Queen's Development

Chapter 16
Mother Yang was talking to Achi, when Abi said that Yuzhi had come, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Let Yuzhi come in!"

Abi agreed, opened the green satin cotton curtain on the door and went out.

A Chi looked at the blue satin cotton curtain, with a look of anticipation on his delicate face.

Seeing this, Mother Yang smiled secretly, and said, "Yuzhi, this maid, is doing her job well. This time, she will go to Zhao County with Second Young Master, and take care of Second Young Master. After a while, you can take her to Second Young Master's room and pack Second Young Master's luggage." one time!"

A Chi had already given birth to a pair of exquisite hearts, and immediately heard the meaning of Yang's mother's words, quickly restrained the smile on her face, and said, "Mom, I understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, Abi opened the green satin cotton curtain and brought Yuzhi in.

After Yuzhi came in, her eyes swept around like water, and then she smiled and saluted Yang's mother.

A Chi only felt that Yuzhi's eyes were like cold stars, clear and cold, and she was really kind to look at.

He hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Sister Yuzhi, the place the second son is going this time is Zhao County, Zhao County is near the sea, it's a bit cold, you have to bring warm clothes."

Yuzhi hurriedly said with a smile, "I see."

The cotton curtain hanging on the door was drawn down, and the room was a little dark. Mother Yang simply told Abi: "Light up the lamp!"

A lampstand was placed in the corner of the Ming room, and a glazed lamp was placed on the lampstand.

Abi stepped forward, took off the glazed lampshade, lit the candles, and then put the glazed lampshade back on.

Under the shade of the clear light from the glazed lamp, Yuzhi's eyes were like cold stars, shining brightly and extremely beautiful.

A Chi's delicate face blushed slightly, and he said, "If sister Yuzhi is convenient now, you can follow me to pack your luggage for the young master!"

Yuzhi looked up at Mama Yang, and seeing Mama Yang nodding her head slightly, she answered "yes".

After bidding farewell to Mama Yang, Yuzhi followed Achi out of the small courtyard where Mama Yang lived, and went to the main house of Cuiweiju, where the second son lived.

Achi was a little nervous, and silently led Yuzhi to the porch of Cuiwei's main room, reached out and knocked on the door frame three times, and a young man with slender eyebrows and narrow eyes walked out of the west dark room.

When he saw Achi and Yuzhi, he smiled: "Is that sister Yuzhi? I'm Acheng next to the second son!"

Yuzhi quietly looked at him with a smile and nodded.

Ah Cheng is a little familiar, and she is beaming when she speaks: "Sister Yuzhi, the second son's bedroom is in the east dark room, let me take you in!"

Yuzhi glanced at Achi, and Achi smiled shyly: "Sister Yuzhi, follow Ahcheng in, I'll stay here and guard!"

The south-facing window of the bedroom in the east dark room is wide open, and the room is bright.

Yuzhi took a look and found that the furniture in the bedroom was made of yellow rosewood, and the curtained bed was made of dark blue fabric.

A pair of huanghuali wooden chairs are placed against the west gable, and in the middle of the chairs is a small table carved with huanghuali.

On the north side of the east gable wall are two large wardrobes; on the south side is a large bookshelf full of books.

To the east of the window is a book case, on which are the Four Treasures of the Study, and a pair of bows and arrows hanging beside the book case; to the south is a low huanghuali couch with a small huanghuali wood kang table on it.

The whole bedroom is very simple and comfortable.

After looking at the layout of the bedroom, Yu Zhi asked with a smile: "Ah Cheng, does the Second Young Master like cleanliness very much? Do you need to bring bedding and pillows?"

She wanted to inquire about the living habits of the Second Young Master, so that she would know it well when packing her luggage.

Ah Cheng smiled: "Young master loves cleaning, and loves taking a bath the most. It's best to bring bedding and pillows with you!"

