Queen's Development

Chapter 65 Cherry
After Yuzhi made the tea, she picked up the bisque teapot and poured the liquid tea into the bisque teacups.

Hearing He Lianshan's words, she paused with the hand holding the teapot, and continued to pour tea after a while.

Lin Jia and the others all looked at He Lianshan, waiting for He Lianshan's next words.

He Lianshan's expression was solemn: "Last night, old man Xu brought that weird-talking young man in white again. In addition to giving me 30 taels of silver, I also gave me an old mountain ginseng!"

He bent down and picked up a bundle from the small table at hand, and opened it for everyone to see.

When everyone looked at it, they found that there was a bag of silver and an inconspicuous ebony box in the baggage.

He Lianshan put the bag of silver aside, picked up the ebony box, pressed the message for everyone to see, and then presented it to Lin Jia: "Lord Lin, look, they even gave me an old ginseng !"

Lin Jia took out the old wild ginseng from the ebony box, examined it carefully, and said, "Although this looks like old wild ginseng, it is authentic Korean ginseng!"

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, especially Yuzhi, whose eyes were round and round, waiting for his explanation, Lin Jia couldn't help but smiled and said: "The old ginseng of the Song Dynasty is produced in Liaozhou, but the old ginseng of Liaozhou is produced in Liaozhou. Wild ginseng is thin and small, with long fibrous roots and many fibrous roots; while Korean ginseng has a straight and single main root with few forks, so it is called "Biezhi ginseng". This ginseng has few fibrous roots and straight main roots, which is obviously Korean ginseng!"

Everyone laughed.

Yang Xin said: "Master Lin is the most knowledgeable!"

Lin Jia looked at Yuzhi, and found that Yuzhi was still looking at him, but her eyes were full of tenderness.

He lowered his head, took a sip from the cup of tea, and did not speak.

The reason why he was able to distinguish the old mountain ginseng from Liaozhou from the Korean ginseng from Korea was because he had been poisoned too many times and often used ginseng to hang himself...

After putting down the teacup, Lin Jia looked at He Lianshan: "Master Helian, please talk about that young man in white!"

He Lianshan looked at the tall and big man, but he was very meticulous. He was afraid of missing something, so he recalled and said: "That man still wore a black gauze head last night, but he changed into a moon-white brocade robe with a collar. , with powder-soled soap boots on their feet... When they came to see me, it was already very late, and the city gate was closed, so I suspected that they were living in the city. After they left, I sent a servant to follow and found They live in the Anjia Inn on Ma Xing Street!"

Lin Jia pondered for a moment and asked, "Did you promise them?"

He Lianshan hurriedly said: "Master Lin, I will follow your instructions and say that you have intervened in this case, and I have no control over it!"

Lin Jia nodded, and Xiuchang's eyes narrowed: "If you agree to withdraw the case, Mrs. Xu's life may be lost..."

Yuzhi was still a little confused at first, but she understood after thinking about it: the priests served by Xujiagou's congregation first fell in love with Mrs. Xu Erniang and Jin'er's mother and daughter, and asked the Xu family to offer the mother and daughter. If he refused, he died for unknown reasons, and was said to be the disaster of the main god.

Mrs. Xu didn't know the real reason for the death of her second son Xu Lizong, so she sent her second daughter-in-law Xu Erniangzi and granddaughter Jin'er to Ren Yazi for consignment.

Then the priest fell in love with the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family, Zeng Shi. Xu Shaozong, the eldest son of the Xu family, scolded Zeng in public in order to stop Zeng Shi, but Xu Shaozong disappeared that night.The old man Xu claimed that his son was taken away by God, and he should have been killed by the Salvation Cult.

Mrs. Xu didn't know the inside story, and clamored to go to the county government to file a complaint. The old man Xu couldn't persuade her, so he had to follow her to the county government. Unexpectedly, Mr. Lin took the case.

After returning back, the old man Xu should have been warned by the Salvation Cult, so he took the priest of the Salvation Cult to find He Lianshan and asked to close the case.

After thinking it over, Yuzhi's face gradually turned pale.

The situation has developed to this point, the Salvation Church should come to see Lin Jia soon, and there will be two results: If Lin Jia agrees to close the case, the Salvation Church may let it go, or even recruit Lin Jia into the Church, using Lin Jia Jia came to expand her power; if Lin Jia refused to close the case, she might be in danger in the future...

