Queen's Development

Chapter 9 Opportunity
After Xia's mother left with her people, everyone stood there with pale faces, and no one spoke.

The four second-class maids, Jinlian, Hongye, Shumei, and Wenjing, always looked forward to Shui Ning and Shuilian, but now they were scared to death by Mama Xia's words, for fear that Mama Xia would kill her and come back to find their affairs.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yu Zhi hurriedly looked at Jin Lian, the oldest of the four second-class maids: "Sister Jin Lian, the food in the east wing is still on display, why don't Qingcha and I collect it?"

Jin Lian gave Yuzhi a blank look, and said loudly: "Since you know the food is still there, why don't you clean it up? Ask me three times and four times, what are you doing!"

Yuzhi knew that she was venting her anger, so she didn't get angry, and went straight to the East Wing with Qing Cha to clean up.

The brocade curtain was born beautiful, with a palm-sized melon-seeded face as white as jade, almond eyes looking forward, but she has a bad temper, used to pinching the sharp point, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, talking sweetly in front of the water lotus and water phoenix, and making a nasty voice in front of the four third-class maids.

She scolded Yu Zhi a few words, and finally she let out her breath, and left without caring about the others.

Hongye is the daughter of Li Fu, the housekeeper of the county prince's mansion. She stayed in the Lingxiao Courtyard just to hang out for a few years so that she could go out and get married, so she left as soon as Jinlian left.

Shumei and Xianjing are a pair of twins, born exactly alike, with white skin, thick eyebrows, big eyes and plump red lips. Although they are only 16 years old, they have tall chest, thin waist and tall stature. They are really a pair of stunners.

Seeing that Jinlian and Hongye had left, the two of them exchanged winks and left as well.

They were specially arranged to serve the second young master, but unfortunately the second young master spends the whole day in Cuiweiju, like a fairy from the sky, who rarely descends to the mortal world once, so that Shumei and Xianjing are full of abilities, but Don't use it, I have long wanted to develop outside, at this time the water dragon and water lotus are not there, they just slipped out to find the big maid in the eldest son's room, Shui Zhu, to play.

Yuzhi and Qingcha tidied up the east wing, and when they came out to take a look, they found that the entire Lingxiao Courtyard had disappeared and was empty.

Qingcha relies on Yuzhi the most, and looks at Yuzhi: "Sister Yuzhi, what should I do? They're all gone? Shall we hide too?"

Yuzhi was so angry and funny, she said: "They are all gone, let's leave again, if the second young master comes back and asks for tea or water, then what shall we do!"

She looked at the small tea-making pavilion under the corridor of the main room, and said, "Let's wait in the corridor while doing needlework. If the second young master comes back, it's convenient to bring tea and water; if the second young master doesn't come back, we can do needlework." Already!"

Concubine Li is diligent and thrifty in managing her family, and she is very virtuous. All the people in the county prince's mansion received enough material to make a whole body of clothes and went back to find ways to sew their own clothes.

Seeing that winter was coming, Yuzhi and Qingcha also brought some water cotton and white silk to make a white silk jacket.

Qingcha felt that Yuzhi's words were very reasonable, and looked at Yuzhi with bright eyes, waiting for Yuzhi's arrangement.

Seeing that Qingcha is so cute, Yuzhi couldn't help squinting her eyes and smiling, and stretched out her hand to caress Qingcha's head: "Qingcha, go back to the small courtyard and bring our sewing dustpan, I'll watch it here!"

"Okay!" Qingcha agreed crisply, took the key handed over by Yuzhi, happily went to the small courtyard to get their sewing dustpan.

After the tea left, Yuzhi went to the small pavilion under the corridor of the main house to have a look, and saw that the stove was sealed and tea was simmering on the stove, so she moved two small stools and put them outside the small pavilion, ready to wait for the tea to come.

After finishing all this work, she still had some free time. Seeing that the tea cups in the tea cabinet in the small pavilion were a little messy and the tea cabinet was also a little dirty, she took out all the tea cups, cleaned them, and scalded them with boiling water. Then wipe the tea cabinet again.

