Chapter 143 Going to Beijing to take the exam Cui Xiucai

Shi Jin was shocked and then embarrassed.

She almost ran away, but as soon as she heard the second master's voice, she didn't care about hugging Qin, and ran faster than a rabbit holding her pile of things.

When the second master came out from behind the flower stand, he saw a man holding Qin whose face was paler than rice paper. How could there be half a figure of Shi Jin?

"Second, Second Master..." Baoqin's legs went weak and he knelt down in fright.

The second master narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling extremely bored even looking at her, and his voice became colder, "It's time to report to mother and clean up the maids in the yard."

With a "boom", Baoqin's mind seemed to explode, and he looked at the second master in disbelief.

This is the most cold and arrogant second master in the entire Hou family. Even if he is not satisfied at all, he can kill other people's lives!

Before she could tell, the second master had already passed her and headed towards the direction Shi Jin left.

.

Shi Jin might as well have been willful by chance, and was told off by the second master, and he felt a little uneasy at the moment.

She thought for a while, then put the remaining pack of snacks on a plate and carried it to the main room.

After walking around the main room, there was no sign of the second master, so Shi Jin thought that the second master might not have come back yet.

Shi Jin originally maintained his composure, but now when he was teased by the second master, his face turned red, his heart beat like a drum, and his inner face was completely lost.

Afraid that the jealous person would be angry, she talked about Cui Xiucai's recent return to Beijing to take the exam in an understatement.

It was not until the first month that she cut the cloth. Before she could clean it up, Cui Xiucai hurriedly entered the capital.

Although there is encouragement in this, Cui Xiucai was naturally happy to hear it.

Shi Jin didn't want to argue with him on this topic anymore, so he only told the second master what he had seen and heard during the day.

She just put the plate on the small table on the Arhat's couch, and someone hugged her from behind.

It was only the fourth day of February, and there were still five days before the exam started. Seeing how busy Shi Jin was, he also felt some gratitude in his heart, and said to Shi Jin, "Don't be busy, such a small thing is not good."

Thank you for taking care of everything."

Cui Xiucai squeezed the hand behind his back hard, and then gradually loosened it. There was a gentle smile on his upright and thin face, "This matter is not urgent. If you are willing, I will ask the master and the family to do it when the time comes."

It's okay for you to redeem yourself. He was my brother back then, so you are not my sister."

As soon as Shi Jin left, Zhang Xiucai, who lived next door, poked his head out and said, "Brother Xu Zhang, is that your sister?"

Cui Xiu only had his clothes removed in October last year. If it hadn't been for Enke this year, he would have had to wait another three years.

As soon as these words came out, Shi Jin glared at him again. She really couldn't spit out ivory from the second master's mouth. She really overestimated him.

His words were so touching, Shi Jin nodded, "Well, I am also protected by my family."

"Then you should pay more attention." Shi Jin took a few more sachets containing fragrant pills and gave them to him, and then pointed out to him, "This green sachet contains herbs that can clear your mind and improve your vision.

With it, you will be more awake while reading and writing articles. This red sachet contains medicine to prevent and treat dysentery and abdominal pain, so as to avoid eating unclean food and causing physical discomfort; and this one is for protecting the liver and nourishing the stomach.

I remember my cousin has a bad spleen and stomach, so it should be good to use it..."

The second master seemed to be thinking about it. He tapped his fingers on the table and glanced at Shi Jin again, "...That's fine. After all, when it comes to generals, he can be regarded as half of my brother-in-law."

The two of them said no more, and went together to the restaurant outside the inn. Each ordered a bowl of noodles with poached eggs, and sat facing each other to finish eating.

The cool cold fragrance made her mind freeze, and the second master's voice reached her ears with a hint of laziness and ridicule, "How are you doing today?"

After confirming that Cui Xiucai had nothing to worry about, Shi Jin said goodbye to him and headed back.

She instructed him carefully, with a serious look on her face as she spoke.

Cui Xiucai was so grateful for this kind of carefulness. He looked down at her and took the bunch of colorful sachets, "My cousin, you are careful. I will keep these in mind, don't worry. It's just my cousin, no more."

What do you want me to do?"

After saying this, he paused briefly and added, "...my aunt?"

Shi Jinbei bought a Yuelai restaurant to the west of Gongyuan. The daily rent alone cost two hundred yuan, not to mention food and drink.

The plan had been decided, and the second master continued to work and rest as usual. Only at night, Shi Jin made a lot of noises and called out many of his second uncles before he gave up.

.

It is not advisable to do needlework during the first month.

She turned around again, raised the corners of her mouth, and said with a bit of joy, "I'm living a good life in the Hou Mansion, really. Cousin, please relax."

The second master's breath was stagnant, and in an instant he smiled muffledly in his chest, "Rather than calling me grandpa, I prefer you to call me grandpa, Chengxian brother. Or, calling me second uncle along with the younger generation will also make..."

Although Shi Jin had prepared the ingredients, he put them aside in the end because of the old people's particularity.

Shi Jinyou was extremely cautious about this situation, so he took a leave of absence from the Hou Mansion, took Cui Xiucai with him, and made arrangements for the meals, so he could settle down a bit.

He didn't hide anything at the moment, "Everything is fine in the Shen Mansion, don't worry. This year's scientific examination, the Shen family has advanced me twenty taels of silver to support me until the scientific examination is over, so there is nothing wrong with it."

After talking about the inn arranged for Cui Xiucai, the whole main room suddenly became quiet.

However, Cui Xiucai smiled with some inspiration, "If I go to high school this time, I will be the son of a candidate, and I will have the capital to become an official. Shi Jin, although the candidate sounds not as noble as the prince of the Hou family, but..."

But scholars only get this chance every three years, so they should naturally be more cautious.

Before he finished speaking, Shi Jin turned around and lightly wiped the corners of his eyes, "Cousin, be silent."

She bit her lip lightly and glanced sideways at him. Knowing that he always liked to push his limits, she suppressed her shame and went back, "I'm having a great time today,...uncle."

Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, not knowing what else to say.

Only the sachets were the standard sachets in the Hou Mansion. Shi Jin was worried about the petty nature of the second master and did not dare to sew them himself.

Shi Jin also laughed, "I know that my cousin has outstanding literary talent and has the ambition to serve the country. This spring, he will definitely go to high school."

He obviously had some bad intentions when he said this, but Shi Jin stopped his mouth with a taro paste cake, and then he stopped.

Cui Xiucai glanced at him and said, "Cousin."

"Oh~ Cousin," Zhang Xiucai saw that the purse on his waist was exquisite and had a faint scent of herbs. His eyes lit up, "Huh? This purse of yours is quite good. What's the matter? It was given by my cousin?"

Seeing that Cui Xiucai ignored him, the scholar couldn't help but sigh, "Hey! It turns out that I also have a cousin who understands pain and warmth, but my mother does not agree with our matter, so I wronged her to marry to Xiahegou Village! Really!

It is really a living mandarin duck that has been torn apart into pieces. Just cherish it!"

Cui Xiucai lowered his eyebrows, paused briefly with his hand on the door panel, and then pushed the door open firmly.
