"In the next few days, someone will come to visit, and you will come forward to do all the entertainment. ”

Rong Xia thought for a moment and said suspiciously, "Young Master refers to female guests?"

If she comes forward to entertain her, it will definitely not be a male guest. And they are new to the group, they are not familiar with the place where they have any relatives to go, and the people who can come to visit must be the wives of Pei Jinzhi's subordinates, or the wives of some local noble families and the like!

Pei Jinzhi nodded slightly, indicating that Rong Xia had guessed correctly.

"But I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well!" Rong Xia said with some embarrassment.

She is not an eight-faced character, she is most afraid of that kind of lively occasion of communication, and if she says something wrong, it doesn't matter if she is embarrassed, it will not be good if Pei Jinzhi is also embarrassed.

"Peace of mind. Pei Jinzhi glanced at her, and said helplessly in a voice as to why you are still so stupid: "No one in the realm of Wan'an will dare to deliberately embarrass you." ”

Those who can take the initiative to visit must be lower than Pei Jinzhi's level, and they will definitely not and dare not embarrass Rong Xia if they are too late to cling to it.

"Okay then!" Rong Xia felt that it was also reasonable, and felt slightly relieved.

After the two finished eating, Jin Hua came over to clean up the dishes with her hands and feet, and Rong Xia was about to help but was stopped by Pei Jinzhi's look. After the person went down, he tilted his neck at Rong Xia. Rong Xia almost knew all his habits, and when he saw it, he immediately knelt on the kang and rubbed his head, arched his little hand and began to pinch his neck.

Pei Jinzhi closed his eyes, and with Rong Xia's pinching, hanging and pressing movements, his face also showed a comfortable expression.

"In the future, all those chores will be handed over to the next person to do!" Pei Jinzhi said very naturally.

At about this time, the atmosphere was just right, and Rong Xia also muttered jokingly: "Then I'm not unemployed!"

Stupid, you just need to serve me well.

Pei Jinzhi half-squinted his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

As he said, two days later, people began to come to visit intermittently.

Three of them are eye-catching.

The first is the wife of Bo, the lord of Wan'an County, surnamed Ma, who is a woman with a sharp mouth, and she popularized many customs and habits in Jingzhou for Rong Xia, as well as the gossip in the circle of Mrs. Wan'an County.

The second is the wife of a scholarly family in Wan'an County, who had a squire in her grandfather in the previous dynasty, but now there is no one in the family, only a academy has been opened in the county, and it is considered to be a bit famous.

The third is the wife of the richest family in the local area, who has more than a dozen rice noodles and silk shops at home, and the largest restaurant in Wan'an County, "Distinguished Guests", is opened by her family. This Mrs. Fan has a round face, very thick and dark skin, but she has a gold stick and a gold bracelet, and her body is full of the breath of an upstart, probably because of this, Mrs. Wu, who was born in a scholarly family, is very contemptuous of her, and she never even greeted her.

"Mrs. Ru is really beautiful like a flower, like a fairy descending to earth, in the end, the water and soil of the capital will raise people, we Jingzhou can't produce such a person who does water. Mrs. Ma smiled again and again, and good words came out one after another. However, Rong Xia felt very embarrassed in her ears, the so-called Mrs. Ru was nothing more than an honorific title on her face, she had the heart to say that she was not Pei Jinzhi's concubine, but if she wasn't herself, what identity would she take to entertain these people.

"That is, that is, like the appearance of Mrs. Tianxian, it matches our champion palace, just as the so-called Lang Cai is a woman's appearance, and the talented son marries a family, it is really a pair in the sky, a good marriage on the ground!" Mrs. Fan spoke with a local accent and used words quite randomly, causing the Wu lady to quietly roll her eyes several times.

Because the skin in this life is very good, even the ladies in the palace have a lot of admiration, Rong Xia is not as blushing and short of breath as at the beginning of these words that praise his appearance, and he is ashamed, so he only sits in it with a smile at this time, and it is a bit unfathomable in the eyes of others. Mrs. Wu is a woman who strictly implements etiquette and dogma, and she sees herself as the lady of the main room, and she has always looked down on Rong Xia, a woman who relies on a foxy face to ascend to the throne, so although she is a person, she always sits there with a cold color and a word.

Rong Xia invited them to eat tea, it was a kind of high-quality flower tea brought from the capital, Jingzhou is rare, after Mrs. Fan drank the tea, her eyebrows were stretched, and she praised two sentences fiercely, muttering about what kind of flowers are light, and the atmosphere is long, Rong Xia saw that she liked to be even if she let people wrap five taels of tea and send it to Mrs. Fan.

A few people came this time just to make a face, and then touch the reality of the county master's backyard, seeing that it was this beautiful lady Ru who came forward to receive them with full authority, and they knew in their hearts who they should move around with in the future, and who they should "get along with" in the future.

