Queen's Development

Chapter 55 Weird
Seeing Lin Jia's solemn expression, even a little nervous, Yuzhi didn't say much, and quickly found a set of half-new jade-colored robes, waited for Lin Jia to change them, and neatly combed Lin Jia's hair and put them on Yuguan, send Lin Jia to the bathroom to wash up.

Not long after, Lin Jia came out, again a beautiful young man in troubled times, only slightly thinner.

Yuzhi goes out with Lin Jia.

Ye Chunshan was sitting with a short, fat eunuch in his 30s with a kind face. Seeing Lin Jia coming out, they all stood up, cupped their hands and said, "I've seen the second son!"

Lin Jia smiled slightly, returned the gift, exchanged some pleasantries, and divided the guests and sat down.

Yuzhi went to the Nuan Pavilion on the outside porch, brewed a pot of Shangjia Maojian and sent it in, then retreated, and waited on the outside porch with Aqing and Achi.

It is still the first month of the month, and there is still a thick curtain hanging on the door in Mingjian.

Across a door curtain, the people in the room deliberately lowered their volume when speaking, so the sound could hardly be heard outside.

It's just that Yuzhi's hearing is very good, so she still heard that Eunuch Ding first said "Your Majesty ordered our family to visit you princes", and then said "govern Zhao County well" and "political achievements", and then talked about Go to "Qingzhou" and "go to Beijing at the end of the year".

Within half an hour, Lin Jia and Ye Chunshan sent that Eunuch Ding out together.

Eunuch Ding wore a navy blue cloak and a hood, half-hidden his face, and went out with Lin Jia and Ye Chunshan.

Yuzhi and Aqing and Achi hurriedly bowed their heads in salute.

Lin Jia went out and didn't come back for a whole day.

Although Yuzhi was worried, she also knew that Eunuch Ding looked like a great eunuch in the palace. He must have something very important to see Lin Jia, so he ignored it and went about his own business in peace. Read some books and do some sewing when you are free.

After dinner, there was a lot of free time, so Yuzhi, Qingcha, Second Lady Xu and Jin'er sat in the open room of the west wing, doing work and chatting.

Yuzhi took a copy of "Historical Records" and was reading, Qingcha was embroidering insoles, Mrs. Xu was sewing spring clothes for Jiner, and Jiner was learning needlework from her mother. The four of them were doing their own things, but it was peaceful very.

I don't know when, suddenly it began to rain patter outside, Yuzhi thought of Lin Jia who had disappeared, and felt quite worried, so she put down her book and got up to go out.

She stood on the porch, looking at the dense winter rain weaving obliquely, she felt an inexplicable melancholy in her heart - Lin Jia's body was so weak, and it was the first month of the lunar year, if she got wet in the rain, she might be ill again... …

At this moment, Qingcha opened the door curtain and came out, standing side by side with Yuzhi to watch the rain.

Seeing that Qingcha was holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, Yuzhi whispered, "What are you doing out now?"

Qingcha's face was a little hot, her eyes sparkled, and she said in a low voice, "Brother Wang is on duty at the east gate of the county government office tonight. I embroidered a pair of insoles for him and thought about sending them there..."

Yuzhi knew what was on her little one's mind, but she looked at the rain curtain and said softly, "It's dark outside, and it's raining again, our place is so far from the east door, we need a cup of tea or two cups of tea just to walk there It's time, you go by yourself, aren't you afraid?"

She thought that Qingcha was the most timid person, and if she scared herself, Qingcha would definitely not go there.

Who knows that Qingcha is now at the time when she is passionate about Wang Qingyu, so she has to go and see Wang Qingyu: "I'm not afraid! Besides, what danger can there be in the county government?"

Yuzhi had no choice but to say: "I'm going to ask Ah Cheng to send you there! When you come back, let Wang Qingyu find a way to send you back, don't come back by yourself!"

Qingcha smiled and bowed to Yuzhi: "Thank you, thank you! Yuzhi, you are the best!"

Yuzhi walked to the duty room inside the gate with tea, and talked to Ah Cheng who was on duty tonight.

Ah Cheng smiled and said: "Of course I am willing to do what Sister Yuzhi asked me to do; but it is so cold, if Sister Yuzhi waits for me to come back and give me a bowl of pork shredded soy pot noodles, I will be more willing!"

Yuzhi smiled and agreed.

Ah Cheng opened an umbrella and brought tea over.

Yuzhi took the "Historical Review", brought a piece of tough moonlight paper and a pair of scissors, sat in the duty room, listened to the door, and wrapped the "Historical Review" with moonlight paper. I got a book cover.

Hearing that Lin Jia said that this book was collected by the Imperial Palace, she was afraid that if someone saw her reading it, Lin Jia would be troubled.

As soon as Yuzhi wrapped the book cover, Ah Cheng came back.He put the umbrella on the side, stomped his feet and said, "It's really cold tonight!"

Yuzhi smiled and said, "Come and enjoy the fire, I'll get you down!"

Ah Cheng smiled and cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Sister Yuzhi!"

He is actually older than Yuzhi, but Ah Qing and the others are the young masters' personal servants. They all know that the young master values ​​Yuzhi, so they all call Yuzhi "Sister Yuzhi" in a friendly manner.

But Yuzhi is indeed worthy of the words "Sister Yuzhi". Although she doesn't joke with them very much, she is very friendly. Whenever she makes delicious food for the young master, she will send some to them.

Yuzhi went to the kitchen, opened the stove, and really ordered a bowl of noodles for Ah Cheng, and brought it over.

