Chapter Seventy-Six: The Strength and Weakness of Self-Control

The sun hadn't completely set, and the show garden was already lit up.

Zhizhi fed the child and called the nurse: "You play with the child for a while, and when he is sleepy, you will coax him to sleep." ”

The nurse should be.

Zhizhi entered the room, took off her clothes with a faint milky smell with a disgusted face, resisted the urge to bathe immediately, and changed into a set of aqua blue dresses.

The child is so annoying!

She kindly fed him milk, and it was not uncommon for him to spit on her body and stain her clothes. She hugged him and teased him, and it was possible to be pulled by him, stinking, and unbearable!

The most annoying thing is that he doesn't understand anything, he cries when he's hungry, he cries when he's uncomfortable, he can't stop his mouth when he eats, and he doesn't listen at all when he coaxes him to stop!

If he wasn't the child she had worked so hard to give birth to......

No, even if he was born to her, if it weren't for the nurse and maid to take care of him, she would definitely be annoyed by him and throw him away in a rage!

Zhizhi looked at the unhappy woman in the mirror, sorted out her appearance, and went to the main courtyard with an expressionless face.

Now, the main courtyard is where "Pei Xiangrong" lives, and there are only six servants in the courtyard. They were all forbidden by Pei Xiangrong, life and death were all in his thoughts, and he trusted him more than Pei Ruxi and Liang Jianan, and the six of them should be able to kill the "Pei Xiangrong" who had no cultivation.

The hall is located in the middle of the main courtyard, the window is open, "Pei Xiangrong" stands in front of the window, looking at the gorgeous red glow in the sky, there is no smile on his face, and he looks a little lonely.

Suddenly, he noticed Zhizhi, his expression and gaze became vivid, and he happily walked through the window to greet Zhizhi: "You haven't come to see me for two days, I miss you very much!"

"I'll go to the study first. "Zhizhi didn't come to find "Pei Xiangrong".

She left "Pei Xiangrong", opened the door of the study, and looked at the copper tree used to receive the messenger. There were two new messengers there, one from the Thirteenth Uncle and the other from the Patriarch.

The thirteenth uncle said that there were many things in the instrument workshop, and he and another refiner were too busy to do so, so he asked Pei Xiangrong to persuade Liang Jiannan to return to the instrument workshop to help refine the weapon.

The patriarch said that Liang Jiannan was the refiner of the Pei clan, and he couldn't waste time at home, but wanted to refine weapons for the clan.

"Tsk, don't give the horses grazing, and you still want the horses to run fast? Zhizhi knew the reason why Liang Jiannan didn't go to the instrument shop, so she threw away the two messengers and pretended not to see it.

Anyway, Pei Xiangrong is in retreat to remove poison, and he has no time to pay attention to miscellaneous matters.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhizhi walked out of the study and was picked up and lifted up by "Pei Xiangrong" who had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Put me down!"

Zhizhi didn't like to be picked up and lifted in circles, as soon as her feet left the ground, she slapped "Pei Xiangrong" in the face with her backhand, "I'm not crippled, don't hug me!"

"Zhizhi. He looked up at her, his handsome face was aggrieved, his eyes were focused, and his voice was low and pleasant, "Can you have dinner with me today?"

“......”

Zhizhi propped himself on his shoulders and thought, "My body is so good-looking."

She touched the handsome face that had just been slapped with pity, and said, "It seems to be heavy, does it hurt?"

Pei Xiangrong said: "When others beat me, I'm afraid of pain." You hit me, and I don't feel any pain at all. ”

He let her down, held her hand tightly, and said, "Zhizhi, I want you to have dinner with me." ”

Zhizhi thought of Pei Ruxi and Liang Jianan, and felt that they wouldn't mind having a meal in the main courtyard, so she said, "Yes." ”

"Pei Xiangrong" smiled like a flower, and asked inch by inch: "Stay after eating?"

"This won't work...... Zhizhi hesitated.

