Chapter Sixteen

compare

Qin Jun hesitated to go into the water, hugged her arms tightly, and froze in front of the bathtub.

Seeing four or five people pouring water, throwing flowers, holding snacks and tea cups and rubbing their bodies, Qin Jun immediately told them to go out with a numb scalp.

Ji Si waved her hand, "Go down and call again if you have something to do."

Qin Jun: "...you go down too."

Ji Si said indifferently: "Miss must not be alone."

Qin Jun: "..."

Ji Si had already walked in front of Qin Jun and stripped off her clothes, "Don't be afraid, I don't do anything."

who is afraid...

Qin Jun comforted herself, and with a blushing face, Ji Si took off her clothes until she was completely clean. She submerged in the water, and the floating petals covered her collarbone, and Ji Si did not even roll her eyes.

She didn't mess around, she washed her hair properly and massaged her scalp, and Qin Jun scrubbed the rest by herself, and soon fell asleep in the hot tub.

"Don't sleep." Ji Si whispered, her tone was very gentle, her knuckles slipped past Qin Jun's ears, and her warm palms covered Qin Jun's eyes.

"I'm sleepy, hurry up." Qin Jun said.

Ji Si hummed, twisted Qin Jun's wet hair half dry with a handkerchief, and then held up a wide cloth for wiping her body.

Seeing this, Qin Jun covered her chest and got up from the bathtub. Fortunately, it was already night and with the candles lit, Ji Si should not be able to see that she was blushing.

Qin Jun stepped back and forth on the small stool by the tub, with a few petals stuck to her body, her skin glowing under the candlelight.Ji Si seemed to have paused, and immediately opened a wide white cloth to cover Qin Jun, wrapped her in her arms, and hugged her off the bench.

Qin Jun's face was red from the hot water. She had been soaked for too long, and her thinking was a little sluggish. She just felt comfortable leaning on Ji Si.Then she was taken aback suddenly, feeling her waist tighten, and Ji Si's hand moved behind her back through the cloth.

Ji Si: "Wipe yourself."

Qin Jun woke up immediately, and hurriedly said, "I'll do it myself!"

There is no sense when undressing, but it becomes hypocritical when dressing. The ancient underwear is not close-fitting, loose and square, with a bellyband, and then put on a clear dress, with a thick pajamas outside.

Ji Si lowered her head, and when she was dressing Qin Jun, Qin Jun seemed to be able to feel her breath everywhere.

"Are you ready?" Qin Jun asked.

Ji Si hooked up the belt of the jacket, "Okay."

Ji Si: "I didn't bring the wooden clogs, so I hugged Miss over there."

Qin Jun had no choice but to put his arms around Ji Si's neck and let her hug him.

"Is it okay?" Qin Jun was worried that Ji Si was not strong enough.

Ji Si held her hips, gently picked her up, put her on the bed, looked at Qin Jun with a smile in her eyes, "Miss is not heavy."

Qin Jun: "..."

Died young, Qin Jun bit her lip, feeling that Ji Si was not gentle tonight, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Qin Jun sat by the bed, and Ji Si went to move the brazier to dry her hair. The warm orange light from the brazier shone on Ji Si's face.Qin Jun was fascinated.

"I saved you." Qin Jun murmured suddenly.

Ji Si raised her eyes and looked at Qin Jun casually, "The slave's life belongs to the young lady. If the young lady is not at ease, give the slave a glass of poisoned wine."

Qin Jun frowned: "I didn't mean that..."

Ji Si nodded, "The grace of saving my life can never be repaid, and I am willing to promise it with my body."

Qin Jun choked, "How do you say this!"

Ji Si twitched the corner of her mouth: "The playbooks are all written in this way, the little girl is willing to serve the Lord with her body and wholeheartedly."

"I didn't ask you to do...uh, that kind of thing with me when I redeemed you," Qin Jun said, "I just want to give you a hand because I feel sorry for you, you know?"

Qin Jun: "But do good deeds, don't ask about the future, you just..."

Qin Jun couldn't continue speaking halfway through. She wanted to tell Ji Si to save her by herself, and didn't want her to do anything else, but she talked about saving her life several times.Why don't you ask about the future... Isn't it contradictory?

If he is really so magnanimous, then he should give her Ji Si's slave bond, let her go far away, and return to Jianguo to be reunited with her family.

Ji Si smiled, her hair had dried, she looked at Qin Jun's blushing face, and said, "I am willing to serve Miss."

Qin Jun sighed and asked, "Are you homesick?"

Ji Si covered the quilt for Qin Jun, "I'm homeless."

Qin Jun pursed her lips and thought, if you let you go back to Xi Jiang, you won’t be able to enjoy Tianlun anymore. Ji Wuming died on the battlefield, and Queen Jiang has also passed away. Although your younger brother loves you, he has long been controlled by powerful officials and became aThe puppet king who was emptied.When you go back, you have to fight for Nalan in exchange for freedom, otherwise you will be arranged to marry.

