Queen's Development

Chapter 192
Mrs. Zhuang was sitting upright on the Arhat bed in the open room, her middle coat was already drenched with cold sweat.

To her, killing one or two lives was nothing, she didn't even know how many lives she had.

It's just that this time it's too risky, she might offend one of the most powerful people in the Great Zhou Dynasty...

The servant girl who came to report had never seen Zhuang Shi like this before. Seeing Zhuang Shi's face was sallow, she hurriedly said: "Madam, you..."

Mrs. Zhuang closed her eyes, took a deep breath, opened her eyes and looked at the maidservant who had come forward: "Go and tell Qu San that his wife has gone to the old house in Ezhou for me to do errands. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back!"

The servant girl answered "yes" and was about to leave, but Zhuang stopped her again: "Go to Suyu and get 30 taels of silver for Qu San, just say that his wife has worked hard, and this is my reward for Qu San! "

Suyu is Zhuang's personal maid, who has always been in charge of Zhuang's private money.

After she took 30 taels of silver and gave it to the talented maid, she came over and asked Mrs. Zhuang, "Madam, do you want to tell your lord this matter?"

Zhuangshi slowly shook his head.

This matter is too big, and she made up her own opinion. If Yu Yizhou knew, even if it was not enough for her, he would not let her off lightly.

Suyu dared not speak, but looked at Zhuangshi eagerly.

After a while, Mrs. Zhuang calmed down a bit, and told Suyu: "Go and call the eldest son's servant, you have to call the eldest son back, I really have no idea now..."

Her only son, Yu Mingxing, is a former Jinshi, and now he is the magistrate of Cao County, Heze.

Suyu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Ma'am, the eldest son is taking office, let the eldest son come back—"

Mrs. Zhuang covered her face with her hands, rubbed it vigorously, and then said: "Master and I don't agree. He only likes those little goblins in the East Court. This matter has to be returned by Xingxing. I will discuss it with Xingxing!"

Yu Yizhou's taste is different, he likes little girls under 12 years old the most, he only plays with those little girls offered by his cronies all day long, and treats her more and more coldly.

Suyu answered "yes" and stepped back to pass on the message.

Only Mrs. Zhuang was left in the Ming Dynasty.

She leaned softly on the sapphire sapphire pillow, thinking of the fate of those who opposed Lin Jia. Concubine Li died violently, Concubine Zhao Gui and Concubine Li Shu committed suicide by taking poison, Concubine Li died of pain while tortured, Li's house ransacked, men and women... Ding was exiled in Liaozhou, women were not enslaved, and five generations of descendants could not become officials; Empress Zhu was given to death, and the Zhu family rebelled. Now Zhu's father and son are all ghosts from other places, and all the troops under his command were taken to Xixia by Han Qing...

I don't know how long it took, but the maid who was waiting in the corridor heard Zhuang's hoarse and dry voice in the bright room: "Suyin, go and see if the master is back. If the master is back, please come over and tell me that I am important." You need to discuss with the master!"

Suyin answered "yes" and took a little maid with her.

Yu Yizhou was talking with a few cronies in the study outside.

Zhang Zijun, the servant of his protégé, served Yu Yizhou a cup of tea with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Master En, we've dealt with Lin Jia for so long, I'm afraid he's going to give in!"

Yu Yizhou stroked his beard, feeling complacent: "The old man is here waiting for Lin Jia to subdue him!"

Hearing that his disciples and confidants all burst into laughter, the atmosphere in the outer study was really lively.

Zhang Zijun said with a mysterious face, "Enxiang, Yuzhou has sent more than a dozen beautiful girls, you..."

Yu Yizhou stroked his beard: "Send them all in!"

Suyin waited for an hour in the concierge of the outer study, and then she saw Yu Yizhou coming out to see off the guests, she hurriedly reminded the boy: "Take me to see the master!"

The servant made a few jokes, was hammered on the head by Su Yin a few times, and then went to report.

Yu Yizhou got more than a dozen beautiful girls, and he was in a good mood. He didn't plan to see Mrs. Zhuang, but he still went to the main room in the inner courtyard thinking of his daughter who was still grounded.

The Zhuang family dismissed the waiters, and then looked at Yu Yizhou: "Master, why don't we resign and return to Ezhou and become rich! Our Yu family is a famous family in Ezhou and owns thousands of hectares of land. Live comfortably for a lifetime!"

Yu Yizhou looked at the Zhuang family like a fool, and said after a while: "Do you think that if you lose your power, you can keep the ten thousand hectares of land? Only if we successfully tie Lin Jia to our warship can we keep Yu's hundred years old forever." Wealthy!"

Yu's voice trembled: "Master, what if Lin Jia refuses?"

Yu Yizhou laughed and said, "He has only two choices: one, I will be tied to Yu's warship; two, he will be replaced as the heir to the throne! Although Your Majesty has no heirs, the kings of the counties have countless children." Heir, if you find one at random, you can replace Lin Jia!"

