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

Chapter 77 Shower (Part [-])
Fast forward to late September.

Second Master Qi was released from prison two days earlier.Shi Jin listened to Yuan'er, because the second young master was not used to the hardships in the prison, he looked thinner and less energetic.

The eldest lady was really hurt to the bone, and all kinds of supplements were sent to the second son's yard like water, vowing to raise him back.

These things were only done in private, but the old lady kept it a secret, in case the old lady was in poor health, and the second son would suffer and could not bear it.

Shi Jin only smiled shallowly, "Since the Da Furen's order is kept secret, how do you know?"

Yuan'er approached her, "The tonics are all great tonics. The second young master couldn't bear it, so he rewarded some of the servants. My father also got some because he did a good job in the stable. He just secretly took them out and sold them at a low price. , and got a full hundred and ten taels of silver."

Shi Jin couldn't help smacking his tongue, and suddenly a sarcasm from a former poet appeared in his mind, "The wine and meat of the rich family stinks, and the road is frozen to death."

She hastily suppressed this sentence, and then laughed at herself thinking that the current peace is long, although the people's life is still difficult, after all, it is much better than before.

"Sister Shi Jin, the servants have rushed to join the Second Young Master these past two days, all for the benefit. Are you going? If so, let's go around the Second Young Master's courtyard together." Yuan'er opened her eyes wide. A pair of shining eyes, full of anticipation.

The hundred taels of silver really surprised her.How much can a little servant girl save even if she saves for ten years?
Shi Jin looked at the gloomy sky, and said with a smile, "I'm not going, how can everyone take their turn when it comes to the pie in the sky?"

She didn't say anything more.Last time, because he mentioned the second son in his words, the second master "taught" her ruthlessly. If it happened again, she might just dig a hole and bury herself.

Seeing that Shi Jin couldn't be persuaded, Yuan'er had no choice but to reluctantly stand up, "Qianbo is touching, sister Shi Jin, let me go around, maybe I will meet the second young master too?"

Shi Jin covered his mouth and smiled secretly, his brows and eyes also curved, "Go, go, when you become a rich woman, don't forget to invite me to tea."

"Gou Fugui, don't forget each other." Yuan'er nodded towards Shi Jin with a heavy complexion, then turned and left.

Shi Jin covered his stomach and laughed again, and was about to get up from the short porch under the corridor, but the originally dark and earthy gray sky seemed to have a hole in it, and the rain as thick as his little finger was like long silver threads, piercing through the sky Next, it crackled and smashed into the courtyard.The rockery, which has not been rained for a long time, instantly splashed a layer of fine and dense water mist, and was smashed to the ground together with the dust.

The rain was too heavy, and it was windy, and it hit the corridor obliquely. After a while, water accumulated, winding along the lacquered wood floor of the corridor into a stream.

Not only Shi Jin, but also chess players and painting masters, as well as a group of little maids, all scrambled to be the first to lower the blackout bamboo curtain on the edge of the veranda from mid-air, so as to block the rapid rain.

The copper hooks on the bamboo curtains were pulled lightly, and the curtains were lowered one after another, separating the two worlds inside and outside the corridor.The light in the verandah became dimmer, but the sound of the rain was like a stormy sea, accompanied by the muffled sound of rolling thunder, faintly coming from the sky.

Shi Jin tugged on half of his wet sleeves, and heard Siqi frowned and complained, "Why is the rain so heavy? It's autumn now, so it can't pour like summer rain."

She nodded in agreement.It's not too late at night on the left, and the autumn rain will definitely stop.

Even so, the sound of the rain was very disturbing, because she went back to the ear room and wrapped herself in clothes with cotton lining, the cool air on her body dissipated a little.

For a moment, he thought about the timing of Yuan'er running out, thinking that she must have been caught in the rain.But now the rain is rushing, and the sky and the earth are dark, so it is inconvenient to send umbrellas.

In his heart, he only hoped that this girl would be smarter and find a place to hide from the rain. Shi Jin took out silk thread to tie the knot again.

But as soon as she got up, she let it go again in impatience.

The second son Tete came to collect debts last time, and asked her to make another pendant with him.But thinking of the second master's unpredictable temperament, she abruptly did not dare to make a move.

Later, because the second son was imprisoned, this matter was suppressed by her again.

Now that the Second Young Master has been released from prison, Shi Jin wonders if he still remembers this trivial matter.

According to her, it's best to forget about this matter, lest the second master find out, and she will suffer along with it.

At that moment, she tossed and turned again, thinking of the gentle temperament of the second young master, she made up her mind again, and don't rush to make up this pendant.When the second young master asked about it, he presumed that he had forgotten it.

After reading this point, even she herself felt that she was not kind, so she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She usually still thinks about who is bullying the weak and fearing the strong.Isn't she the same temper?

If the second master wants to fall, she has to do it even if she doesn't sleep, how can she dare to be so perfunctory?
After thinking about it, even the sound of the rain outside the house became lighter...
.
It rained all afternoon, and the water columns formed by the flying tiles on the corridor eaves were like water dragons, pouring down from the eaves, pouring into the bluestone slabs in the courtyard with a surging sound, and splashing a series of water splashes.

After dinner, the rain still poured down from the sky like splashed ink, blending into the dark night, as if there were no other sounds in the world, only the vastness of water remained.

Shi Jin began to fidget.

The second master hadn't returned home yet, so she was a little hesitant, should she just rest in the anteroom, or go back to the main room to stay overnight?

For a while, she thought that the rain was too loud, and she was afraid that it would overwhelm the sound of the second master returning, so she resigned herself to gathering a thicker quilt and passing it across the veranda, intending to spread it on the footsteps of the main house.

At night, the wind howled, and the bamboo curtain was swept halfway open, and the influx of rainwater slapped the ground with a thick chill, forming pools of puddles.

Shi Jin might as well have stepped on two puddles, and the thin-soled embroidered shoes also brought some coolness.She tightened the thin quilt in her arms to prevent it from raining.

After entering the main room, she closed the door and lit the candle again, and her heart calmed down.

The second master was not there, and the rainy night was really boring, so she spread the pedals and lay down to rest by herself.

In the first half of the night, she was more vigilant, subconsciously thinking about whether the second master had returned.In the middle of the night, the sound of the wind and rain almost became the background, setting off her dreams, and raging together in her sleep.

The next morning, Siqi went into the house to clean up, saw Shi Jin still sleeping on the footsteps, so he woke her up.

Shi Jin was still a little unconscious.It is true that the sky outside the window is too dark, making people feel like they are in a dream.

"Why is it still raining?" She rubbed her eyes, and when she heard the crackling rain outside, she regained consciousness.

Siqi didn't come home last night, so he frowned and looked out the window, "If the rain doesn't clear up in time, the houses of many tenant farmers may not be able to bear it."

Both of them were silent for a moment.

Shi Jin put away the thin quilt, got up to wash up, and ate breakfast with Siqi and Zhihua, and the three of them sat around the door of the main room together, watching the gods show their power.

The rain was slow or fast, and there was no sign of stopping.Siqi raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "There is one thing, I don't know if it's true or not..."
