Queen's Development

Chapter 32
Lin Jia heard that Yuzhi had memorized the song "Plucking Hibiscus in Shejiang River".

For some reason, thinking of Yuzhi standing in the study with a book in her hand, Lin Jia felt a surge of warmth in her heart. He lowered his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and played with the wine cup in his hand with his slender fingers.

The wine in the wine cup spilled on the red lacquered table.

Seeing this, Hu Yingzhi winked at Li's bustard.

The bustard of the Li family smiled brightly, indicating that he had received it.

After Li Xixi finished the song, he bowed his knees and saluted, and sat down.

Jin Mei'er and Jin Sai'er also handed over the musical instruments in their hands to the maid who was waiting on the side.

The bustard of the Li family said with a smile: "My family, Xixi, has been raised from a young age and is very shy. She hasn't received any guests yet, and she doesn't usually come out to meet guests, and she doesn't easily sing songs for others. Thanks to the county magistrate , otherwise I would refuse to be careful!"

The meaning of her words is to remind Lin Jia that Li Xixi is a Qing girl, and she is worthy of matching with Lin Jia. They will be a temporary couple and enter the public bridal chamber.

Hu Yingzhi smiled slightly, beckoned to call the young servant Yingtong, took out 50 taels of silver, put it on the table, and said calmly: "Today is my treat, and all the expenses of the two adults are on me. Some silver, buy some for Xixi Rouge and gouache, I will make some new clothes for Xixi some other day!"

Lin Jia was ready to leave, she lowered her eyes and thought about what to say.

Li Xi listened carefully, quickly got up and thanked Lin Jia, his face flushed slightly, and he glanced at Lin Jia again.

The bright candlelight shone on Lin Jia's face, coating him with a bright halo. Lin Jia's thick eyelashes cast a thick fan-shaped shadow on the eyelids, and a pair of beautiful long eyes were covered by the long eyelashes. Shining waves, straight nose bridge, tightly pursed moon lips...

Li Xixi thought carefully: He really is a very handsome young man, and this young man is now the new magistrate of Zhao County...

The more Li Xixi looked at Lin Jia, the more he fell in love with him, and his heart became hotter and hotter, so he smiled softly, took some delicate dishes with a pair of tooth chopsticks, and wanted to feed Lin Jia.

Lin Jia ducked her body and said, "Put it on a plate!"

Li Xixi had no choice but to put the delicate dishes in the tooth chopsticks on the plate in front of Lin Jia, then put down the tooth chopsticks, picked up the jug himself, poured a glass of wine, and offered it to Lin Jia shyly: "My lord, Give this servant some face and drink this cup!"

Her white and delicate hand was on the side of Lin Jia's face, exuding the fragrance of roses, her white jade-like fingers were holding the wine cup, the wine in the wine cup was amber in color, exuding the sweet fragrance of osmanthus—it turned out to be sweet osmanthus liquor!

Lin Jia was the least resistant to sweets, so she couldn't help but looked over and found that Li Xixi didn't really look like Yuzhi.

Seeing this, Hu Yingzhi said with a smile: "My lord, as the saying goes, there are four great happy events in life, and one of them is the wedding night in the bridal chamber. They are so beautiful and like you so much, so you just let it go!"

Wang Qingyu took Yuzhi and Acheng along and drove quickly, taking shortcuts and choosing quiet alleys.

It's night now, and the streets and alleys in Zhao County are shrouded in the dark night. The streets are empty, and occasionally the wind passes by, making the dry artemisia rustling on the house tiles.

Yu Zhi's group passed quickly, the sound of their footsteps caused the dogs in the nearby yard to bark, which was especially clear in this quiet night.

Wang Qingyu often handles cases outside, so her feet are amazing. He hurried all the way, and found that Yuzhi, a timid little girl, was able to keep up all the time, so he kept his previous speed and took Yuzhi and Acheng to Rouge Lane. go.

Because she was walking too fast, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Yuzhi's back, and her coat was all on her body. Naturally, it was uncomfortable, but thinking that if she walked faster, she might be able to prevent Lin Jia from getting lost. Zhi tried her best to follow Wang Qingyu.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at a bustling alley.

It's night now, and most of the streets and alleys in Zhao County are dark, but this alley is very noisy. Red lanterns are hung in front of every house, and the whole alley is glowing red, plus the lively sound of pipa and singing , guessing pieces, and charming laughter, it really deserves to be the number one selling gold cave fireworks village in Zhao County.

As Wang Qingyu walked forward, she pointed to the family with sweet-scented osmanthus trees in front of her and said, "The front is Li Xixi's house!"

Infinite hope was ignited in Yuzhi's heart, and she walked over quickly.

The door of Li Xixi's house is closed, but through the flower wall, you can see the bright lights inside.

In front of Li Xixi's house, Wang Qingyu took a step back.

He is just a yamen servant, and the officials all have banquets at Li Xixi's house, which is not the kind of place he can come to.

Seeing this, Yuzhi hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The door was quickly opened, and a good-looking little maid stood inside the door, looking at Yuzhi in surprise, with a charming look on her face that didn't match her age: "Sister, we are not a place where sisters can come. !"

Yuzhi smiled hurriedly and said in a low voice: "Sister, I am a servant of the magistrate's family. If something important happened in the family, I have to report it to the lord. Please take me to see the lord!"

The little maid tilted her head to look at Yuzhi again, and said, "Sister, you are here to catch rape?"

Yuzhi was afraid that Lin Jia's virginity would be lost if she went in a little later, so she didn't talk nonsense, she directly pulled out a silver-encrusted white jade pear hairpin from her bun and stuffed it into the little maid's mouth, begging softly: "My sister, The matter is really too urgent, I beg my sister to accommodate me!"

