Chapter 29: Conspiracy
Ah Chi, who was guarding the tea stove in the warm pavilion under the porch outside, quickly rushed in.
While helping Lin Jia, who had fainted, to the brocade couch on the side, he asked Yu Yu, "Yu Yu, what's going on?"
Yu Yu was very worried, her heart was pounding, and she tried her best to calm down: "I...... Hand...... It was bleeding, and when Childe saw it, he fainted......"
She had already guessed that her monthly letter was coming at this time, but she was still surprised that Lin Jia's body was so weak.
When Ah Chi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't get in the way, Gongzi faints blood, just smell a special peppermint oil!"
With that, he got up and took a small white jade box from the Duobao Pavilion, unscrewed the box and put it on Lin Jia's nose.
Yu Yu smelled the fragrant mint fragrance next to her, and hurriedly sucked it a few times.
At this time, Lin Jia's long eyelashes moved, and Yu Yu knew that he was about to wake up, so he hurriedly said, "Ah Chi, I'll wash my hands!"
The back of her skirt was soaked with blood, and she had to hurry to change her clothes, lest she faint again when her son woke up.
Ah Chi let out an "um" and continued to let Lin Jia smell the peppermint oil.
Yu Yu put her hands behind her back and slowly retreated.
As soon as she walked out of the bright door, she began to run back to the west wing with her skirt.
Qingcha was sitting on the circle chair in the bright room and washing her feet, when she saw Yu Yu running in panting, she hurriedly said, "Yu Yu, what's wrong?"
Yu Yu hurriedly ran into his bedroom in the north dark room, took out the moon letter belt he had made earlier, and took another set of inner and outer clothes to change into, and only left the bedroom half a day later.
Qingcha was worried, she had already splashed the footwashing water, and was waiting for Yu Yu in the bright room, and when she saw her come out, she hurriedly got up and said, "Yu Yu, what happened?"
Because the moon letter came, Yu Yu's heart was relaxed for a while, and he smiled: "My moon letter is here suddenly!"
Hearing this, Qingcha laughed: "Yuyu, you ...... Why did your monthly letter come so late! β
Yu Yu was a little embarrassed to laugh, so she slapped the tea a few times, and then said: "Qingcha, Childe was a little unwell just now, you go and make the bed for Childe, and show your face in front of Childe!"
Qingcha stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm not going, Childe is so scary!" I just have to listen to your arrangement and do the chores! β
Yu Yu hurriedly pulled her and said earnestly: "Childe just doesn't like to talk, he is very kind, you can't be a rough maid for the rest of your life, right?"
Qingcha blinked her black and white eyes: "You are so smart and diligent, and you love to worry, why don't I just follow you?"
She doesn't like to worry about it, but now that she has identified Yu Yu, she is single-minded and refuses to change easily.
"When did I worry about it?"
Yu Yu originally didn't admit that she was worried about it, but after thinking about it, she found that she was indeed more worried than Qingcha, so she had to say, "...... All right! β
Yu Yu couldn't take Qingcha, so she secretly made up her mind that if Qingcha had been following her, she would always take care of Qingcha.
Qingcha saw that Yu Yu was thoughtful, and hurriedly said: "By the way, Yuexin is here to drink hot honey and ginger tea, I'll go to the kitchen to make it for you!"
Yu Yu couldn't help laughing: "Then I'll help my son make the bed, and then I'll go to the kitchen to find you!"
After Lin Jia woke up, he still had palpitations in his heart when he sat behind the bookcase, he had fainted blood since he was a child, and he didn't know the reason.
Yu Yu walked in, holding a porcelain tea cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Childe, this is honey and ginger tea boiled in clear tea, how about you taste it!"
Lin Jia looked at Yu Yu's big crystal black eyes and red cherry lips, her heart was beating a little fast, and her face was a little hot, so she lowered her eyes and looked at Yu Yu's waist tentatively.
Yu Yu changed her clothes again, took off her original blue satin jacket and snow-white long skirt, changed into a white silk narrow-sleeved jacket, and tied a satin skirt embroidered with red roses, which looked quite pretty.
Lin Jia quietly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup and tasted it.
After Lin Jia finished drinking the honey and ginger tea, Yu Yu said with a smile: "Son, the bed has been cleaned up, can you go wash and rest now?"
Lin Jia nodded and left the inner study with Yu Yu.
Qingcha was afraid that he would come back after Yu Yu settled down and slept with his son, and the honey and ginger tea was already cold, so he put it in a warm pot and waited for Yu Yu in the bright room.
As soon as Yu Yu came in, she poured a cup of ginger tea and handed it to Yu Yu, and said with a smile: "I have already drunk it, you should drink it while it is hot!"
Yu Yu tasted it, felt warm and sweet, and the ginger was fragrant, so he drank it in one sip.
Seeing Yu Yu finish drinking ginger tea, Qingcha laughed and said, "Tomorrow's son will start early, let's go to sleep quickly!"
Yu Yu felt warm all over, smiled and agreed, and went to wash without mentioning it.
A few days later, Yu Yu and Qing Cha went out to buy vegetables and came back, passing by the door of the east hall of the county ya, just in time to see the county lieutenant Helian Shan and a young man dressed in a dark color and walking out of the small door of the east hall.
Yu Yu looked at it and found that the young man's face was almost blue, but his eyebrows were thick, his eyes were dark and deep, and his lips were red, but this strong contrast showed that he was extremely sickly and weak, and it was the very good-looking man that Yu Yu and Qingcha had met in the rouge gouache shop last time.