After hearing this, Yu Zhi had a clue in her heart, and with the help of Ah Cheng, she packed the second son's luggage in an orderly manner.

While packing her luggage, Yu Zhi quietly observed, and found that although the Second Young Master's bedroom didn't have any particularly precious items, it was spacious, clean and comfortable. Although there were not many clothes in the closet, everything was neatly folded. It seems that Yang's mother really loves the second son.

Looking at the packed luggage on the brocade couch in front of the bedroom window, Ah Cheng and Yu Zhi both laughed.

Yuzhi likes to read books the most, so she asked Ah Cheng: "Ah Cheng, do you need to bring these books of the second son?"

Ah Cheng was about to speak, when Ah Chi's voice came from outside: "Second Young Master, you are back, Mama Yang asked Sister Yuzhi to pack your luggage, and Ah Cheng is also inside!"

Yu Zhi hurriedly followed Ah Cheng to welcome her out.

A very handsome tall boy walked in, his face was pale, his figure was rather thin, his eyelids were drooping because he was thinking about something, his thick eyelashes cast heavy fan-shaped shadows on his eyelids, his nose bridge was straight, and his color was light Her upturned lips were tightly pursed—it was the second young master Lin Jia!

Seeing Lin Jia's complexion was so bad, Yuzhi felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, she stood up after paying her respects, and said softly: "Second Young Master, would you like me to order you a cup of tea?"

Lin Jia was thinking about the purpose of his father sending him to Zhao County, when he heard Yuzhi's voice, he looked over and saw a girl standing by the door of the bedroom, with thick eyebrows and long eyelashes, big black eyes, full and bright red lips Slightly pursing her lips, her snow-white round face was only the size of a palm, and her figure was graceful—it was Yuzhi, the maid arranged by Yang's mother to serve him personally!

He has always been a bit preoccupied and used to deep thinking, so he also seriously thought about Yuzhi's sentence - "May I order you a cup of tea?"

From Yuzhi's point of view, Lin Jia's face was thoughtful at this time, the corners of her eyes were raised slightly, and her long eyelashes drooped down. Although her face was pale, her eyebrows were still picturesque and inexplicably handsome.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt that the second son was clearly the son of the county prince, but because of the early death of his biological mother, it seemed that life was not easy, it was so painful and pitiful.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhi's heart became softer and her eyes towards Lin Jia became softer.

Lin Jia asked softly, "What kind of tea would you order?"

Yuzhi said softly: "Golden orange tea with candied fruit, melon seed tea with plum and osmanthus, salted bamboo shoots, sesame sweet-scented osmanthus tea, rare fruit and vanilla tea..."

She made several choices, and then smiled sweetly: "I can order ordinary tea! However, Second Young Master, your complexion is a little pale, and your lips are light-colored——"

Yuzhi's fingers quickly touched Lin Jia's hand, and she left immediately.

She noticed that Lin Jia's hands were cold, so she added: "Your hands are cold, you must be hungry... I'll go to Mama Yang's place, and I'll order you some precious fruit and herbal tea first, okay?"

Seeing her star-like eyes staring at her, Lin Jia forgot her persistence, and said involuntarily, "Okay!"

Seeing Yuzhi curtseying and retreating, he hurriedly added: "Add more sugar!"

Yuzhi turned her head and said with a smile, "Don't worry!"

As soon as Lin Jia washed her hands and changed her clothes, Yu Zhi brought over the ordered rare fruit and herbal tea on a tray.

She presented the teacup to Lin Jia, and looked at Lin Jia with her big eyes flickering.

Lin Jia lifted the lid of the bowl, tentatively took a sip, the mouth was full of sweetness, warm, smooth and fragrant, after one sip, it seemed that the whole body warmed up, so she took another sip.

Seeing Lin Jianeng accepting the tea she ordered, Yuzhi smiled and said, "Second Young Master, I will serve you a bowl of noodles. What kind of noodles do you like?"

