Chapter 201 Cheap Brother
Even though he was feeling uneasy, Shi Jin was brought into the Ke family by the second master.
Hearing him tell the concierge, "The young daughter of the Ke family, Ke Shi, came to visit with her uncle." Shi Jin's face couldn't help but turn a little red.
The second master and her new identity are Ke Jin, the sister of Ke Yuebai, the head of the Ke family.
Everyone in Luocheng knew that Ke Yuebai had a half-brother named Yao Guan in his early years. Later, due to poor health, he resigned from home and went to Zhaoyun Temple to seek medical advice.
Later, as Ke Jin grew older, he married away from home and had little contact with the Ke family in Luocheng.
Therefore, when the concierge passed the news of Ke Jin's return to Ke Yuebai, his bearded face was slightly stunned.
"Besides these, what else did the man say?" Ke Yuebai asked again with a delicate mind.
"There is also this small seal. The uncle said that the master will know it as soon as he sees it." The concierge was surprised. How could the master be sure that this man said something else?
Ke Yuebai took the small seal and put it on his sleeve to identify it carefully.
The seal is a good seal, made of smoky green jade, and the white cloud-like texture on it is clearly distinguishable.
After seeing Xiao Zhang clearly, Ke Yuebai's voice trembled with excitement, "Where is that person? Please come in quickly!"
"Still at the door, I will invite the girl and uncle in now." The concierge confirmed that these two people were not just poor relatives, he couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly bent over and ran out.
After inviting people into the main room where the banquet was held, Ke Yuebai saw Shi Jin following Qi Mojing.
His eyes flickered slightly, but he still smiled and stepped forward, "I haven't seen you for many years. How is my sister doing these years?"
With Qi Mojing by his side, Shi Jin also had a smile on his face, "It's okay. After more than ten years of separation, my brother has gray hair."
The two excused themselves to chat for a few words, and Ke Yuebai's eyes naturally focused on Qi Mojing, "Is this my uncle?"
Shi Jin followed with a smile and said, "That's right. It's a coincidence that my sister's husband's family originally had the surname Qi, and they were distant relatives of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion. However, in recent years, the family has been separated and there is no way to make a living. The two of us have
After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that my brother would be closer here, so I wanted to ask my brother to help me see if I could arrange an errand for him properly."
As soon as she said these words, the servants around her seemed to think that she was trying to raise her wealth.
He was said to be a relative of the Marquis of Jing'an, so why didn't he go to the Marquis's residence? Why did he come to Luocheng?
I'm afraid that the clan connection is fake and it's just a gimmick to appetize people.
However, I really can't say this because I don't want to make my sister-in-law feel embarrassed. I don't think my master is warm to these two people? I'm afraid he still cares about their childhood friendship!
Ke Yuebai couldn't help but laugh, "It's easy to talk, easy to talk. Since I am Ke's brother-in-law, how can I be bothered by such a trivial matter? Why don't my sister talk to the women at home first? My brother-in-law and I can have a nice chat."
When Shi Jin saw Qi Mojing calmly nodding towards her, she agreed with a smile, turned around and followed the maid out of the house.
After everyone around him had dispersed, Ke Yuebai led Qi Mojing to the study.
Playing with the small seal in his hand, he couldn't help but glance at Qi Mojing again, "Your Highness, Fifth Prince...what do you have to say?"
"It's not a big deal," Qi Mojing took out a letter from her arms, "Of course it's just for Mr. Ke to recommend me for a job."
Ke Yuebai took the letter and read it over and over again before his face became gloomy and said, "Your Highness really posed a problem for Ke!"
"The Ke family has deep roots in Luocheng. I don't think this little thing can trouble Mr. Ke." Qi Mojing said with a smile.
What is this trivial matter?
Putting a person of unknown origin into the Luocheng Guards is like putting your head on your crotch, don't you want it!
