Chapter 1
On a summer afternoon, the cicadas chirp hoarsely.

The scorching sun is shining, and all things are tied together, even the veranda flowers, insects, birds and willows in Jing'an Hou Mansion are all frightened by the power of the sun, they quietly lower their heads and cover their voices, not daring to show it freely.

Shi Jin's nose was dripping with sweat, and his face had two obvious blushes under the scorching sun.

She pursed her lips, and asked cautiously, "Nurse Yu, how long will it take to arrive at Second Master's residence?"

The woman, who was neatly dressed in a dark green long-breasted bikini, covered herself as if she was stuffed into a cover, turned her head and gave her a sideways glance, and raised her eyebrows impatiently, "Why? The little lady is so precious , After walking a few steps, you can’t walk anymore?”

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Yu Nanny's words, Shi Jin hurriedly apologized, "Yu Nanny was joking, since the slaves have been sold into the Hou's mansion, naturally they dare not be exclusive. It's just that the weather is hot, and Yu Nanny led the way all the way. Slave, I'm afraid it will make Mammy feel hot."

She was very careful with these few words, and tried her best to please Mammy Yu's expression, and she even talked a little more.

"Pull away those little thoughts you shouldn't have. You must know that the maids in the second master's room must abide by their duties. The first two beautiful maids who were kicked out of the house were all because of doing something they shouldn't have done. Thinking, that's why the second master rejected it. To say something that shouldn't be said, the second master's appearance is ranked first in the entire Haojing as the Langyue Xianzi. I don't know what the old lady thinks, but you are alone The maid who has just entered the mansion is assigned to the second master."

Aunt Yu led Shi Jin along the way while chattering.

At this time, the sun was scorching, and Shi Jin hadn't had any water or rice in the morning, his stomach was burning like fire, but his body was hot and cold.Her footsteps were like stepping on cotton balls, she felt that she had nowhere to settle, and even Nanny Yu's rambling voice was sometimes distant and near, illusory.

Just when the tip of her tongue pressed against the root of her teeth and tried her best to support her, Nanny Yu opened her mouth like an amnesty, "Here, the second master's yard is here."

Shi Jin followed Aunt Yu into the courtyard, and followed her to stand under the corridor of the main house without caring about the surrounding scenery.

Fortunately, there was finally a shade under the corridor, and the blush on her face dissipated a little.

Nanny Yu cautiously greeted the chess player in the second master's room, and then said with a smile, "The old lady said that the second master lacks servants here, so she specially asked the old slave to give it to the second master for fear of hurting the two girls. Master sent a capable maid."

Siqi's whole person is like a thin willow supporting his waist, even his appearance is also slender, with a romantic posture that is getting wider and wider.Hearing what Yuma Yu said, she also had a somewhat alienated smile on her face, "I'm sorry, Mommy."

Looking at Shi Jin behind Nanny Yu in a blink of an eye, Si Qi was a little surprised, "What's the matter? Looks like he doesn't look very good."

Shi Jin only felt a buzzing in his head.She blesses her body a little bit, and her voice is also soft, without strength, "It's a little hot, it's okay."

"In that case, let's go into the house and have a rest." Siqi came over to hold Shi Jin by his arm, and led her into the house.

Entering the door with the front foot, Siqi turned his head halfway again, "I'm in a hurry here, so I won't see you off."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Yu Mama smiled all over her face, watching Siqi enter the room, and then pulled her face down and spat in a low voice, "Little whore! It's because of the second master's defiance! When will I be kicked out?" Let's go to the manor, let's see how crazy he is!"

Here, as soon as Shi Jin entered the door, a chill came over his face.

The room is not luxurious, only some raised flower tables are placed in the four corners.On the flower table are flower pots and porcelain vases with green pine glaze with blue background and landscape.Seasonal flowers and green plants are dotted among them, which makes you forget your worries.

Near the flowers, there is a whole painting of Qiu Zhenren's landscape painting on the wall of the east chamber.The mountains and rivers spread into a piece, and gradually descending, you can see a big river passing through the mountains, converging like a waterfall, and ink a flat boat in the steep and turbulent place, which has the potential to break through the obstacles and go upstream.

A little ahead of the huge landscape is a wide-striped table with flying horns carved with flowers, birds, fish and insects. On the table are some paintings that are displayed or collected, and the Four Treasures of the Study are placed in a corner.Standing next to it is a short table, on which there is an ink-colored earthenware pot with simple stripes and several scrolls of calligraphy and painting inside.

Shi Jin glanced at the other end of the case, and found his interest.

