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

Chapter 74 Dim Sum
"Thank you, Prince and Sir, for your kindness. It's just that my younger brother is stubborn and hurt the son of Uncle Chen's family. After all, it's not good to be selfish." Shen Liang bowed his hands and bowed again, his posture was at the lowest level, but his words were firm, but Li Jiehai was hard to shake of.

This time he was entrusted by the crown prince to come to give a favor, but this Shen family boy pushed him back with neither soft nor hard, and he was already unhappy.

However, people in the officialdom, even if they can scold others to the sky in their hearts, their faces are as gentle as the wind and the moon.Li Jiehai thought he was well-bred, so he twirled his mustache and gave him a sideways glance, "I hope Mr. Shen will not regret it. After all, there is only one brother."

His words were naturally provocative and vicious.However, Shen Liang's complexion remained unchanged, and he cupped his hands as a gesture of invitation, his eyebrows drooped, and his emotions did not show, "Mr. Li, please go slowly."

Li Jiehai shook his robe sleeves on the spot, and walked straight away.

Tiqi Zhang Ling, who was watching secretly by the door of Shen's mansion, glanced out, then turned his head back, and put a peanut in his mouth.

Prince, I can't sit still...
.
During the day to send off the second master, Shi Jin stared at the dirt in the bed curtain and let his eyes go blank.

Sighing slightly, she had no face to send the brocade mattress to the laundry room.

Because after sorting out the work in the second master's yard, she boiled some hot water and started to wash the brocade mattress.

After packing up the brocade mattress, Shi Jin came out of the ear room to learn some tea with Siqi.

Siqi taught with great care as usual, Shi Jin made tea according to her method, and handed it to Siqi for tasting.

She raised her little finger slightly, pecked lightly, then licked her lips and tasted it, a little smile flashed on her face, "It's not bad, it looks better than Zhihua."

Shi Jin also laughed, poured himself a bowl, put it on the tip of his nose, and smelled the tea fragrance that permeated his lungs.

"By the way," Siqi glanced at Shi Jin as if remembering something, "The second son was imprisoned in Dali Temple because of fighting with others. The eldest lady kept this matter from the old lady. Although we She is a maid of Qingfengyuan, but she must be cautious in her words and deeds after all, so you should be careful when you are on errand."

Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, he might as well have scalded his fingertips with the tea in his hand, and then he put down his teacup in a panic, "When did it happen?"

"The night before yesterday, right? Didn't Zhihua say that Master Hou called Er Master away in the middle of the night." Si Qi said.

Shi Jin lowered his eyes.The second master got up in the middle of the night, so she naturally knew what happened.But never expected that this matter is related to the second son.

Although she is not familiar with the Second Young Master, but after several contacts, the Second Young Master's modest and gentleman character is highly praised by Shi Jin, so for a moment she dared not think of such a dignified gentleman, and dared to fight with others.

She asked about Siqi carefully, but Siqi knew only a little about it, so she only let Shi Jin feel at ease to do the job, so as not to offend his master.

Waiting for Siqi to go to other things, Shi Jin stood in place, walked around the teahouse a few times, and suddenly remembered what Second Master said to her yesterday, "If you have a friend, this friend's A friend is being held hostage and threatened, what should you do?"

Shi Jin didn't understand what it meant at the time, but now he understands a little bit.

Although the second master said it was cryptic, it was not without trace.Er Ye's friend, or a friend, might as well be his nephew Qi Tianyi.And a friend of a friend, who should be a friend of the second son of Qi, committed a crime.

Thinking about it this way, even if Second Young Master Qi's friend committed a crime, he just suffered an indiscriminate disaster, the city gate caught fire and the pond fish were hit.

Thinking about how the second master came back, although he was a little tired, he was in good spirits, so he should be fine.

After thinking about it again and again, her heart became brighter, and the corners of her lips curled up into a smile. After comforting herself, she was in the mood to joke with the little maids in the yard.

The autumn tiger in September is still powerful.

In the afternoon, Shi Jin followed Mrs. Zhao to learn how to make some cakes, sweat slowly accumulated on her body, and the broken hair on her forehead was stuck to her temples, which was very uncomfortable.

Aunt Zhao, because of her slight contempt for Shi Jin before, saw that she was favored by the second master again, so she paid extra attention in the process of teaching pastry.

Seeing the sweaty tip of Shi Jin's nose, she couldn't help but courteously said, "Miss Shi Jin is hot? Here's ice-cold plum soup, do you want some?"

Shi Jin has a solid understanding of pharmacology, so he naturally knows that it is inconvenient for a woman to catch cold when she comes to Guishui.However, the plum soup is so red, it is so cute to look at.She put the plum soup aside, thinking that it would be all right to take a sip quietly as the coolness faded away.

In the afternoon, she followed Aunt Zhao to make several boxes of snacks.There are glutinous round sesame balls, deep-fried spring rolls, plum millefeuille, and fermented glutinous rice cakes.

Although the shape is not as exquisite as the dim sum shop outside, the taste is not bad.

He lightly picked up a small ball and stuffed it into his mouth. The meatball was hot and runny. Shi Jin hurriedly took a sip of the plum soup next to him, barely suppressing the pain on the tip of his tongue. Makes sense.

Before he knew it, a bowl of plum soup fell into his stomach, and Shi Jin left fifty Wen copper coins for Aunt Zhao, and then went out with the pastry box.

The ingredients in the kitchen have their own fixed amount, except for three meals a day, other maids have to spend money to buy some snacks.Shi Jin was no exception, and paid Mrs. Zhao a little more money than the outside price.

Aunt Zhao was not willing to accept it, she just chased Shi Jin to ask her to take the money back.She was worried that she had nowhere to show off, and when Shi Jin needed her, she felt more at ease.

Shi Jin smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, ma'am, I've learned a lot from you today, next time I borrow the stove, I'll only pay for it."

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Zhao didn't refuse any more, she just counted out ten more money and handed it to her, "That girl gave too much, you just keep it."

Shi Jin had no choice but to thank her again, and then returned to the ear room with the snacks.

She picked out the good-looking snacks, saved a plate, covered it with a half-round green gauze, and divided the rest into six portions.

Keep one for yourself, one for Shimo, two for Siqi and Zhihua, and the remaining two for Cui'er and Bi'er, and let them share with the other maids on duty in the yard.

For a while, everyone has it, and everyone is beaming.

"Why do you want to make snacks today?" Zhi Hua asked her with a smile that made her eyes crooked.

"I want to eat it, but it's inconvenient to go out and buy it, so I can only make it myself." Shi Jin returned to her, and picked up a fermented rice crispy cheese to taste.

In the past, the crispy cheese was made into soup and water, but she chose to make it into a thumb-sized lump of milk and stuff it into the mouth. The aroma of wine and milk is very intoxicating.

Seeing that it was getting late, Siqi looked at the setting sun, so he brought his share of snacks and smiled with them, "It's getting late, I'll go back first, you just wait for the second master to come back."

Shi Jin and Zhi Hua hurriedly slapped the dregs off their hands, and got up together to send Siqi off.

Waiting to send Siqi away, the two of them were waiting to turn around, when Shi Mo yelled, "It smells so good! Who has eaten the crispy cheese?"
