Chapter 16: Moonsilver

Shi Jin turned back halfway, and heard Qi Mojing ask the red-clothed maid in front of him in an almost gentle voice.

She instinctively ducked behind a cluster of flowers, not daring to poke her head out. Apparently, she heard some big secret!

The tips of Qi Mojing's ears moved slightly, and he didn't look back, only looking at Ruyue softly.

Ruyue was stared at by Qi Mojing's gaze, her face was red and her ears were hot. Second Master Qi is really a good skin! As long as he is willing, as long as he shows a light smile, a large number of boudoir daughters will flock to him!

She nodded vigorously, and added, "If it weren't for the longing day and night, how could Ruyue do such a deviant thing." ”

"I know what you're thinking." Second Master Qi nodded, "At this time tomorrow night, you go to Hefengtai, and I will wait for you there." ”

Hearing Second Master Qi's answer, not only Ruyue, but also Shi Jin behind the flowers was stunned.

However, Ruyue got the personal promise of Second Master Qi, and was sent away by him after she was happily thanked.

After Ruyue walked out of a distance, Second Master Qi's face was visibly darkened with the naked eye. His eyes were dark, and he sneered and glanced in the direction where Ruyue left, and then said coolly, "Have you seen enough!" ”

Shi Jin was startled, biting his lip and moving out three times at a time. She sneered on her face, and only said softly, "The second master has good eyesight, and the slave maid just came over, and the second master found out." ”

Second Master Qi turned his eyes and glanced at Shi Jin, who was empty-handed, Shi Jin hurriedly said at a loss, "The slave maid remembered halfway through walking, and the second master went out without a shirt......

Qi Mojing didn't speak, but walked back with the air death lantern. Shi Jin didn't dare to return to the light, so he just trotted all the way to chase the second master.

He has long legs and large steps, and often has to run two or three steps to keep up with one step. Unfortunately, the already pale air death wind lantern popped and went out clean when it passed by a rockery.

Shi Jin was afraid of the dark, so he just went back to get his clothes, and he relied on all his might. Not to mention that it was dark at this time, the craggy rockery around her alone was enough for her to be suspicious, and she ran a little faster.

The more nervous she is, the more she makes mistakes, she doesn't run tightly, she stumbles under her feet, and the whole person falls to the ground. At this moment, Sensei said that she was panicked, and her tears were about to fall.

Fortunately, Second Master Qi also stopped a few steps ahead of her. She got up in a hurry and hurried to catch up with the second master. I don't know if the second master can't see clearly, his pace gradually slowed down, and Shi Jin barely kept up.

There was no danger all the way back to Qingfeng Temple, and the painting really hasn't come back yet.

The main room was brightly lit, and Shi Jin took advantage of the light to see that a piece of skin had been ground off his palm.

Second Master Qi seemed to think of something, turned around and walked out of the main room, and ordered, "I'll read my son's book again, and don't come in without instructions." ”

It is exactly the meaning of the brocade. She blessed her body, answered yes, and went back to the ear room.

The skin worn off the palm of his hand was not tight, at most it was a faint pain, but the wound on his knee was a little hideous. At first, when my son lifted his pants, he felt a little rough and painful.

It's not easy to find medicine at the moment, Shi Jin bit his lip, drained some tea from the coarse porcelain teapot next to the bed to clean the wound, and found a clean and soft cloth from the dustpan to bandage the wound.

After treating the wound and cleaning the hands, it happened to be the time when Zhihua came back. Zhihua first walked around the study, saw that there was nothing important, and came to look for Shijin again.

Seeing the red marks on Shi Jin's hand, she couldn't help sighing, "You're not careful!" Wait. I have the good medicine that the second master rewarded me in the past, and it is appropriate to share some with you. ”

Shi Jin grabbed her, "It's not a big deal, and I'm not busy." ”

After a long groan, he wanted to ask who Ruyue was, and he didn't dare to inquire about the master's news, so he suppressed the conversation and said with a smile, "I fell and my leg hurt a little, good sister, you are still on duty tonight!" ”

Zhihua naturally didn't say much, let Shi Jin have a good rest, and then went to serve the second master with his heart.

