Queen's Development

Chapter 102 Beauty
Mama Xia was the dowry maid of the old concubine, and she was very respectable in Lin Tao's place. She brought Dongmei and Aimei to Lin Tao's outer study, left Dongmei and Aimei waiting in the corridor, and went into the study by herself.

After curtsying to Lin Jia, Mama Xia conveyed the old concubine's words with a smile.

Lin Tao listened, with a thoughtful expression on his face——Ajia should have put some eyeliner beside the old concubine, so Ajia came here to perform in advance, in case the old concubine crowded around him !
Realizing that Lin Jia was smarter than he imagined, Lin Tao couldn't help smiling. After Xia's mother finished speaking, she smiled and said: "Mother is kind and caring for Ajia. As a son, I naturally understand mother's painstaking efforts. It's just me I have already arranged for Ajia a maid named Yuzhi to wait on her, Ajia is weak, I am worried that if there are too many people in the room, it will harm Ajia, mother's kindness, I accept it on behalf of Ajia."

Xia's mother came here full of ambition, thinking that the prince is pure and filial, and the matter can be settled as soon as she said it, but when she opened her mouth, the prince immediately blocked her back. good.

She and the old concubine have always followed the character setting of loving Lin Jia and caring for Lin Jia and not being used to what Princess Li did, so they couldn't speak for a while, so they had to bow their knees and bow and leave.

Dongmei and Aimei were waiting on the porch, seeing Mama Xia enter with a happy face and come out dejectedly, they couldn't help but feel a little bit in their hearts.

Aimei is deeply loved by Xia's mother, and as soon as she went out to the study yard, she quietly asked Xia's mother: "Mom, what does the prince say?"

Xia's mother sighed and said: "Aren't you on good terms with Yuzhi? Why didn't you know that the prince put Yuzhi in the second son's room?"

Ai Mei bit her lip when she heard that, "I talked to Yuzhi a few days ago, but she didn't even mention it..."

Before Xia's mother could speak, Dongmei sneered and said, "Hmph, you treat him as a friend, and he poachs your corner behind your back, don't you understand?"

When Aimei heard this, tears welled up in an instant—Mother Xia had told her a long time ago that she would give her to the second son, Lin Jia. Zhi took away...

After hearing Mama Xia's reply, the old concubine was speechless for a long time.

She knew her son well. According to Lin Tao's personality, if he decided on something, it would be difficult to change.

Now if he insists on stuffing people into Lin Jia's room, Lin Tao will think that he is going to cheat Lin Jia, and the efforts he made in the past ten years will be in vain...

Thinking of this, the old concubine said lightly: "Since the prince disagrees, then forget it."

Mother Xia looked around and saw that Dongmei and the others were avoiding her, so she said softly: "Taufei, the prince has always favored the second son, and it is unfair to the third son. Directly reported the name of the second son..."

The old concubine lowered her eyes and said, "The prince reported Lin Jia up, not because he was partial, but..."

Xia's mother was listening intently, and seeing the old concubine hesitate to speak, she was very curious, but she didn't dare to ask, she just looked at the old concubine eagerly.

The old concubine changed the subject: "Wait a while and get some money for clothes and go to Biezhuang to see the princess. The Biezhuang was originally Jiang Shuyan's dowry. Although the princess took it into her hands, there are still people in the village who still miss Jiang Shuyan. In case these people take the opportunity to collude with Han Yuniang to harm the princess..."

Xia's mother hurriedly said: "Grand Concubine, this servant is going out of the city to visit Wang Fei!"

When Mother Xia left, the old concubine sat there leaning on the red sandalwood table, concentrating on her thoughts.

This time Lin Jia went to Beijing to participate in the selection of the heir to the throne of Emperor Yongtai in March. In any case, she had to bring Lin Yi to the capital before March, follow the empress dowager's footsteps, and give Lin Yi a chance to participate in the selection...

