Chapter 73: Stewardship

For Rong Xia's mother and son, the festive and busy full moon banquet has finally ended, and for Qiao Sulan, the root full moon banquet is undoubtedly full of pain and shame. She swore in her heart that one day, she would let Rong Xia's cheap maid and the two evil seeds she gave birth to disappear from this world forever.

In the evening of this day, Pei Jinzhi and Rong Xia were dining. There are four dishes in total, sweet and sour carp, stir-fried mushrooms, braised pork ribs and cabbage with minced meat, the main dish is fragrant white rice, and there is also a seaweed egg drop soup to take.

Bao'er has long been able to cook by herself, and she has her own special small rice bowl, a small rice spoon, which is very beautiful mahogany and even has a silly little yellow chicken painted on it.

Nesheng was lying in the shaker next to him, sleeping comfortably at this time.

Rong Xia carefully peeled the fish bones in the plate with chopsticks, making sure that the fish meat under the chopsticks was complete|" clean", Rong Xia gently picked up the fish, dipped it in the bright red soup on the plate, and finally put it in Bao'er's small bowl. Bao'er is a child who likes to eat fish, but she is not very good at picking fish bones by herself, and she needs her mother's help every time.

Pei Jinzhi looked at Rong Xia, who was busy and had barely touched his chopsticks, and couldn't help but say: "Okay, don't be busy, just let someone do it after picking fish bones!"

"It's okay!" Rong Xia shook his head: "I don't like to eat when there is a person standing next to me!"

Pei Jinzhi knew that there were some things, and Rong Xia always liked to do it himself. For example, she will cook and prepare dinner every day as long as there are no special circumstances, for example, she sews out her and her underwear by stitches. Rather than waiting for others to serve, Rong Xia is a person who is willing to do it himself. Just when Pei Jinzhi's thoughts diverged, a piece of snow-white thick fish meat was also placed in the bowl in front of him.

"Young master, eat more!"

Pei Jinzhi hummed, and then moved his chopsticks to put the fish meat into his mouth, sweet and sour, soft, melted in his mouth and did not have a single burr.

Sure enough, it's very good!!

Just when the family was having a warm meal, Jin Hua walked in from outside and saluted: "Master, Madame has sent someone here!"

Rong Xia was stunned, since Qiao Sulan came, the two of them have always maintained the principle that the well water does not violate the river water, Rong Xia is quiet, never pampered and arrogant and takes the initiative to provoke, Qiao Sulan is also completely in the mansion There is no such person, and the two of them are really calm.

"Let people in. It was Pei Jinzhi who spoke.

After a while, sure enough, a girl wearing a blue-green silk dress walked in, this girl looked quite unfamiliar, it should have been bought by Qiao Sulan in Jingzhou.

"The slaves say hello to the master, and to Aunt Rong. "The girl fell to her knees and kowtowed.5./books/0/505/

Concubines are innocent.

"Get up, what do you have to say, Madame?"

"Master, Mrs. asked the slave maid to come, because she wanted to invite the master to have dinner and go to the East Courtyard, and Mrs. wanted to discuss with the master about something. ”

Pei Jinzhi didn't put down his chopsticks, but said lightly: "I know, you go back and tell Madame, I'll go over when I'm done!!" The girl said yes, kowtowed a little nervously, and then stood up and retreated.

Bao'er's little face was buried in the rice bowl, but her big eyes were boneless, looking at her mother for a while and her father for a while, until Rong Xia glanced at her, and then she obediently used her meal.

"I'll go over and take a look, and I'll be back in a while!~" Pei Jinzhi said.

Rong Xia tidied up the hem of his clothes and smiled and hummed.

When Pei Jinzhi arrived in the East Courtyard, it was already completely dark.

Qiao Sulan sat on the kang and looked at her daughter who was leaning over the seat to draw patterns with a kind face.

"Xianggong is here!" Qiao Sulan saw Pei Jinzhi walk in, a smile appeared on her face for a moment, and she hurriedly got out of bed to serve Pei Jinzhi. Pei Jinzhi waved his hand lightly, and walked to Sister Jiao'er's side.

Although she knew that this was her father, but because the two had not seen each other much since they were born, Sister Jiao was undoubtedly very unfamiliar with Pei Jinzhi, and when she saw him come to her side, Sister Jiao shrank down in fear, with a vigilant expression on her face.

Pei Jinzhi's hand, which was about to be stretched out, was put down again.

"Sister Jiao'er is stunned, what are you doing, call your father! Don't you miss your father the most, and you want to see your father every day?" Sister Jiao blinked timidly, not only did she not call anyone, but she also shrank back.

"It's okay!" Pei Jinzhi waved his hand at Qiao Sulan. I lifted the hem and went straight to the edge of the bed. He eased his expression, and began to ask Sister Jiao with concern in a very soft tone, how much she can eat in a meal, how many words she usually likes to do. The little things were all asked gently, and when Sister Jiao saw that his words were gentle, she couldn't help but let go of the guard in her heart, and sometimes she would answer in a whisper.

