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

Chapter 71 The Flower of the High Mountains
Shi Jin slept soundly on the spacious Babu bed for one person.

Before the second master came back in the morning, she stretched beautifully and was about to get up, but suddenly her body froze and she dared not move.

After a long time, she got out of bed tremblingly, opened the brocade quilt and saw a pool of red on the light white silk brocade mattress embroidered with dark patterns.

Because of the precious and elegant fabric of the brocade mattress, the redness was even more shocking, poking at Shi Jin's fragile nerves little by little.

She stroked the silk brocade mattress with trembling hands, and when she heard noises outside, she hurriedly covered the brocade quilt like a thief to prevent anyone from seeing her flaws.

Zhihua Zhi Erye went out last night, because he was cleaning the outer room while asking Shi Jin if he was awake?
Just as Shi Jin hurriedly answered vaguely, he said to her, "Let me tidy up the inner room, sister Zhihua, go and have a rest."

"Okay, Second Master isn't here, I'll go to the kitchen and bring back our breakfast." Zhihua smiled.

Hearing the sound of footsteps going away, Shi Jin breathed a sigh of relief.She frowned and picked up the brocade quilt, took another look at the sin she had made, hurriedly put away the silk brocade mattress, and found another brocade mattress with sky blue landscape embroidered pattern from the cabinet and spread it on it.

Conscious of being invulnerable, she immediately put away the dirty brocade mattress and carried it to the ear room, hoping to take advantage of the good weather to eliminate the "criminal evidence" together.

She changed her clothes, and found a slightly thicker servant's clothes to put on. She had just put on the belt of the same color when she heard that Zhi Hua brought the food in a food box.

The corners of Zhi Hua's eyes and brows were filled with joy, "Shi Jin, look, what's for breakfast today!"

She opened the food box, and Shi Jin couldn't help but take a look, there were steamed sugar buns!

The triangular sugar bun was plump, white and tender, and almost squeezed out all the creases. Shi Jin couldn't help but picked up one and took a bite. It was brown sugar, and the sugar water was hot, making the corners of her lips red.

After eating the sugar buns, her mood became brighter, and she ate with Zhi Hua happily with millet porridge and small pickles.

The two talked and laughed, and had breakfast together.After Shi Jin finished eating, he naturally went to collect the food box, and Zhi Hua also let her go without saying much.

When Shi Jin put away the dishes, he left first, and Zhi Hua, who was hiccupping, glanced around, and saw the silk brocade mattress thrown aside by Shi Jin.

This material, at first glance, is the material used by the second master, how can an ordinary maid bear it?
She sighed slightly at the moment, "Shi Jin is really, the sheets are dirty, so of course there are cleaning maids to take care of them, why did she come to the ear room?"

Not only the clothes, shoes and socks that the master used to use, but also the clothes of these big maidservants who are proud of themselves, were also handed over to the clothes-washing maid to wash them.

The difference is that the master's clothes are expensive, time-consuming and complicated, while the clothes of the maids are more casual.

Because it was Zhihua who kindly took the brocade mattress, and sent it together with some of her own clothes to the clothes maid.

When Shi Jin came back, he took the usual wooden basin to wash the brocade mattress, looked inside and out a few times, but he couldn't find it! .
Qi Mojing glanced lightly at his good nephew Qi Tianyi in the prison, his eyebrows twitched.

Drinking flowers and wine, fighting with others, and being imprisoned, none of these things seemed like Qi Tianyi's doing.

He didn't bother to care about the dirty prison, so he just lifted the corner of his robe, sat on a bench at one side, and said through the arm-thick fence, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Qi Tianyi was also a little bit dumbfounded, "It's just that Shen Xu invited me to drink yesterday, and a dancer named Qiukui came to perform in the middle. Li Sanlang and Chen Dong broke into the house behind, and they wanted to rob me without saying anything." That dancer, Shen Xu couldn't get angry, so he beat Chen Dong up."

The corners of Qi Mojing's mouth twitched so rarely, but he got up and said, "It doesn't matter to you, it should be released in two days, you can just stay at ease."

He was still angry in his heart, being woken up by his elder brother in the middle of the night just to deal with such trivial matters, no one would be in a good mood.

Qi Tianyi saw that his second uncle was about to slip away, so he quickly stretched out his hand, "Second uncle! How is that Chen Dong? Where's Shen Xu? It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"You can't protect yourself, why do you still care about him!" Second Master Qi glanced at him, "Master Chen's family is probably not well, he was taken to the palace by Concubine Chen to be seen by the imperial doctor, it seems that it is not good Will let it go."

Qi Tianyi came to make friends with Shen Xu, and when he heard the second uncle say this, his heart was filled with worry, "Is there a way to turn things around?"

"It's still the same sentence, what does it have to do with me?" Qi Mojing lowered his eyebrows lightly, "Stop talking, let's go home for dinner. This morning, I didn't even use the meal, and I don't know how to feel sorry for your second uncle."

The corners of Qi Tianyi's mouth twitched, and he muttered to himself, he only drank a few glasses of wine from last night to now, and he didn't see his second uncle feel distressed.

Thinking about it, when he raised his head, where is the shadow of the second uncle?
.
Every master's courtyard in Jing'an Hou Mansion has a separate courtyard dedicated to washing and washing clothes.

In the northwest corner of Qingfengyuan, go through the corner gate and fold inwards to form a corner pavilion. Behind the corner pavilion, three buildings stand in groups to form an independent corner.

At this time, Lian Jiaoer, the servant girl who had just dried a pile of clothes, took another silk brocade mattress and threw it into the tub.

The objects used by the master are naturally more expensive, such as silk fabrics, which are most afraid of snagging.Therefore, the elder Huanniang in the mansion naturally did not dare to touch these precious objects with rough hands.She is younger, and she pays attention to the maintenance of her hands, and her delicate hands can wash the master's clothes with twice the result with half the effort.

She first filled a basin full of warm water, and then melted some saponin beans mixed with shell powder into the water, then unfolded the silk brocade mattress to see where it was dirty.

However, after only one glance, her heart jumped up, and she rolled the brocade mattress into a ball, not daring to look at it any more.

Who in this house doesn't know that the second master looks like a monk, unexpectedly!it turns out!

For a moment, it was as if he had learned a big secret, and he was anxious and unpredictable in his heart.

"What's the matter?" Qing'er, the maid who was doing laundry on the other side, saw that Lian Jiaoer's expression was not right, so she couldn't help but leaned over and asked.

Lian Jiao'er quietly unfolded a corner of the brocade mattress and took a look at her.Qing'er couldn't help but widen her eyes and cover her mouth, "Second Master, he..."

She hesitated to speak, but Lian Jiao'er understood the meaning of what she said.

Lian Jiao'er nodded heavily, confirming Qing'er's thoughts.

Both of them were silent for a moment, and they couldn't help but sigh, the second master, this high-altitude flower, was finally destroyed by the flower-folders who came forward one after another.

Sigh, what should be done has to be done.Lian Jiao'er's eyes were burning with gossip, she rubbed the dirty part of the brocade mattress, soaked it with rice washing water, and finally put it on a white coarse cloth and ironed it, and then she was satisfied with washing and drying The clean brocade mattress is allowed to flaunt in the sun.
.
When Shi Jin followed Zhi Hua's instructions, he found the plain brocade mattress, rippling slightly, hanging on the bamboo poles.With a lump in her throat, she quietly backed away while the little maids were not paying attention...
