Maid Is Not Interested In Promotion Chapter 2

Shi Jin was startled, stood up and stood respectfully by the door.

The next moment, a maid in a light green shirt rushed into the room.

She first picked up a bowl from the eight-immortals table on her left, and poured herself a bowl of sour plum soup. Her movements were quite rough. She raised her hand, tilted her head back, and drank the sour plum soup up.

"I'm so thirsty in this horrible weather!" After the maid drank a bowl of sour plum soup, she felt refreshed all over. She had the leisure to turn around and give Shi Jin a scrutinizing look.

"Who is this?" She glanced at Shi Jin and felt that he looked unfamiliar.

"Madame Yu said that she was ordered by the old lady to fill in the vacancies of Shiyan and Tingqin." Chloe said.

There are a total of four first-class maids serving the Second Master personally in his courtyard, namely Chloe, Shiyan, Tingqin, and Mia who just came in.

Among them, Shiyan and Tingqin were the house-born children specially assigned by the old lady. They were not only handsome, but also good at calligraphy and painting. But the second master didn't even have the slightest idea of   being romantic, and instead drove these two beauties out of the house.

It was just a coincidence that Shi Jin entered the mansion yesterday and was assigned to the Second Master today.

"How strange! Which courtyard were you from before? Why have I never seen you before?" The rude maid stared at Shi Jin and asked.

Mia has always had a good memory, but after racking her brains, she still has no impression of the beautiful and eye-catching Shi Jin.

The person in front of me has eyes and eyebrows that are gentle and peaceful. Although not eye-catching, they are like the spring rain that moistens everything silently. They are pleasing to the eyes at first glance and stunning again.

Hearing Mia's question, Shi Jin subconsciously clasped her two fair hands together and hung them in front of her, looking gentle and harmless. She smiled lightly, "I just entered the mansion yesterday, and today is my first day on duty."

Although Chloe had already guessed it, she couldn't help but be surprised when she heard Shi Jin say this.

How lucky must one be to be promoted to a first-class maid as soon as one enters the mansion?

Thinking about what Nanny Yu said, it was clear that the old lady had personally instructed someone to do this, so Chloe began to have some thoughts in her mind.

She suppressed her thoughts and turned to ask Mia who was pestering Shijin, "What nonsense did you say when you came back just now? Who irritated you again?"

When this matter was mentioned, Mia became angry. Her pair of beautiful eyebrows immediately raised, her almond-shaped eyes stood upside down, and she looked like a wrathful King Kong. "It's just a few R@sc@ls in Master Heng's yard. They were lazy and slipped under the flower stand, but they made up a story about the Second Master for no reason! The most hateful one is that shorty Ruyue. She actually said that the Second Master drove Shiyan and Tingqin away because he was inhumane! She also said that the Second Master looked pure and innocent, but he was just a silver-plated spear head, good-looking but useless. Are you angry~"

Mia has always had a hot temper. She said what she meant. She was still very angry, so she just pulled her two wide sleeves and whistled to fan her face.

Si Qi spat at her, her face showing some anger, "What nonsense are you talking about! You are also learning the nonsense that people outside say! Young Master Heng is very fond of her right now, you must not argue with her!"

She hadn't said another word yet. Considering Young Master Heng's habit of sleeping three or four nights a night, Ruyue was just being crazy for a while.

Mia obviously followed Chloe's lead. Seeing Chloe angry, she shrank her neck in fear and quickly grabbed Chloe's sleeve pitifully. She was completely different from the angry King Kong just now. "Good sister, I'm just angry! Please don't tell this to the Second Master, otherwise I will be punished again~"

Seeing Mia's obedient and docile appearance, Chloe couldn't help but sigh and tapped Mia's forehead, "Trouble comes from the mouth! Mia, you have also suffered losses, so don't let the Second Master worry about it again."

Mia seemed to remember something, and for a moment she nodded as obediently as a quail.

While they were talking, a little maid who was in charge of sweeping the floor came running over and peered inside by leaning against the door frame.