Ji Si came back with a book and sat on Qin Jun's bedside, "Go to bed, I'll read the story to Miss."

Qin Jun found that Ji Si would not call herself a slave under normal circumstances, and only said a few words when she was being obedient or showing her loyalty.

Ji Si was copying the book and was about to start reading when a shadow appeared on the window.

Jin Xiu: "Miss."

Ji Si said: "Miss is asleep, why don't you come back tomorrow."

Qin Jun: "..."

Jin Xiu stood outside the window for a while, then she really left.

Qin Jun: "..."

Ji Si flipped a page casually.

Qin Jun: "Why don't you start reading from the beginning?"

Ji Si said, "I saw the back."

Qin Jun choked, thinking that you, a servant, are so courageous, and said, "Then read it."

Ji Si smiled: "Just look at this maid wearing light gauze underpants. It's all white, with two spots of red plums, against the slightly raised belly..."

"Stop, stop!" Qin Jun raised her face, "What are you reading!"

Ji Si folded the book together, revealing the cover of the book—the young lady in the boudoir and the pretty maid.

Qin Jun: "..."

Ji Si tilted her head, "Miss?"

Qin Jun pursed her lips: "You usually watch this?"

Ji Si smiled, "Miss doesn't like this? Then change to this travel diary."

Qin Jun: "..."

Ji Si drew another book from behind.

Qin Jun hurriedly said, "Let me see the name!"

Ji Si handed the book to Qin Jun, and Qin Jun took a look at it, and immediately felt that it was hot and wanted to throw it away!

"Sanniang Mo sleepwalked in the Wonderland of Six Lakes, and the romantic anecdote of her relationship with the Seven Fairies." Ji Si recited the title of the book.

Qin Jun: "..."

"Go to sleep." Qin Jun lost her temper, rolled up the brocade quilt, turned her back to Ji Si and closed her eyes, "Call Jin Xiu to watch the night."

Ji Si curled her lips together: "Here."

Ji Si extinguished the candle, stood up and exited, and closed the door. Not long after, the sound of her talking with Jin Xiu came from outside the door.

Jin Xiu: "I'll keep watch."

Ji Si: "Farewell."

The courtyard gradually quieted down.

"Miss." Jin Xiu entered the door and relit the candle.

Qin Jun hugged the quilt and sat up, "How is things going?"

Ji Si returned to the side courtyard of the East Wing. Only she and Li Yao lived in this courtyard, and the Uncle King had been waiting for him for a long time.

"How's the investigation going?" Ji Si asked.

Uncle King then said: "Last time I lost the steward, and I have never seen him again. The matter that the girl ordered to find the girl surnamed Li in Capital is also... because of the large population and the fact that the girls are all kept in deep boudoirs, it is difficult to thoroughly investigate.come out clearly."

Ji Si's eyes sank, "It's been five days."

Uncle King knelt down on one knee: "Please punish me, girl."

Ji Si thought for a while and asked, "Is there any banquet recently, and only women go there."

Uncle King thought for a while, "The wintersweet blooms are flourishing in the suburbs these days, some ladies and wives should organize a plum feast."

Ji Si hummed, "Go and see, where and who will preside over it."

The Uncle King bowed and stepped back, "Here."

Qin Jun spread out the painting and asked in surprise, "Why is there only so little left?"

Jin Xiu then told Qin Jun about the fight between herself and Zhang San and Li Si, saying that she only got this part of the painting.

Qin Jun touched the edge of the burnt yellow-brown painting, there was only a small half of the painting left, only half of the face and one eye could be seen, only the small half of the face of the person in this painting, and that eye happened to be RuifengEye.

Jin Xiu: "Slaves are incompetent, princess."

Qin Jun booed quickly, "It's okay, that's all."

Jin Xiu exited the wing room and closed her eyes on Qin Jun's small couch behind the screen to keep vigil for her.

Qin Jun quietly opened the painting again, looking at the dancing candlelight, she felt the urge to burn the painting.She moved the painting to the flames, and moved it away before the flames licked the paper.

It's just half a face, what can it prove, Qin Jun put away the painting, rolled it up and stuffed it under the wooden pillow.He rolled the brocade quilt to one side and didn't sleep on the wooden pillow.

The next day, Ji Si came to take care of Qin Jun's daily life, but Qin Jun hadn't woken up yet, so Jin Xiu stopped her with a loud voice.

"Come here and challenge me." Jin Xiu said, breaking off a piece of bamboo and making gestures in the court.

Seeing this, Ji Si smiled, "I don't know how to fight."

Jin Xiu frowned: "Who is pretending to be?"

Ji Si's smile eased, she stood on the porch, wearing a skirt, her eyes were cold, and half of her lips were covered with a silk handkerchief: "I don't understand Miss Jin Xiu's words."

