Queen's Development

Chapter 56 Secret Letter
Hearing this, Yuzhi rolled her clear eyes on Qingcha's face, and then smiled: "Qingcha, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Qingcha couldn't hide anything in her heart, so she immediately asked: "Yuzhi, what did that father-in-law say to our young master?"

Looking into Qingcha's eyes, Yuzhi always felt that Qingcha was a little strange today, so she smiled and said, "How do I know!"

She felt that Qing Cha was too strange today.

Yuzhi picked up a cup of warm tea, handed it to Qingcha, pretended to be nonchalant, and said with a smile, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

Qing Cha took a sip of the teacup and said, "Brother Wang asked me. A few days ago he was on duty at the east side gate. When he saw this old man coming in, he was a little curious, so he asked me casually. He was afraid that you would Think, don't let me tell you!"

After hearing this, Yuzhi also poured a cup of tea and sipped it slowly, saying, "I didn't think much about it! At that time, Ah Qing and I were standing on the porch, how do we know what the young master and the others were talking about?"

Qing Cha raised his head, drank the warm tea in the teacup, and hurriedly said, "I'm going to tell Brother Wang!"

She didn't care that the snow was melting outside and was wet, so she hurried out the door and jumped down the steps.

Yuzhi stretched out her hand to pull her, but Qingcha left in such a hurry that Yuzhi didn't hold back at all.

She wanted to call Qingcha, but on second thought, she just watched Qingcha run away with her skirt in her hands—Wang Qingyu is really a bit strange, it's okay to let Qingcha try it out.

The tea didn't come back until the evening.

Seeing that her face was flushed, her eyes were watery, and her lips were abnormally red, Yuzhi asked, "Qingcha, why did you go there for so long?"

Qingcha's face turned red immediately, she lowered her eyes and murmured: "Brother Wang took me out and ate something..."

Yu Zhi suddenly came close to her and smelled it, and said with a smile, "You guys ate shrimp wontons, and you also ate meat buns, right?"

The green tea has the smell of shrimp wontons and the smell of roujiamo.

Qingcha suspiciously raised his arms and sniffed, and smelled the smell of his body faintly, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm a little cold, so Brother Wang took me to the Baijia Wonton Shop in Biyu Lane to eat a bowl of wontons, who knew you It's a dog's nose, it can smell everything!"

Yuzhi smiled.

Looking at Qingcha's slightly swollen lips, she always felt that it was not that simple, so she put her arms around Qingcha and said in a low voice: "Qingcha, no matter how good you and Brother Wang are, I have a sentence that you must remember!"

Seeing Yuzhi's seriousness, Qingcha hurriedly raised her eyes and looked over, seeing that there was no smile on Yuzhi's face, her dark eyes seemed to be looking into the depths of her heart, she didn't dare to look at Yuzhi, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up!" Speak, I'm listening!"

Yu Zhi said slowly: "You and Brother Wang are good friends, but there are some intimate matters, so don't do them casually."

She held the tea tightly, and said in a low voice, "If you do something you regret, men can get away easily, but women can't. Therefore, you need to learn to protect yourself."

Qingcha's face was hot, and she hurriedly said, "I know!"

She broke away from Yuzhi and ran away.

The next morning, Yuzhi got up and found something seemed to be falling on the ground against the wall. She went to look and found that it was a branch of red plum blossom with a roll of paper attached to it by red silk thread.

She untied the silk thread, took off the roll of paper and unfolded it, and found that the words on the paper were extremely delicate - "At noon on the 25th of the first lunar month, we will meet on the Guanyin Bridge".

The signature is "Ma female doctor".

Yuzhi got up slowly - tomorrow is the 25th of the first lunar month!
After waiting for so long, female doctor Ma still came.

She felt a little cold, so she folded the roll of paper and stuffed it into her sleeve pocket, then slowly walked towards the main room holding the plum blossom.

Yuzhi has always been very assertive, but at this moment she was also a little confused, thinking: If the young master is here, it would be great!

