Chapter 77 Lord Chawei...Qingshan bullies me.
That day, Song Jin seemed to know some incredible secret of Ji Shubai. He felt very sad. When he came back to see him again, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
It is different from when she first came here, when her miserable identity as a slave made her dislike everyone. Now that she has gone through so much trouble and is on the verge of victory, when she looks at Ji Shubai again, her heart has become kinder.
Perhaps as Song Jin said before, being a good person is conditional. Now that her good days are ahead, her heart has also become kind.
However, Ji Shubai didn't know all this, he just felt that the way she looked at him was very strange.
"What's wrong with you today? Are you still drunk?"
"ah?"
Song Jin came back to her senses and looked around panicky, only to see Qingshan glaring at her.
They agreed that not a single word of what they talked about today would be mentioned in front of Ji Shubai.
"Oh, I'm tired of riding a horse. Qingshan is not very good at teaching people."
"You're talking nonsense!" Qingshan refused to agree: "It's obviously you who are stupid!"
Song Jin was just looking for an excuse, so he naturally wouldn't argue with him: "When are you free, Master Ji? Can you teach me how to ride a horse?"
She heard Qingshan tsk, and Ji Shubai just smiled: "I really don't have time these two days, but I will be free in a few days. We are not in a hurry, we can take our time."
"Then please teach me in a few days."
Qingshan couldn't bear to see this, and rushed to say: "Sir, give her to me, I will keep her in the church for three days."
Ji Shubai sensed something was wrong: "What's going on between you two?"
Neither of them said a word.
Just like that, the next day Song Jin fell into Qingshan's hands again, and this time Qingshan was really rude.
He let Song Jin ride on the horse, handed her the reins, and told her: "Hold the reins tightly, don't let go, lower your body slightly forward, and keep your legs together, don't fall off."
Song Jin was still listening to the instructions and adjusting his movements when Qingshan slapped the horse on its butt. The horse leapt out and Song Jin was so frightened that he stuck to the horse's back.
"Qingshan! You're done!"
Song Jin cursed while holding the reins tightly, cursing under his breath but not daring to relax his hands. Soon Qingshan caught up on another horse.
"How's it? Riding is easy, right?"
It's so simple! My soul is flying!
Song Jin looked ahead, not daring to relax for a moment. Qingshan, who was standing beside her, saw that she was gradually getting the hang of it, so he raised his whip to hit her horse, startling Song Jin and causing her to scream.
"No! Don't touch my horse!"
Qingshan had no choice but to stop: "Why are you panicking? This horse is well-trained and will not abandon you."
"I don't know."
Qingshan chuckled and waited for the horse to stop because it was tired. Song Jin held his breath and pulled the reins to turn back to the yamen.
She hurried to file a complaint.
However, the well-trained horse was not familiar with her, and she couldn't adjust the direction after fiddling with it for a long time.
"What are you going to do?"
"Go back and tell your parents about your crime."
Qingshan laughed loudly: "You want to report me? You haven't even seen the city gate yet, but you've been knocked unconscious by the salt slaves. If they knew you were a woman, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to come back."
"Salt apprentice?" Song Jin was confused: "What salt apprentice?"
"They are just like bandits, making a living along the river. When they see a lone person, they will hit him with a club, knock him unconscious and then take away his money. If they meet a rich person, they will extort him. If they meet a poor person, they will abandon him. If they meet a woman..."
Song Jin hugged her chest and said, "What's going on?"
"What else can you do? Just don't run around alone."
Regardless of whether it was true or false, Song Jin didn't dare to gamble with his life, so he had to stay there obediently.
"I want to come down."
"Just go down."
"What are you going to do if you leave me here?"
Qing Shan sneered: "I brought you out, so I have to bring you back intact, otherwise how can I explain to my parents?"
"You still have some conscience." Song Jin muttered and slid off the horse.
He was quite frightened just now, and was more frightened than angry. At this moment, Song Jin didn't want to quarrel with Qingshan. He just wanted to go back and report him to Ji Shubai.
When Qingshan saw Song Jin stopped, he got off the horse and sat with her under the tree.
"Why are you upset? Who wouldn't be frightened when they start riding a horse?"
Song Jin snorted and turned around.
She had actually heard this logic before. It was like this when she first learned to ride a bicycle. She always heard people say that it is impossible to learn to ride a bicycle without falling, and you will learn it by falling over and over again.
That's how she learned it.
"You're not a bad person, you just have a bad temper."
"I'm weird? Can I be as weird as your parents?"
Qingshan was unhappy: "What's wrong with my master? My master is very nice."
Song Jin asked again: "I heard you say that your master has never been served by a woman. Why? You and him..."
Song Jin's mind went through countless stories she had read. This Ming Dynasty scholar and servant, hehe——
"What are you thinking about? As a woman, can't you think of something good?" Qingshan stood up angrily.
"I didn't say anything. It's obvious that you made a wild guess and framed me."
Qingshan couldn't win the argument with her, so he sat down heavily and said, "You are a person who can't control your words, no wonder you can cause so many troubles. If it weren't for my master protecting you, Master Lu would have dealt with you long ago."
"Deal with me? Lord Lu?" Song Jin was surprised. What does this have to do with Lord Lu?
That portion of croton seeds was clearly meant for Ji Shubai, but he refused to eat it and let Lu Junnian snatch it away. Lu Junnian put the blame on her without any reason.
