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

Chapter 49
Shi Jin was too angry to speak.

She lowered her head and waited for the second master to lie down without saying a word, and then rested on the footrest.

With the residual warmth on her lips, she secretly took her sleeve and wiped it vigorously for a few rounds until her lips were hot and painful, then she withdrew her hand, turned around and closed her eyes.

Qi Mojing just lay down on the high couch in a regular manner, with his hands folded on his stomach, and his eyes open, thinking about the situation in the court.

Because of the scandal in Weiyuan General's Mansion, the second prince went to His Majesty to plead guilty, and was punished by His Majesty, and sent to serve in the army.

Prince Xiao Ce was punished repeatedly by His Majesty because he came out while he was still in confinement period. Not only was the confinement difficult, but he was also sent to Huangjue Temple to become a vegetarian for his biological mother.

In this encounter, even though both parties had their wings broken, after all the Second Prince received a lighter punishment, while the Prince Xiao Ce was seriously injured.

What's more, although the second prince said that he was going to serve in the Gongwei Camp in Gyeonggi, this might not be a good opportunity to gather the morale of the army.Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that the prince's situation is in jeopardy.

Changing places, if he were the crown prince, he would definitely fight back and survive the Jedi!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his lips, how do you know that the fisherman benefits when the snipe and the clam fight? .
In the blink of an eye, the end of the month.

Because Shi Jin had a lot of money, he received the monthly money for that month, and with the reward from the Fourth Miss, he asked for leave from the nanny in charge of the Hou Mansion, and went to Cui Xiucai's house to visit his younger brother.

However, she finally came to visit in an ox cart with her big bags and small bags, and when she saw General Tie of Cui Xiucai's family guarding the door, no one was there.

Shi Jinnahan, in the past, Adi and Cui Xiucai would rest at home at the end of the month, waiting for her to come back, why is there no one in sight this time?

She couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, so she patted on the door of the neighboring house opposite.

It was Aunt Zhou who lived opposite Cui Xiucai.Hearing someone knock on the door, she threw the clothes she was washing herself into the tub, rubbed her wet hands on the cloth pockets around her waist, then raised her voice, shouted to wait a moment, and walked forward come and open the door.

The door of Aunt Zhou's house is a long-standing wooden door, with mottled black paint on it, very desolate.Accompanied by the creaking sound of the door, the faded door god on the door also trembled.Immediately afterwards, the door was opened a crack, and Aunt Zhou's round red face appeared in the crack of the door.

"Ah! It's Miss Cui!" Aunt Zhou might as well stand at the door with a charming girl, with a genuine smile on her face.Looking at Shijin's big and small bags, he knew in his heart that this was to see Cui Xiucai, "But he came to see Cui Xiucai?"

Shi Jin nodded, with a bit of shyness on his face, and a little eagerness to hide, "It is true that I came to look for my cousin and younger brother, but General Tie at home is guarding the door. Does Aunt Zhou know what's going on with them? as urgent?"

Because of the anxiety in my heart, those words came out one after another.

Seeing that Shi Jin was really anxious, Aunt Zhou couldn't help smiling brightly, because she smiled, "Don't worry, girl, it's a happy event. Cui Xiucai took your brother away in a hurry two days ago, fearing that you won't be able to find him." , Tete left a letter for you. Follow me into the house to get it."

After hearing what Aunt Zhou said, Shi Jin followed her into the courtyard.

The yard of Aunt Zhou's house is very rough, but there is a breath of life everywhere.There are several chicken coops along the east side, and a few poultry are kept in them.

There are also several drying racks made of bamboo joints, the clothes on which are still dripping, and a wooden basin on the ground, in which the clothes with patches are soaked in water, obviously Aunt Zhou was washing clothes for a while.

However, since her family has a well, it is also cheap to use water.

Shi Jin only took a cursory look around, but he was concerned.

At this time, Aunt Zhou had already picked up the letter, and moved the bed, let Shi Jin sit in the courtyard, and only then helped to do the laundry again.

Rolling up her sleeves, she turned her head towards Shi Jin, "Xiucai left in a hurry at the beginning, and only said that he had a job as a teacher for a wealthy family, and he would not delay. Just read the letter, there is probably something mentioned in it."

