Chapter 38: Red as Fire I
Pei Jinzhi really did what he said, and since then, no one from the second master's side has come to ask for fish, but I don't know why Pei Jinzhi transferred a few more people to Luzhuxuan's side, Rong Xia noticed that they also quietly guarded the pool of fish at night!
Which thief in the dignified Hou Mansion dared to come to the door to steal things, and he came to steal fish, Rong Xia tactfully expressed his meaning to Pei Jinzhi, who thought that he patted her head with a folding fan and said, "Wait, it won't be long before someone takes the bait." โ
Rong Xia didn't quite understand what he meant, but this confusion completely turned into "I see" and "dumbfounded" after half a month. "The day of the incident was a moonlit and starry midnight, Rong Xia was sleeping soundly in the house, who thought of the outside suddenly made a noise, Rong Xia was frightened a lot, and hurriedly got up and dressed, and went out to investigate, good guy, it turned out that the vigil caught two sneaky people, and then interrogated, they were properly recruited.
One bite at the order of the second master. After another search, they actually kicked a bag of โกโก each, and they had the idea of poisoning all the fish in a pond alive. Rong Xia's face turned pale with anger at that time, she really never thought that the second master would be such a crazy person, it was simply a typical example that I couldn't get, and none of you could think of it.
And today is to poison the fish, tomorrow is going to poison people!
Rong Xia shuddered at the thought of this.
Pei Jinzhi rushed over after receiving the news, he didn't say anything, just glanced at Rong Xia with a slight reassurance, and then pressed the two to the front yard. Rong Xia didn't sleep all night, and the next morning, she got the news that the two people who intended to poison were each beaten with fifty boards, almost lost two legs, and were thrown out of the back door.

"Little brute, really a little brute, it's just a few broken fish, and they actually used the prince to press me! It's just against the sky!" Second Master Pei scolded in front of his favorite concubine, obviously very angry. Dingyang Hou not only scolded him just now, but also punished him for thinking about it behind closed doors, and the most important thing is that he also let the account stop his silver expenditure for a year, how can Second Master Pei not be angry.
Fan leaned on the soft pillow of the makeup flower and gently patted her daughter who began to cry because of Second Master Pei's roar, she raised her head and sighed at Second Master Pei: "Don't be angry, the concubine is not in good health, if it weren't for the fact that it is a little difficult for the concubine to get milk, and I heard that the fish raised by Luzhuxuan over there are very good, I won't ask for it, but it will make it difficult for the master!"
This is definitely a trivial statement.
There is no leaky wall in the world, the prince's mansion pulls things back from the mansion every half a month, and those who have eyes can see it, knowing that the fish is something set by the prince, they should not go to move, you don't see that even the lord and the old lady have not opened their mouths in the mansion!
Fan's soft voice not only did not alleviate the second master's anger, but it was like adding fuel to the fire, rubbing the ground and making him more and more embarrassed. Because of his disability, Pei Er's mind is also different from that of normal people, his temperament is particularly ruthless and irritable, and he hates people who don't take him seriously, and Pei Jinzhi's behavior is tantamount to a living slap in the face, clearly telling everyone that there is no father of Pei Erye in his heart.
Of course, in the heart of Second Master Pei, Pei Jinzhi is not his son.
He's just a sinister obstacle born after the Han slut was raped, just a beast.
If it weren't for the suppression of his brother Dingyang Hou, if it weren't for the fear that others would find out about the shame, the second master Pei would have strangled Pei Jinzhi with a rope when he was young, and he would not have been able to live to this day.
Not to mention how angry Second Master Pei was, and how Fan comforted.
Green Bamboo Xuan's side has returned to the peace of the past.
Rong Xia's current work plan is like this, in addition to cooking three meals a day, her morning time is to water the vegetable field with spiritual well water to fill the fish pond with spiritual well water, and in the afternoon is to do two hours of female red, and then learn an hour of big characters, of course, at this stage, it is still mainly to recognize words, and in the evening, she will either develop new recipes, or continue to be a female celebrity. Of course, she didn't forget about the hot pot restaurant, and after trial and error, Rong Xia finally chose two kinds of hot pot bases, one is the big bone soup base, and the other is the seafood base with dried shrimp, seaweed, snow bamboo shoots and shellfish clams, the former is fragrant and the latter is fresh, both of which are rare and delicious soup bases.
In this way, another month passed unconsciously.
On this day, Rong Xia changed her clothes and waited quietly at the back gate of the Hou Mansion, and after a while, a blue-gray carriage stopped, and He An, who was dressed as a steward on the wheel, smiled at her, Rong Xia also bent her eyes and smiled back, and only climbed into the carriage in twos and threes.
Pei Jinzhi, who was wearing a stone blue coat in the car, opened his eyes slightly.