It's midsummer right now, and it's hard to get rid of the bitter summer, and obviously this second master is no exception.

A little further away on the other side of the table is a rockery with exquisite landscape carvings. Between the rocks and rocks, there are some half-melted ice blocks on the place where the water surface should be. Set in wonderland.

Siqi brought a short bamboo tree and placed it near the door, "Sit down, I'll bring you a bowl of sour plum soup."

Shi Jin grabbed Siqi's cuff.Now that she was soaked by the faint coolness, her mind also cleared up a bit, "Don't bother me, sister, I feel better at this time."

Siqi looked at Shi Jin with a slight smile, and he was also in a good mood, "It's okay, the second master is not the master who treats his servants harshly, just sit down."

Hearing what Siqi said, Shi Jin felt relieved.

Siqi picked up a weird copper pot with two ears and a long mouth and a long mouth on the rosewood eight immortals table with carved cranes and clouds on the left hand side, and picked up an upside-down bowl. When the spout was tapped lightly, a dark red water flow suddenly appeared. Pour into a porcelain white unbleached fine porcelain bowl.

The translucent red is slightly mixed with purple, and in the light from the window, it becomes more and more clear and attractive, making people unable to help but salivate, revealing a little desire.

Siqi brought the bowl of sour plum soup to Shi Jin, and at the end he also carried a roll of silk thread for tying nets.

The two sat opposite each other by the door, Shi Jin was a little cautious at this moment, so he slowly sipped sour plum soup and watched Siqi play chess.

The sour plum soup had obviously been soaked in ice, and a dense layer of water droplets had formed on the rim of the white porcelain bowl, even her hands were slightly wet.

Rubbing her hands on the dress at her knees for a while, she opened her mouth and asked Siqi in a low voice, "Your maidservant has just arrived, and there are still many things I don't understand. Can my sister raise something?"

The chess player kept playing, and when he heard Shi Jin's question, he answered her with a slight smile, "It's not really a point, but a few, my sister remembered it. First, the second master doesn't like others touching his Paintings, even if Second Master throws them all over the place, as slaves, we have to stay away from those paintings; At the moment, I'm afraid I'm doing rough work on Zhuangzi; thirdly, the second master likes caring and thoughtful people, and as slaves, we should think about everything for the master."

Having said that, Siqi's hands stopped, and he raised his eyes to stare at Shi Jin seriously, "It's very important, the second master doesn't like women touching, so be careful when you do things, otherwise you won't be punished no matter what." know."

Shi Jin nodded his head immediately, and took Siqi's words to heart little by little.

Although Siqi said that the second master treats his servants seriously, which one of these stakes is not walking on thin ice?
If it wasn't for the fact that her uncle had snatched away the pharmacy at home, and her younger brother was sick and needed money to recuperate, she wouldn't have sold herself to a wealthy family to do what a lowly person should do.

That is to say, I heard that the servant girls in the Hou Mansion are treated generously, and they can be released for marriage when they reach the age of 25, so why did she bother to come here?
Although I missed Huaxin, the future can be expected after all.

Thinking of this, Shi Jin gently put the sour plum soup aside, took a few pieces of silk thread from the chess player's hand, and helped to tie the net together.

Her hands are as white as jade, and her fingers are dexterous and lively. Siqi saw her fingers flying, twisting and twisting several strands of silk thread of different colors like a butterfly wearing flowers.The silk thread, which was clearly in her hands, was in the hands of this maid, but it seemed to have life and gradually took shape.After a while, a small pink flower with green branches and leaves was imprinted on the net.

Siqi's eyes also lit up, unexpectedly this new maid was quite dexterous.

"This is really new." She immediately developed a good impression of Shi Jin, and couldn't help but move closer to her, "Do you know how to weave a fan pendant? It just so happens that the second master just got a new folding fan, so I'm thinking about what kind of fan pendant to make. .”

Shi Jin pursed his lips and smiled, "I do."

She straightened a few clusters of silk threads, and interweaved them with bright colors on her fingers, supplemented by other silk threads, and twisted them into shapes one by one. It looked vaguely like a little rabbit.

The rabbit had a pair of bright red eyes and a short tail like a grain of rice. Most coincidentally, it was holding a green carrot in its mouth.

The entire fan pendant is no more than half the size of a finger, but it is vivid and naive.

Siqi couldn't put it down when he watched it, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart, it's so cute, I don't know if the second master can handle it?

Just as her thoughts were spinning, a clear and angry voice sounded from outside the door, "I'm so mad! What's wrong with you little bitch, you're good at gossiping! I'm not afraid that the second master will pull you out!" tongue!"
