Shi Jin was suddenly so frightened that he couldn't breathe, shouted "Brother", and rushed to the side of the boulder.

Cui Xiucai was also startled and chased after him.

However, the two of them were a little farther away from Shi Nian, and they saw that Shi Nian's body was crooked, and he was about to fall into the water.

Qi Tianyi naturally heard Shi Jin's heart-rending shout, and when the corner of his eye swept to the boy's side, his body moved, and he pulled the sleeve of Shi Nian's shirt in a few steps.

Carrying Shi Nian ashore like a chicken, Shi Jin also roared.

There was still fear in her eyes, and faint tears flashed, but she was so angry that she shook her hand to pat Shi Nian's buttocks, "I told you not to go to the river, but you didn't listen!" Don't listen! ”

Shi Nian was also so frightened that he cried, holding Shi Jin and not letting go, "The straw grasshopper fell into the river, I just want to pick up ......"

A group of people here turned on their backs, but Qi Tianyi quietly turned around and left.

When he got there, Jin remembered that he had to thank the second son, but he saw that the table by the river bank had already changed people.

Shi Jin also lost the mind to eat wonton, and went home with a black face.

Cui Xiucai asked the wonton stall owner to serve two bowls of wonton, paid the money, and then followed home with two bowls of wonton.

Shi Nian also knew that he had made a mistake, so he finally coaxed Shi Jin to lose his anger and use wonton again, and the two sisters and brothers were filial again.

Shi Jin concocted the medicinal herbs he bought back into pills, which should be enough for a month, so he was at ease.

Seeing that it was not early, she quietly stuffed three hundred big coins into Cui Xiucai's book basket, then said goodbye to the two of them and turned back to Jing'anhou Mansion.

It was getting late, and it was impossible to find an ox cart. Shi Jin had to go to the Jing'an Hou Mansion in Xicheng step by step.

After walking for about half an hour, Shi Jin only felt a faint pain in his knees. Just as she wiped her sweat and continued to walk forward, there was a sound of horses' hooves kicking beside her.

Shi Jin hurriedly moved to the side, not wanting the carriage to move slowly not far behind her.

As soon as Shi Jin turned around, he saw Shi Mo's big white teeth grinning to the root of his teeth sitting on the wheel, "Shi Jin, it's so late, why haven't you gone back yet?" ”

"I went to see my brother." Shi Jin replied.

So Shimo stopped the carriage and let Shi Jin sit on the wheel, and then continued to move forward, "You still have a younger brother?" Why haven't you heard of it? Shimo asked.

"My brother has always been in poor health, and his family has fallen down because of my father's old behavior. A while ago, my brother was very sick due to the cold. In order to treat Adi's illness, I sold myself to the Hou Mansion. Shi Jin replied in a low voice.

"I see." Shi Mo also felt that Shi Jin was unlucky, and he had the heart to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak.

However, Qi Mojing, who was rubbing his eyebrows in the carriage, paused.

In his previous life, he never knew that Cui Shijin had a younger brother. Was it deliberately concealed, or did he die early due to illness?

Either way, Cui Shijin hid too much from him.

The eyelashes were slightly constricted, and there was no trace of emotion on Qi Mojing's face.

Taking advantage of the east wind of serving ink, Shi Jin went all the way back to the Hou Mansion.

She's on duty tonight.

Endured the fatigue of the day, Shi Jin helped the second master ask for hot water, prepared clothes, and made beds, so that he was familiar with the road and had to lay out the pedals.

Seeing that her younger brother is well, her heart has also let go, and she has been smiling when she serves the second master.

Qi Mojing was so impatient with her laughter that he buttoned his underwear, he turned around and glanced at Shi Jin, "Happy?" ”

Shi Jin didn't hide it, but said, "Yes, when I see my brother, I rejoice in my heart." ”

Qi Mojing didn't speak again, turned around and got on the bed. Shi Jin lit a soothing incense, then blew out the lights and candles, and groped his way up to the pedal.

In a drowsy state, she was about to fall asleep when she heard the person in the bed say, "I can't sleep, tell me a story." ”

The voice was still so clear that it was unpopular, but Shi Jin heard a trace of unreasonable trouble.

She was too sleepy, so she closed her eyes and whispered, "The second master might as well count the sheep, count them for a while and fall asleep." ”

"What? Don't want to talk about it? There was a hint of danger in that voice, and in the next moment, Shi Jin felt that one foot was kicking himself.

"Slaves don't tell stories very well." Shi Jin sobered up a little, and his body straightened.

"Then tell me about your family." Second Master Qi said lazily.

Shi Jin was not angry, but he could only start, "...... The first fifteen years of the slave were very carefree, and although the mother died young, the father was a loving father who was both father and mother. He is the head of Ji'an Hall, with a knowledge of pharmacology, and has taught slaves and maids eight or nine points. At that time, slaves and maids often pretended to be children, followed their father around to see doctors, and also had a grand wish in their hearts, thinking that they would become a female doctor in the future and help the world like their father. It's a pity that just after my father passed away, my uncle snatched the medicine shop, and even my brother's perennial asthma medicine was cut off......"

When Shi Jin said this, his voice gradually lowered, "...... When you get older, you know that life is worry-free, and it is nothing more than someone carrying the weight for you. Since his father has fallen, the slave and maid are the ones who shelter Adi......"

After she said this, her heart was as relieved as she was relieved. raised his eyes and looked at the bed, but saw that the second master was still sleeping in a dignified position. She couldn't help but ask softly, "Second master, but you slept?" ”

After not answering for a long time, Shi Jin stopped, covered his chin with a blanket, and only showed a pair of dark eyes outside.

When her sleepiness hit, the bed was still silent.

Following.

Shi Jin served Qi Erye to get up, and when he finished washing up, and Si Qi took over, Shi Jin had the strength to run to the kitchen to eat.

At the beginning of the month, there was plenty of money, and the kitchen stewed meat and vegetables early in the morning.

Shi Jin was greedy, and asked Aunt Zhao to fill half a bowl, and then he wanted to go back to the room to enjoy breakfast. But I know that the painting Baba followed, looking like he was gossiping and wanted to talk and stopped.

Shi Jin saw that she was uncomfortable, so he closed the door of the ear room and asked her with a smile, "But where did you hear the interesting story?" Let's hear about it. ”

"It's not an anecdote." Knowing that the thrush horns were flying, he sighed and said with emotion, "It's the Ruyue who said bad things about the second master before, last night, somehow, she fell into the lotus pond." After a while, Steward Zhou found her tulle red Luo skirt floating on the water, so he sent the boy to go down to fish. I didn't think about it, my body was soaked, and I was as white as a steamed bun......"

Shi Jin's hand trembled, and he suddenly remembered the red-dressed maid who stopped Second Master Qi the night before.

She grabbed Zhihua's hand and asked, "That Ruyue, is she a head shorter than you and me, with a plump body and a slightly round face?" ”

Zhihua couldn't help but exclaim, "Have you seen Ruyue?" That's the maid in the courtyard of the eldest son, and it seems that she has committed something recently, and she has been circled by the eldest grandmother. ”

Shi Jin is like falling into an ice cave.

Qi Mojun's words are still in his ears, "At this time tomorrow night, you go to Hefengtai, and I will wait for you there." ”