His eyes were full of pride: "What the Great Zhou Dynasty needs is not a Mingjun, but a puppet, the puppet of civil servants! Lin Jia, a general, wants to control civil servants, don't even think about it!"

Yu Shi was originally full of anxiety, but when her husband said this, she immediately became more confident, and hurriedly said: "Mingyue and Lin Jia's marriage, has your Majesty not let go?"

Yu Yizhou shook his head, and said: "Your Majesty still said that we have to wait for three years, until the tree shade brat grows up!"

He frowned and looked at Zhuang Shi: "Didn't you say you wanted to kill that brat? Why didn't you succeed?"

Zhuang's eyes lowered: "Master, how can it be so easy..."

Yu Yizhou sneered, and looked at Zhuang Shi: "Then why is it so easy for you to kill my pets?"

Zhuang was caught off guard, his face was pale, and his lips trembled: "Master, what are you talking about!"

Yu Yizhou didn't say any more, and left in a huff.

Sitting there quietly, Mrs. Zhuang suddenly felt chills all over her body.

There was a wind outside, and the wind whined, as if the ghosts of the little girls killed by her were weeping...

It's October and it's time to prepare your winter clothes.

After Yuzhi explained, all the needleworkers in the Lin Mansion started to prepare winter clothes for everyone in the mansion.

There are also a few embroiderers who specially make clothes for the master. Most of Lin Jia and Yu Zhi's clothes are from them.

It's just that Yuzhi always loves beauty, so Li Rui invited someone from Chunyilou, the most famous tailor's shop in Beijing, to come over and tailor some clothes for Yuzhi.

It started to rain early in the morning, and even Lin Jia went to court by car.

Amidst the pattering rain, Yu Zhi hugged Lin Yin and walked back and forth on the corridor, talking softly to Lin Yin while walking: "Ayin, it is late autumn and winter is coming soon, look, the leaves of those flowers and trees Is it not as green as when you were born?"

Lin Yin waited for Hei Lingling's eyes, and babbled back to her mother.

Han Lin smiled and said: "Auntie, the young master is so young, how could he understand it!"

Yuzhi looked at Lin Yin's beautiful and clear phoenix eyes with a smile: "My Ah Yin can understand, right? Mother will recite Du Fu's "The Thatched House is Broken by the Autumn Wind" for you, okay?"

Lin Yin stretched out his hand to touch Yuzhi's face, yelling "ahh".

Yuzhi looked at her son with sparkling eyes, and couldn't help but ask the female doctor Jin: "Why is Ah Yin's voice so hoarse?"

Aren't children's voices clear and bright?
Jin female doctor hurriedly said: "Auntie, Mr. Liu has already seen it, and said that the vocal cords of the young master are born like this..."

Yu Zhi hugged Lin Yin tightly: "A Yin, it's okay, no one is perfect? ​​You are so beautiful and smart, it's okay if your voice is hoarse!"

Lin Yin seemed to understand, and put her small face on Yu Zhi's face, rubbing it lightly.

Yuzhi's heart melted into honey, so sweet that it flew up.

At this moment, someone came over with an oiled paper umbrella, and it was Li Fanxing.

Li Fanxing put the umbrella aside, bowed his hands and saluted: "Auntie, the seamstresses from Chunyi Building are here!"

Yu Zhi said with a smile: "You bring them in!"

Li Fanxing answered "yes", picked up the umbrella and opened it, took a few steps back, then turned and left.

Yuzhi embraced the shade of the tree, watching Li Fanxing walking farther and farther in the rain, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.

Doctor Jin sighed at the side: "Li Fanxing is such a handsome child, if he hadn't been purified, he would have grown up to be a handsome young man... Sigh!"

Ye Ling asked curiously: "Auntie, why are there eunuchs?"

Yuzhi glanced at Han Lin, and said warmly: "Han Lin, tell me!"

Han Lin came out of the palace, so she knew it very clearly. She seemed to recall the past, her eyes were already moist.

After hearing Yuzhi's words, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "The heavy work in the palace needs someone to do it, and there are so many empresses in the palace, so it's inconvenient, so I need a eunuch who has passed away..."

She has always been strong and has never shed tears in front of others. At this moment, thinking of the past, her heart was touched and she shed tears.

Everyone felt a little anxious, and the scene suddenly fell silent, even the shade of the forest did not make a sound.

Yuzhi looked at the wet bamboo forest in the rain ahead, and said softly: "When there are no more empresses in the palace, don't we not need so many people to become eunuchs? It will get better in the future!"

Han Lin looked at Yuzhi with gratitude in his eyes.

Afraid that Yuzhi would be tired, she stepped forward to take Lin Yin and hugged her in her arms.

Yuzhi counted the time and said, "The seamstress from Chunyi Building is coming soon, let's go back to the room!"
