Zhi Hua turned over a calendar page, and it was the seventh day of July, the day for begging for luck.

For men, this day is an ordinary day. But for every family, the girl and the daughter-in-law, praying for a pair of skillful hands on July 7th, is their biggest wish.

Shi Jin and Zhi Hua caught the spider in a paper box early and put it in the corner, hoping that tomorrow the spider would build a beautiful web.

The two of them were playing around among themselves when Shi Mo, the young man beside the second master, turned back.

Because of the festival, Si Qi has a day off today. It is rare that there is no one in Qingfeng Court to supervise her, so the little maids are all more relaxed and at ease.

Shi Jin saw Shi Mo and asked him with a smile, "But the second master forgot to take something?"

Shi Moxu nodded at Shi Jin, then looked at the weaving paintings and shook his head, then turned to Shi Jin again, "The second master was about to leave the house, but the old lady stopped him, and insisted that a cousin came to the house, so let me

The second master will accompany me. How can the second master understand this? When I go out, I must not completely offend my cousin. So I will let any of you go along and take care of her."

Zhi Hua was pleased to hear this, but then Shi Mo said again, "Zhi Hua is reckless, Shi Jin should just follow him."

Zhihua pouted, waved his hand and entered the attic.

Shi Jin didn't care to comfort Zhi Hua, so he quickly changed his clothes before leaving the house, and then followed Shi Mo out of the house.

This was the first time she walked through the main entrance of the Hou Mansion. Normally, the servants and maids would leave a corner door for entry and exit, but this main entrance was reserved for the masters.

Shi Jin stepped over the high threshold, walked past the boy guarding the door, stepped down the greasy bluestone steps, and saw an open carriage with the logo of Jing'an Marquis Mansion parked at the main entrance.

Shi Jin got on the carriage under the instructions of Shi Mo, and saw that his second master was sitting there with his eyes closed, and not far to his left, sat a cousin dressed in goose yellow with an oval face.

A little maid with a childish smile.

Hearing the car curtains rustling, Qi Mojing glanced at her briefly and asked the driver to drive the car.

Shi Jin saw his cousin and the second master, and then carefully sat down by the door, opposite the little maid.

The cousin is quite charming and plump in figure. Her bright yellow dress makes her chest look even more majestic, and her waist is as slender as a willow tree.

Just by looking at the appearance of this young lady, Shi Jin could tell that the old lady had good intentions.

If it were her, her brother would suddenly fall ill when he saw that he was twenty-five years old and had not yet started a family.

However, looking at what my second master meant, could it be that he just didn't like it?

Can't stop?

Shi Jin secretly looked at the cousin a few more times. She had a pretty face and a good figure. How come she didn't even look at her in the eyes of the second master?

Thinking of this, Shi Jin's eyes subconsciously glanced under the second master, could it be...

Before she could think about it carefully, Qi Mojing glanced at her coldly.

Shi Jin hurriedly sat upright, not daring to be disrespectful at all.

There was an awkward silence in the carriage.

The cousin bit her lower lip lightly, looking pitiful and aggrieved, "Cousin, what do you think of Qian'er?"

Qi Mojing raised her eyelids and said, "The old lady didn't make it clear to you? According to your seniority, you should call me cousin."

Qin Qian'er choked.

Thinking of the task assigned by the old lady, as long as she can make the second master like her, the Hou family will recognize her as a cousin. Qin Qian'er became more courageous, "Well, cousin, Qian'er wants to go to the rouge and gouache shop.

Turn, can my cousin accompany Qian'er?"

Shi Jin lowered his eyebrows to please his eyes, but raised his ears high.

I originally thought that the second master would refuse, but unexpectedly he hummed from his throat and agreed.

Qin Qian'er immediately looked at Mr. Qi with affectionate eyes.

Qi Mojing's face turned dark, but she didn't have an attack after all.

Today is the Qiqiao Festival, and the streets are crowded with people. There are silk and satin sellers everywhere, and there are even more young ladies taking to the streets.

The rouge and gouache shop is a place where girls gather together.

As soon as Qi Mojing got out of the car, the girls and wives around her looked at her secretly.

The one who started Meng Lang even threw his handkerchief, and when the wind blew, he threw it towards Qi Mojing's arms as if he was aiming in the right direction.

Shi Jin was very observant these days. When he saw that his master was not happy, he took Shi Mo directly to the left and the right to protect Qi Mojing into the store.

The waiter, who knew how to look at them, had already noticed that they were not ordinary people, and hurriedly took Qi Mojing aside to drink tea, while Qin Qian'er was very interested in picking out her rouge.

Shi Jin also took advantage of his free time to secretly take a look at Zuozhi.

Qi Mojing saw her eyes lingering on a tube of new style lipstick, and the little finger of her left hand subconsciously moved on her knee.

He thought again of the red lipstick she put in her mouth.

Qin Qian'er took some lip balm and walked to Qi Mojing with great joy, "This color means... uncle, what do you think?"

It was quite difficult for the word "cousin" to come out of her tongue.

"Very good." Qi Mojing glanced at the shopkeeper, "Wrap up all these lipsticks."

Qin Qian'er was flattered and looked at Qi Mojing with burning eyes.

However, Qi Mojing had already stood up, turned around and left the shop.

Shi Mo hurriedly paid the money, and Shi Jin and his cousin's maid each held a pile of rouge and lipstick, and followed the master swaying behind.

With Qi Mojing's approval, the cousin became more and more bold. Although she was beautiful, she came from a small family and was not very knowledgeable. When she saw someone paying money, she had to go to one store after another.

In the end, Shi Mo couldn't stand it anymore, and secretly whispered to Shi Jin, "The old lady has poor eyesight, but she looks good, but her eyelids are too shallow."

Shi Jin couldn't say anything, he just lowered his eyebrows and followed behind with his things.

From Qi Mojing's perspective, a pile of box brocades taller than Shi Jin covered her entire face.

When the cousin came out of another preserved fruit shop, Shi Jin's hands were stacked higher.

She was swaying, and she was a little unsteady on her feet, let alone keeping up with the master in front of her.

While she was struggling, a passerby passed by her and knocked the box in her arms a little crookedly.

Shi Jin was so panicked that she wanted to hold the box steady, but she didn't expect that the more steady she became, the more her hands would tremble. By accident, the boxes piled in front of her fell apart and scattered all over the floor.

Shi Jin blushed and lowered her head to pick up the box. The snacks fell out, so she quickly gathered them up and tried to put them back into the box.

Seeing Shi Jin's flustered look, Qin Qian'er couldn't help but frown, with some disgust in her mouth, "How are you going to eat the snacks if you pretend to go back like this?"

Shi Jin's face turned redder now, and the tips of his ears started to steam.

Shi Mo also felt bad and was about to put away his things and help Shi Jin when he saw a scholar in green shirt squatting down to help Shi Jin pick up things.

Shi Jin might as well reach over with a pair of hands with slightly white joints and help her pick up the rouge box that fell on the ground.

She buried her head and said "thank you", and then the man asked her, "Were you bullied like this in the Hou Mansion?"
