Chapter 1 Entering the House
In the summer afternoon, the cicadas chirped loudly.
The scorching sun shone brightly, and all things, including the flowers, insects, birds, and willow trees on the verandah of Jing'an Marquis Mansion, were frightened by the power of the sun. They quietly lowered their heads, hid their voices, and did not dare to show off.
There was sweat on the tip of Shi Jin's nose, and his face had two obvious blushes under the burning sun.
She pursed her lips and asked cautiously, "Aunt Yu, how long does it take to get to the second master's residence?"
The woman who was neatly dressed in a dark green long-breasted armor, covering herself as if stuffed into a condom, turned her head and glanced sideways at her, raising her eyebrows impatiently, "What's the matter? The little lady is so precious.
, you just walked a few steps and you can’t walk anymore?”
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Aunt Yu's words, Shi Jin quickly apologized and said, "Aunt Yu was joking. Since the slave has been sold to the Marquis Mansion, naturally she didn't dare to be alone. It's just that the weather was hot, and Aunt Yu led the way.
Servant, I'm afraid I'll make you feel hot."
She was careful with her words and tried her best to please her, which made Grandma Yu's expression relax and she started talking more.
"Put away those little thoughts that you shouldn't have. It should be noted that the maids in the second master's room must strictly abide by their duties. The two beautiful maids who were kicked out of the house were all because of having sex that they shouldn't have.
It was only because of my thoughts that I was despised by the second master. To be honest, the appearance of the second master is ranked among the best in the whole Hao Jing. I don’t know what the old lady thought, but you were the one
The maid who has just entered the mansion is assigned to the second master."
Aunt Yu was chattering away while leading Shi Jin's way.
At this time, the sun was blazing high in the sky. Shi Jin had not eaten any water or rice all morning, and her stomach was burning like fire, but her body was filled with hot and cold waves. Her footsteps felt like stepping on cotton dumplings, and she felt that she had nowhere to stay, and she felt that she had no place to stay, and she felt that she had no place to stay.
Grandma's nagging voice seemed to be distant and near at times, ethereal and insubstantial.
Just as the tip of her tongue pressed against the roots of her teeth to support her, Nanny Yu spoke as if she was being pardoned, "Here, the second master's yard is here."
Shi Jin followed Nanny Yu into the courtyard. He didn't care to take a closer look at the surrounding scenery, and followed her to stand under the corridor of the main room.
Fortunately, there was finally some shade under the corridor, and the blush on her face dissipated a little.
Aunt Yu cautiously said hello to Si Qi in the Second Master's room, and then she said with a smile, "The old lady said that the Second Master is in short supply of servants. She was afraid of disturbing the two girls, so she specially asked the old slave to help the Second Master."
I will send you a capable maid."
Siqi's whole body was as thin as a willow's waist, and her appearance also had slender eyebrows and slender eyes, and she had a romantic appearance with gradually wider belts. When she heard what Aunt Yu said, her face also showed a bit of alienation.
He smiled and said, "It's time for you, grandma."
Looking at Shi Jin behind Nanny Yu, Si Qi was a little surprised and asked, "What's going on? He doesn't look very good."
Shi Jin felt like there was a buzzing in her head. She felt a little relieved, and her voice became soft and weak, "It's a bit hot, it's okay."
"In that case, come in quickly and take a rest." Si Qi came over and helped Shi Jin, leading her into the house.
As he walked through the door, Si Qi twisted his head and said, "It's so busy here that I won't see you off."
"Easy to say, easy to say." With a smile on her face, Aunt Yu watched Siqi enter the house, then she lowered her face and spat in a low voice, "Little whore! Just because the second master is arrogant! When will he be kicked out?
I want to go to the house and see how arrogant you are!"
Here, as soon as Shi Jin walked in the door, a wave of cold air hit his face.
The room is not luxurious, only some elevated flower tables are placed in the four corners. On the flower tables are flower pots and porcelain vases with a blue background of landscape and green pine glaze. The latest flowers and green plants are dotted among them, and the smell makes you forget your worries.
Near the flowers, there is a whole painting of Qiu Zhenren's landscape painting hanging on the wall of the east chamber. The mountains and rivers spread into a piece, and gradually going down, you can see a big river passing through the mountains, converging like a waterfall, and inking a small boat in a steep and rapid place.
, there is great potential to break through obstacles and go upstream.
A little further ahead of the huge landscape is a wide table with flying horns carved with flowers, birds, fish and insects. There are some paintings that are displayed or closed on the table. The four treasures of the study are placed in a corner. Next to it stands a low table with a simple ink-colored painting on it.
A striped clay pot with several scrolls of calligraphy and paintings inside.
Shi Jin glanced at the other end of the case and found where he was interested.
It's midsummer now, and the bitter summer is hard to get rid of, and obviously this second master is no exception.
