Queen's Development

Chapter 50 Oriole
Back in the county yamen house, Yu Zhi cooks for herself, making the mutton noodles that Lin Jia wants to eat.

Mrs. Xu has been living in the county office for a long time. Apart from helping with laundry and sweeping the yard, she spends most of her time in the kitchen.

Mrs. Xu Er and Jin'er used to be yellow and thin in front, and their faces often had a look of sadness. Now that they have stayed in the county government house for a while, both mother and daughter have gained a lot of weight, and their complexions have also improved, and they are very satisfied. .

She admires Yuzhi the most, and always feels that the work in the kitchen is too rough, which is too humiliating to Yuzhi, so she can keep Yuzhi from doing the work in the kitchen, and only let Yuzhi do it Some fine work.

When Yu Zhi was making mutton noodles, Er Niang Xu was learning all the time.

She thought that she had learned it, and Yuzhi would not have to do it again.

Yuzhi was the most patient, so while doing it, she explained it to Mrs. Xu in detail.

In the middle, when they talked about going away tonight, Yuzhi casually asked Xu Second Lady: "My lady, tonight, will you and Jin'er go?"

When Mrs. Xu heard this, her eyes lit up first, then dimmed, and she said: "Forget it, our mother and I won't go..."

Seeing that there was something wrong with her expression, Yu Zhi asked a few more questions.

Mrs. Xu Er refused to say, her eyes were red, and she was holding the corner of her clothes, tears were about to flow out.

Seeing this, Yuzhi no longer forced her.

After making mutton glutinous rice noodles, Yuzhi sent them to Lin Jia and served them for Lin Jia.

Lin Jia had nothing to do in the afternoon, sitting in the study in the west dark room and reading.

He took a copy of "Nongshu" and was reading, while Yuzhi sat aside and continued to study "Historical Mirror".

Lin Jia was tired from reading, looked up and saw that Yuzhi was still studying seriously, so she leaned on the back of the chair and asked Yuzhi: "During the time I was not at home, do you have any questions about studying? "

After hearing this, Yuzhi got up in a hurry, took out a booklet she had bound with snow wave paper from under the jade paperweight, and showed it to Lin Jia: "Young Master, I have been reading about The content of Zhou History, this is a question I have in the process of studying, please help me to read it!"

Lin Jia flipped through it and found that Yuzhi's characters were imitated in Lishu, but more flexible than Lishu. Although it was a little immature, it was beautiful.

Yuzhi did things neatly, listed the questions neatly, and even numbered the questions.

The first question she asked was that the powerful clans clearly influenced the development of the Great Zhou Dynasty, why didn't the court suppress it and let it develop?
The second question is that there is obviously a problem with the "management law". The burden is too heavy and the labor is uneven, which is harmful to the people. Why did the Song Dynasty abolish the manor law and the Great Zhou Dynasty revived it?

The third question is that the casting of five coins is confusing and the prices are soaring. Why didn't the court ban it?

The fourth problem is that the military settlement system was implemented in the early days of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and soldiers were allowed to farm during the war. However, the land in the military settlements has been divided up by senior officials. No less, how to solve this problem?
After reading these questions, Lin Jia raised her eyes to look at Yu Zhi, her long eyes were full of surprise.

Yuzhi was supporting Lin Jia with one hand and waiting for Lin Jia's answer. Seeing him looking at her like this, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly put her hand down, put it in front of her body neatly, and said, "My lord, are these questions too childish?" I have been thinking, I have seen all these ills, why did our court ignore them?"

Lin Jia stared at Yu Zhi in a daze.

Yuzhi has always been by his side, he has never noticed the changes in Yuzhi, and now he came back after leaving for a while, only to find that in just half a month, Yuzhi seemed to have grown up, more like a big girl, and more beautiful The whole person is like a delicate snow-white gardenia, blooming in the spring breeze.

After a while, he lowered his eyes and said, "Yu Zhi, there is a saying that I think makes sense, it's called 'read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles', what do you think it means?"

Yuzhi thought for a while, and looked at Lin Jia with sparkling eyes: "Young master, this sentence comes from Dong Qichang's words, 'Qiyun can't be learned, you can know it in this life, and it is naturally given by God. Wanli road, take off the dust in the chest, and naturally camp in the hills, right?"

Lin Jia smiled and nodded.

Yuzhi said triumphantly: "I really have the ability to never forget!"

Seeing that she was very proud, Lin Jia squinted her eyes and shook her head, thinking it was so cute, she couldn't help but reached out and rubbed Yuzhi's head, feeling that Yuzhi's hair was very soft, so she reached out and touched it again.

Yuzhi is the one who cares about appearance the most, immediately took out a target mirror from the drawer, looked at it, frowned and said: "Young master, you messed up my peach heart bun, it was done by Qingcha for me Woolen cloth!"

Lin Jia smiled and remained silent.

Yuzhi resentfully took out the jasper comb from the drawer, and straightened her temples in front of the target mirror.

Lin Jia looked at her silently, thinking: Does she still have rouge and gouache in my study?

Fortunately, Yuzhi just brushed her temples and put away the target mirror and jasper comb.

She sat up straight and said solemnly: "My lord, the so-called reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is to read more books so that you can learn a lot and be able to reflect what you have learned in your life, that is, theory. Combine it with practice and apply what you have learned!"

