Xu Erniang kept crying, but she refused to say anything.
Yu Yu didn't urge her, and sat there quietly with her.
It's already February, and there are a few peach blossoms planted in the backyard, and the peach blossoms are like clouds in the warm spring sun, and the sound of bees buzzing is far and near, and the fragrance of flowers is in the air, which is intoxicating.
In such a quiet fragrance, Xu Erniang suddenly spoke: "Miss Yuyu, have you heard of the Salvation God Sect? β
Yu Yu stared at Xu Erniang, her eyes were clear: "I have only heard of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism, and I have not heard of the Salvation God Sect ......"
Xu Erniang lowered her head and wiped her tears again, and said: "You go and tell the adult, if the adult has a heart, he will secretly go to the countryside of Zhaoxian County to visit the Salvation God Sect, and other slaves dare not say it......"
Yu Yu comforted Xu Erniang and Jin'er again, and then got up and left.
Xu Erniang and Jin'er have never been willing to go out since they entered the county government, and they are not even willing to go out to buy vegetables.
In fact, Yu Yu has long felt strange: what are Xu Erniang's mother and daughter afraid of? So much so that with the protection of the magistrate, they will not even go out of the county gate?
After returning to the outer study, Hollyhock told Lin Jia about Xu Erniang's reaction.
Lin Jia listened, pondered for a while, and said, "I'll talk to Hu Yingzhi first." β
Hu Yingzhi is a local, so he might know something.
Yu Yu nodded, and was about to go out to invite Hu Yingzhi, but was stopped by Lin Jia.
Lin Jia looked down at the file on the bookcase, and said without raising his head: "Let A-Qing go, you can make me tea again!" β
Hu Yingzhi was born too beautiful, he didn't want Yu Yu to have more contact with Hu Yingzhi, lest Yu Yu be seduced by Hu Yingzhi.
Yu Yu agreed and asked Ah Qing to go to the county government to invite Hu Yingzhi, and he made tea for Lin Jia.
According to Yu Yu's temperament, whenever she does what she likes, she always doesn't bother and enjoys it.
After explaining to Ah Qing, Yu Yu began to prepare for making tea.
Lin Jia waited for a long time without waiting for tea, looked up, and found that a wenge tea table had been placed on the low couch in the study, and there was a small red clay charcoal stove on the tea table, and a small copper kettle was sitting on the small charcoal stove, and Yu Yu was walking in with a set of porcelain tea sets and a set of plain porcelain tea sets on a tray, and couldn't help but smile - Yu Yu just likes to do these delicate things!
After settling everything down, Yu Yu cleaned her hands again, sat down behind the tea table, and waited quietly for the water on the red peat stove to boil.
Lin Jia simply stopped looking at the file, but watched Yu Yu make tea with one hand.
At this time, the water was bubbling and bubbling, and Yu Yu first scalded all the tea utensils with boiling water, and then used silver tweezers to put some tea leaves into the porcelain pot, and then poured a little boiling water into the porcelain pot to warm the tea buds.
Seeing Yu Yu concentrating on holding the porcelain teapot and shaking it gently, waiting for the fragrance of tea to waft out, Lin Jia couldn't help but wonder.
At this time, the fragrance of tea has slowly wafted out, Yu Yu picked up the porcelain teapot, and carefully poured the light blue tea into the pair of porcelain tea cups in front of him.
She was not in a hurry to give it to Lin Jia, but put the boiling water for a while, then poured it into the plain porcelain pot, brewed another pot of tea, rushed into a pair of plain porcelain tea cups, and then carefully observed the four tea liquids.
