Queen's Development

Chapter 42
Lin Jia lowered her eyes, and said slowly, "Jasper comb? I saw one a few days ago and left it there. I'll get it!"

After finishing speaking, he Shi Shiran got up, walked to the clothes hanger, and quickly took Yuzhi's jasper to comb over.

Yuzhi took the jasper comb, and said happily: "Thank you very much! Although this jasper comb is not worth much, I have always liked it very much. After losing it, I feel empty."

While she was talking, she quietly glanced at Lin Jia who was lying on the brocade couch again, and said in her heart: I clearly remember that I lost the jasper comb on the Arhat bed outside, could it be that the young master hid my comb?

But after thinking about it, she felt that she was a little self-indulgent, so she stopped thinking about it and started to scrape Lin Jia.

Yuzhi first lifted Lin Jia's jacket, revealing Lin Jia's back.

Lin Jia is very thin, and the outline of the shoulder blades on the back is obvious, which makes people feel distressed.

Yuzhi rubbed her hands, first applied a layer of peppermint oil evenly on Lin Jia's back, and then began to scrape slowly with the back of the jasper comb.

Seeing that Lin Jia's skin was as fine and white as jade, she didn't dare to use too much force. After shaving for a while, she wiped it off with a silk handkerchief, and said with a smile, "My lord, how do you feel? Are you comfortable?"

Lin Jia lay on the brocade couch, feeling very comfortable, so she let out a soft "hmm".

Lin Jia usually suffers from insomnia, but today she fell asleep shortly after lying down.

It was windy by the sea, and the wind blew up again at night. The wind was whistling, shaking the windows and making a "bang bang bang bang" sound.

Yuzhi was vigilant, and for fear of waking Lin Jia up, she hurriedly sat up, pulled down the inner window, and put in the latch.

The wind was shut out all of a sudden, and the room seemed to be much quieter. Lin Jia's even breathing on the Babu bed not far away could be heard clearly.

In such quietness and warmth, Yuzhi soon fell asleep too.

Lin Jia called He Lianshan and Yang Xin to come over today, and after the three discussed it carefully, they ordered Hu Yingzhi to come over and talked about raising money to repair the county school.

As the only recruiter in Zhao County in the past few years, Hu Yingzhi naturally understood the importance of educating Zhao County, so he strongly agreed with Lin Jia's idea of ​​raising money to repair the county school.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, county magistrate Lin Jia came forward, accompanied by county Wei He Lianshan, county magistrate Hu Yingzhi, and Confucian teacher Yang Xin, and held a banquet in the county yamen room for all the squires of Zhao County.

Lin Jiayan, who has always been taciturn, laughed at Yan Yan and mingled with the squires. With the cooperation of county captain He Lianshan, county magistrate Hu Yingzhi and Confucian teacher Yang Xin, he finally raised 2 taels of silver.

Lin Jia handed over the money to He Lianshan, let He Lianshan take care of the money, and asked Yang Xin to be responsible for repairing the county school - he valued Yang Xin quite a lot, and wanted to see Yang Xin's ability through this matter!
Back home that night, Hu Yingzhi was a little silent.

He had always thought that a nobleman like Lin Jia came to Zhao County just to coat himself with gold so that he could accumulate experience and climb up the ladder, but he didn't expect that Lin Jia actually came to do something.

Hu Qingchi secretly went to Yanzhi Lane to eat flowers and wine with a few friends. Originally, when he was waiting for his return, his elder brother had already fallen asleep. Unexpectedly, as soon as Hu Qingchi entered the courtyard, he saw the brightly lit main room.

Hu Yingzhi and his younger brother talked too much about the truth, but found that it was useless at all, so they gave up trying to convince others with reason and resorted to violence.

He ordered two young servants, Xiongying and Kunpeng, to tie up Hu Qingchi and hang him on the beam of the study in the east wing, and ordered Kunpeng, who was the strongest, to whip him with a whip.

Hu Qingchi had never been strong before, and he started crying for his father and mother after being whipped a few times.

Hu Yingzhi ignored everything, went straight out of the East Wing, tightened the fox fur on his body, and silently looked at the unmelted snow on the roof of the West Wing in front of him. He made up his mind again that in order to get the 1 taels of silver, he must Get rid of Lin Jia before the agreed Lantern Festival!
When he has the 1 taels of silver, he will hire a powerful younger sister-in-law for Qingchi who can manage the family, and treat Qingchi to death, so that even if he dies, he dares to close his eyes to see his parents under Jiuquan up.

This day Meng Wanru was sitting in the Xinglin Medical Center when she saw Kunpeng, the personal servant of the county magistrate Hu Yingzhi, walking in.

She greeted with a smile: "Kunpeng, do you want to buy some tonic for Lord Hu today?"

Kunpeng smiled and said, "Miss Meng, my lord asked me to ask, is there any Cordyceps in the medical center?"

Meng Wanru smiled and glanced at Kunpeng: "What does Lord Hu want for this?"

Kunpeng whispered mysteriously: "I heard that the county magistrate has not married a wife yet, and there is no one to take care of the housework at home. I want to find a concubine who is sensible and able to take care of the family. The magistrate is a little weak, and we adults want to send some caterpillar fungus... ..."

Meng Wanru's smile became even brighter: "Of course there is. I'll get it for you as much as you want!"

It turned out that the magistrate wanted to find a concubine. She knew that she was not beautiful enough. Although she was beautiful, she had no chance to be known by the magistrate, so she had to find another way.

In the evening of the second day, the clouds were thick and the wind was blowing again. It seemed that it was going to snow again.

