Chapter XXXIV: The Epistles

Qingcha has been pestering Yu Yu, and Yu Yu was entangled by her, so she smiled and said, "Then you boil the bath water for me, and I'll take a bath!"

Qingcha didn't care about such a request, and immediately agreed - she always took a bath and Yu Yu helped her boil water, and Yu Yu took a bath, she helped boil water, isn't this normal?

After taking a shower, Yuyu was a little hot, and pushed open the window to breathe, only to find that the snow outside was gradually getting heavier, and a thin layer of snow had fallen on the ground in the courtyard.

She happily sat in front of the window and watched for a while, and when it was a little chilly, she closed the window and read a book to the candlestick on the small kang table.

The book Yu Yu is reading now is the "Tang Poetry Collection" taken from Lin Jia's study, and when she read a sentence in Bai Juyi's "Handan Winter Solstice Night Homesickness" "Handan Post is on the winter solstice, and the shadow in front of the knee lamp is accompanied", Yu Yu couldn't help but smile slightly.

She is also in a foreign land now, and it is also winter, and she is also reading in front of the lamp with her knees crossed, but she has the company of Qingcha, the son to wait, and the four partners Ah Cheng, Ah Qing, Ah Chi and Ah Lan, I feel really happy!

Early the next morning, Yu Yu and Qing Cha got up.

At this time, it was not yet dawn, and it was dark outside. The howling north wind whipped up snowflakes and hit the back window of the moonshine paper, "crackling" straight out.

When washing and combing her hair, Yu Yu found that her jasper comb was missing, and she couldn't find it after looking for a long time, so she suspected that she had combed her son's hair last night and forgot to go to the Luohan bed in her son's room.

She always had a good idea of what to do, so she took a royal blue ribbon and combed the latest fashionable bun, found a pair of blue ceramic bead earrings and put them on, and went to the main room to wait.

Lin Jia was going to the county government hall to order Mao, and he had already gotten up early, and was sitting on the Luohan bed reading a dossier.

Yu Yu knew Lin Jia's habit of getting up early to drink a cup of tea first, so he made a cup of tea and sent it in, and gave it to Lin Jia.

When Lin Jia was tasting tea, Yu Yu's wonderful eyes patrolled around the Luohan bed several times.

The Luohan bed was neatly laid with a blue brocade mattress and embroidered brocade pillows of the same color, but nothing else.

Yu Yu was a little disappointed in her heart, and sighed quietly - although this jasper comb was not worth much, it was a piece of jewelry that she liked very much, and she was naturally a little lost in her heart.

Lin Jia sat on the Luohan bed and saw Yu Yu standing on one side, but his eyes were wandering, and he was wandering around on the Luohan bed, knowing what Yu Yu was looking for, but he didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Yu Yu had no choice but to retreat and bring breakfast over with Qingcha.

After rinsing his mouth with breakfast, Lin Jia instructed Ah Qing to bring an official uniform to change into, and then got up and went out.

When he arrived at the porch, Lin Jia found that the snow had fallen all night, and a layer of snow had fallen on the branches of the poplar trees in the courtyard, which was frozen crispy, and was blown by the north wind, making a "click" sound, and a thick layer of snow had also fallen on the roof of the county yazheng hall in front of him - the whole world became a world of snow.

At this moment, Yu Yu's crisp and sweet voice came from behind him: "Ah Qing, Childe's umbrella!"

Lin Jia turned his head to look over, only to see Yu Yu chasing after him, and while crossing the threshold, he opened the umbrella in his hand and handed it to Ah Qing.

Yu Yu wore an embroidered orchid sapphire blue jacket, tied a white Luo skirt, and sent out an oil-paper umbrella painted with orchids, the whole person was elegant and fresh like a budding orchid, in this gloomy and cold snow dynasty, Lin Jia's eyes lit up.

Ah Qing laughed: "Yu Yu, this umbrella is for girls, and the son can't use it!"

Yu Yu's eyes flowed, looked at Lin Jia, and said in his heart: The son is so good-looking, what a match for this umbrella!

She thought so in her heart, but said in her mouth: "Anyway, you are entering from the back hall of the county government, and it is only a few steps, so it is better to play this umbrella!"

Lin Jia saw that Ah Qing was still talking, so he glanced at Ah Qing lightly.

Ah Qing was most afraid of his son, and when he saw this cold-soaked sight, he suddenly shuddered and kept silent.

Lin Jia reached out and took the oil-paper umbrella from Yu Yu's hand, and instructed Ah Lan: "Take twenty taels of silver and give it to Hollyhock, and let Hollyhock buy a few oil-paper umbrellas and keep them at home for later use!"

Ah Lan hurriedly agreed, he was born in the dark and pretty, and he was a very stable teenager.

Yu Yu squinted his eyes and smiled: "Childe, you don't need so much to buy an umbrella!"

Lin Jiaqing walked into the snow with the oil-paper umbrella painted with Gongbi orchids, but his voice drifted over with the wind and snow: "The rest of the silver, you go and buy a little maid to come back!"

With that, he left without looking back in the snow.

Although she was abused a lot by Princess Li, Lin Jia was never short of money.

His father, Xingping County Wang, is not good, but he didn't say anything to Lin Jia's son, especially when it comes to spending money, every time they meet, he has to ask: "Ajia, are you short of money?"

And Lin Jia never saves money for his unreliable father, anyway, if he doesn't want it, his father will spend it on all kinds of women every once in a while - the king of Xingping seems to have a collection habit, specializing in collecting all kinds of beauties, and never knows how to be satisfied.

