Chapter 23 Ginger Tea
Shi Jin pursed his lips and asked tentatively, "Shouldn't this slave make a pendant for the Second Young Master?"
Qi Mojing raised her eyelids and glanced at her lightly.
Shi Jin swallowed his saliva and said, "This slave should spend more time on taking care of the Qingfeng Courtyard and not be a plaything like this all the time."
Qi Mojing was a little impatient, so she took off the pendant of the rabbit's auspicious hat-wearing New Year greeting fan and threw it into Shi Jin's arms.
Shi Jin caught the pendant and stared blankly at the rabbit in his hand. An idea flashed in his mind, but he still felt unbelievable, "This slave should not be careless. You should make the pendant as exquisite as that Dr. Rabbit."
"
What a pity! She only had half a day and one night to do, and she did so much, how could she be as meticulous as Dr. Rabbit? Moreover, the second master never gave her half a cent for the gold and silver thread...
But I can't say this, because it would be disrespectful to say it.
Qi Mojing sneered, "It should be more sophisticated than Dr. Rabbit. You need to remember who is your master."
If he didn't become a rabbit, Qi Mojing wouldn't be able to figure out anything just based on his ingenuity.
But I have seen the rabbit in Qi Tianyi's hand during the day. When they compare the two, any fool will know which rabbit is more delicate.
Shi Jin wanted to bite off her tongue. She couldn't do anything bad but wanted to be a rabbit!
Just as he was about to apologize, he saw Qi Mojing ordering the ginger tea sea bowl aside, "I don't like drinking this, so just drink it for me."
Shi Jin couldn't help but widen his dark eyes.
She wanted to refuse, but she saw the cold eyes of the second master glance over again, and his eyebrows raised, a sign of anger.
Shi Jin couldn't help but throw himself on the small table, "Shi Jin loves to drink, thank you Second Master for the reward."
After saying that, he actually picked up the bowl of sea and took a long sip.
The ginger tea was still hot. Shi Jin took a sip and held back tears in his eyes. He felt a stream of hot air rushing straight to his abdomen, and even the soles of his feet became warm.
She knelt there and was about to blow some ginger tea when the bottom of the bowl was held by Qi Mojing's slender fingers and brought to her lips involuntarily.
Shi Jin couldn't move forward or retreat, so she had to raise her head and sip. First she drank a bowl of ginger soup in the kitchen, and then drank more for dinner. Now she had a lot of ginger tea in her stomach, and Shi Jin only felt that the tea was
It almost wanted to hit her throat.
Perhaps the ginger tea was too hot, sweat appeared on the tip of Shi Jin's nose, and his lips were turned red by the heat, which was in sharp contrast with the thin porcelain white sea bowl.
Qi Mojing's eyes darkened, and with a exertion of his hand, the sea bowl next to Shi Jin tilted sharply.
Shi Jin couldn't drink enough, and some of the light yellow ginger tea flowed down the corner of her mouth, and then got onto Shi Jin's clothes that were close to her chest.
Shi Jin hugged his belly, tears welling up in his eyes and ready to fall, "...Master, this slave really can't drink any more, hiccup~"
She hiccupped, her expression froze, and she knelt on the spot as if she were petrified.
Qi Mojing raised the corner of her mouth, obviously in a good mood, "Let's set the food."
Shi Jin bent down to pick up the food box placed on the carpet. When he bent down slightly, he felt the smell of ginger tea rush into his throat.
She didn't dare to make any big move, she just gently opened the food box, put a pot of hot wine, four vegetables, one soup and one rice on the small table.
Focusing on a fish at the bottom, Shi Jin's eyes froze for a moment, and then he saw that the second master was in a happy mood and said, "Faulty."
Shi Jin had no choice but to pick on the second master with a mouthful of ginger again.
A meal can make a day seem like a year.
Shi Jin finally waited on his ancestors to finish the meal, and then put the leftovers and the sea bowl with ginger tea into the food box.
Outside, Zhi Hua was guarding the corridor. When she heard Shi Jin coming out, she couldn't help but open the food box and take a peek. Her eyes were full of joy, "Did the second master drink all the ginger tea? I'm afraid that the second master doesn't like the taste of ginger."
He was willing to drink it, and Tete picked up a big bowl to serve it for him."
Shi Jin drooped the corners of his mouth, pinched Zhihua hard, and said expressionlessly, "Second Master poured all the ginger tea into my stomach, hiccup~"
…
In order to atone for his sins, Zhihua is responsible for keeping vigil tonight.
Shi Jin only closed the ear room, letting him hear the wind and rain and the second master's voice, but did not open the door.
She tossed and turned all night and had to go to the toilet several times before digesting a bowl of ginger tea.
The next day it was still rainy and stormy, and it was rare for the second master not to go out. He stayed in the study all day without coming out.
At the end of the day, the storm subsided a little. Shi Jin, who had been hiding from the second master all day, was given a pot of tea by Si Qi and asked to be taken to the study.
