Chapter 63: Another Year
"What should we do?" Baizhi sat down in his chair, and the six gods crackled into tears.
"I was born as a person of the second master, and I am a ghost of the second master in death, no one wants to drive me away from the second master!"
"But the second master doesn't want us!" Baizhi said with a whimpering cry covering his face.
She is a person who has no opinions, the young grandmother pointed her out to the second master, Baizhi thought that she could follow this man for the rest of her life, who would have thought that this sure thing actually came to a 360-degree turn, she was really flustered for a while.
"No, the second master won't want us, it must be Rong Xia's sassy and goods who are in the way, she is afraid that we will rob the second master's favor, so she sows discord in the middle, and I don't know what tricks she used to make the second master deceived. ”
Baizhi's face is full of tears, she is now also a master of the six gods, unconsciously took Scarlet's words seriously, she couldn't help but have a hatred for Rong Xia who was far away, their status was humble, they were just maids in the room, which man didn't have a few people around him? I had to send them away! It is nice to say that they would rather be a poor wife than a rich concubine, but how can a big girl like them, who are accustomed to worry-free food and clothing, and whose hands do not touch the spring water, adapt to the kind of life where one half of the money is spent, whether they pull the plough and plough the land or sell along the street? What kind of good people can they find in such a remote small county town?
"So what should we do now?"
Scarlet gritted her teeth and stood up, and said in annoyance: "Cry, cry, cry, you know crying, it's such a waste!"
"What are you scolding me for, if you have the ability, you have a way to do it! Then He An's family has never liked you, if she asks her to find a husband for you, Xu Yes will find you a night incense, so that you can't hold your head up for the rest of your life!"
"She's dreaming!" Scarlet was furious, and after a moment of spontaneous temper, she walked to the door and looked out through the crack, and hatred flashed in her eyes: "That slut actually asked someone to lock the door, when you Scarlet Girl is a thief!"
Baizhi listened to the scarlet words, and his heart was even more uncomposed, and he even asked what to do.
"What can I do, I have to see the second master first and beg him to change his mind. ”
"But now that the second master has gotten off the yamen, he will go to Aunt Rong's side, we haven't even gone back, how can we meet?"
"If the second master doesn't come, won't you take the initiative to find him?" At that time, I went to the yamen to block the second master, you actually laughed at me secretly" Scarlet sneered: "The second master may have annoyed me, but at least he remembers that there is a person like me, as for you, the second master is afraid that he can't even remember what you look like!"
"What's the use of the second master remembering you, it's not the same as driving you away, what are you proud of here!"
"You-!" Scarlet's eyes turned red, and she looked at Baizhi's gaze and longed to eat her.
"Alright, alright, what's the use of you and me getting involved here now. Baizhi shed tears and said: "For today's plan, I want to think of a way to dispel the second master's thoughts!"
Scarlet frowned, revealing a gloomy expression, and a cold light flashed in her eyes from time to time, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Three days later.
"Sick?" asked Rong Xia in surprise.
"It's said that they are infected with the wind and cold, and these two people are sick together, which is strange enough!" Jiuxiang knocked on the melon seeds, with a sneer on her face. Obviously disbelieving.
"The two of them don't want to marry someone else!"
"It's just that they are greedy for wealth and refusal to live the life of ordinary people. Jiuxiang said disdainfully: "The second master is also benevolent and righteous to the two of them, find their mother-in-law's family, no one has given a dowry of ten taels of silver when they leave, what's wrong with being the head lady of the family cleanly, but the one who is on the pole has to be a concubine with a dead face......" Jiuxiang looked at Rong Xia's suddenly embarrassed face, and immediately knew that he had said a scoop, and quickly recovered:" Of course, there is a great difference between this concubine and a concubine, Ah Xia, the second master is really good to you, for you, he never wants to touch other women, those two are purely window decorations, and now the second master even feels that this decoration is an eyesore, this is all for you!"
Rong Xia listened to the words of "For you!" one by one. In fact, it was very embarrassing in my heart, the matter between Scarlet and Baizhi really had nothing to do with her, but everyone seemed to think that it was their own reason, so Pei Jinzhi had to give up those two.
This is really wronged!
"Why are you so angry and unhappy?" Until Pei Jinzhi went home, Rong Xia still looked depressed.
Looking at someone with an "innocent" face in some annoyance, Rong Xia said sneeringly: "I'm about to become a fox spirit, what's so happy!"
"Fox spirit, you?" Pei Jinzhi shook his head and smiled.
was refuted with such an "incredible" tone, and Rong Xiajue's careful liver was suddenly hit by a mimi.
"You, at most, you're just a little rabbit ......" Pei Jinzhi raised his eyebrows, and quipped with mockery: "It's still a rabbit with a bold head like a soybean." ”
Empty mind? It's calling me stupid.
