Chapter 35: The Promise

"Oh, why am I angry with you?" Pei Jinzhi asked rhetorically.

"Because, because I did something wrong?" the little girl lowered her head uneasily, and her two white index fingers unconsciously stirred together, twisting and twisting. But Pei Jinzhi just knew that she didn't realize what she was wrong at all.

"You sit!" Pei Jinzhi pointed to the stone bench opposite.

Rong Xia hesitated, but still sat down as he said.

There was silence in the Linbo Pavilion, only the frangipani flowers on the table swayed slightly in the wind.

"Am I good to you?" asked Pei Jinzhi after a while.

Rong Xia stood up and nodded his little head very hard: "Okay, the young master is good to Axia!" Whether a person is sincere or not, he can feel it, from the beginning, Pei Jinzhi did not treat her as a person, he was very kind to her, and Rong Xia could feel that he was good to him.

"Since I'm good to you, why did Ah Xia leave his mind?" Pei Jinzhi looked directly into Rong Xia's eyes, and his voice unconsciously carried three points of majesty.

Rong Xia was stunned for a moment, but a thousand feelings flashed in his heart.

Because I like you, because I am too delusional, because I am close, my heart will hurt more and more, and I can't forget you. But can Rong Xia tell him?

There were cold tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes, and Rong Xia was sad and ashamed, crying silently.

This time, Pei Jinzhi didn't say anything to comfort him, he just watched quietly, insisting on an answer

So Rong Xia gave him an answer.

"I'm scared...... Rong Xia said in a hoarse voice, "I've been scared since Sister Bisi was sold. I was also scared when I was crushed to the ground and punished for kneeling...... The young master is good to me now, but if I make the young master angry one day, will the young master also sell me...... Asha was scared. "Here she is just a slave maid, a slave who does not even have basic personal security, a slave who can be killed and bought and sold at will, how can she not be afraid?

Pei Jinyi's brows furrowed more and more, he didn't expect Rong Xia to do this.

The little girl in front of her was crying very pitifully, chubby tears slipped down her pink cheeks, and her slender body twitched one by one, and it could be seen that she was really scared and really sad.

An almost audible sigh sounded from his lips, and Pei Jinzhi beckoned to Rong Xia: "Come here......"

Rong Xia sobbed, and then rubbed over like a snail.

The warm palm smeared Rong Xia's drooping cerebellum, Pei Jinzhi thought that it was really a doll made of water, how could it cry so easily?

"There won't be a next time!" Pei Jinzhi said lightly.

"Suspicious?" Rong Xia tilted his head slightly, looking at him inexplicably.

"The young master will protect you and won't let anyone hurt you again. Pei Jinzhi's voice was full of affirmation, and he asked softly, "Does Ah Xia believe in the young master?"

Rong Xia basically didn't hesitate: "Believe it!"

"Then stay with the young master, and don't leave again. ”

Rong Xia bit her lip, a hesitant look on her face.

"If Ah Xia promises me, I will return the identity deed of your parents to you in five years, and let them go out of the mansion to be good citizens?" Pei Jinzhi made a condition that Rong Xia could not refuse.

"Don't leave, don't leave!" Sure enough, Rong Xia agreed almost immediately, she was afraid that Pei Jinzhi would regret it, so she hurriedly said: "Ah Xia promised the young master." She was so happy that she almost didn't pay attention to what Pei Jinzhi said was to let Li Niangzi and Lao Rongtou leave after five years, and she didn't mention her at all. Pei Jinzhi smiled when he saw his tears, and the corners of his mouth were slightly outlined, but there was an elusive love in the depths of his eyes.

When Rong Xia told Pei Jinzhi about what he had promised to his mother, Li Niangzi thought about it in every possible way. She is different from a group of naΓ―ve little daughters who don't know the difficulties of the world, the master in the Hou Mansion is no longer easy to serve, but she is always carefree in terms of food and clothing, if she is let out, their family is just a flat-headed little people, no one to take care of them, and their livelihood is difficult! .

"It's good to go out...... old Rong Tou took two puffs of cigarettes, sighed and said: "It's better for a family of three to be together safely and securely than to be scared in the town." The two of us don't have a son, and when Ah Xia grows up in the future, he will choose a man to join him, and he will always inherit the incense of our old Rong family. ”

Not giving birth to a son to her husband has always been a problem in Mrs. Li's heart, at this time, Wen Yan's heart couldn't help but move, I felt that my husband's idea was good, they also had some savings on hand over the years, if the family of three was really let out, whether it was to go to the countryside to buy a field or do some small business, it was enough.

However, I'm only afraid.

Mrs. Li sighed, she always felt that the second young master was too good to her little girl, and she didn't boast about it, her family Axia is really beautiful, and she is still a little young, in another three or five years, maybe she is a girl who is so smart, can you let her go?

