Queen's Development

Chapter 74 Zhang Wang
After returning to the bathroom, Lin Jia's heart was still pounding.

He froze for a moment, picked up the ladle, scooped up a ladle of warm water and rushed to his body.

After Lin Jia took a bath and got dressed, she found that the crystal shade lamp in the bedroom had been extinguished, only the light was faintly shining from the carved lattice on the Babu bed.

It was quiet on the brocade couch, Yuzhi had already fallen asleep.

Lin Jia lay down on the Babu bed.

It was still raining outside, and the raindrops hit the tiles and the green brick floor, making a "popping" sound, making this mid-spring night even more humid and quiet.

Lin Jia listened to the sound of the rain and thought of the scene just now, her face was a little hot...

Before dawn the next day, Yu Zhi got up and asked Lin Jia to get up.

According to the regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as a county magistrate, Zhao Qing had to go to the main hall of the county yamen to make an appointment at the mao hour, and only then did he participate in the court proceedings to deal with official affairs and start his day's work.

Lin Jia was dreaming, he dreamed of Yuzhi, dreamed that he was kissing Yuzhi...

In the midst of the infinite beauty, Lin Jia heard Yu Zhi's voice calling her, and woke up at the same time when she reached the peak.

He lay stiff on the bed, the aftertaste of the dream was still in his mind, and the tingling feeling was still there.

After a while, Lin Jia came to her senses, only then did she feel that her panties were wet, cold and sticky, making her very uncomfortable...

Lin Jia covered her face with her left hand.

Yuzhi thought that Lin Jia hadn't woken up, so she yelled again: "My lord, it's time to get up and go to the county government office!"

Lin Jia said in a hoarse voice: "I'm thirsty, go to the Nuan Pavilion on the corridor and make me Maojian!"

Yuzhi agreed, then turned and left.

Lin Jia heard her go out, got up quickly, took a set of clean underwear and went to the bathroom.

After Lin Jia washed up and came out of the bathroom, Yuzhi was already waiting in the bedroom with a cup of warm water.

Lin Jia took the warm boiled water and drank it all in one gulp, then put on her official uniform and a gold and jade belt under Yuzhi's service.

Yuzhi helped Lin Jia arrange the gold and jade belt, and found that Lin Jia's waist was really thin. She couldn't help but think of Lin Jia's body she saw last night, and couldn't help but think of the vulgar words she heard in the village before, such as "the horse is thin and the hair is long." "What, her face is a little hot.

She pretended to be calm, turned around and took Lin Jia's soaped gauze headdress, walked up to Lin Jia, motioned Lin Jia to bend down, and then helped Lin Jia put on the soaped gauze headdress.

After finishing all this work, Yu Zhi looked Lin Jia up and down, making sure everything was in order, and then sent Lin Jia out with a smile.

The rain has stopped, the sky and the earth are still foggy, and the air smells fresh and pleasant.

Standing on the porch, Yuzhi watched Lin Jia's tall back disappear behind the screen wall, and couldn't help but pursed her lips into a smile—she thought Lin Jia was really a clothes hanger, she looked good in any clothes!

Lin Jia stopped, went back to the outer study and began to deal with official duties.

At this time it began to rain again.

He was looking at the account book sent by the county government warehouse, when Yu Zhi, dressed as a servant, came in with an umbrella and a food box, and said with a smile, "My lord, it's time for breakfast!"

As soon as Lin Jia looked up, she saw Yuzhi's bright smile, and she couldn't help feeling better.

No matter what time it is, Yuzhi is always like a little sun, dispelling the haze for him and bringing him sunshine and warmth.

Without realizing it, Yuzhi swiftly took out side dishes, cakes and porridge from the food box, and placed them on the kang table on the Arhat bed in the study, then prepared a basin of clean water and fragrant soap, and asked Lin Jia to wash her hands before breakfast with a smile.

After Lin Jia finished her breakfast, she just picked up a cup of fragrant tea and took a sip when Ah Qing came in to report, "My lord, Commander Gui, please see me!"

Hearing this, Lin Jia was taken aback: What is Gui Ruyu doing here?
After pondering for a while, he took Yuzhi and Ah Qing to welcome him out.

As soon as Lin Jia walked outside the study, she saw a group of men wearing black oilcloth cloaks surrounding a tall man also wearing black oilcloth cloaks striding over.

With a relaxed and contented smile on his face, he greeted him casually, and cupped his hands and said: "Commander Gui is here, I'm sorry to welcome you!"

Gui Ruyu reached out to remove the hood on her head, and looked at Lin Jia expressionlessly.

He is about 26 years old, his eyes are like stars, his nose is straight, his lips are sharp and angular, and he has an indescribable charm.

Lin Jia stretched her eyebrows and smiled slightly.

Gui Ruyu nodded slightly, and said in a clear voice, "Master Lin, please speak inside."

His voice was particularly pleasant, clear and lingling, as if it had the aftertaste of broken jade.

After sitting down in the study, Gui Ruyu went straight to the point and said, "After Mr. Lin came to Daying yesterday to explain, Gui immediately sent people to strengthen the sea patrol. Late last night, he really stopped six smuggling ships."