"What else? Why do you think my master brought you out?"
Song Jin was still thinking about Lu Junnian who had caused her trouble, so she spoke in a bad mood: "Maybe your parents like me?"
"Ah! No way, my master said t, he won't marry you!"
Song Jin was stunned. Saying that he liked her was just a joke, but Ji Shubai had even talked to someone about marrying her? Why did he talk about this? Who did he talk to?
"When did you say that? Who did you say that to?"
"Master Lu, Master Lu asked my master whether he wants to marry a wife or a concubine, or to be a maid."
When Song Jin heard this, he was furious. Lu Junnian was quite thoughtful and even took connecting rooms into account.
"But my master said that he doesn't want any of you, so he wants you to be denaturalized as soon as possible so that he can send you away."
"What are you doing? Am I some kind of plague god? Are you in such a hurry to send me away?"
Qingshan glanced at her and said, "No, but it's almost the same. Before I met you, my master had never lost his temper like this."
When Song Jin heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let me tell you, when a man meets a woman and starts to lose his composure, that's the beginning of love."
After saying that, he ignored Qingshan and got up to look for a horse. Then he heard Qingshan shouting from behind: "You are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense! My master doesn't like you!"
Song Jin was too lazy to pay attention to him.
What do you know, little brat?
Qingshan didn't give Song Jin a good look that afternoon, but Song Jin didn't care at all. Plus, she had been scared once before and nothing happened, so she became braver. Even if Qingshan increased her strength, she still learned it easily.
It’s still the same old saying, you learn faster after a fall, and Song Jin learns faster after a scare.
Ji Shubai has been very busy these days, so busy that he was nowhere to be seen for dinner. He ate with a group of officials.
It was inconvenient for Song Jin to join in the fun, nor was it convenient for him to sneak into someone else's bedroom in the middle of the night, so he didn't see Ji Shubai for two or three days and focused on learning horse riding.
On the fourth day, Song Jin was really tired and wanted to take a day off, so he did not go out to the suburbs.
Coincidentally, Ji Shubai did not go out either, and was looking through something in the study of the county government office.
When Song Jin found out, he rushed over immediately.
Ever since Qingshan heard what Song Jin said that day that Ji Shubai liked her, he didn't like her very much. But Song Jin didn't even look at him.
"Master Ji is busy?"
Song Jin greeted Ji Shubai with a smile in a somewhat familiar manner, completely forgetting the etiquette of this world. Fortunately, Ji Shubai didn't bother with her.
"I'm not busy today. Let me take a look at Wu County's expenditure this year."
Song Jin scratched his head and roughly guessed that he was checking where the money went so that he could check whether it was actually used.
This was a delicate job, so she stopped talking and started wandering around the study, making Qingshan's eyes blaze with anger.
"Sir, let's get things done. She's annoying people hanging around here. Tell her to go back."
When Song Jin heard that the boss was not happy, he immediately revealed a hint of tea: "Sir, can I serve you with your writing?"
Ji Shubai's eyes stayed on the account book, and he didn't notice the fight between the two: "No need, Qingshan is used to serving me."
"that is."
Qingshan chimed in, but Song Jin refused, resting his elbows on the table, holding his chin with both hands, his voice became softer: "Sir... Qingshan bullied me."
"Hmm?" Song Jin's tone suddenly changed, and even Ji Shubai noticed it. He raised his head and asked, "How did he bully you?"
"He saw me on horseback and whipped my horse, which frightened me. That's why I didn't ride today."
"You are talking nonsense!" Qingshan's eyes turned red with anxiety: "Sir, she is talking nonsense. She is a person with evil intentions."
Song Jin was not angry, and asked with a long tail tone: "How could my intentions be wrong? With Master Ji here, how could I be wrong?"
"You are a person who calls others a slave as soon as you show weakness. You are arrogant all the time. Where have you ever called yourself a slave?"
Song Jin curled her lips. This was true. When she looked up at Ji Shubai's reaction, she saw that Ji Shubai's eyes had moved away from the account book and were now staring at her, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, just like the way he looked when he asked for the red deed at the Bai family that day.
Song Jin didn't know why he was laughing, but she knew that if Ji Shubai laughed like that, he must not be angry, so she boldly went further.
"Master Ji, I'm thirsty."
"There is tea in the county government office, you can use it."
Song Jin sighed in his heart, unwillingly: "I want to stay here with you, sir, but I don't know where you put the tea leaves."
Ji Shubai didn't care and said to Qingshan, "Make her a cup of tea?"
"Me? Her? I make her tea?"
Ji Shubai's voice softened: "Go ahead." He was quite accommodating to his servants.
Qingshan left angrily, leaving Song Jin smiling smugly.
"Okay, don't speak in that tone anymore. It sounds weird. If I were him, I'd get angry too. I only have this person close to me. If he gets angry, what should I do?"
When they were the only two left in the room, Ji Shubai spoke up to expose Song Jin. Song Jin just smiled and felt that Ji Shubai was a little different today and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Also, you really need to change your way of speaking. It doesn't matter in private, but if you meet outsiders, people will inevitably say that I am a bad teacher, and I can't afford to lose face."
Song Jin pursed his lips: "Got it."
After Ji Shubai finished speaking, he continued to look at his account book. After Song Jin finished playing tricks, he began to look around in the study room. As a result, his attention was attracted by a pile of business cards on the desk.