Yuzhi was busy when she suddenly heard footsteps outside, she hurriedly looked out, but saw a young man in a royal blue brocade robe walking over with two servants.

The young man just happened to look up, his eyes sparkled under the cover of long eyelashes, his bright red lips were slightly pursed, as if he was angry - it was the second son Lin Jia!

Lin Jia heard the servants Ah Qing and Ah Chi who were following behind her keep talking about Mama Xia's rectification of the Lingxiao Courtyard. She thought they were wordy, so she turned her head and gave Ah Qing and Ah Chi a cold look.

Aqing and Achi couldn't help but shuddered, and immediately fell silent, their endless chatter was blocked, and they didn't dare to say a single nonsense.

Although the second son is not very old, they are afraid of him.

Lin Jia suppressed the two servants, and when she looked up, she saw a girl standing on the porch. The girl's forehead was as high as her eyebrows, and her black hair was hanging down smoothly. Her small face was as white as jade, The big eyes are shining brightly, and the side is so beautiful, it is the little maid who followed Yang's mother to give him supper last night!
Seeing Lin Jia looking over, Yu Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to bow her knees and saluted: "Your maidservant has seen the Second Young Master!"

Her voice was crisp and delicate, and it was very nice.

Lin Jia's heart moved, and she recognized the voice of the girl who helped him stop his retching that morning.

Thinking of the embarrassment and embarrassment that time, Lin Jia's face turned red all of a sudden, her eyes became watery, she nodded hastily, and said, "Get up!"

Yuzhi glanced at him quickly, and met Lin Jia's eyes, seeing Lin Jia's dark eyes looking at her, for some reason, she felt her face was a little hot, and hurriedly lowered her eyes.

Lin Jia also felt that her face was a little hot, she turned her eyes away and did not dare to look at Yuzhi, she stepped forward with her long legs, and went straight into the open room.

Ah Qing and Ah Chi hurriedly followed in.

Yuzhi thought that the second young master would ask for tea and water, so she waited in the corridor, waiting for the summons from inside.

Lin Jia sat down on the yellow rosewood armchair placed against the east wall in the Ming room, and tapped twice on the yellow rosewood high table at hand with her slender fingers.

Ah Qing and Ah Chi knew that this was Lin Jia's preparatory action every time she came to the Lingxiao Courtyard to lose her temper, so they held their heads high and waited expectantly.

Lin Jia tapped her fingers twice, and when she had settled her emotions, she said loudly, "I've been here for so long, why hasn't anyone come to wait on me? Are they all dead!"

Yuzhi heard it from the corridor outside, and couldn't help being taken aback—the second young master is so handsome, why is his personality so violent?

She hurried over, bowed her knees and saluted, and said respectfully: "What's your order, Second Young Master?"

Lin Jia: "..."

He stared blankly at Yuzhi, and said for a while, "Why... why is it you?"

Yuzhi hurriedly explained: "Second son, Sister Shuilian and Shuilian were taken away by Mother Xia, and the four sisters, Jinlian, Hongye, Shumei and Wenjing, are also out on business!"

Looking at Yuzhi, Lin Jia's always clear mind couldn't help but feel a little confused, but she appeared very calm.

His dark eyes slid across Yuzhi calmly, nodded, and looked away at the courtyard: "I'm thirsty, go make tea!"

Yuzhi had just tidied up the tea cabinet and knew that there was only half a can of Maojian in it, so she asked, "Second Young Master, is Maojian okay?"

Lin Jia gave a absent-minded "hmm".

Yuzhi retreated hurriedly, and went to the small pavilion to prepare.

Seeing that Yu Zhi had gone out, Ah Qing hurriedly leaned into Lin Jia's ear, and said in a low voice, "My lord, Mama Yang said that this Yu Zhi was arranged by Mama Jin!"

Lin Jia lowered her eyes, her thick and long eyelashes covered her deep eyes: "Got it!"

