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

Chapter 25 Golden Silk Noodle Soup
After sending Qi Shu to the Yao Mansion, the Second Prince Xiao Chu swept aside those unpopular words.

Adviser Li An got into the carriage, and saw the second prince gently rubbing his temples, obviously a little irritable.

His heart moved slightly, and he only sat on the outer right side of the carriage, with some teasing in his words, "What's the matter? Isn't the third girl of the Qi family beautiful?"

Xiao Chu glanced at Li An lightly, "There are many beautiful people, but her family background is too low."

Li An looked solemn, "Miss Qi San is negotiating marriage with the Kang family, and this matter is not a problem. But Kang Guangwen is the prince's man."

Xiao Chu sneered, "A third-rank Hanlin scholar and a fallen prince, even if they get married, so what!"

He has always had his eyes above the top, and these people who can't influence the court situation are really harmless.Even if he is drawn over by his good big brother, it doesn't matter.

Li An disagreed, "My original way is also irrelevant, but the last time His Majesty was frightened at the hunting ground, the prince still remembers, who saved him?"

"Fan Cheng, Tiqisi's new capital..." At this point, Xiao Chu's face changed, "Is this marriage related to him?"

Li An's face was unpredictable. Although Fan Cheng flew to rescue him, he was wearing a silver-white faceless mask the whole time. Even the princes could not know his identity.

Right now, the prince is meddling in the inconspicuous two marriages, but what rumors did he hear?
Xiao Chu's complexion changed, and his heart wavered.Does Fan Cheng himself have something to do with the Qi family?

Li An didn't make it clear, but only pointed out, "It's too late for no benefit, since the crown prince wants to play this game of chess, we might as well disrupt the game..."

With the new rain and early sunshine, the sunset glow in the sky is gorgeous.

"Tomorrow will be a fine day." Siqi bent over and put on a pair of high-brow rain boots, and said to himself.

Shi Jin learned how to cook tea with Siqi for half a day, and he was already a little tired.She sat on an armchair by the corridor, looked up at the sunset, and lowered her head to eat melon seeds.

The melon seeds were bought by the boy in charge of purchasing in the kitchen, and they were brought back together with some dried fruits and dried meat.

Seeing that the maids had nothing to do in the rainy day, Mrs. Zhao checked them out in advance, and Tete asked Bier to send them over.

Zhihua also grabbed a handful, chatting with Shi Jin while nibbling.

She got angry a few days ago, but she was so greedy that she knocked down some melon seeds, and her voice became a little hoarse.

"You can't do this." Shi Jin glanced at her and snatched the melon seeds from her hand, "Last time I prepared all the lotus leaf tea. The lotus leaf is warm in nature and has the properties of clearing heart fire, calming liver qi, venting spleen fire, and reducing lung fire. In addition, it contains cassia seeds and tangerine peel, and a little rock sugar, you drink it for three to five days, and it is guaranteed that all anger will disappear."

Zhihua was overjoyed when he heard that, and hurriedly asked Shi Jin for some, "My dear sister, hurry up and get some, I'll treat you to Rongjinpu's dim sum some other day."

Shi Jin laughed at her, "You still remember Shi Mo's words."

The last time I ate lotus leaf porridge, Shi Mo said to bring some snacks for Zhihua, but after so many days, Shi Mo didn't bring anything back.He and Second Master went in and out all day long, looking busy, but they didn't know what they were busy with.

After hearing Shi Jin's words, Zhi Hua blushed immediately, and only scratched her with his hand.

The two were laughing and making a fuss when Shi Mo happened to come in through the corner door.Holding a brocade box in his hand, he came in and said, "Where is Second Master?"

Zhihua was annoyed that what he said didn't count, so he turned his head away and ignored it, Shi Jin just smiled and pointed to the study, "Second Master will be in there all day today."

Shi Mo didn't say much, just took a look at Zhihua, and thought, the sun is coming out from the west, and Zhang Fei, Zhihua's girl, would be twitchy.