Yuyu: "......"

Ah Lan took two ingots of silver and handed them to Yu Yu.

As soon as Yu Yu took it, he felt a heavy drop in his hand, and couldn't help laughing, and asked Ah Lan: "Ah Lan, even if these seven people in our family buy an umbrella each, it won't cost a tael of silver; A little maid, generally five taels of silver is enough, what is the son doing with me so much silver? ”

Ah Lan thought about it seriously and said, "Maybe Childe wants you to buy a good-looking maid?" Or is it a maid who can cook? Or is it a maid who can do needlework? ”

When Yu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself!"

After Lin Jia left, Yu Yu and Qingcha began to have breakfast.

After breakfast, the two of them began to clean up the kitchen and clean up, and they were busy for half a day before they were done.

In the afternoon, when the snow stopped, Yu Yu gave her twenty taels of silver and asked her to buy a few umbrellas, and then buy a maid and tea.

When Qingcha heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Yu Yu, let's go find someone to have a good look, we have to buy a capable one back, and I can help make up for us!"

Yu Yu nodded, feeling that Qingcha made a lot of sense.

The more Qingcha thought about it, the more she couldn't sit still, so she begged Yu Yu and said: "Yu Yu, we have nothing to do in the afternoon, just go out and buy an umbrella, and then inquire about Renyazi's home, and go and look at each other!"

Yu Yi was planning to stew old hen soup for Lin Jia for dinner, and needed to go outside to buy an old hen, so she agreed.

It's just that before going out, she took a dark blue cushion made of cloth before, wrapped it in a wrapper, handed it to Qingcha and said: "I went to find my son last night, Wang Qingyu helped us a lot, take this cushion I embroidered and give it to him as a thank you gift, he is working in the county office, just enough to put on the chair!"

Qingcha took it and said, "Brother Wang should still be on duty in the duty room today, I'll send it to him later!"

Yu Yu nodded, put the two ingots of silver in his money box and locked them, but took some broken silver and put them in his purse and went out.

She just went to see people today, and brought so much silver, in case she lost it or was stolen, how could she see her son!

Outside the duty room at the east gate of the county government, Yuyu waited outside with an umbrella, and Qingcha entered the duty room with a cushioned baggage.

Wang Qingyu was the only one in the duty room, he was lying on the bookcase, holding a knife and carving wood carving, and when he saw Qingcha coming in, he got up with a smile and said hello.

Qingcha handed the burden to Wang Qingyu, lowered her head a little shyly, and said softly: "Thank you for taking Yuyu to find your son last night!"

Wang Qingyu smiled and said, "Some little things, don't worry about them!"

Qingcha always felt that Wang Qingyu was very handsome, so she didn't dare to stay longer, so she hurriedly bent her knees and was blessed, and then withdrew.

When she got outside, she remembered that she had forgotten that the cushion was embroidered by Yu Yu, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad - the flowers embroidered on the cushion were so delicate, and her needlework was not so good!

After Qingcha left, Wang Qingyu opened the baggage, took out the soft cushion, looked up and down, pinched and pinched, but found nothing.

He lowered the cushion, a thoughtful look on his handsome face.

After buying umbrellas at the grocery store, Yu Yu gave the guy in the shop six copper coins and asked the guy to send the five umbrellas to the duty room at the east gate of the county government, and said that a girl surnamed Yu in the back house bought them.

Anyway, the business of the county government is not ignorant of ordinary businessmen.

The man agreed, and diligently found a rope to tie the five umbrellas together.

Yu Yu asked with a smile while watching the guy tie up the umbrella, "May I ask which one is the one with the best reputation in our neighborhood?"

Because Princess Li has always wanted to harm Lin Jia, Yu Yu didn't dare to ask people in the county office, for fear that Princess Li's people would take advantage of it, so she went outside to ask irrelevant people.

The guy looked like a kind person, tied the rope in a knot, and said: "Go east out of our shop, and enter the first alley, it is our most kind-hearted person on our side, Wu Yuhui's wife, she has the best reputation in business, and never does anything to force good people to become prostitutes!"

Yu Yu heard this, secretly remembered in her heart, and when the guy came out of the shop with the bundle of umbrellas, she and Qingcha also left the shop and went east.

After finishing business in the afternoon, Lin Jia sat outside in the study to dictate the letter, and on the small bookcase on the side, A-Qing was writing hard.

After writing a letter, Ah Qing spread out the letter paper to dry the ink, and said tentatively: "Childe, this is a letter to the prince, and the slave thinks you should write it yourself...... If the prince finds out that it was ghostwritten by a slave, I don't know how to get angry! ”

Lin Jia frowned and said, "Father loves to be angry!"

He said impatiently: "He loves to be angry, so let him be angry!"

Ah Qing didn't dare to say anything.

Although the prince is in a high position, he never touches the people who are valued by their sons; And if Childe is unhappy, it is very terrifying!

Their son's personal servants naturally would rather the prince be half angry than be a little angry - the prince went early because Princess Jiang went early, so he was angry enough!

It's time to write a letter to her grandfather and uncle in Beijing, Lin Jia didn't need to say much about Aqing, picked up the Zihao pen by herself, and wrote it quickly.

The last letter, and the most important one, Lin Jia sat in front of the bookcase, and thought about it with his left hand for a while, and then he picked up the pen and wrote-"Niece Jia kneels,

The emperor's uncle Wanfu Jin'an ......"
