Houmen maidservant, she doesn't want to be in power

Chapter 14 Family Dinner
A picture popped up in Second Master Qi's mind.

At that time, like now, he didn't like love, and he didn't like women who were close to him.I still remember that once, on a whim, he wanted to go to the covered bridge to take an afternoon nap, but he didn't realize it, but he heard the cry of a little maid.

The little maid was carrying a bamboo basket, and the watermelon in the basket was smashed to pieces by her.He was a little helpless by the noise, and was about to go out to reprimand the little maid, when he heard a spring-like voice around the little maid, "Your watermelon is broken~"

A thought flashed in his mind, this woman was probably here to see the little maid's joke.But when she listened carefully, the woman patiently wiped away the tears of the little maid, and at the same time took on the task of delivering watermelon to herself.

That kind of tenderness and meticulousness was an emotion he had never experienced before. For a while, it was fresh and curious.

Hearing that the watermelon was given to him, he couldn't help but wonder, how does this woman want to get away with it in front of him?

So, he couldn't wait to go back to Qingfengyuan, waiting for this woman to come to her door.

He waited and waited until the sun went down, but he didn't see the woman.His heart also gradually cooled down, and there was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth. Tomorrow, he would go to his mother to ask about the watermelon. One or two little maids, don't even think about getting good fruit!
However, just as he got up from the Arhat couch, Shi Mo led her in.

In her hand was a crystal glazed jug, the body of which was multi-faceted and angular. Against the backdrop of the candlelight, with the watermelon juice inside, it reflected colorful light, like mellow wine, it seduced him. soul.

At that time, she was still a little maid in the third lady's courtyard, just like now, gentle and caring, and she was very careful to let him taste the jug of cool watermelon juice.

He wanted to expose her, or refuse the glass of watermelon juice, but looking at her expectant eyes, and at her delicate white hand holding the crystal glass pot, he took the crystal glass pot like a ghost.

From now on, I can't get out...

"Second Master, the watermelon is here." Shi Jin's words interrupted Qi Mojing's thoughts.

He turned his head and saw Shi Jin walking in with an open white porcelain lotus moonlight cup.The little servant girl walked up to him, knelt down, and raised up the lotus moon cup as if offering a treasure.

I saw bright red and lovely watermelon balls surrounded by white and pink porcelain lotus petals.Each watermelon ball is the same size, bustling together, with a bright white surrounding, more colorful.

His gaze climbed up from Shi Jin's hand holding the white porcelain lotus flower moon cup, and concentrated bit by bit on her lips, which were as tender as spring flowers in March.

Inexplicably, she thought of that box of bright lip balm, if she put it on, maybe it would be the same color as the watermelon balls in the lotus moon cup?

No, that's a brighter color than watermelon. Just thinking about it makes me feel like my heart is on fire.

Shi Jin's hands trembled slightly, and his lips pursed slightly.The place where the second master's gaze swept over was slightly hot, making her afraid to move as if she was sitting on pins and needles.

After a long time, she heard him say, "Come and feed me."

Shi Jin suddenly raised his head in disbelief, but saw that Second Master Qi's face was still as indifferent as before.His eyes were calm with a little deepness, making Shi Jin dare not open his beak.

She stretched out her hand tremblingly, pinched the delicate little spoon beside the cup with her right hand, scooped up a watermelon ball, and handed it to Second Master's lips.

The second master only looked at her with the corners of his lips curled up, without opening his mouth.She could only speak softly, "Second Master, open your mouth."

The man in front of him opened his lips slightly obediently, and took the watermelon ball in his mouth, but bit the spoon with his teeth refusing to relax.

His slightly upturned eyes were dyed a little red, making him look a little more bewitching, he only gave Shi Jin a sideways look, and Shi Jin's mouth became parched in an instant.

She naturally knew that the second master was good-looking, and he was the most free-spirited and handsome young man she had seen in the 17 years of her life.However, this gentleman has a cold temper, which makes people avoid him for fear of being late.It happened that he showed such an expression at this moment, Shi Jin was dazzled, but also a little frightened.

