Queen's Development

Chapter 19 fainted

Lin Jia stood there straight, her voice was clear and stubborn, "My son's mother passed away ten years ago."

Lin Tao: "..."

Thinking of the past ten years ago, he became a little annoyed and said, "It's up to you!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Tao turned over in a hurry in anger, turned his back to Lin Jia and refused to speak.

Lin Jia knew the virtue of her father, so she bowed politely and said, "Father, my son is leaving!"

Hearing this, Lin Tao couldn't help but turned over and sat up and said, "Lin Jia, you should manage Zhao County well. If you can't even run Zhao County well, your imperial uncle—hmph!"

Lin Jia was about to step back, but she was taken aback when her father hesitated to speak.

Lin Tao sat up straight and was about to continue talking, when he suddenly saw the crooked cloak tie around Lin Zhen's neck, he couldn't help laughing, pointed at Lin Jia and nodded: "You silly boy! , come on, your father, I'll tie it for you—haha—hahaha—"

Lin Jia saw that his father started to lose his nerve again, so he refused to ask any more questions, and quietly retreated amidst Lin Tao's wild laughter.

He walked a long way, and he could still hear the wild laughter of King Xingping from the outer study.

In the evening, Lin Jia and his party left Qingzhou in the snowstorm and headed towards Zhao County.

Ye Chunshan, the trusted school lieutenant of King Xingping County, led a group of fully armed bodyguards in armor and hoods, following Lin Jia as guards.

Yuzhi and Qingcha sat in the second carriage driven by Ah Chi and Ah Cheng, both of which were very fresh.

Because there were guards riding horses outside the carriage, they did not dare to lift the curtains to look out, but sat in the carriage obediently, doing needlework and talking, which was an easy time to pass.

It wasn't until late at night that Lin Jia and his party arrived at the inn outside Lin County.

Lin Jia's personal servant, Alan, rushed over ahead of time and had already booked the entire inn. The guards of the county prince's mansion lived in the outer courtyard, so Lin Jia naturally lived in the inner courtyard with the attendants.

Ye Chunshan commanded the guards of the county palace to set up camp, while Lin Jia's carriage drove directly into the post station outside Lin County.

Alan led Lin Jia into the open room of the main room, while Achi and Acheng directed everyone to move the suitcases and arrange the rooms.

Yuzhi and Qingcha felt very self-conscious. After putting their luggage in the small side room next to the second son's room, they washed their hands and went to the main room to serve.

Seeing Lin Jiaduan sitting on the armchair by the east wall in the Ming room, without a cup of tea at hand, Yu Zhi hurriedly said, "My lord, my servant will prepare some hot tea for you! What kind of tea would you like to drink?"

Lin Jia thought about it seriously, and looked at Yuzhi with clear eyes: "The tea you ordered last time was very good."

Seeing that he was so serious, Yuzhi couldn't help laughing, and said: "Your maidservant, go and order that precious fruit and herbal tea!"

She thought for a while, and then asked again: "What does Second Young Master want to use for supper?"

Lin Jia stared at Yu Zhi: "The noodles you made last time are very good."

Yuzhi smiled and said: "Your maidservant has to go and see what materials are available!"

Lin Jia watched Yuzhi recede, and thought: Why does she love to laugh so much?

But Yuzhi's smile is so sweet, it makes people feel better...

Yuzhi found Lin Lan, went into the small kitchen, searched out all the things brought from the small kitchen of Cuiweiju, and asked Qingcha to help Ah Lan to light the fire. It didn't take long for him to make a bowl of rare fruit and herbal tea, which made Ah Lan Qing sent it over.

And Yuzhi was busy in the kitchen for a while, so she ordered a pot of mutton noodles and a large bowl for Ah Qing to send over.

Achi and the others ate the remaining half of the pot of noodles.

She went to her own room to change her clothes, and then she ordered tea, and went to the upper room to wait on her.

After serving Lin Jia to take a shower and go to bed, Yuzhi went back to their room with Qingcha.

The conditions in the post station are actually not that good, but fortunately there is a kang, so it is not cold.

Yuzhi and Yuzhi took a hasty bath and then fell asleep.

The snow stopped at night, but the wind was still there. The whistling of the wind made the few dead leaves on the poplar trees in the courtyard make a crisp "squeaky" sound, which was very desolate.

Yuzhi soon fell asleep.

Before dawn the next day, Lin Jia and his party set off again.

It was not until the second day of November that Lin Jia and his party arrived at Zhao County, Linhai.

Ye Chunshan took Lin Jia to the Zhaoxian county government office with his bodyguards.

According to the order of King Xingping, he will also stay and continue to guard Lin Jia.

Yuzhi was sitting in the carriage, looked over from the curtain, and saw many officials standing in front of the county government office, surrounded Lin Jia and clasped their fists to exchange greetings. Feeling very strange, she knocked on the partition and asked the driver in front Ah Chi: "Ah Chi, the second young master came to Zhao County... to be an official?"

Achi carefully drove the car into the county office through the east door, and said with a smile, "Don't you know? Our son's position is the parent officer of Zhao County!"

Yuzhi: "..."

Qingcha said softly at the side: "Yuzhi, the second son is going to be the county magistrate?"

Yuzhi smiled and nodded, feeling that everything in front of her was really wonderful.

Achi and Acheng drove a carriage, followed the yamen servant Wang Qingyu who came to greet them, and drove north along the boulevard until they reached the back house of the county yamen.

Wang Qingyu is a handsome young man of medium stature, wearing a footless cape covered with lacquer gauze, and a dark red round-neck robe, looking quite imposing.