This man's beauty was like lightning, and it crossed Yu Yu's mind, and she remembered it until nowβshe had never seen such a beautiful man before!
Qingcha also saw it, and stood there blankly, just looking at this sick beautiful man.
Helian Shan is discussing with Hu Yingzhi, the county leader, about inviting Lord Lin of Xinzhi County to eat and drink.
At this time, he found that Hu Yingzhi was looking ahead with a smile, so he followed Hu Yingzhi's line of sight and found that it was the two little maids of Lord Lin.
Yu Yu hurriedly pulled Qingcha's hand, and the two curtsied together, and left with the basket of vegetables.
Hu Yingzhi recognized Yu Yu, looked at the backs of the two little girls with a smile, and suddenly laughed.
Helian Shan looked over, and then he found that the one who was born ordinary among the two little maids was walking with the same hands and feet, and couldn't help laughing.
Hearing the laughter behind him, a layer of sweat broke out on Yu Yu's back, and when he looked at Qingcha, he found that Qingcha was walking with his hands and feet, so he pulled Qingcha's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Qingcha, go wrong, take your left foot first!"
Qingcha was so nervous when she thought that the sick beautiful man was looking at her back, and she was reminded by Yu Yuyi, so she was so nervous that she couldn't even walk.
Yu Yu smiled and held her hand and walked forward with Qingcha.
Her hands were warm and soft, chubby, and Qingcha suddenly had a backbone, and she became bolder, and then she returned to her normal walking posture.
At this moment, Yu Yu heard a coughing sound behind him, and his voice was muffled, as if he was about to cough out his lungs.
She turned her head to look and saw that the sick beautiful man was holding the poplar tree beside the east boulevard with one hand, and holding a plain gauze handkerchief with the other hand on his mouth, and the whole person was huddled in a ball, coughing violently.
The county lieutenant, Helian Shan, stood aside, gently tapping his back through his clothes.
Listening to the heart-rending cough, Yu Yu's face turned pale, he didn't dare to look at it anymore, and sped up his pace.
Hu Yingzhi's coughing finally stopped.
He stuffed the plain gauze handkerchief in his hand into his sleeve pocket, gasped and raised his eyes to look at Helian Shan, with a wry smile on his pale and beautiful face: "Lord Helian has not been in Zhaoxian for a long time, I don't know, I was a child...... My family suffered, my father and mother were killed, I was chased and killed by the enemy, I was forced to jump into the sea for nine cold days, and then I swam back desperately, and I suffered a crime, my lungs were damaged by the cold sea, and I fell into the problem of coughing......"
His father and mother died and the family business withered, all because of his beauty......
Helian Shan couldn't figure out the details of Hu Yingzhi, and said with a straight face: "Lord Hu, you still have to take care......
Looking at Hu Yingzhi's increasingly pale face, he couldn't go on.
Hu Yingzhi's body recovered a little, and he continued to walk with Helian Shan towards the east gate of the county office.
The two discussed the matter of the county officials banqueting the county magistrate Lin as they walked.
Helian Shan proposed to ask for a large private room in Meixi Building, the largest restaurant in Zhao County, and the officials accompanied Lord Lin to have a drink, which can be regarded as acquaintance.
Hu Yingzhi said with a smile: "Lord Helian, leave this matter to Hu!"
Helian Shan knew that Hu Yingzhi had been operating in Zhao County for many years, had a lot of power, and had a wide range of contacts, so he nodded and agreed: "It's so troublesome for Lord Hu!"
Hu Yingzhi smiled and said, "It's not enough to worry about it!"
Since he has received a generous remuneration from others, he should do his best to share the worries and problems of the other party and prepare an unforgettable coming-of-age ceremony for Lin Jia!
Back at the back house, Yu Yu and Qingcha hurriedly changed their clothes and tied their aprons, and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
While they were busy, Lin Jia came back.
Lin Jia took Ah Qing into the courtyard, and saw that the yard was empty, and he didn't see the shadow of Yu Yu after sweeping around, so he asked Ah Cheng, who was on duty in the duty room today: "Where is Yu Yu?"
Ah Cheng smiled and said, "Yu Gongzi, Yu Yu and Qing Cha are preparing lunch in the kitchen!"
He was worried that Gongzi would think that Yuyu and Qingcha were lazy, so he hurriedly said: "Childe, they have more work, laundry, cooking, needlework, and making tea...... It's all the ...... they're doing."
Lin Jia listened to it and remembered it in her heart.
After sitting down in the bright room, Lin Jia took the tea cup offered by Ah Chi, took a sip of tea, raised his eyes to look at Ah Chi, and said, "How are the people in Zhao County?"
Ah Chi thought for a while and smiled: "The people here in Zhaoxian are simple, the people are upright, they love to go straight, and they ......"
Hearing what he wanted to say, Lin Jia frowned and said, "What else?"
A Equator: "Son, Zhaoxian has always produced beautiful men and women, whether it is buying a show girl in the palace every year, or a dignitary buying concubines and children, you have to go to Zhaoxian to choose!"
When Lin Jia heard this, her delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said in her heart: Being in a poor and remote country, but having a peerless appearance, is equivalent to having a strange treasure but not being able to protect it, which is not necessarily a good thing......
He lowered his eyes and continued to ask Ah Chi: "Are the women in Zhaoxian diligent?"
Ah Chi smiled: "The woman by the sea, her husband is not at home when he goes to sea all the year round, so she is naturally very diligent!"
Lin Jia knew it in her heart and didn't say more.
