Chapter 56: Secret Letters
Hearing this, Yu Yu's clear eyes swirled on Qingcha's face, and then smiled: "Qingcha, why are you suddenly asking this?"
Qingcha couldn't hide something in her heart, and immediately asked, "Yuyu, what did that father-in-law say to our son-in-law?"
Yu Yu looked at Qingcha's eyes, and always felt that Qingcha was a little strange today, so he smiled and said, "How do I know!"
She felt that Qingcha was really strange today.
Yu Yu picked up a cup of warm tea, handed it to Qingcha, pretended to be casual, and said with a smile: "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"
Qingcha took the teacup and took a sip, and said, "It was Brother Wang who asked me." A few days ago, he was on duty at the east side gate, and when he saw this old man coming in, he was a little curious, so he asked me casually. He's afraid that you'll think too much, so he won't let me talk to you! ”
Yu Yu listened to it, and also poured a cup of tea and sipped it slowly, and said in his mouth: "I didn't think much about it!" At that time, Ah Qing and I were standing under the porch, how did we know what Gongzi and they were talking about? ”
Qingcha raised his head, drank all the warm tea in the teacup, and said hurriedly: "I'll talk to Brother Wang!"
She didn't care that the snow was melting on the ground outside, and she was wet, so she hurried out the door and jumped down the steps.
Yu Yu reached out to pull her, but Qingcha was in too much of a hurry, and Yu Yu didn't hold it at all.
She wanted to call Qingcha, but after thinking about it, she watched Qingcha run away with her skirt - Wang Qingyu is really a little strange, and it is okay to let Qingcha try to tempt it.
The tea did not return until the evening.
Yu Yu saw that her face was flushed, her eyes were watery, and her lips were a little red abnormally, so she asked, "Qingcha, why have you been there for so long?"
Qingcha's face suddenly turned red, lowered his eyes and muttered, "Brother Wang took me out and ate something......
Yu Yu suddenly approached her and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "You have eaten shrimp wontons, and you also ate meat buns, right?"
The tea has the smell of shrimp wontons and the taste of meat buns.
Qingchahu raised his arm suspiciously and sniffed, and also faintly smelled the smell of his body, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm a little cold, so Brother Wang took me to the Baijia Wonton Shop in Jasper Lane to eat a bowl of wontons, who knew that you were actually a dog's nose, you can smell anything!"
Yu Yu smiled.
She looked at Qingcha's slightly swollen lips, and always felt that it was not so simple, so she hugged Qingcha and said in a low voice: "Qingcha, no matter how good you and Brother Wang are, but I have a sentence that you must remember!"
Qingcha saw that Yu Yu was solemn, and hurriedly raised her eyes to look over, seeing that Yu Yu had no smile on her face, Hei Lingling's eyes seemed to see the depths of her heart, she didn't dare to look at Yu Yu, and hurriedly said: "Say it quickly, I'll listen!"
Yu Yu said slowly: "No matter how good you and Brother Wang are, but there are some intimate things, don't do them casually."
She clutched the tea tightly, and her voice was low: "If you do something that you regret, men can easily get out, but women can't get out, so you need to learn to protect yourself."
Qingcha's face was spicy, and he hurriedly said: "I know!"
She broke away from Yu Yu and ran away.
On the morning of the second day, Yu Yu got up, and found that there seemed to be something falling on the ground against the wall, and hurriedly walked over to look at it, and found that it was a red plum blossom, and a roll of paper was helped with red silk thread on it.
She untied the silk thread, took off the roll of paper and unfolded it, and found that the words on the paper were extremely delicate - "At noon on the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, meet on the Guanyin Bridge."
The signature is "Horse Female Doctor".
Yu Yu got up slowly - tomorrow is the twenty-fifth day of the first month!
After waiting for so long, the female doctor Ma still came.
She felt a little cold, folded the roll of paper, stuffed it into her sleeve pocket, and then slowly walked to the main room with the plum blossom in her hand.
Yu Yu has always been very assertive, and at this time she was also a little confused, and said in her heart: If the son is here, how good it would be!
