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

Chapter 18 Storytelling

Shi Jin was so frightened that he couldn't breathe, he yelled "Brother" and rushed towards the big stone.

Cui Xiucai was also taken aback, and chased after her.

However, the two of them were far away from Shi Nian, and saw that Shi Nian's body was tilted and he was about to fall into the water.

Naturally, Qi Tianyi also heard Shi Jin's gut-wrenching shout, and when the corner of his eyes swept over to the boy, he moved and grabbed Shi Nian's sleeve in a few steps.

Carrying Shi Nian ashore like a chicken, Shi Jin also roared towards him.

There was still fear in her eyes, and faint tears flashed, but she was so angry that she shook her hands and patted Shi Nian's butt, "I told you not to go to the river, but you didn't listen! You didn't listen!"

Shi Nian was also so frightened that he cried, holding Shi Jin and not letting go, "The straw grasshopper fell into the river, I just want to pick it up..."

A group of people turned their backs on their backs, but Qi Tianyi quietly turned and left.

When Shi Jin remembered that he had to thank the Second Young Master, he saw that the table by the river bank had already been replaced by another table.

Shi Jin had no intention of eating wontons, and dragged Shi Nian home with a dark face.

Cui Xiucai asked the owner of the wonton stall to serve two bowls of wonton, paid for it, and then went home with two bowls of wonton.

Shi Nian also knew that he had made a mistake, so after finally coaxing Shi Jin to calm down, he used wonton again, and the siblings became filial again.

Shi Jin processed the medicinal materials he bought into pills, which should be enough for a month, so he felt relieved.

Seeing that it was getting late, she quietly stuffed three hundred big coins into Cui Xiucai's book basket, then said goodbye to the two of them, and turned back to the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

It was getting late, and it was impossible to find an ox cart.Shi Jin had no choice but to go to the Jing'an Hou Mansion in the west city step by step.

After walking for about half an hour, Shi Jin only felt a dull pain in his knees.Just as she wiped off her sweat and continued walking, there was a sound of horseshoes kicking beside her.

Shi Jin hurriedly moved aside, not wanting that the carriage was only moving slowly not far behind her.

As soon as Shi Jin turned around, he saw Shi Mo's big white teeth grinning to the root of his teeth sitting on the shaft of the car, "Shi Jin, it's getting so late, why haven't you gone back?"

"I went to see brother." Shi Jin replied.

So Shi Mo stopped the carriage, let Shi Jin sit on the shaft, and then continued to move forward, "You still have a younger brother? Why didn't I hear you mention it?" Shi Mo asked.

"My younger brother has always been in poor health, and my family fell down because of my father's death. A while ago, my younger brother was very ill because of the cold. In order to treat my younger brother, I sold myself to the Marquis's Mansion." Shi Jin replied in a low voice.

"So that's how it is." Shi Mo also felt that Shi Jin's luck was not good, and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to say it.

On the contrary, Qi Mojing, who was rubbing his brows in the carriage, paused for a moment.

In his previous life, he never knew that Cui Shijin had a younger brother.Was it deliberately concealed, or died early due to illness?
Either way, Cui Shijin had hidden too much from him.

The eyelashes were slightly drawn, and Qi Mojing could not see any emotion on his face.

Leveraging Shi Mo's wind, Shi Jin went back to the Hou Mansion smoothly.

She is on duty tonight.

Enduring the exhaustion of the day, Shi Jin asked for hot water for the second master, prepared his clothes and made the bed, and then he was familiar with the house and paved his feet.

Seeing that her younger brother was in good health today, her heart was relieved for the most part, so she kept smiling while serving the second master.

Qi Mojing was irritated by her smile, buttoned his underwear, turned around and glanced at Shi Jin, "Happy?"

Shi Jin didn't hide anything, he just said, "Yes, I'm very happy to see my younger brother."

Qi Mojing didn't speak any more, turned around and got on the bed.Shi Jin lit a tranquilizing incense, then blew out the candles, and groped up to the pedals.

Drowsy, she was about to fall asleep when she heard the person on the bed say, "I can't sleep, let me tell you a story."

That voice was still so clear that it was lifeless, but Shi Jin could hear a trace of vexatiousness from it.

She was too sleepy, so she closed her eyes and whispered, "Second Master, why not count the sheep, and fall asleep after a while."

"What? You don't want to talk?" There was a hint of danger in that voice, and the next moment, Shi Jin felt a kick kicking himself.

"Your maidservant is not very good at telling stories." Shi Jin regained consciousness, and his body stiffened accordingly.

"Then tell me about your family." Second Master Qi said wearily.

Shi Jin was not angry, but he could only start, "...the first 15 years of slaves were very carefree. Although my mother passed away early, my father was a loving father who was both father and mother. The shopkeeper of the house, with a good knowledge of pharmacology, taught the servants eight or nine points. At that time, the servants often pretended to be children and followed my father to see doctors everywhere. They also had great wishes in their hearts, thinking of becoming a female doctor in the future, and hanging the pot to help the world like his father. As soon as my father passed away, my uncle robbed the medicine shop, and even stopped my brother's perennial asthma medicine..."

When Shi Jin said this, his voice gradually lowered, "...it was only when he was older that he realized that life is worry-free. It is nothing more than someone carrying the burden for him to move forward. Now that my father has fallen, the servant is covering for my younger brother. The windshield..."

After she finished speaking, her heart felt relieved.Looking up at the bed, he saw that the second master was still sleeping in a dignified posture.She couldn't help asking softly, "Second Master, are you asleep?"

After a long while without answering, Shi Jin stopped talking, and covered his chin with a blanket, revealing only a pair of dark eyes.

When she was sleepy, the bed was still silent.

The next day.

Shi Jin helped Second Master Qi to get up, and after washing up, and playing chess took over, Shi Jin had time to go to the kitchen to eat.

Xu was rich in money at the beginning of the month, so the kitchen stewed meat and vegetables early in the morning.

Shi Jin was greedy, so he asked Aunt Zhao to fill up half a bowl, and then he took the breakfast and wanted to go back to his room to enjoy it.But Zhihua Baba followed, with a look of gossip and hesitation.

Shi Jin saw that she was suffering from suffocation, so he closed the door of the side room, and asked her with a smile, "But where did you hear this interesting story? Let's talk about it."

"It's not really interesting." Zhihua said with eyebrows fluttering, sighing and feeling, "It's that Ruyue who said bad things about the second master before, and fell into the lotus pond for some reason last night. Let's wait a moment Steward Zhou found her tulle red silk skirt floating on the water, so he sent a boy to go down to fish it. Unexpectedly, her body was soaked, pale and pale like steamed buns..."

Shi Jin's hands trembled, and he suddenly remembered the red-dressed maid who stopped Second Master Qi the night before.

She grabbed Zhihua's hand as if she was determined not to give up and asked, "Is that Kisaragi a head shorter than you and me, with a plump figure and a slightly round face?"

Zhihua couldn't help but wondered, "Have you seen Kisaragi? That's a maid in the eldest son's courtyard. She seems to have committed something recently and was circled by the elder mistress."

Shi Jin is like falling into an ice cave.

Qi Mojing's words are still in my ears, "At this time tomorrow night, you go to Hefengtai, and I will wait for you there."
