The woman who appeared in the center of the mirror was undoubtedly an extremely beautiful woman, but seeing that her skin was as clear as jade, and her pink clothes added a bit of sweetness to her, and at this time, the woman's eyes looked up at her bun, but she saw a butterfly-shaped delicate step with a tassel diagonally inserted there.

Rong Xia pursed his mouth, and subconsciously wanted to pull this step off his head. Suddenly, a large hand with distinct knots reached over and stopped Rong Xia's movements.

"Don't like it?" Pei Jinzhi stood behind Rong Xia, lowered his head slightly, and the breath he exhaled sprayed on Rong Xia's neck and shoulders, hot, very hot.

"It's too precious. Rong Xia moved her body uncomfortably, the two of them were too close.

"I designed it myself. Pei Jinzhi said.

When Rong Xia heard this, a torrent instantly surged in his heart, he was very moved and very happy, but there was a faint sourness in so many feelings.

"Does Ah Xia like it?" Pei Jinzhi lowered his head and asked lightly in Rong Xia's ear.

Rong Xia nodded and said very seriously: "I like it, it's beautiful." ”

"That's good. Ah Xia was happy if he liked the young master. ”

He stood behind Rong Xia, unconsciously as if he was hugging her from behind, Rong Xia's back was tightly pressed against his chest, and his burning breath kept coming from his ears, shyness and embarrassment instantly hit Rong Xia's heart, making her completely unsure of what to do at this moment. The two of them hugged quietly like this, and I don't know how long later, there was a sudden exclamation at the door, Rong Xia came back to his senses, and hurriedly fled from Pei Jinzhi's arms in a panic.

"What's wrong?" she blushed, barely daring to look into Jinhua's eyes.

"If you go back to your master, the tenant farmers at home have come to pay you a New Year's greeting. Jin Hua probably also knew that she came in at the wrong time, and she was afraid that her master would be angry, so she was extra cautious when she spoke now.

"Oh, I see, it's over. Rong Xia lowered his head and left without looking back.

In the jet-black hair, the slightly trembling butterfly swayed gently, as if it was about to spread its wings and fly in the sunlight.

Handle the affairs of the tenant farmers, and send out more than ten red envelopes, Rong Xia did not rush back to the house but went to the kitchen, personally prepared the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, accompanied by the sound of artillery and the joy of children outside the window from time to time, time passed quickly, Rong Xia made a table of delicious meals. In addition to the year in Jinling, this is the second time that Rong Xia can spend it with Pei Jinzhi on Chinese New Year's Eve.

"I wish you a prosperous New Year and all the best. Rong Xia pursed his mouth with a wine glass, looking a little nervous.

Pei Jinzhi smiled faintly, and drank it all in a face-saving way: "Happy New Year." ”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After Chinese New Year's Eve, the next is the Lantern Festival of the fifteenth.

Pei Jinzhi told her that this year's Wan'an County would hold a lantern exhibition and invited Rong Xia to participate. Rong Xia was naturally very happy about this mentions, and the next day he changed into neat clothes and walked towards the county government with gold and silver flowers. When they arrived, it was still daytime, Pei Jinzhi was still working as the county magistrate, and Rong Xia went to the back office first to wait.

Jiuxiang had been waiting for her at the door for a long time when she heard the news, and as soon as she entered the house and spoke for a while, there was a noise at the door, and Rong Xia asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Jiuxiang listened attentively for a few breaths, her face turned dark, and she said angrily: "It's Scarlet's little hooves who are making trouble, she must be coming for you." ”

Rong Xia's face stiffened when he heard this, and he trembled: "I said that you have already found a mother-in-law for these two?"

"Well, in fact, the candidates have already been decided, but it is just in time for the New Year, otherwise the two of them would have been sent out. ”

"What kind of people are they?"

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes to spoil people. Baizhi is married to the shopkeeper of a local cloth shop, although it is a continuation, but the shopkeeper has only one girl, and she is not too old. She was the boss lady when she got married, and she couldn't suffer much. As for that Scarlet, she is not an honest person, it is better to find a distant in-law, but the family she married is also a local rich peasant family, and she does not have to worry about food and clothing. ”

"Are the two of them willing?" asked Rong Xia with some concern.

"What if you want to, what if you don't want to. Jiuxiang waved her hand and was about to stand up: "I'll go and send the two of them away." ”

Rong Xia hesitated for a moment and didn't stop it, deep down she didn't want to see those two.

"I just heard that Aunt Rong is here, so I came over to say goodbye. Why should Sister-in-law He be so guarded?" Scarlet Er curled the hair around her ears, and said in a good voice: "Anyway, we can't stay here for a few days, everyone is from the capital, just because of this fate, she should also see us!"