Lin Jia is sick and weak, and he looks at the fine and delicate, but no matter what happens, he is always unhurried, and there is always a way to solve it.
Yu Yu unconsciously regarded Lin Jia as his backbone.
At this time, Lin Jia was standing quietly at the foot of the southern foot of Yangshan Mountain in the north of the city, wrapped in a thick royal blue satin Xuanhu cloak, looking up at the snow-covered Yangshan.
Helian Shan and Yang Xin stood there with him.
Alan stood to the side.
At this moment, a "squeak" sound of boots stepping on the snow came from far and near, and Ye Chunshan, who was dressed in armor, strode over and said with a smile: "My lord, do we still want to continue to surround them?" It's been two days and two nights! ”
Lin Jia shrank a little coldly, wrapped the cloak on his body tightly, and his voice was clear, like the afterglow of the impact of broken jade: "They are all extremely vicious people, if they attack hard, our soldiers will also be damaged; There are a lot of people anyway, so it's better to take turns around them comfortably; We have wine and meat, tents and braziers, and they have nothing but gold and silver that they cannot eat or drink! ”
There was a faint smile on his handsome face: "When they are hungry and their feet are weak, let's rush up again, or just force them down!"
Ye Chunshan smiled and nodded: "My lord!"
Helian Shan chewed a jade-white thatched root in his mouth, and said: "These people are so ruthless, they robbed three villages in a row, not to mention, in order to force the people to hand over gold and silver, they also killed people!"
Lin Jia took a step forward and said softly, "So, let's not let them have a good time!"
The eastern and northern parts of Zhao County are mountainous, and there are bandits in the mountains from time to time, and the common people are overwhelmed.
Yang Xin, who was squinting his eyes and staring intently, suddenly said: "Lord Lin, these bandits are not only numerous, but also brave and well-informed, every time the officers and soldiers attack, they either fight in the air, or they are ambushed, this time thanks to the Lord blocking the news, it is the people and horses brought by Lord Ye from Qingzhou, otherwise maybe we will have to pounce!"
Lin Jiaqing smiled lightly: "What's so strange about this?" There are traitors in our county government, and these bandits are naturally well-informed! ”
Ye Chunshan said: "When we exterminate the bandits this time, we will go and investigate the traitors well!"
He looked at Lin Jia, and saw that Lin Jia was looking at the delicate and thin, and suddenly remembered Ding's father-in-law's explanation, so he said: "My lord, the chicken soup has been stewed, you go in first and use something, just mark it and guard it outside!"
This time Yang Xin was in charge of logistics, he himself loved chicken, so he bought countless chickens from the people, and asked the men to clean up and stew in a big pot, and the soldiers ate chickens and drank chicken soup, which was also warm.
Lin Jia really felt uncomfortable with cold at this time, so he didn't push back at the moment, and took Yang Xin and Helian Shan into the main tent.
Two days later, Lin Jia had already led people to surround these bandits in Yangshan for four days.
It was late at night, and there were several large cauldrons outside the camp tents of the soldiers at the foot of the mountain, and the rich aroma of chicken was boiling in the pots, and the rich aroma was rising under the mountain.
Lin Jia drank a bowl of chicken soup, ate half of the steamed steamed buns, and felt warm, so he ordered Ah Lan to call Ye Chunshan and Helian Shan, who were patrolling outside, to come over.
As soon as Ye Chunshan came in, Lin Jia asked, "Lord Ye, has the opening I told you to leave has already been left?"
Ye Chunshan clenched his fists and smiled: "My lord's orders, dare to disobey the order?" Leave it out in the afternoon! The mark surrounded the sheep mountain like an iron bucket, leaving only a hole in the west, and they had to rush out from the west! ”
Lin Jia looked at Helian Shan: "Lord Helian, how is the pit dugging?"
Helian Shan smiled slightly: "My lord, according to your orders, the pit was dug last night, it is deep and wide, the pit wall is steep, and it is full of three people deep!"