Rong Xia puffed out his cheeks, and sure enough, he looked like a fried rabbit paper.
***********************************************************************************
This year's Spring Festival is particularly different for Rong Xia, in previous years, when they were in the Hou Mansion, people like them would at most follow the master to see the excitement, and this year, when the festival was arranged, from the etiquette to the purchase of food and clothing, Rong Xia had to make his own decision.
"Master, look at it, this is a list of gifts, do you think it's appropriate?" Jin Hua handed over a red list.
Rong Xia took a closer look up and down: "I heard that the second master's Shangguan is a person who likes to drink very much, you add two jars of wolfberry osmanthus wine brewed by me personally in this year's New Year's ceremony, oh, the second master bought a car of fur outside the customs last time, picked two of the best and put them into the funeral car of the Hou Mansion in the capital, and some local tuyi and the like also pulled back more, and the things for the second young grandmother should be packed separately......" Rong Xia thought about it and felt that there should be nothing left to forget on this list, so he said: " In this way, when the second master comes back in the evening, I will show him the list again, and if anything is left behind, it will be better to add more. ”
"Yes!" Jin Hua nodded, and then suddenly said as if remembering something: "By the way, master, there is one more thing." ”
Rong Xia motioned for her to speak.
"The sister-in-law of the He family sent someone to bring a letter, saying that Baizhi and Fei'er's condition had improved, and that she wanted to come over to ask the second master for the Spring Festival this year. ”
"This-" Rong Xia immediately had a headache when he heard this: "Forget it, it depends on the second master's own meaning!"
As soon as it is ready, the Spring Festival is also coming. When the people in the mountains celebrate the New Year, the taste of the New Year is particularly strong, and the new clothes that they are usually reluctant to wear, and the meat and good ingredients that they are reluctant to eat are all brought to the dinner table. All of a sudden, the children of the whole village seemed to have popped up, holding cannons, whips, spinning tops, and climbing plows in their hands, making the whole village a chicken, flying and dog. Even Rong Xia's congratulations and fortune were not less teased by these children, often chasing a group of bear children and running all over the village.
Pei Jinzhi stood at the moment with his arms stretched out, letting Rong Xia dress himself.
"How do you feel?" asked Rong Xia excitedly.
Glancing at the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the corner. Pei Jinzhi nodded and said praisefully: "It looks pretty good." ”
"I think so too, the young master has a noble temperament, the color of this graphite green is a little cold, it really flatters you. Also, I changed the collar to a small stand-up collar, which is inlaid with a layer of sable fur, it's very warm!" Rong Xia took a few steps back, looked at Pei Jinzhi in front of him with a satisfied smile on his face.
"The master has stayed up for a month and nights for this dress, the color of each embroidery thread is personally selected, the needles and needles are all painstaking, and the clothes made are naturally good!" Jin Hua interjected with a smile next to her.
"Just talk to you. Rong Xia was a little embarrassed and glared at her with disgust.
"Well, I said that the blue and black under your eyes are so strict, it turned out that it was for sewing clothes!"
Blue and black, under the eyes?
Rong Xia raised his hand and pressed his eyes in a swishing voice, and asked in a panic: "Is it really, really that a panda?"
Pei Jinzhi raised his eyebrows: "What is a panda?"
"Pandas are pandas, they are very cute and rare animals, and they are national treasures!" Rong Xia was easily taken crooked by Pei Jinzhi, and it wasn't until he finished saying that he remembered that there doesn't seem to be a panda in this world now, of course, maybe the national babies are still hiding in the deep mountains and old forests without being discovered.
"Yinhua, go get a boiled egg!" Rong Xia ran to the mirror to take a look, and sure enough, he felt that his eyes were a little blue. Pei Jinzhi looked at Rong Xia, who was busy because of his joke, and showed a funny expression on his face, sure enough, what women care about most is always their appearance.
"Okay, I'm kidding, Asha is already very beautiful today. ”
This is not coaxing, today's Rong Xia is wearing a bright pink two-style cotton skirt, embroidered with most of the peony flowers, she rarely wears this kind of bright clothes, it is to wear it at this time, it makes people's eyes light up, like a peony flower that has budded and is ready to be released, at this time Rong Xia has already played with all of a mature woman.
"You all go down first. Pei Jinzhi turned his head and said.
Jinhua and Yinhua glanced at each other and hurriedly retreated.
"What's wrong?" asked Rong Xia strangely. Why do you keep looking at me?
"Come on!" Pei Jinzhi hooked his finger at someone. This movement and expression look like when she teases Wishing you prosperity!
Rong Xia muttered in his heart, but the person ran over happily.
"Eyes closed. ”
"What?"
"Close your eyes. ”
"Oh!"
Rong Xia closed his eyes, and suddenly felt that there was something next to his bun.
"Alright, open your eyes. Go look in the mirror. ”