Jiuxiang looked her up and down for a few moments, groaned slightly, and felt that the two of them couldn't make any trouble now, so she said: "I can't see the two of you, I have to see what Aunt Rong means, wait here!"

"It's good to see them, they go out and climb around, but it will ruin your reputation. ”

Rong Xia didn't care about anything that was famous or not, she didn't have that kind of thing in the first place. But she still nodded: "Okay, let's see you." ”

Seeing these two again after such a long time, Rong Xia couldn't help but be slightly surprised. Scarlet and Baizhi looked a lot thinner and haggard, especially Baizhi's whole person was empty, and he was almost out of shape. Scarlet is also very bad, and there is a yin flag between her eyebrows.

Rong Xia looked at the two, and the two of them didn't look at her.

I saw the woman sitting on the main seat, green silk like a waterfall, her face was pink and delicate, a pair of eyes looked forward to the slight flow of God, as if there was a stream of water surging by, and the cherry-like mouth, always slightly upturned, making her whole person more soft and amiable, this woman who looked happy and serene from head to toe from the inside to the outside, where is still the little girl who is only in memory. Scarlet's hands clenched tightly behind her, even though she told Sù in her heart to be patient, however, the hatred and jealousy still made her scratch her heart and lungs, and she wanted to pounce and scratch her foxy face. It's all her, it's all her, it's all her!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if it's not her, how can the second master not want himself!!

"I haven't seen you for many days, Aunt Rong is really good-looking. Scarlet didn't salute either, sat on the chair next to her, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "It seems that the second master loves you very much!"

No matter how simple Rong Xia is, but at this time, he can't show weakness. She didn't need to say anything, just sat there and smiled at Scarlet, her smile was very beautiful and cute, but when she entered Scarlet's eyes, she was proud and coquettish, as if to say that the second master just likes me, doesn't like you, what can you do with me. The scarlet here looked at Rong Xia like a cross-eyed, but Baizhi over there was panicked, she opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but when she looked at Jiuxiang on the side, her heart was sudden, and she didn't dare to say more.

"Speaking of which, counting the days, our second young grandmother seems to be about to give birth......" Fei'er had a bad anger in her heart, and the words she said were particularly ugly: "Our grandmother is gentle and graceful, smart and clever, and the second master has always been Qin Se and Ming, the husband and wife are deeply affectionate, and she is the most blessed person." This time, he will definitely be able to win a man in one fell swoop and continue the incense for the second master. Aunt Rong, do you think I'm right?"

Rong Xia blinked, and showed a silly and sweet smile with some embarrassment.

"Of course Miss Scarlet is right!" she nodded affirmatively, and added another sentence when Scarlet Er showed her proud cousin: "It is a happy event for the young grandmother to give birth to a child, and it is also a happy event for the two of you to get married, and I may not be able to be present in person when you get married, so I wish you a happy marriage and an early birth of a precious son!" What kind of family did that slut of the He Chang family find for her? In the remote mountains, a rough man who can't read a single word can work all his life facing the loess with his back to the sky? She was born in a lifetime to enjoy happiness and live a good life, and she is the woman of the second master, and no one can change this.

"Thank you Aunt Rong for your blessings. Scarlet's cheeks were shaking violently, and a smile on her face was even uglier than crying, she said: "It's rare for my sister to come back here today, Baizhi and I specially prepared a table of noodles, and invited my sister to enjoy it!"

Rong Xia said embarrassedly: "The second master said that he would take me to the street to see the lanterns at night, but I am afraid that I will not be able to go." ”

"What's this, when you and the second master come back, let's have another banquet, just as a supper. ”

Rong Xia showed an undeniable expression, and did not say on the spot whether it was okay or not.

When Pei Jinzhi came back, it was already completely dark.

He didn't enter the house either, and directly asked Rong Xia to come out, and the two of them went directly to the place where the lantern exhibition was held in a carriage.

This is the first time Wan'an County held a lantern exhibition, needless to say that this must also be the exhibition planned by Pei Jinzhi, in addition to the daily market in the county, where there has been such a large and lively scene, is that the street at this time is already crowded with people, many people drag their families with their mouths, and come to the street happily. Rong Xia noticed that there would be headcatchers patrolling the street from time to time, which should be to prevent Xiaoxiao from maintaining law and order, this time, every other distance, Rong Xia also saw a specially set up fire well, and sure enough, it was Pei Jinzhi, who was as careful as a hair, and all aspects were very thoughtful.
