Second Master Pei disappeared in the Hou Mansion at a speed that no one could react to, of course, the explanation to the outside world was: The second master went to the beautiful Zhuangzi to "recuperate". In this regard, in addition to the old lady Shen's reluctance and worry, whether it is the second lady Zhao or some other masters in the mansion, they all feel that the second master is really necessary to recuperate.

You can go as long as you want!

In this way, spring went to autumn, and in the blink of an eye, another half a year passed.

Rong Xia also celebrated his fifteenth birthday.

Mrs. Li came back from Jinling's hometown with someone to hand over something, it was a gold necklace inlaid with opal, and it looked very valuable. Sister Bisi sent two unique silk horses to the south, by the way, the store that Li Niangzi said last time has been opened, it is a ready-to-wear store specializing in selling fabrics, Bisi is the main caretaker to operate, I heard that the business is also very good now.

As for Pei Jinzhi, he also gave something, it was an emerald green bamboo flute, it seemed that he should have made it himself, of course, although he was very happy to receive the gift, but Rong Xia, who had no musical bacteria at all, and didn't know any musical instruments at all, really found it difficult to understand his intention of giving his flute...... o(╯□╰)o

"Seasoning bags, warm water bags, bookcases, and a blanket...... Oh, and there are insect repellents...... "Rong Xia was busy sorting out everything like a little bee.

Pei Jinzhi leaned back in the chair, drank the steaming milk tea in his saliva, showed a dislike expression on his face, frowned and said, "A fishy smell!"

Rong Xia took the time to look at her in his busy schedule, and explained in a tone that you don't need to be so picky: "No, I added almonds to it when I boiled milk, and it wasn't fishy at all!"

Rong Xia once tried to make Pei Jinzhi drink goat's milk, but the other party didn't like it from beginning to end, so she now replaced goat's milk with cow's milk. After all, in her opinion, dairy products are easier for the body to absorb than most foods and have high nutritional value.

The heaviest thing is that it is particularly nourishing for the stomach.

Regarding Rong Xia's words, Pei Jinzhi showed an undeniable expression, although he was reluctant, but in the end he drank a glass of milk into his stomach.

"Actually, beef and mutton are very replenishing ......" Rong Xia handed him a praising look, and said in a verbose manner while sorting out the things at hand: "This hunt, the young master should be able to hunt a lot of wild things, you can also try it, whether it is barbecue or boiling broth, it is good!"

Rong Xia is actually quite worried.

The two heads of pork in the space have already been eaten in these years, and Pei Jinzhi can't accept other meats, except for eating the fish raised in the Luzhuxuan pool, he is about to become a vegetarian, such an unbalanced eating habit makes Rong Xia have to worry.

Pei Jinzhi listened to Rong Xia's words, smiled slightly, and did not make a sound. He sat there, looking at Rong Xia like a little bee in a leisurely manner, putting everything neatly and neatly, she was really good at doing this kind of thing, Pei Jinzhi remembered that when he participated in the township examination, most of the other students were carrying heavy boxes, and he went in with a basket, but the things that should be brought were not missing.

"Since you're so worried, why don't you go with the young master?" Pei Jinzhi deliberately teased her.

Rong Xia shook his head without hesitation. The Darui Dynasty had the habit of hunting in autumn, which was called autumn hunting. In fact, it is to enclose a large piece of land on the side of the royal ranch and put wild animals for people to hunt. Rong Xia thinks that this kind of hunting, which is similar to entertainment, is really a bit cruel, and it is just too close to it, and it is too bloody.

"There are too many people, so I won't join in the fun!" Rong Xia squinted his eyes and said with some embarrassment.

It's also blushing, Rong Xia really didn't expect that this skin would grow so beautiful in the future, that is, when she was grooming in the mirror, she would be stunned many times. Sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing for a woman to look good, especially if she is now living in a "man-ruled" society. It's light to be molested or something, and it's not unheard of in this dynasty when I saw the beauty taking it away directly. However, because Rong Xia is relatively timid, except for an occasional trip to the East Palace, the cat is in the Green Bamboo Pavilion, and even the Hou Mansion never wanders around, so he has no such worries.

Pei Jinzhi never understood this truth, Rong Xia was a treasure that he carefully treasured for a long time, and took care of it day by day, and it was a treasure he hid at home. During the autumn hunting, the fish and dragons were mixed, that is, Rong Xia himself Zhang Luo wanted to go, and Pei Jinzhi was unwilling.

"The young master hunted a silver fox for Ah Xia and came back, and shaved the skin to make a scarf. ”

Wouldn't that be too "fashionable"!

Rong Xia smiled, and didn't know why there was a little bit of beauty in his heart.

Pei Jinzhi left the next day, and this autumn hunt lasted for forty days, which meant that Rong Xia couldn't see him for nearly forty days.

