Rong Xia's face instantly became popular.

How could she agree to such an unreasonable request, she hurriedly pushed He An forward half a step, turned around and went outside.

Looking at her panicked almost trotting back, Pei Jinzhi's originally drunk eyes couldn't help but freeze slightly, and a helpless expression appeared on his face.

At this time, there was a giggling laugh next to him, but he saw He An covering his mouth, looked at Rong Xia, who had long since disappeared outside the door, and then looked at his own young master who was standing next to the bathtub in single clothes, and couldn't help squinting his eyes and laughing playfully.

Pei Jinzhi glanced at him lightly, and then said very coldly: "You have deducted all your monthly money this month!"

"What? don't, young master!" He An instantly showed a grief-stricken expression, thinking that he is also a person with a wife and children now, and he needs to support his family! Pei Jinzhi completely ignored his ghost crying and howling, only thinking of the person who was scared away like a little rabbit just now, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly...... Pei Erye, who is used to being admired by Rong Xia, is gentle, considerate, and treated, but he actually can't stand this kind of "cold war".

It seems that he really spoils her too much!

Pei Jinzhi's face was expressionless, but he thought with some indignation in his heart.

I don't know if I take the initiative to come over and "ask for peace".

***************************************************************************

As the saying goes, a good new official takes office with three fires, and after Pei Jinzhi takes office, he has to be busy.

He often got up early in the morning, went out all day, and came home every day when it was dark.

Pei Jinzhi was busy with political affairs, but Rong Xia was in charge of the backyard, and the scarlet girl expressed great dissatisfaction with this, but firstly, this was Pei Jinzhi's own order, and secondly, although she now has the name of having a room, she has no room. She is just a girl, and she doesn't have so much confidence in her heart, so Rong Xia can still suppress her for the time being.

On this day, a toothy woman led a string of little girls to come in through the back door of the county office.

Seeing Rong Xia, this tooth woman immediately showed a flower-like smile, and called out one lady after another. Rong Xia's face was full of embarrassment when she called her, but Jiuxiang next to her was chattering first, Rong Xia really couldn't interject, so she could only sit there without saying a word.

They are new to the city, so they need to add some men. Moreover, the matter of buying a girl was specially requested by Pei Jinzhi, and Rong Xia could not question it.

Jiuxiang is much more familiar with this kind of "human trafficking" than Rong Xia, so she is in charge, and she keeps five or six girls in a row, all of whom are thirteen or fourteen-year-old green girls who can do it immediately.

Rong Xia watched Jiuxiang bargaining with Ya Pozi over there with her articulate mouth, but her eyes looked at these girls quite uncomfortably, and she could clearly see that these girls were all from poor families, all of them were yellow and thin, and their expressions were either shrunk and humble or their faces were courteous and flattering, as if some cats and dogs were being chosen by others, and they looked really pitiful.

Rong Xia used to feel nostalgic for his unwarranted "resurrection", but when he thought about it, if he had died in a car accident like this, or if he had returned his soul to these hard-working girls, how miserable the life would have been. In this way, in the past, Li Niangzi and Lao Rongtou's various benefits to themselves, and Pei Jinzhi's protection and spoiling of himself everywhere, all came to mind, and his expression couldn't help but be stunned.

"Six girls, I'll make you a whole piece, twenty-five taels of silver, a death deed. What do you think?"

The tooth woman calculated in her heart, and felt that this was not a loss compared to trading, and besides, this was the family of the county lord, she didn't rush Wang Ba's mouth to ask for the price, so she only nodded and said repeatedly: "I want it, I want it." ”

Jiuxiang made the price, turned around and saluted Rong Xia, and made a look. Rong Xia nodded, took out the silver money to pay the tooth woman, and when she asked for the money and goods, suddenly a girl knelt on the ground, slammed her head and kowtowed, and the head was heavy and urgent, and only a few times the blue-gray floor tiles seemed to be stained with blood.

"What are you doing!" Rong Xia was startled, stood up and dragged the girl up personally.

"Kind madam, I beg you, buy the slave's sister too, and the slave and maid will repay your kindness by being a cow and a horse in this life. This girl is also one of the six girls left by Jiuxiang, and she is the most delicate and clean among them.

"You stand up and talk well!" Rong Xia saw her tears and bloodstained face, and listened to her keep talking about saving her sister, which showed that there was something urgent.

"What the hell is going on?" Rong Xia turned his head and glanced at Ya Po on the side.

The tooth woman first glared at the girl, and then showed a mouth full of big yellow teeth and smiled flatteringly at Rong Xia: "So that Mrs. knows, this girl is called Jinhua, and there is a twin sister of a compatriot called Yinhua, and the Yinhua suffered from a serious illness a few days ago, and she has not been well yet, so the old slave did not bring her here today." ”

People like them have extremely black and ruthless hearts, how can they be willing to spend money on a girl to treat a disease, I am afraid that no matter how bad the silver flower is, it will not take a few days to still go to the wilderness and fields. "And dissatisfied with Madame, her sister was a mute girl because she had a fever when she was a child, and her throat was burned. When the old slaves bought them from their uncles, it was just a buy one get one free, and the lady is a bodhisattva, if you have a good heart and want to save the dumb man, you only need to fill in one or two silver errands, that's it!"

