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

Shi Jin was placed in the servant's room of Qingfengyuan.

It's night now, but she doesn't want to disturb Zhihua, she just thinks about what the old lady said over and over in her mind.

Grateful for the second master who took precautions so early, she felt a little tender in her heart.

But the secular shackles made her feel a little afraid and retreated.

How can there be any reason for a maid to marry a young master of a high family?Even if she heard these words again, she would feel extremely absurd.

But the second master's affection does not seem to be fake, she sighed lightly, even if she is a concubine, she is also a high-ranking woman.

Thinking like this, her mind became more sober. Looking at the bright moon outside the window, she felt a little ashamed for the first time.

This is the difference between cloud and mud, so why do they get together in one place? !

While tossing and turning, Shi Jin took a four-cornered white silk lantern embroidered with mountains and rivers and went out, and turned to the second master's study.

In her spare time, she likes to look for books in the study, and the "Three Character Classic" last time was also collected from the study.

The door of the study room was ajar, but with a slight push, the door creaked open.

Shi Jin lifted the lantern and looked around, but it was no different from the past.There is only a thick stack of books piled up on the table and case, presumably Zhi Hua temporarily put them in the corner of the case when he was arranging the books.

Holding the lantern, Shi Jin got a little closer, took a booklet from the top of the books, and looked at it carefully.

There are some old annotations on that book, which looks like Er Ye's handwriting.

She couldn't help but put the lantern aside, sat on the low couch, and read the second master's handwriting bit by bit.

The first half of the book is some ordinary annotations, the handwriting is quite elegant, but the further on, the fewer the annotations, and even the handwriting becomes scribbled, which seems to be a little restless.

Shi Jin checked the cover of the book. It should be from ten years ago. I think the second master was only a young man at that time, and his temperament may have been uncertain.

She closed the book and wanted to put it back in its original place, but unexpectedly, a small page fell out of the book.

The small page is woven with golden embroidered thread, thin as a wing, and a silhouette of a woman is painted on it, with only a few strokes, but it has just begun to take shape.

Curious, Shi Jin picked up the small page and placed it on the side of the lantern, carefully discerning the description in the painting.

The woman's body is slender, and even the clothes she wears are completely visible, but there are no facial features on her face, only a few outlines, so she can't see her real appearance clearly.

Curious, she flipped through a few more books, but there were no pages left.His eyes fell on the high and low redwood double-layer shelves on one side of the table, and a blue and white porcelain painting jar with a big belly was placed on the floor.

Since entering the mansion for the first time, Siqi told her that Erye's paintings must never be moved, and Shi Jin had never really seen Erye's paintings, only once, he used the blood beads from the corners of her lips to paint , that would be the first time she saw the second master painting.

Seeing the small page now, she didn't know why, but she wanted to take a look at the paintings in the vat.

Once the thoughts in my heart come together, I can't suppress it no matter what.

She bent down, and pulled out a scroll of paintings tied with red ribbons from the painting vat, and slowly unfolded them on the table, a stream of water appeared as the scroll scrolled.

The stream flows out from the gap between the mountains, winding and winding, with the bright moon hanging high above the head, which means reunion in the moon.However, the style of painting is sombre, and there is only a slender woman crouching by the stream, drinking from the spring.

Looking closely at the woman's description, the face is unclear again, only half of the side is blank.

It was late at night, Shi Jin flinched, put the painting away, and then picked up another painting and unwrapped it.

This time it is a picture of peonies in the garden, the figure of the woman is getting clearer, her face is still white, no description can be seen.

She seemed unwilling, and searched for a long time, trying to find the appearance of the woman, but found nothing.

Just when he was about to give up, Shi Jin's hand found another scroll.

She was too lazy to let go of the scroll, and with just a casual glance, she recognized the rockery in the courtyard that was being painted.

The red embroidered shoes next to the rockery tend to be dark brown due to the dim blood stains, almost blending into the rockery.If others don't look closely, they may ignore the embroidered shoe.

As soon as Shi Jin saw the painting, he felt a dull pain in the corner of his mouth.She couldn't help but move a little faster, wanting to put the painting away.

Nai He only finished half of the painting, and her movements stopped again.

The ground near the rockery seems to be filled with water, and the reflections in the water are clear and shallow, with a few strokes, which seem to be the shadows of two people's clothes.

She rubbed the lines of the water in disbelief, but felt that everything was like the moon in the mirror and the flowers in the water, which couldn't be seen clearly.

As if thinking of something, Shi Jin rummaged through the pile of scrolls for a long time, and finally found the scroll tied with a red ribbon.

After searching deliberately, Shi Jin squinted his eyes again and looked into the stream.

On the originally dark stream, there are water patterns frowned by the wind, but there is still a faintly reflected face in the water patterns.

Shi Jin brought the painting closer to the lantern to distinguish carefully, but after he saw the faint eyebrows, the horror in his heart was wave after wave, and he almost couldn't stand up!
The reflection in the water was somewhat distorted, but a pair of clear eyes were still engraved on the surface of the water, exactly what she looked like!

She was startled, and almost instinctively threw the painting out.

The painting scroll and the scroll were covered with dust on the ground, and they were displayed in the open space in front of the table.

When Shi Jin heard his heart pounding, he picked up the painting after a long time and hurriedly wrapped it back in the painting vat.

The candles in the lantern burned out bit by bit, and with the last wisp of smoke dissipating, there was some light scent of candle flames left in the study.

However, she didn't care about the ever-changing lanterns, and ran out like a stagger.

The second master told her that he had only had one dream in the past ten years, and the girl in the painting was the one he had been thinking about day and night, right?

Thinking of this, for some reason, she felt a little sour in her heart.Mingming was so wronged that he wanted to find him, but felt that it was really hard to say these words.

not to mention……

Er Ye's paintings have always been taboo...

Shi Jin was thinking in a daze, until the sky turned pale, and then she moved step by step to the ear room where she was resting temporarily.

Knowing that he got up early, he only opened the curtains now, and saw Shi Jin, who looked like a lost soul, walking step by step through the courtyard.

She couldn't believe it, she rubbed her eyes, and then hesitated to say, "Shi Jin? You're back?"

However, the person in front of him didn't respond at all, and drifted into the room as if he didn't hear it.

Zhi Hua only felt that Shi Jin was really weird today, because she followed Shi Jin in three steps and two steps at a time, and patted her on the back with his hand, "I was talking to you, why didn't you listen..."

Before she finished speaking, Shi Jin closed his eyes and fell to the ground.

Zhihua was taken aback, and she also backed away, with a bit of confusion on her face, "I, I didn't use my strength...why did I faint?"