Let's say that early in the morning of the second day, after Shi Jin waited for the second master to leave, he finished tidying up the second master's room as usual, and then rushed to the front yard account room.

Today is the day of the moon. In the other yards, the grandmother in charge or the housekeeper mother first brought it back and distributed it to the little maid. The second master was too lazy to take care of these, and there was no housekeeper in the courtyard, so the little maids developed the habit of going to the account room to withdraw the monthly salary.

"Shi Jin is, this is your monthly salary, a total of two taels of silver, just sign here or press a handprint." The bookkeeper who was in charge of distributing the moon silver was a young man, and when he saw Shi Jinmian being born, he had a good temperament.

When Shi Jin signed his name, the bookkeeper was even more surprised.

There are not many literate maids, and even if they can write their own names and surnames, they are mostly painted according to cats and tigers, and they are not very neat. However, when I saw that the brocade character was sharp, it was strong in the roundness, and it was rare to be in a class of its own.

The words of the capital are like their people, this girl, I am afraid that she is quite literate!

Without waiting for Mr. Bookkeeper to think about it, Shi Jin took his share of the case, and blessed Mr. Bookkeeper again, and then went back with the money.

She reported to the housekeeper on the eldest lady's side for a while, took a day off, and then packed up her newly made clothes and went to visit her brother.

Changing out of the tender green summer shirt and wearing an eye-catching jingchai hemp skirt, Shi Jin packed up a small baggage, said hello to Weaving and Si Qi, and then went out of the corner gate of the Hou Mansion.

In addition to the stalls and hawkers, there are restaurants, cloth shops, restaurants, teahouses, and bookstores...... The list goes on and on.

Shi Jin first went to the pharmacy to dispense full-term medicine, and then bought some pastries to eat, and then rented an ox cart and went to Nanshi.

Cui Xiucai's home is in the civilian area south of Haojing City. The houses there are stretched, mostly low and dilapidated, with only the occasional renovated houses looking shiny.

Shi Jin followed the direction in his memory to make the old man pulling the ox cart turn left into the third alley, and then he got off the car alone with five copper plates.

Some familiar neighbors saw Shi Jin come forward to talk, and Shi Jinju greeted them one by one with a smile.

"Ouch, Miss Cui, but came to see your cousin?" Aunt Zhou, who lived in the same alley, saw Shi Jin and immediately smiled like a flower.

"Exactly, bring some medicine to my brother by the way." Shi Jin answered, walked to the seventh black mottled wooden door, and knocked lightly on the knocker.

After a while, a tall and thin man came to open the door, it was Cui Xiucai.

At first glance, when he saw Shi Jin, Cui Xiucai was quite restrained, and hurriedly let Shi Jin in, and saw Aunt Zhou looking over here.

Greeted Aunt Zhou embarrassedly, Cui Xiucai hurriedly closed the door of his house.

Cui Shinian, who was writing in the room, heard the voice of his sister's voice, and he had already put down the brush and pounced on him like a milk swallow throwing into the forest.

"Sister!" Shi Nian hugged Shi Jin's legs, and his eyes turned red all of a sudden.

Shi Jin didn't feel good in his heart. She touched Shi Nian's head, "How are these days?" Are you sick? Is there any obedience? ”

Cui Xiucai saw that this pair of sisters and brothers had a lot to say, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Go into the house and say what to do in the courtyard!" ”

Shi Jin couldn't help but smile gratefully, took Shi Nian's hand, and led him into the main house together.

This Cui Xiucai's house is quite cramped, the bedroom study is self-contained, as soon as Shi Jin entered the house, he saw Cui Xiucai's underwear hanging on the hanger.

Cui Xiucai obviously saw it too, and hurriedly threw the patched underwear into the bed.