"Second Master go slowly!" Qiao Sulan stood at the gate of the Hou Mansion and saluted with a very nervous expression.

Pei Jinzhi rode on the horse and gave a faint sigh.

Looking at his back as he gradually moved away, Qiao Sulan showed a slightly relieved expression on her face. It wasn't until she couldn't see anyone anymore that she turned around, but at this moment she unexpectedly saw a slender figure in the distance, the figure was on tiptoe, looking far away, looking in the direction of her husband's departure.

In an instant, a breath of evil breath that was uncontrollable rose in Qiao Sulan's heart, and she remembered what Pei Jinzhi had said to herself that day.

"The concubine has not been pregnant for a long time, and she is really ashamed of her love for her husband, and her heart is difficult day and night. That day, under the faint candle flame, she had tears in her eyes, but her face was full of suppleness and virtue: "The scarlet child I married over has a beautiful face and good manners, if the husband can see it, the concubine will be the master, give her a face, and be promoted to a concubine, and the concubine will treat her like a sister in the future, and if she gives birth to a child in the future, she will definitely take her like a parent." I don't know what my husband wants?"

Looking at Pei Jinzhi's eyes, at that moment, Qiao Sulan didn't know what answer she wanted to hear from him. both hoped that she would categorically refuse for herself, and hoped that he would accept a concubine to share the pressure, which was really sad. However, Pei Jinzhi's next words easily shattered her wishful thinking.

"Scarlet?" Pei Jinzhi's voice had a hint of playfulness: "Who is that?"

"My husband has also seen it, and it is ...... in my room"

"Madame wants me to take a concubine?"

Qiao Sulan smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "The concubine is incompetent, and she only hopes that there will be a few more sisters in the family to extend the heirs for her husband." ”

Pei Jinzhi looked at her fixedly for a moment, and said very undeniably: "Madame is virtuous." ”

"This is what a concubine should do. Husband, you ......"

"Since it was proposed by the lady, it is not easy for the husband to refute your face. Pei Jinzhi lightly interrupted Qiao Sulan's unspoken words: "It's okay to take a concubine, but that scarlet is not to my liking." ”

Qiao Sulan's heart sank: "What does the husband mean?"

"What do I mean, don't you understand?" Pei Jinzhi smiled, there was a hint of ridicule in it, as if he was laughing at Qiao Sulan and pretending to be confused: "Rong Xia of Luzhuxuan has served me for many years, which is very much in line with my heart, and I intend to accept her as a concubine." ”

After all these years, he still said it!

At this moment, Qiao Sulan's heart was cold. She took a deep breath, and her sharp fingertips clasped in the palm of her hand, almost able to pierce the delicate skin: "Miss Rong Xia has served her husband for many years, and she is well-behaved, and she is also an excellent candidate." Husband, look at the concubine's body, why didn't you think of her? Alas! It's all because of the childish impression she left on the concubine when we met for the first time, and this leaked out of the past, and the husband should not blame her, if you like her, then the concubine's side will handle it, and ensure that she has enough face. ”

"Madame, I have always been relieved of my affairs. Pei Jinzhi smiled: "There is no rush in advance, and it will not be too late to do it after today's autumn hunt." ”

Qiao Sulan smiled reluctantly, nodded very softly, and said, "Listen to your husband!"

Don't you listen?

Qiao Sulan remembered the few people in her yard who were missing for no reason. They are all informants related to Second Master Pei's matter, and they disappeared "for no reason", and now Qiao Sulan doesn't know where they went.

"Madam......" Jiang Pei cried out worriedly, her recent life has not been very good, and everyone has lost a lot of weight.

Qiao Sulan couldn't bear to glare at the figure viciously, and sneered: "It's okay, let's go back!"

Now that you're unidentified, I can't reach you. When he became a concubine...... Qiao Sulan smiled coldly, at that time, she wanted this fox to understand, what is a mastermother, what is a concubine, what is humble, and what is life is better than death.

Rong Xia exhaled deeply, like a frightened little mouse, wiping the cold sweat from his head. The second young grandmother must have been looking at her just now! That look was really terrifying, if you could describe it in words, it would probably be disgust, hatred, and a look like she had seen something disgusting and dirty.

Rong Xia felt a little scared and a little frustrated.

In fact, she really wanted to please the second young grandmother.

However, the second young grandmother has never liked her very much, and Rong Xia is stupid and doesn't know how to please people.

As a result, the second young grandmother seemed to dislike her even more.

After Pei Jinzhi left, Rong Xia lived a fearful life for a few days, and gradually settled down after finding that there was nothing wrong, except for occasionally thinking about Pei Jin, but the days were no different from usual. On this day, the weather was very cheerful, but a carriage came from the East Palace, and the crown princess summoned Rong Xia to meet him.
