Chapter 2 Dinner
Shi Jin was startled, stood up and stood respectfully by the door.
The next moment, a maid in a tender green shirt burst into the house in a hurry.
She first picked up a bowl from the Eight Immortals table on the left, and then poured a bowl of sour plum soup. Her movements were a bit rough, she raised her hand and raised her neck, and drank the sour plum soup.
"This damn weather, I'm really thirsty to death!" The maid took a bowl of sour plum soup into her stomach, and immediately felt energized. She then turned her head leisurely and gave Shi Jin a scrutinizing look.
"Who is this?" She looked at Shi Jin, feeling unfamiliar for a moment.
"Aunt Yu said that she was ordered by the old lady to fill in the gaps in poetry and piano listening," Si Qi said.
There are four first-class maidservants in the second master's courtyard, including chess player, Shiyan player, Qinqin player, and Zhihua who just came in.
Among them, Shiyan and Tingqin are the sons specially assigned by the old lady. Not only are they very handsome, but they are also good at calligraphy and painting. Unexpectedly, the second master has not even a trace of charming thoughts, but instead treats these two beauties.
The embryos were driven out of the house.
It was also a coincidence that Shi Jin entered the mansion yesterday and was assigned to the second master today.
"That's strange, which courtyard did you come from before? How come I haven't seen you before?" The pretty maid who spoke and behaved recklessly couldn't help but stare at Shi Jin and asked.
Zhi Hua always had a good memory, but after much searching, he still had no impression of the beautiful and eye-catching Shi Jin.
The facial features of the person in front of me are gentle and quiet. Although they are not eye-catching, they are like the silent spring rain that moistens everything.
Hearing Zhihua's inquiry, Shi Jin's two white hands subconsciously clasped together and hung in front of her. Her whole person looked docile and harmless. She smiled lightly and said, "I just entered the house yesterday. Today
It counts as the first day on duty.”
Although Si Qi had already made a guess, he still couldn't help but clicked his tongue when he heard what Shi Jin said.
What kind of good luck does this have to be able to be promoted to a first-class maid as soon as you enter the house?
Thinking back to what Aunt Yu said, it was clear that the old lady had personally directed this matter, and Si Qi began to have some concerns in his mind.
She suppressed what she was thinking and turned to ask Zhihua, who was pestering Shi Jin, "What nonsense did you say when you came back just now? Who has offended you again?"
When Zhi Hua mentioned this, he became angry. He raised his beautiful eyebrows and his almond-shaped eyes stood upright, giving off a bit of the power of a angry King Kong. "Aren't you just a few cheap guys in Master Heng's yard, hiding under the flower stand and lazing around?"
It's just a slip and fall, it's not like you made up for the second master for no reason! The most hateful thing is the short winter melon like the moon, who actually said that the second master drove Shiyan and Tingqin away because the second master can't be humane! He also said that the second master has a pure and pure look.
The dust-free appearance is just a silver-like pewter gun tip, it looks frivolous but useless, you are angry~"
Zhi Hua always had a hot temper, and when she finished her original words, she felt so angry that she just pulled up two wide sleeves of her cigarette sleeves and whistled to fan her face.
Si Qi spat at her, with a look of anger on his face, "What nonsense are you talking about! You should also learn the nonsense from people outside! Master Heng is very cautious about her right now, so don't argue with her."
What a difference!"
There was one sentence she had yet to say. Young Master Yiheng's sleepless temper was just a momentary rampage.
Zhihua obviously followed Siqi's lead. When she saw Siqi being angry, she shrank her neck in fright, and hurriedly grabbed Siqi's sleeve pitifully. She was completely different from the angry King Kong just now, "Good sister, I'm just angry.
But! Please don’t tell me about this matter, otherwise I will be embarrassed again~"
Seeing Zhihua's well-behaved and docile appearance, Si Qi couldn't help but sigh and tapped Zhihua's forehead, "Misfortune comes from the mouth! Zhihua, you are also a person who has suffered losses, so don't let the second master worry anymore.
"
Zhihua seemed to have remembered something, and for a moment he nodded as obediently as a quail.
While several people were talking, a little maid in charge of sweeping ran over and looked inside the door frame.