Lin Jia nodded with a smile, stretched out her hand again, rubbed Yuzhi's head again, and then said: "I will go to the yamen to work in the future, so you can go too!"

Yuzhi's heartbeat started to speed up when she heard the words, her eyes sparkled with excitement, her snow-white cheeks flushed, and she put her hands together in front of her chest: "My lord, can I really go?"

Lin Jia smiled slightly: "Prepare a few sets of servant costumes these few days, and pretend to be my bookboy in the future!"

Hearing this, Yu Zhi rushed forward and hugged Lin Jia tightly.

She liked reading so much since she was a child. Generally, girls from decent families in the village would be sent to the village school to study for two years. Her brother reads and doesn't let her read...

Yuzhi was only as tall as Lin Jia's chest. She hugged Lin Jia tightly, buried her face in front of Lin Jia, and remained silent for a long time.

Lin Jia soon discovered that Yuzhi was crying, and her tears seeped into Lin Jia's underwear, warm and humid...

His heart shrank again and again, and there seemed to be a slight pain in his chest...

After half a day, Yuzhi felt a little embarrassed, wiped away her tears on Lin Jia's chest, and said in a muffled voice, "Oh, my lord, if you were my real father, how happy I would be!"

Lin Jia: "...I'm 17 years old, and I can't give birth to a 15-year-old daughter."

Yuzhi's eyelashes were wet, and she smiled with tears in her eyes: "Then I will treat you better, son, and you will treat me better, too, okay?"

We are all people who no one loves, so let's love each other!
Lin Jia's voice was hoarse, and she answered "OK".

Yuzhi has always been a person who is good at seizing opportunities, she immediately raised her hands and said with a smile: "My lord, high-five yourselves!"

Lin Jia raised his hand and gave Yuzhi a high-five. With a crisp "pop", he and Yuzhi made a vow to treat each other well.

Yu Zhi strikes while the iron is hot, and immediately asks Lin Jia with a smile: "My lord, do you know what day it is tonight?"

Lin Jia glanced at the white silk jacket on Yuzhi's body, and said directly: "Do you want to get rid of all kinds of illnesses?"

According to the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, women should dress up neatly on the night of the Lantern Festival, and wear white silk jackets to walk away from all kinds of diseases.

Yuzhi nodded again and again: "I'll go with Qingcha!"

Lin Jia said: "I'll take Ah Lan with you!"

Yuzhi was very happy, so she went to find tea and told her the good news.

There is a three-entry house behind Yuchuan Bookstore, which is the home of Hu Yingzhi and Hu Qingchi's brothers.

Hu Yingzhi has been supervising the repair of the county school for the past few days. Today in the evening, he finally found some free time, so he only wore a white silk jacket and obscene trousers, practicing Wuqinxi in the study room where the earth dragon grew.

The little fellow Kunpeng suddenly opened the thick brocade curtain, poked his head in and said, "My lord, Honghu next to Second Young Master has something to report!"

The earth dragon in the young master's study was too hot for ordinary people to bear, so they all waited outside and refused to come in easily.

Hu Yingzhi stopped his movements and said, "Let him in!"

He specially arranged for Honghu to be beside Qingchi and look at Qingchi. Since he was talking back and forth at this time, Qingchi must have done something wrong again.

Honghu was a black and skinny guy, and after he came in, he folded his hands and saluted, and said: "My lord, the second son has bought some rascals, and is going to take advantage of the woman's illness tonight, and take away the magistrate Lin's maid, Yuzhi."

Hu Yingzhi was taken aback when he heard this: "What is he going to do?"

Honghu blinked: "Second Young Master fell in love with Yuzhi, the maid in Mrs. Lin's room, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to take her away."

When Hu Yingzhi heard this, he was furious at first, and then had other thoughts...

Now Qingzhou has increased the reward for Lin Jia's natural death to 2 taels of silver.

Lin Jia loves Yuzhi so much, if Yuzhi comes out to get rid of all kinds of illnesses, he will most likely come out too, if the person Qingchi is looking for is the first to act, and he will order Huang Que to follow, maybe he can take advantage of the chaos to kill Lin Jia , but got the 2 taels of silver...

But Hu Yingzhi immediately thought of the mysterious background behind Lin Jia: If Lin Jia is really the nephew of today's emperor, he will start to help Lin Jia now, and when Lin Jia ascends the throne in the future, then he will be a dragon, this is by no means mere What 2 taels of silver can compare to...

Thinking of this, Hu Yingzhi asked Honghu: "Where is the second son?"

Honghu hurriedly said: "Second Young Master has already taken people to Fan's Restaurant to drink!"

Hu Yingzhi called Kunpeng in, and said, "Go to our bodyguard bureau and call five or six of those skilled bodyguards over, I have something to arrange!"

Kunpeng answered "yes" and went to make arrangements.

At this time, it was not yet dark, and the famous Fan's restaurant in Zhao County was already very lively. Hu Qingchi booked a private room and was entertaining his friends. Everyone was guessing, talking loudly, and talking about tonight's actions, but they didn't know that there was someone next door. is listening.

Sitting in the private room next door was a fair-skinned and refined young man in brocade robes. In front of the young man were kneeling six tough men: "Don't worry, Eldest Young Master, as long as Lin Jia shows up, we will definitely chop him up while we're in trouble!"

The young man in brocade robe smiled lightly, and said: "Chop up a few more knives, so as not to die completely, it will be troublesome!"
