Chapter 21: Withering
The atmosphere was too quiet so that Shen, who was originally right, began to dodge and dodge. She seemed to know that she had said the wrong thing, and there was a hint of uneasiness on her face, which had a few age spots. However, the second master, who was directly identified as having a "green hat", did not have any shame or anger at all, but raised his head and sneered at Dingyang Hou.
"The son should have already said it-" Dingyang Hou looked directly at the mother and son in front of him, and said with nearly a thousand strengths word by word: "I am the son of the second brother, our son and daughter of the Dingyang Hou Mansion, if you want to say such a thing again, don't blame the son for turning his face and not recognizing people!"
Shen's face changed a few times, and he opened his mouth, as if he was muttering something, but the eldest son's gaze was too cold, and the old lady didn't dare to tease, so she only looked away and said tremblingly: "Anyway, I think the person the second brother said is very good, nothing is wrong." She responded to Pei Jinzhi in her heart, and the most important thing was that she was unwilling to let this "dazzling" wild seed overpower her own grandson Pei Anzhi, so she wanted to marry him a lowly wife, which could be regarded as suppressing his arrogance.
"I already have someone in my heart about the marriage. Dingyang Hou felt that if he didn't settle the matter today, he couldn't keep this out-of-tune younger brother still having to be a moth, so he simply stabbed it out: "Qiao Ge Lao has a granddaughter, sixteen years old, beautiful appearance, gentle and graceful, and a good match, I will go to Qiao's Mansion with a matchmaker to propose marriage in the near future, so you cut off that bullshit idea as soon as possible, understand?"
Dingyang Hou's eyes widened, and he said coldly.
The second master was shocked when he heard this, he had already received a "deposit" of 10,000 taels of silver from the Zhu family, if he couldn't marry the daughter of another family, then the money would ......

Rong Xia's injuries were recuperated for more than ten days, and he finally recovered completely. During the period of recuperation, He An came to see her every day, Rong Xia could often hear him mention the matter of the second young master, Rong Xia was worried about Pei Jinzhi's food, and deliberately poured out some seasonal vegetables from the space, let others make them, and then give them to Pei Jinzhi to eat. And after the injury completely improved, Rong Xia went back very automatically and consciously.
I haven't seen Pei Jinzhi for half a month, he still looks like the same, when the smile on Rong Xia's face just floated, she was greeted by Pei Jinzhi's cold eyes, so Rong Xia couldn't smile anymore. She stood there, looking very uneasy, her two jade white hands twisted, with a little trepidation and a little grievance.
"Young Master, I'm sorry!" Rong Xia lowered his head and said in a low voice.
Pei Jinzhi put down the scroll in his hand, glanced at the little girl in front of him lightly, and was not comforted, but asked without being salty: "Since you say I'm sorry, then you made a mistake, let me ask you, what is your mistake?"
"Ah, Ah Xia didn't keep a good home for the young master, so it was wrong!" Rong Xia felt extremely sad in his heart, and even his eyes began to heat up. No, she can't cry! She had made a mistake, and she had the face to cry again.
It is very obvious that Pei Jinzhi is not satisfied with this answer, which can be seen from his expressionless face.
"Stand over there!" Suddenly, Pei Jinzhi raised a finger and pointed to the corner of the north side of the room.
Rong Xia sniffled, walked over slowly, and turned his back to face the wall very consciously and obediently. In the original, the children in the village were naughty, and the most popular method used by parents was either to smoke with a feather duster, or to punish the children for thinking about it, Rong Xia had never experienced the death of his parents since he was a child, but now he has changed the world, but he has gone so far.
The walls of the study were damp, and some of the dark corners were already moss-grown.
Rong Xia stood there with her head down, but the grievances in her heart arched upwards in waves, and the tears in her eyes couldn't be held back in the end, Juanjuan flowed down like a stream, and she was now a little glad that she was facing the wall, so it was so good that the wolf bèi's eyes didn't let him see it.
The little girl stood there, her head hanging low and only revealing a white and tender neck, her back was slender, and her immature shoulders were twitching and shaking, and she looked pitiful. Pei Jinzhi's face was stinky, looked at her back, and rubbed his lower teeth hard.
I don't know how long it took, Rong Xia's little face had become dirty, leaving only half-dried tears.
"I'll cry!" Pei Jinzhi stood behind him, and his voice sounded in Rong Xia's ears.
Rong Xia shrunk his shoulders, came back to his senses tremblingly, lowered his head, and sobbed twice.
"Are the injuries healed?" Pei Jinzhi took out a cyan handkerchief from his cuff and rubbed Rong Xia Wolf's face with a little disgust.
"Okay, okay!" Rong Xia didn't dare to move, letting him rub it on his face roughly.
"Do you think that young master, I am really angry that you didn't take a good look at your home. Pei Jinzhi looked at Rong Xia, who looked like a small piece of wood, sighed deeply, and said with a little distress and annoyance: "The second master wants to come to the house to search for things, you just let him search, what kind of ability can you do, you little girl can stop those people?
