Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Shower (Second Watch)

It's late September.

The second son of Qi was released from prison two days earlier. Shi Jin listened to Kite'er and said that the second son was not used to the hardships in prison, and he saw that everyone had lost some weight and was not very energetic.

The eldest lady really hurt to the bones, and all kinds of supplements were sent to the courtyard of the second son, vowing to raise him back.

These things are only done in private, but the old lady is hiding them to death, in case the old lady is not in good health, and the second son is aggrieved and can't stand it.

Shi Jin only smiled shallowly, "Since the eldest lady's edict is hidden, how do you know?" ”

Kite approached her, "The tonic is a big tonic, and the second son couldn't stand it, so he rewarded some to his subordinates." My dad got some because he was doing a good job in the stables. I only secretly took it out and sold it cheaply, and I got a full hundred and ten taels of silver. ”

Shi Jin couldn't help but smack his tongue, and a sarcasm from a poet of a previous dynasty suddenly popped up in his mind, "Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." ”

She hurriedly suppressed this sentence, and laughed at herself again, thinking that now that the peace has been going on for a long time, although the people's life is still not good, it is much stronger than the previous dynasty.

"Sister Shi Jin, the subordinates have been rushing to the second son's side for the past two days, all for some benefits. Are you going or not? If you go, let's go around the courtyard of the second son. The kite opened a pair of sparkling eyes and looked expectant.

It really surprised her with the hundred taels of silver. A little girl, even if you save for ten years, how much can you save?

Shi Jin looked at the dark and gloomy sky, and said with a smile, "I'm not going, how can I take turns when pies fall from the sky?" ”

There was even something she didn't say. Last time, because of the mention of the second son in the words, the second master "taught" her ruthlessly, if she did it again, she was afraid that she would dig a pit and bury herself.

Seeing that Shi Jin couldn't be persuaded to move, Kite had to reluctantly get up, "Qian Silk is moving, Sister Shi Jin, I'll go around, maybe people will also meet the second son?" ”

Shi Jin covered his mouth and smiled secretly, and his eyebrows and eyes were bent, "Go, go, when you become a rich woman, don't forget to invite me to tea." ”

"Don't forget each other." The kite nodded at Shi Jin with a heavy face, turned around and left.

Shi Jin covered his stomach and laughed again, and was about to get up from the low pestle under the corridor, not wanting the originally dark and gray sky to be like a hole, and the rain as thick as his little finger was like a silver long line, piercing from the sky, crackling and smashing into the courtyard. The rockery, which had not rained for a long time, instantly splashed with a layer of fine and dense water mist, and was smashed to the ground with the dust.

The rain was so heavy that it carried the wind and slanted under the corridor, and in a short time the water accumulated, and it meandered into a stream along the lacquered wooden floor of the corridor.

Not only Shi Jin, but also the chess and painting, and a group of little maids, all of them rushed to lower the blackout bamboo curtain on the verandah from mid-air, so as to block the rapid rain.

The copper hook on the bamboo curtain was gently pulled, and suddenly one by one the curtain tents were lowered, isolating the two worlds inside and outside the verandah. The light in the verandah became dimmer and dimmer, but the sound of the rain was like a stormy wave, with the sound of muffled thunder and rolling, faintly heard from the sky.

Shi Jin tugged at half of his wet sleeves, and heard Si Qi frown and complain, "Why is the rain so heavy?" Now that autumn has arrived, we must not pour like summer rain. ”

She nodded approvingly. Left but not at night, the autumn rain will definitely stop.

Even so, the sound of the rain was very disturbing, and because she went back to the ear room, she found a dress with cotton wool and wrapped it, and the cool air on her body dissipated a little.

For a moment, I thought about the timing of the kite's escape, and thought that she must be in the rain. But now that the rain is urgent, the sky and the earth are dark, and it is inconvenient to send umbrellas.

In my heart, I only hope that this girl will be smarter and find a place to hide from the rain, Shi Jin took out the silk thread again and wanted to tie the rope.

As soon as she got up, she was so impetuous that she let it go.

The previous time, the second son Tete came to collect debts, and asked her to make a pendant with him. But thinking of the second master's uncertain temperament, she didn't dare to start.

Later, because the second son was imprisoned, this matter was suppressed by her again.

Now that the second son has been released from prison, Shi Jin wonders if he still remembers this trivial matter.

According to her, it is best to forget about this matter, so that the second master will know, and he will follow the food.

At the moment, she tossed and turned, thinking of the gentle nature of the second son, she made up her mind again, this pendant is not busy knitting. When the second son asked, he said that he had forgotten it.

Thinking of this, even she felt that she was not kind, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud at the moment.

She used to think about who bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard. Isn't she the same character?

If the second master wants to fall, she has to come out even if she doesn't sleep, how dare she be so perfunctory?

After thinking about it, even the sound of the rain outside the house was a little fainter......

.

It rained all afternoon, and the water column formed by the flying tiles of the corridor was like a water dragon, pouring down from the eaves, pouring into the bluestone slab in the courtyard with a surging sound, and splashing a string of splashes.

When it was time for dinner, the rain still poured down from the sky like ink, blending in with the dark night, as if there was no other sound between heaven and earth, only the color of the water.

Shi Jin began to fidget.

The second master has not returned home yet, she is a little hesitant, whether to rest in the ear room, or go back to the main room for the night as usual?

For a while, she thought that the rain was too loud, and she was afraid that it would overpower the sound of the second master coming back, so she resigned herself to her fate and put a thick quilt across the verandah, wanting to spread it on the feet of the main room.

At night, the wind howled, and a bamboo curtain swept open half of it, and the rain poured in with a heavy coolness on the ground, accumulating into puddles.

Shi Jin might as well step on two puddles, and the thin-soled embroidered shoes also brought some coolness. She tightened the thin quilt in her arms a little closer to keep it from raining.

When she entered the main room, closed the door and lit a candle, her heart calmed down.

The second master was not there, and she was really bored on a rainy night, so she spread her feet and lay down to rest by herself.

In the first half of the night, she was still a little more vigilant, and subconsciously wondered if the second master was back. In the second half of the night, the sound of the wind and rain almost became the background, against her dreams, raging in her sleep.

The next morning, Si Qi went into the house to clean up, and saw that Shi Jin was still asleep on his feet, so he called her up.

Shi Jin was still a little unconscious. It's too dark outside the window, which makes people feel like they're in a dream.

"Why is it still raining?" She rubbed her eyes, heard the crackling rain outside, and suddenly sobered up.

Si Qi didn't return home last night, and when he heard this, he frowned and looked out the window, "Such a heavy rain, if it doesn't clear up in time, I'm afraid that many tenant farmers' houses will not be able to bear it." ”

There was a moment of silence in both of them.

Shi Jin put away the thin quilt, got up and washed, and had breakfast with Si Qi and Zhihua, and the three of them sat at the door of the main room together, watching God wield himself.

The rain has been slow or heavy, and there is no sign of stopping. Si Qi's eyebrows were raised, and he said in a deep voice, "There is one thing, I don't know if it's true or not......