Although Shi Jin didn't want to, he couldn't defeat Si Qi in the end, so he had to move towards the study.
Zhihua's face was full of worry, "Won't the second master punish her again?"
Siqi glanced at Zhihua and said, "What's the matter? Do you want to go?"
Zhihua quickly shook his head like a rattle, "I also think it would be appropriate for Shi Jin to go there."
Shi Jin didn't know that the two men were talking, so he tiptoed to the edge of the study room. Seeing that the second master was absorbed in reading a book, he quietly put the tea in the corner of the desk and wanted to leave silently.
It might as well be that the second master stopped her and said, "Come here and help me beat my legs."
Shi Jin groaned in his heart, but kept walking. He came close to the second master, knelt on his legs, and looked at the thin blanket placed on the second master's legs.
But as soon as the second master stretched out his legs, a pair of long legs covered with a thin blanket was placed in front of Shi Jin.
Shi Jin studied medicine with his father, so he knew some massage techniques, so he used his hands through the blanket to smooth out the meridians in Erye's legs.
However, he couldn't exert much strength across the blanket, and the muscles in Er Ye's legs were tight. Shi Jin already had sweat on his forehead after being massaged.
But the second master got the idea and asked her to use more strength. After Shi Jin's tossing, the second master was calm and relaxed, but her hands were so tired that they were shaking like chaff.
When her hands moved up, Shi Jin's fingers pressed against the sea of blood in the Jimen area. Before she could exert any force, the second master's falcon-like palm grabbed her wrist.
He closed his eyes and said, "Go down now."
Shi Jin didn't understand what he meant, but he still nodded calmly and left the study with a pair of sore hands on his back.
On the other side, the third Miss Qi Shu, Qi Shu, was having a quarrel with the eldest lady Yao.
She has always been quite talented in Haojing. Although the Marquis of Jing'an has declined in recent years, she is the eldest granddaughter and her arrogance has not diminished in her bones.
Although Kang Wenxiu had some talent and fame, his family status was low, and since he lost his biological mother, he was even more miserable.
"Since my mother thinks this is a good match, why not talk to my sister? Baba rushes to let her daughter marry her, but her daughter refuses to accept it!" Qi Shu looked sad and angry, with great grievance in her voice, "Don't look at your daughter and you don't know! That picture
He is not easy to get along with. He sent two beautiful concubines to Kang Wenxiu a long time ago. This kind of filth is something that my mother has to endure, but my daughter cannot!"
Mrs. Yao was so angry that she trembled, "Shut up! This is not what a little girl like you can say!"
Since ancient times, parents have ordered matchmakers to say that she will find a good match for their daughter, but if the daughter is the one who dictates, it is a big joke!
While the two were in a stalemate, Qi Tianyi came to his mother's side along the corridor.
Brother Ying opened the curtain cage with a pale face and let the second young master in.
As soon as Qi Tianyi entered the room, he saw both mother and daughter wiping tears with their backs on their backs. He couldn't help but wonder, "What's going on? Both of them are pouting."
Yao finally found someone to complain to, and couldn't help but glare at Qi Tianyi, "I'm not even your sister, but she doesn't like this marriage. Baba asked my mother to break off the engagement in a hurry. Tell me, how can any daughter treat her like this?
We talk about marriage every day!"
"I wonder what's going on!" Qi Tianyi muttered, "Brother Ying, you and Yanzhi are going to make some jelly cheese. Third Miss likes it, so go quickly!"
Brother Ying agreed and then left the house with Yanzhi. He found Xia'er and Dong'er on the porch and went to the small kitchen together, closing the door before leaving.
Qi Shu knew her brother had something to say, so she couldn't help but prick up her ears.
Qi Tianyi lifted the corners of his robe, found a rose chair and sat down, then turned to Qi Shu solemnly, "Shu'er, let me ask you, do you really dislike Kang Wenxiu?"
Hearing her brother's question, Qi Shu's face turned red slightly, but she still said firmly, "I really don't like it."
"Okay, I understand, I'm with you, go ahead." With these words, Qi Tianyi took matters into his own hands.
Hearing the meaning of her brother's words, Qi Shu's eyes widened, obviously she couldn't believe that her second brother actually supported her in this way.
She couldn't help but praise her second brother, and left happily.
Yao was so angry that his fingers trembled. He pointed at Qi Shu who walked through the door, and at the same time pointed at Qi Tianyi's face that looked like an old god.
"You! You two are really pissing me off!" Yao swung his sleeves for the last time, looking defeated.
Qi Tianyi was playing with the Dr. Rabbit pendant on his waist, lowering his eyebrows and saying to his mother, "My sister was in front of me just now, and my son had nothing to say. Mother, can you listen to your son?"
When Yao heard Qi Tianyi correct his attitude, he couldn't help but straighten himself, "But what's important?"
"Have you heard, mother, that Mr. Zhang has a son who behaves unscrupulously?" Qi Tianyi asked without answering.