Thank you so much, Ah Cheng happily ate the noodles.

He was growing up now, although he ate a lot for dinner, he was hungry again after a while.

When Yuzhi went back, Second Lady Xu didn't like to stay up late, she had already taken Jin'er to sleep.

The tea didn't come back, but Yuzhi didn't dare to sleep, so she spread her bedding on the couch in front of the window of the bedroom, leaned against the pillow and sat under the quilt, reading a book to the candlestick.

After an unknown amount of time, her eyes were a little bit dry, so she closed the book, leaned on the pillow and closed her eyes to rest.

The original pattering rain outside seemed to have changed, as if it had become a rustling sound.

Yuzhi felt strange, so she got up and opened the window to have a look.

As soon as she opened the window, a burst of cold air poured in, and Yuzhi realized that the rain outside had turned into snow.

Tiny snow particles rustled on the ground, the courtyard outside was a vast expanse of whiteness, and even the wind lantern hanging under the corridor of the main house could not be seen clearly.

Seeing this, Yuzhi hurriedly got up and looked at the hourglass, and found that it was already midnight, and she couldn't help being surprised—the tea hasn't come back yet!
She couldn't stay any longer, hurriedly put on thick clothes, and went out quietly with an umbrella.

Ah Cheng was sitting and dozing off behind the Changmu case when she was woken up by Yuzhi.

He wiped his eyes, and quickly regained his clarity, and said, "Isn't the tea back yet?"

Yuzhi nodded and said, "I'm a little worried, you can go and have a look with me!"

Ah Cheng and Yu Zhi locked the gate, each held an umbrella, and walked eastward in the snow, stepping on the melted snow.

Yuzhi came out in such a hurry that she forgot to change into her clogs, and she was still wearing a pair of thick-soled embroidered shoes.

The uppers of the scarlet silk and satin shoes were soaked in the icy cold snow water, and Yu Zhi felt as painful as a pinprick.

But she was worried about Qingcha in her heart, so she kept silent and tried her best to endure.

Just as she was about to reach the bend from east to south, Ah Cheng heard footsteps coming from the front, and hurriedly pulled Yuzhi to signal to stop.

As soon as Yuzhi stopped, she saw a person in front of her turning around from the boulevard with an umbrella.

Ah Cheng picked up the lantern and took a photo. It really was clear tea.

Qingcha also saw Yuzhi and Acheng clearly, and was suddenly surprised and happy: "You guys came to pick me up!"

She walked quickly, ran to Yuzhi's body, and took Yuzhi's arm.

In front of Ah Cheng, Yuzhi couldn't say anything, so she said: "It's past time, go back!"

But she also wondered in her heart: Wang Qingyu did things so properly, why didn't she bring back tea?
Back in the room, Yu Zhi quickly asked Qing Cha: "Why have you been out for so long? It's been several hours!"

Qingcha's eyes were shining, and her face was blushing: "Brother Wang and I are sitting there talking!"

Yuzhi suppressed the worry in her heart, and asked again: "Then why didn't your brother Wang send you back when you come back?"

Qingcha happily said: "He was temporarily called out from the duty room at the east side door. He left too quickly and had to find someone to take his place. How could there be time to see me off!"

Yuzhi looked up at Qingcha, and asked calmly, "Who is looking for him? It's so late at night!"

Qingcha took out a small red velvet brocade bag from her sleeve pocket, loosened the golden tie, and poured out two pairs of red gold earrings from it.

Yuzhi took a look and saw a pair of red golden lotus flowers and a pair of red golden plum blossoms, both the size of mung beans, very delicate.

Qingcha put the two pairs of earrings in the palm of her hand with a smile, and stretched them out to Yuzhi like offering treasures: "Yuzhi, this is a gift from Brother Wang, you choose a pair!"

Yuzhi was full of worries, and she was not in a hurry to choose, but looked at Qingcha: "Why did Wang Qingyu buy you two pairs of earrings?"

Qingcha's eyes were full of joy: "Brother Wang told me that you are my good sister, let me give you a pair, thank you for taking care of me!"

Yuzhi always felt weird.

She smiled and said: "You know, I never wear earrings, next time you have a good one, share it with me!"

The green tea was given up several times, but seeing that Yuzhi really didn't want it, she had to take it back.

It was getting late at night, and the snow was getting heavier. Occasionally, the branches of the flowers and trees in the yard were broken by the snow, and there was a "click" sound.

Qingcha fell asleep early on the bed, snoring sweetly.

Yuzhi was lying on the couch in front of the window, tossing and turning, full of thoughts: What is the purpose of that Eunuch Ding coming to see Lin Jia?Where did he take Lin Jia?Lin Jia left without saying a word, would there be any danger...

Lin Jia thought about it for a long time, and Yuzhi thought of green tea again—she always felt that Wang Qingyu was a little weird tonight...

Waking up early the next morning, Yuzhi went out and found that the house, branches, and courtyard were all covered with thick snow, and the heavy snow was still falling.

Yuzhi went to the main room and saw that the room was empty, the bright room and bedroom were still the same as when Lin Jia left, she couldn't help but sighed quietly, feeling empty in her heart.

Two days later, Lin Jia still hasn't come back.

Yuzhi gradually became a little anxious, and every time she heard the sound of boots clattering outside the gate, she couldn't help but look up, but she was disappointed every time.

At noon this day, Qingcha went to see Wang Qingyu again.

As soon as Qingcha came back, she asked Yuzhi: "Yuzhi, did an old man from the palace come to see our young master a few days ago?"