Ke Yuebai was so filled with hatred that he went back and forth several times, and finally stood in front of Qi Mojing, "I will only place you here, the rest has nothing to do with me, Ke, and the Ke family!"
"This is natural." Ke Yuebai's calm and calm look made Ke Yuebai feel a lump in his heart.
.
Shi Jin was led by the maid, and together they met with Yue, the head of the Ke family, and several aunts in the mansion.
Ke Jin left home when he was young. Although Yue had already married into the Ke family at that time, she had only been with her for a long time and had not seen her a few times, so he did not have any doubts about her.
With rare enthusiasm, she pushed the cards in front of her and took Shi Jin to meet the female family members at home. She introduced the aunts who were looking after the horse crane one by one, and then sighed again,
"Girl Su has been married a long time ago and is not in the house right now, otherwise you would be able to meet her."
After saying that, she smiled and said to the aunts, "It's rare for my sister to come back today. There will be another card table here. Let's have a good time with my sister."
Shi Jin clicked his tongue.
In the past, she was just a cautious maid, how could she ever accompany these ladies to a horse-drawing ceremony?
Yue Shi was so enthusiastic that he pressed her down on the card table and sat down, then grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds and gave them to her, "Just play with it, there's not enough."
Shi Jin, who was rushing to put the ducks on the shelf, played the cards one by one under the guidance of Aunt Du on the side.
"But what should I do?" She touched a card, feeling quite hesitant.
While she was bothering herself, a slender hand reached out from behind, pinched the card that made her hesitate, and played out the other card.
"Like this." He leaned over slightly and whispered to her.
Shi Jin raised his head slightly and saw the man's lightly pursed lips and smooth mandible.
"Two...has your husband finished speaking?" Shi Jin asked softly.
"With the honor of being a lady, my eldest brother will naturally find a good job for me." Qi Mojing said with a chuckle.
When Mrs. Yue saw Qi Mojing, her eyes lit up, "Is this Jin'er's uncle? He looks really good!"
She couldn't help but joked, "It's a pity that Su'er got married early, otherwise I, as a mother, would have to think carefully about it."
Qi Mojing nodded slightly and called "sister-in-law."
He was usually solemn and calm, but now he came to the backyard with a calm attitude. Shi Jin cast a "help" look at him, hoping that he would take him away from this whirlpool.
Qi Mojing received Shi Jin's hesitant eyes and smiled lightly, "Madam, you are tired? Why don't I help you go back and have a rest?"
"Jin'er came back in Chuchu, where do you live now?" Mrs. Yue looked at Qi Mojing. The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became. She only joked, "You still have the yard you used to have. If you don't have a place to stay, you might as well stay at Ke's house."
Stay longer."
"I'm sorry to bother my sister-in-law. I've been discussing buying a yard with my husband these days. Can my sister-in-law help me with the details?" Although Shi Jin said this, he looked at Qi Mojing.
Qi Mojing whispered again, "All my husband's money is with my wife, she is the one who makes the decision."
Although his voice was small, his words were extremely clear, and when they fell in the ears of all the aunts, they all sighed with emotion.
Especially Aunt Du, who was sitting next to Shi Jin, glanced at Qi Mojing and then at the sisters around her. She suddenly pushed the card and said with a pout, "I won't play anymore, I won't play anymore! My sister's heart was filled with panic.
I can’t play anymore.”
The rest of the people were all talking about Shi Jin, trying to teach her some skills of charioteer.
Shi Jin was wrapped in the crowd by her aunts. While dealing with the crowd, she looked at the second master.
The second master just looked at her and smiled, said something to Mrs. Yue, and then said to Shi Jin, "Madam, why don't you, under the grievances of your mother's family, go with the housekeeper to see the house for your husband. Once it is confirmed, I will hand it over to you."
Money is good."
As soon as he said these words, the aunts around him became even more angry, and they all criticized Ke Yuebai.
Shi Jin listened to these women talking about their cheap "brothers". They didn't even nod or shake their heads. They just pursed their lips and laughed with everyone.