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Jia: "In addition to the porcelain and silk, there are a total of 160 young ladies in the boat. Gui hopes that Mr. Lin can help Gui to clear up..."

Lin Jia was surprised—there were so many people!Only four people were reported missing!

He raised his eyes to look at Gui Ruyu, and remembered his father's evaluation of Gui Ruyu, a famous general of his generation - "Be good at using soldiers, be smart in numbers, and be at the mercy of the Great Zhou."

Thinking of this, Lin Jia made a decisive decision, and slowly explained the ins and outs of the matter of saving the religion, and finally said: "This case involves a lot, and the lower officials have low positions, so it is difficult to deal with it thoroughly. I beg Gui Shuai to come forward. Coordinating the overall situation, annihilating the Salvation Cult, in exchange for the Zhanzhan Qingtian of our Great Zhou Dynasty!"

My father said that Gui Ruyu was a general who was not born in the world, but he was born in a humble background and did not have effective support in the court.

That being the case, it is better to unite with Gui Ruyu to solve the case of the Salvation Church, so as to build a relationship with Gui Ruyu.

Gui Ruyu had actually found out some rumors, so he came to look for Lin Jia. Hearing Lin Jia's words, he said with emotion: "If Mr. Lin doesn't dislike it, Gui will definitely do his best to investigate this case with him!"

Lin Jia said with a smile: "It's so good!"

Gui Ruyu did things straightforwardly, and having made a plan with Lin Jia, she said goodbye and left.

After sending Gui Ruyu back, Lin Jia sat down on the armchair and made plans silently.

Yuzhi offered a cup of tea, smiled slightly, and said, "My lord, don't worry, this Marshal Gui admires you very much!"

Lin Jia looked at Yuzhi when she heard the words, and said with a smile, "How do you know?"

Yu Zhi said confidently: "I am a bystander!"

She asked Lin Jia seriously: "My lord, what rank are you?"

Lin Jia also answered honestly: "It's the seventh grade."

As a seventh-rank county magistrate, he is really a humble official, but he is only 17 years old. As long as he works hard and properly borrows external forces, he will be able to realize his ambitions!

There was a smile on the corner of Yuzhi's mouth: "What rank is Marshal Gui?"

Lin Jia was thoughtful: "It's the third grade."

Yuzhi smiled and said: "My lord, you are the seventh rank, and Marshal Gui is the third rank. His rank is far above yours, sir. From the appearance and demeanor of Mr. Gui, it can be seen that he is arrogant and arrogant. , but he condescends to come to see you, my lord, doesn't it mean that Marshal Gui appreciates you?"

In a voice that only she and Lin Jianeng could hear, she said softly, "You are the eldest son of King Xingping, the nephew of His Majesty, and one of the candidates for the heir to the throne. Marshal Gui may use this to stand in line!"

Lin Jia was raised by the King of Xingping County since he was a child, so he naturally understood these things, but he was very happy when he heard that Yuzhi also understood.

He glanced at Yuzhi and smiled slightly: "I know. I will try to win him over."

Yuzhi listened, squinted her eyes and smiled.

In the afternoon, after Hu Yingzhi had been needled by Dr. Liu, he drank a large bowl of bitter medicine, and his energy improved a lot, so he walked over slowly and reported to Lin Jia that he went out from the county government to borrow seeds and silver to the common people.

He was meticulous and handled the matter properly, Lin Jia remembered it in his heart.

Hu Yingzhi is very good at handling government affairs, and never shows trouble.

After talking about the business, Hu Yingzhi thought for a while and said, "Master Lin, it's time for that Jin Xiu to come to you, right?"

Lin Jia smiled: "I'm waiting for him!"

After hearing this, Hu Yingzhi said, "My lord, we need to temporarily stabilize Jin Xiuzhen and convince him and the Salvation Cult that we can be bribed..."

Lin Jia nodded and started discussing with Hu Yingzhi.

Sure enough, as Lin Jia expected, the next morning, Jin Xiuzhen sent a servant to send an invitation card, asking Lin Jia to meet at the Anjia Inn.

After Lin Jia finished her business, she took Hu Yingzhi and He Lianshan to Anjia Hotel.

Dressed up as a servant, Yuzhi followed along with Alan.

After a round of toasting, Jin Xiuzhen clapped his hands in the spirit of alcohol, and everyone immediately fell silent, all looking at Jin Xiuzhen.

Jin Xiuzhen looked towards the door of the private room with a smile, only to see that the gauze curtain was lifted, and a pair of identical sisters walked in.

The pair of sisters are about fifteen or sixteen years old, with small round faces, red phoenix eyes, green temples like clouds, fair skin, bright dresses, very beautiful.

Jin Xiuzhen looked at Lin Jia, and said with a smile, "Master Lin, how are these twin sisters?"

Lin Jia smiled slightly: "It's really beautiful."

Jin Xiuzhen got up, bowed and saluted: "Master Lin please accept it!"

Lin Jia glanced at the pair of sisters with watery eyes, and her smile deepened: "Mr. Jin Gaoyi, Lin is more respectful than obedient!"

Yuzhi took the pair of sisters to wait outside, and heard Jin Xiuzhen's voice from inside: "Master Lin, do you know Marshal Gui who is in charge of coastal defense?"
