Chapter Seventy-Three: Crossing the River and Demolishing the Bridge
Xu had a break during the day, and the second master was not sleepy. After sending away the bearded man, he only took the book of "On Balance" and opened it to see.
When it was time for dinner, the darkness grew thicker and the chill became more and more chilly, and the Qingfeng Courtyard also cooled down a little bit.
Shi Jin yawned a little and stood aside.
Although the movements were subtle, the second master's gaze looked at her face, "But sleepy?" ”
Shi Jin's body stiffened at the moment, and his words were faster than his brain, "The slave is not sleepy, not sleepy at all." ”
However, the second master only threw the book on the small table, "Place it." ”
Shi Jin got the order, hurriedly waited for the second master to finish washing, and made the bed again, and then waited on the side for the second master to sit on the edge of the bed.
She hung up the second master's coat, muttered for a while, and said to him with caution, "Second master, the slave is all right now, just sleep tonight." ”
As soon as the words fell, the second master's cool gaze came over like a knife. Shi Jin looked at the second master's scalp-numbing gaze, with a stiff smile on his lips, looking up at him, refusing to show weakness.
After a while, he sneered, "Cross the river and tear down the bridge." ”
Shi Jin didn't understand, and when she saw the second master lying on the bed in a plain white shirt, she hurriedly laid out her feet and lay down.
Accustomed to sleeping in a comfortable and soft bed, the compact, short and hard footrest instantly became disgusting.
Shi Jin only felt some dense stinging pain in his waist, and he quietly put his hand on his waist and kneaded it gently.
However, after all, the injury was in the back of the waist, and she couldn't handle it, and she always felt that the kneading was like scratching the itch through the boots, and it didn't reach the point.
was turning over, and in the next moment, the second master's palm went down, and Shi Jin fell on the bed again.
She was startled and was about to get up, but she was so frightened by the second master's words that she didn't dare to move, "Don't move, or, do you want to help me heal?" ”
Thinking of the first two "treatments", Shi Jin couldn't wait to put his head into the brocade quilt and never come out again.
The light in the curtain was dim, and the second master couldn't see Shi Jin's face, but he could guess that her face was like fire. The mood was brighter at the moment, and he only grabbed her waist and pushed her into his arms.
Shi Jindeng's body stiffened, and he noticed that he was sloppy behind him, and his voice instantly cried, "Second master......"
However, the trembling cry was like a hook, and the second master's heart trembled.
He immediately moved the knobby hand at his waist down, and slapped the tip of her buttocks like a ghost.
At this moment, not only Shi Jin was so frightened that he stopped talking, but the second master also froze.
There was a sudden death silence in the bed tent.
After a while, the second master got up expressionlessly, walked barefoot around the tall and low screen of gold silk embroidered bamboo, and washed his hands with cold water in the copper basin along the wide edge.
The faint bloody qi on his fingertips instantly melted into the water, and the second master lowered his eyes, looked at his wet palm, and somehow, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
He turned out of the screen and walked to the side of the bed, and saw Shi Jin's figure kneeling at the foot of the bed in the dark, and the corners of his lips were pursed into a straight line, and he stopped, looking down at her with a pale face.
Shi Jin's heart trembled, and his head was buried deeper, "The slave maid just wanted to tell the second master, it's just, it's just ......"
This kind of thing, no matter how you open your mouth, it's inappropriate.
The second master's eyes were flat, he couldn't see his emotions, and his voice was flat, without ups and downs, "In this way, it's the master's mistake?" ”
Shi Jin didn't dare.
She was worried in her heart, this matter can be big or small. Along the way, men felt that women's blood was filthy and unlucky. However, this matter was not what she wanted, and Shi Jin was also aggrieved in her heart.
Therefore, the second master's questioning and silence are even more difficult to endure.
For a while, she thought of the people who bought and sold maids during the day, and her heart became a little gloomy.
Just as his thoughts were in turmoil, Shi Jin only felt a strong force to pick himself up.
The second master bent down, picked her up from the ground, and then stepped onto the pedal.
Shi Jin was frightened and didn't dare to say much, so he just hugged his neck obediently, lowered his head, and didn't say a word.
is not as rude as usual when she is directly scooped up on the bed by her feet, and the second master's movements at this time can be called gentle.
He gently and skillfully put Shi Jin on the bed, grabbed the brocade quilt and wrapped her tightly, and then lay on the side, as upright and serious as ever.
The tip of Shi Jin's nose was caged in the brocade quilt, only revealing a pair of black and white eyes, looking at the faint jaw contour of the second master in the dark, and the voice was muttering in the brocade quilt, and he couldn't really hear it, "Second master...... Will dirty the bedding......"
Qi Mojing frowned impatiently, and his eyebrows almost wanted to be twisted into a Sichuan character, as if this matter was even more confusing than the prison trial, "Then it's better to throw it away." ”
She shuddered, not daring to say more.
.
Some people rejoice and some people worry.
If Shi Jin is complacent that he was not sold, then Shen Starling of Dali Temple can be regarded as sleepless all night.
Shen Xing is about to be old, perhaps because of many years of prison trials, a dignified face with some wind and frost, just looking at people, it seems to have coercion, which is very awe-inspiring.
At this time, listening to the news reported by his subordinates, his heart was even more upset.
However, he didn't show it on his face, and only asked in a cold voice, "Then Chen Dong, is he really seriously injured?" ”
"My lord, my subordinates don't dare to assert it. Because Chen Dong was seriously injured, Concubine Chen specially made a message to His Majesty and let Chen Dong spend the night in the Tai Hospital. Because of the favor of the concubine, His Majesty actually agreed. At present, the news inside and outside the palace walls is not accessible, which is very unfavorable for the second son. ”
Shen Xing's eyebrows suddenly deepened, "Well, when Your Majesty is Ming tomorrow, this matter should be handed over to Dali Temple for trial." ”
Even so, he was uneasy. Not to mention whether Chen Guifei is willing to let Chen Dong come out to confront her, now protecting Chen Dong is intentionally giving the Shen family a dismount.
Just as he was wandering, the other hand came down to report, saying that someone could help solve Brother Ling's matter.
Shen Xingwen's eyes darkened. However, it was about his brother, so he straightened his clothes and went to the study.
When the flickering candle flame of the red round-bellied yarn lantern was placed on the flying corner flat head wide edge in the study, Shen Xing looked at the visitor.
The man had a half-white beard, a green shirt, a thin physique, and stood in the middle of the study with his conceited hands.
Seeing Shen Xing enter the study, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he smiled with a smile, "I heard that Shen Gong likes to read pleasantly, and it really deserves its reputation!" ”
Shen Xing was not impressed by the person in front of him, but he often heard that there was an old man in a green shirt beside the prince, who was similar to the person in front of him, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind at the moment, "Your Excellency is Mr. Li Jiehai next to the prince?" ”
The old man stroked his beard with his hand and showed joy on his face, "Yes, it is Li Jiehai, Shen Gong has good eyesight!" ”
At that moment, he no longer beat around the bush, only took out a piece of ochre-colored jade pendant carved with a red dragon panzhu floating slaughter and handed it to Shen Xing, "Shen Gong is righteous, His Royal Highness heard that Brother Ling was in prison, and sighed bitterly, and specially asked a certain person to come and solve problems for Shen Gong......"
