Chapter Twenty-Six: A Rainy Night

After Yu Yu's careful care in the past few days, Lin Jia's body finally recovered.

Dr. Meng from Xinglin Medical Officer was invited to visit again, and he personally said that Lin Jia didn't need to drink medicine anymore.

Yu Yu looked at Lin Jia's thin body and pale face, she didn't believe it very much, and still quietly worried about Lin Jia.

It rained again that night.

The rain wasn't heavy, but it was pouring down.

It's very cold outside, but it's warm as spring in the house because of the birth of earth dragons.

Lin Jia wrote a letter in the inner study in the dark room in the west of the main room, and Ah Lan waited on the side.

After writing the letter, Lin Jia personally sealed it and handed it to Ah Lan: "Send it to Ye Chunshan, and ask him to send someone to Jiang Shangshu's Mansion in the capital and hand it over to my grandfather in person."

His mother, Princess Jiang, was born in the Gaomen Jiang family in the capital, and his maternal grandfather Jiang Yuntian had just been appointed as a scholar in the ministry, and several uncles were also officials in the capital.

Ah Lan took the envelope and was about to retreat, but Lin Jia said lightly: "Let Yu Yu come over."

"Yes, Childe." Ah Lan agreed and retreated.

Yu Yu is sitting on the embroidery couch in the room doing needlework.

Lin Jia has probably been too well nourished recently, and she has grown a little longer, and the white silk jacket she wore inside had to be remade.

Qingcha sat next to her, holding the embroidery and embroidery, and said, "Yuyu, what are you going to cook at noon tomorrow?"

Yu Yu had already thought about it, smiled when she heard the words, and said: "Last time I went to the vegetable butcher shop, I heard a daughter-in-law say that the vegetable butcher shop goes further, there is a river wharf, and there are fishermen on the wharf who specially row boats to sell seafood, tomorrow morning we will go to the wharf to buy some seafood, and cook a few seafood at noon, so that the son can change his taste!"

Qingcha listened, squinted her eyes and smiled-Yu Yu was too good to her, every time she prepared a delicious meal for her son, she never forgot to leave her a copy.

She suddenly remembered that she had run out of balsam to wipe her face, so she said: "Yuyu, I've run out of balm to wipe my face, let's go out to buy vegetables tomorrow, and go to the rouge gouache shop by the way!"

"Well, I have to go buy some lip balm too!" Yu Yu smiled.

Qingcha raised her eyes and looked at Yu Yu on the opposite side.

There is a candlestick on the small kang table, the candlelight is dim, and it looks more and more like Yu Yu's little face is snow-white and pink, with thick eyebrows and long eyelashes, the bridge of the nose is quite beautiful, and the lips are red, which is really good-looking.

Qingcha couldn't help laughing: "If you want me to say, you don't have to use anything except emollient balsam, but you like to dress up!"

Yu Yu carefully flew the needle and locked the edge: "I just like these things like rouge gouache eyebrows, fragrant, how fun!" It's just that the silver is limited, so I don't dare to buy more. ”

Qingcha smiled and said, "We still like beautiful jewelry and beautiful clothes, can't we afford them!"

Hearing this, Yu Yu stopped what he was doing, and said with regret: "This is ......"

She thought about it for a moment and quickly became happy: "However, we can slowly save money to buy jewelry, and we can make our own dresses!"

Both of them are ingenious, and when they see that others are wearing beautiful styles, they can basically make them in the same way.

Qingcha nodded: "According to what you say, I think the two of us are doing well!"

She smiled and looked at Yu Yu, who was concentrating on the white silk jacket of her second son, and felt that she was really lucky to have a friend like Yu Yu as a companion.

Yu Yu seems to never know sorrow, and is not afraid of anything, no matter how bad the environment is, Yu Yu can try to make life more interesting, comfortable, and happy.

She and Yu Yu are together, she really doesn't have to worry about anything, just listen to Yu Yu, anyway, Yu Yu is kind by nature, although she is smart, she never cheats people.

Thinking of this, Qingcha was a little melancholy: "Yuyu, if you were a man, how good it would be!"

Yu Yu was a little surprised, and raised her eyes to Qingcha with a smile: "Huh? Do you want to marry me? ”

Qingcha nodded seriously: "Marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat." I think if you were a man, I would have a good life if I married you! ”

Yu Yu felt that Qingcha's idea was really strange, laughed, and said, "Although I am not a man, if you want, I can always take care of you!"

"Really?" Qingcha's eyes were shining and she looked at Yu Yu.

Yu Yu smiled and nodded, her eyes shining like black gems in the candlelight.

She is born with a motherly nature and has too much love, Qingcha relies on her like a puppy and a child, and she also likes Qingcha's dependence.

Qingcha breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, I can rely on it for life, I can eat, sleep and sleep in the future, and I don't think about anything!"

Yuyu: "......"

How did she feel that her conversation with Qingcha had turned in a strange direction!

At this time, Yu Yu had already finished locking the edges, she tied a knot of the silk thread, took out scissors to cut the thread, and then began to inspect the white silk jacket that had been completely completed.

At this moment, Ah Lan's somewhat restrained voice came from outside: "Yu Yu, the second son called you over!"

Yu Yu heard this and hurriedly agreed.

She carefully folded the white silk jacket that was about to be sewn, got off the embroidered couch, and explained the tea while arranging the skirt: "I'll come when I go, if you want to sleep when you're thirsty, go back to the room to sleep first, tomorrow when the son is going to order, we have to get up early and wait!"

Qingcha smiled and said, "When the time comes, you will go and wait for the son to wash, and I will prepare the child's breakfast in the kitchen, okay?"

