To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 86 Volume 3 Man Jianghong

There is no place to take a bath in the academy, and you can't boil water, so you have to go to the bathhouse outside to take a bath. You Miao traveled all the way to Beijing, half sleepy, turned off the lights after the curfew, and went to bed early to sleep with Li Zhifeng.

When You Miao woke up the next day, breakfast had already been served in the room, and the early morning fog had not cleared. Zhang Wenhan was packing his luggage outside, and Li Zhifeng was sweeping the floor in front of the porch.The doorways of other juzi were in a mess, only You Miao's room was cleaned up.

As soon as You Miao woke up, Li Zhifeng came in to wait on him, while Zhang Wenhan came in with his clothes and shook them off, waiting for You Miao to wear them. A few scholars were poking their heads at the door, as if they saw something strange—it was indeed a strange thing. Serve another Juren.

You Miao also noticed it, and said, "Zhang Wenhan, don't worry about me, just keep busy with yourself, it's not good to spread the word."

Zhang Wenhan said: "No matter what they say, the young master is the young master after all."

You Miao said: "You are not my servant in the first place, we are companions in the villa, these years we are just friends."

Zhang Wenhan replied: "If the young master hadn't taken him in, Wenhan could only make a bed and wander around with a few books. How could he be here today?"

You Miao knew that Zhang Wenhan valued friendship and knew how to repay kindness, so she couldn't help him, but after thinking about it, she still ordered: "You can't do this when you meet an official outside."

Zhang Wenhan nodded, and You Miao stopped forcing him, and sent him out for breakfast.

"What's there to eat in the cafeteria?" You Miao asked.

"Dough, pickles." Li Zhifeng replied.

You Miao lost her appetite when she heard it, and said, "I don't want to eat those."

Li Zhifeng took the robe and put it on You Miao, and replied, "I know you don't want to eat, so I bought chicken porridge and pastries."

You Miao immediately moved her index finger and went out to sit in front of the porch. There were three food boxes outside. Zhang Wenhan divided the dishes into chopsticks, three bowls of chicken porridge that was still hot, and a stack of nine steamed osmanthus milk cakes. Waxy, roasted quail is shredded and placed on a plate, and a bowl of tea eggs.

"Let's eat." The three of You Miao sat and ate. A scholar in front of the corridor came out to wash his hair and face, and he greeted them. When he passed by, he couldn't help but glanced a few more times. You Miao was also uncomfortable and was about to move in. I eat in the room, but I can't bear to part with this beautiful spring morning.Said: "It's hard to live anywhere, it's hard to be rich, it's hard to be poor."

Li Zhifeng smiled, Zhang Wenhan said with a smile: "Whatever they think."

"Fangmin's mouth is better than Fangchuan." You Miao knocked on the bowl with chopsticks, pointed at Zhang Wenhan, and said, "Take it easy, don't take a test without taking the exam."

Zhang Wenhan laughed so hard that he couldn't hold his chopsticks steady, and said, "I heard that the young master is flourishing in the capital, who are you afraid of participating?"

You Miao said seriously: "Who said that? That's not the case."

Zhang Wenhan said: "I heard from my husband that the young master can eat well in Beijing, and even the sons of the prime minister's mansion have to be polite to the young master."

You Miao said: "I only had a few playmates back then, can Li Yan be polite to me? To hell..."

While talking, Chang Yuan and Shao Wei came over from outside, standing in the yard, Chang Yuan said: "Master please come early."

There were more and more scholars, so they stood and watched each other, as if laughing at You Miao, and moved the family scene to the Guozi School, hey, it's interesting.

You Miao did not avoid people, and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

Changyuan said: "I just woke up, come here and listen to orders."

You Miao said: "Take the shopping list with you. You two go to Xishi Jiekou. You can eat whatever you want. The public account will send me a box of oolong later. I forgot to pack it when I unloaded the car yesterday."

Changyuan bowed and said yes, and led Shaowei away. You Miao didn't eat enough last night, so she ate five milk cakes, a large bowl of porridge, and three tea eggs in one sitting, and said contentedly: "Boil some water, Grab a cup of tea."

Li Zhifeng cleaned up the table, Zhang Wenhan went to get the stove to light the fire, and You Miao sat on the porch. A group of scholars came back early and were discussing where to go to play. Feeling strange and funny, when someone came up to say hello, he said with a smile: "I heard that you Liuzhou people can't live without tea."

You Miao frowned: "I'm used to it, isn't it the same as you Jizhou people love to eat Xin? Brother Zheng, please."

You Miao gave him a seat, and a group of scholars were standing in the yard discussing where to go, and someone asked: "You Xiandi, Zheng Yong, Zhang Mohuai, the three of you, are you going to enjoy the spring scenery together?"

You Miao said with a smile: "No, I just arrived in the capital, I am not acclimatized, I am lazy, you play."

People in Zheng Yongchao's courtyard said: "I can read books."

Zhang Wenhan didn't even talk, just waved his hands, and then picked up the pot to make tea.At this time, someone came outside again, a middle-aged man, dressed in a fine attire, wearing a jade-encrusted belt, and wearing a jade wrench in his hand.A group of servants followed behind him, the scholars were startled, they thought it was the government who came to arrest them, and immediately fell silent.

"What's wrong?" You Miao was blocked from seeing.

Zhang Wenhan said: "Here comes an official, the young master recognizes him?"

Li Zhifeng suddenly said: "The people from the prime minister's residence are here, the third housekeeper, Li Mo."

The middle-aged man asked in the courtyard: "Excuse me, is Mr. You from Liuzhou here?"

"Yes." You Miao said: "What's the matter? Please step aside and let me see... Ah! Who did I say! Why is it you, come and drink tea."

The middle-aged man took out a seal from his sleeve, stepped forward and handed it to You Miao, saying: "My young master has invited Pingxi from Hubu, Sima Huang from Dali Temple, son of Ling Hanlin, young man Qin from the Ministry of Rites, and several sons from Gyeonggi. , preparing for April [-]th, to set up wine and listen to the opera at Qinghe Village, to welcome Young Master You. The tea is over, and I have to go to the palace later."

You Miao took Feng'er and said, "Okay, you go back and tell Li Yan that you will definitely be here." After thinking about it, she teased with a smile: "That kid Li Yan went to Tingyu Tower last night, so why don't you come here?" Not honest."

As soon as You Miao thought about it, Li Yan knew that it was impossible for Li Yan to know that he was going to Beijing so soon, and You Miao had a face-to-face meeting with Liu Shaling from Tingyu Building on the bridge yesterday, and she recognized her on purpose, so Li Yan went to sleep When his old friend was good, Liu Shaling would mention this matter.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan went there last night, and when he learned about You Miao's return, he sent someone to send a post for him to go.

The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed by the words, and bowed to leave.

The scholars didn't know where he came from, so they whispered to each other. When they looked at You Miao again, their eyes were a little different. At first, they thought he was just an ordinary young master, but the list of names and official positions reported by the housekeeper stunned everyone.
