Chapter 6 Cinnabar

There was a creak of the door in the ear room next door, and it was a weaving painting to go out to see.

Shi Jinzui was faster than his brain, and in one breath, he could exhale, blow out a lamp and candle, and pretend that he had fallen asleep.

Qi Mojun, who was stepping into the backyard outside, saw the extinguished candle flame at a glance, and his face couldn't help but darken.

As soon as Zhihua approached him, he felt that the second master's expression was wrong. She couldn't help but cast an inquiring look at Shi Mo behind her, and Shi Mo was also confused.

"Is the second master resting in the main room or the study tonight?" Zhihua was so attentive that he took the coat in Shi Mo's hand and followed Qi Mojun all the way.

After a brief pause near the main room, Qi Mojun's feet turned around and walked towards the study in the west wing.

He strode forward, and he knew that the painting was almost unable to keep up, but the words that came out of his mouth were full of coldness, "The maid given by my mother is not so long-eyed? There are no rules? ”

What he said was mediocre, just let Shi Jin in the ear room hear it, which can be regarded as awe-inspiring.

Shi Jin's heart suddenly became even more tormented, and he was neither in nor in or out.

But he knew the painting, and followed Qi Mojun all the way to explain, "It's the slave's fault, thinking that Shi Jin was on duty yesterday and replaced her today." ”

"On duty?" Qi Mojun's words swirled on the tip of his tongue, and he sighed lightly, and did not say anything more.

Sleeping so deadly is also called night duty?

Listening to the footsteps in the distance, Shi Jin hurriedly pulled down his hair at will, and hurriedly ran to the tea room next to the ear room, brought a pot of water, and soaked a pot of the jasper fragrance that the second master of Si Qi told him to drink, and then took the tray for tea and walked towards the study.

The study was lit up at this time, and Duzhihua stood on the steps outside the study with his hands twisted.

Looking at Shi Jin, who came to the moon, Zhihua was also a little embarrassed, and whispered to her, "How did you get up?" Saying okay, I'll be on duty for the night, but I'm annoying you to run again. ”

Shi Jin is the one who should say sorry, just a few words of the second master with a gun and a stick, obviously aimed at himself, but tired to learn that the painting is eating and hanging.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile a little on her face, "I'll bring tea to the second master." ”

The two chattered, and Qi Mojing inside raised his voice and asked, "Who is outside?" The noise is so noisy that people are not at peace. ”

Shi Jin gave Zhihua a reassuring look and asked her to go back first, only then did she reach out and knock on the door with her left hand, "Second master, the slave maid is here to serve you tea." ”

There was silence in the room for a moment, and then there was a voice, "Come in." ”

When Shi Jin entered the study for the first time, he saw all kinds of classics and books listed on the large mahogany bookcase against the wall, which was very dazzling.

On the north side of the study, there is a low couch in front of the fan covered with green shadow tulle window, in front of which is a half-person high rectangular ink-lacquered flat-headed bookcase, and a palace beauty bronze lantern is placed on it, and the light is facing Qi Erye, who is kneeling in front of the bookcase and burying his head in reading.

Shi Jin couldn't help swallowing his saliva, took two steps forward boldly, and stopped three steps away from the second master, raised the tray in his hand, and said words of forgiveness in his mouth, "I just finished bathing, and I heard that the master was back." No, as soon as I heard that the master was back, the slave's hair had not been wrung dry, so she hurriedly made tea for the second master. ”

Hearing Shi Jin say this, Qi Mojing took his head out of the book with an admiring face and glanced at her inadvertently.

At this time, Shi Jin's hair was a little messy, the tips of his hair were half dry, and he was loosely pulled by an ebony hairpin and hung down at the back of his head.

On her body is the tender green summer shirt often worn by the maids of the Hou Mansion, which is very light and ironed. Xu is the reason why Shi Jin just bathed, the summer shirt was a little close-fitting, and a little drop of water from the tips of the hair on the neck slid down the chest, dripping all the way, dyeing the tender green a little deep.

Qi Mojing's eyes couldn't help but darken, and the little finger of the flip book subconsciously rubbed the pages, and the whole person lowered his head to study the "Art of War".

There was a sudden silence in the study, only the sound of the copper kettle dripping, and there was no distinction between joy and anger.

Shi Jin couldn't figure out what Second Master Qi meant in his heart, so he only stood in place with both hands holding the tray.

After a long time, her arms trembled a little. Just as she was thinking about how to break the silence and put down the tea, Second Master Qi finally opened her mouth like amnesty, "You stand so far away, how can you drink tea?" ”

Shi Jin's face was suddenly full of joy, and he put the tray against the edge of the bookcase, and then he raised a cup of tea and handed it to Qi Mojing, "Sister Si Qi said that the second master likes this jasper fragrance the most, and the slave maid specially helped the second master soak it." ”

Qi Mojing's gaze swept over Shi Jin's white and tender fingertips, swept over the Ru kiln flower tire white porcelain bowl in her hand, and the probe was about to pick it up.

Shi Jin was startled, and hurriedly put the tea bowl in Qi Mojing's hand.

She remembered that this Second Master Qi was most tired of touching women, and if she was not careful, she was afraid that she would be sent out of the house.

Shi Jin, who was secretly glad that he was a clever ghost, naturally didn't notice Qi Mojing's gloomy face.

It's one thing to not like to be touched, but it's another thing to be disliked.

Qi Mojing took a sip of tea with a dark face, and immediately his face sank, "Jasper is fragrant, do you know how expensive this tea is?" ”

Shi Jin shook his head, looking humbly taught.

Qi Mojing closed his eyes, in order to ease the ups and downs in his chest, and then opened his eyes, his tone was flat, "Jasper is fragrant, also known as dark blue in the snow, this brown is bright and clear, but the edges are white, and there is only one plant at the junction of Mu and Zhou. Because of this tea tree, the two countries have fought each other many times, and when they pay tribute, the royal emperor can get so many catties of tea. If it is put on the market, it is hard to find. ”

Shi Jin's mouth couldn't help but open slightly, and he was almost speechless in shock.

Her younger brother needs money to treat his illness, and these luxuries, one or two teas, can make her and her brother have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Before the change, Rao carved beams and painted beautiful mansions and mansions, and she didn't feel so deeply. But this Second Master Qi's words made her hands tremble.

"So," Qi Mojing glanced at her fingers coolly, "in the future, don't spoil the tea." ”

This is straightforward and heart-wrenching, but Shi Jin is still indisputable.

She couldn't help but bow her head in frustration and softly answered "yes".

Xu is to educate his own ignorant little maidservant, Qi Erye is in a good mood, and even his voice is a little happy, "Grinding ink." ”

That's what I was interested in.

Shi Jin was afraid that the wide sleeves were stained with ink, so he couldn't help but feel that his left hand was grabbing the sleeve of his right hand, and he slowly grinded the ink.

The beauty under the lamp, the wrist is lightly raised, which is quite in line with the beautiful talk of the reader's red sleeves and fragrance. The second master of Biqi is not interesting, he only holds a middle millimeter and outlines the shape on the rice paper little by little.

Shi Jin couldn't see what Qi Erye was painting at the beginning, and it wasn't until she smudged and paved the way over and over again that she recognized that this was not the rockery in the yard?

The strange rocks are craggy, the horns are grand, and the artistic conception is quite good.

Shi Jin just wanted to sigh, and saw an embroidered shoe painted on the concave and convex part of the rockery.

Well......

"Strange and interesting", Shi Jin held back these words for a while.

Second Master Qi raised his eyes and looked at her, his gaze lingering on her lips.

"Cinnabar is gone." He suddenly said this.