Rong Xia himself was originally a mute, but when he heard what this woman said, a sense of pity immediately rose in his heart.

"Madam, please give my sister a way to live, please!" the little girl of twelve or thirteen years old cried so sadly. Rong Xia instantly made up his mind.

"Okay, I've bought her sister too, you can go back and send someone to me right away. ”

"Mrs. Bodhisattva's heart, save the suffering, these girls fell in your house, but they will definitely have a good life after they come to the bitter end!"

Rong Xia didn't have the heart to listen to her flattery, so he signaled to Jiuxiang and sent the person away.

"Xie, Mrs. Xie!" Jin Hua's face was full of tears, and she knelt on the ground and wanted to knock again. Rong Xia stopped her movements, took out the medicine to stop the bleeding, and wiped it on her forehead. He persuaded him: "Don't be too anxious, I'll go to a doctor and see your sister in a while." You don't have to work these days, go take care of your sister!"

Jin Hua only felt in her heart that the lady in front of her who was smiling gently at herself was really a compassionate fairy in heaven, and she didn't know how to be grateful.

After arranging all the girls, Rong Xia also went to busy with her own affairs.

She also has plans in her heart for the future.

In the past, when she was in the Hou Mansion, she used to grow vegetables in the garden, dig ponds, and raise fish and shrimp. However, after all, the space is limited, and they are all petty fights. But this Wan'an County is different, the farmer's farmland, the pastoral village, no matter what you want to grow, it is convenient and ruthless...... And it's not like the Hou Mansion where there are many eyes, and you have to be careful when using the Lingjing space, lest people notice anything weird. It's not so troublesome here, so Rong Xia's first step is to buy land. As long as she is given enough land, she is sure to grow anything. However, this matter is complicated and also needs to be carefully planned, and it is not something that can be achieved overnight, and it also needs to be discussed with Pei Jinzhi in advance, and it is not something that she can do alone. So this afternoon, Rong Xia finished buying the girl, and then went to the street with Jiuxiang, and bought a lot of daily necessities in large bags.

In this way, I was busy, and before I knew it, half a month had passed. With Rong Xia's efforts, the family's qiē also began to become regular.

Jinhua's sister, the little girl named Yinhua, also got better, and after she recovered, she came over to kowtow to Rong Xia to thank her. Rong Xia saw that she and Jinhua were indeed twin sisters, and they looked almost identical. The girl knelt on the ground and gestured with her hands a few times, and then kowtowed to Rong Xia twice.

To the surprise of Jiuxiang, who was standing aside, Rong Xia seemed to be able to understand the meaning of this mute girl, and spoke fluently with her responses. Rong Xia listened to her question, but smiled bitterly in her heart, how bitter is the mute, if you want to communicate with others, you rely on this set of "sign language" actions, although the sign language actions in the two eras cannot be exactly the same, but Rong Xiayuan is also a mute, and he understands it at this time. Jinhua and Yinhua were arranged on Rong Xia's side, and they were called by her girl. Rong Xia heard this at first, but she was shocked that she was a maid herself, how could she still be served by others? However, when it came to Jiuxiang's side, she didn't hear it at all, anyway, in the end, the two sisters of gold and silver took root by Rong Xia's side.

On this day, Pei Jinzhi came back from the yamen after handling political affairs, Rong Xia had already prepared a meal, she made a burrito today, a thin spring cake on the stall, plus golden shredded potatoes, and green leek bean sprouts, meat dishes are bacon slices, as well as the characteristics of old Beijing, fried shredded pork in Beijing sauce, and a Gu fresh mushroom soup made by Rong Xia.

"Have you eaten?" Pei Jinzhi changed his clothes, crossed his legs, and sat at the kang table.

Rong Xia couldn't help but look at his long curved legs, and felt quite funny in his heart.

"No!" Rong Xia's heart beat a little fast, and he pursed his mouth and replied.

Pei Jinzhi hummed for a moment and said lightly: "Then let's go together!"

"Hey!" Rong Xia nodded hurriedly, and put the other pair of chopsticks that had been prepared a long time ago on the table.

The two hadn't eaten at the same table for a long time, and Rong Xia didn't know what to say for a while.

"Young master, you drink soup!" Rong Xia brought him a bowl of fresh soup.

Pei Jinzhi raised his head, glanced at her, and saw that her little face was a little worried and flattering, and he felt a little more comfortable.

Drank soup and ate bread.

Pei Jinzhi talked to Rong Xia about something.
