Chapter 23: Marriage
"Admonishment, your girl's craftsmanship is very much in line with His Royal Highness's wishes!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince squinted his small eyes and said with a smile at Pei Jinzhi.
Pei Jinzhi raised his eyebrows, and replied very calmly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good reputation, although the children's cooking skills are acceptable, but they are not as good as the imperial chefs in the palace, the dishes are delicious, all because of the delicious quality of the fish, if the prince thinks it is good, Weichen will send a fresh fish every three days in the future."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smashed his mouth, looked at him, and then looked at Xiao Rongxia who was standing there, sighed and said: "It seems that the admonition is reluctant to cut love, that's it, the gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, little girl, come here!"
Rong Xia blinked his eyes and moved cautiously.
"Your Highness is very satisfied with the food you cooked today, so I want to reward you, little girl, what do you want?"
Rong Xia's heart suddenly moved when he heard this, the person in front of him was His Royal Highness the Prince, and since he had already said this, if he asked for something, he would definitely be able to answer it if he wanted to come to the eighteenth โกโก. For a moment, Rong Xia wanted to speak, she wanted to return her family's deed of sale. That's right, it's a "deed of sale". This idea has been deeply rooted in Rong Xia's heart since the day her sister Beth was sold.
Butโ
Rong Xia said to himself in his heart: It's just a dish, it's too greedy to want to make such an excessive request, and it's still in front of the second young master, wouldn't it be a slap in the face.
Thinking of this, Rong Xia plucked up the courage to shake his head at a small angle, and said, "The prince's praise of delicious food is the greatest reward for me and the slave." โ
The prince laughed when he heard this, laughing and laughing, but he hiccuped a few times in a row.
"My girl loves gold and silver the most, Your Highness might as well reward her with this!"
Rong Xia's little face turned red, could it be that he was greedy for money in his mind?
"Very good! Then His Highness will reward you with ten gold!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really generous.
Jin, Jin, Jin, Jin, Jin?Rong Xia's eyes were a little still for a moment, and there was a very small grunt in his throat.
It looks special, special and unproductive.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, thank you, Your Highness, you are such a good person!!! "What is the conversion of ancient silver coins?"
Looking at the little girl who couldn't jump three feet tall and was about to float, Pei Jinzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and the green tendons in his temples moved slightly.
Rong Xia went out in a daze, what is a windfall from the sky, this is called a windfall from the sky!!
"Ah Xia is really a little money fan!" On the return carriage, Pei Jinzhi leaned against the wall of the box and suddenly said.
"Of course it's good to have money!" Rong Xia raised his eyes and said very seriously: "Money can save lives." โ
The hardships of life when she was a child made Rong Xia feel a sense of crisis in her stocks, so she was a person who liked to save very much, whether it was the things collected in the space or the number on the family passbook that would increase every month, it was something that could make Rong Xia feel at ease. Having money means that you will not go hungry, and you can go to a doctor for treatment when you are sick, so in Rong Xia's concept, money is very, very important.
Pei Jinzhi slightly restrained the ridicule on his face, pondered for a moment, and suddenly nodded: "Ah Xia is right, money is indeed important!"
Rong Xia didn't understand why he suddenly became strict, but he still tilted his head and asked softly, "Young Master, how could the prince know about me?"
Pei Jinzhi sighed a little helplessly when he heard this, and took out a paper bag from his cuff, Rong Xia immediately recognized it, this is what he wrapped for him. Pei Jinzhi's "stomach" is not good (Ah Xia has always thought so), eating out of ten * is to vomit, and it is not popular to "bring rice" in these years, so Rong Xia thought of a way to make a lot of small snacks out, and now the one he is holding in his hand is the fried fish cake made by Rong Xia himself this morning.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a dog's nose, but he didn't expect it to be hidden in his sleeve, but he still let him find out!" Pei Jinzhi's indifferent face showed a strange slight resentment. Rong Xia on the side looked at him and thought secretly: Your nose is also very smart, you can smell a handful of corn kernels like that, and it is not surprising that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smells the smell of fried fish cakes!
Later, it must have been His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who asked about the origin of the food, but Pei Jinzhi couldn't shirk it, so he could only summon Rong Xia.
"Young master, these are for you!" Rong Xia put the ten hot gold leaves that had been covered in his arms in front of Pei Jinzhi's eyes.
Pei Jinzhi frowned: "Why did the prince give me what you rewarded?"
"The reason why Ah Xia was able to get this gold was because of the young master, and this fish was raised in the young master's yard, and the cost of ear food on weekdays was also the young master's account. Although he was reluctant to give up, although his flesh hurt very much, Rong Xia still put the gold in Pei Jinzhi's arms: "So the gold you got should also be the young master's!"