He thoughtfully led Ah Chi and the others into the inner house, took Yuzhi and Qingcha and the others to see each room, explained something, and then left.

The county government house is a small courtyard house, small and simple, but very clean.

Seeing that the houses were very clean, Yu Zhi assigned the rooms just after they had been cleaned, and instructed Ah Chi and the others to move their luggage to each room.

The main room has three rooms, one bright and two dark. Yuzhi arranged the second son's bedroom in the east dark room, and the study in the west dark room. As for the middle bright room, it doubles as the living room and reception room.

The west wing, one bright and two dark, is naturally the residence of Yuzhi and Qingcha; the east wing is used as a guest room to entertain the second son's guests.

A Chi, A Cheng, A Qing and A Lan lived in the house in the outer courtyard.

Achi and Acheng watched Yuzhi's orderly command and orderly distribution of command, making the extremely hectic moving process clear and clear at once, and they couldn't help laughing.

Ah Cheng said in a low voice: "Yuzhi is such a treasure, it's lucky to have her here this time!"

A Chi thought it was true, and nodded again and again.

After finishing the distribution, Yuzhi was about to pack the second son's luggage with tea, but heard footsteps coming from outside. Looking up, it turned out that Lin Jia came back with A Qing and A Lan.

Yuzhi and the others hurried forward to salute.

Yu Zhi reported to Lin Jia about her allocation of the house.

Lin Jia also had to go outside to hand over to the former county magistrate, and she came back this time to tell everyone to pack their bags.

Knowing that Yuzhi had already made arrangements in advance, Lin Jia was very satisfied.

After looking at the empty house and unpacked luggage, Lin Jia announced in public: "From now on, Yuzhi will be the master of the inner house, Achi, you all listen to her!"

Everyone agreed.

Lin Jia soon took A Qing and A Lan out again.

Yuzhi made up her mind and assigned all the work, and the four of them got busy with their duties.

After being busy until late at night, Lin Jia brought Ah Qing and A Lan back from the outside.

Ah Qing walked in front with a lantern, and Ah Lan walked behind with a waist knife, and returned to the inner house in the bitter night wind.

Before the inner house, Lin Jia and the others saw a pair of air lanterns hanging outside the inner house from a distance. The lights were bright, illuminating the deep night and their way home.

Lin Jia's heart suddenly warmed up, but he couldn't tell what it felt like.

As soon as they walked outside the gate, the gate was opened from the inside. A Chi poked his head out to have a look. Seeing that it was Lin Jia, he hurriedly opened the gate to welcome Lin Jia in.

Lin Jia arrived in the yard, only to find a pair of lanterns depicting bluegrass hung under the corridor of the main building, and the same lanterns were hung in front of the doors of the east wing and west wing, making the whole yard shrouded in a dim and warm light.

Hearing the sound, Yuzhi and Qingcha also came out to welcome them.

Yu Zhi smiled and said: "Second Young Master, the supper is ready!"

Only then did Lin Jia feel that she had been busy for half a day and was already hungry.

He took a deep look at Yuzhi, and raised his legs to climb the bluestone steps in front of the main room's open room.

Before entering the Ming Room, Lin Jia could smell the strong smell of beef soup.

As soon as he entered the Ming Room, he saw a burning charcoal stove on the square table in the Ming Room, and a beef soup pot was sitting on the charcoal stove.

The beef soup is gurgling, exuding the alluring aroma unique to beef soup.

Next to the pot were nine dishes of meat dishes, as well as a small white porcelain jug, a white porcelain wine cup, a white porcelain plate and a pair of chopsticks.

Lin Jia took off her overcoat when served by Qingcha, and washed her hands with fragrant soap while served by Yuzhi, and then sat down at the square table.

Yuzhi rolled up her sleeves, took another pair of chopsticks, and looked at Lin Jia with a smile: "Second Young Master, can you boil the mutton slices first?"

Lin Jia nodded.

Although he was already hungry, he looked extremely calm, maintaining the demeanor of a prince of the palace.

Yuzhi picked up a few thin slices of mutton, carefully rinsed them in the beef soup pot for seven times, then dipped them in some sauce and put them on the plate in front of Lin Jia.

While Lin Jia was eating mutton slices, Yu Zhi put some tofu, yam and meatballs in the pot.

After Lin Jia ate some food, Yu Zhi asked: "Second Young Master, this wine is the famous local clear spring wine that Ah Chi bought from a wine shop on the street. This servant has already tried it, do you want to try it? "

This Zhao County is colder than Qingzhou, and the young master drinks some wine and sleeps, and it will be warmer.

Lin Jia glanced at Yu Zhi, saw that her small face was rosy, her big eyes were watery, obviously she had drunk alcohol, she was looking at her earnestly, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

Yuzhi poured a cup of clear spring wine and offered it to Lin Jia with both hands.

As soon as Lin Jia brought the wine cup to her lips, she smelled the tangy aroma of wine.

He closed his eyes, drank the wine in one gulp, and felt a thread of fire go down his throat. After a while, everything seemed to be on fire, and he couldn't keep his eyes open.

Yuzhi was about to pour another glass of wine for Lin Jia, but when she looked up, she found that Lin Jia had passed out on the square table.

Seeing this scene, Yuzhi was startled, her heart almost jumped out, she rushed over, calling "Second Young Master", while throwing herself on Lin Jia, reaching out her hand to explore Lin Jia's nose.

Thinking of Lin Jia being poisoned twice, tears welled up in Yu Zhi's eyes, and her voice choked up: "Second Young Master——"