Lin Jia was weak and delicate, but no matter what happened to him, he was always calm and always had a solution.

Unknowingly, Yuzhi has regarded Lin Jia as her backbone.

At this time, Lin Jia was standing quietly at the foot of the southern foot of Yangshan Mountain in the north of the city, wrapped in a thick sapphire blue satin black fox cloak, looking up at the snow-covered Yangshan Mountain.

He Lianshan and Yang Xin stood there with him.

Alan stood aside.

At this moment, there was a sound of "squeaks" from boots stepping on the snow, and Ye Chunshan in armor strode over and said with a smile: "Sir, shall we continue to surround them? It's been two days and two nights!"

Lin Jia flinched a little bit coldly, wrapped the cloak around her body tightly, and said in a clear voice, like the aftertaste of broken jade: "They are all vicious and vicious, if they attack hard, our soldiers will also be damaged. We have a lot of people anyway, so we might as well surround them comfortably in shifts; we have wine, meat, tents, and braziers, and they have nothing but gold and silver that they can’t eat or drink!”

There was a faint smile on his handsome face: "When they are hungry and weak, we can charge up, or force them down directly!"

Ye Chunshan nodded with a smile: "My lord's opinion!"

He Lianshan chewed a piece of jade-white thatch root in his mouth, and said: "These people are too ruthless, they even robbed three villages, and even killed people to force the people to hand over their gold and silver!"

Lin Jia took a step forward and said softly, "So, let's not make it easy for them!"

There are many mountains in the east and north of Zhao County, and there are bandits in the mountains from time to time, and the common people are harassed by them. He must wipe out these bandits before transferring them away.

Yang Xin, who was squinting his eyes and watching intently, suddenly said: "Master Lin, these bandits are not only numerous, but also brave in battle and well-informed. Every time the officers and soldiers attack, they are either missed or ambushed. Thanks to the Lord's blocking of news, They are using the troops brought by Master Ye from Qingzhou, otherwise we might have to rush to nothing!"

Lin Jiaqing smiled slightly: "What's so strange about this? There are traitors in our county government, and these bandits are naturally well-informed!"

Ye Chunshan said: "After we wipe out the bandits this time, we will go and investigate the traitors!"

He looked at Lin Jia, saw that Lin Jia was looking at her delicately, looking too thin, and immediately remembered Eunuch Ding's explanation, and said, "My lord, the chicken soup has been stewed, you go ahead and use something. Just mark it and stay outside!"

This time Yang Xin was in charge of the logistics. He himself loved chicken, so he bought countless chickens from the common people, and asked the cook to clean them up and stew them in a big pot. The soldiers ate chicken and drank chicken soup, which was also warm.

Lin Jia really felt uncomfortably cold all over at this time, so she didn't give in immediately, and took Yang Xin and He Lianshan into the main tent.

Two days later, Lin Jia had led people to surround these bandits in Yangshan for four days.

It was late at night, and there were several large pots outside the camp of the soldiers at the foot of the mountain. Chicken was gurgling and stewed in the pots, and the rich aroma rose from the foot of the mountain.

Lin Jia drank a bowl of chicken soup and ate half of Lahufu's steamed buns. She felt warm all over, so she told A Lan to call Ye Chunshan and He Lianshan, who were patrolling outside, to come over.

As soon as Ye Chunshan came in, Lin Jia asked, "Master Ye, has the hole I told you to leave already been made?"

Ye Chunshan cupped his fists and smiled: "My lord, how dare you disobey my orders? I left them in the afternoon! The sheep surrounded the mountain like an iron barrel, and only left a hole in the west. They had to rush out from the west." !"

Lin Jia looked at Helian Shan: "Master Helian, how is the pit digging going?"

He Lianshan smiled slightly: "My lord, according to your instructions, the pit was dug last night. It is deep and wide, with steep walls, and it is as deep as three people!"