Tomorrow is the 23rd year of the twelfth lunar month.

According to the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, a dustpan of meat and vegetable pies is made and left until the New Year’s Eve.

Yuzhi was making various meat and vegetable pies with Mrs. Xu and Qingcha in the small kitchen when she suddenly heard Achi's voice from outside: "Yuzhi, Miss Meng is here to see you!"

Yuzhi was taken aback when she heard the words, and thought: When did Miss Meng get so close to me?
She washed her hands with soap, took off the turban covering her head, and untied her apron before going out.

Meng Wanru was standing at the door of the duty room in the inner courtyard talking to Achi. In the cold weather, she didn't wear a hat, she wore a delicate peach heart bun, and her hair was full of pearls and emeralds. She was only wearing a brand new water red embroidered A red lotus jacket with sleeves, and a moon white satin skirt tied underneath, her face was blue from the cold, her nose was red from the cold, she was dressed in pink, white and dark green, and she was carrying a bundle in her hand.

Yu Zhi hurriedly greeted her with a smile: "Miss Meng is here, please come inside!"

While exchanging greetings with Meng Wanru, she inquired about the reason for Meng Wanru's visit - if Meng Wanru came to look for Lin Jia, she would let her sit in the open room of the main room; if Meng Wanru came to look for her, she would let her sit in the open room of the west wing with.

Meng Wanru was afraid that Yuzhi would lead her to the house where her slaves lived, which would lose her identity and be detrimental to her plan, so she held Shu Yuzhi's hand and smiled brightly: "My father made some new ones. Medicinal wine, used to rub the knees in winter, has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, thinking that the magistrate came to Zhao County for the first time, and he was afraid that he would not be able to adapt to the wet and cold winter in Zhao County, so he sent it here!"

She also specially chose today's weather, which is about to snow, and the evening when the magistrate is about to return to the inner house, and she specially wore such thin clothes, just to wait for the magistrate to smell the fragrant medicine and fall in love, and then feel sorry for the fragrance , maybe things will be done!

Yuzhi smiled and did not speak, and led Meng Wanru into the bright room, placed her on an armchair and sat down, standing there by herself to accompany Meng Wanru, but let Qingcha serve tea and water.

After Meng Wanru drank three cups of tea in a row, she looked at Yu Zhi who was standing there with her, and quietly touched the jade box of fragrant medicine hidden in her sleeve pocket, and she began to feel anxious.

At this moment, there was a sound of boots outside, and then the thick brocade curtain hanging on the Mingjian door was lifted from the outside, and Lin Jia, who was wearing an official uniform and an official hat, walked in.

As soon as Lin Jia came in, she first glanced at Meng Wanru, and then at Yuzhi.

Just as Yuzhi was about to introduce, Meng Wanru had already got up, Pingping walked up to Lin Jia, bowed her knees and saluted: "I have seen the magistrate!"

Lin Jia nodded, Quan Zuo said hello, and walked into the bedroom.

Yuzhi couldn't decide for a while, whether she should stay here with Meng Wanru, or go to the bedroom to wait for Lin Jia to take off her coat, while he was hesitating, Lin Jia's clear voice came from the bedroom: "Yuzhi, are you still coming in?"

Now Yuzhi didn't have to struggle anymore, she quickly smiled at Meng Wanru and said, "Miss Meng, wait a moment!"

After all, she hurried into the bedroom.

When helping Lin Jia take off her official uniform, Yuzhi told Meng Wanru why she came.

After hearing this, Lin Jia frowned slightly and said, "Isn't she in Gynecology and Pediatrics? Why come to deliver me medicine? Why not just send a medicine boy!"

Hearing this, Yuzhi hugged the official uniform that Lin Jia had taken off, and looked at Lin Jia with a smile.

Lin Jia suddenly understood, Jun's face flushed, and he thought: Damn, I look so like a piece of hungry fat?I'm only 16 years old!

He changed into casual clothes, walked out with Yuzhi, and sat down on the Arhat bed, because he wanted to save face for Dr. Meng, so he didn't drive Meng Wanru away, but planned to leave Meng Wanru indifferently.

Meng Wanru sat indifferently for a while, and saw that the county magistrate was sitting there drinking tea by himself, neither talking about keeping guests nor talking to herself, so she calmed down and admired the handsome side face of the magistrate for a while, Then he smiled and ordered Yuzhi who was standing in the way: "Yuzhi, I'm a little thirsty and want some tea, go and order me a golden orange tea with candied fruit!"

She had concluded that the water-boiling maid named Qingcha outside could only make tea and not order tea, so she spent Yuzhi like this.

Yuzhi glanced at Lin Jia, saw that he was silent, so she answered "yes" and retreated.

As soon as the thick brocade curtain on the door of the Ming Room fell, Meng Wanru quietly opened the jade box hidden in her sleeve pocket, letting out the smell of fragrant medicine inside.

She has already done experiments on dogs. The male dog in estrus, which is only six months old and less than one year old, immediately started to estrus after smelling the scent of this fragrant medicine. Since there was no female dog in front of her, she turned to her. The legs rubbed together.

It can be seen from this that the fragrant medicine given by Mr. Hu is very powerful and worthy of use.

After getting ready, Meng Wanru got up and approached the Arhat's bed, and said charmingly: "My lord, I have something to report to you. This matter is extremely confidential..."

While talking, she approached Lin Jia.

As Meng Wanru approached, Lin Jia smelled a sweet fragrance, as if he had smelled it somewhere before, and he couldn't help frowning.