Worried about Lin Jia in her heart, she silently picked up the biserite teapot, filled everyone's teacups, and returned it.

Hu Yingzhi glanced at Yuzhi, seeing her pale face, he couldn't help but feel worried, picked up the tea cup, and looked at Yuzhi again.

Yuzhi didn't notice Hu Yingzhi's gaze, she finished pouring tea and sat back behind the tea table.

After the crowd dispersed, Lin Jia sat there alone thinking about something.

Knowing that Lin Jia's chest was quite deep, Yuzhi made another cup of maple dew tea and sent it to Lin Jia.

Lin Jia tapped on the desk with her slender fingers, and suddenly called Ah Qing and said, "Go and ask Commander Ye to come over, I have something to discuss with Commander Ye!"

After Ah Qing left, Lin Jia leaned back on the back of the armchair and continued to think about her thoughts.

At this time, the back window of the study room was open, and a Magnolia plant was planted in the small courtyard. The Magnolia was blooming. The flowers were large and delicate, carved like white jade, exuding a strong fragrance.

The fragrance of magnolia flowers enters the study room through the window, and the fragrance of flowers and tea is mixed together, which is very elegant and interesting.

Afraid of disturbing Lin Jia's thoughts, Yu Zhi sat there, looked up at the Magnolia that was poking out the window, and thought about what Lin Jia would do as the county magistrate if all the villages in Zhao County were infiltrated by the Salvation Cult.

The former county magistrate pretended not to know, handed in his seal and left after the term of office; would Lin Jia do the same?
Yuzhi thinks that Lin Jia won't.

Although Lin Jia is weak and beautiful, she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, with a strong and proud character.

Not long after, Ye Chunshan came over.

He was still training in the school field opposite the county government office, and when he learned that Lin Jia was looking for him, he hurriedly followed Ah Qing over. He was only wearing a thin green cloth suit, and the shape of his muscles could be clearly discerned under the material.

Yu Zhi had never seen such a masculine man before, so she couldn't help but take another look.

Lin Jia noticed that Yuzhi was looking at Ye Chunshan, and couldn't help feeling sour—he had also envied Ye Chunshan's strong and powerful muscles before, but now even Yuzhi looked at Ye Chunshan more, and he felt very uncomfortable!
Yuzhi got up and poured a cup of Maojian for Ye Chunshan.

Knowing Yuzhi's identity, Ye Chunshan sat there with his eyes on his nose, his nose, his nose and his heart, without looking at Yuzhi.

Lin Jia raised her hand to her nose, coughed lightly, and said, "Yuzhi, go back to the inner house and have a look, I'll use it for lunch!"

Yuzhi answered "yes" and stepped back.

Mrs. Xu Er was taking Jin'er to sow mint seeds in the flower garden under the corridor, when she saw Yuzhi coming in, she hurriedly got up and said hello.

Yuzhi walked over with a smile, took the ladle from Jin'er, scooped water and poured it on the place where Mrs. Xu had planted the seeds.

Mrs. Xu Er's pretty face was blushed by the sun, she was in good spirits, squatting there to sow seeds, and said: "Now it takes only a month for these flower beds to be full of tender green mint seedlings. Mint grows when the wind blows, and in summer, it will be lush and lush, and it can also repel mosquitoes..."

Yuzhi and Mrs. Xu were chatting while working, and they brought the topic to Salvationism without any trace. They pretended to ask Mrs. Xu casually: "Our Zhao County is across the sea from Koryo. I heard that the city is There are so many Koreans!"

Mrs. Xu said "hmm" and said, "At first glance, the Koreans are just like us, and you can't tell them apart at all, but when you speak, you can still tell that they are weird!"

Yuzhi smiled and said, "I haven't seen a Korean, I don't know what a Korean looks like!"

A look of disgust appeared on Mrs. Xu's face: "Small eyes, single eyelids, and a face with Chinese characters, anyway, it's not as good-looking as the people in Zhaoxian County!"

Yuzhi scooped up another ladle of water and poured it down, and said with a smile, "I heard that the Salvation Cult has sent priests to every village, and above the priests there are Dharma protectors, and above the Dharma protectors are minor gods, and there are also great gods, above the great gods And the Lord God, have you seen the priest of the Salvation Cult?"

Mrs. Xu was silent for a moment, then said: "I have seen a Dharma protector of the Salvation Cult, he is in charge of all the priests of the Salvation Cult in Zhao County..."

