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

Chapter 143 Going to Beijing to Catch the Exam Cui Xiucai

Shi Jin was startled, then embarrassed.

She almost ran away, and when she heard the second master's voice, she didn't care about holding the piano, and ran faster than rabbits with her pile of things.

When Second Master came out from behind the flower stand, he saw a Baoqin whose face was paler than rice paper, how could there be half of Shi Jin?
"Second, Second Master..." Baoqin's legs softened, and he knelt down in fright on the spot.

The second master narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling extremely bored even looking at her, and his voice became cold, "It's time to tell mother and clean up the maids in the yard."

With a "bang", Baoqin's mind seemed to explode, and he looked at the second master in disbelief.

This is the coldest and most aloof second master in the entire Hou Mansion. Even if he is not happy at all, he can cut off the lives of others!

It's just that she didn't have time to tell the difference, the second master had already passed her, heading towards the direction Shi Jin left.
.
Shi Jin might as well be self-willed once in a while, and was listened to by the second master, so he felt a little restless at the moment.

After thinking about it, she straightly put the remaining bag of snacks on a plate, and Tete took it to the main room.

After waiting around the main room for a while, but seeing the Second Master nowhere to be seen, Shi Jin thought that the Second Master might not be back yet.

She was the only one who put the plate on the small table on the Arhat's couch, when someone hugged her from behind.

The cold fragrance made her mind stagnate, and the second master's voice came into her ears with a bit of laziness and ridicule, "How are you doing today?"

After saying this, he paused for a while, and added, "...My, aunt?"

Shi Jin was still maintaining his composure, but now that he was being teased by the second master, his face was really red, his heart was beating like a drum, and his face was completely lost.

She bit her lip lightly, squinted at him, knowing that he used to like to push his feet, so she suppressed her shame and pushed back, "I'm having a good time today,...Uncle."

The second master's breath stagnates, and in an instant he smiled sullenly in his chest, "Compared to the title of grandpa, I prefer you to call me brother Chengxian, or you can call me second uncle after the younger generation..."

When he said this, it was obvious that he had some malicious intentions when he was a child, and Shi Jin gagged his mouth with taro cake, and then he stopped.

Shi Jin didn't want to argue with him on this topic, so he only told Second Master what he had seen and heard during the day.

Afraid that the vinegar jar would be angry, she downplayed Cui Xiucai's recent return to Beijing for the exam.

After finishing talking about the inn arranged for Cui Xiucai, the whole main room suddenly became quiet.

The second master seemed to be deliberating, tapped his fingers on the table, and then glanced at Shi Jin, "...that's fine, after all, in terms of future, he is also half of my brother-in-law."

As soon as these words came out, Shi Jin glared at him again, she really couldn't get ivory out of Second Master's mouth, she really overestimated him.

The plan has been made, the second master naturally works and rests as usual, only at night, when Shi Jin bullied him so much that he called many second uncles, he didn't give up.
.
It is not advisable to touch needles and threads in the first month.

Although Shi Jin had prepared the materials, but considering the care of the old people, he finally let it go beforehand.

She didn't cut the cloth until the first month was out, and Cui Xiucai rushed to Beijing before she could clean it up.

What Shi Jinbei left was a Yuelai restaurant on the west side of the Gongyuan, and the daily rent was two hundred yuan, let alone food and drink.

But for scholars, this happens only once every three years, so naturally they should be more cautious.

Cui Xiu only got rid of his clothes in October last year, if it wasn't for Jia Enke this year, he might have to wait another three years.

Because Shi Jin was very cautious about this encounter, Tete took a leave of absence from the Hou Mansion, took Cui Xiucai with him to recognize his connections, and arranged meals for the whole journey, so he was relieved.

Right now, it's only the fourth day of February, and there are still five days before the exam starts.Seeing Shi Jin busy before and after, he also felt some gratitude in his heart, and said to Shi Jin, "Don't be busy, it's not easy to bother you with such small things."

Shi Jin also laughed, "I know my cousin has outstanding literary talents and the ambition to serve the country, so this time in Chunwei, he must go to high school."

Although there is encouragement in it, Cui Xiucai is delighted to hear it.

He didn't hide it at the moment, "Everything was fine in the Shen Mansion back then, so don't worry. The Shen family advanced another 20 taels of silver to me for the scientific examination this year, and it will be safe until the scientific examination is over."

"That's why you should be more careful." Shi Jin took a few more sachets wrapped in fragrant pills and gave them to him, and immediately pointed out to him, "This green sachet contains herbs for clearing the mind and eyes. With it, you will wake up when you are reading and writing articles. This red sachet contains medicine to prevent dysentery and abdominal pain, so as not to eat unclean food and make your body uncomfortable; there is also this one, which protects the liver and nourishes the stomach. I remember that my cousin has a bad spleen and stomach, so it should be good to use..."

She asked him carefully, her eyebrows were serious when she spoke.

The sachets were all standard sachets in the Hou's mansion, Shi Jin didn't dare to sew them himself because he was concerned about the petty nature of the second master.

Cui Xiucai was very grateful for this thoughtfulness.He looked down at her, and took the bunch of colorful sachets, "Cousin is working hard, I will keep all these in mind, don't worry. Only cousin, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Shi Jin froze for a moment, not knowing what else to say.

Cui Xiucai laughed a little bit, "If I go to high school this time, I will be a son, and I will have the capital to be an official. Shi Jin, although a son does not sound as noble as the prince of the Hou family, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Jin turned around, wiped the corners of his eyes lightly, "Cousin, keep quiet."

She turned around again, with the corners of her mouth curled up, with a cheerful expression on her face, "I'm having a good time in the Hou's Mansion, really, cousin, don't worry."

Cui Xiucai squeezed the hand behind her back hard, and then gradually let go.There was a gentle smile on his straight and thin face, "It's not urgent. If you want, I will ask the master's family to redeem you. It's okay. I was my younger brother at that time, so why not you?" Not my sister."

His words were too touching, Shi Jin nodded, "Well, I am also protected by my family."

The two of them stopped talking, and together they ordered a bowl of sliced ​​noodles with poached eggs in a restaurant outside the inn, and sat opposite each other to finish eating.

After confirming that Cui Xiucai had nothing to worry about, Shi Jin bid farewell to her and headed straight back.

As soon as Shi Jin left here, Zhang Xiucai who lived next door poked his head out, "Brother Xuzhang, is that your sister?"

Cui Xiucai glanced at him, "Cousin."

"Oh~ Cousin," Zhang Xiucai's eyes lit up when he saw the exquisite purse on his waist, with a faint herbal smell, "Huh? Your purse is not bad, why? It's a gift from my cousin?"

Seeing that Cui Xiucai ignored him, the Xiucai couldn't help sighing, "Hey! So I also have a cousin who knows pain and heat, but my mother didn't agree with us, so she was wronged and married to Xiahegou Village! Really! Really, it's a living mandarin duck that has been dismantled to pieces. You should cherish it!"

Cui Xiucai lowered her eyebrows, paused her hand resting on the door panel, and pushed the door open again firmly.