Rong Xia was happy in his heart, and shouted with a smile: "Young Master!"
Pei Jinzhi sighed, and he seemed to be in a good mood. The carriage went all the way forward, and after seven turns and eight turns, it stopped suddenly, and Rong Xia heard the lively noise outside before he got out of the car.
"Don't go down yet...... Pei Jinzhi stopped Rong Xia, who was eager to try, and said funny: "There are too many people now, let's wait and go over." โ
So Rong Xia had no choice but to sit down obediently again. However, although he sat down, his eyes looked out of the car window, and he saw that on the opposite side of the street, there were many people bustling around, and everyone was talking with a touch of curiosity on their faces.
Rong Xia stared into the distance, and finally saw an acquaintance through a pile of black heads.
But it was the shopkeeper Chen that he saw that day.
I saw that he was dressed in a dark yellow copper coin robe, with a round hat buttoned with a piece of jade, like an old man mentioned in the play, and he looked very kind, very kind, and kind.
At noon, two columns of big red firecrackers hanging in front of the door thunderbolted to the sky, and there were dragon and lion dance teams dressed in colorful clothes to celebrate, and even some acrobatic tricks also came out to perform, which often attracted everyone to applaud, and the atmosphere was very lively. Then the shopkeeper Chen stepped forward to speak with a smile on his face, although because he was far away, Rong Xia couldn't hear it clearly, but judging from the warm applause of the audience, the effect must be quite good. After the shopkeeper Chen finished speaking, he turned around and unveiled the plaque hanging in front of the door with his own hands in front of everyone's eyes, and the three big characters [red as fire] clearly appeared in front of the people with the red silk falling [red as fire].
"Young master, this, isn't this my name?" Rong Xia turned his head suddenly, and there was obviously a little excitement in his big eyes: "You really used it?"
"The idea for this store came from Axia, so naturally you have to choose the name. Pei Jinzhi didn't tell her, he already planned to give her a part of the dividend. It's just that according to the character of the little girl, he will definitely not accept it, so he temporarily suppressed it and didn't say anything.
Rong Xia laughed a little silly when she heard the "praise", and after a while, Pei Jinzhi knocked on her head and said helplessly: "Let's go!"
So, she stupidly followed out of the carriage.
Half a month before the opening of the red as hot, there was a wide distribution of "leaflets", of course, this method was provided by Xiao Rongxia, Pei Jinzhi is such a smart person, almost instantly understood the benefits of this so-called "leaflet", so he not only designed the model of the flyer by hand, but also understood the mystery of "discount" without a teacher, it is simply a draw.
Although everyone doesn't know what the so-called "hot pot" is, they can't stand the plates drawn on the leaflets, the vivid variety of food and vegetables, or the small copper pot that looks quite delicate and interesting! The people of Beijing, who call themselves the pioneers of popularity, are very pioneering, and if you try it yourself, you won't know what this so-called hot pot is, right?
With such foreshadowing in the early stage, it is not difficult to imagine how the voices in [Red as Fire] are boiling at this time. Rong Xia followed Pei Jinzhi into the door, and a pair of big eyes began to look around like a machine gun. Completely different from the first time I visited, the interior of the store has been completely renovated and looks very simple and neat. The entire hall on the first floor is divided into rectangular open lattices, and each lattice is made of emerald green bamboo curtains as a grid, and there are two steps between each other, so that it is convenient for the guests, and there is no need to be disturbed by the noise during the meal. The little two's footsteps are like flying, like flexible loaches, burrowing into bamboo curtains, obviously busy.
The passenger flow was full, Rong Xia finally let go of the little heart hanging over, because it was because of his personal participation, there was a faint pride, and began to wind around the tip of his heart slightly.
The second floor is obviously different from the first floor, the decoration is more elegant, and of course, it also looks more stylish.
Rong Xia followed Pei Jinzhi to the largest private room, and as soon as he entered the door, Rong Xia was taken aback. Without it, His Royal Highness the Prince, who was round and plump, was leaning against the window and secretly squeezing his eyes at the frightened Xiao Rong Xia.
"Weichen see His Royal Highness-" Pei Jinzhi didn't seem to be surprised at all by the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and bowed very calmly.
"The little girl sees His Highness. Rong Xia hurriedly followed suit, he should have knelt, but Rong Xia forgot about it as soon as he was nervous. Conditioned reflex, he bowed directly, and he had to have a hundred and twenty degrees no matter how he visually went.
Looking at the panicked and obviously frightened little girl, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled very kindly, and said softly: "Lone left the palace without permission, scaring you, hahaha...... Hurry up!"
In addition to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there were two guards in the entire private room who knew that they were very difficult to mess with, their temples were very high, and their eyes were fierce and fierce, which was very frightening.