Seeing that Chloe and Mia were both there, she smiled and passed on the message, "Sister Chloe, Noah Shi will come back later and tell me that the Second Master is drinking in Xiangju Tower today, and he may be back late tonight."

"Got it," Chloe nodded, and told the maid to ask the kitchen to prepare hangover soup and food for the Second Master on time, and then put away the silk thread, the knotted cords, and the fan pendants, "Since the Second Master is not here, we can be more relaxed. I also have a few things to tell the newcomer."

Now the Second Master has not returned yet, and has not given Shi Jin a name, so Si Qi calls her Shi Jin.

Chloe is an old lady who has always been by the Second Master's side, and is in charge of the keys to the warehouse and kitchen in the Second Master's yard.

She had been able to gain the Second Master's trust over the years simply because she had fulfilled her duties. Now she was twenty-four, and there was only one year left before she was released from the mansion.

If it is according to the old lady's wishes, and if it is useful, the second master can take her into the room.

But the Second Master didn't mean that, so Chloe just wasted her time and became an old maid in all reality.

Perhaps out of consideration for the relationship between master and servant, the closer Chloe was to leaving, the more diligent and cautious she became, wanting especially to train a few capable people for the Second Master.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. She had not found a successor yet, and Shiyan and Tingqin were also expelled from the mansion by the Second Master. When she left, Mia would be the only one left in front of her.

Therefore, when she saw Shi Jin coming, she felt a little bit concerned about him.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sun was setting and the light was not very strong, Chloe personally took Shi Jin to the storehouse to get clothes and bedding for all four seasons, and helped her pick out a set of daily necessities. Only then did she place her in the ear room in the corner of the yard.

During this time, Chloe also explained some of the master's hobbies and precautions, and Shi Jin memorized them one by one and pondered them carefully.

However, what Shi Jin was most looking forward to was not Si Qi's chattering, but the feeling of hunger in his stomach.

Because of the handover that took place yesterday, Shi Jin went home with the money she earned from selling her body. After settling her brother down, she hurried to the Marquis' Mansion today to report for duty.

Unexpectedly, due to a variety of coincidences and many other things to do, she only drank one bowl of sour plum soup that day.

The sour plum soup was appetizing, and she only felt hungrier.

While listening to Chloe's muttering with lowered head, Shi Jin had the names of the dishes in his mind.

There is no way, the sky is big, the earth is big, but the internal organs are the biggest!

As it got darker, the aroma of rice soup and vegetables wafted from the small kitchen, and Shi Jin's eyes even showed a hint of a smile.

I can finally have a meal, it’s really not easy!

Chloe may have said that she was tired, so she let Shi Jin go to eat.

As she was about to leave the house, Chloe's family found a marriage partner for her. So every night after finishing the chores in the Second Master's yard, she would rush back home to spend the night and make some wedding clothes, shoes and socks.

This can be considered as the grace given by the eldest lady for her hard work over the years.

"When the Second Master comes back, remember to go to the kitchen and bring him some sobering soup. I sleep lightly at night, so you and Mia should discuss taking turns to keep watch. Don't forget." Before leaving, Chloe turned back and gave him detailed instructions.

Shi Jin didn't show it on her face, and nodded at Si Qi. With a hint of expectation in her eyes, she turned her head to look at the little maid who was serving food. It seemed to be a bowl of white porridge, a dish of stir-fried cabbage, and a steamed bun!

First-class maids are always somewhat respectable. Perhaps knowing that Shi Jin is a newly assigned maid, Aunt Nora, who was in charge of serving food, directly served her a portion first, and also added a portion of pickles mixed with sesame oil and sesame seeds.

She nodded and thanked Aunt Nora, then walked briskly back to the ear room.

After placing the food on the small table beside the bed, Shi Jin took a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of cabbage with full heart and eyes, and was about to put it into his mouth when he heard a servant outside shouting loudly, "Second Master is back, hurry up and bring the sobering soup!"

For a moment, there was a commotion outside, with people shouting and calling out to each other.

Shi Jin hesitated for a moment before stuffing the cabbage into her mouth and swallowing it carelessly. Without even bothering to drink the hot porridge, she hurried out of the side room and moved closer to Mia.
