Houmen maidservant, she doesn't want to be in power

Chapter 85
After entering the room, he saw Shi Jin sitting at the table in a daze, staring at the dim candlelight in a daze.

A servant of the post house brought food and a pot of hot tea.

Because it was too late, I only ate four pieces of cakes that had already cooled down, and a small pickle.

The second master didn't care, he just picked up hot tea and poured some into the bowl, made two more cakes and ate it straight away.Seeing Shi Jin's surprised gaze, he couldn't help but ordered the remaining two cakes with bamboo chopsticks, "What's the matter? Don't you like it?"

Shi Jin shook her head, she just never thought that the second master, who was well-clothed and well-fed, could endure such hardship.

Immediately, he also took the bowls and chopsticks, took a piece of cake and tore it into small pieces according to the second master's method, soaked it in the tea, and took a small sip.

She hasn't eaten all day today, and she is already hungry.

The taste was unexpectedly good, and I didn't care about the image at the moment, so I ate it quickly and silently from the bowl.

The two of them ate and washed briefly before they wanted to settle down.

However, the bed is not big, and there is only a thin quilt, Shi Jin hesitated for a moment, and then discussed, "Second Lord, let's sleep on the bed, and this servant will fetch the brocade quilt from the carriage, and rest on the bench for a night. Can."

The second master glanced at her, knowing that she was still annoyed by the day's affairs, so he didn't want to force her.Immediately got up and said, "I'll go and squeeze with Shi Mo, you can rest."

After all, she walked out without hesitating, and when she reached the door, Fang looked sideways at her and said, "Remember to lock the door at night, the post station is quite chaotic after all."

Shi Jin originally thought that the second master must be as rogue as Bai Ri, but he did not expect that he would become a modest gentleman now.

She naturally didn't have the face to invite Second Master to share the bed, because she nodded obediently, "I know Second Master."

Shi Mo's room is next to it.

He ate dry food during the day and didn't eat at night.Because of the rush all the way, I am very sleepy at the moment.

The second master knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.However, through the door panel, he could also hear the snoring like thunder, obviously he was fast asleep.

He had a dark face right now.

Thinking of going downstairs to find Yi Cheng and arrange a room for him, but as soon as he passed Shi Jin's room, he heard a terrified cry inside.

The cry was a little frightening, but he suppressed it desperately, for fear of disturbing other people's dreams.If it wasn't just passing by, it would be difficult for anyone to notice.

Qi Mojing paused, and was hesitating whether to knock on the door to ask what was going on, when he saw the door was suddenly opened from the inside, and Shi Jin ran out of it with a face full of panic.

Unexpectedly, the second master was standing at the door, and she threw her head on him without paying attention.

"What's wrong?" Second Master asked, patting her on the back with his hand.

Shi Jin opened the distance between the two, with panic still in his eyes, "There's a mouse in the quilt!"

God knows she just lay on the bed, pulled off the thin quilt, and was about to sleep, when a big mouse climbed onto her feet.She was terrified and fell off the bed with a cry.

"Then... Shall I go in and have a look?" He coughed lightly and asked her.

"It's okay." Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, and managed to calm down and said, "The mouse should have run away at this moment, Second Master, let's go to sleep, good night!"

After finishing speaking, she closed the door with lightning speed, and the sound of the door bolt being inserted across the door came through the door.The second master's raised arm stretched out in such a lonely way, and then put it down in embarrassment.

After a long time, with a sneer, the second master went to find Yi Cheng to arrange the house...
.
Although Shi Jin sternly rejected the second master, he was worried in the end.

Every time I wake up from the drowsiness, I can always hear the rustling sound floating in my ears.

Especially when she thought about the feeling of that furry idiot climbing up her toes little by little, she only felt that every inch of her skin was covered with goosebumps.

He couldn't sleep all night, and the next morning, when the sky was still dark and Shi Jin was about to fall asleep, he heard Shi Mo's knock on the door.

She got up in a hurry, ignoring the meal, and hurried into the carriage with Shi Mo.

The breakfast meal is ready, and the steamed stuffed buns are still steaming.As the carriage shook for a while, several people started on the road again.Second Master threw her a steamed bun, Shi Jin took it, biting it in small bites in fear.

It's rare to see a ready-made maid like her. Although Shi Jin received the second master's buns, he felt uneasy after all.

The second master didn't know when he got out of bed, but today he is still wearing a black robe, but the pattern is darker and restrained, so it's inconvenient to show it when he's outside.

Seeing Shi Jin's eyes were bruised and thick, he couldn't help asking her, "Didn't you sleep well yesterday?"

"It's okay." Shi Jin was ambiguous, not wanting to mention the thrill of last night.

Seeing that she refused to speak, the second master stopped asking, and immediately closed his eyes to rest his mind.

After Shi Jin finished eating the steamed stuffed bun, he wanted to drink water, but thinking of the embarrassing incident yesterday, he couldn't help licking his dry lips, barely suppressing the thirst, and his head became tired little by little.

Gradually unable to hold on, she found a corner to lean on, feeling drowsy to catch up on sleep.

Fortunately, the second master didn't suffer from madness today, and the two lived in peace along the way.

After another five or six days, they traveled all the way to the border of Xiangyang, and the number of hungry people fleeing famine on the way gradually increased.

Shi Jin raised the curtain on the car window, and saw through the gap that there were many hungry people sitting or lying in the commuting journey.All of these people were wearing thin clothes, and some of them were covered with mud that had been dried from the mud on their clothes. They all looked sleepy, as if they had been hungry for many days.

The guards of Xiangyang City all drove away these hungry people with spears, in case they took the opportunity to sneak into the city.

Her face showed a hint of unbearable.

The second master was still calm, "These people came out with surplus food to escape. They looked sallow and emaciated, but they still survived. The further they go to Nanyang Mansion, the more shocking they will be."

He lowered the curtains for Shi Jin, preventing her from seeing the mournful scene outside.

Shi Mo's carriage was inspected by the guards of Xiangyang city, and he gave them his pocket card, and entered the city easily.

Passing through the massive and simple Xiangyang city gate, Shi Jin turned his head and asked the second master, "Master came to Nanyang mansion this time, but for these people?"

"Yes, and no." The second master took a sip from the teacup, lowered his eyes and closed his eyes, "I'm here for the name."

It is indeed for the name, but not for his own name, but for the name of the fifth prince.

However, there is no need to talk to her about these.

Shi Jin, on the other hand, knelt down solemnly on the felt blanket on the carriage, looking at him seriously, "No matter what the second master thinks, I know that the second master cares about the common people. Although Shi Jin is just a girl, here is I want to thank the second master for the kindness of the townspeople affected by the disaster!"

After all, she knelt down on the ground, looking extremely devout.

It didn't repel him like in the past, but it brought some respect and admiration.

The second master only wondered, "How do you know that I am aiming at the disaster victims? You can't say that the master only saw the profit here."

Shi Jin only looked at him with those black and white eyes.Her eyes were clear to the bottom, as if all the dirty thoughts were inside and there was nowhere to hide.

Is such a gentle Shi Jin her true face?

The second master thought to himself.