Lin Jia smiled slightly, there was a brazier in the tent, and the faint light of the fire in the brazier was reflected on Lin Jia's face, showing his handsomeness and youth even more: "When the soldiers finish eating this chicken soup noodle sheet and their bodies are hot, let's start catching turtles in the urn!"
Those bandits were so hungry that their feet were weak, and when they smelled the smell of fragrant chicken soup, didn't they rush down?
It didn't take long for the bandits who had not eaten or drunk for four days and four nights on the mountain to finally start a charge at midnight under the lure of the open-air chicken soup cauldron, but they were blocked by the elite soldiers brought by Ye Chunshan, and the back road was also cut off by Helian Shan's people, and finally they were all driven to the opening left in the west, and basically all fell into the pit dug by Helian Shan's people!
Lin Jia had already instructed the man to make several large pots of sauce meat, baked countless flour cakes, and a soldier gave out four flour cakes with sauce meat, plus a bowl of thin chicken soup noodles, and began to search the mountains when he was full, making sure not to leave a single fish that slipped through the net.
The night was getting deeper.
Qingcha had already fallen asleep in bed.
Yu Yu lay on the couch in front of the window, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
She simply got up, put on her embroidered jacket, sat down by the window, took out the roll of paper, and looked at the candlestick.
The handwriting is beautiful, similar to the handwriting of the first letter she received when she came to Zhaoxian.
Yu Yu looked at the plum blossoms placed on the windowsill - the red plum blossom that tied the letter had been inserted in a small white porcelain vase that she had found, and now it was placed on the windowsill.
Staring at this red plum blossom, Yu Yu remembered that he had entered the east gate of the county office, and a little further north, there seemed to be a red plum tree, which seemed to be opening now—could this red plum be broken off from that red plum?
She was pondering when she heard the faint sound of horses' hooves outside, followed by a neighing of horses.
Yu Yu's heart moved, and he immediately got off the bed, and he didn't have time to pick himself up, so he casually took the white silk skirt that was put on the side and tied it, put on the embroidered shoes and went out.
Running to the porch, Yu Yu realized that he had forgotten to comb his hair, so he raised his hand to stroke his hair bun and straighten his bangs.
The gate opened, and a young man wearing a royal blue cloak walked around the shadow wall and into the courtyard.
There were two dead wind lamps hanging under the corridor of the wing room, emitting a cold light in the cold night, and the young man saw the jade garden standing under the corridor at a glance.
As soon as he saw Yu Yu, the young man suddenly stopped his steps, and stood there looking at Yu Yu standing in the corridor, Xiuchang's eyes were full of surprise: "Yu Yu, you haven't slept yet?"
Yu Yu's heart was beating fast, and while looking at Lin Jia, she curtsied and saluted, and said with a smile: "The slave maid is the adult's maid, the adult went out silently for five days and five nights, and finally came back, how can the slave and maid not come forward to serve?"
Lin Jia has been out for five days, but she doesn't seem to have lost weight, and her complexion is not bad.
Lin Jia heard the complaint in Yu Yu's words, but her heart was sweet - Yu Yu Yu cares about me!
He raised his eyes to look at Yu Yu, with a hint of grievance in his voice: "Yu Yu, I'm hungry!"
Yu Yu was most afraid that Lin Jia would be hungry, so she hurriedly said, "Do you have anything you particularly want to eat?"
Lin Jia smiled slightly: "As long as it's not chicken, it's not chicken soup, anything!"
In the past few days, he has been suppressing bandits in Yangshan, drinking chicken soup every day, and he is about to vomit!
Yu Yu walked over with a smile and said, "There is beef soup in the kitchen, I'll go and give you a hot bowl of beef soup!"
Lin Jia's eyes have been following Yu Yu, and after listening to her words, he immediately said without thinking: "Let's go back to the room first!"
When he heard that Yu Yu no longer called himself a "slave" and called him "an adult", he knew that he had succeeded in temporarily diverting Yu Yu's attention, and he was not in a hurry to eat supper.
I haven't seen him for five days, Yu Yu has been worried for five days, and now she is happy when she sees Lin Jia, and immediately goes to the main room with Lin Jia.