Speaking of which, she seemed to think of something, and suddenly retched.

Yuzhi was startled, and hurriedly got up to caress Second Lady Xu's back.

Second Lady Xu bowed her head and refused to say any more.

After arranging lunch, Yuzhi didn't see any tea, so she went back to her room to look for tea.

According to the division of labor among the people in the inner house, Mrs. Xu and Jin'er were in charge of cooking and doing laundry, Yuzhi was in charge of personal service, and Qingcha was in charge of boiling water and tea.

Now Mrs. Xu, Jin'er, and Yuzhi are performing their duties, but Qingcha is nowhere to be seen.

Yuzhi entered the north dark room of the west wing, and saw Qingcha sitting cross-legged on the couch in front of the window, lying on the small kang table with her hands resting on her stomach, with a smile on her face, she didn't even know she came in.

She sighed inwardly, picked up the barnacle and poured a cup of cold boiled water to drink, then sat down next to Qingcha and asked, "Qingcha, do you really like Wang Qingyu?"

Qing Cha nodded vigorously and smiled sweetly.

Yuzhi stared into her eyes: "Does Wang Qingyu like you?"

Qingcha didn't speak, but her instantly reddened face and watery eyes betrayed her.

Yuzhi understood everything now, and said softly: "Take an opportunity to test Wang Qingyu, if he wants to, let him come to see the lord, the lord has already promised me, I don't want your money!"

Qingcha was overjoyed, and immediately rushed over and hugged Yuzhi: "Yuzhi, I like you so much! I like you so much! Big brother Wang has been on leave for the past few days to run some errands. When he comes back, I will talk to him about getting married! "

Yuzhi was held in Qingcha's arms, and she hugged Qingcha with her backhand. Her heart was full of helplessness for "the female college is not allowed to stay", and she began to think about how to get some dowry for Qingcha.

Last time female doctor Ma came over and gave her five small silver coins, a total of five taels of silver, plus her previous savings, Yuzhi now has savings of about 12 taels of silver.

She is going to give Qingcha ten taels of silver, and then make two new quilts for Qingcha...

After Yuzhi left, Lin Jia told Ye Chunshan the whole story about the Salvation Cult. While he was talking, he observed Ye Chunshan's expression and saw the surprised expression on Ye Chunshan's face, and said: "Commander Ye, I have sent someone to I went to investigate secretly. Except for the [-] villages around Yangshan Mountain in Zhaoxian County, because of the banditry in the past few years, the Salvation Sect has not had time to preach. All the other villages have priests of the Salvation Sect. I have sent Ah Cheng and A Chi I went to Qixia County and Yi County, which are adjacent to Zhao County, to investigate, but they haven’t returned yet, and I don’t know if the activities of the Salvation Church in Qixia County and Yi County are rampant.”

Ye Chunshan frowned, and said: "This is a big matter, don't worry, my lord, I will immediately report this matter to His Majesty in secret."

Lin Jia nodded, lowered her eyes and said nothing.

It seemed that his judgment was correct, Ye Chunshan appeared to be his father's man, but in fact he was a confidant of Emperor Yongtai who was able to directly submit secret documents to Emperor Yongtai.

A few days later, Ah Lan went out to buy ingredients, and brought back a basket of early-ripe cherries for Yuzhi.

Yuzhi washed some cherries, sent a plate to Jin'er, and brought the other back to the North Dark Room where she and Qingcha lived.

Qing Cha was embroidering with an embroidery frame, when she saw Yu Zhi coming in with a plate of bright red cherries, her saliva was about to flow out, and she hurriedly said, "Yu Zhi, feed me one!"

Yu Zhi ate one from the green tea, and she took a bite of one herself, who knew that her teeth were so sour that she almost fell out, and quickly spat it out: "This cherry looks very red, why is it so sour!"

The green tea was not too sour, and he ate up a plate of cherries in a short while, and said, "Yuzhi, these cherries are so delicious, I want to eat something sour these days, is there any more?" If so, wash the dishes for me!"

Yuzhi felt something was wrong, so she silently went to wash the cherries.

She washed a plate of cherries and brought them over, and picked another one to taste, but it still made her teeth sour.

After Yuzhi handed the cherries to Qingcha, she suddenly asked, "Qingcha, have you sent a monthly letter this month?"