Qiao Sulan stood next to him and looked at this qiē, feeling that Pei Jinzhi still had the two of them in it, and couldn't help but have a seven or eight point grasp of what she was going to say next. After talking to Sister Jiao about her son, and letting the father and daughter get along better, Qiao Sulan asked someone to hug the child.

"You asked someone to invite me over, do you have something to say?" asked Pei Jinzhi.

If the concubine doesn't take the initiative to send someone to invite, I'm afraid I won't think of coming to my side. Qiao Sulan showed a sad expression.

Pei Jinzhi looked at her lightly, his eyes were not sad or happy.

Qiao Sulan only felt a burst of blockage in her heart when she saw it, and forced herself to suppress the injustice and indignation in her heart, she said: "Our husband and wife have been separated for all these years, and they all rely on Sister Rong to serve by my father's side, and I am also full of gratitude in my heart. It's just that now that I'm here, as a housewife, some rules have to be set up, and the province will let outsiders chew the root of the tongue, which will ruin the master's first life!" Qiao Sulan stopped slightly when she said this, and looked at Pei Jinzhi's face; seeing that he didn't seem to be disgusted, she suddenly felt happy in her heart and continued: "As the wife of the master, I should share the worries of the master, and in the future, the affairs in the back house will be handed over to the personal management!"

Looking at Qiao Sulan's gaze full of eager anticipation, Pei Jinzhi put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly: "Yes!"

Qiao Sulan's eyes lit up in an instant, almost comparable to the sun of the Tianshan Mountains.

"The concubine will definitely not live up to her lord's expectations, and will manage the back house properly!" Qiao Sulan blushed, trembling with excitement.

Pei Jinzhi looked at her, and then said slowly: "I hope you can do what you say!"

After speaking, Pei Jinzhi got up and left.

Qiao Sulan knew where he was going, but this time, Qiao Sulan didn't have any jealousy in her heart, but imagined that when Rong Xia's knew that the stewardship in her hand was about to "return to the original owner", she would be very unwilling and angry.5./books/0/506/

Princess Sickness!

But this is the reality, I am a wife, and you are a concubine.

One is the clouds in the sky, and the other is the mud in the ground.

Even if the master is tempted for a while, he is his wife after all, and he is the rightful hostess of Pei Mansion.

…………………………

Rong Xia held a rattle in her hand, she shook it to the left, Gensheng in the shaker tilted his head to the left, she shook it to the right, and Xiao Gensheng's head was tilted to the right. Konei is now able to accurately capture the direction of sound with his ears, and his gaze can move back and forth with the designated target.

This is really impressive progress.

Rong Xia was lying on the side of the shaking bed teasing her little son, but Bao'er was lying on the bed looking at her comic strips. These comic strips are all made by Pei Jinzhi, there are words, there are stories, and I especially like to read them when I have nothing to do.

"Daddy!" Bao'er looked up and saw her father standing at the door, and immediately showed a smile and screamed.

"The young master is back. Rong Xia also saw Pei Jinzhi, and immediately put the rattle in his hand into the shaker and walked towards him.

Pei Jinzhi's gaze swept over Bao'er and the shaker, and finally landed on Rong Xia's gentle smiling face, and his heart suddenly softened.

That feeling is called warmth.

Dead.

In the green gauze tent, Pei Jinzhi briefly told Rong Xia what Qiao Sulan had just proposed.

"That's as it should be. "Rong Xia didn't have the intention of [fighting for power and profit], so he was very happy to agree at this time.

"I have placed a few properties outside for you, and there are thousands of taels of silver in a year...... | Pei Jinzhi was silent for a moment, and then sighed and said, "Axia, I wronged you after all!"

Rong Xia put the trouble on his shoulder and neck, rubbed it slightly when he heard the words, and said in a small voice, "I'm not wronged!" The road was chosen by herself, Rong Xia knew that this kind of thing would happen sooner or later, so she didn't feel wronged.

Looking at such a well-behaved and sensible Axia, Pei Jinzhi was slightly nervous, and he explained in a somewhat impatient whisper: "She has not lost her son for a long time, and I will have to bear some responsibility for this matter after all, so I ......"

"Young Master really doesn't need to say it, I know, I know everything!" Rong Xia sighed softly.

In fact, she has always known that for the child who died early, Pei Jinzhi has always cared about it in her heart. Feeling the warm and slender body in his arms, Pei Jinzhi hugged her arm and couldn't help but tighten it tighter.

The next day, Rong Xia had just fed Xiao Gensheng here.

Someone from outside came to say that he had come to collect the accounts and keys of the mansion on the orders of his wife.

Rong Xia prepared the book, the cards, the keys and other things, and when the person came, he was very happy to explain it.

"She wasn't unwilling?" Listening to the subordinates' instructions, Qiao Sulan showed a smug face.

Aunt Rong handed over the things very happily. The girl who returned obviously did not understand the master's intentions, and answered very honestly.

It's just a joy on my face, and I don't know how to hate me in my heart!

Qiao Sulan raised her chin and sneered.