Lin Jia watched it for a long time, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Yuyu, what are you looking at?" β
Yu Yu looked up at Lin Jia with a serious expression: "I want to see if the color of the tea brewed in boiling water is better, or the color of the tea brewed after a while of boiling water is better!" β
Seeing her so serious, Lin Jia felt funny in her heart, and smiled slightly: "What about the results of your observations?" β
Yu Yu was very happy when she heard this, and walked to Lin Jia with a porcelain teacup and a plain porcelain teacup on a tray, and put the teacup on the bookcase for Lin Jia to see: "My lord, you see that tea is better!" β
Lin Jia observed carefully, pointed to the plain porcelain teacup and said, "I think the tea liquid in the plain porcelain teacup seems to be more green!" β
Yu Yu smiled widely, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and a pair of pear vortices on her snow-white cheeks appeared from time to time: "I also think this brown color is better!" β
She smiled and said, "My lord, you can taste each one separately and see which one tastes better!" β
Lin Jia saw that she was so happy, so she picked up the porcelain tea cup and the plain porcelain tea cup and tasted them respectively, and then said, "The plain porcelain tea cup tastes better!" β
Yu Yu smiled and said: "Then I can conclude that if you put the boiling water for a while and then brew the tea, the tea brewed will taste better!" β
At this moment, Ah Qing said outside: "Lord Hu, Lord Hu has arrived!" β
Lin Jia restrained the smile on her face: "Please come in, Lord Hu!" β
Ah Qing lifted the green gauze curtain on the door and invited Hu Yingzhi in.
Yu Yu raised his eyes and looked over, only to see Ah Qing lifting the curtain on the door, and Hu Yingzhi walked in.
He has changed out of his official robe, and now he is wearing a white silk shirt and a Tianshui Bixia robe, wearing a soap yarn folded scarf, with peach blossom eyes smiling, the whole person is elegant and cold like a green bamboo, and slowly walked into the study.
As soon as Hu Yingzhi came in, he smelled the ethereal fragrance of the hair tips that filled the room, and couldn't help but smile: "This is the best Ming Qian hair tip!" β
He also likes to drink Maojian every day, and when he smells the fragrance of Maojian, he is naturally in a good mood.
Lin Jia said with a smile: "You can also taste the freshly brewed tea!" β
Hu Yingzhi smiled slightly: "That is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" β
He sat down on the rosewood hoop chair on the west side.
Yu Yu held a plain porcelain tea cup and presented it to Hu Yingzhi.
Hu Yingzhi raised his eyes to look at Yu Yu, with a hint of deep thought in his eyes.
When the four eyes touched, Yu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly lowered his head, and said in his heart: Lord Hu's eyes seem to be able to speak, but my family looks more pleasing to the eye and more delicate!
She stepped aside and stood silently.
Lin Jia glanced at Yu Yu, and saw that Yu Yu was not shy and blushing when she saw a beautiful man like Hu Yingzhi like ordinary girls, so she was relieved.
He picked up the plain porcelain teacup, took a sip, and then said, "Master Hu, have you ever heard of the 'Salvation God Sect'?" β
When Hu Yingzhi heard this, his expression immediately became serious, and he raised his eyes to look at Lin Jia, his peach blossom eyes were clear: "My lord, Xia Guan has indeed heard people talk about it." This Salvation Cult was passed down from Goryeo, and it was preached that those who sincerely believed in the Salvation Cult could heal all diseases and ascend, so there were many practitioners! β
A hint of disgust flashed in his eyes: "What is even more disgusting is that believers need to dedicate their wives and daughters to higher level believers for fornication, which is called devotion to God, which will wash away the sins of the family." β
Lin Jia didn't expect that there would be such an organization among the people, and immediately said: "Is this cult spreading widely in Zhao County?" β
Hu Yingzhi said: "It is mainly spread in the countryside of Zhaoxian County, which is quite rampant. Xia Guan once visited and found that there were also in Linxian, but it was not as serious as Zhaoxian. β
His voice was a little heavy: "Xiaguan once reported this matter in detail to the former magistrate, but the former magistrate Mi thought it was a trivial matter and laughed it off, but Xiaguan did think that the spread of the salvation sect in Zhao County was a big deal!" β
Lin Jiaxiu's long eyes were thoughtful, and her voice was quiet: "Why do you think so?" β
Hu Yingzhi thought for a while and simply said: "The Salvation God Sect comes from Goryeo, and the sect leader and high-ranking believers in the sect are all Goryeo. Zhaoxian has always produced beautiful men and women, and now the Great Zhou Dynasty goes up to the court and down to the officials' mansions, all of whom are concubines and prostitutes from Zhaoxian, these people have humble status, but their positions are extremely delicate; In addition, the county is near the sea, and the country of Goryeo is across the sea, so the geographical location is very important. The Salvation Church has been preaching in Zhaoxian County for many years, who knows if there is any other attempt! β
Hearing this, Lin Jia took a sip of the teacup and thought silently.