The second young master didn't seem to have eaten two meals, but the next one is the fastest one. The noodles, meat, eggs and vegetables in the small kitchen at Mama Yang's side are all ready-made.

Lin Jia looked up at Yuzhi, thought about it seriously, and said, "Just look at it, as long as it's noodles, I like to eat it."

His deceased mother, Concubine Jiang, was born in a noble family in Jinzhou and liked to eat pasta. He was influenced by his mother and loved to eat pasta since he was a child. But now Concubine Li is from Ezhou and is used to rice. Now the staple food of the palace is rice. It is not so convenient to eat noodles.

Although Yuzhi was young, she was a bit maternal when facing Lin Jia, who was two years older than her, so she immediately said, "Then I'll serve you a bowl of mutton noodles!"

The last time she helped Yang's mother keep accounts, she remembered that the small kitchen had just received mutton and flour from the village outside the city.

Lin Jia nodded: "Okay!"

Yuzhi bowed her knees and bowed, then retreated.

As soon as she stepped out of the Mingjian door, she quickened her pace and hurried to the small courtyard where Mama Yang lived.

Mother Yang was also happy when she heard that Second Young Master wanted to eat mutton noodles, so she smiled and said, "Yu Zhi, go to the small kitchen and make it!"

Then he told Abi: "Abi, you go with Yuzhi!"

Because she was afraid of being poisoned, she sent people to watch the small kitchen very strictly. Without Abi, Yuzhi might not be able to enter.

Abi agreed and went with Yuzhi.

Yuzhi washed her hands again, and with the help of the kitchen assistant, she reconciled the noodles and woke up.

Seeing that the mother-in-law had stewed the mutton bone soup in advance, Yuzhi was overjoyed and started to make mutton dumplings.

After the mutton saozi was ready and the smell wafted out, Yuzhi went to visit the noodles again and found that the noodles had woken up!
She swiftly chopped the noodles into thin slices, and put them into the boiling water pot together with the green vegetables. After cooking, she took them out and put them in a large sea bowl, then poured two tablespoons of mutton bone soup and mutton stew, and then Sprinkle chopped coriander and garlic sprouts, and finally saw that there was pre-made chili oil in the jar, so I ordered a few drops.

After everything was settled, Yuzhi smelled it herself, and felt that the bowl of mutton saozi was full of complexion and fragrance, and she was very satisfied.

Abi kept watching, and said eagerly when she saw this, "Sister Yuzhi, the noodles left in the pot..."

Yu Zhi was putting the big sea bowl into the food box, when she heard this, she squinted her eyes and smiled: "You take it out and eat it, and I'll ask Mama Wang to help you add mutton bone soup, mutton sausage, and coriander and garlic sprouts!"

Mama Wang is the mother-in-law who helps cook in the small kitchen.

Ms. Wang hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss Yuzhi, don't worry, I'm here!"

Subconsciously, Yuzhi regarded Lin Jia as a child. After entering the open room of the main room of Cuiwei Residence, seeing Lin Jia sitting on the Luohan bed in the open room, she took out the sea bowl containing noodles from the food box and placed it directly on the Nanmu small kang table Go up, and then carefully moved the small kang table to the bed: "Second Young Master, you can try it!"

Lin Jiazao smelled the tempting scent of noodles, and was trying to suppress herself, so she raised her eyes to look at Yuzhi, and silently picked up the chopsticks.

He was really hungry, and felt that the noodle soup made by Yuzhi was extremely fresh, the noodles were somersaulting, and the dumplings were delicious, which was unexpectedly delicious.

When Lin Jia put down her chopsticks, Yu Zhi hurriedly handed over the fragrant tea that had been brewed in advance.

Lin Jia took the fragrant tea that Yuzhi handed over, rinsed her mouth, looked up at Yuzhi, her eyes were bright: "We're leaving in the evening, you go back and get your luggage!"