Jin Xiu was practicing martial arts in the court, and Ji Si took a broom to sweep up the falling snow on the porch. When the work was done, the servants came to ask when the meal would be delivered.

Ji Si: "There's no need for breakfast, and less for lunch."

"Here."

Jin Xiu glanced at Ji Si, "Your servant is doing a good job."

Ji Si didn't answer, she squatted down towards Jinxiu, and when she heard someone calling in the room, Jin Xiu stepped in first.

"Miss Jin Xiu, go wash up," Ji Si covered her nose, "Don't worry about my sister."

Jin Xiu immediately pulled up her clothes and smelled them, then turned around and withdrew.

Qin Jun's hair was messed up from sleep, she looked at Ji Si in a daze, and asked, "Did you quarrel?"

Ji Si shook her head, "No, is Miss getting up?"

"Get up." Qin Jun held out his hand to Ji Si.

Ji Si grabbed her under the armpit, dragged her up from the bed, and suddenly asked, "Miss, do you usually wake up like this?"

Qin Jun: "Huh?"

Qin Jun was taken aback for a moment, let go of Ji Si, and said, "I'm too sleepy, I'm sorry..."

"Slave doesn't mean that," Ji Si twitched the corners of her mouth, telling Qin Jun to stand up and dress her, "It's been cold these days, so wear a little jacket."

Qin Jun was almost confused, widening her eyes, "...Oh."

Jin Xiu changed her clothes and came in, "Come on me."

Qin Jun had already changed her clothes, and was sitting in front of the dressing table asking Ji Si to tie her hair.

Ji Si said lightly: "The brazier is out, go to light a fire."

Jin Xiu: "..."

Qin Jun: "..."

Silver charcoal was lit in the brazier, Qin Jun looked in the mirror, and found that Ji Si had tied her hair in a very special style with a red cloth strip, and tied a loose hair behind her head.The full bun, the rest of the hair hangs down on the back of the head, and she is decorated with hair accessories, and a forehead ornament is chosen for her, and it is placed on the forehead properly. The total amount is only three pieces of jewelry.

The burden on Qin Jun's head was instantly relieved, and she felt a lot lighter.

Ji Si oiled her hair again, and finally chose a pair of red emerald earrings for Qin Jun, which matched the forehead ornament, making her cheeks as snowy as snow, delicate and glowing.

Qin Jun was smug for a while, went to have lunch, and sat down at the table to eat and felt dazed, only to realize that she was being served by Ji Si comfortably.After only one or two rounds, Ji Si faintly showed signs of replacing Jin Xiu's position.

guilt, guilt...

After a few words of vigilance, Qin Jun ordered to go out, and Jin Xiu ordered someone to set up the car.

"Lady Pin is coming together." As soon as Qin Jun boarded the carriage and sat down, she saw Ji Si get into the carriage together with her one after the other. For some reason, Jin Xiu fell behind again, so he had to be the last one to get on the carriage and sit next to the groom.Drink the wind outside.

Qin Jun wanted to say something, but she just opened her mouth and then closed it embarrassingly. Ji Si is not in good health, so let's just leave it at that...

The carriage turned around and stopped at the gate of Capital's largest Shuwen Pavilion. Qin Jun got out of the carriage wearing a veiled hat.After entering the door, the waiter came to greet her, "Miss is here, what do you want to see?"

Jin Xiu said: "Open a private room, good four treasures of the study, send it to have a look."

Xiaoer, here, immediately took Qin Jun to the second floor, carried the good things into the inner room one by one, then exited the room, and let Qin Jun choose slowly.

Qin Jun tapped these things with her chin, indicating to Ji Si to choose for herself.

Ji Si was startled: "Buy it for me?"

Qin Jun hummed, "Choose some more books, some serious ones."

Jin Xiu pursed her lips and cast a disdainful glance at Ji Si, "Can you use a writing brush? Pick up a brush and try it out, and use whatever comes your way."

Ji Si narrowed her eyes slightly, spread out her pen and ink, and was about to try.

Jin Xiu walked over slowly, grinding the ink for her, pointing out a few words from time to time: "Turn your arms, don't move your wrists."

Qin Jun: "..."

Ji Si: "..."

"Miss Jin Xiu wants to try?" Ji Si asked.

Jin Xiu then said: "Miss's good handwriting is also taught by me, why, you are not convinced?"

Ji Si looked at Qin Jun and said, "Miss."

Qin Jun was looking at the things Xiaoer sent up, and walked over after hearing the words, "What's the matter?"

Ji Si said, "How about my word?"

Qin Jun glanced at it and thought it was normal, "It's pretty good."

Ji Si took a look at Jin Xiu and felt that she had regained 10%.

Jin Xiu: "..."

Qin Jun: "?"