As expected of the little maid who grew up in the courtyard, when she saw this silver-encrusted white jade pear hairpin, she immediately had an innocent and lovely smile on her face, and she stepped back to make way for Yuzhi and the others.

Yuzhi immediately ran in.

Standing behind, Wang Qingyu and Ah Cheng watched the whole scene, and couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Seeing Yuzhi running in quickly, Ah Cheng hurriedly followed.

After all, Wang Qingyu had a long experience in the world, so she refused to go in when she saw this, but quietly extinguished the lantern in her hand, and hid in the dark at a corner not far away.

After Yuzhi entered, she went straight to the main room with the brightest lights.

When she arrived outside the gauze curtain hanging on the open door of the main room, she stopped in her tracks, listened carefully, and found that someone was talking inside, and the voice could be faintly heard—"...one of them was the wedding night in the bridal chamber. You are so beautiful, and you like you so much, you just follow it!"

This somewhat familiar voice is very special, clear and faint, like the silky fragrance of osmanthus wafting from the osmanthus forest on a cold moon night. It sounds very nice, but it seems to be cut off and difficult to continue.

Yuzhi has a good memory, and immediately remembered the voice of the sick and beautiful man she met at the rouge powder shop last time.

But at this time, she didn't care about other things, and immediately opened the curtain and walked in.

Ah Cheng also followed in.

As soon as Yuzhi entered, she saw Lin Jia who was getting very close to a beautiful girl.

The room was very lively, Yuzhi's intrusion brought a gust of cold wind, everyone looked up and found a girl with a bright face and a sweet smile.

Hu Yingzhi recognized that it was the beautiful maid he had seen at the rouge gouache shop before, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

He Lianshan recognized Lin Jia's personal maid, Yuzhi, and looked at Lin Jia.

Lin Jia looked at Yuzhi, her face suddenly became hot for some reason, and she quickly pushed away Li Xixi who was very close to him.

Seeing this, the bustard of the Li family hurriedly got up to stop Yuzhi.

Yuzhi took a deep breath, and glanced around quickly, especially the three beauties in the room, finally looked at Lin Jia, bowed her knees and saluted: "My lord, something urgent happened at home, Qingzhou old house I sent someone over, and I'm waiting to see you!"

Achi and Alan who were with Lin Jia were originally sitting in the East Wing, sitting with He Lianshan and Hu Yingzhi's servants, when they heard the voice, they also came in.

As soon as Lin Jia heard it, she knew that Yuzhi was lying, but she stood up cooperatively: "Really? Then I'll go back quickly!"

After finishing speaking, he left his seat, clasped his hands together, and said: "I have urgent matters at home, so I have to leave first!"

A trace of disappointment flashed in Hu Yingzhi's eyes, but it quickly turned into a warm and pleasant smile. He stood up with He Lianshan and sent Lin Jia out.

When they got outside the door, everyone realized that it was snowing at some time, and the tiny snow particles were densely woven obliquely, making a rustling sound.

Alan led out the horse, and Achi waited for Lin Jia to get on the horse.

Lin Jia rode on the horse and bid farewell to Hu Yingzhi and He Lianshan who came out to see him off, and left Li Xixi's house surrounded by everyone, heading towards the county government.

Walking to the corner in front, Lin Jia slid off the horse, stood beside the horse and looked at Yuzhi: "Did you come here?"

Yuzhi nodded, and expressed her meritoriously with a look of resentment: "In order to save the young master, you go back, I ran here with Ah Cheng and Brother Wang!"

Lin Jiaxiu raised her eyebrows: "Save me? Brother Wang?"

Yuzhi's black eyeballs rolled around quickly, and she said with a smile: "My lord, this matter is a long story, let's talk about it when we go home!"

Hearing the county magistrate mentioning her name, Wang Qingyu came out from the dark corner at the right time, and made a big gift to Lin Jia: "I have seen you, my lord!"

Lin Jia recognized Wang Qingyu, the servant of the county government office, knowing that it was Wang Qingyu who led the way for Yuzhi and A Cheng to rescue her, so she nodded and said, "Thanks for your hard work!"

Wang Qingyu looked respectful: "My lord, this is what little ones should do!"

Lin Jia remembered it in her heart, said no more, looked at Yuzhi and said, "Come and sit on the horse!"

Yuzhi: "..."

She didn't feel it just now, but now she has noticed that her feet are sore and painful, and she is afraid that blisters have already been worn out, but looking at this tall horse, Yuzhi can't help but hesitate.

Lin Jia didn't say much, and walked over directly, picked up Yu Zhi by the waist, and put her sideways on the saddle.

Yuzhi jumped in fright, her face turned pale immediately, for fear that she would accidentally fall down.

However, her ability to adapt is very light. After a few moves on the saddle, she quickly learned to maintain her balance.

Lin Jia said lightly: "Let's go!"

A Lan led the horse, Wang Qingyu held a lantern, and everyone surrounded Lin Jia in the snow and walked forward.

Yuzhi sat on the saddle, her body swaying left and right following the horse's pace, her eyes couldn't help looking at Lin Jia's tall and thin figure in front of her, first she thought: You are so weak, you actually lifted me up just now, And it can be lifted so high that it can be put on the saddle. How did he do it?
After thinking for a while, Yuzhi began to worry again: I interfered with the son's good affairs by meddling in my own affairs, will the son come back to the back house and clean me up?

She thought about the delicate appearance of the girl next to Lin Jia just now, and couldn't help but feel more and more worried.

But Yuzhi doesn't regret it at all. Lin Jia is only 16 years old, and she is still a boy. If she can't control herself and gets some dirty disease, then her life will be over. She really did what Princess Li wanted. Princess Li is in Qingzhou, no matter what Know how to be happy!