Mrs. Li was deeply worried.

Rong Xia still didn't know the troubles and sorrows of her parents, and she was full of eyes that she would be able to get out of the mansion with the deed in five years. In the following days, she felt relaxed physically and mentally, and even worked more diligently.

The snow-white muslin cloth was spread on the table, Rong Xia was holding a colored lime sheet in his left hand, and a wooden ruler in his right hand, he was tailoring, looking at the appearance of his drawing, he knew that this should be an adult man's clothes, that's right! Rong Xia was making underwear for Pei Jinzhi, and this kind of work was not the first time she had done it, anyway, I don't know when Pei Jinzhi's clothes, shoes and socks were all done by Rong Xia himself.

In the past, because Pei Jinzhi's body was very thin, in order to cover up, he often wore three or four layers of underwear under his coat, which was fine in winter, but it was difficult in summer. He loves cleanliness very much, so Rong Xia often makes his underwear box by box, which is also the biggest reason why her clothing level has improved by leaps and bounds. And after "food supplements" in recent years, Pei Jinzhi's body has obviously improved a lot, and his body has grown flesh, the most obvious point is that he can finally wear only one underwear (*^__^*).

Tracing, cutting, sewing, and spending a whole afternoon Rong Xia making underwear. It wasn't until the sun was about to go down that I cleaned up a little and went to the kitchen to make dinner, and when I had finished the meal, I went back to sewing and sewing, and finally sewed the clothes before going to bed. Picking up his clothes and looking left and right, Rong Xia became more satisfied the more he looked, and couldn't help squinting his eyes and smiling.

Just when he was quite happy, there was a knock on the door outside: "Xiao Xia is me!

But it was Jiuxiang's voice.

Rong Xia hurriedly folded the clothes in his hand and stuffed them into the wardrobe on the side.

When I opened the door, I saw the nine-spice girl with a flushed face and obvious excitement.

"What's the matter? Come here so late?" asked Rong Xia strangely.

Jiuxiang smiled, still holding an embroidered pillow in her arms: "I can't sleep, I'm looking for you to talk." ”

Rong Xia let people in, Jiuxiang took off her embroidered shoes and climbed into bed in two or two clicks, it seems that she is going to live here tonight.

"What's wrong, you seem to be very happy?" Rong Xia looked at her carefully, and suddenly pointed to a golden water lotus-shaped hairpin on Jiuxiang's head, and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!"

Jiuxiang proudly touched the top of her head, her face was full of morning glow, and she said: "What is beautiful, a hairpin is less than four taels, what a good thing." ”

Although Rong Xia was simple, she also saw her duplicity at this time, and after a little thought, she understood who gave Jiuxiang's hairpin.

"Brother He is so good to you!" Rong Xia leaned over and looked at the hairpin carefully, and sighed: "This costs a lot of money!"

Gold~ No matter which dynasty it is, it is so expensive.

Rong Xia's exclamation completely satisfied the vanity of the Jiuxiang girl, and began to take other people's little hands and said, and no matter what she said, Rong Xia would respond very seriously, or make a sound like "wow" or "really?", which is also the reason why Jiuxiang especially likes to talk to her, without it, Rong Xia is too popular. After a long time, the Jiuxiang girl suppressed her excitement slightly, pretended not to care, and said: "He An said, in the past few days, he has asked the young master for grace and wants to marry me." ”

Jiuxiang's age is one year older than He An, and she is not a dowry maid or anything like that by the master's side, and there is no hope for a future or something like that, so it is better to follow He An, which is better than casually rationing to that Xiao Si in the house.

Is Big Brother He eighteen?

This is the first thing that poured into Rong Xia's head, but then again, in the original world, because it was rural, girls and guys were married very early, and this world was a bit scary early, serving by the side of her in-laws at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and it was very common for daughters-in-law to preside over housework.

So, Rong Xia took Jiuxiang's hand very happily and said happily: "Sister Jiuxiang, congratulations!"

Jiuxiang glanced at her and said angrily: "You are a good girl, but you want to help me embroider my wedding dress!"

Rong Xia agreed.

The two talked about it until it was about to dawn, and then they fell asleep in a daze.

Sure enough, four or five days later, Rong Xia heard the news that Pei Jinzhi had approved the marriage of He An and Jiuxiang.

The next person is not as cumbersome and troublesome as the nobles, even ordinary small households are inferior, but they just stick a happy word on the window, and at most set the table. However, He An has served Pei Jinzhi since he was a child, and the two have a very friendly relationship, and Pei Jinzhi is also willing to give He An this face.

It was intended to let them have a good show.

As a result, the wedding was scheduled for three months later, and He An and the others also had plenty of time to prepare.