Pei Jinzhi looked at Rong Xia, who was full of seriousness, suddenly smiled, raised his hand and gently pinched the white and tender little face, he said softly: "Little cunning!"
Rong Xia pursed her mouth, and her face showed a touch of uncomfortable emotion.
calmly put away the ten gold leaves, and took out a big penny from the money bag, yes, it is the kind of round house-shaped penny that can buy a piece of white sugar cake.
"It's Asha's hard-earned money. Pei Jinzhi looked at the stunned little girl, and touched her dog's head in a very good mood: "Take it, don't thank me too much!"
Rong Xia is holding a lot of money, and she is simply beating up with desire! cry!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really likes the fish raised by Rong Xia very much, and every three days, people from the Prince's Mansion will come to Rong Xia to get fish, and sometimes, Rong Xia will also be called to the Prince's Mansion to make fish for the Prince.
The more times he went, Rong Xia was not as nervous and scared as the first time.
She was also received by the crown princess once.
The crown princess's surname is Shi, she is very delicate and beautiful, and her personality is also very kind.
I don't know why, she seems to like Rong Xia very much, and when she talked to Rong Xia, she also gave her a box of jewelry, which are some exquisite juan flowers made in the palace, Xiao Su Hai and other things, which are suitable for a little girl of Rong Xia's age to bring, in addition, the princess also rewarded two silk cloths, this kind of silk costs five taels of silver for a foot outside, which can be said to be very expensive. Rong Xia was a little uneasy, and asked Pei Jinzhi in particular, is it really okay to take these things?
Pei Jinzhi said to her: "It's okay! keep what you're giving you!"
This satin is all pink white lotus print, the girl wore it, and it was not returned to Pei Jinzhi like last time, Rong Xia thought about it and put it away by herself.
"Young Master, why is the crown princess so kind to me?" Rong Xia asked very strangely.
Pei Jinzhi flicked her brain twice: "It's good for you to reward you with something, and Ah Xia is too easy to be bought!"
"That's not the case. Rong Xia took a step back, covered her forehead and said, "I just think that the crown princess is very kind to me." โ
When Pei Jinzhi heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
There is also a reason why the crown princess is so friendly to Rong Xia.
First, Rong Xia is small and looks like a cute rabbit, which can arouse a woman's maternal love. The second and most important - Rong Xia taught a recipe for white jade loach soup to the chefs of the prince's mansion, and those cooks have studied the dishes for many years. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks healthy on the surface, but in fact, there is a fatness in the mainland, and there are some unspeakable hidden things under the bed, although he is in his twenties, he has premature ejaculation and weakness. Although he has been married to the princess for many years and has several concubines, he has never given birth to a son and a half daughter, but since he drank a bowl of loach soup that day, he didn't know how to do it at night.
Of course, for the above reasons, Pei Jinzhi does not plan to sue Rong Xia.
Time flies, and before you know it, another few months have passed.
In the blink of an eye, Pei Jinzhi's wedding day is approaching.
Hou Ye personally gave an order, saying that [Green Bamboo Xuan] was too cold and not suitable for living after marriage, so he cleaned up another set of yards for Pei Jinzhi, and the courtyard was called [Ronghua Courtyard], which was very exquisite and gorgeous. After Rong Xia knew about this, a small thought rose in her heart, she hoped that she would stay here in [Green Bamboo Xuan], so that she could not only take care of the vegetable field and pond left here, but also avoid seeing the picture of other husbands and wives loving each other, and she didn't have to be so bitter and sad.
When Rong Xia told Pei Jinzhi about this idea, he was silent for a while and agreed.
This made Rong Xia feel very happy.
Just like that, before the first snow fell this year, Pei Jinzhi was finally getting married.
On that day, the entire Dingyang Hou Mansion was lit up.
Rong Xia, as Pei Jinzhi's favorite maid, didn't have to be sent to wash the dishes like last time.
In fact, that day, she didn't go anywhere, she went into her spiritual well space alone.
"There are thirty-two bags of white rice, eighteen bags of refined flour, and a total of all kinds of coarse grains, well, I count, there are sixty-one bags, there are not many stocks in the space, it seems that we have to find a way to replenish it, and the wine is almost bottoming out, and there should be another batch of ...... tomorrow spring" Rong Xia is like a hard-working little bee, moving all kinds of things back and forth in the whole space.
I don't know how long she was busy, but she felt tired.
He lay down on top of the rice bag.
The space was quiet, and there was no movement except for the sound of water gushing up from the well.
Rong Xia thought: It should be very lively outside!
The last time the eldest young master got married, it was very lively.
The person she likes is out there marrying another woman......
Thinking about it, thinking about it, Rong Xia cried, she didn't want to cry, but her heart hurt too much and she couldn't help it.
She wanted to go home.
"Brother......" she clutched her heart and cried softly, softly, "I don't want to stay here." โ