Although the words were rushed, the concern in the words Rong Xia could hear it, her little heart immediately warmed up, and she was not uncomfortable, she struggled hard to get some red eyes, Rong Xia whispered: "Ah Xia will not be next time, young master, don't be angry." β
"What an unwitting one!" isn't it all rabbits who are smart, but this one in front of him is stupid and stupid.
Pei Jinzhi sighed again.
Half a month after Rong Xia recovered from his injuries, there was news from the house. said that the second master let people beat him, I heard that he was wearing a sack, pushed into the corner of the alley and beaten, the person who beat was blue nose and swollen face, and when he was carried back on a stretcher, the old lady almost didn't cry to death. After Rong Xia heard the news, a strange feeling of refreshment appeared in her heart, and she asked her to say that the second master is really not a good person, and it is better to stay away in the future~~~
Pei Jinzhi will go to the Hanlin Courtyard every day, and he will go to the East Palace once every three days, and his work is already on the right track, Rong Xia also started his own work plan after recuperating from his injury, Dingyang Hou Mansion covers a large area [Green Bamboo Xuan] and is located in the middle of nowhere, Rong Xia circled a vegetable field behind the bamboo forest, and dug out a small pond, and Rong Xia's ewe called Mianmian was also built a shack and lived there. Of course, the above Rong Xia is only responsible for the idea and supervision, the real construction is done by He An with people, Rong Xia is very grateful to him, and decided to make a good meal on the day of completion, to comfort everyone.
In this kind of hustle and bustle, the time came to the midsummer of June, and unconsciously Rong Xia's birthday came again. It's been a whole year since she came into this world.
On her birthday, her mother, Mrs. Li, specially boiled two eggs for her and made a bowl of longevity noodles.
Her father gave her a bag of flower seeds.
Rong Xia ate longevity noodles and eggs, carried the bag of flower seeds in his arms, and returned to [Green Bamboo Xuan] very happily.
"Have you heard? Master Hou has already set up a marriage for the second young master. β
"Yes, now it has been spread all over the house, saying that it is the daughter of Qiao Ge's hometown. β
"It is really suitable for the champion to marry the prime minister's daughter. β
"Talented and beautiful, perfect match. β
"Yes! I heard that the two sides have already agreed, and they will be hired next month, and after half a year, the second young grandmother will be able to enter the door. β
"Suspicious? Isn't this Miss Xiaoxia, why are you standing here?" Someone suddenly patted her.
Rong Xia's whole body trembled, and he suddenly came back to his senses.
Standing behind her was the second-class maid in the house, Jiuxiang.
"What's wrong with you, so pale and sick?" Jiuxiang frowned, raised her hand, and touched Rong Xia's forehead.
"I'm fine. Rong Xia shook her head, her heart was in turmoil now, and she just wanted to find a quiet place to stay by herself for a while.
Rong Xia returned to Luzhuxuan with vague steps, but happened to meet He An who came out of it.
"Brother He!" Rong Xia shouted.
"What's the matter with Miss Xiaoxia?" He An walked over quickly and asked very enthusiastically.
Rong Xia hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Brother He, I heard that the second young master is married, is it true?"
"Ah, you've heard about it, too. He An nodded very happily: "It's true! Our young master is about to marry a wife." β
It turned out that he was really going to get married.
I don't know why, Rong Xia felt that her heart suddenly began to throb, she frowned, and slammed her chest a few times.
"Miss Xiaoxia, what's wrong with you?, are you uncomfortable?" He An saw that her face was pale and uncomfortable, and immediately supported her with concern: "I'll call you a doctor." β
"No!" Rong Xia grabbed his sleeve and shook his head with difficulty: "Brother He, I'm fine, just take a rest." β
"Well, okay, then I'll help you in. "There is also Rong Xia's room here in Luzhuxuan, which is a small but very delicate room, He An sent her in, poured her a cup of tea, and left when he saw that her face was better.
Rong Xia lay on the bed and looked at the blue gauze tent on his head.
She didn't know what was wrong with her, how could she be so sad and uncomfortable, how good the second young master was to her, he should be happy to marry his wife, butβthe truth was that she wasn't happy at all, she was very uncomfortable, she felt so painful.
It hurts more than being kicked by the second master.
Rong Xia only lived to the age of 19 in her last life and died, her mother died early, she was a mute since she was a child, and her friends of the same age disliked her and didn't play with her, which developed Rong Xia's timid and inferior character, Rong Xia had never been in love, so she naturally didn't know why she was so painful at this time, and she didn't know that she gave her ignorant first love to Pei Jinzhi unconsciously.
It's a pity that this relationship is destined to have no results.
The flower in Rong Xia's heart has not yet opened, and it is about to die.
The pain may be the last howl of this short-lived flower when it withers.
