Maid Is Not Interested In Promotion Chapter 3

Mia's son had already asked the maid to bring the hangover soup. When he saw Shi Jin enter the second room, he pointed to the eight-panel gold-thread embroidered bamboo screen and said, "Go and bring me some hot water, and get me a clean towel."

Shi Jin nodded, turned around the screen, and saw a wide-brimmed copper basin on the mahogany basin stand.

She picked up the copper basin, tore off a soapy white towel, turned around and walked out of the house, walked to the kitchen at the corner door, asked Aunt Nora for hot water, adjusted the temperature, and then walked steadily back to the main room.

As soon as they entered the inner room, Mia had already given the sobering soup to the Second Master. The servant Noah Shi saw Shi Jin holding the copper basin and hurriedly called her over.

Shi Jin pursed his lips, quickened his pace, and brought the copper basin to the side of the rosewood couch.

Noah Shi was quick. He took a clean towel, rinsed it in warm water, wrung it half dry, and then handed it to the person who was half-closed his eyes on the couch.

This was the first time that Shi Jin had met such a noble family member.

She took a quick look and saw that the man on the couch had bright eyebrows and eyes, and a high nose bridge. Although his eyes were half-closed, his eyelashes were as thick as wings. With a handsome face that could not tell whether he was happy or angry, his face was as red as the morning spring, and his eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting.

The man pursed his lips slightly, and with his slender, bony fingers he leisurely took the handkerchief from Noah Shi's hand and wiped his hands and face, then he lazily opened his eyelids.

Shi Jin only felt a pair of cold eyes scanning him, and he could not help but lower his head quickly.

Although Mia was reckless, she could read the displeasure in the Second Master's eyes. She quickly tugged at Shi Jin and said, "This is the maid sent by the old lady. Her name is Shi Jin. She said she is for the Second Master to serve."

The man rubbed his forehead impatiently and didn't say anything.

He waved his hand and asked, "Have you prepared food?"

This time, Mia and Noah Shi were both surprised.

In the afternoon, Noah Shi even ran back to answer the call, saying that the Second Master was drinking outside and might be late when he came back.

The implication is that the Second Master is having dinner outside.

But Noah Shi did not expect that the Second Master was drinking so well, but for some reason he put down the cup, made an excuse that he had something to do at home, and left all his classmates and friends behind, returning to the Marquis' Mansion alone.

He was caught off guard by his return, but after all, Chloe had asked the kitchen to prepare meals before she left, so he wasn't in a rush.

Mia nodded quickly and said, "The kitchen is preparing food for you. I will have someone serve the meal right away."

After she finished speaking, she asked a maid outside the door to go to the kitchen and put the food simmering on the stove into a food box and bring it over.

Shi Jin looked at his nose and his heart, lowered his head and followed Zhi Hua in setting the table.

Soon, three dishes and a soup were placed on the rosewood eight-immortals table.

Steamed fish, cold bamboo shoots, slate tofu, and a lotus leaf soup to relieve heat and greasiness.

Because we didn't know when the Second Master would come back for dinner, the food preparations were a little simple.

Second Master Qi Mojing had also changed into a casual long-sleeved robe at this time. He sat leisurely beside the eight-immortal table, looking at Mia's chopsticks.

Noah Shi had already left. The servant was not allowed to stay overnight in the backyard, so he informed the Second Master before the corner gate was locked and went back first.

Shi Jin looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and stood aside with his hands hanging down, making himself look like a wooden stake.

Qi Mojing glanced at her indifferently, and asked in a cold voice with his usual laziness, "Are you good at finding fault?"

Shi Jin was stunned for a moment before he realized what the Second Master meant.

She hurried forward, picked up a clean pair of chopsticks and a plate, and picked out the bones from the fish bit by bit.

This job is extremely demanding on the eyes, and in the past it was Chloe who found the faults. Chloe was meticulous and had never made any mistakes.

But Shi Jin, is it okay?

Mia hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything.

She was a reckless person by nature, and if she were to find fault with him, she would probably not be even half as good as Shi Jin.

While eating, Qi Mojing took a booklet in his left hand and read it carefully, as if reading was the most important thing and eating was secondary.

Shi Jin was not feeling well at the moment. She was already very hungry, and when she saw the fish, she stared at the place where the fragrance was overflowing.

It felt like there was a hand scratching her stomach, making her heart itch so much that her saliva began to flow more and more.

Swallowing silently, Shi Jin gently placed a piece of fish meat with bones removed in front of Qi Mojing, "Master, the bones are removed."

Qi Mojing glanced over here from behind the book, then lowered his eyelids indifferently, pretending not to hear.

For a moment, the whole room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, with only the sound of pages turning and the occasional clatter of chopsticks.

Qi Mojing ate very slowly during this meal. His slow and leisurely movements would normally make him look like a pleasing nobleman, but in Shi Jin's eyes, they were an unforgivable atrocity.

Staring at the fish meat picked up by the second master's silver chopsticks, Shi Jin's heart also drifted. Seeing the fish meat being carried by the chopsticks between the slender and well-jointed fingers and sent into the second master's rosy mouth, her eyes also moved as she stared at the second master's chewing mouth.

Secretly rubbing his empty stomach, Shi Jin's eyes began to blank out, and the delicious dishes in his mind seemed to have legs and run around.

Qi Mojing raised his head inadvertently and saw a psychedelic smile on Shi Jin's face.

His face suddenly darkened, and he lost his mood for a moment. He threw the silver chopsticks onto the plate, and his voice became tense, "Let's go."

The sudden noise woke up Shi Jin and also startled Zhi Hua.

Looking at the mostly leftover food on the table, Shi Jin's eyes brightened.

Mia was worried about her master, "But it's not to her taste?"

Qi Mojing stood up and walked inside, "I don't have much appetite."

Mia said no more and started to clean up the food on the table with Shi Jin.

After a while, the Eight Immortals Table was as clean as before, with only a joint-glazed bamboo teapot and a few matching teacups left.

Shi Jin sighed lightly and was about to leave the room with Zhi Hua when she heard Qi Mojing call her lazily from behind, "Um... Shi, Jin? You stay for now."

Shi Jin's left foot had already stepped out of the threshold. Hearing Master Qi calling her like that, she sighed in her heart, turned around, lowered her head and looked pleasing to the eye again, and walked slowly to Master Qi, stopping three steps away from him.

"Does Second Master have any instructions?" She asked Second Master Qi with a decent smile on her face and lowered her eyes.

Master Qi's mood improved a little bit, "I'm tired, so go and stay. You'll keep watch tonight."

With a loud bang, the string in Shi Jin's heart broke!