Yu Yu glanced at her and said softly, "You should go to the son and shake it for a while!"

Qingcha stretched out her arms and hugged her small waist: "Yuyu, I'll just follow you!"

She is not smart, and she doesn't like to use her brain, but her intuition is very accurate, she thinks Yu Yu is reliable, and she plans to rely on Yu Yu for the rest of her life!

Yu Yu raised her hand and knocked on Qingcha's head, and then went out with the folded white silk jacket.

Although it was raining lightly outside, from the west wing to the main room, you could just walk under the porch, but it was not raining.

Lin Jia was studying the "Great Zhou Law" in the inner study, when she heard Yu Yu's voice and looked up.

The inner study was lit with red gold branch lamps, and more than a dozen candles were lit together, illuminating the entire inner study room.

Lin Jia saw the white silk jacket in Yu Yu's arms at a glance, and her long eyes flashed.

Yu Yu was very smart, and when she found that Lin Jia was looking at the white silk jacket she was holding in her arms, she smiled and held it up for Lin Jia to see: "Childe, the white silk jacket that the slave maid made for you is the best Songjiang white silk, and the cotton inside is the best Songjiang clear water cotton, you can wear it and try it!"

Listening to Yu Yu's crisp and beautiful voice, Lin Jia felt that his heart seemed to be immersed in the warm spring water, comfortable and relaxed, he got up and untied the black satin embroidered belt, took off the moon-white brocade robe on his body and handed it to Yu Yu.

Yu Yu put his moon-white brocade robe on the back of the brocade chair, unfolded the white silk jacket in his hand, and served Lin Jia to put it on.

Although Lin Jia was only sixteen years old, he was slender and tall, and Yu Yu had to tiptoe to help him get dressed.

When Yu Yu Yi leaned over to help Lin Jia tidy up her white silk jacket, Lin Jia smelled the elegant wax plum fragrance on Yu Yu's body, so she asked softly, "Do you like the fragrance of wax plum?"

Yu Yu's hands were busy, and her voice was brisk: "The slave likes the mint scent!"

She sniffed the mint smell on Lin Jia's body, squinted her eyes and smiled: "It's the smell of Gongzi's body, when I was in the county king's mansion, I also picked some mint in the garden and made several mint sachets and mint purses!"

Lin Jia was a little puzzled, lowered her eyes and thought.

Yu Yu looked at Lin Jia, and found that he had made the white silk jacket a little bigger, Lin Jia was too thin, just eating and drinking was not enough, he really had to think of letting him stay up!

Lin Jia didn't know that Yu Yu was thinking about how to force herself to practice in summer and winter, but she felt that this white silk jacket was light and warm, and it was very comfortable to wear, and the whole person was warm.

He wanted to say thank you Yu Yu, but unfortunately he had always been silent, and he didn't know how to say those nice words, so he said for a while: "Yu Yu, are you literate?" If you can't read, I'll teach you!

Yu Yu smiled proudly: "The slave is literate!"

Even in the Xingping County Palace, literate maids like her are rare, so Yu Yu is a little proud and feels that she is a model of self-taught.

Lin Jia glanced at Yu Yu, raised her hand against her nose, coughed lightly, and asked again: "Can you write?" If not, I'll teach you!

Yu Yi smiled even more proudly, and saw that the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the bookcase next to him were complete, so he glanced at Lin Jia, and then looked at the bookcase: "Childe, I will write a few words with your pen for you to see?"

Lin Jia: "...... All right! ”

Yu Yu rolled up his sleeves, walked to the bookcase with great ambition, took a piece of Xuelang paper and spread it on the bookcase, pressed it with Duyu paperweight, and then picked up the Zihao pen resting on the inkstone, carefully dipped it in some ink, and began to write on the Xuelang paper.

Lin Jia unconsciously approached and found that Yu Yu wrote "Poppy Beauty" by Jiang Jie of the previous dynasty.

He stood aside and chanted the song in his heart:

"The boy listened to the rain song upstairs, and the red candles were dim. In the prime of life, listening to the rain in the passenger boat, the river is wide and the clouds are low, and the broken geese are called the west wind. Now listening to the rain monk's house, the temples have stars. Joys and sorrows are always ruthless. A term of step forward, drip to dawn. ”

The smile on Yuyu's face also disappeared, and she wrote intently in the sound of the dripping rain outside.

Her handwriting was practiced by herself with a small thin stick on the sand, biased towards official calligraphy, but very beautiful, although a little immature, but not bad.

After writing this poem, Yu Yu turned her head and looked at Lin Jia proudly: "Childe, how is the slave's handwriting?"

Lin Jia nodded and said reluctantly, "...... Also ......"

His "okay" was enough to make Yu Yu happy, she leaned over and carefully blew the ink on the Xuelang paper, and said, "Tomorrow I will frame this paper and paste it in my room!"

She was so proud that she was negligent for a moment, and instead of calling herself a "slave", she said "I".

But Lin Jia didn't care, he stared at the poem "Poppy Beauty" written by Yu Yu, and there was an inexplicable pathos in his heart, but he didn't understand why.

After waiting for Lin Jia to freshen up, Yu Yu was making the bed and spreading the quilt, and suddenly heard Lin Jia's voice coming from behind: "You ...... tonight Just stay here......"

Yuyu: "......"

Her back became stiff, and she turned around stiffly for a long time, looking at Lin Jia with a smile: "Male...... Childe, slave and maid...... Ten...... Fourteen years old......"

Hearing this, Lin Jia's face turned red instantly, even his ears were red, and his long eyes became watery.