Yuzhi quickly brought in a tea table made of wenge wood. On the tea table there was a small red clay charcoal stove and a set of green porcelain tea sets, which looked impressive.

Lin Jia couldn't help being taken aback when she saw it at first sight - she looked so weak, but she was so strong?

There was a kang table on the Luohan bed on the west wall opposite, Yuzhi put the tea table on the kang table without blushing and panting, took off her embroidered shoes, and sat behind the tea table, preparing to be in front of the second son. Make tea with noodles.

The water on the red peat stove boiled, and Yu Zhi scooped some boiling water with a tea spoon to scald the biserite teapot and the small biserite teacups, then put some tea leaves into the biserite pot with tongs, and Pour boiling water into the bisque pot to moisten the tea buds.

When the tea fragrance wafted out, Yuzhi poured the tea into the green porcelain jug on the side, and then poured boiling water again.

She holds the handle of the bisque teapot and gently rotates the teapot to gradually stretch the buds.

During this process, Yuzhi kept smelling the fragrance of tea, and when the unique fragrance of Maojian gradually wafted out, she picked up the jade porcelain pot and poured it into those jade porcelain tea cups carefully.

After putting down the jade porcelain teapot, Yuzhi got up and got off the Arhat bed, and offered a jade porcelain teacup to Lin Jia.

The misty fragrance of hair tip is dense in the bright room, which is light and pleasant.

Lin Jia had never had such an experience before, just sitting there in a relaxed manner, quietly watching people making tea for herself - just watching Yuzhi make tea is a kind of enjoyment!

He took the teacup, took a sip carefully, and found that the tea was bitter and had a clear fragrance, but the aftertaste was sweet.

When Lin Jia tasted tea, Yuzhi was observing Lin Jia.

When I heard people talk about the second son before, they were all extravagant, lustful and manic, but I didn't expect him to be such a handsome and tall young man.

Lin Jia tasted the tea and found that Yuzhi was looking at her. She couldn't help but feel a little shy. She lowered her eyes and covered her eyes with long eyelashes. She was concentrating on drinking tea, but Jun's face gradually turned red.

There was no movement when Lin Jia drank tea, there was no sound in the bright room, and occasionally there was a small sound made by the teacup touching the saucer.

After drinking tea, Lin Jia got up and left.

Yuzhi sent it to the corridor, and bowed her knees to send Lin Jia away.

Lin Jia walked down the steps, and suddenly looked back at Yu Zhi: "Can you cook?"

Yuzhi hurriedly said: "My second son, this servant can cook simple meals!"

Lin Jia nodded slightly, and left with Aqing and Achi.

When Lin Jia's back was out of sight, Yuzhi finally let out a sigh of relief—although she was bold, she couldn't help being a little nervous when she was with the Second Young Master, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her back.

At this time, Qingcha ran over with a dustpan for sewing: "Sister Yuzhi, I found that my Qingshui cotton was much less. I asked them one by one, but no one would admit it!"

Seeing that she remembered that her forehead was covered with sweat, Yu Zhi hurriedly comforted her: "Qingcha, don't worry, you can put all your things in my room from now on!"

After thinking for a while, he said, "I have a lot of clean water, I'll share some with you!"

Qingcha pouted, still very unhappy.

Yu Zhi diverted her attention: "Let's go, help me tidy up the room!"

Just as Yuzhi and Qingcha tidied up the Ming room, Shumei and Xianjing came back hand in hand.

Seeing Yuzhi and Qingcha standing in the corridor, they immediately raised their eyebrows: "What are you two doing here?"

Qingcha was about to speak, Yuzhi pulled her quietly, and said, "Sister Shumei, Sister Wenjing, we see that the stove is still burning in the small pavilion, so we will guard it here!"

Shumei glanced at Qingcha and Yuzhi contemptuously, and said, "Okay, we're back, are you still leaving?"

Yuzhi smiled and answered "yes", and left with Qingcha holding the sewing dustpan.

She was in a very good mood today, so she was too lazy to talk to Shumei and the others.
