large piece of lotus flowers on the side of the Linbo Pavilion, there should be a lot of lotus flowers, so I took the basket to pick some, the slave and maid feet are fast, and it is only a quarter of an hour to go back and forth, but when I came back, I saw the second master rolling out of the kitchen with a frightened face, and shouted again and again: Ghosts, there are ghosts! The slave maid was shocked, and hurriedly went in to take a look, only to find that there was nothing in the kitchen, even Axia, who was supposed to be inside, was gone!"
"The little one has been taking care of the vegetable patch all day long, and the little one didn't take good care of Miss Axia, and the little one deserves death. ”
"You don't have to die, if Ah Xia makes any mistakes, it will be enough for the two of you to die only once. Pei Jinzhi's voice was full of coldness, but a dark light flashed deeply in the light eyes that came in both directions.
It was bitter hatred and resolute coldness.
Ah Xia is gone, a good big living person is gone, not only that, the second master who intends to □□ was also scared out of a serious illness, only a few hours, he lay on the bed and burned over, the doctor came to say that his body was already weak, and he was suddenly frightened, and the soul was restless. The old lady Shen came over to see it in a hurry, and asked repeatedly: What was the second master frightened, but he was fooled by the Zhao family and Pei Jinzhi.
In [Cangmu Zhai], Qiao Sulan was uneasy. As soon as she returned home, she knew that there was nothing to do with the Zhao family, and she was completely tricked back by her husband, what could make him come back in such a hurry? That simple answer was actually already in Qiao Sulan's heart.
"How's it going?" Qiao Sulan stood up and asked with a frown and a nervous expression.
Jiang Pei shook his head and whispered: "Over there in Luzhuxuan, you can't see it from the outside, but it's already martial law inside, and you can't inquire about anything, but the second master must have fallen for us, but I don't know, did I get it?"
Qiao Sulan turned around anxiously a few times, but still asked uneasily, "Are you sure you won't implicate us?"
"No, don't worry, madam. Jiang Pei knew that Qiao Sulan wanted to listen to some reassuring words now: "Let's just let the two mothers-in-law with broken mouths pretend to praise the beauty of that girl under the eaves of the porch unintentionally, it is the yellow dog himself who wants to go on the pole to flatter the second master, and it has nothing to do with us." ”
Qiao Sulan felt that what Jiang Pei said was right, and her heart was finally not so anxious.
That night, Pei Jinzhi did not return to Cangmu Zhai, and Qiao Sulan opened her eyes until dawn.
