Shi Jin was placed in the lower room of Seifu-in.

It was already night, and she didn't bother Zhihua, but only circled over and over again what the old lady said.

Grateful to the second master for taking precautions so early, she felt a little soft in her heart.

But the shackles of the world made her feel a little afraid and retreated.

How can there be a reason for a maid to marry a young master from a high gate? This is for her to hear it again, and she feels ridiculous.

But the second master's affection does not seem to be fake, she sighed lightly, she is a concubine, and she has climbed high.

Thinking like this, the more sober she became in her mind, and looking out the window at the bright moon, she was ashamed of herself for the first time.

It's the difference between cloud and mud, how can you get together in one place?!

Tossing and turning, Shi Jin carried a lantern embroidered with mountains and rivers at four corners and went out, turned his head and went to the second master's study.

In her spare time, she liked to look for books in the study, and the last time the "Three Character Classic" was also collected from the study.

The door to the study was empty, and with a slight push, the door creaked open.

Shi Jin took the lantern and looked around, but it was not much different from the past. Only there is a thick stack of books piled up on the table, and I think it is when Zhihua arranges the books, and temporarily puts them in the corner of the desk.

Shi Jin came closer with a lantern, took a booklet from the top of the book and looked at it carefully.

There are some old notes on the book, and it looks like the handwriting of the second master.

She couldn't help but put the lantern on one side, sat on the low couch, and recognized the second master's handwriting little by little.

The first half of the book is a series of ordinary annotations, and the handwriting is quite delicate, but the further back there are, the fewer the annotations, and even the handwriting is scribbled, which is quite uncertain.

Shi Jin checked the cover of the book, it should be an old thing ten years ago, I think that the second master was just a teenager at that time, and there was an undecided heart.

She closed the book and tried to put it back in its place, but she didn't want to, and a small page fell out of the book.

The small page is woven with gold-spun embroidery thread, thin as wings, and a silhouette of a woman is painted on it.

Shi Jin was curious, so he picked up the small page and placed it on the side of the lantern, so that he could carefully distinguish the description in the painting.

The woman's figure is slender, even the clothes she is wearing are also delicate, but there are no facial features on her face, only a few outlines, and she can't see the true appearance.

Curious, she flipped through a few more books, but she couldn't see any more pages. The eyes fell on the high and low mahogany double shelves on one side of the table, and a pot-bellied blue and white porcelain painting jar was placed on the ground.

Because of the first entry into the house, Si Qi told her that the second master's paintings could not be moved, and Shi Jin had never really seen the second master's paintings, and there was only one time, He used the blood beads on the corners of her lips into the painting, which was the first time she saw the second master painting.

Now that she saw the small page, she didn't know why she wanted to see the painting in the vat.

The thoughts in my heart are together, and I can't suppress them.

She bent down and pulled out a scroll of paintings tied with red silk from the painting jar, and slowly unfolded it on the table, revealing a stream of water as the scroll scrolled.

The stream comes out from the gap in the mountains, meandering, and the bright moon hangs high above the head, taking the meaning of reunion in the moon. However, the painting style is clear, only a fair woman crouching on the side of the stream, drinking from the spring.

Looking at the woman's description carefully, her face is unrecognizable, and only half of the side is blank.

It was late at night, so Shi Jinse shrank down and put the painting away, only then did he pick up another painting and unravel it.

This time it is a picture of a peony in the courtyard, and the woman's figure is becoming clearer, and her face is still white, and she can't describe it.

She seemed to be unwilling, and rummaged for a long time, trying to find the appearance of a woman, but found nothing.

Just as he was about to give up, Shi Jin's hand reached another painting.

She was too lazy to spread out the scroll, and with a casual glance, she recognized the rockery in the courtyard where the painting was being painted.

The red embroidered shoes next to the rockery tend to be black and brown because of the faint bloodstains, and they almost want to be integrated with the rockery. If others don't take a closer look, I'm afraid they can ignore the embroidered shoe.

As soon as Shi Jin saw this painting, he felt a faint pain at the corners of his mouth. She couldn't help but move a little faster in her hands, trying to put the painting away.

However, the painting was only half received, and her movements were another one.

There seems to be water on the ground near the rockery, and the reflection in the water is shallow, with a few strokes, it seems to be the shadow of two people's clothes.

She rubbed the lines of the water as if she couldn't believe it, but she felt that everything was like the moon in the mirror and the flowers in the water, and she couldn't see it really.

As if thinking of something, Shi Jin rummaged through the pile of picture scrolls for a long time before he found the picture scroll tied with red silk again.

Deliberately searching, Shi Jin squinted again into the stream.

The originally dark water of the stream was a water pattern raised by the wind, but there was still a faint reflection of the face in the water pattern.

Shi Jin brought the painting to the lantern to distinguish it carefully, but after seeing the faint eyebrows and eyes, the horror in his heart was wave after wave, and the whole person almost couldn't stand!

The reflection in the water is a little distorted, but a pair of light eyes are still faintly engraved on the surface of the water, which is exactly what she looks like!

She was startled, and threw the painting out, almost instinctively.

The scroll was dusted on the ground along with the scroll and displayed in the open space in front of the table.

Shi Jin heard his pounding heart, and after a long time, he picked up the painting and hurriedly wrapped it back into the painting jar.

The candles in the lantern burned out little by little, and with the last wisps of green smoke dissipated, leaving some faint candle flame in the study.

However, she didn't care about the lanterns that were changing day by day, and the whole person stumbled out.

The second master first told her that he had only had a dream for more than ten years, and the girl in the painting was the person he thought about day and night, right?

Thinking of this, she didn't know why, and her heart was a little sour. was so aggrieved that he wanted to find him, but he felt that it was really hard to say it.

Not to mention......

The painting of the second master has always been taboo......

Shi Jin's thoughts were confused, and it wasn't until the sky was white that she moved step by step to her ear room where she was temporarily resting.

Knowing that the painting got up early, I opened the curtain cage at this time, and I saw Shi Jin, who looked like a lost soul, walking step by step from the courtyard.

She was a little incredulous, rubbed her eyes, and then hesitated to speak, "Shi Jin? You're back? ”

However, the person in front of him did not react at all, and floated into the room as if he hadn't heard.

Zhihua only felt that Shi Jin was really strange today, because he took three steps and made two steps to keep up with Shi Jin, and patted her on the back of the shoulder, "I talked to you, why didn't you listen......"

Before she finished speaking, Shi Jin closed her eyes and planted the whole person on the ground.

Zhihua was startled, and the whole person also stepped back, still a little confused on his face, "I—I didn't use my strength...... Why did you faint? ”
