Chapter Forty-Eight: A Serendipitous Encounter

Hu Qingchi had already made an appointment with his friends to go to Rouge Lane together, but who knew that he was taken by his brother to ask for peace to the magistrate, and he was naturally 10,000 unhappy in his heart, but because of his brother's prestige, he had to be wronged.

After the little servant entered the bright room, Hu Qingchi obediently followed his brother to salute the New Year.

Although Lin Jia was only sixteen years old, when she looked at Hu Qingchi, she felt that the other party was very naïve, so she encouraged her in an old-fashioned manner, ordered Ah Lan to give her a red seal, and chatted with Hu Yingzhi.

He felt that although Hu Yingzhi looked like a flower in the fog, he was also a rare talent, so he tried his best to win over.

Hu Yingzhi also had the intention to test Lin Jia, so the two chatted quite speculatively, and it sounded quite lively.

Hu Qingchi didn't understand a word, and sat on the circle chair placed against the east wall in a daze.

On the opposite side is the west dark room, and there is a green gauze curtain hanging on the west dark room, and there is a faint person in it, who seems to be reading and writing.

Hu Qingchi was so bored that he observed the person inside, and found that the person had a slender figure and soft movements, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Lin Jia, who was chatting with Hu Yingzhi, saw it, hurriedly raised his hand to his lips and coughed lightly.

Hu Yingzhi hurriedly looked at his younger brother and almost died of anger, just at this time, Yang Xin, Helianshan and a group of officials came to Lin Jia to pay New Year's greetings, and Hu Yingzhi took the opportunity to take Hu Qingchi to get up and say goodbye.

Out of the bright room, Hu Qingchi couldn't help but turn his head to look at the window in the west dark room, but the window was pasted with brand-new moonlight paper and red window flowers, so he naturally didn't see anything.

As soon as he came out of the county mansion, Hu Qingchi saw that his brother's face was not safe, and immediately said: "Brother, are we going to go to Emperor Zhang's mansion next?"

Hu Yingzhi's fist, which was originally hidden in his sleeve, slowly loosened, suppressed back the anger that was about to erupt, and with a "hmm" sound, he raised his feet and walked forward.

Hu Qingchi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as he arrived outside the gate of Zhang Huang's house, Hu Qingchi spoke again: "Big brother, just now in the mansion of Lord Lin in Zhixian County, there was a woman reading and writing in the west wing, with a good figure and a beautiful posture——"

He glanced at his brother, and when he saw that his brother was expressionless, he continued: "I heard from the officials that there is a maid in Lord Lin's room, very beautiful, it should be the one I saw just now, it turns out that she can still read and write, Lord Lin is also strange to have Yanfu, this red sleeve is fragrant and reads at night——"

Hu Yingzhi's immortal temperament is difficult to maintain, the peach blossom eyes squinted slightly, and looked at Hu Qingchi with a faint cold light: "Get out!"

Hu Qingchi's trick succeeded, pretended to be afraid, and ran away.

Kunpeng has been watching from the sidelines, and quietly reminded when he saw this: "My lord, the second son is not happy to entertain with you, and now he can be regarded as escaping......

Hu Yingzhi let out a breath slowly.

He naturally knew that his brother was a mud that couldn't support the wall, so he was even more angry.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Yu Yu went to the inner study to get the book, who knew that as soon as she entered, the county Cheng Hu came over, Yu Yu was not good to come out rashly, so she simply read the secretary's notes in the inner study, but she was very happy.

Lin Jia didn't break anyone here all morning, and Yu Yu happily stayed in the inner study all morning.

According to the tradition of Zhao County, Qingzhou, the lunch on the first day of the Lunar New Year is of course dumplings.

Xu Erniang ordered a pot of dumplings, Yu Yu filled a plate of dumplings and a bowl of dumpling soup, adjusted the chili oil dish and vinegar dish, and served it to Lin Jia on a tray.