After a while, he said slowly: "What does Master Hu think of the case of the disappearance of Mrs. Xu's eldest son in Xujiagou today?" β
Hu Yingzhi's face showed a touch of deep thought: "My lord, Xia Guan thinks that this case may not be as described by Mrs. Xu, it is just a simple adultery and murder of her husband, and it may be more deeply involved!" β
He lowered his eyes, groaned slightly, and was about to automatically ask Ying to go to Xujiagou to investigate and make a secret visit, but he heard Lin Jia say: "Tomorrow, Lord Hu would like to go down to Xujiagou to investigate?" β
Hu Yingzhi's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he immediately got up and arched his hand: "Xia Guan is willing to follow the adults and follow the work of dogs and horses!" β
In the evening, when she returned to the county office, Yu Yu changed back into women's clothes and came to serve Lin Jia.
She didn't talk much, but she had a pleasant smile on her face, she was making tea, beating her back, and washing Lin Jia's feet, even making a bed for Lin Jia, and holding a pillow and patting it in front of Lin Jia, she was so diligent.
Lin Jia understood it in her heart, but she remained silent until she lay down on the bed, and then looked at Yu Yu, who was about to put down the gauze tent for him: "Do you want to follow me to the countryside tomorrow?" β
Yu Yu's big eyes were shining, and she nodded again and again: "Hmm! β
Seeing that she was so cute, Lin Jia smiled slightly and said, "I'm worried about danger......"
Yu Yu's eyes widened: "My lord, you are delicate and frail, it is precisely because I am afraid of danger that I want to protect you!" β
Lin Jia: "...... Get lost! β
Yu Yu put down the gauze tent suddenly, but she still held a glimmer of hope, and reluctantly stood outside the tent, but refused to leave.
As soon as Lin Jia opened his eyes and saw the shadow outside the gauze tent, he was almost frightened, and he had no choice but to say: "Go to sleep, you have to go to the countryside with me tomorrow morning!" β
When Yu Yu heard this, she immediately separated the yarn tent and hugged Lin Jia through the embroidered quilt: "Thank you, sir!" Your Excellency, you're so good! β
Even through the embroidered quilt, Lin Jia could feel the fullness of Yu Yu's chest, and he lay there stiff and motionless.
Yu Yu hugged twice, finally let go of Lin Jia, sat down on the side of Lin Jia's bed, and said excitedly: "My hometown is in the countryside of Wanzhou, in the spring, I go to my grandmother's house, from our village to the village where my grandmother's house is located, we have to pass through a big road, there are tall poplar trees planted on both sides of the road, behind the poplar trees is an endless undulating wheat field, if there are many green trees in the wheat field, it is a village." β
"Sometimes after walking for a while, I see a thatched hut next to the road in front, the thatched hut is surrounded by a bamboo fence as a courtyard wall, and several peach trees are planted before and after, the peach blossoms bloom just right, looking at it from a distance, the pink of the trees is so beautiful! There are also willow trees, with tender green goose yellow buds on the wicker, fluttering in the spring breeze......"
Her voice lowered, "I'll never forget that sight, but I can't go back...... When my mom and dad sold me, I swore I would never go back. β
Yu Yu never mentioned the past, as if everything never existed, this was the first time Lin Jia heard Yu Yu talk about the past.
Her voice was calm, but Lin Jia could feel the sadness in her heart.
Lin Jia stretched out his hand to hold Yu Yu's right hand, and said softly: "Follow me in the future, you will go wherever I go." β
Yu Yu quietly wiped away her tears with her left hand, and said with a smile: "It's decided, don't break your word!" β
Lin Jia saw her smiling sweetly, but there were tears in her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel even more distressed, so she held Yu Yu's right hand and shook it.
Yu Yu wiped away her tears, looked at Lin Jia seriously, and said: "The more I have been reading recently, the more firm I am in an idea - I want to walk many, many roads, go to many, many places, and see many, many people - this idea may be realized with adults!" β
Lin Jiaxiu's long eyes had a touch of firmness: "It will be realized." β
He also wants to read many, many books, walk many, many practical things, and realize many, many ambitions......