Shi Jin made up his mind a little, thanked Aunt Zhou with a smile, took the letter, and read it at a glance.

What Aunt Zhou said in the letter was consistent with what Aunt Zhou said. Because the master's family was in a hurry to hire, Cui Xiucai took his younger brother to the master's house to teach.That family has a doctor who is specially raised at home, which is also beneficial to brother's condition.

The only regret is that it is a bit far away from Haojing City, and it takes three to five days to travel, so it is difficult to take advantage of the monthly holidays to take a look at Brother.

Shi Jin felt relieved for Cui Xiucai, but also worried about brother's health.

With all kinds of complicated thoughts, she thanked Aunt Zhou and left a few packs of snacks, then said goodbye to Aunt Zhou, and wanted to go back to the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhou couldn't help being so generous with Shi Jin, she couldn't help laughing a few times, sent Shi Jin out of the alley, and found her an ox cart, and then watched Shi Jin leave.

Going back at this time, Shi Jin was in a somewhat depressed mood after all, looking at the ball of snacks and medicinal herbs on the bottom of her feet, and her clothes, her eyes were stained with sadness.

"Miss, are you here to visit relatives?" The old man driving the ox cart was a thin old man with half-white beard and half-white hair. Seeing Shi Jin's devastated appearance, he couldn't help but accost him.

Shi Jin smiled and shook his head, "I wanted to go and see brother, but they moved away."

Hearing Shi Jin's words, the old man also felt that Shi Jin's sadness had been brought back, so he couldn't help sighing, and only yelled at the old cow to stagger forward, through the downtown, around a few narrow alleys, all the way west. go.

Shi Jin sat on the ox cart with his jaw on his knees, his eyes dimmed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Suddenly, the bullock cart came to a sudden stop, bumping her back against the edge of the cart, with some pain in her shoulder blades, Shi Jin raised her head in a daze.

I saw three or five rough men standing in front of the bullock cart, looking towards Shi Jin with their heads.

The leader of the reckless man is tall and tall, wearing a Gebu short jacket with several brown patches on it, bearded, hooked nose, very fierce.

There was some doubt in his eyes, he turned his head to look at the thin man beside him, and muttered in a low voice, "Didn't you say he is a handsome servant? Why is he a maid?"

The thin man was also a little at a loss, "It should be right? What's going on?"

Where had the old man driving the ox cart seen such a battle? He cupped his hands towards the opposite side tremblingly, and said calmly, "Dare to ask a few gentlemen, but do you have something to advise?"

"Teaching doesn't count." The bearded leader turned to Shi Jin, "Are you a servant of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion?"

Shi Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately looked over with clear eyes, "The slave's family is Huansha who is next to Princess Yichang of Sheng Guogong's mansion, and she specially came out to buy for Princess Yichang, who are you waiting for?"

When she said this, her chin was raised slightly, and her complexion carried some arrogance unique to a wealthy family. She only pinched her hands in her sleeves, with her nails stuck in her palms, trying not to teach herself to show timidity.

"Maybe it's a mistake?" The thin man scratched his head, puzzled.

Shi Jin frowned, and raised his voice, showing no signs of fear. The words fell slowly like pearls on a jade plate, "What's the matter? Could it be that the Duke of Sheng's mansion has something to do with you? Or do you want to come with me to the princess?" Arguing in front of you?"

Her words were so loud that the people opposite her hesitated.

Shi Jin didn't care about them, he just sneered at the old man and said, "Let's hurry back to the mansion, I'd like to see who is so blind that even the princess' maidservant dares to stop her."

After she finished speaking, she sat down firmly and did not look at the people opposite her.

The old man saw that all the people on the opposite side were showing hesitation, so he drove the car decisively and continued to move forward.

The bullock cart was about to pass by the reckless men on the opposite side, Shi Jin cast a sidelong glance at these people, sneered to himself, and lowered his eyes to focus on the corners of his clothes and skirts.

But the heart is as dense as a beating drum, a heart hangs in the throat, and the palms are faintly sweaty, and the back is also damp.
