Shi Jin was so angry that he didn't want to speak.

She lowered her head and served the second master to lie down without saying a word, and then rested on her feet.

The residual warmth on her lips was still there, and she secretly took her sleeve and rubbed it hard for a few rounds, until her lips were hot and painful, then she withdrew her hand and turned around and closed her eyes.

Qi Mojing only lay on the high couch, folded his hands on his belly, and opened a pair of eyes, thinking about the situation in the court.

Because of the scandal in General Weiyuan's mansion, the second prince went to His Majesty to plead guilty, was punished by His Majesty, and was sent to serve in the army.

The crown prince Xiao Ce came out to walk around because he was still in the grounding period, and was punished by His Majesty, not only grounded, but also sent him to Huangjue Temple to be a vegetarian for his biological mother.

This time, although both sides had broken their wings, in the end, the punishment of the second prince was lighter, and the crown prince Xiao Ce was greatly injured.

Although the second prince said that he was going to serve in the Gyeonggi Gongwei camp, this was not a good opportunity to win the hearts of the army. A discerning person can see at a glance that the prince's situation is precarious.

If he is the prince, he will inevitably fight back and survive!

Thinking of this, the corners of his lips couldn't help but pick a sneer, the snipe and the clam competed, how do you know that the fisherman profits?

.

At the end of the month.

Because Shi Jin had plenty of money, he received the monthly money of the month, and with the reward of the fourth lady, he took leave from the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion and went to Cui Xiucai's house to visit his younger brother.

However, she finally came to visit with a large bag and a small bag in an ox cart, and saw Cui Xiucai's family General Tie guarding the door, but half of the person was missing.

Shi Jin Nahan, in the past, at the end of the month, Ah Di and Cui Xiucai were at home, and Tete waited for her to come back, but why didn't she even see anyone this time?

She couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart, so she patted the door of the neighbor's house opposite.

It was Aunt Zhou who lived opposite Cui Xiucai. Hearing someone knocking on the door, she threw the clothes she was washing in the wooden basin, and rubbed a pair of wet hands on the cloth pocket around her waist, and then raised her voice, shouted a little wait, and walked to open the door.

The door of Aunt Zhou's house is a wooden door that has been accumulated for many years, and the top is mottled with black paint, which is very depressed. With the sound of a squeak, the faded door god on the door also trembled. Immediately after the door was opened, Aunt Zhou's round red face appeared in the crack of the door.

"Yikes! It's Miss Cui! Aunt Zhou might as well stand at the door with a curly girl, with a sincere smile on her face. Seeing Shi Jin's big bags of things, he knew in his heart that he was here to see Cui Xiucai, "But here to see Cui Xiucai?" ”

Shi Jin nodded, with a little shyness on his face, and some eagerness to hide, "It's true that I'm looking for my cousin and brother, but it's just that the iron general in the family guards the door, does Aunt Zhou know what is going on with them?" Why are you so eager? ”

Because of the anxiety in his heart, the words came out one after another.

Aunt Zhou saw that Shi Jinwei was really anxious, and she couldn't help but have a bright smile in her eyes, because she smiled, "Girl, don't worry, it's a happy event." Cui Xiucai hurriedly left with your brother two days ago, afraid that you wouldn't be able to find him, so Tete left a letter with you. Come with me into the house and get it. ”

Shi Jin heard Aunt Zhou say this, so he followed her into the courtyard.

The yard of Aunt Zhou's house is very rough, but it is full of life. There are a few chicken coops in the east, and there are a few poultry in them.

There are also a number of drying racks made of bamboo knots, the clothes on which are still dripping, and there is a wooden basin on the ground, and the clothes with patches in the basin are soaked in water.

However, because her family has a well, water is cheaper.

Shi Jin only took a cursory look, and he had a plan in his heart.

At this time, Aunt Zhou had already taken the letter, moved the pestle, and let Shi Jin sit in the courtyard, and then she did the laundry again.

While rolling up her sleeves, she turned her head to Shi Jin, "Xiucai was in a hurry, and he only said that he had an errand for a rich family as a western seat, and he couldn't delay it." Look at the letter, there is a mention in it. ”

Shi Jin's heart was a little settled, and he thanked Aunt Zhou with a smile, took the letter, and read it at a glance.