It took less than half an hour for Shi Mo to enter.Shi Jin helped Zhihua get the lotus leaf tea, and when Shi Mo came out, he stuffed him with a few more packs, and then smiled, "Second Master, aren't you busy right now, are you ready for dinner?"

Shi Mo took the lotus leaf tea, thanked him, and then said with a grin, "Let's go and make dinner. The second master is free right now."

With Shi Mo's words leading the way, Shi Jin hurried the little maid to the kitchen to fetch food.

After a while, four dishes and one soup were ready, and Shi Jin went to ask Second Master Qi to have a meal with trepidation.

Although she was still laughing on the surface, she was a little more afraid of the second master in her heart.

The second master is moody, not sure when it will happen to him.Thinking of the bowl of ginger tea yesterday, Shi Jin felt that his stomach was still churning.

Fortunately, the second master didn't say anything this time, she just knocked on the door, and after eating, the door of the study opened slowly.

Because he didn't go out today, Second Master Qi is wearing a crow blue home clothes, which is more lazy and leisurely than the coldness of the past.

He was very tall, looked down at the hair on top of Shi Jin's head, and then walked towards the main room.Shi Jin hurriedly followed, opened the curtain and served the second master's meal.

A while ago, someone from the old lady's side came, went directly to the stove, and brought two fat ginseng chickens, and asked Aunt Zhao to rectify them to nourish the second master's body.

Aunt Zhao stewed one chicken directly, and put the other one in the cage, only to cook it for the second master again the next day.

In addition to this ginseng and herbal chicken soup, there are also pine nut corn, roasted deer tendon, yellow braised shark's fin, and a bowl of golden noodle soup.

The soup is made of high broth, served with green onions and sesame oil. Although the soup is light in color, it is full of aroma when the lid is opened.

While laying out the vegetables, Shi Jin silently swallowed his saliva.

Sure enough, rich and noble families have many tricks, and there are many tricks to have a dinner.

Hearing that the chicken soup with ginseng and herbs was her mother's wish, Qi Mojing couldn't help but take a few more mouthfuls, and picked another strand of noodles, eating slowly.

Shi Jin lowered his head, not to watch Qi Mojing eat, for fear that he couldn't help it and his saliva would flow out.

Qi Mojing finished eating slowly, and then sat on the rocking chair.Shi Jin was about to put away the bowls and chopsticks, when Second Master said, "I'll reward you for the rest, just eat here."

Shi Jin froze for a moment.Before the second master had never rewarded or not, at most the second master left, and the little maids would share the food.

Now that the second master gave the order, Shi Jin naturally has no reason not to obey.

She didn't dare to sit on the stool that Second Master used to sit on, she just stood up, picked up the little half of the noodles, picked up a pair of unused chopsticks, picked up the noodles and started eating.

The ebony lacquered pedal rocking chair is placed in the hollow partition, and from Qi Mojing's perspective, Shi Jin can just see Shi Jin eating.

He took a glance at the book, and saw the fresh-looking girl pursed her lips and sucked her face.

She ate quickly and silently, and the whole room was silent, with a rare sense of satisfaction on her face.Qi Mojing's mind was empty, and she couldn't help thinking of an old incident.

His birthday is the same day as his father's death.Therefore, every birthday, my mother seemed to forget him and never celebrated with him.He is also precocious, so he never looked forward to the birthday party like other children.

He took her in that year, and later on October [-]th, he ran away for a day to pay homage to the old Hou Ye, but there was no water or rice in his belly.When she returned home at night, she left a candle for him.When he saw him, he still remembered the joy in her eyes, pushed away the others, and brought out a bowl of clear soup noodles with eggs from the food box like a thief.

"Second Master, eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold." Her eyes were full of hope, like a starry sky full of fine stars.

He lowered his head and tasted the noodles, but the noodles had been left for a long time, and the temperature had long since disappeared.It was the first time in his life that he wanted to cry, and it was like a lump stuck in his throat, unable to swallow or spit it out.

I still remember his indifference at that time.He drooped his eyelashes, unable to distinguish between emotions and anger, "Your face is cold, just fall down."

He had no time to care about her emotions, but since then, he hasn't been in her room for a long time.