Lin Jia rinsed his mouth with lunch, and was holding a cup of tea in his mouth, when he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Yu Yu: "The first day of the Lunar New Year here in Zhaoxian County is to burn incense at the Jade Emperor Temple in Qiyun Mountain in the northeast of the city, do you want to go?"

When Yu Yu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Naturally, I want to go!"

Seeing that Lin Jia had no expression on his face, Yu Yu hurriedly smiled and said: "Son, our hometown Wanzhou, on the first day of the Lunar New Year and the third day of March, we have to go to the Bixia Temple in Dushan to burn incense, and my neighbor's sister and I go up the mountain together on the first day of the Lunar New Year every year, and eat a meal in the Bixia Temple before going down the mountain......"

Thinking of the past, a look of confusion appeared on her face.

Three or four years have passed, and Sister Jiazhi is afraid that she is already married......

Lin Jia raised her eyes to look at Yu Yu, and saw that she was looking at herself with a lot of longing in her eyes, so she said, "You go and clean up, and you will set off in half an hour!"

Yu Yu's eyes were shining: "That tea is ...... them"

Lin Jia didn't speak, and Xiuchang's eyes looked at Yu Yu quietly.

Does Lao Tzu look like someone who will take all the maids out to play?

Being looked at by Lin Jia like this, Yu Yu's heart beat a little fast, and she hurriedly replied "yes", and went to change her clothes and clean up.

Yu Yu returned to the West Wing, but found that Qingcha was not there, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, worried that Qingcha had gone to see Wang Qingyu privately.

She cleaned up a little, put some rose balm on her lips, took the new big red sleeve jacket made for the Spring Festival and put it outside, and walked out.

Outside the gate, in addition to the horses that Lin Jia, Ah Qing and Ah Lan were going to ride, there was also a warm sedan chair.

When Yu Yu saw it, she couldn't help but be a little moved, looked at Lin Jia with a smile, and curtsied: "Thank you, son!"

She originally planned to walk to the Jade Emperor Temple of Qin Yushan, but she didn't expect Lin Jia to actually let people prepare a sedan chair.

Half an hour later, Lin Jia and the others arrived at the foot of Qiyun Mountain.

Ah Lan had been here before, and he was familiar with the road, and he pointed to the corner of the yellow tile and red wall exposed in the verdant pines and cypresses on the mountainside, so that Lin Jia and Yu Yu could see: "That is the Jade Emperor View!"

Yu Yu glanced at it, weighed it, and felt that with her physical strength, such a distance was really nothing.

However, she looked at Lin Jia's thin little body, and finally felt that it was enough.

Lin Jia couldn't help but be annoyed and angry when she saw Yu Yu looking at herself like this, and silently raised her legs and walked towards the mountain gate.

Yu Yu and Ah Lan hurriedly followed, while Ah Qing stayed behind to watch the sedan chair with the sedan driver.

In the viewing pavilion halfway up Qiyun Mountain, Hu Yingzhi, wrapped in a brand-new white fox fur, was sitting on a wooden chair drinking tea, Hu Qingchi was lying on the railing in a daze, and Kunpeng was standing quietly waiting on the side.

A middle-aged man in brocade came up with two relatives panting, and bowed his hand to Hu Yingzhi from afar.

Hu Qingchi recognized that this person was Song Tixing from the Zhaoxian Punishment Center, and hurriedly followed his brother to greet him.

Song Tixing and Hu Yingzhi exchanged pleasantries, sat down to drink tea and chat.

Hu Qingchi was absentmindedly lying on the railing, and when he heard Song Tixing and his brother talking about what seaside mining and what government land, he was naturally not interested, so he continued to look at the young women coming and going on the mountain road.

Although there are many women coming and going on the mountain road today, they are all ordinary appearances, and nothing can enter Hu Qingchi's eyes.

Hu Qingchi was a little interested, and suddenly saw a girl coming over at the turn, looking at the posture of the girl, he looked at it intently, and his eyes widened all of a sudden: this girl combed her peach hair, only wore a silver plum blossom hairpin, her small face was snow-white, her eyebrows were picturesque, her cherry lips were red, she was wearing a big red sleeve jacket, and she was tied with a plain white satin skirt.