"Then, let's have dinner later?" Pei Xiangrong whispered to her, bewitching her like the charm of a demagogic scholar in a book, "If you don't stay overnight, Madame won't find anything wrong and won't suspect you." ”

"But I'm ......" Zhizhi's heart was about to move, and her sober mind made her hesitate.

"Don't tell me but, don't tell me you can't. You think, I think, let's go inside. Pei Xiangrong said.

He pulled her into the house.

......

......

In the hall of the north courtyard, four maids walked in, and they quietly and quickly placed the dinner on the small dining table four feet long and two feet wide, and quietly retreated.

Liang Jiannan sat at the other end of the dining table, with three dishes, a soup and a bowl of rice in front of him; Pei Ruxi sat at the other end of the dining table with the damp water vapor after bathing, only a bowl of simple porridge and a plate of small dishes pickled with spiritual fruits, but the porridge was boiled with first-order spiritual rice, and the spiritual fruit was also first-order.

The old ancestor asked the Pei clan to provide Pei Ruxi with spiritual food, and the Pei clan did not dare to disobey due to the prestige accumulated by the old ancestor over the years.

The cheapest first-order spirit rice is ninety spirit coins a catty, Pei Ruxi eats thirteen catties of rice a month, plus green vegetables, meat, fish and other ingredients, the clan spends an average of thirty spirit stones per month as her food expenses. Pei Jinfan wanted to save this expenditure, and the patriarch also wanted to save it, but because of the reasons of the ancestors, they couldn't save it, so they could only make up for the thirty spirit stones in other ways, such as:

Asked Pei Ruxi to raise fish.

Pei Ruxi ate the spiritual food of the clan and was very willing to contribute to the clan.

But the remuneration for fish farming is too low, and the clan's attitude towards the clansmen is like that of a landlord to long-term laborers, and she does not like such a harsh clan.

"In the past. ”

Liang Jiannan saw Pei Ruxi looking at the porridge and said, "You have taught the daughter of the patriarch of the Lin clan a lesson, and you have taught the children of the Lin clan, the patriarch of the Lin clan may be angry." ”

Pei Ruxi came back to his senses and replied: "This is a contradiction between children, if Lin Liu's father or the Lin clan are looking for trouble, I will ask the ancestor to come out." He values me and will not sit idly by and watch me being bullied by the Lin clan or the Lin clan chief. ”

Liang Jiannan believed in her daughter's judgment, put her mind at ease, and said, "The date for entering the mountain to hunt demon beasts is set for the third day of the next month, how are you prepared?"

Pei Ruxi said: "My storage bag may be a little small and can't hold much. ”

Liang Jiannan picked up a piece of meat and said without thinking: "Use your father's storage bag." He's at home and doesn't need a storage bag. ”

Pei Ruxi: "Hmm." ”

Liang Jiannan ate the meat and said a good news: "In the past, I have made all the three puppet dolls you want, and I will give you after eating." ”

"So fast, thank you, Auntie!" Pei Ruxi suddenly smiled, and the speed of eating accelerated.

"Don't worry, no one is stealing the doll from you. Liang Jiannan smiled, "I'll give you a doll, don't you want to lose your mind." ”

"Well, A-Niang, please believe me. Pei Ruxi is confident in her self-control.

It didn't take long for Pei Ruxi to see the puppet doll.

The three dolls are almost made in the same way as real people, with one-tenth the height of real people, with warm skin and beating hearts, wearing delicate little clothes, running around the table, jumping, laughing and crying, not talking or shouting, and not being able to shed tears or eat.

Pei Ruxi couldn't put it down, played with them for half a quarter of an hour, resisted the idea of continuing to play, put them in a crystal box, and carefully arranged dust avoidance techniques to prevent them from being soiled by dust.

She went to the fish pond to feed the fish as usual, and halfway through the feeding, a summons flew in, asking her to hurry to the hall of the ancestral hall, where the patriarch, the third uncle, the fourth uncle and other elders were waiting for her.