A little further away on the other side of the table is a rockery with exquisite landscape carvings. Among the abrupt rocks, there are a number of half-melted ice cubes where the water should be. At this time, there is a coolness, curling up, like
Set up a fairyland.
Si Qi brought a short porridge and placed it near the door, "Just sit down and I'll bring you a bowl of sour plum soup."
Shi Jin grabbed Siqi's sleeves. Now that she was soaked in the faint coolness, her mind became a little clearer, "I don't need to worry about it, sister, it's better for me to have sex at this time."
Si Qi looked at Shi Jin and smiled slightly, also in a good mood, "It doesn't matter, the second master is not a master who treats his servants harshly, so just sit back and relax."
Hearing Si Qi say this, Shi Jin felt a little at ease.
Siqi picked up a strange-looking copper pot with a double-eared ring and a long mouth on the Eight Immortals table of rosewood with carved cranes and cloud patterns on the left, and picked up an upside-down bowl. He tapped the spout, and a dark red water flow suddenly appeared.
Pour it into a fine porcelain bowl with porcelain white and no variegated relief.
The translucent red was slightly mixed with purple, and in the light coming through the window, it became more clear and attractive, making people unable to help but salivate and reveal a slight desire.
Siqi brought the bowl of sour plum soup to Shi Jin, and at the end he also carried a roll of silk thread for knotting.
The two of them sat opposite each other by the door. Shi Jin was a little reserved in his fashion, so he slowly sipped the sour plum soup and watched the chess player playing chess.
The sour plum soup had obviously been refrigerated, as a dense layer of water droplets formed on the rim of the white porcelain bowl, making her hands slightly wet.
After rubbing her hands on the skirt at her knees for a moment, she opened her mouth and asked Siqi in a low voice, "I have just arrived and there are still many things I don't understand. Can my sister give me a few pointers?"
Siqi kept moving, and when he heard Shi Jin's question, he smiled and answered her, "It's not really a point to mention, just a few points. My sister has remembered them. First, the second master doesn't like others touching him.
Even if the second master throws the painting everywhere, we slaves must stay away from the painting; secondly, the second master is the most upright person in doing things, and he is the least likely to see the maids having wrong thoughts, and those who have wrong ideas
The first thing I think about is that I am probably doing menial work on Zhuangzi right now; thirdly, the second master likes thoughtful and considerate people, so we slaves should take care of everything and think about everything for the master."
Having said this, Si Qi stopped moving for a moment and raised his eyes to stare at Shi Jin seriously, "The most important thing is that the second master doesn't like women touching him, so be careful when doing things, otherwise you won't be punished no matter what.
know."
Shi Jin nodded immediately, taking Si Qi's words into his mind little by little.
Although Siqi said that the second master did not treat his servants harshly, but in this regard, which one of them is not like walking on thin ice?
If her uncle hadn't taken away her family's pharmacy, and her younger brother was ailing and in need of money to recuperate, she wouldn't have sold herself to a wealthy family to do what a lowly person should do.
That is to say, I heard that the maid in the Hou Mansion is treated generously and can be released for marriage when she reaches twenty-five years old. Why should she bother to come?
Although I missed the flower letter, I can still look forward to the future.
Thinking of this, Shi Jin gently put the sour plum soup aside, reached out and took some pieces of silk thread from Siqi's hand, and helped tie the knot together.
Her hands were as white as jade, and her fingers were dexterous and vivid. Si Qi saw her fingers flying around, twisting and twisting several strands of silk threads of different colors like butterflies piercing flowers. The silk threads that were clearly in her hands seemed to be in the hands of this maid.
It was like life, and gradually took shape. After a while, a small pink flower with green branches and leaves was engraved on the network.
Siqi's eyes also lit up, and he didn't expect that this new maid was actually very handy.
"This is quite new." She immediately felt more favorable towards Shi Jin and couldn't help but move closer to her, "Can you make a fan pendant? It just so happened that the second master got a new folding fan, so I was thinking about what kind of fan pendant to make.
.”
Shi Jin pursed his lips and smiled, "I'm quite good at it."
She straightened several clusters of silk threads and intertwined them with bright colors on her fingers. Then she added other silk threads and twisted them one by one into a shape. It looked vaguely like a little rabbit.
The rabbit had a pair of red eyes and a short tail like a grain of rice. What happened was that it had a green carrot in its mouth.
The whole fan pendant is only half the size of a finger, but it is very vivid and cute.
Si Qi couldn't put it down after seeing it, but he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, it's so cute, I wonder if the second master can handle it?
Just as her thoughts were spinning, a crisp voice with a hint of irritation sounded from outside the door, "I'm really pissed off! You little bitch can't learn anything, but you're all good at chewing your tongue! I'm not afraid that the second master will pull you out.
Tongue!”