The three sisters Lixiang, Guixi and Lanzi also brought them along, and used their marriage to help Ayi...

It was still dark the next morning, and Lin Jia and his party were about to set off.

Yuzhi took out the black fox fur satin jacket prepared for Lin Jia in advance, and asked Lin Jia to wear it under the jade white brocade robe.

Lin Jia laughed in horror: "I still need to wear a cloak outside, and this fox fur satin jacket, wouldn't I turn into a ball?"

After finishing speaking, he put on the sapphire blue satin snow fox cloak and hurried out.

Seeing this, Yuzhi had no choice but to put away the black fox fur satin jacket, preparing to force Lin Jia to wear it when she was cold.

As soon as Lin Jia came out of the Ming Dynasty, she ran into her father Lin Tao head-on, and couldn't help laughing: "Father, why are you here?"

Lin Tao was wearing a black satin cloak with silver stripes, standing tall and standing under the steps, looking at Lin Jia.

Ping Lin and Han Shan followed behind.

Lin Jia was a little embarrassed by his father, so she went down the steps and walked out with Lin Tao.

Lin Tao looked at his son, thinking that Lin Jia was about to travel to Beijing, he felt a little uncomfortable, and said, "Your grandmother wanted to put people in your room, but I refused!"

Lin Jiafeng's eyes were clear, and she said honestly: "Father, I bought people around my grandmother, and when I learned that my grandmother was going to let people into my room, I was worried that what she wanted to give me was Princess Li's eyeliner, so I went to my father." Your."

Seeing Lin Jia's confession, Lin Tao couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and patted Lin Jia's shoulder, motioning for everyone to back off, and then said in a low voice: "Ajia, after you arrive in the capital, find a free time to go to Yanqingfang See the shopkeeper of Yibaolou in Yibaolou, show him this, and then explain your identity, if you have trivial matters in the future, you can ask him to help you!"

He stuffed a jade pendant tied with a blue silk rope into Lin Jia's hand.

Lin Jia turned to look at Lin Tao.

Lin Tao walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and said in a very low voice: "Ajia, Yibao Building is a hidden pile planted in Beijing for my father. It has been in operation for many years, and I will hand it over to you in the future!"

Lin Jia couldn't tell what it was like, but her eyes were already moist.

He hated his father for letting down his mother, but he always enjoyed his father's love for him...

When they arrived at the post station outside Qingzhou City, Lin Jia and his party stopped for breakfast.

The carriage stopped outside the post station, Lin Jia jumped out of the carriage first, turned around and helped Yuzhi down.

Hu Yingzhi and Mr. Liu were in the same carriage. He had already resigned from his position as a judge in Qingzhou and followed Lin Jia wholeheartedly.

After getting off the car, Hu Yingzhi looked at Yuzhi and found that Yuzhi was following Lin Jia towards the gate of the inn. She was wearing a cloak with sapphire blue embroidered with jade-colored orchids today, she looked quite tall from behind, Lin Jia's stature He was considered tall among men, but Yuzhi was already in Lin Jia's ears.

You know, Yuzhi is only 15 years old this year, so she still has room to grow!
Thinking of this, Hu Yingzhi lowered his head silently, feeling very depressed - he felt that if Yuzhi continued to grow taller, she might be taller than him next year. It's a joke!
However, Hu Yingzhi has always had a lively mind, and immediately found a solution to the problem-I can customize a few pairs of soap boots with inner height!
Thinking of this, the depression in his heart immediately disappeared, he smiled slightly, raised his legs and followed.

It's the twelfth lunar month now, Qingzhou is located on the northern coast, and the weather is surprisingly cold. Although there is no snow, the wind comes from the sea, sweeping with damp and biting cold air. Although Lin Jia is wearing a black feather gauze cloak, she is still sleeping. I shivered.

Seeing her, Yuzhi hurriedly said in a low voice: "That fox fur satin jacket, let's change into it when we enter the station!"