Seeing that Si Qi and Zhi Hua were both there, she smiled and sent a message inside, "Sister Si Qi, Shi Mo will come back later to send a message, saying that the second master is drinking in Xiangju Building today, and he may be late in the evening."
"Understood," Si Qi nodded and asked the little maid to tell the kitchen to prepare sobering soup and filling food for the second master on time. Then he put away the silk thread, the knotted string and the fan pendant, "Since the second master
Since I'm not here, let's feel more at ease. I also happen to have a few things to tell the newcomers."
At present, the second master has not returned and has not given Shi Jin a name, so Si Qi calls her Shi Jin.
Siqi is an old man who has always been with the second master. He is in charge of the keys to the warehouse and the kitchen in the second master's yard.
She has been able to gain the second master's trust over the years simply because she abides by her duty. She is now twenty and four years old, and she is only one year away from being released from the mansion.
According to the old lady's wishes, if it is useful, the second master can be included in the room.
But the second master didn't have that intention, so Si Qi also went through a rough journey and became a veritable old girl.
Perhaps out of consideration for the relationship between master and servant, the sooner Siqi left, the more diligent and cautious he became, especially wanting to train a few capable people for the second master.
Unfortunately, she hasn't found anyone to take over, and Shiyan and Tingqin have also been kicked out of the house by the second master. If she leaves again, she may only be left with a stunned Zhihua in front of her.
Therefore, when she saw Shi Jin's arrival, she felt a little concerned about it.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sun was setting and the light was not very strong, Si Qi personally took Shi Jin to the warehouse to get clothes and bedding for all seasons. He also helped her choose a set of daily utensils, and then placed her in a wing room in the corner of the yard.
.
During this period, Si Qi also told some of his master's hobbies and precautions, and Shi Jin remembered them one by one and pondered them carefully.
However, what Shi Jin looked forward to most was not Siqi's nagging, but the feeling of hunger in his stomach.
Because of the handover yesterday, Shi Jin went home with the money from selling her body. After settling her brother in place, she hurried to the Hou Mansion today.
Unexpectedly, due to a combination of circumstances and many chores, she drank a bowl of sour plum soup all day long.
The sour plum soup was appetizing, and she only felt hungrier.
He listened to Siqi's words with a low eyebrow, but Shi Jin's mind was full of names of dishes.
There is no way, the world is vast, and the Five Zang Temple is the largest!
Step by step, it was getting late, and the aroma of rice soup and vegetables came from the small kitchen, and there was a faint smile in the corner of Shi Jin's eyes.
It’s not easy to finally eat!
Si Qi probably said he was tired, so he let Shi Jin go to eat.
Since she was about to leave the house, Siqi's family arranged for her to get married. Therefore, after finishing the chores in the second master's yard every night, she would rush home to spend the night and make some wedding clothes and shoes.
.
This can be regarded as the grace given by the lady for her years of hard work.
"When the second master comes back, remember to go to the kitchen and bring him the sobering soup. I sleep lightly at night, so you and Zhihua have discussed taking turns to keep vigil, and don't forget it." Before Siqi left, he did not forget to look back and tell him carefully.
.
Shi Jin didn't show anything on her face, and nodded casually towards Siqi. There was a faint expectation in her eyes, and she turned to look at the little maid in front of her who was receiving the meal, which seemed to be a bowl of white porridge, a plate of stir-fried cabbage, and...
There is a steamed bun!
The first-class maid was somewhat respectable. Perhaps she knew that Shi Jin was the newly assigned maid, so Aunt Zhao, who was in charge of cooking, served her a portion first, and added another portion of pickles mixed with sesame oil and sesame oil.
.
She nodded and thanked Aunt Zhao, and then walked back to the penthouse with brisk steps.
Putting the food on the bedside table, Shi Jin took a pair of chopsticks and picked up a handful of cabbage. Just as he was about to put it into his mouth, he heard a boy outside shout loudly, "Second Master is back."
, bring the hangover soup quickly!"
For a moment, there was a commotion in the outer compartment, and there were people shouting and saying hello.
Shi Jin only hesitated for a moment, then stuffed the chopsticks of cabbage into her mouth and swallowed it indiscriminately. Not caring about drinking the hot porridge, she hurriedly got out of the ear room and came to Zhihua's side.
Chapter completed!