"Second Master, let go." Her face was slightly red.

However, in the next second, Second Master Qi's face became visibly cold, "Get out."

Shi Jin was startled, and hurriedly took back the small spoon, put the white porcelain lotus moonlight cup on the small table beside him, and walked out as if fleeing for his life.

Second Master Qi's face darkened even more.

As soon as Shi Jin stepped out the door, he heard a clang behind him, and the white porcelain cup was swept to the ground, and the bright red watermelon balls rolled all over the ground.

"...pretending to be smart." He whispered.

June twenty-nine.

Hou's family banquet.

Early in the morning, Siqi asked Aunt Zhao to make glutinous glutinous rice balls and charcoal-grilled venison, and sent them to the old lady's Rong'an Hall as soon as possible, as the second master's filial piety.

The venison was bought by the second master from Orion. It is a young deer under one year old. The meat is tender and smooth, with a good taste.The deerskin was considered by Siqi and Shi Jin to make the lining of the second master's boots. It is soft and comfortable, and can be worn out when the weather is cold.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Siqi returned home early in the morning, and before leaving, he asked Zhihua and Shijin to take care of the second master.Shi Jin promised that when the second master went out, she and Zhi Hua would lead the way for the second master with a lantern.

The area of ​​the Jing'an Hou Mansion is actively expanding. It is said that it was repaired by the former royal mansion, and it was specially bestowed on the old Hou Ye to show the favor of the present.

Shi Jin was holding a wind lantern with eight faces and exquisite wind, and walking slowly, it reflected the shadows of people and the sparse flowers and trees.Erye’s Qingfeng Courtyard was originally in the corner of the Hou’s Mansion. Along the way, there are many flowers on the corridor bridge, over the flower trellis, stepping on the green stone, through the rockery, climbing the hill, and blowing the weeping willow.

Shengjing and Zhijiao were dizzying.

Rao Shi Jin walked around the Hou's Mansion a few times, walking at night, still feeling anxious.Fortunately, there is Zhihua around to give some advice, so there is no danger.

Walking along the way, the closer you get to Rong'an Hall, the more maids and servants, the voices gradually become thicker, and the words of laughter and jokes are also very different from the tranquility of Qingfengyuan in the usual days.

Wherever Shi Jin passed by, the maids and servants around her kept silent, it was obvious that Second Master Qi was especially afraid.Passing through the courtyard where the pine trees and potted plants are stretching for longevity, and then stepping onto the corner of the corridor, there have been maids rushing to the main hall long ago, and Tete reported back to the old lady to know.

When we got to the door of the main hall, Tan Xiang, the capable maidservant of the old lady, opened the green gauze anti-mosquito curtain and welcomed the second master into the room with a smile.

Naturally, Shi Jin and Zhi Hua didn't have that face to go in.Sending the second master into the room, she glanced casually, and saw that the old lady and the uncle's family had already been sitting at the reunion table in the main hall.The uncle's two aunts stood behind the old lady and the other stood behind the old lady, with a respectful and filial look on their faces.

Zhihua can breathe a little bit now, she was already acquainted with Lianxiang's servant girl in Rong'an Hall, when she was free, she and Lianxiang would lean into their heads and mutter together, hiding in a corner of the corridor and talking cheerfully.

Holding the lantern, Shi Jin didn't know what to do, so he heard a surprised voice calling her "sister".When Shi Jin turned his head, he saw Yuan'er, the little maid, looking up at him longingly.

Seeing Yuan'er again, Shi Jin was also very happy, she couldn't help touching the horns on Yuan'er's head, and asked her with a smile, "How is Yuan'er these days?"

"Yeah, Yuan'er is fine." Yuan'er led Shi Jin to the side room where the sundries were kept in the corner of the yard to rest.The entrance to the main room can be seen from the side room, so it doesn't prevent her from waiting for the second master, so Shi Jin can sit down and talk to Yuan'er at ease.

She hung the dead wind lamp on a loom piled up in the ear room, and the whole ear room was brightened accordingly.

Yuan'er hesitated for a while, and finally asked her, "Sister... last time, Second Master didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