What was said in the letter was consistent with what Aunt Zhou said, because the main family was in a hurry, Cui Xiucai took his brother to the main family to teach. There is a doctor in the family who is specially raised at home, and Yu Adi's condition is also beneficial.

The only regret is that it is a little far away from the capital of Haojing, and it is difficult to take advantage of the monthly holiday to take a look at my brother.

Shi Jin was both relieved for Cui Xiucai in his heart, but also a little worried about his brother's body.

With all kinds of complicated thoughts, she thanked Aunt Zhou and left a few bags of snacks, and then said goodbye to Aunt Zhou and wanted to go back to Jing'an Hou's Mansion.

Aunt Zhou was not so generous as Shi Jin, she couldn't help but laugh a few lines, sent Shi Jin out of the alley, and found an ox cart for her, and then saw Shi Jin leave.

When she went back at this time, Shi Jin's mood was a little low, looking at the ball of dim sum medicinal herbs on the soles of her feet, and wearing a dress, her eyes were dyed with some sadness.

"Girl, this is visiting relatives?" The uncle who drove the ox cart was a lean old man, his beard and hair were all half white, and he couldn't help but talk to Shi Jin when he looked depressed.

Shi Jin smiled and shook his head, "I wanted to go and see my brother, but I didn't expect them to move away." ”

The old man heard Shi Jin say this, and also felt that he was sad about Shi Jin, and couldn't help sighing, only shouting at the old cow to stagger forward, through the downtown area, and around a few narrow alleys, all the way to the west.

Shi Jin sat on the flatbed ox cart, with his chin on his knees, his eyes were misty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Suddenly, the bullock cart came to a sudden halt and hit her back on the edge of the car, with some pain in her shoulder blades, and Shi Jinmao raised her head blankly.

I saw three or five reckless men standing in front of the ox cart, looking at Shi Jin.

The reckless man at the head was tall, dressed in a kudzu cloth jacket, decorated with a few brown patches, with a beard and a hooked nose, and was very fierce.

There was a slight doubt in his eyes, he turned his head to look at the thin man on the side, and muttered in a low voice, "Didn't you say that he was a handsome guy?" What kind of maid? ”

The skinny man was also a little confused, "Right?" What's going on? ”

Where had the old man who drove the ox cart seen such a battle, he directly shook the rope and arched his hand towards the opposite side, and said reluctantly, "Dare to ask a few masters, but do you have something to advise?" ”

"Instruction doesn't count." The bearded man headed by Shi Jin faced Shi Jin, "Are you a descendant of the Marquis of Jing'an?" ”

Shi Jin's heart chuckled, and he looked at the past with clear eyes at the moment, "The slave family is the Huansha next to the lord of Yichang County of the Shengguo Mansion, and the special is for the lord of Yichang to come out to buy, who are you waiting for?" ”

When she said this, her chin was slightly raised, and her face was a little arrogant and arrogant, and she only pinched her hands in her sleeves, her nails sunk into her palms, and she forcibly showed her cowardice without teaching herself.

"Xu is wrong?" The thin man touched his head, puzzled.

Shi Jin frowned, and his voice also raised, but he was not afraid, and the words fell slowly like a pearl on a jade plate, "What?" Could it be that the Shengguo Mansion has entanglements with you? Or do you want to join me in arguing in front of the county lord? ”

Her words were so loud that they made the people on the other side wander.

Shi Jin didn't care about them, he only sneered and said to the old man, "Let's hurry back to the house, I want to see, which one is so short-sighted, even the county lord's maidservant dares to stop it." ”

After she finished speaking, she sat still and didn't look at the people opposite.

The old man saw that several people on the opposite side were hesitant, so he immediately took the opportunity to catch the car and continued to move forward.

The ox cart almost wanted to pass by the reckless man on the opposite side, Shi Jin glanced at these people, sneered at himself, and lowered his eyes to concentrate on the corners of his shirt and skirt.

However, his heart was as dense as a drum, and a heart hung in his throat, but there was a faint sweat in his palm, and his back was also damp.