His eyes lit up, and he said in his heart: It's really a mountain that doesn't turn around, this Zhao County is really small!

Lin Jia walked very slowly, and when Yu Yu saw that Ah Lan was accompanying Lin Jia, she ran up like a deer, ready to run to the pavilion on the mountainside to wait for Lin Jia.

As soon as Yu Yu looked up, she saw Hu Qingchi, who was staring at her with a smile, and was immediately startled, and immediately recognized that this lazy young man was the one who chased after him last time, and hurriedly looked back.

On the mountain road not far below, Lin Jia walked up slowly.

Hu Qingchi smiled slightly and said, "This girl, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you remember me?" I am the second eldest of the Hu family in Dongguan, Zhaoxian County, my name is Hu Qingchi, we met last time! ”

Yu Yu didn't say anything, and stood there holding on to the railing on the outside of the mountain road, waiting for Lin Jia and Ah Lan to come up.

Hu Yingzhi was discussing a major matter with Song Tixing, and suddenly heard Hu Qingchi flirting again, so he got up and walked over, ready to teach his immature brother a profound lesson.

As soon as he walked to the railing of the pavilion, he saw the jade gardenia standing under the pavilion, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Yu Yu was also stunned when she saw Hu Yingzhi coming over.

Hu Yingzhi was wrapped in a white fox fur that he had never seen before, and his skin was as white as porcelain, his eyebrows were dark, and his lips were red, which was a thrilling beauty......

Anyway, since Master Hu is here, this disciple shouldn't do anything to her.

Thinking of this, Yu Yu smiled and said, "Master Hu!"

Hu Yingzhi looked at Yu Yu quietly and always felt that the scene in front of him seemed to have appeared in a dream, Yu Yu was wearing a red jacket and white dress, and she called herself "Master Hu" with a smile......

Seeing this, Hu Qingchi hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Big brother, do you know this girl?"

Hu Yingzhi said lightly: "This is the maid in the room of Lord Lin of Zhixian County, you died of that heart!"

Hu Qingchi: "......"

He was about to persuade his brother to help him get this girl, when he saw a young man helping an elegant and handsome young man to go around the big stone and walk over slowly, it was Lin Jia of Zhixian County.

Hu Qingchi temporarily suppressed the restlessness in his heart, glanced at the girl, and followed his brother and Song Tixing to meet him.

Song Tixing was the first time to see Lin Jia, the new magistrate of the county, and while greeting him, he quietly looked at it, and found that Lin Jia was sixteen or seventeen years old, slender and tall, wearing a moon-white robe, and a black satin Xuanhu satin cloak, more and more like a Zhilan jade tree, elegant and noble.

When the adults were talking and greeting, Yu Yu silently stood behind Lin Jia with Ah Lan.

She knew that Hu Qingchi was still peeking at her, so she couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Hu Qingchi looked at Yu Yu with burning eyes, and said in his heart: Since I know that it is the maid of Lord Lin of Zhixian County, then things are much easier, I don't believe that I Hu Erlang can't hold the beauty......

Lin Jia noticed that Hu Yingzhi's younger brother had been staring at Yu Yu, and he was very disgusted in his heart, but his face smiled more and more amiably: "Lord Song, Lord Hu, are you going to go up the mountain next?"

Song Tixing and Hu Yingzhi naturally answered "yes".

Lin Jia smiled slightly: "Lin is tired, I have to go down first!" Leave! ”

He really arched his hand and walked down the mountain with Yu Yu and Ah Lan.

Song Tixing and Hu Yingzhi couldn't help but look at each other.

They happened to have something to talk to Lin Jia, who knew that this Lin Jia would be so unruly to play cards, just leave!

Hu Qingchi was rarely quiet, standing aside silently thinking about how to set a trap and lure this beautiful lady to the bait......