Lin Jia smiled slightly. There was a brazier in the tent, and the faint light of the fire in the brazier reflected on Lin Jia's face, showing his handsomeness and youth even more: "When the soldiers finish eating the chicken noodle soup, they will be warmed up." That's right, let's start to catch the turtle in the urn!"

Those bandits were so hungry that their feet were limp, and smelling the delicious chicken soup, wouldn't they rush down?
Sure enough, not long after, the bandits who hadn't eaten or drank for four days and nights on the mountain, lured by the open-air chicken soup cauldron, finally launched a charge at midnight, but were blocked by the capable soldiers brought by Ye Chunshan, and their rear was also blocked by the soldiers. He Lianshan led people to cut it off, and finally they were all driven to the opening left in the west, and basically fell into the pit dug by He Lianshan's people!
Lin Jia had already ordered the cook to prepare several large pots of meat in sauce and baked countless dough cakes. A soldier sent out four dough cakes with sauce meat, plus a bowl of thin chicken soup noodles. After that, continue to search the mountains, and make sure not to leave a fish that slips through the net.

The night was getting darker.

Qingcha has fallen asleep on the bed.

Yuzhi was lying on the couch in front of the window, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

She simply got up, put on the embroidered jacket, sat by the window, took out the roll of paper and looked at the candlestick.

The handwriting is beautiful, similar to the handwriting of the first letter she received when she came to Zhao County.

Yuzhi looked at and raised her eyes to the plum blossoms on the window sill——the branch of red plum blossoms tied with this letter was found in a small white porcelain vase by her, and now it was placed on the window sill.

Staring at the red plum blossom, Yuzhi remembered that after entering the east gate of the county government office, a little further north, there seemed to be a red plum, which seemed to be blooming now—could this red plum come from the red plum? Folded off the plum?

She was contemplating when she suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes coming from outside, followed by a neighing of horses.

Yuzhi's heart moved, she immediately got off the couch, before she had time to tidy herself up, she casually took the white silk skirt and tied it up, put on her embroidered shoes and went out.

After running down the corridor, Yuzhi realized that she forgot to comb her hair, so she raised her hand to stroke her bun and straightened her bangs.

The gate opened, and a tall young man in a royal blue mysterious cloak walked around the screen wall and entered the yard.

There were two wind-dead lanterns hanging under the corridor of the wing room, emitting a cool light in the cold night, and the young man saw Yuzhi standing on the corridor at a glance.

As soon as he saw Yuzhi, the young man stopped abruptly, and stood there looking at Yuzhi standing in the corridor, his eyes full of surprise: "Yuzhi, you haven't slept yet?"

Yuzhi's heart was beating very fast, and while looking at Lin Jia, she bowed her knees and saluted, and said with a smile: "This servant is the servant girl of the lord, the lord went out silently for five days and five nights, and finally came back, the servant girl How can you not come forward to serve?"

Lin Jia went out for five days, but she didn't seem to lose weight, and her complexion was not bad.

Lin Jia heard the complaint in Yuzhi's words, but felt sweet in her heart——Yuzhi cares about me!

He raised his eyes to look at Yu Zhi, with a hint of grievance in his voice: "Yu Zhi, I'm hungry!"

Yuzhi was most afraid that Lin Jia would be hungry, so she hurriedly asked, "Is there anything you really want to eat?"

Lin Jia smiled slightly: "As long as it's not chicken or chicken soup, anything is fine!"

In the past few days in Yangshan to suppress bandits, he drank chicken soup every day, and he almost vomited!
Yuzhi walked over with a smile, and said, "There is beef soup in the small kitchen, I'll go and heat up a bowl of beef soup for you!"

Lin Jia's eyes followed Yuzhi all the time, after hearing her words, she immediately said without thinking: "Let's go back to the room first and then talk!"

Hearing that Yuzhi no longer called herself "servant" and called him "adult", he knew that he had successfully diverted Yuzhi's attention temporarily, and he was not in a hurry to eat supper.

I haven't seen her for five days, Yuzhi has been worried for five whole days, but now she is happy when she sees Lin Jia, and immediately follows Lin Jia to the main room.