Lin Jia let out a "hmm", glanced at Yuzhi, and Xiuchang's eyes were full of smiles—he was finally going to leave Qingzhou with Yuzhi, and began to walk towards a wider world!

After entering the inn, Yuzhi found several carriages parked in the yard of the inn, and one of them was quite luxuriously decorated and made of materials. She couldn't help being a little curious, and asked Lin Jia in a low voice, "Why are so many people traveling far away in such a cold day?" ?”

Lin Jia looked at the badge on the carriage, and said in a low voice with a smile: "These carriages belong to the family of Liang Yongming, Shangshu of the Central Military Department. Liang Yongming was originally from Qingzhou. The green brocade sandalwood carriage over there should be the female family member of the Liang family. , I am afraid that the female members of the Liang family are going to the capital to celebrate the New Year!"

Liang Yongming's wife, Ouyang Shi, was his mother's best friend back then. He often saw Mrs. Liang and her youngest daughter Liang Yingyu when he was a child. After his mother passed away, he lost contact with the Liang family.

Lin Jia was talking to Yuzhi when a few maids wearing satin jackets inlaid with rabbit fur picked up a girl wearing a big red feather crepe ferret cloak from the green brocade sandalwood car.

The girl came over surrounded by several servant girls, and happened to meet Lin Jiayuzhi.

Yuzhi and the girl met each other's eyes, and couldn't help but admire secretly—what a beauty!

This girl is about fifteen or sixteen years old, her small face is only the size of a palm, her features are picturesque, and she is very beautiful.

Seeing Yuzhi, the girl smiled in Qingshui's eyes, then looked at Lin Jia, her eyes lit up immediately, she smiled sweetly, and said in a clear and pleasant voice, "Brother Ajia!"

Lin Jia looked at it intently, and immediately recognized it: "Are you the younger sister of the Liang family?"

Liang Yingyu smiled sweetly: "Exactly!"

She sized Lin Jia up and saw a group of soldiers following Lin Jia, so she smiled and said, "Brother Ajia, are you going to Beijing too?"

Lin Jia answered "Yes".

Liang Yingyu's smile was even sweeter, and her voice was delicate: "Brother Ajia, I'm going to Beijing now! I was worried about the safety of the road, but now I happen to be with you, brother Ajia. With brother Ajia here, I'm not afraid anymore!"

Lin Jia smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Liang Yingyu glanced at Yu Zhi, and thought: Lin Jia is not married, this girl is so beautiful, and she dresses like a girl, and she behaves intimately with Lin Jia, she should be Lin Jia's maid!

Her beautiful eyes turned into crescent moons: "Brother Ajia, this must be my sister-in-law?"

When Lin Jia heard this, Jun's face immediately flushed red, and his long phoenix eyes were also watery, but he insisted on pretending to be nonchalant, trying to change the subject: "We're going to have breakfast, and when it's time to leave, I'll order someone to notify you! "

When Yu Zhi heard that Lin Jia used "we", she thought it was a little funny, but she was also a little bit proud. She looked at Lin Jia with a smile, and it happened that Lin Jia was also looking at her, and the two looked at each other.

Lin Jia blushed even more, she bowed her hands to Liang Yingyu, glanced at Yuzhi, and said, "Let's go!"

Yuzhi answered "yes" and followed Lin Jia to the reserved guest house!
Liang Yingyu stood there handsomely, looking at Lin Jia's back, Qing Shui's eyes were full of determination to win.

After receiving a letter from her father from the capital, her grandmother ordered someone to inquire about the date of Lin Jia's entry to Beijing, which finally enabled her to successfully create a chance encounter with Lin Jia.

The father said in the letter that when Emperor Yongtai summoned Lin Jia to Beijing, he signaled to the court officials to call their daughters of the right age to Beijing, probably to choose a wife for Lin Jia.

For her father's official career and family glory, she will definitely make Lin Jia fall in love with her, marry Lin Jia, and one day become the most noble woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