After a while, the three were finally sent away.

Rong Xia leaned loosely on the back of the chair and sighed tiredly.

When Jinhua saw this, she poured her a cup of tea. Rong Xia waved his hand and shook his head to indicate that he had almost drunk half of the pot just now, and his stomach would blow up if he drank it again...... Jin Hua pursed her lips and smiled, and retreated with the tea tray and other things. At this time, Jiuxiang walked in with a gift list, these days, Rong Xia has not been less "gift-receiving", but it is obvious that today's collection is especially "heavy." ”

First of all, Mrs. Wu, the things she sent are quite in line with the tradition of their scholarly family, but it is a picture of stepping on spring, Rong Xia often serves in Pei Jinzhi's study, and has watched a lot of famous paintings and ancient scrolls, looking at its seal style seal, it is clear that this is about a famous painting of the previous dynasty and that Mrs. Ma, her husband happens to be Pei Jinzhi's direct subordinate, and the gifts sent by him are also very rich, as for the nouveau riche Mrs. Fan, the handwriting is even more extraordinary, not to mention a full set of women's sapphire jewelry, which is worth □□, even in the capital。

Rong Xia was taken aback when he saw this kind of generous gift, lest he cause any trouble to Pei Jinzhi, and immediately told him about the matter after he left the office, "He, they want to do it, bribe!" Rong Xia blinked his eyes, swallowed his saliva, and showed a timid expression on his face.

Pei Jinzhi was amused when he saw it, raised his slender fingers and flicked her brain without pity, and said with a smile: "Put your heart in your stomach, just hold it." ”

Hearing this, Rong Xia looked at Pei Jinzhi's gaze with a faint sense of anger, as if to say: You have been a Qing official since then, but I didn't expect it to be ......

The corners of Pei Jinzhi's mouth twitched, and he couldn't hold back any longer, so he pinched her cheek with his hand: "When the water is clear, there is no fish, young master, I call it and the light and the same dust, if you don't accept anything, it will be their turn to sleep and eat." ”

"One term of the Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. Rong Xia covered her cheeks and muttered.

"What are you muttering?" Pei Jinzhi raised his eyebrows.

"No, not at all. Rong Xia took three steps back in a row.

"Put it all away. Pei Jinzhi threw the gift list on the table and said neatly.

"Oh, then I'll register them and put them in the storehouse in a moment. ”

Pei Jinzhi hummed, then opened a red treasure box on the table, and suddenly a touch of blue water flashed. Pei Jinzhi took out a hairpin from it, looked left and right and nodded: "There was a gem mine here in Jingzhou before this dynasty, and I think this set of gemstone jewelry came from it, and its color is superior." With that, he beckoned to Rong Xia.

Rong Xia walked over suspiciously, but as soon as Pei Jin's hand was raised, he pinned the hairpin to her bun.

"Young Master!" Rong Xia reflexively wanted to pick it up.

"Don't move. Pei Jinzhi sighed.

Rong Xia looked at him stiffly.

Pei Jinzhi glanced at her up and down, but frowned slightly, and said, "Why is it not good-looking." ”

This sapphire hairpin is made into a flower shape, suitable for wearing that kind of dense hair, although Rong Xia's hair is also dark and soft, but it is not thick, and she is young and pure, so it is not very suitable for wearing this gorgeous hairpin.

"It's not suitable in the first place!" Rong Xia quickly pulled the hairpin off his head with these words.

This thing is very expensive at first glance, in case of any damage, Rong Xia feels that he can't afford to compensate.

"Okay, young master, don't tease Ah Xia anymore, I'm going to get busy" Rong Xia held the stacks of large and small boxes on the table in his arms and walked outside.

Pei Jinzhi glanced at her back, and shook his head slightly helplessly.

Since that day, after the three ladies joined forces to visit, more than a dozen female guests came to visit in the following time, the so-called one time is born and two times mature, Rong Xia has not been nervous at the beginning, whether it is to entertain guests or receive gifts, there has been no difference, and because of his beauty, he has some reputation for it.

Time passed unconsciously, from summer to autumn, and in a blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has always been one of the most important festivals of the year, Rong Xia prepared all kinds of things for the festival early, and wanted to have a good time with this festival, but who would have thought that early that morning, Pei Jinzhi and others brought things to load them into a carriage and transport them away.

"Young Master, where are we going?" Rong Xia frowned, a question mark on his head.

Pei Jinzhi closed his eyes and didn't answer, Rong Xia pouted, pushed the window and looked out.

But seeing the car out of the county all the way to the south, there are gradually large green fields on both sides, and you can also see tenant farming cattle in the fields, Rong Xia looked at it and gradually became fascinated, once upon a time, she grew up in this kind of landscape and pastoral.

Shh......h The carriage stopped.

Rong Xia knew that he had arrived at the place, and he almost couldn't wait to jump down.
